Episode #3: Trying to be a Hero
--------------------
(Previously on “One Life”)
(Shot of Felik falling to the floor dead)
Jenkins VO: There is one captain whom you should never sail with for doing so will only end in despair and treachery…
(Shot of Captain Parter)
(Shot of Police Officer #1)
Police Officer #1: Why is your window open?
Dr. Mesina: My window’s open?
(Shot of Kill)
Kill: Don’t nobody put their hands on my brother.
(Shot of Anthony)
Anthony: Could we cut a deal?
Dejon: What?!?
Anthony: So you know about Dr. Mesina’s time travel experiments, right? We could split the profit 50/50.
(Shot of Ronny)
Ronny: It worked! I went back in time!
(Previously ends)
(Fade to Dr. Mesina talking to the two police officers)
Dr. Mesina: So you’ve checked the premises? There’s absolutely no one here?
Police Officer #2: Yeah, we’ve checked everything except the basement.
Dr. Mesina: Well, that’s not necessary. I just came from there. There’s no one down there, I assure you.
Police Officer #1: Hmm…it’s strange. Nothing’s been stolen, and as far as we can see, the burglar has fled the scene.
Police Officer #2: Is there anyone who may intend to do you harm?
Dr. Mesina: No…not that I can think of.
(The police officers get ready to leave as we cut to…)
(Anthony and Dejon walking down the street)
Dejon: Could you elaborate please? I’m a bit confused as to why you’d break into somebody’s house over time travel.
Anthony: It’s complicated. Hey, look, there’s a 7/11. I need to use the restroom. You need a snack or anything?
Dejon: Yeah, I’m gonna get something to eat.
(Cut to Anthony and Dejon entering the store)
(Dejon heads over to get a hot dog)
(Cut to Anthony entering the restroom)
(He pulls a cell phone out of his pocket and dials)
Anthony: Hello? Yeah, this is Anthony. I kinda accidentally told somebody about the time travel thing…I thought he was some government agent or something the way he was throwing punches but he’s just some punk kid…Yes, I know I need to take care of him…No, I don’t have one…Okay, could you meet me at the 7/11 on Northern and Bellevue?
(Cut to Anthony leaving the restroom)
Anthony: You ready?
(Dejon takes a bite of his hot dog)
Dejon (muffled): Yeah, sure.
(Cut to Anthony and Dejon leaving the store)
(Another person enters as they leave and slips something into Anthony’s pocket)
Dejon: So, what were you saying?
Anthony: There are too many people here. We gotta go somewhere where nobody can overhear the conversation.
Dejon: All right.
(Cut to Dejon and Anthony entering an alley)
(Dejon looks around the alley)
Dejon: I don’t think anyone can overhear us now.
(Anthony walks behind Dejon and pulls a gun from his pocket)
Anthony: Too bad for you.
Dejon: What?
(Dejon turns around but Anthony hits him in the face with his gun)
(Cut to Anthony standing over the unconscious Dejon)
Anthony: This is what you get for trying to be a hero.
(Anthony aims the gun at Dejon)
(Anthony breathes heavily a few times)
(Anthony finally sighs and leaves the alley leaving Dejon alive and unconscious as we cut to…)
(Bartholomew looking out at the sea)
(Captain Parter walks up next to him)
Captain Parter: You look like you’ve got low spirits, Mr. Jenkins. Tell me what’s on yer mind.
Bartholomew: How do you do that? Sneak up on people without them noticing?
Captain Parter: ‘Tis a trick I learned from years of this kinda work.
Bartholomew: I was just thinking about the book my father left me.
Captain Parter: Oh, really? What’s it about?
Bartholomew: His life, adventures on the sea…things of that nature.
Captain Parter: Ha! That’s enough adventures to fill quite a few Bibles, isn’t it?
Bartholomew: I guess so. Tell me…what exactly do you do on this ship?
Captain Parter: We do lots of things, Mr. Jenkins. We deliver certain packages, sail a few courses, plunder a few towns.
Bartholomew: WHAT?!?
Captain Parter: I said we deliver packages and sail courses…are you deaf?
Bartholomew: No, I thought you said something about plundering something.
Captain Parter: Plunder? Like some kind of pirate? Never may the name Captain Parter be associated with such lawlessness.
Bartholomew: But…
Captain Parter: Why, to connect me with such depravity is slander! Don’t spread such rumors. It’s bad for morale. Ye hear me, Mr. Jenkins?
Bartholomew: Yes, sir.
Captain Parter: Ye got a good head on yer shoulders. Don’t lose it.
(Captain Parter walks away chuckling to himself as we cut to…)
(Ronny speeding through town)
(Words Onscreen: 8:10 A.M. January 1st, 2008)
(Ronny stops at the stop light)
(Cut to another car speeding towards the intersection)
Ronny: Yeah, you speeding idiot. Not gonna put me in the hospital this time…
(The light turns green but Ronny waits until the car speeds past)
(Cut to Ronny driving through)
Ronny: Now to stop my son before he kills somebody.
(Cut to a truck driver falling asleep at the wheel)
(The truck swerves into Ronny’s lane)
Ronny: Oh my…
(Ronny swerves and hits a tree)
(Cut to the truck hitting another car head-on)
(Inside the driver, FRANK MESINA, gets crushed by the impact)
(Cut to Ronny in the hospital room from the pilot episode)
(Ronny slowly opens his eyes)
Nurse: You’re fortunate to have survived without any serious injuries.
Ronny: OH CRAP!
(Ronny jumps out of the bed and runs into the hallway)
(Cut to Ronny running out of the hospital)
(Cut to Ronny running past Dejon riding home on a bicycle)
(Ronny runs to the school and sees Melvin being put into the police car)
Ronny: I was…too late.
(Ronny puts his head in his hands as we cut to…)
(Dejon and Wilson in Wilson’s room)
Dejon: Somebody started shooting at us and then we went to the 7/11 and Anthony hit me in the back of the head and I woke up in the freakin’ alley!
Wilson: Whoa…slow down. He said something about time travel?
Dejon: Yeah. And I’m gonna find out what in the world he was talking about. I’m going back to that house.
Wilson: Man, Donny’s brother is looking for you! I heard that Kill was shooting at somebody last night! Seems like it was you. This is not a good idea.
(Cut to Dejon walking over and starts up Wilson’s Playstation 3)
Dejon: You always think my ideas aren’t good…and you’ve had nothing but Motorstorm ever since you got this stupid console.
Wilson: Whatever. I’ve got Assassin’s Creed in my mom’s car. I’ll be right back.
Dejon: Hurry up. I’ve been wanting to play that.
(Cut to Wilson leaving the house)
(He knocks the gate open angrily and goes out to the car)
(Cut the gate shutting back and making a rough scraping noise)
(Wilson gets the game from under the seat)
(He goes back to the gate and tries to push it open)
Wilson: Ah crap. It’s broke. Hey, Dejon!!
(Cut to Dejon playing Motorstorm with the volume all the way up)
Wilson: This is bull.
(Wilson tries to push the gate open but it doesn’t budge)
Wilson: It’s too early in the morning for this.
(Cut to two shady characters walking down the street)
(Wilson notices them but tries to focus on the gate)
(He moves it back and forth)
Wilson: Come on! Open!
(Wilson glances back and sees one of them has a long object at their side)
(Cut to a shotgun hanging there)
Wilson: Oh no. Please, no. OPEN! DEJON! DEJON!!!
(Cut to the two people getting closer to Wilson)
Thug #1: Hey, you!
(Cut to Wilson running off down the street)
(Cut to Dejon hearing a shotgun blast over the loud volume)
(He runs towards the window)
(Dejon looks out but the street is empty)
(A loud knock is heard at the back door)
Wilson: Dejon! Let me in! Hurry up!
(Dejon runs to the back door and opens it)
(Cut to Wilson entering the house shivering)
Wilson: Man, they had a shotgun! I can’t believe this!
Dejon: What happened?
Wilson: Probably some of Kill’s thugs. They shot at me! I had to run for my life! Now I’m a target too. And if I’m a target, that means they’re coming for anybody you know! I cannot believe this.
Dejon: Calm down. Do you have Assassin’s Creed?
Wilson: What the…? Forget about Assassin’s Creed!! I was shot at because of you! What are you going to do about this?!?
Dejon: Well…there’s only one way this can end. I’m gonna have to kill Donny’s brother.
(They stand there in silence for a second)
Wilson: You’re not serious…are you?
(Cut to Ronny exiting the time machine)
(Words Onscreen: January 2nd 2008 2:00 A.M.)
Dr. Mesina: WHAT HAPPENED?!?
Ronny: Has anything changed?
Dr. Mesina: No! Except my window was open for some inexplicable reason, and instead of the school shooting that STILL happened by the way, now my son is dead from a car crash! What did you do?!?
Ronny: I got into a car accident.
Dr. Mesina: The same one from this morning? You idiot!
Ronny: Look! I never agreed to do this. But now that I realize it’s possible…I see why you wanted me to do it. And, no, it wasn’t the same car accident. I managed to avoid that one. A truck swerved into my lane for no reason! I had to swerve and get out of the way. I hit a tree.
Dr. Mesina: Wait…did the truck keep going?
Ronny: I don’t know. I was UNCONSCIOUS!
Dr. Mesina: My son was hit by a truck. The news says the truck driver fell asleep at the wheel. Oh my god. You realize what this means?
Ronny: No, I don’t realize what this means.
Dr. Mesina: By avoiding your first car accident, you created another. If your car wasn’t blocking my son’s view, he would’ve seen the truck coming and avoided it. The truck driver would have probably hit a bump and woke up. That’s probably what happened when you got in your first car accident.
Ronny: So what do I have to do?
Dr. Mesina: You have to avoid both accidents.
Ronny: But what if I create a third?!? What if this keeps going and going?
Dr. Mesina: Then we’ll keep going and going. Anything to save my son.
Ronny: What if it’s destiny? This isn’t just about your son! This isn’t just about you!
Dr. Mesina: But you don’t believe in destiny!
Ronny: I didn’t believe in time travel either!
Dr. Mesina: Look, this isn’t just about saving my son. It’s about saving yours too.
Ronny: This is insane.
Dr. Mesina: Will you help me?
Ronny: Yes…I have no choice. This isn’t just about me either.

(Shot of Dejon)
Dejon: I’m breaking into that house! I don’t care what you say.
(Shot of Ronny)
Ronny: I’m going to be ready this time.
(Shot of Captain Parter)
Captain Parter: You’re too young to understand the way us seafarers do things.
Bartholomew: I’m not gonna let you hurt her.
