BRUCE:
I was hired in and started to do the
boring old work routine. I was
originally brought in as a technical
advisor. First Bank had sponsored my
scholarships.
INT. BRUCE'S OFFICE - DAY
Flashback scene. Bruce is younger, clean shaven and in a
suit. He has his own office & on his desk is the old
game MOUSETRAP, modified and works by itself.
John C. McCay enters.
McCay talks to Bruce with a smile on his face & motions
for them to leave together.
BRUCE:
(V.O.)
I was asked to design something for Mr.
McCay. I had no idea what it was. I
though it was going to be a real
amusement park.
INT. CLOSED SUBWAY TUNNEL - DAY
Through a door that has remained shut for many decades,
Bruce & John C McCay enter the dark room with a late
1800's or early 1900's feel to it.
BRUCE:
(V.O.)
When I first saw the abandoned subway
tunnel, I still had no idea what it was
he wanted done. I started work on the
park.
INT. SUBWAY TUNNEL UNDER CONSTRUCTION - DAY
Bruce is toiling away with the unfinished Main Street
Merry Go Round. There are a lot of construction workers
hammering and putting up walls.
The walls are starting to go up on all of the buildings
and it is a preliminary version of Main Street. There is
even an unfinished, unpainted castle.
BRUCE:
(V.O.)
This is when I found out the truth....
John McCay arrives with Zach. Bruce shakes hands with
Zach.
BRUCE (CONT'D)
They wanted a few changes in the
design.
The Merry Go Round begins to emit gunfire.
BRUCE:
(V.O.)
This is when they told what it was
really for. They said that the people
that would be sent down here would only
be criminals, the scum of the world.
INT. CONTROL ROOM, MURDERLAND - NIGHT
The younger Bruce is at the controls.
BRUCE:
(V.O.)
I remember the first guest. He was an
accountant that had raped his daughter.
He went to trial with the best lawyers
and got off. McCay used this as an
opportunity. We nabbed him and put him
in Murderland.
On the moniter we see a middle aged exec wake up and get
gunned down.
BRUCE:
(V.O.)
This is how I got started.
INT. WATER TANK ROOM, MURDERLAND - NIGHT
Bruce has his head down.
BRUCE:
I was lured by all the money and I
truly did convince myself that what I
did was for justice. Since then, McCay
has wanted to put anyone he can down
here.
SAUNDRA:
But how do you know if the people are
guilty ?
BRUCE:
I do a very thorough background check.
I go through police files, personel
files, anything.
SAUNDRA:
Then how come Matt and I showed up as
guilty ?
BRUCE:
It was there, clear as day. I saw the
computer records. Matthew has been fed
wiring money to his personal account.
(beat)
I just knew something was wrong.
SAUNDRA:
So you may have been duped this whole
time. Killing innocent people, that
must make you feel ..., how does it
feel ?
BRUCE:
There are other things too. They had
everyone start taking those psych
tests. Did they make you take one ?
SAUNDRA:
Yeah, everyone has to when they get
hired.
BRUCE:
There's more to it than trying to see
if you'd steal from the company or if
you'd lie or cheat.
SAUNDRA:
What do you mean ?
BRUCE:
McCay had a lot money done into
researching psychological reactions to
questions that are seemingly unrelated,
but reveal everything. Like criminal
impulses, homicidal impulses.....
The water is at the knees and rising.
SAUNDRA:
And you believe that ?
BRUCE:
I've since changed my mind. I designed
this place, based on my belief that I
was doing what the legal system
couldn't or wouldn't do. McCay had the
company buy the property and they pay
the bills. It's a tax write off. On the
books everything looks kosher. I have
an office on 5th that I haven't seen in
ten years.
SAUNDRA:
Doesn't anyone notice all the people
missing ?
