The One About The Voodoo Curse (Part 2)

1.  EXT.  SUNNYSIDE SHOPPING CENTRE.  NIGHT.

We see CRYSTAL watching The Angel pub, in the Outer Piazza, from a distance - waiting to see if there will be any effect of the Voodoo curse she has placed on the pub's landlord. We see from her point of view two people outside having a smoke.  An ambulance, by the by, is parked nearby.

2.  EXT.  SUNNYSIDE SHOPPING CENTRE.  NIGHT.

We cut to the two people - LENA and BEN - outside The Angel.  Just catch a sign in the window behind them, which says 'Lost Suitcase - Last Wednesday - Call 07899 552133 - Reward.'

This scene, and those that follow - The One About Belief, Binge Drinkers, West is Best (Parts 1 & 2) and Roxanne - all happen pretty much simultaneously. The centre of focus is really CRYSTAL and the effect of her voodoo curse on the pub's landlord.

LENA, late 20s, was last seen talking with her mate MICHELLE in The One About Leap Year.  BEN, also in his 20s, is another friend.

LENA
Inspiration, focus and determination.

BEN
That's right.

LENA
That's what it was.  (A moment)  That's
strange.  (She has noticed an old woman
in a wedding dress, watching them)

BEN
What is?

LENA
That old lady standing over there.

LENA and BEN look at the old lady in the distance.  As they do so, a HOODIE rides past on a fluorescent green Kawasaki push-bike.

It is some time later. We are back with CRYSTAL and her point of view of The Angel.  And then the door opens, and PARAMEDICS are seen bringing a person on a stretcher out of the pub, an oxygen mask strapped to his face. CRYSTAL freezes, complete shock on her face.  The PARAMEDICS rush out of shot to the waiting ambulance.
