Scene: Future
The World's Most Famous Detective was flying into Negril in his big silver (vintage looking) float plane.
He was listening to Jamaica Mistaka by Jimmy Buffett
He was following up on a lead …
SCENE:
White painted House, Beautiful Estate
Inside:
At a table.
Detective is across from an old man.
Old man lights both of their cigars.
Old Man (in a very somber tone and with stress): Are you sure you want to do this?
Detective: Yes.
Old Man:
”When I open the safe, you have 60 seconds to be out of here.”
He got up, turned around and began to walk towards the wall behind him.
Detective (speaking into watch): Start Plane.
Old Man (speaking to the wall): Open
The safe (A square light shone behind the wall).
Safe: Open Says Who?
Old Man: Open Says Me.
Safe: “Open Says A Who?”
Old Man (stern and a little faster): Open Says A Me!
Safe Opens.
Old Man reaches in and pulls out a small envelope.
Ole man begins walking back,
Detective, slides back seat and stands,
Old man, opens the top of the envelope on his walk back.
He holds it out and shows the detective the first page.
The detective looks; his eyes get bigger. He reaches out and takes the envelope.
Detective: Thank You!
Scene:
Outside, the detective is leaving the house, with a little shimmy (with somewhat of a smooth coolness to it), but not a fast rush, down the steps…
…walking along the dock (somewhat casual considering the circumstances, but not slow) to the big silver float plane waiting from him - engines fired up!
Satellites in space are moving in …
Men are moving in …
Float Plane gaining speed, cruising along the water …
Men closing in towards house …
Plane rising off the water, pulling up into the air …
House Exploding Behind!
His eyes got bigger as he flipped through the several pages in the envelope …
Flying out (being pursued closely) he had a focused grin, was smoking the last 4 inches of a big cigar …
And was flying low, cutting tight … listening to …
Singing the line: “I love my aeroplane cause: she’s got style …”
Though he was smuggling out the secret leads to the crack to the space mystery;
and he flew low; he didn’t need to; he cut and bobbed, waved, and blew the mesques, not because he had to; but because he thought how back in the day, it would be cool to run a plane like this; as his pursuers, really were tight behind him …
… what they didn’t know, was this was not a normal float plane; this was a Special Ops Vehicle
…he pressed the button the old school, equipment flipped, and the highest state of the art, and beyond, flipped open and onto the screen in front of him
… he continued to enjoy the chase out
… then he pressed the button
“Next Stop … Space Station 3”
The float plane changed form … and took to space …
“That boy was a lone survivor.” … as he shook his head thinking about how the kid had outwitted his opponents … and lead to what appeared to him to be the answer to the ancient mystery and crack to one of the most infamous outer space cases and mysteries of their time.
