INT. THE CENTRE. TECH-ROOM – DAY

Broots is working at his computer. We focus on the screen monitor. He’s doing an image search on the mystery man when he hears footsteps approaching. He types a few commands and the screen changes to a newspaper clip about Jarod.

Miss Parker approaches Broots.

MISS PARKER

Well?

BROOTS

Nothing so far.

MISS PARKER

You need to worry more. I just received information that The Triumvirate is coming here.

JULES (O.S.)

Wrong.

Miss Parker and Broots turn their heads and see Jules near the entrance, followed by Mr. Raines and Lyle.

JULES (CONT.)

I’m already here.

Broots is scared senseless. Miss Parker tries to maintain her composure, but even Raines and Lyle seem to be uncomfortable near this man.

MISS PARKER

Who are you?

RAINES

Mr. Perrgodak is the new appointed leader of The Triumvirate.

JULES

Yes, I am. And please, call me Jules.

(approaches Miss Parker)

Miss Parker, you look astonishingly beautiful. Just like your mother.

(kisses her hand)

Mr. Broots...

(nods)

Well, I should let you go back to work.

(nods to the monitor)

Good luck with that search, Mr. Broots.

I hope you find what you’re looking for.

The three men exit the room.

BROOTS

He knows. Somehow, he knows.

MISS PARKER

Who the hell is this guy?

Broots returns to his search. One positive match found.

BROOTS

Look. There’s a reference here to a documentary called... this is creepy... ‘SECRETS OF THE DEAD’.

MISS PARKER

Let’s see what the dead have to say.

Broots clicks on the link.

BROOTS

It’s about the Zulus.

MISS PARKER

The Zulus?

BROOTS

Yeah.

(clicks)

It was directed by Mark Lewis.

MISS PARKER

Check the credits. Find out if... Perrgodak is anywhere mentioned.

BROOTS

(typing, mumbles)

What kind of name is that anyway?

The search comes back empty.

BROOTS (CONT.)

Nothing.

MISS PARKER

Keep looking. There’s gotta be something there.

That Ian Knight sounds familiar. Run a search on him.

Broot types “Ian Knight” in the search engine.

32.400 results found.

BROOTS

We need to narrow this down.

MISS PARKER

Let’s try this another way.

Run a search on Perrgodak using the picture too.

Broots types “Perrgodak” on the search line.

No results found.

BROOTS

No good.

MISS PARKER

There’s gotta be something.

BROOTS

Maybe it’s an alias. An anagram, y’know?

MISS PARKER

Can you try other combinations?

BROOTS

I can use an anagram generator and see what happens.

MISS PARKER

Do it.

A list of combinations shows up.

ON SCREEN

1. GRADE PORK

2. EDGAR PORK

3. DARK GROPE

BROOTS

This is it.

MISS PARKER

Try the last one.

Broots runs a search on ‘DARK GROPE’ associated with the picture.

One result. He clicks on it.

A window with a map of Scotland appears.

Broot clicks the image and a flash presentation begins.

ON SCREEN

A sequence of images related to the Knights Templar as a background. Imposed on it are the lines:

• WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

• WHERE IT CONTINUES

• WHERE IT WILL NEVER END

The presentation ends with an image of the Chapel of Souls.

MISS PARKER

He knows we’re onto him.

BROOTS

He’s setting you a trap.

MISS PARKER

Get a chopper. I’m going there.

BROOTS

(stutters)

What? Miss Parker, are you sure--?

MISS PARKER

Get a chopper, Broots.

And keep searching. I’ll be back.

BROOTS

When?

Miss Parker exits the room without answering. Broots picks up the phone.

INT. THE CENTRE. MISS PARKER’S OFFICE – DAY

Miss Parker is packing her stuff when Sydney enters.

SYDNEY

I was going to invite you to lunch.

MISS PARKER

Sorry, I was just leaving.

SYDNEY

I know. Broots told me about your discovery.

MISS PARKER

That little weasel...

SYDNEY

Are you sure you should do this?

MISS PARKER

As sure as I can be of anything in my life.

Sydney approaches her.

SYDNEY

Parker...

MISS PARKER

I need answers, Sydney.

SYDNEY

It may be a trap.

MISS PARKER

I know it is.

SYDNEY

I can’t convince you to stay?

MISS PARKER

No.

Miss Parker walks to the door and leaves.

SYDNEY

Be careful.
