Previously on Haven/Haven
Rewrite: Sam, The Good Shepard’s new Reverend, who is trying to unite all
of Haven in community, has slept with Duke. Sam’s admitted that she loves him
and Duke can’t seem to get her out of his head. But she’s made Duke aware they
if she’s going to go out with him he’ll need some heavy re-conditioning, such
as attending Bible study. Audrey, Dwight, and Nathan have discovered that a
group of at least three people are making the troubles worse, killing people
and taking their hearts.
Teaser
Audrey, Nathan, Dwight, and James talk in the police
station, reviewing what they know about the fan symbol murders, a symbol of a
fan is left on each of the bodies, there is three people killing as evident by
the three different heart murders, during the time of a trouble where hearts
were remove so the killer had to know something about that trouble. And the
victims have no connections to each other- even Dave and Vince hasn’t found a
connection. They write out a timeline starting with Shelby, who was the first
fan victim.
In a room filled with smoke a hand holds a syringe taking
blood from the back of a woman with dark hair, in the center of a four person
tattoo. A skirt is pulled up and a four person tattoo flashes onto the lower
thigh of a woman. Another hand sticks a syringe into the center of the tattoo
filling a vial with blood.
On a Rainy night outside a movie theater someone in a hooded
poncho is attacked by another hooded figure. There’s a fight and the person in
the poncho wins as the attacker scampers off. Behind this person there’s a gray
figure, his head bobs back and forth up and down so fast it’s a blur and he
shrieks like he’s a demon.
Act I
Sunday morning, Duke, dressed up shows up at the Good
Shepard Church. The service is full of guard and non-guard members. It’s so
full Duke has to stand as he hears Sam preaching. He enters as she says;
“Recently I had to confess to my confessor. I am not perfect. I too sin.” She
looks up and sees Duke in the crowd and stares glad he’s there. Others stare at
him. She continues, “We are growing as Christians and some of us are seedlings
and some have leaves, others have already produced fruit. It is not our duty to
determine who is not suited for the Kingdom of God, God speaks of his harvest
which he will reap in Matthew 13 verses 18-30. It is his job to separate the
wheat from the thorns otherwise we may pull up some wheat as we try to get the
thorns out ourselves. Everyone has probably been in a group experience where
they disapproved with how things were being done some…” Duke stands listening.
On the edge of the forest Audrey and Nathan come up to a
crime scene. A hole has been dug and police tape surrounds the area. Audrey
says, “What’s up? You pulled us out of Church.” He tells them that the man has
the fan mark like the others. Audrey and Nathan go down to the body. The corner
asks about the church service. Audrey says they’re really good. The coroner
doesn’t like the idea of church. Audrey says, “Not religious?” “No, too many
people.” Audrey nods and chuckles. Cause of death is still a mystery, but the
coroner is guessing it’s in the brain since blood is dripping from his eyes.
Audrey wonders out loud, “What are they up to?” Nathan says, “Nothing good.”
After Church outside as the last people leave, Sam turns to
Duke who waits. “It’s nice of you to come.” She says. Duke steps up to her,
“Well, Christianity has a lot of similarities with Buddhism and I tried that
for a while. I really liked your speech.” She nods saying, “Thank you. We overeducated call it a sermon.” Duke gives
her an inquisitive look. “It’s supposed to be a lesson.” She informs him. “Well
I learned a lot. I like how you ended with a focus on encouraging those who are
seedlings and really caring for each other through the power of the Spirit. I
really felt empowered then. I think you may be onto something here. When is the
next Bible study?” Duke asks. She turns to him, “Duke, you didn’t come here for
the sermon.” “No, I did” She gives him a look, “Okay I came for you but now I’m
really interested. Really.” She hands Duke a small piece of paper, “the Bible
studies are listed.” She says. Duke says, “Great, thank you.” He starts to walk
away, as he does she calls to him, “Duke,” He turns to her, “You free for
lunch.” Duke smiles, “I am.”
TWO MONTHS LATER
Duke and Sam walk in front of the church as they have
coffee. “I like our morning coffee,” Duke says, “It’s a little early for me but
I get a good start on the day.” He’s not convincing. Sam turns to him with a
slight attitude says, “It’s once a week Duke, the Gull is closed the night
before.” Duke nods, “Yeah, but it’s still early. I like them though I really
do.” Sam steps closer to him, “Maybe we should go out on a real date.” He looks
down at his coffee, “And what would happen on a real date if we can’t…” She
smiles, “Eating, talking. Asking how the other’s day was.” He nods. “And then
dropping you off with a goodnight kiss.” “Or me driving my own car home.” Sam
says. “Sounds like a first date that didn’t go well.” Duke comments. “I’ll kiss
you at the door of the restaurant.” She leans into him and kisses him deeply.
“Okay” he relents, “the Gull, Thursday.” “What about Friday?” She asks. “I’m
going out of town for a couple days leaving Friday.”, “Thursday then.” She
gives him another deep goodbye kiss. “Reverend Lewis.” An older woman who
stands and watches them chides Sam and glares. Sam and Duke break the kiss, Sam
leans her forehead against Duke’s chest and utters “sorry”. The women yells,
“Get in here, right now.” Duke whispers, “Into the Lions Den.” She nods and goes
inside.
Inside, a group of people wait for her, people who are
dressed in Sunday best. They are very polite asking her when she’s going to
talk to Duke. She sits at her desk and asks, “Talk to Duke?” An older man says,
“About killing people for us.” Sam looks at then attentively, a young man
stands up eager, “Troubled people to end their family’s trouble. Kill the man
kill the trouble.” He says like it’s a lyric to some catchy tune. “That’s why
you’re dating him?” says the older woman who was watching her in front of the
church. “Yes.” Sam says nodding, “I will talk to him…in my own time.” The older
man stands, “Well don’t take too much time.” A middle aged woman nods as she
picks up her purse to leave she turns to Sam “I have to say, dating him was a brilliant
way to get him to work with us. He can’t avoid those women you know.” The woman
says. Sam nods. The people leave Sam picks up the phone.
At the high school the bell rings, students rush out of a
classroom as the young male teacher reminds them their reports about the dreams
for their future are due next week. The students run out of class a short boy
is teased by some jocks, “Move out of the way Stuart.” The student drops his
binders and papers on the floor. He stays back to pick them up. The teacher
turns to the student and helps him, “Mike, are you okay?” He asks. The student
says, “Yeah.” The teacher hands him the papers he picked up. “Why do they call
you Stuart?” “Because I’m little.” The teacher nods, “Stand up for yourself.”
“Nah, it’s just easier not to, but thanks for noticing most teachers just
ignore it.” The teacher looks sad, “You’re welcome Mike.” Mike walks into the
hall and the teacher watches him. The hall is busy, someone bumps into the
teacher and he ignores it as he watches Mike. The two jocks come up to Mike and
tease him. The teacher jumps about to intervene but Mike tells them to stop it.
“What are you going to do?” A jock says. Suddenly in a blur a man, in a mas and
a yellow spandex suit with a cape comes from out of nowhere and grabs a jocks
arm as he’s going to push Mike, “No pushing. Bullies never prosper.” He says
and everyone is shocked. “I hope I don’t have to come back here.” The masked
man says and disappears in a blur. Everyone is stunned.
Act II
Audrey and Nathan show up at the School, they have just
finished taking statements. They trade notes, everyone has said the same thing.
A masked man came in and stopped the bullying. They know it’s a trouble but
Nathan comments, “this might be one we may not want to stop”. The question
Audrey is concerned about is, if someone is dressing up as a hero and using
their trouble they could get hurt or worse hurt someone else. “So” Nathan says
annoyed, “what will we do when we find him? Put him in jail for stopping a
bully without hurting him. He hasn’t done anything criminal yet.” Audrey says,
“Yet being the operative word. He’s showing signs of vigilantism which is
criminal. Nathan, I know you like the idea of there being someone to stop the
bullying but-” “I just don’t want to punish someone for doing the right thing
for once.” “We’re not going to punish him, but we can talk to him. At this
point I think all we can do is wait, see if he shows up again and depending on
what he does we’ll figure it out.”
Thursday night Sam shows up at the Gull, Duke has a private
table waiting for them with a meal all set up outside. She tells him he didn’t
need to go all out. He wanted to. He pulls out her chair and once they’re
seated her phone rings, she looks at it and apologizes, “I’ll put it away.” She
says as she does and tells him, “It’s the wedding planning. It’s driving me
crazy.” Seeing him look at her eyes bulging out of his head she puts both her
hands on the table, “Duke, I’m a Reverend I’m marrying other people.” He
swallows the wine in his mouth and nods then realizes he messed up, “This is
not a good start is it.” She shakes her head, “No,” she takes a swing of wine,
“But while things are awkward I might as well mention, I heard about your
trouble.” He breaths deeply saying, “I was going to tell you.” She smiles,
“Duke, you don’t have to tell me
anything.” He looks at her curiously, “Now if we were getting married you
would…” He chuckles and she continues, “But I don’t want you to feel like you
have to keep things from me like you have any reason to be ashamed. I know it
must be hard living with that constant choice kill or watch others possibly
die. And I know no matter what choice you’ve made in the past or make in the
future I can’t judge you.” He looks at her with great admiration, “You are a
remarkable woman.” Sam continues, “I am a little biased…I talked to my dad
after I found out and…my parents left Haven right after my dad’s trouble
disappeared, right after his grandfather was murdered.” Duke sighs, “My
Father.” She nods and puts her hand on his, “I just want you to know, you don’t
have to keep secrets from me.” Duke looks into her eyes and takes her hands. He
takes a deep breath and says, “I’ve killed.” She listens intently without
judgment, “The first person I killed was an accident I’d just found out the
family secret and there was a trouble…”
That night Nathan sits on Audrey’s couch as she sits by him
asleep. He looks over some paperwork,
evidence from the fan murders spread out around them. Her eyes darting back and
forth underneath her eyelids indicate she’s dreaming. She starts to shake her
head back and forth terrified, Nathan shoves the paperwork aside and takes hold
of her. Awake she hugs him. “You’re alright.” He says like this is old hat for
them. “I feel asleep. Why didn’t you wake me?” “You haven’t been sleeping well
Audrey, I don’t like these nightmares.” “I don’t either but I can’t do anything
about them.” Audrey looks down, “I don’t want to have this fight again. Let’s
just look back at the case.” Audrey pulls away from him and they look back down
at the evidence. They talk about the case in addition to the man’s body,
there’s two others that have shown up in the last month and that’s just the
ones they know about. All of them have the symbol of the fan etched into their
skin. He wants to take the night off but she feels it’s important because she
remembers the symbol from a previous life. Upset she sits on the chair hugging
her legs like a scared little girl and wonders if she’s somehow responsible for
all this. Maybe that’s the something bad, maybe that’s why she shouldn’t have
stayed so long, why she had to go into the barn. Nathan won’t let her think
this he denies it flat out, it’s not her. It’s not who she is. As he hugs her
there’s a noise outside. Nathan says he’ll check it out and looks outside. When
Nathan doesn’t come back Audrey grabs her gun and goes down to see where he’s
gone.
At the bar Audrey sees there’s a stuffed Black Teddy Bear
dancing around all happy. He dances around with the yellow spandex man. Nathan
dances around too. Audrey stares. Then a cowboy comes in and holds up his gun,
aiming it at a large man, “You’re a bad man and you need to get out of town.”
He says. Audrey holds up her gun, “put down the gun.” She demands. “Dance”, the
Black Teddy Bear says dancing on the bar. People laugh. Dave at the bar scoots
over to Audrey, “I swear I’ve seen that cowboy before.” Vince stands, “There’s
bandits over the hills.” He says to the cowboy and the cowboy turns to him,
“Where?” has asks, “Over the hills out yonder.” The cowboy runs out front.
Audrey watches the whole thing speechless she runs out after the cowboy and he
disappears. Nathan follows her. They both look to each other and say, “what was
that?”
ACT III
Inside the Gull, Audrey turns to Vince and Dave who are
bickering saying, “No it was Far out West.” And “You’re wrong is was ‘The Other
Side of the River’.” Audrey asks what just happened. Dave and Vince explain
that the cowboy is from a movie, though they can’t agree on which one. Nathan
points to the Black Bear still dancing on the bar, “I swear I’ve seen that bear
before.” A teenager says, that yellow guy’s from the driver’s Ed movie.” And
Audrey says, “they’re all from the movies”. Then Nathan figures it out, “The
Bear was in Play Time with Black Bear Mombo.” Audrey, Vince, and Dave stare at
Nathan and Audrey says, “How do you know that?” Nathan says, “What I, watch
little Benjamin sometimes for Beati.” Audrey then puts the pieces together if
the hero (the yellow guy), the Black Teddy Bear and the cowboy are all from the
movies, the hero’s not the troubled person someone else is doing this. But it
could be anyone and not everything that came out of the movies was friendly.
Outside at the private table Duke and Sam are sitting at
dinner, their plates empty, “The guy who was farming his children’s body parts
had set off the trouble in all his family members so they’d need replacements
too and…I didn’t want to do it but I knew I could save them. Those two are the
only two people I’ve killed.” Sam looks at him with compassion. She places her
hand over his she says, “It was a hard choice to make.” He nods and as she
pulls her hand off his taking a sip of water he says, “Wow.” like a burden’s
been lifted. He looks at his watch, “I can’t believe I’ve been talking all
night.” He looks up to her, “What about you, any secrets?” She turns to him, “I
secretly want to strangle this couple I’m marrying.” He gives her attitude,
“real secrets?” She scoffs, “I mean it. Sometimes I really hate the world and
everyone in it. I know I appear all loving all the time but they can get on my
nerves.” Duke nods, “Yeah, sometimes I hate people too.” She shakes her head,
“No you don’t. You pretend to hate everyone but secretly you care.” He looks at
her not buying it. “When we were freed from our inhibitions, you’re the one who
wanted to make sure Vernon was alright after I’d kicked him in the face.” Duke points out in her defense, “he
did tie you to a chair all night.” She smiles, “We’re like yin and yang you and
I, each have a little bit of what the other has a lot.” He nods, she leans into
the table, “Oh, if any of my parishioners come to you about killing for them, I
told them I’d talk to you, they kind of thought that’s why I was dating you.
Saying yes and sure was just easier.” He gives her a look like he doesn’t fully
understand but he nods, “Okay.” She stands up from the table, “I think I should
go.” He stands up, “I’ll walk you to your car.” She says, “No, I’m good.” And
kisses him deeply. He wraps his arms around her and kisses her deeply. She
pulls away and she says, “Now I’m good.” He stands dazed smiling at her as she
wishes he’s safe on his trip. She then walks away.
Later that night James walks over to the forest by a line of
houses. He talks to Dwight on the walkie. He called him in because the paranoid
little old Mrs. O’Riley was talking about teens lighting fires in the forest
and he wants him to check it out. James sees a group of people wearing robes
around a fire and says, “It doesn’t look like teens but some witch circle from
a movie.” Dwight calls him back saying that Nathan and Audrey have stumbled
onto a movie trouble, just come back. James does as he’s told.
The next day James comes to the Newspaper Audrey and Nathan
agreed to help look for his mother again. Vince and Dave tell him they’re out
on a case but they show him a picture of the Colorado kid murder thinking he
might be interested in solving a cold one, “where do you start?” they ask him,
“with the victim.” He says. Vince and Dave say everyone called him the
“Colorado kid, no one knew his name.” James takes interest.
Sam wakes up in the blouse and skirt she wore the night
before she stumbles into the bathroom, winces as she pulls down her blouse,
underneath it is a spiral symbol etched into her skin, blood peeking through.
She puts her hand on it wincing, wondering how she’s going to cover it. She
feels her back and lifting her blouse she sees scratch marks. She pulls some
disinfectant and bandages from the bathroom cabinet and looks at the spiral on
her front again.
At the school Audrey and Nathan talk to the students again.
Audrey has a theory the kid who was bullied could be the one doing this.
Nathan’s skeptical, a kid at a bar on a Thursday night. Audrey points out it’s
also a restaurant and that wouldn’t be the strangest things for a teenager even
if it was a bar. But the kid wasn’t there, he had a paper to write. He was at
home. She thinks they can see who was at the bar and the school but Nathan
points out half the teachers were there. “But which of them cares about the
kid”, Audrey says going back to talk to them.
As James searches information about the Colorado kid murder,
Audrey and Nathan talk to teachers asking questions like have you ever seen
“Play Time with Black Bear Mambo?” and “What do you think about Mike…Mike
Stevenson, he’s in your class.” It’s really depressing when the teachers don’t
even know who he is.
Suddenly as Nathan and Audrey question the students, objects
from sets start to appear in the school; a fighter plane appears in the gym, a
witch on a flying broomstick flies down the hall, candles from a ceremony
appears in a circle in the quad.
James and Dwight notice objects are appearing in town as
well, a spaceship wizzes by as a pumpkin patch appears on main-street, where
zombies begin to roam. There’s also a flock of birds, crows.
And As Audrey and Nathan go outside to see the birds they
see a giant spaceship.
Act IV
In the school Audrey and Nathan look at a map of Haven and
trace out when the episodes occurred. They figure the person responsible had to
be in the vicinity of each of them. Dwight’s gotten reports of incidents all
over town. A talking Unicorn appeared on Green Street.
Duke even notices an old pirate ship appear in the bay as he
takes off in his boat.
Sam, wearing a high collared blouse notices a Virgin Mary,
with a child in a manger in front of the church.
Dwight informs Audrey and Nathan that the incidents ended at
Juniper Street there’s a cluster of events near 1420, which is Mr. Edmunds
house. The English teacher who was upset that Mike was getting bullied. Audrey
and Nathan head to Mr. Edmunds house.
When Audrey and Nathan enter Mr. Edmund’s house animals are
all around mixed with hippies, a scientist, and some kind of hero. Edmunds is
sitting on his couch with a pillow over his head, telling himself to think
about anything but the movies. But he can’t help it a beautiful angel appears.
Audrey, putting her gun away, tries to talk him down, saying they can help him
but he wants them to go away. “Movies used to always make life easier, a place
to escape when life got hard but now I can’t escape them.” Audrey says they can
help him if he trusts them. Nathan puts his hands on Mr. Edmunds and heals him.
Everything disappears.
Tag
Back at the police station they speak of how all the sets
and animals are gone. Unfortunately the space ship is gone, though James thinks
it would have been cool. Dwight thinks it would have been hard to explain.
Vince and Dave come to the station, they have found
something very interesting about the fan symbol victims but with the two new
bodies it’s probably not the link. Vince and Dave argue whether it’s relevant
to tell them since the new victims don’t match the pattern. Dave says they need
to look back to the evidence and Vincent insists that they, Audrey, Dwight, and
Nathan should know. Audrey, Dwight, and Nathan want to know. Dave tells them
“all the victims are decedents of three of the founding families of Haven.”
Vince continues, “They are all direct decedents of very strange people outcasts
of those families, who were friends.” Dave says they don’t need to know but
Vince continues, “It’s said they were witches.” Dave laughs, “Witches during
the time of the Salem witch trials there were millions of them.” but Vince says
to Dave, “After everything we’ve seen I believe it and you should to.” Vince then
turns to the others and says, “There’s more, there was a fourth member.” Dave
says, “They were supposedly a coven, chased out or killed by the town.” Audrey
asks, “who was the fourth member?” Nathan says that her decedents might be in
danger. Vince and Dave shake their heads, “We haven’t been able to find any
decedents” Dave says, Vince continues, “And if you did you probably wouldn’t
want to. She was the worst of the four.” Dave says, “Everyone was scared of her
in the end. They even drew a detailed portrait to remind them of her so no one
would ever fall victim to her again.” Vince says they tried to get a hold of it
but the records seem to be missing. James comments, “Well that’s not good.”
Dave says it could just be a misfiling besides the latest victims don’t match.
We’ll continue looking.” Dwight thanks them. Vince follows Dave commenting,
“what if the hearts were used to resurrect the witches somehow?” Audrey shivers
Nathan asks if she’s alright, “I don’t think so. I have a bad feeling.”
James catches up to Vince and Dave and tells them he’s going
to solve the Colorado kid murder. They are excited. Audrey and Nathan overhear
and they’re worried, “what if he finds out that he’s the Colorado kid. What
then?” Nathan asks. Audrey doesn’t have an answer for him.
Later, Dwight sees James, having called him in. He requests,
with Vince and Dave’s new information James goes to check out the sight where
he saw the witches in the forest the night before.
James looks at the site. It’s all been cleared away like they
were never there. They must have been part of the movie, its right by Mr.
Edmund’s house. But it feels weird to James and he finds a pattern of blood, on
the grass, it makes a swirl shape.
