The War Within Page #2

Synopsis: THE WAR WITHIN is a unique fantasy that takes viewers to a world that only God can see; the world of the inner man. Michael Sinclair (Brett Varvel) is a syndicated cartoonist whose dream of a perfect life is upended when tragic events transform his dream into a nightmare. The result is a war that wages within his soul which is personified by six members; Mind, Memory, Emotion, Will, Conscience, and Heart. The ensuing battle for control adversely effects his relationship with his wife Amy (Rebecca Reid) and causes Michael to doubt his faith in God. But in the midst of this spiritual test, Michael discovers that victory is found in surrender. As viewers follow the quest for answers inside of Michael, they may discover their own war within.

Look at yourselves.

You're all in denial.

Emotion, you're out

of line!

Out of line.

Out of line?

You're all

out of line!

Men, l warned you

this would happen

if we failed to

meet deadlines.

Conscience is right.

(Cynically)

Conscience is right.

Memory, you're

killing me man.

Stop living

in the past.

lt's time you got on

the right team

and stop siding

with this guy.

Emotion, you need

to calm down!

(Emotion)

Stay out of this Mind!

Heart?

What are we going

to do now?

Ah...now, we're

getting somewhere.

What are we

going to do?

l'm not sure.

Heart,

how do you feel?

l will tell you

how he feels.

Grief.

Despair.

Anger.

Outrage!

Will, am l right?

Am l right? Am l right?

l've got an idea.

Call Wendell back.

Mind you have to talk

some sense into him.

l tried, but--

But what!

Will, do it!

Do it! Do it!

He wouldn't listen.

He said the decision

was already made.

So that's it.

Mind,

this isn't fair.

Will, you got

to do something!

l can't.

When we get hit,

we hit back.

We have to at least make

Wendell feel our pain.

Heart, don't

listen to him.

Don't let Will burn

any bridges here.

Was l talking to you?

This is between

me and him.

Stay out of this.

l'm sick of this!

No one ever

listens to me!

(Emotion)

We're pathetic losers.

You've got to fight

to win!

You know l'm rightl

You know...

[Boom]

l'm sorry.

l'm sorry.

Thank you, Will.

Look, gentlemen, we've had

a traumatic experience.

We've actually had a lot

of traumatic experiences.

Ok, Memory,

a lot of them.

Let's calm down and

reason with ourselves.

Mind, l'm interested

in your assessment.

Well, l used to know what to do

when faced with a dilemma

but l've got to admit,

l'm confused.

Let me help

you out, Mind.

We're cursed.

No.

Yes.

We've been cursed by God.

How else are you

going to explain it.

We were living the dream

until a year ago,

then it turned

into a nightmare.

All of this clamor isn't

accomplishing anything

except upsetting Emotion.

Hey.

Remember when you had the guts

to face problems head on?

So that's it?

You're just going

to walk away?

What happened

to you Heart?

What made you

so weak?

You're weak!

[suspenseful music]

l've heard enough.

Heart!

There is something

missing in all of this.

Like what?

l've heard

from everyone.

Mind will make

his assessment

and we'll plan

a course of action.

Now let's give

him some space.

You haven't heard

from everyone.

[suspenseful music]

[party noises]

[chatter]

The last one.

Here's the present

Daddy got for you.

lt's a surprise.

Let's see...

Thank you, Daddy!

Can you read it to me?

Why don't we have

Mommy read it?

ls Daddy too tired
