FADE IN:
Roll credits
A blazing meteor hurtles past Pluto, then Uranus, then
Saturn.
It charges into a thick mist of space dust.
MIST
The meteor zips past asteroids. It collides with several
asteroids shattering them into hundreds of burning
fragments.
The meteor soars out of the mist approaching Mars.
METEOR
It tumbles past Mars heading straight for Earth.
As the torrid meteor plunges past the moon, pieces of
debris from the meteor's tail crash onto the moon's
surface.
The dust settles, revealing newly created craters.
Burning fragments shred from the meteor plunging into the
Earth’s atmosphere.
EXT. WATERS OFF A HARBOR-CLEAR NIGHT
A private yacht floats calmly in the still water.
YACHT
Two shirtless drunken teenagers wearing khakis leans
against the rail at the rear of the boat.
TEENAGER ONE
Look at all the little fishies
swimming there. Hey, wanna see if
they like beer?
Teenager One pours beer over the side of the boat.
TEENAGER TWO
I always wanted to see what they
look like when they're getting a
buzz.
Teenager Two takes a swig of his beer, pours the rest overboard, then crushes the can
against his forehead.
TEENAGER TWO
OHHHHHH YEA!
Teenager Two tosses the crushed can overboard. He reaches
down and pulls out a cold beer from the cooler.
Page: 2 of 108
TEENAGER TWO
Dude! This beer kicks ass, where'd
you get this?
TEENAGER ONE
My old man, what kind of shit does
your old man have?
Teenager One finishes dumping the beer overboard. He tosses
the can into the water, then pulls out two cans of beer.
TEENAGER ONE
Yo, betcha fifty bucks I can chug
these two suckers down in one swing.
TEENAGER TWO
You’re on…you better fucking have
the money to back it up this time.
As Teenager One pops both cans open, the light from the burning meteor ignites the night
sky.
Both teenagers squint their eyes, gazing at the meteor.
TEENAGER TWO
Damn! What the hell is that?
The meteor heads straight for the yacht. Teenager One points at it.
TEENAGER ONE
Whatever the fuck it is, it’s
heading straight for us…
Both teenagers jump overboard.
The meteor disintegrates the yacht.
WATER
The two teenagers surface. They stare at the burning wreck, mouth ajar.
EXT. REAR OF THE SALVAGE BOAT OFF HARBOR-LATE MORNING
A curious crowd gathers along the harbor watching the salvage crew at work.
A mustached man wearing a "F.B.I." jacket leans over the railing. Behind him is a greasy
worker in flannels holding the crane's control in his hand with a lit cigarette between his
lips.
A diver pops out of the water; he tears his goggles off, spits his mouthpiece out, and
brushes his damp hair back.
FBI MAN
Is everything secured?
Diver gives a thumb up.
DIVER
Yea, everything is all secured, you
can lift her up whenever you're
ready.
The FBI Man gives a thumb up back to the diver.
Good.
FBI MAN
Page: 3 of 108
The diver grabs onto the side of the boat and tosses his goggles on the boat’s deck. He
looks up at the FBI Man and extends his hand out.
FBI Man helps the diver climb back in the boat.
DIVER
Thanks...
The diver un-holsters his air tank from his wetsuit, dropping it onto the deck, then walks
off.
The FBI Man waves to the crane operator.
FBI MAN
Ok, bring her up.
The crane operator presses a button on the control. The
crane lifts a green meteor sealed in a clear hard plastic
shield out of the water.
FBI MAN
Ok, bring her in, slowly...she's
worth more then you and me will ever
make.
The crane lifts the meteor above the boat's deck, and then
slowly lowers it.
FBI MAN
Careful now, careful...set it down
gently.
THUMP, the meteor hits the deck hard. The FBI Man’s face
flushes red.
FBI MAN
God damn it, I said be gentle with that thing!
Sorry boss.
CRANE OPERATOR
The crane operator removes the butt of his cigarette from
his mouth, tosses it to the floor, and grinds it under his
shoe.
INT. MEETING ROOM
The curtains in the room are pulled shut. Five suited men
sit around a rectangular conference table facing a large
television set building into the wall listening tentatively
to a mid-aged doctor in white medical lab coat at the head
of the table beside the projection screen.
The doctor remotely starts up a video footage of a doctor in a biohazard suit carrying a
frail monkey out of its cage to a surgical bench where he straps the monkey down.
DOCTOR
...We cultivated the foreign virus
extracted from the meteor and
injected a group of monkeys infected
Page: 4 of 108
with Ebola-Zaire using the samples
from the culture kept at the center
for disease control. I imagine all
of you are aware of the lethality of
Ebola...
The doctor forwards the footage to one showing the monkeys actively bouncing up and
down in a small confined room.
DOCTOR
This is an hour after initial
introduction of the viral strain...
Once again the doctor forwards the footage to that of a
blood sample under powerful microscope.
DOCTOR
We weren't sure why the monkeys
suddenly became healthy, so we
tested blood samples from each of
the monkeys...and there was no trace
of the Ebola virus found in the
blood samples...Nine additional
tests were conducted with duplicate
results.
The doctor forwards the footage again, showing the wild
monkeys locked in cages.
DOCTOR
We kept the group in isolation and
under constant surveillance for a
little more then a month, twice the
required time for Ebola to inhabit
and kill its host...as you can see,
the monkeys are quite healthy...and
very active.
The doctor skips the digital video to one showing a man in
his early thirties sitting on the edge of the bed holding
tightly onto his stomach. The room is dimly lit. He stares
straight ahead with bloodshot eyes as a medical person in a
biohazard suit injects him with a clear solution.
DOCTOR
Then, we moved on to testing the
viral culture on a human
subject...the subject's name is
William DeBaun, A captain in the US
Army Special Forces. He was
operating in Zaire when he
contracted Ebola...probably from
ingesting wild animals, namely
rodents.
On the TV screen, the nurse leaves DeBaun, who is still in his combat uniform, sitting on
the edge of his bed staring straight ahead.
DOCTOR
Mr. DeBaun's case is complicated
Page: 5 of 108
with the discovery that he not only
carries Ebola, but also the AIDS
virus. We never tested the sample on
AIDS carrying subjects, but due to
the short life expectancy for the
subject, which is approximately
anywhere been twenty-eight and forty
hours at the most. We went ahead and
injected him with a sample extracted
from the culture.
The doctor skips the footage to DeBaun doing sit-ups on the
floor.
DOCTOR
This is taken a day after treatment.
We tested his blood for both AIDS
and Ebola. The result came back
negative for filamentous particles
in his blood.
The doctor turns the TV off as he walks to the light switch by the door and turns it on.
DOCTOR
Gentlemen, what you have just
witnessed is a miracle unprecedented
in nature. This unknown virus holds
the key to the cure for many of the
deadliest infections known to
mankind.
(Beat)
The only side effect that we have
noticed in Mr. DeBaun is his
spontaneous increase in strength.
EXT. TUNNEL LEADING TO A DIGITALLY LOCKED SLIDING DOOR
A nurse wearing biohazard suit carries a tray of food
through the static free tunnel toward the sliding door.
The nurse inserts the tray into a slot in the wall, where
the tray is scanned as it slides through the wall. The
nurse enters her password on the digital keypad on the
metallic doorframe.
BEEP, the door slides open letting the nurse into the
static free room, then BEEP, CLICK, the door reseals itself
behind the nurse.
INT. CONTAINMENT ROOM
The nurse turns around to the slot on the wall removing the
tray from the slot.
NURSE
She turns around carrying the tray toward DeBaun who sits
on the edge of his bed in white T-shirt and pajamas
watching the film “Devil's Brigade“ on TV.
Page: 6 of 108
She sets the tray down on top of the nightstand beside the bed.
NURSE
Hello William, its time for dinner.
How are you feeling today?
DEBAUN
Like shit! I want out of this
inferno now!
NURSE
When you’re better, you're almost
recovered, be patient.
DeBaun stands up furious.
DEBAUN
No. Do you know how long it’s been
since I saw my wife, my kids, my dog
Rocky?
(Breaks down in tears)
I miss them...It's more than a
fucking year now. You people lied to
me. You told me I'd be out in a few
weeks, then a few months. God, I’m
human too, I have every right to see
my family.
NURSE
I know you want to go home, but you
can't leave. You are not well
enough.
Nurse sets the tray down on the nightstand, takes several
steps back.
NURSE
Just wait here and I'll go see what
I can do?
DEBAUN
That's what you said yesterday, and
the day before that. God damn it,
I'm not a fool. I know you'll not
going to help me. They’ll never let
me go, I’m their guinea pig now.
NURSE
What are you talking about? I want
to help you. I really do. Be
patient, we’ll get you out
eventually.
DEBAUN
No, everyday it’s test after test
after test. It's driving me insane,
I want out of this shit hole. I
don’t want to wait years after
Page: 7 of 108
they’re done doing tests on me
before I get out. I want out NOW!
NURSE
(Fearful)
No, you can't...you signed a
contract!
DEBAUN
Screw the contract, I'm leaving.
The Nurse stands up and steps in front of DeBaun.
NURSE
I can't let you do that.
DeBaun grabs the nurse's throat
DEBAUN
Look Miss...
He reads the name printed on the biohazard suit.
DEBAUN
Bernicky, you have been very good
taking care of me. I don't want to
hurt you, so please, stay out of my
way, ok?
The nurse nods.
Ok, ok.
NURSE
DEBAUN
What’s the pin number?
What?
NURSE
DEBAUN
The password to the door.
NURSE
(Hesitate)
Five nine two five three.
DeBaun nods, steps around the nurse heading for the door.
The nurse pushes herself back up to her feet. She rubs the
back of her head for a second, then picks up the tray and
sneaks up behind DeBaun.
WHAMP, she swings the tray with all her might against the
back of the DeBaun's head, knocking him forward onto the
floor.
As DeBaun does a martial arts back flip onto his feet, he reaches out and tears a large
portion of the nurse's biohazard suit exposing her naked neck.
As he backs the nurse to the metallic wall, he examines the nurse's neck. The nurse gasps
as her back touches the wall.
Page: 8 of 108
NURSE
What are you going to do to me?
With a growl, he grabs the nurse's lower jaw, forcing her
head to tilt to one side. He opens his mouth and extends
out his tongue, SHINK, a pointy rod shoots out from the
parted tip of his tongue piercing deep into the nurse's
neck, and then it retracts, leaving her screaming in pain.
She covers the gashing wound with her hand.
DeBaun affixes on the blood streaming through her fingers
with fascination. He pulls the nurse's neck to his lips.
DeBaun wraps his lips tightly around the wound as he drinks
the weakening nurse’s blood with deep satisfaction.
INT. FACILITY HALLWAY
Two military police officers walk past a large thick metal double door, BOOM, DeBaun
bursts through the door headfirst.
The military police turn pointing their assault rifles at
DeBaun yelling simultaneously.
MILITARY POLICE ONE
Stop right there! Put your hands up!
MP TWO
Hold it! Hands up where we can see
them!
DeBaun calmly stands in front of the military police with
his hands above his head. His eyes wander from one officer
to the other.
The first officer draws his walkie-talkie from its holster
strapped to his waist belt.
MP ONE
Base, this is security sweep Bravo,
we have the subject quarantined. Our
current position is in the main
hallway on D block, adjacent to the
genetics lab. Over.
A moment of silence.
RADIO
(Static)
Ahem, roger that Bravo. Tango,
Alpha, and Zulu are on their way.
DEBAUN
DeBaun’s pupils shrink as the white of his eyes turn
yellow. He blinks, and his eyes turn into cat eyes. He
leaps forward, charging at the two military police like a
lion.
Page: 9 of 108
The two officers open fire, knocking DeBaun backward onto
the floor. Blood oozes out from underneath him as the two
officers give each other a nod and advance cautiously
toward DeBaun with their rifle ready.
Blood stops oozing out underneath DeBaun.
The two officers stand on both sides of DeBaun. The second
officer nudges DeBaun's side with the tip of his shoe while
the other stands aside with rifle pointed at DeBaun.
DeBaun gives no response. The two officers give each other
a nervous glance.
Is he dead?
MILITARY POLICE ONE
Military Police One looks down at DeBaun then back at his
partner.
MILITARY POLICE TWO
He gotta be.
DeBaun's right arm slides slowly toward the lead piping
running along the base of the wall.
MILITARY POLICE ONE
You sure? I mean, did you check his
pulse?
DeBaun tears off a section of the pipe, swinging it around
striking the back of officer one's head. Gas leaks out from
the piping.
The officer falls to the floor with the back of his head
stained in blood as the other officer opens fire on DeBaun.
DeBaun drops the pipe as he scales up the wall then crawls
on the ceiling, landing behind the enraged military
officer.
The officer spins around surprised to find DeBaun in his
face.
DeBaun grabs his throat, tearing a piece of his esophagus
out, then runs off leaving his victim on the floor gasping
for air.
EXT. FACILITY-NIGHT
Loud sirens fill the air as DeBaun dashes toward the cement
wall with barbed wires erected on top of it. At the front
gate soldiers are waiting behind jeeps and hummers in
defensive positions as black helicopters fly above the
compound searching for DeBaun with the searchlight mounted
under the helicopter.
Page: 10 of 108
DEBAUN
DeBaun hits the ground, lying flat as a helicopter swoops
past him. The helicopter's searchlight barely misses him.
He takes a deep breath, and then pushes himself back onto
his feet just as a second helicopter flies by. The second
helicopter's searchlight shines on DeBaun fleeing toward
the cement wall.
MICROPHONE VOICE
Halt! Stop right where you are!
DeBaun continues running toward the cement wall.
MICROPHONE VOICE
This is your last warning, if you do
not comply immediately we will
commence firing.
The machinegun on the helicopter flashes as dirt behind
DeBaun kicks up.
He runs up the cement wall, then does a one handed
cartwheel over the barbed wires.
EXT. CORN FIELD-NIGHT
The searchlight from the pursuing helicopter, HELICOPTER
ONE, keeping track of DeBaun as he runs for his life from
the blazing machine gun.
WOOOOOSH, an approaching helicopter, HELICOPTER TWO,
launches a heat-seeking missile at DeBaun.
BOOM, the missile explodes beside DeBaun, knocking him onto
his side.
Helicopter Two swoops by the charred ground as Helicopter
One suspends in mid-air shinning its searchlight on the
ground where DeBaun's charred body lies motionless.
Moments later, DeBaun rolls over and gets back onto his
feet, fleeing in torn clothing as his burned skin heals at
an incredible rate.
Helicopter One opens fire on DeBaun as Helicopter Two makes
a hard turn, coming back around with machine guns blazing.
The distant whistles of an approaching train get louder and
louder.
As DeBaun approaches the railroad track, a cargo train cuts
in front of him. DeBaun looks behind him and sees the two
helicopters approaching with blazing machineguns.
He dives to the ground as the helicopters swoops pass above
him and over the freight train.
Page: 11 of 108
DEBAUN
DeBaun looks to his left then his right before getting back
up on his feet chasing after the train. He leaps onto the
side of a boxcar with graffiti on it.
He stands with his back against the large sliding door of the boxcar for a few seconds
panting, and then he slides the door open falling backward inside the car.
RAILROAD
As the last section of the train rolls by, the two helicopters finish a sharp turn heading
after the train.
PILOT
Dragon Guard Two reporting to base,
subject has boarded the train.
Permission to engage. Over.
BASE
Negative Dragon Guard Two, return to
base. Over and out.
PILOT
Ten-six, returning to base...
The two helicopters turn around heading toward the compound.
EXT. RAILROAD CROSSING-EARLY MORNING
The train passes by an empty railroad crossing at a very
slow pace.
BOXCAR WITH GRAFFITI
The door opens slightly. DeBaun pops his head out looking
around for a few seconds, then opens the door wider, waits,
and leaps out of the train.
DEBAUN
He rolls several times on the grass beside the railroad
before coming to a stop. DeBaun, drenched in blood, gets up
and hurries toward a residential district.
EXT. OPEN BACKYARD
DeBaun is using a garden hose to wash off the dried blood
caked on his skin.
A second floor light turns on. A woman sticks her head out
of the window.
WOMAN
Hey you, what do you think you are
doing?
DeBaun drops the garden hose and flees out of the yard.
Page: 12 of 108
EXT. PITCH DARK ALLEY-CLOUDY NIGHT
A shadowy figure strolls down the alley.
Two figures step out from a rundown building, and quietly
stalk the shadowy figure.
SHADOWY FIGURE
The two figures accost the shadowy figure. The first figure
taps the shadowy figure on the shoulder.
The shadowy figure turns to the first figure. Under the
brief moment of moonlight, DeBaun’s face revealed.
DEBAUN
Yes? May I help you with something?
Figure two side steps behind DeBaun.
Yea.
FIGURE ONE
Figure two draws a switchblade and stabs DeBaun in the
back. DeBaun arches his back, growling fiercely.
FIGURE TWO
Hurry up, grab his wallet.
DeBaun spins around, twists the knife out of figure two’s
hand. He jerks figure two’s head down by the hair, then
with a powerful downward motion, he jabs the switchblade
into the back of figure two’s skull.
Figure one backs off several steps, pointing at the dead
man on the ground.
FIGURE ONE
Shit, fuck man, I was just fucking
around man, the whole stab thing was
his idea!
DeBaun slowly turns his head toward figure one.
FIGURE ONE
Fuck man, I’m sorry man…
Figure one sprints for the open street.
DeBaun spins around leaping into the air. He lands on
figure one’s back.
He snaps figure one’s head with his forearms. DeBaun lets
go of the dead body, letting it drop to the ground, then
bends down and pulls the T-shirt off the corpse.
Page: 13 of 108
EXT. STREET-DAY
DeBaun keeps his eyes on the ground in front of him as he
walks on the sidewalk in oversized clothes.
He cuts across a grass field, then through a large packed
parking lot and into the Wal-Mart.
INT. WAL-MART
DeBaun holds a Bud Light T-shirt up in front of him
examining it for a few seconds, then carries it over to the
pants section where he picks out a pair of jeans.
EXT. DRESSING ROOM
DeBaun walks up to one of the open dressing rooms. He looks
up at the security camera then enters the dressing room to
his left.
LATER
DeBaun walks out of the dressing room dressed in the new
clothes.
As DeBaun walks confidently toward the exit, an obese
female employee waddles as fast as she can after him.
FEMALE EMPLOYEE
Stop him! Stop him! Shoplifter!
Joey, don't let him through that
door!
Joey, a teenage employee wearing old blue jeans and a WalMart shirt with his name on a tag is handing shopping carts
to people entering the store. He steps in front of DeBaun
to intercept him.
JOEY
Hey! Look buddy…
DEBAUN
Out of the way kid.
DeBaun pushes Joey, knocking him backward into a row of
shopping cart as he calmly walks by.
The Female Employee waddles toward Joey, whose eyes are
watery as he lies on the floor applying pressure to his
lower back.
JOEY
(Panicky)
Ah! fuck! I can't feel my legs! I
can't feel them!
The female employee bends down placing her hands on Joey's
shoulder, shaking him gently.
Page: 14 of 108
FEMALE EMPLOYEE
Calm down Joey, you'll be all right.
You just hold on. We're going to get
you to a hospital. They'll fix you
up.
Female employee turns to the stunned customers.
FEMALE EMPLOYEE
Will somebody call an ambulance!
EXT. WAL-MART
A Black Jeep Cherokee stops for a stop sign as DeBaun runs
around the front of it. He rips open the driver's door and
pulls a teenage girl out of the Jeep. He throws her onto
the street as he himself gets into the Jeep.
DeBaun shuts the driver's door and speeds away as the
teenager gets up rubbing her elbow.
TEENAGER GIRL
Hey, you creep! That’s my dad's
jeep.
She jumps up and down crying.
The jeep squeaks to a stop. The driver door window rolls
down, then several shopping bags are shoved out of the
window scattering the contents all over the ground. The
jeep then speeds away.
EXT. RURAL RESIDENTIAL STREET-AFTERNOON
On both sides of the street are houses. Across the street
sits a black Cadillac with two suited men inside. They are
spying on a blue house where two young boys play with toy
cars on the front lawn.
The black Jeep pulls up in front of the house and shuts its
engine off.
JEEP
DeBaun is wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses watching
the two boys play. He glances down at an unfolded photo in
his hands of himself in Army uniform with a woman standing
behind the two boys sitting on the floor. Tears roll down
his cheek onto the photo.
A red Ford Taurus pulls into the driveway, then an Air
Force Major steps out of the car. The woman in the photo
opens the front door and waits for him. The Major walks up
to the woman and embraces her.
DeBaun shakes in rage. He slams his fist down on the
steering wheel, accidentally sounding the horn gaining
immediate attention. He starts the engine, shifts gears,
Page: 15 of 108
and speeds away.
EXT. SIDE OF THE BLUE HOUSE-NIGHT
DeBaun cuts several thick wires leading into the house one
by one with a wire cutter.
MAJOR
Tomorrow, yea, we got to go over
those plans with…
(Click)
Hello? Hello? Damn it!
WOMAN
Honey, watch your mouth in front of
the kids.
DeBaun stuffs the wire cutter into his pocket and hurries
away.
WOMAN
Honey, something's wrong with the
TV, I can't get any channels on this
darn thing.
MAJOR
Ok, I'll take a look at it after I
find out what's wrong with the
stupid phone.
WOMAN
Ok, but don’t take too long.
A moment of silence, then the creaking sound of the front
door opening followed by the sound of someone brushing by
the bushes.
The Major turns the corner of the house with a flashlight
in hand. He bends down examining the cut wires.
MAJOR
What the hell?
DeBaun pulls the Major, who is in khakis and a shirt, up by
the collar and covers his mouth with a hand as he pushes
him back against the side of the house.
DEBAUN
On your feet Soldier!
The Major bites DeBaun's hand. Blood seeps from the cut.
DeBaun bits his own lips to hold back the pain.
DEBAUN
That hurts flyboy!
DeBaun covers the major's mouth with his other hand. He
holds up the bitten hand and examines it as the wound
Page: 16 of 108
rapidly heals terrifying the Major. DeBaun wiggles his
fingers in front of the Major then forms a fist and punches
the major in the guts sending him bending over groaning in
pain.
DeBaun straightens the Major up by the pulling on his hair.
The hand over the Major's mouth muffles his scream.
DEBAUN
Attention!
(Beat)
Who the hell are you? And what are
you doing in my house with my wife
and kids? And where the hell is my
dog?
The Major mumbles something giving DeBaun the chance to
punch him in the guts again. DeBaun straightens him back up
by the hair.
DEBAUN
Speak up flyboy!
DeBaun looks at his hand covering the Major's mouth as the trembling Major tries to
speak.
DEBAUN
You yell, I kill you. You got that?
The Major nods his head.
Ok.
DEBAUN
(Removes hand)
Start talking. Now, who the hell are
you?
MAJOR
Smith, Charles Smith, United States
Air Force, Major, commanding officer
of the 221st fighter group.
DEBAUN
What the hell are you doing in my
house with my wife and kids?
MAJOR
That's impossible, my wife's exhusband died over a year ago.
DeBaun punches the Major in the face giving him a bloody
nose.
DEBAUN
Your wife? Liz is your wife?
Major nods
DEBAUN
For how long?
Page: 17 of 108
MAJOR
Two months. Hey you leave her and
the kids out of this. whatever this
is about it is between you and me.
DeBaun leans close to the Major covering his mouth again.
DEBAUN
That's my wife you're with and those
are my kids in there. Let me tell
you something flyboy, I don't like
you and I will get back at that
cheating slut. Now, what have you
done with my dog?
MAJOR
It was hit by a car.
DeBaun, trying to control his temper.
DEBAUN
A car? Whose car?
Ah…
MAJOR
(Hesitant)
DeBaun bangs the major against the wall.
DEBAUN
(Furious)
Whose car?
My car.
MAJOR
DEBAUN
Let me guess, by killing my dog you
got to meet my wife?
The major's eyes widen as DeBaun punches into his chest,
tearing out his heart holding it up in front of the Major's
straining face.
DEBAUN
See you in hell flyboy...
The major gives off a whimper before collapsing. DeBaun
brush the major’s body off his shoulder onto the ground.
He holds up the bloody heart in front of him and licks the
blood off of it before tossing it on the floor. SMASH
DeBaun squashes the heart under his feet before walking
away.
EXT. FRONT PORCH-NIGHT
DeBaun walks up to the front porch. As he is about to ring
Page: 18 of 108
the doorbell, his eyes catch sight of the nametag on the
door which reads 'Smith'. He angrily tears the nametag from
the door revealing the old nametag 'DeBaun'. He looks at
the nametag in his hand then his nose perks up sniffing the
air like a dog.
He turns and sees a gray haired man in his robe and sandals
walking his dog across the street. He shoves the nametag in
his pocket. He licks his canine teeth with his tongue. He
crosses the street after the man.
MAN
The man’s dog leads him to the front door of a one-story
house.
As the man finds the key on his key chain, he snaps around
in alarm. Finding nothing behind him he returns to finding
the house key.
The man opens the glass swing door, letting his dog in
first. As the man closes the door, DeBaun launches toward
the front door from the large tree in the front lawn. He
bursts into the house before the man can close the door.
INT. HOUSE
DeBaun bursts through the door knocking the man down onto
the wooden floor. He turns on the man exposing his perfect
white teeth as the dog growls and barks at him.
SHRRRK SHRRRK, a long thin scaly rod from the tip of
DeBaun's tongue pierces through the dog's back then
retracts. The dog gives a weak yelp before collapsing.
The man looks at his dog in fear and anger. He grabs the
shoes beside him, tossing them at DeBaun one by one as he
screams in rage.
MAN
AHHHHH! You killed Lucky! You killed
my dog!
DeBaun shoots the rod out again impaling the shoe that the
man is about to pick up on the floor. The man looks at the
impaled shoe in horror. He gets up running into his study.
The man bursts into the study room, heading for the shotgun
mounted on the wall behind his grand desk. Again, the rod
shoots out from DeBaun’s tongue falling slightly short of
piercing the man's head.
The man lifts the shotgun off its rack just as DeBaun strolls into the room. The man turns
around pumping several shots into DeBaun.
DeBaun's dismantled face heals as he walks toward the man,
who backs up against the bookshelf.
Page: 19 of 108
MAN
Who are you? What do you want?
(Pulls out cash from wallet)
You want money? Here, here's all I
got, take it! Just take it.
The man curls up against the bookshelf, covering his face
with his hands.
MAN
(Whines)
Please don’t hurt me! Please! Ahhhh!
The man tosses the cash toward DeBaun.
DEBAUN
I don't need your money.
MAN
Ok, ok…what about this?
(Take off Rolex watch)
Genuine Rolex, worth a fortune.
Here, it's yours…
DeBaun grabs the man's throat lifting him up off the
ground. He extends out his tongue, SHRRRRK, the rod shoots
out into the man's chest then retracts. The man looks down
at his bleeding wound in horror, too terrified to move.
DeBaun watches the blood pour out of the man's chest.
His eyes morph into cat-like eyes. He opens his mouth and
urgently presses it around the man's wound sucking deeply.
The man's eyes roll back as his entire body stiffens.
EXT. MAJOR'S HOUSE-NIGHT
Police cars and ambulances are parked on the street and in
the driveway of the house. Liz stands beside several
friends on the lawn crying. She and a friend beside her
hold the two children in their arms. The Neighbors are
gathering on the sidewalk behind several news teams.
An unmarked car pulls to the side of the street.
UNMARKED CAR
Two detectives, Doug, in his mid forties wearing a gray
trench coat and Dave, in his early thirties, wearing white
T-shirt tucked in his jeans. They step out of the car.
They flash their badges to the police officer standing
guard, then put on the rubber gloves from their pockets as
they walk toward the crime scene.
A chubby cop waddles past them toward the parked police
cars.
Page: 20 of 108
CHUBBY COP
Hey what's up guys? How’s Jena?
DAVE
I think she’s doing fine.
You think?
CHUBBY COP
DAVE
Yea, we broke up a week ago.
They walk by each other.
CHUBBY COP
Oh yea, I forgot, the month ended
last week.
Doug turns to Dave with a questioned look.
DOUG
What was wrong with Jena?
DAVE
I don’t know, I’m still young you
know, I can’t be in a serious
relationship, I mean the idea of a
serious relationship just scares me.
Doug chuckles
DOUG
You’re still young. So who’s the new
girl?
EXT. SIDE OF HOUSE-NIGHT
A senior police officer stands out of the crime
photographer's way as he takes pictures of the Major. The
two detectives walk up to the Major's dead body without
regards to the photographer and crouch down on both sides
of the body. Doug takes a pen using it as a guide.
DOUG
Look at this…you ever seen anything
like this?
DAVE
No. It looks like a Mafia hit. Only
they would of wanted the heart as a
trophy.
SENIOR POLICE OFFICER
No, they took nothing?
Doug turns to senior cop.
DOUG
Sorry, I'm not sure if I understand
Page: 21 of 108
what you meant by that.
SENIOR POLICE OFFICER
Whoever did this, didn't want the
guy’s heart. They have something
else on their agenda.
Dave chuckles.
DOUG
And what might this other agenda be?
SENIOR POLICE OFFICER
I don't know. It could be for
revenge, hatred, there are many
reasons why someone would get
whacked.
DOUG
Suppose that you are correct in your
assumption, then where would the
heart be?
Senior Police officer points to Dave.
SENIOR POLICE OFFICER
It's right next to you.
Dave and Doug turn their heads slowly to find the squashed
heart with DeBaun’s shoeprint imprinted on it.
Doug nods as he looks up back up at the senior police
officer.
DOUG
Nice work officer.
He pats Dave on the shoulder as he stands up and leaves.
DETECTIVES
Dave hurries after Doug.
DAVE
So what now?
DOUG
We have a talk with the wife.
The two detectives flash their badge at Liz. Doug takes out a note pad and a pen ready to
take notes.
Mrs. Smith?
Yes?
DOUG
LIZ
DOUG
I'm Detective Goodwin, and this is
my partner Detective Johnson, we
Page: 22 of 108
would like to ask you a few
questions regarding your husband. Is
that all right with you?
Liz hands the boy in her arms to a friend.
LIZ
Will you take him for a few minutes?
FRIEND
(Points to the play area)
Sure, we'll be over there.
Liz turns her head around to the detectives.
Nice kids.
DAVE
DOUG
Those boys are going to miss their
daddy. I’m kind of surprised that
they don’t show much grievance. I
know my kids would be crying like
crazy.
LIZ
Well, Charley's not their real
father. They've been over this
before when their real father died
over a year ago. Besides, they don't
really like Charley that much.
Charley, how do I put it? Charley,
he's very strict with the children.
DOUG
Sorry to hear that, but do you know
or remember anyone, anyone at all
who might have had a dispute or
argument with your husband in the
past few days?
Liz slowly shakes her head from side to side.
LIZ
No, No, I never saw him argue with
anyone before. Well maybe with his
own father, but that's like a
friendly dispute.
DOUG
How about any long-term enemies?
LIZ
No, there's no one I can remember
that Charley didn't get along with,
he's pretty much well liked by
everyone. I can't imagine anyone
would want to hurt him. Why would
anyone want to do such a thing to
Charley?
Page: 23 of 108
DAVE
That's what we're here to find out
ma’am.
LIZ
No, I can't think of anyone. Who
would hold any grudge again Charley.
Doug gives Liz a little nod.
DOUG
Mrs. Smith, can you explain to me
why was your husband outside?
LIZ
Yea sure, he was on the phone when
it died on him. So he took his
flashlight and went outside to see
what happened to the phone line.
DAVE
Was there anything else strange that
happened tonight?
LIZ
Well, our TV reception was just
fine, but then it just stopped.
DOUG
Did this happen before or after the
incident with the telephone?
LIZ
I think it was about the same time.
DOUG
What about people? Did you see
anyone strange hanging around your
house today or yesterday?
Liz thinks for a few seconds.
LIZ
Well, come to think of it, there was
a strange man outside our house
today. He was parked on the side of
the street over there .
(Points to street)
When Charley came back from the
base. I think he was pounding on the
steering wheel the last I saw. But
when we noticed him, he drove away.
DOUG
Did you get a good look at him?
I saw him.
LIZ
Page: 24 of 108
DOUG
Do you remember what he looked like?
LIZ
Yes. He had short brown army cut
hair. He wore sunglasses and a cap,
and he was wearing a T-shirt. I
think it was white. He looked kind
of like my ex-husband, but that's
impossible, my ex-husband has been
dead for more then a year now.
DOUG
Did you notice any characteristic
markings on him, like tattoos?
LIZ
None that I noticed.
Doug nods.
DOUG
Ok, do you remember what type of car
he was driving?
LIZ
A jeep, I think it was dark green,
but I can't be sure.
A police officer walks toward Doug and Dave. The police
officer cuts in, pointing down the street.
POLICE OFFICER
Ahem, detectives? They found a man
murdered couple houses down the
street from here. They want you two
to go over there and take a look.
Police officer gives Liz a respecting nod before strolling away.
Doug turns to Liz.
DOUG
Thanks for your time ma'am
Doug hands her a business card from his coat pocket.
DOUG
Please feel free to call me if you
have any further information, or
just need to talk about what
happened.
Dave nods to Liz, then hurries away after Doug. After
several steps, Doug turns around.
DOUG
Oh, one more question Mrs. Smith,
just out of curiosity, why did you
stay in the house when your husband
did not come back in after a long
Page: 25 of 108
time? Didn't it occur to you to go
outside looking for him?
LIZ
My ex-husband always told me and the
children that if he wasn't back for
a long time, I should lock myself
and the kids in the house and under
no circumstance should I go outside
looking for him. He would always
test me and the children on that. I
guess with all the tests he gave, it
became second nature.
DOUG
Well thank you again for your time,
and again, I'm deeply sorry for your
husband's death.
Liz nods. Doug and Dave nod back then turn around walking toward their parked car
conversing with each other.
EXT. STREET-NIGHT
DeBaun wraps his arms around his stomach as he stumbles down a quiet street. A
homeless man pushing a shopping cart walks toward him.
The homeless man grabs DeBaun's arm.
HOMELESS MAN
Hey buddy, you don't look so good.
DeBaun lifts up his head.
DEBAUN
I'm famished.
HOMELESS MAN
Whoa, a scholar, ok so you’re
hungry? Well it's your lucky day
cause I got a little extra food
today.
Thank you.
DEBAUN
HOMELESS MAN
Hey, don't sweat it, we street
dwellers got to stick together. Help
each other out you know, you scratch
my back I scratch your back. Stuff
like that. Come on.
The homeless man leads DeBaun away.
EXT. DARK ISOLATED ALLEY-NIGHT
The homeless man leads DeBaun into a dark alley. They sit
down near a cardboard box filled dumpster.
Page: 26 of 108
HOMELESS MAN
Well, here it is…how do you like it?
DeBaun looks around nodding his head.
DEBAUN
Not bad, not bad. Dark, no one to
disturb you. I like that.
HOMELESS MAN
That's the point, see the cops
around here are always harassing us.
Hey, you ain't a cop, are you?
DeBaun shakes his head.
HOMELESS MAN
Good, we hate cops around here, they
are a bunch of overpaid, overfed
shit heads.
The homeless man takes a loaf of stale bread from his
pocket and breaks it in half. He hands the smaller piece to
DeBaun.
HOMELESS MAN
Here, take it.
DeBaun looks at the ground for a moment, blinks. His eyes
turn into cat eyes. He takes the bread and tosses it on the
ground.
DEBAUN
I don’t need your bread.
The homeless man picks up the bread and dusts the dirt off of it.
HOMELESS MAN
What the fuck! If you don't want it,
at least give it back, you don't
have to go fucking waste it, there
are some of us who consider it to be
very fulfilling.
DeBaun grabs the homeless man's lower jaw tilting his head back.
DEBAUN
Well, I don’t, but I think you have
something that will be fulfilling
for me.
The homeless man screams in pain as DeBaun covers the
exposed side of the homeless man's neck with his mouth.
SHRWWK, SHRWWK, DeBaun begins to gobble down blood. A small
stream of blood seeps out from the corner of his mouth.
The homeless man struggles desperately under DeBaun's grip.
DeBaun yanks the homeless man’s head back by the hair, then
with a hard upward blow to his nose with the palm of his
hand.
Page: 27 of 108
Blood covers the dead homeless man’s face.
EXT. ALLEY-DAY
Several cops are gathering evidence around the homeless
man’s body leaning sluggishly against the wall.
Dave and Doug put on rubber gloves from their pockets as
they walk toward the body. They are greeted by a chubby
police officer.
POLICE OFFICER
Detectives. This way please.
The police officer leads the two detectives toward the body.
POLICE OFFICER
They found him this morning, we're
having hell of a difficulty finding
out the motive.
DAVE
That's what we're here to find out.
The two detectives gaze down in at the dead body.
DAVE
Damn, that's three in one night, one
hell of a record.
DOUG
Sergeant I want you to go around
this place and ask every homeless
guy you can find if they know who
our victim was with.
SGT
Yea sure, that's easy for you to
say. The only way to get any answer
around here is if you bribe them
with food or money.
DOUG
Well, then do that!
SGT
I’m not made out of money.
DAVE
Don’t worry, you’ll get rein
boosted.
The sergeant nods, then walks away.
DETECTIVES
The detectives stroll toward their car.
Page: 28 of 108
DAVE
So, what do you think?
DOUG
I don't know. What about you?
Dave thinks for a few second.
DAVE
I think we might be after something
out of the ordinary.
Doug stops for a moment.
DOUG
What do you mean?
DAVE
You head of Chupacabras?
No.
DOUG
DAVE
Ok, it’s a creature that was
believed to savagely mutilate
animals in Latin America by gutting
their organs out and drains their
blood.
DOUG
Are you suggesting a monster?
DAVE
Yea, why not?
DOUG
Why not? Because that’s
preposterous.
DAVE
Why is it preposterous, supernatural
things are based somewhat on real
life.
DOUG
Yea some are, but this ain’t.
Doug unlocks his car remotely as they approach it.
DAVE
Hey, there are people who drink
blood to satisfy their obsession.
DOUG
You better fucking not put that in
the report.
Page: 29 of 108
Yea sure.
DAVE
Dave opens the car door.
DAVE
Are we leaving or not?
Doug nods. Both detectives climb into the car.
INT. WINDOWLESS CONFERENCE ROOM
A man in black suit, SUITED MAN ONE, in his forties sits
across the rectangular table from another man in black
suit, FBI DEPUTY ASSISTANT DIRECTOR O'DANIEL, in his early
fifties.
Documents on DeBaun are neatly spread across the table in
front of the deputy assistant director. Another man in
black suit, SUITED MAN TWO, walks around the table to sit
beside Suited Man One.
SUITED MAN ONE
This man is a treat to national
security. He knows too much about
our top secrete activities and we
have reason to believe that he have
highly sensitive information
regarding national security in his
possession and we have reasons to
believe that he is selling it to
hostile nations. Our sources reveal
that recently he has obtained highly
top-secret documents regarding
national defense. He must be
apprehended as soon as possible
before these document are passed
into the wrong hands.
O'DANIEL
So, why don't you set up a manhunt,
you’re bound to catch him before he
can spill his guts.
SUITED MAN TWO
No, we would like to keep this under
wrap. Deputy Assistant Director
O'Danial , it is our understanding
that you are inline for another
evaluation some time this year, am I
correct?
O'DANIEL
Yes, that is correct, and I am
hopping for a good evaluation, and
possibly a promotion.
Page: 30 of 108
SUITED MAN TWO
Then let me be frank with you Mr.
O'Daniel, if you can help us
apprehend William DeBaun, I will
personally guarantee you a very
lucrative promotion. Do we have an
agreement?
O'DANIEL
What kind of a promotion are we
talking about?
SUITED MAN ONE
Director of FBI Head Quarter in
Washington DC. Does that sound good
enough for you?
O'DANIEL
What about the president?
SUITED MAN ONE
What about him?
O'DANIEL
In order for me to be promoted to
the position of Director, the
president must approve of it first,
and I don't see how he’s going to
promote me from deputy assistant
director to the highest-ranking
position in the FBI organization.
SUITED MAN ONE
Leave that to us, we will take care
of that.
O'DANIEL
Then what's the catch?
SUITED MAN TWO
No catch, just bring us DeBaun.
Everything else afterwards is an
easy breather.
O'Danial thinks for a few seconds.
O'DANIEL
All right, sounds fair enough. You
just keep your end of the bargain.
SUITED MAN TWO
Good, you are authorized to use any
means necessary to meet your
objectives. We do not care how you
do it, just get the job done.
Page: 31 of 108
INT. POLICE STATION-DAY
Dave sits at his desk filling out forms as Doug walks up to
his messy desk.
DOUG
I don't know what you did, but we're
in the lion's din again, the boss
wants to see us in his office.
(Taps the table)
Right now.
Doug gives Dave the bad sign look.
DAVE
Us? What the hell did we do?
DOUG
I don't know, I thought you might
enlighten me on that, but obviously
I'm wasting my times because you
don't have the slightest clue
either.
Dave gets out of his chair, heading for the police chief's
office with Doug.
EXT. POLICE CHIEF'S OFFICE
The police chief in his leather chair are chatting with two
black suited men sitting in two of the four chairs in front
of his desk. One of the men is O'Daniel
Through the large window, Dave and Doug walk up to the
door, and knocks as they barge in.
INT. POLICE CHIEF'S OFFICE
Nicely furnished office full of picture of the police chief
with famous people and many rewards mounted on the wall.
The police chief looks up as Dave and Doug barge in.
POLICE CHIEF
Come on in boys. Never mind, just
help yourself. Please sit down, we
have things to talk about, very
important things.
Both detectives take their seats in front of the police
chief's desk. The Police Chief glances at the two suited
men then at the detectives.
POLICE CHIEF
Well, boys, these here gentlemen are
from the FBI, they have arranged for
one of their own field agents to be
an active participant in your case.
Page: 32 of 108
DOUG
But sir, we work much better if it
was just the two of us, plus it is
not in their jurisdiction. Can't you
just tell them to beat it?
POLICE CHIEF
No, I'm afraid I can't do that. For
one, I feel it is wise to have an
expert onboard, if nothing else, to
teach you two how to properly handle
and execute a case, and two they
have reason to believe that the
suspect, the man you two are after
is in fact William DeBaun a man
linked with a series of other
murders nationwide, therefore they
have full authority and legislative
right to participate in this
investigation. Sorry boys, but meet
your new partner, Special Agent
Brian Nelson.
The other agent, in his late twenties, stands up and
extends his hand out to.
NELSON
Brain Nelson, looking forward to
work with you.
Doug shakes Brain's hand.
DOUG
I'm Doug Goodwin, and I'm in charge.
Doug waves to Dave
DOUG
And this is my partner David M.
Johnson.
Dave turns to O'Daniel.
Who's he?
DAVE
POLICE CHIEF
This man is the second most powerful
man in Chicago, FBI Deputy Assistant
Director Sean O'Daniel.
INT. POLICE STATION-DAY
The two detectives walk past several office desks with
Agent Nelson following behind them.
DOUG
You got any idea what this guy's
Page: 33 of 108
pattern is? Because it just doesn't
add up, first the Air Force Major,
then a schoolteacher, and finally
some street bum, there's no trend,
anyone could be next, it's like he
kills whenever he feels like it.
No, sorry.
AGENT NELSON
INT. BANK-DAY
DeBaun walks into the bank. He looks around scanning the
room before stepping in line behind the only other person
in line waiting to be served by the a bank tellers.
A bank teller frees up, the customer in front of DeBaun
walks over to the bank teller.
The woman being served by the bank teller in the middle
packs up her purse and leaves, DeBaun walks up to the
counter
BANK TELLER
How can I help you today, sir?
DEBAUN
I need to withdraw five hundreddollars from my checking account.
The bank teller types into the computer beside her.
BANK TELLER
Ok, insert your card through there.
DeBaun pauses for a second.
DEBAUN
Uhm, I don't have my card with me.
BANK TELLER
Ok, then if you'll just show me some
form of identification with your
photo on it, we can proceed from
there.
DEBAUN
I don't have any IDs on me either.
They're in my wallet and I don't
have my wallet here with me.
BANK TELLER
Well then, I'm sorry sir, but I
can't withdraw any amount of money
for you. We do need a proof of
identification for security reasons,
I do hope you understand.
Bank teller turns her head to next customer in line.
Page: 34 of 108
BANK TELLER
Sir, I can help you here.
WHAMP, DeBaun smack the palm of his hand on the counter
startling everyone. He looks the bank teller straight in
the eyes. His eyes transform into its frightful appearance.
DEBAUN
(Deep voice)
You will give me one hundred
thousand dollars now! Or I will kill
you.
The scared bank teller slowly reaches under the counter.
Without warning, the alarm goes off. Metal cages slams down
sealing off the bank as well as the bank teller booth. He
looks at the thick metal bars isolating him from the bank
teller.
The customers and Agents not isolated from DeBaun quickly
duck under tables or hit the floor for cover.
DEBAUN
So you think these bars will keep
you safe?
DeBaun deforms the bars with his bare hands to create a
large gap between him and the bank teller.
DEBAUN
Now, the money.
The bank teller quickly gets DeBaun his money. A police car
pulls up in front of the bank. The police officer draws his
pistol and takes cover behind his car door.
DeBaun shoves the cash into his pocket. He walks to the
exit, tears the metal cage down, tosses it on the floor and
confidently strolls out of the bank.
EXT. BANK
As DeBaun walks out of the bank, a motorcycle police pulls
up beside the police car. The motorcycle police draw his
sidearm as he gets off his bike.
POLICE OFFICER
Hold it right there! Put your hands
up slowly were we can see them!
You’re under arrest for armed
robbery.
DeBaun reaches back into the bank. The police officers fire
several shots at DeBaun, hitting him only three times.
DeBaun’s hand reemerges from inside the back with a metal
bar. He hurtles it at the police officer behind the police
Page: 35 of 108
car. Then quickly side steps back into the bank.
The metal bar pierces through the driver door window of the
police car and into the police officer splattering blood on
the shattered window and on the patrol car door.
Oh shit!
MOTORCYCLE POLICE
The Motorcycle police crouches down lower behind his bike.
DeBaun walks out concealing something in his hands behind
him. The motorcycle police empty his gun into DeBaun.
WHOSH, DeBaun hurtles a fireman’s axe at the motorcycle
police. The axe chops off the top one fifth of the police
officer’s head.
The officer goes into a spasm for a few seconds before
falling backward onto the floor.
DEBAUN
(Disappointed)
Damn, too high.
DeBaun walks to the motorcycle, brushes off the drops of
blood on the motorcycle seat before sitting down on the
bike and rides off.
INT. POLICE STATION-NOON
Dave and Doug walk up to Agent Nelson's neatly arranged
temporary desk where he is reading case reports on the
three homicides.
DAVE
Hey, we're going out for lunch, you
want to join us?
Agent Nelson looks up with a million dollar smile shaking
his head.
AGENT NELSON
No, I've got to go take care of
something, maybe tomorrow.
DOUG
All right then, see you later.
AGENT NELSON
Yea, see you later.
Agent Nelson goes back to the reports. Both detectives
leaves.
INT. AGENT NELSON'S CAR IN POLICE GARAGE
Agent Nelson is talking on his cellular phone as he drives.
Page: 36 of 108
AGENT NELSON
No sir, they don’t have a clue.
(Beat)
Yes sir, I understand.
(Beat)
Yes sir.
DeBaun follows a police officer walking to his car.
AGENT NELSON
Yes sir, I'll take care of it...
INT. POLICE STATION-LATE AFTERNOON
Doug sits behind his desk reading over case files as Dave
walks toward him with a large envelope in hand. He tosses
it on Doug's desk. Doug looks up at Dave.
DAVE
The lab report just came in.
DOUG
Did we find who our John Doe is?
DAVE
Yes, it's a positive match.
DOUG
That's great, let's go get a warrant
out on this guy, and bang, we make
the arrest, put him on trial, and
walla, end of case, and bye-bye Mr.
Pain in the ass special agent.
DAVE
I wouldn't celebrate just yet,
there's a problem.
DOUG
A problem? What kind of a problem is
it?
DAVE
Those that you don’t get too often.
This guy's been dead for over a
year.
DOUG
Are you positive? But how is that
possible, his fingerprint was all
over those victims.
DAVE
Yea.
Doug opens the envelope. He takes out the picture of DeBaun and his bios.
FACT SHEET
Doug reads out loud.
Page: 37 of 108
DOUG
William Lauren DeBaun, age thirty
four, height five eleven inches,
weight one ninety eight, Army
special forces, rank Captain, death
February twenty first, two thousand
and one, cause of death.
(Beat, surprised)
Ebola?
DAVE
Some serious stuff.
Dou nods. He mumbles as he reads on.
DOUG
Look at this. You remember Mrs.
Smith don't you?
Yea.
DAVE
DOUG
Well, this guy actually owns the
house she’s in. And check this out,
Mrs. Smith was legally married to
this guy.
DAVE
You think the killings might be for
revenge?
DOUG
Could be, assuming he faked his own
death for some odd reason.
DAVE
Pretty hard to fake a death by
Ebola.
DOUG
He's special force, those guys can
do almost anything.
(Beat)
He must of have been pretty pissed
off when he found out that his wife
remarried to someone else.
DAVE
I'd be pretty pissed too, but how
the hell does the other two fit in?
DOUG
I don't know.
Doug looks up at Dave
DOUG
You sure these are accurate?
Page: 38 of 108
DAVE
There's only one way to find out for
sure.
Doug put the fact sheet back into the envelope, placing it into his top drawer and locks it
before leaving his work area with Dave.
INT. RESTUARANT-NIGHT
A birthday party for an elderly man is in progress with the
entire family singing happy birthday. Two busboys stroll
around the table refilling glasses.
A waiter hurries toward the kitchen carrying an empty tray.
He pushes through the double swing door into the kitchen.
INT. KITCHEN
The chefs are busy preparing food, while the dishwasher
boy, a teenager, is busy loading dirty dishes into the
dishwasher.
WAITER
Man, they're breathing down my neck
out there, can't you guys speed it
up or something?
The waiter focus his gaze at a chef
WAITER
Hey Kirk, how much longer does table
six have to wait? They're pretty
much ready to leave right now.
A chef/Kirk lifts up his head.
KURK
You tell them to wait just five more
minutes, Ok? And ah, tell those rich
pigs out there that if they want
their food to be cooked right, they
better shut the hell up and wait.
WAITER
Yea sure, and blow off my tip? In
your dreams man.
The waiter turns around, hurrying out of the kitchen.
A few seconds later a chef leaves his workstation with a hand full of pealed cabbage skin
to the garbage. The chef, CHEF ONE, tosses the cabbage skins into the full garbage can,
then turns to the dishwasher boy.
CHEF ONE
Hey boy, take this shit out, will
yea?
Chef One returns to his workstation as the dishwasher boy loads the dish in his hand into
the dishwasher. He dries his hands with a towel and walks sluggishly to the garbage can.
Page: 39 of 108
DISHWASHER BOY
He ties the garbage bag, then lifts it out of the garbage
can setting it aside. He takes a new garbage bag from the
top drawer of the cabinet beside him and put it onto the
garbage can.
The dishwasher boy carries the full garbage bag toward the
backdoor.
EXT. BACK OF RESTUARANT-CLOUDY NIGHT
The teenager barge out of the backdoor carrying the large
garbage bag. He stumbles toward the dumpster pin.
A gush of wind slams the backdoor shut.
STALKER POV
DISHWASHER BOY
(Imitating Chef One)
Take out the garbage boy, do this
boy, do that boy
(Normal voice)
Well at least I'm going to finish
High School. What about you Chef
Omire? What was the highest grade
you ever passed without failing?
What? Third grade? And what was
that, you barely passed?
The dishwasher boy walks into the dumpster pin.
Stalker POV huffs and puffs like an animal as it advances slowly up to the teenager who
is lifting up the lid of the dumpster with his thumb.
DISHWASHER BOY
The dishwasher boy lets go of the lid as he spins around breathing hard anticipating
someone behind him. He scans his surroundings nervously.
STALKER POV
The dishwasher boy turns back around lifting the lid of the
dumpster and tosses the garbage bag into the dumpster. He
looks up at the sky, takes a deep breath, and then turns
around heading back toward the restaurant.
DISHWASHER BOY
The dishwasher boy stretches himself outside of the
dumpster pin.
He strolls back toward the restaurant with his hands in his pocket.
A growling shadow leaps out from the bushes beside the dumpster knocking the
dishwasher boy to the ground.
DeBaun jerks the screaming dishwasher boy's head to one side by the hair as he covers
the boy's mouth with his other hand. He licks the struggling boy's neck, then he sticks out
his tongue placing the tip against the exposed vein on the side of his neck.
Page: 40 of 108
SHRWWWK, SHRWWWK, the boy's eyes widen as he gages in a
mouthful of blood while punching and kicking DeBaun with
all his might.
Blood gushes out from the puncture wound as DeBaun draws
his tongue back, then presses his lips tightly around the
bleeding hole sucking the blood and life out of the
dishwasher boy.
The dishwasher boy's struggle weakens as his eyes begin to
wonder, then stares straight ahead as he take his last long
breath.
DEBAUN
DeBaun sucks for few more seconds, then he drags the boy to the dumpster, lifts the lid
and tosses him inside the dumpster leaving only part of a hand sticking out.
EXT. GRAVEYARD-NIGHT
Dave and Doug are standing around an open grave watching
two gravediggers easily haul a casket out from the ground.
GRAVEDIGGER ONE
Holly shit, this casket is light.
Gravedigger Two pries open the casket, revealing an empty casket. Doug turns to Dave.
DOUG
Logical explanation, the guy's not
dead.
INT. KITCHEN-NIGHT
The chefs are working
CHEF ONE
The chef beside chef one, CHEF TWO, lift his head up and
looks around. He elbows chief one on the side.
CHEF TWO
Hey, wonder where that damn kid ran
off to?
CHEF ONE
Probably out there jerking it behind
the dumpster. That's why I keep on
telling them over and over again not
to hire any damn kids. All those
kids do is screwing everything up.
CHEF ACROSS CHEF ONE
Yea you said it, I had to go and
load all those dishes in the washer
five minutes ago. God damn it, I'm
not fucking paid to wash dishes, I'm
a fucking chief, I cook.
Page: 41 of 108
EXT. QUIET STREET-NIGHT
DeBaun halts a taxicab. He gets into the back of the cab.
INT. APARTMENT BEDROOM
In the dark room, a panting woman is in bed bouncing on top of a man.
COUPLE
The man, Dave, reaches up cupping his hands around the
woman’s tender, round breasts.
He lifts his head up, pressing his lips tightly around her
perking nipple while playing with her other nipple in
between his fingers.
His mouth pulls back, his thumb brushes over the hard
nipple.
Dave spins the woman around onto her back. He looks down at
her, she giggles. Dave slowly thrusts on top of her. The
woman moans gently as she tries to arch her back.
They turn around, the woman sits up, and she feels for the
bottle of champagne on the nightstand, picks it up and
pours all over her chest.
She pulls him up. Dave hungrily licks the champagne on her
chest.
WOMAN
(Giggles)
Slow down, I want this to last all
night.
Dave looks up at her.
Oh it will.
DAVE
He resumes his act.
The woman pushes Dave’s head back; she strokes her fingers
through his moist hair, than presses her lips onto his,
kissing him passionately.
She rigorously bounces up and down on top of Dave’s hip.
WOMAN
Ah! Oh God! Oh! Oh! OHHH!
She screams as she reaches orgasm, soon followed by Dave
gasping for air as he unloads his load.
DAVE
Oh yea! AHHH! AHHHH! Oh! Oh!
They separates, lay down on the bed side-by-side looking up
at the ceiling.
Page: 42 of 108
WOMAN
Dave?
DAVE
Yes?
WOMAN
Do you love me?
DAVE
Off course I do. You mean the whole
world to me.
A moment of silence.
WOMAN
Do you want to do it again?
Yea.
DAVE
(Excited)
Dave gets on top of the woman. He slowly lowers himself
down between her parted legs.
He begins to thrust slowly, the woman moans silently with
every thrust from Dave.
AN OLD MAN’S VOICE
(Startling the young couple)
You young folks always amaze me with
your abundance of energy when it
comes to sex and a lack of energy
when you are in church.
Dave picks up his pistol on the nightstand, turns on the
light and points at an old priest sitting in a chair at the
corner of the room. The woman covers her breasts with the
bed sheet.
WOMAN
Oh God. Who is that?
DAVE
Who the hell are you?
The priest stands up heading toward the bed.
PRIEST
Allow me to introduce myself.
DAVE
Hey! Stay where you are!
PRIEST
Do not be alarmed young man. I come
to help.
Page: 43 of 108
DAVE
How’d you get in here?
PRIEST
Oh I have my ways, but that’s not
important. I came here because you
need my help.
EXT. RESTUARANT DUMPSTER-NIGHT
A chef carries a bag of garbage over his shoulder toward
the dumpster.
CHEF
Damn kid, runs off leaving the damn
garbage for me to do. I got better
things to do then this crap.
The chef drops the garbage bag, scattering its content all
over the ground as he notice a hand sticking out of the
dumpster.
He climbs up the side of the dumpster and lifts the lid.
INT. DUMPSTER
The body of the dishwasher boy with his neck covered in
semi dry blood is on top of the garbage bags.
CHEF
CHEF
Jesus, Mary, mother of god.
As the chef gets down from the dumpster, he losses balance
and fall on to the floor. The chef gets up and turns head
and tails running back toward the restaurant yelling.
CHEF
Call an ambulance, the fucking kid
fainted or something. Fuck he's hurt
real bad!
INT. APARTMENT BEDROOM
The priest is sitting in a chair across from Dave who sits
on his bed. The woman is gone.
PRIEST
So as a way of punishing the people,
God made the most wicked of them all
into what you and I would normally
call a vampire, but all the stories
about vampires are fictitious, that
is only a minuet amount of facts in
those stories are true. So in that
respect, they are not true vampires,
they are like a cross bread between
Page: 44 of 108
a demon and a vampire.
DAVE
I don’t really follow what you are
trying to tell me.
PRIEST
Let me try this again. You’re
assumption was right, you are
dealing with a un-natural creature.
DAVE
How did you know that?
PRIEST
Oh, I have my sources. Let’s just
leave it at that. Now this thing is
not like the vampires you would see
in films. In reality, vampires like
the one you are after are merely
humans exposed to a very rare virus
that shows up every couple thousand
years. This virus is what we in the
biblical profession calls God wrath.
Theologians theorized that God does
not like to directly demonstrate his
power, but likes to do it
indirectly, through something else,
a medium if you will.
DAVE
You expect me to believe that shit?
That’s crazier then my theory.
The phone rings, Dave picks it up.
DAVE
Dave here.
(Beat, energized)
I’ll be right there.
Dave hangs up the phone.
PRIEST
Another one?
DAVE
(Surprised)
Yea. Now please leave.
EXT. BACK OF RESTUARANT-NIGHT
Several police officers are holding back a curious crowd.
Parked police cars separate the onlookers from the
dishwasher boy's body lying on the floor beside the
dumpster pin. Other police officers are sealing the crime
scene with tape.
Page: 45 of 108
A distance from the dumpster are Dave and Agent Nelson,
both wearing rubber gloves questioning a chef.
POLICE CARS
Doug drives pass the curious crowd, parks his car among the other police cars, then steps
out.
CHEF JOEY
CHEF JOEY
When I saw the kid in that dumpster,
I ran back as fast as I fucking can
and I called for somebody to call
nine-one-one.
Dave looks past chef Joey as he catches sight of Doug approaching the dishwasher boy's
body. He turns to Agent Nelson.
DAVE
Hey, you finish up here, I'm going
to go give Doug a low down of the
situation.
DAVE
Dave rush toward Doug.
DOUG
Dave rushes up to him, turns around walking along side of him.
DAVE
Hey Doug, I heard about the prom
thing. Hey look, why don't you give
the kid a break, I mean it's her
last year in high school, let her
enjoy it.
DOUG
You got four hundred and twenty some
bucks to dish out?
Dave tightens his face.
DAVE
Oh, that much aye? Well, just tell
her to get something cheaper then.
Well anyway, we found the fourth
victim.
DOUG
Was it same as the other three?
Dave swallows.
DAVE
Yea, exactly the same. You know,
this case is getting me real
nervous.
How so?
DOUG
Page: 46 of 108
DAVE
Well a priest broke into my
apartment and set there and watched
while I was having sex.
(Sarcastic)
Then tells me that we are dealing
with a thing created by a divine
force, and then he went on saying
something about it being God’s
revenge or wrath, whichever.
(Beat)
You want my opinion? I think we
should just bail on this one.
DOUG
Would you want one of your
girlfriends killed by this guy?
DAVE
Of course not. Expect for a few.
DOUG
Then we have to stop him.
(Beat)
Did anyone see it happen?
DAVE
No one so far.
Doug and Dave arrive at the dishwasher boy's body. Doug
pulls out a rubber gloves from his pocket, puts it on and
kneels down examining the teenager's puncture wound.
DOUG
See any resemblance with the other
three?
DAVE
Yea, same puncture marks. But I said
that already.
DOUG
Yes, but see how it's always a vital
artery that's punctured?
He squints his eyes, staring at the victim’s finger.
DOUG
What’s this?
Doug picks up the victim’s hand, looks at the bloodstain
under the fingernails. He takes samples of the bloodstain
with a cotton swab from his coat pocket then drops it in a
plastic bag. He seals the bag before putting it back in his
coat pocket.
Agent Nelson walks over holding a wallet. He crouches down beside the other two
detectives.
Page: 47 of 108
AGENT NELSON
They found this over in the parking
lot. It might be the kid's.
Doug takes the wallet and flips through it. Pull out a driver’s license with and teenager’s
photo and the name Timothy Sowa on it.
Empty.
DOUG
AGENT NELSON
Well, that explains it, the kid was
robbed.
Doug looks at Agent Nelson who is ready to leave.
DOUG
What about the fact that he's
drained of blood?
AGENT NELSON
Some deranged thief.
Yea?
DOUG
CROWD
A couple in their forties and two teenage girls squeezes their way through the crowd.
They duck under the crime scene tape toward the teenager’s body.
A police officer tries to stop them.
POLICE OFFICER
Sir, you cannot cross this line,
this is a restricted area.
MAN
Don't you dare tell me where I can
and cannot go, my son was murdered
here tonight, and I have very God
given right to be here!
The police officer backs off letting the family through. The family storms toward the two
detectives and Agent Nelson conversing beside the dishwasher boy's corpse. The news
team cameras focus on the family.
DETECTIVES AND AGENT NELSON
AGENT NELSON
Why would he go after a boy if he
were also after the money? It just
doesn't make sense, the kid had
barely anything, definitely no more
then twenty dollars on him.
Doug stands up, turns to the family as they storm up to him. The detectives and Agent
Nelson stands up facing the enraged father standing in front of the weeping mother and
sisters.
Mr. Sowa?
DOUG
Page: 48 of 108
MAN/MR. SOWA
Yea, that's me,
(Points to himself)
Have you damn cops found who killed
my son yet?
Mr. Sowa looks down at his son's body, then back at the detectives.
MR. SOWA
I what to know who did this to my
son, you hear me?
Mr. Sowa breaks down in tears. His family comforts him as Doug hands the teenager's
wallet to Mr. Sowa.
DOUG
We don't know yet sir, but is this
your son's wallet?
Mr. Sowa snaps the wallet from Doug's hand.
MR. SOWA
Let me see that. Empty, you fucking
cops are nothing but petty theirs.
Mr. Sowa launches at Doug, A police officer holds Mr. Sowa
back.
DOUG
Look sir, we didn't steal anything
from your son's wallet. We found it
in the parking lot. We think he
might have resisted an robbery. I'm
truly sorry for your lose.
MR. SOWA
Your sorry, you don't know what it's
like to loose your only son. Damn
you cops, where the fuck were you
when my kid was in trouble? Huh?
Answer me that God damn it.
Mrs. Sowa looks around nervously.
MR. SOWA
Why the fuck do we keep you lazy
bums around off our tax money if you
can't even do your damn job? I'll
tell you why there wasn't any cop
around when my son was murdered. Its
because all the freaking cops in
this town are in the fucking
doughnut shops sitting on their lazy
behinds stuffing themselves away
with sweats, that's why.
Mr. Sowa's wife puts her hand on Mr. Sowa's shoulder as he looks around nervously.
MRS. SOWA
Honey, it's not their fault.
He shrugs his wife’s hand off his shoulder.
Page: 49 of 108
MR. SOWA
Stay out of it Kirsten, its all
their fucking fault.
He looks down at the ground trying to control his rage.
AGENT NELSON
Mr. Sowa I assure you, we will bring
whoever is responsible for your
son's death to justice.
MR. SOWA
Well you just make sure you do that.
Dave hurries away. Doug turns to Mr. Sowa and hands him his business card taken from
his pocket.
DOUG
I'm really sorry for your lose. Give
me a call if you can think of anyone
who might have wanted to murder your
son.
Mr. Sowa takes the business card from Doug's hand.
DOUG
Thank you for your time.
The Sowas leaves the scene in grievance.
The chef that ordered Timmy out with the garbage strolls
over to Mr. Sowa and says something to him.
Mr. Sowa yells something back, than all hell breaks loose
as chef one says something else back slightly agitated. Mr.
Sowa attacks the chef, knocking him to the ground, punching
him in the face repeatedly in front of his shocked family.
MR. SOWA
You bastard! You fucking bastard!
Doug and two police officers rush toward the two fighting
men.
The two police officers reach the fighting men before Doug, and pull them apart.
POLICE OFFICER
(Restraining Mr. Sowa)
Ok that’s enough! That’s enough man!
Cool it!
INT. AGENT NELSON'S CAR ON HIGHWAY-NIGHT

INT. O'DANIEL'S LUXURIOUS LIVING ROOM-NIGHT
O'Daniel paces back and forth behind his leather sofa
talking on his portable phone.
O'DANIEL
Agent Nelson, I want you to make
them believe that DeBaun is alive
and part of an underground Satanic
Cult, and that's why he drain his
victim of their blood. Do you
understand?
INT. AGENT NELSON'S CAR
AGENT NELSON
Yes sir, I understand you sir, but
they won't believe me unless I have
hard evidence to show them.
INT. O'DANIEL'S LIVING ROOM
O'DANIEL
That's wont be a problem. You'll get
your hard evidences two days from

O'Daniel turns off his phone strolling toward his mini-bar.
INT. AGENT NELSON'S CAR
AGENT NELSON
Thank you sir?
Agent Nelson shrugs to loosen his shoulder, shuts off his
cellular phone, tossing it onto the empty passenger seat.
INT. HOTEL LOBBY
DeBaun stands patiently at the receptionist counter. The receptionist types several
commands into his computer.
RECEPTIONIST
(Smiles)
It’ll be just a few more minutes,
our computer is a little slow today.
The printer prints out the receipt. The receptionist tears
the receipt off the printer giving himself a deep paper cut
on his index finger. DeBaun looks aside avoid looking at
the receptionist's cut as the receptionist hands him his
receipt and magnetic card.
DEBAUN
Sorry, I can't stand blood, but
thank you for all your help.
Page: 51 of 108
RECEPTIONIST
Don't worry about it, I understand.
DeBaun hurries away toward the elevators as the receptionist places a Band-Aid over the
cut.
INT. DOUG'S CAR-DAY
Agent Nelson's cell phone rings.
AGENT NELSON

A few seconds as Agent Nelson listen to his phone.

(Beat)
Ok, thanks.
Agent Nelson puts his cellular phone away.
AGENT NELSON
Guys, DeBaun rented a room at
Fredrick Inn on Fifty-first Street
and Main last night. If we are lucky
we might catch him there.
Dave turns on the portable police light in the car as Doug
makes a sharp U-turn through the medium causing several
cars to screech to a stop honking their horns.
AGENT NELSON
Fuck, with your driving we’d be
trying to solve this case in a
morgue.
DAVE
He hasn't killed me yet, and it's
been three years now.
INT. FREDERICK INN HALLWAY
Agent Nelson and Dave are against the wall adjacent to the
door to DeBaun's room. Doug stands in front of the door.
Agent Nelson carefully inserts the magnetic key card,
CLICK, the light on the lock changes from red to green.
Dave slowly turns the door hand until a CLICK. He opens the
door slightly. Doug rushes up to door, kicks it open and
leads Agent Nelson and Dave into the room.
INT. HOTEL ROOM
The two detectives and Agent Nelson stand side by side in
front of the door with their sidearm ready scanning the

Page: 52 of 108
AGENT NELSON
As the two detectives check the room, Agent Nelson press
against the wall beside the bathroom door, tabs it open
with his foot, and steps in to the bathroom with his pistol
ready.
Both detectives relax their guard in the middle of the room.
Agent Nelson sweeps the room with his eyes, walks out of the bathroom putting his gun
away looking around as he strolls the room.
Dave kicks the chair in frustration.
DAVE
Damn it. He’s gone.
EXT. STREET-DAY
DeBaun walks down the busy sidewalk. A Red Cross blooddrive truck drives past. DeBaun’s eyes follow the truck
down the street where it makes a turn.
He licks his teeth, eyes change for a brief moment a he
blinks, turns around marching down the street in the
direction of the Red Cross truck.
INT. MONISTARY
The priest sits in front of his desk flipping through an
old book. Dave stands beside him, not particularly
interested. The priest finds the page.
PRIEST
Uhm, here it is. Now let’s see.
(Skims the pages)
In order to kill the feign, you must
cut off it’s head.
DAVE
What about silver bullets or stakes?
PRIEST
No, those do not work. Only
beheading.
The priest gets out of his seat.
PRIEST
Follow me, I have something for you.
Dave follows the priest out of the room.
HALLWAY
The priest leads Dave to an old wooden door. He opens the
door for Dave.
PRIEST

Dave boldly enters the room.
INT. ROOM
The priest closes the door behind him. He walks over to the
side of the bookshelf, pull with all his might.
The bookshelf swings open like a door revealing a tunnel.
The priest flips the switch at the entrance, turning on a
roll of florescent light leading down the tunnel. He waves
for Dave to follow him.
Dave follows the priest into the tunnel.
INT. TUNNEL
All along the wall are preserved bodies of warriors suited
in armor contained in plastic encasements.
At the end of the short tunnel is an Japanese Samurai sword
set on a stone table.
The priest takes the sword from its stand and hands it to
Dave.
For you.
PRIEST
DAVE
(Take sword)
Thanks, but why me? Aren’t you
suppose to give this to a samurai to
use?
PRIEST
Of course, you are the samurai. We
know about your training in Ninjasu.
(Beat, Dave surprised)
Guard this with your life; this is a
sacred sword that has been with the
sacred order of the wondering
knights.
DAVE
(Laughs)
Sacred order of the wondering
knights? Ha. Nice name.
PRIEST
Don’t be fooled by the name, it is a
very elite order in the Catholic
Church, we are the ones responsible
for purging the world of demons and
feigns. This sword has killed half a
thousand-cursed souls, it was a gift
to the order.
Page: 54 of 108
DAVE
A sacred sword from Japan? I though
they were into emperor worshipping?
PRIEST
Yes, that may be true, but the first
known case of demons appeared in
Asia, and despite their pagan
beliefs, God did bless this samurai
sword for the sole purpose of
slaying the cursed souls. We do not
know the original owner of this
sword for it has been passed down
the generation to the worthiest
samurai. And now, I pass this sword
on to you.
DAVE
I don’t want it.
PRIEST
But you must have it, you have an
inner strength that lay dormant most
of the time, but when it is
unlocked, may God have mercy on your
enemies. Now go my child and make
this world safe again, you have my
blessing.
INT. DAVE'S CAR-NIGHT

WOMAN'S VOICE
Hotel Service. I got the razor you
called for.
DeBaun sits up in bed.
DEBAUN
Give me a sec. I'll be right over.
Page: 55 of 108
DeBaun gets up from bed hurrying to the door. He opens the

CLEANING WOMAN
Here you go sir.
DeBaun stares into the cleaning woman's eyes.
Yes?
CLEANING WOMAN
DEBAUN
You got the most gorgeous eyes I
have ever seen.
Cleaning woman blushes.
CLEANING WOMAN
Why thank you for that complement
senor.
DEBAUN
Why don't you come in here and we
can, I don’t know, chat a little?
CLEANING WOMAN
No sir, I am working right now.
DeBaun pulls out a hundred-dollar bill stuffing it in her
hand.
DEBAUN
Oh, how about you come in here and
work a little for me? I'm giving you
a very generous pay.
CLEANING WOMAN
(Repulsed)
No! Who do you take me as?
DeBaun holds up his hand.
DEBAUN
That’s not what I meant. What I
meant with the money is that I hire
you for a few minutes so that we can
talk, get to know each other. I sure
didn’t mean what you thought I
meant. So what do you say? Can we
chat?
The cleaning woman thinks for a few moments.
CLEANING WOMAN
Well I really shouldn't, but since
there’s not much to do around here
today, I guess, all right, we can
talk.
Page: 56 of 108
DEBAUN

cleaning woman to sit down beside him. The cleaning woman
sits down.
DEBAUN
So, what's your name?
Sarah.
CLEANING WOMAN
He brushes the few strain of her loose hair aside.
DEBAUN
Sarah, that's a beautiful name,
almost as beautiful as you are, you
know that?
Cleaning woman smiles sheepishly.
CLEANING WOMAN
You are pretty handsome yourself.
INT. HOTEL LOBBY
Dave let go of the elevator door as Doug steps in. The door
closes.
INT. HOTEL ROOM
DeBaun is on top of the cleaning woman kissing her
passionately, his lips gradually moves down to the side of
her neck, then SHWWWK, SHWWWK the cleaning woman howlers in
pain as she pounds on DeBaun's back with her fist. DeBaun
gulps down her blood.
The cleaning woman reaches over to the nightstand feeling
for something to attack DeBaun with. She grabs the open
bible, grabs it and proceeds to hammer at DeBaun’s back
with it.
Bang, bang, bang, the people in the next room pounds on the wall.

Doug take position on either side of the door, Agent Nelson
takes a few steps back from the door, then rushes up to the
door and kicks it down.
INT. HOTEL ROOM
DeBaun stands by the window staring at the woman on the bed
moaning meekly as she breath heavily, struggling with each
breath.
The door slams down to the floor, Agent Nelson rushes in
followed by Dave and Doug with pistol held in front of him.
AGENT NELSON
Freeze DeBaun! Federal agent! Don’t
move!
Dave glances at the woman lying on the bed.
Sarah?
DAVE
Dave glances over at his victim. The woman turns her head
slightly toward him and blinks. Dave rush to the woman’s
side.
Oh shit!
DAVE
DeBaun gave looks back at Agent Nelson and laughs.
DEBAUN
You think I'm going to surrender
myself because you have some little
toy in your hand, those things can't
hurt me.
Page: 58 of 108
DeBaun points to Agent Nelson.
DEBAUN
I am a monster now, thanks to you
people.
Bang, Bang, Bang, Dave empties his gun into DeBaun as he
gets up on his feet and charges at DeBaun.

Stop!
DOUG
AGENT NELSON
DeBaun falls out of the window. The of them rush to the
window looking down.
Dave turns back to the weakening woman, takes off his shirt

DeBaun steps out of the dumpster, looks up with his wrist
held out together as if hand cuffed.
DEBAUN
Come on, put me behind bars, put me

Doug rushes back to Dave, put a hand on his shoulder.
DOUG
Is she going to be all right?
Dave looks back up at Doug with watery eyes.
DAVE
For now. She didn’t loose too much

Doug nods and picks up the phone on the nightstand beside
the bed and dials.
DOUG
I’ll call for an ambulance.
DOUG
This is Detective Goodwin, serial
number one three two zero seven six,
I need an ambulance over here right
now. My position is 53rd street and
Main, room 205 in the Holiday Inn
hotel.
(Beat)
One victim, Female, approximate age.
Doug is shocked to find Dave holding the woman’s hand praying when he turns toward
Dave.
EXT. HOTEL PARKING LOT
An ambulance parks in front of the side entrance. Agent
Nelson and Doug burst through the double door and holds it
open for a team of medical technicians as they wheel the
woman out on a stretcher. Dave follows the medical
technicians out.
Dave races pass the medical technician to be beside the
woman. He takes her hand into his and forces a smile on his
face. The woman grins back.
The medical technician loads the woman into the ambulance,
two of the three technicians climb in the back with her
while the other hurries to the front and gets into the
driver seat.
As Dave is about to climb into the back of the ambulance,
one of the technician stops him.
MEDIAL TECHNICIAN
Sir, are you a family member?
Page: 60 of 108
No.
DAVE
MEDICAL TECHNICIAN
I’m sorry sir, you can’t come with
us.
Dave simple nods in recognition.
DAVE
You just give her to best care there
is. You understand?
The technician closes the ambulance door. Doug walks up
beside Dave. They watch the ambulance race away.
Doug pads Dave on the shoulder.
DOUG
Come on partner; let’s go meet her
in the hospital.
Dave whips the tears from his cheek as he allows Doug to
lead him away. Agent Nelson watches at a distance.
INT. DANCE CLUB-NIGHT
DeBaun is dancing at the dance floor.
DEBAUN
He walks up to the bar leaning on the counter beside an
attractive brunette drinking a bottle of beer. He waves to
the bartender.
DEBAUN
Beer. Miller.
The bartender slides an open bottle of Bud Light down the
counter to him. He swallows a mouthful before turning to
the brunette.
DEBAUN
Hey, what's your name?
The brunette glances at DeBaun.
BRUNETTE
You want my name? What for?
DEBAUN
Cause you’re a pretty lady?
The brunette giggles.
BRUNETTE
(Smiles)
Kathryn.
Page: 61 of 108
DEBAUN
That's a lovely name Kathryn, name's
Will.
Extend his hand to her. She accepts his hand shack. DeBaun
raises her hand toward his lips, and kisses the back of her
hand.
DEBAUN
I just got back from duty in Africa,
about a month ago.
KATHRYN
Wow, a really live GI Joe?
DEBAUN
(Smiles)
Yep, Green Beret all the way.
A new Song starts up; DeBaun stands up offering his hand to
the Brunette.
Shall we?
DEBAUN
Brunette gives the DeBaun a badly imitated salute.
BRUNETTE
Yes sir.
DeBaun and Kathryn walk onto the dance floor.
INT. HOSPITAL-OUTSIDE PATIENT ROOM
Doug sits outside the patient room waiting.
Inside the patient room, Dave is sitting next to the woman
holding her hand as they talk. Dave pads the back of her
hand then sets it down beside her and walks toward the
door.
Dave walks out of the patient room. Doug looks up, opens is
mouth to ask something.
DAVE
She’s asleep.
Dave sits down beside Doug.
DOUG
She must mean something special to
you.
DAVE
She was my girlfriend in Junior High
and part of high school.
DOUG
What happened between you two?
Page: 62 of 108
DAVE
Her family moved in the summer of my
Junior year and I didn’t think much
of keeping in touch with her. By the
time school came around I realized
how much she meant to me, but it was
too late.
DOUG
Why didn’t you go look for her?
DAVE
I did, but by then she already got
together with someone else. I found
that out through her friend. When I
found out that she was going to go
to the Naval academy, I applied as
well.
DOUG
But you didn’t get accepted?
DAVE
No, I did, but she didn’t, so it
turned out that she went ahead and
did the ROTC program at Michigan. I
guess that’s why I went into special
force after graduation because they
travel frequently from base to base
and with a little luck I can meet up
with Sarah again.
DOUG
Well I guess that was a hopeless
dream, she never made it through
ROTC or College.
DAVE
Oh no, she did, she just helps her
parents out when she’s free. Her
father is the manager of that hotel.
(Beat)
Doug, I want you to promise me
something.
DOUG
Yea, sure anything.
DAVE
When we find DeBaun, I want him
dead, not put behind bars. You
promise?
DOUG
Yea, I promise.
Page: 63 of 108
INT. PARKING LOT
DeBaun walks the brunette to her car, opens the door for
her after she unlocks it with her car with her key. DeBaun
leans against the car door smiling as she sits down on the
driver's seat.
BRUNETTE
Thanks, I had a wonderful time
today.
DEBAUN
Yea, maybe we can do the same thing
tomorrow night, what do you say
about that?
BRUNETTE
Are you asking me out on a date?
DEBAUN
You can call it that.
BRUNETTE
Well, I don't know when I'll be free
tomorrow, but let me give you my
number and you can try to get a hold
of me tomorrow.
The brunette writes on a sheet of paper she took out of her
purse. As she finishes writing down the first three
numbers, she brushes her hair aside exposing her bare neck.
DeBaun shuts his eyes, as he opens his eyes again, his eyes
have mutated into cat eyes. The brunette finishes writing
down the phone number, she puts her pen away and turns to
DeBaun handing him the slip of paper.
BRUNETTE
Ok, here…Ash!
DeBaun growls then launches forward attacking the woman. The brunette's car rocks
back and forth as her scream fill the air, then complete silence as the car stop rocking.
INT. POLICE CHIEF'S OFFICE-DAY
Dave, Doug, and Agent Nelson sits in front of the Police
Chief's desk. The police officers are very displeased as
Agent Nelson plays it cool.
POLICE CHIEF
Agent Nelson, I'm not questioning
your integrity, but can you please
just explain why are all the
evidences on this case missing from
the evidence locker and the computer
files on the case erased, by you?
AGENT NELSON
How'd you know it was me, it could
Page: 64 of 108
of have been anyone.
POLICE CHIEF
I already have had my men go through
the security tapes and the
computer's history. It was you all
right. Look, I know the FBI got
stuff to hide from the public and
you were probably acting under
orders to remove those evidences,
but you said it yourself, we are on
the same team. These two are my bust
men, they can help you solve this
case, but if you withhold
information from them, they won't be
able to help you much on this case,
and don't tell me you can solve it
by yourself, because that is a loud
of crap.
(Beat)
You tell me the truth or you're off
this investigation.
AGENT NELSON
Ok, ok, those files regarding DeBaun
are classified, not even I have
access to them. All I was told is
that he was treated for some kind of
fatal sickness with some kind of
experimental virus, everything was
fine at first, but then it went
sour. They kept him in isolation for
thirteen month, and then I guess he
got tired of being locked up, so he
broke out, and now the government
wants him back.
DAVE
So what you're saying is that the
Feds screwed up again, right?
Fucking ass government!
POLICE CHIEF
Hey! You just watch yourself.
DOUG
Sir, the one woman that he cared for
just got attacked. That’s why he’s a
little ticked.
POLICE CHIEF
His mother? I thought she’s dead?
DOUG
No, it’s not his mother, but his
high school sweetheart.
Page: 65 of 108
POLICE CHIEF
(Surprised)
He was in a serious relationship for
more then a month?
INT. STRIP CLUB-NIGHT
DeBaun sits at a table with three empty bottles in front of
his half-filled bottle of beer as waitresses in bikinis are
carrying trays of drinks to different tables.
ANOUNCER
(Voice over speakers)
Ladies and Gentlemen, let’s give a
worm welcome to our next gal, Ms.
Hollander.
A stripper dressed in nurse outfit walks onto stage. As she
strips, DeBaun pushes his way pass wild customers to the
edge of the stage in front of her.
DEBAUN
His eyes are in the cat eye mode, then without warning he
lunge up for the stripper. He misses her by a few inches.
DeBaun lifts his head up and stick his tongue out. SHWWWK, the rod flies past the
stripper's head. SHWWWK, it retracts.
The customers all backs away from DeBaun.
The stripper turns to flee, she trips and falls.
STRIPPER
Ahhhh! AHHHHH!
SHWWK, the rode pierces through the stripper's nurse cap.
Two bouncers at the edge of the stage rush toward the
DeBaun brushing customers out of their way as the stripper
backs away from DeBaun weeping.
As DeBaun climbs onto the stage the two bouncers promptly
pull him back down. Bouncer One take an empty beer bottle
and stuffs it into DeBaun's mouth before grabby him by the
arm dragging him toward the door. The customers boo DeBaun
as he is being dragged pass.
DeBaun's rod pierces through the bottom of the bottle. The
rod extends and contracts repeatedly. The stripper walks
off the stage in tears.
EXT. STRIP CLUB-FACING PARKING LOT-NIGHT
The front door of the club bursts open. The two bouncers
toss the DeBaun out. One of the bouncers points his finger
at the DeBaun.
BOUNCER ONE
You get out and stay out.
Page: 66 of 108
BOUNCER TWO
I'll break your face if you ever
decide to come back here again.
Freak!
Bouncer Two spits on the ground beside DeBaun, then turns
heading back into the club with bouncer one, they shuts the
door behind them.
DeBaun push himself up, strolls into the parking lot.

EXT. SPACE OUTSIDE THE SKYSCRAPTER-NIGHT
DeBaun SQUEALS like a monster as he free falls.
SUV
He lands on top of a parked SUV headfirst collapsing in the
SUV's hood, shattering the windows and sounding the car
alarm. Droplets of blood splatter everywhere.
EXT. FRONT ENTRANCE OF SKYSCRAPER-NIGHT
As hotel worker and several customers walks out looking
stunned at DeBaun's body on top of the crushed SUV.
DeBaun sits up and climb off the SUV. The stunned crowd is murmuring among
themselves as DeBaun walks away with his back covered in blood.
An onlooker calls to DeBaun.
ONLOOKER
Hey mister, are you all right?
A patrol car arrives moments later.
INT. POLICE STATION LAB-EARLY AFTERNOON
An enthusiastic lab analyst, STEVEN, greets the two
detectives and Agent Nelson as they step into the lab. They
immediately cover their nose.
AGENT NELSON
God, what's that awful smell?
STEVEN
Formaldehyde. Gentlemen, the blood
sample you give me, it is not human.
You people made a mistake somewhere.
Page: 67 of 108
DOUG
What are you talking about? That's
impossible, I took the sample myself
and I brought it straight to you.
There can't be any contamination
done to the sample.
Steven shakes his head.
STEVEN
I don't know how, but this cannot be
of human origin or from any life
form known to mankind.
Steven waves for the group to follow him
STEVEN
Come here, you must see this for
yourself.
They follow Steven to a sophisticated machine. Steven takes
a slide on his desk and slides it into the machine.
STEVEN
Look, here is the sample you gave
me, observe.
Steven turns on the machine. The screen on the machine
shows a column of data beside the magnified image of the
blood sample.
STEVEN
If this is not a joke.
DAVE
Steven. It ain't a joke.
STEVEN
Then you guys stumbled on something
unprecedented before.
The three men look at Steven curiously. Steven points to
one of many oval cell with a large nucleus in the center
displayed on the monitor.
STEVEN
If you will look closely at those
cells, what do you see?
AGENT NELSON
Normal blood cells?
STEVEN
No! Those are not your everyday
normal blood cells, they are
Biconvex cells…they don't transport
oxygen but nitrogen to the body, and
look at that, see that column?
Page: 68 of 108
DOUG
Yes I see the column. What’s so
special about it?
STEVEN
That's the one for percent
concentration of white blood cells
in your sample, and it is way off
the chart. And look those, those
things are not hemoglobin like the
ones inside you and me, those are
mutated hemoglobin.
AGENT NELSON
So, who or what this blood might
belong to?
Steven turns to him.
STEVEN
I do not know, but look at the
concentration of Uric Acid and
phosphorous, they are way too high,
normally we should have less then
0.03 percent of these substances in
our blood stream; these are very
very bad stuff. If it is slightly
higher then 0.03 percent, it will
kill you instantly.
He slaps his finger.
STEVEN
Just like that, a human body is a
very delicate piece of hardware, any
slight imbalance can force your body
to shut down as a way to protect its
self and you will die.
AGENT NELSON
I have to agree with Doctor Klos.
Frankly Doug, these things found in
your sample are impossible to be
present in human blood, so obviously
a mistake or two is made somewhere.
STEVEN
Thanks for the support, but I have
one more thing to share with you, I
did some tests on this sample like
the usual chemical panel test,
things like that, well, to make the
story short, I accidentally spill a
bottle of Ecoli bacterium while
performing the test, some of the
bacterium got into the sample.
Page: 69 of 108
DOUG
So that explains the incorrect
results.
STEVEN
Yes, these results were not correct,
but the ones I showed you just a few
minutes ago are from uncontaminated
sample. But back to what I was
saying, when I took a look at the
contaminated sample, I found no
trace of Ecoli in it, now I know I
saw several drops of Ecoli infested
solution land in the sample.
AGENT NELSON
So, it wasn’t contaminated, big
deal.
STEVEN
Big deal? There’s no E-bola in the
sample and I know there should be.
This thing that you found holds the
key to curing many diseases, such as
AIDS.
DOUG
AIDS? You tested with AIDS? I
thought that that's against the rule
here.
STEVEN
Well yea it is, but you know what?
Your sample got rid of the AIDS
virus within an hour, its
incredible.
AGENT NELSON
That's impossible? There must have
been some kind of mistake. Why don't
you do the test over again.
STEVEN
Sure, I can do it right now.
Agent Nelson looks at his watch.
AGENT NELSON
Well, I got to go right now, but why
don't you do it for us oh let’s say
tomorrow morning around nine?
STEVEN
Nine o’clock tomorrow morning should
be ok.
AGENT NELSON
Good, I have to attend a meeting in
Page: 70 of 108
thirty minutes. I'll see you boys
tomorrow morning then.
Agent Nelson gives the two detectives and Steven a goodbye wave as he leaves the lab.

As the driver drinks his coffee, a hand taps the window beside him.

DeBaun thrust a knife across his neck, slicing the man's
throat, blood squirt out of the wound onto the man's
shoulder as he gages for breath.
DEBAUN
That's right, I am not your partner.
The Suited Man takes his last desperate gasp. DeBaun slams
the suited man's head against the dashboard.
DEBAUN
Keep up the good work.
He laughs as he gets out of the car.

He takes out a pen shaped remote detonator from his pocket

fingers deep into Agent Nelson's shoulder blade, while
punching the Agent under the arm pit with his other hand.
Agent Nelson cries out in pain. Both Dave and Doug try to
pull DeBaun off of Agent Nelson only to be kicked back by
DeBaun.
DeBaun remove his bloody fingers from Agent Nelson's
shoulder blade, and lowers his mouth on the bleeding wound.
He lift his bloody face up letting out an animal holler,
then deliver a knuckle punch to the midsection of the
Agent's spin.
CRACK, the Agent's legs give way, collapsing to the ground
in pain.
DeBaun gets off of Agent Nelson. He takes off running down

right, spots the two detectives and walks toward them with a serious grin.
Doug lifts his head up as the Police Chief sits down beside him.
DOUG
Oh hey boss.
POLICE CHIEF
Boys, I got some bad news. Special
Agent Brian Nelson murdered Steven
Klos. He murdered Steven Klos in
cold blood, first-degree offense,
you know the routine.
DOUG
How'd you know it was him? You said
it yourself that they couldn't see
the suspect's the face on the
security camera.
POLICE CHIEF
That's what I thought until internal
affair brought in a security tape
Page: 78 of 108
from their own hidden cameras that
they installed a year back and told
no one about.
Doug hangs his head as Dave rubs his face with his hands.
DAVE
(Tired)
Ahhh, I never expect that.
POLICE CHIEF
Believe me, it came as a shock to me
as well. I guess you guys know what
this means, yep we’re going to have
to move him to the criminal ward and
that means you two’s going to have
to watch him.
Police Chief pats Doug on the shoulder before strolling
back toward the elevator.

DOCTOR
The doctor leans back in his chair.
The screen crashes down onto the floor beside of the
doctor, he looses his balance falling onto the floor. He
gets up with a deep cut on his chine, covering his wound,
he looks around dazed.
DOCTOR
What the hell.
DeBaun jumps behind the doctor unnoticed. SHRRRRK, the rod
from his tongue pieces into the back of the doctor's neck,
then SHRRRK, it retracts back.
The doctor exhales his breath and falls to the floor.
DeBaun yanks the bleeding corpse up, covers his mouth over the bleeding wound.
EXT. HALLWAY
DeBaun walks through the hospital in the doctor's uniform.
A friendly nurse stops the doctor.
Oh doctor.
NURSE
DeBaun turns to face the nurse.
Yes. Miss?
DEBAUN
NURSE
Thompson. Uhm, there is a patient
with multiple gunshot wound in the
ER, they need you over there right
away.
DEBAUN
Sure, thanks, O, where's the ER?
NURSE
(Surprised)
Where it always have been, down the
hall to the right.
DEBAUN
Yea right, thank you.
DeBaun turns around, leaving.
NURSE
Oh, another thing Doctor
DeBaun turns back around. The nurse gestures to DeBaun's collar.
NURSE
You got some bloodstains on your
collar.
Page: 80 of 108
DEBAUN
Oh, that that’s from the last
patient.
The nurse leaves. DeBaun stand dazed for a moment, then
resumes his course.
INT. CRIMINAL WARD
DeBaun walks past the receptionist desk to the gate. He
turns to the receptionist.
DEBAUN
Hey, can you please open this cage
up?
Receptionist looks up at the doctor and shrugs. BUZZZ, the
gate unlocks. DeBaun slides the gate open and enters the
criminal ward.
DEBAUN
DeBaun walks past a sleeping cop, and then the two tired detectives.
He nods to Doug and Dave as he enters Agent Nelson's room.
INT. ROOM
DeBaun closes the door gently, then walks to Agent Nelson's
bed near the window. He covers Agent Nelson's mouth with
duck tape from his pocket. Agent Nelson wakes up, his cry
for help is muffled. DeBaun presses his index finger
against his lips.
DEBAUN
Shhhhhh.
(Smiles)
Remember me?
Agent Nelson struggles to free himself as he mumbles.
DEBAUN
That's right. You see what you guys
turned me into?
DeBaun takes out a rubber tube collected to a cork at one
end and a syringe needle at the other, then he takes out
two large flasks from the pocket of his lab coat.
He unwraps a package of rubbing alcohol and rubs the cotton
over the protruding vein on the Agent's arm. He picks up
the syringe.
DEBAUN
This'll hurt just a bit.
He inserts the syringe into Agent Nelson's vein and stuffs
the cork onto the flask's opening. Immediately blood flows
through the thin tube into the flask.
Page: 81 of 108
DeBaun sits in the chair beside Agent Nelson's bed
whistling as he watch the flask fill up.
Agent Nelson is shocked to see his own blood been drained.
LATER
As the flask fills, he replaces the flask with an empty
one, then he gobbles the blood down and licks his lips
clean with satisfaction.
The heart monitor sounds revealing a flat line. DeBaun
reaches over and smash his fist into the machine.
EXT. RECEPTIONIST DESK OF CRIMINAL WARD
A doctor leads several nurses run toward the caged gate.

Doug and Dave enter the room, brush pass the nurses and
points their sidearm at DeBaun.
Page: 82 of 108
DOUG
Hold it right where you are DeBaun!
There’s nowhere to run now.
DeBaun tosses the flask toward Doug. Dave shoots the glass
without hesitation, scattering blood all over the
detectives and medical personals.
As the detectives and hospital personals turn away,
shielding their face from flying glasses, DeBaun does a
flip, landing on the ceiling and crawls out of the room at
an incredible speed.
INT. RECEPTIONIST DESK
DeBaun crashes up against the gate as Dave and Doug closes
in on him.
DEBAUN
Open this gate! Come on, God damn

RECEPTIONIST
All right, all right, I'm not a
machine for Christ sakes.
BUZZ, the gate opens. Doug and Dave yell out.
DOUG
Hey! Hey! Close that gate! Close it
before he gets away!
DAVE
Are you blind or something? Shut the
gate!
DeBaun is caught halfway out of the gate. He forces the
cage open then holds the cage long enough for him to slip
through.
As DeBaun flees, he pushes people out of his way. The gate
door slams shut in front of Dave and Doug's face.
Dave takes aim with his pistol and starts to shoot. The
bullets slam into DeBaun’s back. Everyone on the other side
of the gate hits the floor.
CLICK, the clip is spent. Doug yanks the pistol from Dave’s
hand.
BUZZ, the receptionist opens the gate for the detectives.
Doug hands Dave his pistol back.

head of a blond bounces up and down, giving him a blowjob.
RING, RING, O'Daniel picks up the phone on beside him.
Hello?
O'DANIEL
O’DANIEL
As he listens, his facial expression turns into a frown.
The blond raises her head up.
BLOND
Something wrong?
O’Daniel pushes her head back down.
O’DANIEL
Now something’s wrong. Don’t stop.
O'DANIEL
Get the team assembled and ready to

He runs past a tall business building surrounded with dark
glass windows. Doug and Dave pursues close behind in their
car.
A police car pulls up in front of DeBaun from a side
street.
DeBaun stops, he glances back and forth between the fat cop
getting out of his patrol car approaching him with his gun
drawn and the two detectives pacing toward him with their
guns ready. He looks up at the six-story business building
with ordinary windows and white plastered walls next to the
business building
He jumps on the wall of the building, crawling to the rooftop like a spider.
FAT COP
The fat cop shakes his head in disbelief looking up at
DeBaun crawling up the wall on all fours.
FAT COP
(Mumbling to himself)
What the hell?
DETECTIVES
Doug stays back providing cover for Dave as he tries to
shatter the large window on the front door with his elbow,
no effect except to hurting his elbow.
As Dave rubs his elbow, Doug waves for him to step back.
DOUG
Dave, step aside.
Doug fires several shots at the glass. The bullets bounce
off the glass with no effect.
DOUG
Damn, bulletproof glass.
He catches sight of the magnetic lock on the door.
Doug takes careful aim and Bang, Bang, Bang, he misses the
lock. Dave covers his face to protect himself as the
bullets ricocheting off the door. Dave waves for Doug to
stop.
DAVE
Stop! You’ll going to get me killed!
Page: 85 of 108
Dave points his gun at the magnetic lock, shoots the lock
to pieces. He slides the door open easily. As Dave walks
into the dark lobby, lights turns on revealing a very well
furnished lobby.

elevator go all the way to the roof
at least.
DAVE
Quite complaining, at least they got
an elevator.
EXT. ROOFTOP
DeBaun climbs onto the rooftop. He walks around nervously
running his hands through his hair, then sits down against
the railing facing the business building trying to stay
calm. His frustration fades away, replaced with hope as he
stares at the business building.
BANG, the door at the center of the roof is forced open,
Dave and Doug blast out through the door. Dave spots
DeBaun, he takes aim and fires. Doug turns and points his
gun at DeBaun.
The impact of Dave’s bullets smashing into DeBaun’s face
forces DeBaun backwards.
DOUG
(Yelling at Dave)
Dave! This is not the way!
Dave gives Doug a quick glance.
DAVE
Well it is for me!
CLICK, CLICK, Dave quickly reloads his gun.
DeBaun turns and leaps over the side toward the business building.
Page: 86 of 108
Both detectives rush to the side of the building watching DeBaun freefall.
EXT. SIDE OF BUILDING

glass wall of the business building. He rests there for a
few seconds to catch his breath, and then he begins to
climb up the tall business building.
EXT. BUILDING ROOFTOP
Dave and Doug watch DeBaun crawl up the side of the
business building. Dave gives Doug a bone-chilling glance.
DAVE
Don’t you ever stick up for that guy
again, or I’ll kill the both of you.
Doug is shocked, he chases after Dave.
DOUG
Damn it Dave! We’re not on one of
those suicide missions you did in
the Navy. There are rules you now,
rule that we have to follow. You
can’t go around killing anyone that
crosses you.
DAVE
You better pull your head out of
your ass and take direct action,
because if you let him slip through
our fingers again, I’m going to kill
you.
DOUG
Damn it! This is crazy. This is not
one of your black op missions.
It is now.
DAVE
EXT. SIX-STORY BUILDING
The detectives rush out of the building toward the adjacent
building. Doug yells to the chubby cop.
DOUG
Call for the SWAT team, we’re going
in.
Two helicopters fly overhead toward the business building
executing landing procedures.
Doug stops Dave.
DOUG
Maybe we should wait for backup. I
Page: 87 of 108
don’t feel comforting to go in there
without any backup.
No.
DAVE
Doug grabs Dave by the arm.
DOUG
I’m serious. Look, you’ll get your
chance, I promise.
DAVE
Yea, you’re right.
Dave thinks for a few seconds.
As the police officers look up at the unmarked helicopters,
a black van pulls up front of the business building beside
the police cars.
The driver gets out of the van with O'Daniel, both dressed
like the SWAT team. They walk to the back of the van, and
opens the door, letting out five men dressed like the SWAT

if anyone, he knows more about
killing then law enforcement.
O'DANIEL
(Points to Dave)
Ok, you can come but you do exactly
what I say.
DAVE
My partner comes too.
O’Daniel ponders for a moment.
O’DANIEL
Ok, but you two better do as I say.
O'Daniel whispers to the driver.
The Driver nods and runs back into the van. He comes back
with two bulletproof vests, helmets, and machineguns
tossing them at Dave and Doug.
Dave and Doug put the gear on with the help of police
officers. O'Daniel talks into his radio.

security guard's legs taking him down.
O'Daniel gets up and walks to the howling security guard
followed by the team. He kicks the security guard onto his
back.
O'DANIEL
(Shocked)
You're not DeBaun.
Security Guard shakes his head petrified. O'Daniel becomes
angry again.
O'DANIEL
You killed my man?
SECURITY GUARD
No, no, it wasn't me, it was him,
him, it was all him, he did it.
O'DANIEL
I am a man of honor and truth, I
don't like liars, and I can tell

O'Daniel cocks his gun. Doug grabs hold of the gun's
barrel.
DOUG
Wait, what if he telling the truth?

holds the soldier’s head in the toilet as the soldier
struggles fiercely.
The soldier exhales, blowing bubbles in the toilet water
and goes limp.
DeBaun walks out leaving the first soldier with his head in

Two soldiers cautiously advance past pipes, scanning their
surrounding nervously.
AXE ON WALL
A hand grabs the axe from the firebox on the wall as two
soldiers walk by pipes.
TWO SOLDIER
WOSH, the axe cut deep into the pipe beside the soldiers
causing high-pressurized gas bursting out burning the two
soldiers. The soldiers are knocked on the ground screaming.
One of the soldier's face is completely burned, he screams
weakly for a few second, then his eyes widen as he takes
his last painful gasp of air.
The other soldier who is partially burned get up on his
feet just as DeBaun charges at him hollering at the top of
his lunges. DeBaun grabs the axe, spins around decapitating
the soldier's head sending it crashing against the pipes
then bounces to the floor.
DeBaun picks up a machinegun and several clips from the
dead bodies then hurry away.
AMONG PIPES
Two soldiers walk toward the heaters, WOOOSH, a shadow dash
by behind them. The soldiers turn around with their weapons
ready.
SOLDIER ONE
What the hell was that?
SOLDIER TWO
Probably a gas leak or something.
They turn around continue on their course.
Page: 93 of 108
HEATERS
DeBaun is walking among the pipes and heaters, alert. His
head jerks slightly to the direction of footsteps.
Same two soldiers advance carefully toward where DeBaun was
seconds ago. DeBaun is nowhere to be seen.
As the two soldiers walk past the heaters, DeBaun springs
up from behind several large pipes shooting at the
soldiers.
The first soldier is thrown back against the boiler from
the impact of the bullets hitting him in the chest. He
slides down the boiler leaving several trails of blood.
The surviving soldier ducks low. When DeBaun ceases fire to
reload his gun, he springs up firing at DeBaun's direction.
DeBaun takes cover behind a roll of pipes.
As DeBaun and the soldier exchange fire, bullets slam into
the heater causing it to leak vapor.
The heater behind the soldier gives a cracking sound. Then
as the soldier turns around toward the heater, it explodes
throwing a wall of boiling water onto the soldier. The
soldier is knocked onto his back.
He screams as boiling water rushes onto his face and over
his body. As the boiling water ceases flowing out of the
boiler, the soldier's skin is disgustingly melted. Skin
hangs loosely down his fingers and nose. He rocks around on
the floor moaning. His clothing is stuck to the ground.
When he turns onto his side, he tears off the entire skin
on his back. The soldier gives out a painful scream before
he dies.

A squeaking sound.
Dave turns around instinctively firing several short bursts at a disappearing shadow.
DAVE
What was that?
DOUG
I don't know, probably a rat or
something.
O'DANIEL
No, can't be, rats don't make that
sound.
Everyone is silent for a minute anticipating another
squeaking sound. O’Daniel points to the soldier next to
him.
O'DANIEL
Men, we need to establish contact

establish contact with Bird, wait
for us, we'll be up in a few
minutes.
Yes sir!
NERDMAN
Nerdman hurries to the elevator.
WHOSH, an axe flies by between Dave and Doug imbedding
itself in the wall. Two detectives and O'Daniel turn to see
a shadow ducking behind several rolls of pipes.
Dave lets loose several bursts at the shadow.
The three of them then stare in shock with their back to
the elevator.

his hand onto the floor.
DeBaun picks up the emergency phone and rips it from the
wall.
DEBAUN
Hello, Nerdman, are you a FBI agent?
NERDMAN
Why do you want to know?
DeBaun goes crazy.
DEBAUN
Just answer my Goddamn question!
Nerdman is trying to hold his fear in.
NERDMAN
What the hell do you think?
DEBAUN
Well I think you are a FBI agent.
DeBaun blinks, transforming his eyes into the familiar cat
eyes. Nerdman begin to tremble as he backs up to a corner.
NERDMAN
Oh shit, please don't kill me, I
didn't do whatever they did to you,
I'm innocent you know, I'm just here
on orders.
Nerdman pisses in his pants. DeBaun looks down.
DEBAUN
Have you no self-control? Can you
not even control your own bladder?
You had a choice of coming or
staying home, and you chose to come.
NERDMAN
But they told, no they ordered me to
come, if I don't I’ll loose my job.
CAPTIAN DEBAUN
Well now you are going to loose more

TAK, TAK, TAK, the doorknob is shot off. The two soldiers
that killed the thief burst into the room.
Page: 98 of 108
The two soldiers fan out searching the room. First soldier

FIRST SOLDIER
(Waving)
Hey! Check this out, latest edition
of Playboy.
Second soldier strides to the counter when the first
soldier is engulfed in the magazine.
DEBAUN
He raises his head up to find the two soldiers entrenched
in the magazine. DeBaun lowers himself down.
As he raises his gun up aiming at the two soldiers, the
powerful blue searchlight from a helicopter shines through
the window onto him.
DeBaun turns to see the helicopter hovering outside the
window, he rolls under the table to the other side just as

Well, well, you really are something
DeBaun.
He kicks DeBaun in the balls. DeBaun bends over as far as
he can grunting in pain.
O'DANIEL
That's for all the trouble you
caused me.
Turn to Dave and Doug.
O'DANIEL
And for you two, I'm afraid you just
know a little too much, I tried to
save your asses down there but you
are too stubborn to realize it. We
just can't allow anyone to know too
much about us and what we do, it
would be a breach of security if we
let you live
DAVE
Hey, all we know is that DeBaun's
wanted for federal offense and
that's all.
O'DANIEL
Well that's what you say, one can

never be too certain can they?

DOUG
What the hell is that?
O'Daniel stops the soldier with a hand gesture.

He examines the duck tape strapping him to the chair.

This is just something to help you
sleep. Mr. DeBaun here will need
some snacks on his way back to where
he belongs, and he worth too much to
us for us to let him go starving now
that we know what he prefers.
(Beat)
Well sorry gentlemen, every victory
has a price to pay, and in this case
it's you two.
O'Daniel nods to soldier. As the soldier is about to inject
Doug with the syringe, DeBaun, pulls free of his bondage.
He turn around sticking his hand in the lead solder's upper
abdomen, pulling out part of the lead soldier's liver with
pieces dropping out of his hand.

through his fingers onto the floor.

firing at DeBaun. DeBaun lifts up his chair using it as a
shield against the soldier as well as O'Daniel who is now
firing with his sub-machine gun.

into DeBaun. Despite the force of impact from the bullets
piercing into him, he holds his ground.

Chopper one, I need you up here
right now!
DeBaun knocks the radio out of O’Daniel’s hand.
O'Daniel slowly backs away from DeBaun as DeBaun looks down
at the turning and twisting Lead Soldier moaning on the
ground. He places his right foot on the lead soldier's
throat pressing down slowly.

throat with no effect while he struggles for air, then his
strength weakens until his eyes rolls back and his hands
fall to his side.
DeBaun looks up at the O'Daniel backing away, he charges at
the Director grabbing onto his hair
DEBAUN
Now you'll see what it is like to be
a victim.
He tilts the Director's head to one side, piercing the side
of his neck with the spear like thing from his tongue, then
lower his mouth on the bleed wound taking large gobbles of
blood as the Director pounds on his back for him to stop.
