(The scene opens inside a large church somewhere in Los Angeles, it’s just after dark in the City of Angels as we move slowly through the gigantic double doors of the Cathedral, as they open a huge stained glass window with an image of our lord and savior Jesus Christ can be seen, so big in fact is this window that it dominates the far end of the church, moving inside from the cold are worshipers who can noticeably be seen shaking the cold from their bodies, they walk in and find a place on the pew all in different area’s of the church so to get a little peace with the lord and pray for whatever it is they seek. As the camera continues to move we notice a familiar figure crouched down in front of the massive statue of the crucified Christ, it is Seth Copeland who has several plaster bandages on his forehead covering the damage caused at the Halloween House of Pain, he is seen with his head bowed as he mutters a short prayer and kisses the feet of the statue before standing and walking over to the front pew and sitting down, he takes a long deep breath and looks up at the stained glass window mentioned before, still looking at the window he speaks softly to himself and maybe even god.)

“Oh lord what is your plan for me? Why must I go though hell to prove I have you in my heart, I feel people question my faith more often than not and I feel like I’m doing you’re work, I need to know that what I feel is right has your blessing, lord give me a sign.”

(Just then a large side door screeches open and out walks the cardinal priest of the church, he is a man who looks to be in his early sixties, he has white hair and wears a black garment with red trimming, he walks over and greets Seth with a firm handshake before sitting down next to him, he turns to Seth who is again staring up at the window, he turns his head and looks up as well before speaking as they both look up at the image of Christ.)

“What brings you here today my son?”

(Without turning his head, Seth answers.)

“I’m here to ask the lords advice father, I feel I’ve been doing something he wants me to do and I just need to know that what I’ve been doing has his approval.”

(The cardinal turns his head and looks at Seth with a look of intrigue before speaking.)

“What is it that you’ve done that needs the approval of the lord?”

(Seth finally looks down from the image of Jesus and turns looking the cardinal in the eyes before sighing and turning his head back and looking at the stone floor.)

“I’m in a profession that calls for me to be as ruthless as I have to be in order to keep myself safe, I tend to think that I’m a good kind man but when the time comes, in my mind I feel I could hurt someone very badly.”

(The cardinal has a look of somewhat concern on his face now as he asks another question.)

“What is it that makes you feel this way?”

(Looking up again Seth begins breathing deeply with his eyes closed.)

“I feel this way because I keep having this recurring dream, where a bright light appears to me and tells me that it is gods will for me to be his striking hand on earth, it tells me that I must strike wicked men down and then it leaves, I have this dream time and time again and it tells me the exact same thing and you know what father… I feel like I am doing the right thing, I feel deep inside my heart that god wants me to punish unrighteous men and I will continue this if the lord just gives me a sign.”

(The look of concern has subsided slightly as the cardinal speaks again.)

“Do you think you’ll get this sign tonight?”

(Seth nods his head before speaking.)

“I do, I mean I hope I do… I’ve come here tonight to seek the means to continue down this path, I would never punish good men but those who have wronged good men, sinners must be shown the path to righteousness and the only way I know how to do that is though violence, you see violence isn’t always a bad thing, punishing the bad is means enough for me to be okay with it.”

(Seth turns his head and looks the cardinal in the eyes, now the cardinal doesn’t quite know what to think, Seth continues.)

“I don’t want you to get the wrong impression with me here father, I’m a good man, I’m kind to those who show me the same respect but as I’ve said these dreams tell me… not ask me… tell me to do these things and I have no problem with it, I just need to know that I’m not going nuts, if god can just give me a small sign I’ll know that what I’m doing is for him and I think deep down in your heart you know what I’m talking about.”

(The cardinal looks a little calmer again before he speaks.)

“Well I think you feel that these dreams have some significance toward your profession and if by the lord giving you a sign he is saying that it’s okay to use violence I’m not sure I agree with that, what you’re saying is that you have the lords permission to do these things and I guess that if that’s true then you have the right to do these things, as a man of god I feel that the rules of god far outweigh the rules of man.”

(Seth nods his head agreeing, his face shows a look of desire as he shifts his eyes back up at the stained glass window yet again before speaking.)

“I don’t want to be called a lunatic for my beliefs but I feel that I’m right and only god can set me straight, only god can judge me, no man alive will make me feel different and that’s the way it’s going to stay, If anyone questions mine or any other Christians beliefs then they are as bad as the extremists who kill innocent people just because they feel they aren’t so innocent, what I’m doing is different to what they do, I judge those who need to become better individuals and human beings and in doing so will find they have enriched not only their lives but the lives of those around them, but until they do it I’ll use all two hundred and eighty pounds of my frame to punish them until they change themselves.”

(The cardinal nods his head someone taken by what Seth is saying.)

“I have a mixed opinion with what you’re saying my son, on one hand you’re saying that you must hurt evil men to show them the way into the light and I’m struggling to get past the violence, however I do see in your eyes that you believe that this is your purpose and I do agree that if indeed this is what you must do then that is your answer right there, this is a tough decision my son, you must make a choice with what you must do and the choice is yours alone, but if you must wait for gods sign then wait you shall.”

(Seth closes his eyes and sits quietly for a few second before speaking again.)

“I’ll wait for his sign, If I’m losing my mind at least I notice that, a sane man knows he’s going nuts where someone who’s losing his mind still thinks he’s sane, I at least have that on my side.”

(The cardinal is seen chuckling softly to himself and nods his head as Seth smiles and continues.)

“I’m heading to Rochester, New York in a few days to accomplish a goal I’ve set for myself, the man who holds that goal is a good man and need not worry about incurring my wrath, I just see that other men in the business aren’t so good, that’s why I think the lord has chosen me to do this for him, If he wants me to I’ll do my best, But I hope to god I’m not losing it.”

(The cardinal stands and puts his hand on Seth’s shoulder and utters a small prayer only Seth can hear and walks off toward another worshiper, Seth sits quietly for a moment and then stands and walks off down the isle and out the front doors as the cold piercing wind blows, he pulls a pair of black gloves out of his left coat pocket and puts them on before pulling his collar up and pulls his cell phone out from inside his coat pocket, he writes a text message, when he’s done he puts the phone back in his pocket and folds his arms visibly shaking from the cold fall night, he backs up behind a huge pillar and looks at his watch before looking up and into the camera, he speaks again.)

“I just want to say to Eddie Van Dorn before I leave that I’m looking forward to facing you for the Television title, I know that you’ve been waiting for a suitable challenger for a long time and I’m glad to say that I’m that challenger, you said to me before that I’d have to pick which one of your belts I’d be winning… well it looks like it’s going to be your Television title my friend, with all due respect and that you have an abundance of from me Eddie… you’re not leaving Rochester as TV Champ you can bank on that, I haven’t been this focused on winning a title in a long time because I know that the man who currently calls himself Television Champion is the real deal, I know this won’t be easy especially since we are both recovering from San Jose and the Halloween House of Pain… congratulations by the way Eddie you deserve it… but my intuition tells me that it’s just my time and not even the Extreme Revolutionary himself will stop me one on one. Regardless of what happens you’ll still have my respect Eddie and that won’t change. But a new era in the TV division will begin on the twelfth of November and I will go into Birthday Bash as the new WWA World Television Champion. We are both good men Eddie, but as we prepare to enter the ring we will throw what’s good out the window to be recognized Champion, this doesn’t mean that we are bad men by any stretch of the imagination, but we all have Devil’s amongst us somewhere, it’s just what we do to fight with them that counts.”

(Just then Seth sees a large golden retriever laying next to the identical pillar across for him, he stares at it for a while with a perplexed yet relaxed look on his face, he then turns his head away for a second as his limousine pulls up directly in front of the cathedral and the driver gets out and walks around the back of the car and opens the right back door, Seth quickly looks back to find the dog has gone, he looks around for a few seconds before stopping completely and looking up toward the sky and nods his head taking that as his sign, he smiles into the camera and winks before briskly walking down the many steps of the cathedral and gets to the limo, he nods and pats the driver on the shoulder before getting in, the driver shuts the door and jogs back around the car and gets into the drivers seat and drives off as the scene comes to an end.)
