INT. EPPING FOREST MENTAL INSTITUTE – DAY

Quinn Wakely is sat in an empty room on her own. Her face is expressionless and she is sat up straight; her clothes are very plain and simple. We can hear lots of faint voices over the top of each other. We then hear footsteps getting closer as a smartly dressed Inspector Hodges and a worried nurse walks into the scene. Quinn does not react as the Inspector attempts to communicate; his voice slightly muffled by the voices of Quinn’s thoughts.

NURSE

She has not spoken since we found her in the forest.

     (Pause)

I’ll leave you to it.

INSPECTOR HODGES

          Thank you, nurse.

Inspector clears his throat and stands slightly uneasily as we hear the nurse’s footsteps vanish out the door. The door slams shut.

INSPECTOR HODGES

Good afternoon, Miss Wakely. I’m wondering if you could answer a few questions for me on the Epping Forest murders. Any information you may give will be used as evidence and a thorough investigation into your statements will occur. Do you accept these terms?

Long pause. Voices are getting gradually faster and louder. Quinn does not move, but her eyes dart around the room. Inspector Hodges eyes follows hers. After a while, the Inspector kneels down in front of Quinn and sighs. He speaks in a pleading, sympathetic voice.

INSPECTOR HODGES

I know its hard – reliving terrible memories. But people are dead and we need to stop the monster behind these attacks. That’s what you want too, isn’t it? You want it to end?

Pause. Quinn’s thoughts get louder and more confusing. Inspector Hodges pulls out a photograph from inside his blazer pocket.

INSPECTOR HODGES

          Do you know this man, Quinn?

At the sound of her name, Quinn’s eyes flicker to look at the photograph. The voices come to a loud but abrupt stop. There is a slight hum of a light bulb in the background. Quinn starts laughing hysterically as the scene around her flickers and blood appears on her face. Next minute she’s sobbing, and then she starts laughing again. The scene halts at the janitor’s closet and the light bulb is on the brink of blowing a fuse. We see the shadow of a figure hanging from the ceiling and then the light bulb explodes.
