1.1 ERA OF 303: Omega Plan - Agent Buried Alive DRAFT
1.1 ERA OF 303: Omega Plan - Agent Buried Alive DRAFT
A few hours have passed and the captain of the soldiers puts
his hand up for attention.
CAPTAIN
Stop here! Break!
The young soldiers settle down for a break. We see that they
have stopped into a clearing (a crossroads of a slight path
going left and right, in a shape of a Y.)
Some soldiers sit down in groups to have a drink and some
start to put up a small camouflage tent with a laptop inside.
The women leads the boy into the tent to the laptop computer.
On the screen we see a map/grid and a strange, deep,
animistic growling sound was playing on loop in the
background.
The boy stares at the screen and closes his eyes as this
sound is played.
WOMAN
Focus... Remember your training.
She slowly and gently touches his shoulders as the boy begins
to twitch his nose. He sniffs as if trying pick something up.
The woman lets the boy go. With his eyes closed, the boy
begins to walk around as if trying to sense something with
his other senses.
We see all the soldiers stop talking and become more quite.
Some pick up their weapons as they look at the boy.
The boy continues doing this. He then goes on all fours like
an dog and begins to crawl. Sniffing the ground and the air.
A SERIES OF TRANCE-LIKE DUTCH TILTS
-In his head, the freaky sound of the low growl repeats. It
soon begins to become hypnotising.
-As that happens, the focus blurs as the boy begins to lose
balance and physical awareness and orientation.
-CLOSE UP of the boy with the overlapping looping sound of
the growl getting louder and louder.
-A series of unclear and disorientating shots as it fades in
when the boy crashes down on a nearby log. When that happens,
the now unbearable growling sound abruptly stops.
3.
Around the red dot and closing in fast, are 4 green dots
chasing the red one. One green dot is right on the red dot's
tail and the other three are more behind.
In the background we hear the boy's fearful breathing.
CUT TO:
To the cross roads where the other 4 soldiers with their guns
run where the creature had fled.
SOLDIER
GO, MOVE IT, MOVE IT!
CUT TO:
The boy's mind's eye. On the EM grid with the 5 dots,
suddenly a beeping sound rings as a big red dot suddenly
comes into frame.
CUT TO:
The boy gasps and wakes up with eyes filled with alarm. He
turns to the operator.
BOY
He's calling his ship!
With no time to waste, the operator gets onto the radio.
OPERATOR
Code 381! Calling in air support!
Location coordinates!
CUT TO:
The boy's mind's eye extends and the larger red dot comes
beeping towards the smaller one.
FLASH TO:
The boy falls on his knees. Everything is silent expect for
the few gunshots echoing in the background.
Soon after the boy recovers, the ground begins to rumble.
Trees sway and leaves fly like a great wind has picked up.
Suddenly, close to the ground, two gigantic black triangular
shaped air craft, fly over the character's heads. On each of
the points of these crafts, are circular white lights glowing
through the treetops.
6.
They are so loud as they hover above, that when the boy looks
up at them, he slightly grins to cover his overwhelmed state.
His eyes look watery.
The two crafts continue to fly towards where the creature had
went over the trees. The low sounds begin to fade.
Suddenly, there are noise in the background of a fire fight,
explosions and gunfire, missiles and unusual blasting sounds.
As the massive explosions hidden from sight happen, the
ground shakes beneath the characters' feet.
Animals make noises and birds start to fly away from the
sounds.
Suddenly, a bizarre blue beam shoots up and lights up the
sky. A white orb zips inside it and disappears as soon as it
appeared. It was all silent.
As that strange phenomena happened, the battle stopped.
The boy looks back at the woman.
BOY
Did we win?
The lady doesn't look back at him. Her face is full of
concern. She doesn't rely. Only her eyes lock onto him. They
are very cold, harsh and Gothic. Her eyeliner makes her
almost look like a young whorish wicked witch.
Soon, the 3 soldiers return from the brush. They return
silently with faces of disappointment. Some shake their
heads. One is carrying another solider. Ha is groaning in
pain, every once a while thrashing like he is possessed,
making sharp hissing sounds. He is a black kid with long
hair.
The woman's face loosens with despair.
WOMAN
Failed... So, what then? We are all
in danger. All of us!
She turns to the boy.
WOMAN (CONT’D)
(Her voice is very high
and soothing. But it is
very sinister.)
(MORE)
7.
WOMAN (CONT’D)
It's not going to happen until one
of you disposes of him - men, i
very hope you are all in for it
now. A very hard time. An
unbearable time it will be for Dan!
She leaves the boy and walks off with the operator.
The boy looks back with a blank face. One of the soldiers
that projected the shield, puts his hand on his shoulder.
We find that this person is around 13 to 19 years old.
NATE COGGINS
You did well. Kid.
The boy looks up at him. The soldier gives him a friendly
smile and walks off to speak to his comrades.
The boy picks up his basket with his gun inside.
EXTREME CLOSE UP of the gun, we see a symbol or a hieroglyph
of a snake curled up like a baby in a womb. Its a stylised
Tet.
CLOSE UP of the boy's face. He looks perplexed .
EXTREME CLOSE UP as the boy touches the letter with his
finger.
The boy remains. FULL SHOT of him alone in the crossroads
where once something super-normal had happened has now
returned as if nothing had ever happened.
The theme intro music begins to play in the background.

ACT 1
CASBOLT
Oh, this is Carl my body guard.
Carl (40s) wears a formal black suit with dark glasses. He
has a short grey beard and seems emotionless. Broad body and
serious face. Taller than the others and is intimidating.
BEN
Carl.
Ben puts his hand out to shake.
CARL
Commander Benjamin DePaula, I am
very well.
They shake.
BEN
It's a honour to meet you sir.
The group start walking outside.
BEN (CONT’D)
Well James -
CASBOLT
Yeah, DePaula, I've been going
through very painful and a
confusing, you know, phases these
past few years.
BEN
Right... You're hanging in their.
You'll make it out just fine, and I
know this as truth.
CASBOLT
Mh-yeah...
BEN
James, I wonder what are these
groups are using you for? It wasn't
too clear on your reply to Julian's
email. I didn't get to read all.
Just a glimpse. And also, you said
that you are constantly starting to
regain your memories again?
James looks at Carl uneasily and his walking pace gradually
slows.

CASBOLT
(prudent)
That's right. Ben... They use me
for such things, as vessel to
communicate telepathically, to
remote view into this
CUT TO BEN'S BEWILDERED FACE for the rest of Casbolt's
speech.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
dimension and out. Use me as a
living computer and, uh,
CUT BACK TO Casbolt.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
as a drug runner. This is what I
was trained for since childhood.
Awkward silence. It takes a few seconds for Ben to take it
all in. His eyebrows rise as he looks at Casbolt with an
unconvinced face.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
Well, I did warn yah. My testimony
is heavy stuff. We can talk more
about that later.
BEN
Yeah. Well. Of course. Now, okay I
guess we must get going. To
Julian's. The guy's stressed out of
his mind for the last year.
CASBOLT
Cannot cope with rising two
daughters yet?
BEN
Well, he's certainly isn't the
world's best mom.
CASBOLT
Ha, yeah of course not. He clearly
told me in his email, they
"literally came out of the blue."
No memory of ever promising to have
them with his spouse.
BEN
He could just be going mad at that
part.
(MORE)
11.
BEN (CONT’D)
Besides, the stress to raise them
without a mother, well, honestly,
it really killed the guy. You know
what i mean? Well, my wife who is
Irish, lives with my daughter
because of, you know, military
business, takes up all your time. I
haven't seen her in ages. I cannot
EVER imagine myself raising her.
Never bet a million bucks on that
one. Never!
The two laugh.
BEN (CONT’D)
I'll be dead. I mean, these big
guns here
Ben flexes his right arm, showing huge muscles.
BEN (CONT’D)
will loss their purpose. Made for
combat. Well, anyway, Julz got it
hard man. He doesn't even know
where his girls came from. Maybe
someone left them there by
accident?
CASBOLT
Well, what's his last name again?
BEN
Oh, Ramírez-Arellano.
CASBOLT
Yes, I know that name. One of the
42 families selected to raise
special children. Yes, I know
exactly why this has happened to
Julian and why the girls were made
for.
BEN
(confused and shocked)
Wait, made for?
Carl steps in, putting his hand on James' shoulder.
CARL
Public ear is very common here.
Shut it James.
BEN
You mean born.
12.
CASBOLT
Sorry Carl.
CARL
We must get moving boys.
BEN
Right, my car is just parked in the
lot. Just there. Any of you like to
stop by somewhere for a coffee or a
snack before we get to the house?
CASBOLT
We're fine thanks. We had some food
and drink on the plane.
BEN
Done! Lets get moving folks.
As they get in the car and leave, the camera PANS OUT at the
entrance of the airport, that looks like a flying saucer.
JULIAN (CONT’D)
Today, James Casbolt is coming with
uncle Ben, okay. James is coming
too help us. He'll be staying with
us for a few days-
HYLLA
Why? What did-
JULIAN
He will be clarifying things a bit.
He will...
There is a long pause.
REYNA
What?
JULIAN
(sighs)
James Casbolt will be telling us,
the truth, of why you are
different.
Hylla flinches.
HYLLA
But -
JULIAN
Casbolt is here to tell us your
origin and your purpose... Argh,
girls, I am just worried about
you... That the outside world
cannot accept-. Or... no...
He rudely gets up and leaves the girls there. He quickly
walks into his room.
We see large set of many crystals on a table. They are
arranged in a complex pattern and the larger ones are
connected to radio. We glimpse at his military medals, his
weapons (including an old golden sword relic hanging on the
wall in a glass case).
A book shelf with history books, many on Wars. We see a old
dusty book called the Book of Wars Of the Lord, history books
on Greek and Roman history, World Wars, and a KJV Holy Bible
in which the camera focuses on.
We see a huge framed painting of a woman with curly brown
hair in medieval battle armour. She holds a shield with
Medusa's face on it.
16.
HIGH ANGEL SHOT. Julian looks ups at her, memorised until the
door bell rings.
CLOSE UP of the back of Julian's head. He turns his head and
looks nervous. He closes his eyes and mumbles something in
Spanish.
Julian takes the door. Ben greets him first.
BEN
Hola, Juliano!
JULIAN
Hola Benjamin. I see you've
improved your Spanish?
BEN
No mucho. Sup. Came all the way to
see you.
They laugh and hug.
BEN (CONT’D)
So good to see ya all. And Reyna,
Hylla!
Ben opens his arms as Reyna happy runs into them. Hylla just
smiles and stands there awkwardly.
BEN (CONT’D)
Oh, little kiddies! How, are you
all!? Good?
REYNA
(smiling)
Neah.
BEN
Excelente! Woah, Hylla look at you!
Growing too fast!
Ben compares Hylla's height to his and shoots a smile and
hugs her tight.
BEN (CONT’D)
You have to stop growing! You'll
start to make me feel old!
(a short laugh)
Ben hugs Hylla and kisses her on the head.
Cut to Julian as he meets Casbolt and Carl. The commotion of
Ben and the girls is lowered down in the background sounds.
17.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
(Confused)
Where does this door go?
Julian puts his hand out
JULIAN
Oh, yeah, sorry. That door goes
nowhere. Just, you know, was there
when my family moved in.
CASBOLT
(Amused)
Hm. Pointless, then.
Reyna and Hylla exchange sneaky looks.
CARL
No. We can't have you interviewed
here in this living room, James.
Too many terraces.
CASBOLT
Right.
CARL
We can't put ourselves in danger
that easily. We have children here
with very sensitive information.
They'll be watching us now. The
Cabal... Julian-
JULIAN
My room?
CARL
No windows?
JULIAN
(hesitates for a second
and speaks in a higher
awkward tone.)
Oh...I'll lock it. It's for extra
security... Ye-
CARL
Fine. I'll hang in here for a while
then.
Julian showing tense body language as he looks down slightly.
He clenches his fists and slightly bounces on his toes
nervously. Facial expression shows cringe. He whispers cruses
to himself.
19.
CARL (O.C.) (CONT’D)
Make sure the front door is locked
as well please.
Julian nods and listens.
Carl gazes outside.
Hylla looks at her dad as he dose this. She is quite nervous.
She stays quite.
James Casbolt greets Reyna, kneels down and holds her on the
shoulders. He stares in her eyes, at her purple clothes
and...
FLASH TO
JUMP CUT TO A SERIES OF SHOTS.
- DUTCH TILT CLOSE UP A large wild Alsatian dog barking like
crazy.
- The Yorkshire woman with long curly brown hair and pale
skin, demonic raging gaping eyes with eyeliner looking right
at us, holds up a glowing purple ribbon. Barking continues in
back ground.
- A little girl bawls and screams.
- The dog jumps at the camera, showing its mouth of teeth.
CUT TO
James' face gradually contorts with emotion. His head makes
sharp movements and spazzes for a second. He hugs Reyna and
pats her. He exhales with a deep, worn out breath.
CASBOLT
Reyna? Okay - I found you... I
found you... It's going of be
okay...
James slowly lets go and rubs her head. He gets up and
strolls towards Julian's room. Hylla watches Cabsolt as if he
grew a second head.
HYLLA
Little sis, he is weird...
REYNA
(cute smile)
He good.
20.
Hylla drags herself over to her dad's room and Reyna follows
as well.
James touches Julian's shoulder.
CASBOLT
I want you for a minute please.
Julian looks a bit surprised.
JULIAN
James? What is it?
James puts a figure to his mouth.
CASBOLT
(whispering)
Follow me.
James takes Julian to the bathroom and closes the door.
CLOSE UP as James locks it.
JULIAN
Uh. Is there, something wrong?
Commander?
James bows his head and stares at the floor. He hesitates for
a moment.
CASBOLT
(worried)
I want to warn you, Julian. I have
had constant death threats, and
even intelligence people die in
very suspicious circumstances,
hours before arranged meetings with
them...
CASBOLT
Julian, once i'm with them, i'll-
JULIAN
James, you are going to be putting
them at risk!
CASBOLT
Hold on man. Without proper
training, the girls will not be
able to defend themselves. Whether
you like it or not, someday, the
truth will be stumbled upon, and it
shall set them free.
Julian puts his hands on his face in frustration.
JULIAN
FOR GOODNESS SAKE! WHY TELL ME
NOW!? Why didn't you inform me
beforehand in the letter?
CASBOLT
My mission is to get highly
classified information to the
public and exposing the
perpetuating horrors of the ruling
class. I need time to find and save
the 42 and their families! They're
in as much danger as we are now in!
JULIAN
No, this can't be happening...
CASBOLT
You have to stop being
overprotective of your children at
times! Honestly, that's why you're
not good at parenting!
Julian is about to react, but he stops because he realises
this is true.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
Julian, there's no turning back
from this. You know very well
something is perverted, in the
realm of earth. I'm here soldier,
and so are my enemies. I try
desperately to escape my handlers.
They don't tolerate it. I forbid
that any of you suffer because of
me. That's why Carl is here, he is
more experienced than you know.
(MORE)
22.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
And. I have more associates if that
doesn't satisfy you enough.
JULIAN
Okay. I am sorry for reacting like
that. It's just-
Julian exhales forcefully.
JULIAN (CONT’D)
I wish to know these other people
that you mentioned, now that
they're, um, who ever they are, are
coming.
CABSOLT
You are in good hands. Remember
that. This mission I'm on is much
bigger than me and must be made
public. It's in my blood to
complete tasks bigger than I. Do
not fear. I may not get to see all
the 42, but I pray to God that they
don't live a naive life.
There's a knock on the door. Ben's voice.
BEN
Hey, guys, what's taking so long?
What are you two doing?
James gives an eye to Julian and he collects himself.
They open the door.
BEN (CONT’D)
What were you talking about guys?
CASBOLT
Commander, i want you to sign me
and my associates up for your
mission to Afghanistan. Once we're
done here, you'd wish you did.
CASBOLT
O-kay, i'll sit here. And you can
sit-
JULIAN
Yes, please get comfortable. I'll
use my office chair.
He moves his chair in a positions it to face Casbolt from his
(Casbolt's) right.
Ben helps himself and sits on Julian's right, facing
Cabsolt's left.
JULIAN (CONT’D)
REY, REYNA, NO!
He grabs her.
JULIAN (CONT’D)
What did i say?
REYNA
(groans)
You said, no touch keystools...
JULIAN
Yeah, the key stools.
Ben starts laughing.
BEN
(laughs)
Key stools?!
JULIAN
Well, just play with Pip. She wants
your cuddles.
Turns to Ben and James
JULIAN (CONT’D)
You see? At least she gets the
message.
James studies the strange crystal formation. A huge amethyst
geode is in the centre of it. It is surrounded by smaller
crystals in webbed shapes and patterns. He strokes his chin,
concerned.
CASBOLT
Message... N... An oscillator?
Julian's face goes red.
24.
JULIAN
Oh, now. This. Well, just gives
good vibes.
CASBOLT
How'd you build it? Why?
JULIAN
Well, from my parents. They used to
use crystals to heal people. Yeah,
and i like studying geology...
Yep...
His face slightly turns to cringe. We know he is lying. He
looks up at the framed picture of the women warrior above
Casbolt's head.
JULIAN (CONT’D)
Woah... Cabsolt, are you ready to
tell us your story bro? From the
beginning please.
Julian sits back down and listens up. James sits back, and
thinks for a while. Anticipation. He rest his arm on the
couch in a very comfortable and laid back position. His head
normally slants to the right. Remains like this for the
majority of his story. His tone changes to emotionless and
measured for most of the story he tells.
CASBOLT
(clam and causal)
Hitler.
We CUT to a side shot of Casbolt.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
One of Hitler's plans is to preform
an act of creation. To play God.
As Casbolt speaks, we see old footage of Naiz soldiers in
formation in their thousands. Scenes of Hitler and him
delivering his powerful speeches.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
The goal of using artificial
insemination which would result in
the engineering of the gods. It's
basically using an eugenics program
to isolate rare genetic information
and breeding these people with
Aryan genes to bring about the
return of the gods. The pure and
holy white skin, blonde hair and
blue eyes. The Nordic master races.
(MORE)
25.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
Ubers. German for supers. They want
to isolate the supernatural genes
by using Lebensborn, which
basically involved the creation of
chosen babies. Hitler, himself
believed to be Hades' child. The
prince of Hell. He wanted a new
generation of ancient Nephilim and
god-men. He believed by wiping out
the pig races, he will inevitably
give a clearance for the rise of
the "kosher" supermen. Hitler you
see, desired for the resurrection
of old pagan gods, which is part of
their spiritual plan. Nazis were
constantly seeking relics,
spiritual places, with rune stones
and magic to do this. Society
today, has being programmed to
expect this, through Marvel and DC
comics.
But really, these stories you hear
about Captain America, Superman and
Spiderman, are more real than you
think... I've met people that are
zoomorphic in nature...
Show reactions of Julian and Ben.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
Now with the science in our hands,
humanity is now ready to make their
imaginations a living reality. They
imagine the myths of old, and how
true to society they once were. But
what if I told you all these gods
and goddesses, the heroes and men
of renown, were things of forgotten
antiquity?
Julian looks uncomfortable. He knows something. He looks back
up at the warrior women again.
CASBOLT (O.C.) (CONT’D)
What if we all heard at school
about mythology are nothing more
than fact?
Cut to mid-shot of Casbolt.
26.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
They want us to believe in their
mythology about evolution and
millions of years, and think that
the ancient world was primitive and
though the earth was flat. But what
is fact? Something that is, well
real. Right? And myths? All myths
comes from some foundation of
truth. That's a fact? Right? But
basically the question is, where
did the giants and monsters come
from? The purely evil beings that
supposedly represent our flawed
ability to control our emotions?
You see, there have been plenty of
giant mound cover ups in the US for
example. The Smithsonian? These
finds were a common thing back in
the day. But, ugh, you need to wrap
your head around is that myths are
universal and are totally ingrained
in our culture.
So, why do you think there is such
an inexhaustible appetite for
stories about fantasy and "make
believe" - but the truth is, it's
not a fantasy. It's a living
nightmare, and we are about to live
it out.
(pause)
Very soon...
BEN
(perplexed)
Hang on. Wait...
(sighs)
You're really saying that Monsters,
magic and gods are real? It through
this was governmental diplomatic-
CASBOLT
Now this is where my story begins.
Ben gives a blank and shocked face for a second.
BEN DEPAULA
Yep. Okay...
Ben sits back in his chair a bit blown away.
27.
CASBOLT
(emotionless)
I was a MI6 agent that was involved
in black ops and was part of a
genetic-enhancement program, which
sought for humans with prime blood,
to make super spies and super
soldiers. I am neither a good guy
or a bad guy. But I've experienced
both, in some shape of form.
BEN
Man, Julian where did you find this
soldier? He openly admitted he is a
drug runner-
JULIAN
Miles Johnston. Yes. Yes, that's
true... This world doesn't
understand...
BEN
Huh? Uhm, Casbolt? How can I tell
if this is even true?
CASBOLT
(serious)
Speak to Carl, or Miles. They're
more learnt than me. He has the
real documents. Don't believe a
word I say until you do your own
research to test the things I tell
you. You want to seek answers and
hear about my life? I know what i
say is absolute truth and truth is
certainly stranger than fiction. If
you don't believe it. Now. Today.
You will soon...
Ben puts a hand on his forehead, and closes his eyes with a
face of perplexity.
James gives a slight grin. He knows this is a very common
reaction to topics like these.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
(causal)
I've... seen... nonhuman ...
entities in bases over the years. I
saw strange animal, types of
creatures in cages, I am not...
Well, it's obviously a continuation
of Nazi super soldier projects.
(MORE)
28.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
I can tell you now, if you Julian,
or someone in your family has
another child,
Cut to Julian's reaction:
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
there is a good chance they will be
tortured with electro-shock in the
first five minutes of birth.
DISSOLVE TO:
DOCTOR 1
I am terribly sorry sir.
Unfortunately, it's restricted.
PETER
Wanna bet?
DOCTOR 1
We have detected that the baby is
distressed. We need to hook your
child up to life support in order
sustain the child's survival.
PETER
Huh?! Hang on!? You're bloody
saying he's... BUT I'M HIS DAD FOR
FUC-
Peter grabs the Doctor's shoulders.
DOCTOR 4
HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY!
Peter shoves Doctor 1. Doctor 4, looking after Kathleen
breaks it up.
PETER
WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH HIM!? MY
SON!! DON'T KILL HIM!!!
CUT to Kathleen's face as she tries to slow her breathing.
Her eyes are swollen and red. Her lips are shaking
uncontrollably. Her gaze looks to he left towards the door
where doctors had taken James.
Dutch tilt, POV of the door. Slowly dissolves.
CASBOLT (V.O.)
(emotionless)
They shock you at birth for the
most effective control of the mind.
About 5 minutes later, I was
brought back to my mother, and my
roller coaster life began...
DISSOLVE TO:
Left side close up of James Casbolt's face in Julian's room.
CASBOLT
When I ask her about this now, she
gets a kind of glazed look in her
eyes and cannot remember the events
clearly.
32.
HYLLA
What are you even talking about?
It's fake. Fake you know.
Julian turns around fast.
JULIAN
(whispers in anger in
Spanish)
Hylla, this is important.
She gives her dad a muddled expression with her mouth
dropping.
CASBOLT
Well. I am involved, with
connections with US intelligence
community and Um-
Reyna while Casbolt is speaking and smacks his lips, she
begins to rip up paper in frustration and makes silly noises.
CASBOLT (O.C.) (CONT’D)
A lot of these guys are Freemasons.
Rosicrucians.
REYNA
(whining )
PAPA! I WANNA GO! CATS, CATS PAPA!
NOW-
JULIAN
Rey, espere.
REYNA
Urgh...
HYLLA
Papa, why are we even trapped in
here?
JULIAN
Ah, sorry about that. They easily
get bored.
Hylla crosses her arms in anger.
CASBOLT
No need to worry.
BEN
Okay.
34.
CASBOLT
Yeah, so these guys hold secret
records-
BEN
(sceptical)
What's the significance of that?
What's makes this, uh, so important
to what you're talking about now?
CASBOLT
Basically the modern day return of
the Nephilim.
(nods)
Yer...
BEN
Who started this?
CASBOLT
Probably by, well I think
reptilians from the Draconis star
system. Semitic tales call them the
Watchers.
Ben holds a laugh.
BEN
Yer, okay... Okay! Aliens. Now, get
to the story, you're killing us
here man.
They laugh, as if it was all a joke.
CASBOLT
Ah well. Anyways. My first memories
go back to 1976 when i was a baby.
IBIS branched off into Project
Mannequin. There is a Nazi
connection with that.
Julian looks at the women again and sits back up straight.
JULIAN
Cas?
CASBOLT
Yeah?
JULIAN
Building from DePaula's question,
what was it like in Project IBIS?
What training did you do?
35.
CASBOLT
Ah. So they tracked people with
this blood type and brought the new
born babies, me included, ah, they
were all brought to a facility in
Canada in the Sonoma Valley, uh,
underneath a small town called
Nelson. The base was called Q552.
Moment of silence as Casbolt thinks.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
So we were all taken there, at the
time of birth. Some, some from
America i think... Umm. Some from
South America, obviously some form
the UK. Ahmm. I recall,
Looks up.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
some of the officers there, as from
after my deprogramming of course,
that they have created files and
documents about the plans of the
creation of 42 children, from
different cultures and countries.
It's, the program was called
ETLADS. Yeh. I forgot what that
stands for but. They would select
approximately 42 other families
with significant bloodlines, to
produce the perfect ubermen as an,
uh... Well basically an Intentional
reaction to help fight the war of
hybrids. Monsters.
JULIAN
So you're saying that Hylla and
Reyna are two of the 42?
CASBOLT
Oh yes. Indeed. Basically I was in
the possession of one of the
documents a few years back. And i
just remembered that unique
surname. You know, ah. Ramez-?
JULIAN (O.C.)
Ramírez-Arellano.
JAMES CASBOLT
Yeah, that's right.
36.
JULIAN (O.C.)
Tough one. I know.
(laughs)
CASBOLT
Yeah. Okay. So... The mothers of
um, the 42 um.
Julian shifts uncomfortably. His eyes tells us something is
bothering him.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
Basically, they were selected and,
um the embryos were cloned embryos,
grown in an artificial environment.
Um... Test tube babies.
Hylla is looking at Casbolt with confusion and at Julian with
a face wanting help.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
I think those, from my
understanding, those embryos were
then implanted into specific
women...
Silence.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
Who gave birth, and then, at the
time of birth the children were
raised in different lifestyles, and
um. Yeah, living amongst, um,
normal society. Living normal
lives.
Hylla stands up and walks to her dad's side.
HYLLA
Papa, why don't we never see mama?
What even happened to her?
Julian's face is starting to glisten with sweat.
JULIAN
Well, um. Not now. You will not
understand. You're too young.
James and Ben stare at Julian.
CASBOLT
So, you're saying you don't live
with your wife? That i assume is
quite common.
37.
BEN
Common? Come on dude, she cheated
on him. Cas-
CASBOLT
I am saying it is normal for the
families raising the 42 children.
There will always be one parent
that is not present at home. Which
makes me wonder if the parent, um
absent is even human.
Julian nervously puts his hands together and tapping his
foot, he stares at the crystals.
CASBOLT (O.C.) (CONT’D)
Julian, your wife was probably an
Nephlilm.
JULIAN
(nervous and frantic)
Ehm. No, no absolutely NOT! I
clearly remember her. I still talk
to her you know. She's not. She is
always here...
Julian stops and realises what he said.
JULIAN (CONT’D)
Erm, i'm gonna get some beers.
He gets up and leaves the room.
BEN
Okay, i think you're starting to,
um you know, ruffle some of his
feathers.
CASBOLT
I relate. The understanding of
their births is often quite
complicated.
HYLLA
We have a mum, her name is Karen.
She looks after me and Reyna. Dad
is always acting weird you know.
CASBOLT
But have you?
James gently pulls Hylla over.
38.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
Hylla, have you noticed anything
weird in your life? Anything weird
about you compared to others at
school? I suspect Karen is just a
step mother or babysitter. She
lives here?
HYLLA
No.
Hylla takes a while to speak.
HYLLA (CONT’D)
(shy)
I, can do more than-than,
everybody. I always beat everyone
in sport... I also see... i see
things too...
Reyna is chewing on her toy.
REYNA
Halla throwed Joe at school. He was
flying in the air!
(she laughs)
I can try it too! He's a very bad
boy.
(points at Hylla)
Hylla, you got time out at the
offist!
She shoots a sneaky smile.
Hylla gives an annoyed and embarrassed face and covers it
with her hands in shame.
James looks at Ben giving him a face saying, well there you
go.
BEN
Ohahaha. Don't be silly Reyna.
Well, James? What do you think?
Hylla gives an expression of embarrassment at Reyna's
remarks. She closes her eyes.
CASBOLT
Kids say the darndest things eh?
Yea, i believe her. They have no
guile. Though i do hope Joe learnt
his lesson the hard way. I was
bullied too when i was your age you
know. I know your pain Hylla.
(MORE)
39.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
I know you and your sister are
super humans. You know that deep
down. You're not alone, even if you
feel like, 41 others including your
sister, are experiencing similar
lives. I can tell you two are going
to grow up to be very strong
leaders.
Julian kicks the door open carrying three golden tin cans. He
comes in as a whole new character.
JULIAN
(excitingly)
Who wants some Medalla Light?!
Ben turns around.
BEN
Medalla? What's its like?
JULIAN
Why don't you wait and see? Or
taste really. Pffh, sorry. Here you
go commander.
Ben takes it.
BEN
Uh, thanks. Sergeant.
Julian offers some to James. He puts his hand out to suggest
he doesn't want it.
CASBOLT
No thank you, i'll have some water
please.
JULIAN
Sure thing. Want ice?
James thinks for a second.
CASBOLT
Yes please. The temperature here is
nothing compared to England.
Julian lives the room again. Reyna sneaks out.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
Feww, gotta get used to it. Want my
taste of England.
Ben and James laugh.
40.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
To feel back at home.
James sits back in the chair.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
Okay.
Ben flicks open his can.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
My goal, now, is to find these
children. Locate them and educate
them about what is really going on.
I don't know who the other 42
children are. I have a rough idea.
Now.
BEN (O.C.)
Why 42?
CASBOLT
(shakes head slightly)
I don't know.
BEN (O.C.)
Is it, just that was the sample
was, or is it has a significance in
it?
CASBOLT
(shakes head slightly)
I don't know. I'm sure there's
significance in it somewhere but i
don't have that information.
Julian returns, and pushes Reyna inside. He closes the door
behind him, with Reyna whining.
JULIAN
Agua for you. Extra iced.
He gives an a-okay sign. He gives the glass to James
CASBOLT
Beautiful. Thank you.
Julian sits back down and opens his cans.
JULIAN
To you, Casbolt, to the team and
the girls. May we have a fluke of
good luck in this.
41.
They clang their drink together and they all drink at once.
Once done, Ben shakes his head as he tastes the beer.
BEN
(satisfied)
Not bad.
JULIAN
Glorious, iconic stuff. Reminds me
of tecate. Spectacular!
BEN
Julzz, man, you should taste
Westvleteren 12. Agh... No words do
justice man. Right from Heaven's
gates.
CASBOLT
Okay, will you like me to continue
from where i left off?
BEN
(excited)
From the top, Cas. I don't care
anymore if it is crazy, just tell
us your story. All i needed was a
refreshing drink.
CASBOLT
Well fasten your seat-beats... It's
about to get weird.
END OF ACT 1
42.
ACT 2
SLIM MAN (CONT’D)
(from across the road)
Nice to finally meet you, Mr
Forever Young!
DIRECTOR BONNER
(German accent)
Doctor, it's Director Alfred Bonner
thank you very much!
SLIM MAN
Ah, no need to get cross director.
Of course i knew that. I wanted to
subtly remind you of my great
achievements.
Alfred approaches the sculpture. He looks up at the odd
looking bird/phoenix that is perched on top of the phallic
symbol. It has a rolled up scroll in its left claw. It has
its back to the Slim Man, but it head is peaking from behind
its right wing. Its glaring eyes are startled, twisted and
almost life-like.
SLIM MAN (O.C.) (CONT’D)
(in Alfred's head)
Yes, that' right. He's been here
all along. He's protecting us,
guiding all our regimes since the
beginning...
DIRECTOR BONNER
(deep voice)
If only we had more time... All
this discord between us...
The Slim Man grins. It is quite sinister.
Alfred looks at the phoenix's gaze and follows it. We see
that it is looking past the man. We see a small car park in
between the Hume Hotel and a large brick building. Beyond it
is a grey block house, with a single railed entrance to an
elevator shaft inside.
SLIM MAN
Come on through. The veil is
opening...
Alfred hesitates for a second and walks up to the kerb. He
waits until traffic has stopped.
FULL SHOT of the two characters looking at each other across
the street from both sides. Slowly, Alfred makes his way
across wearily towards the Slim Man in front of the Hume
Hotel.
44.
DIRECTOR BONNER
You've been around for a long time
haven't you Doctor? Samson, IBIS
and Mannequin will be some of the
most monumental enterprises. We
have planned years ahead of
ourselves. Us men are incapable.
All we need is your - genius.
The Slim Man looks ahead at a Gothic mansion across the
street, completely covered with greenery.
SLIM MAN
Oh excellent Director Bonner. The
final stage to our marvellous plan
is almost in full motion. Let me
guess - only 40 warriors of the
Tribe were recovered?
DIRECTOR BONNER
Affirmative.
SLIM MAN
Then i do believe they have just
arrived at the DUMB. Before i go, i
want to leave you with this: Chase
and the Ad Hoc Gang Bolsheviks are
expecting you.
Alfred motions his head as he clearly understands.
SLIM MAN (CONT’D)
Good afternoon. See you around.
The man shoots a rather comical smile and walks off down the
footpath. Alfred remains. He walks down the car park and into
the block house.
DIRECTOR BONNER
You're dismissed after documenting
the chosen ones.
CHASE
Sounds doable sir.
Chase inspects the next baby as Alfred walks inside the base.
CASBOLT (V.O.)
That was basically how they crafted
us into assassins when we were
older so we can keep functioning.
If we were concerned about the next
crisis, and we had anxiety about
that, we won't be able to carry out
orders. But in our mindset, if we
believed we were designed for
endless warfare, and it would never
stop... We were just, able to
accept that - and be relaxed. Bold.
Soulless... We slept in there, as
part of the trauma. They wanted us
to be exposed to the cold nights
and the elements - just like the
Spartans did.
DR. GREEN
No. Think of the eagle... We and
the west all have our roots to
Rome...
But Rome is under Greece, Greece
under Persia. And Persia under
Babylon. Nothing matters. 4 nations
- still under the one eagle...
He turns his head through a see-through plastic window. We
see inside. A dim large room full of pen sized Skinner boxes
about 30 feet wide. On the other side we see a brood of
creatures that are closed off from the crawling babies on the
other side.
We see Canadian wolves, snakes, scorpions, bob cats, and
other animals around mingling.
CASBOLT (V.O.)
They, were... basically giving us
the attributes of wild animals.
Again, most of this stuff was done
at an early age for when we were
older. This was obviously the early
stages of creating modern day
demigods, before they started
ETLADS which cloned the 42 in labs.
By doing this, basically they are
able to test and develop their
technology with my generation, to
then put these attributes into the
42 in the 1990s without waiting for
them to be born and conduct manual
experiments like this.
We see a wolf about the size of a tiger on its side against
the wall on a raised platform. It has a beautiful chocolate
red fur and eyes as silver as mist. We see three babies
weaning on the she-wolf, drinking milk as a mother breast
feeds.
DR. GREEN (O.C.)
One thing she has in common with
our Lord Hitler is this.
Burrhus looks at Dr.Green with interest.
DR. GREEN (CONT’D)
Lupa is harsh and judgemental
towards the people, mortal and god
alike. She only respects the
strong, as any uberman who she
judges to be weak is devoured by
her and the wolves.
49.
CASBOLT (V.O.)
This baby is named Heather Cross, i
met her during all these
conditioning projects.
Besides all the horror, we
instantly had a connection that
never broke. She, being one of us,
was selected early on when she was
3 years old and taken to San
Antonio Texas. Um, to the
underground bases over there, yeah.
But, I have no idea why. It made me
sad, because, she was the only
person there that actually made me
feel, well. Clam, relaxed, and
loved... Before meeting my step-
mother. Ah, it's my belief is that
she had something special going on
about her. Probably her family is
heavily involved with one of the
factions and aristocrats. Well, i
will submit to you, that her family
might have been selected to raise
one or two of the 42. I don't know,
but basically, she is a survivor
like me and is till alive today,
trying her hardest to escape those
dark forces that haunted us and
gnawed at our childhood, until it
became nothing but pure terror. I
am now her commander and i protect
her from these evil powers.
The baby looks back up at one of the screens
GEORGE BUSH SENIOR (FILTERED)
James, no. No you can't do that.
Listen, and watch the snake, right
over there.
CASBOLT (V.O.)
They denied any natural
affectionate activity. Emotions are
setbacks. We were raised as dead
androids without a conscience or
compassion for human kind. They
altered our value system so we may
be able to do anything at will and
forget what our evil handlers
commanded us to do.
52.
BEN (V.O.)
Wait, hold on man
FLASH TO:
CASBOLT (O.C.) (CONT’D)
Your daughters, Julian, can be
healed and can withstand dangerous
feats that would kill a normal
human. They will likely never age.
Cut back to Casbolt.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
When they reach their 30's, they
will look in their 20's until they
hit their 70's, if they ever reach
that milestone...
Julian has his hand on his chin with a very inserted face.
His eyes a wide with shock. Hylla sits back embarrassed with
herself.
CASBOLT (CONT’D)
This is the same with the SS
officers at Nelson Base, who still
have not aged a day, since World
War 2.
JULIAN
Wait a minute, are you saying that
my daughters are going to be
soldiers like me?!
CASBOLT
Yes, but stronger, faster and
better in every way.
DISSOLVE TO:
COM-12 SOLDIER 5
Huh...
He rubs his hand, as if nothing happened.
Back at the ambush site, we see the soldiers carrying the
children into the helicopter for safety.
CASBOLT (V.O.)
There were groups that apparently
wanted to rescue us.
From here we were taken to a
building in Toronto...
The scene becomes dreamy. In fades away into a white screen.
END OF ACT 2

ACT 3
CARL
We'll only go for a minute okay
girls.
Reyna jumps.
REYNA
Mofongo! YEEEHHHH!
CARL
(smiles)
Fine.
They continue walking down the blue cobblestone street.
WAITER (CONT’D)
Excellente! Come on, let's make
some for the customers too.
The girls follow the waiter into the kitchen. Carl stays back
and smiles.
He puts his hands in his pockets and walks outside.
Carl walks around for a while casually going about his
business. He sits at a table and has a look at the menu.
CUT TO:
We see two men in clean black suits and ties, and polished
black shoes. They are walking with a stiff and orderly gait.
They both have black fedora hats, black pants and black
sunglasses over their white pale skin. They walk unnoticed
into the restaurant.
CUT TO:
Carl in his seat. He looks uneasy.
CUT TO:
ZOOMED UP SILHOUETTE SHOT of one of the men in black in slow
motion as he walks through into the courtyard. The white
light from outside directly behind, shines around the shadow
like a halo. The second is no where to be seen.
CUT TO:
A strong breeze suddenly blows into the courtyard. Carl looks
up and sees the ferns blowing. The birds screech and fly
away. He traces his gaze it locks into the man walking calmly
towards him. The pale man's face is straight looking ahead
like a robot. He looks menacing and out of place. His lips
are a thin reddish line.
OVER SHOULDER SHOT as Carl's face changes from relaxed to
concerned.
CARL
Uh, what can i do for you sir?
The man's head slightly drops down sharply and looks at Carl
directly in the eyes with his tar black glasses.
69.
MIB 1
(monotone)
You are occupied with two girls and
a super solider named Micheal
Prince and James Casbolt, Carl
Sanders?
Carl's face droops in fear.
CARL
Y-no sir... But-
MIB 1
What has Mr. Casbolt told you about
the order's forbidden secrets?
Carl tenses.
CARL
He just, simply recounted his early
life story of being subjected to MK
ULTRA and Neo-Nazi training. Why?
MIB 1
Yes.
Carl thinks for a moment.
CARL
He, explained the creation of
hybrid children...
Carl looks around.
CARL (CONT’D)
(deep panicked voice)
Why are you telling me this? How
many of you are there?!
Silence.
The man puts out his ghoulish white hand.
MIB 1
There is a coin in your pocket.
Confused, Carl digs into his pocket. Lone-behold, he pulls
out a dirty sliver coin!
Astounded, Carl places it into the man's palm.
MIB 1 (CONT’D)
Look.
70.
EPILOGUE
DARWIN
But in this weather? Truly you
should have been delayed!
PENN WALTON
Oh, we departed early. Luckily our
travels didn't end tragically. We'd
harness the wings of the divine
Darwin.
DARWIN
(amazed)
But sir, you two are not even wet?!
Walton grins.
PENN WALTON
Oh, there is not much rain at all.
Darwin raises his eyebrow in interest outside.
DARWIN
Really?
PENN WALTON
Only lightning falling from Heaven.
Lightning flashes. We hear the deafening boom as it strikes
nearby. The blonde haired man steps forward.
WEISHAUPT
(German accent)
Lost brothers finally reunite. I am
Adam Weishaupt - Master of the
Order of perfectibilists.
They shake hands in a strange fashion. They grip each others
wrists as they do this firmly.
DARWIN
It's an honour Spartacus.
Walton takes off this trench coat and walks around admiring
all the many strange and diverse technologies in the
laboratory. He walks and looks into a large cylinder glass
filled with a greenish lime liquid. Inside floating is a
horrid slimy deformed cuttlefish, with large reddish
tentacles.
PENN WALTON
I hear you're an expert physician,
highly interested in the study of
the nature of the principle of
life.
74.
DARWIN
Oh, sorry indeed i am!
They walk and inspect the different types of strange
apparatus.
PENN WALTON
I am raptured by your
accomplishments.
DARWIN
Thank you man. As you can see here,
i am developing from the great
works of Scientist Luigi Galvani.
Reanimation you see is very
possible in all living organisms. I
am experimenting it with other
species you see. Originally it was
a dissected frog that formulated
the answer in Galvani's laboratory
during an electrical storm like
this one, raging outside. When he
touched the muscles of the frog
with his brass scissors the muscles
twitched as the electricity was
conducted. I see nature as the best
way to gain gratification,
especially with a driven intellect.
Weishaupt inspects the equipment. He has his right hand under
his chin nodding.
WEISHAUPT
Revolutionary... This will satiate
my zealous curiosity well. Should
the public know about this?
PENN WALTON
Tonight's the birth of revolution.
Some few do know of this, yes, and
they are marvelled at how the dead
frog can now move! How horrid!
Erasmus, please don't feel as if
you are wearing an albatross around
your neck. Applying the principle
of galvanism to human corpses, will
be the next step for you men to
fulfil our plans for the New
Atlantis. I know, excellent job
Darwin. Absolutely marvellous!
(puts his hand on his
shoulder)
It's a bold and ambitious choice
you have made.
75.
DARWIN
Ha, i am delighted to hear Penn.
Thank you.
PENN WALTON
To now behold a physician now
containing the power to resurrect
people literally back from the
dead! God's power is now in your
hands - with science.
DARWIN
So sir, you've arrived to promote
it?
Walton turns.
PENN WALTON
Certainty, i am.
He begins to pace as he monologues.
PENN WALTON (CONT’D)
It is now the time for our plans to
be put into the forefront. It must
become accepted and ingrained; in
this society before we set them
into full motion.
(he turns form looking
down and looks up at the
men with a hand gesture
pointing up)
By sensational, and beautiful
sophisticated literature - the plan
of reanimation will become an
innate memory in the psyche of men
- forever. It will reawaken when we
finally bring him back, and they
will not see it as foreign but as
something familiar and nostalgic.
Pristine way, this will be, to
prepare men for the greatness of
the Golden Age.
Lighting flashes silently.
DARWIN
Oh Penn, that's a very visionary
and ambitious statement. How must
this be done?
WEISHAUPT
We can't. Only they can do it.
76.
PENN WALTON (CONT’D)
We need free men to know that God
is in themselves. My most
monumental hope is to release my
brothers from the chains of prison.
Grimy from our deeds; censored for
acting out in charity for man.
A divine footprint is at enmity
with the carnal land.
This is what they get for
sympathy?!
Walton lifts his face from his hands.
PENN WALTON (CONT’D)
We have but a short time
and yet, a complex plan...
How we might be able to reckon with
death?
Show Weishaupt's engaged look in his eyes. He lifts his head
up proudly.
PENN WALTON (O.C.) (CONT’D)
Humanity cannot see sweetness and
fulfilment by - ignorance and
instinctive senses.
Cut back to the Walton.
PENN WALTON (CONT’D)
Pointing to the concept of reaching
the excellence of any kind,
will advocate for true happiness.
All these thousands of years, i
have struggled alone, without my
brothers,
FLASH TO:
BEING MONTAGE
- We see a group of 5 individuals, three men and two girls
inside a rich high-class 18th century lounge room, next to a
fireplace, filled with fancy reddish pink chairs and
chandeliers. We see outside the large windows covered with
white currants lighting flashing in a thunderstorm.
PENN WALTON (V.O.)
to capture the minds of many
geniuses,
- One man in a trench coat with black hair is by the
fireplace with his back to the girls and facing the two men.
He raises his right figure to his lips. He is 28.
