The
door EXPLODES inwards,
smoke fills the room as Malice's boys storm in. They
are masked up, firing SHOTS into the ceiling and SCREAMING
SOLDIERS
EVERYBODY
DOWN NOW!! ON THE FAACKIN’ FLOOR!!!
Thompson
is pointing a shotgun in Dan's face, he FIRES a concussion round. Dan
collapses onto the
floor, the left side of his face bloodied and swelling. Layla
runs to her mother,
Terry moves in
front of them. The soldiers surrounding the family. Thompson
talks into his
microphone.
Malice's earpiece crackles.
THOMPSON
(O.S)
Package
secure.
Malice
enters the
room, sees the unconscious Dan. He flashes an evil grin
at the family. Terry
is gripping his mug, tense and furious.
TERRY
Whatchyoudoininmyfaaaackinhouse!!?
Malice
CLICKS his fingers and McLeish and Shaw move towards Terry. He fells
McLeish with a PUNCH to the face. Shaw thrusts the butt of his plasma
rifle hard into Terry's stomach and he falls to his knees. McLeish
gets up, grabs Terry's head and PUNCHES him
in the face several
times. Terry collapses into the corner.
LAYLA/LUCY
NO!!!
Layla
and Lucy rush to his
side. Shaw steps forward and aims his rifle at Layla's head.
SHAW
Don't
you move you fucking slags.
Layla
is crying as she hugs her father. Lucy is stroking his hair, Terry
GROANS. Lucy
stands up
with
fire in her eyes and SPITS
in
McLeish's face.
LUCY
You
fucking scum.
She
stares at him, he grips his shotgun. He wipes
the spit from his
face then grabs Lucy by the throat and gets in her face.
MCLEISH
You've
got a dirty mouth sweetheart.
Layla
rushes at McLeish.
Shaw grabs her vest top and throws her onto the sofa. She rushes to
cover herself with her ripped clothing as Malice steps forward with
his hands up, laughing.
MALICE
Now
now boys,
play nice.
He
stands in front of the tearful frightened Layla, looks down and
grins. Lucy tears McLeish’s hand from her throat, glaring at
Malice.
LUCY
Get
your eyes of my daughter.
Terry
coughs up blood, regaining consciousness. Shaw aims the rifle at his
head. Malice turns to Lucy.
MALICE
Can't
we all just get along?
Lucy
throws a punch at Malice but McLeish holds her back.
LUCY
Fuck
you!
MALICE
You
are a saucy little tiger aren't ya?
He
rubs his hands together and paces across the room.
MALICE
Now,
your husband
here has made contact
with a known terrorist group and he's gona tell
us everything he knows.
LUCY
We're
civilians. We don't know anything.
MALICE
They
all say that. And funnily enough they all talk in the end.
He
squats down by Terry.
MALICE
So
what's it gona be
mate? You tell me what I want to know or I’m
afraid I can't
guarantee the safety of your family.
He
pats Terry on the head, behind him his boys are turning to each other
and grinning.
LUCY
(to Terry)
Don't
tell them a fucking thing babe!
Terry
SPITS blood
at Malice who shuts his eyes as it spatters his face and drips off
his chin.
MALICE
Good
choice.
He
smiles and stands
up.
MALICE
Boys.
McLeish
delivers a savage BACKHAND to Lucy’s face,
spraying blood from her mouth up the wall and knocking
her to the floor. He picks her up by the hair. Out of sight she picks
up a jagged sliver of the steel door as she grabs McLeish's belt with
her left hand.
LUCY
Ok,
ok. Just don't hurt my daughter.
She
wipes blood from the corner of her mouth with her index finger and
sucks it seductively, looking up at McLeish. Shaw pins Terry’s
head to
the floor with
his boot, Terry grimaces
in pain.
SHAW
You
stay there daddy.
McLeish
releases Lucy’s hair
and unzips himself. Her hand grips his belt tight.
She smiles as she looks up at him. She brings her other hand up fast
and stabs him in the groin with the jagged steel. He SCREAMS
as she rips it out,
blood spurts out of his fly onto her face.
She SCREAMS as
she stabs him again. Davey strikes her in the right eye, knocking her
down. Layla jumps
up and rushes to her mother. Malice
steps in.
MALICE
Where
you goin?
He
headbutts Layla, BREAKING her nose. He throws her against the wall,
she is knocked unconscious and falls behind the sofa. Davey takes two
bowie knives and stabs LUCY through both shoulders, pinning her to
the floor. She CRIES out in pain as she bleeds and her back arches
upwards. Davey tries to pull her shorts down. Her hand finds the
right knife and pulls it out, opening his throat in one movement.
Blood splatters the ceiling, he collapses on top of her, she
struggles in pain underneath the body. Malice SIGHS, casually walks
over and pins Lucy's arm to the floor with his boot, drawing his
pistol. He grins at Terry, GROANING and struggling with Shaw. Malice
SHOOTS Lucy in the face, spraying her brains on the floor. Terry is
SCREAMING like a dying animal. Dutton and Doyle go over to help
restrain him.
MALICE
Feel
like talking to us now big man?
Terry's
eyes are bulging out of his head he frees his left arm from the
soldiers grip and points at Malice
TERRY
You
cunt. You're mine. Do you here me?
You're done. You better kill me now cos I
ain't telling
you nothin. Fuck off.
Malice
nods at Shaw who pulls out a
machete. He grabs Terry's wrist and
in one chop
HACKS
through his forearm.
Terry goes into shock. The severed limb flops to the floor spurting
thick splashes of blood rolls towards Malice who picks it up. He
pokes Terry in the forehead with the severed limb.
MALICE
I
am rapidly losing my patience with you Terrance.
Charles
SNORTS. Malice turns and throws the limb at his face.
MALICE
(to Charles)
Shut
up.
He
grabs Terry by the throat.
MALICE
This
is all you. You caused this.
From
behind the sofa, Layla GROANS
as she regains
consciousness. Malice looks over his shoulder.
MALICE
Don't
worry darlin, Daddy’s
comin.
He
turns and walks across the room, Terry is struggling and bleeding.
Malice leans over the sofa and picks Layla up, putting her down on
the cushions. Dutton and Doyle punch Terry and make him watch.
MALICE
Craven.
Please debrief the suspect.
Craven drops his
machine gun.
CRAVEN
With
pleasure sir.
He
kneels in front of Layla. He flicks out a knife and cuts her pants
off open and rips them off. He takes out his erect penis. She tenses
up as he penetrates her,
her knees tremble. Layla cries and bites
her lip. Craven turns to the men and grins with pleasure as he
thrusts
CRAVEN
Fucking
hell boys, she...is...tight.
Terry
can see his daughter being raped, in shock, he has stopped
struggling, the scene reflected in his brown pupil. A SHOT breaks the
window and blows Cravens’ head off, his neck is a smoking, bleeding
stump. The corpse falls
backwards
twitching onto the carpet as
Malice
and his soldiers
are
diving for cover. Across the
floor,
Terry can see Dan's hand twitching. He struggles with Thompson, all
the others have taken up defensive positions by the window. More
SHOTS RICHOCET
off
upturned furniture. The soldiers
return
FIRE
blindly
out
of the window. Thompson's head EXPLODES
showering
Terry with pieces of brain, he gets to his knees and takes the
shotgun. There is a lull in the incoming fire, during which Malice
and his boys reload. Terry aims the shotgun at Malice's head.
TERRY
CUNT!
Malice
turns and Terry FIRES. The shot Malice's lower jaw away
and he grabs his face, ROARING furiously
as blood pours through his fingers. With his other hand he raises his
rifle and BLOWS Terry's
remaining hand away. He then FIRES several times, emptying
the clip into
Terry’s
chest. Dan’s eyes
open. His body levitates upwards into the middle of the room, a blue
light fills the room. A white pulse EXPLODES outwards from him,
blowing the soldiers and the walls high out into the night air over
the ghetto. Layla looks
over and sees her dead mother before a large, heavy piece of plaster
buries her.
EXT.
ROOFTOP. NIGHT
Through
his night-scope, the sniper sees the EXPLOSION. The soldiers fall
into the darkness of the lower ghetto as the apartment collapses. The
sniper packs up his rifle. Above his head, the wind picks up with the
THROB and HUM of
an engine. A rope is let down in front of the apartment. The sniper
looks through his scope. A cloaked figure slides down
and enters the room.
The sniper can
see the white silhouette of
the figure putting a body over each shoulder, taking them outside and
attaching the harnesses on the end of the rope. The building CREAKS
and shudders. The figure goes back in and checks other
bodies. The apartment begins to COLLAPSE in
on itself. The figure dives out and gives the rope a tug. The sniper
looks in amazement as the Tradesman is whisked up over his head, into
the night and the engine THROB fades
into the distance. The sniper looks back through his scope at the
collapsed apartment. There is one dim source of heat amongst the
rubble. The sniper puts the scope in his case and closes it, stands
up runs to the edge of the roof and jumps off.
INT.
SUBMARINE QUARTERS.
Dan
wakes up on a metal
table. Water is DRIPPING from
one of many pipes above his head. The room is small, low and dimly
lit with an orange tint from the light of the blinking medical
equipment in the corner. The Tradesman is standing looking at three
blue monitors on the wall. Dan turns
on his side COUGHING violently, he VOMITS on the metal grill floor.
TRADESMAN
Ah
Daniel. Glad to see you're awake. You've been sedated
for some time I'm afraid.
Dan
spits on the floor and sits up
DAN
What
happened?
TRADESMAN
I'm
sorry I could not do more.
DAN
Where's
Terry and his family? Are they alright?
TRADESMAN
No.
Layla and
Lucy are dead.
DAN
Oh
God.
He
slowly swings his legs over the edge of the table and holds his head
in his hands. He looks up.
DAN
What
about Terry?
TRADESMAN
I
managed to save his life but he is not the man you knew.
DAN
I
want to see him now.
INT.
SUBMARINE BRIDGE.
The
ceiling is reinforced glass, giving views of the ocean above. Dan and
the Tradesman enter. Terry is standing in the shadows at the end of
the room bent over monitors with his back to them.
DAN
Terry?
Dan
stares in horror as Terry turns out of the shadows into the blue
swirling light. Terry has a metal plate in his chest, metal forearms
and huge bionic hands. He looks down and flexes his metal fingers,
blue and white circuitry lighting up inside his forearms.
DAN
You
alright mate?
Terry
looks up, BREATHING heavily,
a twisted grin on his face. His jaw is wired together, his face
covered in stitches, his left eye has no pupil and is half jet black
half blood red. White computer readouts are flickering rapidly behind
the pools of color.
