EXT. Public Square. Two men get off the boat and one has his arm in a sling.

OLD GUY: I am Peter Wilks’s brother, Harvey. Peters other brother, William cannot talk or hear and he broke his arm so he can’t sign. KING: LIAR! HARVEY: How did you get here? KING: I came on the //Susan Powell// fromCincinnati. HARVEY: You were riding along the Pint in a canoe with Tim Collins and a kid! DOCTOR: Is it that kid? //(Points to Huck)// HARVEY: Yeah! INT. Hotel Room DOCTOR: Well, I do not know who is telling the truth, but I don’t want the money with either of them until we know. KING: I don’t have the money, someone stole it! DOCTOR: Kid, did you see it stolen? HUCK: I saw them running away, but I thought they were scared they woke the master up and didn’t want to get in trouble. //(Silent Supper lawyer enters. Lawyer and King talk quietly to one another.)// LAWYER: I'll take your order and send it along with your brothers so they will know it's alright. //(KING and DUKE writing)// LAWYER: Okay, now you and your brother write a few sentences and sign your names //(Harvey writes. Lawyer pulls out old letters from Harvey and William)// LAWYER: Well, these two handwritings don’t look like these letters and this mans handwriting isn’t even eligible. HARVEY: Well, my brother wrote our letters, and now he has a broken arm so he can’t show you. Look! They are by the same hand. LAWYER: I believe it is so. At least I think so. But I do know now that these two men //(points to the king and duke)// are not Peter’s brothers. KING: Well, it’s not fair because my brother was just kidding; he wasn’t trying to write- HARVEY: I’ve thought of something. What was tattooed on my brother’s chest? KING: It is a small thin blue arrow. HARVEY: Wrong! It is a dim P and a B and a W.   TOWNSPEOPLE: THEY ARE ALL FRAUDS! DROWN THEM ALL!! LAWYER: Let us go dig up the corpses and figure it out for ourselves! //(Go to graveyard and dig out the body, find the gold on Peter’s chest. Huck runs away)// HUCK: JIM! Wake up! They are gone! We can leave! (//They started to leave but the King and Duke comes running and jumps on the raft. King grabs Huck)// KING: Are you trying to leave us? What were you doing? HUCK: No! I was afraid they would hang me! DUKE: Let the boy go! Did you worry about him when you got loose? //(King lets go)// Now why did you go and hide the money? KING: Now, why are you going and accusing me of stealing the money! You probably did it   Duck starts choking King DUKE: ADMIT YOU STOLE THE MONEY! KING: Fine! I stole it! Now let me go! //(they got drunk and joked around.)//
