Enter stage left 

And head to the prop car Oliver, Josh,

Josh(Lieutenant Maddux)

I found these in the cabinet there were release papers for his work, one of them was of his brother or friend, I’d assume brother but I think the man we’re looking for that could’ve maybe done this and caused all this is Doctor Jeremy Fritz.

Detective Columbo

You know him

Lieutenant Maddux

No, but I knew the boy I worked with him, for a bit, was one of my men in the war when we had to capture this briefcase that had government intellect. Did you see him at the crime scene?

Detective columbo 

I think he was the one in the dumpster.

Lieutenant Maddux

Dang it.

Bring in the set pieces for Ludwig's office and bring up the walls, and door entrance to the building. 

Oliver and Josh walk towards the set door that leads to the building, Oliver make sure you have the fake pistol equipped.  Lieutenant Maddux and Detective Columbo go to the set. Have the lights out, and have them carry flashlights. Lieutenant Maddux fiddles with the light switch lights don’t turn on.

Lieutenant Maddux

The storm must’ve cut the power.

Detective columbo

Check the bathroom.

They see a drip come from the doorframe. And they look above it. Aim the flashlight. It says Conagher Slaughterhouse.

Lieutenant Maddux 

There’s Glass all over the floor, must’ve been a fight in here, or something.

Detective columbo 

I think I know where Jules is.

Point the flashlight at the Conagher slaughterhouse writing on the wall.

Begin to move the set and prepare to set up the Conagher slaughterhouse.

Enter Stage Right with the car prop.

Have car sound effects play, indicating that Maddux and Columbo are driving To the Conagher slaughterhouse. And move the whole prop that has Conagher slaughterhouse.

And make sure to have the stage have this board have a divet on it to indicate that it’s a big fall.

Detective columbo

We’re here. But how are we going to get across?

Lieutenant Maddux

I’ve got an Idea.

Go to the trunk of the fake car. And open it. 

Detective Columbo

You’ve had that thing in my car this whole time.

Lieutenant Maddux

For emergencies.

Grab the fake RPG.

Alex this is when you begin to head on stage get to the platform we placed on the Conagher slaughterhouse prop.

Detective Columbo

And what do you plan on doing with it?

Walk to the ravine(Josh/Lieutenant Maddux)

Lieutenant Maddux.

I’m going to use it to jump across this ravine.

Detective Columbo

You have lost your mind, haven’t you?

Lieutenant Maddux

What I’ve done it before.

Detective Columbo

Put that down before you get us Killed!

Slam the RPG out of Lieutenant’s hand. And then have light follow to the car. While that’s happening have the orange light ready, and drop the fire cutout to indicate it just exploded. And have an explosion sound. And then play fire sound effects. And then have the sound of a gunshot echo through the theater. 

Lieutenant Maddux

Lieutenant Maddux rushes to Oliver and tackles him to the ground and you both run off the stage and out of the theater.

And then have the sound of a sewer door being opened and then play a splash sound effect.

Enter Stage Right. And have a little black prop that blocks their feet a little indicating they are walking in water. And have sewer tunnels props up, And play footsteps, with splash sound effects.

Detective Columbo

I’m never going to find Archibald in this Building.

Lieutenant Maddux

Quite whining… Back in the war, we would spend weeks in stuff like this with water up to our ankles. They were built as trenches for us to survive being hit in. and they could go on for miles.

Detective Columbo

God kill me now….

You have no Idea What you’re getting us into.

Lieutenant Maddux

I have a pretty good one.

Detective Columbo

We should’ve called for backup.

Lieutenant Maddux

And what do you think I’ve been doing, I just saved you from a bullet to the head.

Detective Columbo

And who was it that told them we were coming hmm… Who’s been killing all our leads and sometimes getting the police involved?

Lieutenant Maddux

What 'bout the pictures that evidence we can use?

Detective Columbo

They were in the car you moron, now I’ve got nothing, because of you, you stupid bastard you amateur.

Raise the fake gun at Lieutenant Maddux

Detective Columbo 

Get out of my way.

Lieutenant Maddux

Are you gonna shoot me?

Detective Columbo

I won’t ask again.

Lieutenant Maddux

Did Archibald teach you that?

I hear the sound of a gun being loaded, and then Josh(Lieutenant Maddux) walks to the entrance of the sewer tunnel.  Then peak your head and play the sound effect of a gunshot.

Lieutenant Maddux

JESUS.

Drop the RPG and have a splash sound play. And play a reloading sound. Have the light shine on the stairs area revealing a man with a hat a red suit and a sniper rifle. 

Lieutenant Maddux

Begin to walk out of the tunnel Lieutenant Maddux and antagonize him

Lieutenant Maddux

Luke(the sniper actor) drops the gun and runs but then pretends you were hit. And play an explosion sound. And then Josh(Lieutenant Maddux opens your vest to reveal a bulletproof vest with a bullet in the armor).

Lieutenant Maddux

You didn’t think I’d come prepared.

Detective Columbo

How’d you know he’d not shoot you in the head?

Lieutenant Maddux

I didn’t.

Walk up the stairs and stare at Luke. 

Detective Columbo

Enter stage left Lieutenant Maddux. And have the props for the outside of the building. And then have someone have the light shine on the stage, and then we introduce, a new character by the name of  Cyclops who wears a red suit and has an eyepatch as if he was a pirate, which gives him the nickname Cyclops.. Lieutenant Maddux pulls a flask out. And then Jack(Cyclops) and Lieutenant Maddux begin the scene with us seeing Cyclops in a cell.

Cyclops.

Wait… you’re gonna get me out of here?

Lieutenant Maddux.

And why should I?

Cyclops 

I can help you get out. I know the route of this building.

We see the figure of a shadow walking towards them. Josh looks for the crowbar right next to the cell. And use that to pry the door open, or pretend to.

Lieutenant Maddux

Come on.

Have the figure that they saw rush out. And Rick this is where you come in. You will be playing this monstrous zombie that has long fingers, make sure you have the gloves that have the long fingers equipped on them. Knock Lieutenant Maddux to the ground. And then Lieutenant Maddux pretends that you have stabbed him through the heart. And make sure there are sounds of a stab happening. Throw the crowbar at Cyclops.

Lieutenant Maddux.

Take this… You're gonna need it.

Begin the scene with them walking through the building, to reveal that there back where they were.

Lieutenant Maddux

Are you sure you know where we go… we’ve been walking around the building in circles.

Cyclops

I know where I’m goin-

Lieutenant Maddux

No, you don’t.

Lieutenant Maddux kicks the fake metal door and then has it fall to reveal a weapon cache. Have lights shine in the room to show the room to the audience. Show a body of clammy, grey skin. That has multiple bodies lying there. Have Cyclops and Lieutenant Maddux walk over the bodies as they lay there. Lieutenant Maddux stares at the shelf that has the tape for 2 seconds, just count in your head and then walk over and play the tape.

The tape player.

It’s longer than you think… I’ve seen the other side, it’s longer than you think.

Cyclops swings the crowbar at the fake glass that is in the room and now plays the sound effect of the glass shattering and then plays an alarm go off. And begin to walk in and run to grab guns but then the gray clammy bodies. Duke, Louis, Gabe, and Jake make this grunt and growl sound as if you are zombies, get up first Duke, and then the rest of you get up. Josh fires the RPG has the light shine and follows towards the group of zombies and then makes sure to have the wires ready and pull them up and send Duke and Louis stage left, and Gabe jake, stage right.

Lieutenant Maddux 

I’ve only got one shot left.

Cyclops 

Make it count.

Have the sound of dynamite being lit and then have to be thrown in have the sound of a stick of dynamite being lit up and play the sound of an explosion, and have the wires pull them towards the prop and have them lay on stage as if there knocked. And then have the lights go out.

Have a bar set up and introduce a character called Del(Sid), a friend of Cyclops. Be shown in the light and have Cyclops walk in only have a light on them. And them alone.

Cyclops

Hello Del, long night hey.

Del(sid)

Longer than you think… care for a drink

Cyclops

I’d love one.

Have them grab a bottle of whiskey and just pour it into the glass. And take a drink. 

Cyclops 

Where’ve you been all night, have you been hiding?

Del

Who Says I’ve been hiding?

Cyclops

Your brothers thought you were dead.

Del

Cyclops.

Ye(turn back to the audience as if you see nothing)longer than you think.

Del

Yes.

Cyclops

What?

Del

When they figured out how to bring us back, some of us began to tell stories of people we met, we saw friends, family, ancestors, mostly strangers. I saw my great-grandfather, he’s been dead for thirty years.

Cyclops

What’d he tell you?

Del

It’s eternity in there.

The phone rings and we are put in a room that has a table and it looks like a room that you’d see in a military meeting. Have Lieutenant Maddux walk in stage left. Begin the dialogue by picking up the phone, making sure that we have a voice effect that sounds like the person that could be someone on the phone.

Unknown voice.

Mr President, Mr President can you hear me?

Unknown voice 2.

HELLO.

Unknown voice 1

I can hear you just fine but can you hear me?

 The President

Jules Archibald.

Well of course you can’t see me this is a telephone call.

Jules Archibald

Look I’m calling becau-

The President.

How’s the respawn machine going?

Jules Archibald.

Well, it works, we’ve had a few comebacks but that’s the problem. We’ve lost about about 90% of the test subjects.

The president

WHAT?

Jules Archibald

But the good news is that we found about 10 of them that have survived.

Have the sound of a gunshot play.

Jules Archibald

Wait one moment sir. What is going on… He shoots himself* and throws him into the pit with the others.

The President

You promised me an unkillable army, Archibald.

Jules Archibald.

Well, finding soldiers is not that easy we had them sign the contracts throughout America to see if it could work. And only 9 have survived… Look sir I must be going now, but what do you want us to do with you, we have about 800,000 corpses on the sight and we’re not sure what to do with them.

Have the light shine on this map behind Lieutenant Maddux and then we see this big red mark on Texas at the shore of the sea and this will indicate where the bodies go. Have this screechy violin music that isn’t loud but isn’t too quiet play in the background as this is shown.

The president

Burn anything that has me associated with this, if I’m found that I’ve been working with you the mayor of Texas. Who has committed mass genocide, could ruin my reputation.

Jules Archibald

Alright… have a good day sir.

Have the sound of banging on a metal door play in the background, have the lights turn on and now this is where we see Lieutenant Maddux and Cyclops laying there and get up.

Unknown  voice

Hello someone help me.

Now have the banging stop and have the sounds of footsteps that will be made by the sound of a bass drum just light little taps not hard taps. And then have the metal door by them fall. Make sure to have the light shine. On that. To reveal a very tall man we see wearing a mask and having a black hat on his head, that wears black pants and dress shoes, make sure to have this kind of black suit on him and make sure that you(Mike) breathe heavily in the mask and when you say you’re line have it deep and in this kind of grunt when you say it.

Mike turn your head when he pretends to hit you with the crowbar, and make sure to play a clanging sound when it hits Mike's face. And then grab Josh by the head with both hands as if you try to squish his head. And then pull Josh up with the wire. Just make sure to raise him too high.

Lieutenant Maddux

Then the wires pull him/Boris up and then Boris grabs him, that’s when the wires should pull Boris up. And then pretend to stab Mike in the eye. And then Mike presses the mask to have the fake blood come out. Look at your hand then grunt.

And then have the sound of an elevator door closing, and then have the sound of an elevator running by playing these beeps sounds by the dings.
