"ten pounds of Tim's favorote toenail clippings, if she was lucky"
'Murder' got mucho buzz because it was the most DVRed show in history when it debuted so I am not overly hopeful about the numbers re: Elementary pulling ahead, but one never knows.
I also know that there was a lot of boo hooing about the Elementary premier - and I mean a lot of negative fan comments.
EXT. COLLINWOOD - DAY
Late afternoon... long shadows cross the grounds.
INT. DAVID'S BEDROOM - DAY
The door opens and Victoria looks in. A mound under the covers suggests David's still asleep.VICTORIA
David? It's almost 4:00... you've
been sleeping all day.
Only silence from the bed. Moving quietly, Victoria enters David's room, noticing a
PHOTO
on the bed-stand. It's in a colorful frame, the words "Mom And Me" printed in the plastic. As Victoria holds the photo to the light, she sees a much younger David, smiling and happy, standing next to a woman. Eerily, though, the
WOMAN'S FACE HAS BEEN TORN OUT,
leaving only a ragged, empty hole. Victoria stares at the bizarre image with a SHIVER, then reaches out toward the bed.
VICTORIA (CONT'D)
David?
As she gently shakes the blankets, they fall away, revealing an arrangement of PILLOWS and
ANGELIQUE'S SILVER AMULET
lying on the sheet. Realizing David's gone, Victoria grabs the amulet and bolts for the door.
INT. CAROLYN'S BEDROOM - COLLINWOOD - NIGHT
Joe's asleep in a chair by the bed, exhausted, as blue shadows slash across the room. REVEAL that the bed is empty, the covers, thrown off. PAN AROUND to REVEAL
CAROLYN
standing woozy on the balcony, her nightgown fluttering, a bloody bandage on her arm where she's ripped out the I.V. needle. Trance-like, her yearning almost unbearable, she
OPENS THE COLLAR OF HER GOWN,
her skin pale in the moonlight, baring her wounded throat to the night.CAROLYN
Please... come back...
OFF Carolyn, reaching out into the darkness...
ACT FOUR
FADE IN:
INT. VICTORIA'S BEDROOM - COLLINWOOD - NIGHT
Blue moonlight flickers through the windows, shimmering across Victoria's sleeping face when suddenly she HEARS DAVID'S SCREAMS echoing from somewhere inside the house.DAVID (O.S.)
HELP!! KEEP HER AWAY!!
Stunned, Victoria throws off her covers, and bolts out of bed.
INT. GREAT HALL - COLLINWOOD - NIGHT
Victoria rushes downstairs in her nightgown, Roger and Elizabeth (both in night clothes) close behind. As they hit the floor, they find David frantically turning on the lights.[/b]
ROGER
David?
As the lights come on, REVEAL David, filthy, soaking wet, fingers bloodied from digging.VICTORIA
David! What happened?
David whirls, eyes wide with fear.DAVID
Don't let her take me!
David runs to Roger and grabs him in a desperate hug. Awkward, Roger. FLINCHES, like he's not used to holding his son.ROGER
David, what's wrong? Where have
you been?
David looks up at him through tear-soaked eyes.DAVID
By the old house...
(scared)
She's not real, is she? She can't
be real...
VICTORIA
David, who are you talking about?
DAVID
She was wearing a white dress....
and her hair was like gold.
ROGER
You must have been dreaming.
David digs into his pocket, desperate to prove himself.DAVID
No! She was wearing this.
David pulls out Angeligue's SILVER AMULET, the tarnished metal GLEAMING, under the lights.
Uneasy at David's emotional tumult, Roger turns to Elizabeth and Victoria.
ROGER
He's obviously had a nightmare....
you'd better get him upstairs.center]DAVID
No... you've got to believe me...
As David clings desperately, Roger uncomfortably pries his small hands away.DAVID (CONT'D)
Don't leave me!
ELIZABETH
Roger, he needs you.
puts Roger's remark: "David is my son and I need him to be strong" into a different light.And now we can see that, to say the least, it's an entirely different light!!
