Dated December 10, 1993
Written by Turi Meyer and Al Septien
89 INT. MANAGER'S OFFICE -CONTINUOUS
Cody has pushed the safe inside. Morty, still wearing the cuffs on one hand, has joined Cody in the office. He kneels at a desk and, using his robber's pick, gets out of the cuffs.
MORTY: Nice going, Cody! I'm real proud of you.
CODY: You alright?
MORTY: I thought hangovers were bad. Just hope nothing's broken.
Morty leans down to the safe and shakes it.
MORTY: (CONT'D) How's it feel, huh?
89A INT. SAFE - SAME TIME
The Leprechaun is shaken up in the safe.
LEPRECHAUN: Get me out of here!!
White sparks shoot up from his burning skin, in a strobe-like effect that momentarily illuminates the pitch black "cage".
89B INT. MANAGER'S OFFICE - SAME TIME
Morty bends down, laughing mischievously.
MORTY: What's wrong "Houdini"? Can't you get out?
CODY: Let's go get Bridget.
Morty looks around.
MORTY: Absolutely.
Morty takes a beat and looks around.
CODY: What is it?
MORTY: We still need a ramp to get this thing in the car.
CODY: There were some two by fours in the closet.
MORTY: Well, go get 'em!
Cody runs to the closet.
90 INT. STORAGE CLOSET - CONTINUOUS
Cody steps inside to pick up the two by fours when... the door closes behind him. Morty locks him inside the large utility closet.
91 INT. MANAGER'S OFFICE - CONTINUOUS
Cody looks back at Morty through a small window in the door of the closet.
CODY: what the hell are you doing?! Morty, you locked me in!
Morty goes back to the safe.
MORTY: (to safe) It's payback time.
Morty kneels down to the safe.
LEPRECHAUN: (O.S.) Let me out of here!!!
MORTY: Not yet. You know the routine. You're caught. You owe me three wishes.
92 INT. CLOSET - CONTINUOUS
Cody keeps banging on the door.
CODY: Morty --! We have to get to Bridget, NOW!
93 INT. OFFICE - CONTINUOUS
Morty turns to Cody.
MORTY: I know what I'm doing! (to Leprechaun) I want my three wishes!
CODY: Three wishes!? Morty, NO! You're screwing it all up!
MORTY: Don't worry! We'll all get what we want!
LEPRECHAUN: (O.S.) Open this door!!
Morty is relishing every second of this.
MORTY: First, my wishes! Now... I could ask for a million dollars. Even a billion dollars. But no. I think I'd like your crummy pot of gold!
Cody screams from inside the storage closet.
CODY: (INSIDE CLOSET) Morty, stop it!
Morty is ignoring Cody. He's caught up in the moment.
MORTY: Do you hear me in there? I want your gold!
94 INT. CLOSET - CONTINUOUS
CODY: Morty!! Don't do it! Let me out!
95 INT. OFFICE - CONTINUOUS
LEPRECHAUN: (O.S.) Oh, it's a greedy man that I'm dealing with.
From the closet, Cody is going ballistic. He keeps pounding.
CODY: Don't!!
Morty ignores Cody's pleas.
LEPRECHAUN: (O.S.) Are you sure you want it?
MORTY: (stern1y) My first wish is for the gold!
LEPRECHAUN: (O.S.) So be it.
Morty smiles, waiting for his prize.
MORTY: Well, where is it?
LEPRECHAUN: (O.S.) (mischievously) Oh, it's coming.
Suddenly, Morty feels a sharp pain in his stomach. He leans up against a desk, holding his midsection. His belly starts to grow. The pot of gold has been put inside of him. Morty realizes what's going on. He begins to scream in pain.
MORTY: Get it out of me! Get it out!
96 INT. CLOSET - CONTINUOUS
Cody watches on in horror, as Morty falls to the floor.
CODY: Oh, God!! Morty! ! No!!
97 INT. OFFICE - CONTINUOUS
Morty writhes on the floor, in front of the safe.
MORTY: Get it out!!
LEPRECHAUN: (O.S.) I can do it, but you have to let me out of this safe first. (beat) Do you wish me out of the safe?
MORTY: Yes, goddamn it!! Yes! I wish you out of the safe. (beat) Where the hell are you?
LEPRECHAUN: (O.S.) You'll have to open the door, it's wrought iron. Remember? Didn't you read the book?
In pain, Morty reaches up and starts to turn the combination.
98 INT. CLOSET - CONTINUOUS
Cody punches at the glass, repeatedly, it's too thick.
CODY: Stop it!! Morty!
Cody looks around the closet for something to break the glass.
99 INT. MANAGER'S OFFICE - FOLLOWING
Screaming in pain, Morty dials in the numbers. When finished, he opens up the safe door, and falls back, exhausted. The Leprechaun steps out. He dusts himself off and beams with pride.
LEPRECHAUN: Your second wish has been granted.
MORTY: (writhing in a panic) Get it out of me!
LEPRECHAUN; You see, you shouldn't be so greedy.
MORTY: come on!! Get it out, I said!
LEPRECHAUN: So, is that your wish?
MORTY: Yes, yes, yes. Get it out!! I wish you to get it out of me!
LEPRECHAUN: Very well.
The Leprechaun stands above Morty, holding up his sharp fingernails. Morty's eyes widen in horror as the Leprechaun rips open his belly (O.S.) with his bare hands. Morty screams louder than before.
100 INT. STORAGE CLOSET - SAME TIME
Cody yells at the window as he watches. He starts pulling cans of paint from a shelf, to break the glass. He notices that the shelf conceals a rear window.
101 INT. MANAGER'S OFFICE - SAME TIME
The Leprechaun holds his pot o' gold, proudly.
MORTY: (dying words) Help me.
LEPRECHAUN: Love to, friend. But you're all out of wishes.
Morty dies.
The Leprechaun laughs. With a wave of his hand, his crock disappears. A crash from the storage closet is heard. The Leprechaun looks to the door and it swings open magically. The closet is empty. The window, leading outside, is smashed open. Cody is gone. The Leprechaun growls and DISAPPEARS.
102 EXT. GRAND PRIX COMPOUND - FOLLOWING
Cody rushes around the building to the manager's office. He pulls the door open, quickly, and runs inside.
103 INT. MANAGER'S OFFICE. SAME TIME
Cody enters the office. He sees Morty, lying on the floor, dead. Cody rushes to the dead man's side. The Leprechaun is nowhere to be seen.
CODY: Morty! Come on, man! Why'd you do it? No. Don't die. Morty!! NOOO!
Cody realizes that he's too late. He looks up slowly. His blood is boiling. He carefully looks around the office and finds the wrought iron lamp he had earlier thrown at the Leprechaun. The base and bulb part have broken off, leaving a razor-sharp, deadly-looking jagged edge. He weighs it in his hands.
CODY: (CONT'D) All right, you little bastard, come and get me!
All of a sudden, CLICK. The barrel of a forty-five is pressed up against his temple. It's Wiggins, the security cop, holding the gun.
WIGGINS: Drop the weapon, you psycho.
CODY: I...
WIGGINS: Do it! Now!
Cody drops the iron base. Wiggins motions to Morty.
WIGGINS: (CONT'D) How many more people have you killed tonight?
CODY: What are you talking about?
WIGGINS: I know who you are! I saw you on the news. The whole town's looking for you. . Put your hands behind your head, stand up, and move. Slowly.
Cody obeys the order. He's led outside. *
104 EXT. GRAND PRIX COMPOUND - FOLLOWING
The door to the office slams open. Cody comes out first, with his hands behind his head. Wiggins follows, with his weapon aimed at Cody. They walk towards the parking lot.
WIGGINS: Don't try anything funny. I'm taking you in.
A woman crying is heard from the other side of the track.
LEPRECHAUN: (O.S.) (in a woman's voice) Help! Help me, please!!
Wiggins, panicked, looks out over the track. He doesn't see anyone.
CODY: It's a trick! Don't...
WIGGINS: Shut up! What kind of spree you on, sicko?!
CODY: No! It's the Lep...
The security cop clicks back the hammer on his .45.
WIGGINS: I'm not afraid to use this! Now take me to her!
LEPRECHAUN: (O.S.) (in woman's voice) Please. Hurry. That boy's hurt me.
WIGGINS: We're coming, ma'am!
Wiggins leads Cody towards the track.
105 EXT. TRACK - FOLLOWING
Cody, the gun to his head; is led out to the middle of the track.
CODY: Listen to me! Call for backup!
WIGGINS: Shut up!
Suddenly, the headlights of a go cart snap on. The cop squints. A loud cackle is heard.
WIGGINS: (CONT' D) What is this, a trick?
At the far side of the track, behind the wheel of the go cart, sits the Leprechaun. It is a Mad Max-like go cart from hell.
LEPRECHAUN: You'll not be taking the boy anywhere. I'll have me gold.
CLOSE UP
On the go cart's tires spinning violently. The cart is thrown into gear and screeches out of frame.
Wiggins and Cody are caught in the high beams of the go cart from hell. Wiggins positions himself on one knee for a shot. Cody runs off.
The go cart rushes toward Wiggins. He fires repeatedly at the go cart. Six shots and his gun is empty. Wiggins is frozen, like a deer caught in the headlights.
LEPRECHAUN: (laughing) You missed me!
WIGGINS: No!!!!!
Wiggins starts to run.
SHORT CHASE SEQUENCE
As the Leprechaun chuckles with glee, the go cart mows down Wiggins.
CODY: NO!
LEPRECHAUN: (to Cody) I want me coin. Give it to me...
Cody sees the go cart flying closer to him.
LONGER CHASE
Cody runs. The go cart gains. It's right on Cody's tail. Cody dives to the side, out of harm's way.
The go cart drives past and screeches to a stop. It does a one-eighty and points back towards our hero.
The Leprechaun revs the engine. Cody rises and books. He zigs and zags, trying to throw the Leprechaun off, but it's no use. Cody rushes by a small plywood figure of a clown, extending his hand, about four feet off of the ground. The short wooden clown speaks out of a comic book style dialogue balloon.
The balloon reads: IF YOU'RE NOT THIS TALL, YOU CAN'T DRIVE!
Suddenly, CRASH! The Leprechaun plows through the wooden clown with his go cart, obliterating it. He continues after Cody. Cody runs for dear life. The Leprechaun is behind him. Suddenly, Cody trips. His foot catches on a tire, lying on the ground. Cody collapses. He can only hold up his hands and wait for the impact. The go cart stops, ten feet from Cody...
The engine roars loudly.
LEPRECHAUN: Give me the coin, boy, and I'll let you live.
CODY: (screaming) I'm not giving you anything 'til I get Bridget. You'll have to kill me, if you want your stinking piece of gold.
LEPRECHAUN: So be it.
The Leprechaun hits the gas and heads for Cody. Cody tries to get to his feet, but his foot is stuck. The impact is imminent. Cody lets out a kamikaze yell!
The go cart hits Cody, but... passes riqht throuqh him.
The Leprechaun spins and screeches to a stop, facing Cody. Cody frees his leg and stands, unscathed. He turns towards the Leprechaun, in disbelief. The Leprechaun looks very angry.
CODY: I'm not dead.
LEPRECHAUN: You will be if you don't give me the coin!
The Leprechaun doesn't move. Cody takes the coin out of his pocket and looks at it, comprehending its power.
CODY: You can't do it, can you?
Cody holds up the coin.
CODY: (CONT'D) As long as I have this!
The Leprechaun growls at Cody.
LEPRECHAUN: You have to give it to me!!
CODY: (cool) You want it, come get it.
Cody stands, defiantly, holding the coin. The Leprechaun throws the go cart into gear. It speeds towards Cody. Its headlights shine. Cody stands his ground. The go cart screams to a halt, inches from him.
The driver's seat is empty. The Leprechaun is gone. Cody calls out into the night sky.
CODY: (CONT'D) I'm going to save Bridget, and then I'm gonna get you!, You can't hide from me! (beat) I know where you live!
CUT TO:
106 OMIT
106A INT. MANAGER'S OFFICE - NIGHT
CLOSE ON the jagged-edged wrought iron lamp base. Cody's hands reach in and grab it.
106B EXT. GRAND PRIX - NIGHT*
Cody slams the door to the hearse shut and drives away.
CAMERA PANS
to the Leprechaun lurking in the shadows.
LEPRECHAUN: I'll be waiting. The Leprechaun's home has many surprises.
The Leprechaun begins to turn around... CAMERA MOVES IN TO A CLOSE SHOT -- his back momentarily fills the frame to BLACK. ON THE BLACK WE --
CUT TO:
107 OMIT
108 INT. INNER LAIR - NIGHT
CLOSE ON the Leprechaun's back (matching from previous shot) -- he continues to turn around. The CAMERA PULLS BACK to reveal he is in the lair. He looks around, searching for Bridget.
LEPRECHAUN: Sweeteee? Still playing games? Come out, we may be having a house guest soon.
Bridget herself appears from one of the tunnels. She's cleaned up and looks ravishing.
BRIDGET: Where were you? I was so lonely. How could you leave a bride on her wedding night?
She seductively walks toward the bed and sits on it.
LEPRECHAUN: Later, my dear. I have to prepare for our visitor.
BRIDGET: What visitor could be more important than me? After all, I thought you waited a thousand years.
LEPRECHAUN: That I have...
The Leprechaun joins Bridget on the bed. She begins to touch the back of his head. He relaxes. He cannot see her face, which shows the agony she is in.
LEPRECHAUN: (CONT'D) It's been a long millennium for the Leprechaun, and he's had no one to care for his needs.
BRIDGET: Well, that's why I'm here, to give what you deserve.
The CAMERA PANS DOWN to under the bed, where Bridget has hidden the awl. She carefully reaches down, grabs it, and JAMS IT INTO THE LEPRECHAUN'S BACK!
BUT -- it doesn't penetrate. Instead it bends in two like a coat hanger! The Leprechaun spins and grabs the awl.
LEPRECHAUN: Me favorite awl! Me Da gave that to me, and you've gone and broke it!
Note from Connie: MISSING PAGE HERE!!! We jump from Scene 108 to Scene 112
112 INT. LEPRECHAUN'S LAIR - FOLLOWING
Cody makes his way in, carefully. The flare throws a hellish red glow on the walls. The lair is silent and dark. The sounds from outside are gone. Cody looks every which way.
CODY: (calling) Bridget!!
113 INT. LAIR TUNNEL - CONTINUOUS
WITH CODY -- Cody slowly moves on. He scratches his head.
CLOSE ON CODY'S SCALP
A small, single cockroach has landed on his head.
WIDER
Cody continues scratching his head. He looks at his hand, and he sees that his hand is crawling with cockroaches. He shakes them off, in disgust.
He crunches the cockroaches under his feet. Cody gets the last ones off of him. Angrily, he stomps on them, one final time.
CODY: (sarcastic) Yeah, this is gonna be real easy.
Cody fights his way through the clinging cobwebs, from the passageway into another.
114 INT. TUNNEL - FOLLOWING
Cody enters the tunnel. He walks a few yards and notices that the tunnel ends at an abrupt stop. He punches the wall, thwarted. Cody turns. The Leprechaun stands in front of him.
LEPRECHAUN: A little lost, are you?
Cody charges the Leprechaun. The imp disappears from sight. Cody looks around. He's gone.
CUT TO:
115 INT. INNER LAIR - CONTINUOUS
Bridget, still shackled to the bed, reaches in desperation toward the bent awl on the floor. It's a stretch. She clenches her teeth and tries, but the more she stretches, the tighter the bond around her neck chokes her.
Cody retraces his steps to the head of the passageway. He turns a corner. The SKELETON, partially embedded, in the wall stares out. Cody jumps back.
CODY: Man!!!
Cody exhales, calming himself.
CODY: (CONT'D) (to skeleton) What a cliche.
All of a sudden, the skeleton grabs for Cody's pocket, in an attempt to take the coin. Cody backs off, but the skeleton keeps coming. The skeleton rips himself free from the dirt wall and advances on our hero.
The skeleton grabs hold of the wrought iron bar in Cody's hand and pulls. Cody drops the flashlight and clutches the bar with both hands.
Cody falls back, with the skeleton on top of him. The skeleton reaches again for Cody's pocket with one hand and pushes the point of the bar towards Cody's neck with the other. Cody moves, the bar digs into the ground.
The Leprechaun stands at the entrance to another tunnel, watching the fight.
LEPRECHAUN: Get him, slave! Get the coin!
The skeleton stabs at Cody's head with the bar, repeatedly. Cody rolls one way, then the other. Escaping the point of the bar.
Cody gets up, still gripping the end of the bar. The skeleton holds the other end. Cody swings the skeleton around, smashing him into the wall of the lair.
He turns quickly and points the bar in the direction of the Leprechaun. He's not there. Cody hears the Leprechaun's footsteps. Cody picks up the flashlight and pursues the running steps.
CODY: You better run, you hear me? 'Cause you're next!
CUT TO:
116A INT. INNER LAIR - CONTINUOUS
Bridget is sweating, still reaching for the awl. An idea comes to her -- she tries another approach. She uses her feet! She stretches her legs and, yes, they reach the awl.
116B INT. TUNNEL - FOLLOWING
Cody runs down the tunnel and finds that, it too, ends.
LEPRECHAUN: (O.S.) Wrong again.
The Leprechaun laughs in the distance. Cody retraces his steps out and goes down a side passage.
116C INT. ANOTHER PASSAGEWAY - FOLLOWING
Cody enters a dark passageway. Only his flashlight throws light on the area.
CODY: Bridget!! (under his breath, frustrated) Where are you?
Suddenly, Cody slips and disappears into a hole in the ground.
117 INT. UNDERGROUND VINEY PIT - FOLLOWING
Cody finds himself entwined in a pit of thorny vines. He drops the flashlight to the floor far below. Cody turns this way and that, the thorns digging deep into his skin. The light, from the fallen flashlight, flickers. Cody screams in pain. Suddenly, the Leprechaun appears in the pit with Cody. His face and hands taunt and grab at our hero.
LEPRECHAUN: Give me the coin, I'll let you go.
Cody screams, as he fights back the tangle of thorns. The light flashes. Just when Cody is about to give up hope, the light goes out...
118 INT. TUNNEL - FOLLOWING
Cody jabs at the air, as if fighting off the Leprechaun and the thorns. He realizes that he's free and that he doesn't have a scratch on him. It was all a sick, horrifying game.
When the green glow shines again, Cody finds himself at the entrance to the inner lair. Gripping, his wrought iron bar, he enters.
119 INT. INNER LAIR - FOLLOWING
Inside, he sees Bridget. She is still shackled to a bedpost. Her hands are now behind her head. Cody moves towards her.
BRIDGET: Cody!
CODY: Bridget! Are you all right?! What has he done to you?!
BANG! The Leprechaun bursts out of a paper rock directly in front of Cody (much like a girl popping out of a cake).
LEPRECHAUN: Surprise! Don't take another step.
Their eyes are transfixed on each other.
BRIDGET: Cody, run. Get out of here.
CODY: I'm not leaving without you!
BRIDGET: Go!
ANGLE BEHIND BRIDGET'S BACK -and we see her frantically working the point of the awl into the rear joint of the neck shackle. She's managed to pry it open a little bit. Just a little more pressure, and it's ready to snap.
BACK TO SCENE
LEPRECHAUN: What will you do now, Cody? Do you think you can beat me? Here, in my home!
The Leprechaun laughs, mischievously. Cody grips the bar tightly. The moment is tense. Who will strike first? Suddenly...
BRIDGET: Take your damn ring back! I don't want it anymore!
Bridget rips off the shackle and -- CLUNK! She flings the shackle toward the Leprechaun, with a direct hit on the Leprechaun's head. It knocks his hat off, momentarily disorienting him.
CODY: RUN!
The Leprechaun looks back at Bridget. She's disappeared down the passageway. The Leprechaun starts after her. He stops and looks back towards Cody, but... Cody is gone.
LEPRECHAUN: A game of hide and seek? How lovely.
The Leprechaun takes off after Bridget.
120 OMIT
121 INT. TUNNEL - SAME TIME
The Leprechaun moves down a tunnel, slowly. He listens for Bridget's footsteps.
LEPRECHAUN: You know you won't get out.
122 INT. ANOTHER PASSAGEWAY - SAME TIME
Bridget is running for dear life. She turns a corner. Another dead end. She hears the Leprechaun's snickering, turns and runs out.
123 INT. TUNNEL - SAME TIME
The Leprechaun stands quietly, listening for Bridget.
124 INT. PASSAGEWAY - SAME TIME
Bridget runs, in desperation, down another passageway. It seems to go on forever. Again, Bridget comes to a dead end. Out of nowhere, two arms grab her from behind. She's about to scream, when a hand covers her mouth. It's Cody.
CODY: Come on, we've gotta find a way out.
BRIDGET: Cody, I've tried!
CODY: We'll do it! Together! Now, come on!
They look both ways. Suddenly, at shoulder height, from a hole in the rock, the Leprechaun sticks his head out and cackles. Cody swings the bar at the Leprechaun, who disappears into the hole.
Cody grabs Bridget. They run off, down the tunnel.
125 & 126 OMIT
126A INT. TUNNEL
Holding hands, Bridget and Cody run through the tunnel, toward the light at the other end. They run through, and are back in
127 INT. INNER LAIR - CONTINUOUS
CLOSE ON our couple as they emerge from the tunnel.
We PULL BACK to reveal them standing in the lair. They react with surprise.
CODY: We're right back where we started!
The entrances to four tunnels lay before them -- and they just emerged from tunnel #1.
BRIDGET: There's gotta be a way out of this place!
CODY: Come on. Let's try this one.
CLOSE TWO SHOT
as they run into tunnel #4, and disappear in the darkness. *
CLOSE ON Tunnel #1 -- Cody and Bridget emerge --
PULL BACK TO REVEAL them standing in the lair -- THE EXACT SAME CAMERA MOVE as when they previously emerged from this tunnel.
CODY: Damn! Let's try this one.
They run into tunnel #3. And, IN THE SAME SHOT, immediately emerge from tunnel #2 again! Without saying a word, Cody grabs Bridget's hand, and they run into tunnel #2, only to * come out of #1 again.
BRIDGET: What are we going to do?!
CODY: I've got an idea.
Cody grabs Bridget, and takes her into tunnel #1.
Cody emerges from tunne #3, ALONE. He looks around.
CODY: (CONT'D) BRIDGET!
Cody runs back into the tunnel from where he came. Calling her name.
CODY: (CONT'D) BRIDGET!!
128 INT. TUNNEL - FOLLOWING
Cody runs frantically through the tunnel.
(DELETE)
129 to 131 OMIT
[Note from Connie: the last two lines were handwritten, and a copier line on the page indicated that the top half of one page had been photocopied with the bottom half of another page.]
132 INT. INNER LAIR - FOLLOWING
He comes out at the inner lair. Cody realizes where he is. In the center of the inner lair, Bridget stands, with her back to the entrance.
CODY: Bridget! Are you okay?!
Bridget turns around excitedly and jumps with a start. Relief comes over her face. She rushes into Cody's arms.
BRIDGET: I saw him, I saw the Leprechaun!
CODY: Where is he?
BRIDGET: Back in the tunnels. I managed to get away.
She throws her arms around him.
BRIDGET: Come on. You're not going to believe this, but I think I actually found a way out of here!
CODY: Well, let's go!
They start to leave together.
BRIDGET: Oh, do you have the coin?
CODY: Yeah, why?
BRIDGET: Leave the damn thing here. That's what he wants.
CODY: But, Bridget, as long as we have this coin, he can't hurt us. We're dead without this coin!
BRIDGET: Listen to me, Cody. If leaving the coin will keep this creep from following us, we've got to do it!
CODY: But...
BRIDGET: I know it's scary. But it'll be okay.
Cody looks into Bridget's pleading eyes.
BRIDGET: (CONT'D) Give me the coin, and let's get out of here. Please.
Cody reaches into his pocket. He pulls out the coin and looks at it, in the palm of his hand. Cody hesitates.
BRIDGET: (CONT'D) I love you, Cody.
Bridget kisses Cody. As they break, Cody steps back, taken by the kiss. After a beat, Cody hands the coin to Bridget. Bridget crosses to the flat top rock and sits down. She looks back at Cody, holding the gold piece in her hand. She starts to laugh... in the Leprechaun's voice.
LEPRECHAUN: (in the Leprechaun's voice) You lose.
Bridget transforms into the Leprechaun. The Leprechaun laughs with maniacal glee. Cody is stunned.
LEPRECHAUN: Ha, ha, ha. I fooled you. Now, there's nothing to protect you. I've got the coin and there's no stopping me now. You can't outsmart a genius.
CODY: Where's Bridget?!
Leprechaun waves his hands. Bridget materializes out of thin air in front of a tunnel.
BRIDGET: (crying) Don't hurt him. I'll go with you.
The Leprechaun joins her and paws her.
LEPRECHAUN: Yes you will. But, it's time to finish this annoying boy off, once and for all.
CODY: (0.S.) Like hell.
Cody rushes the Leprechaun, with the bar in hand. The Leprechaun looks to Cody, waves his hand and sends Cody travelling back into the tunnel. Cody crashes (O.S.).
BRIDGET: Cody!!
Bridget runs down the tunnel.
133 INT. TUNNEL - FOLLOWING
Bridget reaches Cody's side. He rolls over onto his back and looks down at the wrought iron spear, sticking out of his midsection. Cody looks up at her.
CODY: Bri...
Cody slumps forward, dead.
BRIDGET: Cody! No!! Cody!!
The light at the end of the tunnel is obscured. A dark shadow falls over Bridget. The Leprechaun stands at the opening into the inner lair. Bridget stands and turns towards him,crying.
BRIDGET: (CONT'D) He's dead?
As if in a trance, Bridget, defeated stands at the entrance to the inner lair.
BRIDGET: (CONT'D) (still sucking in tears) It's over?
LEPRECHAUN: (smiling devilishly) Aye. Cry as you may, cry as you might. It's going to be one hell of a wedding night.
The Leprechaun steps forward to take Bridget's hand, when...
Bridget is pushed to the side and Cody comes out of the shadows, behind her. He holds his wrought iron spear in front of him. With one smooth, forceful thrust, he jabs home the weapon, skewering a surprised Leprechaun through the heart.
CODY: In your dreams, buddy.
134 INT. INNER LAIR - FOLLOWING
The Leprechaun staggers back, in shock, into the inner lair. He conjures up his gold coin and looks at it, questioningly. He looks back at Cody. The Leprechaun begins to glow and vibrate. The wrought iron burns the Leprechaun's insides. He writhes and twists in pain, staggering back.
LEPRECHAUN: (struggling) But, you...
CODY: It's real milk chocolate...genius.
Cody takes the coin from the Leprechaun, unwraps it and pops it into his mouth.
CODY: (CONT'D) Mmm. Magically delicious.
Cody and Bridget run away as the Leprechaun convulses. The Leprechaun is obliterated, in an outstanding special effects explosion.
Cody takes. the real coin out of his pocket and holds it up for Bridget to see.
CODY: (CONT'D) I guess he was looking for this.
The lair begins to shake and rumble all around them. A RAY OF SUNLIGHT BURSTS THROUGH ONE OF THE TUNNELS. Cody grabs Bridget by the hand and they head down a tunnel.
135 & 136 OMIT
137 EXT. HOUDINI'S RUINS - TREE SITE - DAWN
Cody emerges from the cracked tree at Houdini's ruins, pu11ing Bridget behind him. He yanks Bridget up into his arms. They hug tightly. Behind them, the tree collapses into the earth below. It disappears into the ground. A dark pit is left in its place. Bridget turns to Cody.
BRIDGET: How' d you know it wasn't me you gave the coin to before?
CODY: He kisses different from you.
Bridget grabs Cody and kisses him passionately. She looks into his eyes. They kiss again.
BRIDGET: Whose kiss do you like better?
CODY: I'll have to think about it.
Bridget playfully punches him. Cody takes out the Leprechaun's coin, looks at it.
BRIDGET: You going to keep it?
CODY: Trust me. It's not worth it.
Cody flicks the coin into the dark pit. The crater seals up. Leaves blow by the empty place where the crater once was. Bridget embraces Cody, as the morning sun rises above the Hollywood Hills. It's been a very long night.
FADE OUT
