INT. A CAVE

Close-up of DEWOTT's face. Her eyes are closed and she is lying on the stone ground. We hear the faint sound of a waterfall in the background.

??? (O.S.)

Dewott.

Dewott stirs.

??? (O.S.)

(Firmly)

Dewott.

A wide ANGLE.

Dewott opens her eyes and urgently stands up. She begins to look frantically in every direction. She is standing in a cave. At the edge of the cavern there is a hole in the ground and a waterfall falling through it.

CLOSE-UP.

??? (O.S.)

You're finally awake.

DEWOTT

W-who's there?

The camera pans to the left. We come face-to-face with URSHIFU.

A WIDE ANGLE.

Urshifu takes a step towards Dewott. Dewott cautiously steps back.

URSHIFU

My name is—

DEWOTT

W-where am I? Where's Sam?

URSHIFU

(Sighs)

All will be explained in due time.

DEWOTT

I asked you: Where am I?

URSHIFU

We took you from your home so that—

Dewott steps back and draws her scalchops.

DEWOTT

You took me from my home?!

URSHIFU

Dewott, you must listen to what I have to say!

Dewott points her right scalchop at Urshifu.

DEWOTT

I'm not afraid to use these.

URSHIFU

The recruits never are. Have them fists, blades, or magic... They always think violence is the answer.

DEWOTT

Whaddaya mean "recruits"?

URSHIFU

For the community.

DEWOTT

What community?! Is Sam part of this community, because if so—

URSHIFU

Silence.

Dewott glares suspiciously at Urshifu.

URSHIFU

I understand that you don't know who I am. However, you still need to comply with my orders or you will experience a painful... end.

Dewott resists arguing back. She's starting to fear Urshifu.

URSHIFU

I don't like giving threats like that.

DEWOTT

Well fortunately I do so—

URSHIFU

Go down the waterfall, Dewott.
