CIO: Fair Play

CIO (Crime Intelligence Organisation) investigates through a team in the Olympics, which is involved in doping. Who's the culprit?

[Scene 1]

ANNOUNCER - I now welcome everyone to Day 1 of the Olympic Games!!

CROWD - Woohoo!!!

ANNOUNCER - Within the next few minutes we'll have the following track events going on in order: 100m, 400m, 400x4m, 100x4m Relay, 110m Hurdles, Long Jump, Triple Jump, High Jump, Pole Vaulting, Discus, Shot putt and finally the Javelin.

CROWD - (Crowd goes wild).

ANNOUNCER - It's going to be an action-packed 1st day. Let the games begin!!

ANNA - Guys, where's Brett?

JAMES - He's getting us all drinks.

JENSEN - Guys look! it's Frieda!! that fastest woman in the world.

ANNA - Oh my god ah!!! (in excitement).

DEAN - Guys can you quiet down, I'm trying to sleep.

JAMES - You hear that guys? he's taking a nap, at the stadium!!

DEAN - Then tell the stadium to quiet down.

JENSEN - Oh boy, here we go again. What? are you drunk?

DEAN - Nope (hiccup) nevah....

ANNA - He's drunk, again!

JENSEN - Every time, always Dean.

BRETT - Guys I'm back!

JAMES - About time, where were you?

BRETT - They had a huge queue at the snack bar.

ANNA - Couldn't you have used the vending machines?

BRETT - The cans they sell are so tiny, probably the size of a scotch cup.

DEAN - Man that's tiny!

BRETT - What's with him?

JENSEN - Drunk, as usual.

BRETT - Same old Dean. Just when you think game's have started, he gets drunk.

JAMES - Well come on he just did it at the wrong time.

ANNA - We almost never have breaks like this because we're always on duty.

JENSEN - On duty we're the intelligence agency, off duty we're what we call "party animals".

BRETT - Not really, just look at that thing.

JENSEN - Oh right, sorry. What I was meant to say was that we're the "party animals" and a drunk guinea pig.

DEAN - (Drunk) Oi! who're you callin' drunk, guinea pig?

JAMES - You.

DEAN - (Drunk) Me? I-I always thought that you were drunk.

ANNA - Guys it's starting!!

ANNOUNCER - Woman's 100m race, will commence in 3, 2, 1, Go!!

BRETT - Woo!!

ANNOUNCER - Frieda!! now at first position!! ooh!! now look there, we have Jan coming last by a meter.

ANNA - Poor Jan.

JENSEN - She knows she doesn't stand a chance against Frieda.

ANNOUNCER - Oh wait!! what do we have here! Jan's accelerating!! overtaking five positions!! now in a close tie with the second position.

BRETT - Wait what?? h-how did that-

ANNOUNCER - Oh my god!! she overtakes Frieda, and oh my what glory!! she beats Frieda!! who claims to be the fastest in the world!! my oh my what a magnificent race!

JAMES - (Shocked) Shoot!

DEAN - Jesus Christ!!

JENSEN - You're awake?

DEAN - I woke up the minute I found out Frieda lost.

ANNA - You too? t-t-this is unbelievable!!

BRETT - I know right? Jan probably trained hard.

JAMES - But she's from Dalek. Dalek never gets into the top 10 in the Medal standings.

BRETT - Well that's why we bought tickets, anything can happen.

[Scene 2]

ANNOUNCER - Next Event! we have the 400m!

ANNA - Who are you guys putting your money on?

BRETT - Natasha.

JENSEN - Natasha.

JAMES - Of course Natasha.

DEAN - Umm....Kate.

ANNA - I'm going for Kate. Natasha doesn't stand a chance.

BRETT - Says who?

ANNA - Hello? she broke her hamstring just last week because of the race at the Summer track meet.

JENSEN - She probably recovered by now.

ANNOUNCER - On your marks! get set! Go!

ANNA - Come on Kate!!

JAMES - Natasha!!

BRETT - You can do it!!

DEAN - Oh oh!! Verma's speeding up.

JENSEN - Wait what??

DEAN - Look right there, s-she's second!

ANNA - What the hell??

BRETT - That road-runner just overtook Natasha!

JENSEN - Now she overtook Kate!

ANNOUNCER - And Verma! finishes off in style!! first place.

(Shocked)

BRETT - The hell??

(Dalek kept winning all the track and field events, they all covered first and second place. Not lower)

[Scene 3]

ANNOUNCER - Now up to the medal tally.......Dalek!!! team Dalek wins the track and field at the Olympic games with a total of 20 medals!

ANNA - (Shocked) t-t-twenty-

DEAN - Medals.

BRETT - Something's not right. I'm getting a strange feeling about this track and field event.

JAMES - Well what do you know? they actually took their national training really seriously.

BRETT - I'm not sure it is James. I mean it just struck me.

ANNA - What just struck you?

BRETT - You remember how you told me Natasha broke her hamstring last week because of the Summer track meet?

ANNA - Yes?

BRETT - That was the last track meet before the Olympics today.

ANNA - Point is?

BRETT - You guys have internet on your phone?

JENSEN - Yes.

BRETT - Search up the results for the previous track meet events.

JENSEN - Okay.

(They search up the results)

JENSEN - Here they are.

BRETT - (Browses through all the results) I knew it!!

JAMES - What?

BRETT - See look, none of the Dalek athletes made it into the top five.

ANNA - I see...

BRETT - It takes a lot of training sessions to come into the top five, it isn't easy stuff.

DEAN - What are you going to conclude?

BRETT - Drugs.....I'm concluding with my hypothesis saying that they've been drugged.

(Shocked reactions by others)

JENSEN - You're probably right, there's no other possibility of their performance getting enhanced by a huge margin.

BRETT - Friends, we've got ourselves a new case.

ANNA - Yes!

JENSEN - Yes!

ALL - Yes!

JAMES - What do we do now?

BRETT - We need to disguise ourselves into looking like tourists.

ANNA - Got it.

[Scene 4]

BRETT - (Whispers) This is their team's room. Follow my lead.

ALL - Got it.

GUARD - Oi! Oi! sorry, exits are that way.

BRETT - Sorry to bother, but I want to speak to team Dalek's head coach.

GUARD - No can do, this place is off limits. Not allowed.

BRETT - But please! y-you've got to understand us please! m-my brother is diagnosed with brain tumor. He won't live any longer, his final wish before he passes away was to take a picture with Team Dalek.

GUARD - Hmm.....

BRETT - (Whispers to the back) Jensen, act like you're diagnosed with brain tumor.

JENSEN - What??

ANNA - Just do it!

JENSEN - Fine! fine! (acts it out).

GUARD - A-Alright then, but only for a short while and that's it. If the council finds out, I'll get fired.

BRETT - Don't worry about that, w-we'll be quick. Come on Jensen.

JENSEN - (Acts in a funny-ridiculous way)

GUARD - Oi! who are you??

BRETT - T-They are my cousins and siblings, t-they're coming too.

GUARD - Oh okay, proceed.

[Scene 5]

HEAD COACH - Good job! you really showed it tonight!! I'm happy with all of you!!

BRETT - (Whispers) Follow me with every move. We're going to ask him to take a snap with the discus thrower.

ANNA - Why the discus thrower? why not Jan?

BRETT - The discus thrower is younger than everyone. It won't be hard to interrogate her once we've done the kidnap.

JAMES - Wait what?? we're going to kidnap?

BRETT - Ssh! yes we're going to kidnap. Follow my lead.

HEAD COACH - Oi!! what're you doing here!! this is off limits!!

BRETT - Sorry sir. We d-don't mean to disturb but this is Jensen, say hi Jensen.

JENSEN - (Says hi in a retarded way).

DALEK TEAM - (Says hi back with a weird reaction).

BRETT - Oh I'm sorry. Jensen here is diagnosed with brain tumor.

HEAD COACH - Brain tumor? oh no! t-that's horrible.

BRETT - The doctors say that he won't live long. His final wish was to take a picture with the young discus thrower from team Dalek.

HEAD COACH - Oh! y-you like discus?

BRETT - Reply Jensen.

JENSEN - (Nods).

HEAD COACH - Well okay then, but just one photo and done alright?

BRETT - Right sir.

HEAD COACH - I feel sorry for you Jensen. Lily! go and take a photo with them.

LILY - Sure.

ANNA - Could you come to the back so we can take your picture?

LILY - Alright.

(They go to the back).

BRETT - (Whispers) Find the exit.

DEAN - Across the hall.

BRETT - Are we away from the team?

DEAN - Yes.

BRETT - Good, now hand me that anesthetic.

LILY - Now then where would you like the-

(Brett sprays her with anesthetic)

LILY - (Unconscious).

BRETT - Carry her body, hold the exits. I'll make a run for it now and get the car.

ANNA - Got it!

(They all rush quietly down the hall, towards the exit. Brett pulls in close to the exit with his car)

BRETT - Put her in the back!

(They drive off)

HEAD COACH - Lily are you done....Lily?...Lily!! where are you! She's gone!

DALEK TEAM - What?? s-s-she's gone?? b-but how??

HEAD COACH - Come on! where could she possibly be?! the qualifying rounds are in two days. Wait hold on a second....(suspects the 5 people) God damn it!!

[Scene 6]

(In the car while driving)

ANNA - Where to Brett?

BRETT - Our secret hideout.

POLICE OFFICER - Hello?

HEAD COACH - This is the Head Coach of Team Dalek. I'm calling to report a team member, gone missing!

POLICE OFFICER - Gone missing?! oh dear this is bad, really bad.

HEAD COACH - We need her urgently! the qualifying rounds are in two days! we can't participate in Women's Discus if she's not here.

POLICE OFFICER - Right then. Name?

HEAD COACH - Lily, Lily Schwartz.

POLICE OFFICER - Don't worry sir. We'll take immediate action (drops the call). Alright team! gear up! we're searching for Lily Schwartz, a team member from Dalek. Let's go!!

(Police squad jumps into action)

[Scene 7]

(Car stops just outside the secret hideout)

JENSEN - Bring her in Dean.

DEAN - (Carries her body along with James).

BRETT - Switch on the lamp, aim it towards that chair.

ANNA - Interrogation?

BRETT - You know it.

JAMES - Man! gosh she's heavy!

DEAN - What do you expect. She's a discus thrower, of course she's all packed up with muscles and strength.

JAMES - I mean come on! out of all the people we've kidnapped and interrogated, she's the only one who feels like a manikin.

DEAN - Joke?

JAMES - Nah I'm serious.

ANNA - Tie her arms and legs behind the chair. Duct tape her mouth.

JENSEN - Got it.

BRETT - Everyone all set?

ALL - Yes.

(Brett takes a cup of water and splashes it onto Lily's face)

LILY - (Wakes up) Mm?! (pants) Mmm!! Mmm!!! (squirming, trying to get out).

JENSEN - Shush!

JAMES - Calm down, we're not going to do any harm.

DEAN - We're the CIO, Crisis Intelligence Organisation.

ANNA - We're just going to ask you a couple of questions. This is regarding you and your team's performance today.

BRETT - Right then, I'm sure you're now aware of the procedures. When I remove the duct tape off your mouth don't go off screaming, and don't worry once we're done we'll let you go.

(Removes the duct tape off her mouth)

LILY - (Pants louder) Huh?! phew...w-what do you want?

BRETT - First of all I want to commend your excellent performance today. That was a whopping throw you did today.

LILY - Oh um...thanks.

BRETT - You uh, happy about your win?

LILY - Yes, I'm very happy. Never felt better y'know.

JENSEN - I don't mean to be rude to you but...are you aware of being drugged?

LILY - Drugged? no! never, I never take drugs. It's perfectly against my wish.

ANNA - Really? are you sure? are you lying?

LILY - I'm not lying! I haven't taken any drugs.

JENSEN - Tell us the truth! are you hiding it from us because it's your team's secret?

JAMES - Spit it out!

LILY - Stop!! I-I-I'm not lying I haven't taken drugs! w-why don't y-you believe me (sobs in sorrow).

DEAN - I don't think she's lying, she probably did train hard don't you think?

BRETT - That's one possibility. But there's still a chance, were you given any vitamin tablets during training sessions with your team or at home?

LILY - Yes! I-I only take vitamin tablets my team gives me.

DEAN - Interesting....(whispers) Brett, I'm guessing they've drugged their team players.

BRETT - (Whispers) That's what I'm thinking. Lily, how old are you?

LILY - 19.

ALL - (Astonished).

BRETT - Heard that guys, she's 19.

LILY - What about it?

BRETT - Lily, tell us how your sporting career took off.

LILY - W-Well back in Grade 8 I was a very good discus thrower. I entered national level track and field competitions and came first. I had a successful winning streak right from Grade 8 till Grade 10. Everything changed when I received a letter from the Dalek Capital Athletic Club. They gave me a scholarship to enter their school. After a huge talk with my family about this, they finally allowed me to give up my studies to be in this Athletic Club. From then on it was strict training from morning to evening.

Our everyday routine would be to get up on our feet, work on our discus drills and skills from 8am till 5pm. This was the case everyday. I didn't do well in the first couple of track and field meets, this is my first Olympic game. Our team's nutritionist introduced a new supplement for us to enhance our performance, he gave this to us and our team 6 months in advance before the games. Every lunch time our nutritionist would gives us that supplement.

BRETT - Hold it right there. Was that supplement a tablet?

LILY - Yes.

BRETT - Anna, bring me the drug encyclopaedia.

LILY - Why the drug encyclopaedia? I'm telling you repeatedly, I haven't taken any drugs!

DEAN - Shush!

BRETT - Now I'm going to flip page by page. You stop me where you see the tablet you were given okay?

LILY - (Nods).

[Scene 8]

(Keeps flipping the pages. Now on section S)

DEAN - Well? is it any of them?

LILY - No....wait! wait!! stop!! that's the one! that's the one they gave me.

BRETT - This? y-you mean these pills?

LILY - Yes yes! those pills. They gave us 2 of those for every lunch period.

JENSEN - (Shocked) Oh god.

JAMES - Not good, not good at all.

LILY - W-Why?? i-is this bad?

BRETT - Unfortunately Lily, yes. This is bad, y-you've been drugged.

LILY - (Shocked) M-Me?? d-drugged!! No!

ANNA - Shush, quiet down.

JAMES - But Lily didn't you realize there's something different about you?

LILY - What's different about me?

DEAN - Look at you. Your body structure is like that of a man, couldn't you make it out during this transformation??

LILY - Well sorry, I-I didn't know because everyone else I was training with was just like me. So I thought I was normal.

BRETT - What about during the games this afternoon, didn't you notice something different amongst you and your opponents?

LILY - (Silent in shame).

(At the Olympic stadium)

POLICE OFFICER - Security cameras were in every team room right?

SECURITY - Yes sir.

POLICE OFFICER - Including the hallway to the exit?

SECURITY - Yes.

POLICE OFFICER - Right then, I need to take a look at the footage.

SECURITY - Sure sir.

POLICE OFFICER - Rewind...Rewind. Stop! is that her?

HEAD COACH - Yes! t-that's her!! and those were the people!

POLICE OFFICER - Can't see their faces properly. Show me the front camera which is on top of the exit.

SECURITY - Yes sir.

POLICE OFFICER - Hmm....wait a second? Brett, Anna, James, Jensen and...Dean.

HEAD COACH - Y-You know them sir?

POLICE OFFICER - U-Um y-yes I do actually. I'll ring them right now.

HEAD COACH - You even have their contacts??

POLICE OFFICER - Sir don't worry. No harm has been caused, just leave the rest of this to us alright.

LILY - (Sobs) I always thought I-I was special. B-But now I'm not!! I-I'm just a faker!

BRETT - (on the phone) Hello?

POLICE OFFICER - Ehem Brett, it's me. Looks like you've kidnapped Lily from Team Dalek, am I right?

BRETT - (Silent) Yes, yes we have. Before you can jump conclusions tell the coach that everything's alright. She'll return in a matter of 30 minutes.

POLICE OFFICER - She's alright coach, nothing to worry about.

HEAD COACH - Who are the kidnappers?? what are they doing it for?

POLICE OFFICER - What's this kidnap about?

BRETT - I'll let you know later. Can you hold on for a second? Lily before playing were you drug tested?

LILY - (Wipes her tears off) N-No. I don't know why though, coach said we were cleared beforehand.

BRETT - (Signals to his team) Officer, we'll be there in half an hour to explain everything. Right now I want you to clear your station's interrogation room.

POLICE OFFICER - S-Sure I can do that, bye.

HEAD COACH - What happened?

POLICE OFFICER - The kidnappers and Lily are coming back here soon. Stay calm. Constable!

CONSTABLE - Yes sir?

POLICE OFFICER - Go to the station and clear the interrogation room. Brett needs it.

CONSTABLE - Oh I see where this is going.

POLICE OFFICER - Yes, hardcore interrogation.

[Scene 9]

(At the Olympic stadium car park)

BRETT - Go.

LILY - (Exits the car and rushes inside her team room).

HEAD COACH - Lily! you're back! t-they didn't do any harm to you did they?

LILY - No sir t-they didn't!

HEAD COACH - Officer! I want a clear explanation on why they kidnapped Lily, Now!

POLICE OFFICER - Sir hold on for a moment, I'll clear your doubts. (On the phone) Brett, where are you?

BRETT - Right here.

POLICE OFFICER - Found you and your team. I'm coming with the coach.

BRETT - Right.

(They meet)

HEAD COACH - You!! how dare you-

JAMES - Sir calm down. We're the CIO: Crisis Intelligence Organisation.

HEAD COACH - (Confused).

JENSEN - I know what you're thinking, why would we want to kidnap your team member?

ANNA - We're doing an investigation regarding the players being drugged.

HEAD COACH - Drugged?? what nonsense, there's no way they've been drugged. I can assure you of that.

BRETT - We'll come to a conclusion when we do her drug test.

JENSEN - When are we doing it?

BRETT - Now.

HEAD COACH - (Eyes opened widely and turns back to walk, after 10 steps he makes a run for it).

BRETT - Get him.

(Jensen, Police Officer and Dean chase after the coach)

(The coach runs down the stadium hallway)

DEAN - Go to the front and block him! I'll catch up!

(They rush to the front door and catch him)

HEAD COACH - Let go of me!! do you know who I am?!

POLICE OFFICER - Enough with your big introduction. (On the phone) Yes Brett we've got him what do you want us to do now?

BRETT - Bring him to your station's interrogation room, and tie him up in his chair. You know the drill don't you.

POLICE OFFICER - You betcha!

[Scene 10]

JAMES - Supervisor!

SUPERVISOR - Yes can I help you?

JAMES - We need to take a drug test immediately now. Can you arrange for it?

SUPERVISOR - Sure, come with me. What's the issue?

ANNA - We just have doubts on this young athlete.

SUPERVISOR - Hmm....me too though. I was wondering how such a young athlete could throw that far.

LILY - (Eye contacts with attitude towards the supervisor).

(In the Drug test room)

DOCTOR - Yes can I help you?

SUPERVISOR - We need to drug test this athlete.

DOCTOR - Sure, hold on for a moment while I get the apparatus ready.

BRETT - Sure.

LILY - I-I'm scared....what i-if it says positive! d-do I have to go to jail? a-am I going to be banned from the Olympics?? (sobs) w-will my sporting career be over with??

JAMES - No calm down Lily. Listen, it's not your fault. There's still plenty of clean air in you. It's only if you've taken them by choice you'll have to face those consequences. Although there is another case scenario: If you were tested positive before the games, you would've faced one of the three consequences. Luckily you're saved.

LILY - If it wasn't for coach I-I wouldn't have been tested.

ANNA - Yes, what are we going to do about coach?

BRETT - Oh that. We've taken care of him, he's at the Police station.

ANNA - Oh! for that right?

BRETT - Yes.

ANNA - This is one hell of a hectic day don't you think?

BRETT - Justice never sleeps. If it does sleep it means we're not doing our job properly.

JAMES - I can just frame this in my room for the whole world to see.

BRETT - I'm an intelligence specialist, not a poet.

JAMES - Just the tip.

DOCTOR - Right then, you're name is...

LILY - Lily.

DOCTOR - Lily, okay Lily. In this test I'll be taking a sample of your blood.

LILY - Okay.

(Doctor takes a sample of her blood)

DOCTOR - Give me 10 minutes to confirm the results.

ANNA - Sure, take your time.

[Scene 11]

(At the police station)

POLICE OFFICER - Open the door!

HEAD COACH - Let me go!! I will not waste my night at a bloody police station!! you hear me!

DEAN - Hold him down!

JENSEN - He's straining too much.

POLICE OFFICER - Got it! I've tied his arms around the chair. (Ties his legs).

JENSEN - All done.

HEAD COACH - So, you think it's all over once you've tied me up to the chair?

JENSEN - Dean, get me the silencer.

HEAD COACH - Silencer? what you're going to read me a bed time story?

JENSEN - (Tapes his mouth with duct tape).

HEAD COACH - (Shocked) Mmm....mm!!...mm!!

DEAN - Gosh, I wonder how Brett's going to handle this one.

JENSEN - (On the phone) Hello?

BRETT - Is everything okay there?

JENSEN - Yes everything's taken care of. Brett this guy is going to be a hassle. We taped his mouth with duct tape and he still won't shut up.

BRETT - That's weird, normally they shut up by the time their mouth's are taped. Oh well, just give him the shot.

JENSEN - Sure, bye! Pass me the shot.

HEAD COACH - (Confused reaction).

JENSEN - (Sprays him with anesthetic).

DEAN - Phew.

[Scene 12]

DOCTOR - Yes you're right. Her results are positive.

ANNA - Knew it.

DOCTOR - She's been drugged with steroids. Her testosterone levels are high, she has more male hormones compared to female hormones.

LILY - (Shocked) S-S-So I-I'm now....A-A man?!

JAMES - Calm down Lily.

LILY - How am I supposed to calm down when I'm practically a man?!

JAMES - Listen Lily, you're not a man. You just have more male hormones than female hormones. So you'll be going through what the males do.

LILY - That's what I said!

JAMES - No listen to me Lily. Eyes up here okay! you-are not-a man. The purpose of drugs like steroids in sport is to enhance our performance.

DOCTOR - Drug use in sport is called Doping, Lily. Doping is a form of cheating in sport, mainly because athletes use drugs to enhance their performance like James said. Reality is that males have higher testosterone levels than females meaning if I compare you with a male of the same age, height, weight, level of training and fitness. You'll still be beaten by him because he has more testosterone.

Purpose of steroids is to increase testosterone levels in an athlete so that their performance is better, and if you have higher testosterone levels it means you'll be growing like how a man would. Having the same hormones as men, experiencing similar moods and all, this includes similar features too.

LILY - H-How do I stop this!!

DOCTOR - Drugs in general are very addictive. Just like how kids are addicted to games. By the looks of it, you are motivated to stop taking drugs. Solution is to stop taking drugs.

LILY - Okay, I-I can do that (she's shivering) t-though drugs possess me like candy, I-I'll just r-reject!

ANNA - That's the spirit Lily.

LILY - Yes!

DOCTOR - If you resist yourself from taking drugs from now till next week, I can arrange for a vaccine. It'll give you your normal female hormones.

LILY - What if I still take drugs before the vaccine next week?

DOCTOR - Then we have to keep pushing the date till you finally stop. If we do it next week prior to what you said then it'll be impossible because your male hormones would be highly active and not stabilized.

BRETT - Okay Lily? remember you can always trust this doctor. If anyone offers you a tablet or medicine and you have doubts on it, you can see this doctor to check if it's the right medicine for you.

LILY - T-Thank you all. I-I would've n-never come this far if it wasn't for you.

JAMES - Our pleasure to help. Oh and your head coach will be interrogated, there'll be a chance of him, you know not coming back. A-Are you okay with that?

LILY -  Yes please!! a-and don't spare the nutritionist too! these two miscreants can't be forgiven for what they've done. Not only me but they've let the entire team, and the nation down for doping! d-don't spare them.

ANNA - (Stops voice recording on her phone) Good, now I've just voice recorded what you've said so that unnecessary riots don't occur in Dalek or here because of the Coach's fate. The public will trust you for sure because of the tone you're speaking with.

LILY - (Wipes out her tears) T-Thank you, finish your duties! (Salutes to the team).

(The team salutes back to them).

[Scene 13]

DEAN - (On the phone) Hello? Brett?

BRETT - (In the car, driving) We're almost there, hang tight.

DEAN - Okay. Jensen, he's almost here.

POLICE OFFICER - When is the big thing going to happen?

DEAN - He's on his way. It'll happen.

POLICE OFFICER - Okay, I'll be out for a while to get a burrito and a drink. Can you guys take care of the station during the time being?

JENSEN - Sure.

POLICE OFFICER - Thank you.

(Police officer exits)

DEAN - Jensen, what do you suggest we do now?

JENSEN - We have to stay alert in case he wakes up, as well as taking care of the station.

DEAN - I know, but what else?

JENSEN - Well....

BRETT - Hey guys.

DEAN - Oh hey! what happened?

BRETT - We drug tested Lily. Results were positive.

JENSEN - Woah.

ANNA - She was panicking a little when coming to know about her transformations and all. She's okay now. Doctor said if she resists taking drugs for another week he can give her a vaccine, to retain her female hormones.

JENSEN - Sounds great.

JAMES - And...Anna got a voice recording of Lily saying she doesn't want the coach or the nutritionist to be spared. So we're in the clear to take action.

DEAN - Woo! great. Brett, shall we begin?

BRETT - Yes.

[Scene 14]

(Brett is alone in the interrogation room along with the coach)

BRETT - (Splashes water on the coach's face to wake up).

HEAD COACH - (Wakes up) hmm....(shocked) mm!! mm!!

BRETT - Shush! (takes out his gun).

HEAD COACH - (Shocked, nods for no).

BRETT - I'm going to remove the duct tape off your mouth. I don't want to hear any screaming or wailing alright?

HEAD COACH - (Nods).

BRETT - (Removes the duct tape).

HEAD COACH - Huh! phew!

BRETT - We drug tested Lily. Results are positive, she's been drugged with steroids, and I know very well you're involved in this too because you tried to escape earlier on. Let me tell you one thing: Competition is not only used to see who's the best and who's the worst. It's also also a system used to tell where you stand. How does that happen? we test and see each competitor's abilities.

More specifically in sport, we have competitors aiming to win as well as the audience who are ready to get thrilled to see the exciting competition. Let me ask you a question: Will the audience be pleased to see the same results over and over again? same speed, same winner, over the time period of 100 or 200 years?

HEAD COACH  - It isn't about the audience. It's about winning and bringing glory to the nation!

BRETT - Okay, so let's take this the way you put it: glory to the nation. Say for example your country wins in every event over the time period of 10 or 20 years. All of a sudden one day, they all come to know that they've been using drugs to win in sports. Drugs if you're aware of it is a form of cheating. Your nation will come to know that they are worthless, they don't stand in sports in reality, the only reason they're winning is because of the drugs given to players.

HEAD COACH - You don't understand! I didn't want to do it! but we've never stood in the top five in any track and field event over the past 10 or 20 years. You know the pain me and the nation go through?! how many families and children have cried because of the nation's inability to come to the top?

BRETT - Train!! train hard!! drugs isn't the solution! let me tell you one thing, you can give the same dose of drugs to a 10 year old and he'll be unstoppable when in the games with the professionals. Your players won't feel they're special after seeing that. Drugs doesn't only have that effect on your players, it's the same for everyone! train your team to becoming more better! give them better drills, good food options to stay fitter and all. Don't go the risky way of putting their sporting career in danger.

HEAD COACH - (Grins) Still, I don't have the patience. Don't influence me with my job!

(Brett goes out of the room)

BRETT - Anna! pass me your phone.

ANNA - (Gives him her phone).

(Brett goes back in the room)

BRETT - (Plays the voice recording).

HEAD COACH - (Shocked).

BRETT - I think you already know what's coming to you, don't you?

HEAD COACH - (Shocked).

BRETT - I gave you options to get better, I told you all the pressure and bad stuff you'll be under. You still didn't listen, now (loads his gun).

HEAD COACH - Please! please d-don't d-do this t-to me!

BRETT - Dean! stop the recording!

DEAN - Done!

HEAD COACH - Huh?!

BRETT - You see, every time our team does this whole interrogation drill we always video record what's going on in here.

HEAD COACH - (Shocked).

BRETT - So now everything you've said: plans, rebuts, is all here. We don't want unnecessary riots going on in here and Dalek because of what's going on later on, it'll get complicated. So yes, once my job here is over I'll send this recording to those who need it and boom! all clear.

HEAD COACH - W-What's g-going t-to happen l-later o-on?

BRETT - The big finish (aims the gun at the coach).

HEAD COACH - What! p-please! d-don't kill me! I-I'll do a-anything!

BRETT - Anything?

HEAD COACH - Yes.

BRETT - Well in that case I'll open this new matter to you. I know very well that this drug scheme was put up by you and your team's nutritionist, I also know very well that there's a third figure involved in this.

HEAD COACH - T-Third figure?

BRETT - All athletes before the game have to be drug tested before the games. Your team didn't get tested, and no one from the Olympic committee pointed a finger to ask why you haven't been tested.

HEAD COACH - (Starts breaking a sweat).

BRETT - A black sheep from the Olympic committee is involved in your scheme. Tell me who that is.

HEAD COACH - You need to know who that is right? I-I'll tell you! i-it's the Olympic drug police!!

BRETT - Hmm....

HEAD COACH - We bribed him a s-sum of $10 b-billion to skip our drug test, and also to not question why!

BRETT - Ooh, $10 b-billion. Wow! how many sports equipment, fitness apparatuses could you have bought out of that money to improve your team's ability?

HEAD COACH - (Silent).

BRETT - I see. Well, thank you very much!

HEAD COACH - I-I'm off the hook r-right?!

BRETT - (Points his gun at the coach again).

HEAD COACH - W-What?! w-we had a d-deal?!

BRETT - We had a deal. You heard the affected athlete. Your act has caused this young athlete to have sleepless nights from now on, leading into depression and trying to cope with her unhealthy body. Too much to handle for a young athlete I can tell you that for sure. The girl wants you dead! her wishes, my command (shoots him on the head, and blows his gun in style) (Takes the coach's phone out of his pocket).

(Brett exits the room).

BRETT - (Packing his stuff) Well, looks like my work here is done.

ANNA - Well? any further investigation.

BRETT - Yes, apparently there's a third party involved in this. We'll meet up with this third person and give him the same treatment. For now, lights out!

JENSEN - Great move Brett.

[Scene 15]

(Back at the stadium)

BRETT - We're the CIO. We want to see Lily from Team Dalek.

GUARD - Yes, you may go in.

BRETT - Thank you.

D. MEMBER #1 - Hey it's them.

LILY - Hey guys. W-What happened?

ANNA - The coach (uses her finger to cut her neck).

LILY - Really?? wow! t-thank you!! phew I'm so relieved now.

D. MEMBER #1 - What's going on over there?

LILY - C-Can I tell them?

DEAN - Go for it.

LILY - Guys our coach is dead!

TEAM DALEK - W-What?!! h-he's d-dead!! w-what the heck!!

JENSEN - True story everyone.

D. MEMBER #2 - H-How?? d-did he die??

BRETT - We umm.....killed him.

TEAM DALEK - You what?!

D. MEMBER #3 - How dare you!! I'm calling the police!!

JAMES - Hup! before you do anything first listen. We're not really kidnappers okay! we're from the CIO: Crisis Intelligence Organisation.

TEAM DALEK - (Confused).

JENSEN - We don't destroy for unnecessary reasons, we destroy to protect.

D. MEMBER #5 - W-What did coach d-d-do very wrong?!

BRETT - Anna, play the recording.

ANNA - (Plays the video recording of what happened in the interrogation room. Every athlete is shocked).

D. MEMBER #10 - W-What!! w-w-we're-

LILY - Yes, w-we're all drugged. That's why we've been magnificent today.

TEAM DALEK - (Moaning and panicking).

BRETT - Everyone calm down! I hope you all by now know why we did this to your coach.

D. MEMBER #6 - Salute to you sir! y-you've done a great job. Our sporting career's would've been ruined anytime. More over o-our lives would've been in more danger if this was going on for much longer.

D. MEMBER #16 - You've done a good job CIO. We as a team thank you.

ANNA - I hope you all understand why we had to take drastic measures. We think twice before doing something like this. We considered the fact that your lives and sporting careers are at great risk, the Olympics won't be good for the audience as the results are easily predictable and, it's a shame for the entire nation if the truth was out.

BRETT - Any comments, questions or concerns?

D. MEMBER #20 - We still have our qualifying rounds. W-Will you drop us out of the games?

DEAN - No, we're excusing you all just for now because you were all unaware of this.

D. MEMBER #26 - We don't have our coach with us now, w-who will train us now? g-give us tips and all?

JAMES - That umm...d-don't worry about that. We're going to make those arrangements pretty soon. You'll have your replacement coach by the qualifying rounds, d-don't worry.

JENSEN - Anything else? very well, we'll be taking off from here.

BRETT - Finally one more thing: Don't go about spreading this news to everyone alright? we are the only bearers of the evidence, we don't want press media and other key people bugging us for the evidence all at once. We ourselves are going into further investigation with this case because, it's not over yet. If anyone asks don't tell them unless they keep bugging you, okay?

TEAM DALEK - Okay, thanks!

ANNA - Your welcome. Rest well! and don't worry, we've made arrangements for you all next week to get your vaccines from the doctor here. Two types of vaccines will be given: for the men, your vaccine will lower your testosterone levels. For the women, your vaccine will not only lower your testosterone levels but also give you back your female hormones.

TEAM DALEK - Thank you CIO!

JENSEN - Your welcome. Take care!

[Scene 16]

(Next day morning)

BRETT - (Wakes up and picks up his phone to dial).

ANNA - Hello?

BRETT - It's me, Brett. You remember our plan for today right?

ANNA - Yes.

BRETT - In another hour and so meet me at the Olympic stadium, North Gate. Call and tell the others.

ANNA - Sure, bye! (Dials the others using conference call).

ALL - Hello?

ANNA - In another hour and so meet me and Brett at the Olympic stadium, North Gate. We're going to execute today's plan.

ALL - Got it!

(Everyone gets ready and drives to the Olympic stadium, North Gate).

ANNA - Hey!

BRETT - Hey! are the others on their way?

JENSEN - Hey guys!

JAMES - What's up?

DEAN - Yo yo!

BRETT - Doin' good. Had a good rest last night?

DEAN - Yes.

JAMES - Just, had enough sleep.

BRETT - Okay. Today we don't have much to do, we're just going to repeat the same drill with this Olympic drug police and make arrangements for the replacement head coach.

JENSEN - We'll split into two! you and Dean go for the drug police.

BRETT/DEAN - Got it.

JENSEN - Rest of us will make arrangements for the new head coach. We need the replacement by tomorrow or it'll be too late.

ANNA - Good plan, let's go!

(The team splits into two, now heading to do their jobs)

[Scene 17]

GUARD - Yes sir can I help you?

DEAN - We're the CIO, we want to meet the drug police.

GUARD - Sure, come in. Now just go straight down the hall, third last office to your left.

BRETT - Thank you.

(They go down the hallway).

DRUG POLICE - Yes, come in.

(Brett and Dean enters the office and plops themselves down on a seat).

DRUG POLICE - Yes men, can I help you?

(Brett and Dean give each other an eye contact signal).

DEAN - We're the CIO: Crisis Intelligence Organisation.

DRUG POLICE - Yes, yes, carry on (writing his paperwork).

BRETT - We're doing an investigation, regarding Team Dalek's performance.

DRUG POLICE - (Stops writing all of a sudden, keeps his head down) O-Okay, w-what do you want me t-to do about that?

DEAN - $10 billion.

DRUG POLICE - (Shocked) W-What??

DEAN - The bribe amount which you had accepted.

DRUG POLICE - (Shocked) W-W-What??! h-how do y-you-

BRETT - You think it's easy to just spot the criminals don't you? I'll tell you what, it's easy to spot criminals and black sheep.

DRUG POLICE - (Shocked).

BRETT - (Makes the noise of a sheep to intimidate him more).

DRUG POLICE - (Attempts to throw a pen at Brett).

BRETT - (Reacts and moves his head away) Oh so that's how this is going to work huh?

DRUG POLICE - (Pushes everything off his table and tries to make a run for it).

DEAN - I'll get him!

BRETT - I'll get the car, North Gate.

(The drug police and Dean in a big chase).

DEAN - (While running he comes close to the police, side by side. He kicks the back knees of the police).

DRUG POLICE - (Falls down in much pain. Lays down as if he's willing to surrender).

DEAN - Nice try, punk! (pulls him along and brings him outside the stadium).

BRETT - (At North Gate, sees Dean with the police) Chuck him inside.

DEAN - (Stuffs him in the back of car).

(They drive off).

[Scene 18]

ANNA - (On the phone) Yes we need a replacement coach urgently! the current coach here is unable to stay with the team, his health is serious. You are? okay thank you very much! i-is he well qualified and trained? yes, thank you that'll be great. Your team's qualifying rounds are tomorrow, we need him by then. Thank you, thank you very much. Yes, we'll pick him up, don't worry. Bye!

JAMES - We got 'em?

ANNA - Yes.

JENSEN - Why didn't you just tell them that we killed the guy?

ANNA - Seriously man, I don't want to deal with nonsense talk going for the next hour or so about his death.

JAMES - You could've told them that we have the evidence to back it up. That'll shut 'em up.

ANNA - It's not that easy. If it's here only then it's okay. We're going to be dealing with problems from all three sides: Our investigation, Olympic regulations regarding the coach's presence and riots and mourning in Dalek. Just too much.

TIM - Hey guys what's up?

JAMES - Hey Tim.

JENSEN - What's up?

TIM - I umm....(nervous) want to say something important (giggling).

JAMES - Oh boy, here we go again.

TIM - Anna! w-will you marry me?!

ANNA - (Shocked).

JAMES/JENSEN - (Shocked) The heck??

TIM - I mean come on, you know how many times I've said "I love you" to Anna and things would never work out, I decided to be different this time and go with "Will you marry me".

ANNA - (Pissed, feeling bad for Tim sarcastically).

JAMES - Tim, come here. Sit down. Now then where were we?

TIM - Planning our wedding?

JAMES - Ah yes! Tim let me give you a piece of advice. It's not really advice, it's more of General Knowledge: If "I love you" doesn't work out then "Marry me" won't work either.

TIM - But why? come on! I mean I even wore her favourite perfume today!

ANNA - Oh, you. Wearing my favourite perfume, what is it?

TIM - Lynx, make the girls go Meow!

JENSEN - Jeez man, enough. Right, that's not her favourite perfume!

ANNA - It's Versace, not Lynx. One more thing, don't believe everything advertisements say about these products alright?

TIM - Why would they lie?

ANNA - Because they think these scents attract women, when they don't!! they just make us more cautious about when a guy's about to hit on us.

TIM - D-Did I do that?

ALL - (Nods) Yes.

TIM - Man this sucks. At least does-

ANNA - No Tim, this cat will not go "Meow" no matter how hard you try. It's always a growl.

TIM - Cats don't growl! unless you're a lion, or a tiger, or or-

ANNA - I'm a Tigress.

TIM - Damn girl.

ANNA - Don't even think about it.

TIM - Can I at least-

JENSEN - Sorry, we ran out of tissues. You're most welcome to cry outside!

TIM - (Leaves).

JAMES - Man what is it with this guy?

JENSEN - Can't he just hang out with us for once, y'know like a guy!! spending time with a guy!!

JAMES - Ew...what, are we gay?

JENSEN - You and your sick mind. Stick a soap in your mouth. I'm talking about Man time!

ANNA - What is this "man time" you so call?

JENSEN - It's complicated you girls won't understand.

ANNA - I'll understand when I live a life with my man.

JAMES - Oh really?

ANNA - Yes, he'll just cut me off and say "Oh I've got a party to go to" "Oh I'm all drunk again" "Oh I'm too lazy to clean my room".

JENSEN - You're mocking us?

ANNA - Not mocking, it's the reality. We outgo you in activeness.

JAMES - Oh really?

ANNA - Yes.

JAMES - Start talking.

ANNA - Okay I will. Can you tell me why men are so lazy?

JENSEN - Huh! lazy?! when have we ever been lazy?

JAMES - I know right?? totally a flaw.

ANNA - Oh, what do you call it then when I say you're lazy?

JENSEN - I'll say I'm not lazy, I'm just tired and need a break.

ANNA - Really? you take a huge 16 hour break? what are you? sleeping on a flight that's circling the globe?

JAMES - Listen Anna. In your girls language it's called "lazy", our language it's called an "art".

JENSEN - Good one!

ANNA - An art, how c-can you please explain?

JAMES - Y-You see, when we're taking a huge break like you said we men have what's called the power of imagination. While taking a break we control our imagination to paint pictures, moments and stories in our minds with our eyes closed. When our eyes open in the end, we don't recall what we've just created. The fun part is that you don't need to even try to paint these things in your mind, it just happens once we close our eyes (winks in the end).

ANNA - (Sarcastically) Oh so your huge definition for art is nothing but....dreaming.

JENSEN - (Pissed).

ANNA - Simply just day dreaming or dreaming in sleep am I right?

JAMES - (Pissed, scratching his head).

ANNA - Ehem, what happened? you both broke your fuse box? hahaha!!

JENSEN - (Whispers to James) I ask you to say something that'll freeze her, instead you're freezing us? The entire worldwide association of men is going to spit on you.

[Scene 19]

(At the police station)

POLICE OFFICER - Right then, carry on.

DEAN - Thank you sir, (brings him into the room).

DRUG POLICE - Let go of me! I will not tolerate such acts!! I will report you to the police!!

DEAN - This is the police!

DRUG POLICE - (Silenced).

DEAN - Sit down!

DRUG POLICE - Or else what?

DEAN - (Takes out his gun, and loads it).

DRUG POLICE - Okay okay! I will! don't rush me!

DEAN - Now then, (ties him to his chair).

DRUG POLICE - Oi! I'm already sitting down! why are you tying me to the chair?? what am I? a fragile box?

DEAN - Oh you'll see, we don't want you running away in the end.

DRUG POLICE - Running away in the-?

BRETT - Positions!

DEAN - Right! (turns on video recording).

BRETT - (Eye contact with the drug police) Hmm...you were just minding your own job. You should've just done that right? why on earth would you accept a $10 billion bribe?

DRUG POLICE - (Silent).

BRETT - Oh! (gestures money with his hands) this is why right? answer me!!

DRUG POLICE - (Nods his head quickly).

BRETT - Tell me? what're you going to...do with this $10 billion?

DRUG POLICE - J-Just what o-other people do: Spend it, build a house, become a rich man!

BRETT - Necessities, overrated housing and the belly of a rich boy huh? let me clear one thing with you: That money won't last you a year, wait wait: not even 6 months. Do you know why?

DRUG POLICE - W-Why?

BRETT - You got the money by cash or credit?

DRUG POLICE - Cash of course! what do you think?

BRETT - Hmm...Cash. Now then there are two things you can do with that money: firstly you can hide it in your house and spend as much as you want. Secondly you can put in the bank and spend all you like!

DRUG POLICE - Sure sure, thanks for planning my accounts!

BRETT - Let me finish: I can guarantee you that you'll be getting a letter from your bank asking why you deposited $10 billion all at once, they'll even ask where you got that much money from. They are smart people, they can just search up who you are and conclude by saying your usual salary is nothing but $135,000 a year.

DRUG POLICE - (Swallows his saliva in tension).

BRETT - They'll arrest you, for being involved with black money.

DRUG POLICE - (Lets out a heavy breath).

BRETT - Other possibility is that the Income Tax office finds out that you haven't been spending money lately over the past 6 months, they'll investigate through this and come to a conclusion saying that you're still alive, healthy and working. A warrant will be sent out to the police by them and they'll head down here to search your entire house for money, (whispers) they'll even check your bank.

DRUG POLICE - (Tensed, sweat runs down).

BRETT - In the end, you'll get arrested. You see what I'm trying to get through you? now tell me, is this bribe money a good thing or a bad thing? will you still be able to live a good and problem-free life? how many lies will you scream out to your family about your new-found wealth?

DRUG POLICE - Umm....

BRETT - You won't handle it would you?

DRUG POLICE - Apparently, your possibilities don't apply to me!

BRETT - (Silent) Why may I ask?

DRUG POLICE - Firstly I have a Swiss Bank account: they don't care about how much money I deposit or withdraw.

BRETT - (Silent).

DRUG POLICE - They won't even let the Income tax officers, or even the government to lay hands on my account if it's necessary, do you know why? it's because it's my account! my private account!! something only I can utilize, not the others.

BRETT - Hmm...

DRUG POLICE - My wife and I are divorced! I only live alone! me and my friends next door!! that's my life! alright?! don't think you're so great okay? you're not the world's next avatar: destroyer of all evil. Just because you're the CIO doesn't mean you can do everything perfectly.

BRETT - Ehem! do you know what separates us from you?

DRUG POLICE - Speak up!! you're giving me nothing!!

BRETT - You are in charge of having the teams doing their drug test. Not only that, you're also in charge of checking if their drug tests have been done. That's it! we on the other hand, we deal with problems, huge problems, problems that not only happen here but also connecting from other parts of the world. We plan, serious in a way that we end up 100% successful in the end. We're fit! we're smart! we know each and every move of people like you! and once we've tracked down each and every criminal or black sheep, there is no doubt that he'll suffer by the end of the week. Any questions!!

DRUG POLICE - Hmm!! very good! I-I'm very impressed you could tell me why we're different. I've gone over why I'm clear as crystal, what're you going to do to me huh? huh? huh?

BRETT - Stop recording!

DRUG POLICE - What?

DEAN - Done!

DRUG POLICE - What's going on over here?!

BRETT - Remember how I told you we're smart? we're also well prepared, beforehand!

DRUG POLICE - (Shocked).

BRETT - Let me tell you how our team's interrogation works: We bring people like you into the room, tie you up, we video record what's going on inside here.

DRUG POLICE - V-V-Video record-

BRETT - You heard me! video record. Every single step you said you would take to clear your $10 billion problem is all in our hands. I'm not afraid to send this to the Olympic committee, The Government, Income Tax office or Swiss Bank. Gosh! that's a lot actually, you'll get attacked on all 4 sides.

DRUG POLICE - No. No!!

BRETT - That's not all. Do you know what happens in the end? we finish with a bang!

DRUG POLICE - With a...bang?

BRETT - (Draws his gun and loads it. Points it towards the drug police's head).

DRUG POLICE - Huh! no!! no!! please!!

BRETT - You see the last one is optional. During the interrogation time I give you solutions as if I'm your guiding angel. From then on your fate is hanging off a cliff. You chose not to listen so what does that mean?

DRUG POLICE - No!! No!! No!!!

BRETT - Good night Sheep!! (shoots him in the head) on the bright side, you won't have to face arrests, sacks or court orders after this.

DEAN - What do we do with the recording?

BRETT - Keep it. If anyone asks you can give a copy of the recording.

DEAN - Okay. So now we conclude Day 2 right?

BRETT - You betcha. Gosh, lots of work man. What does it take to tell the accused to go by my solutions?

DEAN - Tell them the disclaimer beforehand?

BRETT - Nah! won't work. They won't mean what they say. They need to make a decision that comes from here (hand on heart) not over fear of death.

DEAN - Right.

[Scene 20]

(At the airport arrival hall)

JAMES - Is he coming?

ANNA - The Athletics Club gave me the coach's number. His flight arrived 30 minutes ago right?

JAMES - Yes.

ANNA - He should've cleared everything by now. I'll give him a ring (dials the coach's number).

R. COACH - Oh what? (picks up the phone) Hello?

ANNA - Hi, this is Anna. I'm told to pick you up. A-Are you here yet?

R. COACH - Ah yes, the Athletic Club told me. Yes I'm coming with my luggage, there was long queue at the immigration.

ANNA - Oh okay.

R. COACH - I'll be coming out shortly. How can I recognize you?

ANNA - I'll be holding a placard written "Dalek Coach".

R. COACH - Right then, see you shortly.

ANNA - Okay.

R. COACH - (Cuts the call) Hmm...that must be them.

JAMES - Anna is that him? he's coming for us.

ANNA - Probably.

JAMES - Dalek Coach?

R. COACH - Yes, Hi nice to meet you! the name's Johnston.

JAMES - James.

R. COACH - Anna right?

ANNA - Yes.

R. COACH - Ah yes. Nice to meet you.

ANNA - You too.

R. COACH - Right then. If you can show me where the restroom is, I have to go really badly.

JAMES - Just there.

R. COACH - Thanks, be back in a jiffy.

JAMES - (Starts suspecting something).

ANNA - What's with you?

JAMES - I'm just thinking. The head coach said they introduced this drugging strategy to everyone in Team Dalek. I'm getting the feeling that even athletes other than the team athletes are being drugged.

ANNA - That's a good point. No worries about that, I searched this coach up. He is a top-notch clean coach. Head of the athletics department at the club. I browsed several drug markets; legal and illegal ones. He hasn't made purchases of drugs. In fact he's one of those coach's that believes in a healthy lifestyle, rather than risky ones.

JAMES - Nice move you made there.

ANNA - Told you women can multitask.

JAMES - When did you say multitask?

ANNA - Oh I didn't mention that? now you now.

JAMES - Gosh Anna. What's with you and being sexist?

ANNA - Ehem, I only said women can multitask. I didn't attack on the men did I?

JAMES - Technically umm......No, no you didn't.

ANNA - Ha!! just got burned by a girl!

JAMES - A girl who's the size of-

R. COACH - Hey, I'm back. Shall we go?

ANNA - Sure.

(The coach and Anna leaves, James stays to finish his line)

JAMES - The hell? I didn't even finish? how come they get to finish their lines and not me? timing (sighs).

[Scene 21]

O. SECRETARY - Sir! Sir! Sir!

O. OFFICER - What! what is it?! w-why are you shouting?

O. SECRETARY - Look at this video recording!

O. OFFICER - What is this?

O. SECRETARY - It's our Drug police! h-he's been interrogated!

O. OFFICER - What?! s-show it.

(Plays the entire video recording)

O. OFFICER - That god damn son of a-

O. SECRETARY - Who are you scolding sir?

O. OFFICER - The drug police obviously! who else? now look! we're going to face a ton of peers if this goes out to public. W-Who sent this?

O. SECRETARY - Brett, a specialist from the Crisis Intelligence Organisation.

O. OFFICER - Okay, he did a really good deed. He saved us from being corrupt. Do one thing, congratulate that agency and keep this to yourself. We'll show this clip to the entire Olympic committee, this will only be between us.

O. SECRETARY - Yes sir.

(Swiss Bank reaction)

S. OFFICER - Oh god! he's trying to corrupt us!

(Income Tax officer)

I. OFFICER - Oh god.

(Back to Dean)

DEAN - Okay is everyone in conference call?

ALL - Yes.

DEAN - Now listen. Don't publicize this okay? it's because the Olympics are going on, the event will be spoilt if this went out. Do your duties quietly so that no one outside takes notice. We've given the players their warning, if this act repeats then we'll allow you to publicize it alright?

S. OFFICER - Sure, but what are we supposed to do? he hasn't deposited the $10 billion into his account yet. What do we do now?

DEAN - For now just keep this event to yourselves. Same goes to the Income tax officer.

I. OFFICER - Got it.

O. OFFICER - Same goes to us?

DEAN - Yes.

ALL - Thank you (drops the call).

BRETT - Done?

DEAN - Yes.

[Scene 22]

R. COACH - Got it? I've made arrangements for your healthy eats.

LILY - (Scared).

ANNA - (Signals towards Lily) Don't worry, he's not evil.

LILY - (Huge relief breath).

R. COACH - Right then, shall we get into training?

DALEK TEAM - Yes!

R. COACH - Right then, now start your warm up 5 laps, followed by stretches. After you're done, wait for my instructions.

(Team heads out onto the track to warm up).

JENSEN - Thanks a lot coach.

R. COACH - My pleasure, it's been my dream to train the national team. I've been waiting for ages to get this opportunity.

ANNA - Well, wish you and your team best of luck.

R. COACH - Right.

(The specialists turn around to leave but then stopped)

R. COACH - Excuse me? could I clarify what happened to the previous coach?

JAMES - (Stammering) H-he um..

ANNA - Coach, he's been killed.

R. COACH - (Higher tone) What!

JENSEN - Shush! keep it down. Don't worry your entire team knows about this. Anna did you get the video recording copy from Dean?

ANNA - Yes, here.

JENSEN - Watch this.

(Coach watches the video recording and is stunned)

R. COACH - C-Coach d-drugged them??

ANNA - Yes. I know it's hard to take this.

R. COACH - W-Who shot him?

ANNA - H-he's one of us.

R. COACH - Well, I on my behalf have nothing to object about this. He was given various solutions to work on so he could be free, pour soul he didn't listen. Well, he got his treatment.

JAMES - I'm glad you understood sir. Don't take this pressure to your head, we've made arrangements for Estrogen and testosterone control vaccines next week.

JENSEN - We've informed the entire team beforehand to resist taking drugs for another week so that the vaccine could be of good use. You have to make sure that not only are they fit and well trained, but also ensuring they have a proper diet, that includes inspecting if someone decides to take drugs.

R. COACH - S-Sure, I can do that.

ANNA - One more thing, don't publicize this news to anyone. This is between you, us and your team. No third party alright?

R. COACH - Yes, definitely.

ANNA - Right then, we'll make our move. Bye.

R. COACH - Bye!

[Scene 23]

BRETT - (Gets a call) Hello?

ANNA - The replacement coach is into action. He's training the team.

BRETT - Did you further check that he's not involved in any drug activities?

ANNA - Yes, he's clean as a paper. Not to worry, we showed him the video because he asked regarding the previous coach's death. We told him to keep it to himself.

BRETT - Good.

ANNA - What are your next plans.

BRETT - Last task, then we're done with this mission. Once you get back, book tickets for us to head to Vaeri. The Dalek Capital Athletics Club is there.

ANNA - Heading for the nutritionist.

BRETT - Exactly.

ANNA - Got it. For tomorrow?

BRETT - Yes. To and fro flight tickets. I want to get this mission done and over with. Make the return ticket possibly two days after tomorrow.

ANNA - Sure.

BRETT - That's it. I'll see you later. Bye.

ANNA - Bye (drops the call). (Looks out into the distance, thinking).

DEAN - Was that Anna?

BRETT - Yes. We're packing our bags for Vaeri tomorrow.

DEAN - Okay.

[Scene 24]

(James, Jensen and Anna reach their flats)

JAMES - I know right? he could've scored the shot in another angle.

JENSEN - I still think he scored it the safe way, they would've lost if it wasn't for his goal leading to a tie.

(Bell rings)

JENSEN - (Opens the door) Tim??

TIM - Uh uh!

JENSEN - W-What're you doing??

TIM - Just have some things to say.

JENSEN - To us? or Anna?

TIM - Both!

JENSEN - Come in.

JAMES - Oh what?? why did you let him in?

JENSEN - Prepare the Men's Association papers.

JAMES - Oh! he's joining the club? finally!

TIM - Anna.

JAMES - Huh? I thought you-

TIM - Do you know how long I've been trying to hit on you?

ANNA - I don't know?

TIM - 3 years! 3 years. You know the pain I go through each day trying to win you over?

ANNA - I hear your crying every night, approximately at 2:30am.

TIM - You Matrix head!! y-you even keep track of when I cry at night?? w-what's wrong with you?

ANNA - Huh? me?

TIM - Then?? Just because you're in an intelligence agency doesn't mean you keep your face like a strict English teacher! come on! be a girl for once! h-haven't you come by love?? even once during your career??

ANNA - Umm..

TIM - Come on speak up?? if you keep track of when I cry at night, why can't you keep track of my love meter??

ANNA - Love meter?

TIM - Never heard of it! it measures love! in shivers/second.

ANNA - Oh.

TIM - Tell me! haven't you ever come by love!! are are you a tomboy!

JENSEN - Oi! I'm watching you from the beginning. Instead of joining the Men's Association you're dealing with black magic! w-what are you thinking! how will they ever become one of us!

TIM - Then? I-I mean just look at her! she appears to be a girl but in the inside her personality is that of Simon Cowell! Seriously girl!

ANNA - Simon Cow- where's that knife! where is it?!

(James comes in between)

JAMES - Now now I know what you're thinking. D-Don't do it! we'll end up in a murder case!

JENSEN - Control yourself Anna! don't-

ANNA - Gah!! (Tackles Tim like a rugby tackle).

TIM - Ah!!! help!! help!!

(Anna and Tim rolling on the floor during the tackle)

JAMES - (Mouth wide open) A-Are you seeing this?

JENSEN - And my mum told me, never watch R rated movies.

ANNA - I won't leave without strangling the living lights out of you!!

TIM - No please please!! I-I have a life!!

ANNA - What life? you spend your time trying to hit on me!!

TIM - No please!! no!!

ANNA - (Slaps him back and forth).

BRETT - (Enters the flat and witnesses this).

JAMES - Oh s**t!

DEAN - (Whispers) The heck??

BRETT - (Whispers) What's going on here?

JENSEN - They umm...they did this...and they did that...now they're on the floor.

JAMES - I don't know if it's love or anger. Or both!

DEAN - Alright stop!! everyone!! stop!!

(Tim and Anna get up, panting)

ANNA - (Panting) Brett! Dean!! W-When did you guys come?

BRETT - (Eyes wide open, staring at Anna).

ANNA - Heh?

BRETT - A buh buh buh r-r-right now.

ANNA - D-Don't w-worry e-everything is under control (pinches Tim).

TIM - Ow!!

ANNA - (Whispers) Act cool or you die.

DEAN - What?

TIM - Hmm hehehe?

JAMES - I umm....will be back. Need the bathroom.

JENSEN - M-Me too, I-I need a-a cup of water.

(They both leave the living room)

ANNA - Brett!

BRETT - (Snaps out of it) Yes!! yes?

ANNA - A-Are you okay?

DEAN - (Whispers) I think the real question is: Are they okay? you know what I mean?

BRETT - Shush. W-We're okay, w-we h-had a sauerkraut side dish eat before heading here...

DEAN - The taste is just "kicking in". Really um, quite disturbing.

ANNA - Okay.

TIM - C-Can I go t-talk to Jensen and James? I-I did promise them I'll enter the M-Men's Association.

DEAN - (Confused) W-What??

TIM - Long story.

ANNA - (Yells) Go!

TIM - (In fear) T-Thanks.

[Scene 25]

TIM - (Sees them talking privately in their room) W-What're you guys doing here? (closes the door).

JENSEN - Did you divide the house?

TIM - Joke?

JENSEN - Just saying, I mean, Yeah.

TIM - I did promise you all, Men's Association.

JAMES - R-Right.

JENSEN - (Eye contacts with James back to back).

TIM - W-What are you guys doing? you're acting strange.

JAMES - Ehem, h-h-how w-was the tackle experience?

TIM - D-Don't even think about it! it was horrific!! it was like being slammed down by a wrestler. Well, looks like she's even got the fury and strength of Dwayne Johnson.

JENSEN - (Gulps in fear) D-Dwayne J-Johnson??

(Anna slowly opens the door to see what's going on inside)

JAMES - Uh oh!

JENSEN - (Whispers) What?

JAMES - (Points at Anna).

JENSEN - (Shocked).

TIM - But you know what? at the same time it was a good experience. We've never touched each other before, no hugs, no kisses, no hand on hand or anything like that. Today, straight away we were closer than ever.

JAMES - S-S-Shhh....

TIM - No listen I'm not done-

JENSEN - (Gulps).

TIM - It felt amazing! she made her move first before I could.

ANNA - (Getting angry).

TIM - She fell on me, I got shocked, and then we we're rolling on the floor, and finally in the end she was on top beating the lights out of me. Ah!!! how could this day get any better?

JENSEN - I-It won't actually. I-It'll just get worse.

TIM - How dare you say such thing? what are you a fortune teller?

JAMES - I am, for your information, in a way.

TIM - Oh oh!! you're testing me huh? trying to see if I'm man enough for the Men's Association right?? test me! come on! tell me my fate.

JAMES - (In a fortune telling tone and mood) Tim, Tim!! y-you're fate awaits....once you've turned around!

TIM - Oh, the door! really?? (turns around) Ah!

ANNA - (Expecting Tim).

TIM - (Looks back at James) huh?? n-not so good for me right??

JAMES - What goes around, comes around child!

ANNA - You...bloody-

TIM - N-N-No, p-please!

ANNA - Ah!!!! (throws all the stuff in the room at Tim).

TIM - Ah!!

JENSEN - Throw it at him!! not us!!

ANNA - I will throw it at you!! him discussing this matter and you both eagerly listen to it, s**t!! (continues her rage).

JAMES - Ah!!

(In the living room)

DEAN - Oh boy.

BRETT - At it again?

DEAN - Yes.

BRETT - Man, d-do we have to do everything!

ANNA - I'll cause your death tonight child!!

TIM - No!! I'm 23!!

ANNA - Oh that's my favourite number.

TIM - Really? see, something in common.

ANNA - Not anymore!! Die!!

TIM - No No!!!

BRETT - Guys!! break it up! break it up!! (Splits them all apart). Seriously?? I come back here to check on you and this is what I see? a Chimpanzee emporium??

ANNA - H-He started it!! you know what that thing said about me??

BRETT - W-What did you call her.

TIM - I-I don't remember.

ANNA - You don't remember!! I-I'll kill you!!!

BRETT - Calm down! please!! gosh, what did he say?

ANNA - He said I'm Simon Cowell on the inside!!

BRETT - Heh? (looks at Tim) really??

TIM - (Looks down, feeling ashamed).

ANNA - I started calming down, that was until I came here to get my stuff. This guy, after getting thrashed, talked about how that tackling moment was most romantic!!

BRETT - Heh? Really?

TIM - (Heavy breath).

BRETT - Tim I think you overdid yourself today. You can go now.

ANNA - B-But I need to kill him!!

TIM - I'll call the police!!

ANNA - We are the police!!

TIM - (While running away) No you're not!

ANNA - That son of a troll!! jeez! after a ton of work I end up with this thing!! unbelievable!!

BRETT - (Walks her to the living room) Alright he's gone okay?? nothing to worry about, how about some apple juice? Dean get a cup of apple juice.

DEAN - Sure.

BRETT - Now then, e-everything alright??

ANNA - (Panting) Yes, t-thank you, and you two!!

JENSEN - Gah.

ANNA - If I see you hanging out with that troll. I won't even spare an hour, I'll skin you both and have it as a production line for new clothing!!

JAMES - Eh! (Covering his body).

JENSEN - (Feeling uncomfortable).

ANNA - Gosh! g-guys are just...Rrrr!

DEAN - Not all guys are trouble, I mean, we're not right?

ANNA - Yes, you're both not.

DEAN - See? what did I tell you?

ANNA - Yet!

BRETT- (Shocked) eh!

ANNA - D-Don't try and think such things! I may be a girl, you saw what happened there didn't you? I'll do it to you too!

DEAN - You're going to harass us? normally men do that-

BRETT - Shush! damn.

ANNA - Mind it, I'll be in the shower! (leaves).

BRETT/DEAN - (Breaks down laughing) Hahahaha!!!

BRETT - Oh man! oh man!!

DEAN - C-Can't take the laughter hahaha!

JENSEN - Eh?

BRETT - I guess next time she'll be like, "do that again, and I'll kiss you!" hahaha!

DEAN - M-Maybe even "I'll take you on a date if you do it again!" hahaha!

JAMES - Gah!

ANNA - Ehem.

BRETT/DEAN - (Stopped laughing).

ANNA - Hmm....haven't left yet boys. Even if I do those stuff, I'll kiss you with poison lipstick and take you to a date at the cemetery.

DEAN - (Gulps) C-Cemetery?

ANNA - (Leaves).

BRETT - Well, it was fun while it lasted.

[Scene 26]

(Anna's on the computer booking tickets)

ANNA - Guys, Dalek Air business class?

JENSEN - Sounds good. How much are the tickets?

ANNA - $100 per person.

BRETT - Book it.

DEAN - Are you kidding? that's a lot!

BRETT - Just do it.

DEAN - You mad! it's like expensive.

BRETT - Where do we need to go?

DEAN - Dalek.

BRETT - Are we on a business trip or vacation?

DEAN - Business of course.

BRETT - Business class, got it?

DEAN - I see.

JAMES - Dean why are so conscious about our budget?

DEAN - If we run out of money because we spend them on unnecessary flight tickets than how do you expect us to buy what we need during the end of our mission?

JENSEN - Like what? if we save up our money? what are the needs that we're going to spend it on?

DEAN - Well for starters the country's currency, so foreign exchange. Hotel fees, food and water-

JAMES - Underwear, swimsuit, nail polish, keep on going.

DEAN - Joke?

JAMES - Then? you're listing the things as if they're our only hope for survival.

DEAN - Because they are?

BRETT - Are we primitive?

DEAN - N-No but-

BRETT - End. Dean we know what you mean, our overall budget for this to and fro trip is $1600. $1000 for our to and fro tickets, and $600 for what we're spending there.

DEAN - Hotel?

BRETT - Covered, just $100.

DEAN - Which hotel?

BRETT - Starlux Hotel.

DEAN - Wow guys, always going for the expensive choices. Business class, a grand hotel, what's next? an auditorium?

BRETT - Yes actually.

DEAN - Oh boy.

BRETT - You booked it Anna?

ANNA - Yes, I'll go print them out.

DEAN - Man, this world just needs 100 people like you to accomplish a continental debt.

JENSEN - Haha very funny.

JAMES - Can I go outside and laugh?

DEAN - No, you can smear your face with cement and try laughing.

JAMES - Huh?

JENSEN- Burn!! he got you good!

(Jensen and Dean high five)

JAMES - Amazing, first we were all against Dean. Now I'm cornered.

BRETT - Eh No. I mean come on you've got to give credit, he made an argument against all of us and he got you back real good.

JAMES - Now that I think of I really want to cement your face!

DEAN - Go ahead, make sure you do yours before me.

BRETT - Oh!!

JENSEN - Double burn!!

JAMES - Damn this, my whole life's a lie.

BRETT - Or is it?

JAMES - Well? is it?

JENSEN - (A fortune teller's voice) James, James!! yes it is. Hahaha!!

BRETT - Hahaha!!

JAMES - Very funny, trying to mock me ay?

DEAN - Just the way things work around here.

JAMES - Gah I quit! I'm getting some apple juice! (goes for the fridge).

BRETT - May the juice be with you my friend. Hahaha!!

DEAN - Good one.

(James throws a pen at them)

BRETT - Gah! damn, talk about rage quitting.

[Scene 27]

R. COACH - Alright team! that was a good training session today. I hope everyone's all done and dusted and ready for tomorrow's qualifying round.

TEAM DALEK - Yes.

R. COACH - Good. Here I've made arrangements for food, here they are.

TEAM DALEK - Ooh.

R. COACH - Part of my job as a coach is also ensuring that you all have a healthy diet, and that's for each individual, not just the team as a whole. I'll make arrangements for each and everyone's meals based on your performance during training. Say for example Lily lacks in strength, I would designate a meal for her which will help build up her strength in particular.

LILY - (Whispers) Loving it.

R. COACH - Your assigned meal will have your name written on the foil covering. Help yourselves. Once you've finished, feel free to talk amongst yourselves. Keeping cautious of time, I want you all in bed by 10:30pm.

TEAM DALEK - Sure Coach!

R. COACH - Right then, I'll make my move.

(Team Dalek goes for their meals)

R. COACH - (Leaves the room. Goes and inspects the athletes' room, to check for drugs. Finds them in the clear and feels much relieved).

ANNA - (On the phone) Hello?

R. COACH - Hi it's me, Johnston. Training session went well, I can see them settling into their usual physical and mental states.

ANNA - Phew, glad to hear.

R. COACH - I just inspected the athletes' room, to check for drugs. They're all in the clear.

ANNA - You're doing a good job coach, we fully support you and your procedures. I hope your team puts on a good show tomorrow.

R. COACH - Yes, thank you! hopefully our true colours can shine well.

ANNA - Okay, bye! best of luck.

R. COACH - Thanks for all your help and support!

ANNA - (Drops the call. Organizes the trip documents/booking papers).

[Scene 28]

(Next day morning)

BRETT - (On the phone, conference call) Let's move.

(Everyone gets ready for their flight)

DEAN - (On the phone) I'm in the taxi, which terminal?

ANNA - Terminal 3.

DEAN - Driver! terminal 3.

DRIVER - Yes sir.

JENSEN - (On the phone) Just got into the taxi.

BRETT - (On the phone) Right! is everyone connected?

ALL - Yes.

BRETT - I'll meet you all at terminal 3, be there by 7:30am.

JAMES - Got it.

BRETT - Which check-in counters apply for Dalek Air?

ANNA - Let me check (checks the flight booking document) counters 6 to 9.

BRETT - Right, like she said we'll meet where those counters are alright?

ALL - Yes.

[Scene 29]

(Meanwhile in Vaeri)

ASSISTANT - Sir? what are you doing?

NUTRITIONIST - We tricked the athletes into taking steroids right? now I'm testing to see if I can bind two strong drugs into one, it'll give the athletes their ultimate boost.

ASSISTANT - Which drugs?

NUTRITIONIST - I'm currently testing to see Ecstasy and Steroid. They are both really strong shots y'know?

ASSISTANT - Sir! how do you do it? (praising him).

NUTRITIONIST - The head coach wanted his athletes to be praised for more than 3 decades. My formula is sure to give them that much praise from the world.

ASSISTANT - How close are you to completing this?

NUTRITIONIST - Almost done. It's been 2 rigorous weeks of work, I just have a few more bonds to create between the both. I'll be done by tomorrow.

ASSISTANT - Great sir, are you going to send it through someone to give it to Team Dalek?

NUTRITIONIST - (Slaps the assistant) Are you mad?! we'll get caught in the customs, security-check and the check-in areas! no chance! I'm going to parcel this over to them.

ASSISTANT - S-Should I make arrangements for the parcel?

NUTRITIONIST - Yes, get the stamps, layers of boxes and covering sheets. We don't want people suspecting our parcel.

ASSISTANT - Right sir.

NUTRITIONIST - I'll inform the coach now itself (dials to reach the Head Coach's number).

BRETT - (Coach's phone rings).

JENSEN - Who is it?

ANNA - Hey that's not your phone! w-who's is it?

BRETT - Shush, it's the Head Coach's phone. I took his phone out of his pocket after killing him. It'll come in handy when the suspects try to reach him.

JAMES - Awesome, answer it! answer it!

BRETT - (Answers the call).

NUTRITIONIST - Hi sir it's me, the nutritionist.

BRETT - (Signals to team) Our target.

NUTRITIONIST - I've come up with a new drug formula which would boost your team's performance even more.

BRETT - (Curious reaction).

NUTRITIONIST - I'm binding Ecstasy with Steroid.

BRETT - (Heavy breath).

NUTRITIONIST - Ehem...are you on the line?

BRETT - (Silent) (Coach's impression) Yes, I-I'm listening.

NUTRITIONIST - You okay sir? voice seems a bit deep.

BRETT - Yes I-I'm just feeling a bit sick lately. Weather's not doing any good.

NUTRITIONIST - Right then sir. I'll be done with the formula by tomorrow. We'll be sending the parcel over to you tomorrow by air.

BRETT - I see, a-as you can see we're not far from the Qualified league stages. C-Could you send it tomorrow 3pm? we'll get it within the next 2 days.

NUTRITIONIST - Yes definitely sir! not a problem. I'll do it tomorrow 3pm. Bye.

BRETT - Bye.

DEAN - Well?

BRETT - Heh.....hahahahaha!!! and to think it was going to be hard, catching the culprit. The culprit instead chooses to come searching for me! oh and he's given me information about his next plans! James! pass me a Ricola.

JAMES - (Gives it to him).

BRETT - (Tosses the Ricola mint high in the air, and catches it with his mouth. Chews it with style) Nutritionist, count your days! (makes tick-tock clock sounds).

                                           (INTERMISSION)

[Scene 30]

ANNOUNCER - Next we have Women's discus!

R. COACH - Alright Lily, are you ready?

LILY - Yes coach I-I'm ready.

R. COACH - I hope you had plenty of rest last night, as well as a good meal.

LILY - Yes sir, thank you.

R. COACH - Save that for the end. Now get into your game mode!

LILY - (Practices her throwing strokes).

R. COACH - Remember, your only weak point is throwing the discus at bigger heights. Otherwise the distance is pretty good. The advantage of the height is that the discus will cover more distance while coming down, so giving a bonus of at least 5 - 7m in your throw.

LILY - Right (warming up).

R. COACH - Just take my tip, do what you do best and make sure you aim to throw it towards the crowd at the very end. It'll get you the height and distance.

LILY - Sure thing.

R. COACH - Right then, let's do this!

LILY - Yes! (walks to the field).

R. COACH - (Goes back to his seat) Excuse me? One Gatorade.

DRINKS MAN - Sure thing.

R. COACH - Now then, we were we?

[Scene 31]

H. ASSISTANT - Welcome to Starlux Hotel, your name?

ANNA - Anna, Anna Broadman.

H. ASSISTANT - Anna Broadman (checking the server), okay then, 2 rooms right?

ANNA - Yes.

H. ASSISTANT - Right then, take a seat while I prepare arrangements for the rooms' clean up and keys.

ANNA - Okay.

(They take a seat)

BRETT - Right then, so the four of us are in one room, Anna has her own separate room.

ANNA - A separate room for me? why?

DEAN - (Gulps).

JENSEN - Y-You see y-your a female a-and w-we're-

ANNA - What? that's it? come on, that's ridiculous.

JAMES - (Stunned).

BRETT - James!

JAMES - Sorry.

BRETT - Listen Anna, you have a room for yourself. It's not good for some of us to share a room with you.

ANNA - Brett, are we on a business trip or honeymoon?

BRETT - Business trip.

ANNA - Right. Not honeymoon okay? we're leaving tomorrow night. Just one night okay.

JAMES - Darn it.

ANNA - (Stares at James in a pissed manner).

JAMES - I-I don't want to be in a room with you.

ANNA - I don't care who alright. I just don't want to be alone. Even though there are hotel phones to call each other we need someone else to take care, if one us are in danger. I can simply burn alone if my room catches on fire.

DEAN - Point taken.

ANNA - Dean's got it, make them get it.

DEAN - Point is-

JENSEN - Ehem...we're not dumb, we understood.

ANNA - Right, now decide who's in which room.

(They get talking)

H. ASSISTANT - Here are your room keys, Room 345 and 346. The rooms are on the third floor.

ANNA - Thank you.

H. ASSISTANT - He'll help carry your luggage up.

ANNA - No it's okay, we'll do it. Thank you.

H. ASSISTANT - Right, thank you ma'am! have a pleasant stay!

[Scene 32]

(Third floor hallway)

ANNA - Well? have you decided?

JAMES - Um...I'll be with Jensen!

ANNA - I thought so, the "J"s never split do they?

JENSEN - How dare you try to split the "J''s!

ANNA - Are you done Shakespeare?

JENSEN - (Whispers) Wasn't that a convincing power dialogue?

JAMES - (Whispers) Sounded like Captain Hook from Peter Pan.

JENSEN - (Pissed).

ANNA - Brett?

BRETT - U-Um....I-I don't mind.

DEAN - How about you decide! it's really hard if you ask a guy to make these kind of decisions.

ANNA - Oh poor creatures. I never knew men were so sensitive about these things, normally you would be really eager.

JAMES - (Smiles).

JENSEN - (Whispers) Kill the smile.

JAMES - (Puts up a frown).

ANNA - Fine. I'll be with Brett and Dean. You two are in Room 345.

JAMES - God damn it.

JENSEN - (Whispers) I said shut up.

JAMES - Okay! Okay.

ANNA - Come on guys (opens Room 346 and goes in).

(Brett and Dean go inside)

ANNA - Right then, for starters keep your stuff on this rack.

DEAN - Right.

ANNA - Brett are you okay?

BRETT - Y-Yes.

ANNA - You still can't believe you're with a girl right?

BRETT - (Nods his head).

ANNA - Don't get cocky alright, I'm going to call the hotel staff to solve this problem.

DEAN - How? Divide the house?

ANNA - What is it with you people and diving houses?

DEAN - J-Just a figure of speech.

ANNA - Peculiar child.

(Next room)

JAMES - (Plops his bag on the rack and rushes for the wall).

JENSEN - The heck are you doing? why are you hogging the wall?

JAMES - Shush!

JENSEN - Can you please tell me what you're-

JAMES - Shut up!

JENSEN - (Whispers) What are you doing?

JAMES - I'm listening to what's going on next door.

JENSEN - (Throws the bed cushion at James) Idiot!

JAMES - What was that for?

JENSEN - Why do you care about what's happening next door?

JAMES - You know um....2 to 1.

JENSEN - (Get mad).

JAMES - Okay Okay! I-I'll shut up.

JENSEN - I'm going to freshen up (goes for the bathroom).

JAMES - (Tries to go for the wall again).

JENSEN - Don't even think about it!

JAMES - (Wines) Aw!

JENSEN - Sick freak.

[Scene 33]

ANNA - Guys I'm going to go freshen up.

DEAN - Sure.

(Anna goes to the bathroom)

BRETT - Pass me my shoulder bag.

DEAN - Here.

BRETT - Thanks (opens his bag).

DEAN - What're you looking for?

BRETT - I brought an A3 Paper and marker, so we can plan our attack on the culprit.

DEAN - Cool. You want to start planning now?

BRETT - Call the guys from the other room over.

DEAN - Sure (goes for the door).

BRETT - Dean just use the hotel phone.

DEAN - Ah right (goes for the phone and dials 345).

(Phone rings)

JAMES - (On the phone) Hello?

DEAN - Come next door.

JAMES - Okay.

DEAN - Hold your horses! Jensen needs to come as well.

JAMES - Fine.

(Drops the call).

JENSEN - Who was it?

JAMES - Dean, he wants us to go next door.

JENSEN - Next door?

JAMES - You know, maybe for some.....(funny expressions).

JENSEN - Do that one more time, and I'll pour hot tea on your face while you're sleeping.

JAMES - Ha! hot tea, hot tea! where are you going to get tea?

JENSEN - (Picks up 5 tea packets).

JAMES - Huh?? h-how come-

JENSEN - Complimentary. Every hotel provides complimentary items.

JAMES - You know what I'll do? (opens the mini fridge and takes out a coca cola can) I-I-I'll-

JENSEN - Do what? treat me to a drink?

JAMES - No I-I'll-

JENSEN - Shove it up your!-

JAMES - Shush!

JENSEN - God damn you.

(Phone rings)

JENSEN - (On the phone) Hello?

DEAN - How long is it taking? are you taking turns in the bathroom or what?

JENSEN - N-No! w-we're on our way, bye! (drops the call) come on James!

[Scene 34]

(At Room 346)

JENSEN - Right now, what is it?

BRETT - Planning. We're going to plan our attack on the culprit.

JENSEN - Oh okay.

JAMES - I thought it was something else.

JENSEN - Can you just shut up.

JAMES - Fine, fine.

DEAN - (Face palms).

ANNA - Come on, let's plan.

JAMES - Right then, where do we start?

BRETT - For starters, let's go over our first big clue. (Takes out the coach's phone) I've got his number.

JAMES - Let me guess, you want us to trace that phone call to find out where he is?

BRETT - Spot on. As James said, we're going to trace this call to find out his location. He's a nutritionist, for sure he'll be at work now.

JENSEN - It's 1pm.

ANNA - Definitely at work.

BRETT - Right so this is our first plan. I want Jensen and James to go to a police station nearby and ask permission to trace the location of this caller.

JAMES - Got it.

BRETT - Here, take the phone. Go now, or it'll be too late.

JENSEN - Sure thing, come! let's go!

(James and Jensen leaves the room)

BRETT - That leaves the three of us. Our part is going to be a cake walk, all we have to do is wait for a reply from James and Jensen, about the nutritionist's location. Once we've got information about his location, we're going to drive to his location. He's definitely going to be in a laboratory, independent or associated with the Athletics Club for sure. We'll be looking for out for secret exits.

DEAN - Why secret exits?

BRETT - We're going to do the drill! we need to be extra cautious around this place because public will get the wrong idea of our doings. I'm thinking of renting a car for this kidnap. Once we've got him under our wing, we drive to the police station and finish it off.

ANNA - Awesome. When do you want to execute this plan?

BRETT - Oh I forgot to tell you all one thing. Remember when the nutritionist called me at the airport, just before departure?

ALL - Yes.

BRETT - This is what he said. He's been working 2 weeks on binding Ecstasy and Steroid. He's working on an entirely new form of dope, extreme dope for Team Dalek.

ANNA - (Gasps) Oh god.

BRETT - He's almost done with his project. He asked me when to parcel it over. I told him tomorrow 3pm.

DEAN - Ah! I see where this is going.

BRETT - You see what I mean don't you? he's fallen into our hands like candy. We're executing this plan tomorrow morning. We'll finish our job before 3, take rest and fly back.

ANNA - Great.

[Scene 35]

ANNOUNCER - Final throw for Lily! Lily now at third place with a total throw distance of 48.56m.

R. COACH - You can do it Lily! just remember my advice alright? get a distance of 56m and you're in for the jackpot.

LILY - Thanks Coach.

R. COACH - Now go for it tigress!

LILY - (Goes for the podium and does her throwing strokes for momentum. She then throws it).

ANNOUNCER - What beauty! i-it's a massive throw! wonder where it went!

D. MARKER - (Runs onto the field to note the distance) 56.25m!

LILY - Yes!!

R. COACH - Nice one!!

ANNOUNCER - Oh it's marvelous!! she's done it again! Lily Schwartz now secures safely at first position!!

LILY - (Runs to the coach) I did it coach!! I did it!! (hugs him).

R. COACH - I'm proud of you dear! you did well. You didn't shake, didn't feel nervous. You just did it. Keep it up Lily.

LILY - (Tears of joy) T-Thanks coach!

REPORTER - Attention everyone! we now come to the end of the qualifying rounds. For athletes involved in the running events: Top 5 out of the 8 will qualify for the championships, for athletes involved in throwing and jumping events: Top 8 out of the 20 will qualify!

LILY - Yes!

R. COACH - Lily, go help yourself to a Gatorade. You're done for the day! all that's left is the team talk, celebrations and dinner.

LILY - Okay coach.

R. COACH - (Looks around the stadium) What was once to have been a dream, now has become my reality. Dreams do come true (walks away).

[Scene 36]

(At the Police Station)

V. POLICE OFFICER - Yes gentlemen, can I help you?

JAMES - James (shakes hand).

JENSEN - Jensen (shakes hand).

V. POLICE OFFICER - Nice to meet you.

JAMES - We're from the CIO: Crisis Intelligence Organisation.

V. POLICE OFFICER - Ah okay, please take a seat.

(They sit down)

V. POLICE OFFICER - Yes, I can sort of see the lines of this talk. You need assistance from us?

JENSEN - Actually we're in the middle of doing our own investigation. We've managed to get the victim's number, we just need to use your equipment to trace the location of this number.

V. POLICE OFFICER - Certainly. Constable!

V. CONSTABLE - Sir!

V. POLICE OFFICER - They need to trace the location of a number. Could you be of their assistance?

V. CONSTABLE - Yes sir, follow me.

(They go into the tracking room)

V. CONSTABLE - Right then, what's the number? (sets up the tracking computer).

JENSEN - (Checks the coach's phone, on Call log) Um....+01-

V. CONSTABLE - No, leave out our country's calling code. Just tell the number.

JENSEN - Oh okay, 7168 2205.

V. CONSTABLE - (While typing) 7168....22..05, am I right?

JENSEN - Yes.

V. CONSTABLE - (Clicks search).

(The tracking computer searches for the location)

V. CONSTABLE - Ah we've got it. It leads directly to Sport Science Laboratory.

JAMES - (Whispers) Got it!

JENSEN - Where is this laboratory?

V. CONSTABLE - It's in association with the Dalek Capital Athletics Club. So you'll find the laboratory right next to the place.

JAMES - Great, thanks a lot!

V. CONSTABLE - You're welcome.

(James and Jensen walk away and stop)

JAMES - Oh sorry I forgot to ask you something. For our investigation we'll be bringing the victim in for interrogation, may we borrow your interrogation room?

V. CONSTABLE - Come with me, I'll ask my boss.

(They go to the boss)

V. CONSTABLE - Sir! they said as part of their investigation, they'll be bringing in their victim in for interrogation.

V. POLICE OFFICER - Carry on..

V. CONSTABLE - They wish to use our interrogation room.

V. POLICE OFFICER - Oh...okay, not a problem. Just before you leave, I'm quite interested in what you're doing. Can you let me in on what we're doing?

JAMES - Um....

JENSEN - (Whispers) We can trust him, he's the police.

JAMES - Okay. Sit down sir w-we'll explain it to you.

V. POLICE OFFICER - Right then, hit me.

JENSEN - If you're not aware, the Olympics are going on right now.

V. POLICE OFFICER - Yes, yes.

JENSEN - We've managed to find drug dealing connections between the Head Coach of Team Dalek and the Nutritionist at the Sports Science Laboratory.

V. CONSTABLE - (Shocked).

V. POLICE OFFICER - My god!

JAMES - Don't panic. The players haven't been drugged yet, they're doing their best to bring glory to the nation. It's just that the coach has plans to drug his athletes for the championships.

V. POLICE OFFICER - Oh dear.

JAMES - The nutritionist had made a deal of parceling an entire new dope, which is basically ecstasy and steroid put together, and he's planned to parcel it over tomorrow 3pm.

V. POLICE OFFICER - My god, this is pretty serious.

JAMES - Earlier on we asked the head coach if he was involved in this dealing. He tried to escape. We managed to bring him in and interrogate him. We have a drill when it comes to our interrogation: We talk it through with the victim to get information, we give them various solutions for them to escape from this problem, if they don't listen (uses his hand as a gun) boom.

V. POLICE OFFICER - Woah, seriously?

JAMES - You know it.

V. POLICE OFFICER - S-So what happened to the head coach?

JAMES - Well...he didn't listen.

V. POLICE OFFICER - So..

JENSEN - Yes. We haven't done anything wrong right?

V. POLICE OFFICER - Nonsense. You're an intelligence organisation, I mean you give your victims ways to escape from the problem. They don't listen, their loss.

JENSEN - You're at it sir.

V. POLICE OFFICER - What if you get caught for killing him all of a sudden? I mean you have no evidence to back up the scene.

JAMES - Actually....we do. We video record each and every interrogation.

JENSEN - So that once the news is out, exposed! world knows it, evidence is there.

V. POLICE OFFICER - Smart, really smart people. But really, if you record it as evidence to expose, why didn't you expose it then?

JAMES - It's not the right time sir. The Olympics are going on right now. If the news goes out, there's a chance of Team Dalek being put under heavy pressure because people suspect whether they've taken drugs in advance. Truth is that the athletes are innocent, they aren't aware of this at all.

V. POLICE OFFICER - Good, really good! I wish you and your team best of luck into finishing your mission. Your permission to use the interrogation room is granted.

JAMES - Thank you sir.

V. POLICE OFFICER - Plop yourselves in there, anytime tomorrow, and one more thing: don't hesitate to contact us for back-up. We'll help out.

JENSEN - Sure sir. We'll let you know. Most likely we won't be needing any help because the final victim is right in our hands. All we have to do is assault him. We can handle that.

V. POLICE OFFICER - Well then, it was good meeting you.

JAMES - Thank you sir.

[Scene 37]

BRETT - (On the phone) Hello?

JAMES - We've got it. The nutritionist works at the Sport Science Laboratory, it's in association with the Athletics Club. Right next door to the place.

BRETT - Yes! I knew it. Good job (drops the call) we've got the location. He works at the Sport Science Laboratory, which is right next to the Athletics club.

ANNA - It's in association?

BRETT - Yes. Dean take out your laptop.

DEAN - (Takes out his laptop).

BRETT - Go on Google maps and type in "Dalek Capital Athletics Club".

DEAN - Okay (enters it in) here, got it!

BRETT - Right then, turn it to face us.

(Everyone sees the club)

ANNA - It's huge! t-they've got four tracks, three practice tracks and one centre track.

DEAN - Man! it's massive!

BRETT - Thank god we can identify the location easily. Now look here, the laboratory is to the right of the centre track.

ANNA - The Hexagonal shape right?

BRETT - Yes. Take a photo of this place using your phone.

ANNA - (Takes the photo) Got it.

BRETT - Okay. Now all that's left is to go find the secret exits. We'll take a taxi to the place, once we reach the laboratory I want Dean to go search at the back, Anna at the left and me at the right.

DEAN - Okay.

BRETT - Take note of where exactly the secret exits are. We don't want any outsiders looking.

DEAN - Shall we head out now?

BRETT - Yes let's go.

[Scene 38]

(At the hotel lobby)

ANNA - Can you a book a taxi?

H. ASSISTANT - Yes ma'am, one moment please.

ANNA - Right, then she's booking.

BRETT - (On the phone) Hello?

JENSEN - Hey Brett, what's our next job?

BRETT - We're on our way to search for the secret exits.

JENSEN - Brett, I forgot to inform you that we told the Police officer about our investigation. Don't worry, we left out the part where the athletes got drugged. I just told him that there's a drug dealing connection between the nutritionist and the head coach.

BRETT - That's okay. Just as long as you didn't mention the athletes being drugged.

JENSEN - They fully support our investigation. They've told us not to hesitate to call for back-up.

BRETT - Back up....(remembers what he said previously: "No outsiders should see us") I've got it! we need back for tomorrow morning. Not for the arrest but to cover us up when doing the kidnap.

JENSEN - Right, I'll inform the officer. Anything else?

BRETT - Nothing else. Just inform the officer for back-up tomorrow and you're doen for the day.

JENSEN - Right then, bye!

BRETT - Bye.

DEAN - Who was it?

BRETT - Jensen. The police are serving us tomorrow for back-up, during the kidnap.

DEAN - Oh great. Makes it easier for us.

H. ASSISTANT - Ma'am, your taxi has arrived.

ANNA - Thank you.

(They get in the car)

ANNA - What're we going to do about renting cars?

BRETT - No need, the police are helping us. We'll travel in the police car.

ANNA - Police?

DEAN - Serving as back-up for us, when doing the kidnap.

ANNA - Oh okay.

BRETT - Dalek Capital Athletics Club, please.

DRIVER - Yes sir.

(Drives off)

[Scene 39]

R. COACH - Right team! that was an excellent performance put up by you all. Firstly give yourselves a round of applause, you all truly deserve it!

(Applause)

LILY - (Proud).

R. COACH - What I respect and like about you all is the fact that you aim higher than the given expectations. To qualify you had to get into the top 5 and top 8, almost all of you qualified in the top 3!

(Applause)

R. COACH - Except for the shot put team who came 4th and 5th, but that's okay. Don't feel upset that you didn't equalise with your team's performance. Be glad you met those expectations, we'll work together over the next few days to build up on our skills. Now then, celebrations!

TEAM DALEK - Woohoo!

R. COACH - I ordered healthy meals for everyone as usual, other than that also some fizzy drink and cake. Enjoy your treat everyone! you did good.

(Everyone cheers and celebrates)

[Scene 40]

DRIVER - We're here sir.

DEAN - Look Anna.

BRETT - How much?

DRIVER - $10.

BRETT - (Pays up)

(They exit the taxi)

ANNA - Now then, here we are.

DEAN - Athletics Club.

BRETT - Take out your phone Anna.

ANNA - (Takes it out).

BRETT - Open the Google maps image.

ANNA - (Opens it and gives it to him).

BRETT - Hmm....if I'm not wrong, the laboratory should be to the very right.

DEAN - Yes, see the signboard says "Sports Science Laboratory".

BRETT - Bingo! let's move.

(They move towards the laboratory)

ANNA - Not really what I was expecting.

DEAN - I know right? I expected this place to be higher.

BRETT - It's a lab. Just one big floor full of scientists.

DEAN - I see.

BRETT - Weird infrastructure, it's hexagonal.

ANNA - It'll take ages to get around the place.

BRETT - Well, we can't afford to lose anymore time. Just follow by our plans. Hexagon has 6 sides, each person take care of 2 sides.

ALL - Got it.

(They move to search for the secret exits)

ANNA - (Walking down the 2 sides of the laboratory) (Searching here and there).

[Scene 41]

(At Room 345)

JENSEN - Phew! so tired (lands on the bed).

JAMES - Travel, planning, police station....lots of work.

JENSEN - Well? what now?

JAMES - You want to go snoop around their room?

JENSEN - What for?

JAMES - You know (making weird expressions).

JENSEN - (Pissed) (Goes searching for something in the complimentary basket).

JAMES - W-What're you doing??

JENSEN - (Turns around, and flicks a packet of tea in front of him).

JAMES - Oh no! no no no! please!

JENSEN - (Rips open the tea packet).

JAMES - Jensen, listen to me. I was just joking around, n-no hard feelings.

JENSEN - (Prepares hot water).

JAMES - Dude! stop, please I-I'm begging you!

JENSEN - (Pours hot water in his cup, along with the tea bag).

JAMES - D-Don't do it!

JENSEN - (Comes for him with the tea in his hand).

JAMES - Please, I easily get frights!

JENSEN - (Lifts his cup).

JAMES - I'LL!-

JENSEN - (Drinks the tea).

JAMES - (Shocked) B-B-Buh- what??

JENSEN - (Still drinking his tea).

JAMES - You idiot! you fool! you twit! you! you! retarded piece of s**t!! is this how you scare your team mate?? keeping an angry expression on your face, preparing tea in slow motion to create fear?! as if you're Spielberg?! in the end just when I'm about to be drenched...you drink it!! w-what's wrong with you?!

JENSEN - (Burps) Ah....very soothing taste (walks off to the complimentary basket).

JAMES - Oi! I'm screaming my head off like a dinosaur and you're walking away from me?!

JENSEN - (Drinks water).

JAMES - Oh great! now you're drinking water. Who drinks water after a cup of tea?!

JENSEN - We'll talk this through later, I'll be in the bathroom.

JAMES - Oi! deaf child! don't go! I haven't finished scolding you! d-don't! I-I'll lose my tempo!

JENSEN - (Stops and turn to look at James) T-Tempo?

JAMES - (Nods) Yes!

JENSEN - Dude please, don't play jokes. What, did you develop a script for this event?

JAMES - I had it all planned out in my mind at that point and...you're just killing the moment for me!

JENSEN - And what do you want from me?

JAMES - Well sit down here so I can talk this through to you because you're giving me nothing!

JENSEN - (Pissed) (Goes to sit down next to James on the bed) Lights, Camera, Action! (claps his hand).

JAMES - What are you doing?

JENSEN - You said you had a script planned out in your head about this event. You also said I was giving you nothing. Just creating the feel.

JAMES - Joke?

JENSEN - (Giggles).

JAMES - Let me get to the point: One does not simply create a killer build-up and kill the entire thing in the end!

JENSEN - Point?

JAMES - I sort of trashed talk some s**t into you and you went straight for the tea packets! y-you opened it in slow motion, prepared the tea and! and! y-you came for me!

JENSEN - Great, go on, go on.

JAMES - Then! then! you freaking drank the entire thing! you know you almost scared the piss out of me! I mean just look! my shirt got wet in that tension!

JENSEN - (Sniffs) Gosh! pee-yew! how does one sweat so much in tension? you were that scared?

JAMES - Before you were going to pour tea, you scared the pee out of me!

JENSEN - I said I'll do it in the night you lemon! not now.

JAMES - Night?

JENSEN - I clearly said "I'll do it in the night". Next time listen carefully, alright? see, just one misunderstanding and you almost pissed yourself.

JAMES - (Pissed) You suck.

JENSEN - What? me?

JAMES - You suck!

JENSEN - I made myself very-

JAMES - You suck! you suck! you suck!!! (rushes and closes himself in the bathroom).

JENSEN - Heh, (takes out a memo pad and pencil. Writes down the following while talking) "April fools ultimate prank.....prepare hot tea in front of James...dot".

[Scene 42]

(Brett, Anna and Dean still searching)

DEAN - (Finds the emergency exit) (Calls the others).

ANNA - (On the phone) Yes?

DEAN - I found it.

BRETT - (On the phone) Where is it?

DEAN - On the other side of the laboratory. 180º from the entrance.

ANNA - Right.

(Brett and Anna rush to the end)

ANNA - Bulls eye, what do you think?

BRETT - (Looks around the place and doesn't see much) Well....it's an empty road alley way here. We'll make it for an easy kidnap. Take note of the location.

DEAN - Yes (takes note) got it.

BRETT - Good. Now follow me back to the main road. We're doing this to visualise the location, to execute our plan tomorrow morning.

[Scene 43]

JENSEN - (On the phone) Hello?

ANNA - It's me Anna, we found the secret exit. Do as I say (Gives him the instructions).

JENSEN - Got it thanks. (Goes on Google maps, zooms in on the laboratory and screen shots the location) James, call the reception and ask them to print this out for us.

JAMES - Right.

JENSEN - A3 Size.

JAMES - (On the phone) Hello Reception? yes, I'm calling from Room 345. We want you to take a print out really urgently. Could you do that?.....thank you....yes..we need it A3 size.....thanks.....okay I'll bring my laptop down to send the file...yes, thank you (drops the call). Be right back! (rushes out with the laptop).

[Scene 44]

(Rushes to the lobby)

H. ASSISTANT - Hi sir, how can I help you?

JAMES - Came to get the print out.

H. ASSISTANT - Ah yes. Do you have the file with you?

JAMES - Yes (shows the laptop).

H. ASSISTANT - Right, here's a USB. Copy the file onto the USB, and I'll print it out. A3 size right?

JAMES - Yes, thank you.

(Copies it onto the USB, gives it to her, she prints it out for him)

H. ASSISTANT - Here sir.

JAMES - Thank you very much.

(Brett, Anna and Dean enter the hotel)

ANNA - Hey, you did it?

JAMES - Oh you're here.

ANNA - Nice job. Here Brett.

BRETT - Good, let's go upstairs.

[Scene 45]

(In Room 346)

DEAN - Right, is everyone here?

ALL - Yes.

BRETT - Now then....here we have the map of the laboratory. This is the main road....

JENSEN - It's hexagonal.

DEAN - I know right? weird.

BRETT - Getting to the point (uses a marker) this is where the secret exit is (marks the exit with an "X"). This space behind the laboratory is just an empty, spacious alleyway, so we have no trouble into getting the car to the back.

ANNA - What will the police squad do?

BRETT - We're using their police car remember? what's the width of the gaps between the walls and the laboratory?

DEAN - Um......the scales say that the width 190cm.

BRETT - Great. We won't require much policemen. We just need four of them, (marks them) 1 on each of these vertices, leaving the side vertices out, because five of us will be inside doing our job. If he and possibly a third man tries to escape, we have someone guarding the boundaries.

JENSEN - Great.

BRETT - To make it brief. Two police cars will be involved: two policemen and three of us in one car, two policemen and the other two of us in the second car. The first car with three of us will drive to the back of the laboratory, (marking) once you exit the car tell the two policemen to secure themselves at the back vertices.

ANNA - Okay.

BRETT - The second car will pull by just in front of the laboratory. The two of us will go to the back, joining the other three. Meanwhile the two policemen will secure themselves at the front vertices, giving the public an idea of them patrolling, no suspects, no problems.

JAMES - Then?

BRETT - We go inside and do our business. If he's a big coward than the arrest is easy, if it gets hasty.....then, we spring into action. Got the plan?

ALL - Got it!

BRETT - Good. Now we can take rest. Tomorrow morning when we wake up I want James and Jensen to go the police station and get the four policemen. We'll be in action immediately from then on.

JAMES - Who'll be in which car?

ANNA - You're definitely not with me, I can tell you that.

JAMES - What? no! I'm a man of a gem!

JENSEN - (Pissed) Anyone want hot...tea?

JAMES - Huh? (whispers) Jensen, please don't do it. Don't e-expose me bro.

ALL - Yes please!

[Scene 46]

(In Room 346)

JENSEN - (Preparing hot tea).

(Everyone else, watching TV and talking. Except for James who is hiding himself with a pillow).

BRETT - The heck are you doing?

JAMES - Jensen! h-he's preparing tea! hot tea!

BRETT - Yes, he's preparing tea. So what? it is soothing.

JAMES - Not for me it isn't.

BRETT - Oh come on, it can't be that bad.

JAMES - You don't understand Brett. It's not about the taste, it's about the temperature!

BRETT - Temperature? what?

JAMES - You know, the temperature. I-It can be really hot, and it can also sometimes be....very cold.

BRETT - Well yes, it's tea, if it isn't then it's coffee.

JENSEN - Tea's ready!

ANNA - Coming!

DEAN - Ooh! tea!

BRETT - Get one for me Dean!

JENSEN (Giving it) One for you, one for you and...one for you and...hold on a second (sharp turn, looking at James).

JAMES - Gah!

DEAN - (Spills his tea in his scream).

JAMES - (Shivering).

DEAN - Ehem....

JAMES - Not now.

DEAN - Ehem!

JAMES - What? Oh!

DEAN - It....burns!

JAMES - Y-You see what I mean? t-this tea isn't safe!

ANNA - James! it's god damn tea!

DEAN - Don't scream like that alright? I was in the middle of drinking my tea, and this happens.

JAMES - S-Sorry...

JENSEN - (Walks towards James with a cup of tea) James, h-have some tea.

JAMES - N-N-No.

JENSEN - Have some tea, James.

JAMES - No!

ALL - (Looking at them).

JENSEN - I made this specially for you.

JAMES - N-No you didn't! y-you made it for everyone too.

ANNA - Just take it James! it's tea!!

JAMES - No!! (runs to the bathroom and locks himself inside).

DEAN - What was that about?

JENSEN - Sit down guys, I-I'll tell you.

[Scene 47]

(In the bathroom)

JAMES - (Looks at himself in the mirror) Gosh! I-I didn't even get drenched, but I'm drenched in sweat. Unbelievable! what's wrong with me? a-am I tea-phobic now?? deep breath James, deep breath (takes several deep breaths) Now then, I feel better. (Opens the bathroom door).

(Brett, Dean, Jensen and Anna holding their cups of tea, right in front of the bathroom door)

ALL - (In a creepy way) Have some tea, child!

JAMES - Gah!!!!! (Locks himself inside).

ALL - (Places their tea cups on the table) (burst out laughing) Hahahahaha!!!! oh! oh! oh!!

ANNA - (Laughing) Tea!! h-he's scared of tea!!

BRETT - (Laughing) What comes after the letter S?

ALL - Tea!! (T!!!) hahahaha!!

JAMES - (Walks out of the bathroom all furious) You idiots! you fools! you twits!! w-what the hell!

DEAN - Woah! calm down bro!

JAMES - You...b-b-bunch of freaking creeps!!

BRETT - Hahaha!!

JAMES - I just calmed down after a tea-phobia attack.

ANNA - Tea phobia hahaha!!

ALL - Hahaha!!!

JAMES - Oh, s-so you think this is funny? isn't it you people!! t-tea can get...r-really scary you know?

DEAN - (Uncontrollable) How?

JAMES - You know, the temperature?

JENSEN - I believe you bro.

JAMES - You do? finally, thank you.

JENSEN - No. Hahahaha!

ALL - Hahahaha!!

JAMES - Man, t-this....is....bullshit!!

[Scene 48]

(In the laboratory)

NUTRITIONIST - Bingo! I-I'm done.

ASSISTANT - You are?

NUTRITIONIST - Yes, look.

ASSISTANT - Sir i-it's bubbling and r-red in colour.

NUTRITIONIST - It's meant to be red. It symbolises fury and excitement. Don't worry about the bubbles, I just finished binding all of them. The bubbling will stop within the next 2 hours or so. Did you get the stamp ready?

ASSISTANT - Not yet, s-should I go now?

NUTRITIONIST - Wait, just hold on (dials on his phone).

(Meanwhile at Room 346)

ALL - Hahaha!

JAMES - Good times.....

(Phone rings, everyone looks at the phone).

BRETT - (Picks up the phone) Shush....(whispers) it's the nutritionist.

ALL - Right.

BRETT - (Answers the call) Hello?

NUTRITIONIST - Sir it's me. I've completed the binding process. It's ready for parceling. You want me to parcel it over earlier or....

BRETT - Hmm.....no, 3pm like I said earlier. If I get the package earlier, I'll find it hard to sneak it into a safe place. Whereas at the time I told you, I could rush the drugs into play, no one would suspect.

NUTRITIONIST - Right sir. Good business.

BRETT - Indeed (drops the call). He's caught, he's definitely caught.

ANNA - What was it about?

BRETT - He finished the binding process ahead of time, and asked if he could send it earlier. I said no and.....you heard the reasoning.

JENSEN - Right, a-are we done with serious business?

BRETT - Oh that? yes, yes we're done. God damn this guy, just had to interfere our free time.

JAMES - I know right? what a jerk!

JENSEN - (Looks at James).

JAMES - What? d-did I say anything wrong?

JENSEN - I-I just don't know how to respond to that.

JAMES - Then don't. You don't need to respond to everything people say.

JENSEN - No, I'm trying to make it a point.

JAMES - For what?

JENSEN - See how long I can go with making responses to you.

JAMES - Why?

JENSEN - S-So the moment eventually comes, w-when the time is right.

ALL - Hahahaha!!

JAMES - Oh come on! give me a break alright? you people, always thinking about hot tea and put weight on others.

DEAN - Oh calm down bro. Just for funsies you know?

JAMES - Elaborate please.

ANNA - (Coughs) T-T-Time pass.

JAMES - (Pissed) Oh dear.

ALL - Hahaha!

BRETT - No escape I guess right?

JAMES - No escape really. Business trip, I'm stuck with this troll who apparently can't wait to pour hot tea on me!

JENSEN - (Giggles).

JAMES - Unless.....you know.....you have a return ticket for tonight....if you do, please hit me now!

ALL - (Silence).

JAMES - What? no return ticket for tonight? don't be scared to give me one. You are encouraged to give me one, if you have one.

ANNA - Ehem.....first make sure that you're not scared.

BRETT - Ehem....I clearly specified, return flight is tomorrow night.

JAMES - I know!! I-I'm just trying to be sarcastic here alright?

JENSEN - And!-

JAMES - Shut up! you duck!

ALL - (Giggles).

JENSEN - D-D-Duck?? (whispers) I thought we killed this topic at high school.

JAMES - (Whispers) You killed the topic. I on the other hand reserved it in my jokes account.

ANNA - Duck? w-what's with the duck?

JENSEN - Nothing really-

JAMES - No let me tell you.

JENSEN - James!

JAMES - Yes!

JENSEN - Don't even-

JAMES - His nick name in high school! Duck!

DEAN - (Giggles).

BRETT - (Giggles).

ALL - Hahahaha!!

ANNA - Oh my god! c-can't take it!

JAMES - Oh oh! l-look at his face! oh look at his face!

JENSEN - (Pissed).

JAMES - Quack quack!

JENSEN - I won't laugh.

BRETT - Come on Jensen! quack a joke!

DEAN - Hahaha! good one!

ANNA - No seriously....why duck?

JAMES - You see. Back in high school, he always had itchy legs, every now and then he would walk like a duck because of that!

ANNA - Bwahahaha!

JENSEN - Are we done!

BRETT - (Giggles) Yes, w-were done.

JENSEN - Thank you very much. Now what?

DEAN - Dinner downstairs.

[Scene 49]

(At the dinner restaurant downstairs, at Starlux Hotel)

DEAN - (Talking to the waiter) Thank you very much.

ANNA - Nice Lasagna.

DEAN - Thank you.

(While eating)

JENSEN - What time are we waking up tomorrow?

BRETT - 6:30am.

ANNA - That early?

BRETT - Well yes, that early. Unless you want to wake up at 7, and be at a rush.

DEAN - I'm going with the 6:30am idea, provided I'm in bed by 9:30pm.

JAMES - 9:30pm? why? are you a kid?

DEAN - I need that much sleep.

ANNA - Sleep deprivation?

DEAN - Um.....something like that.

ANNA - Sleep deprived child!

JENSEN - Indeed.

JAMES - (Giggling).

ALL - (Reacts to James, laughing).

BRETT - Ehem.

DEAN - Ehem!

JAMES - Yes?

DEAN - What are you giggling on about?

JAMES - (Giggling) Ducks.

ANNA - (Giggles).

JENSEN - Dean, give me your lasagna.

DEAN - Dude please don't! I'm hungry.

JENSEN - It's okay, we're dealing within our budget. G-Give it to me.

JAMES - W-What're you doing?

JENSEN - What do you think I'm doing?

JAMES - About to splat my face with hot lasagna.

JENSEN - Ridiculous! I'm just hungry alright?! gosh!

JAMES - Fine, fine. Chill.

JENSEN - (Takes 4 spoons of his lasagna. Then takes a spoon of the sauce and flings it towards James).

JAMES - What!

DEAN - (Giggling).

BRETT - Hahaha!

ANNA - Hahaha!

JAMES - (Sharp turn at Jensen) Explain.

JENSEN - Don't talk about me.

JAMES - I didn't talk about you. Did I talk about him? huh?

ANNA - He has a point, he didn't.

BRETT - Not at all.

JAMES - I was talking about ducks, not Jensen right?

ALL - Agree.

JAMES - See? just because I'm talking about ducks doesn't mean I'm talking about you. Unless......you think you're a duck.

ANNA - (Giggles).

JENSEN - Then why did you giggle while saying ducks?

JAMES - D-Ducks are funny....you know?

JENSEN - How?

JAMES - You know um....they quack me up every time.

JENSEN - I see. You might want to wipe the sauce off.

JAMES - Stop! (tastes the sauce on his face) needs some more salt.

(Adds salt to his lasagna)

JAMES - There you go! (eats his meal).

[Scene 50]

(Everyone's asleep at their rooms. Meanwhile at Room 345)

JENSEN - (Wakes up, quietly).

JAMES - (Fast asleep).

JENSEN - (Gets up slowly, walks towards the complimentary basket, prepares hot tea, approaches James and pours it on his face).

JAMES - (Gets up) Ah!!! hot tea!! hot tea!! it burns!! oh the pain!! what is wrong with you?

JENSEN - Got you back.

JAMES - W-What?? what's wrong with you? you son of a creep! you keep scaring me with hot tea, I got you back with the duck joke, it quacked them up!

JENSEN - Ehem!

JAMES - Fine, it um....cracked them up, and just when things get even at the end of the day. This!! at 1am in the morning!! A-Are you mentally retarded or anything?

JENSEN - Oh shut up!

JAMES - Why did you pour hot tea on my face? give me one valid explanation for why I shouldn't buy you Vampire duck Halloween costume.

JENSEN - I um.....you called me a duck.....a freaking duck alright?

JAMES - Ah I see.....sensitive huh?

JENSEN - Shut up!

JAMES - Just admit you're sensitive, so I can catch up on my sleep.

JENSEN - But!-

JAMES - 5...4....3....2-

JENSEN - Alright alright! I-I'm sensitive. Mainly about you bringing up the duck joke. Don't do it again alright?

JAMES - Fine, and you too. Don't scare me with hot tea. I know very well about you, every time you prank me, you note it down in your memo pad as an idea for April fools.

JENSEN - (Stunned) W-W-What plans? hot tea? on 1st April? not my type.

JAMES - Scratch that idea and we're through.

JENSEN - Okay.

JAMES - Hold on! get me a towel, my face is melting.

JENSEN - Right.

JAMES - (While wiping his face) Gosh, nowadays people use anything to get people back. I'm never going near England if I have to sit down for afternoon tea.

(Lights out)

[Scene 51]

(At 6:30am in the morning)

BRETT - (Wakes up) Oh...i-it's time. G-Get up guys.

DEAN - (Wakes up) I-I'm up....Ah!!!

BRETT - Ah!!! w-why are you screaming!!

DEAN - A-Anna...s-she's sleeping on your lap!

BRETT - What?! r-really? (looks down and sees her) Ah!!

ANNA - (Wakes up) Ah!!!!

ALL - Ah!!!

(Next door)

JENSEN - (Wakes up) D-Dude what's going on next door?

JAMES - D-Don't know. Oh wait! t-this can be my chance! (runs and puts his ear on the wall).

JENSEN - What are you-

JAMES - Shush.

(Next door)

ANNA - W-Why are you screaming?!

BRETT - You.....on my lap....sleeping!

DEAN - Oh dear me!

JAMES - Ah ha! I knew it!

JENSEN - Knew what?

JAMES - You know um.....

JENSEN - (Stunned, puts his ear on the wall).

ANNA - What? you guys are ridiculous. You screamed just because of that?

DEAN - What did you think? I woke up and I see this! a-a-a-

BRETT - (Nervous) Anna.....w-what happened??

ANNA - Huh?

DEAN - Me and Brett. Were sleeping on the big bed, you ordered an extra bed. Morning...you're here, on his lap!

ANNA - Woah really?

DEAN - Then?

ANNA - Wow.

DEAN - Don't tell me you-

ANNA - Oh no no no please! n-nothing alright!

JAMES - It's coming, it's coming!

ANNA - Ah! now I remember, I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night. After using the bathroom I couldn't find my extra bed anywhere. S-So I plopped myself on a rather fluffy part of your bed. Turns out it was Brett's lap.

BRETT - Phew!

DEAN - Thank goodness.

JAMES - Damn it! totally killed it.

ANNA - Well? what're we waiting for? get ready!

BRETT - (Shocked) Right (gets up awkwardly).

[Scene 52]

(At the hotel lobby, everyone has assembled)

BRETT - Call the police station and tell the four policemen to come, in two police cars.

JENSEN - Right.

(While Jensen is talking to the police)

JAMES - Brett.

BRETT - Yes.

JAMES - What happened last night?

BRETT - Last night?

JAMES - You know um...Anna and-

BRETT - Ssh! y-you found out too?

JAMES - Then? you people were screaming your heads off at 6:30 in the morning. We woke up thinking Godzilla entered the building.

DEAN - What's going on here?

BRETT - H-He found out.

DEAN - About what?

BRETT - You know (points at Anna).

DEAN - Oh god. James, listen buddy, don't go about spreading this to everyone. Control your mischief mind.

JAMES - Don't worry, it's a secret.

DEAN - Yes, keep it. Let's be reminded that it was an accident.

JAMES - Wait what? an accident! s-so it really-

BRETT - (Slaps him) Why? why dude? please, y-you're in the other room for a reason. Utter your mouth like that one more time, you'll be my next victim in the interrogation room.

JAMES - (Gulp) Please, I too am an Intelligence specialist.

BRETT - Then act like one.

JAMES - What? always? listen Brett. I know when to be in serious mode and when to have fun. No one can say I'm stupid because of me being jolly. Let loose of yourself like us, don't restrain. Remember (points at Jensen) the duck is on the line.

BRETT - (Giggles) I-I see.

JAMES - Okay fun time's over. Now, back to duty.

V. CONSTABLE 1 - Ma'am!

ANNA - Yes, are the two police cars here?

V. CONSTABLE 2 - Yes ma'am.

ANNA - Good. Let's move.

[Scene 53]

(In the car)

BRETT - (Conference call) James, Jensen, are you both connected?

JAMES/JENSEN - Yes.

BRETT - Right then. Your car is ahead of us, tell our plan to the 2 policemen.

JAMES - Right.

BRETT - I'll meet you at the back.

JENSEN - Okay.

V. CONSTABLE 3 - Sir, how is this going to work?

DEAN - Pull up just a few metres away from the laboratory. I want you both to station yourselves, covering the gaps of the lab alleyways. Fix yourselves in positions of a patrol officer. There's a less chance the culprit will try and escape. Whoever runs out of the front exit, just catch them. We'll give you the signal when we've done the arrest.

V. CONSTABLES - Yes sir.

[Scene 54]

(In the car)

JENSEN - Go inside the alleyway.

V. CONSTABLE 1 - Right.

(They pull up behind the lab)

JAMES - (On the phone) Brett, we're here.

BRETT - Right, we're almost there. Just pulling up.

JAMES - Okay.

(They exit the car)

DEAN - Everyone here?

ALL - Yes.

ANNA - Right then, positions!

(Constables station themselves, the three specialists go to the back of the alleyway to meet the others)

JENSEN - Hey.

BRETT - Right, we all know what to do here right?

ALL - Yes.

BRETT - Police in positions?

V. CONSTABLES - Yes.

BRETT - Right then, let's go.

[Scene 55]

NUTRITIONIST - Pass me the packaging box.

ASSISTANT - Here sir.

NUTRITIONIST - Thank you. Oh wait! what are you people doing here? wrong place.

BRETT - Ehem (shakes hands with the nutritionist) Brett, CIO Specialist.

NUTRITIONIST - CIO?

BRETT - Crisis intelligence organisation.

NUTRITIONIST - O-Oh! okay, w-what can I help you with?

BRETT - We've received information about Team Dalek involved in doping.

NUTRITIONIST - (Shocked and stop packing) W-W-W-What?

BRETT - You know, drugs in sports, to win, cheating!

NUTRITIONIST - C-Could you give me a minute, I-I'll be inside.

BRETT - Right then, go ahead.

(Nutritionist goes to the very end of the laboratory, Jensen and James follow him at a distance)

NUTRITIONIST - (Takes out his phone) Head Coach....head coach....got it (dials to reach the head coach).

(Phone rings from Brett's pocket)

NUTRITIONIST - Pick up...pick up.

BRETT - (Takes out the phone from his pocket and waves it in front of him).

NUTRITIONIST - (Shocked and turns back to see Brett. He comes for Brett and snatches the phone from him. He sees his phone trying to reach it) Y-Y-You are-

BRETT - (Disguises his voice like the coach) Is my parcel ready for post?

NUTRITIONIST - (Shocked) No, No! i-it can't be! how could you-

BRETT - We know A to Z about your drug plans. Team Dalek hasn't won any major competition events in athletics. You teamed up with the coach to dope the athletes. Now you're currently working on making them into invincible mutants, by binding ecstasy with steroid.

NUTRITIONIST - (Shocked) H-How?

BRETT - You know yesterday morning you were trying to reach the coach right?

NUTRITIONIST - Uh uh.

BRETT - That was my first conversation....with my victim....over the phone.

NUTRITIONIST - W-What??

BRETT - Anna! Dean! show him the video recordings!

ANNA/DEAN - Yes.

(They show him the video recordings of both interrogations).

NUTRITIONIST - (Shocked).

BRETT - 4 Policemen surrounding this laboratory compound, me and my four agents here to finish the case off. What's your plan?

NUTRITIONIST - (Runs around the lab, throwing chemicals at them).

DEAN - Everybody duck! duck! duck!

JENSEN - Oi!

DEAN - He's throwing chemicals!

JENSEN - Oh! down! down!

ANNA - He's getting away!

BRETT - I'm going for him.

(Brett chases after the nutritionist in the laboratory).

NUTRITIONIST - (Cornered near a table) D-Don't come near me! I-I'm warning you!

BRETT - (Comes forward).

NUTRITIONIST - I'll! I'll! (finds a pocket knife on the table) I'll kill you! I'll hack at your neck!

BRETT - You'll hack at my neck. Do it.

NUTRITIONIST - (Shaking).

BRETT - Don't worry, I can wait here all day.

NUTRITIONIST - (Shaking even more).

BRETT - Hack at my neck! you imbecile!! (grabs him by the arm, snatches the knife and places it next to his neck) you had your chance.

NUTRITIONIST - D-Don't kill me! please I-I'm begging you!!

BRETT - Come with me (drags him) get the car.

[Scene 56]

V. CONSTABLES - Sir!

DEAN - Start the car.

BRETT - (Shoves the nutritionist inside the car) Jensen, I'll take care of him. You two get in the car at the front.

JENSEN - Sure.

BRETT - Right. Heading for the police station okay?

JENSEN - Yes.

(In the car)

ANNA - Step on it.

(They reach the police station)

POLICE OFFICER - Sir! pleasure to meet you!

JAMES - Yes, thanks for your help.

POLICE OFFICER - Don't mention it.

JENSEN - Right then, is the interrogation room ready?

POLICE OFFICER - Yes, yes. Proceed.

ANNA - Video recording?

DEAN - All set.

(In the interrogation room, nutritionist is all tied up inside)

NUTRITIONIST - What do you want from me?!

BRETT - Shush! you had your chance. Now.....it's my turn.

NUTRITIONIST - (Stunned).

BRETT - You saw the video recordings. You know very well how we got here.

NUTRITIONIST - Spare me! please!!

BRETT - Let me see.....you've brought in danger to Dalek athletes, just to win, am I right?

NUTRITIONIST - (Silent).

BRETT - Personally......I really don't feel like letting you go.

NUTRITIONIST - B-But why??

BRETT - Anna! pass me your phone.

ANNA - Here.

BRETT - (Plays Lily's recording "Kill them! don't spare them! how dare they try to endanger our sporting careers!").

NUTRITIONIST - (Shocked).

BRETT - Lily knows, Team Dalek knows, the replacement coach knows too! and do you know what they've all decided?

NUTRITIONIST - (Scared) W-W-What?

BRETT - (Draws his gun and loads it) This (aims towards his head).

NUTRITIONIST - W-What!! p-please!! d-don't kill me!! d-don't!!-

BRETT - I'm not killing you for myself. The national team you entrusted with the drugs, wants you dead! end of story, I'm nothing but their echo.

NUTRITIONIST - Please!! please!!

BRETT - Next time, think before you do something stupid like that. Any stupid act like that will endanger the entire country, at least be happy that I haven't revealed the full story to the public. Not for you! but for the athletes, so that their reputation doesn't get spoilt.

NUTRITIONIST - (Shivering) Don't!!!!

BRETT - Good night (shoots him in the head).
