Destiny's A Bitch part 2

INT: The Lair

Tommy's POV from the ground. Everything is blurry but we can kinda see Merton, screaming right at the camera.

Merton: Tommy, can you here me?

Merton fades out and we are left with darkness.

INT: The Dark Spiral

Tommy appears in a swirly dark place with nothing but him.

Tommy: Hello?

His voice echoes.

Tommy: Oh, this sucks, this sucks, this sucks!

A hand grabs his shoulder in a comforting gesture. The camera pans over to show that the hand belongs to the dead Dr. Lazarus.

Dr. Lazarus: Oh, it's not so bad once you get used to it.

(Theme Song)

EXT: Street, Night

Allison runs savagely through the lawns of residential houses. She looks back and snarls, then continues to run.

INT: The Lair

Merton and Lori run up to Tommy's body.

Lori: Oh God, what the hell happened?

Merton: I don't know, it was just so fast.

Lori: Well what kind of demon was it?

Merton: It wasn't a demon.

Lori (checking his pulse): Okay, he's still alive, but we better get him to a hospital quick.

Merton: Okay, I'll get the car.

INT: The Dark Spiral

Tommy stands in the center of the room with Dr. Lazarus standing next to him.

Tommy: So, this is death huh?

Dr. Lazarus: Yep, in all its spender.

Tommy: Seems kinda nice, a little boring maybe.

Dr. Lazarus: Oh, this isn't everything. There's a whole lot more you have to see.

Tommy: Sounds exciting.

Dr. Lazarus: It is.

Dr. Lazarus starts to walk in a non-specific direction with determination.

Dr. Lazarus: Come along Mr. Dawkins, or we'll be late.

Tommy: Is that the way out?
Dr. Lazarus: Not hardly, but trust me, it'll be fun.


Tommy follows the doctor.

Tommy: Well of course I'll trust you, you only did try to kill me when you were alive.

INT: Hospital Room

Merton sits by Tommy's bed with Lori standing beside it on the other side.

Merton: So, you came back.

Lori: Yeah.

Merton: Any particular reason?

Lori: I wanted to help Tommy.

Merton: What, did you get another vision?

Lori: Yeah, guess I was too late.

Merton: Guess so.

Lori: Merton, what happened tonight?

Merton: I don't know.

Lori: What did this to him.

Merton: I don't know the thing that did this, I thought I did but I was wrong.

Lori: What are you talking about?


EXT: Mausoleum, Night

Two robed werewolves stand outside the Mausoleum looking in. Allison comes up behind them and pulls them inside.

Allison: Didn't your mother ever tell you not to spy on evil werewolf dens?

She pulls him inside.

INT: Hospital

Lori is sitting down, blown away by something she has just heard.


Lori: That's not possible Merton, why would she do this?

Merton: I don't know, why don't we go ask her.

Lori: Where is she?

Merton: Well, you can bet not at her house. She goes missing for days on end, I don't think she's coming back at all now.

Lori: It doesn't make any sense.

Merton: Nothing ever does around here, didn't you know that?

Lori: I haven't been gone that.

Merton: Long enough.

Lori: I'm gonna go, get a hotel room. You gonna be all right?

Merton: Yeah, I'm just gonna stay here a little bit longer.

Lori: This is going to be fine, he's gonna pull, he always does.

Merton: I know.

Lori leaves and closes the door. Merton looks down at Tommy, unsure despite his previous confidence.

INT: Same Hospital Room, Empty and Surreal

Tommy stands next to the bed with his unconscience body in it.

Tommy: Damn, I'm even sexy dying.

We cut back to the bed and The Leader is sitting on top of the body, like a cat about to pounce.

Leader: It's a big day Tommy, my coming out party, you shouldn't be lying down on the job.

Tommy: Hey, I'll work how I want to work.

Leader: Well I'll just have to have a talk with your superiors.

The Leader fades away and Tommy turns to leave.

Tommy: Good luck.

INT: Dark Spiral

Tommy now stands in the dark place again and starts to follow Dr. Lazarus into another part of the dark place almost identical to the first except for the body lying dead on a gurney in the center of the room.

Tommy: Hey, that's me.

We pan over to reveal that it is indeed another Tommy Dawkins.

Dr. Lazarus: Yes, it certainly is.

Tommy: I don't look too good.

Dr. Lazarus: It doesn't bode well for our hero.

Tommy: How do you think this is gonna go down.

Dr. Lazarus: I don't know, could go either way from this point, but we all know what I'm rooting for.

Tommy: I really don't want to see this right now.

Dr. Lazarus: Fair enough.

The doctor gives the gurney a violent shove and it flies off screen.

Dr. Lazarus: Well, we've seen this side of the spectrum, why not the other?

Tommy: You're the creepy spirit guide, lead on.

Dr. Lazarus trudges on with Tommy in tow.

INT: Hospital Room

Merton is asleep in his chair. It is morning and he has stayed in the same spot all night. A hand shoves him awake.

Becky: Merton?

Merton jerks awake.

Merton: I'm up, I'm up. Hey Becky.

Becky: Hey Merton, how's everything?

Merton: Not so good actually.

Becky: How's he?

Merton: Stable. He hasn't moved much, not at all really.

Becky: Merton, what did this, was it that creature?

Merton: You wouldn't believe it.

Becky: Oh God, so it was her?

Merton: Lori told you?
Becky: No…

She tries to get out the words but can't. Just than, Gideon from the holy order comes in through the door.

Gideon: The rest of my men are outside, I've come to assess the situation.

Merton: I'll give you the short version, it sucks ass!

Gideon: That girl you spoke of, she did this?
Becky: Yes, Allison Walker.

Merton: Becky, don't…

Gideon: She will pay for her evil.

Merton: We can handle it.

Gideon seems unsure.

Gideon: Very well, but I will stay in town, just to be sure.

Merton: Fine, whatever.

Gideon leaves the room.

Becky: It's going to be all right.

Merton: Everybody keeps saying that.

Becky: We'll find her.

Merton: And then what? Kill her?

Becky: She's a monster, that's what we do.

Merton: No, that's what I do; anyway, it's not a monster this time, it's a person.

Becky: You don't know?

Merton: Know what?

Becky: Allison's a werewolf.

Merton slowly shifts into an expression of shock.

INT: The Lair

The same scene from Destiny's A Bitch part one; Allison stabs Tommy with the long knife. The screen flashes back to…

INT: The Dark Spiral

Tommy and Dr. Lazarus stand in front of a giant window, like an exhibit at a museum or zoo, with a nursery inside.

Tommy: I know this place.

They walk right through the mirror and into…

INT: Nursery

Tommy and Dr. Lazarus don't seem to be noticed by the two parents in the room, the mother holding a small baby in a blanket. Incidentally it is the same baby as in Tommy's dream.

Tommy: Is that me too?

Dr. Lazarus: Yes it is, cute aren't you?

Tommy: Yeah I am.

He goes over and choo chee choos his baby self; the parents who we now see as Tommy's parents don't seem to notice.

Tommy: Awww.

Dr. Lazarus: Just adorable, it's unfortunate to know what becomes of him.

Tommy: I think I turned out pretty good.

Dr. Lazarus: Yeah sure, and that's why you're here with me.

Dr. Lazarus starts to walk away from the scene and back into the darkness.

Tommy (following him): You haven't really told me where here is exactly.

INT: Dark Spiral

Dr. Lazarus: The explanation would be equally disturbing and cryptic.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, and the owls are not what they seem.

Dr. Lazarus: You'll find that most pop culture references will be lost on me.

Tommy: Is that cause you're dead?

Dr. Lazarus: No, I was always quite dull and out of touch to tell you the truth.

Tommy: Oh.

Dr. Lazarus: Let's move on.

EXT: Hospital, Day

Gideon motions for his men, now in a combat ready van, to drive off. He then stands at the side of the entrance, standing guard. Lori comes up and passes by him.

Lori: Excuse me.

She enters with little difficulty.

INT: Hospital Room

Lori enters the room with Merton and Becky watching over Tommy.

Lori: So, any change?

Becky: No, nothing yet. Hey Lori.

Lori: Hey Becky, have the doctors examined him yet?

Merton: Yeah, they said it was a deep cut but that there's no reason why he should be like this.

Lori: Then why is he like this?

Becky: We think that the knife used to stab Tommy was silver.

Merton: She planned this out to compensate for his super healing.

Lori: Wait a minute, Becky knows?

Merton: Yeah, it's a long story.

Becky: I saw him change.

Merton: Okay, not that long.

Lori: So you're part of the group then?

Becky: Not really.

Merton: So did you find a place?

Lori: Yeah, there aren't that many motels in Pleasantville.

Becky: So what are we gonna do?

Lori: What do you mean?

Becky: Well, we can't just sit here and do nothing. Doesn't this seem like the kinda thing we normally do stuff after?

Lori: What can we do.

Becky: I know one thing we can do.

Merton: No.

Lori: Am I missing something?

Becky: I say we take the offensive and get Allison, hunt her down before she causes more trouble.

Merton: We can't do that.

Becky: Why not?

Merton: Because shes…

Becky: What, your girlfriend? She's evil.

Merton: We don't know that yet.

Becky: Well I think we can make a pretty damn good guess.

Lori: Hey Merton.

Merton: What?

Lori: You said she used a knife right?

Merton: Yeah, so what?

Lori: Well, the demon I saw in my vision used its claws to kill Tommy.

Becky: You get visions? That is so cool.

Merton: Yeah, we killed a big bug demon before you came in; it was after Tommy to fulfill some prophecy.

Lori: What was it exactly?

Merton: The book called it the Dark One, a being summoned to kill the savior, which is Tommy.

Lori: But it didn't, Allison did.

Becky: Then…what was that thing?

Merton: Just a random monster? It couldn't be, the holy order had a description of it.

Lori: What's the holy order?

Merton: I'll explain later.

Becky: I think we should check this out.

Merton: What about Tommy?

Becky: Tommy's not going anywhere. If something else is after us that we didn't even know about, I say we find it before it sends another bug thingy to eat us in our sleep.

Merton: Maybe I can get Gideon on it.

Lori: Who's Gideon?

Merton: He's the head of the holy order of werewolves.

Lori: Okay, from now on I'm just going to except everything I hear at face value and assume it makes sense to someone somewhere.

Becky: That's really for the best.

Lori: Okay, so I'll get on this unknown demon thing and you guys watch over Tommy.

Merton: Yeah sure, but get some help, I don't want anyone else going down on my watch.

Lori: When did this become your watch?

Merton: You've been gone a while, we've all matured just a little bit. I'll look into a way to help Tommy, flush the silver out of his system.

Lori: Good. So what's this Gideon guy look like?
Becky: Oh, he's right outside, penchant for the all-black.

Lori: Gotcha. I'll see you guys later.

Merton: Bye.

Lori leaves the room.

Becky: So what are we gonna do about her?
Merton: What are you talking about?

Becky: You know, the evil werewolf who we all know and love.

Merton: I guess we're gonna have to find her.

Becky: Now you're speaking reason. Where do you think she is?

Merton: No idea.

Becky: Than I think I do.

INT: Mausoleum

The two robed werewolves are tied up in chairs, badly beaten, with Allison standing in front of the both of them with a billy club.

Allison: Good morning fellas.

One of the werewolves spits out a tooth.

Allison: Now that's not polite.

She whacks him hard across the face with the billy club and he goes unconscience.

Allison: So, I guess we can assume how he's feeling, but how about you (to the 2nd werewolf)?

Wolf 2: I guess I'm fine.

Allison: Well, do you feel like we've treated you fairly here?
Wolf 2: Sure, whatever.

Allison: Good. Now it's time for you to do a little job for me, I mean now that we've gotten to know each other and become such good friends.

Wolf 2: Okay.

Allison: Who's your master?

Wolf 2: Um, you?

Allison: No please, I'm not into the dominatrix crap. I meant in the Syndicate.

Wolf 2: Oh, her name's Deirdre, she's new.

Allison: She doing a good job?

Wolf 2: Not really. We're all a little disappointed to tell you the truth.

Allison: Good to hear.

Wolf 2: Is that it? Do you want to get her job or something?

Allison: No, but my boss has kind of a revenge thing going on. We need your help to infiltrate the system.

Wolf 2: I really can't do that, I could get kicked out and I'm almost up for a pension.

Allison: Don't worry about it, we'll keep it all on the up and up.

Wolf 2: I don't know.

Allison: Oh come on, who's the one with the billy club here.

Wolf 2: Okay, I'm fine with that. Now, could you possibly untie me?

Allison: Sorry, no time. Places to be, people to seriously mess with emotionally.

She gets up and walks out; leaving the wolves tied up. Out of the shadows, two yellow eyes shine.

Leader (voice from the shadows): Hello there.

The conscience werewolf appears frightened.

EXT: Junkyard, Day

Tommy stands at the center of the junkyard, the wind whipping his hair.

He sees the runic cross standing in front of him with a strange cocoon growing on it. The cocoon starts to hatch but Tommy runs away. As he runs, the scenery changes: day becomes night and rubble becomes leaves until we are in…

EXT: Woods, Night

Tommy runs up into the woods and catches up to Dr. Lazarus.


Dr. Lazarus: Come along Tommy, I'm kind of on a schedule here.

Tommy: Sorry, I keep getting caught on twigs.

Dr. Lazarus: This next thing is very important and we can't stand to miss it.

Dr. Lazarus stops at a clearing and Tommy catches up. We now see that they have come to…


EXT: Camp Fire Scene, Night

Tommy and Dr. Lazarus walk in on Tommy and his senior buddies on a camping trip, as originally shown in the Pilot.

Tommy: Oh, I get it. This is me when I got bit, right?

Dr. Lazarus: Yes Tommy, one of the defining moments in your life.

Tommy: Wait up, Kyle does something funny here.

Just as the past Tommy leaves, one of the jocks takes a big swig of something that looks suspiciously alcoholic, then punches himself in the stomach to make the stuff shoot out of his mouth and into the fire. The fire goes out completely and another jock pushes Kyle in the shoulder. Current Tommy starts to laugh.

Tommy: Well, I guess you had to be there.

Dr. Lazarus: But you weren't there. See?


Tommy looks over and sees his other self walking off in the woods. When we pull away from a close up of current Tommy, we are now deep in the woods again with past Tommy stumbling through. Current Tommy watches his former self.

Dr. Lazarus: If only someone could warn him of what's about to happen.

Tommy: Could that work? Could I…?

Dr. Lazarus: No, these are only memories after all. But the fact that you considered it is all I wanted.

Dr. Lazarus starts to leave.

Dr. Lazarus: Come along, we've much more to see.

Just as they leave, the werewolf pounces past Tommy.

INT: Werewolf Syndicate, Deirdre's Study

Deirdre is reading a large book at her desk when a knock is heard from her door.

Deirdre: Come in.

Regis opens the door.

Deirdre: Ah Regis, any news to report?

HE comes up and sits in the chair.

Regis: Actually some rather big and happy news. Tommy Dawkins, the bane of our collective existences, has been taken out of commission.

Deirdre: Really? How?
Regis: Apparently it was that girl, Allison.

Deirdre: Well this is interesting.

Regis: Good interesting, right?

Deirdre: Perhaps not.

Regis: How so?

Deirdre: Tommy Dawkins is a hero, which does not suit our cause, but he is also fallible and easy to control. We can not be sure that the next true blue hero will be the same way.

Regis: Deirdre, are you actually saying you want him to stay alive?

Deirdre: I think so.

Regis: Well think about it some more. He is lying in a hospital bed as we speak and his friends are helpless along with everyone else in this town. With Tommy out of the way, we can rule.

Deirdre: Regis, I kinda have this big and intricate evil plan coming together, so could you please just do as I say and keep Tommy alive.

Regis: What sort of plan is this? I see you with all these files and tomes but you aren't really doing anything. Every so often you mess with their heads or tap their egos when you could just as easily kill them all and take over.

Deirdre: You're too impatient dear Regis, these things take time.

Regis: I'm telling you, they really don't. You want to take over Pleasantville right now? I'll get some people on it and we can start after lunch.

Deirdre: Regis, please, calm down and listen. I am completely in control of the situation and that is how it is going to stay. If you really want to help, there is something you can do for me.

Regis: Anything.

Deirdre: This girl is getting to be a problem, be a dear and bring her in for me.

Regis: You can count on me, Deirdre.

Regis excitedly leaves the room.

Deirdre: Yes old friend, I can.

EXT: Woods, Day

Lori and Gideon walk into the area where the werewolf was killed in DAB part one. Lori walks right into a spot of dead grass where the body was.

Lori: So what are we looking for?
Gideon: Anything that would suggest a nest or feeding ground.

Lori: What does this thing eat?
Gideon: Well…

Lori: No, let me guess, people?

Lori looks deep into the woods to the caves that we saw in the opening scene of part one.

Lori: What about over there?

Gideon: It's as good a place as any to start.

INT: Caves

Lori and Gideon walk into the dark cave set from the last episode.

Lori: Now this place just screams evil nest.

Gideon: I agree, especially with the dead demon body.

He points to the body of the demon from the last episode, its back blown out.


Lori: You know, it's not a great trip back home to Pleasantville unless you see a demon corpse.

Gideon: This is a Howler, they don't normally dwell in damp areas like this.

Lori: They're normally mountain monsters.

Gideon: You study demonology?
Lori: Just a hobby.

Gideon: Let's look for the beast's storage den, there could still be some survivors.

Gideon starts to go down another cave.

Lori: Wait up.

Gideon waits up.

Lori: What's that (pointing to a wall)?

Gideon: I'm not sure.

They go up to the wall and we now see that it is covered in writing from some dead language.

Gideon: It looks like a spell of some kind, maybe to bind the creature here.

Lori: Or, to summon something else.

INT: Dark Spiral

Tommy runs up to Dr. Lazarus to catch up with him. When he does, he finds the dead Tommy on the gurney in the center of the room.

Tommy: Look, I'm sick of this crap. Just stop for a second.

Dr. Lazarus: We don't have time.

Tommy: Why are we in such a hurry.

Dr. Lazarus: I'm losing you and you're losing yourself.

Tommy: You mean I'm dying.

Dr. Lazarus: Yes, and you just might unless you let me help.

Tommy: Why would you want to help me?

Dr. Lazarus: Tommy, I'm dead now. I don't hold on to petty mortal grudges.

Tommy: Really, cause I would.

Dr. Lazarus: There are more important things now.

Tommy: Well, I really don't feel like playing "This Is Your Life" right now so if you'll just leave me alone or point me to the exit, that'll be fine.

Dr. Lazarus: Okay then, have it your way. The exit is that way (He points to a non-descript spot) I hope you enjoy yourself.

Dr. Lazarus disappears. Tommy starts to walk in the direction he pointed when the body on the gurney sits up. Tommy turns around to see his double and sighs.

Tommy: Oh fine.

The gurney Tommy (who we will just call evil Tommy for now) jumps off the slab and he comes up dressed in all black leather.

Evil Tommy: That's a lot better.

Evil Tommy hauls off and punches Tommy in the face.

INT: Hospital Room

The camera pans from the hallway and into Tommy's room. The room is empty except for him until Allison enters, brandishing a knife.

Allison: Hey Tommy.

((Commercial Break))

Allison brings the knife down towards Tommy's chest but a werewolf hand catches her arm. We pan back to see that Regis has grabbed Allison and is holding her back.

Regis: Sorry darling, as much as I want what you were about to do, we have other plans in mind.

Regis pulls her off screen.


EXT: Graveyard, Day

Merton and Becky walk through the gravestones toward the mausoleum.

Becky: I followed Allison here a couple of days ago, she looked like she was setting up shop here.

Merton: Of course, she'd naturally pick my clones old haunt because we'd think it was empty.

Becky: I don't really know about that. She was talking to some other guy; he looked like he lived here though.

Merton: Another guy? Behind my back?
Becky: Merton, Tommy has just been mortally wounded by this woman and your only concern is that she might have cheated on you.

Merton: How could she?

Becky: Because she's an evil werewolf!
Merton: Becky, there's something you have to learn if you want to fight evil with us.

Becky: What's that?

Merton: It's not always as easy as "this one's good and this one's evil". There are shades of gray.

Becky: There's no shade of gray about this; Tommy's hurt and someone has to be held accountable.

Merton: You have to watch that, the Clint Eastwood crap can get you killed real quick.

They get up to the Mausoleum and see the two werewolves tied to a chair. They are not wolfed out however.

Merton: Oh crap, now she has hostages.

Becky: I don't think she's in there.

Merton: Should we save them?
Becky: Of course, isn't what we do?
Merton: No, it's what me and Tommy do.

Becky: When are you gonna stop with that?

They go into the mausoleum.

INT: Mausoleum

Merton and Becky kick the door to the mausoleum in and rush inside.

Merton: Hello?


The two werewolves appear to be unconscience.

Merton: Are you guys all right?

He goes up to the 2nd werewolf (the one that talked) and checks his pulse.

Merton: He's dead.

The 2nd wolf jerks awake and Merton jumps.

Merton: I really need to learn how to check a pulse.

Wolf 2: What happened?

Merton: You've been kidnapped by my girlfriend, now you're in her creepy graveyard sanctuary, tied to a chair.

Merton starts to untie the werewolf.

Wolf 2: So you're Merton.

Merton: She mentioned me?

Wolf 2: Yeah, she's kinda psycho about you actually.

Merton: Really? Psycho in what way?

Wolf 2: Psycho in the "I'm a crazy werewolf who wants to kill everyone I know" kind of way.

Merton (dissapointed): Oh.

Merton finishes untying the werewolf and he wolfs out.

Merton: Whoa!


Merton jumps back. Becky brings out a crossbow.

Merton: You know, you could have mentioned that you were werewolves before we rescued you.

Wolf 2: Yeah, but then you'd have a better chance.

Becky (bringing up the crossbow): Ease up buddy, now just back off or you can meet Mr. Silver Crossbow Bolt.

Merton: Why did you bring that?

Becky: I thought I'd come prepared. We are hunting a werewolf aren't we?

Merton (to Wolf 2): Not you, someone else. (To Becky) But we weren't going to kill her!

Becky: Maybe you won't but I'm not letting Tommy die for nothing.

Merton: Look, let's just talk about this later.

Wolf 2: Oh no, don't stop on my account, I don't mind to wait.

Merton: No really, we can do that later.

Wolf 2: So we fight now then?

Merton: Actually, I was thinking we could run.

Merton grabs Becky just as she shoots the arrow, which hits the other werewolf in the shoulder, and they both shuffle out of the mausoleum.

Wolf 2 (Yelling): You'll never stop the summoning, when the master rises you will all be judged. (Thinking for a minute) I should probably go after them.

The Leader comes up behind him.

Leader: No, they'll come to us.

INT: Hospital Room

Lori runs up to Tommy's room to find it empty.

Lori: Merton? Damn.

Lori turns to leave and Tommy sits up.

Tommy: Lori?

Lori: Tommy?

Tommy: I need your help.

Lori: You're alive, wait I have to find Merton.

Tommy: No, it's not like that. Just listen to me please. Something big is about to go down.

Lori: What is it?

Tommy: You'll come to that later.

Lori: Then what do you need?

Tommy: Right now I need you to go back to the caves and protect Gideon, he's in danger.

Lori: Tommy, what's going on?

Tommy: Just do it!

Back To Reality

Tommy remains unconscience on the bed as Lori clutches her head to recuperate from the recent vision.

Lori: Oh crap.

She runs out of the room.

EXT: Street, Day

Regis hauls a tied up Allison into the back of a truck.

INT: Truck

Regis gets in the driver's side. We see that he is wearing gloves to protect him from what we now see as silver shackles around Allison's ankles and wrists, burning her skin.

Regis: Comfortable?
Allison: Not really.

Regis: Good.


Regis puts the key in the ignition and starts driving the car.

Allison: You know, this isn't very super villainy.

Regis: Yes well some times you just have to take the practical way out.

Allison starts to pull her wrist shackles apart, summoning strength from shear will.

Allison: I just mean it lacks a sort of finesse.

She breaks the shackles apart.

Regis: Well, the ends do justify the means.


Allison comes up from behind Regis and claws at his face.

EXT: The Street, Day

The moving truck swerves and crashes into a light post. Allison gets out of the truck and drags Regis' unconscience body from it.

Allison: Still, there's something to be said for a little style.

INT: Dark Spiral

Tommy struggles to stand up after another punch by Evil Tommy.


Tommy: Look, I understand your position.

Evil Tommy: Do you?
Tommy: Yes, you're my evil clone and you're feeling anxiety about being such a rehash.

Evil Tommy: Rehash?

Evil Tommy punches regular Tommy.

Tommy: Yeah, you know we already did evil clones. My best friend had one for a couple of weeks.

Evil: Actually, I was first.

He punches him again.

Tommy: Okay, I get it then.

Evil Tommy: Really, what do you have?
Tommy: You're me.

Evil Tommy: Well that's kind of obvious.

Evil Tommy attacks Tommy again but Tommy deflects it.

Tommy: No, I mean you're the bad me, the one I conjured up with that Indian chant.

Evil Tommy: You're getting closer (punch) but I was here long before that.

He punches Tommy again and he deflects.

Tommy: Look, you can just stop this.

Evil Tommy releases a flurry of DBZ type super fast punches and Tommy blocks them all. Then he chop blocks his evil double to the ground.

Tommy: I've already dealt with you.

Tommy starts to walk away in the direction he thinks is out of here. Evil Tommy gets up and wolfs out.

Evil Tommy: It's not as easy as all that.

INT: Caves

Gideon sits Indian style in front of the wall with the spell. He is shirtless and tribal paint is sprawled all over his upper torso. He is mumbling some unknown language and as he does, the words on the wall disappear. Gideon stops muttering when he senses something in the air.

Gideon: Is someone there? What do you want?

We hear indiscernible whispers in the air.

Gideon: I don't want that.

He starts to mumble again. He gets to the last line when Lori bursts in and he stops. Gideon gets up and turns to her, not seeing that the words are starting to reappear again.

Gideon: Oh, hi Lori.

Lori (impressed): Hi.

Gideon (embarrassed): I was just getting rid of the spell. The spell is…I was just…yeah, could you hand me my shirt over there?

Lori: Sure.

She tosses him a black shirt.

Gideon: So what are you doing here?

Lori: Oh, I got a vision, no specifics, it just told me to come back here.

Gideon: Am I in danger?
Lori: I don't know, that's not really how it works.

Over in another part of the cave, a mysterious hand in a leather jacket throws a flaming piece of paper on the ground and it burns up. Suddenly, the words on the wall return in full force and a giant green creature leaps out of it (the wall). The words are no longer on the wall once the creature gets completely outside.

Lori: Gideon, watch out!

The mysterious arm departs and the demon leaps on top of Gideon. Lori tries to get the demon off and it bites Gideon's shoulder instead of his head, thanks to Lori's nudging. He throws the beast off of him and onto the floor. He then picks up an axe from the ground and slams into the creature off screen so that we hear a sickening crunch sound.

Lori: Oh my God, are you all right?
Gideon: Yeah, I'm fine (wince) it's just a scratch.

Lori: Pretty big scratch.

Gideon: Do not worry.

Lori: I'm just the concerned type.

Gideon: Has Merton found anything yet?

Lori: I haven't been able to catch him.

Gideon: We should go back, if he went looking for that girl, he could be in danger.

Lori: Let's get back to the Lair, he's probably back by now.

INT: Lair

Merton and Becky burst into the lair. Merton goes straight for the weapons cabinet.

Merton: Okay, you know back there when I chastised you for bringing the crossbow?

Becky: Yeah.

Merton: You were right, I was wrong, we need fire power.

Becky: What are you talking about? It was only one werewolf. I could have taken him out right there if you hadn't been such a wussie.

Merton: Becky, trust me, that guy was Syndicate, I his symbol when he stood up. When there's one out in the open, there are ten hiding in the bushes.

Becky: So what do you think, flame throwers?
Merton: Very funny.

Becky: Look, if we need help, we can get help. Where's Lori?

Merton: She's off in the caves.

Becky: Still?

Merton: She would have called if she were done.

Becky: So, what's up with her?

Merton: What do you mean?

Becky: Well, she left, then she comes back saying she had a vision of Tommy's death? Can you say Stephen King rip off?

Merton: It's kind of why she left.

Becky: Stephen King?

Merton: The visions. She had to learn how to control them and she couldn't do that while batting off monsters with a stick every five minutes.

Becky: So, is she back for good?
Merton: I don't know. That's not important right now, I say we suit up and get back there before Allison clears out.

Becky: If she hasn't already.

INT: Mausoleum

Regis sits tied up in a chair, unconscience. He jerks awake and looks over to see the other werewolf with the silver crossbow bolt in his chest.

Regis: I could have just stayed home today but no, I had to ask for an assignment.

He looks to his front to see Allison walking up to him.

Allison: You're up.

Regis: Yes, and I'm starting to think it was a bad idea.

Allison pulls the crossbow bolt from the dead werewolf and starts to play with it in her hands. It burns her and starts to smoke but she doesn't seem to mind.

Allison: So, you want to have some fun?

INT: The Lair

Merton and Becky are just getting ready to leave, packing up weapons and so forth.

Becky: So let's just get this straight. When we get to the Mausoleum, what are we gonna do? Capture? Kill? What am I preparing for?
Merton: Capture, no killing is necessary.

Becky: I bet Tommy would think so.

Merton: Well Tommy's not here right now.

Becky: I know that. Tommy's in a hospital bed because that bitch stabbed him. Merton, I know what she meant to you but you have to face facts.

Merton: I'll come to that when I get there. Let's just go.

He pulls up a duffel bag and slings it across his shoulder. He then opens the door to walk out, almost walking into Lori and Gideon who are standing behind it.

Merton: Hey.

Lori: Oh good, you're in.

Lori and Gideon walk in.

Merton: What did you find?

Gideon: Someone was summoning demons via a portal.

Lori: It's okay, Gideon fixed it.

Gideon: I reversed the spell.

Merton: Good, one less hassle.

Lori: You look ready to go. What's with the small army?

Merton: We're gonna take her down.

Lori: So soon?

Gideon: Are you sure about this?

Merton: It's now or never, they know we know where they are.

Gideon: Wait. When I was meditating earlier, I sensed something was wrong with the universe.

Merton: Really? That's interesting. Now could you move, you're blocking the door?

Gideon: I think something important might be happening.

Becky: Come to think about it, that werewolf at the mausoleum said something about a summoning. He said we'd all be judged.

Lori: Sounds like some sort of ritual.

Gideon: That could be what I sensed.

Becky: But it was almost like he wanted us to know.

Merton: Well now we do, so good for him. Can we just go please?

Lori: Than lets suit up.

Becky: Gideon, could you get your men here for back up?

Gideon: Sorry, they're long gone by now, back to HQ.

Merton: We'll just have to make do without them.
Becky: We always do.

Merton: No, me and Tommy always do.

Becky: When are you gonna stop that?

Merton: When you're old enough to drink.

Becky: You're not even old enough to drink yet!

Lori: Okay, sibling squabbles later, we have evil werewolf ass to kick.

Merton: I'll get the car.

Becky: Yeah, you do that.

Lori: Quit it!

They all walk out of the Lair door.

EXT: The Creepy Hedge Maze

Tommy is Matrix kicked right into a new set as he is sent flying into the center of the hedge maze, destroying the chess table. Dr. Lazarus sits in a small wooden chair drinking tea.

Dr. Lazarus: How you doing there Tommy?

Tommy: Good I guess.

Tommy starts to deflect punches with ease.

Dr. Lazarus: Good to hear.

Tommy: So what exactly is the point of this?

Dr. Lazarus: What do mean?

Tommy pushes Evil Tommy away with one hand and he goes flying back.

Tommy: It's just that I don't get your motivation and your plan.

Dr. Lazarus: Well if I told you, it wouldn't be fun.

Tommy: No not that, I don't understand how you could be so stupid.

Dr. Lazarus: Actually, I kinda want to hear this. Why am I stupid Tommy?

Tommy: I know what you're trying to do. You're trying to convince me to take the death door. It's my choice and you want to make it for me.

Dr. Lazarus: Okay, lets say that's true, go on.

Tommy kicks Evil Tommy back down.

Tommy: First you just try to depress the hell out of me and expect me to what? Give up all hope? Now you just decide to sic dog boy here on me to beat a decision out of me. What are you thinking man? I am not as fragile minded or willed as you must have assumed.

Evil Tommy comes up again and Tommy grabs him by the shoulders.

Tommy: And you are just annoying. We did the evil twin thing already.

Tommy throws Evil Tommy up and off screen. Dr. Lazarus comes up behind him.

Dr. Lazarus: Well, you may be strong of will…

He pulls out a long silver knife and stabs him in the side, mimicking the last scene of the last episode.

Dr. Lazarus: But experience shows you go down pretty easy.

EXT: The Mausoleum, Dusk

The gang marches up to the mausoleum with weapons in tow.

Merton: So did we bring everything we need?
Becky: I don't know, I forgot the checklist.

Merton: I'm gonna save my anger for the fight.

Becky: That would be good.

Gideon: Shouldn't we pray or something? A safe win, perhaps?

Merton: Why? You afraid?

Gideon: No, it's just what my people do.

Lori: I really don't know any pre-fight prayers.

Merton: Tell you what, I'll think of one during the fight and if we survive, we'll say it after. We'll make a big thing of it.

Gideon: I was just asking, you don't have to be a jerk about it.

Lori: Let's just go.

They start to trek up to the door.

INT: Mausoleum

Regis is still tied up but now he is badly beaten and burned. Both of the other werewolves are present, including the one who was shot; now bearing a bandage over his shoulder. They are moving boxes of scrolls out of the secret room and into a corner.

Allison: Put them over there and then get the talismans.

Wolf 1: Yes Ma'am.

He quickly shuffles off.

Allison: How do you do that?

The Leader walks out from the secret room and into the main room.

Leader: It's pretty simple, I have a power over weaker minds.

Allison: And you can't get any weaker than these two.

Leader: Oh I don't know about that, you haven't really given them much of a chance.

Wolf 1 receives an arrow in his heart and falls to the floor. The Leader moves back into the room just as the camera moves over to the door where Becky stands with a crossbow, followed by the others.

Becky: He never had one. Let's go guys.


They all rush in.

Lori: And girl.

Becky: How ya doing?
Allison: I'm good.

Becky: How's every little thing?
Allison: It's good.

There is a long tense pause, which draws out.

Allison: Well minions? What do I pay you for?

Wolf 1 and 2: Sorry.

The minions rush up to our gang and the fight begins.

INT: The Lair

Tommy and Dr. Lazarus appear in the Lair and right into the scene where Tommy was stabbed in the last episode, only as unseen observers.

Dr. Lazarus (pulling the knife out of his side): There we go.

The wound heals instantly.

Tommy: That is really inconsiderate.

Dr. Lazarus: Yes, sorry about the knife stabbing.

Tommy: Apology accepted (seeing his surroundings) Oh come on!

The Tommy of this reality is about to get stabbed.

Tommy: What is this?

Dr. Lazarus: What? This is another defining moment in your life.

Tommy: Yeah, the last moment.

Dr. Lazarus: Exactly.

Tommy: It's just that I really don't see where this is all going.

Dr. Lazarus: You're not supposed to, not until you have to choose.

Allison stabs the past Tommy and he falls.

Tommy: Now this is what I don't get.

Dr. Lazarus: What?

Tommy: Look at this (pointing to the other Tommy on the ground) this cut isn't even that deep.

Dr. Lazarus: It doesn't matter how deep it is, it was prophesied.

EXT: Hedge Maze

Really quick scene: Tommy and Lori stand in the square.

Lori: Was it?

We cut and see the Leader appearing standing right up close behind Lori with a sinister smile.

Flash back to…

INT: Lair

It is the same scene as before.

Dr. Lazarus: Look at that sweet innocent girl over there (Allison). She just killed you.

Tommy: Yeah I know, that kinda bites.

Dr. Lazarus: Yes it does, now what do you want to do to her.

Tommy: What do you mean?

Dr. Lazarus (loosing his cool): Oh for crap's sake, she's just killed you, you are lying dead on the ground, just feel something!

Tommy: I feel kinda hungry.

Dr. Lazarus: Could you just feel something negative for once? I try to depress you, anger you, none of it works!

INT: Mausoleum

The big fight is commencing. Lori and Gideon are taking on Wolf 2 and Becky is taking on Wolf 1. Merton stands in the middle of the fray, staring Allison down.

Merton: Okay everybody, attack formation!

Becky: We have no attack formation, stop trying to sound cool.

Merton: Must you always do that?

Becky: Yes, I must.

Over on Lori's side, Wolf 2 holds his own against the both of them.

Lori: It's been awhile since I've gone toe-to-toe with a werewolf. I'm still getting the hang of it.

Gideon (dodging a blow): Hang quickly.

INT: The Lair

It is the same scene as before.

Tommy: What can I say? I don't blame her.

Dr. Lazarus: She killed you, you're here because of her.

Tommy: What's done is done.

Dr. Lazarus: Okay Tommy, then let's move on to the present.

He snaps his fingers and the environment starts to shift. Tommy and Dr. Lazarus remain stationary but the rest of their world fast-forwards until it gets to the current Mausoleum battle.

INT: Mausoleum

Tommy: That's a neat trick.

Dr. Lazarus: Depression, anger, vengeance, let's try guilt.

Tommy: What are you…?

He sees Lori.

Tommy: Lori came back.

Dr. Lazarus: That's right Tommy. She had a vision and came back to save you.

Tommy: She shouldn't have come.

Dr. Lazarus: But she did.

Wolf 2 rips Lori's throat out and she falls down dead.

Tommy: Lori!

Dr. Lazarus: Oooh, that's gotta smart.

INT: Real Mausoleum

Lori is in fact perfectly fine and Tommy is no longer here (well he might be, we just don't see him).

Merton comes up to Allison who is standing by Regis.

Regis: Hi, you must be Merton.

Merton: Do you tell every hostage about me?

Allison: Not every one.

Merton: You have got to stop this.

Allison: Why?

Merton: Because it's just the start of something really bad that I don't think you're ready for.

Allison: I'm not ready?

Merton: No Allison, your not. You're a child who's found a new game. Unfortunately this game kills my friends.

Allison: Oh yeah, that was fun.

Merton: You'll think that for a while, but it will hit you.

Allison: It's all part of the job Merton, you can't let things like guilt hold you down.

Merton: But the job is a little more complicated than that, I know.

Allison: You don't know anything.

Merton: No, I don't know anything. I don't how you could do something like this.
Allison: It was easier than I thought it would be, the knife just slid right in.

Merton: I could just chalk it up to the evil werewolf gene but even then, I can't see you having it.

Regis: You know, this is all really tragic and heart breaking, but could you just help me please?

Merton: I'll get you out of here sir.

Allison: He's no sir. Just another dog like me.

Merton: You're a werewolf?

Regis: Yeah, but I'm house trained and I don't make that much of a fuss

He mouths "help me".


Merton: Allison, stop this, let me help.

Allison: Sure.

Merton looks relieved.

Allison: Let me just do one thing first.

She brings up the same knife as before and stabs Regis in the heart. He slumps over dead.

Allison: There, easy as pie.

Merton: I can't do this.

Allison: Aw, poor baby.

Merton: You're just evil, no gray area, no shades. This is horrible.

Allison: So are we going to fight or something?


Merton brings up a crossbow.

Merton: This ends now.

INT: Fake Mausoleum

Tommy stands at the center of the melee, seeing all his friends die around him. Merton and Becky are impaled, Gideon is stabbed, Allison is shot with a crossbow, and everyone has less than a jolly time.

Dr. Lazarus: Look at all this mess. Now who's gonna clean all this up?
Tommy: They're all dead because of me.

Dr. Lazarus: No, some of them are dead because of other factors but you are a big one.

Tommy: I can't watch this anymore.

Dr. Lazarus: Fine Tommy.

He waves his hand and we go back to…


INT: Dark Spiral

Tommy sighs.

Dr. Lazarus: That's right Tommy, let it out.

INT: Real Mausoleum

Becky drops her foe and goes up to Merton who has yet to pull the trigger.

Allison: What are you waiting for?
Becky: Merton, I know this is hard but you have to.

Merton: No, this isn't how it goes.

Becky: Than I'll do it.

Allison: You are both such children.

Merton: Okay Allison, time to grow up.

He shoots the arrow and she narrowly dodges it with her super speed. In a whoosh she appears behind Merton.

Allison: Congratulations Merton, I didn't think you had the rocks.

She grabs him by the neck and gives a karate jab to his neck, hitting the right nerves to knock him out.

Becky: Why didn't you just kill him when you had the chance?

Allison: It wasn't his day.

Becky: Well yours came a while ago, wanna make up?

Allison: it isn't my day either, on the other hand…

Almost as an afterthought, Allison throws the silver knife at Gideon and hits him square in the heart just as he and Lori defeat Wolf 2.

Lori: Gideon!

Gideon: It's all right…I'm done now. Just don't…


Whatever he wanted to say is cut off by his dying.

Lori: That's it, no more killing.

Allison: Oh, just stop with the intense anger, you barely even knew the guy.


Lori jumps at Allison but she kicks her away.

Allison (to someone in her head): I got the right one? Good. (To the gang) Okay, gotta run.

The two werewolf minions who have just stumbled up start dragging Gideon's body away, running along with Allison who has since started to flee via a back exit.

Lori: We can't let them take his body.

Becky: We're in no shape to go after them.

Lori: We need to go after them.

Becky: We need Tommy.

Lori: We have to…

Becky: No. We'll get them, just not today.

INT: Dark Spiral

Tommy sits on the floor, considering his options.

Tommy: I'm dead, all my friends are dead, what is there left?

Dr. Lazarus: Death is the only constant in this universe.

Tommy: And taxes.

Dr. Lazarus: Yes, death and taxes.

Tommy: How did I let my life get to this.

Dr. Lazarus: It wasn't you. You just happen to live in a general area where monsters and bad stuff tends to dwell. You tried too hard to be the hero is all.

Tommy: They're all dead because I wasn't there.

Dr. Lazarus: Yes, that much is true.

Just then, Lori walks in through a door of light, which appears out of nowhere and stays open.

Lori: You are such a liar.

Tommy: Lori?

Dr. Lazarus: Oh, go away.
Lori: No, I'm not her exactly.

Tommy: Than where is she?

Lori: She's down there, alive like the others.

Dr. Lazarus: Don't listen to her Tommy.

Tommy: But I just saw her die.

Lori: Those are just dreams.

Tommy (to Dr. Lazarus): You magnificent bastard, you made it all up.

Dr. Lazarus: Don't listen to her, she's just a shadow.

Tommy: Lori, do you know the way out?

Dr. Lazarus: She's just a figment Tommy, she isn't real.
Tommy: Okay, figment Lori, do you know the way out of here?

Lori: Yeah, I'll get you there, come on.

Tommy starts to follow Lori back through the door of light.

Dr. Lazarus: This is a big mistake.

Tommy stops and goes back.

Tommy: Look, I am truly sorry for what I did to you. Your anger and vengeance keeps you here and that's my fault. But I will never be like you…and I'm needed back home.

He goes with Lori through the light door and it closes behind them.

Dr. Lazarus: This is just great.

Evil Tommy comes up and leans on his shoulder.

Evil Tommy: You really shouldn't have done that last part, the big lie, you're a bit of an idiot.

Dr. Lazarus: Shut up.

INT: Hospital Room

Merton, Lori, and Becky are sitting in chairs with very grim faces while Tommy lies in the same position he has been in all day. There is yet another long and tense silence.

Merton: I…

Becky: Just don't.

Merton: Sorry. (He thinks for a minute) No, I'm not.

Becky: What?
Merton: Becky, I don't want you with us anymore.

Becky: What are you talking about?
Merton: I can't do it. Two people have been hurt under my watch and one is dead, the other in a coma. I'm not gonna let that happen to you.

Becky: Here we go with the watch thing again. It isn't your choice.

Merton: Yes it is and I've already made it. I'm not letting you go out there again to get yourself hurt.

She starts to protest but Tommy's arm starts to twitch.

Lori: Oh my God, Tommy just moved.

Merton: Are you sure?

They all get up and watch the bed. Tommy starts to come out of his coma. Tommy's POV: He looks up at his friends looking down on him. They are all holding back tears.

Tommy: Hey guys, did I miss anything important?
Merton: No man, nothing much.

Becky: Pretty dull.

He looks over to Lori.

Tommy: You came back.

Lori: Yeah I did.

Tommy: You should just go back where you came from.

Lori (confused): What?

Tommy: You got out, you became something other than a chosen fighter. Just don't look a gift horse in the mouth and go back to your temple or manor or whatever.

Lori: What are you saying to me?
Tommy: I'm saying I want you to leave, for your own good.

With this Tommy goes back to sleep.

Merton: That was weird.

Lori: Let's get outta here.

Becky: I'll get the nurse.

INT: Werewolf Syndicate, Deirdre's Study

A big book almost exactly like Merton's prophecy book lays open on the desk. Deirdre is reading the book aloud.

Deirdre: "And the savior shall not be a man, but a wolf in a man's clothes. He shall die by the claw of the dark one and so bring forth the death of us all, summoned from the darkest regions of the deepest imaginable Hell". Wow that's a good read. Kind of an ironic twist though, don't you think.

The camera goes over to see first an arm, wearing the infamous leather jacket, than a hand. The thumb and index finger snap and a small flame appears on the index finger. The hand is brought up to a mouth where it lights a cigarette. We finally pan up to see that the arm belongs to our lovable warlock and D & D freak Allister (Merton's rival)(I swear, this is the last guy I'm bringing back from the show…until the season finale…and season two premiere).

Allister: Look, I don't know about all this prophecy stuff. I was hired to conjure some demons and go on my merry way, unfortunately that merry way must wait until I get my cash.
Deirdre (tossing him a stack of bills): Here is your money.

Allister: Yay.

Deirdre: I would prefer that you stay in town in case I need you again.

Allister: No dice lady, this place has never treated me right.

Deirdre: I'm planning something big this time so I will need you for more than just a distraction.

Allister: Fine, but I want double my rate.

Deirdre: Done.

Allister: So we're in business.

He sits down in a chair.

Allister: So what's this big plan of yours anyway.

Deirdre: It's complicated.

Allister: I've got time. Is it secret or something?

Deirdre: No, it's not that. It's just very intricate.

Allister: I am all up for intricate.

Deirdre: (sigh) Okay.

She pulls up an extremely thick binder with several thousand pages in it and opens it up. The cover page reads "Master Plan" by Deirdre Salinger.

EXT: Junkyard, Night

The camera tracks down a row of candles leading up to an alter where a big open coffin sits. A bird's eye view shows that Gideon is in the coffin, soaking in sacred oils and fluids. Allison comes up beside the coffin and lays a lid on top of it.

Allison: It's ready boss.


The Leader swoops in and sees the coffin.

The Leader: Very good.

He lies down on top of the coffin and ghosts through it, remaining inside as far as we can see.

Allison: Begin the process.

Over on another side, the two werewolf lackeys start to read from two scrolls and chant monotonally.

After a few seconds, they get done and all the candles flare up for a second. They wait for a few more seconds and nothing happens.

Allison: Did it work?

Suddenly the coffin bursts open and Gideon jumps out of it, alive and well.

Allison: Boss?

Gideon (as he will from now on be referred as) swoops up to her and comes up close.

Gideon: That's right, alive and kicking.

He walks over to the two werewolves.

Gideon: Thank you so much for your assistance.

Wolf 1 and 2: Thank you sir.

Gideon shoots out both his arms and they grab the two werewolves by the heads. He then snaps their necks and turns back to Allison.

Allison: How you feeling?

Gideon: It's good to be back.

EXT: Hedge Maze

Tommy and Lori are playing a final game of chess. They are on the ground as the table is broken.


Lori: So how do you like your decision?

Tommy: What, life over death? There really was no decision. You kinda made it for me.

Lori: Well, not really me exactly.

Tommy: I think it's gonna turn out right (he moves a piece).

Lori: You never know.

Tommy: At least now I can be there to watch them go.

She moves a piece.

Lori: Checkmate.

Tommy: Play again?

THE END
