INT - MED SHOT - ANTIQUES STORE - FRONT DOOR
Jeremiah Jameson enters the store. FX: DING
He nods to the cashier, who nods back.
He walks past the cashier, straight to the back.
He stops before a velvet-covered door.
He reaches into a pocket and pulls out an ancient brass key.
He inserts the key into a keyhole and twists.
He puts the key back into his pocket and opens the door.
INT - MED SHOT - TEMPLE OF PHOBOS - DOOR
The door leads to a large room set up as an ancient Greek altar room, albeit extremely spartan. There is litte more than a brazier, an altar, and an engraved circle.
As Jameson enters the door his attire changes from a formal suit to a Grecian kilt and sandals, with a knife at his side.
He lights a brazier that illumiates the roon.
He walks up to the altar and kneels.
He cuts hs hand.
The blood pours over the altar.
JAMESON
I summon thee O Lord of Darkness, Son of War and Brother of Terror. I beseech ye Phobos to appear before me!
The lights dim a little and and the circle glows.
A shaodw forms and quickly coalesces into PHOBOS, a thin, wiry youth in dark robes similar to a Grecian noble.
PHOBOS
I am here, supplicant.
JAMESON
Master, the first item has been secured and hidden.
PHOBOS
Did The Amazon see you?
JAMESON
No, Master. The distraction was well-played.
PHOBOS
Excellent.
JAMESON
I have a lead on the second item and thrid item. They should be secured over the next two nights.
PHOBOS
Excellent. I assume agents have been lined up?
JAMESON
Yes, Master. I am using a mercenary organization to secure the second item and will use a museum employee for the third.
PHOBOS
It sounds as if everything is going apace...
JAMESON
It does, Master. Even the master device has been assembled and merely awaits the three items. Once all three items have been assembled we can summon you permanently.
PHOBOS
And then the fun can really begin.
Phobos smiles and fades out.
Jameson gets up.
He bandages the wound.
He leaves through the door, his former attire re-asserting itself.
DAY - INT - SECURITY ROOM - MAIN DESK
Diana, in jeans and a blouse, is looking at a number of different screens.
She looks at a clipboard.
DIANA
Interesting.
She puts the clipboard down.
She leans back in the chair.
DIANA
The Ring of Hades was the only thing stolen. But it's useless without the Pendant of Zeus and the Bracelet of Poseidon, both of which have been lost for centuries. Intentionally lost.
She leans up.
DIANA
Guess I need to do some investigative work.
She stands up.
She looks over at a seurity guard.
DIANA
Thanks for your time.
SECURITY GUARD
No problem, ma'am.
Diana walks out of the room.
INT - MED SHOT - VERY NICE BEDROOM - ETTA
Etta is just waking up.
Someone is taking a FX: SHOWER.
She is smiling as she stretches.
She gets up and starts dressing.
ETTA
(shouting)
That was wonderful.
MAN O,S,
Yes, it was.
ETTA
I hope we can continue this wonderful experience later.
MAN O.S.
I could live with that.
Etta pulls a card out of her pocket.
She looks around for a moment.
She smiles as she spies his drawers, with a Greek vase on top of it.
She balances the card on the lip of the vase.
ETTA
I need to go, but I'm leaving my card behind.
MAN O.S.
Ah, but is that your real number?
Etta smiles deeply.
ETTA
Of course.
MAN O.S.
Then I shall have to use it. (beat) May I call you after work?
ETTA
Yes, you may.
MAN O.S.
Then I will.
ETTA
I await your call.
She walks out of the bedroom.
As she leaves and closes the door, the man walks out of the bathroom in a towel.
He quickly finds the card and picks it up.
He looks at it carefully.
MAN
Oh, use it I shall, Miss Candy.
He smiles as he puts the card down.
