At that moment, Junior calls out to Pronto, Jam Down and Kucklins.


            (Junior) Dis one here is Machista. Buck him down with the herbs and rose

            oil. (They throw the oil on him and he changes form to an Owl and
            flies away). (Pronto) How did you know Machista would of come out in
            the shape of your friend? Simple, you. Born love to say “serious ting”

            and dis one didn’t say it. (Pause). (Kucklins) Let’s go get our boy. (They
            run  back  to  the  cave  and  find  Born  tied  up  but  still  alive).  (Jam

            Down) Come on, before the Duppy come back.

                     Ben, Yoshi and the CNN crew going to look for Machista.

            (Ben)  Yoshi,  let  me  drive.  I  know  where  to  find  him.  (Yoshi)  When  we
            find him, will you be able to kill him? (Ben) I think so, or we won’t live to

            tell the story this time. (Ben looks at them all). (CNN Reporter) Look,
            ghost or no ghost, I have a story to finish, so let’s go kick some more

            ghost ass or something.


               Switch to the Indians talking with some of the Japanese soldiers.


            (Indian Soldier) I’m sorry, we should never have sold our land. (Japanese
            Soldier) No it is we who should be sorry. We Japanese also know what
            It’s like to fight for your land and pride  – somehow we have forgotten

            the very thing that brought us glory. (Pause). Respect and pride.


            They  shake  hands.  At  that  moment,  the  word  was  spread  that
            Hiroshima  II  was  given  back  to  the  Indians.  Everyone  starts  to

            cheer.


                           Back to Ben and the group going to the old mine.

            (Ben)  We’ll  wait  here.  He’s  hurt  and  he’ll  be  back.  I  know  it.  (CNN

            Reporter) What should we do to help? (Ben) Try to live. (Pointing to an
            open area). Set up over there.


                              Pronto and Junior and Hex walk up to them.
