ONE:

He's on a truck now, out of site of the firemen.

REG CAPTION: I don't know why, but I've always been a little faster -- better reflexes, better aim...

into the fire

TWO: Larger panel.

They reach the scene and firemen are preparing themselves -- the Kid stands atop the truck, ready for action.

REG CAPTION: I mean, it's not, like, I've got powers. I'm just, somehow, quicker.

REG CAPTION: But right now, I just can't figure what it is I'm supposed to do.

THREE: Smaller panel.

The firemen are working a couple of hoses at the building; one fireman stops near PK.

REG CAPTION: What...can...I...d-- ?!

FIREMAN: Search the area! Hey, Phantom Kid, right? This old place has no power coming into it.

FIREMAN 2: This was arson!

FOUR:

Same as panel three in size, with inset (see below).

PK spots some kids running away...

REG CAPTION: I keep running into these guys --

INSET: one kid is tossing matches over his shoulder

REG CAPTION 2: --aw, geez.

PAGE 8

ONE:

Lopez sits alone in his run-down apartment (not that he can't afford better, but we'll get to that another day), sitting at a table with the light on above him. He's looking over some papers.

SFX: Rrring!

TWO:

Lopez on phone now.

LOPEZ: Go ahead, "Grissom," what've ya' got, hm?

LOPEZ 2: Heh...I know your "ring" that's how...Nothing? Great, just great.

LOPEZ 3: No, when we found the couple, the first officer on the scene said Phantom Kid was spotted exiting. I never expected his involvement, but I was hoping there'd be - mmm - some proof they didn't off each other...

PAGE 9

ONE:

PK is sliding, by his hands, down a fire escape ladder, his feet out below him...

LOPEZ CONT'D - CAPTION: "...Just something to, you know, tie in those kids in the Muerté gang."

TWO:

PK catches up, grabbing the hood of a fleeing gang member.

NOTE TO ARTIST: Remember, they wear bandanas to cover a symbolic tattoo on their foreheads.

THREE:

PK swings the guy he nabs into some trash cans as his friend keeps running.

FOUR:

The gang kid takes out a gun, aims it at PK.

PHANTOM KID (quietly): Oh shhheef!

FIVE:

PK does a cartwheel towards him as he shoots.

REG CAPTION:

I was ready for that, I mean, sorta...

PAGE 10

ONE:

PK's kicked the gun out of the other kid's hand.

REG CAPTION:

Cartwheels look silly, but it caught the guy off guard.

TWO:

PK grabs the kid (for the record, this particular kid is white or black, not Hispanic -- the Muertés should be depicted as a non-discriminatory murdering band of scum).

PHANTOM KID: Why'd you set fire to the building?

REG CAPTION: What else am I supposed to say, "Fear me, oh evil-doer"?

Fire!

GANG KID: Doesn't matter. It's too late. He's already dead.

THREE:

PK reacts to that ...

PK: What?!...

FOUR:

PK: Who's dead?

FIVE:

The gang member pulls off his bandana to reveal the tattoo (symbol to be determined with artist).

GANG KID: You. You are dead.

SIX:

PK punches him -- hard.

SEVEN:

PK (thought balloon): He's out. I'll bring him to the scene, let the firemen and cops take care of--

SFX: c-click!

EIGHT:

A good crowd of gang members have gathered behind PK. One holds a gun. All of them have their bandanas off, showing off their tats, which glow in the dark.

GUN GUY: Relax, m' friend, I ain't gonna shoot--

GUN GUY 2: --we want this to last.
