INT: HIGH SECURITY PRISON CELL
Inside the cell, there is nobody or nothing except Daryll and Angie and stone walls. They are positioned on the floor, intertwined passionately making love with one another. Enter Marcus. They both look up and see Marcus standing in the doorway with a horrified look on his face.

Daryll: What are you talking about? You know her??
Marcus: THAT’S MY GIRLFRIEND. Correction, that was my girlfriend.
Marcus storms out of the room, entirely shattered.
Daryll: Angie, you knew this whole time that Marcus was my best friend and you didn’t tell me any of this?
Angie: I didn’t think he’d find out… I thought we were going to die… I thought this was the end.
Daryll: That doesn’t make it right. You are despicable. You make me sick.
Daryll storms out, running after Marcus to try and explain…

Scene 1: Marcus walking down a stone hallway inside a jail cell looking for his best friend Daryll and his girlfriend Ange after he just dismantled the Department of Homeland Security. A voice over is discussing betrayal of trust pertaining to friends and women. A security camera follows his progress down the hall. Close up on the camera, then a panning shot of the hallway and Marcus walking down it. Close up on Marcus’ face... focused... determined to find his friends.
Scene 2: Marcus enters into a high security prison jail cell... to a sight that will change his world. He walks in on Ange and Daryll passionately intertwined. Marcus is horrified. His whole world has been shattered. His best friend and his girlfriend together... Ange calls out to him to wait as he runs away.
Scene 3: Sitting alone on his bed... Marcus is wearing all black. He's a dark and disturbed young man... sorta like Spider Man 3 when he starts a black Spiderman suit. He's lost all faith in humanity. He has lost touch with himself and the world, he’s become an “emo” and he is just moping around. Suddenly, his cell phone beeps. Nobody talks to Marcus anymore, he had cut off all ties with humanity.
Cell Phone Screen : VAN: Hey... I Need To Talk To You. Can You Meet Me At Our Spot?
Scene 4: Van and Marcus' meet at a park bench... It’s a nice day, people playing Frisbee around them with their dogs, kids getting ice cream at an ice cream truck. Marcus seems very awkward and doesn’t really know what to do with himself during this scene as Van tries to talk him out of his current state. Marcus gradually warms up to Van and starts to talk about his feelings. This is the first time he’s talked about Angie and Daryll since he walked in on them, and the first person he’s told. Marcus is an emotional wreck and Van talks him through his issues. This scene will conclude with them smiling at each other because they've made amends.
Scene 5: A video montage of Marcus and Van spending time together. Shot of them sitting in a coffee shop talking over some coffee. Cut to another scene of the two of them watching a scary movie together and Marcus puts his arm around her as she cowers and holds him. Cut to another shot of them riding through the park, racing on their bicycles. One last shot of Marcus and Van lying on Marcus’ bed, making out passionately as clothes come flying off.
Scene 6: several years later Marcus is happy again. Voice over explains that he and Van have been dating for several years and are finally tying the knot.. Camera follows them coming out of the church in their wedding outfits all the way to the car, with the “Just Married” sign on the back. They drive off in a red convertible on the way to paradise and the rest of their lives. As they pass through an intersection, Daryll and Angie are standing together and see them drive by. Camera focuses in on the shocked expressions on their faces. Both of them step out into the street and are suddenly hit by a speeding car. They both die instantly. Screen goes black. The following words appear : "Karma's a Bitch"
