MATTHEW:

Where ?

BRUCE:

In the jail cell is a spiral staircase.

It leads to the surface. Take it all

the way up.

SAUNDRA:

What about you ?

BRUCE:

There's one more person here for me to

visit.

MATTHEW:

It's that a**hole Zach isn't it ?

SAUNDRA:

Zach from work ?

BRUCE:

He's the liaison for McCay. Listen go.

Go now.

MATTHEW:

Don't have to tell me twice.

Matthew starts running to the Sheriff's office.

SAUNDRA:

Just stop it. End it here.

BRUCE:

It'll end. It'll end with him and

McCay. Then the park shuts down.

Permanently.

The both go to the Sheriff's office. Bruce follows

Johnny's trail.

INT. CONTROL ROOM, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Zach sees nothing going on and decides to investigate.

Zach climbs down the ladder into...

INT. OLD WEST TOWN STREET, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

As he climbs down the ladder .....

Matthew and Saundra see Zach first. They stop

completely.

Zach gets all the way to the bottom before he sees them.

SAUNDRA:

(clears her throat)

AHEM.

Zach turns and sees them.

Saundra picks up a piece of wood from the wreckage of

the Saloon.

ZACH:

Might I suggest we...

MATTHEW:

Kick your ass ? Don't mind if

I do

(gets ready to punch him)

ZACH:

No !

Saundra belts him with the wood and Matthew punches him

fiercely.

Zach manages to get up and run into one of the halls.

INT. VIETNAM JUNGLE, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Johnny is cowering next to a tree.

It is very, very dark in here. It's not at all clear

where we are.

Suddenly, the lights flicker back to life. Like a tape

being slowly turned back on, the sound effects of the

room are that of a jungle and helicopters.

The lights come back full on to reveal a fake Jungle

set. There is a constant loop of Robert Duvall from

"Apocolypse Now" screaming "I just love the smell of

Napalm in the morning !"

Explosions begin to be set off randomly in every

direction.

Johnny starts to run and Bruce appears before him in the

fake creek in the center of the room.

Johnny stops dead still. After a moment of sizing each

other up, Johnny pulls out a knife menacingly.

Bruce reveals a knife from his boot. Then he calmly and

slowly approaches Johnny.

JOHNNY:

Time to b*tch slap the boss.

(attempts a stab)

Come on, b*tch.

Bruce just steps up and slices into Johnny's arm.

JOHNNY:

Muther f***er !

INT. CUBICLES OF THE DAMNED, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Zach limps into what appears to be an office in

disarray. He sees the lights flickering on and off. It's

hard to say that this intentional or not.

As he passes a fax machine, it shoots out little white

tubes (just like the old cylinders that fax paper used

to be wrapped on). He trips and falls. His glasses fly

off of his head.

Matthew comes in behind him. So does Saundra.

MATTHEW:

This is fitting. The Offices of the

Damned. This is as good as any place

for you to die, you pond sucking piece

of sh*t.

Zach backs away from the ratty looking pair.

ANNOUNCER:

(V.O. from P.A.)

Uh, Oh ! It's the Boss !

As the voice is heard, Saundra pushes Matthew to the

floor.

From the big dark office behind Zach comes an

animatronic John C. McCay (very realistic looking Ala

Hall of Presidents) on wheels, holding a machine gun.

Zach turns in time to see it as it sprays him full of

bullet holes.

JOHN C. MCCAY

(animatronic pre recorded

voice, with no lips moving)

You're fired ! You're fired ! You're

fired !

The animatronic John C. McCay recedes back into the

office on it's rollers.

Saundra remains on the floor looking at Matthew, who

checks his own body for holes.

MATTHEW:

Are you okay ? Any holes ? I mean aside

from the one's that nature gave you ?

SAUNDRA:

I'm fine.

They both get up and look at the bloody lifeless corpse

of Zach on the floor.

MATTHEW:

Another bad tie...

They both walk out of the room back to the Old West.

INT. VIETNAM JUNGLE, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Bruce has Johnny in a head lock and is choking him to

death.

Johnny gets a hand loose and slams it backwards into

Bruce's gut. Johnny is now loose and hits Bruce in the

head.

JOHNNY:

(still a little raspy voiced

from the choke)

You think I'm that easy, B*tch ?

BRUCE:

(casually)

For once in your life, shut the f***

up.
