AVERY/NARRATOR
Little to nothing is known about the life of this elusive author. And since 1999 Jakob Stanley seems to have completely dropped off the face of the earth. Until a short two-line obituary appeared in a small town paper, over a year ago.
TOLEN/NARRATOR
From BOO Labs and Red Cup Media, I'm Tolen Reid -
AVERY/NARRATOR
And I'm Avery Fischer, this is TELL ME A STORY: THE TRUE LIFE OF JAKOB STANLEY.
SFX: RJ and Tolen are trudging through the dense woods, the ground crunches under their feet.
04:47.100
TOLEN
Damn it, I had to delete all that to save space.
RJ
Is it working to your liking now?
TOLEN
I mean I would kill for more memory. It’s worth the investment.
RJ
Gimme back my phone.
SFX: Tolen passes the phone back to RJ. The walkie button clicks.
RJ (CONT’D)
Sorry about that, Tolen is bitching about my phone.
SFX: Walkie Beep.
CHUCK
Good to know he really gets what’s truly important right now.
SFX: The walkie button clicks.
RJ
You both still doing alright?
SFX: Walkie Beep.
05:10.575
CHUCK
Uh, I’m fine... Avery is-
AVERY
HUH?!
CHUCK
Focused. ... I think she’s gonna have the entire series completed before you get back.
SFX: The walkie button clicks.
RJ
Both their priorities are questionable right now.
SFX: The walkie button clicks.
TOLEN
Wow, this fire damage is wild. All here, and over there, was not open like this before.
SFX: The walkie button clicks.
RJ
At least he knows where we’re going.
TOLEN
Oh wait, no this way.
SFX: The walkie button clicks.
RJ
At least I think he knows where we’re going?
SFX: Walkie Beep. The signal cuts out and distorts Chuck’s voice.
CHUCK
I sure as shit hope so.
SFX: The walkie button clicks.
RJ
Chuck?
CHUCK
RJ?
RJ
I think the walkie is losing signal.
SFX: Walkie Beep. The signal is even worse - you can barely make out Chuck’s voice.
CHUCK
RJ?
RJ
Chuck?
CHUCK
I think the walkie is... losing signal.
SFX: The walkie button clicks.
RJ
Chuck?
CHUCK
RJ?
SFX: A few pops and static, but no Chuck.
SFX: The walkie button clicks.
RJ
Chuck?
SFX: A few pops and static, but still no Chuck.
06:07.650
RJ (CONT’D)
Well, that’s just fantastic.
TOLEN
Don’t worry we’re almost there.
RJ
This has been way longer than a mile.
TOLEN
“Mile or so.”
RJ
What?
TOLEN
I said it would be “a mile or so”.
RJ
You know, Tolen, I’m really glad you feel good enough after such a horrible car accident, to have an argument over semantics with one of the people you almost killed. It’s really great.
06:34.650
RJ (CONT’D)
My God I need to pee.
TOLEN
Hop a squat, I don’t mind.
RJ
Thanks for the permission, but I’m not gonna “hop a squat.”
TOLEN
Why not? When in the woods the world is your toilet.
RJ
The world is not your toilet! Fucking hell, how much further?
TOLEN
It should be-
SFX: Suddenly, there is rustling in the woods around them; they go silent.
TOLEN (CONT’D)
Did you hear that?
RJ
Yes.
TOLEN
You don’t think it’s-
RJ
Jakob Stanley stalking us in the woods? No, no I do not.
TOLEN
I wasn’t gonna say that.
RJ
Shhh!
SFX: The wind picks up. Then silence.
TOLEN
Well, whatever it was, it’s gone now.
WALLACE
What in the wild, wild world of sports are you kids doing out here?
SFX: RJ and Tolen jump.
RJ
Shit!
TOLEN
Jesus Christ!
WALLACE
Take it easy now!
RJ
What are you doing out here?
07:32.950
WALLACE
I was checking for storm damage. We got hit with one hell of a S.O.B. last night and a bunch of my trees came down around the house and I wanted to make sure nothing was hitting the power lines. Now, what in the hell are you guys doing out here?
TOLEN
Sorry, sorry, we just - We were on our way to your place and we got into a car accident.
WALLACE
Oh no! Is everybody okay?
RJ
We’re alright, Avery and Chuck bore the brunt of it.
WALLACE
Shit. Where are they?
TOLEN
They’re still at the car.
RJ
We were walking to your place to call for an ambulance.
WALLACE
They ain’t unconscious or anything?
TOLEN
No, they were fine, just not up to the walk.
RJ
I wouldn’t say they were fine, they definitely need a hospital... but they were cognizant.
WALLACE
Shit, well, okay. Best get moving.
SFX: Wallace starts walking in a different direction then the one they were walking.
08:16.525
TOLEN
Wait. I thought your place was that way.
WALLACE
Sorry son, but you were walking in the wrong direction.
RJ
Goddamnit, Tolen.
SFX: The recording stops abruptly.
SFX: Wallace, RJ and Tolen trudge through the woods to Wallace’s home, where there is a very annoying set of wind chimes.
08:28.600
RJ
- I would have never realized there was a house over here.
WALLACE
Yeah, that’s kinda the point. I left all this over grow a bit. Like having that bit of nature right outside your door, you know what I mean?
TOLEN
I am so glad you found us.
WALLACE
I’m glad I found you too, buddy. And here we are. Tolen, take my truck keys and start’er up for me.
SFX: Wallace tosses Tolen his truck keys.
08:50.922
TOLEN
Will do.
WALLACE
RJ let me show you where the bathroom is, and I’ll call for the ambulance.
SFX: Wallace opens the door and holds it for RJ as she enters.
RJ
Thank you.
SFX: The door slams closed behind Wallace. Tolen goes to the truck and starts it up.
TOLEN
Fuck. ...
SFX: Tolen taps on the dashboard nervously.
TOLEN (CONT’D)
Fuck.
SFX: Again, Tolen taps on the dashboard nervously.
TOLEN
Okay. Okay...you’re okay... Okay...okay, you’re okay... okay. Okay...you’re okay... So, we were walking, uhm, from the crash site... and Wallace found us. And now, we’re at his house and I’ve started up his truck and RJ and Wallace are calling for an ambulance. And then we all drive back out to Avery and Chuck... whenever ... they... are... done. Come the fuck on guys! I would have never found this place. ... Seriously Avery, if Wallace had not shown up when he did, shit. ... Avery, I am so sorry. I’m sorry about the accident... I’m sorry about everything. ... UH! Come on, guys!
SFX: RJ’s cell phone falls off the seat to the floor board.
TOLEN
Son of a-
SFX: Tolen reaches down and pats around the phone trying to find it. Suddenly, the driver’s side door swings open. Startled Tolen bumps his head on the steering wheel while sitting up.
TOLEN
Shit.
WALLACE
Scooch over.
SFX: The phone is still on the floor of the cab, Tolen slides over to the passenger side. Wallace gets in, the car seat’s springs squeak under his weight. He closes the truck door.
SFX: Wallace tosses a paper bag on the dash.
12:24.162
TOLEN
Where’s RJ?
WALLACE
She’s gonna wait here for the police.
SFX: The car pulls out of the driveway and they hit the road.
TOLEN
What’s in the bag?
WALLACE
Some sandwiches, thought you might be hungry.
TOLEN
Oh... thanks.
SFX: The roads are rough and the truck gets tossed about a bit. Then, it starts to rain again.
WALLACE
Well, that’s just perfect.
TOLEN
Don’t worry. They’re sitting in the car.
WALLACE
Hum?
TOLEN
Avery and Chuck. We didn’t roll it or anything, they can sit inside the car. So, the rain isn’t-
WALLACE
What?
TOLEN
Oh, I thought... Never mind. Sorry.
TOLEN
Uh, Wallace?
WALLACE
Yeah?
TOLEN
I’m not sure we’re... going in the right direction.
WALLACE
These roads at night can be a bit confusing if you’re not familiar.
TOLEN
Huh.
WALLACE
Also you gotta keep your eye out for deer.
TOLEN
What?
WALLACE
They are everywhere around here.
TOLEN
Uh.
WALLACE
Are those deer? Up there over on your side?
TOLEN
What? Where?
SFX: BAM. Wallace slams on the car breaks and the recording cuts off.
SFX: The rain starts coming down hard as Avery and Chuck run through the woods calling out to Tolen and RJ.
AVERY
TOLEN? ... RJ?
CHUCK
TOLEN!?
AVERY
TOLEN? ... Shit, there is no way in hell they found this place.
CHUCK
I know, it’s really hidden back here.
AVERY
TOLEN?
CHUCK
RJ?! ... TOLEN?
AVERY
Wait, is that it?
14:06.600
CHUCK
Yeah.
AVERY
Like the home of a Hobbit militia.
CHUCK
Okay, okay hold on.
SFX: Chuck and Avery pull under a tree to shield from the rain.
AVERY
Alright, how we doing this?
CHUCK
There’s a screen door on that side of the house that doesn’t have a lock on it.
AVERY
Okay so, we just... break in?
CHUCK
Rather ask for forgiveness than permission.
AVERY
No right, right. Uh. Ah, is there another way in or out?
CHUCK
Front door, but there’s a bunch of shit in front of it, so he doesn’t use it.
14:34.350
AVERY
Okay, so ha ha ha, uh... Ready?
CHUCK
Ready.
SFX: Chuck and Avery scramble to the side of the house. Chuck carefully opens the screen door, and they both enter Wallace’s house. The wind chimes outside continue to be heard inside the quiet house.
SFX: Avery bumps into the kitchen table, and stubs her toe.
AVERY
Shit.
CHUCK
Shhh!
SFX: Suddenly, they hear a muffled scream coming from the basement beneath them.
AVERY
That’s RJ.
CHUCK
Basement.
SFX: Avery and Chuck run to the basement door and scramble down the wooden steps loudly.
AVERY
RJ?
SFX: RJ screams through a gag in her mouth.
SFX: Chuck pulls the chain on a lone hanging light bulb. It pops on with an electric hiss.
AVERY
Oh my God.
SFX: Avery and Chuck rush over to RJ, who is gagged and tied to a wooden chair.
15:50.200
AVERY (CONT’D)
Oh my God. Look at your eye. Oh my God!
CHUCK
Where is Wallace? Is he here?
SFX: RJ screams “Uh-uh” through the gag. Avery starts to try to remove the gag, as Chuck starts untying RJ from the chair.
AVERY
I’m so sorry it’s caught in your hair. Here we go, here we go. ... Honey, I am so sorry, here. Here we go.
SFX: The gag peels off RJ's face and she desperately tries to catch her breath.
CHUCK
Are you sure Wallace isn’t here?
AVERY
Where is Tolen?
RJ
He... he left with Wallace... I don’t know where. - Can you please get me untied.
CHUCK
Trying. This knot is fucking-
RJ
Is there anything behind me?
AVERY
No. Why?
SFX: RJ flings herself backwards breaking the wooden chair.
CHUCK
Damn girl.
AVERY
Well, that’s one way to do it. Jesus Christ!
CHUCK
Are you ok? What happened?
AVERY
Here let me, Chuck can you...
SFX: Avery and Chuck dive to the floor pulling pieces of the wooden chair away and help RJ get untied.
RJ
Wallace found us in the woods... Tolen had gotten us lost. We got back here and Wallace gave Tolen the keys to start up his truck. I came in to use the bathroom and Wallace was going to call for an ambulance. When I came out of the bathroom, Wallace... Wallace cold cocked me... I was out for a few seconds and I woke up tied to the chair and Wallace was running up the stairs.
AVERY
I’ll fucking kill him.
RJ
I heard Wallace get in the truck with Tolen and take off.
16:58.377
AVERY
So he just took off with Tolen in the truck?
CHUCK
What the fuck is happening?
AVERY
What the fuck is happening?
RJ
Not that I am not grateful, but what made you guys come after us?
AVERY
Uh, we reviewed more of the video file from the night Wallace brought us dinner. He didn’t know we were filming, and there was just weird shit. And it seemed like he deliberately took the manuscript. And maybe the memory cards.
RJ
What the hell?
17:23.697
CHUCK
And he probably drugged us too.
RJ
That fucking cider!
AVERY
Shit! And remember he brought some for Deb and Loretta. Fuuucck... that’s probably why we couldn’t find them when we got up.
RJ
Oh no.
CHUCK
We were hoping to get to you before you got here, but...
SFX: RJ is now free from the ropes.
RJ
What the hell is his end game here?
AVERY
We gotta call the cops.
CHUCK
There’s a phone in the kitchen.
AVERY
Hold on there’s just one more... alright. RJ, you good?
RJ
Yeah, let’s get this fucker.
AVERY
Okay, okay. Chuck will you? Alright. Count of 3, one, two, three.
SFX: Chuck and Avery help RJ to her feet.
AVERY (CONT’D)
Yep, yep you're good. Come on, you're good.
SFX: Chuck, Avery and RJ climb the stairs.
SFX: Chuck dives for the kitchen phone. She picks up the receiver.
18:21.700
CHUCK
It’s dead.
AVERY
What?
SFX: Avery crosses and tries the phone.
AVERY
I will kill that man.
RJ
What the hell?
AVERY
What?
SFX: RJ grabs a pass card hanging from a hook in the living room. The chain it is attached to jingles.
RJ
Why does he have a pass card for the Mendenhall Gate? [BEEP] had one hanging from his key chain.
AVERY
The fuck?
CHUCK
Guys?
AVERY
Oh, fuck. What now?
CHUCK
What the hell is all this?
SFX: Avery and RJ enter the living room.
18:46.975
RJ
These are all the boxes from Jane’s place and the FMC.
SFX: Chuck knocks the lid off of one of the boxes.
CHUCK
Shit.
AVERY
What?
CHUCK
This one is empty.
AVERY
Wait, what?!
SFX: They start frantically opening the boxes.
AVERY (CONT’D)
No no nonononononono. ... Empty.
RJ
Empty.
CHUCK
Empty.
RJ
Empty.
AVERY
Empty.
CHUCK
This one has a few of the drawings from the FMC.
RJ
Empty.
AVERY
Empty.
CHUCK
Oh, no. ... The fireplace.
SFX: Avery and Chuck scramble over to the fireplace, the fire is low, but still burning. RJ keeps checking boxes.
AVERY
That shit stain.
RJ
What the hell?!
AVERY
Is anything salvageable from in there?
SFX: Chuck takes the poker and jabs at the burning embers.
CHUCK
No, not really.
AVERY
Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
CHUCK
Look, he didn’t get to these yet.
SFX: Avery, Chuck and RJ sit on the floor and begin looking through the pile.
AVERY
Anyone seeing the manuscript?
RJ
Just a bunch of illustrations...
CHUCK
Lots of... L.L. Randolph stuff.
RJ
Yeah. All of these are Randolph.
19:38.820
AVERY
Huh, yeah these too. ... Buuuut, I don’t recognize them. They’re not from the last book?
RJ
Some of these... I don’t remember cataloging... I don’t think we had these?
AVERY
Shit, that’s right. We have pictures of everything. Oh I could fucking kiss Whitaker right now for being such a bitch about that.
CHUCK
They’re all on your phone, right?
RJ
Yeah! Oh fuck.
AVERY
What?
RJ
Tolen has my phone. He was using it to record.
AVERY
I swear, if Wallace touches one hair on Tolen’s head, I will fucking kill him.
CHUCK
Well, we need to find him first.
RJ
Did you guys bring the walkie?
AVERY
Yes. Oh shit, can you use these to find him?
RJ
No, but if he still has the walkie on, and if we get within a mile or so of where he is, we might be able to communicate with him.
AVERY
Well, that’s a start.
CHUCK
Why’d he take Tolen and leave you here?
RJ
Maybe to separate us? Easier to subdue one person, than two.
AVERY
I guess.
CHUCK
What’s with burning all the research we collected?
AVERY
He didn’t want us to find out something about Stanley?
20:40.935
RJ
So, trying to protect Stanley?
CHUCK
Or, trying to protect himself.
AVERY
That fucker is L.L. Randolph, isn’t he?
RJ
Hu-h.
AVERY
Shhhhiiiiit. ... Uh! Fuck-knuckle.
RJ
And us showing up and digging around wasn’t a part of the retirement plan.
CHUCK
But, we hadn’t put that together? He would have been in the clear. Why flip out now?
RJ
Yeah, but he didn’t know that.
AVERY
And who the hell knows what else we would’ve found.
RJ
We already started thinking Stanley was a possible murderer... what if he had an accomplice?
CHUCK
Wallace wasn’t even born when that bully died in the quarry.
RJ
But, what if the bully wasn’t the only one.
CHUCK
Wait... what the hell are these doing here?
SFX: Chuck crosses to the table.
AVERY
What is it?
CHUCK
The driving gloves Jane gave me.
RJ
What?!
CHUCK
I have been looking all over for these.
21:26.127
RJ
Are you sure these are the same gloves?
CHUCK
Yeah, Stanley’s name is stitched on the inside? Look.
RJ
Avery?
AVERY
Shit. ... Yeah. Okay.
RJ
It’s worth a shot, right?
AVERY
Yeah, yeah.
CHUCK
What? What is? What’s worth a shot?
SFX: RJ kicks into action and starts gathering all of the illustrations and stuff left over from Jane’s.
RJ
We should grab everything here that’s left.
SFX: Avery grabs a duffle bag hanging on the wall and tosses it to the ground and starts helping RJ.
AVERY
Yeah, here, let’s use this duffle. And, keep an eye out for the manuscript.
SFX: RJ begins packing up the duffle.
RJ
Right.
CHUCK
Uhm.
SFX: Avery takes off her back pack.
AVERY
And I have my backpack too, so whatever can’t fit can go in there.
CHUCK
Excuse me?
RJ
You bring the bear spray?
21:52.287
AVERY
Yeah, Chuck has it, shit I left my running knife in the car.
CHUCK
What the fuck?
RJ
Check that closet, he’s gotta have something here.
AVERY
Good call.
CHUCK
Come on guys.
SFX: Avery crosses to the closet and begins rifling through it.
AVERY
Damn, what I wouldn’t give to have one of those guns Loretta tried to give us.
CHUCK
STOP! EVERYBODY STOP!
SFX: Avery and RJ freeze.
CHUCK (CONT’D)
Can someone tell me what in the sweet holy hell is happening right now?
AVERY
Chuck, I borrowed those gloves when we shot that episode of BOO at the Mendenhall.
CHUCK
You took my gloves?
AVERY
Yes.
CHUCK
Why didn’t you tell me you took my gloves?
AVERY
Well-
CHUCK
I’ve been looking for them?
AVERY
Chuck. I lost them there. In the tunnels, at the Mendenhall.
CHUCK
You lost my gloves.
AVERY
RJ, little help?
RJ
She lost them in the tunnels... at the Mendenhall...
CHUCK
Uh-huh?
RJ
And you found them here at Wallace’s?
CHUCK
Uh-huh.
RJ
And he has the Mendenhall gate key card?
CHUCK
Uh-huh.
RJ
He might have taken Tolen there?
CHUCK
What the fuck we waiting for?
SFX: Chuck dives for the floor and starts helping RJ pack up the duffle, Avery goes back to looking for weapons in the closet.
AVERY
Chuck, do you have-
CHUCK
Room in my heart to forgive you for stealing my gloves and then losing them? Certainly, but only if you ask.
AVERY
Jesus Christ! I’m sorry. ... Do you feel better now?
CHUCK
I could do without the tone, but yes, yes I do.
AVERY
I was gonna go back for them before we left town, but, well, things kinda went batshit sideways after that - Oh momma! Found a baseball bat!
RJ
That’s it?
SFX: RJ jumps up and crosses to the closet where Avery was looking for weapons.
AVERY
Sorry.
RJ
At least it will be three against one.
AVERY
Four. Four against one.
SFX: Chuck stands tossing the duffle over her shoulder.
CHUCK
We’re packed.
23:20.685
AVERY
Did you find the manuscript?
CHUCK
No.
AVERY
Damn.
RJ
We walking?
CHUCK
Nope. I’ve gotta better idea.
SFX: Chuck tosses a glass to the floor.
CHUCK (CONT’D)
Follow me.
RJ
Okay ramblers, let’s get rambling.
SFX: They start exiting, breaking and tossing random shit on their way out the door.
CHUCK
Ok, Avery. What were you gonna ask me before?
AVERY
Oh, uh... I was gonna ask if you had the blackjack?
RJ
No. ... Tolen had it.
AVERY
Good, I hope he fucking used it.
SFX: The recorder clicks off.
