ERNIE'S SCREENPLAYS

SYNOPSIS

In Episode One - Destiny Masters dies. Her restless spirit won't rest until those responsible for her brother's kidnapping, molestation, and death, are captured and behind bars.

Upon her death by a lightning bolt, Destiny received supernatural powers, but powers she could not use herself, when it came to finding her brother's killers. She finds, however, that she can transfer these powers to others, so she picks her elite team of super-sleuths carefully, giving them just enough of a woman's curiosity to ascertain their desire to be a part of this elite band and group.

Danielle Dee - a seventeen year old red-head, never held a guitar before Destiny entered her life. Now she's being asked to be the lead guitarist and leader of

Destiny's elite band, Destiny's Desire.

Dana Kay - another seventeen year old, never sang before, outside of her bathroom, and through Destiny she now has the voice of an angel.

Lisa Mack - a third seventeen year old, has played the bass guitar as a sophmore in high school, but never to the level of a rock star. With Destiny's help she's a master on the bass and doesn't miss a beat.

Wendy Parks, the only eighteen year old, has been to many rock concerts with her brother, at the Boston Garden, but she'd never sat behind a set of drums before Destiny came to her in a dream. With Destiny's assist she has the fastest hands on the toms.

With her band Destiny's Desire all together, it's time for Destiny to inform her elite group what their instruments can do, other than for the purpose for which they were designed. It's also a time for them to know what Destiny's Desire stands for, and what their role will be.

EXT. BALLPARK - MAY 14TH 1983 - DAY

A MAN IN HIS THIRTIES - sitting on the bottom row of bleachers with a child’s baseball glove beside him.

A WHITE FORD VAN sits beside the park, against the curb, running, with the side door open and the driver behind the wheel.

a seven-year-old returns to the park to find his glove and heads to the bleachers. Seeing a man in the bottom row, he stops.

JOSH Hey mister! Did ya see a ball glove laying around? When I left with my friends I forgot to take it with me.

The man looks at the boy, grabs the glove beside him and shows it to him.

A MAN       (smiling) You mean this one?

JOSH Yeah, that’s it! Thanks!

The man stands and places his hand on the boy’s shoulders.

A MAN Hey, no problem, kid. I’m leaving anyway so I’ll walk to the van with you.

They approach the van and the man looks around. He reaches down and scoops the boy up in his arms and shoves him inside the van, slamming the door shut behind him. The van pulls away from the curb with wheels screeching and Josh screaming in the back, while the man holds him down.

His CB radio call brought the State Police to the scene within minutes. The boy has been missing since Sunday, April 30th, when he returned to the Elm Street Park to retrieve a baseball glove he’d left behind, and he hasn’t been heard from since.

The exact cause of death is not known. Several suspects have been brought in for questioning and were released. The boy’s parents and sister have been ruled out as suspects in Josh’s disappearance.
