Achilles Heel
If you had the chance to be better than average, what would you do with
those powers? Ryan Advent is a less fortunate teen his mum has remarried
and his step siblings are rude he relies on his friends to help but after
making enemies with the school jock he decides it’s time to fight back. After
few days of torture form the school hero he fights back but doesn’t have the
advantage of the jock, and when Jason his best friend gets involved it all
goes wrong. The jock wanting some money and drugs gives to Jason an
ultimatum but Ryan intervenes and the whole day goes bad as they run
away Ryan and the jock have a fight with Ryan losing then being knocked
down and electrocuting himself. As he lies in a coma is family are
distraught and the weeks go by where nothing can happen but a chance
visit from long term love interest Carrie sparks a sensation in him
Which revives him and he wakes up with extraordinary powers and
decides to test them, he has strength that no other human can muster but
after inflicting the pain on a car he realizes he has broken some bones while
at the doctors he develops the ability to shoot a bolt of energy from his
fingers. But with these powers he has a responsibility he saves the innocent
from evil but with the attention he can’t reveal himself even to the girl he
loves or his family who worry about him and will face the ultimate test of
his friendship..
So if you had these powers how would you be? What would you do? Only
Ryan knows what he would do but we all know that a power is a
responsibility. With his ever growing population he gets the attention of
the local crime syndicate, who will stop at nothing to be rid of him as he has
ruined some of their businesses. Also the police would like to know who he
is as they have some unanswered questions.
Achilles Heel

Fade In
We see a young man walking down the street ignorant of what’s
going on around him as he is walking a school bus drives by he looks
up.
Boy:
Ah, Shit!!!
He picks up the pace and runs after the bus as it turns the corner.
The bus stops outside a house. The boy runs quickly towards it.
Boy:
Hold the Bus!!! Hold the Bus!!!
Boy #2:
Hurry up dude!
As the bus doors shut the Boy jumps through just in time for them to
slam.
Boy:
Whoa that was close.
Bus Driver:
No this is close
The Bus lurches forward causing the boy to nearly fall as he regains
his composure he gets to his chair where a friend is waiting.
Boy#2:
That was very close Ryan don’t even think your school track and field record
would help.
Ryan:
No sweat, Jase it’s all good got here in time.
Jason:
Yeah. You do Tesendorffs homework
Ryan looks up and cringes
Ryan:
Shit not again
Jason:
Dude she’s going to freak out
Ryan:
No she’s going to eat me
Jason:
HA that’s funny, here. (Hands him a piece of paper)
As they go to school Ryan frantically works on his homework. The
bus pulls up as everyone gets off Jason waits by the door. With the
bus driving looking impatient
Jason:
Dude we got to go don’t think herb wants us on his bus the whole day.
Ryan:
I’m done lets go before we get detention.
As they get off the bus and head towards the school four shadows
appear and block the way.
Thug#1:
Well it’s the morning toll again and our first contributors
Thug#2:
Boys, boys you’ll never learn to leave early
Ryan:
Eat shit!
Thug#3:
ohh descent.
Ryan:
Whoa you can spell? What a surprise.
Thug#3
And hit (punches him in the stomach)
Ryan falls to the floor as he gets picked up by the fourth shadow
Ryan:
Oh come one Todd
Todd:
Come on Ryan give me the money.
Ryan reaches in and hands him $10 and then walks away.
Thug#1:
Hold it you took away time so here are some bits of advice.
While two thugs hold Ryan and Jason the other two give them
wedgies. And then let them go to class.
As there walking down the hall they get stopped by a hall monitor.
Ryan:
For fuck sake!!!
Jason:
Be cool
Hall monitor:
Can I see your passes?
Ryan:
Here (he then punches him as a teacher walks round the corner)
Teacher:
Mr Advent and Mr Mazzini detention now
Ryan shrugs his head as the teacher directs the boys to the detention
room after taking the hall monitor to the nurse.
Teacher:
You two will stay here for recess as well got that.
Ryan and Jason:
Yes sir!
They go in and get directed to the back as they miss first period of
their lesson.
As they take a seat towards the window both bring out their phones
and enter a secret chat as not to disrupt the class or the teacher.
They both smile but then Ryan looks out the window and gets
distracted. Jason looks out and grunts. As Ryan is staring at a girl.
Jason:
Dude, you don’t stand a chance.
Ryan:
I don’t need a chance I want the girl
Jason:
Get in line then (points towards the jocks looking at her)
Ryan:
Oh shit
Jason:
What?
Ryan:
Tesendorffs outside
They look round to see Tesendorff outside with the class and that she
has seen them she shakes her head and indicates to the teacher to
them to come out.
Jason:
You ready for this Tesendorff will eat us alive.
Ryan:
I might as well eat my step dads cooking
As they chuckle and go out towards the sports field Tesendorff is
waiting for them. Ryan sees his step sister and step brother but they
just shake their heads at him.
They arrive as Tesendorff turns round and just smile as she looks at
them with dissatisfaction.
Miss Tesendorf:
You two were not in my class. Where were you and look at me now?
They look up and have a smile on their faces as they look at
Tesendorff.
Ryan:
I have done the homework so has Jason miss we got off the bus late, then got chastised
by some bullies then I hit a hall monitor here if you don’t believe me. (Hands her the
detention slip)
Tesendorf looks at the slip and sighs
Miss Tesendorff:
For once I can’t fault you but I want you in my class tomorrow and get to class now!!!!
Ryan and Jason:
Yeah
As they walks way a two girl rushes at them
Girl:
Tesendorff get the better of you?
Ryan:
Well no she didn’t, but where you been Carrie, hey Meg
Carrie:
I slept in and my mom just dropped me off
Jason:
And your college material bullshit!!
Megan:
Where going to be Late
They both leave and head for the next class just as the bell rings so that the
other classes have finished. They enter the school chuckling.
INT
As they walk down the hall way towards the lockers something hits Ryan.
Ryan:
Argh!! Son of a bitch
Several students laugh others look shocked Ryan picks up the bit of paper
and throws it back in the way it came. It strikes a crowd.
Student#1:
Oh shit you all right dude
Student#2:
Yeah!!!
As the crowd parts several jocks appear from it.
Jason:
Oh shit!!! Ryan don’t move
The bigger of the jocks walks forward as people remain still. As some
people move.
Lead Jock:
Hold it!!
Several students don’t move and remain planted.
Lead Jock:
Who threw this?
Ryan steps forward as Jason grabs him he pulls away several students peel
away.
Student:
Shit he’s going to kill you
Lead jock:
You threw this why?
Ryan:
Retaliation (Shrugs)
Lead Jock:
Do you know who I am?
As the lead jock goes toe to toe with Ryan he stands his ground.
Ryan:
Yeah you are the schools lead quarterback and also the prom king for the last 3 years
and have a grade average of 2.80 and you’re dating the prettiest girl in the year, Melissa
Couper. Oh and your names Carter Henderson.
Carters Friend#1:
I think he wants to fuck you
Carter:
You’re a smart kid now if I’m not correct you haven’t apologized yet.
Ryan:
I will if you will
Carter:
Really did you also now I’m quite feared
Ryan looks around and sees Jason shaking his head as he knows what
Ryan’s going to do.
Carter:
Well I’m waiting...
Ryan swings fast and hard and lands a hard punch on Carters jaw, as he
falls back to the floor he looks happy.
Random Student:
Whoa
As Ryan smiles Carter stands back up and the smiles drops from Ryan’s
face as carter has a cut lip and a angry look on his face.
Ryan:
Oh no
Carter:
Oh yeah
As Ryan lurches away he gets grabbed and pulled back.
Students:
FIGHT!! FIGHT!!!
As Ryan struggles to free himself Carter pulls his fist back only for it to be
grabbed by another person.
Carter:
Who the hell.....(Shocked look as he realizes a teachers there) Oh hi Mr Sanderson
Mr Sanderson:
Right you know the policy no fighting and everyone go to the class the period bell has
rung ok leave now.
As the crowd disperses Ryan, Jason and Carrie walk on.
Carrie:
That was close
As they turn the corner Carter and some of his friends rush Ryan and pin
him to the wall and put him in a lock
Carter:
Hard man, let’s see if you can fight after school the bleachers be there or ill find you.
Carrie:
Hey, Meat head back off
Carter:
Oh the bitch speaks what a surprise.
Carters Friend#1:
Are we bitter from the summer fling?
Ryan:
What?
Carter:
Ouch didn’t know she was a good..
Ryan attempts to punch carter but gets blocked then winded in the process
Carter:
Not a smart move, See I’m going to take you down like a piece of garbage then if you’re
lucky I might fuck your sister.
Enraged Ryan rushes again but gets blocked.
Carters friend#2:
Feisty one eh
Carter:
Save the energy after school.
They drop Ryan to the floor and barge past Jason despite his protests.
Carter stops and turns.
Carter:
Oh I owe you one.
As Ryan stands Carter smacks him hard in the face and knocks him to the
floor splitting his lip and bruising his eye. Carter and his friends leave
laughing and mocking them.
Ryan lies in a heap as Jason and Carrie help him up. He pushes the hands
away and walks on.
Jason:
This day couldn’t get worse I don’t think
Carrie:
Let’s get him to class
As they walk to class several people look at Ryan and mutter as word has
spread about the impending fight he enters the room to his next class.
Teacher:
You’re late back of the room and quiet.
Ryan, Jason and Carrie:
Sorry sir
They sit down and Ryan is staring into space as others are working he
eventually gets his book out and writes some stuff down. Several students
have looked round and are pointing or whispering about him he seems
oblivious but is transfixed on something else.
As the lesson progresses he slumps forward trying to concentrate but is
distracted. He gets nudged by Jason.
Ryan:
What?
Jason:
Look (Shows him a Facebook page of a comment)
Ryan shrugs and focuses on his work but instead just doodles.
As the teacher comes to the end of the lesson he asks if there are any
questions. Several students ask but he ponders the answers as they are
similar questions.
Teacher:
You may leave and I will see you next week do not forget to build our diagram of a DNA
model please, goodbye
As the recess bell goes and everyone is let out Ryan walks out towards the
benches area and gets a drink and fruit.
His step brother comes up to him and confronts him.
Stepbrother:
So you got yourself a fight with carter eh
Ryan:
Felix don’t start
Felix:
Oh I won’t but dad will freak if you get suspended for a 3rd time
Ryan:
Oh heaven forbid I should destroy your trust fund
Felix:
Oh that money is a quick fire way to get the cars and girls
Ryan:
Well I’m getting into the fight not you so just back of Bro
Felix relaxes as there sister comes over Claudia. Felix and Claudia kiss the
air then she looks at Ryan with a disgusted look.
Claudia:
Little bro a fight in senior year
Ryan:
I’m your age dumb ass
Felix:
Yeah but a reprobate
Claudia:
Felix, leave it I’ll talk with him
Felix leaves shaking his head as Claudia looks at Ryan and then takes his
hand despite him trying to pull away.
Claudia:

Ryan:
Yeah runt of the litter and not educated well.
Claudia:
No just need to be focused more if I’m honest so what you going to do.
Ryan:
Fight of course
Claudia:
Ry that’s not the way walk away or just tell a teacher.
Ryan:
Claudia, it’s not that simple
Claudia:
It’s not easy finding a school either
Ryan:
Cheap dig
Claudia:
No the truth, daddy worked hard to get here regardless if the genes are different.
Ryan:
Why do you care?
Claudia:
I’m a sibling so you have to listen. Plus there are others who do care ok not just me.
As Claudia walks away a shadow looms over Ryan. He turns round to see
Melissa stood over him.
Ryan:
What do you want?
Melissa:
Ah, I was told you were rude
Ryan:
Park it if you’re going to insult me please
Melissa Sits down and offers Ryan a crisp he doesn’t accept he stops
doodling then looks up as she coughs.
Ryan:
Why are you here? Your boyfriend will break me if I’m seen with you.
Melissa:
Carter is full of hot air but I’m here to talk
Ryan:
Talk!
Melissa:
Well as I’m your one true grace Carter will break you apart until you back down and as
you’re not the type to back down and he definitely will persist in hurting you and those
around you.
Ryan:
Why are you with him then?
Melissa:
(Silent for a bit) I don’t know but he makes me happy
Ryan:
Even if he cheats
Melissa:
Quick to judge aren’t we
Ryan:
No just know what’s right and what’s wrong
Melissa:
Ok well don’t jump to conclusions if you need to judge look at yourself you’re not
perfect!!!
Ryan:
God alive I’m not but I have my own shit to deal with and I won’t step away from a jerk
like him even if he hurts me
Ryan gets up and walks away from Melissa shaking his head he stops and
turns round
Ryan:
Just so you know I don’t care what people think everything is material and even if you
don’t agree stop fooling yourself with it see you later
Ryan walks away with his temper semi flaring and just wants to relax
Melissa hangs her head as a tear drops on to a doodle Ryan did of her.
Fade out
Fade In
It’s the final class of the day, Camera pans from a clock showing 3:30 to the
class room, Ryan looks up as he sees the time and grimaces several others
are looking round or relaxing. Jason throws a bit of paper Ryan’s way
without the teacher seeing Ryan opens it up.
(Yon dude there has been hear say that Carter is going to break you and that he
knows you were with Melissa. But I got your back bro well I’ll try
Jason)
Ryan smiles and looks at Jason he gives him the rock hand sign as an
acknowledgement
Bell Rings
As the students leave the teacher shouts to them.
Teacher:
Look at your geographical books and study pages 109-137 please I will see you next
week for the pop quiz round two. Thank you good bye
Student#1:
You suck
Student#2:
Whoopee!!!
As the students leave Ryan accept his fate and walks down the hall as many
people turn and make hushed whispers about him. He looks at several faces
not caring and head towards the door.
Ext shot of school yard
A lot of students are stood round Carter is at the centre as he is winding his
muscles ready to fight. One of Carter’s friends taps him on the shoulder and
indicates towards the mass of people walking toward him they know of the
fight in front of the people is Ryan walking stoically with Carrie and Jason
by his side.
Ryan walks up to Carter
Ryan:
You ready
Carter:
Baby I was born ready
Ryan throws his stuff towards Jason as Carrie steps forward
Carrie:
You don’t have to do this
Carter:
Ohh you gonna back down!!
Ryan:
Hell no
They circle each other both weighting each other up Ryan gulps as he walks
round. A circle forms’ with the students looking in. One of carter’s friends
shouts towards Ryan which takes him off his train of thought as this
happens Carter pounces at Ryan, But Ryan dodges and lands quite a harsh
Blow that forces Carter to step back Ryan looks at him with scepticism.
Ryan breaths as he knows that Carter can take him he looks up then runs at
Carter who is unprepared he lands several good blows but carter then
blocks and lands two good blows to Ryan’s head he gets knocked back as he
is dazed. Carter circles him.
Carter:
You’re actually a tough challenge but I’m bored
Carter waits for Ryan to get up as this happens Jason runs out and kicks
Carter in the jaw hard as he falls holding it in pain Jason dances round him
Jason:
Now who’s my...
Before Jason can even finish carter hits him right in the face with a kick that
semi concussing him Jason groans on the floor as Carter lands couple of
punches on him
Carter:
Son of a bitch, interfering little Fuck
Ryan:
HEY!! Your fights with me not him (Said while staggering)
Carter stands up and loosens his muscles and steps towards Ryan. Ryan
swings but his fist gets blocked then he takes a foot to the gut and then
Carter lands a punch to his face and then hits him in the face again, he lands
backwards groaning.
Carter walks way as some students cheer
Carter:
Man that was easy
Ryan stands up again
Carter’s friend:
Dude, look (Points towards Ryan)
Carter:
Jesus
Ryan:
Let’s finish this
Carter:
Resilience impressive
Melissa Rushes between them before they can come to blows
Melissa:
Enough please look at you, grown idiots knocking
Carter:
Get out the way now
Melissa:
Is he worth it really?
Carter:
Yeah it’s worth it
Ryan:
Pride and defiance against ass holes
Melissa:
Well fine I’ll find my own way home
Carter:
Are you giving me an ultimatum?
As Melissa waits for an answer Carter shuns her and walks past going
towards Ryan.
Carter:
See you later
Melissa:
Where through!!
Melissa storms off and Carter doesn’t even look back as he and Ryan go at
each other once again. Carter can see Ryan is weary as Ryan exerts some
energy into landing blows Carter just jabs away making Ryan feel
exhausted he knocks him down but Ryan gets back up.
Carter:
Boy you should stay down
Ryan:
No..(Breathlessly)
Ryan charges but Carter runs forward and raises his knee right into Ryan’s
sternum and forcing him down and landing awkwardly the crowd ohh as
Ryan lands but is struggling to get up. He gets up holding his side and
wincing in pain.
Carter:
You want more
Ryan:
Yeah
Carter:
Why don’t you just lie down?
Ryan:
Like you did on Carrie, Does Melissa know your cheat?
Carter’s rage gets the better of him and surprisingly he lunges hard and fast
and strikes Ryan in the jaw and he collapses. The crowd leave, knowing the
fights finished. Ryan tries getting up but is too hurt some of the crowd
laugh and just walk away Jason who is hurt himself gives him a hand, Carrie
is stood watching in tears as her friend has betrayed her. Ryan steps
forward
Ryan:
Carrie I didn’t...
Carrie slaps him
Carrie:
Fuck you!!!!
Carrie walks away as Ryan just slumps his head Jason semi carries him to
the bus stop as some people see him injured.
Jason:
Dude that was semi awesome if only you’d won
Ryan:
(Groggily)Um yeah it was brutal I got to get to work will you drop me off
As they stand a car pulls up with tinted windows they wind down. Claudia
peer her head out.
Claudia:
Ryan....(Stops aghast)
She steps out and looks appalled
Claudia:
What the fuck Ryan why did you fight him
Ryan:
(Waving her away)He provoked me so I had too
Claudia:
Yeah because you both look like you had a good time Jason I thought you’d see sense
Jason:

Claudia:

Ryan:

Claudia:
You don’t give me much choice but as I actually care I won’t.
Ryan:
Thank you
Claudia:
But no more fighting and you study, ok now let’s get you cleaned up somehow.
They get into the back of Claudia’s car and head off to one of Claudia’s
friends, As they pull up Felix is waiting
Jason:
Oh shit
Felix:
This shall be a good explanation
Claudia:
What are you doing here?
Felix:
Well I was in the neighbourhood.
As they get out of the car Felix smiles at Ryan’s injuries. Claudia gives him
an angry stare.
Felix:
So what’s the story this time fell out of a tree, hit by a car
Claudia:
Felix!!! Shut the fuck up please
Felix:

Claudia:

can’t keep his fist to himself and you can’t resist shouting your mouth off
Felix:
Sorry sis I’ll help, Come on little bro let’s get you cleaned up
As their friend comes out Claudia takes Jason to one room while Felix helps
Ryan out.
As Ryan’s wounds get cleaned up Felix exhales.
Felix:
You’re quite the trooper
Ryan:
My dad taught me to stand my ground and back down only if necessary
Felix:
Know what my dad taught me
Ryan:

Felix:
When to know your beat, and Carter he won’t back down he will come at you I’ve dealt
with his type before a bully by name a bully by nature.
Ryan:

Felix:
And it won’t help ok look at you dude broken and bruised. Plus Carrie isn’t talking to
you I saw the fight and knew she slapped you then walked off
Ryan:
Yeah I don’t know what to do about that.
Felix:
Go and see her tonight it’ll heal better.
Ryan:
I might leave it for a bit.
They get cleaned up and leave Claudia’s friends house and drop Ryan off
they arrive at their home with both parents in. They enter the house
quietly.
Man’s Voice:
You three in here KNOW!!!!
They look guilty and then make their way as they enter the kitchen they see
two angry parents.
Dad:

Felix and Claudia:

Both look at each other and semi smile.
Dad:

Ryan:

Mom:

Ryan limps out of the room grabbing his bag and going upstairs as the other
converse.
Cut to landing
Ryan walks towards his room he opens the door and just falls into the bed
and groans, several seconds later a knock appears. He groans and looks up
to see his step dad.
Dad:

Dad:

Dad:

Dad:

Ryan:

Mom:

Ryan looks up after a mouthful of food
Ryan:

Mom:

Ryan:

Claudia:
Well we were thinking you might just have to live outside (Smirks)
Dad:
Well in fact I have something to show you
Ryan and his step-dad go outside to the garage. His dad opens it and reveals
a chassis of a car.
Ryan:
Wait! This is mine if I do well
Dad:
Well maybe but you have to prove me you can, not just yet and its better than the other
shit box you have.
Ryan:

Dad:

Ryan:
Ok bugger I’m late for work I have to go
CUT TO RYAN IN HIS CAR.
He’s driving along the street as he knows it is very late and he’s a couple of
minutes late for work.
He rushes in and quickly grabs his uniform. And rushes passed his boss
Ryan:
Sorry I’m late Mr Brekowski
Mr Brekowski:
Why did I hire you again?
Ryan:

Mr Brekowski:
Nope, But what do I know I’m Old
Ryan comes out from behind the door and looks at a delivery sheet
Ryan:
Has the first order come in yet?
Mr Brekowski:
Yes now I’m going home it’s you, Max and Todd
Ryan:
Ok
Ryan grabs the first order and heads towards the door. He turns
Ryan:
Pass me some drink
Ryan passes Max and Todd on their return he makes his way to his car and
gets in to deliver the pizza
As he’s driving along he looks at the address and recognizes it but pays no
heed he then hits a posh part of town and groans as he drives towards the
house he can hear music and laughter.
He pulls up and stops and grabs the pizzas he walks towards the house and
presses the buzzer.
Intercom:
Who is it?
Ryan:
Pizza Delivery
Intercom:
Someone will be with you in a minute
As Ryan is waiting he looks around and sees all these flashy cars and
whistles to himself. The gate opens and a bikini clad girl comes out.
Girl:
Hey are those the pizzas
Ryan:
Yeah they are....(he turns round and looks aghast)
Girl:
Ryan:
Ryan:
Melissa
Both look at each other with shock, he snaps out of his reverie
Ryan:
Sorry, here are your pizzas
Melissa:
Thank you, here keep the change
As they exchange money for pizza a voice is heard
Man’s voice:
Yo, Babe where are you
Melissa:
That is your cue to leave
Ryan turns abruptly as Carter is coming, he pulls his hat down and then
walks semi fast. Carter comes out and smiles.
Carter:
OH Pizza nice just what I need
Melissa:
Let’s go back in
Carter:
Where’s the pizza boy
Carter looks up and sees Ryan walks away he is still limping he smiles and
runs after him.
Carter:
Hey pizza man
Ryan:
Yeah (Changing his voice slightly)
Carter:
I believe we should have made another form of payment, you see if you want monies
you should fight for them.
Ryan:
I don’t want to you have your goods now I’ll leave
Ryan steps to the side of Carter who just grabs his hat and laughs
Carter:
This is too good to be true
Ryan:
You got your shit now leave it
Carter looks at Ryan with a glare of pleasure. Melissa and several of the
couple’s friends come out.
Melissa:
Carter, come on
Carter:
Quiet, come on shit stain what’s the problem?
Ryan:
(Balls his fists up) Nothing I’m going now, keep the hat as a memento
Ryan makes his way to leave but one of carter’s friends gets in the way
Carter’s Friend#1
Come on lil bitch
Ryan:
No
Carter’s Friend#1:
Maybe, you don’t get the option
A small circle forms around Ryan with most of them being Carter’s friends
Ryan:
Is this it you send the Monkeys’ to do the organ grinders work.
Before Carter can respond Ryan gets levelled to the floor and each person
hits him with several blows, the circle steps back and Ryan get up with
scratches on him he looks around as some of the people in the circle are
smiling.
He walks off as Carter looks on with Amusement. Melissa storms Carter
shrugs then walks away with people in tow.
Ryan goes to his car but stops. He opens the boot and takes out a baseball
bat he walks back and looks at all the cars he spots the one he wants and
rushes full pelt and starts hitting it with the bat until it’s broken and
splintered. He walks away not knowing that Melissa had come back and
saw what he did.
Fade out
Fade In
Carrie is sat in her room listening to music and writing, stone clatters on
her window as she looks up she goes to the window and opens it to see if
anyone is there, looking around she spots a shadow.
Carrie:
Who’s there?
Ryan steps out but she rolls her eyes and he climbs up a trellis to get to her
window. She tries to close it.
Ryan:
Carrie I’m sorry
Carrie:
Bullshit what do you want?
Ryan:
To apologize it was a stupid thing to say.
Carrie:
Damn straight
Ryan:
HEAR ME OUT PLEASE!!!
Carrie opens the window and lets him in, he hands her some flowers which
she hits him with then throws them down, she takes a seat on her bed and
he sits near the window.
A minute silence passes but nothing is said he looks up and smiles.
She raises her eyebrows
Ryan:
I’m sorry I‘m a complete ass hole
Carrie:
That’s a few words I could use. You had no right to say what you said I don’t appreciate
that not from you.
Ryan:
I know it was stupid and I got angry for no reason it was unprovoked.
Carrie:
Damn straight but what hurts more is the fact that you said it with maliciousness
Ryan:
I wasn’t thinking I’ve been going through shit and I didn’t know what to say
Carrie looks at him and shakes her head but she can sees he’s hurting.
Carrie:

each other.
Ryan:

Ryan:

Ryan smiles she smiles back and they hug before he leaves. He drives home
and can’t concentrate as he’s driving he nearly hits someone he brakes

He arrives home and just gets into bed and sleeps as he sees the time is
quite late.

Ryan is in bed and just groans as his alarm goes off. He sits up and shakes
his head the sun is coming through his window he gets out if bed and
assesses the damage done to him in the course of twenty four hours he has
bruises on his body and several cuts to his face he grimaces.
He gets changed and puts some clothes on he goes down stairs and eats

Claudia are arguing about who will drive to school he grabs some food and
heads towards the door.
Mom:

As it’s said he rushes out the door and heads to his car and just smiles. He
goes past Jason’s house and picks him up then heads to school and gets
there on time.
As he pull into the school parking lot there are a groups of people stood
round a car. Jason sees carter and points him out Ryan shrugs they get out.

As the bell rings they start to walk towards school and are smiling Carrie
and Ryan are quite close as she canoodles on his arm they enter the main
hall and Carter is seen with Melissa she looks content whereas Carters eyes
are wondering.
As they go towards their lockers Carters friend Harry walks towards Ryan
as he’s at his locker. As Ryan opens it he slams it shut and hard gaining
some people’s attention.
Harry:

Ryan:

Harry punches Ryan’s locker and leaves angry as Ryan smirks at Melissa
who shakes her head at him and he looks towards Carrie and Jason.
Montage as several days of school go by with Ryan and Jason having to deal
with torment form Carter and his friends, Several scenes with them being
given wedgies or being put in their lockers. Melissa looks on as she sees
that he actually enjoys the torment and that Ryan is getting angry. Carrie
attempts to speak to Ryan but sees he just wants vengeance.
After Several days Ryan rushes carter they have a fight and then get
detention with carter handing Ryan a note which says he won’t survive the
year. Ryan levels Carter but they get split up before it can get more heated.
Carter and Melissa can be seen arguing outside school where he just
doesn’t care and walks away as he’s had enough, she breaks down but he
shakes his head.
The bell rings to indicate End of the day

They drag the lifeless body out and look around to see if anyone’s there no
one’s looking so they grab the body and throw it in the sea and watch it
sink after tying weights to it.
They walk back to Da Luca’s car and check for money and drugs. After a few
minutes Filipo finds some money and very unusual drugs.
Filipo:

As the bell goes Lucio hands Jason some drugs and money. Carter sees this
and smiles he’s been watching with harry and Carl they move out after the
car moves away.
Jason:
Bye Uncle (Waves at car)
The car honks its horn as Jason is walking back Carter emerges and just
levels Jason with a punch as he struggles on the floor Carl and harry kick
him several times.
Carter:
See this (Waves the money and drugs in his face) this is compensation, now if you want
this back umm it’ll cost you several hundred dollars got that or a new car door for Harry
Jason writhes on the floor in pain, Ryan seeing this runs out full speed with
his skateboard and levels carter in the back of the head Harry and Carl
jump back shocked.
Ryan:

Harry:

Ryan:

Carl edges close but Ryan has the board at full length and swing’s narrowly
missing Carl who jumps back, Harry tries to rush but gets kicked by Jason
he then gets the board to the face and collapses in pain. Carl looks down
then just steps back. Jason grabs the Drugs and Money, They leave quickly
as teacher comes round and shouts at Carter, Harry and Carl.

punches Ryan.
Jason:

Ryan:

Jason:

Ryan:

The whole day goes slow as they look around and Carter isn’t to be seen
they have lunch in detention deliberately and just hide out as the day is
coming to an end Jason and Ryan go to their last class and see that Carter
isn’t there as the door shuts. And the class starts the door opens. Carter
steps in with friends and Jason and Ryan go white.
Teacher:
You’re late
Carter:
Sorry I will try to be here on time next time
Teacher:
Back of the class
Carter walks past and gives them a wink and smile and sits at the back.
Ryan looks back and Carter is full on intently staring at him. Ryan looks at
Jason. He slumps his head.
Ryan:
Sorry Bro
Jason:
Huh!!
Without realizing it Ryan smacks Jason’s head off the table
Jason:
Son of a bitch!!!!
Teacher:
What the hell?
Jason:
Dude!!
Jason whacks Ryan back
Teacher:
Out now and detention
Jason:

Ryan looks at Jason and indicates Carter with his eyes and Jason just smiles
as they stand up and leave Carter looks on and just gets enraged Jason nods
back and smiles as they leave Crater smashes his fist against the table
Teacher:
Silence!!! Or you’ll all get detention
Ryan and Jason make their way to detention and smile as they might just
get out of school alive. They arrive at the detention and see Carrie and
Melissa. They nod to each other and smile and go and sit in the corner
As there sat doing nothing Ryan’s phone vibrates he looks at it it’s from
Melissa he looks up and ignores it she gets up and goes to talk to him Jason
nods and goes towards Carrie.
Melissa sits down and Ryan ignore her she taps him, he looks up and
smirks
Ryan:
What?
Melissa:
Fighting Carter again
Ryan:
What can I say I’m a glutton for punishment?
Melissa shakes her head at the rebuke
Ryan:
So why is the princess in the dungeon with the scum
Melissa:
I can be just as bad
Ryan:
But you’ve never burnt a school down
Melissa looks appalled, While Ryan smirks at her
Cut to Jason and Carrie
Jason:
Why are the princesses in detention?
Carrie:
Leave it J
Jason:
Let me guess you were protecting a friend’s honour
Maybe I just got a bit defensive
Jason:
He doesn’t know that and if you too stopped being stubborn and talked more
Carrie:
Talked about what
Jason:
UMMM.... how the time we spent apart wasn’t good?
Carrie raises an eyebrow as she tries to figure what Jason just said
Cut to Ryan and Melissa who seem to be in a stalemate.
Ryan:
What you don’t believe everything you hear?
Melissa:
I thought all the stuff bout you being at court wasn’t true
Ryan:
Depends how much you want to listen too
Melissa:
You’re no better than Carter
Ryan:
He isn’t even close to what I can do
Ryan gets up and walks away from Melissa who looks stunned he goes and
sits with Jason and they chat he looks back and shakes his head.
As they are sat in detention they get distracted by the time and just muck
around as they realize that it’s nearly time to go.
The Bell sounds and everyone looks up. The teacher allows them to leave
Jason and Ryan look round and head for the door as they peer out they
can’t see Carter.
As they leave a different way the back school yard is deserted they walk
and as they get halfway they realize that a shadow appears from behind
them, they turn Carl is stood with baton they edge away as he walks slowly
two shadow appears from the right and its more of carters friends.
Jason and Ryan look shocked as they turn Carter and Harry walk round the
corner.
Carter:
Now earlier today you took some very cheap shots
Harry:
Son of a bitch could have broken my nose
Jason:
Fuck you
Harry:
That isn’t an option you give the money and the drugs over and then maybe we rough
you up a bit.
Some of Carters friends:
Yeah!!
Ryan stands back with Jason but doesn’t move until he thinks its safe he
and Jason are just trapped he looks at every avenue of escaping and just
thinks about what to do.
Carter:
Look, We won’t hurt you just hand the gear and Notes and all will be forgiven, Look
think it through
Jason:
How about you get fucked?
Harry:
That is not a nice thing to say you really should give up the dough I’m bored
Ryan:
Okay we don’t want any trouble here
Ryan takes the money and pauses for a second as he grabs the stuff Jason
pulls it back.
Ryan:
Look I have a plan I just need you to know that whatever happens run and run fast okay
(whispered)
Jason reluctantly lets go of the bag of stuff as Ryan turns to hand it Carter
comes forward.
Ryan hands the bag but doesn’t let go as Carter tugs Ryan swings hard and
fast and clocks Carter to the floor seeing this happen Jason rushes forward
and hits Carl, Ryan also runs as Carter stumbles down with the gear in hand
they bolt for the back of the school.
Carter gets up fuming
Carter:
GET THEM!!!!
Carter and his friends rush after, Ryan and Jason run full pelt towards a
fenced of area
Jason:
How do we get over that?
Ryan:
Jump it
They lunge at the fence as Jason hits the top he turns round to see Carter
and a lot of enraged people.
Ryan runs back as he sees Jason transfixed
Ryan:
Stop daydreaming their going to kill us
Jason:
Look!!!!
Ryan:
Shit! (As he see Carter has more people)
Jason jumps down they run through some foliage
Carter hops the fence and looks round
Carter:
Get the car we can cut them off
Harry:
They went straight
Carter:
Get the car we’ll trap them
Carter and Carl look round as Harry and two others from the group run to
get the car.
They run on chasing Jason and ever more determined.
Cut To
Jason and Ryan running and looking back they stop for a second and see a
fence with a hole in it they go through and grab a piece of wood and pin it
against the fence.
As the view moves out the Fence has a warning sign for electricity on it and
looks disbanded and disused.
Carter and Harry run up and look round but don’t see anything they look
round shouting.
Carter:
You can’t hide and I will find you
Carter walks round with friends and they find the disused electrical site
and nod they walk toward it.
Ryan and Jason run round looking for a way out but can’t find it as they run
round another corner they see Carter and his friends near the front
entrance.
Carter sees them and smiles
Carter:
Hey come out to play
They start to climb the fence.
Ryan:
Run Now
As their feet touch the ground Ryan and Jason run towards the back of the
power station, At that point a car pulls up and it’s Carl.
Carl:
Hey Bitches
Jason:
Shit
As Carl and Co get out of the Car, Ryan and Jason turn towards another
avenue of escape a broken down building that has hazard signs on it.
With Carter and his friends following suite they split up as they enter the
building.
Carter looks around as he decides to go after Jason alone.
Carter:
You find the little punk and you make him pay I’ll get the other one
Ryan climbs up a ladder and can see harry and Carl looking for him he goes
by some windows and can see a main road.
Jason manages to get a good spot and can see carter is walking round
angry.
As Carl and Harry are looking for Ryan he sneaks up behind Carl and
swings his board into his back leg as he does this he covers his mouth as to
not make a noise. Harry stops as he turns Ryan body checks him into a
drum semi concussing him. He then targets Carter.
Jason goes onto a gangway and sees its semi safe as he does this carter is
behind him he walks halfway across before it makes creaking noises. As he
turns carter is at the other end.
Carter:
You should have just done what I asked its along drop down
Jason:
You think I’d believe you the moment we handed the stuff over you’d turn your hounds
on us
Carter:
I know, now if I’m correct this will give way
Carter hammers the ledge once it shakes knocking Jason off balance as he
swings again Ryan rushes and both smash through a window into the road.
They both tumble over and become dazed as they regain their composure
they both charge and throw several punches at each other both seem
equally matched Carter lands a glancing blow knocking Ryan off his feet as
he gets up Carter kicks him in the ribs forcing Ryan to scream with agony
he rolls over.
Carter picks up Ryan’s skateboard as Ryan Gets to his knees Carter swings
it hard hitting Ryan full in the face and knocking him back Jason, Harry, Carl
and Carters friends and Passersby see this happen. Ryan rocks back dazed
and seemingly unfocused as he gets up a car drives round the corner very
fast and he gets hit full on as the car hits the breaks. Ryan is forced back a
couple of hundred feet flying into the power station and hitting some sort
of power supply as it shocks him and forces the power station into a
meltdown.
The power station seems to sound an alarm and Carters friend’s rush out
Jason rushes out sees the car and the driver in shock Carter is by the side of
the road and Jason punches him hard to the floor before Carter can
counteract Jason rushes to the hole Ryan made and sees his friend lying in a
heap.
At that point sirens are heard and Carter and co seem to vanish from
existence. As the emergency services arrive Jason stumbles back as a
policeman pulls him from the scene of carnage.
As the Paramedics see the destruction wrought the fire brigade clear the
area. Ryan’s lifeless body is brought out and Put down the paramedic lean
in to check his airway.
Paramedic#1:
He’s breathing
Jason jumps up as the other paramedic looks at his injuries
Paramedic#2:
Remain still your friend is still in danger
Jason:
Sorry
As Jason’s injuries aren’t minor the police would like a word the
paramedics deem it necessary that Ryan goes to the hospital.
Jason wants to go with him as he’s a family friend; the police allow this but
will want an incident report.
Carter shows up and sees the destruction and sees the police conversing
with the driver he walks away and drives off. The shot zooms out as the
police and fire people start clearing the streets. The paramedics and Jason
leave for the hospital.
FADE OUT
FADE IN
The hospital waiting room with Jason sat in one place and Ryan’s family

Carrie:
Carter
Mr Loren:
Carter why have I heard that name before
Felix:
He’s the school jock
Mr Loren:
No, he’s famous for the school but why are him and Ryan even close?, they are at
different end so of the spectrum.
Claudia:
You know that Ryan has had a lot of detentions
Mr Loren:
Why don’t I like the sound of this?
Jason:
Well there have been a lot of fights culminating in detentions and near suspensions
Mr Loren steps forward and looks wide eyed and very angry as jason steps
back a bit.
Mr Loren:
He’s been fighting with this meat head what the hell why have I just been told and if he
survives this he better bloody hide.
Claudia:
You think we wanted to keep this a secret we had to your not the talking kind daddy.
Mr Loren:
He has brought shame to me and I won’t have it I gave him the benefit of the doubt last
time and this is how he repays me
Mrs Loren:
He didn’t mean it I told him to be on his best behaviour.
Mr Loren:
Yeah!! Look where it got you
Carrie walks in looks wide eyed.
Carrie:
HEY!!
Mr Loren turns round
Carrie:
He has done nothing but help you and you’ve made him small and insignificant, He has
tried to keep away from carter but he’s an easy target and they have attacked, Now he
lies there not knowing what has happened and some shit gets away with it.
Mr Loren:
This Carter I want him
Jason:
I shouldn’t say but I will just let it go Carter is nothing but a punk we have to focus on
Ryan
The doctor and nurse come in as Mr and Mrs Loren stand up.
Doctor:
Your son is stable he’s got several broken bones that have been fixed but the damage is
more psychological he is in a coma and currently isn’t responding to revival treatments.
As the news sinks in Felix gets angry whereas Claudia looks sullen Carrie is
comforted by Jason and Mr Loren looks shocked.
Doctor:
Most cases of coma aren’t that bad we hope that we can get some response soon but
each case will differ.
Mr Loren:
Will we be able to see him?
Nurse:
Yes I can take you right away
The nurse takes them out of the family room and takes them to Ryan, as
they enter, camera pans out to see the extent of his damages and what has
happened, he is lying breathing but not responding.
Mrs Loren steps forward and grabs Ryan’s still hand.
Mrs Loren:
You’re a fighter my little man you’ll pull through.
Nurse:
I am sorry but I will have to ask you to leave visiting hours are tomorrow you all need
your rest, and so does he.
As they are ushered out Jason turns round and salutes Ryan, Carrie seems
more upset and the rest of the family comfort each other.
FADE OUT
Montage of Ryan in hospital and Carter at school people have seen the
news reports and the rumours seem true Carter tries to talk to Melissa she
slaps him and walks away, Jason is in hiding but gets rumbled as carter
goes near him the actual bully Todd comes out and acts as an enforcer to
protect him with Carters image going downhill Ryan has become a sort of
martyr.
Several Scenes of Ryan’s school, friends and family visiting him even an
unlikely guest. Jason is reading him Comics, Claudia reads him fashion and
Felix reads men’s magazines. His mum and dad care for him his dad
mentioning current affairs and politics.
FADE OUT
FADE IN
Ryan’s room, his hair has grown and facial hair has appeared. The door
opens and a set of feet they walk towards the bed and then sit in the chair
shown in shot. Camera moves out to reveal Carrie who is distraught.
Carrie:
I have come to the conclusion in the last few weeks that I can’t go on without the
support from you. J and I need you Ryan you’re the integral part of our lives even the
independent Meg needs you she misses your smile.
As Ryan lays there Carrie pulls out a letter.
Carrie:
I know this is weak and you hate me for it but I wrote this as I was away at summer
camp with him!!!
(Dear Ryan, I know we have been distant for the last several month’s but not a day goes
by that I don’t think of you and how I miss you, You said what does it take to be Human
to me, and I never answered, I believe to be human is to show signs of emotion and be
fortuitous in what you do and how not to let anything bring you despair, You taught me
how to overcome adversity and blossom, these little things you have done make me
wish I was there but I am here you are there even if you don’t write I would like to think
your thinking of me somehow.
Love, Carrie
As the letter is read out Ryan’s face is contorting taking in what is read out.
As Carrie doesn’t see any change she gets up and leaves tearfully she leans
over and kisses Ryan on the forehead and leaves a tear drops down and
sparks him to wake his hand twitches with a pulse of static between the
fingers. She leaves unaware.
Ryan slowly moves his hands and his eyes slowly open he is unsure where
he is. He gets up and pulls the cords attached to his skin and moves off the
bed, He walks towards the window and looks out seeing how rainy it is.
His eyes pan round he sees Carrie run towards a car he grips the ledge and
his emotions get the better of him he grips hard leaving a definite imprint
and walks back to the bed.
The nurse walks in and shocked to see him awake and walking round fine
he looks up confused.
Ryan:
Where am I and what happened?
Nurse:
Remarkable you don’t remember do you
Ryan:
I remember a car and something to do with electricity.
Nurse:
Yeah you have been in a coma for several weeks and were thought to have been
paralysed.
As Ryan takes this in he grabs a drink and then crushes the glass in surprise
he has cuts but doesn’t feel the pain. The nurse grabs some bandaging and
then calls the doctor. He arrives.
Doctor:
This is very remarkable you show no sign of paralysis yet no signs of trauma
Ryan:
What’s happened to me?
Doctor:
As my colleagues said you were in a coma and haven’t had any side effect, you were
struck by a car then electrocuted and brought back to life and you should be bound to a
wheelchair with the injuries. But you walk and breathe as I see.
Ryan sits down on the bed he is left alone by the nurse and doctor as he
takes in the extent of what happened he drops his head and balls his hands
into fists as he looks up electricity moves around them the camera pans
back.
FADE OUT

Melissa kisses him full he pushes her back
Ryan:

Melissa:

Ryan:

Without hesitation Melissa leaves, Ryan hangs his head and walks to the
barn he was in, he looks around and has a sudden rage without realizing it
he unleashes a bolt of power from his hand and makes a piece of paper
smoulders he looks shocked and just ignore it.
He jumps from his position and hits a pylon and grips onto it he swings
round and smiles he lands down on his feet and heads to the house.
As he walks the camera pans round to him in the foreground walking and
the piece of paper is seen smouldering.

The two men go to the boot and bring out a person revealing the person to
be Sanizare’s wife.
Braga:

As Sanizare looks shocked Dessi and Joey jump on the boat and bring out
pistols Filipo has a rifle aimed at Sanizare, Lucio tethers the boat and grabs
Sanizares wife and hangs her near the edge.
Sanizare:

A newspaper with the local headline of a man and women found burned on
a boat as the camera pans out we sees its being read by Mr Loren sat at the
dinner table eating breakfast. Ryan walks in and sees this he turns but Mr
Loren drops the paper.
Mr Loren:
Ryan glad you could join me, not to high are you
Ryan:
Hey Mitch
Mr Loren:
Please call me dad
Ryan:
Ok
Mr Loren:
What you got planned today?
Ryan:
Going to hang with Jason
Mr Loren:
Just don’t do anything ridiculous and be careful
Ryan:
I will be
Ryan grabs some food and heads to his car the looks towards the barn he
walks in and climbs up to see how high he jumped he whistles grabs onto a
bar and jumps down hanging as he pulls up with great strength but ends up
pulling the bar loose he smiles and dumps it to one side. Looking back at
what he can do he kicks a pillar hurts his foot but sees he’s left a dent in it
and a small crack, he limps away but the pain subside quickly. He walks to
his car and drives off to see Jason.
As he pulls up to Jason’s he sees a very plush car driving off he stops as it
goes by looks at it but can’t tell who it is. He gets out and greets Jason.
Ryan:
Who was that?
Jason:
No one important, let’s chill
Ryan:
Yeah
They go into Jason’s basement which has a secret lock and there is a large
chemistry set?
Jason:
My uncle wants me to look at these drugs that are mixed and matched.
As they sit down Jason and Ryan just laugh and start playing a console,
after a while Jason and Ryan talk.
Jason:
Look I spoke to Megan and she told me that you and Carrie got close last night but she
ended up crying.
Ryan:
That took 24hours that’s quick.
Jason:
Look it isn’t my business but she is worried we all are bud.
Ryan:
Um fine I just want my life back on track I just have issues I need to sort out.
Jason:
Look I know the next few days will be tough you just have to see what you can do.
Ryan:
Yeah man
As the day wares on Ryan and Jason have some lunch and then head there
separate ways as Ryan leave he sees the car he saw earlier parked up the
street he ignores it and drives off as he does it pulls out and pulls up to
Jason’s house his uncle Lucio gets out.
As Ryan leaves Jason goes into his basement start doing pharmaceuticals
Jason is making a really big concoction with some of the drugs camera pans
around watching him tick boxes and think of drugs that will cancel each
other out using their effects after several different tries he comes up with
silver shaped. Jason’s Uncle Lucio arrives and they converse.
Jason:
I have here an amalgamation of Methodrone and Cannabis; I’ve ground them up then
boiled them to make them look like a liquid I’ve put them in a silver nitrate capsule so i
call it quicksilver, The two drugs should weight each other out i.e when you get
paranoid you just get back to reality with the methadrone.
Lucio:
How do you know it works?
Jason:
I don’t its pure guessing I just thought it sounds really cool with the name
Lucio:
Quicksilver, how will the person know it’s good?
Jason:
Well I have the calculations here look weed can make you paranoid methadrone makes
you buzz, now with paranoia setting in then the buzz part it gets better.
Lucio:
You will make us rich little nephew but your mom and pops must never know ok
Jason:
It’s pure equilibrium you must know what works, sure uncle.
As Jason makes more drugs lucio pulls out his phone and talks to Dessi who
seems happy, lucio lets out a sigh.
Jason:
I’m just the chemist we test it then we sell it and get some monies
Luico:
We just need a dealer now?
Jason:
Hey, what about one of your friends
Lucio:
Braga would never go for that.
Jason:
Braga? He’s that crime lord from downtown Montrose
Lucio:
Yeah and
Jason:
Dad wants him bad
Lucio:
Well he’ll have to wait he’s in hiding
Jason:
He killed those people from the boat; Mom and Dad were arguing about it today, he left
to investigate.
Lucio:
As far as I’m concerned they assume I’m in Italy got that bro.
Jason:
Yes Luke,
Lucio:
Hey its lucio now
A Lucio hands over some money to Jason he embraces him and leaves the
house with the stash of drugs developed. As he does he brings out a locket
of him and the family he nods and just goes to the car. He drives off.
Cut to
Ryan pulling up to a shop as he gets out, Harry is seen stood behind him not

Ryan just lashes out hard making Harry stumble back he punches Ryan
who glances the blow and then kicks hard which makes him stumble Harry
gets up and just looks surprised, He gets up but Ryan growls and lands a
blow to his sternum when he tries again harry moves, he hits his hand on
the concrete and it breaks he grunts but harry has already ran away before
he can regain composure. He goes to his car and drives to the hospital.
As he drives to the hospital his anger subsides he arrives and checks
himself in after an X-ray scan he finds that h has broken his wrist after
being bandages he goes home, he arrives home and its quite late he enters
the house.
Mr Loren:
Ryan is that you were in the kitchen teas nearly ready?

Claudia:
Ryan what has happened to you?
Ryan:
It’s nothing just a bruise
Claudia:
No that’s a serious problem what happened?
Ryan:
I bumped into harry there just broken but will heal. You can’t say anything.
Claudia shakes her head as Ryan goes up to his room and locks the door
and just looks at his school paper work, he looks up at the clock. 18:10
He put his head down and start going through the work. Montage of Ryan
doing his work and occasionally checking his phone for a message he seems
to get up and walk around and then sit back down. He looks up at the time
as he finishes the last page of his work. 22:43
He sighs and puts his hands on his head despite the cast being there he
closes his eyes his computer beeps. He goes over to check who messaged
him it’s from Jason, he smiles.
Split screen of both of them. Conversation as follows camera shows both
smiling and shaking head
(Jason: dude, how’s it going what you been doing?
Ryan: Nothing much just catching up with work for tomorrow, what you

Jason: Dude that was maybe dangerous as carter wants your head
Ryan: I don’t care I got more pressing issues with school and my family
Jason: Cool dude well I‘ll see you tomorrow kind of beat. Piece

Ryan looks at the state of his room he just shrugs grabs some Tylenol and
takes a couple of tablets and heads towards his bed. He instantly shuts his
eyes.

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP
Sheets moving and someone groans, they get crumpled and Ryan wakes up,
the sun shines into the room he gets out of bed and walks over to his closet,
he gets changed and goes downstairs. He enters the family room which has
Mr and Mrs Loren in everything seems to stop as he has his wrist in a cast.
Mr Loren looks agitated Mrs Loren looks scared; Felix enters and smiles
then sees the wrist.
Felix;

Felix leaves and goes thought to the lounge shutting the door behind him.
Mr Loren:

Cynthia Loren:

Ryan looks shocked as his mom doesn’t normally get angry and Mitch just
sighs and nods
Ryan grabs some food and heads towards the door Mr Loren heads after
him he stops.
Mitch Loren:

Ryan:
I will don’t worry just give me time and I’ll get through
Ryan heads out the door and goes to his car and just recollects what his dad
had just said. He opens the door and when he slams it nearly breaks the
door off it buckles he looks at it weirdly and hammers the steering wheel
which leaves a dent. He frowns then starts the car and drives of towards
Jason’s house.
He picks Jason who smiles as he enters the car they set off to school.
Cut To
School parking lot with people looking round Ryan pulls into the school

school principal area and walks slowly.
As he arrives at Principal Rowell’s office he walks in, the principal is sat

Carrie:

Ryan:

As they walk to class they look at each other at separate times then look
away but each time they are smiling, they arrive at class with the teacher
giving them a cockeyed look they then head to the back with Jason giving
Ryan the thumbs Megan hits him then smiles.
As the day pans out Ryan and Carrie have respect for each other on whole
new level as they seem to have made up as the day draws to an end they
head home.
The next two days Ryan has it easy at school settling in and trying to get his
grades back up to scratch he helps. Montage of him working and getting
closer to Carrie.
As Ryan is at school a flyer is handed out to him and he picks it up looking
at the flyer he frowns Jason comes up to him.
Jason:

Jason looks round and hands Ryan the drug quicksilver he smiles and
hands it back, the bell goes as they head to their next class a lot of the flyers
are being handed out.
As school ends they walk away and head towards the car park.
Jason:
Pick me up later this is going to be buzzing end of year party ha ha ha
Ryan:
Does your drug work?
Jason walks away upon hearing the question as he hasn’t truly tested the
drug Ryan assumes he hasn’t heard and heads home.
Later that night Ryan is getting ready for the party Claudia knocks on the
door has he’s preparing.
Claudia:

Ryan:
Going out what are you doing?
Claudia:

Claudia:

Ryan:

Claudia:
I mean it Ryan Its good having you back we don’t want to lose you again
Ryan smiles as he gets ready Claudia leaves for pre drinks.
As the night starts to pick up the party at the abandoned building is kicking
off, kegs are being passed out some people are joking around people are
conversing Ryan arrives with Carrie and they seems to be a couple as they
dance and play, Jason arrives with a bag full of drugs and smiles as he
throws them around.
Claudia is at the party she nods towards Ryan as not to impose on his
space. He jumps round as the night wears on people are hooking up,
sleeping or leaving. Claudia finds one of the drugs on the side and takes it
as the drug kicks in she over exerts herself And dances as she does she
starts to have a heart attack as she overdoses on the drug, people round her
see this some scream others panic.
Ryan is watching this he doesn’t realize its Claudia till the last minute
He runs down the stairs and grabs he as she cardiac arrests.
Ryan:
Phone an ambulance!!!!!
As Claudia starts to OD the party starts to die down some people scatter as
Ryan holds her she stops moving.
Ryan:
No, NO!!!!
Some people look shocked Ryan looks into her eyes and sees that there
lifeless, a tear rolls down his cheek he stands angry and looks around he
sees Jason outside conversing with Carter and Co, Letting his anger get the
better of him he runs hard and fast and spears Jason hard as he kinds he
stands.
Ryan:

Ryan:

Ryan walks away as Jason looks round as people walk away and the police
start to hurdle people from the scene of the crime. Ryan sits down at his car
as Felix is waiting for him.
Ryan:
Sorry
Felix:
Don’t be just let me be
Felix gets into his car and drives off. Ryan hangs his head a tear falls from
his face and the rain sets in a he realizes what a bad night it was. He gets in
the car and closes his eyes for a moment.
The next day Ryan’s family are at the hospital.
Doctor:
Overnight her status was critical we have worked round the clock and her status is
stable
The family looked relieved as they embrace one another and ask to go and
see her as they enter the room Ryan looks at Claudia asleep and realizes
what his family went through with him he leaves the room as he can’t
handle it he walks to the parking lot his dad comes after him.
Mr Loren:
Why did you leave?
Ryan:
I now know what you went through with me and for that I apologize
Mr Loren:
Well you’re a fighter and so is Claudia
Ryan:

Mr Loren:

Ryan:

Mr Loren:
But nothing you did what you had to do just be thankful you saved her and didn’t leave.
Ryan:

Mr Loren:
Look, go easy and come back and see her ok
After another long day, Ryan drives home but sees there is traffic he takes a
different route and sees a gang harassing a lady he stops and gets, he runs
over and pushes one of the thugs.
Ryan:
Hey back off
Thug#1:
You gonna get it dick head
Thug#2:
Let’s carve him up
Ryan stands between the old lady as the thugs circle as one comes at him
he blocks then punches hard and fast but he gets hit from behind by the
other one he falls to one knee and blocks to separate hits he then flicks his
wrist shooting a bolt from it electrocuting the man a little the other stands
back shocked he brings a knife out and thrusts it at him as he does Ryan
palms it off all though he gets slashed several times not noticing he then
rushes forward and head butts the guy hard he lands on the floor and grab
his head as he does the man lets a gasp out as Ryan drains the man’s life
out of him.
Ryan stands back shocked the other man stands
Thug#2:
Benj, what did you do
Enraged the man runs at him Ryan ducks under the swinging weapon and
then lands a punch to the back of the man’s head he falls hard and dies,
Ryan shocked at what has happened runs as the old woman he rescued
tries to come too to say thank you.
He runs back to his car and speeds off and stops somewhere random he
can’t bring himself to go home he looks around and sees that he’s in carries
neighbourhood.
As he looks around he sees her and tries to hide but she recognizes the car.
Carrie:
What are you doing here?
Ryan:
Um.. I ... um need help
Carrie:
Ryan what happened? Why are you covered in blood?
Ryan:
Saved someone
Carrie:
Let’s get you in side now
As Ryan gets escorted into Carrie’s house he seems to be in a state of shock
he gets taken to the bathroom and Carrie assesses his wounds seeing
several cuts that look deep he smiles as she cleans him up, after a long
silence she speaks.
Carrie:
Ryan, what happened?
Ryan:
I was driving after Claudia’s accident.
Carrie:
Meg Called me about it, sorry
Ryan:
Well, two thugs attacking a lady so I tried to stop them one but as they attacked I fended
them off, but they got me badly.
Carrie:
You did the right thing but you also risked your life.
As she cleans him up she switches on the TV which is immediately on the
news.
(Noise off TV)
Ryan:
I have to leave
Carrie:
You didn’t do anything wrong
Ryan:
I killed two people to save a lady something isn’t right in me
Carrie:
What do you mean?
Ryan grabs a bat and hits himself hard.
Carrie:
Ryan
Ryan:
I can’t feel pain ever since that accident something inside didn’t feel right.
Carrie:
So you’re saying what
Ryan:
I have strength that I can’t understand, powers of some kind
Carrie:
Ryan this sounds really weird.
Ryan:
That coma something changed inside my body when I went out something brought me
back I don’t know what but it is weird
Carrie:
Are you some sort of hero?
Ryan:
I don’t know it’s all weird and I have to sort myself out
Carrie:
I am here just so you know?
Ryan:
I know but I just need to have space sorry
Carrie:
Don’t just walk away
As Ryan walks away Carrie grabs his arm and they end up kissing intently
as he pulls back she looks into his eyes he kisses her back and then he
stops.
As he leaves he lets out a sigh and smiles at her he walks back and leads her
into her room as they romantically kiss they strip, Montage as they make
love and showing them engaging as they reach climax an electrical current
flows through them. They remain content as he leaves she sees him go but
knows he’ll be back.
He goes home and sneaks to the barn where he locks himself in and starts a
training session with his powers he unplugs equipment and shoots
lightning bolts at them to make them work, each one sparks to life but
shorts out as the power he is using is too powerful. He tries to harness his
abilities by looking through comic books about people with electrical
powers he grabs some water and sees what happens if he puts his hand in
it the water sparks to life then shatters the glass. He jumps back scared he
discovers that he has better athleticism by lifting heavier items like his
car’s front but he also discovers that it he can feel no pain but can hurt
himself.
He looks through some of his biological dad’s real possessions and finds a
diving suit he modifies it by adding armour to it and also finds a mask that
he sews to the suit. He dons the suit and tries it out and doesn’t feel
constricted. He changes back and hides the costume but feels confused he
looks at his wounds and notices there healing better he leaves the barn and
heads to the house he finds his mom in the kitchen.
Mrs Loren:

Fade Out
Fade in
A group of people stood around some smoking others packing up
equipment. One of the forms steps forward and comes into the light. It’s
Jason.
Jason:
Right, this little beauty is called quicksilver. (Holding up a small silver capsule)
Men:
OOhh!!!
Braga:
Does it work?
Braga steps forward with Filipo and Joey everyone steps back Lucio steps
forward in front of Jason.
Jason:
Yes it does just needs tweaking
Braga:
Well I will watch over you as you’re a KID!!!
Lucio:
I’ll be watching him and he’s adverse to chemistry
Joey:
Sanizare said that he blabbed now we are low on funds
Braga:
Well if it doesn’t work we will kill Lucio then Jason But I will take it in faith he’s good
because I trust Lucio.
As the candour goes down Jason shows Braga and the other gang members
how the drug works by taking inebriated junkies and giving them the drug
as this happens Jason narrates over the euphoria they go through.
(Jason: The drug works as a capsule now the scientific part is when the amalgamation of
Methodrone and Cannabis; they’ve been ground up then boiled to a liquid I’ve put them in
a transparent capsule so call it quicksilver, The two drugs offer a euphoric and ecstasy
style vibe and give a an internal bliss but the interesting fact is they disable the junkies
abilities so he must have more and freeze his mind)
Braga seeing enough of the experiment nods towards Joey he takes four
men inside the room and as the junkies are ignorant of them Joey and the
men fire killing them instantly. Braga turns to Jason who has frozen too the
spot.
Braga:
Now how much these will drugs cost as they need to be cheap to make but high to sell
and are they traceable.
Jason:
No they aren’t they are non traceable but the ingredients are hard to come by so we
have to make a decision to find out how to get them there is a special ingredient in the
drug.
Braga:
What is that?
Jason:
That would be telling
Braga:
Tell me now
Jason:
Opium it’s easy to use and there are no complications with it
Braga:
That’s the key ingredient another drug
Jason:
No, the opium renders them inebriated and therefore the other drugs work there effect
it’s very simple when you put your mind to it but it won’t cost much to get the opium I
have a supply to make at least 1,000 pills you make up the price of what you charge
As Jason walks away Lucio and Braga start to discuss terms about what to
sell the drug at as he looks to where the people were killed he looks back
and shudders.
Cut To
Ryan stood on top of a building looking at downtown Montrose and in his
full super hero gear he scans the area and uses his eagle eye sense to look
for trouble he jumps down and to a ledge and hears a noise on instinct he
jumps round and brings a mace to bare that he made. He hears a scream
and runs towards it he uses the electricity powers he has to find the person
being mugged he jumps from the shadows and finds that its one man
attacking a lady he steps forward the mugger turns round
Mugger:
What the fuck?
Ryan:
I am Syth-x Resist and there will be trouble
Mugger:
Fuck this (He shoots ryan)
Ryan:
Argh!!!!
Ryan falls back as the mugger turns round he rises back up, the mugger
runs in despair
Mugger:
Huh!
The mugger raises the gun as he does Ryan rushes him and smashes his
arm with the mace as he lets out a cry Ryan grabs him and throws him into
a Dumpster, As he rises Ryan walks over as he gets to Ryan swings the
mace knocking the man back and gravely wounding him, the mugger
staggers back Ryan shoots a bolt of electricity at him stunning him he then
ties him up in some wire but the police have been called as they arrive
Ryan rushes off before they can see him they stop and see the man and look
confused as his victim is out cold.
Officer#1:
Who did this?
Officer#2:
I don’t know but he looks gravely injured
Officer#1:
That’s the third time this week
As the camera pans back we travel back to Ryan’s house and several Nights
of him fighting crime have taken their toll as he takes his top off after the
last skirmish we see a very grave knife wound and several bullet holes and
various other scarification wounds, as he patches himself up. The camera
cuts to Jason and how he has been working very productively on
Quicksilver and how he’s lost sense of what is ethical to him and has even
used a gun he is seen by Lucio as a budding partner in crime we see
thousands of boxes of quicksilver being loaded on to them then driving off.
Lucio:
Look you have to be very sly about what you’re doing nephew if your Father finds out
your dead.
Jason:
I’ve got it under control I haven’t even told my best friend.
Cut To
The other side of town, to an abandoned warehouse where the police are
Jason’s father leading the investigation and in the rafter Syth-x observing
them.
Detective Mazzini:
Look for any clues there has to be something anything
Officer#1:
There is no trace sir they seem to be tipped off before we have found tire tracks in three
directions.
Detective Mazzini:
Okay we’ll get some rest take anything that looks like it’ll hold prints, and beware of that
costumed man.
Officer#2:
Syth-x
Detective Mazzini:
Yeah he’s more trouble than he’s worth
As the all leave the camera zooms out to show the area and from the
background Syth-x walks out and scans the room as he steps back he
stands on something he bends down to pick it up, its a test tube that has a
silver liquid dried to it
Syth-x:
Quicksilver (He Shakes his head)
As he throws the discarded tube down, he sprints out of the door towards
the night the camera pans down to the tube.
FADE OUT
A car is at a gas station filling up with petrol Jason gets out and looks
around while two of the goons are just mucking around. Syth-x jumps down
and sees the car and a van parked further up with the drugs in he walks
forward, as the cars nearly full the goon looks up looks wide eyed.
Goon#1:
It’s the masked freak
As Syth-x is walking he brings out his mace and throws it directly at the
goon as he grabs his gun the mace impacts knocking him down.
Jason runs as the other two goons get out and engage syth0x one fire he
dodges and fires a bolt at him he drops to the floor the other one sneaks up
and hits him with a baseball bat. Syth-x crashes to the floor as several more
men appear from the parked van.
Goon#2:
Hey, get over here now!!!(Raises the bat above head)
Syth-x:
Bring it
As the man swings the bat Syth-x rolls to one side letting his arm take the
force as he does this he brings up his other arm and fires a surge into the
man draining him of his life force and killing him he rolls back as he gets
several men surrounding him, Jason has ran to the van and driven off
leaving Syth-x to deal with as Syth-x stands with one arm damaged he
grabs his mace and swings it wildly.
Syth-x:
Come on!!
Goon#4:
GET HIM!!
The goons engage Syth-x who swing his mace into one goon shooting
others he trades blows with each of them falling to the floor and trying to
keep them at a distance, He takes several wounds but is still standing he
jumps up pummelling one then runs passed two more as they give chase he
slides over a passing car running into the darkness.
Cut To
Back at the van Lucio and Jason get out, Jason looks round at the men.
Jason:
He ran that way now follow him and finish the job the rest in the van and let’s get
moving.
Several of the men look confused. Lucio looks at them and nods
Lucio:
You heard the man you three finish the job take these (Hands the men heavy machine
guns)
As the three men walk off the rest get in the vehicles and drive.
Syth-x is wounded and running through the streets the men aren’t far
behind him he gets hit from behind and falls as a bullet penetrates his
armour, He grunts and quickly runs to cover as the men come round
shouting obscenities.
Goon#1:
Syth-x come on you masked freak
Syth-x looks at where they are as they fire more into the darkness he grabs
his mace and taps it. The men hearing this split up and go to hunt him as he
is waiting he swings the mace and kills one man instantly he jumps as the
other shout.
Goon#2:
Hey Mike where are you
Goon#3;
Yeah stop fucking around this was supposed to be quick and easy.
A shadow appears as they see it
Goon#3:
He’s over there lets go
As they walk toward a shadow it’s their dead friend Syth-x appears from
behind them as they realize it’s too late he fires several bolts toward them
they get hit and fall to the floor, He walks over and hits one killing him
instantly as he grabs the other one and ties him up to a fence and intends to
interrogate him.
He circles him and walks over to the fence using his electrical powers
Goon#2:
AARGGHH!!!
Syth-x:
Where are they heading?
Goon#2:
I don’t know what you mean!!
Syth-x:
Don’t test my patience!!! (Electrocuting the fence, man winces in pain)
Goon#2:
You don’t know who you’re dealing with!!!
Syth-x:
No you don’t know you’re dealing with!!!!!
Syth-x electrifies the fence making the man scream in pain and shout out.
Goon#2:
Kill me I won’t tell you anything!!!!
Syth-x:
Good I’m bored
Syth-x steps back as the man looks wide eyed and fearful Syth-x builds up
and energy burst and fires it forward and causes several blocks to blackout.

No it be a mistake to let him live
While Mazzini and Syth-x converse Lucio pull out a gun shoot’s at Mazzini
the bullet strikes syth-x and goes through to hit Mazzini they both collapse
and Lucio runs to his car.
Mazzini grunts as Syth-x pushes himself off and tries walks away leaving a
blood trail, Mazzini looks at his shirt covered in blood and pulls the bullet
from his Kevlar vest. Mazzini stands and grabs syth-x.
Detective Mazzini:
You need to get help
Syth-x:
No.... I’m.... fine.... (Struggled breathes)
Detective Mazzini:
No your lungs punctured and you could die
Syth-x:
I need... (Collapses)
Mazzini grabs him and takes him to his car while holding the wound he
drives to the hospital and watches as they take him in Mazzini stands back
as they cut his clothes they grab his mask.
Detective Mazzini:
Leave the mask!!!!!
As the doctors heed the warning they cut the top half of Syth-x costume and
see the wounds that he’s gained. Mazzini looks at the body and recognizes
he’s a teenager he slumps back into a chair. As more cops arrive Mazzini
grabs a coffee and sits down his wife arrives briefly.
Mrs Mazzini:
What happened why are you covered in Blood?
Detective Mazzini:
I was stopping a criminal and then he pulls a gun i had my vest so it was ok but syth-x
jumped out and then got shot.
Mrs Mazzini:
So you brought him here
Detective Mazzini:
He was shot badly but he’s a kid he’s just a kid saving lives
Mrs Mazzini:
He’s a kid!!!
Detective Mazzini:
Yeah a kid!!!!!
As Detective and Mrs Mazzini watch over Syth-x they look concerned the
doctor confirms Syth-x will live so they both leave him to rest Mazzini
orders a man to watch over him and that on no circumstances is the mask
to be removed.
Cut to
Lucio sat in his car holding his gun and ashamed that he shot at his brother
he puts the gun on the dashboard as he awaits other members of Braga’s
gang. He sits the gun on the dashboard and pulls out the clip and empties
the chamber.
Back at the hospital Syth-x vital signs go down but they come back up
Detective Mazzini arrives and just looks at the child and hangs his head Mrs
Mazzini arrives and sees her husband looking in. He turns to her and
comforts her.
Mrs Mazzini:
When this case is over can we take a holiday?
Detective Mazzini:
No, I’ll think I’ll retire I’m getting on and I want to spend time with J
As they look on at syth-x motionless they share an intimate embrace as
they think about the future.
Fade out
Jason sat in class looking round he spots the empty chair where Ryan was
sat he holds his head to down and looks up as Megan and Carrie seem
distant to him he looks on and sighs. He grabs his earphone and tunes into
the news as he hears a report that syth-x has been wounded and is at the
local hospital, he smiles and waits for the class to end.
As the bell rings he leaves abruptly with Megan chasing him.
Megan:
Jason we need to talk.
Jason:
What about?
Megan:
You’ve been a recluse we hardly see you
Jason:
That was a choice you made to ignore me!!
Megan:
J we miss you
Jason:
You chose his side.
Megan looks aghast as Jason walks off and she doesn’t know what to say he
looks back as she looks upset as a crowd gathers she disappears and he
heads to his car. He gets in and pulls a gun from the glove box. He looks at
the chamber and makes sure it’s loaded, he tarts the car and makes a move
to the hospital.
He arrives and parks he hides the gun in a pocket and puts the safety on he
looks around and sees two police cars and his dad’s car he frowns and
makes way to the hospital
As he enters he looks at security and the reception and hides and looks for
another way he gets past both and finds member of staff
Jason:
Excuse me, could you tell me where fatal injuries would be
Attendant:
They would be in the ICU on the 5th floor
Jason:
Thank you
With the information Jason leaves and heads up stairs to the fifth floor he
smiles and grabs some flowers as a goodwill gesture he arrives and looks
around for any policeman he sees none he looks at an empty reception desk
and grabs the chart with syth-x and his expression turns to joy as he walks
towards it. When he arrives he sees a policeman sat in the chair. He hides
just in case he gets spotted.
By pure coincidence the police officer I stood Jason sees him stand and
holding a hot cup, with instant thinking Jason runs out and collides with the
man.
Jason:
Come on after me.....
Jason looks behind and then runs into the officer the cups liquid flies and
hits him in the lap.
Officer:
ARGH!!! Son of a bitch
Jason:
Sorry sir
Officer:
I’m going have a word with you when I get back
The officer walks off disgruntled Jason follows him and sees him leave as he
does he puts his hood up and walks over to the room he brings out the gun
he has hidden and brings up a desert scarf and walks in and locks the door.
He turns round to see syth-x lying motionless in bed with his wounds he
shakes his head and walks around the bed. Silent for a few minutes he
speaks.
Jason:
You’re on Braga’s hit list big time and he is pissed your even a life now and by god he’s
gonna pay me big once I kill you but first I want to see the man behind the mask!!!!!!!
Jason steps forward and makes a grab at the mask he hesitates then shakes
and rips it off he steps back shocked and completely stunned.
Jason:
No, no you’re not him you can’t be that is not cool, we were like brothers and this is the
ultimate betrayal!!!!!!
Syth-x stirs his eyes open as he sees Jason stood a few feet back with a gun
pointed at him he smiles.
Ryan:
So you are going to shoot the hero and reap the glory
Jason:
Shut up!!! Ok shut up!!!!!
Ryan:
You better kill me because that’s the way it works one lives the other dies
Jason:
No I can’t
Ryan:
Then I’ll kill you and everyone you have associated with once I get out
Jason steps forward following the threat and shakes the gun at Sythx/Ryan, Meanwhile he sits up and feels for the bullet wound he looks down
and smiles.
Jason:
You were shot
Ryan:
Lucio, the irony is I saved your father as they were having a scuffle (Winces as he leans
to one side)
Jason:
No, you’e lying that isn’t true
Ryan:
Really!! Here (Slowly brings out the bullet Lucio shot at Jason’s dad)
Jason:
Proves nothing
Ryan:
It’s the cop killer only Lucio uses titanium bullets
Jason:
Shut up!!!!! You have betrayed me and tried to sabotage my works
Ryan:
(Leans forward and looks directly into Jason’s eyes tears appear) My Sister ingested your
convoluted drug and OD she could have died THE DAY THAT HAPPENED WE WERE NO
LONGER FIRENDS!!!!!!!
Jason steps back and looks a bit shocked at the accusation.
Jason:
I apologized and then you all shut me out so I became an outcast, so here I am to finish
what we started (He raises the gun and smiles)
Ryan has had a blade hidden behind his bed that was embedded into his
uniform he pulled it out while Jason was talking as Jason steps forward to
fire Ryan dodges to one side Bang, As Jason fires Ryan dodges and throws
the blade it sticks into Jason’s hand meanwhile the bullet grazes Ryan’s
shoulder he jumps forward and lands a blow on Jason face he head butts
him and grabs his mask he pulls it on and Rushes through the door as it
splits apart three security men have shown up as Syth-x appears they have
guns aimed at him. Syth-x bunches his fist as the men ready to fire.
Detective Mazzini arrives with Four officers and run into the stand off.
Detective Mazzini:
Back down now!!!
Syth-x:
No you guys first
Detective Mazzini:
This is not helpful step back (said to the security)
As they step back Syth-x looks round and steps towards an escape route
Mazzini stops him as he blocks it the three security officers back away with
guns held up. Syth-x keeps his fists balled up and looks around a the people
he is unsure of he keeps a safe distance and as Mazzini is just about to say
something Jason smashes through the door fires his gun in a rage and hits
one of the security guards everyone ducks Syth-x runs down the corridor
and sees a window he sprints towards it. He goes through it and rolls into
the road he stands and dodges a car and runs down an alley, Jason ran in
the opposite direction and escapes through a fire door.
Detective Mazzini ran after the latter and looks to where Syth-x ran too he
shakes his head and mutters something to himself. He turns round and
walks to where syth-x room was he looks around and finds a knife that has
blood on it, he picks it up and leaves the room shutting the door behind.
Fade out
Syth-x is at his house looking round and sat on the roof he has been missing

around Felix and Claudia arrive and both bang on the door
Felix:
Hey we saw you come in what do you think you’re doing you freak
Claudia:
Felix what are you doing no ones in there? Ryan’s gone
Hearing the distress in Claudia voice Ryan runs to the door and put his
hand on the handle and hesitates to open it. Felix and Claudia walk away
feeling dejected. Ryan sits and just hangs his head as he knows he is
missing and that Jason now knows his secret he bangs the floor and goes
out through the window as he tried to fix the problems he’s caused.
