EXT. PYTHIAN TREASURES NOVELTY MAGIC SHOP - DAY
ON a sign over the front of the diminutive building reading
'Pythian Treasures.'
TILT DOWN to Alicia shutting the front door and locking it
behind her.
She turns and JUMPS in fright at JORDAN 'JORDY' OSBOURNE with
dark curly hair and piercing blue eyes dismounting a bicycle
behind her.
He's gasping and sweating heavily, like he just ran across
the country to get there.
ALICIA
(frowning)
Sorry, I'm out to lunch.
JORDY
(out-of-breath)
This'll only take a second.
Alicia sidesteps and points her thumb behind her to a sign
hanging in the window.
ALICIA
(stern)
Out. To. Lunch.
JORDY
It's a matter of life and death!
ALICIA
We don't sell condoms.
She brushes past him, walking towards the lone car parked on
the street near her. Jordy trips over his own two feet as he
turns and tries to catch up to her.
JORDY
I don't... I don't need condoms! My
name's Jordy and I'm looking for-
(lowers his voice)
- I heard this was pretty much the
only place left in town that stocks
wolfsbane.
Alicia freezes, one of her feet hovering in mid air. She
turns to Jordy.
ALICIA
What do you need wolfsbane for? You
trying to hide from someone?
JORDY
(edgy)
Look, do you have any or not?
She runs one of her hands over his wrist. He yelps and jerks
it away, taking a few steps away from her.
She rubs her fore and middle fingers against her thumbs.
ALICIA
(under her breath)
You're coated in it. No wonder I
couldn't smell you coming.
Alicia turns her attention back to him.
ALICIA (CONT'D)
Why are you trying to hide from
werewolves?
JORDY
(laughing nervously)
Wer- werewolves? That's crazy, I'm
not hiding from-
(freezes; realizes)
Oh God, you're one of 'em!
He turns and sprints away-
- and runs face first into a STREETLIGHT POLE, knocking
himself out.
LOW ANGLE on the ground with Alicia in the background as
Jordy's body drops into frame.
ALICIA
(throwing her hands up)
So much for lunch.
EXT. DOWNTOWN NEW YORK CITY - DAY
TILT DOWN from the roof of the United Nations Headquarters
to a small parking lot two blocks away where Theiss is
standing in front of a camera, surrounded by nearly two
hundred followers, all of them wearing baggy clothes.
Several GROWLS emanate from his followers.
THEISS
We are on the verge of the largest
paradigm shift in history. Our
culture was built on a principle of
Darwinist-like natural selection.
(beat)
Kill or be killed. Centuries of
battles to the death have ensured
that only the strongest of mind and
body survived from generation to
generation. You nineteen thousand
eight hundred forty two represent
that evolution in this country. The
best of our kind. I ask for the
support of all of you and your
clans in the coming battle.
(beat)
The time has come for The Wild
Hunt.
INT. LOS ANGELES STAPLES CENTER - AUDITORIUM - DAY
CLOSE UP on Kaia and the unibrow Alpha sitting next to her.
Both look completely flabbergasted. The crowd gets restless
and agitated.
UNIBROW ALPHA
My God.
KAIA
Can't be.
THEISS (O.S.)
Every other clan Alpha in the world
has already pledged their loyalty
to the Wild Hunt. Swear your
allegiance and ensure a prosperous
future for your clan and all of
your brethren.
Theiss's feed from New York ends, replaced by a shot of Jonas
in the center of the floor, now flanked by nearly fifty men.
He nods to them and they all fan out. Jonas himself
approaches Kaia's section, locking eyes with her in
particular.
With no effort whatsover, he makes a standing leap from the
floor over the rail to the lower bowl, at least fifteen feet.
He tears his eyes away from Kaia, who never stops staring at
him, and looks down to a frail, withering, Hispanic Alpha
sitting in the front row.
The frail Alpha tilts his head back. CLOSE UP on his jugular.
FRAIL ALPHA
(stammering)
Th- the Landeverde clan... pledges
their allegiance to the Wild Hunt.
Jonas nods and looks to the next Alpha in the row. This one
mimics the same jugular-exposing motion.
NEXT ALPHA
The Kudary clan pledges their
allegiance to the Wild Hunt.
PUSH IN on Kaia as another Alpha swears his loyalty. And
another. And another.
INT. AIRPLANE - FIRST CLASS CABIN - DAY
Pike secures a metal briefcase in the overhead compartment
and takes an aisle seat in the first class area. Other
passengers pass by him as he slides a small pet carrier under
his seat.
He leans back in his seat and stares out the window.
EXT. UN HEADQUARTERS - DAY
Traffic swerves out of the way as Theiss and his troops
stride down the middle of the street, heading directly for
the entrance to the General Assembly Building, one of four
buildings that comprise the headquarters
Theiss stops just outside the building and holds his hand up
to halt everyone else's progress.
A TAXI skids to a stop a few feet in front of him. The
DRIVER, your stereotypical East-Indian sticks his head and
arm out the window and shakes his fist at Theiss.
DRIVER
Hey, ya mook, this ain't the
million whack-job march! Get your
asses out the middle of the street
before I run ya down!
Theiss's troops part down the middle, allowing Katja and him
to see the driver.
Katja glances to her grandfather.
THEISS
(in German; subtitled)
Deal with the traffic.
Katja whips her head back to the driver, her eyes now jet
black. She ROARS at him, revealing a mouth of sharp, canine
teeth.
DRIVER
(recoiling)
Jesus Christ!
Katja leaps forward and grabs the driver by the throat. She
grunts and literally RIPS half of his neck off!
The driver gurgles and gasps as he pats his wound. Seconds
later, he slumps over, half hanging out the window.
Witnesses to the kill across the street scream in fright and
run away.
Theiss holds out his hand and Katja drops the flesh into it.
As he takes a bite out of it, he points two fingers of his
other hand to the sky.
Then lowers them to point at the building.
All of his cronies ROAR as their bodies begin to change.
PAN ACROSS all of them as their muscle tighten and grow. All
of their eyes turn black as FUR sprouts all over their skin
and their clothes rip and tear as their bodies outgrow them.
Their snouts elongate.
CLOSE UP on one man's teeth as they stretch into sharp,
canine fangs.
PULL AWAY as the newly transformed WEREWOLF throws his head
back and HOWLS. The rest of the pack begin howling as well.
The onlookers who haven't ran yet finally decide now's a good
time follow suit.
The werewolves SNARL as they bound towards the UN building,
rushing past Katja and Theiss, who remain in human form.
INT. UN HEADQUARTERS - GENERAL ASSEMBLY PUBLIC LOBBY - NEXT
A SECURITY GUARD stares out the glass panes of the front
doors, his jaw dropped.
SECURITY GUARD
(drawing his gun)
Oh my God! Lock the building down!
We're under attack.
The werewolves crashes through the door, snarling and
growling at their prey. The guard gets one shot off before
he's quickly pounded upon.
EXT. UN HEADQUARTERS - DAY
Outside the entrance, several werewolves are scaling the
building, using their paws to punch footholds into the solid
brick wall.
Theiss stoically watches while taking another bite out of the
taxi driver's flesh.
INT. UN HEADQUARTERS - GENERAL ASSEMBLY PUBLIC LOBBY - NEXT
The werewolves gracefully leap and bounce off walls and the
ceiling, avoiding the gunfire of the security guards, who
scream as they're taken down, one by one.
ON a wall with a painting. The shadows of one guard pushing
the jaws of a werewolf dance along the wall.
The guard yells as the werewolf overpowers him and bites into
his neck, causing BLOOD to splash all over the painting.
The werewolf shakes his victim around his jaws like a rag
doll before flinging him into the painting, knocking it off
the wall.
The werewolf rears back and HOWLS at the top of his lungs.
EXT. UN HEADQUARTERS - DAY
One werewolf climbing the building stops at one window and
punches through it. It dips inside as another continues
climbing.
A third werewolf further up shatters another window and
enters the building.
INT. LOS ANGELES STAPLES CENTER - AUDITORIUM - DAY
TILT UP from the front row, across rows and rows of Alphas
with their necks still showing in a submissive gesture.
Jonas stands next to Kaia now. The unibrow Alpha has his head
raised, jugular exposed.
UNIBROW ALPHA
The Catsiroumpas clan pledges
allegiance to the Wild Hunt.
Jonas nods his approval and stares down at Kaia.
His mouth twitches slightly when Kaia STANDS UP and looks him
in the eye.
KAIA
This? Is Insane. My clan won't have
any part of it.
Kaia doesn't flinch, though unibrow Alpha behind her is
trembling enough for both of them.
Jonas breaks into a SMILE.
Kaia involuntarily SHIVERS courtesy of the chill running up
her spine, but she holds her ground.
Jonas steps back and sweeps his arm up towards the exit at
the top of the stairs.
KAIA (CONT'D)
(blinks)
What? Just like that?
Jonas nods. Kaia picks up her purse, never taking her eyes
off him, and starts up the stairs towards an exit.
UNIBROW ALPHA
(calling after her)
You're a disgrace to our kind!
Kaia never looks back when she responds:
KAIA
(muttering)
So I've been told.
Jonas sneers at her and takes out his phone.
INT. UN HEADQUARTERS - GENERAL ASSEMBLY PUBLIC LOBBY - NEXT
Theiss and Katja are riding an escalator to the next level.
Three werewolves leap over their heads and precede them.
Seconds later, screams and gunfire from more guards are heard
ahead of them.
Katja pulls out her cell phone.
ON the screen of the phone, showing a message written in
German.
KATJA
(in German; subtitled
English)
Only one of the American Alphas
refused to pledge to the Wild Hunt.
(beat)
A Kaia Sincaid.
(looks to Theiss)
A female Alpha?
THEISS
(in German; subtitled)
Of course the lone bitch is the
only one to say no.
(beat)
I want her entire clan slain before
moonrise. Make sure her blood gets
to us.
Katja nods and starts to reply to Jonas's message.
INT. PYTHIAN TREASURES - MAIN SALES FLOOR - DAY
Alicia is at the counter next to the cash register flipping
through a fashion magazine with one hand. Her other arm is
stretched out to her left out of frame.
PAN LEFT to an unconscious Jordy stretched out on the counter
with Alicia's hand holding an ice pack to his head.
Jordy moans and turns to his side, waking up.
ALICIA
(without looking at him)
Took you long enough, spaz.
She pulls the ice pack away and tosses it behind her, not
caring where it lands.
ALICIA (CONT'D)
You owe me lunch, by the way. Gonna
have to get something delivered
since my hour's up.
Jordy slides himself off the counter and staggers around,
still shaken up.
ALICIA (CONT'D)
Next time, don't ram your clumsy
ass into a light pole and we'll be
all good.
JORDY
Well I wouldn't have if-
A beat. All the cobwebs disappear instantly as he catches up.
JORDY (CONT'D)
(whirling on her)
Hey! You're a werewolf!
He starts backing away from her. Alicia, for her part,
continues flipping through her magazine.
ALICIA
If I was gonna eat you, I wouldn't
be sitting here bitching about
being hungry right now.
(stretches; yawns)
I'd be nice and full.
As creepy as her nonchalance is, the reassurance holds for
Jordy. He stops backing away from her and tentatively takes a
step forward.
Alicia jumps at him and lets out a guttural ROAR.
Jordy YELPS and falls backwards on his ass.
JORDY
Gah!
Alicia bursts into laughter. Jordy leers at her as he gets
back to his feet.
JORDY (CONT'D)
(seething)
Glad my terror amuses.
ALICIA
Man, even for a norm-wolf, you're a
wuss.
JORDY
For a... a what?
ALICIA
How long ago were you bitten?
Jordy, still a bit uneasy, keeps his distance.
JORDY
(shaky)
I was... six. This one night-
ALICIA
That's nice. So why do you want
wolfsbane? Who you hiding from?
JORDY
I'm not... I'm not hiding from
anyone.
He puffs his chest in a pathetic attempt to be manly.
JORDY (CONT'D)
I live off the grid. Can't have
anyone or any... thing finding me.
ALICIA
Ah, hiding your scent.
JORDY
Exactly.
ALICIA
Wolfsbane only blocks a werewolf's
sense of smell, stupid.
Any other creature, like oh say
vampires would smell you just fine.
Jordy blinks. The machismo disappears.
JORDY
(beat)
Oh.
ALICIA
(crinkles her nose)
Especially now. When's the last
time you showered, Johnny?
JORDY
(annoyed)
Jordy.
He steps up to the counter, right in front of her.
JORDY (CONT'D)
And I don't appreciate your-
Alicia's phone rings, cutting him off. She holds her hand up
to his face while answering it.
ALICIA
Yes, omnipotent sister.
(beat; listens)
Whoa, slow down. What?
INT. LOS ANGELES STAPLES CENTER - BATHROOM - DAY
Kaia is washing her hands in the sink while holding her phone
to her ear with her shoulder.
KAIA
Balthasar Theiss.
ALICIA (O.S.)
(through phone)
No way.
KAIA
I don't have a lot of time. I need
you to get home and get Mom-
TILT DOWN to stay with her as she lowers her head to the
sink.
KAIA (CONT'D)
- and Colby and get them-
TILT UP as she comes back up to see Jonas's reflection in the
mirror standing right behind her!
He wastes no time, grabbing her by her hair and SLAMMING her
face into the mirror.
It cracks, but doesn't break.
Kaia's phone falls from her shoulder in the assault and hits
the ground.
ALICIA (O.S.)
Kaia? Kaia?!?
Jonas, keeping his death grip on her hair, twists so his back
is to hers and flips her over his back to the ground.
He yanks her back up by her hair and slings her entire body
like a baseball bat into the mirror, shattering it.
He releases her and lets her crumple down on top of the sink
counter.
As Kaia writhes and moans in pain, Jonas steps back and
tenses his hands as FUR and CLAWS begin to form on them.
He drives his claws into Kaia's skin, one in her hip, one in
her shoulder, heaves her over his head and throws her through
the door of one of the stalls.
She smacks the wall behind the toilet upside down and flops
face first into the toilet.
LOOKING OUT FROM INSIDE THE TOILET
Kaia's eyes are closed and she SPITS a mouthful of blood into
the water. Her eyes snap open, JET BLACK.
She GROWLS as her teeth start to grow and sharpen.
NORMAL SCENE
Kaia bolts up to her feet and counters a punch from Jonas,
with a straight rightl, putting all her weight behind it.
The punch knocks Jonas off his feet. His head smacks against
the back of the counter and snaps off the tiled floor.
LOW ANGLE FROM JONAS'S P.O.V.
Kaia's feet and lower legs are visible under the wall of the
stall. They transform into furry paws and BURSTS out of her
heels.
INT. LOS ANGELES STAPLES CENTER - LOBBY - NEXT
Outside the bathroom, loud ROARS echo from inside before Kaia
(in full WEREWOLF form) and Jonas crash through the wall!
They roll around on the ground until Jonas gets top position
and leaps away from Kaia.
CIRCLE AROUND Jonas as he throws his head back and shifts
into a werewolf. A streak of silver fur runs down his back.
They snarl and posture at one another for a few seconds
before running into one another like rams.
Behind them, all of the Alphas begin to file out of the
arena, none of them throwing a second glance to the two
werewolves fighting nearby.
CLOSE UP on one of the sign-in tables. The Unibrow Alpha and
two others prick the skin of their fingers with a knife and
let it drip into a large glass flask.
INT. UN HEADQUARTERS - GENERAL ASSEMBLY HALL - DAY
The scene in the nearly two-thousand seat hall is utterly
chaotic, with representatives and their interpreters all
speaking at once.
SECURITY GUARDS are trying to herd them with no success.
Theiss's werewolves burst into the hall from every entrance.
The werewolves specifically target the guards, slaughtering
all of them in a matter of seconds.
The General Assembly reps stampede for the exits and are
driven back by the werewolves and herded into seats.
INT. LOS ANGELES STAPLES CENTER - LOBBY - DAY
Kaia is flung to the ground and rolls out of the way to duck
a diving Jonas.
She can't avoid his next attack, a slashing claw across her
back. The attack spins her around, lining her up for an
uppercut that lifts her into the air.
She smacks into the glass panel at the outside edge of the
lobby, leaving a spiderweb of cracks in it.
Kaia staggers back up just as Jonas pounces on her. He sinks
his jaws into her neck! Before he can clamp down, she rears
her arms back and buries her claws into his shoulders!
Jonas keeps his jaws around her neck and starts to spin in a
circle, whipping Kaia's body with him. He releases her,
sending her THROUGH the glass to:
EXT. LOS ANGELES STAPLES CENTER - CONTINUOUS
A portly security guard whistles to himself as he drives a
mini-cart around the perimeter. He SCREAMS when Kaia crashes
on top of the cart and knocks it over.
Kaia tumbles on the ground and comes to a stop on her side,
with blood oozing out of her.
Her body shifts back to her human form, completed naked (the
camera avoids the sensitive areas) with nasty gashes all
over.
Jonas, still in wolf form, lands between the two of them, his
weight leaving a hole in the concrete. He stalks towards Kaia
when a sound of a GUN CLICKING gets him to turn around.
The guard shakily points a gun at the werewolf.
GUARD
(terrified)
Ju-ju-just get away from her!
Jonas turns to the guard and stalks towards him. The guard
walks backwards, still holding his gun on the advancing wolf.
GUARD (CONT'D)
Hey, hey back up! Heel!
Jonas lets out an ear splitting howl that scares the guard
enough to drop his pistol.
A late nineties Toyota Camry speeds into frame and swerves at
Jonas, smashing its rear passenger side into Jonas.
Jonas is knocked about twenty feet away. Alicia throws the
driver's side door open and spots her sister immediately.
ALICIA
(to Jordy)
Grab her!
Jonas glances at Kaia, then over to Jonas and shakes his
head.
JONAS
No... no way! You do it!
Alicia huffs and gets out.
ALICIA
(exasperated)
Then get behind the wheel!
She runs over to Kaia while ripping off her jacket. As she
kneels down to cover her sister, she briefly looks over at
the guard.
ALICIA (CONT'D)
Get your ass out of here!
The guard doesn't need to be told twice. He's off and running
as fast as the cellulite blogs that pass for his legs can
carry him.
Kaia's head lulls from side to side, dazed.
KAIA
(slurred)
Alicia?
Alicia lifts a woozy Kaia up and helps her to the car.
ALICIA
Door!
Jordy, now in the driver's seat, twists his upper body around
to get the rear driver's side door open.
Alicia gets Kaia inside and climbs in after her.
Jordy floors it, kicking up a mess of smoke from the tires as
they speed away.
Jonas, back in his human body still with black eyes, steps
into frame. He locks eyes with Alicia, staring at him from
the back windshield of her car.
INT. ALICIA'S CAR - NEXT
Jordy swerves all over the road, getting horn blares from
pissed off motorists.
Alicia is in the back seat hovering over Kaia.
ALICIA
Christ, where'd you learn to drive?
JORDY
I'm didn't!
ALICIA
Just shut up and get back to the
shop!
Alicia slaps Kaia's cheek, trying to keep her awake.
ALICIA (CONT'D)
(frantic)
Kaia? Kaia, stay awake!
KAIA
(slurred; weak)
Need to... get Colby... Mom...
safe...
ALICIA
We will! Just stay with me.
(slaps Kaia's cheek again)
Kaia? Kaia, what happened?
Kaia coughs up a mouthful of blood, spitting some of it on
Alicia's face. Alicia doesn't flinch.
KAIA
Wild... Hunt.
JORDY
(looking back)
What? What'd she say?
Alicia swallows a lump in her throat. Fear seeps into her
expression. She shakes her head not wanting to believe it.
KAIA'S POV
Looking up at Alicia, the scene starts to blur out.
ALICIA
Kaia?
Alicia's voice echoes and sounds distant, like she's miles
away from Kaia.
ALICIA (CONT'D)
(shaky)
Kaia?
FADE TO BLACK.
INT. UN HEADQUARTERS - GENERAL ASSEMBLY HALL - DAY
Theiss stands at the main podium, looking out at the
congregation of frightened assembly representatives.
ANGLE ON a camera hanging in the ceiling above the hall with
a red light turned on.
Theiss glances up to it and smiles.
HAYA RASHED AL-KHALIFA, an Arabic woman in her early fifties
sitting in the front row, stands up and stares down Theiss.
Her resolve is remarkable given there's a werewolf a few feet
away from her.
AL-KHALIFA
(heavily accented)
What is the meaning of this
intrusion?
THEISS
A declaration.
(threatening)
Now sit down.
Al-Khalifa glances over to the werewolf near her, but doesn't
budge.
AL-KHALIFA
I am the President of this session
of the General Assembly. I demand
to know what this act of terrorism
is about.
EXT. ONE TIMES SQUARE - DAY
All city traffic is at a standstill as a massive crowd of
people are gathered around the towering building with LCD
screens showing the feed of the general assembly hall.
THEISS (O.S.)
The fact that the one hundred
ninety-one member states of the
United Nations saw fit to appoint a
filthy, lowly-
("spitting it out")
- woman as the head of the UNGA is
precisely why I'm here.
PAN ACROSS the crowd, getting various reactions, all of them
some form of disbelief.
One man in particular, we'll call him the MILITANT, is
actually smiling and nodding in approval.
MILITANT
Yeah, tell that bitch what's up!
