His Majesty Satan- The screenplay

FADE IN

EXT. ARENA - DAY

A gladiatorial amphitheatre. A sunny day. A crowd watch adoringly men
who kill to win mates. Crowd cheer the men as real men. Two men fight
to death. One man is killed, the crowd cheer as the man dies in agony.
The crowd worship the man who won. A ceremony takes place where the man
is betroved.

INT. HOSPITAL. CORRIDORS - DAY

Camera draws close to name on door of a psychiatrist's office.

INT. HOSPITAL. PSYCHIATRIST OFFICE - DAY

Inside the psychiatrist's office, lies a broken down trodden man, he
talks in a drony broken voice. His name is KETRIN. Ketrin is a good man
who lives in a world, where men are meant to be evil. He is ill from
the logic of this. He lies on a couch. The psychiatrist looks ordinary
he wears glasses and glances at his notes, nonchalantly.

KETRIN
The more evil you are, the more people admire you. All people want
their children to be evil, and win by evil. Weakness, inadequacy are
detested. The ideal men are evil bullying murdering thugs, they're seen
as real men warriors. If you're not that you're hated as bland,
pointless.
Why was I brought up to be good when women only want evil men?
Everyone treats it as whimsical fun to love evil men who wreck lives,
and think it's brave to say they hate good weak men.

Psychiatrist pulls off glasses calmly for an informal tone

PSYCHIATRIST
(reassuring, condescending)
Ketrin.
You know that isn't true. You're warped. How did you get like
this?

KETRIN
(more frustrated, breathing difficulty due to shyness)
Men only get married once they've killed. We've psychopathic ways of
choosing men. The one who wins the fight, wins. That's like wild
animals. They don't care if you're good, all they want is a strong
dominating man, that's it.
Wimps lose, no morality, it's ruthless. Look at those world's sexiest
men polls, it's always serial killers, rapists, gangsters, bullies, who
women find cute.

PSYCHIATRIST
Nonsense.
(shocked forced hilarity)

KETRIN
How did you get your wife? The only way people get married is the fight
to death.

EXT. ARENA - DAY

Fight with psychiatrist, dressed in gladiator uniform, killing another
man to win his wife.

INT. HOSPITAL. PSYCHIATRIST OFFICE - DAY

PSYCHIATRIST
How else would we pick the ultimate race? It's natural selection.

KETRIN
Every generation the most evil men win. Good men hated, rejected. It
hasn't always been like this, once good people won.

PSYCHIATRIST
(pompously, angry, confused)
Shut up.

Psychiatrist gets up and opens door to reception.

PSYCHIATRIST
(shouts to nurse)
Nurse, get some sedative.

Ketrin gets up, opens hospital window and jumps out.

Psychiatrist looks to window.

PSYCHIATRIST
Get security.

INT. BEACH - DAY

A bland cold cloudy day. A beach of sand and pebbles. Grassy dunes
stretch out in distance from beach. Two men arrive on small boat. They
get off boat as it stops a few hundred metres from shore. They are
strong looking, adventurous like clich?d heroes from action adventures.
EBRIE and PADOUR wade ashore.

EBRIE
What is this new world? I've not seen it on maps. What new delights
meet us?

PADOUR
More adventure, fights against evil.

EBRIE
I enjoyed our last battle. But friend, I heard this is a world where
women are held as slaves. Forced to marry evil men. They're oppressed
we must liberate them.

PADOUR
And perhaps we'll gain from this? perhaps women will reward us.

The two LAUGH joyfully.

INT. THE HAREM - DAY

A beautiful luxurious bath chamber, like from Greek antiquity. Everyone
wears white. A pool fresh glistening takes up much room. Muscular
eunuchs serve fruit and wine. EMTSY chief wife of the harem of the
ruler of the Empire LORD HIS MAJESTY SATAN. She is one of his 758 wives
and has given birth to two of his 2723 children. Lord His Majesty Satan
is an evil bully, the harem adore him seeing him as a genetic winner.
Emtsy takes grapes from a eunuch, smiles cheerfully, happy in the
knowledge of evil, the happiness of a psychopath with no troubles,
concern.
A harp occasionally PLAYS.

EMTSY
My husband shall fight this week to win another wife.

SALO
Don't forget, he's my husband too. He's the husband of all of us.

EMTSY
What a man, my children inherit his power.

SALO
We're lucky to have a great man for a husband. He's killed over 25000
men with his bare hands, raped over 17000 women. He's the ultimate man,
unstoppable, a beast.

EMTSY
Our children inherit his manly genes.

SALO
One day our sons will fight to death. I'm eager to see which one
wins.
Our Lord Satan is a worthy leader, a real man, so powerful strong so
terrifyingly ferocious. We feel pleasure to know our children will
inherit his power.
All men desire to be him, all women desire to have him. Last week I saw
him kill a disabled man with his bare hands.
He's a great sense of humour, laughing as he tortures people. I don't
judge men by looks what matters is the personality. That their
personality is ruthlessly evil.

EMTSY
Terrifying strong, powerful, he is evolution, the perfect man,
Satan.

SALO
But we have power too. We pick the ultimate man.

EMTSY
(moans, orgasming.)
No man can defeat him he's pure sexual urges. All women desire him.
He's evolutionary perfection. We select the most evil men.
In primitive times women who survived were those picking the most
psychopathic, evil, bullying men. Only those women would survive. What
chance would you have if you picked some nice guy. Only the most
ruthless men survive, killing the weak. Kill your parents when they're
weak and can no longer hunt, kill weak children, kill rival's children,
destroy, humiliate burdens, obliterate them.
We cannot resist such men. It's our job, as women to select the most
ruthless and unbeatable. We slowly evolve to an ultimate species. His
Lord Satan, unbeatable, eternal, what bliss. Immortality.

INT. KETRIN HOUSE -DAY

Ketrin's Aunt and Uncle have received a phone call. UNCLE OF KETRIN is
annoyed at his nephew. He doesn't understand why he argues against
society. His aunt and uncle are relatively good people. They are good
but they follow the government line.

UNCLE OF KETRIN
You treat that boy too warmly. You molly coddle him. You brought him up
like a woman. He tries to be nice.

Ketrin returns home. Door of room opens and in walks Ketrin. Ketrin
prepares to go upstairs to his bedroom.

UNCLE OF KETRIN
Come here.

AUNT OF KETRIN
The hospital phoned, Ketrin. They said you were talking about those
ideas.

KETRIN
I'm not mad. I've found something wrong with society.

UNCLE OF KETRIN
Stop that rubbish.

KETRIN
You don't understand. Society's more evil than it was. Women only like
evil bullies now. They hate good men.

AUNT OF KETRIN
Go out and find yourself a girlfriend.

KETRIN
But women don't like nice men. They only like evil men. No woman would
want me. You must kill another man before you mate.

UNCLE OF KETRIN
Well get into training.

KETRIN
I don't want to.

AUNT OF KETRIN
Ketrin. You're not one of those sad weak men. Ketrin, you're like a son
to me.

KETIRN
Aunt, Uncle, what's wrong with you? Can't you see this is awful? The
most bullying men regarded as sex gods.

Ketrin's sister CUSLE comes in, she has sympathy with Ketrin.

CURSLE
What's this? You're arguing about Ketrin.

UNCLE OF KETRIN
Stay out Cursle, this isn't your business.

AUNT OF KETRIN
Ketrin, why can't you be normal like the other men. Why can't you just
accept to fight, or accept your place?

KETRIN
My place in society is to die childless because I'm not evil enough to
deserve children while bullies and murderers are regarded as real men.
I don't accept my place in society. Men like me get hated for not being
evil.
This harem system means we don't get children. It's only the evil elite
who get sex and children. Only the bullies, thugs, the most dangerous
psychopathic men, and they tell us we're meant to accept that.
Why can't you see your bullying elite men aren't cute, novelty acts,
they're evil, they're bullies, I hate them. I've every right to hate
them and they've no right to hate me.

CURSLE
Ketrin's right, I don't want to marry some bully, you brought us up
good.

UNCLE OF KETRIN
(furious)
Stop this talk.

KETRIN
We can't live like this. We can't bring up people to be good and make
them watch as bullies, thugs are regarded as sexy.

AUNT OF KETRIN
Ketrin, I care about you. I just want you to be happy to be
normal.

KETRIN
If I accept this, all I'll get is broken more. They don't pick men like
me. I can't be happy in this society. I've got to change it.

Ketrin walks to sofa. Ketrin stares down as if to admit something
shameful.

KETRIN
Aunt I've a confession.

AUNT OF KETRIN
You're not G?

KETRIN
(interrupts)
Yes Aunt, I'm Good.

Aunt of Ketrin Screams in horror and Uncle stands up.

KETRIN
I hate evil. I hate evil men and I hate women who love evil men and I
want to change society. I want to make people good.

UNCLE OF KETRIN
Don't say such things.

Ketrin leaves house.

EXT. A PATH - DAY

Mountainess area of empire, like Scottish highlands, a path,
maintained, but narrow, stretches along an inland loch as high brooding
mountains stand on other side of loch and to other side on the side of
the path is a plateau of heather.

Ebrie and Padour walk down the path singing songs, of war, carrying
swords.

EBRIE
We've walked for hours. Yet see nothing.

PADOUR
(urgently)
Look in the distance, burning houses.

EBRIE
Trouble. That means people to save.

Padour and Ebrie run towards hamlet.

EXT. HAMLET - DAY

Scene of carnage, houses burning, and on the floor a family of three
are pleading. A young man and his young wife URIOP, she carries her
child in her arms.

Twenty soldiers in dark uniforms on horses. Horses are moving around as
soldiers set fire to houses. Soldiers shout and sneer. One soldier has
dismounted his horse, and talks with deputy, who has also dismounted.
It is his majesty's chief soldier LORD CHARTOUR. His deputy is LORD SIR
TEREFORE. Both are powerful looking men.
Lord Chartour talks in deep terrifying voice. Performance focusing on
deliberate fear.

LORD SIR TEREFORE
Lord Chartour, chief of Lord Satan's army of normality and strength, we
searched the hamlet for our traitor.

LORD CHARTOUR
We'll take the women, kill the men and children they're weak. Where's
the infidel?

LORD SIR TEREFORE
He escaped, but we have his family. We'll use them to bring him back.
His name was Ketrin, he told one of our agents remarks against our
society.

LORD CHARTOUR
(shouts in fury)
We must make an example of him, we must show what people like this are,
weak.
Women must hate them. All women must desire the ultimate lord, our
destroyer, our vanquisher of weakness, and difference, our supreme
ruler our lord His Majesty Satan.

Soldier brings Uncle of Ketrin to Lords, for interrogation. As lords
remount horses.

SOLDIER
Kneel to your betters.

Uncle of Ketrin kneels before the lords.

UNCLE OF KETRIN
Lord Chartour, forgive my family for my nephew's errors. We apologise
most humbly lord. I beg mercy your honour.

LORD CHARTOUR
(arrogance)
You're weak. You bring shame on our ruler. You bring shame on our
world. You bring shame on your family.

Lord Chartour spits on Uncle of Ketrin.

LORD CHARTOUR
You'll be taken with your family and imprisoned. Your wife and niece
married to our Lord Satan. You'll be forced to fight for your wife
against a fine Soldier. We'll hunt your nephew and execute him
publicly.
All your village's men will die for your family's weakness. You weak
creature and your nephew who lurks in shadows like a coward shall be
brought into light and shown a fire of punishment so strong he may
shrivel up like the worm he is.

Lord Chartour lifts head up, and shouts out, but keeping dignity.

LORD CHARTOUR
Do you hear me Ketrin? Wherever you are we'll find you. If you don't
surrender within 3 days we'll kill your family.
(talks to deputy, calmly)
Lord Terefore I place you in control. I'll take 5 Soldiers and this
traitor's family. As I commanded kill the men and children, take the
women they seem useful stock. Good wives for brave soldiers.

Lord Chartour gallops off, with hostages, and 5 soldiers.

EXT.HAMLET - DAY

An hour after Lord Chartour left. Houses still burn as twelve of the
hamlet's men, lined up infront of their dead children, are killed. The
soldiers had tied the men to posts, then slit their throat. The widows
seem calm, except URIOP who cries. A solider walks to her.

SOLDIER 2
You'll be my wife.

URIOP
You're a murderer. You killed my child.

SOLDIER 2
I'm a real man. I've no mercy for weakness. Women love evil, to inherit
the strength.

URIOP
I loved my son and husband. Why did you kill them?

Soldier 2 shouts to other soldiers who seem to get on well with other
widows.

SOLDIER 2
This one's good, kill her.

Other soldiers walk to Uriop to prepare rape, she screams in
horror.

Padour and Ebrie arrive after in hamlet. Soldiers see them
Padour and Ebrie have only seen the carnage of the dead men.

Lord Sir Terefore sees the two men and calls to soldiers.

LORD SIR TEREFORE
Intruders.

Lord Sir Terefore, on his horse, moves towards the two men. He pulls
out sword.

LORD SIR TEREFORE
(arrogance, superiority)
We must kill all male occupants of traitor's town. You will be blooded.
I honour you.

PADOUR
You leave me no choice.

Padour slings sword into Lord Sir Terefore's body cutting the man
straight through.

LORD SIR TEREFORE
(agony)
Lord! What insolence?

Lord Sir Terefore falls of horse, as sword remains in him, as he
dies.

Padour runs over to regain sword, as Lord Sir Terefore is dead.

Soldiers watch in horror, they left their swords on the other side of
the hamlet as they prepared for rape of Uriop.

Uriop screams in horror. Padour and Ebrie run over to help. Padour
moves the soldiers out of way. Padour sees soildiers raping Uriop.
Padour stabs first soldier he sees over her. Then pores sword into
others. The 13 others try to run off but Ebrie stabs many as they run.
Three of them fall over. The remaining 10 run on but Padour manages to
stab a further two. Eight soldiers manage to run over to their swords.
Padour and Ebrie see them running to their swords.

PADOUR
Let's get out of here were outnumbered. Save this woman and take that
horse.

Points to Lord Sir Terefore's horse.

EBRIE
Other's of the village, run, we'll draw the soldiers away.

Padour and Ebrie run to Uriop to rescue her. Padour lifts Uriop and
they run to horse left by Lord Terefore. The three get on horse all
three of them then gallop off on the horse. The 8 soldiers get on their
horses and gallop after the three.

EXT. THE HAMLET - DAY

Ketrin returns to hamlet.

Now the hamlet contains 12 women who all wait calmly laughing to
themselves about the incidents. Haron, the widow of one the men killed,
develops an expression of horror and groans loudly as she nottices
Ketrin.

HARON
Oh, god don't look now it's, Ketrin.

The 11 others MOAN loudly their moan of dissatisfaction at such an
inferior man.

Haron looks at Ketrin and smiles.

HARON
Hello Ketrin, are you wondering where your family are?

Ketrin runs to them.

KETRIN
Where's my family?

HARON
Our leaders took them because of your blabbing.

The women LAUGH sneeringly.
Ketrin looks over at the stakes of the men on the poles and the dead
children beside them. He collapses on floor.

KETRIN
(pleading desperate pitty)
They killed your husbands. They killed your children.

HARON
We've better men now. The soldiers took us as brides. They're superior
men. Our children were genetic mistakes of weakness. We'll give birth
to stronger children.

Ketrin holds his head in hands.

HARON
Some of us were upset some sexy men came and killed some soldiers
killing our future husbands. I don't know how many they killed. It was
distressing, heart breaking to discover those soldiers were weak. They
took one woman. Uriop. She's strange she didn't like her husband's
murderer.

KETRIN
(Shyly)
Don't say that.

HARON
There's no point being bitter. You make yourself unhappy.

KETRIN
Do you have emotions?

HARON
Yes. I hate men like you. We always beat you. There's no point hating
winners.

KETRIN
(distressed)
Where's my sister, aunt, uncle?

HARON
They say they're going to kill them if you don't give yourself up. Why
don't you everything was OK until.

KETRIN
(interuptts, almost crying)
You're right it's my fault. I shouldn't have told the
psychiatrist.

HARON
We don't forgive you.

KETRIN
(crying)
Sorry.

HARON
Not about this. We don't need weak husbands. We mean for being
weak.
If you hadn't ranted to your uncle and aunt about how unfair you find
society. I wouldn't have had to inform on you. This wouldn't have
happened. Creep.

KETRIN
(crying)
You're evil.

In distance, horses can be seen drawing closer.

HARON
Please stay.

KETRIN
(crying)
What what that's them? The soldiers you want to give them me up to
them.

Ketrin runs, the women try to catch him, they pick up wooden sticks to
throw at him.

HARON
(shouts)
Wierdo.

Ketrin runs from hamlet.

HARON
(snobbish, disdainful)
What an awful strange man.

EXT. THE HILLS - NIGHT

Padour, Ebrie and Uriop sit at a fire on the hills. A zone of light is
created in pitch black

PADOUR
That was a great battle.

URIOP
You killed people. I don't see how you 're pleased?

EBRIE
You're a good lady. You don't admire men for murder

PADOUR
All women are like that. We're here to liberate you from terrible men.
We've heard how awful your men are. They murder, abuse, rape, bully and
make murderers, rapists, bullies leaders.

URIOP
It isn't like that.
It's more horrible. The women admire the men who murder. The men who
rape are admired as real men, strong men, exciting, brave. You don't
see how evil this world is. It's men and women.

EBRIE
There can't be women like that.

URIOP
But in our land evil men are admired.
The men hated are the weak, the good, the different, the inadequate.
They're seen as weak. Vulnerable Men and women are hated as disgusting,
burdens they're used as slaves in the camps like that one down
there.

Uriop points, but it is too dark too see.

URIOP
Down there is a camp where 15,000 men work for the regime. Slave
labour. They're rejects hated for being good, nice, weird in the sense
of being shy or disabled, or merciful, good. You don't see what an
awful world this is. The nicer people are the more they're hated as
weak, genetic mistakes, evolutionary burdens. Men get power as serial
rapists, murderers, every evil imaginable bullying to excruciating
extents.
Women love them. They find them more sexually appealing than you could
imagine they find evil irresistible. They see it as strength. Good is
the most horrific weakness to them.
This isn't a male dominated society. Women have control. The most
powerful person in the land is Emtsy chief wife of the Emperor's
harem.
The society was set up decades ago by an evil dictator. The more evil a
man is the more manly he seen as.

EBRIE
Who was he what dictator would do this?

URIOP
She was abused by her father, and believed all men were meant to be
evil it turned her on. She hated good men as weak, sad, bland, trivial
creatures, a burden. She had a vision, that one day a great creature
would evolve so ruthless that nothing else would survive, and she made
her aim that we evolve to that. The creature we call Satan.
The most evil man would win and she loved the idea of producing
children that were ancestors of the everlasting evil that will never be
defeated. Good men are a bizarre strange race to Satan's harem.
The leader is known as Satan but he is only in line of evolution to
Satan. Satan makes the decisions but the harem can order him to fight
to death to prove he is the ultimate man. The unstoppable, most
ruthless, evil man of his generation.
In your world perhaps women find violence, murder, bullying as
unattractive but in this world they are musts for sex.

EBRIE
This is awful. Why were you attacked?

URIOP
A young man in the hamlet was heard complaining of the regime. He
escaped but his aunt, uncle and sister are captured.

EBRIE
But why are you different?

URIOP
There are those of us who still keep good, we worship in secret.
Out there's another slave camp where 10000 women who support good are
enslaved.

EBRIE
Of all the worlds I've been to. This is the most distressing, a world
where women admire evil. It's impossible to comprehend. No woman in my
world would love evil. What kind of men would obey these rules?

URIOP
It's insane to speak out. The regime's ruthless with subjects.
To question our leaders, regime's laws, is suicide. One move and he'll
destroy your family, your settlement. An entire city of 3 million
people was wiped out because one young woman claimed society shouldn't
be like this. Weak people are tolerated for a while but when they seem
too weak, or good they're sent to the camp if they speak out they'll
die with their family and relatives.

EBRIE
This is it, Padour. The challenge we've waited for, a chance to kill an
evil foe that seemed unbeatable.

PADOUR
I accept.

URIOP
For every one you kill, another's anxious to take the mantel. Besides
killing our leader's impossible. You can't imagine how strong he is. It
would take 10 of you to take him on and stand a bare chance of hurting
him. He is stronger quicker, more ruthless than you imagine.

Padour and Ebrie LAUGH.

EBRIE
Don't say anymore. It merely increases our thirst for battle.

INT. THE HAREM - DAY

Cursle is tied up and is led into the harem. Emtsy walks over to
her.

EMTSY
After the fight you'll be another of our majesty's brides.

CURSLE
But I don't want to marry that evil bully.

Emtsy slaps Cursle across the face.

EMTSY
How dare you insult our leader.
You'll soon fall for his majesty's charm. He is strong, a winner, a
fighter, no man or beast can defeat. No woman can resist such strength,
ability, power. In time you'll learn to adore him. No woman can resist
evil. No matter how hard we try. You come here thinking you'll resist
him that you're different, idealistic, innocent, but all women seek
only one thing their children will carry on, they'll have descendants
who evolve to the ultimate creature, the only species, the one
creature, the ultimate power his ruthless holly might Satan.

CURSLE
You're evil! He's an evil man a rapist, a murderer.

EMTSY
You'll learn to adore those traits, as lovable strength. Occasionally
you'll feel sympathy with victims but only a dizzy childish laughter at
pain they suffer, a loving whimsy admiration of Satan's power at his
victim's hopelessness. Then you realise your children will be as strong
as he is and you'll be proud to have his children, proud of
immortality. Men don't see the decisions we women must make, they see
life so simply, good v evil, love, they don't spend life agonising over
what mate will produce the most potent tox of supremacy. Who will
father their child? Calculate who's the best chance of survival, that
good is weakness that pulls your child back. What kind of mothers would
we be to give our children, the weakness of good?

CURSLE
I'd rather die than marry your evil majesty. I want good to win, I
don't want children who murder, rape what barbaric hell.

EMTSY
Take her to her cell, she'll be taught to adore our leader. A real man
will show her the true manliness of evil.

INT. THE PUB - DAY

In a pub. A TV beams down from high up on the wall, a large TV sounds a
broadcast out loudly. TV pictures show face of Ketrin a wanted man for
crimes against His Majesty Satan. TV presenter issues a comment on
Ketrin.

TV PRESENTER
Government forces extracted revenge on a traitor's settlement. The men
and children of his settlement were punished appropriately. The women
will be married to worthy men. Our government requests sightings of
this man be reported that you capture him and hand him over to the
authorities for punishment his majesty feels fit.

Three men chat in pub. They discuss TV as TV returns to footage of
sporting match of two elite men fighting.

PUB MAN ONE
What a fight. You got'a admire these men, the elite.

PUB MAN TWO
They're stronger, ruthless, merciless, evil. Both are rapists,
murderers, bullies, the most evil men of all. Real men, no conscience,
weakness holding them back, free, liberated to commit evil and enjoy
others suffering. No wonder women find them irresistible. They've
strength. We're scum to our lords.

PUB MAN THREE
But the greatest man of all's Satan.
My youngest has a thing about him, can't get him out of her mind.
Drives her crazy thinking of the bullying, abuse, evil he commits, so
manly. She's a poster of him.

PUB MAN ONE
What do you think of that Ketrin?

PUB MAN TWO
I don't know what the hell they're on. Strange creatures, weirdoes. I
enjoy killing them. They've no respect for superiors. They regard
themselves as equal. They believe in this thing good where men should
be nice. They want us to be women and women don't want that. Women want
real men. It's natural. There's no species where women desire good men.
It would be creepy. What benefit would women gain from good. They could
not kill, rape, murder, abuse to power. We're too tolerant of inferiors
they must be eliminated before they infect weak ideas.

PUB MAN ONE
I heard of a women who fell in love with a good man. We had to lock her
up in the slave camp, sad weirdo. I hated my sister.

PUB MAN THREE
If we left it up to them we'd evolve to blandness. Women love evil why
can't good guys accept that? Last night my wife asked me to pretend to
be Satan, kinky fun. So we pretended I was slitting her throat, she was
ecstatic. We must admire Satan. He killed 70 men last night, raped
their wives. I wish I was him or my son was to spread my genes.

PUB MAN ONE
I want to punch Ketrin in the face like you punch all weak vulnerable
people. All that needy grovelling personality makes me sick. All normal
people hate weakness it insults us. I cry with anger or fear when I see
weak, weird people other times I laugh at them to sneer at their
inferiority like I laughed when I killed my daughter, or I ignore them
in disdain, but I ensure they know I'm ignoring them in disdain, to
make them feel small. When I found out my daughter was ill I punched
her face in, hard, so she'd die a long painful death deliberately to
make her suffer. She died, dumb, weak, bitch, served her right, being
weak.

PUB MAN TWO
Strange fruits. We want real men.

Through the pub window Pub Man One sees a crowd gathering it seems to
move down the street. People shout and scream the three men run from
pub to see the commotion.

INT. THE STREET - DAY

Streets look modern fine looking buildings, except instead of concrete,
muddy tracks.

Ketrin is being beaten by thugs in middle of street.

Four policemen turn up followed by TV crew. Lead cop blows whistle to
break crowd up.

A group of men hold up Ketrin, who is beaten, his jumper is ripped, and
he is cut.

THUG ONE
We caught the traitor we kept him alive. A mild beating as asked for
from our Lord.

POLICE MAN
You'll be rewarded for this bravery.

A TV camera crew is following. CHIEF REPORTER asks Ketrin why he
betrayed the lord. Chief Reporter is one of the His Majesty's
brides.

CHIEF REPORTER
(snobbish, bitter, disdainful)
Why have you caused this problem?

Ketrin is normally shy, more so after being beaten up. He stays
silent.

THUG ONE
Tell her.

Thug One hits Ketrin, lightly in stomach, but Ketrin keels over
winded.

THUG ONE
(laughs)
Hardly touched him.

CHIEF REPORTER
(utter disgust)
Pitiful scum. They expect us to feel sympathy but we hate them. They
insult us with weakness they annoy our normality why do weak pathetic
creeps get created. They're diseases we've no feeling for.

KETRIN
(crying, struggling to talk)
You're evil. Why do you reward evil men why do you admire evil
men.

CHIEF REPORTER
(confused dismayed)
He makes no sense.

Chief Reporter kicks Ketrin in stomach

KETRIN
(groans from hurt)

CHIEF REPORTER
(sneers, smiling at his pain)
He can't even take it from a woman.

The men laugh, a deep throttled deliberate snide sneering laugh of
arrogance. Deep condescending arrogant superior laugh. One laughing at
cruelty almost ecstasy for that reason to laugh at weakness, a sombre
sinister tone, a buzzing sound, as if practiced, deliberately to strike
chilling humiliation to the victim.

CHIEF REPORTER
How did you escape the slave camp?

Chief Reporter spits on Ketrin.

Ketrin looks angry bitter, he struggles but thugs hold him.

KETRIN
I shouldn't be hated for being weak. I'm not evil. You put strength
above morality.
How can you love evil men? Men have emotions. It's not just women with
emotions. Just because you're turned on by psychopath bullies with no
concern, empathy that doesn't mean all men are that. Even if we seem
empty it's cause we're broken, deeply emotional. No one should want
evil to win. God why do this.

Thugs laugh and Chief Reporter laughs with them.

CHIEF REPORTER
(sneering manner, as an insult)
This man sounds in terrible pain, such agony.
Then smiles.

INT. OVERLOOKING SLAVE CAMP - DAY

A mountain with a camp, a huge mining centre, the valley is a scarred
rocky landscape. Men and women work being forced to help mine
materials. Guards shout at slaves.
Large base with slaves being led too exists with a 60 ft high gate but
outside is quarry.
Ebrie, Padour and Uriop stare at the scene from a high
mountainside.

PADOUR
We must save them.

URIOP
But there are guards everywhere.

PADOUR
Kill some guards then free the slaves. We'll crawl down the stream to
the quarry.

EBRIE
I'll follow.

PADOUR
Both of you.

EXT. QUARRY - DAY
Three guards and one of the guard's wives talk as they watch a hundred
slaves in their command cracking rocks to find material.

SLAVE GUARD ONE
I hear you went out last night and got off with some bitch.

SLAVE GUARD TWO
Yeah I killed her husband. She was really turned on. I tortured the man
for hours. Women love that they like a bit of rough.

SLAVE CAMP SLAVE ONE runs up to the guards.

SLAVE CAMP SLAVE ONE
Free me from this place. How can you worship such evil ideas?

SLAVE GUARD ONE
(ignores man)
Yeah right.

SLAVE GUARD WIFE
Don't talk to these people they're sad.

SLAVE CAMP SLAVE ONE
He abused me as a child. He's a paedophile,
he forced sex on me, he bullied me. He's evil how can you love such
men?

Slave Guard nonchalantly looks away. Looking like he's going to walk
off. Slave Guard Wife looks disgusted by Slave Camp Slave One.

Slave Guard Wife tries to pull guard away.

SLAVE GUARD WIFE
(superior angry to shocking upstart.)
For god's sake man grow up. It happened as a child, get over it. It's
harmless fun. Everyone knows you can smash children's faces in,
humiliate them as dehumanised hated outcasts and they don't care, it's
part of growing up. Especially when it's other children doing it. It
should build you up being humiliated and broken.
I was involved in bullying, it had no affect on me it's trivial. It's
the same with paedophilia, rape, murder. Victim's always complain, they
don't realise how trivial it is to people doing it, how victims of
bullying are worthless scum who've no emotions.
Why do victim's take it out on us as if it's our fault that we hated
them. We must break vulnerable children down, bully them. When they
complain tell them they're creepy, scary for complaining
You think my husbands scary but to me you're so weak, broken you're
scary.
I think that's fear, or is it the snobbish hatred towards inferiors,
not physical fear like I fear my husband that all women should feel to
lovers, no, the fear as you walk past a sad person, and don't want
friends to see you near, because it might damage my reputation, so I
must show how much I hate the person to ensure everyone knows I'm
superior.

SLAVE CAMP SLAVE ONE
You did something wrong, you broke me down that isn't fair. I still
feel inferior. I still find it difficult to talk because I've the snobs
disdain drummed into me.
You either ignore me, or laugh at me, or get angry with me, or sneer at
me, why can't you accept you did something wrong.
Why not apologise, accept victims aren't the ones with something be
ashamed of.
Don't defend yourself by hating me for being weak, different, or
pretending it was trivial. Please god accept you did something wrong. I
can't cope with this.

Slave Guard One and Slave Guard Wife walk away.

SLAVE GUARD WIFE
Why take this job working with inadequate broken scum? Why can't you
get a job dealing with normal men?

SLAVE GUARD ONE
Don't worry about him. I feel sorry for him I'll kill him. Like I do to
people I feel sorry for. Don't go near him he's scary.

SLAVE GUARD WIFE
You're so caring.

Two other slave guards laugh.

SLAVE GUARD TWO
What a guy he bullies, abuses and they never get him back.

SLAVE CAMP SLAVE ONE
This isn't fair it's evil.

SLAVE GUARD TWO
You don't realise how much women are scared of men like you.

SLAVE CAMP SLAVE TWO
Maybe he's right. They tell us we're scum, inferiors we don't matter,
we're worthless scum. We deserve to be bullied, broken, picked on to
suicide and they shouldn't feel guilt when their victims die. But if
one of us feels hatred back, for them bullying us, that's really
unreasonable because we're scary creeps.
And they should write plays, novels detailing they're right to abuse
vulnerable people, because being weak and pathetic is a crime against
normality and strength.

SLAVE GUARD TWO
I'm writing a play on how I bullied sad people at school. How it was
brave, strong and amusing and how all women admire me for that, how all
weak bullied people deserve to be miserable and it's their fault. I
will do grotesquely bullying characterisations of how I see
victims.

SLAVE CAMP SLAVE ONE
This isn't right were better than them.

SLAVE GUARD WIFE
(cackling, sneering, laughing)
Sad.

Padour appears behind Slave Guard Wife and stabs sword in her back. She
falls over bleeding. Then he cuts her husband's head off

SLAVE GUARD WIFE
What powerful man could've committed such act? Pleasure to be touched
by him.

Slave Guard Wife dies.

Two other guards run at Padour. He stabs the two guards dead.
Slaves look shocked they sit down shaking in fear.

PADOUR
I'm here to free prisoners.

Slaves look terrified.

SLAVE CAMP SLAVE ONE
(shock)
You killed them.

PADOUR
They admire evil. They deserve death. Don't feel pity at evil.

Uriop and Ebrie run from quarry to help, as they do prison opens and
out rush guards.

EBRIE
This was too risky, run.

The five run towards quarry hillside. As they do the guards on horses
catch up. They gallop to hillside after them. Slaves are caught
immediately. Uriop is caught.

PADOUR
Knock one off their horse.

Guard catches Padour but Padour throws sword into guard knocking him
off horse then jumps on horse. As he does Ebrie is caught.

PADOUR
I'll save you.

Then Padour gallops off up the quarry the guards cannot catch
him.

INT. THE BEDROOM- DAY

Emtsy sits in her bed looking at television of report on Ketrin as
reported by Chief Reporter. The programme broadcasts the whole
occurrence but during it Emtsy speaks. A maid is in the room tidying.
As Ketrin is first seen being beaten by the thugs prior to the Chief
Reporter questioning him.

EMTSY
What is this man. Why protest against us. They're creepy. He make's my
skin crawl.

Emtsy shivers grotesque shiver of a snob.

MAID
His Majesty Lord Satan must see you.

EMTSY
Go. We'll not need assistance with sex.

Maid walks out of room. In walks His Majesty Satan. Satan is muscular,
tall, aggressive, bullying believes himself to be real man. He is
charming warm but a tone of confident superior warmth. Like a seducer
smiling his great smile his white teeth.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
(charming)
Good evening Emtsy you wanted me.

EMTSY
In bed.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
Very well.

EMTSY
It isn't that. A wife wants you to kill this.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
I heard about him he's weird. He's harmless, if he gets near you I'll
break his bones.

EMTSY
(gleefully)
I'm not scared of him but he makes me shiver, he's creepy, like the
slaves. I don't care about him. I don't see why we don't just do a
public execution.
Your wife number 32 desires you make an example of him. It'll turn her
on to see a man of her choice die at her husband's hands.

His Majesty is in bed. As they watch TV.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
What do you mean an example? We'll have him executed. We burned his
village, killed the men and children of his village and their women
have been married. He's weak he's nothing. Like beating a baby.
Fun.

Emtsy watches TV as Ketrin is shown pronouncing words, while
beaten

KETRIN (o.s)
I shouldn't be hated for being weak. I'm not evil. You put strength
above morality.
How can you love evil men? Men have emotions. It's not just women with
emotions. Just because you're turned on by psychopath bullies with no
concern, empathy that doesn't mean all men are that. Even if we seem
empty it's cause we're broken, deeply emotional. No one should want
evil to win. God why do this.

EMTSY
What an awful man. Well don't worry, sad men like that, just makes
themself angry. I've nothing but vague disdain for him. Why would she
interview such an awful man?

Emtsy changes channel.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
Most men are normal. They realise only the real evil men deserve women.
That weak men, good men must die it's natural selection, and what do
you mean interview?

EMTSY
She wants to make a career from this. Just fit him as one of your
fights. Your wife wants to show why men think like him.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
Lets have sex.

EMTSY
I just thought I'd tell you.

INT. PRISON CELL - DAY

Ketrin sits in solitary cell. He is upset. The ceilings white cushioned
totally white it appears no exits but they are hidden. A small opening
for a window as wide as a few people appears but 10 ft high above
Ketrin on the wall. Chief Reporter appears at window.

Chief Reporter talks to Ketrin as if talking to idiot who she hates.
She sees Ketrin as grotesque failure. She talks to him in a wary tone
as if she is scared of what he will do next but not out of danger but a
snob wondering what grotesque weakness it's victim will portray next to
make her skin crawl. She hates it for this, a pained, bitter, snobbish
hated.

CHIEF REPORTER
I'm here to interview you.

KETRIN
You kicked me.

CHIEF REPORTER
You insult men.

KETRIN
I haven't done anything.

CHIEF REPORTER
I've placed you to fight His Majesty to death for your sister. If you
don't fight him you'll die and your sister will be married to His
Majesty. If you lose your sister will be married to His Majesty.

KETRIN
(stutters)
I can't fight him. He's impossible.

CHIEF REPORTER
(confused, disgusted)
You're male you're meant to enjoy killing.

KETRIN
Why do you hate me?

CHIEF REPORTER
You'll find most women have no opinion of you. Except a burdensome hate
at weak creatures existing insulting our brave Satan's name. Pretending
to be men.
I'm interviewing for my show to discover why men like you think as you
do.
Why you want to be good it's so effeminate? Why you expect women to
like good men?

KETRIN
I'm not wrong.

Chief Reporter shivers.

CHIEF REPORTER
You see what you do to women?
You make us sick. We don't want good men. We want an evil world where
people are abused. We don't see men like you as emotional. You're
empty, bland. All that matters are bullying men. I've worked out how
you think. You think women are supposed to feel sorry you. Well
sometimes we do but we hate you more for that.
Just realise we don't think in terms of good, evil. We think in terms
of strength.

KETRIN
You make evil bullies win. Why?

CHIEF REPORTER
I'm feminist.

KETRIN
You're not. Feminism's about equality it's not about women fancying
evil men.

CHIEF REPORTER
Decades ago women liked good men. Evolutionary wise it was insane. A
great leader told us it was wrong. Instead of one woman getting the
perfect man we all should. No woman should be left with weakness and
good's weakness.

KETRIN
But this is evil.

CHIEF REPORTER
I'm a good person. Don't you see? I don't murder, rape, abuse it's my
husband who does. That's the difference between men and women. Women
are good, sweet. Men are evil rapists who murder, abuse so the more
evil you are the more sexy you are and the more good you are we find
you repulsive.

KETRIN
This is an evil society. I knew this as a child. When the other boys
bullied me. You can't be good and think loving evil men's harmless. You
make them win. You're a tool for evil men to mock good men.

CHIEF REPORTER
I know how you feel. As a child I loved a good man. I was simple. I'm
ashamed now.
When you're young you've childish desires for good men. Weak desires,
based on puny ideas of worshiping weakness of thinking men have
emotions but as you grow older, more sophisticated, ruthless,
intelligent in the choice of mate who will continue your line. You
realise men have no emotions. They're emotionless robots so men can't
be evil as without emotions, how can you be evil?

KETRIN
Once you loved good men. Maybe you've potential to be good.

CHIEF REPORTER
(interrupts)
When I was 14, I loved a good boy he was 14. I never went out with him,
but I feel so ashamed to have desired him. Satan visited my school and
liked me he noticed the weak boy I fancied so they fought to
death.

KETRIN
But Satan's 20 years older than you. That's a grown adult killing a
boy.

CHIEF REPORTER
There's nothing worse than weakness.

Salo walks into view of window.

SALO
Don't give this impression. He thinks women are forced to love evil
against our will.

KETRIN
Maybe she could have loved good. They're bullied to love evil men. Just
cause you love evil men it doesn't mean all women should.

SALO
(laughs)
(joyful sneering)
Women aren't bullied to love evil men. It isn't like the bully
threatens us to love men we despise. It's logic. What do you think
women want from men? Men who produce evil ruthless descendants. For
centuries we didn't face this but the leader told us what we are, to
hate good men, to hate sons when they're weak, how right to feel pride
at sons who bully, kill. We shouldn't feel guilt for loving evil men
it's our duty. Too ruthlessly select the perfect creature.

KETRIN
But that's not romance that's sick. Nothing else matters a set of
criteria for ruthless survival. So mechanical, so contrived, so lacking
compassion, emotion, love.

SALO
You're wrong I feel deep emotions. I love my husband as strongly as
anyone loves.
(pauses)
I love the power, the strength, my children shall inherit.
(becomes, impassioned)
It's love of weakness that never lasts. You grow tired, resentful as it
holds you back. You yearn for power a ruthless evil.
As I felt with my first weak husband and our weak children the type we
despise. So I asked Satan to save me. He killed my weak children and
husband and married me.

CHIEF REPORTER
All men are evil. I want you to die, to feel pain. Teach you how evil
you are, punish you for letting us down.

KETRIN
I'm not the man who forced you to marry and killed your friend. Don't
think when you punish me you're getting back at wrongs of
evil men. They want me to lose.

Chief Reporter and Salo LAUGH.

SALO
(frustrated angry laughter)
We know you're not evil. It's why we hate you. We love evil men they're
real men.
We've no evolutionary reason to back good.
You've no idea what it is to be female. The power of choice, who to
select as father of children and what would you choose strength or
weakness.
This isn't some fairy tale world for men with women as rewards for good
behaviour. We're conscious beings with desires, ambitions, dreams. We
want to win.
I bring my children up well. I do no crime but when it comes to it I
pick my mate ruthlessly a powerful man who dominates, terrifies, so my
children inherit power.
I find bullying, murder, rape in a man cute, that psychopathic lack of
empathy, deep passionate hatred for weakness, difference.

KETRIN
She see's a bully smashing an innocent person's face in and thinks if
she says he's cute for committing evil. It means she's beaten him it
makes him feel small so they can fuck. but she's in power. She's got
her evil beast on a leash under her thumb. She's the power to bully
with protection. The same clich?d evil logic evil woman use.
Well he thinks he's cute. You support him. He probably beats you and
has affairs and you still think you control well you're not.
You're just in it so your children end up evil.

SALO
I bring my sons up well. I brought them up good it's just there's
something about bad men, something exciting, wild they can do anything.
Things you'd never imagine. Last night my husband did excruciating
torture on animals. So clever, original.

KETRIN
So what if he's exciting. He's evil, that's what matters. You say you
teach your sons to be good. Well how would you feel if they never had
children because women hated good men so they end up broken, hated by
women for being bland, weak, inadequate. The men who bully called real
men.

SALO
I made that up. I'm not bringing up my son's to be good. I'd rip my
son's head off if he was good. I'd kill myself.

INT. THE HAREM - DAY

In the harem some wives look at a play pen of their children. Salo and
Emtsy watch smugly. As well as TREFERI, one of Satan's wives. Seven
boys play. Most under 10.

TREFERI
It's sweet.

EMTSY
Yes.

TREFERI
Look, those two, it's funny the way they try to be good, not wanting to
bully. Not like the others. What happens when they grow up? They become
psychopaths, bullies.

EMTSY smiles sneeringly.

EMTSY
Thank God.

TREFERI
Yes.

SALO
The last thing we need's nice men. Imagine what a bland, tedious, world
we'd inhabit. Sex would be awful.
Look at your son, woosy. What a tedious child. I want to punch his
fucking face in.

EMTSY
I meant to have a word Treferi. It's your son. Look at him. He's nearly
ten yet acts good like a woman.

TREFERI
I need more time. He's slow to pick this up. He's simple. He cries in
confusion.

EMTSY
He's pathetic. We know what he'll grow to. We have to do this. It's OK
we'll get a man to do it. Probably our husband if he's the time so
there's no reason to feel guilt.

SALO
Your son's one of those faces you want to punch.

Salo walk over to Treferi's son and hit's him in face.
Boy sits down and cries.

SALO
He was asking for it. Why do weak men like you live and poison the
ideal of men as strong heroic, brave, ruthless, evil warriors? Why
can't I kill your son? He gets on my nerves. He'll grow into one of
those creepy weirdoes. The other boys'll bully him make him sad. They
expect people to feel sorry for them. I hate them. If our husband
doesn't come soon I'll strangle it. It's like when I was a teacher and
there were weak kids you must kill for annoying you by being
weak.

LITTLE BOY
Mother, please tell Salo to stop hitting me.

TERFERI
She's just a different opinion.

LITTLE BOY
But she wants to kill me for being weak.

SALO
Are you for real?

His Majesty Satan walks into harem. Harem in awe.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
Have you done as I asked?

EMTSY
I was getting to it.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
We can't produce weakness.

His Majesty Satan walks over to Little Boy. Sneers in disgusted
manner.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
I can't remember your name. You humiliate me by weakness.
You had a chance. Yet fail to portray manly instincts to kill, rape,
bully. Like you inherited feminize weakness.

Turns to Treferi.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
Should we kill him in front of the others or on his own?

Salo starts to act as if she doesn't want to kill the Little Boy. This
is an act to give the impression to her husband she is feminine and
good to give impression she has feminine qualities. Act is insincere
she's laughing as she talks almost sexually ecstatic.

SALO
No. Don't do it. No. It's too bad.
(continues laugh)

TREFERI
I don't care. Such weakness, so harmless, kind. Just don't let me see
it alive.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
I don't want him.

Satan, Salo, Treferi, Emtsy laugh like sneering bullies at a
victim.

TREFERI
Leave him in the wild to starve.

EMTSY
But what if someone finds and saves him?

SALO
This is awful. As a woman I really don't like this but I suppose being
a big strong ruthless man you can't help it.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
To shed blood's my duty.

His Majesty Satan pulls out sword and kills Little Boy.

The women look in awe at violence. His Majesty Satan walks from
room.

SALO
(heavy ecstatic breath)
What a man.

EMTSY
You realise Treferi this means you're weak you produced weak children
so must die.

TREFERI
That's my duty.

EMTSY
I'll miss your company. But I can't say you don't deserve this.
Burden.

SALO
Who'll clean this up? We'll put the head in Satan's skull chamber as a
display of manliness. It's one of his younger ones.

TREFERI
I owe it to his majesty to clean this up.
I'll wash my child's head for his skull to be placed in the chamber. A
last honour.

SALO
I wish I'd killed your son. I could place his head in my chamber.

EMTSY
Yes. You're a strong woman, you show Treferi's child how much you hated
his weakness. Seeing him crying was hilarious.

SALO
I don't suffer fools gladly. I hate them. I hate weak women. That's why
I hate you. Treferi you made this creep. I'll kill you.

TREFERI
All harem women adore you. Men are evil bullies. You must show women
can be evil.

SALO
I'll train myself. I'll learn how to fight and kill. I'll show all men.
I can be as evil as them. They'll admire women.

TREFERI
That's the thing about you. You're strong. You've no sympathy, empathy
you're ruthless. You say how it is. If you see
weakness you say the things we want to say.

CURSLE
No we don't. This is awful, how can you kill your own son for being
weak.

Salo punches Cursle.

TREFERI
Strange. Anyway, I'll clean my dead son's skull and put it in the skull
chamber. I'm sure it's what my son would've wanted. The man who killed
him lives joyfully, forgiven by his mother, admired as a real
man.

EUNUCH walks to Salo.

EUNUCH
Madam, one of your son's has raped and murdered a young girl from the
capital.

SALO
(laughs sneering)
My twelve year old son, Dertho.
Boys will be boys.

CURSLE
He's killed and raped someone aren't you going to stop him

SALO
What kind of sicko are you. Punishing kids for doing what kids do.
What'll you be like when your older, probably like those scary sad old
women we like to smash the face in for complaining about us bullying
them. It's kids having fun. You know wrecking other kid's lives. The
victims don't matter what matters is the bully's enjoyment.

CURSLE
But you just killed someone for being weak. You just insulted him and
made his life hell for being weak and good.

SALO
He was weak. I only care about bullies.

EXT. THE STREETS - DAY.

Padour alone in urban area of city. Then he walks into a sparse street
but a crowd of men are sitting on steps of a bank. He is bitter. He
walks past men.

PADOUR
You men are evil. How can you support this?

The men grow angry.

GROUP MAN ONE
Kill him.

Padour kills 4 of them. Other runs off. One left dying on floor.

GROUP MAN ONE
(dying in agony)
Pain is my reward for weakness. I owe you apology, great man. You have
my wife.

PADOUR
Tell me where your leader's place is.

GROUP MAN ONE
The tall building.

PADOUR
I kill your leader.

GROUP MAN ONE
Traitor.

Group Man One dies.

INT. THE CELLS - DAY

Ebrie, Uriop are in adjourning cells to the one of Ketrin.

Chief Reporter arrives to interview them. Chief Reporter talks too,
Ebrie

CHIEF REPORTER
Uriop told me of your world.
A world of wimps, do-gooders where weak men rule to suit their weak
needs. Women forced to marry good. While real men, murders, rapists,
bullies are punished.
How do you expect to evolve to perfection?

EBRIE
Men don't rule it. People are equal.
We want good to win. Women aren't forced to marry good men. Women love
good men. They want good to win. They hate bullies. If they found out
their husband was a bully, they'd hate him. They see evil as
enemy.

CHIEF REPORTER
(laughs)
That's what they tell you. But I'm sure they fantasise about bad boys.
They can't resist.

EBRIE
This world's sick. Your men aren't real men they're evil. Evil doesn't
define manliness.

CHIEF REPORTER
Everyone knows good men can't do sex.

EBRIE
What?

CHIEF REPORTER
The more evil you are the better you are at sex. A serial killer,
rapist, paedophile is more sexually sophisticated than any man. Good
men are incapable of sex. Testosterone makes you evil.

EBRIE
That's not true you. It's nothing to do with testosterone making people
evil. Testosterone has no affect on how evil you decide to be. There
are women who commit evil. You're evil that isn't testosterone.
Testosterone has no affect on how evil or aggressive you'll be.

CHIEF REPORTER
The more evil you are the more testosterone you have the more
testosterone you have the more you desire sex. So a murderer is the
most demanding of all.

EBRIE
Very convenient, pretend good men are sexually less demanding, it's a
lie by evil women to justify why they want evil men.
Good guys can be more sexually demanding but you don't want us cause
you're evil and search for excuses on why you love evil.

CHIEF REPORTER
You can't imagine the sensation when bad boys fuck you knowing your
children will be as ruthless and evil.

EBRIE
You're evil that's all this is. You shouldn't love them don't make them
win.

CHIEF REPORTER
There's something extra about bad boys something wild, free,
liberated.

EBRIE
I know what that something extra is, evil and you want to make it win.
You think it's a positive skill to pass down. You're evil.

CHIEF REPORTER
Your opinion isn't important. What is, is you'll fight our lord Satan
on fight night. Your skull will be placed in the chamber.

Three guards walk into chamber. Uriop, Ketrin and Ebrie are released
from their cells.

CHIEF REPORTER
You'll be taken to the arena cells. There you'll wait to fight Satan in
the arena. A fight to death. Eight others will fight. Satan will show
his manly power.

EXT. PALACE GATES - DAY

Padour walks up to palace walls. He climbs wall. Then sees palace is
far larger than he imagined. From outside it looked 100 m high a few
hundred metres within walls of palace but on top of wall he looks upon
a cavern 600m deep. Only the top of palace could be seen from outside.
It rises 700m above cavern floor. Palace is huge yet light still gets
in to show green gardens on different layers of palace. People can be
seen walking on different layers of palace. Mote surrounds palace. Then
gardens. Walls at bottom are met by caves. Cavern stretches off for
mile to reveal sea. Birds glide over palace. Padour looks for how to
get down palace walls. Then sees a few hundred metres away one of the
cliffs are interrupted by forest, steep hillside leads down from
walls.
An old woman in her eighties walks past and sees Padour sitting on the
walls
No one else is near. She is on the non-palace side of walls.

PADOUR
What is this?

OLD WOMAN
It's Satan's palace.

PADOUR
It's beautiful.

OLD WOMAN
It was built before Satan came to power in the days of our
dictator.

PADOUR
It could be destroyed by water coming in.

OLD WOMAN
I wish.

PADOUR
Do you support Satan?

OLD WOMAN
Certainly not and I don't care what anyone thinks of me for that he's
an evil ruler.

PADOUR
I must kill him.

EXT. FORREST - DAY

Padour walks down the forest towards palace.

EXT. GARDENS - DAY

Padour arrives at gardens. Looks across, sees no one. Walks to mote
then reaches mote.

EXT. MOTE - DAY

Padour walks across bridge over mote. Then enters by stairway into
palace.

INT. THE PALACE - DAY

Padour walks through palace corridors where he meets a woman.

PADOUR
Are you Satan's wife?

MAID
No but I'm one of his mistresses.

Padour stabs into maid a long sword.

PADOUR
(angry)
That's your punishment for loving evil men. You think we should forgive
you, admire you for forgiving evil using that logic you'd expect women
to love me for killing you.

Maid falls over half dead. Padour walks up some more steps of the
palace further up. There he sees MAID 2. Maid 2 look at him
suspiciously.

MAID 2
Are you a guard or a weak man?

PADOUR
Are you one of Satan's?

MAID 2
(screams )
Impostor.

She smiles.

Two guards run into corridor

MAID 2
A slave.

PADOUR
I'm no slave.

Padour stabs two guards they fall dead.

MAID 2
(anxious)
You're mad what've you done?

Padour stabs Maid 2 in her stomach.

PADOUR
You love evil men even if they cause you pain as it means they're
ruthless. You want to inherit their evil power for your children.
You want to reward them make them win. You encourage them to commit
evil. You love them for wrecking lives because you want your children
to be as such. All the time creating more evil men encouraging,
rewarding, persuading them to be evil then you sneer in pride at pain
they cause.
We never pay attention to how evil you are.
Pretending you're innocent bystanders pretend you can't help but love
evil men
because of your evil excuse that they're more masculine for being evil
so you can't resist them. An evil lie. It's just you want evil to win
so you choose evil men.
You sneer at good men telling us how bland, trivial we are, you want
real men. Excruciating remarks on how exciting you find it when they
torture. This is torture. You're feeling the pain, fear your evil men
cause. You admire them when they do to others. You think I should let
you off to breed more evil. So you benefit but no punishment. You
encourage evil, pretend you can't help it that you're some poor little
woman who can't help falling for bad boys but you're the root of evil.
Face punishment.

MAID 2
Have mercy.

PADOUR
(venomous)
You can't reward evil and expect me to think evil's nothing to do with
you.
Where's Satan's harem?

MAID 2
(whispers)
Never betray Satan.

PADOUR
Loyal to evil. Who cares I'll kill him anyway.

Padour stabs Maid 2 in face killing her. Padour walks on down
corridor

In the scene of first maid killing a guard finds her. She is still
vaguely alive.

GUARD ONE

HERET

Padour walks over to the two.

PADOUR
You married an evil man you reward him. You love the pain they
cause.

HERET
(interrupts)
Yes.

Three guards arrive at entrance to garden.

Identify yourself.

Padour stabs Guard Two and quickly stabs other one. Heret looks on in
awe.

HERET

HERET SISTER

More guards arrive. Padour runs to edge of garden looks down as guards
follow him and jumps off garden to garden below.

EXT. LOWER PALACE GARDENS - DAY

Garden full of people drinking, looking elegant. Padour runs through
crowd as guards are held up.

GUARD THREE
Stop that man He's a psychopath.

Guests OOH and CHEER.

As Padour runs through garden he lashes out at some for cheering. Yet
as they are stabbed they're more admiring of his evil. He runs out of
garden to be met by Heret.

HERET
Follow me.

Heret leads him of to her bedroom.

HERET

HERET
Come out know.

PADOUR
You're Satan's bride.

HERET
He protects me. But you're strong. Fuck me.

PADOUR
Where's the harem.

HERET
A tower above the garden.

Heret walks to window and points outside.

PADOUR
I'll kill his evil woman.

HERET
You're ruthless.

PADOUR
(desperate tired frustration)
You women of this world are evil. You worship evil men. I must kill his
evil brides.

HERET
Calm down. I love you.

PADOUR
All you've seen me do is kill.

HERET
I love you.

PADOUR
What about the tower defences.

HERET
Too much but you can attack his skull chamber where his wives put his
victim's skulls.

PADOUR
Where's is it?

HERET
Over there.
Heret points to other side of cavern a smaller building.

HERET
I'll get you past the guards.

PADOUR
You'd betray me for a stronger man.

HERET
Please have sex with me. You're so bad.

Heret is stabbed in heart by Padour.

PADOUR
I can't reward evil.

Padour climbs through window. Then sees a 30 ft drop. He jumps into
mote.

EXT. THE MOTE - DAY

Padour swims mote.

EXT. THE GARDENS - DAY

Padour runs through forest and mazes to reach skull chamber.

EXT. OUTSIDE SKULL CHAMBER - DAY

Padour arrives at chamber. Three guards guard entrance. Padour runs up

Then runs to entrance of chamber. He opens door to enter.

INT. PALACE CORRIDORS - DAY

Heret Sister talks to a friend.

HERET SISTER
He managed to kill my sister it's amazing he's killed maybe 10 guards
two maids and my sister. He's so dangerous, a winner.

HERET SISTER PAL
Even Satan fears him. No woman resists such men his children will be
unstoppable.

INT. THE SKULL CHAMBER - DAY

Padour walks into chamber. It is full of thousands of skulls in rows,
with photos. Information about the victim's death. Padour looks
horrified as he looks at one of the notes. A man stabbed through heart
beaten dead. Father of two children killed his wife taken for Satan.
Padour hears voices it is Treferi and Salo.

TREFERI
Maybe we should do it in the arena before Satan kills other men

SALO
We'd be jokes. We must show I'm as bad as men. Make their spines tingle
in fear.

Padour runs to where he here's women talking. The two hear him running.
Padour runs into the long corridor of skulls skull row G2 where he sees
the two.

SALO
(grotesque anger)
Men aren't aloud here. It's for us to admire our husband.

PADOUR
Are you Satan's wife?

SALO
Yes. Now go or'll call the guards.

Padour runs to them within two feet he stops.

PADOUR
I'm Satan's guard. Why are you here?

SALO
(aggressive)
Idiot. It's so when we're fed up with Satan we can be reminded of what
a real, bullying, powerful man he is and hope our children inherit his
power. This is his victim.

PADOUR
It's small!

TREFERI
It was my child. My child was weak. Satan killed him to remove
weakness.

Padour pulls out his sword then stabs Treferi in stomach.

TREFERI
(screams in agony but quiet scream too weak to shout)
Satan why has this man shamed you?

Treferi falls to ground.

SALO
You look a bit of rough

PADOUR
How can you love such evil?

SALO
If we don't we'll produce a weak blandness.

PADOUR
But that's paradise everyone leading a wonderful happy carefree
life.

SALO
You're weak.

Padour grabs Salo by throat lifts her up, looks at her with venom, and
throws her far across floor.

SALO
(screams)
My ankle, help!

PADOUR
You said you liked pain.

SALO
Only to others, not to me. Get off me. You mad man. Men aren't meant to
hurt women.

PADOUR
You didn't mind with your friend.

SALO
Mad.

Padour stabs her in stomach.

SALO
(screams in pain)
Let me live.

PADOUR
Tell me where you keep prisoners where's my friend Ebrie?

SALO
Who?

PADOUR
The men to be killed by Satan.

SALO
Prisoners are kept in arena cells.

PADOUR
How can you love me hurting you?

SALO
(confused, whispers, in pain)
My children will be as ruthless.

PADOUR
I hear evil people love evil as it excites them, it makes their lives
more fun. This is how your excitement feels to your victims,
agony.
Does this excite you or would you prefer contentment as your victims
would instead of the horror you cause them. You talk as if when you
hurt victims you think they enjoy hurt. They don't this is how it
feels.

Padour stabs Salo in stomach continually time after time.

EMTSY.
Stop.

Emtsy puts her hand on the arm of her lover.

PADOUR
It's over.

EMTSY
You've struck terror in the palace. When they see us together they'll
fear us like no two before.

PADOUR
I killed the ones you told me too. They were weak. I brought the weak
man I told you of.

EMTSY
His Majesty's weak. He hasn't much longer and too many children who may
take my title. You must kill him. You're my love more ruthless than His
Majesty. How was the other world?

PADOUR
Weak men were worshiped for good.
Evil men punished for murder, rape. Women forced to love good. Even
bullies were hated something as trivial as bullying.

EMTSY
They're weak. But many of the women find you irresistible. Many of
their men would follow you to death. They desire liberation from their
tedious lives.

PADOUR
In prison I received letters. Women wanted me to love them. The more I
raped the more they wanted me.
Beneath the superficial shimmer of goodness lies a deep yearning for
evil. The people can't avoid it when they see pain they love what
causes it.
They're women desire to tame me, make me their beast on their leash
that they may let off on their beck and call. A dangerous creature
their children inherit power from.
They desire a warrior. To liberate them from tedium. Their men are like
women weak, merciful, unblooded they've not tasted blood on battlefield
or pleasure of rape.
Their women hate them for their weakness but fear consequence if they
admit.
They'll quiver before our might, our ferocious majestic strength they
desire like beasts. The ability to kill for their children is all they
seek from men.
We'll conquer their land with ease. We'll kill their weak men and
children. Their women will cheer losing burdens.
Even their strongest warriors will die like flies upon our swords. The
more they know of us the more they'll desire us.
The women may protest at first but like all women will succumb to manly
ways.

INT. HOUSE. Living Room - NIGHT

Suburban living room, family sit on sofa. They are comfy, ordinary for
this era, a clich?d family. They are watching a film of a gladiator
killing men with his sword.

PADOUR (v.o)
They watch films of warriors, men of death, murder. Yet fantasize their
tedious lives are nirvana. Yet no human resists his beastly desire to
rape and murder.

INT. SKULL CHAMBER - DAY

PADOUR
Every man's dream is to be Satan, every women's dream to have Satan's
children.
I feel sympathy for women never to have felt evil strength on them,
power of real men. What strange men are they to create such weak a
world of good?

EMTSY
It's worse some of their women desire weakness, goodness.
You'll kill your father. You'll be lord. In the fight His Majesty
expects to win but you'll take his wives the public will love you. The
rogue winning the crown is romantic.

PADOUR
Did the security cameras see my murders?

EMTSY
The act of saying you murdered as punishment for evil'll work to our
hands.

PADOUR
I must fight Ebrie. I want the honour of de-throating him. You don't
understand how nauseating it can be too spend two years with such pious
men.

EMTSY
I will ensure he fights you.

PADOUR
I admire my father Satan. A man of wisdom, ruthless power but it's my
destiny to kill him to kill his children take his wives.

EMTSY
You must be captured to fight Satan.
I'll leave through the tunnel. You leave by the front you'll be
captured at Satan's poetry reading. I ask you to kill the first guard
but run to the palace and be captured while they think you're rescuing
prisoners.

EXT. OUTSIDE SKULL CHAMBER - DAY

Padour leaves chamber to see two guards examining dead bodies of their
colleagues. Padour kills one then knocks other out. Then runs to
palace.

INT. HAREM - DAY

HERET SISTER
Rumour says he's killed more guards. He killed Salo and Treferi in the
skull chamber. The men are terrified.

ANROE
He's causing havoc he's a danger to Satan.
He's so exciting what an incredible man. It makes me feel glad to be
alive with such exciting rough men ready to strike death and bloodshed
at any moment. I heard he could garrotte men with his hand.
(stokes hand to throat like having an orgasm)
We're honoured to live in such psychopathic times. These sexually
satisfying men. Can you imagine such men having you with their manly
hands, hands he used for murder, rape, knowing your children will be as
evil.

HERET SISTER
Let's face it they're the men we love. We all love a little
badness.

ANROE
We know in a way. Men who abuse us aren't good for us but we can't
resist we must choose genes that win.

His Majesty Satan walks into the harem walks to Heret Sister.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
You saw the man who killed your sister. What did he say?

HERET SISTER
(sneering)
Why are you scared?

His Majesty picks up Heret Sister by throat and hauls her into pool.
His Majesty Satan runs to pool and puts Heret Sister's head under water
for a few seconds. Then lifts it up. Heret Sister gasps for
breath.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
Tell me?

HERET SISTER
He didn't speak. He ran past us.

His Majesty Satan ducks her head into water for more seconds. Then
lifts her head up.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
The guards saw he talked to you. Tell me what he said? You're nothing
to me.

HERET SISTER
Your Majesty I forgot how strong, ruthless you are. He asked where your
harem is. Then he told us we're evil for marrying you.

His Majesty Satan ducks her head into water.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
Then he's mad he believes in good. He thinks women can love good,
weakness, the disease of morality. Let this woman warn you. Of who is
power. Let me make you wet with desire knowing how evil I am and how
powerful your children will be. I do things other men would faint like
woman in horror at sight of sickening grotesque horror. I excite. Make
you cry in fear. Tonight I kill more of you. Who will it be? Does that
strike fear to you? How ruthless. I'll not remember you. That makes you
desire me more?

Anroe strokes her throat orgasmically.

ANROE
Your Majesty we chose you as leader we love you. You're powerful,
ruthless.

His Majesty Satan waves Heret Sister's head around then seems to open
her mouth while she is under water ensuring she takes in water. Women
look on in sexual awe.

ANROE
(sheepish)
Yes. You're bad. Please fuck me.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
I can't resist after such a virile experience.

He puts on a pretentious pose while holding Heret Sister under
water.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
(poetically)
Sweet parting of fine soul. Thy love may thy dance before the fires of
thy eternal flame. What am I but a tool for Satan's creation.

Harem APPLAUSE.

His Majesty Satan lets go of Heret Sister and allows her to float up.
Then he leaves water. As Heret Sister lies on water dead. FEROE is
another of Satan's wives.

FEROE
You've made us cum. You're so bad and ruthless no woman can
resist.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
I'll be reading my poetry on death and love and fighting. It's called
the fight for the love of a lady. Death to the burden of good.

FEROE
It would be an honour if we may attend. You ferocious man of power but
you have the poetic depth of killers that gives you deep intense
freedom to kill. Emotions weaker men flee from behind superficial
goodness.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
(snobbish anger)
I'm not interested in sex with you tonight, so you can stop the
sycophancy. Why can't woman like you see when a man wants you?

FEROE
My apology supreme evil of the universe but women find you irresistible
it's impossible to stop desiring you.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
Creep.

INT. THE ARENA CELLS - DAY

Ketrin, Ebrie and Uriop are chained up but in the same cell.
The room is bare water drops down the sides of the walls.

KETRIN
(Shyly, almost crying)
We don't have a chance His Majesty Satan has won every fight he's
fought.

EBRIE
If I hurt him it'll give you a chance.

KETRIN
(Shyly)
You won't get to hurt him. You can't understand how unbeatable he is no
man can compete. He'd beat me tied up.

URIOP
He's right the only way we can stop is by escaping. Fighting him's
impossible.

KETRIN
I can't beat this man. This is torture.

The sound of swords SMASHING from outside the cell. Cell door opens. It
is Padour.

PADOUR
Hurry escape.

Padour breaks chains using sword.

EBRIE
This world doesn't look so difficult.

URIOP
How did you pass the guards?

PADOUR
That isn't important hurry.

INT. HAREM - DAY

CURSLE
I don't want to marry Satan he's evil.

CHIEF REPORTER
You'll learn to admire Satan. All women do.

ANROE
I must tell you I'll be fighting tomorrow.

CHIEF REPORTER
What!

ANROE
Salo wanted to fight Treferi but as she's dead I'll take her place and
fight a boy.

CURSLE
This is evil. It isn't admirable.

ANROE
You see Satan as some ogre but when you meet him you'll be surprised at
his charm.

CURSLE
Who cares he's still evil that's what matters.

His Majesty Satan walks into harem.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
Cursle, I heard about you from Emtsy, you'll be my wife after I kill
your brother.

CURSLE
You're a psychopath.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
Emtsy was telling me you seem disturbed. You think I'm a two-headed
monster that breathes fire that I'm some creepy little man. Look I'm a
normal healthy strong man.

CURSLE
I don't think you're a monster. You're an evil murdering
psychopath.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
You'll learn to love.

CURSLE
So what if superficially you're normal, you're evil.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
This one's odd.

His Majesty leaves with Anroe.

INT. HAREM CORRIDORS - DAY

His Majesty Satan and Anroe walk down the corridor

ANROE
Good start. Once they realise you're not a scary monster. You're very
charming but aggressive. They love you.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
I know I've such extraordinary reputation among women, seeing I exist
in normal form's a start but if she continues I kill her.

ANROE
You're so manly.

and wives of rulers.

COMPERE stands on middle step on the steps to chairs.

COMPERE
Your honour, ladies, gentleman, Lord Chartour supreme commander of His
Majesty's army.
His Majesty called you here for his poetry reading. I'm sure you'll
love it's witty infectious gravitas articulating the horror of
goodness. It's erotic fantasies of murder and rape. It's powerful
ability to induce terror and multiple orgasms in women and admiration
and terror in men. A startling insight into one of the great minds of
our time. Critics described his work as the most moving, erotic, and
terrifying ever but pray let me not waste time. I introduce the warm up
act. Let us first have performances from top stand up comedians SIR
IRKY HOLE and CAROTLE and performances from chart toppers WER IRPOL and

They're good my kids have all their albums.

Carotle and Sir Irky Hole move out of crowd onto the middle steps and
begun their act.

SIR IRKY HOLE

CAROTLE

LORD CHARTOUR
Don't mention him.

CAROLTLE
I apologise excellency.

LORD CHARTOUR
I'll send you to the camps if you disobey.

SIR IRKY HOLE
Oh great war leader. We admire your bravery don't think we mean
insult.
(returns to act)
Don't you hate it when some disabled, shy, or nice bland guy's walking
down the street.

Audience LAUGH in agreement.

Carolte impersonates the way sad people walk.

Lord Chartour walks toward Carolte.

LORD CHARTOUR
I warned you not to bring disgusting people to the chamber, diseases,
for eradication.

Lord Chartour pulls out sword.

CAROLTE
We want to make them look stupid and make you hate them more.

LORD CHARTOUR
I see. This is wise, dehumanise scum so we've no pity for them.
Continue your act.
(forced laugh)

Cursle run down tunnel to escape.

INT. SATAN'S CHAMBER - NIGHT.

throats.

INT. PALACE CORRIDORS - NIGHT

PADOUR
Go this way.

EBRIE
But this leads further into the palace.

PADOUR
It leads somewhere we must see.

INT. SATAN'S CHAMBER - NIGHT

COMPERE
Thank you Nuclear Babes. Especially the bit about how you loved Satan
because he's a real man and how you're fed up with weak pathetic men
and how you want them to die.

NUCLEAR BABE ONE
(desperate spoilt anger)
It's true what's happened to the warriors, you keep them in the palace.
We want men like Wer Irpol outside. Men nowadays they agree with you
but they're weak. Where are the warriors, cowboys, rapists.

COMPERE
Now for the moment we're here for. Satan.

His Majesty Satan and Emtsy walk out from behind curtains to loud fan
fare, cameras flicker. Satan carries a thick book. Satan sits on regal
chair as Emtsy sits on other chair.

COMPERE
I bade farewell.

Compere walks into crowd.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
I congratulate Wer Irpol and Nuclear Babes. I'm keen to see the babes
in my bedchamber after my reading.

His Majesty Satan sits and opens book up. Turns to audience. Takes
pompous breath.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
What's love, a sexual feeling in admiration of strength, power, to
kill, murder. I supreme being are here to be loved, feared as god of
hell, god to fear in sexual awe among women, worship from men.

Audience APPLAUD.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
Fuck your wife, daughter, kill you, execute weak. Every women pity
good, hate weak. Once it said women could love by pity. It's cruel to
ask people to love weakness you call good. They want to win survive not
be dragged down. No woman loves goodness but find evil irresistible.
Evolution.

Audience APPLAUD.

INT. THE PALACE CORRIDORS - NIGHT

Above Satan's chamber Padour, Ebrie, Ketrin, Uriop and Cursle look down
through floorboards on chamber. Floorboards are above roof of
chamber.

EBRIE
This is horrific he worships evil men and thinks women do.

PADOUR
But you must admire the poetry's beauty?

EBRIE
What beauty? It's evil. They're terrifying.

PADOUR
Coward. We must seek evil and destroy.

Padour stands up and cuts rope hanging from roof of corridors.
Floorboard revealed as a lift that drops into Satan chamber. It falls
slowly the sound of wheel can be heard. As lift falls, five escapees
are stuck. In the chamber the crowd look up to see what is
happening.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
(fury)
Insolence.

PADOUR
Good evening. I hope you don't mind us interrupting with our own
repertoire?

Crowd SHOUTING outrage.

LORD CHARTOUR
I arrest you.

PADOUR
Well done, Chartour.

Lift continues to fall slowly. Down below soldiers gather to capture
escapees.

EBRIE
Padour, you've killed us.

Ketrin tries to climb ropes.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
Clear the way. These are my fight.

Soldiers gather from lift. The lift drops to floor.

PADOUR
Excuse my interrupting your poetry great ruler, but you see. I couldn't
help notice problems with your syntax, grammar, content, lacked that
subtle something needed in the finest poetry, can I place it, ah yes.
It's mind numbing crap.

His Majesty Satan stands up.

EMSTY
(restrained smirking)
This man must be killed in the arena. It's more fitting he die before a
crowd.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
You'll fight me in the arena. Ketrin. Ebrie.
I'll marry your women and kill you.

The five are led away by soldiers out of chamber.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
See how they run. Five of them. One of me.

INT. ARENA CELLS - NIGHT

Padour, Ketrin, Ebrie, Cursle, Uriop are chained in cells.

EBRIE
Why did you do this? We could've escape.

PADOUR
We needed to show opposition.

URIOP
Escaping would've shown that.

Chief Reporter opens door of cell to enter.

CHIEF REPORTER
Good evening scum. I hope you're happy you ruined a good night.
Mongish, weirdoes.

EBRIE
You're the evil thug.

Chief Reporter walks too Ketrin.

CHIEF REPORTER
I thought about what you said. I decided I love you. I'll help you
escape.

KETRIN
Really.

CHIEF REPORTER
Of course not. I hate you. I wanted to see your face react to
disappointment. All women hate weak men.
(laughs)
You're weak. You want to be Satan, but you can't so pretend you support
good. Stop worrying about good. You've chained yourself in moral
prison. Liberate yourself from intolerable guilt. If I had your guilt I
couldn't live all that murdering, bullying.

EBRIE
But we don't murder and bully that's how you get round guilt don't do
evil.
It isn't a prison anyway. So what if that's restrictive you shouldn't
wreck good people's lives. You shouldn't enjoy causing pain to good
people. There should be. Freedom to be evil isn't idealistic or good
it's evil.

CHIEF REPORTER
(groans in pain)
Pathetic.

EBRIE
I know what it is when bullies moan in agony at people they regard as
inferior. It's suppressing sympathy, compassion. When you moan in
agony, sneering at weak people. It's not moaning in disgust at weak,
difference. It's feelings of regret guilt showing through you don't
recognise you're conditioned to feel you should hurt them so you hit
but the feelings don't go.

CHIEF REPORTER
(laughs)
I know what guilt is I feel guilt when I hurt my husband or child. I
understand guilt and I don't feel it to weak people or inferiors. I
feel hatred to them before I hurt them.

EBRIE
I gave you a chance but you're evil.

CHIEF REPORTER
There's no such thing as good and evil. Goody two shoes.

PADOUR
Your husband will die. His blood spills from my crimson sword, fresh
regal river.

CHIEF REPORTER
I saw how he treated you in the chamber you ran from him. No man can
stand his power. You're jealous of His Majesty's power.

EBRIE
He's no real man. It isn't anything to with real men. He's evil.

CHIEF REPORTER
You Ketrin. I wonder how you'll fair tomorrow I'm sure he'll find you
difficult.
(laughs)
Always the quiet ones.

EBRIE
Why do you bully?

CHIEF REPORTER
Padour, I admire your bravery but you'll die tomorrow. The others have
no bravery, strength, normality. They're burdens.

EBRIE
How can you feel pride in committing evil?

CHIEF REPORTER
This is cute it's like when you bully school children. I was a school
bully so adult bullying's cute. Satan and I just haven't grown up still
kids raping, murdering.
(laughs, reminiscing)

EBRIE
Bullying's never cute.

CHIEF REPORTER
Oh come on not one of these like you pull someone's pony tales and they
start crying.

EBRIE
(angry)
That's traumatic. It's sounds trivial but it's humiliating bullying. If
someone did that to you as an adult in hatred to humiliate you. You'd
feel humiliated and you couldn't fight back cause they picked on you
cause they knew you wouldn't fight back. They know you're vulnerable.
Stop pretending it's trivial.
Children have the same pride, emotions as adults. You know if someone
did that too you it wouldn't be trivial. You bullies hurt people even
if you're skilful at bullying and make it llo trivial or one of those
bullies who do clear bullying social humiliation, taunting and pretend
it isn't bullying cause your victim's dehumanised scum to you.

URIOP
Yeah same old thing bullies hurting people, pretending it's trivial or
it doesn't matter well it does matter and you knew it. You cause life
long depression suicide in victims.

CHIEF REPORTER
This is the last time I see you.

Chief Reporter leaves and closes door behind her.

EBRIE
We've no chance.

PADOUR
No we do. I'll fight Satan. I'll weaken him. Maybe you Ketrin will
stand a chance?

Padour smiles sneeringly almost laughing. Then does

EBRIE
What's the matter?

PADOUR
I feel strong. Tomorrow is my creation.

INT. SATAN'S WAR ROOM - NIGHT

The room is a like a company board room. A war office room. Charts of
the territory adorn walls. Satan talks to Lord Chartour and
Emtsy.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
Tomorrow will be a simple battle.
How will the entrainment go?

LORD CHARTOUR
First a wild animal to fight. It's killed 3 of our best soldiers we'll
televise that on arena and TV screens before you fight the creature
then after you've killed that we've 3 men from slave camps found
working for the resistance. You'll kill them easily. Then a solider who
volunteered to fight. He's typically strong but you'll kill him with
ease then another slave. Then Padour then two guards. Then Ebrie and
Ketrin.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
Sounds fun. Ketrin's death's what people want. He's weak and good. His
psychiatrist and Haron will be given good views.

EMTSY
Don't forget some women'll be fighting too.
Anroe was saddened by the loss of Salo and we asked her to fight.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
I like the idea. I don't agree with women having the same jobs as men
but why select the best male fighters if we don't select the best
female fighters I may inherit weakness from weak women for my
children.

EMTSY
Most women should be good but all men should be evil but some evil
women's erotic.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
Bring Anroe and her blood soaked victim to my quarters after. I've some
fantasies to do.
What a woman. If you've any inadequacy Anroe'll tear you apart, torture
you dead remember the time she found a disabled child and we didn't see
her for three months she was off torturing. So refreshing.

LORD CHARTOUR
Lord. I leave for the city for women to rape. Men of the capital
support you but you get the odd one who think rape's wrong.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
Yes. Bring some guards.

EXT. PALACE ARENA - DAY

The arena is huge 70000 people watch. A TV audience watches glued to
events. Arena pitch is large enough for ocean liners to sail. It is of
dusty soil. With patches of forest and oasis scattered around
occasionally. The sun shines bright on the arena.

Compere speaks to the crowd.

COMPERE
Tonight we see our leader fight to death not once but 9 times. First I
introduce a new event. Women fighting children to death.

Crowd CHEER.

COMPERE

There's one fine lady. Why can't all ladies be evil. Must we put up
with nice women.
I'll dump my wife. Beat her, Kill her. Our children inherit her
weakness.

PUB MAN TWO
I like my wife to be nice.

PUB MAN THREE
I agree. But some women are so wimpy they couldn't even beat kids up.
Our son's inherit weakness why would we want them. They're useless.
There must be a point where women are removed.

PUB MAN ONE
That's why I'll kill my wife she's weak. We need real women real
fighters. Survival of the fittest. They should fight to death. How do
weak women expect us to find them sexually attractive? Sex is an
emotion for selecting ruthless bullies.

A frustrating groan comes from the pub men as Ketrin is shown on
TV.

PUB MAN THREE
Look the tedious creep. I'll punch his face. Oh by the way. Lord
Chartour's sending me videos of the time Chartour raped my wife.

PUB MAN ONE
Ketrin reminds me of guys we bullied at school. Remember Lord Chartour
at school. What a guy he once broke my arm. He still hates me as I'm
weak. What a man.

PUB MAN TWO
Ketrin's the type of guy who hates people who bullied him more than
inferiors.

PADOUR
You're the word on the street. But mind you. You don't write your own

pretend he's a genius.

WER IRPOL
How dare you.

Wer Irpol lunges at Padour. As he does Padour flicks his sword out of

due to microphones dotted round stadium.

EBRIE
How can you admire this man he's evil?

Crowd CHEER.

COMPERE
We've no reason to listen to rants

EBRIE
You do. What about compassion, empathy?

COMPERE
Men should be evil.

EBRIE
Padour you've been to my world tell them.

Padour starts to chop down tree with sword.

EBRIE
What?

Ebrie tries to climb down. He jumps in other direction as tree falls.
Tree now is barrier between Ebrie and Padour.

EBRIE
God please stop. I can't win. Please stop.

Crowd CHEER.

Emtsy stands up in crowd.

EMTSY
I visited your world as I told Padour to. A strange world where
weakness is tolerated even loved. Women forced to suppress natural
desires for evil. The best men locked in camps while weak men are
treated as heroes. It's called good. Men taught to behave like weak
pitiful grovelling worms.

Crowd makes noises of shock.

EMTSY
A man was found guilty of raping 14 women. His wife loved him but the
others locked him up in fear, fearing strength, jealous of power, of
manliness.

EBRIE
He was evil. He'd hurt women.

EMTSY
Padour received love letters from fans but they're seen as wrong for
giving in to desires no women can suppress
Ebrie. Your world's barbaric because weakness has conquered your
world.

Crowd BOO at Ebrie.

EBRIE
That's not all. In our world we hate bullying, snobbery. Women aren't
forced to hate evil they do that because they more than men hate evil.
You can't understand. This sounds barbaric this sounds base. I
shouldn't need to say it. If women desired evil then so would men I'd
desire evil and I don't so it can't be true. You decided what to
love.

Padour appears from behind tree. Padour runs at Ebrie. Ebrie runs round
tree. He forces his way under branches for protection.

PADOUR
Bring fire.

Crowd CHEER.

Ebrie makes his way out of tree.

PADOUR
Burn it, it'll give him less chance to escape.

Guards light tree.

Ebrie runs from Padour and jumps into an oasis in the dusty arena one
surrounded by small palm trees. As he does he sinks, pulled down by
sword.

EXT. INSIDE OASIS - DAY

The water is deep. Carrying a heavy sword, Ebrie sinks. The water is
clear then he sees a passageway leading like a clear bright tunnel.
Water seems brighter than other areas of oasis but Ebrie is running out
of air. He lets go of sword and rises up.

EXT. SURFACE OF OASIS - DAY

Ebrie looks across oasis to see Padour staring at him, from banks of
oasis.

Crowd CHEER.

EBRIE
Why do you want to kill me?

Padour jumps in oasis. Then swims after Ebrie. Ebrie swims from water
to run off as Padour follows. As Padour swims last few metres Ebrie
sees rock on bank. Ebrie throws it at Padour. Rock hits Padour. Padour
cut. For a moment he seems troubled but regains composure and carries
on. Ebrie runs toward His Majesty Satan. Now lying on floor still alive
with Chief Reporter. Ebrie runs to His Majesty Satan pushes Chief
Reporter off, grabs His Majesty Satan by neck and shouts at
Padour.

EBRIE
(passionate realisation, spitting words).
If I kill him. I become ruler. I'll change things. Stop this
madness.

PADOUR
It's irrelevant if you kill my father. I've defeated him I'm the new
Satan.

Padour closes on Ebrie.

EBRIE
Please have pity on me. I don't want death.

PADOUR
Your grovelling won't save you.

EBRIE
(sudden realisation)
But if he's your father, you're his son?

PADOUR
I'd guessed that.

EBRIE
That means you must die. The children of defeated men must die for they
inherit weakness.

PADOUR
Not if I kill him.

EBRIE
I shall kill him.

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
Son, kill me.

Ebrie pull's on His Majesty Satan's head breaking his neck.

PADOUR
(crying anger)
No

HIS MAJESTY SATAN
(last dying words)
Now all my children are dead.
His Majesty Satan dies.

Padour draws his sword into His Majesty Satan's face.
Ebrie walks back running backwards as if he is falling upwards.

EBRIE
I've killed him I'm the ruler.

Padour draws sword into Ebrie. Padour pulls his own sword into
himself.

PADOUR
I child of weakness, must die.

Padour and Ebrie fall to knees.

PADOUR
I die by my brave warrior. Two great battlers rulers of a great empire
die by my sword. What sweet death.

EBRIE
Psychopath.

EXT. ARENA CROWD - DAY

Emtsy talks to Lord Chartour now sitting beside her.

EMTSY
If our emperor's died who's the emperor?

LORD CHARTOUR
Who ever was next in line for the throne.

EMSTY
All Satan's children were killed.

LORD CHARTOUR
I'll consult our expert.

LORD CHARTOUR
(to Lord Frier)
What's the constitutional situation?

LORD FRIER
Who ever is next to fight win's the throne.

LORD CHARTOUR

Ketrin brought onto pitch.

COMPERE

Crowd muted.

CROWD PERSON

Look of disgust entrenches Emtsy's face.

LORD CHARTOUR
We must kill him he's weak, good.

Other wives look disgusted at sight of such a man.

CHIEF REPORTER
Why would we want you? You're weak and good. You're a woman. Have you
killed?

KETRIN
No. I'm proud of that.

CHIEF REPORTER
Have you raped?

KETRIN
No I find that beneath any evil imaginable.

CHIEF REPORTER
Tell me you've beaten vulnerable people from manly desires to cause
suffering. Tell me you bullied people at school.

KETRIN
No. Although I've been a victim of such attacks from snide bullying
thugs.

Chief Reporter shakes.

CHIEF REPORTER
You make my skin crawl. I can't marry you I can't have sex with you the
idea of sex with good men's sick.
It is shame such great men as Satan die childless. Yet weak men
live.

KETRIN
Why can't good men be fathers?

CHIEF REPORTER
(laughs hysterically)
You a father! What kind of father would you be? Father's must be
terrifying they should kill children if they're weak. You'd be pitiful
and would pass on weakness. I can understand concern at great evil men
not continuing their line but weakness like you. No one expects you to
have children no woman would want weakness.

COMPERE
A resolution's been passed. The harem's ordered a new fight.

Crowd ROARS.

KETRIN
This isn't fair. Stop this evil.

COMPERE
His leader of his majesty's army, supreme leader, imperial
protectorate, his lord supreme excellency Lord Chartour.

Crowd CHEER wildly.

KETRIN
He's bound to win.

EMTSY
That's the idea.

KETRIN
I know you want an unhappy ending to this as you're evil. Don't pretend
it's artistic novelty it's cause you're evil. You want the bad guy to
win cause you're the bad guy.

Lord Chartour appears on arena pitch, dressed in armour.

LORD CHARTOUR
Die. Like so many others on my sword.

EMTSY
He's so brave to our ideals.

KETRIN
I'm a good, why support him?

EMTSY
Die, weakness.

KETRIN
Why can't you learn to love good, be turned on by it. I know good's a
weakness and someone once said it impossible to love men out of
sympathy but why can't you.

Crowd GROAN in agony.

KETRIN
(almost crying)
Why do you want to kill me what have I done to deserve this?

LORD CHARTOUR
It's a dog eat dog world.

KETRIN
I can't be a martyr you don't understand martyrs. I wouldn't want to
die anyway. This is just a story it can make good win.

LORD CHARTOUR
I'll catch you. You'll die if it takes all night.

KETRIN
Follow me people. Follow me to a new world where good wins where evil
is punished, follow me.

EMTSY
Get on with it Lord Chartour.

LORD CHARTOUR
One fatal blow is all I need to sweep your sodden blood drench your
face. Drink fresh red juice from a dead body of a conquered victim. No
man resists such pleasure.

KETRIN
I'm proud to be weak it's part of my identity I'm proud to be good.
Maybe I'm scum but I'm good scum. I'm not the one with something to be
ashamed of. Evil's the only sin. Everything else's good or
superficial.

Ketrin runs behind the large circular oasis. Lord Chartour reaches
other side.
Crowd throw things at Ketrin coins, fruits, knives.

KETRIN
Why support evil?

COMPERE
We hate weakness. We must punch it.

EMTSY
You don't realise how annoying good men like you are. You keep seeing
life in terms of good v evil. See it as normal v sad, winners v losers,
cool v sad, popular v unpopular. Then you'll see why we hate you. Why
people like you annoy us. You insult us with your grovelling
weakness.

KETRIN
But you shouldn't hate people for being losers, creepy, sad ugly that's
all superficial that isn't how to judge.

EMTSY
