1.)
(A copy of the Harlan Observator has a picture of Jack with his digital CatCat disguise leading a riot.)
NEWSPAPER: RIOTS IN HARLAN! Is ABM Hacker the mastermind? Police ashamed - vow justice.
2.)
(Two white policemen question the Punk Rock Haberdasher,
one brunette and one blonde. He describes Jack and Darren.)
PRHD: Mm... Two white fellows,
a brunette and a
blonde...
BRUNETTE COP: And...? Yup.
We’ll get ‘em
now.
3.)
(The police lead handcuffed Mildred down the courthouse steps, her
public defender waves away cameras and microphones crowd in.)
MILDRED: The end is nigh,
motherfuckers!
Global
chaos!
4.)
(At The Masher offices, Hans and Ingenue accost Karl as he comes through the door, coffee in hand.)
HANS:I’d ask how your date went,
but while the potential of you
getting laid is quite newsworthy--
We’ve got some actual news news,
and it’s sooo our thing!
Catcat wore bondage gear
last night!
5.)
(We see a black and white image of a potential Masher article, CatCat Jack is posing with two anarchists,
who flash peace signs for the camera. In the background is riots and fire, below the image a headline.)
HANS?: Like my
mockup?
HEADLINE: CATCAT: SEX PERVERT! A look into the seedy world of...
6.)
(Karl's eyes are wide in recognition of Jack's outfit from last night. He doesn't say anything, drinking his "Harlan's Best" espresso.)
HANS: (from off panel) I’ve got connections
in the community. We want you
to ‘go deep,’
at least it’ll
be funny.
INGENUE: (from off panel) ‘Go deep’
Haha..
Nice.
HANS: ‘Prude goes to
bondage club’
I can see the
headlines now!
Right? I mean,
we could make it
a headline.
Literally.

(Intense Karl forgot to take off his jacket, and stares at the notes and images on his desk.)
KARL: (thinks) That outfit...!
Is it really you? But, how?
8.)
(Photographs of CatCat include little notes, the last in a different handwriting...)
ARROWS: Brown hair, profile, nice tits
9.)
(Karl yells as Hans, who pulls a "Who, me?" face. Hans is wearing a shirt advertising his "Don't Be Sad" project.)
KARL: Stop writing on my shit,
Hans!
HANS: I’m an artist,
I can’t help it.
10.)
(Back to his contemplation, Karl's eyes are wide with excitement at the mind-boggling situation. Possibly some other feelings too...)
KARL: (thinks)What the hell
Jack...!
11.)
(Jack wakes up badly, GlenMark bills stuck to his body, eyes lopsided.)
DOORBELL: BING!
12.)
(Inside Jack's apartment, he goes to answer the door wearing only red long underwear.
In the foreground, sleepy Darren gestures vaguely with a semi-automatic pistol and mutters.)
DARREN: geh’mee up
ifitza clown.
13.)
(Jack looks disturbed at the peephole view of the hall.)
JACK: Aw hell

14.)
(In the peephole view, we see a very bright-eyed Theodore eagerly waiting.)
DARREN: Izzit a
clown?
JACK: Not exactly...
I guess.
