SILVERMAN

It's yours now. Jordan stands still in shock and before he could utter another word, Silver man disappears into a dense slow moving fog. Jordan looks down into his hands and stares from the keys to the ship. INT/EXT. ON THE DECK OF THE YACHT Jordan walks to the steering wheel and starts up the engine. He takes off out of the bay and enters the open ocean. He continues until there is nothing around him for all directions. As he glides across the open ocean he suddenly hears a loud crash. He looked down to see the bottom fill with water. The entire luxurious interior begins to flood with seawater. Jordan's life flashes before his eyes as he comes to realize Ashley and Mexican food no longer mattered in the scheme of the universe let alone his own life. EXT. WATER Jordan regains consciousness only to find himself floating on a piece of drift wood. He looks around and can tell he is roughly sixty miles away from shore. Jordan begins to feel an intensely primal need to survive. FADE TO: INT. HOUSE BECK Where have you been?

JORDAN I went away for a bit to clear my mind. BECK No kidding. JORDAN Hey let's go do something.
