NORL:

(to Den)

Now we separate. You and Korg

take this door into the Queen's

quarters. The rest of us will

move through the walls and enter

her chamber from the other side.

Whoever gets the Loc-Nar first will

return it to Ard. Good luck, Den.

DEN nods, puts out his torch and carefully opens the door as

NORL moves off.

CUT TO:

DARK ROOM:

DEN and KORG silently enter. Across the dark room, the

glow of the green ball casts a pale light.

KORG:

(whispers and points)

Loc-Nar.

DAN:

(V.O.)

Wow! It was just like the

ball I dug up in my back yard.

They tip-toe towards it.

DAN:

(V.O.)

As I saw the Loc-Nar's glow I

had this real funny feeling. All

by themselves, my hands reached

forward to touch it. But the

Loc-Nar moved out of the way.

Instead, my hands felt something

else - warm flesh. Then the lights

came on.

In the brightly lit room, DEN is standing before the beautiful

semi-clad QUEEN, and holding her firm, naked breasts in his hands.

Looking around, he sees that he and KONG are surrounded by a

brigade of the Queen's ugly guards, swords raised.

DAN:

(V.O.)

Talk about embarassing!

QUEEN:

(smiling)

Kill them.

The Queen's guards attack with battle-axes, clubs and swords.

As DEN knees one in the groin and swings his gun into another's

face, four of the guards surround KORG and club his brains out.

But DEN, still going strong, throws two guards into the wall

and heaves a third out the window. As the QUEEN watches with

glee, more guards rush into the room and DEN is finally over-

powered and held down. The Captain of the guards places a long

knife against Den's throat.

CAPTAIN:

Can I slit his throat, your

Majesty?

The QUEEN, eyeing Den's magnificent body, sighs.

QUEEN:

Yes, slit his throat.

CAPTAIN:

Thank you, your Majesty.

As the Captain presses his knife against Den's flesh, the

QUEEN suddenly raises her hand.

QUEEN:

(smiling)

Stop! I have, ah, something better

in mind.

She takes Den's hand and leads him into an adjoining room, as

the guards grumble to one another.

GUARD #1

Jeez, not again.

GUARD #2

This always happens.

CAPTAIN:

Look, she's the Queen. She

can do whatever she wants.

GUARD #2

Yeah, sure.

GUARD #1

Sure.

CUT TO:

THE QUEEN'S BOUDOIR

The QUEEN stands before DEN, hands on her hips and a funny look

in her eye.

QUEEN:

If you please me, I may let

you live.

She smiles, and approaches DEN.

DAN:

(V.O.)

Uh oh.

DEN:

What must I do?

QUEEN:

Satisfy my appetites.

The QUEEN lets her cloak drop to the floor as she gets closer.

She is naked underneath.

DAN:

(V.O.)

Wow! Eighteen years of nuthin'

and now, twice in one day. What

a place!

QUEEN:

Come with me.

DEN:

Mmmm.

She steps forward and takes his hand, leading him towards the

bed.

DISSOLVE TO:

THE QUEEN'S BED

DEN and the QUEEN are lying undressed on the enormous bed.

The QUEEN has a very contented look on her face. DEN looks

exhausted. As the Neverwhere moon rises outside the chamber

window, the QUEEN slowly runs her hand over DEN'S bulging

muscles.

QUEEN:

(softly)

The rising moon climaxes our

love, Den. Is is a sign, a

new beginning.

DEN:

Yes, a sign.

DAN:

(V.O.)

I had no idea what she was

talking about.

QUEEN:

(stroking him)

Neverwhere is a troubled land,

but together we could calm it.

We could rule side by side.

Your strength has brought great

peace to my restless body. It

could bring great peace to all

the troubled people of this land.

DAN:

(V.O.)

I knew I was good, but I didn't know

I was that good.

Suddenly the Captain and his guards burst through the door.

CAPTAIN:

Your Majesty! The Loc-Nar is missing

- stolen!

The QUEEN jumps to her feet in a rage and points to DEN.

QUEEN:

(screaming)

Fiend! You make love to me while

your accomplices steal the magic

sphere! Guards! Take him!

The guards grab DEN as the QUEEN snatches one of their big

spiked clubs.

QUEEN:

(to guards)

Hold him still! I will kill

him myself!

DAN:

(V.O.)

Boy, was she pissed off!

Heaving the guards aside, DEN breaks free and jumps out the

chamber window.

CUT TO:

THE CASTLE WALL:

DEN falls down, down into the swirling waters of the castle

moat.

(CUT TO)

THE QUEEN:

She is livid.

QUEEN:

Prepare the flying lizards.

I want his head!

CUT TO:

OUTSIDE THE CASTLE

Pulling himself out of the moat, DEN knocks a guard off his

leopard/horse and rides off.

CUT TO:

THE NEVERWHERE PYRAMID

ARD is kneeling at the edge of the sacrificial pool. Beside

him sits a long glass case wrapped in chains. Through the

chains we see KATHERINE trapped inside - fully conscious and

terrified. Ard's bestial warriors stand all around carrying

torches and spears.
