YAHREH: GINA AND THE SILVER CHALICE

In Captive Deliverance, the FBI contacts Gina through a note. The note didn’t tell her who was watching her, but reading the note was enough. Read this excerpt of the screenplay YAHREH to find out what happens next.

FS GINA TO CU OF THE NOTE FLOATING TO THE FLOOR

Gina is sitting in her living room reading a book about Yellowstone National Park. She thumbs through a few pages when a piece of paper falls to the floor.

Gina leans down to pick up the note and reads it.

Gina, 
We found a video of you from twelve years ago. We think you may be in danger. Leave us messages in your Bible Study Book if you need to. Be careful, listen, and watch.

Gina reads the note several times. Then she starts to cry. She lifts her head with tears in her eyes,

GINA:
“Thank God!”

MS GINA TO FS CAMERA BACKING

She sits the book on the table next to her and gets up holding the note. She walks over to the entertainment center and picks up a silver chalice. She walks toward the kitchen.

FS CAMERA BACKING TO FS KITCHEN

Gina places the note in the chalice and sits it down on the stove underneath the exhaust fan. She pulls out a drawer and gets a box of matches.

OVER THE SHOULDER EYE-LEVEL ANGLE DOWN

She turns on the exhaust fan, lights a match, picks up the note and holds a corner of the note over the flame. When the flame starts getting close to her hand, she lets go of it and it lands in the silver chalice.

Thanksgiving Thought | Laveda D. Rockford

The beauty of it all gave me a piece of awe that you can only get when you know the love that was placed into such a sight as this. This is where my Cherokee ancestors lived. While there, I had the privilege of visiting the Museum of the Cherokee Indian in Cherokee, North Carolina. Between June 1838 through March 1839, approximately 16,000 Cherokee were removed from their tribal lands and relocated to Oklahoma. It is said that approximately 4,000 Cherokee died. My Great-Great Grandmother was six years old when she walked this trail. Her Mother, my Great-Great-Great Grandmother, was one of those 4
