EXT. AREIAL VIEW OF SMALL TOWN, YULEE FL, SPIRAL DOWN - DAY

ROB pulls up at Murry’s Grille on an old jalopy motorcycle. It’s Bike Night with about two hundred motorcycles and a live band on the patio deck. He walks inside.
 
INT. INSIDE RESTAURANT - SAME
 
Spotting each other inside, Rob re-acquaints himself with an old friend BART GREEN. The hard wood floor amplifies the noise levels of the room.

END CREDITS

			BART
	I’ve went ahead and ordered the ole’ chicken 	wing and beer feast. I had to place a to go 	order. The only free tables are outside.

Bart and Rob walk outdoors carrying food

EXT. TABLE OUTSIDE - DAY

			BART
Man, how’ve you been? I haven’t seen you since our days in the Talk Radio biz. So what’s new?

			ROB
Would you believe I’ve got married, settled down, the whole nine yards. 

			BART
Is the wild bachelor man now the family man?
 
Rob’s smile obviously isn’t genuine.

			BART
Hey cheer up; if it makes you feel any better, I just tied the knot a few months back myself. 

		ROB 
Hey don’t get me wrong now, my wife SHANA is a great woman, it’s just that --
	
		BART
You don’t have to say a thing. I know what you’re going through, because I go through it my self sometimes… You miss the fast life.

		ROB
I wish I could have both worlds, but I know life don’t work that way.

		BART
Well it could, you just need adventure that’ll keep you out of trouble. Check this out.
 
Bart points to the GH logo on his shirt, its a rip off of Van Halen logo. A loud motorcycle starts near their table
		
			Bart
	I’m a professional ghost hunter
		
			ROB
	You’re a what? Did I hear you right?
		
			BART
Yeah, my wife and I are both ghost hunters. In fact we’re heading out to Fernandina Beach tonight for an investigation. It has a history that goes back to the days of Spanish Colonialism and pirates. 
	
			ROB
	Well, that’s pretty cool… and a little 	creepy too, I must say. But hey, it at least it’s excitement.

In the background a van arrives. 

			BART
	Here come the rest of the team

Rob notices a few stares coming their way. 

			BART
It happens all the time, ever since we made
those documentaries for national TV, people recognize us. 

		ROB
I’ve watched some sort of ghost show a few times, but I don’t think it was yours, sorry

		BART
Don’t worry I’ll get you a copy…
	(stands up)
Come on I’ll introduce you to my wife KAREN

EXT. REAR OF PARKING LOT - SAME

OVER THE SHOULDER – JOE’S POV AMONGST THE MOTORCYCLES

JOE and his bikers watch from a distance as Rob and Bart cross the parking lot, walk up to van and make brief introductions. The crew prepares to calibrate and test the equipment. MARK pulls out tripods and lean them in folded position on the van as Karen unwinds cables.	

Joe stands and places his hand on a BIKER’S shoulder as the GH team can be seen in background.

			JOE (OS)
	Keep an eye on that group with the van.

EXT. VAN IN PARKING LOT – SAME

			ROB
	I thought you were doing this in Fernandina
 
			KAREN 
We like to be prepared before we get there, sometimes we’ll get false readings if we calibrate at a haunting site. 

She turns on the vans radio to an AM station. Rob immediately recognizes the bumper music

			ROB
	Hey Bart that’s the Network we use to work at 	
			BART 
	Yeah, it was thru them that I got plugged to 	the ghost gig.  

			ROB 
	Man they use to talk about some crazy stuff 	didn’t they.

			BART 
	And now I’m doing that crazy stuff.   

As the crew starts to set up the two tripods, some pissed off bikers approach.
			
			BIKER 1
If you know what’s good for you, you won’t set up here 	
		
			BIKER 2 
	Yeah no cameras and shit

Biker 2 makes hand in fist motion

			BIKER 1
	I suggest you pack your things and leave  

Bikers walk backwards a few steps with watchful eyes as they exit. 

Mark waits till they are out of range. 	

			MARK
	I wonder if they are wanted by the law? 

			KAREN
	Probably not supposed to be here. 

			ROB
   	Yeah, brought the girlfriend and left the wife 	at home.

			BART
	We’re a little out numbered to be starting 	trouble guys

			ROB
	I don’t understand, I come here fairly 	regularly, never had any trouble like this. 	
	
Bart starts putting up the tripods, Karen repacks cables

			BART
They’re still watching us, and it looks like they have friends… Time to get moving. 

		ROB
I understand...
	(shakes Bart’s hand)
but hey, we’ll get together again sometime and let the wives meet. 

EXT. ROB’S HOUSE – NIGHT

SUPER: A FEW WEEKS LATER
	
Bart and Karen ring doorbell. A door opens

EXT. ROB’S PATIO GRILLE - SAME 

A door closes as Rob and Bart carry marinated steaks out to the grille.

		ROB
	(places steaks on grille)
It’s been a few weeks since your Fernandina trip; Any ghost?

		BART
The Fernandina trip was a waste of time. We got a tip on a site, but as it turned out the place was being converted to a Bed and Breakfast and the anonymous tip came from the management group. Apparently there’s a big market for people wanting to stay haunted rooms. 

		ROB
	(adjusts flame)
I tell ya, people will do just about anything
		(MORE)
		ROB (Cont’d)
to make a fast buck. But as for me, I’d pay more to make sure it wasn’t haunted.

INT. ROB’S HOUSE – SAME

Returning into the house as steaks cook on the grille, Rob and Bart pass a book shelf  
									
ROB
The stuff I actually have seen on TV about ghost hunting resembles…..
 
INSERT - ROB PULLS A BOOK OFF THE SHELF
	
	“A Guide to Quantum Physics”

     			ROB (OS)
	Things I’ve read about in Quantum 			Physics, although I still don’t have a grasp 	on it yet.
  
BACK TO SCENE
					
BART
		(rolls eyes)
I’ve heard that before, in fact Mark from our team has a brother who’s a physics major. He says he’s is working on something that’ll make our ghost hunting look like child’s play.

Bart looks down the hall and sees the ladies on the couch sipping margaritas

			BART 
Karen and Shana seem to be hitting it off well.

INT. LIVING ROOM - SAME

Shana and Karen are sitting on the couch

			KAREN
So Shana you are a world traveled anthropologist, that’s fascinating, I’m sure you have lots of interesting stories to tell.   

			SHANA
	My husband exaggerates a little, I interned in          
Africa on a few digs. I’m only a Junior professor at the local college. 
	(sips drink)
But enough about me; how’d you and Bart meet?

Rob and Bart enter living room

			KAREN
	I met Bart at the radio network. 
		
			BART
Yeah remember the quit smoking through hypnosis ads at the Network. Well she’s one of the hypnotists.

			KAREN
I had some interest in past lives hypnosis and thought ghost hunting might add a new angle on things.
					
Bart cell phone rings and seems somewhat annoyed as he looks at the caller ID. He flips open the phone.

			BART
	Can this wait? You’ve caught us at a bad time.
		
			MARK (VO)
Hell no. This is high priority, do you remember going to Murry’s Grille? 

			BART
	Yeah sure we almost got our ass kicked.

FLASHBACK - INSIDE THE VAN – DAY

The scene is reenacted with a VO of Bart and Mark.

A) Flipping switches and turning dials on equipment

B) Turning on radio

C) Karen places camera on knee

D) View thru van’s side door of bikers approaching 

			MARK (VO)
Well you won’t believe this but… the highest level of weird stuff happened there. When Karen started calibrating, she’d left the shit turned on, all of it. Spectrum analyzer 
electromagnatrometer……

			BART (VO)
	So what of it? 		

MARK (VO)
	Even the AM radio signal got distorted, 		Everything’s pegged like we seen never before 	and wait till you see the videos.

BACK TO PRESENT DAY

			BART 
Wait, are you saying the restaurant is haunted?  

			MARK (VO)
	No I’m saying the bikers are. 

			BART 
	Hey Rob can we receive an email here? 
	It’s something important. 
					
			ROB
	Sure, no problemo

INT. EMPLOYEE LUNCH ROOM - SAME

A co-worker sits next to RICK

			CO-WORKER
Hey RICK some of the guys from work are getting together tonight for cyber gamming, wanna join in?

			RICK
Sorry, I’ve got other plans, I’m gonna try my first poker run.

			CO-WORKER
	I don’t get it, by day you have a very 		prestigious job, with a dual degree in 	computers and genetics… 	

Hand gestures suggesting like it’s a big deal

	Running the data base for the Human Genome 	Project. By night you‘re out carousing around 	on your motorcycle like Brando or something.

			RICK
	So what’s it to you? 

			CO-WORKER
Well let me tell you, you’re not Brando, you’re a geek and a nerd like the rest of us here, so 	stop trying to be something you’re not. ..It’s not fitting you.
		
			RICK
	Some harsh words from someone who never even 	tried to ride a bike.

Rick takes the last bite of his sandwich and speaks with a mouth full as he checks his watch.
 
			RICK
	Maybe I’ll catch the next session.

Rick gets up and leaves as co-worker shakes his head in disappointment and disgust.  

EXT. RIVER’S EDGE PUB – LATE AFTERNOON	

At the pub, several bikers are standing in line at the Poker run’s registration when two men in club jackets approach Rick.  	
			BIKER
		(pointing)
	Hey mister your taillights out. You can’t do 	the run like that.
 
Thru the corner of his eye, Rick sees the light goes out the moment they mentioned it. Expression on Rick looks like this seems curiously odd. Rick squeezes the hand brake and watches light flash.

	RICK
It was just working a second ago

	BIKER
	Follow us; we’ll get you hooked up.

Rick drives off with the men

EXT. MOTORCYCLE SHOP – LATE AFTERNOON

The three men pull into local motorcycle shop. The sign in the window reads CLOSED

			JOE (cont’d)
	I’m Joe, welcome to my shop

On Joe’s desk is a tail light bulb, and the biker picks up.

			BIKER
		(smirking) 
	Imagine that, it’s the right size.
 
			RICK
	Yeah, imagine that

			JOE
		(quickly interrupts) 
Times getting short if we’re to make the run. 

EXT. MOTORCYCLE SHOP – SAME

While Rick installs the bulb, Joe pulls up on an amazing custom chopper. 

EXT. RIVER’S EDGE PUB – LATE AFTERNOON

Arriving at poker run’s registration, several other men wearing club jackets start hovering around Joe. 
		
			JOE
Hey Rick since this is your first run, do you even know what to expect?

No, not really.

Well then you should hang with us, we’ll coach you along the way.

EXT. FRIDADDY’S BAR - SUNSET

The large group from the poker run pull into the first stop.

Rick, I’d like you to meet Katrina, one of our club’s sisters. 

Rick is still holding the two shots and shakes her hand awkwardly. 
 
			JOE
	Rick I was wandering if you could let Kat ride 	with you. 

Rick tries to respond coolly with a simple yes, but his fumbling actions are screaming Hell Yea!!!

			RICK
		(gawking, talks to her breast)
	Of course, yeah sure. 

			KATRINA
	Good, I’d hate to be left behind

			RICK
One of the club members just gave me two shots, want one of them?

She takes the other shot and handles it like a pro. She scans him up and down. His clothes are out of place. Joe exits

			KATRINA
	So Rick have you been riding long?

			RICK
	No, I guess I’m one of those new Yuppie Bikers
	
			KATRINA
	You seem like the professional white collar 	type… and I mean that in a good way, I like a 	man with brains. 

Rick being clumsy around women nearly drops drink. Composes himself them tries to mimic Katrina by slamming shot; tries not to make a sour face.
		
			KATRINA
	So are you a lawyer or something?
		
			RICK
	No, I’m work on the Human Genome Project.

			KATRINA
		(sexual overtone)
	Wow, then you must have a really big brain.

A loud voice in the background shouts LOAD UP EVERYONE
Several of the club members load up with female companions.

BACK TO PRESENT

SFX - STATICY AUDIO SOUND
 
The audio on the VO sounds like an AM radio full of static.

			SHANA 
	It’s hard to tell what’s what
	
Bart grabs mouse 

INSERT- LAPTOP SCREEN

Bart replays the Biker incident, finger points at screen
			
			BART (OS)
	It’s faint and easy to overlooked, unless 	you’re a ghost hunter and specifically 	look 	for these kinds of anomalies. 
		
			ROB (OS)
There’s also an attachment from MAGGIE, I don’t remember meeting a Maggie.

Rob clicks on his mouse, file starts to open

BACK TO SCENE

			KAREN 
	We call one of our devices maggie, short 	for electromagtrometer.  
		
			BART
Mark, the Quantum mumbo jumbo guy, his brother custom designed it for us.

INSERT – LAPTOP SCREEN

The upload completes. The screen shows maggie’s interpretation of the strange phenomenon and resembles an oscilloscope or a color correction scope from a TV station. Silhouettes move on the scope where the bikers are standing. 

			BART (OS)
	Whoa ! ….
		(a beat)
….Normally an encounter looks like a little blip.  This is nearly overpowering the equipment.  

Bart replays the feed, points to screen
	
			BART (OS)
Notice in the background, these could be others as well

BACK TO SCENE

Bart and Karen look up at each other with blank faces.

Good, I’m a little nervous about riding at night…. Also I failed to mention that you’re the first person to ride on the back

	You’re doing fine and I’m enjoying the ride.
 
Right then Katrina starts to rub on him while pressing her breast on his back.  

EXT. / INT. RIVER’S EDGE PUB - NIGHT

Katrina is holding Rick’s hand and is presenting herself as if they are a couple. Rick struts like a proud peacock.

	Hey that’s us.

The two guys who helped Rick with the taillight come over.

	Congratulations for having the suckiest hand.  	Joe’s having a party at the clubhouse, You and 	Katrina come on out.

The same CO-WORKER from lunch room knocks on the door.

			CO-WORKER
	Hey Rick there’s a hottie named Katrina down 	in the lobby asking for you.

INT. LOBBY AT RICK’S WORK - SAME
		
			KATRINA
Rick, I just wanted to tell you I had a great time this weekend so I don’t want you to think I’m blowing you off. My job is sending me out to Tallahassee for who knows how long. It’s supposed to be just a few days, but it’s probably gonna be a few weeks. 

			RICK 
	I see, I’m glad you told me because…
 	I would’ve thought I was getting the blow off. 

Katrina leans over and kisses him, nosey onlookers in the background.

			ROB (VO) 
	Bart, it’s Rob I hope I didn’t wake you.  

			BART
No it’s alright I was already awake, what’s up?

			ROB (VO)
One of those haunted biker guys is in the hospital, so I was wondering if you and your 
team would like to meet us up there to question him about the video ?

			BART
	Are you sure you want to get involved, ghost 	hunting can bring about strange events in your 	life.

INT. ROB’S HOUSE - SAME

			ROB
		(looks back at Shana)
	Yea, even my wife the scientist is curious. 	We should go, I’ll bring flowers so we look like family members…. Besides

	Sounds like a plan, Let me gather up the team.

Arriving at the hospital

INT. HOSPITAL HALLWAY/ROOM - SAME

Entering room they see a battered up man, not recognizable from their confrontation in Yulee. A nurse walks in

			NURSE
	He’s just had a recent dose of morphine and 	he’ll be out in a few minutes.

Nurse exits

			KAREN
	Sir, do you remember us? 

The man nods yes
			
			KAREN
	We’d like to ask you about this

Pulls out a portable DVD player, the man waives it away after a few moments of playback.

			INJURED MAN 
	So you discovered us…
		(looks out window)
… Well I guess it doesn’t matter to me anymore….
		
He looks back at group and pulls the sheet off

INSERT – MAN MISSING PART OF LEG

			INJURED MAN (OS)
	…now that I’m of no use 	to them. 

BACK TO SCENE
		
			BART 
	I’m sorry about your accident

Pulling out a mini camcorder, Mark starts to film. 

			INJURED MAN
	Whoa, you won’t see the strange stuff this 	time because I’ve been abandoned.

			BART 
	Abandoned by whom? What do you mean?

			INJURED MAN
	All of you all find a seat. I’m ganna tell 	you the most amazing set of facts. After the 	way they left me and never delivering on the 	inheritance, they don’t deserve my silence…
		(a beat)
 	…Its time the truth gets out before it’s too 	late.
  
			ROB
	Too late for what? 

			INJURED MAN
You’ll have to figure that part out yourself.
They’re up to something, but I don’t know what; something coming from our upper command. 

			ROB
	What are you some kind of organized crime 

			INJURED MAN
	No, not like you think… 
		(a beat)
	…Have you ever heard of Lucy, the early homo 	erectus? 

Shana is startled of how the conversation transitions to this subject 

			SHANA
Yeah I’ve written many papers about her. But I’m curious how this can relate to anything

			INJURED MAN
	Ever notice that every time you turned around 	your theories would have a hole punch thru it 	…am I right? 

			SHANA
	Yes that seems to be the case.

			INJURED MAN 
Well, that’s because early man couldn’t think for himself, so we did. We predated the modern race started by Adam and Eve. That’s why the religious folks and the scientist clash on --

		SHANA	
	(turns towards group)
This is a waste of time…
	(turns towards man)
…am I supposed to believe you’re some sort of caveman ghost?

		INJURED MAN
We are not angels, demons, aliens or ghost, we are the ORIGINALS and we….
 
The man starts fading from the recent dose of morphine. Mark nudges him as he continues to film. Briefly awakening 
		
			INJURED MAN 
	We used a drug mind X for today’s people, to 	get them to co-exist like Lucy. I stopped 	taking mine, because they wouldn’t give me the 	inheritance, so I wanted my old life back…..  	
He starts fading again. Nurse enters, Mark nudges again.

			NURSE	
	I’m sorry but visiting hours are over.  

			INJURED MAN
	Hey, go to bike week they’ll be there.

INT. COFFEE SHOP - DAY

The group stops at a locally owned coffee shop.

			ROB
	So what do you think; a bunch of nonsense? 

			BART
	I know this sounds like a bunch of crap, but 	we do have some good facts to go on.
 
Bart sips his coffee

			BART	
First… in all of our ghost experience we never had such strong readings of paranormal activity.

Karen and Mark mumble in agreement. 

Second, we never had an experience with a living subject. Third, we had a confession and  a partial explanation, which to seems to me we have an official, bonafide encounter of some sort. 

		KAREN
So the question is… what now?  

			Shana 
	The crazy thing is the Lucy, Adam and Eve, 	biker connection. He’s dead on right about the 	confusion of facts with the scientists. It’s 	like they, we, myself included, are working 	harder to keep new findings in line with the 	institutional framework. Basically if it’s too 	out of line… it just gets shelved. 

			MARK
Let me throw in my two cents, obviously this is bigger than just some local bikers, because he mentioned a chain of command with a plan. I don’t like the idea of some prehistoric, paranormal group running around, we need to go to Bike Week and figure this out, could be our biggest break.

		ROB
	(with a hint of excitement)
I agree, we should go 

EXT. ROB AND SHANA DRIVING – DAY

			ROB (OS)
	Honey, what in a nutshell are the main 	conflicts regarding Lucy‘s race? 

			SHANA (OS)
Basically, Lucy and her kind had smaller brains thus limiting her abilities. However we’ve found suggestions of social behavior and tool making skills which are beyond her brain’s capacity.

INT. ROB’S CAR - SAME

			ROB 
	So you mean if someone or something was able 	to think for her… as the biker suggested, that 	would certainly throw a wrench in things. 

			SHANA
	Yes it would…. 
			(MORE)
		(a beat)
			SHANA (cont’d)
	Listen this is fascinating, but I can’t have my name associated with this, it’ll discredit me greatly,…. I like your friends but please.. 
		(pleading)
	….let’s use discretion. 

			ROB
	Can you at least keep an open mind and go to 	Bike Week with us?

			SHANA
	Yeah sure…
		(pouts) 
….Besides you’re not going to bike week without me, I’ve heard what goes on there...
		(waives her wedding ring)
	…and I don’t want your relapsing into 	bachelorhood.

D) Running into hallway she sees long shadows of monkey(s) coming down the hall. 

E) At the zoo, Shana looks at a caged monkey, blurs, Shana is now in the cage. The monkey walks off with Rob and MORPH’S into Lucy. Lucy looks back with smirk.

BACK TO SCENE
 
Shana tosses and turns, wakes and sits up quickly.

INT. BIKER CLUB HOUSE - NIGHT

Rick at club house looks around the room and walks back to Joe’s office. Joe and two others are there and one of them is shooting with a needle.

			RICK
	Hey what the hell is going on in here?

			JOE
	Relax, it’s not what you think, it’s just 	insulin….he’s diabetic.

Rick has a look of relief 

			RICK
I’ve got a question… I’ve noticed a distinct difference in levels or ranks in the club. What’s up with that?  
		
			JOE 
That’s right, you’ve probably heard me refer to these guys here as my lieutenants or Lt‘s for short. 

		LT
Rick not all the members are part the inner circle that you walked into.  

			RICK
	No wonder I sensed a little resentment

 A Lieutenant closes the office door  

			LT
We’re going cruising, but its not for the rest of the club members, just us. 

		JOE
But first we have a little something for ya. 

Joe walks up, presents him a leather vest with the club emblem. It is obviously used, but Rick seems grateful. 

INSERT – VEST WITH BARE PATCH SPOT

The emblem of the primate is removed. A few strings dangle 

BACK TO SCENE

			LT
		(pointing to the blank spot)
	That‘s something you have to earn in time.

EXT. DIAMONDS SALOON – NIGHT

Rick and the Lt’s pull into DIMONDS

INT. INSIDE BAR - SAME

The Lts buy Rick his first shot. While they are up at the bar Rick notices a picture of OOE aka Lucy , “The Original Party Animal” over the register.

			RICK
	It seems Lucy is popular. 

			LT 1
Yeah especially here, get it “Lucy in the sky with diamonds”. 

		LT 2
It just means we get a discount on house brands, so if this taste a little off it’s because it’s the cheapo. 

			RICK
	Still that’s cool. 

One of the Lt’s pulls out a lighter and lights a smoke.

			LT 1
	Look over there, three lonely ladies

As Rick looks over at the women, the other LT passes his lighter over the top of Rick’s drink.

INSERT – CU OF LIGHTER IN HAND

A clear liquid squirts out the bottom of the lighter and into the drink. 

BACK TO SCENE

Rick doesn’t notice and drinks.
		
			LT 2
	Up for a game of pool? 

SERIES OF SHOTS – POOL TABLE

The Lt takes control of the game

A) The initial break

B) Several quick shots of balls being sunk 

C) Trick shot of eight ball dropping into pocket.

BACK TO SCENE

			LT 1
	Its time we teach you a biker trick. 

			RICK
You kidding, you see I barely can even play.  

			LT 2
No, this isn’t a pool trick, it’s better than that.
  
The Lt looking at his watch

			LT 2
In two minutes, go stand next to those girls. Pick one out, stare thru her mind and concentrate. Think to yourself…. I’m the man and you want to ride on my bike. 

			RICK 
	That’s stupid, why don’t I just talk with 	them? 

			LT 1
		(points at Rick’s vest)
	Because you have to earn your OOE. 

			LT 2
	Beside we got your back. 
		(looks at watch)
	You still have 35 seconds.
 	
Rick starts to move, the LT grabs his arm
 
			LT 2
By the way don’t start doing the I’m the man thing until you hear something like radio static in your head. Once she starts moving your direction say only…. come on, let’s go. Ya got it?
	(looks at watch) 
Ok, it’s time.

			LT 1
	Go get’um tiger

Rick gets within six feet of ladies and does exactly as instructed. To his surprise he hears the static. The girl, who is obviously pretty liquored up responds to his thoughts.		
			DRUNKEN GIRL 	
	Aren’t you just the man… 
		(hangs her arm around him)
	…so where are we heading? 

The Lt’s are doing the same, loading up her friends.  

EXT. RIDING DOWN THE ROAD - NIGHT

They all ride off together with ladies on the back. Rick hears static a few times

SFX – STATIC SOUND ON VO

			LT STATIC (VO)
	Turn up here, cops ahead. 

Up ahead is a small hill 

			RICK (VO)
How could they see over the hill? What kind of trick allows you to plant thoughts in peoples heads? Very weird.

The lieutenants pull up and leading by several yards, respond thru static.

			LT’S (VO) 
	Hey Rick, quit winning over there and enjoy 	your spoils.

INT. CLUB HOUSE - DAY

Rick in bad mood charges thru front doors and goes straight to where the LT’s are.

			RICK
What the hell happened last night, what kind of weird club is this?

The Lt’s were fumbling for answers when Joe enters

			JOE
	So, you’re wondering what’s going on. 

			RICK
	Yeah, I think I have a right to know! 

			JOE
And you do. But first, let me ask. What version do you like better?
	(a beat) 
Your lifestyle now …or, would you rather return back to your old plain vanilla ways? 

Joe spreads arms out in animation

…You’ve had the red carpet treatment, met fine ladies, Had your bike fitted with a bad-ass exhaust --
		
			LT
	For free, might I add. 

			JOE
	…and had plenty of adventure. 
		(smirks)
Kind of like a bad boy version of the Cinderella story, but are you gonna screw it up?
 
Rick looks shocked 

			RICK 
	I never mentioned those words to you.

			JOE
	Awe, but you thought them

 After an awkward moments pause

			JOE
		(all smiles)
	We’re packing up for Bike week, did you 	get some time off from work? 
		(a beat)
	If you come with us to Daytona you’ll learn 	our secrets ….everything. 

			LT
	Your life will be turbocharged from them on. 

			JOE
	You’ve been hand picked, for a high 	privilege. You have nothing to lose but a 
	hell of a lot to gain. 

			RICK 
	I had planned on going. 

Joe and the Lts grab a set of long poles, box of used lighters and packed them in a trailer 

			JOE
Oh and Rick, If go you with us, I’ll let you ride one of my custom bikes. 

Joe walks out of room, comes back into the room

			JOE
On second thought, I’m feeling a little nostalgic, let’s take a ride down memory lane, and I’ll explain some of this today. But first lets make a toast at the clubhouse…. to Rick’s first Bike Week. 

			LT
		(turns to Joe)
	Hey Joe can I borrow your lighter?

EXT. MARK’S BROTHER’S HOUSE - DAY

Mark pulls in the driveway of his brother DAN.  
								
INT. DAN’S LIVING ROOM - SAME 

Dan answers the door

			DAN
	Hey Mark what brings you all the way out to 	Tallahassee? 
  
			MARK
	Bro, I’ve got something amazing to show you.

Mark walks in, looks around the room and chuckles

	…I hope I’m not interrupting your social life
 	
			DAN
	Is it about your ghost stuff?  	

			MARK
	Well sort of, but not like before. 

			DAN
	OK, but let’s walk out to Grandpas shop…
	I’m ready to reveal my latest project.

INT. BARN - SAME 

From inside the dark barn, the room illuminates as the barn doors open. The room has lots of old TV repair equipment, some machine shop tools, several computers and a large object covered by sheets.

			DAN
What we discuss has to be kept quite; I have a security clearance, and I really shouldn’t be showing anyone this.
	
			MARK
Well same here, I’d like some confidentiality as well.

			DAN 
		(chuckles)
Ok, I won’t tell anybody that your best friend’s is Casper.

			MARK 
You’re such a dweeb….
	(points at object under sheets) 
….go ahead I know you’re dying to show me this.

			DAN
	To start, have you ever heard of the theory of 	everything? 

			MARK
	I’ve heard you mention it, refresh my memory.
 
They sit down at a table 

			DAN
	Ok, on the sub atomic level, some things can 	exist and behave like waves, and other times 	the same things exist as a particle. 

			MARK
	OK 
		
			DAN
	So as the theory goes, there is no such thing 	as matter, just vibrating frequencies giving 	the illusion of matter. Even gravity has a 	frequency. 
		(excitedly)
(			MORE)
			DAN (cont’d)
	Figure out the frequency and you can manipulate existence.  
		
			MARK
Wow heavy stuff, has this been proven?
		
			DAN  
Not quite yet, but remember me always talking about Tesla?  

			MARK
	The 80’s rock band?  
	
			DAN
No, Nicola Tesla, a scientist from the late 1880’s 
			MARK 
		(Chuckles)
	What he invent the steam engine?  

			DAN
	No, but he was the grandfather of frequency	 	manipulation. In fact the guy once made a 	battleship disappear  

			MARK
	I think I seen that in a movie
 
			DAN
Well, that was Tesla and it was based on a true story, a weird experiment happened, but the facts are unclear. 
	(a beaat)
After his death, Tesla’s notes disappeared, but I got a copy, or what is supposed to be them. 

			MARK
	No shit! 

			DAN
	Unfortunately in the scientific community if 	you mention Tesla, you won’t be taken serious… 	you might as well be chasing UFO’s or Bigfoot.

			MARK
	Or be a Ghost Hunter ha ha. 

			DAN
	So anyway at work, we have the world’s most 	powerful electromagnet. It‘s strong enough to 	levitate small frogs 

			MARK
	Frogs, why frogs ?
		
			DAN
	Because of their water content. You’re getting 	me off track. 
		(a beat)
Even with the success we had, I think they’re going in the wrong direction. It’s like they’re bludgeoning the issue when all they need is a scalpel. 

			MARK	
So bro let me guess….. you think the Tesla method will give better results, but if you say anything you might get canned. 
	(stands up, paces)
So instead you come out here to do your own experiments, but really because …..
	(spreads out arms, laughing, mocking tone)
….you have no girlfriend. 

			DAN
Hey smart ass, you almost got it, except the part of the girl! I’ve been seeing a babe for a few months now. Her name is Katrina and she looks like a movie star. She’s a little wild but a lot of fun.

Dan grabs the air like handle bars
			
			DAN
 	She wants me to get a motorcycle …can you see 	me on one? 

			MARK
Don’t be stupid besides, after you see my video you’ll think differently, you gotta see this to believe it. 

			DAN
We’ll get to that, but first, I was going to show you my stuff.  	

Pulling off a sheet, he reveals a six foot diameter Tesla coil. 
			
			DAN
	It’s a hybrid, some technology is from work, 	but most is pure Tesla. 

Dan turns on a breaker in the panel box.
			
			DAN
	It takes a hour or so for it to charge from a cold start, but quicker once its warmed up. Let’s see your video. 

Dan’s cell phone rings. 

INT. KATRINA’S CAR – LATE AFTERNOON
			
			KATRINA
	Hey baby its Katrina, and I’m on my way to 	Tallahassee to see you. Is that ok?

			DAN (VO)
Uh, sure I have my little brother visiting, but you can still come over. 
	
			KATRINA
	Oh I’d love to meet him. 

FX – LOOKING OUT OF CAR WINDOW AT LANSCAPE

Katrina still fascinated that she can see radio waves broadcasting out of her cell phone, sees the ripples flowing from the tall TV towers. Resembles water drops hitting the surface of a pond at sunset, with rings spanning out.  

			KATRINA (OS)
	I’m about two hours away from the east side of 	Tallahassee. 

INT. BARN - SAME

			DAN
It’ll be dark by then, when you get off exit two oh nine call me back. It’s a little hard to find this place at night.

Mark inserts cd into Dan’s Laptop and plays the video, Dan closes cell phone and looks skeptical

			DAN
	That shimmering could be any number of things. 	Do you usually encounter stuff like that?
	
			MARK
Never seen any thing like it. Now watch maggie, oh we call the electromagtrometer you built for us, we call her maggie. 

			DAN
		(points at screen)
	What do these readings mean? 

			MARK
	Hey you should know, you designed it. 

			DAN
	Well the truth be known, I just fasten off 	the shelf components to pick up slight 	disturbances in the areas you asked for, but I 	didn’t think you’d pick up anything like this…
		(a beat) 	
	….or anything at all for that matter.
		(a beat)	
But The AM radio, spinning compass and maggie all acting up, it probably means something, but since I don’t know anything about your ghost world, you’ll have to figure it out yourself.
 
			MARK
	Since you seem dumbfounded, what I need you  	to help me with is to merge the maggie and the 	video feed together into one picture. 

Dan seems reluctant but takes the helm anyway.

			DAN
I’m gonna take a guess, the shimmering is a field similar to the charge build up in static electricity or before a lightning strike…. except it seems to be moving in a controlled frequency. What station was the radio on? 

			MARK
	AM 960
		
			DAN
		(picks up enthusiasm) 
Ok so radio waves have the ability to jump in harmonics, It can be in any of the harmonics of 960.  

		DAN 
I have a program from the lab that we use to measure light waves passing thru different
gases.  All we have to do is… 
	(types into laptop) 
…loop it and speed it up until we hit the right frequency. 
		
INSERT - LAPTOP SCREEN  

Typing commands, the video resembles a TV set being filmed by cinema camera, the difference in fps shows as rolling bars
	
			DAN (OS)
A little more, just a little more …ooh watch the shimmering, it’s turning to waves. Damm 

Video now looks almost like a plasma or clear fire in slow motion. 

BACK TO SCENE

Computer continues to play loop, Dan moves to second computer.

			MARK 
	You gotta get me a copy of that. 
	
Dan winks at Mark in approval

			DAN
So now for the video sync, at the lab we need a quick fix on a similar situation so we took a home video editing software, and tricked it to switch back and forth between two feeds….
	(snapping fingers)
 	Load maggie’s feed into the other computer

Mark loads the computer

INSERT - LAPTOP SCREEN

Switching 30 times a second alternating between the two computers, the illusion of motion occurs; a little jerky as if at only 15 frames per second. 

BACK TO SCENE			

			MARK
	That’s amazing

Dan fumbles, knocks jewel cases off the counter and makes a grumbling sound

			DAN
	I’ m hurrying because Katrina will be arriving 	soon and we‘ve still got things to do.   

SERIES OF SHOTS

A) Mark duct tapes maggie’s directional antennae to the camcorder. 

B) Dan fires up a small electromagnet coil sitting on the workbench and walks around the room with it. 

C) The video’s gives impressive results. Dan and Mark Hi-Five

BACK TO SCENE

			MARK
	This is too cool

An alarm signals as the large capacitors for the device are charged. Just then Dan cell rings; he answers the phone
as Mark can be seen in the background rolling his eyes.

			KATRINA (VO)
	I’m coming up on the exit now. 

			DAN	
	Ok from the gas station go exactly four and 	4/10 mile , you’ll see an old	barn, just come 	on in when you get here.

 Dan hangs up and walks over to the control panel 

			DAN  
	Let’s fire her up before she arrives. Why 	don’t you video this?  

Dan throws the switch and they see the hair rising on their arms and head. 
			MARK
	Hey you look like a porcupine

INT. KATRINA CAR - NIGHT

Startled, Katrina nearly drives off into ditch as a large luminous pillar of light shoots into the sky. She calls Joe in a panic. 
	
			KATRINA 
	Hey I just seen the sky light up in a big way.

			JOE (VO)
	So, that could be anything. 
	
			KATRINA
	No Joe, this lit up in the other realm. 

Pillar of light goes out, Katrina composes herself
		
			JOE (VO)
What, how can that be, did a Nuke go off or something? Where are you at? 

			KATRINA
	I’m on my way to see my new Prospect, the 	physicist in Tallahassee. I think someone 	should check this out -- 

INT. JOE OFFICE – SAME

			JOE
Katrina, just to let you know I didn’t place the order for this Prospect, the higher up’s did. You said the he is a physicist? ……

Joe grabs a notepad and writes		

INSERT – NOTEPAD

		“Tallahassee / Physicist”

			JOE (OS)
……I can only guess this light has something to do with your mission, so that’ll make you the investigator.

INT. KATRINA’S CAR - SAME
			
			KATRINA
	Great
		(a beat)
	OK, but I’m a little scared, and for the 	record I think this is out of my league.

INT. BARN - NIGHT

			MARK
	Other than our hair standing up, what are we 	supposed to see. 

			DAN
	Were not completely done, inside I have a 	very strong secondary electromagnet that 	still hasn’t been turned on. 
		(reaches for switch)
	You still filming? Here we go. 

Flips switch, still nothing. 

			MARK
	Hey check out maggie. 

INSERT - MAGGIE’S SCREEN WITGH STRONG READINGS

			MARK (OS)
She’s doing something, at least one of your inventions work.

BACK TO SCENE

Dan looks at watch and shuts down the coils.

Mark starts the video editing software, feeding it maggie’s video recording and camcorder’s. In the flicker of the program an image begins to appear.  

Dan scratches his head as he watches the computers

			DAN
	Lil Bro I’m glad you brought your ghost 	equipment, otherwise we’d think nothing 	happened.
 
			MARK 
	So whose the crack pot now?

Mark motions to hi-five again but Dan looks at his watch and leaves him hangin’.

			DAN
	Mark you need to shut down now, not a word to 	Katrina. She should be here any min --

The door opens. Mark can’t believe his eyes
  		
			MARK
		(softly)
	My goofy SOP brother is dating her?  

Katrina playfully jumps, hugs and straddles Dan while she plants a lipstick kiss on his cheek. 

			DAN 
	This is my little brother Mark

 Mark and Katrina shake hands and make brief pleasantries.

			KATRINA 
	So what are you boys doing in here… 
	(suspiciously)
…and what’s this big thing in the middle of the floor. 
		
			DAN
	Oh that, its something my grandfather left 	behind. I think it came out of the old mill or 	the phone company…. 
		(a beat)
…any way we were just catching up on old times. 
 
			MARK
If you’ll excuse me for a second, I wanna shut down the computers

While they talk, Mark resumes at the computers. He runs thru the other program that speeds up the loop. 

INSERT – LAPTOP SCREEN

Slowly, a shimmering similar to his biker footage began to appear. 

BACK TO SCENE

Reflection of computer screen in Marks face

			MARK 
		(softly)
	I knew he’s smart, but this is mind blowing. 	This must be operating in another dimension.	

Dan and Katrina motions Mark over to join them for some shots. Mark joins in although not a heavy drinker. 

			KATRINA 
	If I knew you were here I could’ve brought one 	of my girlfriends.

Mark tries to sip the shot and Katrina starts laughing  

			KATRINA
	No silly just slam it down like this.  

Mark slams it down. As love birds are making small talk, Mark eyes keep wandering over to her breast, her legs. She catches him, but looks like she enjoys the audience. Katrina gets up and sits in Dan’s lap. To keep his wandering eyes occupied, Mark turns towards the work station.  

			DAN 
Do you hear radio static? I thought I heard something. 
	(a beat)
Hey Mark there’s a radio over by the computer, go put on some tunes. 

Mark walks back over to computers, notices maggie is still active and picking up something. He looks at the antennae taped to the camera; It’s pointing right at Katrina! By now Katrina starts to dance, she has moves like you’d see at a strip club. Mark, covertly turns on the camcorder and leaves it on the bench. He runs both sets of software. 

			MARK 
		(softly)
	Oh damn, she one of them, this is bad. 

Looking around the room, he sees the device coils are still charged and ready to go. 

			MARK 
		(softly)
	Hmmm, I know ghost are sensitive to 	electromagnetic fields and I bet this thing is 	too.  

Dan goes to relive himself. Mark goes over and pours another shot. Tanks it down, and throws the switch. Katrina screams like hot water thrown on her. Mark pushes her into the device, runs over and grabs the camcorder. Dan comes running out. 

			DAN
	What the hell happened? 

			MARK
	She’s one of them, like the bikers. I‘ve got 	it on video. 

Katrina stops screaming and calmly, semi dazed sits upright in her seat. She stares blankly into space as Dan shakes her

			DAN
	Are you all right? 

Her eyes move slowly to his 

			KATRINA
	Yes.  

Dan storms over to Mark 

			DAN
	What is the meaning of this, you didn’t even 	drink that much! 

Mark puts up his hands, palms out in surrender posture.

			MARK
	Before you hit me, look at what I’m filming 	…watch the computer. 

Dan stares in disbelief. 

INSERT – LAPTOP SCREEN

The flickering computer screen shows an energy source covering the device, at it’s core; a moving something in the center. Rewinding the video he clearly recognizes it. 

			DAN (OS)
	It’s just like the bikers. Run it through the 	other program. 

The shimmering produces a molten glob of the clear fire. 

BACK TO SCENE

			MARK 
		(triumphantly)
	These results are the nail in the coffin. Your 	device has trapped it.  

Dan grabs Katrina’s purse and dumps it on the table, finds her license and a few photos of Katrina with a little girl. He also sees needles and a drug vial. 

			DAN
	What, are you a heroin addict too?  

			KATRINA
 	No it’s Mind X it allows access to my 	facilities. 

			MARK
	Mind X, that’s the stuff the other biker 	mentioned. 

Grabbing some plastic ties, Mark makes a set of handcuffs. In a moment of bluffing….

			MARK 
Now you listen here chica, we know about your ancestor Lucy, Mind X, and your chain of command. And we know about upcoming bike week. We’re gonna stop the big plan while it’s still in the early stages.

Dan, hoping to make a point even though he has no idea what his brother is talking about, chimes in.

			DAN 
		(Waives his ID)
	Yeah you don’t think I have a top security 	clearance for nothing. 

			MARK 
	You fell into our trap. 
		(pointing at coils)
	And so did your friend. 

Katrina is visibly scared. Signs of drinking are catching up with her.

			MARK
	Say something, you little freak bitch

			KATRINA
	I failed…. 
		(beat)
	…in all the years the Originals existed, never has one been captured by a human.

Mark pulls Dan to the side
		
			MARK
	Do you think they’re after you or me. Our team 	did have a talk with that biker guy in the 	hospital. What if this is a trap and others 	were on the way. 

			DAN
	Are you saying that you interviewed one of 	these things before? Time to get me up to 	speed don’t you think?

Katrina starts to puke

INT. BIKE CLUBHOUSE - DAY

Rick holds a set of darts in hand and walks towards bar. LT puts Joe’s lighter in his vest pocket hands Rick a beer. Watching Joe wheel out a classic bike, the Lt yells out window.

			LIEUTENANT
	Are you feeling nostalgically suicidal today? 

Lt turns towards Rick

			LIEUTENANT
	Ever seen Joe’s World War II era Indian?
	It has a suicide shift

			RICK
	No, what’s a suicide shift?

			LT
They call it a suicide shift because instead of shifting with your foot, his Indian has a hand lever that comes up by your knee. You have to take your hand off handlebars to shift.
		
			RICK 
	That must suck making a left turn at a traffic 	light. 

			LT 
	Hey no guts no glory, right?							

EXT. OUTSIDE BIKE SHOP - DAY

The men load up on bikes. 

EXT. DOWNTOWN FERNANDINA – SAME

Cruising, Rick hears singing thru static. Sounds like Joe singing old sailor songs. 

EXT. ARRIVE AT PALACE SALOON

They park biker and enter saloon

INT. PALACE BAR - SAME

Joe, Rick and LT’S walk in take a seat. The Palace Saloon has 
a charm from another era. The bar and surrounding décor are ornate originals from the 1800’s. 

			JOE
	I love this old place, its one of the oldest 	saloons in Florida. 

INSERT – WALL MURAL

A mural of a pirate captain as his men rally behind him. Phrase at bottom says “Stand and Deliver”. 

BACK TO SCENE

			JOE 
	Those were the days

Lieutenants chime in agreement. 

			LIEUTENANT
Hey let me tell about a recent hunting trip. It was a last minute thing and I didn’t have…
			(MORE)
			LIETENANT (con’t)
….a gun so I told the guys I’d just video tape the event. Of course true to my nature brought my bushman stick. 

			RICK
	What’s a bushman stick? 
				
			LT 2
 	A spear that you throw with a sling, it 	increases the power greatly.

			LIEUTENANT 
So, no luck all weekend, in fact they put their rifles up in disgust, but then, just as we were about to give up….  

FLASHBACK – WOODS - DAY

SERIES OF SHOTS

A) A deer races across field.

B) LT grabs his spear, runs up and throws.

D) Spear flies thru air, POV from spears shaft, deer in sight rapidly approaching

E) A look of shock on the other hunter’s faces.

F) Biker grinning carrying deer over shoulder

BACK TO PRESENT

		LT 
You should have seen the look on their face when that deer dropped. 

Laughter, LT’s make OOEeee sound. 

			LIEUTENANT 2
	Rick, I wanna show you another biker trick. 

A look of caution and dread on Rick’s face

			RICK 
	Sure ok, but is this gonna get weird again?

			LT 1 	
		(chuckles)
	Of course, but that’s where the fun is	

			LT 2
	I’m gonna throw your drink towards you so get 	ready to catch it. 

Joe checks to see if anyone is looking 

			JOE
	All clear 

LT folds his arms, the drink swiftly shoots across and falls off the end of the table. Rick drops it out of fright. 

			RICK
	What the f***?

The men chuckle. A sudden change of mood and a look of concern came over them as they scan room. 

			JOE
	Come on let’s go. Things are getting ugly 	around here.

EXT. ARRIVE AT FT CLINCH SATE PARK - DAY 

A historic fort of late 1800’s, complete with old canons,   and civil war era enactors in uniforms.  

EXT. SIT ON RAMPART - SAME

	Did I hear your crazy singing earlier or was I 	imagining it? 

Chuckle, Joe speaks with a pirate’s draw 

			JOE
	O’you heard the voice of the Fernandina Pirate

Rick addresses the LT’s
	
			RICK
Impressive display you put on at the Palace, but what was going on that made us leave in such a hurry?      
		
			LT’s IN UNISON
	Ghost!
 
			RICK   
	You can see ghost? Damn this is getting 	freakier all the time. 

			JOE
Well yes and no on the freaky side, depends on your understanding of things.
 
One of the Lt’S blurts out 

			LT
	Joe, can I tell him what we saw? 

			JOE
	Sure go ahead, he needs to learn.

			LT’S IN UNISON 
	We saw Joe’s ghost! 

LT’S are laughing hard

			RICK
	Bullshit, you saw Joe’s ghost. 

Rick goes up and feels Joe’s forehead 

			RICK
	He still feels alive to me. 

			JOE
	Ok knock it off you guys, Rick all seriousness  	we can see a lot of things. 
		
			RICK
	What the hell are you? You talk in my head, 	move objects and now you see your own ghost! 	Are you even human? 
			
			JOE
Of course… we are not angels, demons, aliens or ghost. We are neither. We’re guys like you that have accepted an understanding

			RICK
	To be honest with you, there’s one side of me 	thinks you’re full of shit and another that 		sort of accepts this because I have seen with 	my own eyes. Now remember I work in the field 	of science, and logic rules. There hasn’t been 	any logic since I met you all.  

LT’S in a static unison voice 

			LT’S STATIC (VO) 
	So get over it. 

Rick fidgets with his dew rag

			RICK
Ok, I’m trying to follow this, so let’s get back to the ghost story 

			LT 1
First, you have to understand what ghost are. When a life passes to the other side they go thru a strainer, leaving useless stuff behind…. Thus making your typical ghost. They’re not a full life form. They‘re more like a broken record or skipping cd energized by ethereal energy. 

			LT 2
Every once in a while a phenomenon from the outside comes thru and cleans up excess ghost leftover. They’re like hurricanes from another world.  		

			JOE 
	If you encounter our own ghost, it’s like 	running thru a house of mirrors while you’re 	stoned. 

			LT
	It‘s like the ghost of Christmas past from the 	movies…

			JOE
		(sternly)
	Avoid ghost. That’s enough said on the subject

			RICK
	So Joe, you make it sound like you lived other 	lives.  

			JOE
	Don’t confuse this with reincarnation… its 	nothing like that. But I have lived several 	lives and so have they. 
		(points to LT’s)
	Let me tell you how we came to America.  
I was an African chief and we came over on a slave boat. We allowed ourselves to be captured and later converted to pirates and sailed the seven seas. 
	(spreads out arms)
Ended up in here and even participated in the famous invasion of Fernandina. It was the ghost of the pirate me that we were avoiding. Look, let me show this.

 Joe pulls out a gold medallion
 
			JOE
This is just one of many souvenirs I’ve kept. 	
			LT 1
	How do you think we bank roll the bike club? 

			LT 2 
	Old money

			JOE
	One thing you’ll want to learn in this 	lifestyle is to stay under the radar.  

A park ranger approaches and informs them the park is closing. As the ranger leaves, Joe continues.

			JOE
	The Bike club allows us to meet, gather and 	organize while staying under the radar. 
	
			LT
	We also like the adventure the biker lifestyle 	offers….. 
		(a beat)
	…it suits our hunter gather instincts.
	
			JOE  
Rick, are you willing to accept this, ‘cuz from this point you’ll have to experience it to understand anymore of this. 
	(a beat)
This is voluntary and if you want more.. the power to read thoughts, move objects, to know the real history of mankind, you’ll have to come to Daytona with us. Were leaving tomorrow, call in sick or something.

			RICK
	I already put in for vacation.

INT. BART’S HOUSE - NIGHT

INSERT – ANSWERING MACHINE

			MARK (VO)
Bart this is Mark, I have a top level emergency …pick up the phone, pick up the phone, pick up the phone.  

BACK TO SCENE

Bart is wearing a Tarzan outfit, Karen in the background is seen dressed like Jane. Bart puts the call on speaker phone 

			BART
	What’s up with calling me at 11:30 at night?

			MARK (VO)
  	Bart, my brother and I might be in trouble, or 	should I say we started trouble. We need you 	and Karen to come out to my Grampa’s shop 	out in Tallahassee.  

			BART
	Tallahassee, are you kidding? 

			MARK (VO)
No Bart, it’s the most incredible thing, but maybe we shouldn’t discuss it on the phone.  
	
			BART
	Can’t you just come back and tell me about it 	in the morning? 
	
			MARK (VO)
	No time is critical, besides we’re breaking 	the law so you gotta come quick….

Bart turns toward Karen.

			BART
	Sorry Jane.

INT. BARN - NIGHT

			MARK
(pulls phone from ear, mouths silently)
	Who’s Jane?

LATER

Bart and Karen arrive at the barn and find a young woman tied up.

			BART
	Are you crazy? That’s false imprisonment! 

			MARK
	We know but she’s dangerous, let me show you 	this first before you flip out. 

The computers reflect off their faces as they view the videos of Katrina’s ordeal.

			KAREN
	Dan you are one brilliant man. 

			BART
I’m glad you called. Obliviously she’s like the bikers.  

			DAN
	And she confirmed it also.
			
			MARK
She seems fairly cooperative, but I think Karen should do her hypnosis thing and get the truth out of her.

Karen breaks out hypnosis kit

INSERT – HYNOSIS DEVICE IN MOVEMENT

BACK TO SCENE

			KAREN
	3-2-1, Katrina can you hear me? 

			KATRINA
	Yes 

			KAREN
	You are now under hypnosis and I have a few 	things to ask you, but first…. 
		(gives Mark a dirty look)
	…We’ll untie you if you promise you won’t run 	away.
			
			KATRINA
	OK 
	
			KAREN
	Start from the beginning; tell us about 	yourself and how you got involved with this.  

			KATRINA 
I was born and raised in Jacksonville and working as an exotic dancer. My life was spiraling out of control. I was about to loose
		(MORE) 
		KATRINA (cont’d)
custody of my daughter to HRS. The bikers were frequent patrons of the club and were good tippers. They looked out for me and when they heard about my troubles with HRS, they stepped in and set her up in a fancy exclusive boarding school. 

They group looked at each other with raised eyebrows

			KATRINA
	It’s the school where the rich and the
politicians send their kids. By doing this I have kept legal custody of my daughter and given her a life of privilege. 

			KAREN
	So what’s the trade off, surely they just 	didn’t help you for nothing?  

			KATRINA
I would have to serve them and be a recruiter, like a spy. 

Dan hangs his head low

			KAREN
	So who are you spying on here? 

			KATRINA
Dan, but I don’t know why yet. I called my boss and he didn’t even know. He said he didn’t give the orders this time, but they came from our superiors, the OLDTIMERS. My boss Joe, thinks it has to do with Dan being a physicist.
 
Pausing a moment, Karen holds the vial of Mind X
	
			KAREN
	This vial of Mind X, what’s in it? 

			KATRINA
	It is a mixture of well known drugs, FDA 	approved cocktail as it was described to me. 

			KAREN
	What does it do?

			KATRINA
	It opens my mind to the will and suggestive 	control of my OOE 
		(points at the device)

			KAREN
	Suggestive control, explain that please
			
			KATRINA
	Well that’s a mutual thing, but when I’m on 	Mind X I have little resistance to suggestion. 
	
			KAREN
	Why is that so important?  
	
			KATRINA
Because the Originals have almost no power over the modern human mind. Their specialty were primitive creatures that were more like primates. They need a person to be either on Mind X, drunk, stoned or the old Zombie drug. Mind X allows you to be most of your natural self and still participate with the OOE.  

			KAREN
	Do you think this hypnosis session has been 	affected by Mind X? 
	
			KATRINA
	Oh yeah. 

			KAREN
	What does OOE stand for? 

			KATRINA
	Occupying Original Entity, and it’s also the 	sound that the little creatures made. 

			KAREN	
	Little creature, do you mean Lucy? 

			KATRINA
	Yes exactly 

Karen sits back in her chair 
	
			KAREN
Let’s hear about the Originals. How far back do they go?  

			KATRINA
	A long way, back before Adam and Eve. 
			
			KAREN
	You’re doing real good, keep going

			KATRINA
	My group was trapped in Antarctica, we 	migrated there as the competition between the 	modern man and Lucy’s generation started to 	clash. At one time there were three races of 	human species on earth, Lucy’s race, 	Neanderthal and Modern man like today. 

			KAREN
	You say you migrated, do you mean sail? 

			KATRINA
	No it was at a time when he Antarctica was a 	great place, before Peleg. The earth was 	different and Antarctica was wrapped around 	the back end of Africa. When the land divided 	we were trapped. 

			KAREN 
	What is a Peleg? 

			KATRINA
It’s is a knick name we use to describe this time period, but it’s really a name out of the Bible but I don’t know anything about it, I wasn’t much of a church gal. I escaped when my boss Joe, sailed his slave ships into Antarctica to pick up the lost Originals like myself. The last ones left with Admiral Byrd’s expedition. 

			KAREN
	Are there many of you? 

			KATRINA
	Yes, about six million on earth. 

The group looks startled in fearful amazement. Sounds of rain hitting the metal roof and developing thunder is heard. 

			KAREN 
	Is there anything else you’d like to add? 
		
			KATRINA
	Yes, I’d like to say something to Dan. 
		(a beat, with teary eyes)
Dan, I am very sorrow for all of this. I think you’re a wonderful guy, the kind of guy women don’t think exist anymore. I wish I could of met you under different circumstances.  

Katrina leans to kiss Dan. Her eye’s says she really cares. Mark cuts her off, blurts out as he films the session

			MARK
	Don’t listen to that vixen.

The barn rattles in a thunderous boom and the lights go out! Maggie, the camera and computers were plugged into the UPS power supply. In the dark they watch the playback of Katrina and the Original escaping. Lighting candles, Fear grips them.

			BART
	Dan this place won’t be safe, not with six 	million phantoms running around.

			KAREN
	For that matter, is anywhere safe?

			MARK
	Let’s get packing, Dan be sure to grab copies 	of those programs. Oh hell just grab your 
	laptops.

INT. GH VAN ON HWY - SUNRISE

EXT. ARRIVING AT PANCAKE HOUSE - SURISE

A small, non franchise diner with a half lit neon sign. Glass windows on three sides. 

INT. INSIDE DINER - MORNING

The group grabs a table and a waitress approaches

			WAITRESS

Waitress points to van with GH logo

			WAITRESS
	I think we have some TV stars, well coffee 	will be on me. So what’ll you’ll have. The 	Spanish omelets and to die for. 
		(a beat)
	What was that show any how?

			KAREN
	It was documentary show

			BART
	Yeah, the omelets sounds great

The group ask for the same, waitress exits

			MARK
	If you’ll excuse me, I have to make a trip to 	the little boy’s room

			DAN
	Notice he doesn’t say the Men’s room, he knows 	his place

			KAREN
	Two peas in a pod I tell ya

INT. MEN’S RESTROOM - SAME

While Mark is in the stall, sounds of motorcycle rumblings vibrate thru walls. A look of fear on his face.

INT. BART’S TABLE – SAME
 
The crew peek thru the blinds as large group of bikers circle the building. The roar is loud
		
			BART
Damn, I knew I should’ve taken the logo off the van….
		(turns to Dan, shaking his head)
	…it’s only a magnetic sign.

Bikers come in loudly, and since the GH group are only other customers all eyes are drawn to them. 

INT. RESTROOM ENTRANCE - SAME

Some bikers sit in both next to Men’s room. Mark comes out of restroom, bumps into biker 1. Biker 2 at table speaks

Points to both, Mark sits

INT. BART’S TABLE - SAME

Mark can be seen in background
		
			DAN
	I gotta get over there.

			BART
		(grabs Dan forearm)
	Don’t jump the gun, let’s see what happens

A few tense moments grip the air as more bikers sit at the counter and surround the group. Mark gets up and walks back to their table.

			DAN
	What’d they say?

			BART
	Are we up the creek?

Mark throws a folded piece of paper on the table, the group pause and stare at it. Karen grabs and reads

			KAREN
	Christian Motor Bike Club

			MARK
		(laughing)
	They just wanted to preach a little.

The group throws their napkins at Mark.

INT. VAN - DAY

Bart dials Rob on cell phone. The reflection of the magnetic sign laying on dash can be seen in the windshield.

INTERCUT – TELEPHONE CONVERSATION – BART AND ROB
			
			BART
	Hello, Rob its Bart, what are you up to?
	
			ROB 
	My wife and I are at our river cabin.  

			BART
	Sounds nice, listen you remember you wanted to 	get involved with the biker phenomenon. 
		
			ROB 
		(sarcastically)
Yeah sure, but weren’t you advising me to stay out of it. 

	

			BART
Well we could use some support right about now. I have the whole crew with me and….

EXT. ROB’S CABIN – DAY

The van pulls into driveway; Its an old singlewide on stilts.

INT. INSIDE CABIN - SAME

They watch the tail end of the Katrina video.

			BART
We don’t know what to expect now. Are we wanted on kip napping charges… Or are we gonna be hunted by six million phantom bikers? We need a place to lay low for a few days to see what happens. 

			ROB
	Mi cabin is your cabin. 

Dan looks depressed.

B) Dan’s home cooked candle light dinner 

C) Laughing together at circus 

D) Laying on the roof watching the stars

BACK TO PRESENT

Mark is bent over, arms straddle coffee table and in Dan’s face.
		
			MARK
	Get over her, she’s bad for you. 
		(Straightens up)
	Think of it as good riddance. 

			KAREN 
	Well I think it’s a little romantic. Under 	hypnosis she expressed her true feeling for 	Dan…. 
		(Places her arm around Dan)
	…Oh poor Dan

Mark makes a puking, finger down throat gesture behind Dan’s back. Rob tries to change the subject.	

			ROB
You know I’ve been preparing for the Daytona trip. Bike Week is about three weeks away so I bought a some parts off an internet auction to get my bike in better shape….

		BART
Oh yeah

		ROB 
….and I‘m thinking of having the bike shop in Fernandina install the parts. That’ll give me a foot in the door to checkout their layer.
	(a beat) 
Maybe I’ll put out feelers to join their club. 
		
			SHANA
	I think you’re playing with fire, and I’m not 	sure I want to ride with those creepy guys.

			BART
	Rob, Shana… any thoughts or comments on the 	video?

			SHANA 
	I’ll take the podium, I just want to say, that 	before I start throwing my nice scientific 	models out the window, we need to ask,
		(starts in Professor mode)
	Are there any other possible explanations? 	Could this Mind X just be inducing 	hallucinations amongst the bikers?  Were they 	hypnotized into believing this?  

			KAREN 
	That’s a possibility, the military used a 	combination of drugs and hypnosis to create 	false realities in test subjects.  

			DAN 
So we must be hallucinating too, because we just watched it on video… we imprisoned one and that’s something we can’t ignore!

INT. SHANA’S OFFICE AT COLLEGE - DAY

Shana sits in her office at work and studies the two skulls in hand; One human, the other primate. Getting up, she looks at the Man’s Evolution poster from previous dream.

			SHANA

	What are you looking at?

INT. HALLWAY – DAY

Shana walks down to the DEPARTMENT OF RELIGIOUS STUDIES. Opens door and sees intern JUDY.

			JUDY
	Hello professor what brings you into our 	department, seen the light?

			SHANA
Oh Judy, I didn’t know you were interning here.  No, I didn’t see any light. But I do need a small favor, you have a bible database?
  
			JUDY
	Sure, what do you need?  

			SHANA
Can you look up the word Peleg, a student of mine made reference to it. Sort of like you use to do.

Judy proudly grins at her last comment and accesses the database 
	
			JUDY
Ok we have several hits, It is a name of a person in the Old Testament, Genesis chapter 10 verse 25. It’s mixed in with a bunch of the he begats and so on. That’s how they chronicled time back then. 
	(typing commands) 
There are other mentions in the book of Numbers. His name seems to have a meaning to it. 

			SHANA
	Oh yeah what’s that? 

			JUDY 
	It means, the day the earth divided.  

Shana stands in disbelief

			JUDY (OS)
	Are you ok, you look like you seen a ghost?  

EXT. CABIN DRIVEWAY - DAY

Dan is packing to leave

			MARK
Please don’t go, it‘s not safe.. what if you’re ambushed.

			KAREN
	He’s right, who know what’ll be waiting for.

			DAN
	Well I can’t keep making excuses at work, and  	I’m getting cabin fever….
		(a beat)
Besides, I don’t think Katrina will do anything to hurt me.

			MARK
	You’re such a dumb ass, I better go with you.

			KAREN
	You’re gonna leave me here by myself?

Mark pulls her aside as Dan continues to pack. 

			MARK
		(whispers)
I’ve got to make sure Romeo doesn’t try to make contact with that bitch … Where’d Bart go anyway.

			KAREN
	He went to Daytona. He’s got the idea of
	getting a photography permit so we won’t be 	hassled by the Police, he hopes maybe it’ll 	give access to other areas.

EXT. CAMPGROUND - DAY

Rick and Joe drive to the very back and see a set of gates with small stenciled sign of Lucy wired to it. Campground has huge high power transmission lines and power transformers; looks like mini power plant. They pull up to a motor coach. 
	
		RICK
	Who’s is this? 

		JOE
	It’s ours for the whole week. 

		RICK
	No shit!
		
		JOE
	The bike club is loosely affiliated with other 	clubs internationally. I say loosely because 	its part of staying under the radar. This  	whole section will be for our Biker’s Ball.  

Joe chuckles, opens coach door
		
			JOE
		(with a snooty British accent)
	Did you bring your tux? 

INT. MOTORCOACH - DAY 

			JOE
	The rest of the club will be 	arriving soon. 

Joe opens fridge and grabs two beers
			
			JOE
	Are you up for the initiation? 

Rick nods yes while popping a beer cap off, kicks back in a captain’s chair. Joe opened the fridge again and pulls out a medicine vial. 

			JOE
	This is Mind X. It’s a mix of the drugs that you give hyperactive kids and the stuff for anxiety, anti-depression. 
	
			RICK
Why, are all the bikers depressed and fidgety?
  
			JOE
	No smart ass, it’s the side effects that 	empower us. 
		(Pours some in Rick’s beer)
	Now drink up   

			RICK
Hey man, I don’t like idea of taking a homemade mix of drugs. 

			JOE
Relax, you’ve already been under the influence lots of times. You know the static sound you hear when the… 
	(makes expression)
Weird stuff happens? Well its only achieved when on Mind X.  

			RICK
	So this drug will give me telepathic powers? 

			JOE
	No Mind X won’t give you anything, it allows 	you to receive telepathic powers. 

Rick slams down the beer 

			RICK
(Slams beer down on counter, demanding tone)
Now damn it, enough of this double talk, tell me the truth, the secrets. How you’ve lived other lives, and how do move objects and… 			(MORE)
		RICK (cont’d)
…communicate thru thought 
		(a beat)
How’d I plant a thought in that girl.

			JOE
Ok here we go. But I need to start from the beginning
		(Pauses to gather thoughts)  
Back before the days of modern man, there lived a species of Early humans that were simpler in construction. They were smaller with smaller brains, they were the same as Lucy here
		(Points to a picture)
	This early race … think of the relationship 	between hardware and software, hand in glove. 	
Rick starts to hear static.  
		
			JOE
This race was controlled and run by our friends the Originals…. entities of energy and intelligence that live in a dimension slightly out of shift from our own. The Originals were like puppet masters. Their host, the Lucy race, could only act and react in the realm of reflex and instinct. Without the influence of the originals, man’s ancestors would have perished long ago. 

			RICK
	That would mean no modern human race today.
	
			JOE 
You’re catching on… We, they gave social skills, tool making, leadership and even without developed vocal cords, allowed them communicate thru telepathy. 

			RICK 
	This is absurd. 

Rick hears a static voice other than Joe’s. It’s the OOE 

			OOE (VO) 1
	Why is that so strange?  

Rick looks around confused, can’t tell directions of voice
		
			OOE 2
	There are many mysteries of the world we 	can teach you. 

			JOE
	We are with our friends now and as you’ll 	see for yourself, the many more millions of 	them. 

			RICK
	Millions? 

			JOE
	Yes and you’re fortunate to be chosen by such 	a high ranking one at that. The majority of 	them are simpler and can’t interact with the 	human race like they could with the earlier 	species. That is why our kind… 
		(pointing at himself and Rick) 
	….were created for leadership. Of course you 	still need to learn how to interact with your 	own, and there is no better trainer than the 	Zombie. 

			RICK
		(cautiously, impatiently)
	What’s the Zombie  
	
			JOE
	It’s what you and me brought over from Africa 	that changed the destiny of our race. 
		
			RICK
		(raising voice)
	This is getting crazier by the moment. I’m 	not going to have a puppet master pulling my 	strings. 

			JOE
	Hey calm down. Nobody’s gonna control you. 
You’ll still have your life, your job, house the only difference is that you’ll be….
		(MORE) 
		
		JOE (cont’d)
….enhanced with help from outside. Overtime you’ll learn the memories of previous host. Can you even imagine the knowledge you’ll glean? And are you ready for this? 

Joe gets up with excitement

			JOE
	If you’re found trustworthy, you’ll share in 	the accumulated wealth of the prior host! What 	do you think of that? 

Rick’s hostility lowers as he realizes the wealth potential
		
			JOE
 	I know for a fact there is a numbered account 	in the Cayman Islands waiting for you to cash 	in on. 

Joe pulls out his gold medallion

			JOE
	You even had a share in this. 

Rick thinks deeply on his words. 

			RICK
	So continue on with the story of Originals

			JOE 
	Let me continue with some of mans history.
Just as the dinosaurs were the great terra formers and prepared the earth, the Originals prepared for modern man. More than just a prototype, they stood in proxy, and like the dinosaur their qualities range from the extreme to crude. 
	(picks up picture of Lucy)
As I mentioned earlier the relationship between software and hardware… well as with any computer system there is constant updating.

Population of Lucy’s kind and many of them escaped to Antarctica. 

			RICK 
	Antarctica, that just a frozen waste land. 	How’d they survive, and how’d they even get 	there?
		
			JOE 
That’s a whole ‘nuther subject. But yes, their host died out in a few hundred years when the climate changed. These Antarctic’s are considered…
	(trying to say politely)
…well weaker than our kind because they ran instead of learning to how evolve. 
		
			OOE 1(VO)  
	Always treat your brothers with respect

			OOE 2(VO)
	Look after them, for they are weaker and need 	guidance

			JOE
We were the leaders, we ran entire tribes of modern man all they way up to the 1600’s! There were others that didn’t run and became influential throughout Europe and the Roman Empire. 

			RICK
	This is incredible, mind boggling

			JOE
We refer to these as the Old-timers and they’re greatly respected. We are technically considered Old-timers too, even though we weren’t part of the European dynasties. 

			RICK
	So how did you influence without Mind X, since 	these are recent drugs. 

			JOE
This is where the Zombie comes in. The legend of the zombie is usually associated with Voodoo in Haiti. 

			RICK
	Yea but I heard it was really a powerful drug 	that put a person in a trance so he could be 	controlled by a master. 

As Rick speaks these words, he realizes what he just said. 
	
			JOE 
		(points to Rick)
	Yeah, you got it. There was no Voodoo 	involved. The zombie drug dropped their 	mental abilities to the level of a Lucy.
		(a beat) 	
	Now all this started from our clans in Africa  
	
			OOE (VO)
	We had several hundreds of thousands of humans 	on Zombie. We ran an organized society where 	the majority of the population had an Original 	controlling them. 

			JOE 
	In the case of Zombie it’s nearly full 	control. A person wouldn’t function right in 	today society on Zombie, so just to assure you 	Mind X is a totally different experience. 

			RICK
	I guess this is where the story of the slave 	boat comes in. 

			JOE
	Yes sir

Joe sips his beer, gets up and reenacts his story 

			JOE 
We had seen the ships off the coast poking around….

FLASHBACK – AFRICA 

SUPER: AFRICA 1632

SERIES OF SHOTS

A) Sunset silhouette of tall ship off shore.

B) Four African males canoe out to ship at night

C) Africans sneak over ship’s rail

D) Dip blow darts in poison bag and take out guards.

E) Opens deck door and sees many slaves in chains

F) Sneak in Captains quarters, sticks him with poison dart, Captain wakes but then his eyes roll back.

G) African grabs Captain by head and scans him, CU of African

BACK TO PRESENT

			JOE 
We drugged the crew one by one and made them white zombies out of them. 
		(chuckles)
	It was the first time we’d seen white people.
		(a beat) 	
	We gathered up our tribesman to experience 	these new and mysterious places.  
		(sips beer)
We were now rich white men with sailing ships! So we ended up in Hati, known then as the Island of Hispenola. It had became a major slave trading area.		
FLASHBACK – HATI –DAY

A) A slave wakes up in a strange room

B) CU, A comical version of panic on slave’s face
 
			JOE (VO)
	When those poor bastards came out of their 	Zombie stupor, they found themselves sold off 	as slaves in a strange land….

C) Slave jumps up and runs into a closed door.

			JOE (VO)
		(chuckles) 
….and for the first time in their life having to think for themselves.  

BACK TO PRESENT

			RICK
		(upset)
	That’s f***ing terrible  
		
			JOE
	Well, yes I agree now, but back then we  	still thought like hunter gatherers.
		(shrugs)
 	Political Correctness, there was no such thing

			OOE (VO)
	The whole world operated under a class system 	then, and we were still learning and evolving.

			JOE
	Eventually we sailed down to the Antarctic and 	picked up most of the stranded brethren.

EXT. SUPERMARKET PARKING LOT -DAY

Rob, Shana and the GH team meet up at a nearby supermarket parking lot. 

			ROB
So what do you think of the ole jalopy, looks a lot better since the last time you seen it?  

			BART
	Noticeable difference for sure.

Karen addresses Shana

			KAREN
	Don’t you look sexy in your leathers

Mark grabs the camcorder in a playful manner

			MARK 
	Yeah I think a need to scan you for paranormal
	Activity.

			ROB 
	You can scan my foot up your ass.
 
			BART
We could only get reservations for one room, and we’re lucky to get that even. We’ll have to bunk up. 

			ROB
	Like a bunch of college kids, it won’t be the 	first time that’s happened in Daytona.

INT. HOTEL ROOM - DAY 

The Hotel is a dump, and the ladies are afraid to touch anything. 

			SHANA
No need to hang out in this nasty room any more time than necessary

			ROB
	I agree, let’s go exploring. We’ll take 	the bike around town to sees what’s happening.

Mark addresses Bart and Dan

			MARK 
	It’s time for maggie to do a little snooping, 	don’t cha think? But first… 

Mark reaches in his bags ,pulls out folder
		
			MARK
….I’ve taken the liberty to make some fake business cards, id’s and press passes. With your phony Photo permits we’ll look pretty legit. 

The group praises him

EXT. MAIN STREET - DAY

Hanging the camera out the window, they immediately have several hits.  

INT. VAN – SAME

			MARK
Man do you think it’s wise to be here, it seems like they are everywhere?  

			BART
	Don’t be a chicken and keep filming. 

Some female bystanders see the video camera give them a flash lifting their tops. The van bust out in laughter. 

			BART
		(chuckles)
	Like I said, keep filming.  

			MARK
My God, their must be forty or fifty of them going in that place. 

Traffic is at a crawl, Karen jumps out of the van, runs back to Rob and Shana, who are behind them. 

			KAREN
We just had a whole bunch of them go into that club, go and check it out, call us if you get into trouble.
 
Without realizing it Rob and Shana go into a strip club. 

INT. STRIP CLUB – SAME
		
			ROB
	Honey, do you have any dollar bills?

Shana is obviously uneasy as the girls in the club are paying more attention to Shana than Rob. A few round of drinks, 

			ROB 
	Since the ladies are giving you all the 	attention, I think you should tip them. 

			SHANA
	I can’t do that

			ROB
		(leans over and whispers)
	We’re undercover, they are all around us so 	please play the part.

As Shana tips a few ladies, they move closer to the group they’re following, close enough to hear conversations. A bold couple from the group approaches and sits at their table. 

			MAN 
	We noticed you kept looking our direction.
	
			WOMAN
	I noticed you like the ladies as much as I do.  

Shana is mortified and speechless. 

			WOMAN
My husband and I was wondering If you two would like to join us for a little swinging action? 

			ROB
	Uh, no thanks we tried it once but it wasn’t 	our thing. 

Shana can’t believe what she’s hearing. Rob keeps the conversation going

			ROB
	We just arrived here today, is there anything 	big happening tonight? 

			MAN
	Yea there’s a big party at the campground. You 	and your old lady should come out, and we’re 
	sorry for approaching you that way, we 	should’ve used better discretion. 

			ROB
	It’s Ok. 

			MAN
The party is gonna start first at the Boothill When you get there tell the doorman you’re there for the Biker’s Ball, ’cause I’m 	not sure what campground it’s at. There’s several of them. It’ll be a swinging time

			ROB
	Thanks we’ll probably be there.

The woman winks as couple gets up and leave. Shana 
slaps Rob on the arm. 

			SHANA
	I would… never, never do that
			
			ROB 
		(chuckles)
	I wouldn’t of thought you’d stick dollar bills 	in a woman’s G-string either …. But you did

Shana slaps Robs arm again

			SHANA
	You’re such a jerk, why’d I ever marry you

INT. HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT

The crew is chomping on pizza. Rob and Shana enter

			KAREN
	So, tell us about what happened.  

			SHANA 
		(Sarcastically)
			(MORE)
		SHANA (cont’d)
Well I tipped a few strippers, got asked to have a threesome and invited to a Biker’s Ball. How’s that for an answer?

			MARK
Whoooaa, Now that’s what I’m talking about. Biker ghost swinging action, you gotta love it.  Let’s get the camera!

			KAREN
	Knock it off, moron 
		
			BART
	What’s this Biker’s Ball

			ROB
		(removes jacket)
I don’t know but these people my wife was talking about are part of the crowd we were following so, it’ll be worth while going to it. We’ve gotta go to the Boothill first.

EXT. CAMPGROUND - NIGHT

The rest of regular club members arrive at campground. Lt’S join Rick and Joe sitting outside on folding chairs.

			LT 1
	Well Rick are you amongst us yet. 

			JOE 
	Not yet, but he learned the history of us.

			LT 2
	Pretty cool shit, huh?  

			RICK
	Mind blowing would describe it better. 

			JOE
	So how did your side venture go?

			LT 1
	Fine but a little alarming, hopefully things 	will be ok.  

			JOE
Let’s go back inside the motor coach, its time.

INT. MOTORCOACH –SAME

The Lt’s stand behind Rick as he sits down. 	Rick hears static. Joe pulls out another vial with needle. Lt’s
Grab Rick’s arms and overpower him. 

			RICK
	No need for that I’m willing to go along. 

Joe motions to release him. 

			LT
	Sorry Rick, we’re just a little jumpy
	from some earlier business.  
		
			JOE
		(holds up vial)
	This is Zombie, half cut with Mind X. 
	Pure Zombie would leave you with hardly any 	memory of your actions.

SFX – STATIC SOUND

Rick sees the Originals and other things from this dimensional view. Has the ability to see as if thru a 30 foot periscope. Joe opens the mini blinds

			JOE
	Look at the power lines. 

			RICK
	I can see electricity! 
	
			LT
	Yes, don’t try this yet, but you’ll be able 	to 	surf that electricity. Ever heard the term 	ride the lighting?  
		
			RICK
	Wow
 
END FX

			JOE
	Try standing up 

Rick jumps up. 
		
			RICK
	I feel a little high. 

			JOE
If we’ve given you a full dose you’d have no control over yourself. Your thoughts and actions would be directed solely by the OOE. He actually can override you now, but he wants you to learn to work with him. 
	(a beat)
Lets go take in the Town. 

			LT
	Hey Rick let the OOE help you drive, Ok. 

EXT. MAIN STREET - NIGHT

	Because they recognize our Rank.				

EXT. ARRIVAL AT BOOTHILL SALOON - SAME

They park the bikes as the sound of thunder roared, and a portion of the sky opens up.

FX - SKY OPENS, DIMENSONAL VIEW ONLY.

Rick looks up, alarmed and shouts. A bystander wonders what he’s looking at.
		
			RICK
	What’s that ?  

			LT
Hey quite down, regular folks can’t see or hear that. But that’s something to be concerned with. That’s an Archangel. When you see one, be one your best behavior. 

			JOE
They are very powerful multi-dimensional beings.

FX – EFFECTS WITH DRAW AN DISAPEAR

			LT 1 
There’s been times when Originals been arrested by Archangels and never to be seen again.

			LT 2 
Don’t worry they’re concerned mostly with gross abuse.

		JOE
If you’d compare with a chess board, we rank about like a pond and the Archangels would be like the Queen. With the amount of Originals here, they’ll be watching.

			RICK
	What would regular humans be?

			JOE 
		(Smirks)
	Captured chess pieces

			JOE
	Again I can’t repeat it enough times, stay 	under the radar. 

INT. BOOTHILL SALOON - SAME

As they walk thru the door Rick is attacked with a hug by Katrina. Rick sees her OOE 

			KATRINA
	Wow look at you, you’re not so green anymore. 

			RICK
	Yea I’ve come a long way, you look great

			JOE
	You two go ahead and talk, me and the Lt’s  	will be at the bar. 

INT. JOE AND LT’S AT BAR - SAME

			JOE
	So is Katrina ok. And everything under control 

			LT 1
	Yea seems to be, but her OOE is pissed 

			JOE
	I guess he had enough imprisonment in the 	Antarctic 

			LT 2
	And the fact that a mere human could do that 	seems to make it worse. 

			LT 1 
Her OOE said there’s more to the story that she hasn’t disclosed. Her OOE tried scanning her mind but can’t pick it up. He seems confused too. 

			JOE
	Well at least we got her and her OOE back 

Katrina and Rick, move out to the dance floor.  

EXT. DOORWAY BOOTHILL - SAME

Rob and Shana arrive at Boothill. Doorman stops them

			DOORMAN

	The guy at the campground said we’d have 
	a swinging time.

Shana and Rob have a few drinks, starts dancing and having a good time.

EXT. ALLEY IN BACK OF OLD BUILDING - SAME

Dan runs over to the screen

			DAN
That’s odd, for its size it seems to be attached to a relatively small group of bikers. 

Mark calls to Bart below. Bart pulls the rope on telescoping ladder and climbs up

			MARK
	Bart I don’t like the looks of this. 

			BART
	Hmmm they must be the top dogs. 

			KAREN
	I hope Rob and Shana will be alright in there, 	I’m getting worried.

Karen climbs down to move van

			BART
	Shut down the equipment when they get close, 	in case they can detect us

As the bikers approach, they shut down the equipment. The group watches the doorman let in the bikers that had the large reading.

INT. BOOTHILL - SAME

	Yeah, pretty wild eh?

	That’s odd, they’re gonna leave without 	signaling us

Mark is looking thru binoculars

			MARK
There’s something wrong, See most are wearing dark glasses, Well it’s night…. Wait a minute, I’ve just seen three people with their eyes rolled in back of their head. Man that’s freaky looking.

The Gh crews sees no evidence of the Bikers they were following. 

			BART
	Where’d they all go?
		
			KAREN
	There was about two hundred of them. They 	couldn’t of just disappeared

			BART
	We weren’t that far behind them. What are you 	getting on maggie ?

			MARK 
	The only thing I’m getting are those power 	lines way in back.

			DAN
	High power lines throw off a lot of EMF,
	I designed maggie to pick those up

Try the other campground down the road, Maybe we were trailing too far behind and pulled into the wrong place.

	That’s because it was.

Joe comes up

	Did you see that?
	
		JOE
	You can do more that. But I need to tell you about the dangers. You OOE expends a lot of energy when you do tricks like move objects.  Also, they hardly have any mobility without attaching to a host. You can deplete your OOE and temporarily paralyze it, leaving it behind. Do you follow me so far

			RICK
	Yeah, don’t deplete energy doing fancy tricks 	or you’ll strand your OOE.

			JOE 
Good, now these tricks you see around here. Don’t try this at home. We chose this location because of all the power lines giving off the EMF. We can ride the waves … ride the lightning

	Ouch that’s gotta hurt

			JOE
	Yeah, he more like crashed the waves.
Think of it like this, a child can push a grown man on a swing. Little nudges if timed right can magnify the swinging effect. If the child nudges in the wrong timing, he’ll be knocked on ass like that guy.

Joe points to the man staggering back up, dusing himself.

Lt’s approach, they have the poles they loaded in the trailer back at the bike shop.

			LT 1
	Hey the bushman competition is starting soon
		
			LT 2
	Let’s get Rick practiced up

EXT. OUT BACK BY TRASH BAGS- DAY

LT’S and Joe throw spears with great skill. Rick doesn’t
do as good 

			LT
	You’re trying too hard and blocking the OOE. 	They’re experts at this so let them do it.

Rick throws a perfect shot.

			JOE
	Just like the old days, I think he’s got it

EXT. CAMPGROUND BUSHMAN SPEAR COMPETION - DAY

Three remote controlled four wheeler ATV’s dressed up like Bison

			LT 
They score on who hits first, the most hits and the fanciest throw. Now ten compete at once, so it goes pretty quick.
 
Hands Rick the three color coded spears

Rick lines up with the others fifty yards from the Bison.
The buzzer sounds and dust kicks up everywhere. The sound of many making the OOEEE sound rises up the spears are released. Some of the contestants line surf and fly up as they throw, giving them a line of sight advantage when the bison goes behind obstacles.

			JOE
Hey second place is great for just learning. The other guy only beat you on the fancy throw. 

			LT 
	And that’s only because you haven’t learned to 	fly yet.

			JOE
	We need to go into town, we’ll bring some of 	the brothers with us.
		(address the Lt’s)
Go find that couple from Fernandina and bring them along. I need to check out this professor
	and see what she knows
		
			RICK
	Hey, let’s go to the beach

			LT
	Great idea

EXT. BEACH - DAY

About forty of them arrive at beach, the spot on beach is directly in back of GH crew hotel. Rob and Shana along with others rent mini-bikes. The bikers strip down to bathing suits. A life guard shouts

			LIFEGAURD
	Everyone out of the water, SHARK

In shallow water a child wades, a five foot shark chases school of bait fish on shore The shark is swimming in less than knee deep of water. Rick instinctively jumps into the  water, grabs shark by tail and runs up on shore. Like a victory prize he holds shark overhead. A round of applause breaks out on the beach.

			JOE
	That was awesome, see I told you your OOE is 	above average.

			RICK
Pure instinct, man that was cool. This is great. I never would of done that as a nerd that’s for sure.

			LT’S
	Now you understand hunter gatherer

Some college girls who are not part of their group approach Rick.  They are cute but somewhat average.

			GIRL 1
	Oh my God, that was incredible

			GIRL 2
	Very macho

			GIRL 3
	I bet you have other talents as well.
		
			RICK
	Raw animal instinct

Katrina comes up and plants a wet kiss on him in front of 
Girls, they realize they are no match to her looks.

			RICK 
	Walk with me, I’m gonna give the shark to 	those fishermen

EXT. BEACH SHORELINE - DAY

Rick Katrina leaving fisherman walks with feet at waters edge

			RICK
	I’ve noticed Joe and the Lt’s are all single

			KATRINA
	Dating can become difficult with an OOE 	involved in your life. Settling down and 
Hunter-gatherer instincts conflict, It’s a miserable experience for all.

			RICK
	You speak as if by experience,  what if the 	couple both had OOE’s, wouldn’t they be a 	perfect match. Like you and me.

			KATRINA
You’re a great guy, but there’s a lot you don’t know about me. You’d probably wouldn’t like the whole raw package. Besides much has happened in the four months since I last seen you…… 
	(a beat)
I don’t know I’m under a lot of stress right now, let’s enjoy Bike Week without complicating things.

They arrive where Joe, LT’s, Rob and Shana are at. 

			JOE
	Hey Rick I was thinking, you wanted to learn 	how to line surf, Well the same principles 	apply to regular surfing. You just ride water 	waves instead of electric ones. Up for the 	challenge?

			RICK 
	If that’s a challenge I’m up for it.

			JOE
		(address Rob)
	When your host came in to my shop he paid with 	a credit card, does he have one now?

			ROB
	Oh sure, with a high limit at that

			JOE 
All right, let’s go rent some boards, there’s a place across the street.

EXT. HOTEL PARKING LOT - DAY

As they walk thru parking lot, they pass the GH van, Rob and Shana act up and try to speak or punch thru Zombie effect.

			ROB
	Joe my host are freaking out, something… this 	van is disturbing to them

			SHANA
	Mine too. They’re trying to awaken.

			JOE 
	Help me get them away from the van.

Shana is holding on the rear view mirror and kicks a few times as they pull her away. Once Joe and the Lt’s finally calm them down, Rob and Shana act like nothing happened. 
		
			KATRINA
	Maybe it’s their van
	
			RICK 
	No they came by motorcycle

The whole group crosses street and enters the surf shop

INT. SURF SHOP -DAY

Let’s see seven surf board rentals and two swim suits, towels, that’ll be $650 with tax.

EXT. SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF STORE - SAME

EXT. POOLSIDE - SAME

Carrying surf boards, Rob, Shana, Rick and Katrina walk thru pool deck area heading towards beach.

			ROB AND SHANA
		(simultaneous)
	We wanna come too.

Rick looks annoyed with their request.

EXT. GH VAN - SAME

Joe and Lt’s examine the van. Lt’s look thru window and sees 
the GH magnetic sign on the floor.

			LT 1
	Joe look at this, it’s the same group we run 	off a few months back at Murry’s.
		
			JOE
	This could be bad news for us.

			LT 2 
	It could be just a coincidence
	
			JOE 
We need to use caution, especially with Rob and Shana’s reaction.

			LT 2
	Can never be too cautious after Katrina’s 	mishap

EXT. BEACH- DAY

			JOE
	Rob and Shana come here, I need to scan your 	minds. 
		(a beat)
	Lt’s, can you assist me?

			LT’S
This should be fairly easy, after all they’re only Antarctic’s.

			KATRINA
	Hey I resent that!

			JOE 
	Settle down missy. You are a lot more 	sophisticated than them, after all you’re a 	junior lieutenant.

Rob and Shana kneel down as Joe and the Lt’s place their hands on top of the captured two. The scan starts

SFX – Static audio

			LT 1 (VO)
	Oh shit, they know almost everything about us

			LT 2 (VO)
	They’re definitely plugged in with the ghost 	group

			JOE 
	Katrina somehow you are involved with them

			KATRINA
	I swear I don’t know these people.

			JOE
	Alright that’s enough, before we hurt them.

END SFX

Lt’s stop scan on Rob and Shana, Joe starts to scan Katrina
But she doesn’t drop like Rob and Shana, but hunches a little

			JOE
	She’s telling the truth, her OOE confirms it.
		(a beat)
	But there is a strange blockage in her memory. 	Odd
 
They look over towards the hotel and see the van is missing. Joe quits the scan

			JOE
	Well there’s nothing we can do about it now, 	surf’s up anyone?

INT. VAN - DAY

	All these bikers are starting to look the same

My eyes are getting bleary from watching Maggie, and originals are running all over the place. They’re like ants ina’ ant pile.

Mark puts down maggie

Well we just can’t abandon them, let’s try this place.

Pulling in different campground, Bart spots the booth of the TV network they were once on; parks van.

EXT. BOOTH - SAME

GH crew approach booth, BILLY THE KID is signing autographs

	Look, there’s BILLY THE KID

			DAN
		(stretches neck to see)
	You mean the chopper builder on TV.

			KAREN
	Yeah Bart knows him a little

			BILLY
	Hey Bart , what bring you slumming down here.

			BART 
	We were shooting a documentary in the 		next town over and decided to come out here to 	unwind a little.

Billy signs another autograph

			BART
	We lost two of our crew members, a man and 	woman
 
Bart shows him the phony network Picture Id’s Of Rob/Shana
		
			BART
	We think they got drunk and wandered off. If 	you happen to see them, please call me

Bart hands him a card, Dan goes up for an autograph

			BILLY
	Your best bet will be to just let them sober 	up, there’s too many people here.

Billy signs Dan’s autograph 
		
			BILLY
	Good luck with your ghost documentary and 	finding your friends, but like I told you the 	last time….

INSERT - ECU OF BILLY
 
…the ghost are amongst the living, So don’t even bother with the dead

INT. VAN - SAME
		
			BART
		(enters van)
	What do you think the chances are, the bikers 	are on to us?
	
			KAREN
	Let’s not jump the gun, they might not of 	made any connection to us yet.

			DAN
	Katrina seen us together don’t forget

			KAREN
	Yes but there is a strong chance she doesn’t 	remember any of it. Patients under hypnosis 	don’t remember the session, it locks down in 	the subconscious. I never brought her out of 	hypnosis remember?

Karen bites into a chocolate bar, speaks with mouthful

		KAREN
But it seems the Original can overpower her. That’s the unknown factor

			BART 
		(proudly)
Damn, you know we trapped the Original and her mind in the same day. That’s got to be a record.

			MARK
	What if she was faking

			DAN
I doubt it, all the information she gave us has checked out so far

			BART 
	So our real concern is if Rob and Shana 	reveal us

EXT. CAMPGROUND - NIGHT

			RICK
	What event?

			JOE
	Your public rite of passage into the club.

Joe opens a cabinet and pulls out an ornate wood box
With a coat of Arms design on it

			RICK 
	I thought I was already in the club?

			JOE 
	Yes, this is a formality; some of the 	Oldtimers will be here to witness your rite.

			RICK 
	Why the big deal over me?

			JOE
It’s your ranking, I’ll give you the overview. Rob and Shana would be like private’s first class or serf’s. The Lieutenants are faithful and very capable assistants that have served us thru millennia. You and I are like a nobility class with knighthood. We were given certain skills at creation. 

			RICK
	What about Katrina?

			JOE
	She’s an Antarctic and only a junior 	lieutenant.

EXT. CAMPGROUND - NIGHT

TONY from band the Big Engine acts as MC

EXT. CAMPGROUND - SAME

Joe and Rick walk across the campground, and into the VIP area behind the stage. A group of older distinguished men
with thick European, Ivy league accents are sipping wine.

			OLDTIMER 1
	Joe, So good to see you? 

			OLDTIMER 2 
This must be our new member? We are glad to 
have you aboard with us. You’ll make a valuable contribution to our kind.

			OLDTIMER 3
		 (Addressing Joe)
	I am going to address the crowd on the matter 	of these ghost hunters. It would be good to 	have a cause to rally for. 

			JOE
	I had planned to do it myself

			OLDTIMER 3
It’ll be more dramatic if one of our class does it

Oldtimer 3 takes the stage at the end of band’s song, a hush out of respect takes the crowd
	
			OLDTIMER 3
	Everyone gather closer, within broadcast range

The crowd moves in

			OLDTIMER 3 STATIC (VO)
My brothers, A time has come where we might be on the verge of being discovered. So I implore you to watch yourself and your actions. Recently one of our Lieutenants was imprisoned by a group of ghost hunters and their technology. When I say imprisoned I mean they captured the OOE in our own relam. 

A sound of shock could be heard from the audience
			
			OLTIMER 3 STATIC (VO)
	Fortunately they both escaped. In retaliation 	we have captured two of their crew members and 	made zombie’s out of them!

Someone shouts 
			UNKOWN (OS)
	Serves them right

			OLDTIMER 3 STATIC (VO)
	Even this might be to our advantage. The two 	ghost crew members have attributes and skills 	that could be useful to our long range goals.

A brief applause
			OLDTIMER 3 STATIC (VO)
	But it has been reported the rest of the ghost 	crew are here in Daytona. They are driving a 	white van. That is all we know about them. If 	anyone hears of any additional information 	please contact Sir Joe.

A voice audibly shouts from the crowd

			BILLY THE KID
	I have information

The crowd makes room as Billy approaches the stage

EXT. VIP AREA - SAME

			JOE 
		(whispering)
He’s got some nerve to be here, especially with the oldtimer’s around

			RICK
	He’s one of us, wow a TV star

			JOE 	
	That’s the problem, there’s a lot of animosity 	between his chapter and the oldtimers. He’s a 	real rebel.

			RICK
	Why’s that?

			JOE 
	He violates the Under The Radar Policy.

EXT. STAGE – SAME

	(a beat)
He said he was now looking for ghost amongst the living instead of the dead. So here you go 
	
Billy pulls out Bart’s Business card

INSERT- A truck opens doors, crews brings out monkey cages

BACK TO SCENE
			JOE
	No man, this is Monkey Boxing

			RICK 
		(concerned)
What, I have to get in a cage and box a monkey?

			JOE
No, monkeys are very similar to our ancestors  and are easily controlled. In fact they like being controlled and the inter action.
This is what the Originals were created for, to control primates. 

			RICK
	Sounds like pure animalistic joy.
		
			JOE
	You got it

Joe and Rick step up on stage. Joe opens ornate box and pulls out a small pair of boxing gloves. A man brings a monkey over

EXT. STAGE/RING - SAME
 
			JOE
	Tell the monkey to be calm so we put on the 	gloves.

Static sound even though they speak audibly
	
			RICK 
	Man I can’t believe how easy and docile they 	are. 

Rick starts shadow boxing, monkey freaks out

			JOE
	Don’t swing your arms like that, it confuses 	the little guy

Joe looks at the opponent; he’s a goofy type of guy

			JOE
	Your opponent is a weaker Antarctic that 	hijacked a local. He hasn’t had the coaching 	you’ve had. 

Monkeys are put into ring
		
			JOE
	Let the OOE do the first round, just to get a 	feel for it.

Sound of monkeys screams, tips of red boxing gloves wave in front of camera, a blur of fur, Camera shakes, cage rattles

Dan comes to his feet, seems ok.

			DAN
No you were probably like me, a prospect for recruitment

			KATRINA 
	Its true Rick, that was my job; recruitment 	thru seduction. High level prospects only. 	Usually scientist and stuff like you and Dan. 	Sometimes I took orders directly from the 	Oldtimers.

Rick looks up and sees the sky still swirling

Rob and Shana on the motorcycle wearing their bathing suites and looking to go skinny dipping 

			ROB
	Do you remember what hotel it was?

			SHANA 
	They all look the same

Rob and Shana spot Katrina running

			ROB
	Where is her OOE?

			SHANA
	Are you sure that’s her? Swing around for 	another look.

They turn around, follow and see Dan and Karen with her. 

			SHANA 
	Those are the people in our heads. They must 	have captured her again. 
	
			ROB
	Katrina seems to be in favor with the bosses, 	plus she’s a cutie by human standards

			SHANA
	Let’s ditch one of our host and take her back

Rob and Shana pull up ahead and quickly dismount the bike

			KAREN
	Oh there’s Rob and Shana, Hey over here

			KATRINA 
Watch out, those are OOE’s and they’re probably after me

			DAN
	I’m staying with Katrina, go get Bart

			KATRINA
	Boothill’s only one block up

Rob and Shana are fifty feet ahead of them. Shana speaks with tone like a child saying …come out, come out wherever you are.

			SHANA
	Come on Katrina, I want your body

Dan looks puzzled, Katrina explains

			KATRINA
	She means she wants me as a host.

Rob and Shana move closer

			KATRINA
		(whispers)
I know my way in this town so follow me
Ready, set, go

Katrina and Dan Run thru a night club and onto the patio bar.
Jumping the back fence, they cross the alley and run into an old cemetery. Rob and Shana follow but lose them. Dan and Katrina are hiding behind a tree.

			DAN
	What are they standing around for
		
			KATRINA
	For one thing their OOE’s aren’t too bright, 	but the main reason is because Originals don’t 	like ghost. They won’t take a chance on coming 	into a graveyard for fear of running into one.

			DAN 
	Interesting

			KATRINA
How are we supposed to signal your friends with out giving away our positon?

			DAN 
	I’ve got and idea

Dan reaches in his pocket and pulls out the TV remote

			KATRINA
What, are you going to pretend you can shut them off?

Dan points to the glass bed at the tip of the remote.
	
			DAN 
This is an infrared transmitter and the standard equipment for ghost hunters is a night vision viewer. This will shine like a flashlight to the night vision.

Dan signals SOS in Morse Code

			KATRINA 
Originals can see certain frequencies like cell Phones and radio towers. But I can’t remember seeing any remote control waves.
		(hugs him)
	You’re so smart

			DAN 
We haven’t used the night vision since we arrived, but since they’re looking for us this time, I’m betting they’ll use it.

	No, too bright and mechanical.

	It has to be Dan, he use to show me all the 	household products that give off infrared.
	And that looks like a TV remote

Karen spots Rob and Shana searching around

			KAREN
We’re not in the clear, after what I seen… the power those things have we’d better use caution.

			BART 
	We can’t sit here forever, more of them might 	be on the way.

			MARK 
We got some of the plastic ties. Let’s tackle them and tie them up.

			KAREN 
	I watched the ordeal with Katrina; you’ll have 	about a five second window tie them, then 	run like hell before they explode.
		(holds Bart’s hand) 
	Be careful.

			BART
	Ok here’s the plan…

EXT. GRAVEYARD- NIGHT

Mark, Bart and Karen are walking thru streets.

			DAN
	Look there they are, what are they doing?

			KATRINA
I don’t know but there are so many Originals floating around, if Rob and Shana call out they’re in for it. They can call out telepathically and we won’t even know it.

EXT. STREET - SAME

Bart and Karen circle around and sneak up to Rob’s motorcycle. Bart hides behind parked car.

	Hey Rob you dumb ass, I’m stealing your 	motorcycle.

Katrina to come out. When Dan and Katrina are in the middle of the road, Mark yells

	Hey Shana Katrina’s getting away

Rob and Shana hesitate in the middle of the road, confused
Rob runs towards the motorcycle, Shana runs after Katrina.
Bart jumps out, punches, trips, and sits on Rob as Karen ties his arms.

Mark jumps out and tackles Shana, subdues her and ties.

			BART
	Katrina how much longer till the effects wear 	off?

			KATRINA
	Up to 18 hours depending on their last dose. 
	OOE’s might hang around for days. We need to 	deplete and paralyze them before they call out 	for help. 
		(a beat)
And I know just the thing. Throw them into the cemetery.

			KAREN
	What, that’s pretty morbid

			DAN 
	She right I know what she’s doing

The group drags Rob and Shana to the edge of the cemetery

			ROB
	Please don’t I’ll leave you alone

			SHANA
We won’t tell anyone; just let us get back to the camp.

Pushing them into the cemetery, Rob and Shana scream in fear as they levitate three feet off the ground and squirm.
