(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO)

(LIGHTNING CRASHING)

'''Macha:''' (SIGHS) Ooh. You look wet and tired, human child.

'''Ben:''' Macha?

'''Macha:''' I am she.

'''Ben:''' Really? The Owl Witch from the stories?

(OWLS HOOTING) 

'''Macha:''' (CHUCKLING SOFTLY) Well, now, those stories always paint me as the bad one. But I'm not so terrible, you know. I'm just trying to help everyone.

'''Ben:''' Yeah, well, what's in all these jars then?

'''Macha:''' Just nasty things, you know. Nobody needs them.

'''Ben:''' I know you have my sister. Let her go!

'''Macha:''' Now, now, now, the selkie child is safe and sound. Don't you worry. I have taken good care of the poor little thing.

'''Ben:''' You're half turned to stone. Saoirse can help you. She can help all of you.

'''Macha:''' Ah, she can't help, not really help. Not the way I do. I see it, Ben, your pain. You're so full of emotions. I can see them in your face. Nasty, terrible things. They make you feel so awful. You worry so much for such a young boy, don't you? You lost your mother, didn't you? My son lost someone, too, a long time ago. But I found a way to help him. Now, if someone said that they could take that pain away, would you let them?

'''Ben:''' I suppose.

'''Macha:''' That's all I do, Ben. I take away the pain. It doesn't hurt. It will never hurt again.

'''Cu:''' (BARKING)

'''Ben:''' No, it doesn't help at all, it just makes things worse. Please, try to understand. We need your help.

'''Macha:''' (GRUMBLING) Don't take me for a fool! I know what's best for you!

'''Ben:''' Cu!

'''Macha:''' (GRUMBLING) Don't let them control you. Now see what I've become because of those terrible feelings. I'm sick of feelings that come bubbling up. (SIGHS) Excuse me. Where was I now?

'''Cu:''' (BARKING)

'''Ben:''' Cu!

'''Macha:''' Oh. Stubborn boy, where are you going?

(OWLS HOOTING)

'''Macha:''' Come down out of that, come here.

'''Ben:''' (Voice) I'm coming, Cu.

'''Macha:''' There's nothing up there that's any use to you. (PANTING) You'd be better off calming down and not getting too worked up, Ben.

'''Ben:''' Cu! You're standing on the door. Get off it!

'''Macha:''' Let me help you. 

'''Ben:''' (GRUNTING) (BEN SCREAMS) (GRUNTING) Good boy! Where's Saoirse? 

'''Cu:''' (WHIMPERING)

'''Ben:''' Oh, no. Saoirse. Wake up! She did this to you? 

'''Saoirse:''' (WHEEZING)

(BANGING ON DOOR) 

'''Macha:''' (Voice) You see how peaceful she is, Ben? You see how I have taken all her cares away? She is just as a child should be, without troubles, without worry.

'''Ben:''' There's got to be a way out. (EXCLAIMS) Macha, please, please? You don't understand. If she doesn't sing her song, she'll die. So will you, and your son, and all your kind.

'''Macha:''' (Voice) Open the door! At once. At once, I tell you!

(WHOOSHING)

'''Macha:''' (Voice) Do excuse my little outburst. 

'''Ben:''' If I can free your feelings, then maybe...

'''Cu:''' (WHINES) 

'''Ben:''' Sorry, Cu.

'''Macha:''' (Voice) Silly human child. The jars are enchanted, they cannot be broken by brute force.

'''Ben:''' The shell. It caused the jars to break before.

(SILENCE)

'''Macha:''' (Voice) There is no way out.

'''Ben:''' (INHALES SHARPLY)

'''Macha:''' (Voice) Open the door, human child.

'''Ben:''' Come here, Cu. Keep the old witch quiet, will you?

'''Macha:''' (Voice) (EXCLAIMING)

'''Ben:''' Good boy. (To Saoirse) Saoirse, I think you need to do it.

(MACHA POUNDING ON DOOR) 

'''Cu:''' (GROWLING)

'''Macha:''' (Voice) Let me in!

'''Ben:''' Saoirse? It's going to be okay.

'''Macha:''' (Voice) Let me in! 

'''Ben:''' It's okay, Saoirse. We don't have much time. I shouldn't have been so mean to you. It's not your fault, it never was. I should've been a better brother to you. I'm sorry.

'''Macha:''' (Voice) Let me in this minute!

'''Ben:''' (SINGING IN IRISH GAELIC)

''Idir ann is idir as'' (Between the here, between the now)

''Idir thuaidh is idir theas'' (Between the north, between the south)


(SAOIRSE PLAYING TUNE)

'''Cu:''' (BARKING) 

(POUNDING CONTINUES)

'''Ben:''' That's it, Saoirse!

'''Macha:''' (Voice) Let me in!

'''Ben:''' (Voice) You're doing it. That's it.

(OWLS SCREECHING)

'''Ben:''' (SCREAMS) (Voice) Come on, Saoirse!

'''Macha:''' Leave those jars alone.

'''Ben:''' (Voice) That's it, Saoirse!

'''Macha:''' (LAUGHING) Stop it! Stop it! (SOBBING)

'''Ben:''' (Voice) It's working, Saoirse.

'''Macha:''' Stop it. Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! (MACHA WAILING)

(Saoirse continues playing)

'''Macha:''' Stop! 

'''Ben:''' (SCREAMS)

(OWLS HOOTING)

'''Saoirse:''' (SIGHS)

'''Ben:''' You did it! You did it, Saoirse! (LAUGHS) Saoirse!

'''Cu:''' (WHINING) 

'''Ben:''' Oh, no. Oh, no, please stay awake, Saoirse, please.

'''Macha:''' (SOBBING) I have been so lost for so long.

'''Ben:''' Macha?

'''Macha:''' Please, forgive me. I couldn't bear to see my son suffering so much. I couldn't bear it.

'''Ben:''' Please, Macha, my sister is sick. Please, help us.

'''Macha:''' (SPEAKING IRISH GAELIC) You poor thing. What have I done? I've wasted the precious time you had left. You must reunite her with her coat before it's too late.

'''Ben:''' But we're still so far from home. Do you have a car?

'''Macha:''' (LAUGHING) A car! I have something better.
