COUNTY CORK, IRELAND
30 YEARS AGO
A record is spinning on a record player. A hand reaches over and places the needle on the record.
"'The Shirelles' 'Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" Plays. The camera pulls back to show a man in the living room of a house. He's wearing pajamas and a robe while snapping his fingers and dancing around the room to the music. Through a window we see that it's raining outside, Behind him a woman carrying a briefcase enters the door.
"Padraic? Oh, what are you doing?"
He looks across the room "She loves this song."
Padraic and the woman look over at a baby laying in a crib and smile.
"It's the only thing that will put her to sleep. Oh, besides..." He twirls the woman around and they start dancing "This is our song." Padraic Says
"It's good to see you smiling, mo chuisle." She Says
"I'm trying, Maura..I'm trying." Padraic Says
We hear crying and the camera pans to the baby crying in her crib. Alongside the crying there is a high-pitched scream. Padriac squeezes his eyes shut as if in pain.
"Ohh! Do you hear that?" Padraic Asks
"That would be our daughter." Maura Says
The babies crying continues, they look concerned.
"No. I hear...A scream..It's" He grabs his head and bends over in pain "Ohh! Ohh! Ohh!" Padraic Says
"Hold on, Padraic! Just hold on!" Maura Says
Maura runs across the room and grabs a tray with some bottle on it from a cupboard and puts it in a table. Padraic turns around and is bleeding from his eyes and nose. He is still holding his head in both hands and groaning as the screaming continues.
"Get it out of my head!" Padraic Says
Maura grabs a bowl, drops it on the table and starts emptying the contents of some of the bottles from the tray into the bowl. Padraic starts banging his head against the wall as a spirit with glowing eyes and mouth, wearing a red dress appears behind him.
"Hold on!" Maura Says
The spirit growls and flies towards Padraic while the woman continues mixing.
"Aah! Ugh!" Padraic groans.
Padraic knocks himself unconscious and falls backwards onto a table. The spirit hovers with her face directly over his head, a long, thin tongue slithering towards Padraic's face.
"Get away from him!" Maura Says
The snarling, the spirit looks at the woman, waves an arm and the woman flies backwards into a piece of furniture, breaking the glass doors. The baby cries out and the spirit raises her head from the man to look in the direction of the baby. The spirit flies over to the baby while the woman crawls across the floor towards the table. She picks up a piece of the broken glass.
"No!" Maura Says
She makes a slice on her wrist with the broken glass and hold it over the bowl. As her blood drips onto the powders in the bowl there is a flash of bright light and the spirit vaporizes and disappears. The baby stops crying an looks around. The woman, her face cut and bloodied, pulls herself up the side of the crib and looks at the baby.
