*Opening Intro*
Two spotlights appear, one from one direction and one from another. One camera appears from sewers with mice on it and second camera emerges from tree finishing with clapboard clamping down.
Dear Mom and Dad I'm doing fine,
The camera then rushes through the film set, miss Chris in his vehicle, then pass several props until it hits the clothes rack scattering clothes around.
You guys are on my mind
After that it flies over the fake cliff, leans down and drops from sky landing in a tiny swimming pool.
You ask me what I wanted to be
Inside the water Samantha is brawling with the shark
And now I think the answer is plain to see
Camera leaves water and we see Doug sleeping on the surfboard with seagulls flying into his direction until one hits him and send him down in the water.
I wanna be famous
Camera then reveal that it was Marshal who was shooting seagulls at him. Next to him stands Nova who looks annoyed that Marshal doesn't give her any attention. Camera pass them and leave the recording studio.
I wanna live close to the Sun

Everything to prove nothing in my way I'll get there one day

They pass the Lame-o-sine in which are sitting Cordelia and Kirsten. Cordelia then open the door which leads us to the Gilded Chris Award Ceremony where Chris is in his blue suit and Chef is in his beautiful pink dress.
I wanna be

I wanna be famous
Camera then show the view in the aftermath studio where Samuel and Nathan are sitting on the main couch and are trying to kiss each other but stop as soon as they discover camera is looking at them. Camera moves away showing other characters when on the screen above appear the Total Drama Action logo.
*Intro ends*
*Craft Services Tent*
The camera shows all of the remaining contestants sitting at the table near the exit. Brooke, Sammy and Sam are sitting on the left side of the table while Marshal and Nova are sitting at the right side of the table. Notice that Sam, besides her everyday clothing, is now also wearing a sunglasses from Andrew, totally covering her eyes. Before each contestants, on the table, is a plate containing a taco with Scrambled eggs inside.
-Taco with Scrambled eggs? Ugh!- Brooke sighed.- Where is Jared when you need him?!- Brooke commented while looking at breakfast.
-Eww... Is that an eggshell?- Sammy asked in disgust as he pointed at his taco.
-Yeah... Sounds like Chef's work.- Marshal commented.
-But couldn't Jared helped him in kitchen?- Sammy asked.- He is Chef's apprentice after all.- Sammy added after a second.
-He couldn't.- Nova simply answered.- I met him on my way here. He said something about helping Chris preparing today's reward challenges.- Nova explained to others.
-I don't get! Why do we even need reward challenges? It's such a waste of time in my opinion!- Marshal explained, looking really annoyed.
-Maybe they couldn't afford bigger cast but they still wanted 26 episodes?- Brooke suggested to others.
-Probably.- Nova replied.
-Okay.- Sam finally interrupted them.- I don't know about you but I will not wait until Jared came back to make us another breakfast. I am too tired for that.- Sam explained to others and took a bite of Eggs Taco and when she tried to swallow it, she starts choking.
-What is happening Sam?!- Sammy yelled, looking scared by the situation.
-She's choking.- Brooked said after a second.
-No s**t, Sherlock!- Nova sarcastically replied to Brooke after a second. Then Marshal stood up, run towards Sam, then he put his hands on her waist from behind and bend them forward. He then placed his right fist above Sam's belly button, put the other hand on that fist and then he starts pulling sharply inwards and upwards and after three times of doing that a memory card for a smartphone escaped her mouth and she starts deeply breathing.
-Thanks... Marshal...- Sam thanked Marshal as she continued to breath heavily.
-Wow! I would expect anyone to do this but not you.- Nova explained while referring to Marshal.
-Hey! Maybe I am not exactly a good guy but I'm not a monster either.- Marshal explained to Nova.- Maybe you're just jealous that I got the opportunity to touch Sam's waist and not yours.- Marshal said with smirk on his face as he leaned forward to blushing Nova.
-As if!-Nova yelled and then pointed at the memory card that caused Sam to starts choking.-What is this anyway?!
-Look like a memory card to me.- Brooke explained as she grabbed the memory card and inspected it.
-Maybe there is something very important on it!- Sammy suggested with serious face.
-Well, there is only one way to check that.- Marshal said with smirk on his face as he once more leaned towards Nova.- Nova, darling, can we?- He asked while pointing at the smartphone in Nova's hands.
-You want me to put this dirty thing in my phone?! Forget it!- Nova yelled, looking both angry and annoyed by Marshal.
-It's not like you have a choice anyway.- Sam stated after she finally came to herself after that choking.- It's probably have some information about today challenges.- Sam explained and without hesitation took Nova's phone from her hands.
-Hey! Give it back!- Nova ordered to Sam angrily.
-Force me.- Sam sarcastically said to Nova as she replaced the memory card from the phone with that they received in the breakfast.
-I thought you wanted to win this game, Nova.- Marshal replied to her while she just sighed.
-It's weird.- Sam commented as she starts typing something in the phone.- There is only some sort of video on this.- Sam explained as everyone gathered around her and then Sam turned on the video.
*Video*
The camera shows Chris standing in the middle of his studio.
-I hope you all had a filling breakfast.- Chris started his statement.- It was so delish. I was practically on cloud nine. I could've had a dozen of them.- Chris strangely explained and then starts laughing.- But enough about breakfast. It's time to eighty-six this combination. Uh, I mean, conversation.- Chris corrected himself as he looked away.- Right now, I'm going to relax in a nice safe and secure place. And get ready for today's challenge. You're probably wondering what the challenge is. It will remain a mystery until you find me. Hopefully, you'll clue in and track me down.- Chris explained as he pulled out a soda.- But in the meantime, I'm going to crack open a soda and relax. See ya.- Chris said as he opened a soda and then the video ended.
*Video ends*
-Wow! I think Chris should take a little vacation.- Brooke commented the video.- He is going crazy!- Brooke added as she pointed at her head.
-Wow! There must be some super-extra reward for that challenge.- Marshal stated.- Either way I would not even bother finding him. We could take a day off.- Marshal said as he winked to Nova.
-I'm with Marshal.- Sam tiredly added.- I'm just so tired.
*Confessional-Sam*
-I couldn't sleep last night. Every time I close my eyes I see the eliminated players placing that stupid dress on me. I can still hear that stupid German song! I won't be able to sleep anymore!
*Confessional ends*
-Yeah, but maybe if we find Chris, he'll have some kind of surprise! Who doesn't love surprises?- Sammy explained to others with determination in his eyes.- I think he was giving some hints. He was saying something about cloud nine so he is probably somewhere around the film lot with clouds around him!- Sammy suggested.- Remember the war movie challenges? We were at this fake plane. I bet there is where Chris is hiding!- Sammy explained his reasoning to others.
-That would be great theory, Sammy. There is only one problem.- Brooke replied to Sammy as Marshal interrupted her.
-It doesn't make sense with the other parts of that video.- Marshal calmly added.
-Of course it doesn't make sense because it's not what happened!- Nova explained to others, looking annoyed by them.- Chris said he was feeling safe and secure. Get it? Safe?- Nova asked as other just continue to look at her.- Chris said that he was going to crack open a soda. You crack a safe. Now you get it?- Nova once again asked them, still not receiving any proper reply.
-No, I just don't get it.- Sammy replied after a second.
-He's clearly in the bank vault set from the bank heist challenge! Duh.- Nova yelled at them, clearly annoyed by their stupidity.
-Now I remember.- Marshal started.- It's the same vault that my stupid former teammates left me to starve.- Marshal said with annoyance in his eyes.- It's good that both of them aren't here anymore.
-Then what are we waiting for?- Brooke asked.- Great job, Nova. Let's go!- Brooke said as she, Nova and Marshal left the Tent.
-Hey! What about me?!- Sammy yelled at them.- I figured out that Chris is hiding somewhere around the film lot!- Sammy explained, looking annoyed by others ignoring him.
-You did good, bro...- Sam said and then she yawned.- Now let's go.- Sam said and both of them followed the others.
*Confessional-Sam*
-I feel quite bad for Sammy. He tries his best but I think he is a little too gullible. Safe and secure, huh? I would probably figure it out quicker if I wasn't that tired.
*Confessional ends*
*State-of-the-art safes*
The camera shows a film studio with two big safes in the middle of it. All of the contestants are currently standing in front of the safe to the right.
-So... what's now, Nova?- Brooke asked, not entirely sure what to do.
-Try cleaning out your ears and listening for a change?- Nova explained to Brooke after a second.- Chris said the combination. Right after he talked about cloud nine.- Nova reminded others as she starts turning the knob around.- And he could've had a dozen breakfast burritos?- Nova said as she once again turn the knob around.- And then he said eighty-six!- Nova turned the safe knob around one last time and suddenly the safe doors opened, releasing lots of bright light outside, and revealed Chris, wearing a deerstalker hat and carried a green doctor bag in his left hand. He also held a calabash pipe to his mouth with his right hand.
-See.- Nova said as she turned towards others with smirk on her face.- Now, Where's my reward?!- Nova asked as she turned towards Chris.
-Hmm. I hardly recall having mentioned any sort of reward.- Chris said in very poor English accent as he starts coughing.- But thanks for releasing me. It was getting stuffy in there.- Chris replied, now, in his normal voice.
-Don't you know it's unhealthy to smoke?- Sammy asked Chris with disgust on his face.
-Yes, of course I know that.- Chris simply replied as he toss the pipe into his mouth and starts chewing it and immediately everyone send him suspicious and disgusted glare.- What!?- Chris asked them.- It's chewing tobacco.- Chris explained to everyone, with his mouth still full.
-Ewww...- Sammy, Nova and Brooke all replied in disgust.
-Nah, just kidding. It's black licorice.- Chris corrected himself as he continued to chew it.
-Ewww!- Now everyone replied in unison, looking even more disgusted than before.
-Yeah, you're right.- Chris stated as he spit it out.- That stuff's disgusting. Now it's time for mystery movie day!- Chris announced to the final five.- I've got a challenge for each of you. Tonight, you're to meet me at the train station set.- Chris explained to everyone.
-Really? Train?- Marshal asked in disbelief.- What are you going to do? Throw us a party?- Marshal added with doubtful eyes.
-Maybe...But first, I'll require full fingerprints and DNA samples from each competitor.- Chris explained the challenge to everyone.
*Confessional-Marshal*
-Will it count if I fake it?
*Confessional ends*
-So, each of the competitors has to gather the evidence from any one of the other competitors.- Chris explained to others.- Which means, it's in your interest to prevent the other guy from getting your deets. Which means you can't give anyone your samples willingly. You get it?! Sam? Sammy?- Chris asked while looking at both twins.-Now go pack an overnight bag and get me my clues.- Chris ended when suddenly Nova run towards him and stated:
-I am going to win today's reward! Do you hear me?!- Nova angrily yelled at Chris, looking obviously annoyed that she couldn't win any of previous episodes while Chris just shrugged.
*Girls trailer*
The camera shows as Brooke, Nova and Sam enter the girls trailer. Brooke is looking suspicious at other girls while Nova is obviously looking angry, while Sam tiredly fall on the ground and Brooke immediately knees before her to check if she is okay.
-I can't believe this!- Nova angrily yelled.- I deserved that reward to help me with this challenge! If I didn't come up with seeking for him, then he would end up dead from starvation!- Nova explained her reasoning as she sat down on the couch.
-It wasn't your idea. It was Sammy's.- Sam tiredly replied as Brooke helped her stood up.
-Sam's right. You shouldn't even be here in the first place.- Brooke reminded Nova of her return to the show. Nova then sighed and said:
-Brooke.- Nova suddenly started with smile on her face.- I really respect all of you. I guess I overreact a little. Maybe I could make it up to some of you?- Nova suggested the idea to Brooke.
-Sure...oh, wait...I just remembered that I already got plans.- Brooke replied and the headed towards the exit.- I've got some DNA samples to gather.- Brooke added and left the trailer while Nova, now starts looking annoyed.
Nova then looked at Sam who felt asleep in her bed with smile on her face. Then Nova pulled out a small pair of scissors and cut off a lock of Sam's hair and then she grabbed her hand, covered it with blusher and then imprinted her fingerprints on the paper. Lastly Nova placed both, Sam's hair and her fingerprints, in transparent bag and run away.
*Confessional-Nova*
-Man, I am good! I must thank Brooke. If she didn't leave, I would probably never take that samples from Sam as easily as I did.
*Confessional ends*
*Confessional-Brooke*
The camera shows Brooke looking around the confessional.
-Okay... I'm pretty sure that there should be some hair left by others around here.- Brooke said as she continued her search. Suddenly a big barrel fell on her and immobilized her. Then Marshal appeared from the right side of the confessional, pulled one hair from Brooke's head and then covered Brooke's hand in red paint and imprinted her fingerprints on the sheet of paper.
-I'm sorry Brooke. I admit that I wanted to take Nova's sample but she already left.- Marshal explained to Brooke quickly and left.
*Confessional ends*
*Boys trailer*
The camera shows Marshal entering the boys trailer while whistling when suddenly he tripped and landed on the floor. He then realized that his hands both landed in some paint container and were covered in purple paint. Sammy then appeared from behind the couch, with scissors in his hands and tried to cut off some of Marshal's hair but before he could do anything Marshal rolled around, grabbed Sammy's hand and placed Sammy's hair in the paint container and run away, leaving Sammy with purple head.
*Communal bathroom*
The camera shows Sammy, without any clothes, entering the communal bathroom, still covered in purple paint that was now sipping down his body. He passed the toilets and headed towards the showers. When he finally starts showering, one of the toilets doors opened revealing Brooke with flat paint container, filled with blue paint, and with paper sheet as well. She then placed the paint container on the ground and paper a few steps ahead and then hid once again in the toilet, by closing the doors to it. After some minutes Sammy left the shower, completely clean, and headed towards the exit. He didn't noticed the paint container and he accidentally stepped in it and then he imprinted his foot imprint on it and left. Brooke then left the toilet once more, grabbed the paper with Sammy's foot imprint and soon after she found a blond hair lying around the paper as well and then she run away.
*Craft Services Tent*
The camera shows Sam, without Andrew's sunglasses on her, revealing purple-black bags under her eyes. She is sitting at the table near the exit, on its left side. And on the plate before her is spaghetti with tomato sauce. Suddenly Sammy, now completely clean and in his normal clothes, entered the Tent and approached Sam when suddenly Sam yelled:
-Oh, no! My sunglasses from Andrew!- Sam yelled while pointing at the plate with spaghetti on it. Sammy then placed his hands in the food and starts looking through it. After some time he took out his hands, now entirely covered in tomato sauce, of it and shrugged. Then Sam took out a paper and imprinted Sammy's fingerprints on the paper, took out a sunglasses and placed them on her face. And finally she pulled one blond hair from Sammy's head and left, leaving Sammy with disappointed and defeated face.
*Confessional-Sam*
-I am really sorry for using Sammy in such a way. Normally I would just proposed the exchange of a samples but Chris said we couldn't do that. And I am too tired to think of anything else...- Sam explained and then she yawned and suddenly she fall asleep. Then Sammy quietly entered the confessional and placed his finger on his mouth as he looked towards the camera. He then took out a pair of scissors and cut off a lock of Sam's hair and imprinted her fingerprints by using the remaining of the purple paint he wanted to use earlier to gain Marshal's DNA samples and after Sammy was done, he quietly left the confessional.
*Confessional ends*
The camera now shows Marshal and Nova sitting at the table. Both of them are enjoying a romantic candlelit dinner and in the background there is a night sky. Then Nova took out a glass of wine and starts pouring it into Marshal's cup. And when Marshal tried to grab it, Nova immediately spilled the wine on Marshal's hand, placed a paper against it and imprinted his fingerprints. When Marshal realized what she did she stood up and approached her in order to get back his fingerprints but before he could do anything, Nova kicked him into the crotch and then pulled out one of his hair and run away, leaving Marshal in a pain.
*Train station*
The camera shows all of the remaining contestants standing outside of a Train Station in particular order: Brooke, Marshal, Sam, Sammy and Nova. In the background we can see mountainous horizons alongside with night sky. Each of the contestants is currently holding one or two transparent bags with other person DNA samples. Brooke with Sammy's samples, Marshal with Brooke's samples, Sam with Sammy's samples, Sammy with Sam's samples and Nova with both Marshal's and Sam's samples.
Suddenly a train bell was heard in the distance as Chris exit the station, still in his hat but he also was now carrying a small box. He then walked past each contestants as they dropped samples they gathered. He then stops for a second and noticed that both twins deliver each others samples and then he looked at them suspicious while they just shrugged. Chris then approached Nova who was holding two bags.
-Soooo...Any reward for this challenge?- Nova asked as she placed both bags in Chris's box.
-Sorry, Nova. It's not reward time yet.- Chris replied Nova with smirk on her face.
-But aren't the winner of the first challenge supposed to have advantage in the next one?- Nova now asked, looking really pissed off by Chris.
-Not this time, Nova.- Chris simply replied, looking slightly annoyed by Nova's attitude.
-But this is so unfair!- Nova yelled back at Chris.
-So what? Life isn't fair.- Chris replied as he approached the train and placed a box with samples on the step, leading to the train door, right next to the doctor bag from earlier.
-Isn't fair? Isn't fair?!- Nova asked angrily.- Then what about this? I will make a quick call to the producers. I'm sure they'll be happy to hear about you choosing favorites amongst the contestants.- Nova threatened Chris and then added.- Maybe I even suggest making Jared the new host and degrading you to be his butler.- Nova suggested and then Chris, who now looks really angry and annoyed by Nova, finally yelled:
-Okay! Fine! Here you go!- Chris said as he opened the doctor bag took out a pack of cheese crisps and threw them to Nova.- I was gonna eat 'em on the train, but you're welcome to them if they will shut you up!- Chris explained to Nova.
-But... How are these supposed to help me?!- Nova asked, looking even angrier than before.
-I don't know. The only thing that I know that the orange cheese powder is almost irremovable. A small hint.- Chris explained to Nova and then added.- All aboard!- Chris yelled to everyone as the camera shown a train whistle starting to blow the air and after a few seconds it also shows that a wheels of train began moving.
*Inside of the train*
The camera shows the inside of the compartment, specifically Nova sitting at the table with Marshal sitting on the other side of the table. Then the camera shows Chris approaching the table and placing the doctor bag on it. He then grabbed Nova's wrist and covered her hand with black paint.
-Hey! What are you doing?!- Nova yelled while looking really surprised.
-Regulation to ride the train, ma'am.- Chris simply replied while imprinting Nova's fingerprints on the paper and then releasing her wrist.
Then the camera turns towards the end of the compartment where Brooke, Sam and Sammy are sitting at the same table when suddenly Jared, wearing his suit, entered the compartment, wheeling the cart of sweets and other food and stopping just before Chris.
-Welcome aboard the 7:30 to Funville. Let the party begin!- Chris happily announced to everyone.
-So you wasn't kidding about the party?- Marshal asked, looking really surprised for a change.
-Of course not.- Chris replied.- As an addition Jared will serve you tonight as your private butler.- Chris announced as he pointed at depressed looking Jared.
-I hate my life.- Jared commented with sad face and then added.- By the way, Chris? Where is that paycheck you promised me?- Jared asked as he send Chris a suspicious glare which caused Chris to look nervous.
-I-I-I-I need to be over there!- Chris yelled and run towards the opposite side of the compartment while Jared just rolled his eyes.
-So you really aren't joking?- Sammy asked in disbelief.
-And this all is just for us?- Brooke asked as she pointed at the cart with food.
-Of course!- Chris replied.
-Hey! Chris?!- Marshal yelled to Chris and then asked.- Can we get some booze? I mean there is no party without booze.- Marshal explained while looking at Chris.
-Considering that everyone except you are under 19...I guess I could give you a bottle of wine if you promise that you wouldn't share with anyone.- Chris explained, not really caring.
-Then I promise.- Marshal replied and then immediately Jared placed a tray with a bottle of red wine before Marshal as well as one cup.- Thanks, man.
-This is great! Finally some time to sleep.- Sam said and then placed her head on the table and closed her eyes.- If anyone going to wake me, I will kill him.- Sam quickly said and then she fall asleep.
Brooke and Sammy then changed their table and Brooke took out her notebook.
-Do you want maybe to help me with a latest fanfiction, I've been writing?- Brooke asked her friend.- It's about Cody and Gwen competing in a season around the world without Trent. Gwen and Trent broke up before the season started while Cody is dealing with super-crazy uber fan. After some time they realize how many familiar traits they have and how many similarities there are between them.- Brooke explained the summary of her idea to Sammy, who looked really interested by the idea.
-It's great idea!- Sammy explained.- Jared, could you give us some of orange juice, please?-Sammy asked and Jared immediately poured some orange juice to both of them.
-Yeah...- Brooke replied.- I just can't think of any good name for that Cody-obsessed girl.- Brooke said with disappointment.
-What about Sierra?- Sammy suggested.
-Why this particular name?- Brooke asked.
-I don't know. It was the first name I come up with.- Sammy replied with a smile on his face as he shrugged.
-Season around the world, they say? Maybe I should make that happen.- Chris said to himself as he rubbed his chin.
Then the camera moved towards Marshal and Nova. Nova is currently doing something on her phone while Marshal already ended drinking his wine and starts looking at Nova with a smirk on his face.
-Can I say something, Nova?- Marshal asked with a little blush on his face.
-Don't tell me you already drunk all of the wine.- Nova said and then rolled her eyes.- Seriously when will you start acting like a mature person?- Nova rhetorically asked and then she opened the pack of her cheese crisps but when she open it she accidentally spilled all of the crisps on Jared's tray.- Great! Now I lost my reward!- Nova angrily yelled.- Jared! Take this tray from here!- Nova ordered to Jared and he immediately took it.
-Can we go back to our conversation?- Marshal asked Nova.
-Sure, tell me whatever you want.- Nova replied, not entirely sure what Marshal want from her.
-You know, we always argue and fight with each other, but I wanna tell you that you're pretty, hot and sometimes kind, but annoying and a little stubborn. But despite of this... I...- Before Marshal could say anything more the lights shut down and nobody could see anything.
-Who shut down the lights?!- Brooke asked, scared.
-Um, you can't kill the host! Ah, ooh!- Chris yelled, really loudly out of desperation when suddenly a loud thump can be heard in the compartment and after that the lights come back.
-What was that?!- Jared yelled, still staying next to Nova and Marshal.- And where is my tray?- Jared asked because indeed his tray disappeared.
-Look! Chris is dead!- Brooke screamed in fear as she pointed at the floor were you could now see something that looked like corpse of Chris McLean.
-Like dead dead?- Sammy asked, looking really scared while Marshal stood up and placed his fingers on Chris's wrist.
-Yeah... super dead.- Marshal stated and then released his wrist.
-No that's not possible!- Nova yelled as she approached Chris's body.- I didn't even won my million dollars yet! He can't be dead now!- Nova angrily yelled.- Jared! Give him CPR!- Nova yelled at the boy while he sighed.
-Don't sigh Jared! Do something! He's not breathing!- Sammy yelled in fear after a second.
Jared then knelt down by the body and starts giving him artificial respiration. After a few respirations he check his pulse and his face immediately went pale.
-His still not responding.- Jared stated with fear in his eyes.- He, truly, is dead.- Jared said and then the camera give a close-up shots of everyone faces: Jared's pale face, Nova's, Sammy's and Brooke's scared faces, Marshal's surprised face and Sam, still hard sleeping on the table and then the screen went black.
*After the break*
The camera now shows Brooke and Jared running around the compartment in fear while Sammy is standing in one place, with pale face and immobilized by fear.
-We're all gonna die!- Jared yelled as he run around the compartment.
-Why I even auditioned to be on this show?!- Brooke yelled after him, also running because of fear.
-Dead body on the train! Ewwww!- Sammy yelled in fear as he pointed at Chris's body.
The camera then continue to show Jared and Brooke running around and screaming when finally they hit each other in front of Marshal and fall on the floor.
-Stop being such crybabies!- Marshal yelled at Jared and Brooke as he helped them stood up.- We should remain calm if we want to figure it out.- Marshal explained to others as he looked really carefully at the body.- Hmmmm...It looks like Chris died because of the blow to the head. Probably with some flat object. The only thing that really concern me is why there is no blood.- Marshal stated after he inspected the body.
-Oh, I know!- Sammy yelled suddenly.- We should wake up Sam. She is a genius when it comes to mysteries.- Sammy explained and then he approached his sister and starts shaking her.- Sam! Sam! Quick wake up, we have a problem!- Sammy desperately tried to wake her but she didn't respond.- She's not responding.- Sammy finally said with fear on his face and with tears in his eyes as he covered his mouth with his hands.
-You don't mean?- Brooke asked in fear but Marshal quickly interrupted them.
-This can't be true! Move back!- Marshal yelled at Sammy as he approached Sam and when he checked her pulse his face instantly paled.- B-b-b-but t-t-t-this can't b-b-b-b-be.- Marshal stuttered out and then check her one more time.
-What?!- Sammy yelled, now fully crying with fear in his voice.
-She's d-d-dead. Looks like she was p-p-p-p-poisoned.- Marshal stuttered in fear as he moved back from Sam's body. As soon as Marshal said that Brooke fainted and fall on the floor.
-But she can't be dead! It's impossible!- Sammy yelled with tears, now covering his entire face.
-You're right! Knowing Chris it's just one big set-up!- Marshal explained, not believing that something like that could happen.- an engineer is probably steering this thing, and could be counted upon for aid. Duh. Jared, try the phone to the engineer!- Marshal ordered Jared and he immediately run towards the phone at the wall and he called the engineer.
-Hello? Hello?! Nobody's answering!- Jared yelled with fear to them.
-We're trapped! We're all gonna die!- Sammy yelled as he curled up and sat on the floor.
-Is everybody here really that gullible?- Nova asked others, with annoyed look on her face.- Yeah, Chris and Sam just happen to croak right here in front of us, and we can't reach anybody?- Nova explained to others as she approached Chris's body and kicked him- He's probably not even dead!- Nova yelled angrily as he kicked him one more time.- I only watched when you guys had to jump out of a plane. You guys were in that episode. Doesn't anyone remember that there was no plane?- Nova asked others as she kicked Chris one more time.
-Well...you're right.- Jared replied to her as she kicked Chris once more.
-I guarantee the crew is just shaking the train car. And the window view is a holographic projection. This is obviously all make-believe. And that Sam is helping Chris just to win the reward for herself.- Nova calmly replied to everyone and kicked Chris one last time.
*Confessional-Sammy*
The camera shows crying Sammy in the confessional.
-But what if Nova is wrong and there is a killer amongst us? Did somebody really killed Chris and... Sam?- Sammy asked with fear and sadness in his voice.- Someone from us killed my little sister! How dare they?!- Sammy, now angrily yelled.- No more nice Sammy! I will make them pay! I swear Sam, I will find your killer and I will make sure they'll pay for what they did.- Sammy explained with the most serious face he could make.
*Confessional ends*
-Oh shut up Nova!- Sammy suddenly yelled at Nova with anger in his eyes.- How can you be so sure about that, huh?!
-Because I have a brain!- Nova replied, looking annoyed by Sammy doubting her.
-No way! I didn't know!- Sammy sarcastically replied to Nova and then continue.- Jared!- Sammy yelled and Jared approached him.- Here! Draw Chris's shadow outline thing, just like they do in the movies.- Sammy ordered to Jared as he handed him a red lipstick.- I, on the other hand, will look for fingerprints.- Sammy explained as he pulled out a blusher and start looking for fingerprints on the tables around.
-Marshal, climb out of the ceiling hatch and go find Chef or a producer or somebody.- Nova ordered Marshal as she pointed at the ceiling hatch above them.
-Why you can't do this?- Marshal asked, looking annoyed by this.
-Because I am not as strong as you are.- Nova replied as she leaned towards Marshal and kissed him on the cheek.
-Okay.- Marshal replied surprised by what just happened.
-I know. I'm good.- Nova replied after a second.
*Outside of the train*
The camera now shows Marshal standing on the top of rear wagon, looking quite nervous. Then a ceiling hatch closed.
-Maybe I should've stick to Sammy and Jared rather than listen to Nova after all.- Marshal commented, trying to keep his balance when suddenly he noticed that the train is approaching a tunnel. He immediately gasped and fall on his knees and starts banging on the hatch.- Let me back! Quickly!- Marshal yelled but the hatch didn't opened.
*Inside of the train*
The camera went back to the compartment where now Nova, Jared, Sammy and Brooke who regain her consciousness were waiting for Marshal's return. Then Marshal's scream was heard from outside as the lights shut down once again.
-Not again!- Brooke yelled with fear in her voice.
-Ouch! Somebody kicked me!- Nova complained.
-Ooops I think I kicked somebody.- Sammy replied, sounding like he isn't even caring.
-Just be calm everyone!- Jared suddenly yelled and in the same moment the lights went back and Marshal fall from the ceiling, all covered in scratches and with messy hair.
-The train is real. Definitely.- Marshal commented and the lied down on the floor.
-If this is real.- Sammy started as he approach the doctor bag left by Chris.- And if Sam is really dead and we are trapped here, then somebody here must be...- Sammy explained as he took out a magnifier from the bag and he put it before his eye.- The murderer!- Sammy said with really deep voice.
-Are you for real?- Nova asked, still not convinced by the whole ''murder'' thing.
-Of course!- Sammy explained to her with anger in his voice.- After all my sister got... Murdered!- Sammy said once again with deep voice.
-Aaaaaahhhhhh! Bodies disappeared!- Brooke yelled as she pointed at the places were previously the bodies were lying and the camera showed that indeed the only thing that was left were outlines made by Jared.
-But that can't be! Bodies can't just disappear!- Jared replied with shock.
-You're all idiots!- Nova yelled.- This is a setup. Marshal, go check to see if he's in one of the other compartments.- Nova once again ordered to Marshal and he left the compartment in order to check for other people.
-You can't be serious Nova! We need to do something really productive! Which means figuring out who murdered Sam and Chris!- Sammy yelled at Nova which caused her to look really pissed off.
-You idiot! Can't you see it's all just a setup! A farce! An illusion!- Nova yelled back at Sammy when suddenly Brooke stepped in between them.
-Guys, stop! Arguing won't help us now! We should look for evidence if we don't wanna be... Murdered!- Brooke said the last word with a deep voice just like Sammy was doing it earlier.
-For the last time nobody get murdered!- Nova yelled at both of them.- You know what? Leave me alone!- Nova yelled and went towards the left side of the compartment.
-Guys! Quick! Look what I found!- Jared yelled to them as he was now kneeling before the outline and then he pointed at the dirty blonde hair lying on the ground.
-No way!- Brooke stated.
-It's one of Marshal's hairs!- Sammy loudly commented in shock.
-Of course! Marshal wasn't in the compartment when bodies disappeared!- Jared explained when suddenly Marshal returned to the compartment.
-Hey, guys! Bad news, I didn't find anyone.- Marshal explained and then noticed that everyone except for Nova is looking suspicious at him.- What happened when I wasn't here?- Marshal asked, looking quite surprised.
-These idiots think you killed them.- Nova explained, looking really annoyed by the whole situation.
-Chris refused to give Nova a reward, which clearly upset her.- Brooke started.
-And she's your love interest.-Jared continued.
-That's called a motive!- Sammy ended as Marshal now looked even more surprised than before.
-Love interest? She made me go up on the roof and she stole my prints and DNA! And she kicked me in my private place more times than I can count!- Marshal explained as Sammy took handcuffs from the doctor bag and then all three of them starts cornering Marshal.
-Guys! Listen! That hair could fell off when I was inspecting Chris's body! I didn't do it!- Marshal explained to them while taking a few steps back.
-They all say that! Get him!- Sammy ordered as Brooke and Jared continue to approach Marshal.
*Five seconds later*
The camera now shows Marshal, with frown on his face, sitting on the floor, with one half of the handcuffs placed on his left hand and other one placed on the doorknob to the other compartment which immobilized Marshal from moving.
*Confessional-Sammy*
-Why suspect Marshal? Any good detective knows fifty percent of the time, the husband or wife is whodunnit. The other fifty percent of the time, butler did it and there is NO way that Jared did it.
*Confessional ends*
-I'll get us back to set, and then you'll be cleared. Just hang in there.- Nova whispered to Marshal while others were looking around the compartment.
-So, you do care about me.- Marshal replied with smirk on his face.
-Shut up!- Nova replied to him.- I still can't believing they prefer listening to Sammy rather than me.- Nova whispered with frown on her face as the camera turned towards the others talking together.
-We still need to figure out how the killer was able to move to bodies at once.- Sammy said and he frown when he said two.- We also need to find a murder weapon.
-Oh, blah blah blah blah.- Nova interrupted him.- This is the same person who easily manipulated by Kirsten, Marshal and even by Brooke.- Nova explained.- Doesn't it make more sense to help me try to get us off this train?- Nova asked others.
-If I do, will you divide the reward between you and me?- Jared asked with smirk on his face.
-Fine!- Nova finally said in defeat.- And congratulations on being too sensible to listen to Sammy.- Nova commented.
-Yeah? Well, what do you know? I could be just as right about this as anybody. And what did you meant by Brooke manipulating me?- Sammy asked and Brooke suddenly started to look really nervous.
*Confessional-Nova*
-I must admit I was slightly scared that the murders were real, myself. But I need to be strong if I want to win this show! And now I also saw the opportunity to divide them and make them argue with each other. I am genius!
*Confessional ends*
-Oh, you didn't know. It was her who proposed the idea of eliminating Nate ad Andrew to both me and Marshal.- Nova lied and Sammy immediately gasped.- That's right. The true is that she didn't even care about you or your stupid sister. All this time, she was on our side.- Nova explained to Sammy with smirk on her face.
-What?! It can't be!- Sammy yelled, looking really confused.
-Oh, but it is. Sorry that you had to learn that this way. Really disappointing I must say.- Nova commented and then walked away, leaving confused Sammy alone.
-Is this is true, Brooke?- Sammy asked his friend with sad face.
-Well...- Brooke started but didn't know what to say.
-So it is.- Sammy simply commented and turned around from Brooke as he crossed his arms. Brooke then tried to place her hand on Sammy's shoulder but he immediately turned around and pulled Brooke away from him.
-Don't touch me!- Sammy yelled with tears forming in his eyes.- And don't talk to me either! I will find out the truth behind these deaths alone!- Sammy explained as he walked away towards the left side of the compartment.
*Confessional-Brooke*
-Why did Nova do that?! How could she?! Now Sammy is heartbroken and it is my fault! If Nova thinks she can get away with that then she's wrong!
*Confessional ends*
The camera now shows Nova and Jared looking at the hatch at the bottom of the train.
-What do you think about that?- Nova asked Jared.
-Someone should check it up.- Jared suggested.
-I will check.- Brooke suddenly said as she approached them.- But only because I want to win this. Not because I want to help you win.- Brooke explained as she send Nova an angry glare while Nova just rolled her eyes.
In the next few seconds camera shows Brooke, upside down, looking through the hatch at the floor.
-I don't see anything remarkable.- Brooke explained to others loudly.
The camera then turns towards Marshal, who is obviously looking really bored, as he is looking around and he suddenly notice something silver under on of the tables near the place of Chris's death.
Huh? What is this?- Marshal asked when suddenly the lights once more shut down.
-Not again!- Jared explained.
-What is happening, guys?- Brooke asked still, looking through the hatch.
-It was you?!- Marshal yelled when suddenly the big thump was heard and the lights come back.
-What just happened?- Brooke asked as she returned and closed the hatch in the floor.
The camera then focus on Marshal, lying unconscious on the floor, with something orange on head, while everyone gasped.
-Marshal, not you too!- Sammy yelled as he check Marshal's pulse and then he sighed with relief.- He's still alive. He is only unconscious which means someone tried to kill him.
-What?!- Nova yelled.- This is ridiculous!
-Ewww... What is this on his hair?- Brooke asked, looking definitely disgusted. The camera then shows Sammy inspecting Marshal's head really carefully when suddenly he gasped.- Now I understand!- Sammy yelled and then he stood up.
*Few minutes later*
The camera shows Sammy standing in the middle of the compartment while Brooke, Nova and Jared are currently standing before him on the right side of the compartment while Marshal still s lying unconscious on the floor.
-So, you said you figured out who the killer is?- Nova asked Sammy as she raised her eyebrow.
-Right! May I present to you evidence A.- Sammy said as he pulled out an empty package after a cheese crisps.- A package after cheese crisps that Nova got from Chris as a reward. I you compare the orange powder from inside the package to the one found on Marshal's hair then it's clear that it is one and the same powder.- Sammy explained and everyone gasped.
-You mean that... Nova did it?- Jared asked, looking really surprised.
-She had a motive.- Brooke commented after awhile.
-So she's the killer!- Jared added after the moment.
-No that's wrong!- Sammy interrupted Jared before he could say anything more.-Is Nova really a killer? As much as I would like to believe that, I'm not sure if it's the truth.- Sammy explained to others.
-See! Even an idiot like Sammy know that I am innocent!- Nova explained.
-And that's lead us to evidence B.- Sammy stated as he pulled out Marshal's hair they found earlier.
-Is that Marshal's hair?- Brooke asked in confusion.
-Are you saying that it was Marshal after all.- Nova asked, surprised.
-No, because this hair has been planted in order to send our suspicious towards him.- Sammy explained calmly.- And Marshal have the alibi for the time when body disappeared. He was on top of the train, remember?- Sammy reminded to the rest of the contestants.
-But this didn't prove Nova's innocence.- Brooke stated, looking suspiciously at Nova.
-Well, no but evidence C does.- Sammy explained and the corrected himself.- Well, more of a testimony A.
-Testimony? Whose testimony?- Jared asked, looking quite surprised and nervous in the same time.
-Marshal's testimony.- Sammy explained while others just looked at him, not knowing what he meant by this.- Before lights came back and before Marshal was attacked he screamed "It was you?!".
-So what?- Jared asked.
-It's because he sound surprised.- Sammy explained.
-What do you mean surprised?- Brooke asked.
-It mean that he wasn't expecting that particular person to be the killer.- Sammy explained.
-This still doesn't prove Nova's innocence.- Jared interrupted, looking really nervous.
-But testimony B prove it ultimately! Before lights shut down you were busy looking at the hatch on the floor. In the same time I was talking with Marshal and he revealed to me a very interesting thing. He said that he believed that Nova killed Chris and was using him in order to setup everything so we would think of him as a killer!- Sammy explained while Nova gasped.
-How could he think I was the killer?!- Nova yelled angrily.
-Well, you were acting a little suspicious.- Brooke commented after awhile.
-He wouldn't scream in surprise if he already knew who the killer was!- Sammy stated.- Which means Nova wasn't the killer!- Sammy explained.
-Then who was?- Nova asked, looking quite bored by this waiting.
-For you to understand I need to go through this case from the beginning.- Sammy explained and then continued.- Chris brought us here together for a suspicious party and left Jared with us to be our personal butler just for this night. Marshal then asked Chris for some wine and when Chris said yes Jared placed a bottle of wine on the tray on their table. After Marshal drunk all of his wine, Nova, who was sitting with Marshal, wanted to eat some of the cheese crisps she previously won bit accidentally she spilled them out on the previous mentioned tray. Then she ordered Jared to take the tray away. Then the lights shut down and when they returned then we discovered Chris's and Sam's bodies. Jared also said then that he lost his tray. On both bodies there were no sign of blood. Only the signs of their injuries. Chris's fatal blow to the head and Sam's poisoning. After some time Nova ordered Marshal to check the top of the train. After he went up the lights shut again and after they came back both bodies disappeared, dragged by killer away. We then thought, wrong of course, that Marshal did it, so we handcuffed him. After some amount of time Brooke decided to check the bottom of the compartment and in the same time the lights shut down for the third time, which means that Brooke couldn't do it either. But before lights shut down must've discovered the murder weapon that's why the killer had to get rid of him. The lights shut down, Marshal screamed his last sentence in surprise and fell unconscious. After the lights come back we find out the orange powder on Marshal's head. The same powder that probably was left on the tray after Nova spilled the crisps on them, which left the tray covered in the mentioned powder and this means only one thing. The murder weapon was nothing other than Jared's tray. The killer had to hide it after they commit the murder, so we wouldn't find out about his crime, and the only person who could have that tray before the murders even occurred was the killer himself!- Sammy finally ended the whole story and then turned towards Jared.- Isn't that right, Jared?!
-What!?- Jared yelled, looking really surprised and nervous.
-Wait a second. You're saying that Jared did it?!- Brooke asked, looking really surprised.
-He wasn't working alone. He had an accomplice!- Sammy explained after a second.- After all how he could transport two bodies at once.
-But who was the accomplice then?- Nova asked, not believing what is just happening.
-It was Sam.- Sammy said with sadness on his face.
-What?! But she's dead!- Brooke yelled and then covered her mouth when she realized what she just said.
-It was one thing which Nova actually got right.- Sammy explained.- Sam's murder was faked by Sam herself in order to keep her away from suspicions! It's the only possible way! As I pointed before either Marshal or Nova couldn't be involved. The same goes for Brooke. The only other possibility is that Sam's murder was fake from the very beginning! There was no trace of poison or any other weapon that could kill her after all.- Sammy stated with determination in his eyes.- I just don't know why she helped you?
-You don't understand anything!- Jared finally yelled.- Chris deserved to be killed! And Sam accepted my offer when I said her that I know where Chris stores million dollars.- Jared explained everything but was immediately interrupted by Sammy.
-Get him!- Sammy yelled and in the same moment Chris and Sam entered through the compartment doors with theirs fake bodies.
-Oh, I really had you guys.- Chris explained as he starts to laugh.- I look good in rubber, don't you think? Cracker jack special effects, dudes.
-Sam!- Sammy yelled as he run towards his sister and hugged her.- Don't you dare do this to me ever again!- Sammy yelled to his sister as he starts crying.
-I'm sorry Sammy, I really didn't wanted to do that but Chris forced me to.- Sam explained after a second.
-Please don't do this ever again!- Sammy said to his sister and she nodded.
-And it was brilliant! Just imagine how big ratings will be after today's episode!- Chris explained with smile on his face.- Nonetheless, the winner of today's reward challenge is the person who solved the crime. And that person is Detective Sammy!- Chris announced as he raised Sammy's hand into the air.
-Me, really?- Sammy asked looking really surprised.
-No! This isn't fair!- Nova yelled in annoyance.- I won two portions already! I was the one who knew you and Sam weren't dead. He couldn't even tell the difference between a human being and a rubber dummy! Besides, Jared didn't do anything. It was all one big farce!
-It would be great but the challenge was to discover the culprit and how did the crime happened and Sammy did everything he was supposed to do. He discovered that Jared killed me and that Sam was an accomplice. If he didn't do that then Sam would win as a killer.- Chris explained to Nova after a second.- And the reward that Sammy will be enjoying tonight is a night at the movies with a friend of his choice.- Chris announced to Sammy who now looked really surprised.
-Oh! It's been so long since we've been to the movies together.- Sam commented, looking sure that her brother will choose her.
-What is happening?- Marshal suddenly regain his consciousness and Sammy immediately approached him.
-I just won the movie night with friend of my choice.- Sammy explained to Marshal with smile on his face.
-Oh, great.- Marshal sarcastically replied and rolled his eyes.
-What's with that face? Look, I'm sorry that I believed Jared and accused you of being the killer. I want to make it up to you. Wanna go to the movies together?- Sammy asked Marshal as he released him from the handcuffs as everyone else gasped while Marshal just smirked.
*Award Ceremony Stage*
The camera shows a big screen placed on the stage, currently displaying one of the zombie movies with Chris, in the main role.
The camera then focused on Sammy and Marshal sitting together in the audience, eating popcorn and watching the film.
-Isn't great! It's like we're new BFWFFL! Best film watching friends for life!- Sammy explained while Marshal, looked rather annoyed.
-Yeah.. keep saying that to yourself.- Marshal replied.
-Look, I bring you here because I want to thank you. I solved this crime thanks to you, you know.- Sammy replied after a moment as he took a bite of his popcorn.
-Okay. Thanks then... I guess.- Marshal replied to him as an awkward silence occurred between them.
*Confessional-Sammy*
-I really should've brought Sam. At least we'd have something to say to each other. But it was a good strategistical, logical move. Because it messed with Nova's head. I said it before, no more nice Sammy. Everyone will go down!
*Confessional ends*
*Confessional-Nova*
-This is not fair!- Nova angrily yelled.
*Confessional ends*
*Confessional-Sam*
-How can I be mad at Sammy? Quicker, he should be mad at me for what I did today. By the way watching Nova be jealous was the best! Especially when she tried to pretend she didn't care.
*Confessional ends*
*Confessional-Nova*
-Who cares? Heh. Not me. I couldn't care less! Heh. Not if I tried to care less. I do not...care.- Nova explained and not even few seconds passed she yelled loudly.- Nooo!
*Confessional ends*
*Award Ceremony Stage*
The camera now focus on Chris watching the film.
-I gotta tell you. It's great t be able to share some quality time with someone who really gets me. Popcorn? No? Really though. It's a relief to be with someone I actually like.- As soon as Chris said that the camera revealed that he was sitting next to the rubber version of his body.- And you've got the most adorable nose.- Chris said and then he noticed the camera turned in his direction and starts to chuckle nervously.-You're here. Uh, well, um... Tune in next time for more movie madness on Total. Drama. Action!- Chris announced as the episode ended.
Well I must say that so far I think it was the most serious chapter I wrote so far. I don't really know what should I say about this chapter. Jared was the killer and Sam was an accomplice. If some of you didn't realized it Sam's challenge was to help Jared with the murder and don't be revealed. But it doesn't matter because Sammy won fair and square. Also Sammy's outburst in the middle was important for the future so please don't hate me for that :D
As for your opinions. What do you think about this chapter? Did I explained how everything occurred properly? I had some problem with writing Sammy's monologue so I'm not sure. Do you liked Sammy's win? Was some parts of the episode not clear for you? Is your OC still in character?
