Tough Love: Episode 5

Yeah, I know.
(Cut to a close-up of an oven as a hand turns one of the dials and small flames come out of the stovetop. Cut to a shot of Jasmine as she cracks and egg into a pan on top of the stove. Another disciple, Kim, walks past her.)
KIM
Good morning, sister.
(Jasmine nods back a Kim. Cut back to Oblex’s study and a one shot of Wilt skimming a bookshelf. He pulls out a book titled “Greek Deities: What you need to know. Cut to a full shot of the room as Lana opens the door and steps partway inside.)
LANA
Don’t you go slacking off on your work too.
(Cut to a medium shot of the Mistress sitting at a table in the Disciple’s Lair. Jasmine walks on-screen and sets a plate with an omelet on it in front of her.)
MISTRESS
You’re running a little slow this morning. I’ll expect you to complete your duties in a timely manner from now on.
(Cut to a split-screen showing close-ups of both Wilt and Jasmine. They speak at the same time.)
WILT JASMINE
Yes ma’am. Yes Mistress.
(Fade to black.)
EXT. – DOWNTOWN LÁGNOS – MIDDAY
(Scene opens with a tracking shot of Duke, Wilt, and Lana walking along a sidewalk in downtown Lágnos where they appear to be walking in the direction of the camera.)
LANA
Alright, so I get that god is trying to kill you now. I mean who wouldn’t? But what I still don’t get is how you arrived in Greece at the same time I did.
DUKE
I told you, that was just a coincidence.
WILT
Either that or Aphrodite’s just screwing with you guys.
(All three turn their attention to the sound of someone yelling off-screen.)
TOURIST
Give that back!
(Cut to a full shot showing a girl with dyed hair and wearing all black running away from a female tourist and clutching something shiny in her hand. Cut to a one shot of the girl, Venom, as she runs forward, lo
oking behind her until she bumps into Duke. Cut to a medium shot of Duke and Venom as Venom looks up at Duke. Close-up on her eyes as they twinkle to show Aphrodite’s spell taking effect. Cut back to the medium shot. Venom speaks in a Cockney British accent.)
VENOM
‘Ello, love. Mind ‘ang’n on to this ‘ere for a bit? Promise it’ll be worth your time.
(Venom winks and slips a necklace into Duke’s pocket, then runs away. The tourist comes running up to Duke.)
