1.)

(Vitus drives Sombreta. He is distracted by the telepathic calls from Jack, the effort of driving, and pretending to pay attention to Angela.)

ANGELA: Poor Gaston-Louis, he has surely been tricked into hating me.

JACK: (Telepathically) VITUS COME VITUS COME TO ME

VITUS: Mmhm.

ANGELA: Why would anyone hate me? I don't understand it. I never do anything bad, right?

2.)

(Elsewhere, Minchin's face leers.)

MINCHIN: HAHAHA...

3.)

(Jack flees from Minchin, looking over his shoulder. Minchin speaks from off-panel.)

MINCHIN: Hide-and-go-seek? I love games!

4.)

(With a hissing noise, Minchin's head and shoulders emerge from a wall in front of startled Jack.)

MINCHIN: I believe I said, "Knock-knock."

5.)

(Terrified by Minchin's limbs magically grabbing at him from all directions, Jack transforms into a bird.)

6.)

(Jack is a startled-looking bird.)

JACK: (Thinks) What! How did I--

7.)

(Jack discovers he can't seem to fly, falling on the ground. Minchin stands nearby, mocking.)

MINCHIN: How many Southenders does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Well?

8.)

(Jack flaps around on the asphalt, letting out a sad desperate bird cry. Minchin's gloved clown hands reach out of the ground for him.)

MINCHIN: You've got no sense of humor.

9.)

(Jack's car sits abandoned in the middle of the road with the door open. Vitus and Angela talk from off-panel.)

VITUS: That's Jack's car!

ANGELA: What a silly place to park it.

10.)

(Vitus looks upset.)

VITUS: ...He stopped calling...!

11.)

(Vitus gets out of the car.)

VITUS: Oh Jack...

12.)

(Vitus looks for Jack and Angela follows.)

VITUS: I think-- I think down here!

13.)

(Vitus advances on a pile of small boxes while Angela cowers behind.)

ANGELA: No, I don't think so. I don't think he's here. We should go home now. He's just fine, I'm sure.

14.)

(Vitus finds bird Jack under a box with his eyes squeezed shut. Angela looks nervous, far behind.)

ANGELA: Probably just lost his keys. He's too needy, that one.

VITUS: There you are.

15.)

(Vitus cradles bird Jack in his hands.)

VITUS: I didn't know you could do this trick.

16.)

VITUS: Learned it without me eh--

(The bird interrupts him, turning into collapsing human Jack. Vitus looks alarmed.)

17.)

(Vitus tries to help Jack, who is shaking with fear and incoherent, while Angela has her arms folded in the background.)

VITUS: Jack! What’s wrong? What happened?

JACK: Minchin get me I-I don't know

18.)

(Wide-eyed Jack tries to explain to Vitus.)

VITUS: Please! Explain. What are you talking about?

JACK: Minchin-- S-serial killer.. He was chasing me, I couldn't get away!

19.)

(Jack's memory depicted, the clown Minchin menacing him.)

JACK: I mean I-I thought.. but it can't be-- I just c-closed my eyes but he didn't go away...

20.)

(Vitus looks back at Sombreta, annoyed at her indifference.)

JACK: I thought you would save me!
