Good. I was worried that I would have to talk you out of rescuing him.
WILT
Rescue? From what?
JASMINE
(Realizing that she made a mistake.) Um…
(Camera follows Wilt as he runs out of the bathroom to the phone in his living room. He picks up the phone and dials franticly.)
DUKE’S VOICEMAIL
(From inside the phone.) Yo! You got Duke. Leave a message after the beep. (Beep)
WILT
Duke, call me the second you get this!
(Wilt puts down the phone and turns around to find Jasmine standing in front of him.)
JASMINE
Listen, Duke in caught up in the middle of some very dangerous business. His fate has already been determined and although you might not fully understand why, it’s best for you not to get involved.
WILT
So what? Am I just supposed to abandon him?
(Jasmine walks over to the window and opens it. Cut to a medium shot of her by the window.)
JASMINE
All I’m saying is: In the end there won’t be anything that you can do to save him. Is all of this really worth risking your life? Think about it.
(Jasmine jumps out of the window and Wilt runs over to look for her. Cut to a point of view shot looking out the window to show that Jasmine is gone.)
INT. KATIE’S BASEMENT – NIGHT
(Scene opens in total darkness.)
KATIE
Wake up sleepyhead.
(Darkness disappears and Katie is seen though Duke’s point of view. Duke’s vision is slightly blurred but slowly comes into focus.)
KATIE
Rise and shine.
(Cut to a full shot of the room to show Duke tied to a chair in Katie’s basement.)
DUKE
(Slowly regaining consciousness.) Where am I?
KATIE
