(Fade to a portrait of a man and a woman and a child; the man’s face is torn out of the portrait)
Narrator: At the dawn of the Age of Enlightenment, an age of advancement and revolution, there was a man whose works shocked the stable and sensible men of his time. His philosophy was unheard of, his manner of reasoning quite unreasonable. He believed that man, being a conscious and intelligent being, did not deserve one lifetime of mistakes that they could never fix. He felt that man should be able to travel through eons of time and experience everything that life had to offer, not be tied down to one life. Doing so, he proposed that, with enough work, man should be able to travel through time. It was an idea that even the most controversial of the scholars shunned. It was an idea that was not put in the history books, but mocked in rowdy bars by drunken men. It was an idea that cursed the creator of it with a social stigma and that turned him into an outcast of society. But, not everyone took his work lightly. There were three other men who felt connected to the works of this man.
(Fade to a farmhouse)
Narrator: They felt that his works were so relevant that they traveled all the way to his hometown to meet him. At first, he was shocked that they had come all the way to meet him, but soon the shock wore away and he began to discuss theory with them earnestly. That night, they all agreed that the four of them would work towards making a machine that would be able to transport humans through time: a time machine of sorts.
(Fade to black)
Narrator: On January 13th 1701 at 4:32 a.m., the first time machine was completed. At 9:01 p.m., about 17 hours after completion, all four men had died.
(The title “One Life” appears on the screen)

(Ronny is in a bed bandaged up and bruised, but looking all right)
(A nurse is standing at his bedside holding a tray of food)
Nurse: You’re awake, Mr. Martin. You were in a pretty bad collision. But, you’re making a full recovery.
Ronny: Am I seriously hurt?
Nurse: No…the doctor will be here in a few minutes to check up on you. Here…I brought you something to eat.
(She lays the tray of food down on his lap)
Ronny: Thank you.
(She leaves the room and he takes a sip of orange juice)
(The doctor, DR. MESINA, enters)
(Mesina looks like he hasn’t gotten any sleep in a while)
Dr. Mesina: How do you feel, Mr. Martin?
(It is the same voice as the narrator)
Ronny: A little sore.
Dr. Mesina: You’re absolutely fine. You’ll probably be out of here by tonight.
(Ronny smiles as we cut to…)
(A young man, DEJON MICHAELS, leaves his house)

(He rides it all the way to his school: Franklin High)
(Dejon gets off his bike and heads to the front door of the school)
(A gang of kids are standing outside and their leader, DONNY RED, blocks Dejon from entering the school)
Donny Red: Dejon, I heard you’ve been saying things. Talkin’ a whole lot of crap about how you’re not afraid of me. Isn’t that right, boys?
(his crew murmurs in agreement)
Dejon: Hey, man, I don’t say things about anybody. Just let me go to class.
Donny Red: Listen, punk. I don’t know exactly what you’ve been saying, but from now on, you answer to me, got it? You’re gonna pay me everyday, startin’ with whatever you got in your wallet.
(Dejon sighs and takes his wallet out. He takes $15 dollars out and hands it to Donny)
Dejon: Now, could you let me go to class?
(Donny steps aside while counting the money)
Donny: See ya tomorrow, chump.
(Dejon enters the school)
(Cut to lunchtime)

(A young man, BARTHOLOMEW JENKINS enters a room, his clothing very reminiscent of period times)
(Onscreen the date “January 1st 1654” is displayed)
(A voice calls out from the back of the room)
Voice: Why do you want to work on my ship?!?
Bartholomew: Are you Captain Parter?
Voice: WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK ON MY SHIP?!?
Bartholomew: Um…I’ve always had a love for the sea, sir. And I’d be willing to work very hard…
Voice: Eh, yer workin’ hard be cursed. What do you mean by love of the sea?
Bartholomew: I…like boats. I like sailing over the water and watching the waves.
Voice: Ah…KID’S STUFF! All of it! I suppose you’ll be wantin’ nautical nonsense under the sea or some other mermaid fantasies. Tell me what you mean and be quick about it, or get out!
Bartholomew: I am entranced…by the sea. The smell of the salt water…it captivates me. The beauty of the sea captivates my heart and soul, Captain. Working on the sea has been a dream of mine since childhood, for I am entranced by all that God has given us in the vast majestic wonder of the sea. My father used to set sail before he died and I used to see his ship sail off into the horizon. I have had dreams of sailing off into the horizon, sir.
Voice: Is your last name Jenkins?
Bartholomew: Yes, it is, sir.
(A man, CAPTAIN PARTER, emerges from the darkness. He has a peg leg and an eye patch over his eye)
Captain Parter: Welcome aboard, son.
(Bartholomew’s eyes widen in joy and amazement as we cut to…)
(Dejon sitting in the principal’s office)

(He leaves the school and gets on his bike)
(We pan up to a classroom on the third floor of Franklin High)
(Inside, the students are yawning as the teacher, MR. ANDREWS, talks about American History)
Mr. Andrews: And, in 1492, Christopher Columbus…
(one of the students whispers to Wilson)
Student: What happened to Dejon?
Wilson: I don’t know. I’ll have to talk to him after school.
Mr. Andrews: …three ships, the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. These ships were...
(the door bursts open and a young man, MELVIN MARTIN, stands in the doorway)
Mr. Andrews: Melvin?
(Melvin doesn’t reply)
(He pulls out a gun and starts firing)
(Cut to black and the screams of students)
(Fade to Ronny sitting in his bed)
Dr. Mesina: …out of here by tonight.
(Ronny’s phone rings)
