    EXT. CAMP SLURPALACUMMA - DAY

    Its very cold outside. The eerie forest of CampSlurpalacumma is covered with snow. The forest is shown withits full creepiness throughout the opening credits while theMorricone-inspired theme song plays. As the song concludes,

    we see the turquoise sky glisten upon the pearly snow, and a

    single police car driving down a road.

    INT. POLICE CAR

    A police officer drive while singing along to country musicand sipping coffee. Hes an old man in his late 50s. Helooks nearly idential to the sherriff from Misery (1990),except he has a huge scar on his face that runs from hisforehead down to the opposite side of his mouth. The coplooks out his drivers side window and sees something thatconcerns him. He immediately slams on the brakes andhurriedly steps out of the vehicle.

    EXT. CAMP SLURPALACUMMA - DAY

    The police officer sees three bright objects sticking out ofthe snow; one brown, one orange, one blue. He walks over tothe blue object and gasps.

    POLICE OFFICERJesus Christ.

    The blue object is a winter coat that is covering the corpse

    of a young boy. The cop uses his sleeve to brush the snowoff the torso of the boy, revealing a single gunshot wound tothe chest. The police officer reaches in the back pocket ofthe boys corduroy pants and pulls out a Pac-Man wallet. Heopens the wallet and we see the contents. The cop holds adriving permit that reads TRUMAN WILLIAMS. The smell of therotting corpse overwhelms the police officer and he vomitsall over Truman. He recovers and crawls away.

    POLICE OFFICER (CONTD)(speaking into radio) I need anambulance at the south entrance tothe Slurpalacumma campsite.

    Theres a kid here, deceased, namedTruman Williams. Appears to bedead by gunshot wound.

    Despite what hes seen, the police officer remains calm andreserved.

    DISPATCHER10-4, emergency services are enroute to your location. Pleasestand by.

    The police officer gets up and walks to the orange object andfinds the corpse of another boy with the back of his head

    blown off. Blood and pieces of skull and brain are scatteredall over the fucking place. The police officer gagsrepeatedly, but his breakfest of coffee and donuts havealready been wasted on Truman.

    POLICE OFFICER(speaking into radio) I foundanother dead kid.

    The police officer reaches in the dead youngsters wallet andreads his school ID. The name ROGER BUFORD DOUGLAS is printedon the card, as well as a picture of him with his headintact.

    POLICE OFFICER (CONTD)(speaking into radio) This onesname is Roger Buford Douglas. Itappears that hes a student ofRoald Dahl Memorial High School.

    DISPATCHEREmergency services will be notifedof the second corpse.

    POLICE OFFICER

    Roger that.

    The police officer throws the wallet on the chest of Rogersinanimate body. He exhales deeply and sits back in the snow,relaxing while processing everything he had just seen. Afterawhile he pulls out a wallet of his own and begins siftingthrough pictures of his family. He has four young children,all probably still in elementary school, and his ugly wife.He smiles a he recollects that his innocent and adorablechildren dont have to go through an unfortunate massacrelike the two lads in front of him have. Out of nowhere, ahairy beast grabs the officers face, pulls it back, andbegins ferociously snacking on the flesh of his neck.

    POLICE OFFICER (CONTD)AHHHHHHHHH!

    The police officers scream is halted as the beast severeshis vocal chords.

    Theres red snow everywhere due to the broken veins andarteries spurting blood all over. The beast takes a hugebite out of the police officers face.

    FADE OUT.

    FADE IN:

    INT. CHILDS BEDROOM

    A little BOY of about seven or eight years old is sitting onhis floor, playing Rampage: World Tour on his Nintendo 64.The room is filled with Star Wars memorabilia and variousfamous childrens toys, such as Mr. Potato Heads, Legos, andTinker Toy sculptures. As the little boy smashes buildingsand eats terrfied people, a knock is heard on the door. AWOMAN pokes her head in the room. Shes could win a LucilleBall lookalike contest, except shes missing some teeth.

    WOMANHoney?

    BOYYeah?

    WOMANA man from the police station ishere to ask some questions aboutTruman.

    The boys face lights up with excitement as he finally gets

    ton talk with a police officer, but soon becomes worried ashe senses theres something wrong.

    WOMAN (CONTD)Honey, this is detective Branson.

    A young, sexy, and masculine man emerges from the hallway.This is detective BRANSON. You can tell he is a total badassby just looking at him. He has slicked back blackn hair, arugged complexion, and a beautiful Burt Reynolds mustache.Sunglasses cover his eyes, and hes dressed like a boss in ablack suit and a black tie. Detective Branson is truly asharp dressed man.

    BRANSONHey, little man. Hows it going?

    The young lad is in awe of how cool Detective Branson is, sohe keeps his mouth shut.

    5/22

    BRANSON (CONTD)You mind if I play your game withyou? Is it two player?

    The boy gets up and plugs in another controller to hisNintendo 64. He hands Branson the controller and they bothsit down next to each other on the floor.

    WOMANDetective Branson, would you likesome coffee?

    BRANSONYes, mam. That would be delightful.

    WOMANHow would you like it.

    BRANSONLots of cream and lots of sugar,please.

    WOMANAll right, Ill have it for you ina bit.

    The woman leaves the room and Branson takes off his suitjacket and places it on a nearby chair. He picked up thecontroller like its a foreign device that hes never usedbefore. He squints at the pause screen.

    BRANSON

    So whats your name, little man?

    BOYAndy.

    BRANSONOkay, Andy. So, what game are weplaying?

    ANDYRampage: World Tour.

    BRANSON

    Hmm. I dont think Ive ever playedthis one. What do you do?

    ANDYYou pick a monster and blow upbuildings and eat people and stuff.

    6/22

    BRANSONWow. This sounds like a violentgame. Your parents are okay withyou playing violent games?

    ANDYYup.

    BRANSONWell then play.

    Andy and Branson choose their monsters and begin destroyingcities together.

    BRANSON (CONTD)You know, back in my day, we didnthave games like this. We wouldplay games that were really simple,and some wouldnt even require abutton. Just a joystick. And wecouldnt play games at home unless

    we were rich. Most kids like mehad to save up money to go to anarcade. You ever been to anarcade?

    ANDYNo.

    BRANSONWell there were two games therethat I was a master at. Ms. Pac-

    Man and Missile Command.

    ANDYOoh, Ive played Pac-Man at my auntJennys house before!

    BRANSONOh yeah? So you know how hard itis?

    Andy nods in agreement about the difficulty of the game.

    BRANSON (CONTD)

    I spent hours and hours at thearcade playing that game. And Igot good, like real good. I got sogood that I eventually got to playfor free just because kids wouldgive me quarters just to see meplay. I ended up with the arcadesrecord for highest score in Ms. Pac-Man.

    When they finally got a regular Pac-Man machine, I got the record inthat too. Both of those recordsstood until they tore down thearcade a couple years ago.

    Andy is utterly fascinated with the story.

    ANDYThats cool! Whyd they tear itdown, though?

    Branson points at the Nintendo 64.

    BRANSONWell, now everyone plays theirgames at home, so arcades cantstay in business because they dont

    make any money.

    ANDYThats sad. Arcades sound reallyfun.

    BRANSONIt is sad. The place where I spent

    most of my childhood is gone. Butoh well, now I get to play these

    more advanced games with you. AndIm losing.

    ANDY

    No youre not! Look at the score,youre killing me!

    Branson looks at the score and he is indeed killing him. Thedoor to the room opens and the woman enters with a mug ofcoffee in her hand.

    WOMANHeres your coffee, detective. Howare you guys doing?

    Branson takes his coffee.

    BRANSONWere doin just fine, mam. Thankyou.

    WOMANYou are most welcome!

    The woman smiles at Detective Branson as she leaves the room,probably, at the fact that he gets along so well with Andy.

    BRANSON (CONTD)

    8/22

    Before she exits, Branson makes eye contact with her andreturns the smile, probably making her very wet. Branson andAndy resume playing their game.

    BRANSONSo, Andy. How do you know thisTruman kid?

    ANDYHis mom used to babysit me and I

    would go over and he would show mehis Legos and his trains and stuff.

    BRANSONYou guys were pretty good friends?

    ANDYYeah.

    Branson takes out a little notepad out of his inside jacketpocket on the chair, as well as a black pen.

    BRANSONDo you remember when you saw Trumanlast, Andy?

    ANDYA couple of days ago.

    BRANSONWhered you see him? Were you guyshanging out at his house?

    ANDYYeah, I went there after school. Ihelped him build his Star WarsLegos.

    BRANSONCool. What were you guys building?

    ANDYUhhh, we were building the DeathStar.

    BRANSONThe first one or the second one?

    ANDYWhat?

    BRANSONNevermind. Was Truman actingsuspicious?

    9/22

    ANDYWhat does that mean?

    BRANSONWas he acting strange, or was heacting weird?

    Andy, despite his young age, picks up from the tone ofBransons voice that something is wrong.

    ANDYNo, why?

    BRANSONAndy, your friend Truman has been

    missing for the last two days.

    ANDYHes gone?

    Andy is visibly shaken by the news. Hes shocked.

    BRANSONHes lost. Missing. Nobody knows

    where he is. But thats why Imhere. Im trying to find him.

    Andy begins to sob hysterically and runs into Bransons arms.Branson rolls his eyes and pulls out a cigarette whileembracing him.

    BRANSON (CONTD)

    Hey! Dont worry, little buddy.Itll be alright! You know howmany police officers are lookingfor him? Hundreds. The entirestate is looking for him.

    Branson lights the cigarette in his mouth and inhales thesmoke in the coolest way possible. God, he is fuckingradical. Andy cries a bit less hysterically.

    ANDYDetective Branson, youve got tofind him! Hes my best friend!

    Branson grabs Andy by his shoulders and gves him a stern lookright in his eyes.

    BRANSONIll find Truman, Andy. I promiseyou.

    Branson takes another long drag on his cigarette. Andy giveshim another hug.

    WOMANDo I smell smoke?

    The woman barges into the room like a crazed psycho-bitch.

    She thinks there is something on fire. But then she seesBranson. She sees her crying son in his arms while hessmoking a cigarette.

    WOMAN (CONTD)(gasp) Dont smoke around my son,you faggot!

    The woman walks up to Branson, slaps the shit out of him, andtakes the cigarette out of his mouth.

    BRANSONIm sorry, mam. I...

    WOMANGet out of my house.

    Branson exhales deeply and begins to stroll out of the room.

    BRANSONBye, Andy.

    Andy waves goodbye as the badass detective leaves.

    CUT TO:

    EXT. STREET - DAY

    A gas guzzling 1970s Chevrolet is barreling down the road,with Feels Like The First Time by Foreigner blasting fromthe speakers. The car slows down and turns into a parkinglot. The parking lot of Uncle Ricardos, a bar. Bransonstes out of the car and strolls into the bar.

    INT. UNCLE RICARDOS

    Some patrons are sitting at tables, eating wings and watchingfootball. Others are at the bar, consuming various alcoholicbeverages. The place isnt packed, but its not almost emptyeither. Branson walks over to the bar and takes a seat.

    BARTENDERHey, Branson. What would you likethis afternoon?

    9.

    11/22

    BRANSONGin and tonic.

    BARTENDERComing right up.

    Branson takes his jacket off and slings it over the back of

    the stool.

    BRANSONYou wouldnt happen to have todayspaper would you?

    BARTENDERI do.

    The bartender walks over to Branson with his druk and givesit to him, along with the newspaper from behind the counter.Branson takes a look at the newspaper, and on the front pagethere is blown up picture of Truman Williams, along with the

    words MISSING above it.

    BARTENDER (CONTD)You guys gonna find this kid?

    BRANSONWere working on it.

    BARTENDERWell maybe you guys should workfaster. Cant imagine what hisparents feel like. Ant even

    imagine someone going missing in asmall town like this. Shouldntever happen.

    BRANSONGive me a fucking break. Most ofus havent slept. What stoppingyou from going out to look for him?

    BARTENDERThis.

    The bartender shows Branson the various work activities going

    on behind the counter. Branson rolls his eyes. A televisionset above the bar begins a relevant news story.

    NEWS REPORTERResidents of Springfield areshocked and in panic by thedisappearance of a local boy.

    12/22

    BRANSONHey, could you turn it up?

    The bartender grabs a remote and increases the televisionvolume.

    NEWS REPORTER

    The boy is Truman Williams, astudent at Roald Dahl MemorialHigh. He was last seen going tobed by his mother at around 10 pmon Friday night and he wasnt inhis bed the next morning.

    Branson lights up a cigarette while watching the newsprogram.

    NEWS REPORTER (CONTD)His mother, Wendy, is with us atthe Williams home. Sheila?

    SHEILA is a fat black woman who is the reporter in the fieldfor the local news station. Shes standing next to an evenfatter white woman, WENDY, dressed in green sweatpants and anorange Tweety Bird shirt. Its white trash at its finest.

    SHEILAThanks, Darcy. Im with the motherof Truman, Wendy Williams. Mrs.Williams, Im sure youre veryupset, but could you let ourviewers know what they can do

    personally to help find your son?

    While Wendy Williams originally looks composed, she explodesin the microphone with sobs of uncontrollable crying. Shesdisgusting and obnoxious. Even for the circumstances, itseems like is way overly-dramatic.

    WENDYJust keep an eye out for em! Whenyall are takin yer kids to daycareor McDonalds, tell em to keeptheir eyes open for em! The morepeople lookin the better! I just

    miss my boy! Truman, if youre outthere and you can hear me, comeback! Whatever I did, Im sosorry! Ill change! Ill be thebest mama ever, Truman! Come back!

    13/22

    Sheila pulls the microphone away from Wendys mouth becauseher speech was getting too cringeworthy for the viewers athome. Wendy mopes off and out of the frame, still sobbinglike a three year old.

    SHEILAThere you have it, folks. A

    mother, hoping for her son to befound. Back to you, Darcy.

    The news reporter begins to ramble about some randombullshit. The bartender turns the TV back down, and Bransontakes a sip of his gin.

    BARTENDERJesus Christ. Poor kid probably

    wouldnt want to go back.

    Branson chuckles at the joke, knocks back the remainder ofhis gin, and slams the glass on the counter. He pulls outhis money clip and begins to count out his bills.

    BARTENDER (CONTD)Dont worry about it, Branson.This ones on the house.

    BRANSONOh. Why thank you.

    BARTENDERNow go find that kid. Everyonescounting on you.

    BRANSONWill do.

    Branson gets up and puts on his jacket and sunglasses. As heleaves, he hears a ruckus at the back of the bar, where allthe town rednecks play pool. Branson looks back, and sees aMEXICAN and a FAT FUCK arguing. The Mexican is dressed in a

    wife beater and his black Wranglers and cowboy boots, whilethe fat fuck is wearing a green Adidas track suit and lightblue Crocs. They both look stupid.

    MEXICAN

    Aye, Esay. You just got beat fairin square, holmes! Pay up!

    FAT FUCKIm not paying shit! I didnt evenagree to bet! I thought we werejust playing a friendly game,thats all!

    The Mexican whips out a switchblade.

    MEXICANTwenty bucks, fat ass. Put thatshit in my hand or Ill carve yourfuckin intestines out, holmes.

    Branson cooly walks toward the bickering idiots. He stopsbefore they notice hes there.

    BRANSONPut the knife down.

    The fat fuck and the Mexican both turn and look at Branson.The fat fuck is about to cry and it looks like hes about toshit his pants.

    MEXICANWho the fuck are you?

    Branson puts his hands in his pockets and relaxes like onecool cat. He then stares down the Mexican.

    BRANSONMy name is Detective RonnieBranson. There seems to be aproblem between you two gentlemen.How might I be of service?

    MEXICANTell this homeboy to pay the fuckup. I just beat his ass in

    billiards and...

    BRANSONPUT THAT FUCKING KNIFE AWAY. IMNOT GOING TO ASK YOU AGAIN.

    Bransons bluntness and tone of voice scares the shit out ofthe Mexican, but even moreso the fat fuck. The Mexican putsthe knife back in his pocket. Branson takes another longdrag of his cigarette and points to the only other bar PATRONnear the pool tables.

    BRANSON (CONTD)

    You. Did you hear anything about abet between these two?

    PATRONUh, no. No I didnt.

    BRANSONWell, I guess its your wordagainst his.

    Im sorry, but there is notsufficient evidence to neutralizeyour burden of proof. Now put yourhands behind your back.

    MEXICANFor what?!?!?!

    BRANSONWhat the hell do you think? I justsaw you pull a knife on this guy.Thats threatening with a deadly

    weapon. And a felony. Put yourhands behind your back.

    The Mexican swings a punch at Branson. Branson dodges thepotential blow, grabs the Mexicans hand, and slams his ownelbow into the back of the Mexicans elbow, which promptlysnaps the Mexicans arm.

    MEXICANAHHHHHH!

    Branson shoves his ass to the ground and fastens handcuffsaround his wrists.

    BRANSONNow you got assaulting a policeofficer and resisting arrest too,dumb ass.

    FAT FUCK

    Thanks, detective.

    BRANSON,Dont mention it.

    Branson escorts the Mexican out of the bar.

    FADE TO BLACK.

    FADE IN:

    INT. MOTEL ROOM

    The motel room is dark and depressing. Clearly, itsprobably the cheapest motel one could possibly go to. Itsdaytime, but the shades are up, making the room dark. A boy,TRUMAN, is sitting on a chair, bounded to it by hundreds oflayers of duct tape. Hes sitting in front of a table withnothing on it but an empty cereal bowl. Suddenly, two menburst through the doorway, BIG DAVE and GUS.

    16/22

    BIG DAVEThe kid still here?

    Gus flips on the light near the doorway. Its clear whichone is Big Dave. He weighs over 400 pounds, has a red

    mullet, and is missing several teeth. Gus looks like a run-down meth addict. Gus looks over and sees Truman still

    sitting there.

    GUSSill here, Big D.

    Big Dave walks over the Truman and pours a bag of donut holesall over the table.

    BIG DAVEHeres your breakfast.

    Big Dave picks up three of the donut holes and shoves them inhis mouth all at once before turning on the black and whitetelevision set to a telecast of The Price is Right. Gusremains leaning against the wall by the door, regularlylooking outside of the window. Truman begins to scarf downthe donut holes at a fascinating rate.

    GUSKid likes them donut holes.

    BIG DAVENo shit.

    GUS

    Key kid, why dont you talk?

    Truman continues to dominate the donut holes.

    GUS (CONTD)Hey, kid! I asked you a question!

    Truman flinches and stops eating. Hes terrified.

    TRUMANBecause Im afraid you guys aregonna kill me.

    The two men explode with laughter.

    BIG DAVEWhyd ya think were gonna kill ya?

    GUSWe aint no kid killers!

    Big Dave and Gus howl with laughter even harder. Trumanwaits until they calm down.

    TRUMANWhyd you guys take me then?

    Big Dave and Gus look at each other quickly before exploding

    with laughter again.

    BIG DAVEWe didnt take ya to kill ya. Wetook ya to use ya!

    TRUMANWhat do you mean?

    BIG DAVEWe, me, and my friend Gus here, arefugitives from the law. Wehappened to break outta statepenitentiary a few days ago, andneeded ourselves a hostage in case

    we get in, ya know, a little stickysituation.

    GUSCops aint gonna shoot when yourein front of us, kid.

    Big Dave and Gus laugh.

    TRUMAN

    When are you guys gonna let me go?

    GUSAs soon as we cross the border.

    TRUMANThe border to where?

    GUSThe real land of freedom. Maplesyrup, hockey, universal healthcare. Canada!

    BIG DAVEO Canada! O Canada! O Canada!O Canada!

    TRUMANWhy are you going to Canada?

    BIG DAVEI just told ya were fugitives fromthe law! Aint ya ever heard ofcriminals like us running off theCanada to escape jurisdiction?

    GUS

    Dude! You planning on telling himeverything about us? Shut the fuckup, why dont ya?

    BIG DAVEHes not gonna say shit.

    Big Dave turns to Truman.

    BIG DAVE (CONTD)Are ya?

    TRUMANIm not going to say anything! Ijust wanna go home! I miss my mom!I promise Im not going to sayanything! Jut please take me home!

    Big Dave exchange unsympathetic looks while Truman calmsdown.

    GUSHow are we supposed to know thatyoure not gonna go rat us out?

    Truman tries to come up with an answer, but ultimately cannot. Hes silently but extremely frustrated about not givinghis captors a good reason to let him go. He continues to

    weep. Big Dave shows indifference to his feelings andreaches over to take some donut holes. He grabs a few andstuffs them in his mouth.

    GUS (CONTD)Dont worry, kid. Youll be fine.Remember, were not here to hurtyou. Once we get up to Canada

    well let you go. I promise.

    Big Dave takes a big gulp of soda from the Mega Buddyfountain drink on the nightstand. He belches loudly, ruiningthe somewhat heartfelt moment between Gus and Truman. Gussighs loudly. He pats down his pockets.

    GUS (CONTD)Shit. Im out of cigarettes. Imgonna run out and get some. Needanything, Big D?

    GUSWho cares? Are you fuckingretarded? We dont even know thedamn kid and youre just gonna takehis word for it?

    BIG DAVEWell shit, man! He seems like a

    nice kid who wouldnt lie to us!

    Gus looks at Truman.

    GUSTruman, what are our names?

    TRUMANHow do you know my name?

    GUSYoure all over the news, dumb ass.Now what are our names?

    Truman begins to say something, but he hesitates.

    GUSShit! God damn it!

    Gus knocks a lamp of the nightstand. It shatters against thewall. Truman breaks out in tears again.

    BIG DAVE

    Jesus Christ, Gus. Youre anasshole.

    Big Dave casually takes another drink from his Mega Buddy.

    GUSWatch him until I get back!

    Big Dave takes another sip from his Mega Buddy. Gus stormsout of the room.

    BIG DAVESorry about him, kid. If I had it

    my way, we wouldnt be dealing withhim.

    TRUMANWhy dont you have it your way?

    BIG DAVEI owe him.

    Big Dave finishes off his Mega Buddy and throws the empty cupacross the room. The wto sit there in silence, bothcompletely emotionless.

    TRUMANOwe him for what?

    BIG DAVEYou dont wanna know, kid.

    Big Dave slumps down into a sleeping position and drifts offinto a slumber.

    FADE TO BLACK.

    FADE IN:

    EXT. MOTEL ROOM PARKING LOT - MORNING

    A really old and shitty Dodge Ram pulls up to the rundownPink Flamingo hotel. It parks and outsteps Gus, holding acarton of cigarettes and a bottle of orange juice.

    He walks up the outside stairs to the second floor of themotel and strolls to room #24. He unlocks the door with akey and steps in.

    INT. MOTEL ROOM

    The chair that Truman was sitting in is empty. Big Dave issound asleep on the bed and snoring loudly. Gus drops thecarton of cigarettes in disbelief.

    GUSMOTHERFUCKER!
