NO SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL



by


Chris Ruston






























We open on a BLANK SCREEN

JAKE(V.O)
Have you ever had a dream, you were so
sure was real, that when you woke up, you thought you were still dreaming. Shit man, The dreams I’ve had…

FADE IN

INT. COMMERICAL BUILDING CORRIDOR – DAY

Busy, workers walking back and forth. We see Jake Fitz, a well-built, 25 year old, blonde haired man walking slowly down the corridor towards the elevator.

JAKE(V.O)
You see when I was a kid I had this recurring dream. When I was stuck in an elevator with people I hated. These people changed as my life went on, my parents, my grand daddy, that fat kid who used to beat me up at school.

We see Jake stop and wait outside the elevator for it to open.

JAKE(V.O)
But every time I had this dream, it always ended the same way.

We see the elevator open and Jake walks in.

JAKE(V.O)
The motherfucker fell and we all died. And for all my life I was convinced that was how I was going to meet my tragic end. Fuck man, It happened.

We see the elevator doors shut.

INT. ELEVATOR

Full of cops pointing guns at Jake. We see Jake stand with his hands above his head as two cops pull them behind his back and handcuff them together.

JAKE(V.O)
But at least that fucker was there too.

CU – DETECTIVE RALF COLDSHORE

Well built, 39, bold, African-American. We see Ralf lower his pistol as the two cops handcuff Jake.

DET COLDSHORE
I’ve got you now you son of a bitch.

JAKE(V.O)
At least I took that bastard to hell with me.

ANGLE – ELEVATOR CABLE

We see the cable begin to loosen then quickly snap.

INT. ELEVATOR

Everyone falls to the floor, SHOUTING with fear. We see all the cops are terrified, trying to stand as the elevator falls.

INT. ELEVATOR SHAFT

We see sparks fly as the elevator plummets, out of control, down the shaft.

CU – JAKE

Leaning against the door. We see Jake is unworried and smiling as he stares at Detective Coldshore.

CU – DETECTIVE COLDSHORE

Petrified, he stares back at Jake with his eyes wide open.

JAKE(V.O)
He died in fear… He died in fear.

HA – ELEVATOR SHAFT

We see the elevator fall the last few stories, before it hits the ground and explodes, throwing debris and fire up the shaft.

We FADE to a BLANK SCREEN

JAKE(V.O)
The dreams started when I was about eight or nine. I was a scrawny, weak little bastard, and my parents took full advantage of that.

FADE IN

INT. BEDROOM – NIGHT

Dark, dilapidated room. We see a belt covered in blood repeatedly being whipped over a young boy, back and forth. CAMERA PULLS BACK and we see Jeff Fitz, stumble backwards onto screen.

CU – JEFF FITZ

Fat, 36, long hair, tattoos up both arms. We see Jeff is drunk as he steps back from beating his son. We HEAR the young boy CRYING.

JEFF
Stop fucking crying! You little faggot!

We see Jeff throw down the blood stained belt and stumble out of the room. CAMERA PANS over to the young boy.

MCU – YOUNG BOY

Jake Fitz, aged eight, curled in a ball, half naked. He lays bleeding and bruised with welt marks over his face and body.

JAKE(V.O)
I hated them. I hated them so much. My father a failure at everything he ever tried was always pissed off. He never said what I did wrong or why he was upset. He’d just beat me harder and harder. As for my mother…

MCU – TINA FITZ

32, chubby, manly build, dyed blonde hair. We see her knees are spread and she is pushing somebody’s head down between her legs. She is GROANING in pleasure.

JAKE(V.O)
She was a fucking whore. She hated me, said my only purpose was too give head… I hated both of them.

We see the head lift up and we see it is Jake. We see Tina slap him hard over the head when he stops.

TINA
Don’t you stop Jake, don’t you ever fucking stop.

We see Tina slap him again. Jake CRIES in pain but continues.

INT. JAKES BEDROOM – NIGHT

Dark, holes in the walls, dilapidated. We see Jake, 12, curled up on a mattress on the floor. We see his eyes are wide open. We HEAR Jeff and Tina Fitz having sex in another room.

JAKE(V.O)
At night I was safe. They’d just used to fuck all night long, and I’d be left alone with my thoughts. I used to think about waking up one morning and everyone else in the world had died and I was the only one left. The last man one Earth. I’d never be afraid again.

MCU – JAKE

We see Jake sitting at the end of his mattress holding a long, sharp kitchen knife. We see him study the knife then look at the floor.

POV – JAKE

We see a large, brown rat scurrying around the floor, feeding on whatever it can find in the dilapidated room.

MCU – JAKE

Eyes wide open, staring at the rat. We see Jake lift the knife then pause for a moment before he stabs it down into the rat, killing it. We see Jake lift the knife into frame, which has the rat impaled onto the blade. We see the rat slide off soon after.

JAKE(V.O)
It was in that moment, that I made up my mind. That I wouldn’t take it anymore. You can only push a guy so far, before sooner or later he’ll start pushing back.

MCU – TINA FITZ

We see a large, sharp kitchen knife, THRUSTED down into Tina’s stomach. Blood sprays. CAMERA PULLS BACK and we see Jake, kneeling between his mothers legs, PRESSING the blade further into her flesh.

Do you like that mommy? Do you? Cause not, you want it harder!

We see Jake rip down the blade out of her body, SLICING her stomach and pelvis in two. We see Jake stand up over his dying mother grinning.

We see Tina lay bleeding and coughing up blood. We HEAR her CRY out, but are unable to hear what she says.

JAKE
Bleed you fucking bitch. Bleed forever.

MCU – JAKE

Eyes wide open, covered in Tina’s blood. We see Jake standing over her, watching her die.

JAKE(V.O)
So I just stood there and watched her die. She was coughing up blood and cries for someone to help her. But there was no-one there but me… But soon after daddy came home.

INT. FRONTROOM – NIGHT

Dilapidated. We see Tina lying dead in the armchair and Jake standing over her with the knife still gripped firm in his hand. We HEAR the front door open.

ANGLE – FRONT DOOR

We see Jeff Fitz walk in, drunk. He stumbles in unaware of what has happened.

JEFF
Hey Tina guess who I saw at the bar tonight, that bastard…

JAKE
Hope your proud of me dad.

LS – FRONTROOM

CAMERA PULLS BACK as Jake brutally stabs Jeff to death. We HEAR Jeff SCREAMING in pain until he dies.

JAKE(V.O)
So I killed them both. No remorse. I took all their money and went of on my own. I did okay.

HA – FRONTROOM

We see Jake stand up from Jeff’s corpse then walk over to a chair by the window.

JAKE(V.O)
I wanted to get as far away from Texas as I could, so New York seemed like a smart place to go.

MCU – CHAIR BY WINDOW

We see Jake sit in the chair and look out the window.

CAMERA FADES to an MCU 13 years later of Jake sitting on a bus.

We see Jez push his knees even harder into Jakes seat.

MCU – JAKE

We see Jake take out the same knife he killed his parents with.

We HEAR the two guys laughing LOUDLY at this.

We see Jake briskly stab the back of his seat.

We HEAR the blade thrust into Jez’s kneecap, we see blood drip from the wound. We HEAR Jez SCREAM in agony off – screen.

TS – DAN & JEZ

Jez is in agony, holding his knee, SCREAMING and CRYING. We see Dan stand and smash his palm down on Jakes shoulder.

DAN
What you doing, motherfucker!?

We see Dan pull back Jakes shoulder, getting ready to punch him.

CU – BACK OF JAKES SEAT

The blade then rips out of the back of the seat and Jez’s knee. A small flow of blood spurts out of the hole the knife leaves behind.

ANGLE - DAN

As Dan pulls back Jakes shoulder, Jake swings the knife around and stabs Dan in the base of the neck. Blood sprays. Everyone on the bus SCREAMS hysterically.

EXT. BUS WINDOW

We see a huge gush of blood spray across the window, then the body of Dan falls down the glass, smearing the blood.

ANGLE – BUS DRIVER

Horrified. We see the bus driver slam on the brake bringing the bus to a quick halt.

WS – BUS CARRIAGE

We see about fifteen other passengers on the bus, all shocked, some crying and hysterical. All seem traumatized by what they have seen.

We see Jez CRYING and bleeding in his seat. Weeping with both the pain of his wound and the death of his friend.

We see Jake pull the knife from Dan’s neck then walk slowly into the bus aisle, holding a plastic, grocery bag.

MS – OLD WOMEN

About 60, glasses, white hair. We see she is CRYING and as Jake passes her to get to the front of the bus, she jolts back in terror, looking straight at the floor.

MS – YOUNG MAN

Early 20’s, African - American. We see he is standing up, he is paralysed with fear but still looks Jake in the eyes as he passes.

MS – JAKE

We see Jake turn his head slightly and grin, but walks on to the front of the bus.

ANGLE – FRONT OF BUS

We see the bus driver is completely petrified. Jake slowly walks up to his seat, Jake stabs the knife into the change tray.

CU – BUS DRIVER

We see him CRY OUT in terror then start breathing heavily, in short gasps.

ANGLE – FRONT OF BUS

JAKE
(Calmly) Could you open the doors please?

We see the Bus driver snap at the button, opening the Bus door as fast as possible.

We see Jake nod at the driver, before pulling the blade from the drivers sight and putting it into his pocket.

INT/EXT. STREET

We see Jake casually leave the bus and walk down the street. We HEAR the passengers on the bus CRYING as he leaves.

We see pedestrians on the roads, standing looking at the bus, wondering why the people are so shocked and hysterical.

As Jake walks down the street we see the bus driver get out and talk to a man outside the bus. We see the man chase Jake as Jake calls for a Taxi.

JAKE
(Shouts) Taxi!

We see a Taxi stop shortly after Jake calls, and Jake gets in quickly. We see the Taxi drive off as the man realizes Jake has escaped.

INT. TAXI

Clean, we see the Taxi driver is a Rastafarian, wearing a bright green and red T – shirt.

TAXI DRIVER
So where you headed, man?

JAKE
Victoria Street, you know it?

TAXI DRIVER
I know everywhere in this city.

JAKE
Well in that case don’t go taking me the
Long way home, making me fork out more cash. I hate it when you guys do that.

TAXI DRIVER
Wouldn’t dream of it.

CU – REAR VIEW MIRROR

We see in the mirror that Jake has a few splash’s of Dan’s blood marked up his neck, we see the Taxi driver notice this.

TAXI DRIVER
Hey man, you been in a fight or something? You got some blood on your neck here.

MCU - JAKE

We see Jake wipe away some of the blood and look at it staining his fingers.

JAKE
Yeah, I just got off work, I’m a butcher.

TAXI DRIVER
No shit… My brother’s a butcher.

JAKE
Well fancy that.

ANGLE – FRONT OF TAXI

We HEAR the radio in the taxi begin the News update. We see the Taxi driver is obviously interested in this and turns up the volume.

TAXI DRIVER
Hey man, listen to this. I’ve been listening to this shit all morning.

We HEAR the presenter on the radio give her report.

RADIO PRESENTER (V.O)
LNB(live news broadcast)…The FBI has asked for all citizens of Brooklyn to contact police officials if they have any information on the whereabouts of sixteen year old, Susan Ormand, daughter of senator John Ormand. Susan was abducted from outside her high school, late yesterday afternoon…

TAXI DRIVER
Jesus Christ, that’s fucked up, man.

RADIO PRESENTER (V.O)
…Detective Ralf Coldshore of the FBI made the following statement this morning…

DETECTIVE COLDSHORE (V.O)
We have some of the finest agents in the state working on this case. We are confident that we will apprehend Susan’s kidnapper, and our sources lead us to believe that the criminal resides in Brooklyn. So if anyone in the Brooklyn area knows anything at all in
Relevance to this case to contact the NYPD Immediately, thank you.

RADIO PRESENTER (V.O)
Although eye witness statements differ on the appearance of Susan’s kidnapper, the police described him, as a tall, white, male, mid to early twenties…

We see the Taxi driver is getting angered by the radio report.

TAXI DRIVER
Man, they should cut this guys balls off and throw them down the fucking toilet.

JAKE
Yeah, I guess your right.

TAXI DRIVER
No need to guess, man. This guy is a piece of filth, he is the worst scum that there is.

RADIO PRESENTER (V.O)
…Susan’s parents Senator John Ormand and his wife Wendy revealed the following statement earlier today…

SENATOR JOHN ORMAND (V.O)
…We want to thank the FBI for all their help and support over the last two days… we hope and pray… that they will return are Susie to us unharmed and safe, very soon.

INTERVIEWER (V.O)
What would you like to say to Susan’s kidnapper if he can hear this right now.

WENDY ORMAND (V.O)
(Starting to weep) Please… Please give us back are baby… she has a family that love her very much… We will pay you any ransom that you ask, just please… don’t hurt my daughter…

RADIO PRESENTER (V.O)
…The FBI also added that…

We see the Taxi Driver turn down the radio as they approach Victoria Street.

TAXI DRIVER
Your heart goes out to them don’t it.

Jake seems uninterested.

JAKE
Yeah.

TAXI DRIVER
It certainly does. Almost here, man. How
come you took a cab anyhow? Its only a
Five minute walk to Victoria Street.

JAKE

We see the cab come to a quick stop on the corner of Victoria Street.

INT. TAXI CAB

TAXI DRIVER (CON’T)
…You owe me a dollar seventy-five.

We see Jake take out the money from his coat pocket.

Well at least you didn’t fuck me out of
more cash.

TAXI DRIVER
To Victoria Street? I didn’t have the chance.

The Taxi Driver starts LAUGHING as Jake leaves the cab.

EXT. VICTORIA STREET

Downtown Brooklyn. We see the Taxi, drive off as Jake walks into a nearby apartment block, passing a group of young kids playing baseball in the street.

INT. APARTMENT BLOCK

Quite rundown. We follow Jake as he walks through the hallway up the stairs to his apartment.

We see he passes one of his neighbours, a fat Mexican women, who greets Jake with a smile.

MEXICAN WOMEN
Good morning Jake.

JAKE
Morning.

She knocks Jakes plastic shopping bag as he walks past him.

HA – STAIRS OUTSIDE JAKES APARTMENT

As Jake gets to the top of the stairs we HEAR Jakes land lord, Ian, SHOUT up the stairs at him.

IAN (O.S)
Hey Fitz, ya dumb bastard, can you hear me?

We see Jake stop and walk over to the banister.

JAKE
I can hear you Ian, what do you want?

IAN (O.S)
What the fuck do you think I want! Your two weeks behind Fitz, If you don’t have my four hundred bucks by tomorrow, I’m throwing you out on your ass. Hear me?

JAKE
Yeah, I hear ya. Don’t worry I’ll have the money, no need to get upset.

IAN (O.S)
(SHOUTS) I’m not getting upset, I’m getting fucking pissed off with little shits like you thinking you can pay me whenever the fuck you want! It’s tomorrow or your homeless.

We see Jake walk towards his apartment.

JAKE
Asshole.

Jake switches hands with the shopping to get his key from his pocket. He opens the door.

INT. JAKES APARTMENT

Dank, untidy, we HEAR a CD player in one of the rooms. We follow Jake through his apartment to the kitchen, where he puts down the shopping bag.

As Jake walks through the apartment, we HEAR that the song on the CD player is ‘FUCK THE USA’ by THE EXPLOITED.

We see Jake open the door from the kitchen to the front room.

INT. FRONT ROOM

Untidy, pornographic photos and posters of punk bands on the walls. We see tied up on a chair in the corner of the room, is Susan Ormand the Senators daughter.

CU – SUSAN ORMAND

16, long blonde hair, trim figure, attractive. Her mouth has been gagged, and she is tied to the chair by thick rope. We see she is very frightened at the sight of Jake walking into the room.

Jake seems relaxed around Susan and doesn’t seem to display any authority over her.

We see Jake walk over to her and take off her gag, then immediately cover her mouth with his hand to prevent her SCREAMING.

JAKE
Shhh… I’ve just been out and bought you some breakfast… Now when I take my hand away… Please don’t scream.

Jake takes his hand away and Susan doesn’t scream she just stares at him, BREATHING HEAVILY, with fear.

SUSAN
Please Mr. I don’t know who you are, but my parents will pay you whatever you want, my daddy he’s a senator.

JAKE
I know.

SUSAN
Please don’t rape me…(Starts to cry) I couldn’t take it. I…

We see Jake go over to comfort Susan.

JAKE
Shhh… Look I’m not gonna rape you, I don’t even want to hurt you. I just want your daddy’s money.

SUSAN
He’ll pay you Mr, honest he will.

We see Jake get up and walk to the kitchen.

HA - KITCHEN

JAKE
You better be right for your sake.

We see Jake take a carton of milk out of the fridge, then takeout two cereal boxes from the shopping bag.

JAKE
Do you want Corn Flakes or Frosties?

SUSAN (O.S)
(Hesitates) Corn Flakes

We see Jake prepare the cereal then take out a spoon from a draw and pick up the sugar.

JAKE
Do you want sugar?

SUSAN (O.S)
Yes, lots.

We see Jake sprinkle lots of sugar on the cereal; Jake then picks up the bowl and carries it to Susan.

LA – FRONT ROOM

We see Jake pick up a stall and place it next to Susan. He begins to spoon feed her mouthfuls of cereal as he talks.

JAKE
I realize your afraid, and for that I’m sorry. But if you don’t make a sound and your daddy pays up, then nothing at all will happen to you.

SUSAN
(Very Scared) Please don’t hurt me.

JAKE
What did I just say. You’ll be fine. In
about half an hour I’m going to call your home, I’m going to make my demand. I’ll arrange to meet your daddy with the money about a half mile from here. If I get my money you will go home. Simple.

SUSAN
How much are you going to ask for?

JAKE
I wouldn’t worry about that. I’d worry about the possibility of your mommy and daddy, contacting the FBI.

SUSAN
What?

JAKE
The FBI would advise your parents not to pay me. They would advise them too meet me, then fuck me over. Snipers would take me out, maybe a bomb in the money bag, who knows. All I know is if anything at all happens to me, then sorry baby, you’re the first one I kill.

We HEAR Susan SCREAM in terror at the sound of this.

We see Jake quickly cover her mouth with his hand.

JAKE
You listen to me daddy’s girl, I’ve got a lot of fucking patience but my patience is running pretty god damn thin. I promise you if you make
another noise, I will send your parents your head in a fucking box. You believe me?

We see Susan nod her head, frantically.

JAKE
You damn well better.

Jake takes his hand from Susan’s mouth, she begins to tremble with fear, staring at Jake, with eyes full of panic.

INT. ORMAND RESIDANCE – DAY

Large house, expensive paintings and sculptures. We see John and Wendy Ormand embraced with each other, trying to comfort one another.

CAMERA PULLS BACK and we see in the rest of the large room is about ten or twelve FBI agents, all talking on phones and investigating on laptops.

We see Detective Ralf Coldshore talking to another FBI agent, Detective Oscar Mitchell, walking over towards Mr and Mrs Ormand as they talk.

DET MITCHELL
…The police chief said that Becky Tudor’s eyewitness statement was inaccurate with the other girls…

DET COLDSHORE
I don’t give a shit what that fat asshole said, He obviously doesn’t know that Becky Tudor was the nearest person too Susan when she was abducted, what she says matters more than the others. I want that statement in my hand, now.

We see the agent walk off – screen to retrieve the statement.

We see Detective Coldshore walk over to inform and comfort Mr and Mrs Ormand.

WENDY ORMAND
(Upset) What have you heard detective, where’s my baby?

DET COLDSHORE
We’re doing all we can Mrs Ormand, a man was killed this morning and his friend was brutally stabbed through the knee. The killer left the scene, but artist impressions of the eyewitness testimonies, match him to the descriptions of Susan’s kidnapper.

JOHN ORMAND
So we know what the bastard looks like?

DET COLDSHORE
We have a good idea now.

We see the Agent hand Detective Coldshore the eyewitness statement.

DET COLDSHORE (CON’T)
Eyewitness accounts of the kidnapping of Susan and the killing of this morning, match almost perfectly as you can see.

OTS – DETECTIVE COLSHORE

We see over Detective Coldshores shoulder, that he is holding two documents with an artists impression of a man on both sheets. The man looks identical on each sheet.

DET COLDSHORE
He appears to be a white male, mid to early twenties, with short blonde hair and a strong build. His name is a Jake Patrick Fitz, originally from Texas, moved up to Brooklyn when he was still a minor. He moved around Brooklyn for years after, sixteen or seventeen separate apartments. The Texa’s state department informed us that he… he killed his parents with a butcher knife at the age of 12.

We see Wendy Ormand start to CRY then turn into her husband.

WENDY ORMAND
Oh god John… this man has our daughter.

JOHN ORMAND
Its okay honey… It’s going to be okay…
(To Coldshore)What’s your plan Mr Coldshore?

DET COLDSHORE
Well, we know that he can’t leave Brooklyn. This artist impression is all over the news, if he tries to move, he’ll be spotted. We have to question the witnesses on and off the bus, at the murder this morning. He was apparently
reported to have fled the scene immediately and get into a cab. We need to find that cab driver. Excuse me a minute.

We see Detective Coldshore walk away from the crying couple, he walks over to one of the agents sitting on the large table.

INT. PHONEBOOTH – AFTERNOON

Dirty. We see a young mans hand pick up the pay phone and began to dial a number.

INT. ORMAND RESIDANCE

We see one of the agents, working on a laptop. Next to him is a phone, it starts to RING.

We see the front door open, CAMERA PULLS BACK and we see a MAILMAN standing at the door holding a small package.

MAILMAN
Hey, I got a package.

We see Mitchell look at the package cautiously then take out his identification.

DET MITCHELL
FBI, put the box on the floor and move away.

We see the Mailman put the package on the floor.

MAILMAN
I don’t think there’s a bomb in it…

DET MITCHELL
(SHOUTS) Move away!

We see the mailman move away, then Mitchell looks back at Detective Coldshore.

AGENT
Do I open it?

CU – DETECTIVE COLDSHORE

Studying the package.

DET COLDSHORE
I’ll open it.

We see Coldshore stand and kneel down next to the package.

Please stay calm Mrs Ormand.

We see Coldshore slowly open the package. A look of complete horror fills his face.

LA – ABOVE PACKAGE

We see Detective Coldshore put his head in his hands, distort, overwhelmed with sadness.

We see behind him, Mr and Mrs Ormand see the contents of the package. Wendy Ormand flies into a HYSTERICAL FIT, absolutely distort. John Ormand starts to CRY but tries to hold onto his grieving wife.

Mrs Ormand face wells up with tears, she starts bagging on her husbands chest with her fists in frustrating and total helpless grieving.

As she hits her fists against Senator Ormands shoulders, she is continuously and painfully SCREAMING ‘No!’

ANGLE – DETECTIVE COLDSHORE

Although he has his hands over his face, we see that Detective Coldshore starts to cry.

HA – LARGE TABLE

We see an agent pick up the phone and dial a number. We HEAR the SCREAMING CRIES of the grieving parents.

ANGLE - DETECTIVE COLDSHORE

We see Detective Coldshore wipe the tears from his eyes. He then clenches his fist and his expression fills with anger.

MCU - AGENT

He then abducted Howard Masons son, Joseph, they stole a young couples car and left the scene immediately, no one even got a license plate number.

DET COLDSHORE
The motherfucker could be all the way to New Jersey by now.

And… as Im sure your all aware… she was murdered early today… the time of death is unknown. We (Hesitates) learned of her death at approximately 1400 hours this afternoon. And then, no more than half an hour later, he committed his third murder, a Mister Howard Mason. According to reports the two got involved in a drunken fight that got out of hand. Mr Mason was stabbed then shot through the head.

Stop struggling, this is a routine search. Now hold up your arms and part your legs.

We see the man, begrudgingly, complies with the officer. The cop pads down his arms and legs, searching for weapons.

We see the other, having searched the car lean over to the other officer.

MCU - JAKE

JAKE

We see Jake start to rub the anxiety out of his temples. He then loses it for a minute and starts hitting the steering wheel, and then he calms down.

CAMERA PANS DOWN to Jakes waist and we see he takes out his 9mm Berretta from his trousers and rests it against his legs, out of sight from Joey.
