ROAD TO THE HIGHLANDS - THE STOWAWAY REVEALED

EXT. GREAT GLEN - DAWN

 

The first pale rays of morning creep over the jagged Highland peaks. Frost clings to the windows of RHONA’S COTTAGE, glittering like a thousand tiny diamonds.

A soft, distant SNORING drifts from inside — deep, rumbling, and unmistakably belonging to TIM WATSON.

INT. RHONA’S COTTAGE – UPSTAIRS HALLWAY – CONTINUOUS
MARION WATSON slips out of bed, feet sinking into plush, fur‑lined slippers, a
Christmas gift. She wraps herself in a fluffy dressing gown that looks like it was knitted from clouds.

She glides down the hallway, serene — until she steps on a single, ancient floorboard.

CREAK.

INT. JIMMY’S ROOM – SAME MOMENT
JIMMY’S eyes snap open instantly — alert, sharp, almost electrified.
Solar Cola still hums through his veins like bottled sunlight.

He scrambles to the window and taps his watch.

JIMMY (whispering) 
How was the night, Maximus?

His watch vibrates.

ANTHONY (V.O., polite, metallic) 
Impervious to the Highland chill. Energy at forty‑two percent.
I require a solar top‑up, but the local star is currently obstructed by a cloud shaped like a sheep.

Jimmy grins despite himself.

INT. KITCHEN – MOMENTS LATER
RHONA MACLEOD is already up, bright‑eyed, stirring porridge like a witch brewing something important.

Jimmy bounds in, hugging Marion as she enters.

JIMMY 
Morning, Mum! Morning, Rhona!

He turns to Rhona, trying to sound casual — and failing.

JIMMY 
So… about those grainy pictures. Anything… big?

Rhona sighs, leading him toward her lab.

RHONA 
I wish, Jimmy. But the skeptics say my pings are gas bubbles or shoals of fish.

EXT. DRIVEWAY – SAME TIME
Marion steps outside into crisp Highland air. She reaches up to the roof of MISS OCEAN, grabbing the edge of a heavy yellow tarpaulin.

MARION 
Right… come here, you stubborn thing.

She yanks the tarp back.

ON THE ROOF – CONTINUOUS
ANTHONY, hidden beneath the tarp, instantly dials his camouflage to maximum.

The tarp hangs over… nothing.
Or rather — something invisible, shimmering like heat haze.

Marion blinks.

MARION (whispering) 
That’s not possible…

She reaches out.

CLUNK.

Her knuckles hit solid carbon‑fibre.

She yelps, recoiling.

MARION 
Jimmy… Jimmy Watson!

ON THE ROOF – CONTINUOUS
Anthony realises the game is up.
He drops the cloak.

The shimmering
air collapses into the sleek, blue‑and‑silver form of a DINOBOT.

ANTHONY (polite bow) 
Hello, Mrs Watson.
How are you today?
Your slippers appear very efficient.

Marion points at the ground like Professor McGonagall catching a student out of bed.

MARION 
Down. Now.

Then she bellows:

MARION 
JIMMY! JIMMY!

INT. RHONA’S COTTAGE – TIM’S ROOM – SAME TIME
TIM jolts awake, hair wild, dressing gown askew.

TIM 
What’s the hubbub? Is the VW okay?

He stumbles outside — sees Anthony — freezes.

TIM 
Oh cripes. He’s for it now.

EXT. DRIVEWAY – CONTINUOUS
Jimmy and Rhona rush out. Jimmy sees Marion’s face and goes pale.

JIMMY 
Sorry, Mum…

MARION (furious) 
SORRY?
Where’s the trust, Jimmy?
You smuggled a… a military‑grade robot project on a family holiday!

Tim tries to look stern but fails spectacularly.

Rhona, meanwhile, looks like she’s been hit by a bolt of magical lightning.

RHONA 
Jimmy… what… who is this? Who is Anthony?

Marion jumps in.

MARION 
You know Jimmy’s robot project? The one we mentioned?

Rhona nods — then Anthony flicks his cloak off again.

Rhona performs a perfect Highland vertical jump without moving her feet.

TIM (cheering) 
Good jump, Rhona!

CLOSER – JIMMY AND ANTHONY
Jimmy steps forward, serious now.

JIMMY 
This is Anthony.
And I know I broke the rules…
but you have to listen.

He looks at his parents.

JIMMY 
Anthony isn’t just a project.
He’s a walking sensor.
And last night… he picked up a signature in the Loch.

Tim’s General voice returns.

TIM 
Jimmy, no tall tales. Don’t use a legend to get out of trouble.

Jimmy gulps.

JIMMY 
It’s not a tale.
Anthony — please.

Anthony steps forward, eyes glowing amber.

ANTHONY 
Jimmy is on point, Mr Watson.
There is a large creature in the
water.
Displacement: thirty to thirty‑five tons.
Morphology: non‑standard.

Tim smirks.

TIM 
Good yarn, you two. Nearly had me.

Marion softens, pulling Jimmy into a one‑armed hug.

MARION 
Oh, come here, you little smuggler.

But Rhona isn’t smiling.

She’s staring at Anthony.
Then at the Loch.
Then back at Anthony.

Her mind is whirring like a Hogwarts clockwork contraption.

RHONA (breathless) 
Wait… did you say thirty tons?

Anthony turns politely.

ANTHONY 
Correct, Professor MacLeod.
Would you like to see the frequency response?
It was… a greeting.

Rhona gasps.

RHONA 
He talks!
He talks and he has better sonar than the
Royal Navy!

She grabs Jimmy by the shoulders.

RHONA 
Jimmy — bring him inside.
We have work to do!

PLOT OUTLINE:

 

Having enjoyed a wicked Christmas in Herstmonceux, Jimmy's mum, Marion and dad, Tim, decide to take a Scottish vacation to visit Marion's cousin, near Loch Ness. A road trip in her trusty Volkswagen Kombi Camper van. They set off just after Boxing Day, to arrive before New Year's Eve, for a reunion, having fitted winter tyres and installed a heater in the VW. They make it up the M1 to Edinburgh, and M90 to Inverness, then back down to Drumnadrochit. Where 'Rhona MacLeod' lives alongside Loch Ness. 

 

Anthony, travels on the roof-rack, using his cloak of invisibility to remain undetected. The trip is uneventful, the VW performing well, even in a snowy blizzard, that soon clears near the famous Loch. It turns out that Rhona is a scientist. She has been studying the Loch for signs of the Monster of legend. Once reunited and settled in, Rohna tells that she has photographed the elusive monster, but nobody believes her. A famous debunker, 'Angus Campbell', discredits Rhona publicly. Calling her crazy, to even think such a legend could have any roots in reality. Anthony, the Magic Dinobot, who is not supposed to be on this trip, spots the monster in the Loch through a mist, with his incredible AI sensors, telling Jimmy, secretly. Jimmy keeps this to himself. Marion and Tim support Rhona in principle, but are somewhat skeptical. Although, they love the idea of the legend, having been brought up on the story. Then Marion realised that Anthony has been a passenger, and scolds Jimmy. Then forgives him, when Jimmy reveals that the dinobot has seen the monster. 

 

Tim does not believe the dinobot, but when out on the banks of the Loch, in the mist, the monster reveals itself to Antony, attempting to communicate with the AI robot, and they kind of speak to each other, the dinobot deciphering the monsters grunts and songs. Marion, Tim and Jimmy see this, and are spellbound, but know nobody will believe them. So, agree to keep it a secret.

 

Then, an investigative reporter, Charley Temple, visits to report on the sighting, for Jill Bird, at the BBC World News. There is enough evidence to keep the legend alive, and Charley, a fan of Jimmy from when he won a coding prize for his work on AI, tends to believe him and Rhona, keeping the legend alive. Charley spots the dinobot when creeping around at night, but decides to keep this to herself, to protect Jimmy and Rhona. Then, Angus Campbell's boat is found out on the Loch, with claw marks, and harpoons onboard, but no Angus. His body is never found. This is reported on by Jill Bird at the BBC and it goes viral, the mystery remaining a mystery. The family return home safely, vowing to keep their encounter with the monster a secret.
