The scene opens on a wide shot of a movie set, several low buildings lined with palm trees. At the end of a long walkway, a Pelican lands on a landing pad, and a red-armored crew member walks up to meet the passengers as they disembark.

GEORGE: Greetings! Agents Carolina and Washington! The Director is expecting you.

George leads Wash and Carolina inside.

GEORGE: Dear Director is in the middle of a very important meeting. However, I was told to let you right in.

He leads Wash and Carolina into a room where Jax is arguing with Kohan. Another crew member in white armor stands beside Jax, holding a rocket launcher.

JAX: You know how I feel about that word! Nothing is impossible!

KOHAN: Okay, it's not impossible, but... launching a camera on a rocket towards human actors is... it's extremely dangerous and probably won't even work.

JAX: [Laughs.] I'm not an idiot! I know it probably won't work. But that just means we have to do a lot of takes! It may take weeks.

KOHAN: We can't! We can't. Dear sweet Jesus, my chest. We can't-- [Collapses to the floor coughing and choking.]

JAX: We'll cram it in right before we re-shoot the first act. There's a defibrillator in the hallway, Kohan. Or do you need me to do that for you, as well?

GEORGE: Pardon me... ah... you have guests, sir.

JAX: IF THEY'RE FROM THE STUDIO, YOU CAN TELL THEM TO WAIT IN THE FUCKING TRASH COMPA—oh hey, it's Carolina and Washington! How the hell are you guys? How's the neck, Wash?

WASH: It's okay.

JAX: Oh, I'm so psyched you guys are here! Let me give you the grand tour.

KOHAN: [Still on the floor.] No... more... tours... we need... to shoot scenes...

Cut to Jax leading Carolina and Wash around the set.

JAX: Pretty incredible, isn't it? I had them recreate this place down to the very last detail.

CAROLINA: It's... uncanny.

WASH: We spent a lot of time here?

JAX: You don't remember? How does that even--

CAROLINA: How's the shoot going?

JAX: Well, we've had fires, sabotage, actors dying in strange circumstances, food shortages, paranormal activity, union strikes, lawsuits—in short, amazing!

CAROLINA: Are you being sarcastic?

JAX: No! See, the best movies have the most tortured productions. And this has been the most tortured production of all time! Ergo, this is going to be the best movie of all time!

Carolina and Wash exchange a look.

WASH: Makes... sense.

JAX: Oh! This way. You guys are gonna love this.

Cut to a horrifically accurate recreation of Temple's trophy room, complete with actors in the armor of the ten dead Freelancers.

JAX: Nice, huh?

CAROLINA: Uh... certainly gives me the chills.

WASH: This your suit storage, or what?

JAX: Whoa—you don't remember this?
