Hype: the series sign up

FADE IN:
INT. TRAINING ROOM
Spork sits on the side of the wall, sweat running down his pretty face and hands. Matt stands above him, his hands twitching. Next to Matt, Webmistress looks down at Spork through her golden eyes.

WEBMISTRESS
Tell us what happened Spork.​

Spork sits there for a while, his hands scratching his head, and he sighs deeply.

SPORK
A couple of days ago, I was walking around some pipe-ways with my friend Pira. I was having myself a pretty good time. Then, all of a sudden, that dickwad Danger Mouse shows up.​

At the sound of this name Matt flinches.

SPORK
Anyway, the guy pretty much threatens me with a sword to join the Exalted. I do the right thing and tell him to **** off, and then Pira hits him on the head with a pipe. All’s good and me and Pira ride off into the sunset.​

Spork bangs his fist against the wall angrily. Webmistress remains calm.

SPORK
Then last night, Danger Mouse shows up again. Only this time he brought his dark hooded friend with him. And they take my girlfriend, knock me unconscious and then I came to you. So here we are.​

WEBMISTRESS
What do you want us to do, Spork?​

SPORK
I want to lead us down there. I know you guys haven’t gotten along with Exalted in the past. I need you to help me get Pira back.​

Webmistress looks over at Matt, who looks at her confused. Then she turns her head and nods determined.

WEBMISTRESS
I know how to help you. But you’re going to have to trust me.​

She looks at Matt.​

WEBMISTRESS
Both of you.​

Matt’s eyebrows widen. He suddenly realizes what it is she is talking about.

MATT MURDOCK
No, Webby, you can’t go back there. I won’t let you.​

The two stare each other down. Spork looks from one to the other.

SPORK
Is there something I’m missing here? Hello, I’ve only been in this place for about a week and a half?​

Webmistress turns around, sighing.

WEBMISTRESS
Before you got here, I was a member of Exalted’s little club. He treated me well I guess. Until I met...Matt.​

Matt sighs. Spork looks back and forth at the two of them.


SPORK
I can see where this is going.​

WEBMISTRESS
Exalted didn’t want me to be around Matt. He called Matt a psychopath, a demented killer. He threatened to hurt me and kill Matt if he saw us together again.​

SPORK
So, what did you do?​

WEBMISTRESS
I showed him the truth.​

SPORK
That Matt wasn’t a killer?​

WEBMISTRESS
No, but I’m not exactly perfect either, am I?​

SPORK
How did Mr. Love and Peace react to that one?​

WEBMISTRESS
Not too well. But we went our separate ways, Exalted none too happy.​

SPORK
So what does this have to do with what’s going on now?​

WEBMISTRESS
Exalted thinks I broke up with Matt. Maybe if I can get back on his good side, make nice with hi--

Matt kicks a bottle of beer, spinning it across the floor. Spork and Webmistress turn to look at him.

MATT MURDOCK
No Webby. You’re not going down there with that psychopath breathing down your neck!​

Webmistress grabs Matt by the arm.

WEBMISTRESS
You can’t protect me forever Matt. Before you told me that I had nothing to worry about, that I could take care of myself and that I would not lose you. It’s time you follow your own advice.​

Matt looks at her, shocked. Then he looks back down at the ground, and realizes what she is saying is true.

SPORK
No.​

The two of them turn around, Spork stops leaning against the wall and stands in front of them.

SPORK
I didn’t agree to this. I don’t want some undercover mission where you go off to do whatever and I’m just sitting here doing didly-****ing ****. They took the only thing left in my life that was still pure. I want blood.​

Webmistress shakes her head.

WEBMISTRESS
Spork, we can’t let you--​

SPORK
I all ready lost one of my best friends to this ****ing place! I’m not going to lose someone else!​

The door swings open. Webmistress, Spork and Matt bolt up right, and all of them get in fighting positions. Ball Buster limps out on his crutches, stops, and looks around.

MATT MURDOCK
Michael...?​

BALL BUSTER
Hi, Spork.​

Ball Buster balances himself on one crutch and takes the other one and slams it into Spork’s testicles. There is a deep groan from Spork as he bends down, clutching his pants in pain.

BALL BUSTER
YOUR BALLS HAVE BEEN BUSTED!​

Webmistress grabs Ball Buster by the shoulders and shoves him into the wall. Ball Buster’s crutches fall to the floor.

WEBMISTRESS
You better have a damn good reason to do that.​

BALL BUSTER
Why so angry? I owed Aaron Carter over here one anyway.​

WEBMISTRESS
His girlfriend just got taken by the Exalted, Michael. If he doesn’t save her she’s going to die.​

BALL BUSTER
So? How am I supposed to know something like that?​

Webmistress rolls her eyes.

WEBMISTRESS
You’re not supposed to walk up to somebody and just punch them in their private region, Michael!​

BALL BUSTER
You never complained when I did it to you!​

MATT MURDOCK
Goddamnit, Michael, you’re on thin ice!​

Ball Buster sighs and shakes his head.

BALL BUSTER
I come here to talk to my friends, try to have a decent conversation. But if you guys are all going to behave like Jackholes then I guess I’m going to have to leave!​

Ball Buster looks around the room for some kind of approval. All he gets are blank, serious stares.

WEBMISTRESS
Goodbye, Michael.​

BALL BUSTER
I never really wanted to talk to you guys anyway. I was just saying that to get you guys feeling guilty, but obviously you’re all devoid of consciences so, wrong crowd.​

Ball Buster looks nervously to the floor.

BALL BUSTER
Can I have my crutches back now?​

Webmistress grabs the crutches off the ground and gives them to Ball Buster. He takes them and uses them to balance himself on the ground. He heads for the door.

BALL BUSTER
See you later, dickholes.​

Ball Buster walks out the door, and Webmistress shuts the door behind him. She rests her head on it, and sighs deeply.

WEBMISTRESS
Allright, Spork, you’ll have your blood. But you can’t just waltz down there. Exalted thinks I just broke up with Matt. He won’t be expecting us, so everything will go smoothly. So, tonight, when I go to distract the Exalted; you, Matt, and Sentinel can take care of Danger Mouse and Jayna, and you can get your girlfriend back.​

Matt shakes his head violently.

MATT MURDOCK
No Webby. I’m not going to let you go down there alone with him. While Spork and Sentinel go to get Danger Mouse, I’ll be standing guard where Exalted can’t see me. In case something happens.​

Spork shakes his head.

SPORK
So, when do we get weapons?​

INT. MAX’S OLD ROOM - DAY
A CLOSED EYE. THE EYE LID OPENS, THE PUPIL DILATES. IT IS BLUE.
Pira awakes on a bed surrounded by stuffed animals. In front of her, she sees a stuffed octopus, and standing above her, she sees a woman standing in the doorway -- Jayna.

JAYNA
Good morning.​

Pira slowly raises herself off the bed, and examines Jayna closely. She slides off, standing up.

PIRA
I know you.​

Jayna looks at Pira confused, and a little worried.

JAYNA
I seriously doubt that.​

PIRA
Yeah I do. You’re that Jayna girl. You used to talk dirty all the time to your boyfriend Danger Mouse, but in reality you were just really timid. What am I doing here?​

Jayan, freaked out, grabs a handgun that was on top of the dresser behind her and points at Pira. Pira puts her hands in the air, not moving.

JAYNA
Okay, how did you know that? I haven’t even seen you before.​

PIRA
Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t tell you. This is gonna sound kind of bad, but I used to spy on everyone when I got bored.​

JAYNA
You’re right. That sounds pretty ****ing bad.​

PIRA
Well I don’t do that anymore. I have a boyfriend too now. It’s pretty great for the both of us.​

JAYNA
Good for you.​

Pira looks towards the door behind Jayna.

PIRA
Yeah, it really is. So if you could just let me go now that would be great.​

Jayna shakes her head, keeping the gun pointed at Pira.

JAYNA
I don’t think so. We need you for leverage. Danger Mouse needs to have a chat with your friend Spork, so it looks like it’s just you and me now.​

Pira looks at Jayna confused, and starts to laugh.

PIRA
You’re kidding me, right?​

JAYNA
What?
PIRA
You act like Danger Mouse is forcing you to be here with me.​

JAYNA
Well, that’s really none of your business...​

PIRA
Danger Mouse is here because of you. You’re holding that gun because it was your choice.​

Jayna doesn’t think this is funny anymore. She’s getting pissed.

JAYNA
Shut up. You don’t know anything about me.​

PIRA
I know that I used to think you were the sanest person in this place. And now I realize that I was wrong.​

JAYNA
Shut up.​

PIRA
Danger Mouse can’t make decisions for himself. He never could. You know that. He always needed something to guide him. After Matt was gone from his life, he had nothing to do. And you just gave him a solution, didn’t you?​

JAYNA
And just what gives you the right to spy on me, and then tell me what I’m supposed to do with my life?​

PIRA
Because when I was watching you, I was crazy. I thought I was talking to a guy in a Top Hat. A guy that I now know never existed. I’d say that gives me a pretty good excuse, wouldn’t you?​

Jayna puts her hand on the trigger of the handgun, and gestures to the bed behind Pira. She is not very happy at the moment.

JAYNA
Shut up and get back on the bed before I blow your brains out. You get that?​

Pira nods. She lowers her arms and sits down on the bed. Jayna lowers the gun and turns around, to see Danger Mouse enter the room also carrying a handgun in his hand. He is worried, and his hands are shaking.

DANGER MOUSE
Why would I want to kill you?​

Jayna looks at Danger Mouse at a loss. Pira watches amused on the bed.

JAYNA
What are you talking about?​

DANGER MOUSE
Before, when I was out there in his Throne Room, I looked through this handgun and there was only one thing on my mind: what it would be like to watch the love of my life die again. Now why would I want that? It’s him, Pira. Exalted’s doing this to me!​

Jayna looks down at the gun in Danger Mouse’s hands. Danger Mouse breaks down, hugging Jayna. Over his shoulder, Jayna looks at Pira in disgust.

INT. ANTI-HIPPIE DEFENSE ROOM - DAY
The Exalted walks through Hippie Hunter’s Defense room, his robe swaying as he does so. He stops above Hippie Hunter, who is still working on something with his tools. Hippie Hunter looks up at The Exalted, and under his mask, he smiles a little.

HIPPIE HUNTER
Long time no see, old friend.​

THE EXALTED
I SEE YOU’RE NOT IN YOUR MONITOR ROOM ANYMORE.​

HIPPIE HUNTER
It got boring after awhile. You ever notice how much this place is like a soap opera?​

THE EXALTED
ALL THE TIME.​

Hippie Hunter laughs and stands up to face his acquittance.

HIPPIE HUNTER
So, what brings you to my not-so humble abode, Exalted?​

THE EXALTED
I JUST NEED SOME INFORMATION, HIPPIE HUNTER. AND TELL ME THE TRUTH THIS TIME. WHATEVER IT IS, I CAN HANDLE IT. WHAT’S GOING ON WITH DANGER MOUSE?​

All of a sudden, Hippie Hunter’s friendly mood changes to one of grim regret.

HIPPIE HUNTER
The doctor’s got to him, Jose. I couldn’t -- I felt bad for him, you know what I mean? I don’t know if he’s entirely 100% anymore.​

THE EXALTED
I FIGURED AS MUCH. ANYTHING ELSE IMPORTANT I SHOULD KNOW?​

Hippie Hunter shrugs.

HIPPIE HUNTER
Well, Webmistress is going to come to try and join your clan but she’s going to have a whole calvary waiting with her to take you down and get Pira back. You probably knew that all ready though.​

THE EXALTED
THAT I DID. GOODBYE, JESSE. IT WAS GREAT TALKING TO YOU, AS ALWAYS.​

Hippie Hunter nods.

HIPPIE HUNTER
See you around.​

The Exalted walks out the door, and Hippie Hunter bends down and continues to work on his equipment.
FADE TO BLACK.
 
FADE IN:
EXT. GUERILLA BASE - NIGHT
WE ZOOM PAST TREES AND ABOVE EAST TIMOR MEN DECKED OUT IN MILITARY GARB. TWO OF THEM, BELOW US, ARE EXAMINING GUNS.

Jose Mulando looks over the guns in the little brown box. They aren’t anything new...most of them were probably from the Indonesian guards. Alberto stands next to Jose, smiling.

ALBERTO
Is this not a wonderful sight, my friend?​

Jose says nothing. He only gives Alberto a weak smile.

ALBERTO (CONT’D)
They say it is us...the military power...that will win back East Timor. Do you not agree?​

Jose looks up at the trees and remains silent. He looks Alberto square in the eyes, holding his gaze. Then he looks back down at the ground.

JOSE
When I was younger, my father took me to the cinema. Just one time. It was the most amazing experience I had ever had in my life. They were playing an American movie. I remember it. Casablanca. I saw it only once, but I committed every line to memory. I told my kids that America was a wonderful place. I wanted them to believe in it, even if I didn’t.​

Jose laughs, and then looks over at the other military men. They are minding their own business, pacing back and forth.

JOSE (CONT’D)
I watched my family disappear from me on a truck because one of my neighbors, who I thought was my friend, had told the Indonesian military that I was one of you. I watched some men drive my children away from me. I’ll never see them again. Hell, who am I kidding, by now they’re probably all ready dead. But before, you asked me why I wanted to go to America. This is the reason.​

Alberto pats Jose on the back. Jose holds back his tears. Alberto reaches down into the box, and then hands Jose an M16.

ALBERTO
Listen to me, Jose. All of us here have been separated from our families by some means or another. And now it is the time, as your American friends say, for vengeance.​

Jose nods.

JOSE
What did you have in mind?​

ALBERTO
There is an Indonesian camp not too far from here. A few of us are going to go over there and give them hell.​

JOSE
So what are we doing here now?​

Alberto smiles. He gestures towards the guns.

ALBERTO
Getting ready.​

FADE OUT.
FADE IN:
INT. TRAINING ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Matt Murdock throws a brown box onto the floor. In it are walkie-talkies, a headset, a bug device, shotgun ammo, and parts of handguns. Around him are Spork, Webmistress and Sentinel_08. Spork picks up a walkie-talkie and looks at it.

SPORK
My, my, you HAVE been holding out on us, haven’t you Matt?​

Matt hands Spork a shotgun. He looks over at Webmistress who has her arms crossed. He picks up a walkie-talkie himself, and begins to speak.

MATT MURDOCK
Listen up, Spork, all of you. Sentinel, you and Spork will go towards the rooms on the eastern side of Exalted’s throne room. You are going to head directly into Max Shreck’s old room. I don’t know who lives there now, but I’m guessing it’s Danger Mouse and Jayna. You’ll find your girlfriend there. Webmistress is going to enter the throne room from the front. I will be watching her from the western side. Is everything clear?​

SPORK
Yeah hotshot, I got it when you went over it the last thousand times.​

MATT MURDOCK
Good. Look, Spork, I know this is personal for you, but don’t do something stupid.​

SPORK
Hey, you know me!​

Matt nods.

MATT MURDOCK
Exactly. Sentinel, are your guns all charged up?​

Sentinel looks at his metal arm. It changes to a submachine gun. He presses a button, and it opens up, revealing bullets inside. He nods.

SENTINEL_08
Yeah, Matt, I’m good to go.​

Spork ***** his shotgun. Matt looks at him, worried in a sedated kind of way.

SPORK
Let’s get out of here then.​

Matt grimaces. Webmistress leads the way out, and they all four follow her out.

INT. HALLWAY - CONTINUOUS
Ball Buster limps through the hallway. He sees Robin there, playing with his yo-yo still. Ball Buster stops over him.

BALL BUSTER
Hey, Robin, how’s it going?​

Robin does not answer. He only continues to play with his yo-yo.

BALL BUSTER (CONT’D)
Are you gonna at least answer me? Maybe we could talk about something that interests you.​

Robin looks the other way, not wanting to look at Ball Buster. He is disgusted with him.

BALL BUSTER (CONT’D)
Like, I don’t know, yo-yos?​


Robin gets up to leave.

BALL BUSTER (CONT’D)
Just what is it that you’re so mad about?​

Robin turns around angry.

ROBIN
Go away, meanie!​

Robin runs down the hallway. Ball Buster stands there, confused. He turns around and sees Webmistress, Spork, Matt and Sentinel walk by him in a hurry. He stops when he sees Sentinel.​

BALL BUSTER
Sentinel, man, I need to talk to you.​

SENTINEL_08
I can’t help with your wound right now, Michael, I’m busy.​

BALL BUSTER
I can see that. Since when were you a part of the fire brigade?​

SENTINEL_08
Is there something important you wanted to ask me?​

BALL BUSTER
Yes, actually. Why the hell is Robin so angry at me all of a sudden?​

Spork stops, and looks back at Sentinel who has stopped to talk to Ball Buster. He gestures to him.

SPORK
Come on, Sentinel, you’re falling behind.​

Sentinel sighs, and turns to Ball Buster.

SENTINEL_08
I’m guessing it’s the whole Chain Reaction thing. I would help you, but I’m not supposed to talk to Robin anymore, am I? I’ll see you later, Ball Buster.​

So the machine walks away and follows the Last Meatbag into the hallway. Ball Buster is left, dumb-founded and alone.

INT. EXALTED’S THRONE ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Exalted walks into the throne room, his robe following behind him. He stops, and sees Danger Mouse running at him in a blind rage. Jayna watches them both in her doorway, shocked.

DANGER MOUSE
You two-timing son of a *****!​

He screams, and thrust his fist into Exalted’s face. Exalted catches him by the arm, and applies force on it.

THE EXALTED
DO NOT TRY TO HIT ME AGAIN. BESIDES, I DO NOT THINK IT IS YOU THAT SHOULD BE UPSET.​


Danger Mouse yanks his hand out of the Exalted’s grasp, and points to Jayna.

DANGER MOUSE
You tried to kill her. Why would you want to hurt someone I love? Explain that to me.​

The Exalted laughs.

THE EXALTED
I TRIED TO KILL HER? LAST I LOOKED, YOU WERE READILY PREPARED TO DO IT YOURSELF BEFORE I EVEN SPOKE A WORD. AND HERE’S WHAT I DON’T UNDERSTAND...WERE YOU NOT READY, TEN SECONDS BEFORE, TO HURT SOMEONE ELSE’S LOVE?​

DANGER MOUSE
No, no I wasn’t ready! Pira was your idea! Just like it was you, gloating me on to fire at Jayna. You, whose brought me nothing but trouble since I’ve come under your wing!​

The Exalted sighs.

THE EXALTED
EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO ME, DANGER MOUSE. WHEN I SENT YOU TO GET SPORK THE FIRST TIME, WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?​

DANGER MOUSE
Nothing happened. I went to go get Spork, the lunatic’s girlfriend hit me on the head with a pipe, and I blacked out.​

THE EXALTED
SO YOU TRULY HAVE FORGOTTEN? OR DOES SOME PART OF YOU REMEMBER THE DOCTORS, AND THE NURSE STICKING THE NEEDLE THROUGH YOUR NECK?​

Danger Mouse shifts from side to side. The Exalted stares him down.

DANGER MOUSE
How did you know--​

THE EXALTED
IT IS MY BUSINESS TO KNOW WHAT MY PEOPLE ARE UP TO.​

Exalted sighs.

THE EXALTED (CONT’D)
NOW, I WANT YOU TO STAND GUARD. SPORK AND A FEW OF HIS FRIENDS ARE GOING TO SHOW UP SOON. JAYNA, MOVE PIRA TO THE WESTERN SIDE, IN DIE VALUECTIC’S OLD ROOM. DM, GO TO THE EAST. THEY’LL BE EXPECTING YOU THERE.​

Jayna sighs and walks back into her room. Danger Mouse stands, his entire body shaking in anger.

DANGER MOUSE
I should have never trusted you. I should have killed you when I had the chance.​

The Exalted turns around solemnly.

THE EXALTED
Violence never solved a goddamn thing.​

INT. OUTSIDE OF THE EXALTED’S CHAMBERS - NIGHT
Matt Murdock runs to the wall, a handgun in his hands. He presses against it, breathing in deeply. Next to him, Webmistress looks at him and smiles. He looks down and sees she has a shotgun in her hands. He shoots her a questioning look. She shrugs.

WEBMISTRESS
Expecting the Exalted to believe I want to join my side is one thing. Expecting him to believe I would show up unarmed is another. Besides, I don’t feel safe without it.​


Matt nods, and turns to the doorway.

MATT MURDOCK
Worry not. Don’t forget, I can hear you. See you later.​

Matt points to his headset, and then to the device on Alexia’s legs.

Webmistress heads to the door, and stops to look at Matt.

WEBMISTRESS
Listen, Matt. Whatever happens in there, I want you to remember that I still love you.​

MATT MURDOCK
You’ll be fine.​

Webmistress raises her shotgun to rest on her shoulder.

WEBMISTRESS
It’s not me I’m worried about.​

She leaves, and Matt watches her confused. Then he talks into his headset.

MATT MURDOCK
Listen up people, this is it. Is everyone in position?​

INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT
Spork and Sentinel_08 sit in the hallway near the back entrance of Exalted’s chambers. Spork answers his walkie-talkie reluctantly.

SPORK
I still don’t understand why you get the awesome headset and we get stuck with these homo walkie-talkies.​

Matt’s voice crackles through the speaker.

MATT MURDOCK
Because I’m the leader. Besides, Spork, we’re rescuing your girlfriend -- this is no time to be insecure about your sexuality.​

Sentinel starts busting up laughing at the fact that Matt actually made a joke. Spork shoots him an icy stare.

SPORK
Ha ha, very funny blind-o. Just remember, Sentinel and I are doing all the action while you’re off in some corner, using your tears as lubricant.​

Sentinel motions towards Spork. Spork picks up his shotgun and they head for the door. As he does, he looks casually at Sentienel, and sneaks up behind him.

MATT MURDOCK
Whatever. Just be quiet now. I want to listen to this.​

INT. EXALTED’S THRONE ROOM
Webmistress enters the room, her combat boots clicking on the cold hard cement floor. She still has the shotgun resting on her shoulder. Waiting for her there, The Exalted stands next to his “throne”.

THE EXALTED
HELLO WEBMISTRESS. THE PLEASURE HAS BEEN LONG OVERDUE.​

Webmistress nods.

WEBMISTRESS
Likewise, big man. Hey, listen, I’ve been wondering about something.​

THE EXALTED
WHAT’S THAT? YOU’RE NOT GOING TO TRY TO TELL ME THAT YOU BROKE UP WITH MATT, ARE YOU?​

Webmistress shakes her head and slowly takes her shotgun off her shoulder. The Exalted watches her apprehensively. We can’t see his face, but he appears somewhat nervous.

WEBMISTRESS
Actually, I was wondering why you’re letting me in here with an armed shotgun when you know that I don’t like you. But then, you probably all ready knew about our little rescue adventure, didn’t you?​

THE EXALTED
PERCEPTIVE AS ALWAYS, ALEXIA. I ALWAYS LIKED THAT ABOUT YOU.​

Webmistress looks at him in fury. The mechanical device on her knee is buzzing loudly.

WEBMISTRESS
Don’t ever ****ing call me Alexia again, you bastard.​

THE EXALTED
NOW SEE, THE SWEARING AGAIN. THAT WAS ONE OF YOUR UN-ADMIRABLE TRAITS.​

INT. OUTSIDE OF THE EXALTED’S CHAMBERS - NIGHT
Matt arms his handgun hurriedly. He looks around in an angry, drunken stupor.

MATT MURDOCK
What the **** is going on, Webby? Abort, abort, everyone ****ing abort!​

Through his headset, a cold and sarcastic voice answers.

SPORK
I don’t think I will. Besides, Sentinel aborted a while ago when I knocked him unconscious with this shotgun you gave me. Thanks for that, by the way.​

Matt slams his fist against the wall angrily.

MATT MURDOCK
Goddamnit, Spork, now’s not the time to make this personal! You’re going to get us all killed!​

INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT
Spork, standing over the unconscious body of Sentinel_08, puts the walkie-talkie close to his mouth and shouts into it.

SPORK
BREAK YOURSELF FOOL!​

He then takes the walkie-talkie and throws it against the wall, shattering it into a ton of little tiny pieces. He grabs the shotgun and straps it to his shoulder, running into the door nearest him.


INT. OUTSIDE OF THE EXALTED’S CHAMBERS
Matt takes his headset and throws it to the ground. He steps on it, crushing it with his boot. He takes his gun and leans away from the wall, pausing slightly to catch his breath.

MATT MURDOCK
I guess I have to do this the old fashioned way, then.​

Matt darts in, keeping his gun in front of him.
FADE OUT.
 
Something tells me that I was involved in the East Timorese conflict for independence
 
FADE IN:

EXT. INDONESIAN MILITARY CAMP - DAY

Jose Mulando runs up to the front of the military camp carrying papers in his hands. As he does so, several armed indonesian soldiers run up to him. Jose stops, the militants coming at him. A general motions for the other militants to slow down and approaches Jose.

GENERAL
What the **** are you doing here?​

Jose wipes off his face and hands the General his papers.

JOSE
I hold in my hand the names of some powerful people in the guerilla force. I can give them to you tommorrow, we will be attacking one of your bases.​

The general looks at the paper, smiling slightly but keeping his game face on.​

GENERAL
I assume there is something you want us to give you for these people. What do you want?​

Jose looks the General dead in the eyes.​

JOSE
I want to go to America.​

EXT. WOODS - NIGHT
Rain pours down upon the guerrillas hiding out in the trees. Jose, Alberto, and two other members of the Liberation force sit hunched over, carrying sniper rifles in their hands. Alberto taps Jose’s shoulder.​

ALBERTO
We’re about three miles from their base. They’ll never even see us snipe them, right, Tomas?​

Tomas is a young and gifted sniper. He is thin, smart and athletic. You would have never guessed that the man he was standing next to, who was looking through night vision goggles, was his brother Roberto. Roberto was chubby and unathletic, but was a great strategist.​

TOMAS
You’re damn right. That will teach them to mess with crocodile isle.​

Roberto pauses a second to stop looking through the goggles and laughs.​

ROBERTO
Don’t get too excited Tomas, you haven’t shot anything yet.​

Alberto looks at his friend Roberto through shifty eyes. He nods to the goggles.​

ALBERTO
You see anything?​

Roberto shakes his head.​

ROBERTO
Their base is devoid of life. Not one person is moving down there. Either they’re very crafty or very stupid.​

Jose winces, but none of them see it.​

TOMAS
Stupid is more like it!​

They all laugh. Roberto looks back in his goggles.​

ROBERTO
Wait...I see someone moving.​

ALBERTO
Who is it?​

ROBERTO
It’s an Indonesian soldier. He’s doing a routine sweep around the base. Ha, we got this guy right where we want him and he doesn’t even know it.​

Alberto nods, and then gestures to Tomas.​

ALBERTO
Tomas, go to a better ground for sniping. We’ll see you there later.​

Tomas smiles, and slides down the slope they are all standing on top of. Rain pours down in a muddy pool and he is coated in it. Alberto taps Jose.​

ALBERTO (CONT’D)
Jose, I’ve been meaning to ask you something.​

JOSE
What’s that?​

ALBERTO
Yesterday, when all of us were training at the camp, I didn’t see you. Where did you --​

A bullet pierces straight through Alberto’s skull. Blood shoots out onto the mud-soaked ground. Shouting comes from every direction. Jose looks down stupidly at his friend. Alberto’s eyes do not move -- he is dead.​

Roberto drops his goggles down in a haste, and starts firing his M-16 in every direction.​

ROBERTO
ALBERTO! YOU KILLED ALBERTO!​

All at once, three bullets shoot through Roberto’s fat body at record speed. They leave huge, wide-open holes in his back. He falls downwards, the rain shooting through him.​

More shouting, and the rush of feet. In a trance, Jose grabs his shotgun and steps over the two dead bodies of his friends. He slides down the slope face first. His entire body is covered in blood, dirt and rain.​

He turns around and sees Tomas standing there, not moving. He runs to the frail young boy.​

JOSE
TOMAS! I’M HERE TOMAS!​

He grabs Tomas and pulls him around. He looks at him, shocked. Blood soaks down the neck of Tomas. When he speaks, he chokes it up.​

TOMAS
Jose...​

Another gunshot, and blood sprays across Jose’s face. The boy falls to the ground. He will not get up again. Jose looks down in horror, and closes his eyes, trying to let the rain wash the blood off of him.​

When he opens them again he sees three American soldiers armed and coming after him. One of them, a blonde-haired kid in his twenties, walks in Jose’s direction.​

AMERICAN SOLDIER
Are you Jose Mulando?​

Jose looks at him in disbelief.​

JOSE
Yes.​

The American Soldier grabs Jose and pulls him to the ground. Rain pours down Jose’s body. He looks up at the soldier, at a loss for words.​

AMERICAN SOLDIER
Welcome to America.​

The blonde American then steps on Jose’s face with his combat boots. His other friends start to laugh. Jose’s screams echo in the night.​

FADE OUT.
FADE IN:
INT. DIE VALUECTIC’S ROOM - NIGHT
Die Valuectic’s room is bare, save for a couple photos of show-dogs and a depressing white bed. Jayna takes a deep breath, and keeps the gun pointed at Pira’s head. Pira looks around, worried.​

PIRA
What do you think they’re doing out there?​

JAYNA
I don’t know, and I don’t care.​

Pira sighs.​

PIRA
You mean you don’t want to.​

JAYNA
Shut up!​

Jayna looks at the doorway, a little scared. Pira rolls her eyes.​

PIRA
Hey Jayna, there’s something I forgot to tell you.​

JAYNA
Oh yeah, what’s that?​

Pira takes Jayna’s hand and twists it. Jayna shrieks, and Pira punches Jayna in the face hard. Then she bends down and picks up the revolver. She points it back at Jayna.​

PIRA
I know how to use a gun.​

INT. OUTSIDE OF MAX’S OLD ROOM - NIGHT
Spork prances down the hallway, sliding one hand down the wall and keeping the other on his shotgun. He stops when he gets right outside Max Shreck’s room. Inside, the fountain flows as peacefully as ever.​

SPORK
It’s hot and spicy time.​

He unstraps the shotgun and points it in front of him. He walks into Max’s room.​

INT. MAX’S OLD ROOM - NIGHT
As Spork walks in, the room is empty. He looks around, keeping his gun in his hands and one finger on the trigger. Nobody is there. He turns a corner.​

SPORK
BOOM! Head shot!​

His words echo throughout the room. He shrugs and turns around.
Danger Mouse comes out of the corner, his hair and face a mess. He punches Spork in the face leaving a small imprint with his fist on the sexy one’s forehead. Spork falls backwards onto the white tile floor.​

It takes a while for Spork to realize what just happened to him. When he does, he gets up and yanks at Danger Mouse’s arm and pulls it back in a fit of rage. There is a snap as he lets go, and then DM squeals in pain.​

Danger Mouse looks down at the floor and reaches for the shotgun. Spork, seeing him do this, steps on his hand as he reaches for it. Through a clump of hair we can hear Danger Mouse groan in pain. Spork lets his foot off of DM’s hand, and then kicks him in the face.​

Clutching his face with his injured hand, Danger Mouse rolls around the floor in pain. Stepping over him, Spork grabs him by the neck, pulling him slowly up the wall so that he’s level with The Last Meatbag. Spork smiles.​

SPORK (CONT’D)
You know, I don’t usually bother with Star Wars rejects like you. But you’ve really been a pain in my ass. You took the one person in my life that I still cared about away from me.​

Spork increases the pressure on Danger Mouse’s throat. Danger Mouse struggles to breathe. His face is now a mess of hair and fresh blood; a cut runs up his forehead.​

SPORK (CONT’D)
Yet really, I should be thanking you, because you just made it even sweeter for me when I take your life away from you.​

Then, as he grits his teeth, Spork grabs Danger Mouse by his dry, mossy hair and pulls him over to the fountain. He shoves him down to his knees. Danger Mouse breathes in deeply, preparing himself. In the middle of his breath, Spork dunks his head into the water by his hair, forcing him down and drowning him in it.​

WE SEE DANGER MOUSE STRUGGLING UNDERWATER, TRYING TO BREATHE.​

Spork keeps Danger Mouse’s head emerged in the fountain until he stops moving.​

INT. EXALTED’S CHAMBER ROOM - NIGHT
Webmistress kept her gun pointed at the Exalted, cautiously looking at him through her golden eyes.​

THE EXALTED
PUT THE GUN DOWN ALEXIA. LET US TRY TO ACT LIKE NORMAL, RATIONAL HUMAN BEINGS, IF JUST FOR ONCE.​

Webmistress shakes her head angrily.​

WEBMISTRESS
What the hell do you know about being a human being of any kind? You were really going to kill that helpless girl, weren’t you? What point would that prove?​

The Exalted starts to laugh.​

THE EXALTED
PIRA CAN MORE THAN TAKE CARE OF HERSELF. WE ARE THE ONES WHO ARE HELPLESS. AND I WASN’T TRYING TO PROVE ANYTHING. I JUST WANTED TO SEE YOU AGAIN.​

Webmistress looks at the Exalted, completely disgusted with him.​

WEBMISTRESS
You did all of this, to what? Talk to you prized student again? Why didn’t you just page me?​

The Exalted shrugs and laughs.​

THE EXALTED
OKAY, SO MAYBE I DID HAVE SOMETHING TO PROVE. OR MAYBE I’M JUST A CRAZY PRICK, SCREWING WITH EVERYONE I COME INTO CONTACT WITH. IT DOESN’T MATTER. I’M NOT GOING TO LIE TO YOU ANYMORE. I’VE BEEN LYING MY WHOLE LIFE, TRYING TO LIVE UP TO SOME IDEAL I KNEW IN MY HEART WAS FICTIONAL. I JUST, I WANT YOU TO SEE, THAT THERE’S A PEACEFUL WAY TO DO THINGS.​

Matt Murdock appears from out of the corner and points his gun at the Exalted’s head. Webmistress points her gun at him and then back at the Exalted.​

MATT MURDOCK
That’s great and all, but right now I’m a loose cannon and I’m about ready to ****ing explode.​

WEBMISTRESS
Matt, you shouldn’t be here.​

Matt turns to Webby angry and points the gun at her.​

MATT MURDOCK
You knew this would happen, didn’t you, Webby? Why didn’t you tell me anything? You lied to me!​

THE EXALTED
BIG SURPRISE.​

Matt turns the gun back to the Exalted.​

MATT MURDOCK
SHUT UP! In case you forgot, I’m a ****ing psychopath, and if you say the wrong thing to me, I JUST MIGHT BLOW YOUR ****ING HEAD OFF!​

WEBMISTRESS
Calm down Matt. You’re drunk and you’re not thinking straight.​

MATT MURDOCK
**** you and your bull****, Webby! I loved you and I still love you--​

THE EXALTED
OH, GAG ME WITH A ****ING SPOON. YOU TWO ARE THE SINGLE MOST F’ED UP COUPLE IN THE HISTORY OF TIME. JUST HAVE CRAZY WILD SEX AND STOP WASTING MY TIME.​

MATT MURDOCK
And you know what Exalted, I don’t want to hear one goddamn word from you. Since I’ve been here, you’ve been nothing but a cancer to me. So it’s time I return the favour.​

Matt reaches to pull the trigger of his gun but Exalted grabs Matt by the neck, taking him down. Webmistress keeps her gun on both of them, shocked. She grits her teeth.​

Exalted, keeping one hand on Matt, pulls his hood off. Jose’s face is a collection of scars from different places. He has grown since that night in the rain, he has gotten older and he seems to look at the world differently. His eyes are no longer slanted, but are wide open and switch from side to side.​

Matt looks up at the Exalted in fear and shock. Webmistress tries to relax her finger on the trigger. She looks at Exalted and Matt, concentrated. Then she sees Altered Ego behind the both of them, slicking back his hair and grinning at her. She puts her gun down in shock.​

ALTERED EGO
Kill him.​

Webmistress shakes her head furiously. Matt grabs onto Exalted’s hands, trying to get the grip off of his neck. He looks at Webmistress worried. Exalted stares at her, looking through her.​

ALTERED EGO (CONT’D)
Pull the trigger and shoot him! NOW!​

Webmistress raises her shotgun again, and points it back at the Exalted.​

INT. MAX’S OLD ROOM
For a long time Danger Mouse remains motionless as Spork keeps his head underwater. Then his hand moves, grabbing onto Spork’s face. He pulls back and Spork increases his hold on Danger Mouse’s head. Danger Mouse then kicks backwards and punts Spork in the crotch. Spork lets go, and Danger Mouse gets up, his hair now wet and wild. Spork grabs him again by the throat and tries to choke him.​

DANGER MOUSE
...No...​

Danger Mouse steps on Spork’s foot, crushing it. It distracts Spork enough that he lets go and Danger Mouse head-butts him. Then he kicks Spork in the knees hard and punches him in the face with a clenched fist.
Spork steps back. He is now just as bloodied as Danger Mouse was before. He wipes blood off of his forehead with his hand. Danger Mouse pulls back and punches him again, this time harder.​

There is a third hit, and a fourth. Spork spits blood onto the ground, and shakes his head, unbelieving.​

SPORK
I beat the former master...​

He looks at Danger Mouse and he spits out another wad of blood onto the floor. This one looks like it has something in it.​

SPORK (CONT’D)
I can beat the former apprentice.​

Spork goes to hit Danger Mouse, but Danger Mouse comes running at him, knocking the both of them into the bed. A pile of stuffed animals falls on top of them. Spork grabs one of them and stands up. He slaps Danger Mouse around with it, swinging it like a maniac.​

Then Spork looks down at the stuffed animal confused. It is a teddy bear. He stands there staring at it and starts to laugh. The irony of it kills him and he bends down, laughing loudly.​

Danger Mouse takes advantage and hits him with an uppercut, sending him flying on top of the bed. The sudden weight of Spork causes the bed to fall apart and it slams down on the ground, leaving a pile of dust in its wake.​

The dust surrounds Spork and he rolls himself off the bed landing with a thud onto the hard tile floor. As he tries to stand up, his knees crack. He sits back down, and Danger Mouse appears with Spork’s shotgun. He points it at Spork and smiles.​

There is footsteps and the click of something metal. Danger Mouse’s smile disappears.​

FEMININE VOICE
Get away from my boyfriend.​

Danger Mouse turns around and sees Pira standing there with a gun pointed to Jayna’s head. Jayna looks at Danger Mouse and smiles sadly. Danger Mouse points the gun back at Spork, and Spork looks over at Pira and nods to her.​

SPORK
Hi Pira. I’m here to rescue you.​

PIRA
Hi Spork. How are things?​

SPORK
Pretty good actually. I mean, aside from the whole bleeding thing, but that seems to happen to me naturally.​

Danger Mouse looks at Jayna, and shoves the shotgun into Spork’s forehead.​

DANGER MOUSE
Let Jayna go.​

PIRA
Only if you let Spork go first.​

Danger Mouse looks at Pira and Jayna, and then looks back at Spork. He reluctantly drops the shotgun down to the ground, and Spork gets up. Pira puts the gun away from Jayna.​

Danger Mouse runs to Jayna and they embrace in each other’s arms. Spork walks over to Pira and scratches his head.​

SPORK
I was worried about you, you know.​

PIRA
I know Spork. So was I.​

SPORK
Look...I, I wish there was some way I could um, make this up to you.​

Pira nods, and runs her hand up Spork’s face.​

PIRA
There’s a way.​

Spork’s face lights up in a mischievous way.​

SPORK
Really, sexy?​

PIRA
Talk to Teddy. Get over whatever’s going on with you guys. Then, I want to meet him.​

Spork nods, and smiles.​

SPORK
Okay. I’ll do it for you.​

Pira smiles, and they kiss passionately.​
 
INT. EXALTED’S CHAMBER ROOM

Webmistress looks at them through golden eyes. Then she throws her gun to the floor and shakes her head. Exalted lets go and Matt topples over onto the ground. Webmistress grabs Matt and pulls him up.

Exalted shakes his head, sighing.

THE EXALTED
None of you get it, do you? Here we are, trapped in this building called the Hype. None of us know why, and while we should question this, what do we do? We gun for each other!​

Webmistress takes Matt in her hands. He is in a drunken stupor. She looks over at Exalted.

WEBMISTRESS
Listen, Exalted. We’re sorry about this misunderstanding, but--

THE EXALTED
Misunderstanding? For the longest time, like you, I thought the only way to solve things was through violence. That was the only way I was ever going to get anything done. Then the strangest thing happened. My country, which had known only violence, solved it’s problems through nonviolence. Through Peace and Love, they got their independence.​

Exalted looks off and wipes tears off his face. He laughs, and Alexia watches him sadly.

THE EXALTED (CONT’D)
You know what the funniest part of it was? I came to this country as a speaker on Peace. And even though I had seen it all around me, I knew that would never be what I truly was. Like you, I was too quick on the damn trigger.​

Matt stands up on his own, swaying a little from side to side. He rubs his hand on his forehead.

MATT MURDOCK
No offense, but what does this have to do with anything?​

The Exalted shakes his head in fury and outstretches his hands.

THE EXALTED
Are you blind? Look around you. Not only are there doctors and trolls and god knows what else, but we’re all ****ing loony. The truth behind the Hype lies inside of us! This is not a good place, and we are not good people. That’s all I wanted to prove.​

Webmistress shakes her head and picks up her shotgun.

WEBMISTRESS
You made your point. Come on, Matt. Let’s get out of here.​

Webmistress walks out and Matt follows her. Exalted stands there alone.
His robe is tainted, it is falling off of him. He watches them leave and bites his lips.

Danger Mouse and Jayna come out of the other corner. Danger Mouse, beaten and confused, turns to look at The Exalted.

DANGER MOUSE
Well? What now?​

Jose Mulando looks over at the two people in his throne room and closes his eyes. Then he opens them again, and puts his hood back over himself.

THE EXALTED
NOW...WE WAIT.​

FADE OUT.
HYPE: THE SERIES.
 
This one would've came weeks ago if I weren't such a b**ch, sorry guys. Next one will be up as soon as Sir JJ gets it over to me.
 
Hmm... I like reading this series, but I'm always confused.

Is "The Exalted" the antagonist or the protagonist.

At times he seems like the hero and other times his motives seem selfish.

Still it's quite entertaining, and seeing the legacy of "The Exalted"

go on despite the fact that he's been banned for sometime

now is quite cool.


The fact that "The Exalted's" name is "Jose" is hilarious, Im sure he's

laughing at that alias right now.

Well Done.

Well Done.
That's actually one of the major themes we tried to explore in this story. Every characters motivations are questionable, and their role is constantly shifting. It's only the most obvious in the Exalted, because he is the one in the biggest position of power. He intimidates people. I hope this makes a little more sense to you, again most of your questions will be answered in this show's finale, if we ever get to it.
 
Alright I remember MC (who's currently working on the edit for 17) saying that he didn't remember what the hell was going on with this show so I guess its time for another one of those recap things. I'll write one up real quick.:ninja: Its somewhat rushed and may not contain enough to fill you in but at least i tried.

HYPE THE SERIES RECAP: "MIND-OPENER"

FADE TO BLACK

NARRATOR
Have you ever wondered what was real and what was not real?

FADE IN
EXT. SKY

We see the building Spork is talking about. It is magnificent. Covered in blue walls, the structure stands out as if it was the Valley of God. It is a castle that promises to save their lives and make them better. Victor has a weird feeling as he watches it, that maybe perhaps the building was as much a curse as it was a miracle. But that is ridiculous. It is their ticket to survival. Why then, does it feel so horrible as they dray nearer and nearer to it?​

SPORK​
Hurry up, we’re gonna crash!!!​

Victor gears the controls up and readies for a steady landing. The roof is coming closer and closer. They both almost felt it. They were going to land on it. The tires wheeled across the roof and they had done it. They LAND.​

Then the plane gives up, and they crash right through the roof nose first with a gigantic bang. The plane comes down through the roof into a hallway, smashing its way down until it finally hits the floor.

NARRATOR
What actually happened, and what you just imagined?

We now hear a noise that sounds supernatural in origin. Victor stands up and looks around.​
VICTOR​
What the hell was that?​

SPORK​
What was what?​

VICTOR​
That noise. You mean you didn’t hear it?​

NARRATOR
And what it takes to give up on your own beliefs?

The noise again, it sounds louder—and closer.​

SPORK​
What was that?​
VICTOR​
Have you even been listening to me for the past 10 seconds?​
SPORK​
No, why?​

FADE TO WHITE
FADE IN

NARRATOR
And, more importantly, have you ever felt like somebody was watching you...

Victor now begins to freak out, and starts to run. In a mad dash he runs past more hallways, more doors, and more portraits. He finally stops to catch his breath. As he does, he sees a doctor not too far away from him.​
VICTOR​
Hey, you! Our plane just crashed, we—​
But then the doctor disappears as suddenly as he appeared. Victor chases after him, but it is of no use. It was as if he had vanished into thin air.

NARRATOR
And when you lose all control...

Matt Murdock shoots Victor in the head, Soldiers run down the hallways covered in water, snipers point guns at Spork, Spork shoots a ferret.


NARRATOR
Who will be there to protect you?

Danger Mouse awakes from water dripping on his face. He breaths heavily then groans. Eventually he tries to get up but can’t. His hands and feet are restrained.

DANGER MOUSE
What’s going on?!

Three bulky shadows, look like they’re wearing biohazard suits, and one lone figure in a blue gown wearing a hairnet are standing around what looks like a stretcher.

SILHOUETTE​
His heart is beating too fast, give him the injection.

DANGER MOUSE
What injection? What the fu—

NARRATOR
Your mind begins to tremble. You remember things, and you forget things. And the most necessary of questions remains unanswered...where are you and how did you get here?

Matt Murdock stands above Victor Von doom.

MATT MURDOCK
Good morning. Well, not really. But anyway, welcome to the Hype. You must be having some questions you want answered.​
VICTOR VON DOOM​
Hype—what’s…?​
MATT MURDOCK
It's where you are.[FONT=&quot] You say you know how you got here. I find this odd since none of us can remember how we got here and why. Most of us can remember only bits and pieces of what happened before we were here.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
We see Webmistress aka Alexia Dark killing her father's thugs, we see Spork talking to Master Chief, we see Matt Murdock and Michael talking to each other, we see Michael doing porno. Then we see several shots of a young boy wearing bling.

MAX SHRECK
I'll call him Mr. Thing since he's not even a real person.


NARRATOR
And who holds the answers that you seek?

We see flashes of the Exalted, and then of Hippie Hunter jumping down at his Anti-hippie mobile. We see Lumberjack, Max Shreck, Victor Von Doom, and a small ferret.

SPORK
Look...I, I wish there was some way I could um, make this up to you.​

Pira nods, and runs her hand up Spork’s face.​

PIRA
There’s a way.​

Spork’s face lights up in a mischievous way.​

SPORK
Really, sexy?​

PIRA
Talk to Teddy. Get over whatever’s going on with you guys. Then, I want to meet him.​

Spork nods, and smiles.​

SPORK
Okay. I’ll do it for you.

FADE TO BLACK
FADE IN
INT. HYPE HALLWAYS

We see Sentinel running through the hallways, carrying the limp body of Robin in his huge arms. His face emits an expression of distraught; he is no longer a machine. He is dressed in a white tank top and army pants, looking as if he had just stepped out of the Bronx.

CUT TO:
CLOSE UP ON DOUBLE DOORS.

Both of the doors are kicked down; sent flying across what is obviously a dining room. A large dinner table is centered in the room, seated there: Matt Murdock, dressed in a fine tuxedo and without his usual blood colored sunglasses; Webmistress, seated to Matt's left and holding his hand, wearing a blood red (same as Matt's sunglasses), strapless dress; Spork, smiling, wearing a simple black suit without a tie, seated right next to Pira, who is wearing a silver/white silky dress; Chain Reaction, dressed in a black, strapless dress with a pink scarf wrapped around her shoulders; Hippie Hunter, wearing a white dress shirt and navy dress pants with slicked back hair; Three seats are left emptied. Standing around the room are four men dressed in tuxedos, wearing Biohazard masks and holding syringes with a golden liquid inside. Matt stands up to address Sentinel.

MATT
We have been waiting for you, Kasper.
SENTINEL
...Waiting? For me? My god, what about...
Sentinel looks down at the body of Robin in his hands. He looks up and Matt is now standing over one of the empty seats, with his hands on the neck of the seat.

MATT
Don't worry about him, Kasper. You're still alive; that's all that matters. Now, sit.
Sentinel gently sets down Robin's body on the Chinese printed carpet, and falls down to his knees. He is in complete and utter agony: The veins in his arms are pulsating and his eyes are rolling to the back of his head; blood is dripping from his nose. All of the butlers are gathering around Sentinel: Each one sticks a syringe in his neck, from a different corner each. His screams of pain and torture don't stop, not until after we...

FADE TO BLACK
FADE IN
EXT. EXALTED’S THRONE ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Sentinel awakes on the floor. He lifts himself up with his metal arm and slowly stands up. He groans inwardly. Across from him is a woman wearing a leather vest atop a white shirt. Her eyes light up when she sees he has awoken.

SENTINEL_08
What just happened? Where’s Spork, what—
WOMAN
Spork betrayed you.
SENTINEL_08
But where’s Matt? Wheres…
WOMAN
Matt left you a long time ago. I don’t even know if he remembers he left you here, which is pretty typical of him. Exalted sent me to look over you.
SENTINEL_08
Exalted? He’s not going to kill me is he?
She laughs at this.

WOMAN
Why would Exalted want to kill you?
Sentinel shakes his head and looks down at the floor.

SENTINEL_08
I don’t know. It’s something Matt said.
WOMAN
Your friend Matt is sort of a psychopath, Sentinel. That’s your name right? I’m Jayna, by the way.

Jayna offers out her hand for greeting and Sentinel suddenly comes to his senses.
SENTINEL_08
Oh. Hello, Jayna. That’s a very pretty name.
JAYNA
Sure, whatever. Exalted will want to talk to you now.

A look of doubt appears on Sentinel’s face.

SENTINEL_08
What if I don’t want to talk to him?
Jayna shrugs.

JAYNA
Your loss then, I guess.
Sentinel looks towards the exit. Then he looks back at Jayna, shakes his head, and reluctantly follows her inside the throne room.

INT. EXALTED’S THRONE ROOM
Jayna leads Sentinel into a big open spaced room that resembles an empty warehouse. Standing in the middle is a very agitated young man and an old, slowly dying Timorese leader who also appears to be losing his patience. The older one looks over and sees that Sentinel has entered the room.

OLDER MAN
Well, it appears our guest has decided to join us. Thank you for taking time out of your day to come talk to me, I appreciate it.
JAYNA
Sentinel, meet Exalted. And that tall drink of water over there is my boyfriend, Danger Mouse.
Sentinel reaches out his hand to shake Danger Mouse’s but Danger Mouse does not move. Instead, he looks over at Jayna, his eyes cold.

DANGER MOUSE
Jayna, can I talk to you privately?
JAYNA
Okay, DM. I’ll just let these guys talk then.
Sentinel watches as Danger Mouse escorts Jayna by the arm. He turns over to look at the other person in the room.

SENTINEL_08
So you’re the Exalted?
THE EXALTED
(Sigh)
Yes, I am. I’m afraid you’ve caught me at a rather bad time, Sentinel. I’m sorry for all of this and lord knows I don’t want to do it right now of all goddamned times, but I have to explain myself to someone and I figure you’re as good a person as any, you being new and all.
Sentinel nods.

SENTIENL_08
What did you want to explain to me?
THE EXALTED
That despite what Matt may have told you, I’m really not that bad of a person. Okay, so I have a few skeletons in my closet but who doesn’t really? I just…look, soon, and I know you feel it too everyone does, something is going to happen in this place. Maybe, we’re going to find out why we’re here. Maybe someone’s going to finally lose it. But when I feel the tension start to rise like it is now, I start to get a little nervous. Then I need someone I can talk to when things get real bad. Can I talk to you Sentinel?
SENTINEL_08
No.
THE EXALTED
I understand. Lord knows everyone has their alleigiances, and I’m not one to break them. You probably have someplace you’d rather be, am I correct?
SENTINEL_08
Yes. Ball Buster needs me to administer his wounds.
Sentinel looks back over his shoulder, where Danger Mouse and Jayna left. The Exalted sees this and ignores it.

THE EXALTED
Sounds classy.
SENTINEL_08
It’s loads of fun too. And great practice.
THE EXALTED
Well, then, take good care of Robin for me.
The skin of Sentinel_08 turns colder than it already was before. He balls up his hands into fists.

SENTINEL_08
What do you know about Robin?
THE EXALTED
Nothing, he just seems like a good kid to me. Watch over him. And don’t blame me for your problems Sentinel. Everyone else already does.
There is a slight moment of hesitation where it looks like Sentinel may strike, but he does not act on it.
SENTINEL_08
Goodbye, then. Have fun doing whatever it is you do around here. I have a patient that’s waiting for me.
Sentinel turns around and leaves.

INT. BLUE ROOM

Danger Mouse and Jayna walk into the empty room. He turns to her, looking at her with dark eyes that piece through his overflowing hair. She stares right back at him.

DANGER MOUSE
So, what do you think of this Sentinel guy?
JAYNA
I don’t know. He seemed kind of creepy, actually. He said I had a pretty name.
DANGER MOUSE
Listen, Jayna. I worry about you…a lot.
Jayna looks at Danger Mouse confused.

JAYNA
Why?
DANGER MOUSE
I’ve been oblivious to it up until now, but now its time to take action.
JAYNA
You’re gonna cut your hair?
DANGER MOUSE
Wait you don’t like my hair?
JAYNA
Um…no, I love it.
Danger Mouse looks relieved.

DANGER MOUSE
Anyway, that’s not what I was talking about. Spork and his girlfriend tried to kill you, Jayna. Matt Murdock and Webmistress come at us everyday, driven by malicious intentions. It’s time we act.
JAYNA
What would Exalted say about that?
DANGER MOUSE
Exalted is crazy, Jayna, and he’s getting crazier by the second. You saw him out there. He’s losing his mind. For too long have I let people push me around. Now its time for me to move.
JAYNA
You’re sure about this?
DANGER MOUSE
Yes. I’m not going to let you get hurt again, Jayna.
Danger Mouse walks past Jayna, leaving her standing there. Her hands start to visibly shake, but then they stop.

JAYNA

Haha, JJ kept in the bathroom scene I wrote. That's funny, especially since Sentinel is aware it's the same bathroom from Harry Potter.
