EXT. SHORES OF CARTHIS – NIGHT

Jarod parks the boat near the beach. With Andrew’s help they drag the boat across the sand and hide it behind some bushes.

ANDREW

You think this will do it?

JAROD

There’s no reason for anyone to suspect we’re here. As long as they don’t see the boat, they won’t see us.

ANDREW

You are the expert. So where do we start?

JAROD

We scout the island first, only then will we begin our search.

Jarod produces a black leather bag from the boat, unzips it and finds two flashlights. He gives one to Andrew. Then he takes out a gun, checks it and puts it in his inside pocket.

JAROD

Ready?

Andrew nods.

The two men begin moving swiftly through the night. All communication is resumed to gestures.

EXT. CARTHIS – NIGHT

All the lights are out. The streets are empty.

JAROD

We’re not alone.

ANDREW

Are you sure? I do not hear anything.

JAROD

Precisely. You said so yourself: the map is hidden here. Do you think The Centre would risk having a villager finding it?

ANDREW

Are you saying they...?

JAROD

I hope not, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

ANDREW

My God... But why now?

Suddenly, they hear the sound of an helicopter approaching. They hide to avoid being detected by the light.

The helicopter lands and Miss Parker and Sam exit.

ON MISS PARKER

MISS PARKER

(to the pilot)

Be back in three hours.

PILOT

Yes, Miss Parker.

The helicopter takes off, leaving Miss Parker and Sam behind.

SAM

I hope you know what you’re doing.

MISS PARKER

Trust me Sam, the last thing we need is someone using the helicopter to flee this place and leave us behind.

ON JAROD

He smiles as he hears Miss Parker. Andrew watches the duo, not understanding Jarod’s reaction.

Miss Parker and Sam walk away.

ANDREW

She sure looks like her mother.

JAROD

More than she admits.

ANDREW

Do you want to follow them?

JAROD

At least so we know if there’s anyone else on the island.

Jarod and Andrew start following Miss Parker and Sam through the streets of Carthis.

ON MISS PARKER

SAM

Where are we going?

MISS PARKER

There’s a chapel nearby. We’ll start there.

SAM

How come you didn’t want Sydney and Broots to come with us?

MISS PARKER

Because I have the feeling things are gonna get ugly. And if they do, I don’t want to have to worry about protecting my partner’s ass. You and me, we’re not afraid to pull the trigger. Sydney’s a good shooter too, but he’s getting old for this and Broots...

Broots would probably shoot his own foot.

SAM

You’re right. It would be too dangerous for all of us.

EXT. CHAPEL OF SOULS – NIGHT

Miss Parker and Sam arrive at the chapel.

ON JAROD

Jarod and Andrew watch them from two blocks away.

Miss Parker and Sam enter the chapel.

ANDREW

You think they came here to meet with someone?

JAROD

I don’t know. Sydney and Broots are not with her.

ANDREW

Who is Broots?

JAROD

One of her team-mates. She never leaves them behind, unless she’s expecting to find trouble. And if that’s the case, I doubt she’s here to meet anyone.

ANDREW

You think they are looking for the map too?

JAROD

Let’s wait for a while.

ANDREW

And then what?

JAROD

We’ll see.

INT. CHAPEL OF SOULS – NIGHT

Miss Parker and Sam walk along the nave.

SAM

Creepy place.

MISS PARKER

Sshhhh.

Sam shuts up.

OUTSIDE

Jarod and Andrew approach the building and look through the window. They see Miss Parker and Sam near the altar.

ANDREW

There is a secret passage behind that altar.

JAROD

Is that where the map is?

ANDREW

Part of it.

JAROD

Part of it? What does that mean?

ANDREW

The map is stored in a vault. The key that opens it is hidden in another vault. Behind the altar is the key that opens that second vault. However, the key is only useful if they know this strategy.

JAROD

You think they know?

ANDREW

It does not seem like they do. Otherwise they would have already opened it.

JAROD

Maybe they’re waiting for someone.

As if to support his statement, they hear a car approaching. Quickly, they hide behind a dumpster and stay quiet.

The car engine stops.

They wait.

Moments later, a team of sweepers comes running toward the chapel.

Jarod doesn’t know any of them, but when he sees the last one there’s a vibe.

He knows that face. And so does Andrew.

ANDREW

Dear God!

JAROD

Do you know who he is?

The group reaches the chapel and starts positioning.

Andrew is about to answer when the group enters the chapel with their guns drawn and ready to fire.

JAROD

You tell me later. Right now we need to help Miss Parker and Sam.

ANDREW

What do you have in mind?

JAROD

We need something to divert their attention.
