'THE TALES OF RED AND WHITE'
TEASER
OVER BLACK.FADE IN:
INT. LANDLORD’S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT - 937 A.D. - FLASHBACK
ON THE SCREEN IT READS:
‘NORTH FRANCE, 937 A.D.’
THE CAMERA slowly moves all over the house. It’s a house from the 10th century where a wealthy family lives. The living room is clean, not a single piece out of place.
SOUND - A woman screaming.
THE CAMERA keeps moving slowly until it shows a little girl sitting on the couch. She should be no older than four years old. The girl with long dark hair beautifully combed into two braids on the sides of the head and wears a long red tunic. Her eyes are green and her lips are red.
The little girl plays with a cloth doll and seems to be nonchalant towards the screams that come from another room.
Near the girl, pacing the room, worried, it is an elegant man (BALIAN, 30’s), a wealthy landlord and father of this little girl.
Soon, the woman’s screams are replaced by a baby’s cry. As soon as it’s heard, the man’s expression lightens up with joy and then, he leaves the room quickly.
The girl seems to not care and keeps playing with the doll.
OFF TO A SERVANT - She comes into the living room and walks immediately towards the girl.
SERVANT
Lady Ruby.
BEAT. The little girl is no other than Ruby when a child.
SERVANT (CONT'D)
Your baby sister has been born.
ON RUBY’S FACE - Her expression hardens. Like she wasn’t given a good new.
SERVANT (CONT'D)
Let’s go.
The servant takes little Ruby’s hand and drags her out. As she’s leaving, Ruby keeps the serious expression in her face.
CUT TO:
INT. LANDLORD’S HOUSE - MAIN BEDROOM - NIGHT - 937 - FLASHBACKOn the bed is a beautiful woman (ROSCELINE, 30’s) who just gave birth. Beside her, in the edge of the bed, is Balian, her husband. The MIDWIFE walks towards the bed and hands Rosceline the baby already wrapped with a white blanket.
OFF TO THE DOOR - It opens and the servant comes in holding Ruby’s hands.
Balian and Rosceline look at their eldest daughter and smile.
ROSCELINE
Come, Ruby, come to me your sister.
Ruby stares at her parents in silence. The girl is serious. The servant drags her close to the bed.
BALIAN
(to little Ruby)
(to little Ruby)
Meet your sister; Blanche.
Balian and Rosceline couldn’t be happier. Now Ruby ---
Her eyes fix the little baby who rests peacefully in her mother’s lap.
ON RUBY’S FACE - Her greens eyes are fulfilled with a dark shadow.
FLASHES TO:
INT. PRESCOTT MANOR - THRONE ROOM - NIGHT - PRESENTON RUBY’S FACE - Her eyes. Now a grown-up woman, but the same darkness that fulfilled her eyes when she was a little girl, can still be seen now.
RUBY
It is official now.
Wyatt and Prue are sitting on the throne chairs. They are listening to Ruby. Also, Aisling is there.
RUBY (CONT'D)
Prescott Group belongs to the both of you now.
AISLING
(sarcastic)
How generous!
Ruby shoots Aisling a look. Then she turns to Wyatt and Prue.
RUBY
Most of the important companies in San Francisco are now under your commands.
WYATT
Very well. What about the rest?
RUBY
Every ruler of every nation of the world has made their decisions known to their people.
(pauses)
They support the single government that now begins.
PRUE
Yeah, but how is that? I mean, one doesn’t hand the power to another just like that.
RUBY
Your Majesty must understand that the energy emanating from both of you is too strong. They now are under your will. They don’t want to lose their heads.
AISLING
Let’s not forget that we are talking about politicians, the army, etc. There’s not a single good bone in most of them.
Ruby shoots Aisling another look. Aisling rolls her eyes. Ruby turns to Wyatt and Prue again.
RUBY
What she said.
WYATT
But that doesn’t work for everybody. There’s still good filling some people’s heart.
RUBY
And that must be eradicated.
PRUE
What do you mean?
RUBY
We must put an end on that.
Wyatt and Prue exchange glances.
OFF TO THE DOUBLE DOORS - They are opened. Two servants motion to Peri and Patience to come in. Following them is Jordan, using his normal face.
Ruby and Aisling turn to look at them and then Ruby turns back to Wyatt and Prue.
RUBY (CONT'D)
Here comes someone that has been helping me since I started this quest.
Wyatt looks at Jordan who approaches them as well as the twins. Jordan bows before Wyatt and Prue.
WYATT
Didn’t we vanquish you once?
RUBY
Your Majesty ---
Wyatt looks at Ruby.
RUBY (CONT'D)
--- I brought him back.
PRUE
Brought him back? How?
WYATT
I didn’t know you had powers to resurrect demons, Ruby.
RUBY
I don’t. But Jordan was created by me. He is what I call a Clay Demon.
PRUE
Clay Demon! That’s a new one!
AISLING
Always a surprise this Red Witch!
Ruby chooses to ignore Aisling’s comments now.
RUBY
It’s limited and there’s a whole ritual to be performed, but yes. I created them from clay.
PRUE
How many of those Clay Demons did you send to fight us?
RUBY
They had strict orders not to hurt you, Your Majesty.
PRUE
(sarcastic)
How noble of you!
WYATT
Let’s get back to important matters.
RUBY
Right. Jordan is under your commands.
WYATT
Very well. If Ruby trusts you, I trust you too.
Prue looks at Wyatt. She clearly didn’t like what he said.
WYATT (CONT'D)
You’ll be the head of security here in the United States. All heads of security around the world should report to you and therefore you report to me.
JORDAN
That sounds good for me, Your Majesty.
PRUE
Head of security? Wyatt, that’s too much for someone who tried to kill us.
JORDAN
In my defense, Queen Prudence ---
PRUE
Prue. Queen Prue.
JORDAN
Queen Prue.
Prue nods.
JORDAN (CONT'D)
I didn’t try to kill you.
RUBY
He was just following my instructions.
PRUE
What instructions? He killed a woman who was accused of murdering the last owner of this manor.
RUBY
Are you pity of it, Prue?
Prue stands. Her expression is hard. If she could, she would probably kill Ruby just by looking at her.
RUBY (CONT'D)
I’m sorry, Your Majesty.
PRUE
I don’t pity anything, Red Witch. I’m just stating some facts.
RUBY
Sure.
Both women stare at each other for seconds. Wyatt looks at them both and decides to change the subject.
WYATT
About the good people out there.
Ruby looks at Wyatt. Prue sits again.
RUBY
Well, I’ve learned from very trustable sources that ---
Ruby glances at Peri and Patience.
RUBY (CONT'D)
--- those good people, and that includes witches and all other beings from the magical community, will hide in places they call shelters of the rebels.
WYATT
Rebels?
Wyatt looks at Peri and Patience who nods.
RUBY
There are, or there will be some of them who keep protecting those rebels without fearing the consequences.
WYATT
Who?
RUBY
I think you know who, Your Majesty.
Wyatt and Ruby stare at each other for seconds.
WYATT
My family.
Ruby nods.
PERI
They are always trying to stop us from taking down a shelter.
PATIENCE
Yeah, and always working to protect the innocents and those who don’t want to accept the single World Government.
RUBY
We must eradicate them.
PRUE
You mean kill them?
RUBY
I didn’t say to kill, Your Majesty. I think we should make them understand what are the consequences for those who refuse to accept this new world. Otherwise, they won’t stop and we’ll end up having to deal with them trying to change what’s done.
(pauses)
If they join us, the others would follow. Not to mention your eldest daughter.
Prue stands again.
PRUE
I won’t move a finger to hurt my own blood.
Ruby and Prue stare at each other.
WYATT
Me neither, Ruby. It is my own blood. No matter what.
RUBY
Some punishments won’t kill them. At least think about it.
Prue and Wyatt exchange glances. Then Wyatt looks at Ruby.
WYATT
I will.
Prue shoots an incredulous look at Wyatt. Wyatt looks at her.
WYATT (CONT'D)
It’s punishment, not killing. They must understand, Prue.
Prue is serious.
PRUE
We’ll make them understand without hurting them. We’ll find a way.
Wyatt takes a deep breath and stands. He approaches Prue.
WYATT
We’ll find a way.
Prue smiles.
PRUE
Thank you.
Ruby looks at them. It’s clear the hate she feels inside.
ON RUBY’S FACE - Her green eyes filled with darkness.
CUT TO BLACK.
