Brandon’s Thriller Plot!
What I learned is…
Filling in the gaps of mysteries and life threatening sequences can become quite complicated, especially in regards to simple magic systems in a fantasy setting. Everything still has to tie back in together from the beginning, even coincidences.
Plot
Opening – Chryslans and the dragon hunt
Mystery – Why do Chryslans hunt dragons?
Life threatening 1 – Will Blusage survive the hunt?
Inciting Incident – Dragon breathes magical fire on Blusage
Mystery – How come Blusage survived the fire?
Mystery – Is he cursed by an evil spirit?
Mystery – What do the Chryslans mean by ‘purging’ him?
Life threatening – if he is cursed then what will this spirit do to him? And is a Chryslan purge harmful?
Villain’s Plan 1 – Mystics wish to destroy the Chryslan order from within.
Mystery – Who will they use to destroy it?
Mystery – Who is the leader of this demonic clan?
Life threatening – Someone is spying on Blusage in the woods when he visits his mother
Mystery – is it a mystic from the Demon Clan?
Life threatening – two mystics attack Blusage on is way home. The magical dragon fire saves him.
Mystery – How will he control this new power?
Villain’s Plan 2 – Lure Blusage to the mystics so they can discover more about his power.
Turning Point 1 – Chryslans attempt to purge the dragon magic from Blusage. He is expelled from their order.
Mystery – Is Blusage’s power gone for good?
Life threatening – Will the purge kill him and if not does it permanently weaken him?
Life threatening – a Chryslan rival (the spy from the woods) leads a group of assassins to track down and kill Blusage.
Mystery – Why does the witch save him?
Mystery – the dragon power is still within him. It just needs to be awakened.
Midpoint – Blusage joins the mystics. They have successfully recruited a Chryslan to their cause
Mystery – what dark arts do the mystics know that will help Blusage unlock his powers?
Mystery – will Blusage be used to defeat the Chryslan order. Will he do so willingly?
Life threatening – mystics summon Blusage like a djinn to do their bidding
Turning Point 2 – The mystics use the knowledge Blusage has given them of the Chryslan order to plan a surprise attack on them.
Mystery – was a spell cast upon the dragon to specifically set him up?
Life threatening – Blusage sneaks around the world of mystics to uncover their plans
Mystery – dark portals. Demonic shadows. What other powers do the mystics possess?
Climax – Blusage aids his Chryslan brothers to battle against the evil mystics and their demonic minions
mystery – the Chryslan rival was spying for the mystics!
Life threatening – the mystics use Blusage’s dragon powers against him.
Resolution – Blusage successfully helps defend Chryslor. He is offered an honored title among them. He goes off to new adventures to uncover more mysteries about these dragon powers he possesses.

1. Meet antagonist, Mosko: cartel enforcer with a night club. His wife, Irina, gets killed and he know the killers. He and his little girl escape with their lives from the massacre. Meet protagonist: MacKnight Grant – former DEA agent, stripped of his duties, guilt-ridden from some past event, estranged from his late father, obsessing over his late father’s transistor radio (what does it mean to him?) shacked up with Bella Ortiz, former prostitute, mourning her child’s kidnapping.
2.
Mosko and Rosario seek refuge in the church. The church rejects them, specifically Rosario (why?), compels Mosko to seek revenge. What will he do?
Mac investigates a string of new kidnappings that have a ritualistic flavor to them but he’s reluctant to go down the path of religion given his past. Bella compels Mac to use his gifts to rescue an American girl who’s just been kidnapped like the others – to do this in honor of her son, Paolo, who was abducted prior to these events.
Meet another antagonist: Peter Arteaga but we don’t know it yet. He’s a cartel leader who wants to go legit but must tie up loose ends – Mosko is one.
Mosko locks in by abducting Father Guzman and killing him
Mac commits to the investigation. Meets Agent Villarreal. Shows his affinity for understanding ritualistic murder – but who is doing all these killings – Mosko or someone else? Mac visits a mentor, Texas Ranger Joe Crowley who seals the deal on Mac investigating and getting his act together with the DEA and to deal with his anger with his father.<div>3, 4, 5 and 6 – Second Act
3. (30-45)
Mac has a problem. He and Bella are ambushed at a Mexican warehouse in the desert by Agent Villarreal, who’s working for Peter.
Mosko and Rosario set out to ritualize the resurrection of Irina. Part of the ritual involves poisonous arachnids – Rosario gathers a spider and a scorpion in a jar to accomplish this and is stung repeatedly…but is impervious and simply giggles – why?
Peter addresses Mac and Bella who are now under his control. He shoots Villarreal for disrespecting Bella and explains his intentions to Mac. He also explains his motivation in going legit, telling a story of his grandfather and his legend as a chieftain of his people. He compels Mac to help him “sometimes it is better to dance than fight”. Peter sends Mac and Bella and Eloy out to stop Mosko. They have to find him first.<div>4. (45-60) Something extraordinary will be tried, stated or implied by character’s actions – it will backfire because of vital knowledge that is unknown to both.
Mosko and Rosario get more violent in their ritualistic murders. Villagers start to take notice of the little girl and quickly take up the mantle of ancient prophecy and rituals and begin following Mosko throughout Mexico, destabilizing the entire region and suddenly fighting back against the cartels.
Mac, Bella and Eloy investigate where one of the priests was killed: at Mosko’s dry cleaners, a legit business front for money laundering. They pick up clues to Mosko’s whereabouts: he’s left a map, mocking them to follow. Why would Mosko let them know where he is?
Mac, Bella and Eloy investigate a Mexican village that was on Mosko’s map. Here, they find a boy festooned with ritual makeup and now an acolyte of Mosko’s. Bella mistakes the boy for her lost son, Paolo. Mac finds a clue nearby about the ritual – a statue.
Rosario begins to connect with the kidnapped American girl, Nina, effectively perceiving her as an ersatz mother given her similar looks to her own mother.
Crowley, Mac’s mentor, finds them in the Mexican desert, immediately conflicts with Eloy.</div><div>5. (60-75) Eye openers for Mac. Mac will have to change to get things done.
Rosario throws a tantrum in a bodega. Mosko can’t calm her until villagers see her and kneel like she’s the goddess incarnate.
One of the bands of rogue cartels knows Mosko’s location but lies in wait for the perfect time to kill him.
Eloy contacts Peter at headquarters on the sly. He reports that the gringo Crowley is complicating things. Peter advises to shoot Crowley in the head. Peter also informs Eloy that he’s been following his progress by GPS.
A Bigger Village: a town festival ensues. more rogue cartels arrive. Tensions rise. Mac, Bella, Eloy and Crowley approach up a mountainside. Mosko and Rosario enter the town looking for the right kind of sacrifice and the statue that went over the cliff with Bella .
Eloy tries to kill Bella but she kills him first then falls over the side of a cliff.
Rosario picks out a young woman for a sacrifice. Mosko shoots and kills her from a distance, setting off a firefight and riot.
Mac and Crowley descend the mountain and into the fray, momentarily rescuing the American girl, Nina, until Rosario cuts Crowley’s throat. Mac is incapacitated.
Cartel members get the drop on Mosko and hang him from a tree. Acolytes surround him and he comes back to life. Acolytes attack the cartel with machetes.</div><div>6. (75-90) A bigger plan. Mac gathers resources and allies are gathered to put plan in action but it seems to backfire and it looks like Mosko will win.
Mac wakes up in the desert and is confronted by human traffickers. He disposes of them, frees the women and reunites with a very much alive Bella who survived the fall off the cliff and still has the statue.
Mosko, Rosario and Nina take shelter in an abandoned gas station where elements of their makeshift family begin to assert. Nina, a drug addict and self-medicating from the trauma, gets hold of some blow. They are attacked by another group of cartel but are beaten back and defeated by yet another wave of acolytes. Rosario addresses them…like a little goddess.</div><div>7 and 8
7. Biggest battle:
Peter decides to make his play but is killed in an ambush by Mosko’s acolytes, beheaded with all his men.
Mac reaches Mosko but Mosko only wants to die which enrages Rosario. Mosko begs Mac to kill him but leaves him to find Bella. Nina tells Rosario that her mother is not being resurrected which nearly gets her killed before Bella saves her. Rosario kills her instead as the completion of the ritual.</div><div>8. The “new world”
A blood curdling scream. Bella is dead, killed by Rosario who expects her mother to come alive. She doesn’t. Mac is distraught and proceeds to attempt to choke the life out of Rosario. Mosko attempts to intercede but is dropped by two bullets in the brain from Mac’s gun.
Mac releases Rosario and tells Nina to get the hell out to find safety.
Mac relinquishes his talisman, his late father’s transistor radio, and throws it out into the night. Rosario is watching him, sensing Mac losing himself. She smiles up at him…a bloody machete still in her hand. – FADE OUT
</div></div> -
4. Answer the question “What I learned is…?” and put it at the top of your work.
This is ridiculous to continue to do the full map. Instead of a 1.5-2 hour movie, I’m doing a book that translates to 6+ hours of TV! I can’t continue to do the assignments for the full book. Only doing the first 2 episodes instead.
1. List out your structure using whatever structure you are comfortable with.

Sue Swenson’s Thriller Plot!
What I learned is that, although this assignment took me many hours to complete, it was well worth the effort. I used Blake Snyder’s 15 Beats structure, then added the Mystery, Intrigue and Suspense questions and statements.
It was a laborious job, but I was compelled to think through the whole story and add the MIS elements. I am at an advantage now because I have an outline. Granted, it’s scaffolding with a lot of placeholders, but I actually have a story now that I can see unfolding. Using a structure plus this layering of elements that are essential to a thriller, is a smart way to go. Better to do the detailed, hard work now than to put it off and have to start over later and waste a lot of time. My script will be a better product for it.
This story is about two families that are dysfunctional begging the question: Is blood thicker than water? Or, should blood be thicker than water?
Carla’s separation from her husband has been partly caused by the tension between her husband and her mother and sister.
1A. Opening Image (1): (A)
A Sasquatch-looking beast is viciously attacking a camper and beating him to death. Then he tears off the camper’s jacket and shirt and starts taking bites out of the body.
Mystery 1: What is this creature?
Mystery 2: Who is the camper?
Mystery 3: Are Sasquatch for real?
Mystery 4: Where is the killing of this camper taking place?
1B. Opening Image (1): (B)
A mother and daughter on a road trip with their dog, tie the dog to the car door with the leash, enter a restaurant/bar. Weird locals share stories of rumored Sasquatch in the area. The mother tells the daughter not to listen to these stories when the child gets scared. They suddenly hear their dog stress barking. The mother and daughter see the busted leash and no dog. The girl calls the dog by name. The dog barks, but is in the woods somewhere. The daughter takes off toward the sound of the dog. The mother yells after her to come back, grabs a flashlight and runs after the daughter. (Then we cut.)
These helicopters are occupied by law enforcement, searching for Big Foot nests.
The Sasquatch kid is poaching campers and hikers under cover of a Big Foot costume to satisfy his craving for human flesh.
But he’s also fulfilling a desire for his family to economically benefit from the tourist attention and media that draws people to this former ghost town.
This small town contains a restaurant/bar, a gas station/convenience store/gift shop and a small motel near the Mogollon Rim.
They’re turning this whiff of a town into a tourist attraction. The kid’s parents don’t want this secret revealed. They are ultimately the Villains.
We could have self-described experts and scientists interviewed for tapings and segments on news shows.
Now pictures, videos are being put on Tiktok, Instagram and Facebook.
A lot of media buzz.
2. Theme (5): Is blood thicker than water?
Carla attends her sister’s son’s birthday party. The sister’s husband gives the kid, 11, a Glock. He points it at Carla who freaks.

3. Set-up (1-10):
Scene: Carla is chastising her sister, Jenny, about the Glock. Jenny tells her to mind her own business. Tense conversation on the phone with Carla’s separated husband who tells her this is just one more example of why he doesn’t want anything to do with her family. She hangs up on him.
Mystery 7: Why is Carla codependent with an obviously dangerous family of origin?
Mystery 8: What power does Carla’s family have over her?
Life Threatening 4: If Carla’s husband abandons her, who is she going to turn to for protection?

Scene where Carla is providing a hypnotherapy session to a patient who’s having nightmares.

Carla has returned from a leave of absence as a result of the trauma she’s been through. She unfortunately witnessed a former patient kill himself in front of her.
She’s opposed to working with this guy because she’s just come back from a LOA due to her own trauma regarding PTSD.
But she gets talked into doing it because she’s the most skilled at hypnotherapy. This sick patient keeps complaining of these nightmares.
Mystery 11: What’s the danger to Carla from working with this sick patient?
Mystery 12: Will Carla’s own mental health be threatened by working with a sick patient who’s been traumatized?
Mystery 13: What will Carla learn from working with this patient?
Life Threatening 8: What kind of danger could Carla be facing from working with this new patient?
Life Threatening 9: Is Carla prepared to take herself in the event that things go south with this patient?
5. Debate (12-25):
A hiker is found along the side of a dirt road. This is in a remote area of northern Arizona or NM. He’s delirious, probably from heat exhaustion and lack of water. He claims to have witnessed a murder but has been wandering for hours. He escapes, but he witnesses the camper getting killed.
Carla addresses whether to take this assignment or not. She’s concerned because she’s just come back to work from a leave of absence. Also, she’s having marital problems and her husband has just moved out. She’s feeling vulnerable and traumatized already. She’s unsure about whether she’s up to the task of this challenging assignment.
She debates the pros and cons of this decision with her husband and also with her dream/therapy group who are her emotional family.
She then discusses this issue again with her boss who tells her that they need her to step up and take this assignment because she’s the only hypnotherapist on staff at this point. She grudgingly agrees to step up to the plate and to take one for the gipper.
Mystery 14: What could possibly go wrong?
Villain’s Plan 1: Will the Sasquatch killer continue to kill?

Mystery 15: How are these two patients’ situation connected?
Life Threatening 11: Will working on both of these two assignments increase Carla’s danger?
