Act 1
Duke's Dream
*Scene 1*
* INT. DIMLY LIT BAR - NIGHT
[DUKE (30s), a small-time criminal, sits at the bar, nursing a drink. He's dressed in a cheap suit, his eyes darting around the room. His partner Prince is next to him.]
DUKE
I'm gonna make it big. I'm gonna be the top dog.
(Verse 1)
Duke:
In the realm of dreams, where aspirations soar,
I'll plant my flag, a star I'll adore.
With every step, my resolve shall ignite,
'I'll make it big time, till all the times are bright!'
(Chorus)
I'll make it big time! Till all the times are big, big time!
No obstacle too high, my spirit will climb.
Through valleys and peaks, I'll forge my way,
My name is etched in history, come what may.
(Verse 2)
Duke:
The naysayers may doubt, but I'll figure it out,
But I'll silence their whispers, make them adore.
With talent and passion, I'll rise above,
Embracing the challenge, powered by greed.
(Chorus)
I'll make it big time! Till all the times are big, big time!
No obstacle too high, my spirit will climb.
Through valleys and peaks, I'll forge my way,
My name is etched in history, come what may.
(Bridge)
Prince:
The journey may be arduous, the path may be long,
But You'll persevere, singing your song.
With every triumph, our belief shall grow,
Till the world echoes, 'Yes, they made it so!'
(Chorus)
I'll make it big time! Till all the times are big, big time!
No obstacle too high, my spirit will climb.
Through valleys and peaks, I'll forge my way,
My name is etched in history, come what may.
(Outro)
Duke and Prince:
So let the fire burn, let the dream take flight,
I'll make it big time, with all my might.
Till every moment shines, a beacon of bliss
PRINCE
You'll make it big time!
*Scene 2*
* EXT. DARK ALLEY - NIGHT
[Duke walks through a dark alley, his footsteps echoing off the walls. A large man follows. Duke does not notice him. He stops and looks around, his eyes narrowed.]
DUKE
(to himself)
I can't keep doing this. I need to find a way out.
Verse 1)
Duke:
Thoughts swirling, a relentless tide
Trapped in my mind, I can't hide
Bound by chains of doubt and fear
Stuck in this labyrinth, no way clear
(Chorus)
I'm stuck, stuck on my thoughts
Can't break free from this mental knot
Desperately seeking a way out
But my mind's a labyrinth, there's no doubt
(Verse 2)
Duke:
Questions haunt me, answers elusive
Logic fails, my mind becomes abusive
Reason and clarity, they elude
As darkness threatens to consume my mood
(Chorus)
I'm stuck, stuck on my thoughts
Can't break free from this mental knot
Desperately seeking a way out
But my mind's a labyrinth, there's no doubt
(Bridge)
The Shadowed Man:
I know you long to escape this prison of thought
To find a path where freedom is sought
But the walls close in, suffocating tight
You'll be trapped in this torment, day and night
(Chorus)
I'm stuck, stuck on my thoughts
Can't break free from this mental knot
Desperately seeking a way out
But my mind's a labyrinth, there's no doubt
(Outro)
Duke:
Yet amidst the chaos, a flicker of hope
A belief that I can still cope
With courage and strength, I'll persevere
And break free from this mental sphere
*Scene 3*
* EXT. STREET - DAY
[Duke walks down a busy street with Prince, their gaze fixed on a group of tourists. He spots an OLD LADY (70s) walking alone.]
PRINCE
Easy money.
(Verse 1)
Prince:
In the city where the lights are bright,
Where the hustle never seems to end,
There's a rhythm that guides us through the night,
A beat that we all comprehend.
(Chorus)
Yo, easy money, just gotta take it,
No need to wait, no need to fake it,
The world is ours, the game is set,
Just gotta seize the moment, don't forget.
(Verse 2)
Duke:
In the streets where the dreams are born,
Where the hopefuls gather and yearn,
There's a hunger that drives us to perform,
A fire that we all must learn.
(Chorus)
Yo, easy money, just gotta take it,
No need to wait, no need to fake it,
The world is ours, the game is set,
Just gotta seize the moment, don't forget.
(Bridge)
Prince:
Opportunity knocks, but only once,
So we gotta be ready, gotta be strong,
With every step, we're moving on,
To the future that we've always longed for.
(Chorus)
Yo, easy money, just gotta take it,
No need to wait, no need to fake it,
The world is ours, the game is set,
Just gotta seize the moment, don't forget.
(Outro)
Duke:
So here's to the hustle, the grind,
To the dreams that we're chasing,
With every stride, we're leaving behind,
The fear of ever losing.
Yo, easy money, just gotta take it,
No need to wait, no need to fake it,
The world is ours, the game is set,
Just gotta seize the moment, don't forget.
[PRINCE and DUKE snatch the wallet and run.]
*Scene 4*
* EXT. PARK - DAY
[Duke and Prince sit on a bench, the OLD LADY's purse in his hands. He opens it and pulls out a wad of cash.]
DUKE
This is it.
(Verse 1)
Duke:
Got some cash, a little money
Gonna spend it on something funny
Maybe a new car, or a fancy watch
Or a trip to the beach, just to watch
(Chorus)
I got some cash, a little money
Gonna make it last, for as long as it's sunny
Gonna spend it wisely and have some fun
Before it's all gone before it's done
(Verse 2)
Prince:
Could buy a new suit, or a pair of shoes
Or a bottle of wine, to get me through the blues
Maybe a new bike, to ride around town
Or a night on the town, with a pretty girl around
(Chorus)
I got some cash, a little money
Gonna make it last, for as long as it's sunny
Gonna spend it wisely and have some fun
Before it's all gone before it's done
(Bridge)
Duke and Prince:
Money can't buy happiness, they say
But it can buy you a little bit of play
So I'm gonna spend it while I can
And enjoy it while I'm a young man
(Chorus)
I got some cash, a little money
Gonna make it last, for as long as it's sunny
Gonna spend it wisely and have some fun
Before it's all gone before it's done
(Outro)
Duke:
I got some cash, a little money
Gonna make it last, for as long as it's sunny
Gonna spend it wisely and have some fun
Before it's all gone before it's done
*Scene 5*
* EXT. STREET - DAY
[Duke and Prince start to walk away, but then he hears a scream. He turns around and sees the OLD LADY lying in the street, a TRUCK rolling over her.]
DUKE
Oh no.
Prince
We could have saved her.
[They walk down the street, the money still in Duke's hands. He stops and stares at it, his face a mask of guilt.]
DUKE
I'm not going to be a small timer,
(Chorus)
I'll make it big time! Till all the times are big, big time!
No obstacle too high, my spirit will climb.
Through valleys and peaks, I'll forge my way,
My name is etched in history, come what may.
(Verse 1)
Duke:
The naysayers may doubt it, but I'll figure it out,
But I'll silence their whispers, make them adore.
With talent and passion, I'll rise above,
Embracing the challenge, powered by greed.
(Chorus)
I'll make it big time! Till all the times are big, big time!
No obstacle too high, my spirit will climb.
Through valleys and peaks, I'll forge my way,
My name is etched in history, come what may.
Act 2
Duke's Fall
*Scene 1*
[INTRO: Intense music builds up as the screen fades in from black to a gritty urban landscape. The spotlight shines on Duke, a scruffy, young man with an edgy look, lurking in an alleyway. Dukes partner Prince next to him]
NARRATOR
In the city where shadows whisper secrets, the small-time criminal we know, Duke thought he could outsmart the law. But in a world ruled by consequences, fate had other plans.
(Verse 1)
Duke:
Yo, I'm grindin' hard, got my eyes on the prize,
Dreams so big, got 'em reachin' for the skies,
Tryna make it big time, is that a crime?
Stackin' my paper, every minute, every rhyme.
(Chorus)
I'm the Duke, call me royalty in the game,
Climbin' up the ladder, they remember my name,
Hustle in my veins, can't put out my flame,
I'm out here to win, ain't no shame in my claim.
(Verse 2)
Prince:
They say, "Slow down," but I'm movin' my momentum,
Plot twist, watch me rise, call it a golden emblem,
With every bar I spit, I'm breakin' the mold,
Chasin' dreams like a king, steady and bold.
(Chorus)
I'm the Duke, call me royalty in the game,
Climbin' up the ladder, they remember my name,
Hustle in my veins, can't put out my flame,
I'm out here to win, ain't no shame in my claim.
(Outro)
Duke:
So if I'm chasin' dreams, man, you better understand,
It's not a crime to rise, execute the plan,
I'm the Duke, baby, watch me shine like a star,
Big time is the goal, I'm taking it far.
*Scene 2*
[ Duke and Prince, nervously glancing around as he counts cash from a small deal gone wrong. The sound of sirens echoes in the distance.]
DUKE
Gotta move. Gotta go!
[Suddenly, police cars screech to a halt at the alley's entrance. Officers jump out, shouting and pointing.]
OFFICER
(shouting)
Duke! Stop right there!
[Duke and Prince bolt down the alley]
NARRATOR
(pacing narration)
Cornered but determined, Duke and Prince ran through the maze of the city, his heart pounding in rhythm with his reckless choices.
*Scene 3*
[ Duke dodges through streets, vaults fences, and leaps over obstacles, eluding the police as they chase him.]
Verse 1
Prince:
Gotta go, gotta run,
The clock is ticking, here comes the sun.
My heart is racing, my feet are on fire,
No time to think, I'm chasing desire.
Pre-Chorus
Duke:
Whispers in the shadows, I can feel them near,
But I won't look back, I won't show my fear.
With my dreams as my compass, I'll break through the night,
Dodging all the laughter, I'm ready to take flight.
Chorus
Gotta go, gotta run,
If they catch me, that won't be fun.
Chasing freedom, racing sun,
In this game, I'm never done.
Gotta go, gotta run,
Life's a chase; I'll outlast everyone.
With every heartbeat, I'm on the run,
This adventure's just begun!
Verse 2
Prince:
City lights are flashing, feel the adrenaline,
All the doubts are crashing, I'm ready to begin.
With every step I take, I'll keep moving fast,
Leaving all the worries and the shadows of the past.
Pre-Chorus
Prince:
Voices echo louder, but I drown them out,
Living for the moment, that's what life's about.
With my dreams as my armor, I'll break every chain,
Running towards the sunrise, dancing in the rain.
Chorus
Gotta go, gotta run,
If they catch me, that won't be fun.
Chasing freedom, racing sun,
In this game, I'm never done.
Gotta go, gotta run,
Life's a chase; I'll outlast everyone.
With every heartbeat, I'm on the run,
This adventure's just begun!
Bridge
Duke and Prince:
So here's to the wild ones, the dreamers, and the brave,
We'll write our stories, we'll misbehave.
No, looking back, we'll just fly high,
Like shooting stars across the sky.
Chorus
Gotta go, gotta run,
If they catch me, that won't be fun.
Chasing freedom, racing sun,
In this game, I'm never done.
Gotta go, gotta run,
Life's a chase; I'll outlast everyone.
With every heartbeat, I'm on the run,
This adventure's just begun!
Outro
Duke:
So keep your eyes open, 'cause here I come,
With wild ambitions, I'll never be numb.
Gotta go, gotta run,
With every heartbeat, I'm the only one!
[ Their frantic escape continues until they spot an open manhole. He takes a deep breath and jumps in.]
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Desperation can lead to the most daring of escapes. But for Duke, freedom was just the beginning of a bittersweet tale.
*Scene 4*
[CUT TO: Dark underground tunnels, Duke and Prince emerge from the manhole, panting but triumphant.]
DUKE
(out of breath)
I did it! I'm free!
Verse 1
Duke:
Running through the city lights,
Got my heart racing, feeling so alive,
No chains, no ties, just me and the night,
Laughin' in the shadows, everything feels right.
Pre-Chorus
Prince
Underneath the stars, I'm breaking the rules,
Living for the thrill, ain't nobody's fool,
Whispers in the dark, freedom calls my name,
Got a spark in my soul, can't play it safe in this game.
Chorus
Cause I'm free, yeah, flying high,
Got the wind in my hair, reaching for the sky,
No one to hold me back, I'm wild and unchained,
Cause the police won't catch me, I'm dancing in the rain.
Verse 2
Prince:
Running on the boulevard, feeling so bold,
Chasing every heartbeat, chasing every soul,
With the moon as my witness, I'm never looking back,
Every corner I turn, I'm on the right track.
Pre-Chorus
Duke:
Underneath the stars, I'm breaking the rules,
Living for the thrill, ain't nobody's fool,
Whispers in the dark, freedom calls my name,
Got a spark in my soul, can't play it safe in this game.
Chorus
Cause I'm free, yeah, I'm flying high,
Got the wind in my hair, reaching for the sky,
No one to hold me back, I'm wild and unchained,
Cause the police won't catch me, I'm dancing in the rain.
Bridge
Duke:
Feel the rhythm of the night, it's my melody,
All my worries fade away, I'm finally free,
Got a fire in my heart, I'm chasing the dream,
With every step I take, I'm breaking the seam.
Chorus
Cause I'm free, yeah, I'm flying high,
Got the wind in my hair, reaching for the sky,
No one to hold me back, I'm wild and unchained,
Cause the police won't catch me, I'm dancing in the rain.
Outro
Prince:
So here's to the nights we'll never forget,
Living on the edge, no time for regret,
With the world at my feet, I'm making my way,
Cause I'm free, yeah, I'm here to stay.
[The screen goes dark with the sound of police radios crackling in the background. The music shifts to an ominous tone.]
NARRATOR (V.O.)
But freedom came at a cost. On the fringes of his victory, fate lurked.
*Scene 5*
[ Daylight — Duke walking confidently down a busy street. He smirks, feeling invincible, but suddenly, a car screeches around the corner.]
[ Duke turns, eyes wide with shock.]
NARRATOR (V.O.)
In an instant, everything changed. Life doesn't care for plans.
[The stage fades to black, and the sound of impact echoes.]
*Scene 6*
[ The scene opens with a sombre atmosphere as news reporters and Prince gather around the accident site. A police officer shakes his head.]
REPORTER
(voice low and sombre)
In a tragic turn of events, local criminal Duke Thompson has died after being struck by a vehicle shortly after escaping police custody.
[ Duke's empty sneakers lying on the ground with police tape and a broken life.]
PRINCE
(choking in his tears)
He's gone. And I wasn't there
(Verse 1)
Prince:
In the quiet of the night, under silver moonlight,
There's a shadow on the porch where he used to sit tight.
Whispers of his laughter fade like a distant so-o-ong,
Now the world feels heavy, everything feels wrong.
(Chorus)(Reporters too)
He's dead, Duke's dead, the stories fade away,
A villain in our hearts, but he couldn't stay.
With every midnight echo, I hear his voice so clear,
But the roads we walked, now he's not here.
(Verse 2)
Prince:
The old guitar is silent, dust settles on the string,
Every note we played together, now the silence stings.
Those adventures and the memories, locked in time's embrace,
In the gallery of my heart, he'll always have a place.
(Chorus)(Reporters too)
He's dead, Duke's dead, the stories fade away,
A villain in our hearts, but he couldn't stay.
With every midnight echo, I hear his voice so clear,
But the roads we walked together, now he's not here.
(Bridge)
Prince:
I'll raise a glass to the times we shared,
To the wild dreams and the soul he bared.
Though the stars are dimmer, his spirit shines bright,
In every whispered promise, in the heart of the night.
(Chorus)(Reporters too)
He's dead, Duke's dead, the stories fade away,
A hero in our hearts, but he couldn't stay.
With every midnight echo, I hear his voice so clear,
But the roads we walked together, now he's not here.
(Outro)
Prince:
So I'll keep on riding, down these dusty roads,
Carrying his laughter, as I lighten my load.
He may be gone, but I'll never forget,
In the heart of a friend, he's forever set.
He's dead, Duke's dead, but our bond will never break,
In the rhythm of my heart, it's his name I'll take.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
We all make choices. Some lead us down paths of raindrops and sunshine. Others lead to darkness… and a final halt.
[Stage darkens to black]
Act 3
The Rise and Fall of Prince
NARRATOR
In a world where loyalty is fleeting, and crime runs deep, the small-time criminal we know finds himself on a dark path of ambition and betrayal. This is the tale of Prince, a man whose desperation led him to assemble a gang after losing his only partner, Duke.
*Scene 1*
[Cut to Prince sitting on a dirty street curb, staring at an old photo of him and Duke, tears in his eyes]
NARRATOR
Prince was just a petty thief, scraping by in a city that offered no second chances. But when his closest companion, Duke, was hit down by a car, everything changed.
PRINCE
Damn it, Duke, why did you have to go?
(Verse 1)
Prince:
Out on the streets where the shadows play,
We made our mark in a reckless way.
A couple of kings with a crown of sin,
Dancing with danger, we let the night in.
(Chorus)
Duke why, oh Duke why, why did you die?
In the heat of the moment, under that sky.
I did crime with you, felt that thrill,
Now I'm left wondering, did you feel the chill?
(Verse 2)
Prince:
Late night whispers, secrets we'd keep,
With every heartbeat, the promises run deep.
We chased the feeling, the world in our hands,
Two reckless souls with their own plans.
(Chorus)
Duke why, oh Duke why, did you die?
In the heat of the moment, under that sky.
I did crime with you, felt that thrill,
Now I'm left wondering, did you feel the chill?
(Bridge)
Prince:
Memories linger like smoke in the air,
Every wild moment, I still feel you there.
But when the sun sets, and the sirens wail,
Did we write our own fate, or was it all a tale?
(Chorus)
Duke why, oh Duke why, did you die?
In the heat of the moment, under that sky.
I did crime with you, felt that thrill,
Now I'm left wondering, did you feel the chill?
(Outro)
Prince:
So I walk these streets, with echoes of you,
A shadow of glory, a heart split in two.
Duke way, oh Duke, I still ask why,
In the silence of night, I can hear our goodbye.
[A Tear Rolls down his face]
*Scene 2*
[ Prince scouting out potential members, meeting with various shady characters, and looking through wanted posters.]
NARRATOR
Consumed by grief and anger, Prince decided to take matters into his own hands. He sought out the most ruthless individuals he could find, desperate for a new family—a new gang.
PRINCE
You want in? This isn't just a crew, this is a blood pact.
GANG MEMBER 3
Like hell I want in.
PRINCE:
Meet me in the warehouse.
*Scene 3*
[ Prince in a dimly-lit warehouse, surrounded by gang members, laying out plans for a series of bigger heists.]
NARRATOR
The gang grew quickly, fueled by promises of power and riches. But beneath the surface, trust began to erode as greed took hold.
(Verse)
We're gonna hit that vault, like a bang,
Stackin' up the paper, let it rain,
Chasin' dreams, yeah, we in the game,
With every step we take, we'll claim that fame!
From the shadows to the spotlight, bright,
No sleep, all grind, we take flight,
With my crew by my side, we ignite,
When we touch down, everything feels right!
(Chorus)
Yeah! We're risin' up, no time for shame,
In the hustle we trust, memories we frame,
'Cause when we hit that vault, echo with our name,
Living for the moment, we'll never be the same!
Yeah! Yeah!
PRINCE
We're gonna hit the vault, and this city will remember the name Prince!
*Scene 4*
GANG MEMBER 1
Why is Prince calling all the shots?
GANG MEMBER 2
I don't know.
GANG MEMBER 3
Lets upturn him.
GANG MEMBER 4
But he's nice.
GANG MEMBER 2
(Grumbling)
Whose side are you on?
Verse 1
In the shadows, where the whispers dwell,
Questions rising like a tolling bell,
The lines are drawn, and the stakes are high,
Now it's time to choose, and I can't deny.
Pre-Chorus
Promises made in the heat of the night,
But the truth is calling, it's shining bright,
We're in a battle, can you hear the sound?
It's time to stand up, to turn it around.
Chorus
Now who's side are you on?
Together we'll take the price down,
Raise your voice, we won't back down,
In this fight, we're taking our ground.
Now who's side are you on?
Feel the fire, it's where we belong,
Hands united, we'll break the chain,
Together we'll rise, dance through the rain.
Verse 2
Every heartbeat in this crowded space,
Each face a story, each story a trace,
Of struggles fought and dreams held tight,
Through the darkest hours, we'll ignite the light.
Pre-Chorus
The echoes of hope are ringing clear,
We're stronger together despite the fear,
So take my hand, let's shake the town,
With hearts ablaze, we'll never back down.
Chorus
Now who's side are you on?
Together we'll take the price down,
Raise your voice, we won't back down,
In this fight, we're taking our ground.
Now who's side are you on?
Feel the fire, it's where we belong,
Hands united, we'll break the chain,
Together we'll rise, dance through the rain.
Outro
So lift your head, let the anthem play,
We're more than a choice, we're here to stay,
Now who's side are you on?
With every heartbeat, we'll carry on.
NARRATOR
As the stakes grew higher, so did the paranoia. Members began to question Prince's leadership, wondering who would take the throne once he faltered.
*Scene 5*
[Intense music builds as the gang prepares for their biggest heist yet.]
NARRATOR
The fateful night arrived. Tensions were high, and trust was at an all-time low. Prince was determined to prove himself, but his gang had other plans.
Prince
On my signal…
(Verse)
Yo, we moving quick, yeah, we fast now,
Shadows in the night, watch us cash out,
We'll steal from the dreamers, take what they say,
No time for the doubters, 'cause this is our day.
In the hustle, we grind, no delay in our play,
Like a predator's instinct, we ready to slay,
With ambition so fierce, we in it to stay,
Unstoppable force, let the world feel our sway.
(Chorus)
Fast now, living life on the edge,
In the game, we're the ones who'll hedge,
Stealing the spotlight, light up the stage,
Know this is our day, turn the market to rage.
*Scene 6*
[As they enter the vault, the gang turns on Prince.]
LEAD GANG MEMBER:
We're taking everything, and you're getting nothing, Prince!
NARRATOR (V.O.)
In a moment of chaos, betrayal struck. Those he considered brothers turned their backs, leaving him alone and vulnerable.
GANG MEMBER 1
You were never one of us.
(Verse 1)
Gang members:
Yo, you said this was a blood pact, not a little game,
We play for keeps, ain't no need for fame.
In the shadows where we plot and arrange,
This crime gang's tight, yeah, we're wired to the same.
Fueled by the fire, ignite with the pain,
Loyalty's the currency, never switch lanes.
In the streets we walk, where the danger's proclame,
Rising from the ashes, watch us stake our claim.
(Chorus)
We hustle hard, let the world know our name,
Through the struggle and the hustle, never live in shame.
This was a blood pact, stand strong, don't wane,
We rise, let 'em feel the flame.
*Scene 7*
[Prince struggles against his bindings, fear and rage in his eyes.]
NARRATOR
It all fell apart in a heartbeat. The gang ran off with Duke's unreleased revenge, leaving Prince empty-handed and fighting for his life.
[Police sirens wail in the background as Prince is arrested.]
NARRATOR
Just like that, the once feared Prince became a pawn in a game he thought he controlled. With his gang gone and Duke's memory tainted by his own actions, he faced the harsh reality of his choices.
*Scene 8*
[Camera zooms in on Prince's face, now a mix of regret and realisation.]
NARRATOR
In the end, Prince learned the hardest lesson: that in a world fueled by betrayal, trust is a rare currency—one he could never afford to spend.
PRINCE
[Holding a picture of duke, a tear rolling down prices face]
What happened to loyalty?
(Verse 1)
Prince:
In the shadow of the memories, where laughter used to cling,
We were just two dreamers, the world beneath our wings.
Duke, you were my anchor, through the storm and through the night,
Now I'm just drowning in silence, as the stars fade from sight.
Chorus
What happens to loyalty when the laughter turns to pain?
What happens to their promises we made beneath the rain?
In the echo of your absence, I'm the only one to stand,
Just a ghost of what we were, clutching at empty hands.
Verse 2
Prince:
I carved our names in the sidewalk, swore we'd never part,
But life's a fickle painter, and it's broken my heart.
Every corner holds a whisper, every shadow calls your name,
You were the light in my darkness, now I'm lost in this game.
Chorus
What happens to loyalty when the laughter turns to pain?
What happens to their promises we made beneath the rain?
In the echo of your absence, I'm the only one to stand,
Just a ghost of what we were, clutching at empty hands.
Bridge
Prince:
Time moves like a river, but I'm stuck in yesterday,
Searching for your silhouette, in the words I've left to say.
Oh, Duke, how I'd give anything for one more moment here,
To break the chains of sorrow, to drown out all this fear.
Chorus
What happens to loyalty when the laughter turns to pain?
What happens to the promises we made beneath the rain?
In the echo of your absence, I'm the only one to stand,
Just a ghost of what we were, clutching at empty hands.
Outro
Prince:
So here's to all the memories, a bittersweet refrain,
You were more than just a shadow; you were sunshine in the rain.
But the clock keeps on ticking, and I'm learning to let go,
Still, I carry you with me, in the heart's silent woe.
NARRATOR (V.O.):
And with that, Prince was taken into custody.
