I've already got the answer.

The Carpenter is Walter's estranged father, a brilliant scientist, thought to have died in mysterious circumstances long ago, who came up with something-or-other (whatever you like). He hid it inside a false tooth that was implanted into Walter's twin brother's mouth.

At the end of the script the Carpenter will sacrifice himself to save the lives of his sons and will destroy whatever everyone's been looking for, even though it is the culmination of his life's work. In doing so, he will atone for the sins he has commited in his life (in no way does this bear any relation to Anakin Skywalker).

What I like about this resolution is that it is cheesy and ridiculous. I literally just came up with it now - pay no attention.

I just hope whoever unmasks the Carpenter has a cool idea up their sleeves...

Quoted from Ryan1 Well, we're at 11 pages now.  Seeing as how this was supposed to be a 10 page script, I'd say we need to wrap this up and get some answers.

Might be kinda hard to wrap this one up too quickly, as it stands right now.

EDIT: I'm thinking the tooth holds a microchip with information that could solve the world's energy crisis and put oil companies out of business.

But jwent's page already said it was a cure for cancer.  Maybe Mr. Romanoff is the head of some pharmaceutical company that needs to have that formula.

We're only at 11? Seriously?

Thanks.  I forgot about that.  You might be right, probably better to wrap this one up, sooner the better.

It'd be more sensible for us to try and write rock solid ten pagers, than have a twenty pager that jumps all over the place.

You don't think we're a little late for that? Think of how this one started... =)

Lol

EDIT: I guess this one will be a lesson learned.  If we dig too deep then we'll have to figure a way to climb back out.  Keep this in mind for the next script.

Does anyone want to try and write another scene of this? If not, I have something in my head which would basically end the story but it'd be long. So, call dibbs. =)

Haha, very true, blonde.  Next time we  do this, we should have a rule that says you need to use the characters that have already been established, and then expand the story from there.  For this script, the first two pages turned out to be nothing but a tv show(no offense screenrider, I do love your writing style).  But with short scripts like this, every single page and line is precious.

Yeah, I kinda went sideways.    Won't happen again.

I thought it was a cute twist... Then, everything went nuts. Russia, Japan, China and America at war. Who comes out on top? *cue dramatic music*

The tricky part of ending this now is that it's been established that Walter is not the candidate, and that the tooth is still out there(sounds like the x-files)

Mr. Blonde is gonna take a stab at wrapping it up.

Not yet. I'll hold off if someone wants to call another scene. I can work around it.

Glad someone called out screen for his initial faux pas. two pages wasted. now who's gonna finish? This has become too big. Thought I added a decent turning point with the all curing tooth. Ryan is right about pharm companies. But I don't think they want the cure to make money. They want the cure to bury it so they can continue making much more then they would on a cure.

I say pharm co. wins. lesson learned. At least a bit eye opening. Could be finished in a page or two... was fun though.
