Blake starts chuckling.
BLAKE
Youre suspended too..
Anders chuckles along with Blake.
DERS
Youre kidding.

while you both went into the

BLAKE
Theres only two chairs in there.

Ders gets up. He turns around and punches the wall, hitting
a thumbtack.
DERS

Ders grabs his hand in pain. He stares at the flyer on the
wall.
DERS
What do we have here?
The flyer reads, "Want to make some easy cash? Learn how to

Airport for Uber Driver Training Orientation. Fridays at

ADAM
Gotta start from the bottom. Drake
taught me that.
Blake approaches the desk and fumbles through all of the
papers. He stumbles upon a yellow post-it note and reads
what is on the note.
BLAKE
6 fashion mistakes you cant afford
to make. Cutting your nails: a
how-to guide. Paying taxes:
Overrated or Nah?
KARL
Ive never seen a suicide note like
this.
BLAKE
Is he trying to tell us something?
ADAM
It sounds like hes trying to write
for Buzzfeed. (chuckles) Did anyone
check the roof yet?
Adam begins walking away.
BLAKE
Stop. We need to figure out his
motive.
ADAM
Someones been watching Law and
Order...
BLAKE
Criminal Intent. Never got into
SVU.
Blake reaches for his small notepad in his back-pocket and
begins jotting notes down.
BLAKE
Ders wants to be a writer.
ADAM
Nice try Goren. These are writing
samples for when he applies to be a
social studies teacher. I can sense
it.
(CONTINUED)

KARL
For high schoolers?
ADAM
4th grade.
BLAKE
Ders isnt a teacher. Hes a writer
and hes going to be a columnist
for Playboy magazine.
KARL
Im pretty sure its just pictures.
BLAKE
Nope! I read the articles, and so
does Ders! That was the first thing
I learned we had in common.
ADAM
The thought of reading when given
that magazine is making my head
hurt. Doesnt matter because,
youre wrong.
BLAKE
What makes you so sure of yourself?
Anyone can be a 4th grade social
studies teacher.
ADAM
How dare you say that. Ms.
Lowenstein was not like anyone else
I know in the entire world.
BLAKE
Karl, is Ders a social studies
teacher, or a writer for playboy?
KARL
He could be both.
Adam and Blake brush off the comment and resume looking for
clues.
BLAKE
Yeah, ok.
KARL
What if hes a 4th grade social
studies teacher during the day, and
writes for playboy in his free
time.

ADAM
That would make for a revolutionary
insight into teacher-student
roleplay.
BLAKE
Karl, thats brilliant.
ADAM
Were off to a good start. Lets
keep looking for clues, boys.
Karl scans the desk and picks up a thin strip of paper. The
strip of paper reading, "Contact Information: 623-972-1403"
blends into a bunch of random symbols as Karl tries to read
it.
KARL
Guys, I think I found something.
Its some kind of code.
Adam grabs the strip from Karl.
ADAM
Oh this is good. We need to call
this number. I bet hes already
tutoring some munchinks.
Blake rips it from Adams hand.
BLAKE
This could be Hugh Hefner.
ADAM
No way, Hefners number wouldnt be
on a thin slit of paper.
BLAKE
Youre right, I bet itd be
engraved inside one of those
designer fleshlights.
KARL
Id kill for one of those.
ADAM
Lets call it.
BLAKE
And give ourselves away? We cant
do that. We need to follow him
step-by-step and then, we catch him
in the act.

ADAM
Hes not a child sex offender.
KARL
No, but how do you think all child
sex offenders start off?
BLAKE
Thats a good point.
ADAM
Damn, Karl. Youre on fire today.
KARL
Thats why Im here.
ADAM
Blakes right. We cant use this
yet.
BLAKE
But where would Ders go?
ADAM
I bet hes at that coffee shop
pretending to read the newspaper
while he just uses his phone.
BLAKE
Why does he do that anyways?
KARL
I think its pretty badass.
Adam stands up and points towards the door.
ADAM
To the coffee shop! I said it once,
and Ill say it again, "we gotta
find that boy."

BLAKE
I dont know guys, what if were

just the teacher thing? What if the
mafia is involved? They would kill
me and take my hair.
Adam turns around to face Blake and reaches out his hand.
ADAM
Ill protect you.
Blake reaches for Adams hand and holds it for a second.
Karl stares blankly ahead at the road as he blows a bubble
with his pink gum.
KARL
Here we go guys.
BLAKE
Whats up? Did we find out where
hes going?
KARL
I just blew a sick bubble. Did you

and quickly passes under them.
ADAM
Looks like were going to the

BLAKE

ADAM
But all of his stuff is still at

Ders car slows down along the outside of the airport and
then comes to a complete stop.
ADAM (CONT)
Hes stopping.
Adam, Blake, and Karl lean in. Ders gets out of his car and
leans against it.
KARL
It doesnt look like hes going
anywhere.
BLAKE
If youre not going anywhere, why
would you go the airport?
ADAM
Is he gonna turn into a taxi
driver?
KARL
His car isnt yellow. Impossible.
ADAM
Hes probably picking up students
at the airport.
KARL
Teachers really go above and beyond
these days.
Medium close-up of Ders leaning against his car and
waving to an old woman as she walks by. The woman walks
away feeling violated. The camera then pans to a large sign
missed by everyone reading "Uber Training Orientation in
Terminal C." Adam, Blake, and Karl remain inside the car
contemplating what to do.

KARL
Zip-ties are in the trunk.
ADAM
Fuck yes!
Ders shakes hands with a MIDDLE AGED MAN wearing a Hawaiian
shirt. Ders opens the backseat door for him and the man gets
into the car.
ADAM
Some old guy just got into the car!
Its probably the students father.
BLAKE
We gotta go! Follow him!

Karl gets out of the van.
