FLASHBACK (teaser)

EXT. GALAXY MOTEL - EARLY MORNING
On the hardscrabble desert landscape Galaxy Inn, a shanty one level motel in need of repair, sits in the still dry air. Lights on the Motel sign flicker as a car whisks by breaking the silence.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
(gruffly whispering)I can barely remember a time when I wasn't traveling. Feels awkward using the word “travel...” that means you have to arrive... Most people travel to get away but, eventually they arrive at a place of some sort. A destination infused with sentiment.
(clearing throat...)
Any other hundred places have something missing. They’re just not home.
A cab pulls up to room 44.
INT. GALAXY MOTEL ROOM 44 - 5 AM
The digital alarm clock sounds off with an annoying Beep.
The clock says four AM. BILL, an older man, gets out of a shower and leans into the mirror and inspects his face.

NARRATOR (V.O.)
I’ve been gone so long I can’t remember what home looks like...It’s hard to ponder the past when, every time you look in the mirror you’re living someone else’s past.
With a vacant expression on his face BILL, an overweight man missing his pointer, middle and ring finger, buttons up a shirt and grabs the jacket off a chair by the door.
He opens the front door slowly then looks back at the room combing it over.
EXT. GALAXY MOTEL ROOM 44 - DUSK
The door opens and BILL gazes out at the road. He hears a whistle.
CAB DRIVER
Hey... buddy.
The cab driver is right in front of BILL.
He waves at BILL trying to get his attention. Bill walks up to the cab and the driver’s head leans out the window.
CAB DRIVER
I already got your luggage... it’s in the trunk.
BILL
What?
CAB DRIVER
(louder)
Your luggage...
I loaded it for you already.
BILL looks out on the road then back at the driver who is now opening his door.
CAB DRIVER
That case you got is pretty heavy. I could only imagine how fun it would be to carry around without wheels. Here you go sir...
(opening the door)
BILL climbs in the back of the cab.
INT. TAXI CAB - DUSK
The interior of the cab looks cheap but, clean.
BILL
What luggage.
CAB DRIVER
(thrown off)
That big black trunk. I put it in the back.
A pine tree air freshener dangles from the cab’s rear view mirror. Bill looks at a picture of a naked woman stuck to the dash.
CAB DRIVER
She can make any man feel a little better.
BILL
Can you put the cigarette out?
Bill turns to peer out the cab window. The driver lights up a cigarette.
CAB DRIVER
Seems you had one hell of a night. Of course it is early as hell.
The cab driver’s radio scratches out a muffled voice and he picks up the CB radio.
CB RADIO
(muffled)
Car thirty four. Distance and local.
CAB DRIVER
I got him. We are on our way.
BILL
Where are we going?
CAB DRIVER
(laughing)
To the airport. Jesus... you seem out of it this morning.
The cab driver looks back at Bill through the rearview mirror. Bill stares out onto the road.
Bill shakes his head and the cab driver takes a swig.
BILL
Let me ask you something.
CAB DRIVER
Shoot.
BILL
Why the airport?
The cab driver laughs.
CAB DRIVER
It’s your flight.
The driver lights up a cigarette.
BILL
What airport?
CAB DRIVER
The only one in the fucking desert. Look around you kid.
BILL
What’s my name?
CAB DRIVER
What kind of question is that?
BILL
Stop the cab.
The cab driver pulls over to the side of the road.
BILL
I asked a simple question... Now you said I called ahead. Well, what name did I give you... Can you answer the question or not?
CAB DRIVER
BILL! I don’t know your last name you never give it.
BILL
(upset)
Then how do you know me?
CAB DRIVER
Every morning for the past month I’ve been taking you to the airport.
The cab driver pauses.
CAB DRIVER
Now where you go from there I don’t know but, you usually tip me pretty well. That’s what I remember the most. You want to go to the airport or not?
The cab pulls back onto the highway.
EXT. AIRPORT - MORNING
The cab approaches a small airport as a plane touches down on a lit runway. The sky is dark and thunder cracks as rain begins to pour.
INT. CAB - MORNING
CAB DRIVER
We’re here.
The cab driver looks at his watch then in the rearview mirror.
CAB DRIVER
Right on time. That’ll be twenty two fifty.
Bill reaches into his jacket and pulls out a ticket and wad of one hundred dollar bills. He opens the ticket. The ticket reads one way. The departure time is 6 AM and the destination is blank.
CAB DRIVER
Hey, you awake?
The cab driver looks back at Bill snaps his fingers and waits for a response.
BILL
Yeah. Keep the change.
Without looking up from the ticket Bill hands the cab driver the cash and steps out of the door.
CAB DRIVER
Thanks! See you tomorrow.
Bill looks at the steps of a small passenger plane. The tires peel out and he turns back to watch the cab drive away.
INT. PLANE - DAY
Bill sits on the plane beside a man dressed exactly the same as him. The man beside Bill face is hidden behind a newspaper. No one else is on the plane.
MAN ON PLANE (V.0)
We are almost two miles from the base.
Bill stares at the man beside him on the plane. Bill looks around him groggy and attempting to keep his head up.
BILL
I feel like I have been here before.
MAN ON PLANE (V.O.)
Both of us have. We are flying somewhere over the Nevada desert.
Bill looks out the window squinting his eyes. The man beside him pulls his paper down exposing a scared face. He then communicates to Bill through telepathy.
MAN ON PLANE (V.O.)
(without opening his mouth)
Let me guess you don’t remember how you got here but, their is something very familiar about everything you are experiencing.
BILL
I can read your mind.
The man pulls up the news paper hiding his face.
MAN ON PLANE (V.O.)
Right now it is like you are experiencing a strange sense of de ja vu because your mind is going over it’s own footsteps.
The man beside him folds the paper up and closes his eyes as he lean back his head back.
BILL
I...
MAN ON PLANE
(interrupting Bill)
Wait. Here it is. Three. Two. One.
The water in Bill’s cup ripples then spills slightly as the plane encounters turbulence.
BILL
I’m impressed. Now tell me where I’m going.
MAN ON PLANE
You know.
BILL
(loudly)
I don’t remember anything! Not even my name! I don’t why I’m here and what I’m doing!
Bill looks frustrated.
MAN ON PLANE
Your doing what you always do Kernel.
BILL
Your freezing.
MAN ON PLANE
I’m just humanoid, a hybrid.
BILL
Is that so?
MAN ON PLANE
You just returned from an abduction.
Bill and the Man on the Plane look at each other with direct eye contact and said at the same time.
MAN ON PLANE
Just another day at the office for you. Next stop Groom Lake.
BILL
I better get some better answers out you.
MAN ON PLANE
All your questions will be answered when they arrive.
Bill stares out the plane window as it cuts through clouds over the desert. Prairie dogs look up then dip back inside as the plane roars over head.
BILL
Who’s they?
MAN ON PLANE
The men in black.
Bill leans his head back and closes his eyes.
BILL
(whispering)
Men in black.
The plane touches down at a desolate airport in the middle of the desert. A few military personnel wearing black suits wait for Bill at the bottom of the steps leading up to the plane. Bill looks down at the man as he extends his hand to shake Bill’s.
MAN IN BLACK
Enjoy your flight Kernal?
BILL
A little bumpy.
Bill looks back up at the plane open door as if waiting for something.
BILL
I got a couple of questions that need to be answered.
MAN IN BLACK
Of course. Hop in and we’ll talk.
Doors to a black hummer open and the man in black ushers Bill in.
INT. HUMMER - DAY
The doors to the hummer shut and Bill sits in the back surrounded by mysterious men wearing all black suits and sunglasses.
MAN IN BLACK
You’ll need to wear this it was your request sir.
The man in black hands Bill a blind fold and he reluctantly looks around and takes the blind fold.
BILL
Wait just a minute. What’s going on. Somebody better start talking. Who am I and why am I here?
A man in black hands Bill a wallet and Bill opens it then slowly pulls out a I.D. Card with his picture on it.
MAN IN BLACK
You knew too much sir. It was your request that we erase your memory. You wanted to leave the organization to live a normal life.
BILL
Who’s smart idea was it to pick me up.
MAN IN BLACK
Yours.
The man in black hands Bill a small monitor.
MAN IN BLACK
Press play.
As the Hummer takes off a cloud of dust follows it. The Hummer passes through a number of fenced in areas marked high security. Bill leans back in the seat blind folded.
BILL
(on the monitor)
For your safety put your seat belt and open your mind. I’m you from the future and if you listen to me we will live fifteen more years but first put on your blind fold.
Bill looks down at the monitor in his hands.
MAN IN BLACK
We are almost there Kernal.
Bill sits with the blind fold on motionless as the hummer travels down what is now a dirt road. The man in black smacks Bill on the back of the head and smiles.
MAN IN BLACK
Sorry Kernel we are in a war.
INT. DEEP UNDERGROUND MILITARY BASE - TIME UNKOWN
Bill wakes up in a white room with an elevator at the end of it. He looks up at a television in the to corner of the room. It flickers on and a man on TV looks down at Bill.
MAN ON TV
Reach into your pocket and pull out what’s in it.
He looks down takes a wallet out of his pocket.
MAN ON TV
Open it and use the card to open the elevator doors.
Bill uses the wall to stand up and rubs the back of his head.
BILL
I want to know what’s going on. Where is my family? You guys are tearing my mind up. I’m having amnesia. I know I have a family!
MAN ON TV
Your answers are waiting for you on the elevator.
Bill takes the card from his wallet and swipes it vigorously through a small scanner by the elevator.
MAN ON TV
Put your back against the wall and buckle your safety belt.
The door opens and a hallway leads to an elevator. The man on the plane is now behind the open doors of the elevator.
MAN ON THE ELEVATOR
Going down.
BILL
Funny I should see you here.
MAN ON THE ELEVATOR
Anything ringing a bell yet.
The elevator dings and the doors closes leaving Bill standing beside the same man beside him on the plane.
MAN ON THE ELEVATOR
How about a stick of gum? It will help your nausea.
Bill takes a piece of gum from the Man’s hand and opens the gold wrapper surrounding it. He then folds the gum onto his tongue and begins to chew.
MAN ON THE ELEVATOR
What do you think?
BILL
Cinnamon.
MAN ON THE ELEVATOR
That’s about the only kind I chew.
BILL
It’s time for an explanation.
MAN ON THE ELEVATOR
That and so much more. It’s funny how all the ingredients are never listed on the package.
The man on the elevator folds open the package and starts to read what is in the gum to Bill.
MAN ON THE ELEVATOR
It’s quite a little drug cocktail.
BILL
Why did you do give this to me?
MAN ON THE ELEVATOR
To help you recollect.
Bill begins to have a flash of visions. His pupils widen as he starts to perspire.

MAN ON THE ELEVATOR
You have a gift. A unique quality that has to be exploited. Consider yourself in autopilot now my friend.
A television flashes on in the top part of the elevator.
MAN ON THE ELEVATOR
Do you ever remember listening to the news and reading along with the tela-prompter. You have been a puppet to the state your entire life.
The man beside Bill on the elevator appears on TV and beside him simultaneously begin to speak.
MAN ON TV
Billy Treasures AKA Kernal Bill asset to the Federal Reserve and since your creation in a test tube on a Los Alamos military Base in twenty seven years ago.
Sadan stares Bill straight in the eyes.
SADAN
You are about to enter a psychotic drug induced flashback. My job is to guide you through those suppressed memories.
BILL
Remember what?
SADAN
Everything. Who you are what your doing here.
The elevator picks up speed and the two are pressed against the wall.
BILL
This isn’t an elevator.
SADAN
It is a jump room. It will take you anywhere you want to go, just not in your dimension.
BILL
What?
SADAN
Imagine a world where time travel is possible. A world were tragedies like nine eleven were avoided but, Y2K wasn't.
BILL
Where does this thing get off at?
SADAN
Somewhere on my time line.
BILL
I want to get off.
SADAN
The trip is just beginning.
INT. ELEVATOR IN DEEP UNDERGROUND MILITARY BASE - 2AM
Bill is in a trance as the television replays the horrific event of his childhood. He snaps out of the trance screams and throws up.
SADAN
Relax your on a high from the drugs in that gum.
BILL
What’s happening?
SADAN
Your being flooded with memories.
BILL
It’s making sick!
SADAN
Lean your head back.
BILL
Why are you doing this to me?
SADAN
It’s the only way you can form the host’s memories.
BILL
Host?
SADAN
You are not who you perceive you are.
BILL
Then who the hell am I?
Sadan turns to Bill.
SADAN
You my friend are a time traveler’s guinea pig. Property of the New World Order.
Bill begins to smile.
BILL
How do know everything?
SADAN
I’m you your mind forming a navigator system for you voyages.
BILL
(amused)
Nice joke!
Bill’s pupils widen and he stares at Sadan’s eye as it glows red.
SADAN
In some worlds we don’t speak. It’s not necessary.
BILL
Your not human.
SADAN
Your right.
Bill looks through cracks of the elevator he is on and light flashes by in different rhythmic patterns.
SADAN
Relax and watch the lights.
Sadan begins to disappear then reappear. As he flashes around the room Bill turns his head to keep up with Sadan as appears in different places on the elevator.
SADAN
We are almost there.
BILL
Where?!
SADAN
Another deminsion.
Bill’s head slowly starts to move slower. The TV blinks on and a montage of images play as if to catch someone up to speed on time.
MAN ON TV
In 1982 scientists working with Grey’s recreated a minute black hole. Men were sucked into a parallel universe and never seen again. Shortly after the project was moved to a disclosed location were by an elite few known as the Replicas were to over see it’s operations.
MAN ON TV (V.O.)
Developed and trained since birth to be an enforcer of New World Order. A government entity, he was subject to numerous tests. Men from the New World Order were sent to destroy you as a boy so that your destiny would not be fulfilled.
Bill looks around in the elevator and their are no buttons to push. He closes his eyes as the elevator doors close.
INT. DEEP UNDERGROUND MILITARY BASE - DAY
There is DING and the elevator stops. The doors slide open and Bill walks out alone. Sadan is standing beside a metallic chair that is connected through wires to a large black trunk.
SADAN
Go ahead. Sit in it. A fiber optic network far superior to any computer you have ever seen. In that trunk is a power source that is able to disconnect molecules at an atomic level.
Bill sits in the chairs and raises up. The spot then folds back in place and returns to it’s normal shape.
SADAN
Just an ordinary chair but, that trunk can create a black hole.
Sadan points down at the trunk beside the chair.
BILL
It’s that simple.
Bill stares down at the black trunk.
SADAN
Yes and it works.
BILL
Where is the remote?
Sadan taps Bill on the head. Bill walks up to the trunk that has wires branching from it to the chair.
SADAN
The human brain has the ability to control gravity merely by a thought. You use memories to curve space and time.
KERNAL BILL
Where did you find it.
SADAN
You helped me make it.
Bill runs his fingers across the trunk.
BILL
This is the fourth model.
Sadan watches the Kernal observe the chair. He runs his finger along the back of it.
SADAN
Over sixty years of studying this technology and now we are able to fly it.
BILL
Fly it?
The kernel stands amazed at what is right in front of him.
SADAN
Your the pilot.
Sadan places his hand on the Bill’s shoulder.
SADAN
We will need to power up as soon as possible.
Sadan hands Bill a picture.
SADAN
Study an iconic image long enough to memorize it you can go back to.
I suggest you don’t think of any dinosaurs.
SADAN
If you can look at a picture of the Sears tower right after it was erected you can go there.
Long pause as Bill starts to talks to himself.
BILL
You’re saying that if I think about France in the 1920’s I can go there.
SADAN
Yeah but, you better get you facts straight. If you don’t know who the president of France was in the 1920’s it makes a world of difference.
Sadan hands Bill a picture of a young woman.

So take a good look at that picture and remember as much as you can about her.
BILL
I know her. Heather.
SADAN
That’s your wife.
Sadan hands Bill another picture. Bill studies the picture of a New York landscape. His wife, Heather, stands in front of the twin towers. The date under the picture reads 1991.
BILL
New York? Why New York?
Sadan hands Bill another picture of an early 90’s model desktop computer.
SADAN
That’s were your wife is. It’s time to rock and roll. Get comfortable.
Sadan hands Bill a glove attached to several wires. He then places a cap on Bill’s head. The cap has wires running from it to the trunk beside the chair.
SADAN
We’re running full power.
SADAN places a hat on that is the same as Bill’s. The connections are the same and each wire attached to Bill’s face SADAN matches on his.
Lights emanate from the trunk as powerful fans hum.
SADAN
Julie. Does that name ring any bells?
BILL
I see my mother. I can remember my mother.
Sadan flips a lever on the trunk and Bill grips the arms on the chair as his face tenses up.
SADAN
Let’s do this thing.
EXT. HOUSE ON THE HILL - DAY
Creepy organ music plays as a house standing in the fog of a morning gets closer and closer. The music stops. There is a loud PECKING of a bird looking for food. The sound of it banging on the wood suddenly stops.
INT. HOUSE ON THE HILL - DAY
A boy sits on his bed. He is hunched over and typing away on a lap top.
Suddenly Bill and SADAN crawl out from under Bill’s bed and the boy jumps back against his wall.
BILL
This is my childhood bed.
SADAN
That is not you as a boy. He is just another you from another world.
BILL
Stop fucking with me! What the hell just happened?
SADAN
You traveled through time inter-demisionally. Now your in another world.
BILL
Hey kid my name is Bill.
The kid pushes his glasses up his nose closer to his eyes.
Bill extends his hand to shake the boys’. The poor kid is flabbergasted at the what just crawled out from under his bed. The kid stares at SADAN.
SADAN’s eyes glow red and the kid’s eyes widen with surprise. Bill turns toward SADAN
BILL
Easy don’t scare the boy.
Bill extends his hand towards Billy’s and they shake.
BILLY
(scared)
Billy my name is Billy.
The typing stops and Billy, a fifteen year old wearing red white and blue, looks at the shut door in front of him.
A loud scream RINGS out.
SADAN
Don’t worry boy everything is ok.
The child of about seven looks terrified.
SCREAMING MOTHER
Billy Run!
Her screams are muffled. CRACK a gun is fired. The sound of the Gun man’s shoes pound as he makes his way upstairs. Sadan appears standing Beside a young Bill.
BILLY (V.O.)
I’m scared.
Sadan without opening his mouth.
SADAN
Don’t be.. Take the pillows and stuff them under the sheets.
GUNMAN
Were are you Billy. I promise it’s not going to hurt.
SADAN
Good job. Now The knife beside you open it.
Billy looks to the night stand beside him then hands Bill the knife.
A man downstairs begins singing.
INT. HOUSE DOWNSTAIRS - DAY
A gunman climbs on top of a woman as he holds his hand over her mouth.
GUNMAN
Well the wheels on the bus go round and round. Round and round...! Oh oh, oh.
In sequence of the echoed man’s voice with a fluid motion and one solid CLACK a large deer skinning pocket knife opens. The gunman twists his head around grinning with greenish brown teeth.
GUNMAN
Where are you?
SADAN
Tell him your in here and go stand by the door.
The gun man’s head turns to look around the corner of an empty room then looks straight at Billy’s closed door.
BILLY
I’m in here don’t hurt me.
Billy stuffs his pillows under the covers on his bed.
GUNMAN
I promise I won’t hurt you.
Billy runs to the sliding door in front of him and kneels beside it. Bill walks up to the door with him holding the knife tight in his hand. The door begins to slide open.
GUNMAN
I’m not going to hurt you.
The Gunman slides open the door and points his gun at the lumps of pillows under the bed sheet.
GUNMAN
I’m just going to murder you.
SADAN
When I tell you to do exactly what I say. Now grab his sleeve and run the blade across his arm and into his neck.
Bill grabs the man’s jacket sleeve as he aims at the bed. The man looks at Bill terrified.
Bill slices the knife up and across the man’s wrist plunging it into his neck.
GUNMAN
Fuhh...
Billy screams as Bill uses the knife. A gunman downstairs shouts up.
GUNMAN2
Let me have some fun!
SADAN
(Furiously)
Do it again and again.
Bill repeats the motion cutting the man two more times. The gun is dropped.
GUNMAN
Uhh.
Blood pours from the man’s neck as he attempts to crawl and hold his neck closed. Billy grabs the gun off the floor and fires twice at the gunman’s head. BANG! BANG! Sadan places his hand on Billy’s shoulder.
BILL
I know you won’t.
SADAN
Now kill the other one.
GUNMAN2
I told you not to do him till I got up there.
A gruff voice calls out from below. Billy walks to the stairs and at the bottom is a man covered in bloody white scrubs. Billy points the gun at the man and pulls the trigger.
SADAN
Good. Now in my world you died but I guess we all deserve a second chance even you.
SADAN
Some times the time machine is broken.
BILL
Well thank you for mentioning that. Now am I supposed to just be stuck here.
SADAN
Most of the time it doesn't take me that long to figure it out.
Sadan fools around with the cord and makes a giant POP of electricity come out of the wires tip.
SADAN
Well we need another power source.
Sadan picks up one side of the trunk and looks over at Bill.
The man is looking back at Bill and tries not to mention. The fact that the wire to the time machine has been cut. Bill looks back at the man in the chair and Sadan pulls up the wire.
Sadan helps Bill drag the trunk out to the truck were a third man is sitting in the trunk smoking and jamming out to Spanish guitar song.
He lights his cigarette and pulls the lighters lid down ass he raises his bald head. He makes eye contact with Bill.
BILL
Take the kid in the house and keep him quite.
Bill watches the gun man look up from his lit cigarette with smoke filing the car the Third gunman grits his teeth down on the cigarette.
GUNMAN 3
What the hell?
The gun man pulls out pistol and starts firing at Bill. Bill runs back behind the house were the gun is sitting on the kitchen counter and Sadan tosses him a gun.
Bill walks out the kitchen door holding his gun up.
GUNMAN 3
Well it looks like we got a little cowboy in us. A little John Wayne.
Bill
Haha... You think your a bad man.
Bill steps around the side of the house and a tall cowboy with John Wayne features looks down at Bill.
BILL
I guess you are going to breathe over my brave mothers last breath and get away with it.
Bill points the gun at the tall cowboy and pulls the trigger. The trigger CLICKS back and hammers down creating nothing but a SNAP.

GUNMAN 3
(shouting head in the air)
If this is my last wish we’d get gone together is the back of some truck going a hundred miles an hour too Mexico but somehow I don’t think your going to let it be that way.
The cowboy pulls out his pistol and shoots Bill right in the head. POP~! The gun man walks back in the house and past Bill’s mother who is still were the other men left her.
He walks up the stairs to his Son’s room. In the room is a boy sitting beside a black box with SADAN’s head sticking out from under the bead.
GUNMAN 3
Get up boy. I’m not going to hurt you. Your daddy tried to kill me so I had to put him down.
SADAN
Hello Bill.
SADAN steps out from the closet and looks directly at the cowboy.
GUNMAN 3
Are you armed?
SADAN lifts up his arms in the air.
SADAN
No, I am unarmed.
Bill Treasures Senior points his gun at Sadan.
BILL TREASURES SENIOR
Who the fuck are you and how the hell do you know my name.
SADAN
The man you killed outside was just yourself but, from a different time line in another world.
BILL TREASURES SENIOR
Funny cuz, I don’t remember him looking a whole hell of a lot like me.
Sadan’s skin has a greenish tint under the closet light.
BILL TREASURES SENIOR
What’s your fucking story guy who the hell are you.
SADAN
I am the owner of that.
Sadan points at the floor beside the bed at a black trunk.
BILL TREASURES SENIOR
What is that?
SADAN
It’s a time machine. The power supply has been cut or I would show you how to use it.
Bill Treasures Senior walks up to the trunk and places his hands on the trunk. The trunk glows blue in different sections then once in the middle. He is fascinated with it.
SADAN
Trust me it works.
BILL TREASURES SENIOR
What kind of power does it run on?
SADAN
Electrical currents. Strong ones.
BILL TREASURES SENIOR
I got some jumper cables in the back of the truck.
SADAN
Stronger than that.
BILL TREASURES SENIOR
I know were a power line is.
He points up.
BILL TREASURES SENIOR
Running to this house.
EXT. HOUSE ON THE HILL - DAY
The screen is black and the sound of a chainsaw cutting through wood echoes.
A tall wooden post holding up a power line falls.
Sadan stands in the house beside the boy looking through the house’s kitchen window.
Bill Treasures Senior uses jumper cables to connect the black trunk to downed power line.
SADAN
That’s what happens when you travel through time Billy do you see that.
SADAN’s evil glare just stares down little Billy. SADAN opens the door and walks outside with Billy.
BILLY
He’s dead right.
Billy and SADAN drag the trunk back to the cowboys the truck parked in the outside driveway. They leave the sizzling body body laying beside the power wire.
EXT. HOUSE DRIVEWAY - DAY
Sadan hooks up the trunk in the truck bed connecting it with a wire to the battery in the front.
SADAN
Hop in little Billy and we will go for a ride. The door to the truck swings open and Billy climbs in the cab.
Sadan looks down at the floor board to the truck and picks up a Breathalyzer. He hands it to Billy.
SADAN
Here breathe into this.
Billy breathes and the Breathalyzer beeps. Sadan cranks the truck. Sadan gets out of the truck and walks back to the truck bed and from the cab Billy can see the trunk start to light up blue. Sadan takes out two shower caps from the trunk and begins to place one on Billy’s newly shaved head.
SADAN
We are almost all powered up. Put you seat belt on kid.
BILLY
I’m nervous.
SADAN
Don’t be. It will only last a second.
Sadan places the wire cap on his head then corrects the rear view mirror so that he can see the trunk as it starts to flash blue.
SADAN revs the engine and looks over at Billy.
SADAN
I want you to remember what you looked like in the future. The man that came out from under your bed.
Billy closes his eyes.
SADAN
Remember his face.
Sadan reaches forward and turns on the trucks radio then begins to tune the radio’s frequency. He leaves it on Frank Sintra's song “New York New York.”
FADE OUT:
POV OF A CAR WINDSHIELD - DAY
The song continues to play as the truck speeds by a Japanese couple taking pictures of a New York sky line.
A horn honks from behind the truck.
SADAN
Welcome to New York kid.
Sadan turns to look at Billy and he looks human as opposed to his previous appearance. A line of four cop cars speed down the bridge going the opposite direction.
SADAN
You know there are just too many cops in this New York. The New york I’m from there is much more sin in the city.
BILLY
Where are we going?
SADAN
Trust me kid I know what we are doing. I’m going to get you back to your mom and Dad but, first we need to do a little errand.
EXT. IBM BUILDING NEW YORK CITY - DAY
SADAN takes off his seat belt and opens the truck door.
SADAN
I will be back in a minute.
Billy watches SADAN step out of the truck and walk up to the tall Manhattan building.
INT. IBM BUILDING NEW YORK CITY
He goes through the revolving doors and up to the elevator in the building. DING! The elevator doors open and SADAN comes face to face with Bill and himself.
SADAN
I think you want to get off at the next stop.
The elevator doors shut and Sadan walks out of the building.
Billy watches him approach the truck and the door opens.
SADAN
Alright kid lets get you home.
The truck takes back off leaving the building.
EXT. TREASURES’S HOME - NIGHT
SADAN drags the trunk up the steps to the large Victorian home. He looks at BILLY who is gazing down at the trunk.
SADAN
Press the door bell.
The door bell echoes inside the beautiful home.
INT. TREASURES’S HOME - NIGHT
A young boy sits on the floor watching television. His father gets up and walks to the door.
SADAN
Hello.
Mr. Treasures stands in the door way. A short middle aged man with a robust frame and beard looks at SADAN’s extended hand.
MR. TREASURES
Can I help you?
SADAN
I... want to know if I can talk to you for a minute.
MR. TREASURES
It’s really late.
Mr. Treasures swings the door shut and SADAN catches it with his foot.
MR. TREASURES
Get off my property.
SADAN
When you were ten you made a birdhouse for your mother in cub scouts. When she died two years later you smashed then spent all night trying to fix.
MR. TREASURES
(baffled)
How do you know that.
SADAN
I’m your son...From the future. I know that sounds crazy but if you just let me explain...
Mr. Treasures wrinkles his forehead and looks down at BILLY.
SADAN
(softly)
We haven't eaten in a couple days. The boy could use a hot meal and a shower... I could too.
INT. TREASURES’S - HOME
The little boy on the floor looks up at his dad and the strange man following him.
MR. TREASURES
John go to your room.
A plump woman walks from around the corner to the kitchen.
MRS. TREASURES
Honey who is it?
MR. TREASURES
Will you heat up a meal we’re going to have some guests this evening. Is this your boy?
SADAN
He is my son.
Mr. Treasures turns back to SADAN and BILLY.
MR. TREASURES
You like hamburgers? We have plenty of other food if you don’t want hamburgers. What are you hungry for? You got a name?
SADAN looks at BILLY.
SADAN
Answer the man.
BILLY
Billy.
Tense with awkward silence, Mr. Treasures drags out a chair from the kitchen table.
MR. TREASURES
Were are from son?
BILLY
(unsure)
I can’t remember.
Mr. Treasures looks up at his wife as she places a plate of hot food in front of Billy then hesitantly sets one in front of SADAN.
SADAN
Thank you.
MRS. TREASURES
Well I’m not a chef but I hope you enjoy the taste.
Mrs. Treasures, a tall elegant woman, sits down at the kitchen table beside her husband
MRS. TREASURES
What do you mean you can’t remember.
MR. TREASURES
You don’t remember were your home is.
Billy takes a huge bit of the spegehtii.
SADAN
We have been on the road for a couple of years now.
MR. TREASURES
Did you lose your job?
SADAN
Try to taste your food before you devour it.
She looks at SADAN shocked by his words.
MRS. TREASURES
Don’t worry about that we have seconds and plenty of desert.
SADAN looks at Billy and Mrs. Treasures walks up to were Billy is sitting
SADAN
Your generosity is appreciated
Billy done eating is almost his plate of food.
SADAN
I think he should savor it and enjoy the moment.
MR. TREASURES
Honey will you take the boy upstairs and show him were the shower is.
MRS. TREASURES
Follow me honey.
Mrs. Treasures places her hand on BILLY’s shoulder as he gets up from his chair.

MRS. TREASURES
I will show you your room and were the shower is.
SADAN
(softly)
We’re not from around here.
MR. TREASURES
Well that’s easy to tell. You don’t look like anyone from around here.
SADAN has an evil stare that cuts right through Mr. Treasures.
Mr. TREASURES
Don’t be angry mister. I’m just curious about who you are. I apologize.
Mr. Treasures stands frightened and speeches. SADAN stands up from the table. Mr. Treasures follows SADAN’s motions with his eyes.
SADAN
Would you like a smoke.
MR. TREASURES
No but I’ll show you the back door.
SADAN walks outside following Mr. Treasures.
SADAN
(dangerously)
I want to tell you about a man that gets driven out of town. You tell me if the story is too aggressive.
SADAN and Mr. Treasures lock eyes.
SADAN
There is a man I once knew that jogged every day. He was a good guy. You ever heard the expression only the good die young... It’s true.

The passenger smiles and his teeth are rotted out by the gum.
DRIVER
We will take the castle first then worry about great, great grandpa.
PASSANGER
What if he sees us and calls the cops.
DRIVER
I was there last night. Walked around to the two back door and looked under the mat and there it was.
The driver takes his eyes off the road and looks over at the man in the passenger seat.
DRIVER
All of’em were deep asleep.
PASSANGER
Well it only takes one phone call and 45 grand turns into 45 years in the slam.
DRIVER
You think I haven't thought of everything. The phone line runs in to an above the ground box to your left.
The car slows down to a stop. The driver gets out and opens the box with a large pocket knife. He takes the tip of the knife and uses it to pull out a blue wire.

The lanky old man walks into his bathroom and takes off his shirt throwing it in a basket inside his closet. In the corner of the closet beside the dirty clothes stands two shotguns.

The driver glances around the restaurant.

He caught me prowling the place one night. If he was going to go to the cops it would have happened already.

The passenger just backs away from the table.

PASSANGER
What do you know? I’m fucking out and that’s it.
DRIVER
No your not.
The passenger just stares at him.
