Morocco - Casablanca
The Finale
BACK AT THE FACILITY – Weeks later
Range was dressed in his Scottish clothing ... with sword and dirk.
RANGE: Well, I’m ready to go.
WALCOTT: We still cannot locate Erin or Richard…there’s no telling where they might be.
RANGE: Are you telling me that I shouldn’t go?
WALCOTT: No…the sooner the better.
RANGE: Then what’s the holdup?
WALCOTT: (pause) Erin and Richard went back to 1353…the best we can do is 1399.
RANGE: You thinking they may have aged…I’m been thinking about that too.
WALCOTT: It’s a cinch we didn’t send them back to 1353.
RANGE: Then, who did…Is there a chance there’s another facility like yours?
WALCOTT: The only other Facility I’m aware of was located in London.
RANGE: Well, let’s contact them?
WALCOTT: I said was…it was tragically destroyed back in the late 1930’s or 40’s and was never reopened.
RANGE: Well, someone’s reopened it.
Moments later, Range was in the transporter. The machine began to whirl as usual. Then the sparks began to fly.
Range then suddenly vanished from the transporter.
As the machine began to calm down, the sparks subsided.
WALCOTT: Where did he go?
SUPERVISOR: (pause) He’s gone…
WALCOTT: I can see that Riley.
SUPERVISOR: No…he’s gone…wherever he went to…it wasn’t Scotland.
THE NEW ARR - ?
Range appeared down line, landing in a huge dining room in some castle. Looking about he wondered out loud.
RANGE: Now where am I?
He turned quickly when he heard a female voice reply.
MARCIE: Polska ...
Range was immediately smitten by the young lady dressed in armor. She was a beautiful young woman with dazzling blue eyes and shoulder length blond hair.
RANGE: Not Scotland?
MARCIE: I'm afraid not…this is Poland.
A loud and coarse male voice was then heard echoing from the adjoining hall.
MALE VOICE: Is that Range…bring him in.
MARCIE: We’ve been expecting you.
RANGE: Just who are you? And, what right do you have bringing me here?
MARCIE: We’re travelers like you. And, if you play your cards right my uncle will send you to 1353. Regardless of what you think of my uncle and I…we’re not monsters.
RANGE: I’ll play along for now.
Marcie takes hold of Range’s arm and begins to lead him toward the grand hall.
RANGE: You do know it’s against the law to shanghai a person?
THE END
Range’s new adventure “Poland” will begin this coming weekend.

The Epilogue of Morocco - Casablanca
War was never on Morocco’s mind. But, once war was thrust upon them the nation was ready to answer the call. The people were always behind their leaders and the cause to do what was right.
Range, in his ways symbolized Morocco in his fight to survive and to find himself.
