CLOSE ANNA

Anna: Mr. Wilson, people never want the rulers they admire,
the heroes they adore, ever to die. I have read that in America
rumors abound of soldiers and presidents, who have not really
been killed, but who have gone into hiding. Even actors. Your
Valentino.

MEDIUM ANNA, WILSON, FEATURING TEUFEL

Teufel: Nonsense!

CLOSE UP ANNA
Anna: Even Jesus, as long ago as Jesus. He was not left for dead.
Mary Magdalene saw Him alive. The Apostles saw Him alive.
Today most of Europe, most of America, believes Jesus is not
dead. They believe in Easter. They believe He rose again.

MEDIUM ANNA, WILSON, AND TEUFEL

Teufel: And her very name...
Anna: ...not my name...
Teufel: ... Anastasia’s name. Anastasia’s name means in English:
The Woman Who Stands Again.
Wilson: Anastasia: The Woman Who Rose Again.

INSERT SHOT FROM RUSSIAN CELLAR
CLOSE ANASTASIA SLOW MOTION

In the cellar, bloodied, ANASTASIA rises.
Insert duration: fast enough to be the observable side of
subliminal.

CLOSE TEUFEL

Teufel: The woman who rose again. Indeed!

CLOSE ANNA
Anna: Blasphemy! She was not Jesus. (ANNA crosses herself)
