CUT TO: CALIFORNIA BEACH- Sunset
Pan upon a beach, with four friends. Two men. Two women, before a
roaring fire. There's Goggle, the banjo holding man... next to his
brother Tom-Tom. Their twin sister girlfriends, Bello and Bella roast
burgers on a stick.
GOGGLE: Wow, imagine this...you're cruising along in the Bahamas
and spot a Pirate Ghost Ship. It happens!!! There is a mysterious
pirate ship anchored at Castaway Cay in the Bahamas. The pirate ship,
known as the "Flying Dutchman" is a 175 foot long pirate ghost ship
created by Disney to provide clients with a remarkable photo
opportunity.
BELLO: Very nice. You're a Disney fan.
BELLA: Uh huh.
TOM-TOM: Right, right. We're all aware. But I've got a better story.
Just as true... but much more frightening.
BELLO: Tell us.
TOM-TOM: What if I don't feel like it?
BELLA: Of course you feel like it. That is... if you want to get laid
tonight.
TOM-TOM: What? I thought the other one was my girlfriend. What?
BELLA&BELLO: Rabble! Rabble! Rabble! Rabble! Rabble!
Google leans in close to his brother.
GOOGLE: (whispering) Not smart.
TOM-TOM: Okay, okay. It's a pirate story all right. It's about ghost
pirates, or pirate ghosts.
BELLA: Well?
TOM-TOM: So called true events of a pirate ship out there. Out there
somewhere... roaming the five oceans.
BELLA: (annoyed) A ship? With pirates?
BELLO: (intrigued) A real pirate ship?
TOM-TOM: That's right. And these aren't just any pirates. Sure they
raid other ships. But these guys aren't just thieves. They're stone, cold
killers. And they love it. (looking out on the waters) For hundreds of
years, they've been here. They're out there... even now.
BELLA: (rolling eyes) Well, why hasn't anyone ever found them?
TOM-TOM: Because this big, wooden ship of theirs... and I do stress
the word BIG. It... submerges! It sinks so low... no one could ever
possibly find them.
GOGGLE: They're G-g-g-g-GHOOOOosssts! Remember?
Tom-Tom knocks Goggle out with a right punch across the left side of
the face! Tom-Tom leans in just before the fire. He stares at the blond
twins, and their pair of C-cup twins.
TOM-TOM: I suppose you're also wondering why. Why hasn't anyone
ever reported a murder.
The girls stare deep into Tom-Tom's eyes.
TOM-TOM: (cont.) It's all considered a myth. Like Big Foot. Or more
along the sea lines... of Loch Ness!
BELLA: Do you believe in Nessie, Tom-Tom?
The girls wait for a response as Tom-Tom sits back glaring.
TOM-TOM: You bet those titties, I do.
The girls stand up disgusted, as Goggle regains consciousness.
BELLO: (taking sister's hand) Let's get out of here. (to Tom-Tom) You
fruit cake!
Tom-Tom just stares as they leave, with his disturbing glare. No
blinking here. But the crazy man soon licks his lips. WE FADE OUT.

PIRATES
CUT TO: TWIN‟S HOUSEHOLD- Midnight
INT. BELLA AND BELLO‟S ROOM
Bella and Bello bunk bed ridden. Bella atop and Bello below.
BELLO: You awake, Bella?
BELLA: Yes. Can‟t sleep?
BELLO: No.
BELLA: They were jerks today. We should look for new boyfriends.
BELLO: What if Tom-Tom was right?
Bella stares ahead into darkness. Then she closes her eyes.
BELLA: Good night, Bello.
Bello closes her eyes.
FLASH TO- Sunrise
Bella awakens. She sits up and looks across the room. Her sister is
sitting before a computer, reading many words from a webpage.
BELLA: What are you doing?
BELLO: Just looking some stuff up.
Bella jumps out of bed and walks over.
BELLA: (reading) Skull Crusher? Captain Crawk? What is this? (reading
more as Bello sighs) Is this what he was talking about? The pirates?!
BELLO: It‟s real! (Bella shakes her head) It‟s a real myth, anyway.
BELLA: When do Mom and Dad get back from Las Vegas?
BELLO: Why? You think I‟m crazy, don‟t you?
BELLA: You and these stories. What‟s with you?
BELLO: I didn‟t say I believed it! I just think it‟s a good story! All
Tom-Tom was doing was telling a story.
BELLA: (stepping away) Whatever. (opening closet door) You going
swimming today? Those new guys are going to meet us there.
BELLO: Not today.
Bella pulls out a black two piece bikini.
BELLA: Suit yourself.
Bella moves towards the bathroom as Bella continues to search the
web. We close in on the monitor. “Skull Crusher Mystery!” and “Eye
Witness Reports!” Bella is obviously being drawn into the myth.
CUT TO: BEACH- Later
Bella struts in her sexy bikini. And now up to young fishermen in their
puny row boat. They whistle at her as she approaches.
BELLA: Hey, boys!
FISHERMAN ONE: Whoa! I thought there were two of you.
BELLA: Forget it.
Bella takes her top piece off. Boing!
FISHERMAN TWO: Nice!
Suddenly a slightly older fisherman, perhaps a real fisherman steps
up. He wipes the Copenhagen chew from his lip, and the young woman
covers her bare breasts!
BELLA: Mister Hunter! I‟m sorry!
HUNTER: Just beware those seas, kids.
BELLA: What… what do you mean?
HUNTER: (staring out ahead) Something ain‟t right out there.
The two fisher boys take a quick look at one another.
FISHERMAN ONE: Okay. (pause) Thanks.
Hunter walks away. Bella straps her top piece back on.
BELLA: Did you bring the booze?
Bella steps into the row boat, as the second fisher boy pulls up a
twenty-four pack. The first grabs a couple of fishing poles.
CUT TO: SKY LINE- Above The Pacific
The Sun moves across the sky. The day has just turned to night.
CUT TO: TWIN‟S HOUSEHOLD- Nightfall
INT. BELLA AND BELLO‟S ROOM
Bella enters drunk, with the two boys. All three are drenched. Bello
spin around, with Goggle and Tom-Tom at her sides.
BELLA: Oh, wow. What are they doing here?!
BELLO: I‟m glad you finally showed up.
BELLA: Have you been at the computer all day?
BELLO: Researching.
BELLA: All day?
BELLO: Have you been out fishing all day? I don‟t see any fish.
BELLA: (stepping up) What‟s going on?
TOM-TOM: Your sister find some weird chant, she wants to try.
GOGGLE: I just don‟t get it.
TOM-TOM: (to the drenched boys) Bob and Rob. What‟s up?
BOB&ROB: (unison) Not much.
TOM-TOM: (raised to thinned eyebrows) Good.
Bella, Bob and Rob gather round the computer. Bello scrolls down to a
chant. It‟s entitled “Chant Of The Skull Crusher”.
BELLA: What‟s this supposed to do?
GOGGLE: Bring back those fucking pirates, or something.
TOM-TOM: Don‟t make me put some pain on you, bro. Stop cursing.
BELLO: (reading chant) We hate land, and we hate you. Yarb-bla-blee,
blee bar bo!
TOM-TOM: Come on, Bello. Take it seriously.
BELLO: No, that‟s what it says. (scrolling down) Hmmm. (beat) And
that‟s apparently all it says.
We pan away from the six teenagers. Out of the room, into darkness.
CUT TO: PACIFIC- Miles From Beach
INT. ONE-HUNDRED FIFTY-FOOT SHIP
Chun the china man turns to Hans, Bill and Slug the Americans.
CHUN: Mister Hans! Your boat is not… anchored!
HANS: So what? Get your pole.
Chun walks into the cabin as the American fish off the deck. Chun
returns, sticking a wiggly worm on the hook.
SLUG: Bill, pass me a beer.
BILL: You‟ve got the cooler.
Slug looks down at his feet to see the cooler.
SLUG: So, I do. (opening cooler) Anyone else need another?
HANS: Nah, I‟m good.
Slug grabs a can of beer and kicks the cooler lid shut. He opens the
beer and pulls it up to his mouth. He starts chugging away.
HANS: Is you‟re wife still sick, Chun?
CHUN: Yeah, she‟s got… the, the flu.
HANS: My wife, too. How about you, Slug? Oh, you‟re not married.
SLUG: My girl and I have an understanding.
BILL: Are you ever going to get married?
SLUG: Actually I was thinking about proposing to her in a couple of
months. I‟ve been eyeing this ring at the diamond shop. It‟s nice.
HANS: How much?
SLUG: A hundred.
The men begin to laugh.
CHUN: My wife… lost her engagement ring. Cost me… five hundred!
The men begin to laugh louder. Even Slug, who spits out his beer. And
suddenly… does Hans‟ fishing line begin to pull! He jumps up.
HANS: Whoa!
The men watch Hans reel it in.
INT. CABIN- Later
Hans is surrounded by his three friends. And they all look down at a
big, fat trout head. Hans rubs his shoulder.
HANS: Bastard hurt my shoulder. Real bad.
SLUG: A shark got to it before you could.
HANS: (walking to controls) I can manage. Let‟s get home.
Hans starts up the ignition, and the boat begins to move. Through the
darkness. Bill, Chun and Slug step up in utter shock. Past Hans… to
the window view out ahead.
CHUN: STOP!
BILL: Stop the boat, now!
HANS: (pulling brake lever) What?!
EXT. DECK
The four men run out, lastly Hans… as the boat comes to a halt. And
before them, is a ship of wood, lit only by the cabin lights shining. It
can barely be seen, but it‟s there in the darkness. Brushing past this
much smaller boat.
And now the four men step up and look up. They watch one huge
anchor drop off the side, and CRUSH the deck! The four men run,
Chun crushed as the fishing ship‟s stern LIFTS UP with a mighty
SPLASH of water!
HANS: CHHHHUUUUUUUuuuunnnn!!!
The smaller ship sinks! Bill and Slug fall into the icy cold waters! Hans
locks himself in the cabin. He walks to the opposite end as the ship is
sinking slowly. He‟s panicking, walking the slanted way.
Back outside the cabin, Bill and Slug scratch at the deck going under,
stern still aimed for the night sky. And then they turn to a great white,
with one eye… opening it‟s jaws and SINKING DOWN! A bloody scream
from each man, being torn apart!
Outside the back entrance of the cabin. Hans climbs out, breathing
heavily. And he blindly reaches for the stern… accidentally taking hold
another man‟s shins. Hans looks up to a pirate cloaked in darkness. He
stares down at Hans, and Hans stares dead scared.
Then the pirate with the big hat, raises a mighty silver sword. He‟s
PULLED UP via rope, and Hans screams! Holding tight the shins, and
looking down at his ship sinking. Looking down at the great white
swimming away. Surely the biggest great white of them all.
HANS: Oh, my… GOD!
Hans looks back up into the pirates glassy, silver eyes. And the pirate
SWINGS the sword, just as they reach the ship‟s bow. Hans now falls
DECAPTITATED. Hitting the water‟s surface just as his ship goes under.
FLASH TO-
The mighty pirate ship passes by. All‟s quiet, but the waves against
the wood. A long pause as we now FADE OUT.
CUT TO: TWIN‟S HOUSEHOLD- A Little Later
INT. BELLA AND BELLO‟S ROOM
Bello clicks at the screen via button on keyboard.
BELLO: Introductions, everybody! There‟s… three of them.
Tom-Tom, Goggle, Bob, Rob and Bella gather round Bello.
CUT TO: THE BEACH
EXT. DOCKS
Out of the dark waters comes a man with long, scraggly hair. He‟s
walking as a monkey would… with ten razor, silver finger nails.
BELLO: (reading) There‟s Scratch, the watcher.
Now a much taller man steps out. Beefier, and bald. He carries a silver
battle axe in his left hand, his right a clenched fist. We also notice the
black patch over his left eye.
BELLO: (cont.- reading) Juggo, the last defense.
Juggo and Scratch head out onto the sand. They stop just before the
grass hill leading to town. The two turn around.
BELLO: (conc.- reading) And Crawk… the Skull Crusher captain.
Now a third pirate emerges from the sea. A captain‟s cap upon his
head. And he, like Scratch, has long and scraggly black hair. And a
black beard just as long. He carries the silver sword… and approaches
his crew members. Then the three turn their heads towards town.
CUT TO: TWIN‟S HOUSEHOLD
INT. BELLA AND BELLO‟S ROOM
Bello sits up from the computer.
ROB: Well, it‟s too bad it ain‟t true. Always wanted to be a pirate.
BOB: The whole thing sounds stupid, to me.
BELLO: Wait, though. Get this. (walking to dresser) It was a movie
back in the 80s. Just like the Freddy, Jason and Michael craze.
ROB: Michael who?
BELLA: Michael Myers, from Halloween.
BELLO: Yeah, but if this pirate tale is true… spanning over all these
years. You could take those three movie characters, and combine their
death lists…
BOB: (interrupting) Death lists?
BELLA: How many people they‟ve killed.
Bello pulls a purse from the dresser drawer.
BELLO: You could take that one big number, and it‟d still be dwarfed
by the number that these guys have supposedly killed. (turning) After
all, they‟ve had hundreds of years. (walking forth) And government
cover ups. That‟s the only way it would work.
TOM-TOM: Government cover ups. That makes sense.
Goggle sighs at that. Bello looks for the cash in her purse.
BELLA: What are you doing, Bello?
BELLO: Is the movie store still open?
GOGGLE: Yes.
BELLO: (walking to Goggle) Then let‟s go.
Bello kisses her boyfriend, Goggle. Goggle straightens his crotch, and
watches Bello‟s ass as she departs. Bella shakes her head, and claps
her hands.
BELLA: Well, gentlemen?
Tom-Tom, Goggle, Bob and Rob follow Bella out of the room… after
Bello. Rob is the last to leave, so he closes the door behind him.
CUT TO: TOWN STREET- Isolated
A single vehicle passes by. But not one other, and not one pedestrian.
Until the mob of six teenagers head down the sidewalk. They‟re
approaching the movie shop. The Bob puts his arm out.
BOB: The arcade‟s still open.
ROB: Awesome.
Rob immediately starts across the street. Bob turns to Goggle.
BOB: You coming, Goggle?
GOGGLE: Uuh, yeah! (to Bello) I‟ll see you tomorrow.
BELLO: Fine.
Goggle follows Bob across the street. They start to run for the well lit
entrance as Rob enters. Bello, Bella and Tom-Tom move on to the
movie store. We pan away as they enter, to an alleyway. We see three
familiar shadows, and one pirate‟s silver sword moving into frame.
CUT TO: VIDEO STORE
Tom-Tom and the twins enter.
TOM-TOM: I take it it‟s a horror movie.
BELLO: Yeah.
Tom-Tom leads the women to the horror section. They move down this
aisle, passing other titles. “From Beyond”. “Killer Klowns From Outer
Space.” And then they make it to the letter P. Tom-Tom squats.
TOM-TOM: (picking case up) Pirates. Hauh, looks like porn.
BELLO: No… (picking another case up) Behind that. This is it.
Somebody, put that in the wrong place.
BELLA: Put it back, Tom-Tom.
TOM-TOM: I want to watch it. (leaning in) With you.
BELLA: Put it back.
TOM-TOM: (putting it back) No wonder we don‟t get along anymore.
And as Bello walks away…
BELLA: What‟s that supposed to mean? Yeah, I kind of wanted us to
get married one day. But now I‟m not so sure!
TOM-TOM: And that‟s why you invited Bob and Rob.
BELLA: Don‟t start with me!
Up to the attendant station. Bello hands the clerk the video, who‟s all
ready raised his eyebrows… eyeing the fighting couple.
BELLO: Don‟t mind them.
CUT TO: ARCADE- Across The Street
EXT. ALLEYWAY
Pan across a second alleyway. A woman is passing by, only to be
pulled into the darkness! We watch the captain‟s silver sword DRIVE
through her abdomen! A grunt without the chance to be a scream. The
blood spills onto the concrete below. The sword is then pulled out.
INT. GAME FLOOR
Bob and Rob stand on each side of Goggle, who plays at a machine
entitled “Death Pirates”. Goggle moves the joystick, and presses
repeatedly between three red buttons.
ON SCREEN-
A ship is being controlled, cannon blasting another away!
OFF SCREEN-
BOB: Get the whore, and watch out for the flying blue whale!
ROB: That‟s ridiculous!
GOGGLE: I know… but it‟s fun!
ON SCREEN-
The ship under control by Goggle is taken under by a kraken‟s
tentacle! „GAME OVER‟ flashes on the screen!
OFF SCREEN-
GOGGLE: (backing away) Damn‟t.
BOB: (stepping in) My turn. Let me show you how it‟s done.
Bob puts a quarter in the machine.
CUT TO: TOWN STREET TWO
EXT. SIDEWALK
Bella and Tom-Tom drag behind Bello, who holds the rented DVD.
TOM-TOM: (whispering) I just think we should start over. You know
I‟m trying to find a new place, where we can both stay, you know?
BELLA: I know, I just hate it when you act stupid.
TOM-TOM: I‟m a guy. Women are going to think we‟re stupid, but it‟s
the women who actually are.
BELLA: What?!
BELLO: (stopping- turning) Whoa, whoa! Wait a second! Before we get
carried away here, I‟ve got one thing to say. (Bella and Tom-Tom
stare) Everyone, and I mean every last one of us on the entire planet…
I don‟t care who you are.
TOM-TOM: Uh huh?
BELLO: We‟re all stupid.
Tom-Tom and Bella stare at each other. Then they look to Bello, and
erupt in laughter!
TOM-TOM: I‟ll give you that.
BELLA: It‟s true! Hahaha!
BELLO: (walking away) Now let‟s get back, so we can watch this.
Tom-Tom puts his arm around Bella.
TOM-TOM: What a night!
The couple follow Bello up a grass hill, towards a row of houses.
CUT TO: ARCADE- Near Midnight
INT. GAME FLOOR
Goggle walks towards the exit, followed by Bob and Rob.
GOGGLE: Didn‟t expect to run out of money so quickly.
BOB: Let‟s get to that ATM machine.
ROB: Uuh, I don‟t think we have much in there.
GOGGLE: I don‟t even have an account.
EXT. STREET
The three boys step out. They start walking down the way, looking all
around. There is no one in sight… anywhere.
BOB: Where is everyone? It‟s like a frickin‟ ghost town.
Suddenly, out of the alleyway! The three boys are pulled in!
INT. ALLEYWAY
Little Scratch CLAWS Bob across the face! Bloody scars, and his eyes
have been torn out of the sockets! Bob lets out a painful scream!
GOGGLE: (backing to wall) What the fuck? WHAT the FUCK?!
Big Juggo picks Rob up over his head and SLAMS him down on his
lifted, right bent knee! Rob‟s back has been broken. He‟s dead. And
now these pirates back away. The captain steps up to Goggle.
GOGGLE: (cont.) Captain… Crawk?
Captain Crawk raises the bloody, silver sword. And he quickly SLITS
Goggle‟s throat! Goggle slides down with a choke. The pirates soon
disappear into the fog, which then evaporates. As if no one were
there… no one, except three dead teenage boys.
CUT TO: HUNTER‟S LAND- House And Yard
EXT. FRONT YARD
Hunter steps out, with a dynamite stick in a pistol holster at his left hip
side. He carries a shotgun, running off his land, and onto…
EXT. BEACH- Dock
There‟s a woman skinny dipping. She dives in just as Hunter calls!
HUNTER: Hey! (too late) Shit.
Hunter turns to a sign reading „No Trespassing‟. And he walks out to
the end of the dock. He lowers the shotgun, relaxing. A sigh, later…
and he looks back to his house. A brief pause.
And now Hunter turns back, to a SPLASH of water in his face! He
GASPS at the sight! The skinny dipping woman out of the water and
SCREAMING MAD, in the jaws of the big great white!
HUNTER: (aiming shotgun- in awe) Holy… Hell.
The jaws SINK in and Hunter opens fire! The woman‟s chest and head
are blown apart in that „well-placed‟ shot. Hunter drops to his left
knee, and cocks the shotgun as the great white submerges!
Hunter aims to the dark surface and opens fire again! Another splash
of water. Hunter cocks the shotgun. He fires a third time! The shark‟s
fin has disappeared. Now a much longer pause than before.
HUNTER: Come on, you son of a bitch. (beat) Show yourself.
Hunter suddenly looks up, his eyes widening. And off to his far left,
clouded in fog… is a vessel of enormous proportions. The giant,
wooden pirate ship. Hunter lowers his shotgun in amazement.
Just then, does the great white ERUPT out and THROUGH the dock
wood! In this instant chaos, Hunter loses his shotgun to the deep
water below him! Instinctively he grabs the dynamite stick, in the
shark‟s mouth! Panicking breath inhalation as Hunter lights the stick!
The shark starts moving right for the pirate ship, when Hunter STICKS
the lit stick in the sea monster‟s right eye! A FAR SHOT of Hunter and
the face blowing apart! Blood, guts and fire. The mess starts to sink.
CUT TO: TWIN‟S HOUSEHOLD- Midnight
INT. BELLA AND BELLO‟S ROOM
Bello sits at the edge of the bed, as her sister and Tom-Tom make out.
ON SCREEN-
Out of the darkness… comes CAPTAIN CRAWK! He‟s aimed his sword,
and laughs mad… approaching a woman on a plank of his ship.
OFF SCREEN-
Bella and Tom-Tom kiss passionately, and Bella starts to take off her
shirt. Tom-Tom unbuttons and unzips her pants. White panties.
TOM-TOM: (halting) You‟re still okay with this, Bello?
BELLA: She‟s fine.
BELLO: Yeah, are you seeing this?
BELLA: (kissing boyfriend) Kind of busy. Why?
BELLO: I mean is it so hard to believe, that some crazies have a wood
ship out there. I mean… (standing up) Let‟s think seriously. Three
pirates, right?
Tom-Tom inserts man hood into Bella‟s taco.
TOM-TOM: Uh, huh?
BELLO: (intent on screen) Psychos with… some motive. Why would
they pick up innocent people, and slaughter them? What if?
BELLA: Would you SHUT UP?! Come on, it‟s starting to freak me out!
TOM-TOM: Take it easy… she‟s your sister.
BELLA: So WHAT?! I‟m getting tired of this bullshit.
TOM-TOM: (to Bello) Look, Bello. It was just a story. Relax. (beat)
And, really… could you give us a little privacy here?
Bello presses the stop button on the DVD player.
BELLO: (leaving) Fine.
Bello SLAMS the door shut behind her. Tom-Tom and Bella continue.
CUT TO: TOWN STREET THREE- Just After Midnight
A red doodle bug drives down the way.
INT. RED DOODLE BUG
Man drives. The wife in the passenger‟s seat. From the wife, we‟re sure
these are the twins‟ parents.
FATHER: Kids will be surprised to see us home early. That‟s the good
news.
MOTHER: The bad news, we lost so much money. I hate Las Vegas.
The father hits the brakes!
EXT. TOWN STREET THREE
Father and mother step out. They walk up in front of their car, to see a
dead woman. The very woman impaled through the torso.
FATHER: Miss? Are you okay?
The father crouches down.
MOTHER: She‟s dead. (teary eyed) Leave it! Let‟s get out of here!
FATHER: (about to puke) Ohhh, man. I hate dead bodies!
The father stumbles away and hunches over! The sounds of him
puking. The mother steps back to comfort him.
MOTHER: We should call the police.
FATHER: (the sound of sirens) Too late.
They turn to a squad car pulling up. A moment‟s wait. Now two male
officers step out. They walk up to the dead body and pull their guns.
FATHER: Now, wait a second officers!
OFFICER ONE: Looks to me like you‟re in trouble.
OFFICER TWO: One of you want to explain this dead body?
MOTHER: We just found it! Just a minute ago, take it easy!
The four suddenly turn. A fog rolls in down the grass hill.
OFFICER ONE: What‟s this, now?
OFFICER TWO: It‟s fog.
Suddenly three pirates step out. Crawk, Juggo and Scratch. The
policemen aim their pistols and open fire! The bullets certainly enter
meat, but these ghost pirates keep coming.
The cops drop to their knees as the father grabs the mother. Father
takes mother around the red car, ducking low. They both peek over to
see Scratch LEAP upon the first officer! He‟s atop him, grounding him…
and TEARING at his face with both clawed hands viciously!
Closing in, we watch the remaining officer stand up, staring Juggo in
the eyes as he raises the silver mace! And now this officer is
WHACKED against the left side ribcage! The officer SOARS into the
squad car‟s windshield… cracking it severely!
FATHER: Pirates!
Captain Crawk starts towards the scared couple, running for it! Crawk
stops, snapping his fingers… as Scratch gets off the first officer. A
quick shot of this officer, face and chest torn apart. Mutilated!
Juggo steps forth. He bends down and picks up the red doodle bug! He
holds it up over his head, arches his back… and THROWS the small
vehicle across the grass field! The couple turn in time to see it land on
them! The woman‟s scream ends a second after it starts.
Back to the pirates disappearing as the fog appears once again.
Captain Crawk laughs! Scratch and Juggo join in, all three with deep
and intimidating sounds. And as they disappear, the fog surrounds the
squad car. The ignition starts, and the sirens sound.
We watch, now... as this vehicle SPEEDS OFF! The grounded,
mutilated copper is run over. The other on the hood is sent SOARING
as this driverless car makes a sharp right turn over the grass hill!
FLASH TO- Neighborhood Street
A street party. A barbecue between fifteen people, family and friends.
Then they turn to the sound of sirens, and the squad car COMES UP
over the street bump! It rolls down the way, and the partiers begin to
panic! Fog is billowing round the speeding vehicle, as it RUNS DOWN
four of the party members! Immediate screams from two of the
surviving women! The pirates laughter is heard as the car makes
another sharp right turn… and out of sight.
CUT TO: TWIN‟S HOUSEHOLD- A Little Later
INT. LIVING ROOM- Downstairs
Bello is lying on the couch. Pan up from her feet. Across her horizontal
body, to her face. To her open eyes. And then suddenly… she hears a
car pull up in the driveway. Bello gets up and walks over to the
window. She pulls back the curtain to see a squad car in the lot.
BELLO: Police?
The curtains drop back over the view. And then the sound of her sister
screaming! Bello stops cold, then runs out of the room post haste!
BELLO: (cont.) Bella?! BELLA!
Bello runs up a set of stairs, into…
INT. BELLO AND BELLA‟S ROOM
Bello enters to Tom-Tom at the window screaming! He pulls back as
she runs forth. And out the window, Bello witnesses her twin‟s
abduction, by floating pirates. It‟s Captain Crawk who‟s got a hold of
her, with Juggo and Scratch at his sides.
BELLA: BEEEELLLOOooo!!
BELLO: NOOOOOoooooo!!
The fog picks the squad car up as the pirates disappear. Tom-Tom
takes Bello‟s hand and the two run back out of the room.
FLASH TO- Front Yard
Tom-Tom and Bello BUST out through the front door, onto the lawn!
They watch the squad car ride a fog river through the sky.
TOM-TOM: The beach. (hand in hand- running) Let‟s get moving!
Tom-Tom and Bello run quickly across the street.
CUT TO: BEACH- Moments Later, Dark Early Morning
The squad car is dropped into the sandy beach, front first! The sirens
die out, and the car is clearly stuck with it‟s back in the air. However,
Bella is carried with the ghostly fog… and aboard the giant wood ship.
Just then, do Tom-Tom and Bello run up over the hill. They stop at the
sight of this ship. In utter awe, they slowly approach it as it departs.
BELLO: It‟s true. (beat) It‟s all… true.
TOM-TOM: (under his breath) We‟ve got to get on the ship.
Tom-Tom runs for the beach‟s end. Bello follows.
EXT. PACIFIC WATERS
Tom-Tom and Bello, at first walk out. Two more squad cars are
arriving. And two officers step out of each car. Tom-Tom and Bello are
now swimming for the ship backing away into the fog. But now a ten
foot silver cannon peeks out of the ship‟s left side.
A male and female at each squad car, with guns raised. They‟re in a
state of shock. And now a single BLAST from the silver cannon! A
silver ball explosive twice the size of an aerobics ball hits between the
two squad cars! INSTANT officers‟ screaming… as their two vehicles
are BLOWN OFF their tires! Fire and smoke. The officer‟s are in pieces!
CUT TO: PIRATE SHIP
EXT. ANCHOR CHAIN- Thick
Tom-Tom and Bello swim for the anchor rising. They take hold the
chain!
TOM-TOM: You‟re right, Bello… people ARE stupid!
BELLO: I love you, Tom-Tom.
TOM-TOM: (pausing at first) Good. (looking up) Hold tight.
Tom-Tom and Bello raise, hanging tight the thick anchor chain.
EXT. SHIP DECK
Tom-Tom rolls aboard, looking all around. No one is in his sights. He
quickly rises to a crouch, then helps Bello up. The two stand and walk
out onto the middle of the deck as the anchor halts. They look up to
the mass and then back down to a set of steps.
The ship is now turning with the billowing fog surrounding it. This
massive vessel is now facing the open sea, leaving California behind.
Tom-Tom and Bello walk up to a doorway, surely leading to the lower
section. Surely they‟d find Bella there. Unfortunately, it‟s where the
deadly pirates would be just the same.
INT. BIG CABIN- Dark
The door opens, and the sunlight shines in. Tom-Tom and Bello enter
down the stairwell. They walk around and face all the way across… to
the other end of the ship. Tom-Tom now spots a ladder.
Tom-Tom and Bello climb down this ladder. At the bottom, they can
see the water level at eyesight through the cracks. It seems the lower-
most wood is reinforced, as not to take in the sea little by little. As
these two move on, the wave water rushes in, and drains out.
TOM-TOM: Bella?! Where are you?!
All around them are tall chest stacks. Wooden chests, some of which
are opened a crack. Inside is gold and silver. Tom-Tom approaches
one of these chests, and opens the lid. He grabs a handful of gold
coins. He now looks to Bello, who‟s just as shocked.
BELLO: Real pirates. (calling out) WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HER?!
Suddenly SCRATCH jumps out from behind a stack of chests! He‟s
holding a rapier in both razor claw hands! A ROAR later, and Scratch
CHARGES at these two. Tom-Tom and Bello back up.
TOM-TOM: You son of a bitch!
Tom-Tom DUCKS as Scratch JABS the rapier at him! A near miss and
Tom-Tom SHOVES his right fist into Scratch‟s chest! A cough and
hunch over, from this man with the monkey walk! Tom-Tom returns
with a left hand punch across the face! Scratch falls back!
Bello backs up to the wall, near the ladder. And now Juggo‟s silver
mace BREAKS through, narrowly missing her! A short scream from
Bello, as she spins around angered! She TEARS the mace out with one
good tug! Juggo now HEAD BUTTS his way through… roaring angrily!
BELLO: (pulling mace back) I want my SISTER back!
Bello SWINGS the silver mace! The spikes dig into Juggo‟s right
shoulder! Blood sprays out, and Juggo screams! Bello screams back,
backing away as Juggo TEARS out of the wood! He PULLS the mace
out of his shoulder, and raises it high with his left arm!
Back to Tom-Tom atop Scratch! Punching him in the face with his right
fist! Dust, and not blood spreads away with this one-to-five assault!
But now Scratch BACK HANDS Tom-Tom off of him! Tom-Tom quickly
stands, having just picked up the rapier.
TOM-TOM: Is that all you GOT?!
Tom-Tom SWINGS the rapier, and Scratch slides out of the way! A
quick swing of his right razors, and Tom-Tom drops to his knees, with
five bleeding tears across the left cheek side! Scratch returns with a
left KICK to Tom-Tom‟s stomach, which causes an instant drop.
Back to Juggo approaching Bello slowly. She then turns to Scratch
coming up from behind. Tom-Tom jumps up and Scratch turns back to
the rapier cutting up through his groin! Through his abdomen, and
neck, out the top of his head… cutting the soft meat in half! And these
two halves drop to opposite sides.
Tom-Tom charges at Juggo with the rapier! Juggo SWINGS his mace,
shattering the rapier. He picks Tom-Tom up and starts squeezing his
back! A cough of blood in Juggo‟s face, as Tom-Tom now DIGS into the
remaining, unpatched left socket! Tom-Tom RIPS Juggo‟s eye out!
Juggo screams and lets go Tom-Tom, who‟s dead. Bello breathes
heavily, creeping over to the mace. She picks it up as Juggo stumbles
around. She comes up behind the big, bald pirate and SWINGS the
mace into his back! Juggo DROPS forth onto a wood chest stack! The
chests fall upon him, burying him! Bello jumps away to safety.
EXT. DECK
Two navy ships are just blocking off the pirate ship‟s path. And now a
police helicopter flies by, with one pilot… and one officer aiming an
assault rifle at the ship. A closer shot reveals Crawk and Bella.
Crawk aims his sword at Bella‟s back, and her arms are up. She‟s
walking the plank. Crawk then looks up at the circling helicopter, as
assault gunfire hits the silver cannon! The bullets richotet!
Fog surrounds the cannon, raising it. Crawk stares with thinned,
angered eyes upon the officer reloading the rifle. Seemingly, at
captain‟s command… the silver cannon FIRES a silver ball at the
helicopter! It‟s KNOCKED out of the sky, with fire and smoke! Bella
stares in utter awe! The helicopter hits the ocean surface, and Captain
Crawk laughs. He‟s now turned his attention on the Navy‟s two ships.
From behind, Bella notices her sister stepping out through the door
way. She creeps over, but then Crawk turns with a growl! He looks
right back at Bella and SWINGS THE SWORD!
BELLO: NOOOooo!
Bella crouches, and LEAPS HIGH over the blade… now flipping right
over Captain Crawk! Crawk turns with another growl as Bella runs to
her sister! He‟s after them with his silver sword raised high!
BELLA: (pushing her sister back) Get behind me! (to Crawk) STOP!
Stop! (Crawk stops) Just calm down!
CRAWK: One of you called us. And one of you must walk the plank.
BELLA: What happens then?
CRAWK: Which one of you WAS IT?!
BELLA: I called you. And now you‟re going to turn around. You‟re
going to take us back… (stepping up) Before the Navy blasts you out
of the water.
Crawk erupts in laughter! He suddenly disappears in the fog
CRAWK: Watch closely, ladies.
Bello and Bella spin around. Bello leads Bello in a dash to the edge.
They watch the Navy ships aim their cannons. The pirate ship turns
slowly, it‟s silver cannon aimed at one of the two. But now gunfire
from the Navy, and the wooden side is riddled with the ammunition!
Quickly, as the shots progress, the inner cabin is revealed. The water
rushes in… taking over the silver cannon. But not before one last blast!
This final silver ball POUNDS against one Navy ship, BOUNCING off it,
before CURVING high into the air and LANDING upon one of the Navy‟s
mounted gun machine! The ball has torn through.
Bello and Bella watch in utter shock, as now all three ships are sinking.
But now these twins turn to Captain Crawk standing fifteen feet behind
them. He kicks a silver sword their way. Bello picks it up.
CRAWK: It matters not which called me, now. (stepping up with
sword) We will ALL sink to our dooms.
BELLO: (stepping up) But what if it‟s just you, captain?
CRAWK: You‟d have to strike me down.
BELLA: (cowering- to Bello) Good luck.
Bello and Crawk begin to circle one another. Their silver blades
scraping against one another, creating sparks. Crawk grins.
BELLO: I called you. And now I‟m sending you packing… alone.
Bello JUMPS to the side as Crawk JABS towards her! Bello BRINGS her
sword down on the captain‟s wrist! A spray of blood like a fountain, for
just a second! Bello PUNCHES Crawk square in the nose, which sends
him spinning around!
Crawk spins right around with a crouch! And he SLASHES Bello across
the stomach! She grunts in pain, hunching over and backing away! Her
sword out, and Crawk walking around her. He runs up and SHOULDER
PRESSES her to a stumble! Bello hits the deck upon her left side!
Another grunt of pain, and Bella starts to crawl towards her.
CRAWK: Get up, girl. Get up. (Bello is too weak) Your sister dies… if
you don‟t fight.
Bello gets up, as weak as the attack made her. She gets up and slinks
down. Her silver sword out in front of her. Now Crawk approaches, his
sword out just the same. They begin to circle each other once more.
The swords connect! Once, twice… three times, now four! Bello backs
away and Crawk approaches. Back to Bella, who now runs up AND
LEAPS upon his back! She‟s wrapped her right arm around his throat,
and the hat comes off! Bella stares into a HALLOWED OUT SKULL.
A gasp later, and Crawk ELBOWS Bella in the mouth! A spit of blood as
Bella hits the ground! Crawk keeps his eyes on Bello. Now he comes at
her, with another sword connection! Then another, and another! The
blades stay together, and the two circle slower now. Sparks fly from
the silver blades scraping. Crawk is growling and grinning.
A far shot of the Navy Ships half sunk. This pirate ship now begins to
tip over! The loot filled cabin filled, as all this loot spreads out into the
dark deep. We close in on Bella wiping the blood from her mouth.
Crawk KNEES Bella in the stomach! She hunches over and is then
PUNCHED in the mouth! A spit of blood in Crawk‟s eyes! Once he was
laughing, but now he is screaming in agony! Waving his sword blindly!
Bella wipes the blood from her mouth, now LEAPING UP!
She runs at Crawk and IMPALES him through the chest with her
sword! She immediately grabs Crawk‟s sword, and STICKS it through
the big, brainless hole in the back of his head! A captain‟s howl!
CRAWK: AAAAARRRRRrrrrrr!!!
One sword through the abdomen. The other through the hole in his
head… and out his chest! His black heart still beats, stuck on the tip of
his blade. The captain falls lifelessly, and the fog takes over the ship
and sea water surrounding. A long pause in this moment.
Bella crawls for her sister Bello. They take hold each other, then push
away from the sunken ship. They kick their feet in the water, looking
down as the pirate‟s vessel disappears from their view beneath them.
BELLO: Thank you, Bella.
BELLA: And thank you. I… I should have believed you.
BELLO: No, you shouldn‟t have. But it‟s all over now.
Bella and Bello begin to swim for the beach, so far away. A piece of
drift wood passes by, and they take hold of it. Now they‟ve got
something to keep them afloat.
BELLA: What happens now?
BELLO: We could get a sequel made to that awful movie. About the
pirates.
BELLA: That damn horror movie.
BELLO: No… the porn one.
Bella begins to laugh, and Bello joins in. They kick away for home.
The End
