TREE #3

Yikes, I shouldn't have had that taco !

The other tree let's loose a yellow gas from the leaves.

Saundra begins to cough and gasp. Bruce does to, then he

runs over to the dinner table.

BRUCE:

Quick, drink this !

He hands her a cup of tea from the table.

SAUNDRA:

I don't get it.

BRUCE:

It's poison gas, this is the antidote.

Drink it.

TREE#2

You guys disgust me !

TREE #1

He hee hee hee hee.

TREE #3

Hey, pull my branch !

TREE #1

Hee hee hee hee heeh hee/

Saundra drinks the tea & then Bruce takes a swig.

BRUCE:

Come on let's get out of here.

INT. HALLWAY, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Bruce stops Saundra.

BRUCE:

Here. Help me get the panel off.

They tear at the wall piece and it comes off. Bruce sees

the power box.

BRUCE (CONT'D)

Get back !

Bruce pulls out the Shotgun and fires it.

All the lights go out.

INT. CONTROL ROOM, MURDERLAND

Over half the monitors go out. The grid of the entire

Murderland has over half go out.

JOHNNY:

What the ... ?

ZACH:

What happened ?

JOHNNY:

The power went out in half the park.

ZACH:

How can this happen ?

JOHNNY:

I don't know. I think that a power grid

just needs reset. Don't get your

panties in a bunch. I'll go down and

reset it.

ZACH:

Go in there ? What if Bruce finds you ?

JOHNNY:

Yeah, right. He's stuck all the way

over here

Johnny points on the map of the park on a monitor.

JOHNNY:

He'll never make it to the main power

grid. Those two are way over here...

(points to another area)

I'll be over here trying to get the

power back up. It'll only take a few

minutes.

Johnny gets a flashlight and a pistol.

INT. MINI CAR RACE TRACK, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Matthew is sitting in his miniature bumper car in the

dark. None of the other cars are moving and only the

emergency lights are on.

MATTHEW:

Hey ! Hey ! What happened ?

He throws his helmut on the floor. Nothing happens.

MATTHEW:

No guts no glory. Of course without any

guts, I'd have a hard time keeping my

food down.

He reaches out and touches the floor real fast. He

flinches. Nothing happens.

MATTHEW:

Electrocuted my ass !

He starts to walk around the race track.

INT. HALLWAY, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Bruce and Saundra are running through the now powerless

hall in the dark.

SAUNDRA:

Do you know where you're going ?

BRUCE:

Yes.

We hear a thud.

SAUNDRA:

What was that ?

BRUCE:

(painfully)

Girder, watch your head.

We hear a door open. Then a flashlight illuminates the

hall.

BRUCE (CONT'D)

Here, we can take this service tunnel

straight to the end. No one knows about

this but me. It'll lead you out to

Central Park, and I'll take care of my

#2.

They go into the long service tunnel. It's about 100

feet ahead and looks like just a brick tunnel where

workmen would walk.

INT. RACETRACK, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Matthew gets over to the wall where a barely visible

door is. With the partition, he never would have been

able to make it to this part if the floor was still

electrifying.

Matthew boldly opens the door and peeks in. The door

slams right back at him. He jumps in a panic.

There is a hallway with emergency lights on.

MATTHEW:

Well now Mr. Helper, I like the look of

this.

He goes in. There are two tunnels. He takes the one on

the right.

INT. OLD WEST TOWN SHERIFF'S OFFICE, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

From the ceiling, a hatch opens, Johnny looks around.

The power is barely on. Only the emergency lights are

on. He climbs down.

This is an all wooden simulated Sheriff's office circa

1865.

Johnny sees something out the window (he's on the second

floor).

INT. OLD WEST TOWN STREET, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Matthew walks into the enormous room that appears to be

a small section of an Old West Town. There is a Saloon,

a General Store, a Stable, and at the far end to his

right is the Sheriff's Station.

The lights are coming from the light fixtures in the

ceiling. This area still has full power. The ceiling is

about sixty feet up and simulates high noon. There is

even a wind machine blowing dust and tumble weeds back

and forth across the street.
