SCENE
7 - THE STOWAWAY REVEALED
EXT.
GREAT GLEN - DAWN
The
first pale rays of morning creep over the jagged Highland peaks. Frost
clings to the windows of RHONA’S COTTAGE, glittering like a thousand
tiny diamonds.
A soft, distant SNORING drifts from inside — deep, rumbling, and
unmistakably belonging to TIM
WATSON.
INT. RHONA’S COTTAGE – UPSTAIRS HALLWAY – CONTINUOUS
MARION
WATSON slips out of bed, feet sinking into plush, fur-lined slippers,
a Christmas
gift. She wraps herself in a fluffy dressing gown that looks like it was
knitted from clouds.
She glides down the hallway, serene — until she steps on a single,
ancient floorboard.
CREAK.
INT. JIMMY’S ROOM – SAME MOMENT
JIMMY’S eyes snap open instantly — alert, sharp, almost electrified.
Solar
Cola still hums through his veins like bottled sunlight.
He scrambles to the window and taps his watch.
JIMMY (whispering)
How was the night, Maximus?
His watch vibrates.
ANTHONY (V.O., polite, metallic)
Impervious to the Highland chill. Energy at forty-two percent.
I require a solar
top-up, but the local star is currently obstructed by a cloud shaped like
a sheep.
Jimmy grins despite himself.
INT. KITCHEN – MOMENTS LATER
RHONA
MACLEOD is already up, bright-eyed, stirring porridge like a witch
brewing something important.
Jimmy bounds in, hugging Marion as he enters.
JIMMY
Morning, Mum! Morning, Rhona!
He turns to Rhona, trying to sound casual — and failing.
JIMMY
So… about those grainy pictures. Anything… big?
Rhona sighs, leading him toward her lab.
RHONA
I wish, Jimmy. But the skeptics say my pings are gas bubbles or shoals of fish.
EXT. DRIVEWAY – SAME TIME
Marion steps outside into crisp Highland air. She reaches up to the roof
of MISS
OCEAN, grabbing the edge of a heavy yellow tarpaulin.
MARION
Right… come here, you stubborn thing.
She yanks the tarp back.
ON THE ROOF – CONTINUOUS
ANTHONY, hidden beneath the tarp, instantly dials his camouflage
to maximum.
The tarp hangs over… nothing.
Or rather — something invisible, shimmering like a heat haze.
Marion blinks.
MARION (whispering)
That’s not possible…
She reaches out.
CLUNK.
Her knuckles hit solid carbon-fibre.
She yelps, recoiling.
MARION
Jimmy… Jimmy Watson!
ON THE ROOF – CONTINUOUS
Anthony realises the game is up.
He drops the cloak.
The shimmering air
collapses into the sleek, blue-and-silver form of a DINOBOT.
ANTHONY (polite bow)
Hello, Mrs Watson.
How are you today?
Your slippers appear very efficient.
Marion points at the ground like Professor McGonagall catching a student
out of bed.
MARION
Down. Now.
Then she bellows:
MARION
JIMMY! JIMMY!
INT. RHONA’S COTTAGE – TIM’S ROOM – SAME TIME
TIM jolts awake, hair wild, dressing gown askew.
TIM
What’s the hubbub? Is the VW
okay?
He stumbles outside — sees Anthony — freezes.
TIM
Oh cripes. He’s for it now.
EXT. DRIVEWAY – CONTINUOUS
Jimmy and Rhona rush out. Jimmy sees Marion’s face and goes pale.
JIMMY
Sorry, Mum…
MARION (furious)
SORRY?
Where’s the trust, Jimmy?
You smuggled a… a military-grade robot project on a family holiday!
Tim tries to look stern but fails spectacularly.
Rhona, meanwhile, looks like she’s been hit by a bolt of magical
lightning.
RHONA
Jimmy… what… who is this? Who is Anthony?
Marion jumps in.
MARION
You know Jimmy’s robot
project? The one we mentioned?
Rhona nods — then Anthony flicks his cloak off again.
Rhona performs a perfect Highland vertical jump without moving her feet.
TIM (cheering)
Good jump, Rhona!
CLOSER – JIMMY AND ANTHONY
Jimmy steps forward, serious now.
JIMMY
This is Anthony, Rhona.
And I know I broke the rules…
but you have to listen.
He looks at his parents.
JIMMY
Anthony isn’t just a project.
He’s a walking sensor.
And last night… he picked up a signature in the Loch.
Tim’s General voice returns.
TIM
Jimmy, no tall tales. Don’t use a legend to get out of trouble.
Jimmy gulps.
JIMMY
It’s not a tale.
Anthony — please.
Anthony steps forward, eyes glowing amber.
ANTHONY
Jimmy is on point, Mr Watson.
There is a large creature in the water.
Displacement: thirty to thirty-five tons.
Morphology: non-standard.
Tim smirks.
TIM
Good yarn, you two. Nearly had me.
Marion softens, pulling Jimmy into a one-armed hug.
MARION
Oh, come here, you little smuggler.
But Rhona isn’t smiling.
She’s staring at Anthony.
Then at the Loch.
Then back at Anthony.
Her mind is whirring like a Hogwarts clockwork contraption.
RHONA (breathless)
Wait… did you say thirty tons?
Anthony turns politely.
ANTHONY
Correct, Professor MacLeod.
Would you like to see the frequency response?
It was… a greeting.
Rhona gasps.
RHONA
He talks!
He talks... and he has better sonar than the Royal
Navy!
She grabs Jimmy by the shoulders.
RHONA
Jimmy — bring him inside.
We have work to do!
SCENE
8 - THE LOGIC OF LEGENDS,
SECRETS OF THE DEEP
INT.
RHONA’S LABORATORY – DAY
The laboratory hums with a strange, enchanting energy — a blend of
ancient stone walls and futuristic robotics. Copper pipes snake
along the ceiling like enchanted serpents. A faint blue glow pulses from a
cluster of hydrophones.
RHONA MACLEOD paces the room, hair slightly wild, eyes darting between her
framed certificates and the DINOBOT perched politely on a reinforced
stool.
RHONA
(whispering, incredulous)
I’ve spent two years calibrating those hydrophones, Jimmy…
and this metallic marvel of yours makes a positive identification in less
than twelve hours?
It’s enough to make a Professor take up knitting.
JIMMY WATSON sits cross-legged on the floor, adjusting his glasses with
the calm confidence of someone who builds miracles in his spare time.
JIMMY
It’s not your tech, Rhona.
Human sensors look for what humans
expect.
Anthony’s
different.
Rhona leans in, curiosity overpowering her shock.
RHONA
How exactly does he work?
Is he programmed with a search algorithm?
Jimmy shrugs — casual, almost embarrassed.
JIMMY
He’s AI.
Self-learning.
He doesn’t just process data — he understands context.
He filters out the noise.
RHONA
Meaning?
Jimmy looks up, voice softening.
JIMMY
Meaning… I’d rather he was considered a friend.
Rhona blinks, then nods quickly.
RHONA
Right. Your friend. Your companion.
JIMMY
And more.
He’s family.
INT. LABORATORY DOORWAY – CONTINUOUS
MARION and TIM stand in the doorway, watching with warm amusement.
MARION
Don’t let us stop you, Rhona.
She gives Jimmy a supportive wink — the kind that says you’re safe
now; your secret’s out.
Rhona turns to Marion, still baffled.
RHONA
How did a boy his age build something that belongs in a top‑secret research
facility?
Tim chuckles, leaning against the frame.
TIM
With a little help from us.
Jimmy shakes his head.
JIMMY
Not a little, Dad.
I was totally supported.
Anthony wouldn’t exist without Mum and Dad giving me time to fail until
I got it right.
Tim and Marion exchange a proud look.
But Tim’s military skepticism flickers.
TIM
Well… I’m still a “believe it when I see it” man.
Are we sure this isn’t a very sophisticated glitch?
Jimmy sits up straighter.
JIMMY
There is something out there, Dad. Honestly.
Rhona steps forward, voice firm.
RHONA
He’s right, Tim.
I’m somewhat of an expert on the subject.
Tim glances at her wall of PhDs and Marine
Biology honours.
TIM
I can see that, Professor MacLeod.
Marion crosses her arms, smiling.
MARION
Jimmy won’t say it, but he’s a programming genius.
And Anthony is self-aware.
If they say the signature is real, I’m betting my surfboard
on it.
Rhona turns back to Jimmy, eyes bright with hope.
RHONA
Will you help me, Jimmy?
Will you let Anthony show me what I’ve been missing?
Jimmy looks up toward the ceiling — toward the roof where Anthony had
been hiding.
JIMMY
How’s that with you, Anthony?
Anthony’s optical sensors pulse a friendly blue.
ANTHONY
I am here for the family, as always.
And I must admit…
this “Nessie”
variable is a most intriguing scientific puzzle.
I would be honored to assist, Professor.
Tim claps his hands together.
TIM
Right then!
We’ll leave you boffins to your secret meetings.
Marion and I are taking Miss
Ocean out to see the sights.
EXT. COTTAGE DRIVEWAY – MOMENTS LATER
The two‑tone blue
VW
KOMBI purrs to life.
Marion leans toward Tim as they pull away.
MARION
Thank you for that, Tim.
For leaving them to it.
They’re like two peas in a pod.
Tim grins.
TIM
Three peas, don’t you mean?
The van disappears down the lane.
THE MIDNIGHT MISSION
INT. RHONA’S LAB – AFTERNOON
The atmosphere shifts — from cosy domesticity to daring adventure.
Rhona unfurls a large, weathered map of the Loch across the table.
Anthony projects a soft blue grid over it, scanning terrain.
RHONA
Here.
The Whispering Bay.
She points to a jagged indentation in the coastline.
RHONA
Deep. Secluded.
Far from the tourist trails.
The legends say the creature rests there when the moon
is high.
If we go at midnight, we avoid Angus
Campbell and his binoculars.
Jimmy’s heart thumps with excitement.
Anthony’s sensors hum as he runs a terrain analysis.
It feels like planning an expedition to a forbidden island —
a place of ancient monsters and hidden truths.
JIMMY
A midnight expedition…
Just us and the Dinobot.
Rhona’s eyes gleam — the look of a scientist on the brink of
discovery.
RHONA
It’s going to be a wild night, Jimmy.
Let’s get the equipment ready.
Anthony’s eyes glow brighter, like lanterns in the deep.
ANTHONY
I shall prepare the sonar suite.
And perhaps…
a torch.
Jimmy grins.
Rhona rolls up the map with a snap.
Adventure is calling.
And the Loch is waiting.
FADE
TO BLACK.
