INT. LOLA’S ROOM.
NIGHT.
LOLA ENTERS AND WALKS
OVER TO HER DESK TO START WITH HER STUDIES. SILENCE IS BROKEN BY THE SOUND OF A
PHONE WHICH LOLA REACHES OVER TO GET AND ANSWERS.
LOLA
Hi Dad, how is New
York?
(Waits several
moments)
Ah good! Well I was
just doing some revision for the business exam tomorrow but I’m going to head
off to bed.
(Waits several
moments)
Ok well I’ll speak to
you tomorrow. (Smiles before saying)Miss you Daddy. I love you.
GOES OVER TO BED AND
GETS IN BEFORE TURNING THE BED LIGHT OUT. CLOSES EYES AND GOES TO SLEEP.
INT. LOLA’S
HALLWAY. NIGHT.
LUCA PULLS THE DOOR
OPEN AND STOPS TO STAND AND PEERS UP THE STAIRS. LUCA BEGINS TO WALK THE STAIRS
QUIETLY. LUCA WAITS OUTSIDE THE DOOR BEFORE GENTLY PULLING THE HANDLE DOWN.
INT. LOLA’S ROOM. NIGHT.
LUCA ENTERS THE ROOM
AND WONDERS OVER TO LOLA’S BED. WAITS A MOMENT THEN PLACES THE RAG OVER HER
FACE.
LOLA’S EYES SHOOT
OPEN AND FEAR STRIKES HER BEFORE SHE DAZES INTO A DEEP SLEEP.
INT. WAREHOUSE. NIGHT.
LOLA’S EYES OPEN AND
SHE REALISES SHE’S ALONE. AGAIN FEAR RETURNS AND SHE REALISES SHE IS RESTRAINED
AND HER MOUTH IS COVERED WITH TAPE. LOLA BEGINS SQUINTING AS A HUGE SPOTLIGHT IS
PLACED IN FRONT OF HER. LOLA FRANTICALLY LOOKS AROUND HER SURROUNDINGS.
LUCA ENTERS THE
WAREHOUSE AND LOLA IMMEDIATLEY LOOKS OVER. LUCA LAUGHS AS HE SEES THE FEAR IN
LOLA’S EYES.
LUCA
Hi Lola. Hope you’re
not too cold (laughs) oh and sorry to wake you!
LUCA LEANS IN TOWARDS
LOLA’S FACE AS SHE TRIES TO MOVE AWAY. LUCA LAUGHS.
LUCA PULLS THE TAPE
OF LOLA’S MOUTH
LUCA (AGGRESSIVE
TONES)
There’s no point in
screaming… no one will hear you now!
LUCA WALKS AWAY AND
SITS AT HIS DESK.
LOLA (SOBS)
Why are you doing
this to me?
LUCA
Because your father
is a lying cheating…
LOLA (INTERUPTS ANRGY
BUT STILL UPSET)
[SHOUTING] MY FATHER
IS NONE OF THOSE THINGS! HOW DARE…
LUCA LAUGHS AND LOLA
STOPS TALKING
LUCA (PATRONISING
TONES)
Little Lola you have
no idea what your father has done….
WAITS SEVERAL MOMENTS
BEFORE TALKING
Before you were born,
your father made a deal with a very wealthy man who offered him freedom from
his trouble in the hope your father would return the favour. You could maybe
call this a deal with the devil. However the stupid man fled and Vincent has
been hunting him down ever since. I wasn’t intending to kidnap you, I was
hoping to see your father but if that isn’t going to happen then you’re his
only way out.
LUCA STANDS AS IF TO
LEAVE
LOLA (FRIEGHTENED)
What will happen to
me now?
LUCA IS STOOD NEAR
THE DOOR, LUCA SMILES THEN REPLIES
LUCA
If your father was the
man you thought he was, he’d listen to us and return to England to receive his
punishment, or else your father will never see you again.
LUCA BENDS DOWN IN
FRONT OF LOLA AND PEERS UP AT HER FACE
LUCA
Maybe your father is
the loyal devoting father he’s painted himself to be.
LUCA CONTEMPLATES HIS
LAST THOUGHT
LUCA
Or maybe he’s the
person we think he is, the person who runs and never looks back until the past
becomes his present and future.
(SHOUTS)
Leaves his daughter
to sit in this cold warehouse not knowing whether I’ll rip her throat out or
worse she’ll be subject to torture until you tell us where he is.
LUCA STANDS TO CIRCLE
LOLA. LUCA CIRCLES LOLA. LUCA TURNS AND WALKS
TOWARDS THE DOOR.
LOLA BECOMES FRANTIC
LOLA
[SHOUTS] I WILL NEVER
TELL YOU WHERE HE IS
LUCA
So then you’re no
good dead or alive, shall I kill you now?
LOLA STARTS TO PANIC
LOLA
No please, please
don’t. He’ll return and you can sort things out with him but please just let me
go…
LOLA TRAILS OFF
LUCA RAISES AN
EYEBROW
LOLA
I won’t tell anyone.
I promise I won’t. I’ll call my Dad and tell him to come home, please just let
me go.
LOLA LOOKS ON IN HOPE
LUCA LOOKS AS THOUGH
HE CONTEMPLATES THE THOUGHT BEFORE SMIRKING
LUCA
Oh little Lola, how
you do humour me.
LOLA LOOKS DOWN
LUCA
[SHOUTS] UNTIL YOUR
FATHER RETURNS YOU’LL STAY RIGHT THERE
LOLA JUMPS BEFORE THE
DOOR SLAMS AND SHE’S LEFT ALONE
