Bruce is now wearing his normal black attire and a dark,

thin trench coat.

BRUCE:

No matter how many times I wear one of

those f***ing uniforms, I'll never get

used to it.

Johnny looks at his boss in a devious way. Johnny preps

a syringe behind his back without looking.

BRUCE:

That about does it. I'll take them

down.

Bruce is leaning down over Saundra, checking her face.

Johnny leans in and injects Bruce with a syringe in the

back of his neck.

JOHNNY:

Nighty night, boss.

FADE TO BLACK:

INT. CONTROL ROOM, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Johnny is turning on all the monitors and turning

various knobs and controls.

Zach is typing into his laptop.

Johnny sits down in Bruce's chair.

JOHNNY:

So who are these people with the Boss ?

ZACH:

Just a temp who pissed me off and a

girl who turned me down for the night

of her life.

JOHNNY:

Aren't you the bitter one.

INT. MAIN STREET, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

The bright as day lights are fading in.

Bruce starts to stir on the ground. He starts to get on

his knee.

INT. CONTROL ROOM, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Johnny has his back turned to the monitors, checking on

a few system checks. Zach is there, observing.

ZACH:

(seeing Bruce trying to

stand)

How long till the drug wears off ?

JOHNNY:

We should have another fifteen minutes

at least.

ZACH:

Bruce has just awaken.

JOHNNY:

What ?????

Johnny turns around in a panic.

INT. MAIN STREET, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Bruce is struggling to stand. His hand is on his head.

Beside him is Matthew and Saundra.

Saundra begins to stir as the sound system booms a

voice.

ANNOUNCER:

(very loud over the P.A.)

Welcome to Murderland ! Where death is

a fun experience for one and all !

BRUCE:

(to Saundra)

Get up. Get up !

SAUNDRA:

Where are we ?

BRUCE:

No time. Get him up.

Bruce starts to move toward the Movie theater.

INT. CONTROL ROOM, MURDERLAND

Johnny is furiously pressing buttons.

JOHNNY:

Sh*t !

INT. MAIN STREET, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Saundra leans over to Matthew and tries to shake him.

MATTHEW:

Not now, Mom.

SAUNDRA:

Wake up, we're in trouble.

Matthew is groggier than the other two were.

MATTHEW:

Hey... did we uhm, you know....

SAUNDRA:

No ! Just get up. This is serious.

Matthew looks around. He is more than surprised at the

similarities to a certain Theme park in Orlando, FL.

MATTHEW:

How did we get to Disn....

Feedback permeates from the sound system.

JOHNNY:

(V.O. from P.A.)

Try not to fight too hard, boss !!!!

From beside the miniature castle comes Scraps the Dog.

MATTHEW:

Well that's ....

Scraps begins to fire his tommy gun.

Matthew and Saundra get by the hail of bullets to the

door near the Movie Theater. Then the Merry Go Round

begins to fire. They get forced in.

INT. CONTROL ROOM, MURDERLAND

JOHNNY:

I told you this would be easy. Just

like a maestro.

INT. MOVIE THEATER, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Bruce is already inside.

SAUNDRA:

Hey, you ! What the hell is going on ?

MATTHEW:

What the hell kind of cop are you ?

Bruce ignores them.

The B&W movie begins playing.

ANNOUNCER:

the original 82nd street subway station

which was abandoned in 1913, our

engineers were able to construct all

thirty rides in less than......

Bruce runs straight to a seat in the third row. He

reaches underneath and pulls out a 9mm pistol. He checks

the clip, then locks and loads.

INT. CONTROL ROOM, MURDERLAND

Johnny tries to speedily zoom in on Bruce to see what

he's doing.

ZACH:

What is Bruce doing ?

JOHNNY:

I don't know.....

INT. MOVIE THEATER, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Bruce gets up and methodically shoots the two video

camera's in the corners of the room.

Matthew screams, Saundra just plugs her ears.

INT. CONTROL ROOM, MURDERLAND

The monitors for that room go dead.

ZACH:

What was that ?

JOHNNY:

He must have had a gun stashed. God

damn it !
