Mary sits at a desk.
In front of her is a sheet of paper.
Five names are written on it.
She circles the first name.
FATHER THOMAS.
She closes her eyes.
MARY:
Holy Mary, Mother of God... pray for us sinners...
The candle beside her suddenly turns black.
Mary opens her eyes.
She smiles faintly.
SCENE 8 — FATHER THOMAS
INT. ABANDONED CHURCH — NIGHT
Father Thomas enters an abandoned chapel.
He hears a woman's voice praying somewhere inside.
MARY'S VOICE:
Hail Mary, full of grace...
He freezes.
FATHER THOMAS:
Who's there?
Silence.
He walks deeper into the chapel.
A rosary hangs from the ceiling.
Then another.
Then dozens.
The entire room is covered with rosaries.
Father Thomas begins panicking.
A bell rings by itself.
BOOM.
He turns.
Mary is standing at the end of the aisle.
MARY:
You taught me that God sees everything.
The lights go out.
We hear Father Thomas screaming .
SCENE 9 — THE SECOND PRIEST
INT. PRIEST'S BEDROOM — NIGHT
Father Joseph wakes suddenly.
His room is freezing.
He hears rosary beads moving across the floor.
Click. Click. Click.
He switches on the lamp.
Nothing.
He looks toward the mirror.
Mary is standing behind him.
He turns.
Nobody is there.
He looks back at the mirror.
Her reflection remains.
MARY:
Hail Mary...
The mirror cracks.
Father Joseph screams.
SCENE 10 — THE ROSARY
A montage begins.
Mary walks through the town at night.
She carries her rosary.
Each bead represents one of the men who betrayed her.
One by one, their names disappear from her list.
With every death, Mary becomes less human and more like the dark presence haunting the church.
She whispers the prayer continuously:
MARY:
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
The final bead drops from her hand.
