DUKE
Car trouble! (To Wilt) Totally saved it.
PRIESTESS
Right then. As you can see this is the main hall where we have small shrines to all of the twelve gods. Most of the gods have their own temples nearby as well. At the end of the hall we have the shrine to our island’s chief deity, Aphrodite.
(The priestess gestures over to Aphrodite’s shrine which is adorned with a silver tapestry.)
LANA
Thank you. Would you mind giving me just a minute with my colleagues?
(The priestess exits. Lana reaches into her bag and pulls out a camera which she hands to Wilt.)
LANA
Ok. I’m going to go with the priestess. What I want you two to do is take this camera and start taking pictures of the shrines and temples. (Looking at Duke with disdain.) Do you think you can handle that?
WILT
We’ll be fine.
(Lana exits. Duke and Wilt turn and stare intently at the shrine of Aphrodite.)
DUKE
Do you think I should…?
WILT
(Shrugging) It couldn’t hurt.
(Duke kneels down nervously to pray by the shrine.)
DUKE
Um, Aphrodite?
(Duke is suddenly launched across the room by an invisible force and gets smacked against the wall on the other side of the room. He slowly sits up, noticeably in pain.)
DUKE
Is there any chance that Lana saw that?

INT. – DISCIPLE’S LAIR – MIDDAY
(Scene opens with a full shot inside the Cult of Aphrodite’s new base. The subtitle “Tuesday” appears near the bottom of the screen then fades away. The Mistress is sitting at a table looking intently at the crystal ball that was stolen from the museum. In the background Jasmine is sparring with one of the other disciples of Aphrodite. Reluctant to hurt her friend she only blocks the disciple’s punches.)
MISTRESS
(Deep in thought.) Underneath the glass lies the true path.
(Jasmine grabs her opponent’s arm and flips her over her shoulder.)
