Bermuda City- Joshua’s Room
Cop: Open up! We know that you’re in there!
Jeff: I’ve got to get out of here!
|The Cops are trying to knock the door open, so Jeff stands beside it, the door slams open and Jeff catches it by the knob and the officers rush in|
Cop: Get up now!
|Joshua wakes up and stares at the police men holding guns at him|
Joshua: Oh my god. What is going on?
Officer: You have the right to remain silent, sir.
Joshua: Wait! What did I do? |The policemen take him by the arm as they continue to read him his rights and cuff him|
Officer: You’re under arrest for the assassination of Charity Lynn Standish Lopez-Fitzgerald.
Joshua: What? Charity’s dead?
|Jeff doesn’t take anytime slipping out of the door without anyone seeing him|
Jeff: This is so good.
Joshua: Look, you guys have made a big mistake. I didn’t kill anyone.
Officer: And what’s this laying in your bed? |Picking up a gun with a cloth|
Joshua: I don’t know where that came from. I don’t own a gun. Nor have I ever seen this one.
Officer: Please, save it for the judge.
Detective: We’re going to dust this gun for fingerprints, and if yours shows up, you’re going to be walking the green mile.
Joshua: No!
|The police carry him out of the room|
Meanwhile at the beach house, Jeff enters and Todd is sleeping on the couch. Hank is sitting at the bottom step of the staircase.
Hank: Where have you been?
Jeff: That’s none of your business.
Hank: Jeez, I was just asking a simple question.
Jeff: Well, it need not concern you. So if you don’t mind, I’m going up to bed now.
Hank: Fine, Sleep well man.
Jeff: Yeah, whatever.
|Jeff heads upstairs|
Hank: What’s his problem?
Meanwhile in the abandoned town of Harmony, construction is still in process to build the new amusement park.
| 5 workers are shoveling a bunch of dirt to make way for a pathway. One man stops and puts his shovel down|
Harry: What’s going on Don? Why’d you stop?
Don: I found something, Harry.
|Everyone laughs|
Max: Hah, you said you found something harry.
Don: Yeah, well anyway. It’s a bottle of some kind. |He holds it up|
Max: Hey, that looks like a genie bottle. You know, like what Barbara Eden lived in on that one show.
Don: Hah, maybe there’s a genie inside.
Max: Why don’t you open it Don.
Harry: It’s probably someone’s valuable from that big massacre 6 years ago. It must have gotten buried like most of this town.
Max: You know, must of that story doesn’t make any sense. I mean, the whole thing about a bad witch taking on good witch and destroying this entire town. That’s just plain crazy!
Jerry: You guy’s better believe it.
Max: Are you saying it’s all true?
Jerry: Yes. My dad was there when it happened. So was my entire family.
Max: Would you just open it already and see what’s inside.
Don: Okay, hold on. |He tries to take the cork off but it won’t budge|
Jerry: No! Give me that! |Jerry takes the bottle and runs|
Max: Hey! Get back here!
|He gets into his car and drives away|
