INT-ATU-MORNING

24-preview-offices.png

As crews are cleaning up the mess and dead bodies Phil and David Jester are sitting in the surprisingly intact conference room with Frank Almedia, Buck Bunkuer and Mail Dude. Buck gets up out of his chair and paces around the room as he looks over at the wall of TV’s that all are off

 

Buck

Why are these off? I feel that they should be on and turned to drone footage, special ops head cams and maybe just maybe a respectable news agency

 

Frank

I think we are trying to conserve power. We got in trouble last month for using too much.

 

Buck looks out the windows at the devastation inside the ATU offices

 

Buck

Something tells me that we won’t be using too much today

 

Phil

OMG

 

David looks at Phil

 

David

Did you just say OMG instead of oh my god

 

Phil

Yeah, I thought it would be cool and quicker than saying oh my god bt having this conversation has made it a waste of time and now…

 

Phil looks at everyone else in the room that now looking at them

 

Phil

They are looking at us like we are crazy

 

Buck shakes off the dumb conversation

 

Buck

Before we go any further, I must know one thing

 

Frank

Which is?

 

Buck points at Mail Dude

 

Buck

Who is this man and why is he here?... oh and why is he so quite? It’s a bit suspicious

 

Frank

That’s… uh… I don’t know his name but we call him Mail Dude because well… he delivers the mail.

 

Buck

Why is he here?

 

Frank

He works here

 

Buck

Yeah in the building but he has no meaning in this meeting. He should go back to his job and let the big boys figure out how to stop these fucking terrorist

 

Frank

Everyone else is dead, there is no one else he can deliver mail to

 

Buck

Not my problem, then fire him for not doing his job

 

Frank

I cannot do that, besides he was the one that delivered the bomb. I think once he regains the ability to speak he will want to talk to a shrink. You know because a parcel he delivered killed so many people

 

Mail bursts into tears

 

Frank

It will be ok

 

Frank taps him on the back as Buck gets mad and slams his fists down onto the table

 

Buck

NO IT WILL NOT! Don’t you fools see what’s going on here?

 

Phil and David look at each other in confusion

 

Phil

No… we don’t but did he just call us fools?

 

David

Yeah, uh huh Phil I think he did. I’m sure he just called us fools

 

Buck

SHUT UP! ALL OF YOU! JUST SHUT UP!

 

Buck storms around the very long conference room table and grabs Mail Dude

 

Buck

This man right here is a terrorist

 

Frank

A terrorist? Come on that’s reaching at best

 

Buck

Is it? Think about it. The phrase “going postal” is because mail fucks go crazy and kill people. This man delivers a bomb to you guys today and you think oh that’s normal? Don’t you think maybe just maybe he had enough of delivering the mail and taking out the trash…

 

Buck has a flashback of being a trash man but after a few seconds he shakes it off.

 

Buck

That he went to a terrorist group and told him that he will deliver a deadly bomb to ATU?

 

Frank

First off you cannot just find the number for a terrorist group in the phonebook. The amount of effort it would take to find a group and tell them oh I want to blow up my work and get them to go with it is just insane

 

Buck

Insane? You think a terrorist group would turn down a chance to blow up an anti-terrorist organization? Come on, are you that dumb?

 

Frank

First off don’t call me dumb, I don’t appreciate that at all. Secondly all I am saying is if we go with this “gone postal” idea we should probably chalk it up to being a lone gunman type thing. He clearly did it because he was disgruntled and mad.

 

Buck

Probably is not sure. Do I have permission to interrogate this man with all means necessary?

 

Frank looks around

 

Frank

You talking to me?

 

Buck

Um… who else?

 

Frank

I’m not in charge

 

Buck

Then who is?

 

Frank

You mean you don’t know who is in charge? Are you an agent?

 

Buck

I am, I was deep undercover for years so I wasn’t sure if there was a management change

 

Frank

Well

Higgins died in the blast… even though we have not found his body. So we need to appoint the new leader of the ATU

 

Buck

Well the only way we can do that is through a vote since we are a democratic country and we hold elections. If we stop that then we let terrorist scum like this man (points at Mail Dude) win

 

Frank

Ok let’s have a vote

 

INT-WAREHOUSE-MORNING

Alec Dwyer is sending a truck off as he is on the phone with someone

 

Alec

It’s on its way, they will never see it coming

 

Alec hangs up as Angelo Molholt walks up to him

 

Angelo

His plane landed

 

Alec

Perfect, he should get her just before everything happens

 

Angelo

Meanwhile the idiots at ATU, if anyone survived will never see this coming

 

Alec and Angelo walk into the office and turn on a TV that is on the wall

 

Alec

I doubt anyone survived that blast

 

INT-ATU-MORNING

Frank is counting the votes as Buck is now pacing around the room while holding Mail Dude in a sleeper hold

 

Frank

Okay… the new acting leader at ATU is… where’s the drum roll?

 

Buck looks around

Buck

What? Who’s that?

 

Frank

No I want a drum roll

 

Phil and David make a drum roll on the table with their hands

 

Frank

That’s better… anyways the new acting leader is Phil the thrill Jester

 

Buck looks around the room not knowing who is who. He points at David

 

Buck

Him?

 

Phil

No that’s David

 

Buck

Then who the fuck is Phil?

 

Phil

I am Phil, Phil is I

 

Buck

Can I interrogate this man?

 

Phil

No you can’t, that is actually impossible for you to do

 

Buck

Are you doubting my interrogation technique?

 

Phil

No I’m not, it’s more like he lost the ability to speak from the blast so no matter how many questions you ask him, you will not get any answers

 

Buck

Can we get a sign language expert in here?

 

David

I’m one

 

Buck

Good then come with me and we will get this son of a bitch talking… or signing

 

INT-WAREHOUSE-MORNING

Angelo and Alec are watching the news that the headline now reads “Surviving ATU agents hard at work”

 

Angelo

What do we do about this?

 

Alec

Do we have someone on the inside?

 

Angelo

No, he was killed in the blast as far as I know

 

Alec

Can we send Ken the cleaner?

 

Angelo

Why? So he can help them clean the place up so they can find us?

 

Alec

No you buffoon, not the actual cleaner. I am talking about Ken “The Cleaner”

 

Angelo

Ah yes, him. Let’s send him there posing as an agent that was on holiday. He will go there and poison him whatever he does best

 

Alec

Get a hold of him and get the credentials ready

 

INT-ATU-MORNING

David is in the interrogation room trying to teach Mail Dude sign language. While Buck watches from behind one way glass

 

David

I can’t do it, it’s literally impossible to teach someone sign language in the span of a few minutes. This isn’t the movies

 

Buck comes on the intercom

 

Buck

I am aware what this is and isn’t. I am the highly trained agent here not you

 

David

If you were so well trained you would know just how stupid this is

 

Buck

Okay… Then get me a pad and pencil or pen or a knife I have an idea

 

INT-WAREHOUSE-MORNING

Both Alec and Angelo are on the phone as they pace around the office. They both get off their phone calls at the same time

 

Angelo

Ken says he can be at ATU in thirty minutes. Can we have the credentials ready in hardcopy and on their database in that time?

 

Alec

Shouldn’t be a problem

 

Angelo

Good

 

Alec

It is good

 

Angelo

I don’t need you confirming that it’s good. You are not my boss

 

Alec

Look, I’ve just about had enough of you questioning everything I do. I am the number two so you answer to me. Me saying it is good was just agreeing with you

 

Angelo laughs

 

Angelo

Yeah you are a number two

 

Alec

Damn right

 

Angelo

No, no you are A NUMBER TWO

 

Alec thinks about it

 

Alec

God damn it

 

INT-ATU-MORNING

Buck storms into the room with Fre who is carrying a briefcase

 

David

Who is this?

 

Buck

This is special consultant Fre Elmo, but I call him Elmo

 

David laughs a bit

 

David

What’s in the briefcase? Hs red fur outfit?

 

The look on Buck’s face turns serious

 

Buck

You don’t want to know what’s in that briefcase. Let’s just say Mr. Mail Dude will be talking very soon

 

David

Oh so you got like water or medication? That will make his vocal cords work?

 

Buck

All you need to know that within the hour we will have all the information that we need. ALL OF IT!

 

Buck slams both fist down on the table and looks intensely at Mail Dude

 

Buck

Won’t we Mr. Mail Dude? If that’s really your real name

 

David

It’s not

 

Buck

Shut up

 

The episode fades to black
