Next week, a special Brimstone Movie, Escape. FADE IN: INT. A CAVERN DOWN IN HELL Off in the distance is an OPENING LIKE ONE WOULD USE TO WALK OUT OF A CAVE. But in front of it, stretching from one end of the cave to the other and spanning an additional thirty feet in depth is a HUGE WALL OF FIRE. Indeed, it doesn’t follow a random pattern of a burning fire but is almost like a huge invisible brick wall eternally lit up in flames. ASH (v.o.) I will arrange another escape from Hell. EXT. A ROOFTOP Leona Pride looks into a missle launcher viewport. THE VIEWPORT A SMALL WINDOW in the viewer is LOCKED IN PLACE over the distant image of the plane. A little graphic reads TARGET ACQUIRED. INT. A LIVING ROOM A little girl is looking up at her FATHER, who is listening on the phone with a PALE LOOK ON HIS FACE. He HANGS IT UP. FATHER It’s your Aunt Dorothy. She tried to fly here for your birthday, but... DAUGHTER But what? FATHER I’m sorry. Her plane crashed. She’s dead. ASH (V.O., Continued) I will set a new army of souls free to wreak havoc on this planet... EXT. AN OLD ABANDONED APARTMENT COMPLEX – NIGHT A six-story apartment building looms in front of us, modern-looking but abandoned now. Some of its windows are broken, but otherwise it is pretty much intact. It is quiet for a moment, until the silence of the night air is shattered by: A WOMAN’S SCREAM ASH (V.O., Continued) ...and on Stone. INT. DUSTY ROOM A black woman in a red dress is passed out on the floor, hovering over her is a man dressed like a Puritan of 17th century America. The Puritan RAISES THE KNIFE, preparing to impale the woman. But, without warning, he is grabbed from behind by Stone, who WRAPS ONE ARM AROUND HIS NECK and GRABS THE KNIFE WIELDING ARM WITH HIS OTHER HAND. PURITAN (partly choking as he speaks) No. Stop this madness. I must do God’s work. STONE Hanging innocent women may seem like God’s work to you. But you’re really in the employ of the other guy. INT. A HUGE FIREWALL SOMEWHERE ELSE IN HELL Like the firewall we saw earlier, it is like a huge brick wall eternally in flames. Just beyond it is a large WHITE CIRCLE, the PORTAL back to Earth. A mass of DAMNED SOULS are approaching the firewall, as it slowly begins to lose power. A HEAVY FOG is everywhere. INT. HELL One of the Devil’s UNDERLINGS, a tall humanoid with REDDISH SKIN, HORNS and LEATHERY WINGS ON HIS BACK appears and seems to STUMBLE AROUND as if he was blinded by the fog. The Devil notes the vapor, though appears unaffected. He collars the Underling and interrogates him. DEVIL What’s going on? Where’d this fog come from? EXT. A ROCK FORMATION SHAPED LIKE AN ALTAR Ash still has a toga coyly wrapped around her. She is alone, the Devil has left her here. Nearby is a PORTAL TO EARTH. SHE SMILES IN TRIUMPH. UNDERLING (V.O) I don’t know... INT. A HUGE FIREWALL IN HELL The fire GOES OUT COMPLEETLY. The mass of damned souls RACE FORWARD over the empty space left by the absent firewall. UNDERLING (V.O., Continued) ... but there’s been an escape... The escaping souls plunge into the white circle at the far side, the portal back to Earth. UNDERLING (V.O., Continued) ...a massive one. ASH (V.O.) I assure you – this is just the beginning. EXT. THE ALTAR The Devil looks around for Ash, but by now he knows she won’t be found. He sees something is scratched into the rock. ASH (V.O.) Everyone’s days are numbered. CU ON MARKING It's the number 113. DEVIL (V.O.) (furious) Damn you, Ashur! Damn your black soul to Hell! DAMN YOU FOR ALL ETERNITY!
