INT: Some Final Showdown with {BOSS VILLAIN HERE}, Probably in the Unlocked Throne Room 202212251336
Male Lead:
You killed my brother! I can't forgive you for that, {BOSS VILLAIN HERE}, you murderer!!
Villain:
Haha, I…wait, are you serious?
Male Lead:
Serious about what?
Villain:
Well, I just think it's a bit ironic to call me a murderer like you aren't a murderer.
Male Lead:
I -- wha -- no, no I'm not, I'm not a murderer
Villain:
My guy, you killed 15 of my mercenaries on your way into this very room. Look -- you literally just shoved one of my lackies of the cliff onto that bed of wooden spikes.
camera pans to lackey impaled by spikes
Male Lead:
Well, I mean, yeah, but -- but they're mercenaries! They're hired killers!
Villain:
Do you … do you think that because someone is a mercenary they can't be murdered?
Male Lead:
I well, no, I mean … I guess I hadn't really thought about it before.
Villain:
Dave.
Male Lead:
What?
Villain:
Dave. The lackey -- the one you just pushed off the cliff? His name was Dave. He has two daughters at home.
Male Lead:
Oh, oh -- oh my god.
Villain:
Yeah.
Male Lead:
But -- but you we're just going to take this treasure and use it for nefarious ends, so I'm still fighting for the innocent!
Villain:
Oh, and what were you planning to do with the money?
Male Lead:
Sorry, what?
Villain:
I said, what are you planning on using the money on, Mr. High Horse?
Male Lead:
Well, I uh … I guess I was going to take it, and sell it on … on the black market? I … I don't know, I usually don't think much outside of witty one liners.
Villain:
So it's worse, you don't even have a goal for the money? You're just here for the thrill of the hunt. You killed Dave for the thrill of the hunt. That makes you a bad person, do you see what I'm saying?
Male Lead:
But -- but I was hired to solve the mystery. This unsolvable 500 year old mystery!
Villain:
Congratulations, so you are an escape room veteran who midnights as a murderer. That is literally the worst combination of skills a person could have.
Dave:
sputters blood, coughs
Male Lead:
panics
AHH!
takes out pistol and shoots at Dave
