MUSIC CUE INTERIOR HOSPITAL ROOM AMBIENCE WOMAN You have to remember there are no guidebooks for these sort of things. There are no flow charts to show you the pitfalls in dealing with demons. There are no tutorials on dark magic. How were we to know we had let them out? One by one they entered our world because we left the gate open. But unlike the neighbor’s dogs we never saw them until it was too late. What we soon discovered was that they liked the taste of our world and they had no intention of going back to theirs. MUSIC THEME ANNOUNCER This is 13 Reflections. Reflection 7: Demon Dogs MUSIC CUE DARK MAGIC NARRATOR Ray lowers the red cabinet off the dolly then gives it a shove against the recently painted wall. Ray rubs his chin as if forgetting what he was just in the midst of doing then he opens the cabinet doors. He leans in and peers into the dragon mirror. RAY Polly? You in there? FINGER TAPS ON MIRROR SILENCE SILENCE RAY (CONT'D) Hey. You need to let Polly go. RAY (CONT'D) Come on. Let’s make a deal. RAY (CONT'D) Well fuck you then.

Then UCLA law school top one percent. SHERIFF No way. DEPUTY All that education before the FBI. SHERIFF Impressive. DEPUTY Not as impressive as catching a serial kidnapper, breaking a sex trafficking ring and negotiating three hostage situations. Hmmm that’s odd my cousin also says she’s also a hottie. SHERIFF She? You mean he. And no he’s not all that hot. DEPUTY My cousin wrote she. Look read it yourself. SHERIFF He seems like a he/him. DEPUTY Gender is a social construct. SHERIFF Or there are two Agent Kelly Lee’s in the FBI. CUT TO: MUSIC CUE ASHLEY'S HOUSE NARRATOR Polly is crashed out in her bedroom. Ray and Ashley peek in from the hall. RAY So you just pulled her out? ASHLEY Sounds less terrifying when you put it that way. RAY But she’s okay? ASHLEY She’s fine, like her old self. Not a care in the world. I guess it’s like after having a nightmare, the more you wake the more you forget. FOOTSTEPS ON CARPET FOOTSTEPS DOWN STAIRS RAY So, is it over? ASHLEY I hope so. NARRATOR Ashley points to the mirrored medicine cabinet door leaning against the bottom of the stairs. The hinges are bent. A crowbar lies on the bottom step. RAY Good job eliminating the threat. A little rough, but effective.

RAY Yeah, about that. ASHLEY About what? You didn’t open it did you? RAY I did but only to asked it to let Polly out. ASHLEY You asked it? But You didn’t touch the 13th reflection? Ray? RAY Of course not. I might have tapped it to get its attention and said let’s make a deal, but nothing happened. I wonder. ASHLEY NARRATOR Ashley glances at the medicine cabinet door leaning against the wall. Something moves behind Ray. RAY The crew have installed most of the windows on the front of the building. NARRATOR Ashley stares at the mirrored cabinet door then glances around the room looking for the source of her growing concern. RAY Ashley? FLUTTER OF LEATHERY WINGS ASHLEY Yes? RAY I wanted to get the windows up on the front entrance so we won’t delay Einhorn’s photo shoot. ASHLEY Oh. Good thinking. MONSTER CHITTER CLAWS ON WOOD RAY Brrr. Is there a window open? I’ve got a sudden chill. NARRATOR Frost creeps up the beer bottles on the table. Ashley glances back at the mirrored medicine cabinet door. In the reflection a dog sized creature covered the skin of a crocodile, horns of a goat, eyes of a snake and teeth like needles climbs down the wall behind Ray. Ashley snaps her head back to Ray. She looks over his shoulder. There’s nothing there. Ashley snaps her gaze back to the mirrored medicine cabinet door, the creature climbs on top of unopened moving boxes. RAY What’s wrong? MONSTER CHITTER DEMON DOG GROWL NARRATOR Ray looks at his now frozen beer bottle. The creature leaps onto Ray’s neck. Ray grabs at the invisible creature. Blood sprays. Reflected in the mirrored medicine cabinet door, Ashley can see the creature digging its claws into Ray’s shoulder. It raises its head and bites into Ray’s neck. When Ashley looks directly at Ray the creature is invisible. (MORE) NARRATOR (CONT'D) Without thinking Ashley grabs a frozen beer bottle and hurls it at the mirrored medicine cabinet door. The frozen bottle cracks the mirror. GLASS BREAKS MONSTER YOWLS DARK CLOUD PUFF RAY GROANS NARRATOR (CONT'D) In the reflection the creature explodes into a cloud of black dust. Ray grabs at his neck. Blood seeps from deep scratches and bite marks. ASHLEY Hang on Ray. I gotta find something

CUT TO: CITY AMBIENCE SPARSE TRAFFIC DOG BARKS DISTANT SIREN NARRATOR Just moments before, across town, in an alley outside the China Blue dance club, a young woman stumbles out to the street.

POLLY WHISPERS POLLY Soul Taker. NARRATOR Three rooms away, Mina lies bleary eyed on an exam bed with and IV in her arm and wires to an EKG. A monitor displays her vital statistics. A nurse checks the saline bag. She shudders and rubs her own shoulders as she exits the room. Mina’s breath begins to frost. The curtains move by an invisible presence. Mina turns her head towards the monitor. Ice crystals form at the edge of the glass screen. Mina’s blurry eyes grow wide. In the reflection a creature climbs on the foot of her bed. Mina looks at her feet but sees nothing. She snaps her gaze back to the monitor’s shiny screen. In the reflection a demon dog creature with horns of a goat, eyes of a snake and teeth like needles crawls towards her. THE BEEPING FROM THE HEART RATE MONITOR QUICKENS AS MINA’S HEART RATE CLIMBS MINA Help. Someone help. NARRATOR Mina attempts to sit up. In the reflection off the monitor screen Mina watches in horror as the creature leaps onto Mina’s chest and rips at her sternum.

ENGINE ROARS TIRES SPIN POLLY NARRATOR Ashley’s red truck dives up and off the curb and into the main road. Polly peers out the window. She watches the reflections of the truck in the windows of the parked cars they pass. She sees nothing unusual and settles back into her seat. ASHLEY I thought we killed it. RAY Could there more than the one? ASHLEY What are those things? POLLY Freddie calls them Soul Takers. They’re the demon’s pets. RAY Like dogs? POLLY Yeah but with wings. RAY How are they getting out? ASHLEY The mirror. NARRATOR Polly’s breath begins to frost in puffs. Like thousands of micro spiders weaving webs ice crystals crawl up the side windows of the truck. POLLY Mom. ASHLEY There’s something I need to do. RAY And what’s that? ASHLEY I don’t think I closed it. The gate. Mom! POLLY NARRATOR Ashley glances in the rearview mirror. The clawed hand of the raccoon sized demon grasps the headrest above Polly’s head. Its horns lift from behind the seat. Its snake eyes leer down at Polly. ASHLEY Polly! NARRATOR Ashley grabs her cell phone and bangs on the rearview mirror. As cracks spread across the reflection, THE DEMON SCREECHES. IT EXPLODES INTO BLACK DUST. NARRATOR (CONT'D) Ashley skids to a halt in front of her house. TIRES SKID CAR DOORS OPEN FEET RUN RAY What are you doing? ASHLEY Closing the gate. RAY How do you know it’s still open? THUNK RAY GRUNTS BODY THUD ASHLEY Where else are they coming from? NARRATOR Ashley reaches for the crowbar that she left next to medicine cabinet door but it’s gone. ASHLEY Where’s the crowbar? POLLY SQUEALS NARRATOR Ashley slowly turns. Billy Hazelbob stands at the foot of the stairs holding Polly by the neck with one hand and in the other hand he holds snub nosed revolver. BILLY She's got to go back in. FOOTSTEPS UP THE STAIRS POLLY SQUEALS No. Wait. ASHLEY BILLY If she goes back in, everything will be back to normal, then we can close the gate. NARRATOR Billy places a hand mirror on the bathroom counter creating endless reflections in the larger bathroom mirror. ASHLEY We can close the gate, but she doesn’t need to go back. BILLY She's got to go back in. She’s been chosen. Look. NARRATOR Behind Billy in the large bathroom mirror, Polly's reflection is sharp and clear but Billy's reflection is thin and blurry. BILLY Things are out of balance. BILLY FORCES POLLY'S HAND TOWARD THE MIRROR BILLY (CONT'D) For one of them to live out here one of us has to die in there. A FIN SWIMS ACROSS THE MIRROR ASHLEY You don’t know that. Let her go. BILLY'S REFLECTION FADES OUT ASHLEY (CONT'D) Look. NARRATOR Billy turns toward the mirror. His eyes are now the only thing visible of his reflection. Suddenly Billy's reflected eyes are replaced with Demon's eyes. A clawed hand whips out of the mirror and digs into Billy's chest. Billy is yanked toward the mirror but he still holds Polly’s arm. The REVOLVER drops and SPINS on the floor. Polly is pulled closer. Ashley dives for the gun. Ashley rolls onto her back and shoots. The bullet plunges into the mirrored jell-O surface with no effect. Ashley fires again with the same results. The overhead light flickers. Ashley raises her aim and pulls the trigger over and over. The overhead light explodes. GLASS TINKLES SILENCE MAIN THEME Polly? ASHLEY ANNOUNCER 13 Reflections.
