[Night. We see a cruise ship, its lights blazing into the night. Passengers and crew are on deck.]
FROHIKE [VO]:
[Langly is dressed in a very colorful shirt and white trousers. He's standing against the ship's rail. He has a tall glass with fruit, umbrella, drinking straw.]
LANGLY:
[Dancers are leaving a stage. Frohike is in the wings, wearing blue coveralls and black beret. He's distracted by the dancers.]
BYERS:
[One of the dancers turns, smiles and winks at Frohike.]

FROHIKE:
[Langly sees a man come out of a room onto the deck. He's wearing a white spangly suit.]
LANGLY:
[Frohike takes off his beret.]
FROHIKE:
[Byers, wearing blue coveralls and a baseball hat backwards, nods.]
[We see, from the back, the man in the spangly suit - looks like Elvis, walking down a corridor.]
[We hear an MC saying: - the greatest rock and roll star of all time - his gyrating hips changed the course of music. - known and loved the world over.' The man walks past Frohike and passes a mirror. He stops, goes back, looks at himself, checks his dark glasses then his collar, looks left and right, dips down to his left, stands up, peers closely. We have been watching the mirror image - a young man - then we see a direct view of the man - much older. The Mirror-Man raises his glasses and we see it's Jimmy.]
JIMMY:
[Elvis's look-a-like is injected with a dart gun. He falls to the ground and Jimmy steps out of the false mirror. Byers and Frohike go to lift the unconscious man.]
MC [VO]:
[Jimmy/Elvis runs on to the stage to cheers and applause. He starts singing: 'You ain't nothing but a hound dog.' The audience is clapping along. Langly is in the audience, still holding his drink.]
LANGLY [to radio]:
[Byers and Frohike have moved the unconscious man behind some curtains.]
FROHIKE:
[As Jimmy's singing continues in the background, Frohike presses the man's fingers on to a scanner. Frohike then raises his hand, rubbing his fingers against this thumb, looking puzzled.]
LANGLY [into radio]:
[Byers is wiping make-up off the man's face - underneath his skin is dark.]
FROHIKE:

BOTH:
[They rush off. Jimmy is still singing. Two men sitting at a table next to the stage look very suspicious. Jimmy finishes his song. The two men get up, one holding an ID, the other holding handcuffs.]
MAN 1:
[They take Jimmy off in handcuffs.]
JIMMY [to audience]:
[Fade to black.]
[The Lone Gunman offices. Wee see the latest copy of 'The Lone Gunman', the headline is 'MARSHALS NAB 'ELVIS' EMBEZZLER'. The picture is of the African American.]

JIMMY:
BYERS:

JIMMY:
[Byers walks up to the bars of his cell. The wall between the cells is solid so Byers and Jimmy can only see the cells on the opposite side of the block. Across from them is another inmate, Spike. He is searching his cell then outside by means of a mirror.]
