Slaves Born to Serve

INT. STANLEY KUBRICK’S PRIVATE SCREENING ROOM – NIGHT

The room is dark. A single beam from a projector dances across dust in the air. A large screen plays back a slowed-down sequence from Eyes Wide Shut — the masked ball, the circle, the red cloak.

STANLEY KUBRICK (seated, arms crossed, thoughtful)
So, Joe… why Creeping Death?

JOE JUKIC (leaning forward, fire in his eyes)
Because, Stanley, this isn’t just a secret society party. It’s Exodus all over again. That man in red—the high priest—he’s not just any cult leader. He’s the Rothschild patriarch. He’s the new Pharaoh of money.
("Creeping Death" begins playing faintly in the background—“Slaves, Hebrews born to serve... to the Pharaoh.”)

TOM CRUISE (eyes wide, connecting the dots)
You’re saying… that masked figure controls the real world? Not just sex, but banks, bailouts, war?

JOE
Exactly. The Hebrews fled one Pharaoh—chains, pyramids, bricks without straw. Now they live in fear again. Only this time it’s financial slavery. End of Days, brother.

NICOLE KIDMAN (softly, almost whispering)
The red cloak... like blood. Like Revelation.

STANLEY (nods slowly)
And Creeping Death is the Angel of Death... Metallica as the new Moses’ war cry?

JOE
Yes. The music video opens with the slow-motion ballroom... cloaks swirling. Then Lars' drums slam in. The camera cuts to shots of empty Wall Street. Burnt-out banks. A golden calf on fire. Intercut with the Rothschilds’ mansion, modeled on Ziegler’s home. I sync the lyric “Let my people go!” with Tom’s unmasking.

TOM (reflective)
I thought I was playing a man tempted by lust... not uncovering a modern Pharaoh.

JOE
It’s all connected. Your character stumbled into a temple of global finance dressed in ritual. You weren’t meant to be there. And they let you leave—not because you were harmless... but because you weren’t ready to fight.
But I am.

STANLEY
You’re taking Eyes Wide Shut... and opening them wide.

JOE
I’m making it a gospel. A warning. The Hebrews thought Pharaoh would never rise again. But he did—wearing red silk robes, holding debt instead of whips.
And now he owns everything.

STANLEY (final words, almost a whisper)
Joe… you just made the sequel.
But not a movie.
A prophecy.

[FADE TO BLACK]
“Creeping Death” BLASTS.
A title appears: "EYES WIDE OPEN – Joe Jukic’s Exodus."
