Lead: Life was not as simple as it first seemed, the first thing one thinks when born is "what on earth is happening?!" or something along that line. Life then goes on to become an eventful adventure. After that, the world seems to end, problems form and life decisions are made. As an adult, life just seems to get tougher, things that are so familiar to us change, people move on and new paths are formed.
But some people are not able to move on, some are stuck in old ways and trauma. Even the most basic things could set some people off, noise, lights, loud sounds, nursery rhymes…
OS/VO: "Half a pound of tuppenny rice"
OS (A shadowy bound figure is thrown into the top of a silo by two other figures at night.)
Lead: One in particular has stuck with me throughout most of my life, it is what set me on my way to become world renowned, for all the wrong reasons…
News Reporter: "The unnamed serial killer has orchestrated another brutal and bizarre attack. This time inside of the Novermen treacle factory this evening. Their latest victim found deceased with molten treacle seeming to have been poured down the victims throat, as they screamed…"
Police Chief: "This is one of the most confusing and well thought out attacks we have ever dealt with in the history of the Novermen police…"
OS/VO: "Half a pound of treacle"
OS (Close up of victims face as molten boiling treacle is poured into wide screaming mouth, the screaming/gurgling/bubbling/hissing is heard in the background)
Lead: I had no reason for making these attacks play out lyrics of this particular nursery rhyme, I just find some sort of twisted fun from committing them. Ok, I have been paying others to supply 'tools' and to lend a hand in my obscene games, there is money mentioned in the rhyme after all...
I so far had eluded the police and government, as well as the everyday eye. I was practically a mist in the night…and all my victims 'weasels'…
SO/VO: "That's the way the money goes"
OS (shot of dark alleyway, close up of two black gloved hands as a wad of money is exchanged) (silent)
(Screen cuts to black and shows movie title)
(Last line of rhyme is played in music box like style, not spoken)
(Fin)
