Spotlight on Location: The Skulls Page #7

---

Sparrow was working for Levritt, Yeah.

...but he was the one|that switched the tape...

...and he didn't help me|when I needed it.

He waited until|I got out of Sanctuary.

All of which means what?

What is Levritt|trying to tell us?

"We live by the rules.|We die by the rules"?

What?

Levritt.

He told me to remind you that we live|by the rules, we die by the rules.

Yes.

Rule 119, right in|the middle of the page.

"A challenge may be presented|and gentlemanly means pursued"?

"Gentlemanly means. "|I don't get it. I do.

Levritt wanted to make sure that I|had only one option available to me.

Gentlemanly means.

What day is it today?|Uh, it's Friday.

The Skulls are gonna be|out on the island tomorrow.

Baby, come on.|Lie down.

Come on.

Come on.

So tomorrow I bring war|to the Skulls.

We are gathered, as we have|done for over 200 years...

...to celebrate the end|of the Revealing Process.

And now that you have shared|all with each other...

we would like to show you exactly|how much you are appreciated.

A toast, to the successful|progression of Skulls.

- Above any other.|- Above any other.

Hear! Hear!

No. No. Please,|Mr. McNamara, please.

You know you're not supposed to be|here, especially the way you're dressed.

Oh, Mr. McNamara.|Come to collect your check.

Under the auspices of Rule 119,|I hereby petition for justice...

...for the satisfaction of differences|between myself and Mr. Caleb Mandrake...

...in the matter of the death|of Will Beckford.

What's Rule 119?

"Of disputes arising between|members of such serious nature...

...that avail themselves|of no other solution... "

"A challenge may be presented|and gentlemanly means pursued. "

- And what does that mean?|- He's challenging you to a duel, Caleb.

A duel?|He must be kidding.

No, sir. I'm not.|Dr. Whitney?

It is...|part of our tradition.

The man's a fugitive. He should|be arrested. Call the authorities.

Our rules supersede theirs.|You of all people know that.

Then I demand the right to take|the place of my son in this duel.

You can't, Chairman.

"To avoid conflicts of interest,|all council members are excluded...

...from precedings pertaining|to their kin's fate. "

It's Rule 119-B,|line 15.

There are two ways|out of this, Lucas.

One is you can withdraw|your challenge.

And the other?

Your dead. Caleb's a crack|shot. You've got no chance.

I guess I won't be coming over|for Thanksgiving, then.

Dad, I have to ask you|this one thing.

Was Will Beckford still alive|when I left the ritual room?

Son, I love you...

...and I've never lied to you.

The answer is no.

Gentlemen,|it's time to begin.

Mr. Mandrake,|you have been challenged...

...therefore the choice|of weapons is yours.

Gentlemen,|take your positions.

Back to back.

Tell them the truth|about what happened to Will.

I'm sorry, Luke.

Don't apologize to me.|Just tell them the truth.

No, I'm sorry for what|I have to do to you.

Cock your pistols.|Prepare to fire.

Ten paces.|On my signal.

One, two...

- What you did to Will Beckford was an accident.|- Three...

- Four,|- This will be murder!

- Five, six,|- Are you ready to murder your friend?

Your soul mate?|seven...

Just tell them the truth and|this ends right now. Eight...

...nine, ten.

Tell them the truth!

- Just tell them the truth, please.|- Fire, Caleb!

Dad!

Fire, damn it!

Just tell them the truth, and we'll|get through this together. I swear.

Aah!

Aah!

Get my bag! Get my bag!

Caleb!|Is there a doctor here?

Stay back! Stay back!|Caleb!

- Just relax, Mr. Mandrake.|- Gauze! We need gauze!

Let 'em in!

You weren't worth the effort.

Litten.

Where is my bag?

Move back!

It's over, Caleb.

It's over.

You told me that there|are always wars to be fought.

This was your war.|Yes.

And the good guys won.|Nobody won.

Not true.|Mandrake's finished.

He'll never be confirmed|to the federal court.

I'll become Skull chairman.|You'll be exonerated...

...and help me lead the new generation|of Skulls into the future.

Someone I loved once told me that if|it's secret and elite, it can't be good.

He was right.

You used me.|No, Luke.

I helped you. Taught you how to|make the world work for you, for us.

Do you truly believe you can walk|away from this? All we've given you?

And someday, when I|call on you for a favor...

will you be able|to deny me?

And if you deny me,|will it jeopardize the...

...life you've built for|your wife and your family?

I don't know if you can|live with those doubts, Lucas.

Watch me.

Well done, son.

Well done.

If I could have|just a moment of you...

Would I be wanting...

More...

If I could have|just a taste of you...

Would I be...

Addicted...

If I could have|just a touch of you...

But I turn myself...

Away...

Oh, baby the rain runs over|and you're scared...

With no consequence...

To be the liquid in a glass that|falls around your lips and mouth...

If I could have|just a breath of you...

Would you, could you...

Infect me...

If I could have|just a view of you...

Would you leave your door...

Ajar...

If I could have|just a part of you...

Oh, let me drink|of your...

Tides...

Oh, baby, the rain runs over|and you're scared...

With no consequence...

To be the liquid in a glass that|falls around your lips and mouth...

And after the silence|think I'm stupid...

But I don't open the door|for someone stupid...

If I could have|just a moment of you...

Would I be wanting...

More...

If I could have|just a taste of you...

Would I be...

Addicted...

If I could have|just a touch of you...

Would I tear myself...

Away...

Oh, baby, the rain runs over|and you're scared...

With no consequence...

To be the liquid in a glass that|falls around your lips and mouth...

And after the silence|think I'm stupid...

But I don't open the door|for somethin'stupid...

If I could have|just a taste of you...

Would I be...

Addicted...
