SAUNDRA:

What ?

BRUCE:

You took an awful big risk back there.

SAUNDRA:

Look I don't even wanna know how I got

in this mess. I just want out. It has

nothing to do with me.

BRUCE:

If you hadn't started boffing that

weasel with an attitude, you wouldn't

be here.

SAUNDRA:

I'M NOT BOFFING MATTHEW !

BRUCE:

Then you didn't give him any passwords

of any kind ?

SAUNDRA:

NO ! I wouldn't do that.

BRUCE:

Then he isn't embezzling either is he ?

SAUNDRA:

Why would he ? His parents are rich.

She starts walking again. Bruce contemplates this. He

vaguely remember the bank statements, but they did show

that he had a lot of money before the wire transfers

began, long before he started work at the bank. Bruce

runs back over to her.

INT. ROOM OF TUBES, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Matthew walks into a room that has several tubes of

varying shapes, colors, & sizes, yet all are big enough

for a person to climb into and crawl through.

ANNOUNCER:

(over the speakers)

So many tubes to get in, only one is

the way out.

MATTHEW:

Great.. great. Is there any kind of

hint or anything ?

ANNOUNCER:

(beat, and over speakers)

Pick with expediency !

The walls close in on him.

MATTHEW:

Don't rush me or anything.

Matthew frantically sizes up the ten or twelve tubes.

MATTHEW:

Blue IS my color.

Matthew climbs into the blue tube and crawls through it.

As he crawls through it, the tube begins to shake a

little, then spins.

MATTHEW (CONT'D)

Well isn't this fun.

He starts to move a lot faster. Then it begins to tip

downward.

MATTHEW:

Ohhhhhh SHHHHHHITTT !

INT. LANDING ROOM, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Matthew slides right into a fluffy pillow about ten feet

long.

Matthew looks around the small room. He puts his arm on

the back of his neck and starts to rub.

MATTHEW:

I am definitely going to see a

chiropractor.

A door slides like Star Trek open before him. A giant

spotlight shines on Matthew.

ANNOUNCER:

(from the new room)

Okay drivers ! Start your engines !

Matthew slowly rises and looks into the race track room.

ANNOUNCER:

Remember not to touch the floor or

else...

(a giant buzzer sound)

You'll get the shock of your life !

Matthew gets into a smaller size race car.

INT. SUBWAY TUNNEL, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Saundra is still walking ahead of Bruce. He is still

limping & trying to catch up.

BRUCE:

So you're telling me you were set up ?

I knew something was wrong.

SAUNDRA:

(very sarcastic)

I'm not listening.

BRUCE:

Hey ! I'm still your best chance to get

out of here alive.

SAUNDRA:

You've been doing a bang up job so far.

Right now Matt is probably dead and

it's your fault.

Bruce stops in his tracks.

INT. CONTROL ROOM, MURDERLAND

Johnny & Zach are reviewing the tapes.

ZACH:

What's Mr. Parker doing ?

On the live feed monitor we see Matthew driving a

miniature bumper car around a maze.

JOHNNY:

He's driving. He can't step off or he'll be electrocuted

and I haven't open the maze up yet. He can't get out.

A cell phone rings. Johnny turns and looks around.

Zach removes the phone from his jacket pocket.

ZACH:

(into cell phone)

Zachary.

JOHN C. MCCAY

(V.O. from phone)

Zach, my boy ! How is tonights

adventure going ?

ZACH:

Good, sir.

CUT TO:

INT. JOHN C. MCAY'S KITCHEN - NIGHT

John C. McCay is in a robe and drinking wine from a nice

glass. There is a beautiful woman in a MAID's outfit in

the room.

JOHN C. MCCAY

(into phone)

Is it as good as I hope it is ?

ZACH:

(V.O. from phone)

Better, sir.

The Maid approaches Mr. McCay and starts to kiss his

neck.

JOHN C. MCCAY

(to Maid)

One moment dear...

(she goes down O.C.)

ZACH:

(V.O. from phone)

Sir ?

JOHN C. MCCAY

(into phone)

Not you Zach.

(to Maid)

Remember, my wife is asleep upstairs,

dear.

(back into phone)

Zach, am I gonna like what I see on

this tape ? Is it the grandest of all

the Park's tapes ?
