TRIACS (19)

AFTER EFFECTS

WESTIN RESORT HOTEL-SAINT JOHN'S ISLAND-BEN BROACH'S SUITE-5 P.M.

LOCAL OFFICIALS AND HOTEL MANAGEMENT COMB OVER BREAK-IN AND START QUESTIONING THE BROCHES ON WHAT'S MISSING 

OFFICER

"So, you say everything gone through but yet nothing is missing?"

BEN BROACH

"Not that I can figure...we didn't have anything out, but I guess whoever was breaking in didn't know that...there wasn't any cash or anything...just clothes and a camera...who knows what they were looking for?"

OFFICER

"You know, right before after the break in...a man who meets the description of who we see going in your room on video, blow himself up somehow, he dead!"

CLAIRE BROACH

"That is the weirdest thing...so he must have had a gun on him, you think?"

RESORT MANAGER

"We're not sure what to think...we found this on him though...

SHOWING THE BROACHES THE TRIAC DEVICE

OFFICER

"Does this look like anything you might be missing...we don't know what it is, but your initials are B.B. like Ben Broach, coincidence or not?"

BEN

"Oh yea, wow what would he want with that, thank you for finding it!"

RESORT MANAGER

"So, this is yours...what is it, all I see is a switch here...looks like a mini speaker for a stereo or something?"

BEN

"Yea, that's what it is...it's a Bluetooth speaker...no wires..."

MANAGER LOOKS AS THOUGH HE'S GOING TO FLIP THE SWITCH

BEN SEEING OFFICER WITH GUN, TRIES TO GRAB TRIAC OUT OF HIS HAND

OFFICER

"Wait, you must declare this your property, you sign here...I must ask you to look at victim and make sure you don't recognize him..."

BEN

"Yea, that's fine, ah...can I see that...I want to make sure this is it...the one that belongs to me?"

MANAGER HANDS HIM DEVICE, WHERE UPON BEN QUICKLY UNSCREWS BOTTOM AND TAKES OUT BATTERIES, TO AVOID ANY EXPLOSION

OFFICER

"We go see body now, why were you taking the batteries out?"

BEN

"Oh, batteries are expensive out here...got to save the charge...you want me to look at the body...let's do that!"

CLAIRE GAGGING UPON VISION OF CARNAGE

CLAIRE

"Oh my God...this is horrible...this is..."

BEN

"This is really sad, what happened officer?"

OFFICER

"Somehow, it looks like he was carrying a gun, and some how it exploded while it was in his waistband...his guts...you see...over there and there and there...."

BEN

"And all he had was my mini speaker, maybe he was a fan of good music, tired of that crappy smartphone sound...maybe he was trying to hijack a car and it jammed...who knows?"

OFFICER

"Yes, most suspicious...so you not know this person?"

BEN

"No for heaven's sake, never seen him before...did you I.D. him?"

RESORT MANAGER

"He's was a guest here...never been here before, but paid cash...ah Wong Tah Li...from Korea...North Korea I believe!"

BEN SWALLOWING HARD

"Really, all the way from North Korea...how interesting...wonder what he was doing way out here?"

OFFICER

"That's what I would like to know...coming in to break into other's room, it doesn't add up, something you not tell me...I find out truth?"

BEN

"Just a weird hobby for some...I mean I'm thinking like you...there's got to be a reason here?"

OFFICER

"I will find out...you stay here, in room...I suspect connection...what you do for living...I find out if you not tell truth...funny feeling about woman, too?"

CLAIRE

"For heaven's sake officer, I'm his wife...we are just as confused about this as you are...please don't make assumptions!"

OFFICER

"I assume everything, then take away what doesn't fit puzzle...like Dick Tracey...mastermind of police!"

CLAIRE

"Dick Tracey...really?"

OFFICER

"Best of crimefighting, we learn in detective school back in Jamaica...my home!"

BEN NUDGING CLAIRE

"Well, Dick Tracey trained most of the FBI back in the states, he is our hero!"

CLAIRE

"I almost married Dick...I wasn't good enough for him...so I settled for this guy!"

OFFICER

"So, you know Dick personally...wow...that impress me...we like family now!"

CLAIRE WALKING OVER, GIVING OFFICER A HUG

"Look, I can't explain why things happen...but they do, maybe it was a higher power that brought us together...it was fate!"

OFFICER

"I hope you forgive me for accusing you for things that happen to bad guy...you are Godly couple, I sorry I insist on...please forgive my bad?"

BEN WALKING OVER> GRABBING DEVICE OUT OF OFFICER'S HAND

"No problem...what was your name sir?"

OFFICER (CERVEZ YOUNG)

"My name Officer Young...Cervez Young of Island of Saint John...we meet...you two very nice people...I lift my quarantine...we take body...you have speaker back...we pray to Lord...need peace and recovery...you agree my thoughts?"

CLAIRE

"Exactly what I was thinking, you are the best Cervez...I am feeling so stressed right now, I need to go take a shower...ah Ben honey, care to join me?"

BEN

"Yes, a good cleansing sounds like the trick...closer to God!

OFFICER

"We could all three heal in spa, maybe pool...beach?"

BEN

"Cervez...we are married and our religious principal's are close and personal...hope you understand?"

OFFICER

"Of course, of course...we have body in the bags...many bags...strange to say that...I watch, you two...be careful, doors locked...enjoy your speaker...I go now, bye, bye!"

BEN AND CLAIRE QUICKLY WALKING BACK TO ROOM, ARM IN ARM WITH TRIAC AND BATTERIES IN HAND

BEN

"First time for everything..."
