STEAMING. Massive fog. A black shape emerges- The APEGORI
SYMBOL. Roaring. Growing. Darkening the screen to- BLACK.
CUT TO:
MOONLIGHT. Moving over a maze of land covered with trees...
Closing in on the peak of a hill... On the heavy night mist
swirling around imposing stone walls of a medieval cattle...
On the enormous foggy window... Which VAPORIZES to reveal-
SUPER: ENGLAND, 1509
INT. KING’S FLOOR -- CASTLE -- NIGHT

A servant in a Sixteenth Century MAID UNIFORM holding two
serving plates full with filled wine glasses. This is JANE.
She walks to an uniformed man, the GENERAL, in a Sixteenth
Century MILITARY UNIFORM, who steps forward with his helmet,
follows Jane and walks from the stairwell down the hall of
the King’s floor. They stop outside a door to a hall leading
to the dinning room. The General opens the door for Jane...
INT. HALL TO DINNING ROOM -- CASTLE -- NIGHT

...into hall. The two WALK down the wall-torched lit path...
meeting on the other end across the aisle a pair of GUARDS.
GUARD 1
The King is inside. He has been
waiting for your return, my lord.
The Guards look at Jane, who reacts- dropping her head down.
INT. DINNING ROOM -- CASTLE -- NIGHT

KING and NOBLES fill the dinning table. Jane starts serving.
GENERAL
Good Evening, my lords.
KING
What news do you have for us?
GENERAL
I think I have a knowledge about
how the Apegoriman came to be...
The King glances slowly at the General, anticipated to hear
what he has to say. All in CLOSE-UP. We never see him fully.
2.
GENERAL
Most believe that his kind is
merely legend. Some say he is a
gift of God. It’s started even
before Christ. God blessed a man
with four souls so he can be the
outcast. When he died, his fine
spirit was reborn in a different
person five hundred years later.
The same pattern repeats itself.
King takes a moment to think. Jane glances at him a beat.
KING
You must kill him. With his blood
and bones we can create more of his
kind to help us defeat our enemies
with ease.
The General nods, then walks out. Jane squeaks out silently.
INT. COURTYARD -- CASTLE -- NIGHT

Jane on the corner, back to us, holding a monastic uniform.
A HORSE CARRIAGE pulls up. Jane gets in, puts on her clothes
Inside the carriage- two other women wearing monastic suits.
JANE
The King had a visitor. General is
now in search of his blood and bone
marrow cells. We must hurry. I have
to get him out of the monastery.
One of the Monastic looks up from fixing her neck cross.
WOMAN 1
I think this is madness, Jane. It’s
bad. They would kill him. I highly
doubt that their intent is to just
get what they desire. They’ll kill
me after letting their scientists
extract his blood or bone marrows.
JANE
The king is building an army of
warriors, and they are preparing
their attack. What kind of king
murders his own allies?
(pauses for a beat)
We must go back home. Put everyone
on full alert that the monastery is
in a great danger.
3.
WOMAN 2
Even so, how do you suggest we deal
with this army, Jane?
JANE
We will fight them to death.
The other women shake their heads off. The carriage peels
into an elevated landscape- we see the MONASTERY looming.
EXT. WATCH TOWER -- MONASTERY -- CONTINUOUS

A pair of huge GUARDS watch Jane comes in the carriage at a
watchtower. They hurry down to open the heavy, wooden gate.
GUARD 2
Why are they in a hurry?
GUARD 3
The King must have found out the
secret behind his powers.
GUARD 2
Powers?
Guard 3 PRIES pull a hatch that keeps the gate close.
GUARD 3
Yeah. To defeat enemies. War tool.
EXT. COURTYARD -- CASTLE -- CONTINUOUS

The General and his Warriors get out of the building and
march into their horses and carriages CARRYING MANY SWORDS.
INT. COURTYARD -- MONASTERY -- NIGHT

Another GUARD looks up- Jane gets off the horse carriage.
With URGENCY, we WALK DOWN to him with Jane and the women:
JANE GUARD 4
-- where is he? -- why?
-- I suspect the king’s -- he’s in the dungeon.
army to move in soon.
EXT. MOUNTAINS -- NIGHT

The General and Warriors- RIDING up the elevated landscape.
A few quick turns- they see the MONASTERY looming up ahead.
4.
INT. DUNGEON -- MONASTERY -- NIGHT

Jane and fellow Monastics walk down a row of filthy cells.
Soft-crying, starving, prisoned "SINNERS" repeatedly appear
and disappear in the flickering light of the wall torches.
Finally, Jane and fellow Monastics reach a cell whose INMATE
is not whimpering or starving. A dark skin African with a
sad acquiescence in his eye, a huge BROWN WOODEN MEDALLION
dangling around his neck, grins through the bars. This is
the APEGORIMAN. The Guard unlocks his cell door. Jane runs
in, arms hugging him. He speaks with a thick African brogue.
APEGORIMAN
I missed you. Missed you so much.
JANE
I missed you too. The king’s men
are coming here. You have to hide
in the forest before it’s too late.
APEGORIMAN
Will you be coming with me?
Jane makes a sad realization on her face, meaning, "No."
APEGORIMAN
I’m not going anywhere without you.
The Guard glares at him. The two women observe them sadly.
JANE
They have a search running. They
want your blood and bone marrows.
They want you dead. We must find
you a safe place to hide quickly.
VOICE (O.S.)
The king’s army is moving toward
the monastery!
Everyone else reacts to the alert.
WOMAN 1
Your suspicion was correct. General
is on the move.
JANE
They’re here. Up. On your feet.
VOICE (O.S.)
The monastery is now under attack!
Secure the gate! The gate! Gate!
5.
INT. COURTYARD -- MONASTERY -- NIGHT

Apegoriman, Jane, and the monastics run out to the courtyard
They look at the gate- General and Warriors FORCING through.
The Apegoriman stares up the moon- so blurry- atmospheric
moisture causes reduced visibility. We STAY on the moon.
Shifting into a different period of time... Then we go down,
slowly start flying over the vast area of primary tropical
forest dominated by two extinct volcanoes, Kahuzi and Biega.
SUPER: "Kahuzi-Biega National Park, Congo, Present Day"
INT. RAIN FOREST, KAHIZI-BIEGA NATIONAL PARK, CONGO -- NIGHT

It is misted. It is deadly silent. As the tranquility of the
scene sinks in, tiny snicks disrupt the peacefulness in
distance. Suddenly, we whip across the dim forest --
Start motion. It’s us. We are running, stumbling, breathing
rushed. We see blood in the dead leaves that cover the muddy
ground. Slowing down until we reveal the person we are:
A short man. LORD S41. He’s wearing a HIPPIE-SORT-OF-OUTFIT
and his eyes are invisible behind circular black sunglasses.
He’s also hardwired; small Secret Service earphone in one
ear, the cord coiling back into his hippie looking clothes.
He looks badly wounded. He has a few broken bones. We can
tell by his way of running. Groaning after every movement.
He’s carrying a backpack that slows him down even more.
He jogs, hides behind a huge tree into the dark shadow. He
takes out of his bag: a technologically advanced computer.
ON COMPUTER SCREEN
so close it has no boundaries.
Data hacks across the screen, information beams faster then
we can read: "The New Wise Man: target location confirmed."
When he’s done with the computer, he starts down the forest.
We whip far behind into the forest. Closing in the shadowy,
cavernous tortured tree trunks, we spot a HUGE-MASSIVE-SIZE
GORILLA-LIKE CREATURE. His skin is whitish brown. He has
black hair. He’s ten feet tall and ten-thousand pounds.
On Lord S41’s point of view: the monster steps half out of
the shadow. Then we get our first look at LORD V2’s face:
half in light and half in shadow. An obvious human face on.
6.
He’s staring at Lord S41 with fury. Lord S41 is momentarily

paralyzed with awe.
And then, the enormous creature (Lord V2) is on the move. He
runs. He’s chasing Lord S41. He whips pass us at a breakneck
speed. It almost does not register, so smooth and fast.
Far ahead. We hear quick footsteps as Lord S41 bolts. He’s
panting. He’s running for his life, darting through this
maze of a forest.
Lord V2 is moving. He’s advancing nearer. He’s exhilarating.
And it’s absolutely terrifying. Loud footsteps in the mud.
Moss-draped branches catch Lord S41’s foot. He falls on his
back, facing the rapidly approaching gorilla-like creature.
He realizes that he had accidentally dropped his bag behind.
The small computer is half out of the bag. He sees Lord V2
aiming at the bag, wanting to get his hands on the computer.
Gritting through the pain, Lord S41 races Lord V2, crawling
to the bag, the monster’s face is knotted, teeth clenched,
as he hurls himself at the computer just as --
Lord S41 grabs the bag with his last reserves of strength.
There is a frozen instant of silence before the heavy sack
of limp meat and bone lays down onto Lord S41 --
Pressing him forcibly deep down into the wet dirt of the
forest, all bones fracturing, smashing the computer along.
After a moment, a man rises up from the muddy ground of the
forest. It’s Lord V2 but now human. He’s powerfully built.
He inspects the wreckage. There is a computer. It’s broken.
His jaw sets as he grinds his molars in frustration. LORD V8
and LORD V19, also humans, walk up behind him.
LORD V19
It’s destroyed.
The hardware of the computer lays on the ground, separated
in the crash into two pieces.
LORD V2
It doesn’t matter. We’ll track ’em
with the pieces.
LORD V8
(reads victim’s name tag)
Lord S41.
7.
LORD V19
Why would Lord S1 send him here?
LORD V2
Perhaps they were just tracing back
to the root. Now that they all know
where he is located we must capture
him quick Bring him back to Varyish
headquarters before it’s too late.
We are absorbed towards the built-in webcam of the computer,
closer and closer until the smooth black frame spreads out
like a horizon and the concave mirrored lenses widen until
we fall through one --
Swallowed by darkness.
The darkness crinkles with phosphorescent energy, an image
censor of the forest light beaming in around us as --
We emerge from a computer screen.
Feeds onscreen show Lord S41’s dead body in the dim forest.
We move back from the screen and into --
INT. STRONGISH HEADQUARTERS -- COMMAND CENTER -- EVENING

SUPER: "STRONGISH HEADQUARTERS -- COMMAND CENTER"
The room is full with technology. Computer desks everywhere.
At the middle of this technological center are the leading
men. LORD S1, a tall and sturdy man with a quick temper,
observes: LORD S12, a slender man with a subdued demeanor,
and LORD S29, eyes with souls and a wary of intelligence.
LORD S29
We lost S41 in the park.
LORD S12
The Varyish Lords tracked us down.
I don’t know how.
LORD S1
Goddammit! Send another man.
LORD S29
No need. The target location is
already confirmed...
(glances at S29, anticipated
to hear what he has to say.)
Nguizanie.
8.
LORD S12
The prophecy is real. Blood and
bone marrow cells are all we need
from him to rebuild our army.
Lord S1 almost smiles.
LORD S1
With his powers in our hands, our
plot can be done with ease. I have
no mercy on the poor citizens. To
kickoff: steal ’it’ and find him.
His wry smile gives way to...
Black. And then...
EXT. ARMY WEAPON COMPOUND -- FRONT GATE -- NIGHT

Rainy night. On a road next to a heavily guarded bunker
facility, A LINE OF IDENTICAL ARMY TRUCKS HEAD to the front
gate. A CARGO SHIP stays in the ocean next to the facility.
We watch the trucks pass through the front gate and park in
the courtyard. Several ARMY GUARDS walk toward the trucks.
EXT. NGUIZANIE -- NIGHT

SUPER: "NGUIZANIE CITY"
Under the rain, we watch the glory of NGUIZANIE CITY. It’s a
fictional city. The most populous city of the United States.
The city consists of four boroughs: VASCO, KALIBA, NGANGA,
and PILA. The city’s population exceeds eight millions.
EXT. PARKING LOT -- NIGHT

Headlights blind us, as a BLACK SUV, wipers not working,
drives up to a guard booth. A GUARD observes: the driver’s
window rolls down on Lord S12’s evil smiley face.
GUARD
Can’t park here at this time, pal.
Suddenly, a SHOTGUN BLAST sends the Guard flying. A second
blast illuminates the shooter’s face: LORD S17. They both
are in hippie costumes and black sunglasses even at night.
9.
EXT. BUNKER LABORATORY BUILDING -- NIGHT

ARMY GUARDS open the trucks’ rear doors- see storage tubes
of chemical weapons labeled: P.N. GAS. They transport them
carefully into the depot. Just then- a man gets off a truck.
BEN STONE approaches COLONEL JOHN. He shows him his I.D.
BEN STONE
Ben Stone, National Security.
COLONEL JOHN
Colonel John, Air Force.
BEN STONE
Where is ’it’ Colonel?
COLONEL JOHN
It’s in the lab. Follow me.
INT. BLACK SUV -- NIGHT

Lord S12 pulls into a parking spot in the barely-filled lot.
As they both unfasten their seat belts we glimpse 9mm Pistol
on their hips. These guns are technologically advanced.
Lord S12 reaches over and grabs a briefcase.
LORD S12
Clock work. Let’s make it in ’n out
Hack the system- copy the standard
counterbalance files- get the ship
code and position- one man is ready
just in case they track us down.
LORD S17
(deadpan)
Good. We can’t take any chances.
EXT. PARKING LOT -- CONTINUOUS

They emerge from the car. We follow them, walking across the
dark, rainy lot toward a FIFTY-STOREY OFFICE BUILDING.
The closer they get to the entrance, the higher we crane. By
the time they enter, we have reached the roof, which has a
logo that reads NATIONAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION SUBSTATION.
INT. NSA SUBSTATION LOBBY -- SAME
Two SECURITY GUARDS moving up the lobby, only to meet-
10.
Lord S12 and Lord S17 coming down.

Several quick moves and they’re down- slumped against a
wall. Check their pockets. Take their photo I.D.s Then jam
them in and out of the electronic reader.
INT. BUNKER LABORATORY BUILDING -- NIGHT

Colonel John leads Ben into a large laboratory room. A dozen
MEN IN LAB COATS wait beside a large table. More ARMY GUARDS
look on from nearby.
Ben stares at an unseen object a beat. Colonel John watches
from the side, there is something about him we don’t trust.
COLONEL JOHN
Are we operational now?
BEN STONE
No. We’re not. P.N. Gas still in
its test phase. But soon we’ll be.
Ben nods to Colonel John, who then orders the Army Guards...
COLONEL JOHN
Load ’it’ into the ship.
Army Guards carry the unseen object and places it inside a
vault in the cargo ship. We did not see the object.
After a moment, the loaded ship roars out of the compound.
EXT. NGUIZANIE -- NIGHT

Moving over the towers of downtown Nguizanie. We’re closing
in on an office building. Behind the rainy window pane, we
see Lord S12, typing quickly, navigating the web, his
screens flashing as pages open and close.
INT. OFFICE, HIGH RISE -- NIGHT

Lord S17 wanders the room while Lord S12 works on computers.
LORD S17
(finally deadpan)
How long will it take to hack the
National Security database?
11.
LORD S12
(thinking)
Ummm...
Lord S12 freezes, types something, hits a key. On one of his
monitors, a window appears. He reacts to the little victory.
Curious, Lord S17 walks over and reads the screen --
LORD S17
Ship Number 802345. Maine?
LORD S12
Chemical compound bunker- also
known as the naval weapon depot.
INT. HALL -- NIGHT

We follow six armed GUARDS as they creep down the darkened
hall and ready themselves on either side of the office.
The strongest of them violently kicks in the door. The other
guards pour in behind him, guns thrust before them.
STRONG GUARD
(yells)
Freeze!
Sitting there, Lord S12’s hands still on the keyboard.
Standing there, Lord S17’s hand is closed to his hip.
STRONG GUARD
Hands on your heads! Now! Do it!
They slowly put their hands behind their heads. The Strong
Guard flips out his cuffs. When they do not respond to his
questions, the Strong Guard starts forward. He reaches with
the cuffs and Lord S17 spins and in one motion extends his
leg and kicks the Strong Guard-
He flies back, slams into the other Guards. Lord S12 and
Lord S17 take guns out of their hips. Guns still in the
Guards’ hands. There is a violent exchange of GUNFIRE and
when it’s over, Lord S12 and S17 are the only men standing.
EXT. DOWNTOWN NGUIZANIE -- NIGHT

A MAN on the corner, back to us, holding a security guard
uniform. A VAN pulls up. The man gets in, puts on his
uniform. Inside the car- six other men wearing security
guards uniforms. These are the Varyish Lords.
12.
LORD V8
There’s two Strongish Lords on the
building. We track ’em as you said
with the computer pieces.
LORD V2
Good. Let’s get ’em.
Lord V2 cocks his weapon. Lord V8 pulls the car over in
front of the NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY SUBSTATION.
INT. NSA SUBSTATION LOBBY -- NIGHT

The Varyish Lords race through the lobby into the elevators.

Lord S12 is on the phone, pacing. The other end is answered.
MAN (V.O.)
Yeah.
LORD S12
S25! We need a lift.
LORD S25 (MAN V.O.)
What about your car?
LORD S12
It’s in the parking lot. Heavy
security. We can’t get to it.
LORD S25 (V.O.)
The Varyish Lords?
LORD S12
They know we’re here.
LORD S25 (V.O.)
Ah, shit. Hold on- I’m coming...
EXT. NSA SUBSTATION BUILDING -- NIGHT
LORD S25 pulls the car over in front of the NSA Substation.
He surveys the area downstairs. There are "real" security
guards everywhere securing the perimeter as usual. Unaware
of what’s happening upstairs.
13.

Lord S12 hits Enter on the keyboard. On one of the screens,
at lightning speed, we see a digital representation of files
being madly copied. Sending them into his super-advanced
computer that is in the briefcase.
Lord S17 looks down the window. He sees Lord S25’s car.
LORD S17
He’s here. Wrap it up.
Lord S12 starts working his keys at a furious pace, his
hands a blur. Lord S17 watches in wonder.
On one of his monitors, we see a SATELLITE VIEW OF MAINE.
The shot tightens and tightens, moving closer to Earth. With
his mouse, Lord S12 circles a ship at sea, seen from a 100
feet above.
LORD S12
There it is. The cargo ship is
mobile in the Atlantic Ocean.
They wrap it up quickly and destroy everything in the room.
No trace left. Then, they hurry to the door.
INT. HALL -- NIGHT

They burst out of the room as Lord V8 and Lord V19 enters
the hall, leading an unit of Varyish Lords. Lord S12 and
Lord S17 race into another office- lock the door.
LORD S12
There are too many. We can’t take
them all down.
LORD S25 (V.O.)
Well, there is not a viable exit on
foot.
LORD S12
What do you suggest?
LORD S25 (V.O.)
(after a beat; deadpan)
A free fall.
14.
EXT. OFFICE, HIGH RISE -- NIGHT

Closing in on a window... Which SHATTERS... Then, they exit
through the broken window onto space. The men FALL down the
DIZZYING DROP...inhumanly landing on the sidewalk. It almost
doesn’t register, so smooth and hard, inhumanly hard. They
damage the concrete in the process. They’re not hurt at all.
They move. They get into the car. Lord S25 drives off.

The Varyish Lords work the room. Lord V8 approaches Lord V2.
LORD V8
They left nothing behind. We can’t
trace ’em anymore. Why were they
here? What were they looking for?
LORD V2
They want ’it’.
LORD V8
’it’?
LORD V2
Yeah. To scare people. It’s a war
strategy. They hope it’ll elevate
the government’s thinking.
EXT. ATLANTIC OCEAN -- NIGHT

The cargo ship travels down the ocean. Freight containers
fill the ship’s deck. A HELICOPTER FLIES DOWN after the
heavily loaded ship.
It’s a war machine. Two automatic machine guns and two small
missiles are mounted on the craft’s undercarriage. A bright
spotlight is mounted on the front of the helicopter.
As it gets near the ship we go to:
INT. HELICOPTER -- NIGHT
Lord S17 holds A CABLE LAUNCHER. Lord S12 is the pilot. They
are still in black sunglasses and hippie costumes even at
this freezing weather. They also wear the earphones.
LORD S17
We have visual on the target.
Confirm ’go’ for cable launch.
15.
INT. STRONGISH HEADQUARTERS -- COMMAND CENTER -- NIGHT

Sat-feeds monitor the cargo ship. Lord S29 works on the
computer. Beside him: Lord S1, the man in charge.
LORD S1
S17, you’re confirmed ’go’: launch
cable at the cargo ship.

Lord S17 steps forward with the cable launcher, AIMS at the
cargo ship across them and FIRES a cable across.

Webcam feed from the cable shows it descending on the cargo
ship, precisely on a freight container. Lord S29 types on
the computer, controlling the cable, and then it attaches
the platform it was on:
LORD S29
I’ve attached the cable on
platform.
LORD S1
S17, secure the I-beam line.

Lord S17 secures the line to an I-beam line- FASTEN on-
sends a KIT BAG out then steps OUT the helicopter...
EXT. SKIES OVER OCEAN -- NIGHT

...into space. The man SLIDE across the VAST OCEAN...landing
on the roof of a freight container in the cargo ship.

Lord S29 tracks Lord S17 on the computer screens as he kills
the Captain and the Crew. They are down. Lords S17 standing.
LORD S29 LORD S1
-- now what? -- he gotta find an

analysis. -- gimme structural map.
16.
The screen pops to a STRUCTURAL DRAWING of the cargo ship.

BLUEPRINT ANALYSIS finishes, the screen shows a DATA of the
VAULT ROOM: "PROBABLE ACCESS - HARDWIRED."
LORD S29
The access is hardwired.
Lord S1 thinks a beat.
LORD S1
What if he cuts the CAT 6 Patch.
LORD S29
That might alert the Pentagon.
WHIP TO a monitor: Lord S17 MOVES to an access panel.
LORD S1
But they’ll be out of there by the
time the Coast Guards will arrive.
LORD S29
Only if they lift it quick enough.
Otherwise, the mission will turn
into a failure. Not our option.
Lord S1 takes another moment to think.
LORD S1
Proceed.
LORD S29
S17, cut the CAT 6 cables.
INT. CARGO SHIP -- NIGHT

Lord S17 rips out thick bundles of red CAT 6 cables.
INT. STRONGISH HEADQUARTER -- COMMAND CENTER -- NIGHT

The computer screens pop: "RED ALERT."
LORD S29
Signals are sent out. The Pentagon
must be alerted by now.
EXT. ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA -- NIGHT
Establishing shot -- PENTAGON
Over which we hear phones ringing.
17.
INT. PENTAGON -- CORRIDOR -- NIGHT

A man, back to us, rushes down to a door with a nameplate
that reads: Larry Nealson, Secretary of Defense, United
States Department of Defense.
INT. NEALSON’S OFFICE -- PENTAGON -- NIGHT

The SECRETARY OF DEFENSE LARRY NEALSON (50’s) is at his desk
The man is Air Force COLONEL JADE. He walks in, TROUBLED.
COLONEL JADE
We have a situation, sir.
LARRY NEALSON
What kind of situation?
COLONEL JADE
We received signals from cargo ship
number 802345 a moment ago. Someone
must have broken into one of the
ship’s access panels. The Captain
and the Crew are not responding,
probably dead.
LARRY NEALSON
What’s in the ship?
COLONEL JADE
The cargo ship is carrying ’it’,
sir.
Larry is highly troubled for a beat.
LARRY NEALSON
(highly troubled)
Contact the Coast Guards.
INT. CARGO SHIP -- CONTINUOUS

Lord S17 PRIES the access door...
INT. STAIRWELL -- CARGO SHIP -- NIGHT

...and speeds down the stairs, to the basement. He SLAMS
open the door...
INT. VAULT ROOM -- CARGO SHIP -- NIGHT
...and comes face to face with a huge VAULT.
18.
EXT. ATLANTIC OCEAN -- NIGHT

THREE COAST GUARDS HELICOPTERS fly towards the cargo ship.
COAST GUARD (V.O.)
We have visual on the subject.
Stand by for further updates.

THE SATELLITE VIEW shows the Coast Guards helicopters.
LORD S29
They’ve got company.
LORD S1
S12, blow ’em up.
EXT. HELICOPTER -- NIGHT

Lord S12 receives the orders. He prepares missiles. AIMS at
the oncoming helicopters across him and FIRES the missiles.
BOOM! THE RED HELICOPTERS EXPLODE. BURNING. MASSIVE FLAMES.

They watch the explosion onscreen. They look happy.
INT. VAULT ROOM -- CARGO SHIP -- LATER

Lord S17 turns the vault’s wheel- He grabs the kit bag. He
steps over the dead Army Guards into the vault...
INT. VAULT -- CARGO SHIP -- NIGHT

...which only contains a MK49 NUCLEAR BOMB. THE WARHEAD.

Lord S1 looks at the monitor, sees the nuclear bomb.
LORD S1
(smiles)
There ’it’ is. Bring ’it’ home.
(turns to S57)
What’s the status on the Apegoriman
19.
LORD S57 (TECHIE)

Team B is heading to the target
location.
INT. VAN -- NIGHT

Lord S14, S21, S22, S26, S34, S42, and S47 are in the VAN.
LORD S14
Alright, Team B listen up. Our
subject is Tyler Black.
ON THE PLASMA TV SCREEN - A YOUNGER TYLER LOCATED AT SCHOOL.
LORD S21
Here he is in Middle School - I
think a basketball player at the
time and still is currently.
MORE SLIDES OF TYLER in various basketball courts.
LORD S21
Listen to his playoffs statistics:
PPG 35.3, RPG 9.10, APG 7.3, EFF +
37.00... Jesus. The kid is great.
LORD S14
A team captain. He’s at a game
right now at Elsie Allen High
School. We’re going to get him. Let
make it quick and clean.
EXT. BASKETBALL COURT -- NIGHT

It’s raining. We don’t see clearly. People hang out at the
snack bars. We hear NOISES from the court.
INT. BASKETBALL COURT -- NIGHT

CHEERING!
A game is in progress. High school b-ball. Red Jersey versus
Blue Jersey. Blue color dominates the crowds in the stand.
A Blue player makes a three pointer. Crowds cheer loudly!
This is TYLER BLACK. Aged 17. He’s an African American. Tall
and handsome. An average teenager consumed with everyday
worries about school, friends, cars and girls. Also a kid
who knows more about basketball than anyone we’ve ever met.
20.

The VAN pulls over. Lord S14, S21, S22, and S26 get out of
the car and march toward the court CARRYING ASSAULT RIFLES.
INT. BASKETBALL COURT -- CONTINUOUS

Tyler dribbles down the court. A RED-JERSEY PLAYER pushes
him down to the floor. The referee, JOHN BLACK, Tyler’s
father, calls a fool. The red-jersey player reacts madly-
RED-JERSEY PLAYER
What?! C’mon, ref, because he’s
your son.
JOHN BLACK
This is a fair game.
Tyler lines up for the free throw. Just then-
INT. ENTRANCE DOOR -- NIGHT

The School Policeman looks up- Lord S14 FIRES into the air.
Fans SCREAM. Lord S21 HITS the Policeman with his rifle.
As our Lords gather around the hostages, one of the REFEREES
presses buttons on his phone- dialing an emergency call.
INT. VAN -- CONTINUOUS

Lord S34, S42, and S47 remain in the car- watching many fans
running out of the court.

Lord S14, S21, S22, and S26 move down the line of hostages,
mostly polluted by Players, Team Staffs and Officials.
There is no sign of Tyler Black nor John Black.
LORD S14
Where is he? Find him. The boss is
going to be mad if we lose him.
INT. VAN -- CONTINUOUS
LORD S34
(wonders)
Why does he want him so bad?
21.
LORD S42
I heard it all about the power.
LORD S47
Power?
LORD S42
Yeah. To control the country.

BOOM! Lord S14 is FANNED OFF HIS FEET- Lord S21, S22, and
S26 DIP for cover- John Black emerges, HANDGUN in hand.
INT. VAN -- NIGHT

Lord S34 watches the COPS CARS coming in the side mirror.
LORD S34
Here comes the dark blue visitors.
(cocks a gun)
We should take care of ’em to give
the guys in the court more time.
LORD S47
(re: to Tyler)
What if we don’t get his power.
What’s going to happen?
Lord S42 gets out of the car holding a BAZOOKA.
LORD S42
Let’s not wish for that.
AIMS at a cop car down the street and FIRES UP.

Lord S21, S22, and S26 cringe as John FIRES again.
LORD S21
How many more shots remaining?
LORD S22
I say two.
Lord S22 raises his head. John FIRES. FIRES again--
Lord S22 ducks down. Lord S21 and S26 looks at each other.
Lord S21 makes a quick head gesture. Lord S21 RISES UP.
22.
John squeezes the trigger. Empty. No bullets. He FUMBLES his

pockets for new shells. Lord 26 JUMPS UP- SHOOTS him...
BOOM! A BULLET RIPS into John’s chest. Bleeding... he drops
on his knees... and falls to the ground.
LORD S22
I called it.
Lord S34 storms in-
LORD S34
Gotta go! Too many cops! Let’s go!
They run to the exit...

...and speed out the court, get to the VAN. They rapidly
open the doors. They get in. They drive off...
EXT. VAN -- CONTINUOUS

...and come face to face with a MASS of COP CARS...
Lord S42 RISES OUT of the sunroof holding the bazooka.
The VAN is in MOTION. Lord S42 FIRES. FIRES. FIRES again.
Huge explosions. Cars jump high in the air on fire.
Then, they find their way out through the massive flames.

John’s eyes desperately searching...searching...searching...
until he sees --
Tyler standing aside with awe. He walks to his dying father.
Knee himself on the floor. Tears on his eyes.
Slowly, John reaches out and takes Tyler’s hand... Blood
red... as bleeding and dying father touches his only son...
JOHN BLACK
(hardly breathing)
T... Tyler...
TYLER BLACK
(sobbing)
Dad...
23.
JOHN BLACK
Tyler... Listen to me my son...
TYLER BLACK
I’m listening dad.
JOHN BLACK
They came for you... The family...
Prophecy... learn it.
TYLER BLACK
What is the prophecy?
John rolls back his eyes and dies. Tyler instantly breaks
into an uncontrollable sobbing. It’s just beyond the sadness
that owns our hearts. There is no return.
EXT. NGANGA NATIONAL CEMETERY -- EARLY MORNING

SUPER: "A Few Days Later"
We watch Tyler alone across the cemetery. He stands before
two headstones: JOHN BLACK 1959-2009. SARAH BLACK 1962-2009.
TYLER BLACK
Hi Dad. Hi Mom. I moved to Vasco
today. I know, it’s the borough
with the highest crime rate in
Nguizanie. A move I couldn’t do
while you were here. Maybe you
would have approved. Well, I know
you wouldn’t have. But, I had no
choice. The bank sold the house.
(beat)
Dad, I’ve tried everything and I
can’t seem to learn what you told
before you died. I’m hoping one day
to come to realize the true meaning
behind the Black family prophecy.
Tyler puts new flowers on the graves. Walks off.
EXT. NGUIZANIE -- EARLY MORNING

Establishing shots of Nguizanie and an island in the middle
of Nguizanie Bay.
EXT. ISLAND -- STRONGISH HEADQUARTERS -- EARLY MORNING
A black helicopter appears. Vasco-Pila Bridge looms behind.
It lands on the roof of the Strongish headquarter building.
24.
A dozen Strongish Lords gather around the craft.

Lord S1, in a hippie outfit with a metal briefcase in hand,
exists the helicopter. Lord S21 approaches him.
LORD S21
Morning, my lord.
LORD S1
You have news about the boy.
LORD S21
Yes.
They walk toward a nearby staircase.
LORD S1
So you captured him.
LORD S21
No, my lord. We did not get him. It
was a mess. We even lost S14.
LORD S1
Where is him now?
LORD S21
We don’t know. S12 and S17 are
running a search. An extra team is
ready just in case.
LORD S1
Good. We can’t take any chances. We
need him to fulfill this plot.
EXT. KALIBA NATIONAL MUSEUM -- DAY

A yellow bus parks at the curb. Tyler and new CLASSMATES get
off the bus. They stare at the Kaliba National Museum, an
impressive old building on the Nguizanie downtown.
Tyler stares, sighs to himself, a heartsick look on his
face. Whatever’s inside, it’s what he wants to know. A male
teacher, MR. PETTY, addresses the students.
MR. PETTY
First thing first. I’m going to
take roll. Please respond when I
call your name...
Everyone pays attention.
25.
MR. PETTY
Tyler Black.
TYLER BLACK
Here.
SYDNEY PITT, a petite brunette, stares at Tyler. A heartsick
look on her face. He owns her heart. She approaches him. The
teacher’s voice echo throughout the scene.
SYDNEY PITT
Hi. My name is Sydney Pitt. You
must be Tyler Black. The new guy.
Tyler stares at her. She owns his heart too.
TYLER BLACK
Yeah... Hey...
Some flirting attention. She grins and he smiles. But his
smile ceases when THREE HIGH SCHOOL PUNKS come in. CRICK JOE
is the leader. The most popular kid at school. A true punk.
CRICK JOE
Ow!
(to Sydney)
Who is your new friend?
SYDNEY PITT
Tyler, meet Crick. My boyfriend.
TYLER BLACK
What’s up, man?
CRICK JOE
Oh, I’ll tell you what’s up.
The other two Punks laugh. Tyler notices the attention.
CRICK JOE
I gotta tell you this once. No one
messes with my girl. You do not
talk to her. Do you listen what I
said?
TYLER BLACK
I was just being friendly.
CRICK JOE
Hey. I asked you a question. Do you
listen when I’m talking to you?
26.
SYDNEY PITT
Leave him alone, Crick.
TYLER BLACK
It’s cool. I heard you.
Crick puts his arm around Sydney.
CRICK JOE
Come on, babe.
Crick, Sydney, and the other Punks disappear into the crowd,
leaving Tyler behind.
MR. PETTY
Class. Today, we’re going to learn
about the Europeans exploration of
African tropical forests at the
Kaliba National Museum. A very
prestige place known best for its
African heritage collections.
The teacher leads the class up the marble steps.
TOUR GUIDE (O.S.)
For your visit today, we will
primary focus on a rain forest
called Kahuzi-Biega National Park.
INT. KALIBA NATIONAL MUSEUM -- DAY

The teacher and Students are lead around a cavernous room by
a TOUR GUIDE. They pass a number of large gorilla exhibits.
TOUR GUIDE
A vast area of primary tropical
forest dominated by two extinct
volcanoes, Kahuzi and Biega, the
park has a diverse and abundant
fauna.
Tyler keeps his eye on Sydney. She’s with Crick Joe, his arm
draped possessively over her shoulder. Tyler winces and
turns away, back to the tour. Just forget about her.
The Guide points out specific groups of gorillas in the
framed portraits of the park.
TOUR GUIDE
About 250 eastern lowland gorillas
thought to be one of the last
communities of their kind, inhabit
(MORE)
27.
TOUR GUIDE (cont’d)

Kahuzi-Biega National Park, making
it a very special place.
Tyler peers closely at the largest frame: an art painting of
A MAN locked in a cage, surrounded by EUROPEAN EXPLORERS. It
grabs his attention- a long weird connection between them.
TOUR GUIDE
This art painting tells a myth. It
was once believed that there was a
man in the surrounding areas of the
forest who had the ability to
change into an ape gorilla specie.
STUDENT (O.S.)
A man changed into a gorilla?
Tyler glances at the student. Meet JASON DAWN, a cool nerd,
who wears a 14-45MM camera around his neck.
TOUR GUIDE
Well, it’s just a myth. However,
ancient Explorers believed to have
seen him changed. The natives
called him the Apegoriman because
he’s thought to possess multiple
souls... spirits... powers...
Sydney peers closely at the portrait. Her eyes shine, she’s
strangely attracted to it. It owns her heart. Ours too.
SYDNEY PITT
You said the Apegoriman had powers.
What kind exactly?
TOUR GUIDE
Good question. Follow me.
INT. KALIBA NATIONAL MUSEUM GENETIC RESEARCH ROOM -- DAY

Students enter and stare at the LARGE ELECTRON MICROSCOPE.
JASON DAWN
You have an electron microscope.
TOUR GUIDE
(telling them)
Yes. It was specifically built for
genetic research on certain ape
gorillas captured in the park.
The Guide points out a specific gorilla in a thick cage.
28.
TOUR GUIDE
For example, the strongish gorilla
can bend a two feet thick metal...
Just as the strongish gorilla bends one of the thick bars of
the cage. People panic a bit. Several MEN IN LAB COATS rush,
shot it with chemical-enhanced tranquilizers. Peace reigns.
TYLER BLACK
He’s very strong.
TOUR GUIDE
Inhumanly strong.
Tyler is awed- the Guide moves to the next cage. A long one.
TOUR GUIDE
The speedish gorilla. He can run at
the speed of sound...
Just as the speedish gorilla whips back and forth inside the
long cage. It almost does not register, so smooth and fast.
JASON DAWN
(fascinated)
Damn. He’s fast and furious.
TOUR GUIDE
Inhumanly fast.
Jason is momentarily paralyzed with awe- the Guide proceeds
to the next cage. It is long and has a high height.
Inside is the jumpish gorilla. It’s a female specie.
TOUR GUIDE
The jumpish gorilla. It’s a female
specie. She can jump as high as
fifty-storey; much higher than this
cage...
Just then the jumpish gorilla jumps up and down in the cage.
SYDNEY PITT
Whoa. She sure can jump.
CRICK JOE
Girls can’t jump.
CRICK JOE
(after a long beat)
Oh, come on. You know I’m right.
Right when she was about to say something, Mr. Petty shouts:
29.
MR. PETTY
What is that in that cage?
The Guide walks toward the cage. They follow behind.
TOUR GUIDE
That is the varyish gorilla.
MR. PETTY
It doesn’t look like too much of a
gorilla to me.
TOUR GUIDE
Well, scientists are not sure if
it’s a gorilla or this-
Just then- the varyish gorilla changes from a gorilla into a
gorilla-like creature. Then, it changes back into a gorilla.
TOUR GUIDE
He weights more than ten thousand
pounds. But he moves so smoothly.
They all watch with awe as it changes back and forth while
running smoothly inside the oversize cage. The Guide moves
to another copy of the art painting we saw earlier.
TOUR GUIDE
Over here we have the Apegoriman
again. I’ll answer the question
that was asked earlier: what kind
of powers did he exactly has?
(beat)
A source says that he’s composed of
genetic information from all four
gorillas. That makes this one
genetically-natural super-gorilla.
He’s believed to be the origin of
the rest of them.
Jason catches the eye of the Tour Guide and gestures to his
camera-
JASON DAWN
Is it okay if I take a few picture
for school paper?
TOUR GUIDE
Yeah, sure.
Jason raises the camera to take a picture. Behind him, Crick
steals the camera. Other kids laugh. Jason turns around,
gives a glare. Crick steps forward, threatening. Jason is
afraid of him and turns around without saying a word.
30.
Crick and Tyler meet eyes. They look each other a beat. They
are holding each other eyes. They don’t take their eyes off
each other for a long beat... until Sydney shouts:
SYDNEY PITT
What happened to him?
Tyler turns to the Guide.
TOUR GUIDE
Historians claimed that he was
taken to Europe by the Explorers.
Worked there as a warrior. Later,
he was killed by an army General
under direct orders of the King.
JASON DAWN
Is it possible to use synthesized
transfer-RNA to encode an entirely
new genome like the Wise Man’s?
TOUR GUIDE
You mean inter-species genetic
transmutation.
(beat)
Over many years, scientists have
tried to fully map the genetic
codes of each of these gorillas
into one DNA blueprint. But for
some unexplainable reasons, it
never worked. No matter how times
they tried. It just doesn’t work.
(beat)
The Apegoriman’s power is a gift of
God. One that modern science can’t
copy or recreate.
INT. PENTAGON -- SITUATION ROOM -- DAY

The people around a table, listening to Larry are:
F.B.I. Director BRADLEY, F.B.I. agent JOHN CRUST, White
House Chief of Staff DAN PARKER, National Security Advisor
Ben Stone, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs GENERAL PAUL BECK,
Air Force Colonel Jade, and C.I.A. Director MURPHY.
LARRY NEALSON
As Secretary of Defense, it is my
duty to make this announcement.
Nights ago, there was a breaking
and entering in one of our cargo
ships in the Atlantic ocean.
31.
EXT. ATLANTIC OCEAN -- MORNING (FLASHBACK)

COAST GUARD HELICOPTERS touch down on the back of the cargo
ship. Several coast guardsmen jump onto the deck of the ship
to take a look around.
LARRY NEALSON (V.O.)
Coast guard picked up the cargo
ship. It’s partially damaged.
They walk through a broken access panel into the vault room.
They see dead Army Guards. The vault is open and the nuclear
bomb is not there. It’s gone. The Strongish Lords stole it.
INT. PENTAGON -- SITUATION ROOM -- CONTINUOUS

LARRY NEALSON
The MK49 nuclear bomb is missing.
(beat)
Now, the suspects must be trained
professionals- judging from the
killing of the Captain and the
entire Crew. They also shot down
Coast Guard helicopters. There is
some possibility this is a plot by
terrorists, but we don’t know.
The door opens. A NAVAL ATTACHE walks in.
BEN STONE
The president is not yet informed.
Once we get a threat...
NAVAL ATTACHE
Just got one. Call online two.
The call connects to a phone on the table.
LARRY NEALSON
Hello, this is the Secretary of
Defense Larry Nealson.
LORD S1
Hi Mr. Secretary. I’m Lord S1,
leader of the Strongish kingdom.
LARRY NEALSON
Strongish kingdom? I have never
heard of it.
INTERCUT - PENTAGON and STRONGISH HEADQUARTERS as necessary.
32.
LORD S1
Briefly. We are a fraternity of men
of a kind. A kingdom of power. Now,
I’ll come straight to the point,
Mr. Secretary: I would like to
inform you that I have in my
possession the MK49 nuclear bomb.
DAN PARKER
We never negotiate with terrorists
LORD S1
Whoever said that he’s an idiot-
DAN PARKER
That was me. The White House Chief
of Staff Dan Parker. Now you give
me some goddamn respect, Lord S1.
Everyone stares at the phone a beat.
LORD S1
An idiot like you... you don’t know
why you’re too fast to interrupt
me. You don’t know why the United
States government never negotiate
with terrorists. But I do know why.
Control. They’re too powerful.
Power is what I want.
BEN STONE
Give us the nuclear bomb back then
we’ll talk.
LORD S1
Your request won’t be accommodated
until you find me this boy.
ON THE SCREEN - A PICTURE OF TYLER BLACK
F.B.I. DIRECTOR BRADLEY
Why do you desire him?
LORD S1
He’s got something I want. He has
the power I deserve.
C.I.A. DIRECTOR MURPHY
What kind of power?
LORD S1
That is classified information. You
just bring him to me and I shall
return the nuclear bomb.
33.
GENERAL PAUL
How can we be sure you’ll give it
back.
LORD S1
You have my words.
COLONEL JADE
We need more than just words.
LORD S1
If you refuse to deliver him, I
launch the nuclear bomb to the most
populous city in the country. Of
course, I am thinking of the city
of Nguizanie. You have 18 days - to
bring him to me. Any questions?
No one dissents a beat.
LORD S1
I didn’t hope so. Warning: Don’t
even consider launching a net. I
know everything there is to know
about it, Mr. Secretary. You folks
have a nice day now. Lord S1 out!
Lord S1 hangs up. Everyone in the room stares at Larry.
LARRY NEALSON
Looks like we got ourselves a crazy
and smart sonofabitch.
INT. SCHOOL CAFETERIA -- DAY

Tyler carries his tray to a table. Jason joins him.
JASON DAWN
What’s up, man? I’m Jason.
TYLER BLACK
What’s up? I’m Tyler.
Jason glances at Tyler’s tray.
JASON DAWN
Banana bread? Really?
TYLER BLACK
Yeah. What’s wrong with that?
34.
JASON DAWN
What? You’re like in some gorilla
diet or something?
Tyler grins.
JASON DAWN
Like an ape gorilla in the jungle.
(gorilla-like)
Aaarrr!!! Aaarrr!!! Aaarrr!!!
Tyler puts his head down. Then up. He sees Sydney and her
FRIENDS walking toward where Crick and his Buddies are
sitting. Tyler looks at Sydney a long beat. Jason looks at
Tyler, notices that he’s looking at something else.
JASON DAWN
Who...
Jason looks where Tyler is looking. Sydney waves at Tyler.
Tyler waves back with a kind smile.
JASON DAWN
Ah!
TYLER BLACK
What?
JASON DAWN
No. Not her. Someone else but not
her. She’s Crick’s girl. You don’t
want to mess with Crick.
TYLER BLACK
What is he? Some massive punk who
eat babies and listen to Slayer in
his free time.
JASON DAWN
Yeah up.
Tyler laughs at Jason.
JASON DAWN
Look, Crick is not someone you want
to mess with. He knows karate. And
I heard he once broke one kid’s
neck for trying to hit on Sydney.
TYLER BLACK
(grins)
My ass.
35.
Tyler laughs. He glances at Sydney’s table. She smiles at

him. He smiles back. Crick notices. All of the sudden he
reacts madly. He stands up and walks toward Tyler’s table.
JASON DAWN
Alright, tough guy. I’ll just watch
my back every now and then if I
were you.
Tyler looks at Crick and his Buddies approaching. As soon as
Jason notices-
JASON DAWN
Dude... You’re so dead.
Tyler gets out of the chair. Crick gets to him. His fist
punches Tyler. Tyler’s head snaps back and bounces forward.
Another fist. It crunches into Tyler’s nose and he crumples
to the pavement in this cafeteria at school. Tyler spits out
some blood.
CRICK JOE
I warned you! Don’t talk to my
girl!
Crick’s Buddies begin beating the crap out of him. Jason’s
face is banded, teeth clamped, as he hurls himself at them.
He instantly gets a punch into the head, knocking him down
instantly on the floor.
Tyler is not defending himself.
CRICK JOE
Come on! Fight back!
Crick punches him in the ribs- Tyler groans in pain. A beat.
Tyler picks himself up. Dusts himself off.
TYLER BLACK
You’re just a pretender.
Crick’s Buddies laugh, they find Tyler kind of amusing. This
upsets Crick even more, he takes out a POCKETKNIFE and he’s
about to stab it on Tyler’s belly when a voice from behind
stops him.
SYDNEY PITT
Stop!
They turn around. Sydney stands behind them.
36.
SYDNEY PITT
Leave him alone, Crick.
Crick ignores her, keeps charging at Tyler. A school POLICE
OFFICER storms in-
OFFICER
Hey! You! Drop the knife down!
Frustrated, Crick throws the knife into the wall next to
Tyler’s face. He grabs Sydney’s hand-
CRICK JOE
Let’s go.
Sydney refuses, pulls her hand of him. She’s mad at him.
SYDNEY PITT
I’ll take care of myself.
He and the other Punks head for the exit of the cafeteria,
leaving Tyler behind, blood dripping down out of his nose,
humiliated. Sydney ambles. Jason gets up and follows Tyler
out of the cafeteria as he exits. Sydney feels so sorry.

The same Authorities sit in the room.
The door opens. The Naval Attache pokes his head in.
NAVAL ATTACHE
Mr. Secretary, it’s him again.
The call connects to a phone on the table.
LARRY NEALSON
Lord S1, this is Secretary Nelson.
LORD S1
I wanna point out something. I have
men searching for him. You have to
find him and bring him to me before
they do- otherwise, here are the
following two things that are going
to happen- first, you’ll not be
getting the MK49 back- and second,
which is worst, I’ll still launch
the nuke to Nguzanie City.
(beat)
I repeat- you refuse to bring him
to me- I launch the nuke. We find
(MORE)
37.
LORD S1 (cont’d)
him before you do- I still launch
the nuke. And I meant my words.
Lord S1 hangs up. Everyone in the room looks at each other.
LARRY NEALSON
What’s the potential casualty rate
of a MK49 nuclear bomb?
COLONEL JADE
The effect of a single MK49 bomb
would depend on its power, and
where it exploded - high in the air
or at ground level - and in a
densely populated and built-up area
like a city, at least eight
millions people will die...
DAN PARKER
That’s about the population of
Nguizanie city.
COLONEL JADE
It will wiped out the whole city
upon detonation.
That’s deadly. We need to inform
the Major of Nguizanie City.
LARRY NEALSON
No. That will create a total chaos
in the whole city.
What did Lord S1 mean by "net"
Colonel?
COLONEL JADE
Pluto. A MK49 nuclear bomb can be
neutralized by pluto. It cools it
off- freezes it upon detonation.
The problem is that MK49 is more
powerful and designed to withstand
pluto. The Strongish terrorists
must know about P.N. Gas, General.
GENERAL PAUL
Of course they do. They hacked our
database in Nguizanie.
(tells them)
"P.N. Gas," short for "Plutonium
Neutralizing Gas," still in its

38.
GENERAL PAUL (cont’d)

test phase. It detonates closely at
millions of negative kelvin, enough
to cool off MK49. But the problem
is we are not operational.
AGENT CRUST
What can the Air Force do, Colonel?
COLONEL JADE
We can try to equip some flights of
F-16s with P.N. Gas in the next few
days. But view the use of P.N. Gas
as a secondary initiative.
LARRY NEALSON
Then on to our primary initiative.
We need to find that kid Tyler.
The F.B.I. will have a team ready.
LARRY NEALSON
We’ll need a search running.
Leave that to us, the C.I.A.
EXT. PARKING GARAGE -- NIGHT

Lord S12 looks below. A black SUV pulls onto the top floor.
Lord S17 emerges- He moves to him. Lord S12 points at the
street- Tyler and Jason walk toward a video store.
LORD S12
Let’s do the job right this time.
Lord S17 nods. And then they walk towards the store.
INT. VIDEO STORE -- NIGHT

Tyler and Jason filter in the store.
JASON DAWN
Dude, check it out. The Dark
Knight.
He rushes to get it, leaving Tyler behind.
39.
EXT. VIDEO STORE -- NIGHT

AN UNKNOWN POV - WATCHING TYLER IN THE STORE

Tyler wanders the store. Jason walks up to him, with a video
game.
JASON DAWN
(playfully)
Got one for you: War of Gorillas. I
know it’s your favorite.
The GIRL behind the counter laughs, she finds Jason kind of
amusing. Jason stares at her. He likes her. He walks to her.
GIRL
Hi.
JASON DAWN
Um, yes, hello. How’s it going?
Tyler watches them and smiles.
Tyler’s attention is now riveted to --
TYLER’S POV - THE DOUBLE DOORS OF THE VIDEO STORE
They swing open as two "hippies" enter (IN SLOW MOTION):
Lord S12 and Lord S17.
They move toward Tyler with determination, their eyes on him
the all time. They get to him. They smile at the same time.
Tyler is lost by their wry smiles. Calmly, they take out
most technologically advanced PAIR OF GUNS ever seen. Point
them at Tyler. We see four sharpshooter’s lasers on Tyler’s
chest.
LORD S12
We need you to come with us now.
Tyler gives them a look. A speechless look.
EXT. VIDEO STORE -- NIGHT

RETURN TO: THE UNKNOWN POV - MOVING TOWARD THE STORE
MOTION -- it’s us -- we’re running -- we’re exhilarating.
The momentum carries us from one side of the street to the
next, over a road, the cars passing below. And we fall...
40.

...into the store, SHATTERING the window.
REVEAL: Lord V2. He lands on the ground and rolls up fast,
guns ready.
Lord S12 grabs Tyler and places a gun on his head. Everyone
bolts out of the store expect Tyler and the Lords. Standing
in front of Tyler, Lord S17 looks at Lord V2 with fury.
LORD S17
(to Lord S12)
Go. I’ll take care of him.
Lord S12 holds Tyler tight. And then, he RUNS into the wall,
leaving behind an ENORMOUS HOLE.
Lord S17 and Lord V2 look at each other a long beat.
LORD V2
S17.
LORD S17
V2.
LORD V2
It’s only us now.
LORD S17
No. It’s only me.
LORD V2
Oh, really?
LORD S17
About fist to fist.
LORD V2
I like the sound of that.
They both drop their weapons. Lord S17 charges after V2. V2
charges too. S17 grabs V2, throws him out through the broken
window like a weightless object...
EXT. STREET -- NIGHT

...SLAMMING on a car. CRUSHING its windshield. Lord S17
follows Lord V2 down by jumping through the empty window.
S17 LIFTS a car up in the air. He DROPS it on V2. But, V2
quickly moves aside before it hits.
41.
S17 stands there, listening to V2 rushed breathe. Bent, V2

looks at S17 in pain and S17 smiles. His wry smile upsets
V2. V2 rises up. Angry face. V2 charges after S17 fast...
LORD V2
(yells)
VARYISH!!!
...and V2 suddenly TRANSFORMS into a HUGE-MASSIVE SIZE
GORILLA-LIKE CREATURE, smaller than King Kong, but very
incredible and terrifying. In fact, it’s the same gorilla we
saw in the beginning: whitish brown with black hair.
S17 picks two cars up in the air. S17 awaits for V2 to get
near. Lord V2, now the gorilla, is approaching fast at S17.
At a great distance, S17 throws one car at him. V2 hits it
aside, BLASTING cars in the street. S17 launches the other
car. Lord V2 catches it, then throws it back at S17. The car
drags Lord S17 back, CRUSHING him into another car. There is
no hope that he’s still alive.
Then, Lord V2 runs toward the parking garage.
EXT. PARKING GARAGE -- NIGHT

Another black SUV pulls onto the top floor. Many "hippies"
emerge- more STRONGISH: Lord S21, S22, S26, and S29. At a
distance, Lord S12 carries Tyler by his belt. Lord S12 walks
toward the SUV. Lord S21 points at them. The rest of the
group nods in agreement.
Lord S21 opens the SUV’s REAR DOOR- He grads a face mask and
a duct tape.
LORD S21
That way he won’t remember the
direction to our headquarters.
LORD S29
He’ll be dead anyway.
LORD S1 (O.S.)
Not quite...
The figure emerges: Lord S1. Dressed like the others.
LORD S1
I told you I want him captured as
soon as possible. I never said I’ll
kill him right away.
42.
LORD S29
Our plot will stall if we wait.
LORD S1
A reasonable stall needed to
succeed. Now, if you don’t like my
strategy, find yourself another
fraternity. Assuming there is
another society out there that’s
better than us.
Lord S29 frowns. Lord S12 DROPS Tyler- He HITS the ground.
LORD S1
I thought you’d be older.
TYLER BLACK
(in pain)
What do you want from me?
Lord S22 at the periphery is suddenly SOAKED UP into the
darkness. No one else notices.
LORD S1
What else would I want from you?
Something of course.
Lord S21 to the side VANISHES with a scream, and everyone
else notices. Lord S1 looks taken aback. S1 nods to S29.
Lord S29 steps forward. He tapes Tyler’s body. Then, he puts
a mask on his face too.
BOOM! A car LANDS -- CRASHES a Sedan next to the SUVs. Lord
S29 precipitates to a SUV with Tyler. Another car FALLS on
their path. CHAOS as the Strongish Lords scatter and the lot
erupts in CAR CRASHES.
THE GORILLA POV - throws more cars to the Strongish Lords
standing by the other SUV. A load of cars HITTING the walls-
BREAKING DOWN the bricks of the building. Lord S1 TURNS as
he hears another man, Lord S26, SCREAM.
LORD S1
Let’s get out of here.
He drops down behind his SUV- glasses SHATTER in the side by
a car blasts right in front of him. He starts to crawl into
the passenger’s seat-
An object falls on the door, his arm is pressed and stuck
when the door shuts- the head of a car is behind him- he
PUSHES it with his FREE HAND- the car collapses to the
ground, glasses SHATTERING. The Lord S12, crouching from the
car crashes, looks down at Lord S1.
43.
LORD S12
He’s came strong on us!
LORD S1
Who could he be?!
LORD S12
A goddamn Varyish Lord!
A huge creature EMERGES up onto an ENORMOUS PILE of crashed
cars: The massive size gorilla-like creature. He ROARS.
LORD S1
That’s the one that killed S41.
The Strongish Lords RUSH down to their SUVs as the parking
garage FALLS apart: bricks DROPPING on cars in the pavement.
GORILLA POV - MOVING TOWARD THE SUVS
INT. LORD S1’S SUV -- CONTINUOUS

In the SUV, Lord S1 is on the passenger’s seat and Lord S12
is on the driver’s seat.
Lord S1 picks a BAZOOKA- He loads it and AIMS down at the
approaching gorilla for a quiet moment...
BOOM! S1 FIRES. The gorilla is BLOWN OFF HIS FEET- bricks
FALL DOWN onto the gorilla-like creature-
EXT. PARKING GARAGE -- CONTINUOUS

Screech! The SUVs REAR BACKWARDS in terror, blasting cars
all around the parking garage.

Lord S29 is on the wheel. He’s alone until-
Lord S29 LOOKS in the back of the dark cold SUV, sees Tyler
STUMBLING, his body still taped, the mask still on his face-

The SUVs SPEED down the ramp toward the exit. The Gorilla
KICKS out the bricks that lay on top of his body- The SUVs
CURVE in the short concave slope...
44.
EXT. ONE STOREY BELOW, PARKING GARAGE -- CONTINUOUS

...into the next storey below-

Tyler KNOCKS his head in the car, groaning in pain-

Back at the previous storey. The Gorilla picks himself up.
Dusts himself off. He motions to the wall. He CLIMBS down
the wall and DIVES...
EXT. ONE STORY BELOW, PARKING GARAGE -- CONTINUOUS

...into the pavement of the next storey below.
The Gorilla rises, Lord S1’s SUV RUNS behind him- he can’t
turn in time- BLAM- he’s BANGED up high into the air by the
speeding SUV...

LORD S1
(satisfied)
Varyish punk.

...and FALLS on the roof of the next SUV: Lord S29’s SUV.
INT.LORD S29’S SUV -- CONTINUOUS

Lord S29 hears a noise- a ten feet tall and ten-thousand
pounds sack of limp meat and bone that SLAMS onto the roof-
LORD S29
What the f-
Lord S29 accelerates- He steers the SUV zigzags.
INT/EXT. SUV / PARKING GARAGE -- CONTINUOUS
The Gorilla STUMBLES on the roof- He raises his arm,
revealing his big hand- Lord S29 steers the SUV zigzags- The
Gorilla ROLLS on the roof, almost falling sideways. Then,
45.
he’s gone. Lord S29 looks both sides of the SUV in the side
mirrors- then the rear view mirror- The crushed roof is
quiet. Suddenly, the Gorilla POUNDS straight through the
windshield, pulls his hand out and POUNDS again- his wrist
gets STUCK. Lord S29 steers toward a column...

Lord S1 loads a SHOTGUN... cocks it...

The Gorilla can’t free himself... He’s pulling his hand out.

BOOM! The whole windshield shatters, freeing the Gorilla. We
see Lord S1 halfway out of his SUV’s door window carrying
the shotgun. Lord S29 frowns at Lord S1: you almost shot me.

The Gorilla REVOLVES free of the SUV as it SCRATCHES the
column and proceeds at high speed down the curvy exit ramp.
EXT. PARKING GARAGE -- MOMENTS LATER

We’re moving in the pavement, it’s messy. Tire marks all
over the place. It’s quiet until we see Lord V2, back to
normal, picks himself up. We hear a voice moaning. A body is
fighting down on the ground.
Lord V2 motions down to find out that it’s Tyler, the mask
and the duct tapes.
He lines him up against the wall. He cuts off all the tapes,
rips the mask off. Tyler breathes out. Before Tyler gets the
chance to take a look at the face of his savior, Lord V2
knocks him down unconscious.
INT. STRONGISH HEADQUARTERS -- GARAGE -- NIGHT

The damaged SUVs back up into the garage. The garage is full
of MEN all dressed up in hippie outfits, black sunglasses,
and the earphones. Lord S1, S12, and S29 get out the cars.
46.
LORD S1
Where’s him?
LORD S29
He’s in the trunk.
LORD S1
Get him out of there.
Lord S29 opens the SUV REAR DOOR- He looks in- There’s no
sign of Tyler in the trunk- He turns to Lord S1.
LORD S29
He’s gone, my lord.
LORD S1
What do you mean "he’s gone". I
told you to care take of him.
LORD S29
He must have rolled out during the
chaos and got away. Sorry my lord.
LORD S1
Sorry...
(grabs a gun)
You know about the look you gave me
when I shot down your windshield. I
didn’t like it.
(loads bullets)
A sign of a bad character. A hard
one to trust.
(cocks it)
My old man always told, "To succeed
in a plot, son, you need good and
trustful characters around you."
Bad news is...you ain’t one of em--
BOOM! Lord S1 SHOOTS Lord S29! Everyone else watches.
LORD S1
(to Crowd)
Let’s this be a lesson to you all.
(a beat)
Now, search everywhere in the city,
find anyone who knows our target
and kill ’em. Then, he shall
certainly surrenders himself to us.
Go! Now!
Everyone gets to work. Lord S12 approaches Lord S1
47.
LORD S12
What about the Varyish, my lord?
The whole kingdom or one man? He
can wait.
LORD S1
We’ll take care of them soon. But,
let’s first see how this killing
plan is going to turn out.
His wry smile gives way to...
Black. And then...
INT. VARYISH HEADQUARTERS -- THE PIT OF WARRIORS -- NIGHT

A HIGH-CEILING CONCRETE CHAMBER. It looks like a very sparse
Japanese-style dojo but built for oversize combat. There is
a GLASS window high up close to the ceiling at one corner.
In the center of this training dojo is Tyler. He’s asleep.
Tyler’s eye pries open. He sits up, one eye still closed,
looking around, unsure of where he is. He notices the
presence of a person in front of him. Lord V2. He looks him
in the eyes. Tyler struggles to get up.
LORD V2
Here, let me help you.
TYLER BLACK
I don’t need your help.
LORD V2
Not my diagnosis.
Tyler picks up himself. Dusts himself off. Walks away.
LORD V2
Where are you going, Tyler?
Tyler squints at him. Have we met?
TYLER BLACK
How do you know my name? And where
am I?
LORD V2
You should be grateful you’re still
alive because I just saved your ass
from the evil ones.
Tyler looks at him a beat.
48.
TYLER BLACK
Who are you?
LORD V2
Your guardian of freedom.
Tyler grins, titters.
LORD V2
Lord V2. My real name is Tom Fog.
My friends call me V2 because I’m a
VARYISH. Another fraternity of a
kind. Also a kingdom of power. We
transform into gorillas species.
TYLER BLACK
You change into a gorilla?
LORD V2
Uh-huh. And I bet you do too.
TYLER BLACK
I think you got the wrong guy.
LORD V2
Can’t say that I agree with you.
Tyler rushes to the exit as Lord V8 and Lord V19 enters.
LORD V8
The holy Kahuzi-Biega Apegoriman.
The Lord of The Lost Souls.
Tyler thinks about what he learned at the Kaliba Museum.
TYLER BLACK
Wait, what did you just say?
LORD V19
Have you ever seen a man change
into a gorilla?
TYLER BLACK
No.
LORD V8
V19, show him.
Lord V19 runs forward as he yells the word "Varyish" and he
suddenly transforms into a gorilla-like creature. He roars.
For a moment, Tyler is stunned. For the first time ever he
sees a man changed into a gorilla. He thinks about what he
learned at the Kaliba museum. Then, he turns to Lord V2.
49.
TYLER BLACK
He changed into a gorilla-like
creature. Is he strong too? Is he
fast? Can he jump up in the air?
LORD V2
Only the Apegoriman had all four
powers. The King of the United of
Kingdoms learned the secret behind
his powers and he ordered his first
General to terminate his poor life.
With his blood and bones, they were
able to create the four lost souls.
Tyler nods, conceding the point.
LORD V1
My tale holds some truth, I see.
TYLER BLACK
There were men.
LORD V1
Men? Strongish Lords.
TYLER BLACK
Stron- what?
LORD V2
Men in hippie costumes and black
sunglasses. They are known as
STRONGISH. Another fraternity of
men of a kind. They are inhumanly
strong. It’s a lost soul itself.
TYLER BLACK
They killed my father.
LORD V2
And I suppose my mother too?
TYLER BLACK
How do you know that? Why would
they do such things?
LORD V8
The Apegoriman’s holy spirit die
and reborn every five centuries.
LORD V19
Your family is the only descendant
of the Apegoriman. The chosen one.
They murdered them to get to you.
(MORE)
50.
LORD V19 (cont’d)

It’s been five hundred years since
the death of the last Gorillaman.
TYLER BLACK
That means I am the Gorillaman.
LORD V2
There’s a lot of things you don’t
know about yourself, Tyler. You’re
more than what you think you are.
LORD V8
You have all four lost souls. The
Strongish Lords want your blood and
bone marrow cells to rebuild their
army and use that power to take
over the country.
(beat)
You hold your own survival and the
country’s freedom.
LORD V19
You are the only one who can defeat
them successfully.
Tyler thinks a beat.
TYLER BLACK
I... I...
LORD V2
I know you’re afraid you’d fail. I
know how you feel, but in this
world we can’t conquer our fears by
running away. With our supports you
can end their reign of terror.
Tyler shakes his head.
TYLER BLACK
No! I don’t believe it! Get me out
of here! Let me out! I want out!
Tyler screams.
INT. TYLER’S APARTMENT -- DAY

Screaming, Tyler bolts upright in bed in a studio apartment
that seems overgrown with basketball trophies and posters.
He realizes that he is home. Was it a dream?
51.
We hear a KNOCK on the door. It almost stops Tyler’s heart.

Tyler opens the door and finds Sydney. A long look between
them -- like two lost friends who recognize each other --
each has been waiting for this moment for a long time.
SYDNEY PITT
Hi.
TYLER BLACK
How did you know I live here?
SYDNEY PITT
I ran into Jason. He told me.
A long look between them again.
EXT. A COFFEE SHOP -- DAY

DARK CLOUDS. It’s going to rain in a little bit. The shop is
right on the street. Sydney and Tyler sit at a table.
SYDNEY PITT
It’s good to see you.
TYLER BLACK
Yeah, you too.
SYDNEY PITT
I’ve been feeling kinda funny about
the other day.
TYLER BLACK
Let’s just forget about it, okay?
SYDNEY PITT
Okay.
A beat. He grins and she smiles, relieved.
TYLER BLACK
Have you always live here?
SYDNEY PITT
No, I lived in Pila for two years
after I finished middle school.
Tried to be near my mother. She
became suicidal after my father
divorced her. He broke her heart.
TYLER BLACK
How is she now?
52.
SYDNEY PITT
I don’t know. I haven’t seen her
for days. I’m visiting her today.
TYLER BLACK
I wanna meet her. I like you. I’ve
an odd instinct she will like me.
SYDNEY PITT
(smiles)
She’ll like you.
They look at each other a beat.
SYDNEY PITT
What about your parents? Are they
divorced too?
TYLER BLACK
No.
SYDNEY PITT
Separated?
TYLER BLACK
They’re dead.
Sydney is shocked. A long beat.
SYDNEY PITT
I’m sorry.
TYLER BLACK
Yeah, I’m an orphan.
SYDNEY PITT
When did they pass away?
TYLER BLACK
I don’t want to talk about it.
SYDNEY PITT
Okay. That’s alright.
SYDNEY PITT
It must be very hard living on your
own without mom and dad.
TYLER BLACK
I can’t count on anyone.
53.
SYDNEY PITT
You can always count on me. I’ll
always be here for you.
TYLER BLACK
Crick-
SYDNEY PITT
I broke up with him. He cheated on
him with my best friend... what an
asshole.
TYLER BLACK
I’ve always thought he was.
SYDNEY PITT
Plus, he got suspended for trying
to stable you the other day.
TYLER BLACK
Good.
On a corner across the street, Lord S12 watches Sydney and
Tyler at the table. Tyler is sitting, back to us.
It begins to RAIN. The couple run to their car. Lord S12
then walks off screen.
INT. SYDNEY’S CAR -- DAY

Sydney pulls up to the curb in front of Tyler’s apartment.
TYLER BLACK
When do I get to see you again?
SYDNEY PITT
About today we go see my mother.
TYLER BLACK
It’s a date. I’ll go change.
Sydney smiles. Tyler smiles too. They both grin.
And he’s out of the car. She watches him, as he hurries in
the rain -- her eyes on him until the moment he opens the
door and is inside.
54.
EXT. SYDNEY’S HOUSE -- LATER THAT DAY

The rain is mild. Sydney’s car is in the driveway. Lord S12
sits in an unmarked, black car on a hillside above the
house, watching.
Sydney and Tyler come out of the house. They are dressed
casually. They get into the car.
INT. LORD S12’S CAR -- DAY

Lord S12 stays behind them at a safe distance on the highway
A two-lane road which leads from Vasco into Pila.
EXT. STREET -- PILA -- MOMENTS LATER

We see Sydney’s car parked in front of a house. Lord S12
parks his car a distance behind Sydney’s car. He sits there
for awhile.
INT. LORD S12’S CAR -- MOMENTS LATER

Lord S12 watches as Sydney and Tyler come out of the house.
A middle aged woman, Sydney’s mother, is with them. They hug
her. They get into the car, start it up. They leave.
Lord S12 waits a beat. Then, he gets out of the car, walks
towards the house, holding a THICK ROPE in one hand.
Lord S12 gets to the front door. We close on his finger
pressing the "ring" button of a bell.
A BELL DINGS.
Sydney’s mother opens the door wide. Lord S12 gives her an
evil smile. And what happens next remains a mystery for now.
INT. NGUIZANIE CITY MALL -- DAY

It’s a busy day. People everywhere. A BLACK HOODED TOP
steals an old lady’s purse. He runs through the crowds.
Jason and Jeniffer, the video store girl, walk holding
hands. They look happy and in love. They own our hearts
until we realize we are watching them THROUGH...
SNIPER’S RIFLE SCOPE - A SNIPER’S EYES
awaiting his shot -- Jason is the target.
55.
As the crowd in front of them walk off INTO VIEW in the

other direction... exposing Jason... Now we see the sniper
dressed in hippie outfit, the black sunglasses, and the
earphone. LORD S63. Finger close to the trigger.
Just as the Hoody runs, pushes Jeniffer in front of Jason,
BOOM! She is hit by Lord S63’s shot. She falls, inches from
Jason, dead. Blood has splattered on Jason’s face.
INT. LORD S63’S NEST -- DAY

At the sniper’s heaven, Lord S63 snaps his head back to the
scope, realizing he’s shot the wrong person. Then he catches
a glimpse of Jason-
Jason ducks behind the gathering crowd, out of Lord S63’s
line of sight.
INT. NGUIZANIE CITY MALL -- DAY

Jason finds his way out as the Police move in.
INT. LORD S63’S NEST -- DAY

Lord S63 is itching to get another shot off at Jason.
VOICE (ON EARPHONE)
Get out of there - NOW!
After a beat, he packs up quickly, and leaves.
INT. SYDNEY’S ROOM -- DAY

We ROLLS across details in the bedroom’s floor... we see a
woman’s bra, thong...man boxer...condom wrapper and we see-
Tyler under Sydney. They are passionately making love. As we
continue to move around, we see, by degrees, that Tyler and
Sydney are naked. The nudity is never blatantly revealed to
us, but implied. In other words, they’re covered in various
ways from our POV, but we are aware of their exposure.
A CELLPHONE RINGS. Again. It’s Sydney’s phone.
TYLER BLACK
Don’t... don’t answer it.
56.
SYDNEY PITT
Shit. I have too. That’s my
emergency ring tone.
Sydney fumbles for phone. She picks it up, listens.
SYDNEY PITT
Yeah.
(beat)
Okay. I’ll be there in a few
minutes.
Sydney hangs up. She is there a long beat, staring. She
looks disturbed. Tyler looks at her.
TYLER BLACK
What’s wrong, Sydney?
SYDNEY PITT
I’ve got to go to Pila.
TYLER BLACK
But we just came from there.
SYDNEY PITT
I’ve got to go. They say it’s an
emergency.
TYLER BLACK
I’ll come with you.
EXT. SYDNEY’S MOTHER HOUSE -- PILA -- DAY

There are lots of police cars, flashing lights, uniformed
men, forensic specialists. They walk into the house.
INT. SYDNEY’S MOTHER HOUSE -- DAY

As she walks down, she sees several uniformed men. They are
standing by the kitchen door.
They look at her as she comes closer to them -- then the
leader opens the door, they move aside. She can see in the
kitchen now. Her mother tied up in the air. She’s hanged, a
rope around her neck. Tyler stares. Tyler’s seen someone die
like this (hanged in the kitchen) before...
57.
EXT. SYDNEY’S MOTHER HOUSE -- PILA -- DAY

Sydney and Tyler stands by an ambulance.
SYDNEY PITT
I knew it’ll happen eventually.
It’s all my fault.
TYLER BLACK
No, it’s not your fault.
SYDNEY PITT
Yes it is.
He looks at her a beat. She is about to break into
uncontrollable sobbing. He puts his arms around her.
TYLER BLACK
It’s OK. It’s OK.
SYDNEY PITT
(quietly)
I shouldn’t stay away from her. I
knew she’s goin’ to kill herself.
A FORENSIC SPECIALIST approaches.
TYLER BLACK
What’s up, Doc?
FORENSIC SPECIALIST
Ms. Pitt- judging from the bruises
on the body- your mother’s death is
not a suicide- it’s a homicide. It
seems more like she fought back
against her killer before she dies
Tyler gives us a look: I knew exactly her mother’s death is
not a suicide. Lord V2’s voice speaks on his mind as he
thinks a beat.
LORD V2 (V.O.)
They will harm everyone you know
until you surrender yourself to
them.
TYLER BLACK
They keep killin’ my relatives -
first my parents, and now your
mother - you are the next target- I
know that for sure - their plan is
to kill the people around me until
I give in myself to them.
58.
Sydney looks at him.

SYDNEY PITT
What are you talking about? Who’s
"they... them"? And why would they
want to hurt me?
TYLER BLACK
It’s complicated, Sydney. Just stay
with the police. Don’t go home.
Please. I’ve got to go.
SYDNEY PITT
What? Go where?
TYLER BLACK
(breaking away)
Go see someone!
He runs toward a busy street.
SYDNEY PITT
Who?! Tyler! Tyler!!!
EXT. BUSY STREET -- DAY

Tyler hurries to catch a TAXI as a CCTV CAMERA captures his
face.
Follow this SEQUENCE as...
INT. CIA SUBSTATION -- DAY

A VIEWING STATION gets MILLIONS of VIDEOS... Analyze through
BILLIONS of faces... A figure EMERGES from the SCREEN.
TYLER’S FACE.

Send it to Pentagon right now.
INT. LARRY’S OFFICE -- PENTAGON -- DAY

Larry stares out the large window. Colonel Jade walks in.
COLONEL JADE
We’ve got something, sir.
They walk out of the office...
INT. HALLWAY -- PENTAGON -- DAY

...into the hallway. A colleague hands Colonel Jade a FILE.
LARRY NEALSON
Are you tracking him?
COLONEL JADE
Yeah, thanks John. We have a team
in the joint operations center
tracking him - and the F.B.I. send
some men. They are on their way to
Nguizanie. Our men are ready just
in case.
LARRY NEALSON
Good. We can’t take any chances. We
need him to get that nuke back.
INT. TAXI -- DAY

Tyler is listening to the radio station.
CAR RADIO DJ (O.S.)
--You want to taste something
different? Try Tom Fog’s foot long
ice cream. The shop is at 3003 Ash
Avenue, Nganga, Nguizanie. Go now!
60.
TYLER BLACK
Tom... Fog... Take me to Nganga.
TAXI DRIVER
(an accent)
I can’t. There is a hippie parade
going on somewhere around there.
All roads are closed. You must take
the subway. It’s also faster.
TYLER BLACK
Then take me to the subway.
INT. PENTAGON -- JOINT OPERATIONS CENTER -- DAY

SUPER: "PENTAGON -- JOINT OPERATIONS CENTER"
Larry and Colonel Jade enter the joint operations center.
COLONEL JADE
We pulled his background.
LARRY NEALSON
What do we got?
COLONEL JADE
No prior convictions. A very sad
record. Both parents are dead. No
more relatives.
LARRY NEALSON
Run a cross check on any known
anomalies. And if there are any,
talk to them.
GENERAL PAUL
Will do, Mr. Secretary.
Larry addresses the room.
LARRY NEALSON
People, listen up, this is a full
priority situation. I demand extra
focus. Our target is a Nguizanie
Resident, Tyler Black, I want all
his phones, his apartment, his car,
bank accounts, credit cards. I
wanna know everything he does.
Every dirty little secret he has.
And most of all, we want to know
the kind of power he’s claimed to
have. Any question?
61.
(looks around)
All right, let’s get to work.
INT. PILA SUBWAY PLATFORM -- DAY

Tyler is heading down the stairs to the subway platform.
After a moment, the TRAIN arrives. Tyler gets on the train.
INT. PENTAGON -- BRIEFING ROOM -- DAY

Larry is giving an ANNOUNCEMENT SPEECH to the press.
LARRY NEALSON
As Secretary of Defense, it is my
duty to make this announcement. We
have lost a nuclear bomb on one of
our cargo ships in the Atlantic
ocean. It’s already confirmed this
is a plot by a terrorist group
called Strongish.
REPORTER #1
Has any threat been made yet?
LARRY NEALSON
That is classified information.
REPORTER #2
Are there any other suspects?
INT. POLICE STATION -- DAY

Sydney watches the television.
ON THE TELEVISION SCREEN
LARRY NEALSON
One. A Nguizanie City Resident
named Tyler Black.
GASPS from the REPORTERS. Larry struggles to be heard.
LARRY NEALSON
We have F.B.I. Teams searching him
around in the city of Nguizanie...
(a beat)
I thank you for your time.
Sydney looks confused. Is it really my Tyler Black?
62.
EXT. SUBWAY -- DAY

The train winds its way to Nganga.
INT. SUBWAY -- DAY

Tyler sits comfortably in the train. He sees a beautiful
black woman sitting opposite him. She wears a black blouse
with red buttons. He stares at her a long beat. She reminds
him of his mother-
FLASHBACK
Sarah smiles at him. Sarah is hit on the head. Sarah is
hanged, dead in the kitchen. Tyler stares and cries
INT. SUBWAY -- DAY

Tyler comes out of the flashback. He is still staring at the
black woman when a curious thing happens...
...he notices that the top red button close to her neck
starts to move a little, like another button is trying to
emerge from it, like a red penny shaking.
IT’S A SHARPSHOOTER’S LASER!
Tyler reacts-
TYLER BLACK
DIVE ASIDE!!!
...but it’s too late as bullets rip into her neck, cutting
her head off...Tyler crouches. Everyone panics, runs wild.
...all this as the black woman’s head rolls down the floor
and the rest of her body hits the floor, blood shooting out.
Tyler looks up, sees two "hippies": LORD S77 and LORD S93.
The train goes to a stop. People precipitates toward the
exits. He wades into a thong of people as they follow after
him. And he’s out of the train.
EXT. SUBWAY -- DAY

Tyler runs on a busy subway platform -- heads to the stairs
that leads to the street. A CCTV camera watches him.
63.

TECHNICIAN #1 watches the data arrive.
TECHNICIAN #1
Subject is existing the subway.
Larry watches the monitor: Lord S77 and S93 runs after
Tyler.
LARRY NEALSON
Who are those guys?
TECHNICIAN #2
Not ours.
LARRY NEALSON
Gimme their identities onscreen.
TECHNICIAN #1
Searching profiles...Online...Now.
A window flashes onscreen, that reads, "NO PROFILES FOUND."
LARRY NEALSON
That can’t be right.
TECHNICIAN #1
These men have no identities. They
don’t exit, sir.
Larry looks confused.
EXT. ICE CREAM SHOP -- DAY

Tyler crosses a busy street. He heads to Tom Fog’s shop.
F.B.I. TEAM ONE watches from a parked VAN.

TECHNICIAN #2 watches the data arrive.
TECHNICIAN #2
Sir, subject is entering an ice
cream shop.
Larry watches the feeds.
64.
INT. ICE CREAM SHOP -- DAY

It is not even closing time as JACOB walks over to the front
door of the shop and locks the door. He then flips the
"open" sign over so that it now reads "closed."
A few straggling customers walk up to the door as he does
this and scoff at the "closed" sign.
JACOB
Sorry. We gotta close sometimes.
Jacob then walks back over to the counter. In front of the
counter, Tyler is standing there.

Larry watches the main screen.
LARRY NEALSON
I want a visual in the shop.
TECHNICIAN #1
It’s coming right away, sir.

The shop security camera watches Tyler and Jacob.

A surveillance video plays onscreen -- Tyler is talking to
Jacob. OPERATIONS CENTER chatter about Jacob’s identity.
LARRY NEALSON
I need an audio, people. I want to
hear what they’re saying.
TECHNICIAN #1
Can’t get an audio in the shop.

Tyler talks to Jacob.
TYLER BLACK
Where’s Tom Fog?
65.
JACOB
Why are you looking for him?
TYLER BLACK
Just tell me where he is!
JACOB
I don’t know. He was gone early
today. But he has left you
something behind. He told me to
give it to you when you get here.
Jacob walks over to the back of the counter, grabs a
package. He hands it to Tyler. Tyler opens the package.
TYLER BLACK
A prepaid cell phone?
The shop phone rings, Jacob answers it.
JACOB
(on the phone)
Tom Fog’s ice cream, how might I
help you today?
(to Tyler)
It’s for you.
TYLER BLACK
Who’s it?
JACOB
Who do you think?
Tyler takes the phone.
TYLER BLACK
Yeah. Tyler Black.

Larry watches as Tyler takes phone call.
LARRY NEALSON
Who is he talking to you? I need to
hear that phone talk.
TECHNICIAN #2
Sir, we have the line, but the
other end is not on it.

TYLER BLACK
Who is this?
INT. CAR TRAVELING -- DAY

LORD V2
It’s me. Lord V2. Activate the SIM
card on the new cellphone. That’s
your new phone. You’d need it.

Tyler hangs up the phone -- activates the SIM CARD on the
new cellphone and leaves.
F.B.I. AGENT CRUST (O.S.)
Are you getting the motion?

As Tyler on the motorcycle moves away, the black SUV pulls
out behind it. A BLUE GARBAGE TRUCK briefly blocks his path.
Looking in on Tyler calling Sydney on the phone.
LORD S57 (V.O.)
Stand by at Nganga Boulevard...
INT. SYDNEY’S ROOM -- DAY

A cellphone rings in Sydney’s room. No one answers.
68.
EXT. NGANGA BOULEVARD -- DAY

Lord V2 moving through the massive crowds of people...
EXT. MOTORCYCLE -- NGANGA BOULEVARD -- MOMENTS LATER

Tyler stops the motorcycle. Checks the prepaid phone. Looks
around -- Real hippies mill around the streets, the police
survey the area. He is not sure what his next move is.

Larry watches the feeds. All screens have the same image.
LARRY NEALSON
What is that?
TECHNICIAN #1
It’s a Hippie Parade, sir.
LARRY NEALSON
Where is the subject?
TECHNICIAN #1
F.B.I. TEAM ONE -- give us visual
on the subject.
EXT. STREET -- NGANGA BOULEVARD -- DAY

F.B.I. TEAM ONE- Agent Crust gets off the VAN, leading an
unit of F.B.I. AGENTS- take up a position on a corner across
from where Tyler stands. They focus cameras across at Tyler.
EXT. EXTERIOR STORE -- NGANGA BOULEVARD -- DAY

Lord V2 walks over to an exterior store, buys a hippie
costume for himself and one for Tyler. He puts one outfit in
the backpack. He turns to a corner and he is out of sight.

Tyler gets back on the motorcycle, moves...
69.
INT. PENTAGON -- JOINT OPERATIONS CENTER -- CONTINUOUS

Screens come alive with a POV of Tyler. Larry watches the
monitors: Tyler moves around Nganga Boulevard.
TECHNICIAN #2
Sir, subject is moving around
Nganga Boulevard.

Tyler stops the motorcycle, moves on foot through a massive
crowd. Behind him, inside the Nganga Boulevard opened mall,
Lord V2 emerges wearing the hippie costume. He looks just
like every other hippies on the parade.
Lord V2 sees Tyler, who stops. Sees the F.B.I. Agents.
HIPPIE SHOPPERS coming down the stairway of the mall. Lord
V2 joins them -- moving towards Tyler.
He’s holding the backpack. He’s moving closer, HEAD DOWN.
Right by Tyler, Lord V2 drops the bag. Tyler does not see
his face (no hint on V2’s face) but notices the bag drop-
Lord V2 brushes past Tyler. Tyler tries to inform him about
his bag. But it’s too late. Lord V2 is lost into the crowds.
Tyler picks up the bag. Hears a call from the prepaid phone.
TYLER BLACK
(answers)
Yeah.
LORD V2 (V.O.)
Don’t ask questions. Just listen.
INT. PENTAGON -- JOINT OPERATIONS CENTER - DAY

Larry is watching...
LARRY NEALSON
Who is he talking to? I need that
phone.
70.

Lord S57 is reviewing the feeds...
LORD S57
Who’s the guy who dropped the bag?
LORD S12
Not a civilian.
LORD S1
He’s getting help from a V-lord.
(beat)
Alert the snipers.
Lord S57 sends a task on the computer...
INT. THE BLACK SUV -- DAY

LORD S31 and Lord S68 dressed in hippie outfits, the black
sunglasses, and the earphones in one ear. They drive and
wait for instructions- their PHONES buzz- they read the
task- step on gas towards Nganga Boulevard...
EXT. STREET -- NGANGA BOULEVARD -- CONTINUOUS

Lord V2 reaches the other side of the street.
His POV to the right- a PARADE GROUP, polluted mostly by
Black Hippies, is coming.
To the left- a cluster of BLACK HIPPIES, about Tyler’s age-
walking toward the parade group, one shouts "Let’s join ’em"
A plan is forming.
EXT. STREET -- NGANGA BOULEVARD -- CONTINUOUS

F.B.I. TEAM ONE -- looking in on Tyler.
F.B.I. AGENT CRUST
What’s the confirmation?
INT. PENTAGON -- JOINT OPERATIONS CENTER -- CONTINUOUS

Larry is thinking it over as he watches the image of Tyler.
71.
EXT. STREET -- NGANGA BOULEVARD - DAY

Tyler wandering around. Then-
LORD V2 (V.O.)
Walk to the store’s fitting room to
your right. Change quickly into
what’s in the bag.
Tyler has clocked the store.
He walks into the fitting room, changes rapidly into what’s
in the bag: the other hippie costume.
LORD V2
Going out, you’ll see a cluster of
Black Hippies joining another
parade group of Black hippies. Join
them and stay with them.
The cluster of Black Hippies are approaching.
Tyler begins to move.

Things are beginning to happen.
TECHNICIAN #1
Subject is mobile.
LARRY NEALSON
Okay, who are the people in that
cluster of Black Hippies?
Screen POV. Tyler moves next to the cluster of Black Hippies
trying to play it cool- Tyler is completely in clear view of
the CCTV cameras. "Chatting" with the Black Hippies.
Camera zooming in.
LARRY NEALSON
Okay, there, he’s talking to those
guys. They must be the strongish
terrorists. Take them down.
Just then-
The cluster connecting into the parade, Tyler moves along
with them. One Parader starts a marching chant. The crowd
starts following along- Tyler is just moving his mouth.
72.
LARRY NEALSON
Grab the original Hippies and stay
with Tyler.
Technician #1 is giving orders...
EXT. ACROSS FROM PARADE -- DAY

F.B.I. TEAM ONE -- the Agents racing across the street on
foot. Rushing through the crowds.

Lord V2 is observing his plan display- only a few moments to
get Tyler out of there...
LORD V2 (V.O.)
Take your left. Go to the subway.
I’ll meet you at the platform.
EXT. PARADE -- NGANGA BOULEVARD -- CONTINUOUS

Tyler following the plan- moving out toward his left- the
parade proceeding down as the F.B.I. Agents are moving up
the street...

Larry is looking at the screen. He’s pointing...
LARRY NEALSON
No, no, look- Tyler is out of the
parade. Split up the team- get
those guys on the parade and send
people to stay on Tyler.
EXT. PARADE -- NGANGA BOULEVARD -- CONTINUOUS

Two Agents are taking off, to keep Tyler in check. The other
two Agents are racing to the head of parade as it gets to a
corner. Stopping the young Black Hippies.
GUNS are drawn. So fast. Other Paraders are screaming.
F.B.I. AGENT CRUST
(to Hippies)
Down on the ground! Now! Do it!
Pressing the Black Hippies with force to the ground.
73.
The Black Hippies are terrified and bewildered.

Tyler is moving towards the subway platform.
EXT. NGANGA SUBWAY PLATFORM -- DAY

Tyler is heading down to the subway platform, past an alley.
Two Agents following behind, only to meet- Lord V2 coming
out of the alley.
Several quick moves and they’re down- Lord V2 is the only
one standing.
Pulls their earpieces. Breaks them- signals are sent out.

Techies are scrambling to restore the feeds. Larry watching.
TECHNICIAN #1
We’ve lost two signals.
TECHNICIAN #2
What happened to F.B.I. Agents?
LARRY NEALSON
What’s going on? Send our men.
Technician #1 is giving orders...

PENTAGON TEAM- commandos out of their vehicles. Fully armed.
They are rushing down towards the subway platform.
EXT. NGANGA SUBWAY PLATFORM -- DAY

Lord V2 stops Tyler, surprising him. They talk in a hurry.
LORD V2
They’re tracking you.
74.
TYLER BLACK
Who’s tracking me?
LORD V2
The Pentagon. They intercepted your
face in Pila.
TYLER BLACK
Why are they tracking me?
LORD V2
Listen to me, Tyler- and this is
not easy to tell you and will most
likely result in great danger for
all involved. The Strongish Lords
have in their possession the most
powerful weapon ever made, using it
as a mean to get to you very fast
and to gain control of the country.
TYLER BLACK
I don’t believe this.
LORD V2
You’re shutdown, Tyler. How do I
end this is what should be coming
out your month right now.
TYLER BLACK
(after a beat)
How do I end this?
LORD V2
I see powers in your eyes. Powers,
perhaps, to end this war. You don’t
know, do you?
TYLER BLACK
What are you saying?
LORD V2
Most believe that you’re merely
legend. It is believed so because
there is only one of you every five
centuries.
(it hangs there for a beat)
There is a reason we are protecting
you from the government and S-Lords
If you wish, you’re welcome to join
the headquarters of our society.
75.
TYLER BLACK
I want in--
Lord V2 spotting Lord S77 and Lord S93 approaching.
LORD V2
Oh, shit. We have to move.
They move back toward the street. Lord S77 and Lord S93
follow them. CCTV CAMERA captures the motion.

SCREENS come alive again. Larry studies the monitors.
TECHNICIAN #2
Okay, the subject is on the move.
Heading toward the street.
They watch in the monitor: as Lord S77 and S93 emerge.
TECHNICIAN #1
Sir, they’re back.
LARRY NEALSON
What’s their deal?
TECHNICIAN #1
They’re after our subject too.
LARRY NEALSON
Okay, people, look sharp, stay with
them.

PENTAGON TEAM moves towards the subway platform entrance-
They’re are ready to capture the suspect.
EXT. NGANGA SUBWAY PLATFORM -- ENTRANCE DOOR -- DAY

Lord V2 and Tyler go separate ways. We follow Tyler-
76.
EXT. STREET -- NGANGA BOULEVARD - DAY

Out into the busy street.
PENTAGON TEAM spots Tyler.
Tyler walks up north toward the parade. He’s moving fast.
Fighting through the crowds.
Lord V2 on the periphery is looking out across the thong,
watching out the bad guys (who at the moment are PENTAGON
TEAM and Strongish Lords: S77 and S93).
Tyler hears a vibration is coming out front his pocket.
Tyler takes out the phone- still in the crowds. Tyler hits
"answer."
TYLER BLACK
Yeah.
LORD V2
Now, listen to me carefully. I’d
try to keep you out of street
cameras line of sight. So follow my
directions...
PENTAGON TEAM scatters into the crowds- looking for the
suspect Tyler.
Lord V2 watches them closely- sees one Commando, then
another approaching toward Tyler.
LORD V2 (O.S.)
Twelve o’clock. Tall Commando.
TYLER BLACK
Has he seen me?
LORD V2
Not yet. Walk back past the store.
TYLER BLACK
Which store?
LORD V2
The one on your right.
Tyler turns around. Moving right. Tall Commando is passing
in the foreground, missing him.
Lord V2 is cutting close behind- he’s at a very fast pace.
77.
LORD V2
Straight down. Pet store.
Tyler is turning. Proceeding through the Paraders.
Lord V2 is now seeing Lord S77 and S93 looking. Tyler is
heading into their path.
LORD V2
Oh, shit. Stop. Turn around and go
back the way you came. Up ahead you
will see a decorated parade truck.
Get on its deck and play it cool
with the other paraders.
Lord V2 is seeing Tyler fulfilling the plot.
Tyler gets to the decorated parade truck. A hippie grabs his
hand. And he’s on the truck.
The truck is moving down the road slow- too slow that it is
easy for someone to spot Tyler.

That same scene- decorated truck- from Larry’s point of view
The Technicians are trying to spot Tyler through...
EXT. MAIN STREET -- NGANGA BOULEVARD -- DAY

Into the main parade street. The truck is on the move.
Tyler is looking at the sea of people marching down the
street.
TYLER BLACK
I think we’re clear.
LORD V2
Not yet. Wait for my direction.
One person start another parading song. People follow along,
expect for Tyler who’s playing around with his mouth again.
Tyler makes a look. A "I-can’t-take-it-anymore" look. He is
obviously tired of waiting for the directions from Lord V2.
Wouldn’t it just be easier if I turn my self to them?
TYLER BLACK
I’m getting off the truck.
78.
LORD V2
No, no, no. Stay on board.
But Tyler jumps out of the truck. CCTV CAMERAS turn- ZOOMING
IN ON TYLER.

Tyler’s face is on all screens.
TECHNICIAN #1
We got a visual on the subject.
Center mass point of the parade.
Larry is pacing.
LARRY NEALSON
Okay, watch him closely! We cannot
afford to lose him again!

They are watching Tyler on their screens too.
LORD S57
Target is now located at the main
street of Nganga Boulevard...

Lord S31 and Lord S68 are walking towards a four-storey
office building at Nganga Boulevard.
LORD S68
Copy that.
They change direction- heading now toward another building
across from the street that hosts the main parade.

Lord V2 realizes Tyler has been seen. He sees the Pentagon
Commandos starting to regroup...
LORD V2
Hide somewhere. Quick!
Tyler is moving fast down to the end of the street, only to
come face to face with-
79.
A LIVE ROCK CONCERT

LORD S1
What’s the status of the snipers?
LORD S57
They’ll be there soon, my lord.
LORD S1
Alright, I want him disabled now.
Get him out of the crowds and have
the snipers shoot him.
Lord S12 gives orders...
EXT. BUILDING -- NGANGA BOULEVARD -- DAY

Lord S31 and Lord S68 are entering a building. A voice
crackling in their earphones.
LORD S12 (V.O.)
Target moving towards the live rock
concert.
Lord S31 and Lord S68 through the door of an elevator. They
go to the top floor of the building. Out of the elevator.
They walk through a maze of corridors. They move up a
stairwell. On their way to the roof of the building.

Tyler is moving through crowds toward the podium.
LORD V2
Continue advancing forward...
LORD V2’S POV: Pentagon Commandos are coming from the south.
The Strongish Lords are approaching from the north. There is
no way Tyler is going to make at the podium without getting
caught by at least one of his two predators.
LORD V2
Change of plan. Stop there. I’m
coming to get you.
80.
EXT. ROOF ABOVE STREET -- DAY

POV THROUGH A LONG-RANGE SCOPE: Tyler as seen by the TWO-MAN
STRONGISH TEAM perched on a roof. As LORD S68 surveys Tyler,
his partner finishes assembling two technologically advanced
rifles, loading them with HEAVY BULLETS:
LORD S68
We have visual on the target.
Confirm ’go’ for rifle shot.
LORD S12 (V.O.)
You’re confirmed ’go’: disable the
target.

Larry searches for Tyler on the monitors.
LARRY NEALSON
Where’s he?
TECHNICIAN #1
We lost visual on the target, sir.
TECHNICIAN #2
Papa Zulu -- give us eyeballs on
the main street.

Tyler runs down. The Pentagon Commandos block his path. He
stares at them.

They watch as the feed from the street comes through.
VOICE (V.O.)
Are you getting a visual?
TECHNICIAN #2
We have the subject confirmed.
81.

Tyler can’t proceed forward. He turns back to see: Lord S77
and Lord S93 approaching.

Lord S31 and Lord S68 look at them below. And then they give
each other a look. An evil decision-making look.

They watch in the monitor: as Lord S77 and S93 emerge.
TECHNICIAN #2
Sir, they’re back again.
LARRY NEALSON
What do they want?
TECHNICIAN #2
They’re still after our target.
LARRY NEALSON
Okay, people, we now have two
subjects, Tyler and them.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Pentagon Commandos are shot down.
People panic.
It’s chaos. The police race through the busy street, their
walkies-talkies squawking.
Lord S77 and Lord S93 lose track of Tyler in the crowds.
Lord V2 is cutting the main street.

ON THE VIDEO MONITORS - Image transmitted from the Commandos
helmet cameras. They have fallen, so this is at ground level
LARRY NEALSON
What just happened?
82.
TECHNICIAN #2
Our eyes are down on the ground.
TECHNICIAN #1
Our men are down.
TECHNICIAN #2
Searching a CCTV camera visual.
EXT. ROOF ABOVE STREET -- CONTINUOUS

Our snipers catch a glimpse of Tyler in the crowds- they’re
ready to finally do their task: disable Tyler.
Lord V2 sprints out from the side.
SCOPE POV
Lord S68 sees Tyler in the crowds- it’s clear for a shot.

Lord S68 fires.

Lord V2 jumps in- pushes Tyler to the ground. An innocent
man is hit.
Lord V2 and Tyler duck behind the gathering crowd, out of
the snipers’ line of sight.
LORD V2
How many times have I save your
life?
TYLER BLACK
You never had to.
Lord S77 and Lord S93 finally spot Tyler and Lord V2 again.
The good guys run. The bad guys chase after them.

Larry and everyone else stare at the screen. At the image of
Pentagon Commandos, dead on the street. The room- normally
full of chatter has gone dead silent...
The Naval Attache walks in.
83.
NAVAL ATTACHE
Sir, the Black Hippies from the
parade are at Nguizanie substation
and they just took lie detector
tests.
(a beat)
No blips, no blood pressure
variations, no pulse variance.
Either they’re telling the truth or
I’ve never met anyone like ’em.
(a beat)
In my opinion, these kids are
really telling the truth. They are
not part of the strongish kingdom
and certainly know nothing about
the missing nuclear bomb, sir.
Larry puts his head in his hands. This is a terrible failure
and everyone here knows it. He just had four of his men
killed and picked up wrong suspects...
TECHNICIAN #2
I have the President calling from
Air Force One.
LARRY NEALSON
(looks around)
Everyone agrees for a standard
counterbalance.
No one dissents. Larry picks up:
LARRY NEALSON
Mr. President, we’ve lost track of
the suspect. Four of my men were
shot and killed. We are not going
to make it on time. Everyone here
at the department agrees that we
move to our secondary initiative.
THE PRESIDENT (V.O.)
I approve. But don’t screw it up.
We won’t get another chance like
this, Larry.
LARRY NEALSON
Understood.
(hangs up)
Contact the Air Force. Have them
prepare the Plutonium Neutralizing
Gases. Tell the Major of Nguizanie
City to start an evacuation just in
case if we... screw it up.
84.

Lord S1 and everyone else stare at the screen. At the image
of an ambulance bagging the dead Pentagon Commandos.
LORD S1
We must kill the Varyish Lords.
They pose a threat to our plans.
Prepare our best Gunners S12.
LORD S12
Yes my lord.
EXT. FAR FROM THE MAIN STREET -- NGANGA BOULEVARD -- DAY

There is a lemon green MERCEDES convertible parked on a curb
Tyler is still trying to figure out whether or not they’re
safe now as Lord V2 tosses him the keys.
LORD V2
Drive!
TYLER BLACK
What?!
But Lord V2 just leaps into the passenger seat, reaches over
and grabs a shotgun, as Tyler gets in behind the wheel.
Just then, the blue garbage truck we saw earlier rips around
the corner, hitting everything on its path.
Tyler turns the ignition, pops the clutch, and steps the gas
pedal as the car nearly snaps his neck when it goes forward.
He races through small crowds and rips around a corner and
out into traffic.
TYLER BLACK
Where to?
LORD V2
Just drive!
The Garbage truck stays behind them; Lord S77 drives and
Lord S93 fires his shotgun at them. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lord V2 does his best to send bullets back their way, while
Tyler is on the wheel, stunned by the shooting sequence.
85.
LORD V2
Take us to the highway!
He spots a highway entrance...
TYLER BLACK
Hold on!
Screech! He quickly peels into the highway...
We catch a glimpse of a road sign that reads "WRONG WAY."
EXT. ONE WAY HIGHWAY -- DAY

...and ends up going the wrong way down a wide two lanes
highway.
He now has to drive in and out of cars heading south for
them, as the Garbage truck stays tight behind them.
Horns are blaring in his face, and Tyler barely can keep the
Mercedes on all four tires as he weaves in and out of the
paths of oncoming cars.
A Gasoline Truck is heading like a jet right at them...
Tyler’s eyes go wide.
TYLER BLACK
Truck!
LORD V2
Ah, shit! Let me take the wheel!
They exchange seats.
Lord V2 looks at a Ramp Truck on the other lane next to the
gasoline truck for a moment. A plan is formed.
LORD V2
Ramp truck! Shoot the tires!
Tyler looks at Lord V2, momentarily stunned by his idea,
then aims and fires away at the oncoming ramp truck.
The front tires on the truck explode and the truck veers
hard left, now is between the gasoline truck and them.
The gasoline truck ramps up and it bounces off the head of
the ramp truck and flies up in the air.
Lord V2 speeds the Mercedes at the gasoline truck as it
flips forward end over end... right over their car!!!
86.
Tyler watches it fly over them, as Lord V2 steps halfway out

of the car’s window with a shotgun, aims at the gasoline.
He watches it for a quiet moment as it descends towards the
garbage truck that’s been trailing them... he fires away!!!
The garbage truck spins to a halt and tries to slides out...
but it’s too late... the gasoline truck EXPLODES just as it
smashes onto the garbage truck. It’s a mess in the highway.
Lord V2 returns into the car and rips the Mercedes off the
wrong way road with a U-turn, exits down into a street.
Lord V2 looks over at Tyler, who looks impressed.
EXT. HILL FOREST -- NIGHT

They walk through the maze of trees and rocks to reach the
valley of the forest. It’s near the coast of the Atlantic
ocean. They stop at a SEWER covered mostly with moss-draped
branches. Lord V2 looks around. The city behind. The dark
sea out in front. A platform on a side. Not a human sign, no
life at all. Lord V2 opens the RUSTY SEWER TOP. Step inside.
INT. SEWER -- CONTINUOUS

Lord V2 is calm. Tyler FUMBLES in the dark- knocks his head.
They walk toward a WASTE DELTA, stops at a DOOR. Lord V2
unlocks it. It’s a small elevator. They step inside.
EXT. SMALL ELEVATOR -- CONTINUOUS

A HISS as the FLOOR LOWERS... They sink down into...
INT. VARYISH HEADQUARTERS -- LOBBY -- CONTINUOUS

The elevator floor lowers on a giant BRICK. They step off
into a big, UNDERGROUND BUILDING. It’s full of vegetation.
Trees branches attached everywhere on the walls. It’s green.
MISTED. FRESH STEAM COMING OUT OF THE ROOF. Tyler is amazed
by the look. The VARYISH LORDS constantly stare at Tyler as
he walks by. At one end, Lord V8, watches them approaching.
TYLER BLACK
What is this place?
LORD V8
Welcome to the headquarters of the
Varyish Society.
87.
LORD V2
I believe it’s useless for him to
fight the Strongish Lords alone. I
brought him here to train with us.
Take care of him, V8.
LORD V8
Will do, V2.
Lord V2 leaves.
LORD V8
I suggest you follow me.

Three ARMY GUARDS are at the front GUARDHOUSE. Colonel John
pulls in a HUMVEE. The Guards immediately recognize him.
ARMY GUARD #1
Colonel John, sir. What brings you
here at this time, sir?
COLONEL JOHN
The Air Force need the net now.
ARMY GUARD #1
Okay, sir.
The army Guard waves Colonel John in.
INT. BUNKER SECURITY BUILDING -- NIGHT

The army Guards escort Colonel John inside.

A LINE OF IDENTICAL ARMY TRUCKS head toward the front gate.
INT. BUNKER SECURITY BUILDING -- NIGHT

The army Guards and Colonel John stop at the security booth.
ARMY GUARD #1
Why do the Air Force need the net?
COLONEL JOHN
Terrorists stole the warhead and
plan to launch it. What’s worst is
the fact that I am one of them-
88.
Just then, Colonel John shoots them all. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
He takes up their CODED CARDS. He hits the FRONT GATE’S OPEN
BUZZER and walks out of the bunker security building.
INT. ARMY WEAPON COMPOUND -- FRONT GATE -- NIGHT

The gate swings open. The army trucks enter the compound.
EXT. BUNKER COMPOUND -- WATCH TOWER -- NIGHT

Three ARMY GUARDS at the bunker compound’s elevated watch
tower observe the trucks pass through the front gate and
park in the courtyard. A dozen Strongish Lords armed with
assault riffles precipitate out of the trucks.
The army Guards react when Lord S42 aims a bazooka at the
watch tower- BOOM! The watch tower erupts in an explosion.
The army Guards fall the long height and lie unconscious.
INT. BUNKER COMPOUND -- NIGHT

Colonel John (a.k.a. Lord S2) and the Strongish Lords move
to the bunker door. They open the door by jamming the army
Guards’ coded cards in and out of the electronic reader.
INT. CHEMICAL WEAPONS COMPOUND -- INTERIOR HALLWAY -- NIGHT

The Strongish Lords rush down the interior hallway into a
storage depot. They see the P.N. GAS and lots of missiles.
The Strongish Lords move the P.N. GAS storage tubes and the
missiles to the waiting army trucks. It’s done very fast.
EXT. ARMY WEAPON COMPOUND - - FRONT GATE -- NIGHT

The army trucks, followed by Colonel John (Lord S2) in his
Humvee, roar out of the compound.

Larry, Paul, Ben, and Jade are in the room. They look sadly
in regret. One of those time where there is no hope left.
BEN STONE
Wow. Colonel John is one of them.
89.
GENERAL PAUL
He betrayed the United States.
BEN STONE
It’s over...
LARRY NEALSON
We’ve still got one day to catch
Tyler and bring him to them.
GENERAL PAUL
If the boy still out there, it’s
not over.
BEN STONE
But, where do we find him?
GENERAL PAUL
What we need is someone to help us
capture him. Someone close to him.
We focus on Larry, who trades a very significant look with
Colonel Jade. Everyone turns to Colonel Jade.
COLONEL JADE
There is someone who can help us.
I’ve found one known anomaly.
INT. CAPTAIN RICHARD’S OFFICE -- POLICE STATION -- DAY

CAPTAIN RICHARD (50s) and Colonel Jade are in the office.
Sydney walks in, stressed out. She worries about Tyler.
SYDNEY PITT
You wanted to see me.
CAPTAIN RICHARD
Sydney, this is Colonel Jade.
Colonel, this is Sydney Pitt.
COLONEL JADE
Hello Sydney. I was informed that
you are a friend of Tyler Black.
SYDNEY PITT
Yeah, he’s my boyfriend.
COLONEL JADE
Even better. You’re going to help
us, Ms. Pitt.
90.
SYDNEY PITT
What do I have to do?

A lemon green helicopter appears and lands on a platform in
the isolated forest. Lord V1 steps off out of the craft. He
approaches Lord V2 nearby.
LORD V1
You have the boy?
LORD V2
He’s in the pit.
Lord V1 and Lord V2 walk toward the rusty sewer. A dozen of
VARYISH LORDS gather around the sewer. Securing the area.
LORD V2
I had men secure the perimeter just
in case.
LORD V1
Good. We can’t take any chances.
They step inside the rusty sewer.
INT. VARYISH HEADQUARTERS -- LOBBY -- NIGHT

Lord V1 leads Lord V2 into a cubicle. They stand at a window
and observe:

Tyler and Lord V8 stand at the dojo.
LORD V8
The pit of warriors.
Tyler looks around, he’s been here before.
LORD V1
This is a training dojo built for
fighters who during combats can
change into oversize creatures
which in our case are... Gorillas.
(a beat)
You need to get used to the speed
and the strength and the jump and
most importantly what a gorillaman
can do to fight another of a kind.
91.
INT. VARYISH HEADQUARTERS -- CUBICLE -- NIGHT

Lord V2 looks happy, smiling. While Lord V1 is the opposite.
LORD V2
We’ve done it, V1. We found him.
LORD V1
I hope you’re right.
LORD V2
I don’t have to hope it. I know it.
LORD V1
How can you be certain she’ll be
useful to us?
LORD V2
His victory against the Strongish
Lords is our victory too over our
sworn enemies.

LORD V8
Remember, it’s you controlling your
powers and not the other way around
because physical powers without an
absolute control means nothing.
Tyler nods, half excited, half scared.
LORD V8
Okay, we’ll start from the top. To
transform into a gorilla, you need
to yell the word ’Varyish’ as loud
as you can while in motion.
FLASH - STREET:
...we smash cut to a fight between a STRONGISH and Lord V8
just as Lord V8 charges after him and performs the exact
same action he was just telling. Just as quickly, we...
FLASH - BACK TO THE DOJO A.K.A. THE PIT OF WARRIORS:
...and Lord V8 tells the next action...
LORD V8
To become excessively strong like
the Strongish, first breathe in to
increase the level of oxygen in
(MORE)
92.
LORD V8 (cont’d)
your blood cells, then breathe out
as you yell the word ’Strongish’ as
loud as you can while flexing your
muscles.
Just as Lord V8 flexes his muscles, we smash cut to...
FLASH - A FACTOR:
...Lord V8 charging at a STRONGISH LORD. Suddenly the S-lord
is ready, performing what Lord V8 just described, then it
became the worst day of Lord V8’s life, and just as quickly-
...we are right back to the scene as Lord V8 performs the
next action...
LORD V8
If you want the super speed like
the Speedish, stand strong on your
toes and run as fast as you can as
you yell the word ’Speedish’ as
loud as you can, then follow the
momentum.
Just like before, we smash cut to...
FLASH - RAIN FOREST:
...Lord V8 running down a rain forest, darting through the
trees, when suddenly, a SPEEDISH LORD far behind him, stand
strong on his toes and run as fast as he can as he yells the
word ’Speedish’ as loud as he can and then WHAM, he speeds,
follows the momentum, catches up with Lord V8, the all thing
matching the action Lord V8 was just telling.
...and Lord V8 tells the final move...
LORD V8
Finally to jump into locations,
first think of the place you want
to go, then concentrate and see
yourself there and yell the word
’Jumpish’ as loud as you can.
FLASH - PARKING GARAGE
...we smash cut to Lord V8 barreling down a circular exit
ramp in a van. A JUMPISH LORD climbs up to the edge of the
93.
ten-story corkscrew ramp and stands there, waiting for

something. After a moment he JUMPS- and falls- ten stories-
He’s about to hit the exit ramp- the van appears- he SLAMS
into the roof, CRUSHING the cab.
...we’re back to find Tyler completely absorbed in the
lesson. Then there is a switch of roles. Lord V8 listens.
Tyler speaks as he starts to retell the technique to get
each power, wanting to please Lord V8, wanting to get it
right...

The Varyish Lords idly secure the perimeter. Some stand near
the rusty sewer. The sound of an unseen craft... They perk
up their ears as the noise grows louder and louder.
They reach for their guns and desperately scan the skies.
There is no sign of a helicopter in the black sky above.
The sound of the unseen helicopter grows to a deafening
volume. Suddenly, a black craft rises from the horizon of
the hill forest and hovers in front of the Varyish Lords.
It’s a war machine. Two automatic machine guns and two small
missiles are mounted on the craft’s undercarriage. A bright
spotlight is mounted on the front of the helicopter.
The Varyish Lords wince as they blinded by the spotlight.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The black craft opens fire.
BOOM! The lemon green helicopter erupts in an explosion.

Lord V1 and Lord V2 brace themselves as the whole building
shudders and the lights flicker.
LORD V1
They know he’s here.

BOOM! An explosion tears through the ceilings of the pit and
knocks Lord V8 and Tyler to the ground.
94.
LORD V2 (V.O.)
Red Alert! Secure the building!

Several Varyish Lords stand watch the small elevator lowers.
Ding! They look on as the set of elevator doors slide open.
BOOM! A large explosion emanates from inside the elevator.
The force of the blast overturns some furniture and knocks
everyone in the misted room to the floor.

Lord V8 is badly wounded. He has bruises and broken bones.
LORD V8
Get out of here! Now!
Tyler stands up and searches for an escape route.

The Strongish Lords descend via the elevator tunnel and lob
several concussion bombs into the misted room.

Tyler runs toward the exit door of the pit. Just then-
BOOM! An explosion tears through the door and knocks him to
the ground.
Four Strongish Lords, dressed in hippie outfits, the black
sunglasses, the earphones in one ear, and armed with assault
rifles, flood into the dojo.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The Strongish Lords swiftly gun down the
Varyish Lords in the misted room.
95.

Lord V1 and Lord V2 hurl themselves against the large window

Crash! They smash through the windows. They land on the
ground and roll up fast, guns ready.
They begin a shootout with the four Strongish Lords. They
kill them all.
LORD V1
Get the boy out of here!
Lord V2 picks Tyler, who scrambles to his feet. They stay
low to the ground and head for a nearby escape room.
More Strongish Lords flood into the dojo. Lord V1 shoot at
them, preventing them from shooting at Tyler, who is helped
by Lord V2.
INT. VARYISH HEADQUARTERS -- THE ESCAPE ROOM -- NIGHT

Lord V2 and Tyler enter the room and Lord V2 slams the door.
He grabs a desk and hurls it against a large window.
EXT. VARYISH HEADQUARTERS -- NIGHT

The exterior of the headquarters is quiet and abandoned. The
underground Varyish headquarters connects into a large and
empty road. Crash! The desk smashes through the window.
INT. VARYISH HEADQUARTERS -- THE ESCAPE ROOM -- NIGHT

LORD V2
Go without me.
TYLER BLACK
Wait. What about you?
LORD V2
I’m staying. This is where I
belong. I have to help them.
(a beat)
Remember who you are, Tyler.
96.
EXT. VARYISH HEADQUARTERS -- NIGHT

Tyler jumps through the broken window and lands in some
nearby bushes. He staggers to his feet and scurries away
from the Varyish Headquarters.

Lord V1, now backed by a dozen of Varyish Lords, continues
the shootout with the Strongish Lords. Lord V1 is wounded by
a bullet while some of his man are gunned down.
The Strongish Lords finally overwhelm and slaughter the rest
of Varyish Lords. Lord S1 signals his men to cease fire.
Pained moans echo throughout the dojo. Lord S1 finds Lord V1
and glares down at him.
LORD S1
Where is him?
LORD V1
You’re... You’re too late. He’s
gone.
Lord S1 reaches for his Glock. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Lord V2 on a corner, unseen by the Strongish Lords, turns
away as Lord S1 empties his Glock into Lord V1’s body.
EXT. CITY STREET -- NIGHT

It is just beyond the middle of the night; that time when it
seems there are no rules and everything feels unsafe. Tyler
walks quickly, watching his surroundings, making sure no one
is following him. Rain pours from a black sky.
As he reaches the Vasco-Pila bridge, headlights creep in
behind him. He turns just as the car slides quickly to a
stop beside him. The door window rolls down.
JACOB
Come on. Get in.
Tyler opens the front door. He gets in.
97.
INT. CAR TRAVELING -- NIGHT

Jacob is driving. Wipers working against the windshield. A
long look between them.
JACOB
You don’t owe me an explanation.
JACOB
Where are you going?
TYLER BLACK
Vasco. I’m going to see my girl.
INT. SYDNEY’S HOUSE -- NIGHT

Sydney walks into the house. She’s holding a pen. Not just
any kind of pen. It’s a technologically advanced alert pen.
SYDNEY PITT
(to herself)
Where is my phone?
She then walks to the bedroom. She finds the phone next to
the office table. She takes it and checks the screen: "one
voice mail from Tyler." As she listens to it, a small noise
from the livingroom grabs her attention. She walks prudently
toward the livingroom.
As she reaches the livingroom, a dull of ROAR of THUNDER
shakes the house at the same moment wind blows in behind
her, scaring her a bit. She turns and sees the window is
opened. She walks toward it and shuts it.
She turns just as a shadow emerges quickly in front of her.
Tyler, wet and cold.
She SCREAMS.
TYLER BLACK
It’s me. Tyler. Tyler.
She starts to take a deep, everything-is-okay breath.
TYLER BLACK
Are you okay?
SYDNEY PITT
Yeah, I’m fine. What are you doing
here?
98.
TYLER BLACK
I want to stay with you until this
is over.
SYDNEY PITT
Listen Tyler, I-
TYLER BLACK
It’s for your own protection,
Sydney. I care about you and I know
your life is in danger. I’m
worrying sick about you-
SYDNEY PITT
You don’t have to wo-
TYLER BLACK
Sydney, please... The Strongish
killed Jeniffer- and shot Jason.
They’re going to kill you, Sydney-
and I won’t let that happened.
SYDNEY PITT
So you’ll turn yourself in now.
He shakes his head. She looks at him. She cannot help him.
SYDNEY PITT
You have no choice.
TYLER BLACK
You honestly think it’s going to
stop them from launching the
nuclear bomb?
SYDNEY PITT
Perhaps not. But you’ve got enough
blood on your hands. You rather not
see more people in the city die
because of you again.
Tyler looks at her a beat.
SYDNEY PITT
Once all of this is finished, we’d
be together...
Sydney moves toward him.
SYDNEY PITT
I mean it.
Sydney takes his on her arms.
99.
TYLER BLACK
You’ll always be mine.
They kiss. She TICKS the pen. Then separate. She looks sadly
into his eyes.
SYDNEY PITT
I love you...
(beat)
But I had to do this to save the
lives of the innocent people of
this city.
Tyler look at Sydney a beat. He’s confused.
TYLER BLACK
You had to do what?
Just then, the door is violently kicked in. FIVE COMMANDOS
pour inside, guns thrust before them. They are wearing
earpieces. The leader pans his cam at Tyler: no speaking.
INT. PENTAGON -- JOINT OPERATIONS CENTER -- NIGHT

Colonel Jade, Military Brass, and overnight TECHNICIANS
watch the feed from the cam on the leader of the 5-man team
at the house.
TECHNICIAN #3
Target confirmed.
EXT. SYDNEY’S HOUSE -- NIGHT

COLONEL JADE (V.O.)
Take him.
Just then, Tyler bolts. He runs through the back door...
THE LEADER
Get him. Target is on the move.
...and IT’S ON. The chase begins.
EXT. CHASE THROUGH THE CITY -- HEAVY RAIN

Streets, alleys and rooftops of the city at night. Late
night crowds of drinkers and people in the streets.
We cut between Tyler and the Commandos: Tyler is at a dead
run and the Commandos in a flat-out foot chase. He makes
100.
four hard turns into the back alleys. Commandos break up

with hand signals. They try to figure which way to turn in
the alleys. Tyler is upon to a dumpster, up onto a tin
fence, and bursts toward an old hotel.
EXT. OLD HOTEL -- NIGHT

The building is an old, grand, four-story gone the seed. It
looks abandoned. It is connected to a row of houses on one
side and another row on the other side. They also look
abandoned too. The alley is a bit flooded with rain water.
One of the commandos sees Tyler entering the building...
INT. OLD HOTEL -- NIGHT

Tyler is inside. The area downstairs is complete flooded. He
runs up the staircase to a 2nd floor.
There we see damaged rooms. There are patterns of permanent
shadow on the walls and ceiling, the aftermath of a fire.
Commandos follow up the staircase. Tyler runs up to the next
floor. They keep up. Up to the next and next. Tyler hides
somewhere in a room at the top floor.
We follow Commandos using flashlights of their weapons as
they creep down the blackened hall. They violently kicks in
the doors on this top floor. Check to find the target.
As they get near the room Tyler is hidden, he bursts out of
the room. He races to the opposite end, existing through a
broken window onto the fire escape.
EXT. ROOF -- NIGHT

On the roof, Tyler is running as the leader rise over the
parapet, leading the team in pursuit.
Tyler sees a gap between roofs. He can’t make it unless he
jumps high in the air. He recalls the ’Jumpish’ technique.
He focus on the next roof, concentrate, and yells as loud as
he can the word "Jumpish." Suddenly --
Tyler jumps up into the air...but suddenly falls away into a
wide back alley. Commandos look for a better way to get down
from the roof.
He rounds a corner and runs right into Crick Joe, Sydney’s
ex-boyfriend, and his two Pals. They’re drugged and seeking
to fight nobody better could have showed up.
101.
No chi-chat -- Crick curses and throws a wild swing.

Tyler dodges it. He makes quick moves then runs toward an
abandoned house. Crick and his Buddies scramble after him.
INT. ABANDONED HOUSE -- KITCHEN -- NIGHT

Tyler is back against a wall inside the dimly lit kitchen of
the abandoned house. Taking a little rest. We hear a drip of
water in the sink. He reacts to it. Then calms himself down.
INT. ABANDONED HOUSE -- BASEMENT -- NIGHT

Tyler creeps through this, stopping to listen. Hears the
whispers of the three Punks, actively following.
Moving through the cluttered basement, almost to the far
side now. There is a door- he moves to it. Presses slightly
and it opens it to slide out into --
Crick smiling. He pushes Tyler back inside furiously. Tyler
turns to race back into the basement but the other Punks
have come up behind him- and now they are all around him,
pushing and booting him back inside and up against a wall in
the dark.
TYLER BLACK
I’m being followed...let me go.
Crick pushes him against a metal column near the middle of
the basement. A tough shove and Tyler hits his head into a
knob and he yells out in pain. The Commandos are coming
through the kitchen and the living area of the house hear
the cry of pain. The leader hand signals- they peel apart.
Tyler is pinned against the column by two Punks holding him.
TYLER BLACK
Stop. Please stop.
CRICK JOE
You never stop talking to my girl.
And why should I, huh?
Tyler sees to the right beyond the men holding him. A black
shape moves through dim light in a crouch. Tyler reacts and
panics.
TYLER BLACK
Let me go! You don’t understand.
I’m being chased here.
102.
CRICK JOE
Yeah, we were awhile ago.
UNDER BLUE NIGHT VISION
The Leader finds Tyler’s face, sighting on his neck. Tyler
lunges, pulling the men holding him- Crick punches Tyler in
the gut. The Leader fires- one of Crick’s Buddies is hit.
Tyler nervously glances around, sweat rolls down his face
and neck. Steam-like sweat in his forehead...
The leader sees a cluster of people, one crumpling, and one
falling and suddenly-
STEAMING. MASSIVE STEAM CLOUDS BUILD AND BUILD...
The leader is like ’what the hell is this?’ Signals ’hold’.
The Punks are turning, all stepping away from Tyler crumpled
invisible down in the steam out into floor to investigate,
two looking at their friend on the ground starting to freak.
CRICK JOE
What the hell...?
Commandos in the steam are trying to get a fix on what’s
happening they hear- Colonel Jade on the com in their ears-
COLONEL JADE (V.O.)
Is target seized? Did we get him?
Commandos steps forward. They see two figures on the floor.
the downed Punk, but the other one is hard to see- it’s very
steamed- something is happening to that one figure and
obscure behind the other figures etched in black-
THE SHAPE OF THE FIGURE ON THE GROUND IS CHANGING
Then- Tyler’s groan in the steam, turns into a horrible deep
sound- with it the sound of tearing and popping and cracking
Crick is just on the edge of steam and clear, eyes narrowing
something weird is going on but he can’t read it-
He throws a punch into the steam- and it’s the worst day of
his life. His fist meets something hard and faster than you
can blink he is gone. Ripped upward by the arm and into the
steam- his terrified scream drowned by-
A ROAR OF A GORILLA. PRIMAL. Not human.
103.
We hear sound of bone cracking and Crick’s terrified scream

of pain and then- he flies out of the steam, from a height
of 15 feet and rising as he goes- thrown across the basement
like a weightless object, hitting the far wall head first so
hard that you hope he did not survive.
The roar is fading- a strange beat of silence, as each face
tries to grasp the impossible. Finally-
AN ENORMOUS GORILLA-LIKE CREATURE EMERGES- THE APEGORIMAN
What happens next is chaos. The Apegoriman reaches out after
the Commandos- and it’s their worst nightmares. He kills
them all savagely... and then he’s gone.
INT. SYDNEY’S BEDROOM -- NIGHT

A dozen of Strongish Lords break into the house and kidnap
Sydney in her bedroom. It went quick and clean.
INT. TYLER’S APARTMENT -- NIGHT

Tyler, back to normal, is on the bed.
The CELLPHONE RINGS.
It almost stops his heart. It continues RINGING. He gets out
of bed. He answers it, saying nothing.
LORD S1 (V.O.)
I’ll be brief. I kidnapped two of
your friends: Jason and Sydney. If
you gave any concern for the lives
of your friends and the people of
Nguizanie, you will order yourself
to give in and have us take all of
your blood and bone marrow cells.
TYLER BLACK
You know goddamn well that I won’t
give my blood nor my bone marrow
cells to you.
LORD S1 (V.O.)
Don’t do anything stupid. No one
else has to die here besides you.
TYLER BLACK
You want my powers for the wrong
reasons.
104.
LORD S1 (V.O.)
Like all great powers. Some want it
for good. Others for evil. We get
to chose our own path and I have
chosen mine. The evil side.
TYLER BLACK
I believe in the prophecy. I shall
endure. I’ll take it. You’ll hate
me for it, but that’s the point of
the Apegoriman. He can be outcast.
He can make the choice no one else
can face. Always the right choice.
LORD S1 (V.O.)
If you don’t turn yourself in, a
lot more people are going to die. I
have no mercy on the citizens of
this city... I proclaim a war...
Lord S1 hangs up. Tyler just sits there and thinks a beat.
INT. VASCO BOROUGH -- NGUIZANIE CITY -- SUNRISE

The sun rises over the Vasco-Pila Bridge.
EXT. AIR FORCE ONE -- SKIES OVER OCEAN -- DAY

AIR FORCE ONE flies through the cloudy sky.
PRESIDENT (V.O.)
Larry, I can’t get this thing that
you’re trying to tell me...
INT. PENTAGON -- JOINT OPERATIONS CENTER -- NIGHT

In hub of computers and tracking equipment, we find Larry
watching the President on a series of video screens.
LARRY NEALSON
Mr. President, what is it that you
don’t understand, sir?
PRESIDENT (V.O.)
How can we lose weapons in a
heavily guarded facility?
LARRY NEALSON
Last night Air Force Colonel John
and a dozen of Strongish terrorist
(MORE)
105.
LARRY NEALSON (cont’d)

under the guise of a demand from
the Air Force, walked off with all
P.N. Gas rockets and lots of other
missiles. It was not discovered
until the Air Force really sent men
to go get the net.
PRESIDENT (V.O.)
Oh, my God. What do we do now?
LARRY NEALSON
We attempted to find the boy again
but it failed. Now we’ve reached
the deadline. There’s nothing else
we can do other than just waiting
for an act of God, sir.
PRESIDENT (V.O.)
Let’s wait and see what happens.
EXT. AIR FORCE ONE -- SKIES OVER OCEAN -- DAY

Horrifying rockets sounds. Missiles assault the F-16s that
guard around the Air Force One. One by one they explode.
Massive flames in the cloudy sky.
One exploding F-16, fire on its tail, flies right in front
of Air Force One.
INT. AIR FORCE ONE TRAVELING -- DAY

PILOT #1
"What the hell was that?"
EXT. AIR FORCE ONE -- SKIES -- DAY

Missiles shred the Air Force One’s United States of America
logo, peeling the plane down to her ribs. Fiery explosion.

Monitors go dead.
TECHNICIAN #1
All systems crashing!
106.
TECHNICIAN #2
Massive crash. We lost the Air
Force One.
The OPERATIONS CENTER chatter about the explosion’s source.
COLONEL JADE
Play that video again!
The crash video replays on a series of video screens. We cut
around the room.
COLONEL JADE
What the hell was that?
TECHNICIAN #1
Engine failure?
TECHNICIAN #2
Negative. It showed all four F-16s
around the Air Force One exploded.
NAVAL ATTACHE
The press is going to want answers
What are we going to say?
COLONEL JADE
Nothing. Not until we know what
happened.
INT. N.O.R.A.D. -- CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN

The U.S.’s Early Warning Air Defense. Two U.S.A.F RADAR
TECHNICIANS are hunched over radar screens.
RADAR TECHNICIAN #1
I got one, two, three boggies...
They are all over the space...!
Heading toward Nguizanie City...!
The RADAR TECHNICIAN #2 sends the information to Pentagon.
EXT. VASCO BOROUGH -- NGUIZANIE CITY -- DAY

Busy street. People everywhere. Traffic is ground to a halt.
Missiles (bombs) scream through the sky and blast through

two huge skyscrapers. It looks like 9/11 all over again.
More bombs explode in the street. Cars are thrown everywhere
and lowland buildings are blasted. People flee in panic.
107.
Another bomb blasts through a huge building. The entire top

ten stories falls, hits the street below. Bricks everywhere.
EXT. PENTAGON -- DAY

We stare at the Pentagon, over which we hear RINGING PHONES.
EXT. PENTAGON -- JOINT OPERATIONS CENTER-- DAY

Chaos in the corridors. Colonel Jade bursts out of the Joint
Operations Center. He rushes toward Larry’s office.
INT. PENTAGON -- LARRY’S OFFICE -- DAY

Colonel Jade walks in, troubled.
COLONEL JADE
Sir, it’s an inland attack. More
than five missiles hit Nguizanie
City... I think the Strongish
terrorists called a war on us, sir
Dolly in on Larry’s face. Utter disbelief.
LARRY NEALSON
We have to brief the city’s Major.
INT. CITY HALL -- MAYOR WEST’S OFFICE -- NIGHT

MAJOR WEST (60s), Larry, and Colonel Jade sit in the office.
COLONEL JADE
They all reside in a guarded island
beyond the Vasco-Pila bridge. There
are no safe entrances.
LARRY NEALSON
But there is a kid named Tyler that
they seek. If they possess him, we
will certainly get a tentative deal
MAYOR WEST
Why are you telling me this?
LARRY NEALSON
Because they’ll keep destroying the
city until he surrenders himself to
them... It’s a war with desires.
108.
MAYOR WEST
Why do they want the kid?
COLONEL JADE
They said it’s a classified info.
LARRY NEALSON
All we know is that he is far more
than a mere legend. He holds great
powers...Now, he hides somewhere in
the city, but it is important that
we get me quickly. He will be doing
the entire country a great service.
MAYOR WEST
I’m not interested in the country.
Only in my city... Could we just
attack them?
COLONEL JADE
If we attack them, they’ll launch
the nuclear bomb and the whole city
will be whipped out.
MAJOR WEST
Oh, my God... We need to evacuate
the city or lots of people’ll die.
COLONEL JADE
You evacuate here. They launch the
nuke into another populous city...
We have to stop their whole plot.
MAJOR WEST
How?
LARRY NEALSON
You’re going to call a press
conference. Tomorrow morning.
MAJOR WEST
Why?
LARRY NEALSON
No else will die because of Tyler.
Order him to give himself in.
MAJOR WEST
He won’t. He won’t give in.
COLONEL JADE
We are hoping he will this time.
109.
INT. PRESS ROOM, SUPERIOR -- DAY

A large crowd of Reporters and Public. Major West is on the
podium. Behind him is the Air Force Colonel Jade. Lord V2
sits in the crowd. There is no sign of Tyler in the crowd.
MAJOR WEST
Citizens of Nguizanie, thank you
for coming. I’ve called this press
conference for one reason. A man
named Tyler Black also known as
"The Wise Man" is thereby ordered
by the United States government to
turn himself in to the terrorists-
The Crowd reacts with appreciative noise.
LORD V2
Excuse me, Mr. Mayor. I have a
question I’d like to ask... What do
you think will happen if he turn
himself in- and, and they get
whatever they want from him?
MAYOR WEST
We may never know.
LORD V2
Perhaps.
(a beat)
Perhaps not.
The crowd murmur-
LORD V2
You see, I am in one of those
kingdoms...fraternities, like
theirs, that holds one of the four
lost souls name Varyish Kingdom.
(a beat)
We’ve been in a war against the
Strongish Lords or terrorists as
you call them for many years. The
war is going on until today. As we
fought for years, they never were
able to defeat our kingdom.
(a beat)
There are four lost souls or powers
for your inconvenience, that
compose the four kingdoms. The only
way to destroy one of these four
Societies is by gaining the power
of the Apegoriman who has all of
the four powers.
110.
(a beat)
Tyler Black is the Apegoriman. The
S-Lords want his powers to destroy
my kingdom and take over the whole
country. They’ll then conquer the
entire world thereafter.
(a beat)
Let’s consider the situation...
Should we really give in to the
terrorists’ demand?
MAJOR WEST
You’d rather protect one man than
the lives of the innocent citizens
The crowd noisily assents. Lord V2 calmly motions quiet.
LORD V2
But, Ladies and Gentlemen, you’ll
lose your freedom once they kill
Tyler Black. He is the only man on
Earth who can put a stop to this.
The only chance we’ve got. Our last
hope, Ladies and Gentlemen.
The crowd seems moved by his words, then, a SHOUT-
COLONEL JADE
What if he doesn’t?
The crowd reacts with appreciative noise.
LORD V2
He will. That’s a certainty. He’ll
battle for our lives. That’s the
point of the Wise Man. He always
protect those around him. And you
are the ones he cares most about.
Once again, the crowd seems moved by his words.
INT. STRONGISH -- COMMAND CENTER -- DAY

Strongish Lords (Techies) are hunched over radar screens.
Lord S1, S12 and a dozen of Strongish Lords look on nearby.
LORD S57
Think we have a visitor. I got one
boggy heading very fast toward us.
111.
LORD S12
Maybe the Air Force send a flight.
LORD S1
The Air Force would never send one
flight on situation like this.
LORD S12
Varyish Lords don’t fly or jump.
What could it be?
LORD S1
It’s him. Get to the east end of
the island on the double. The
Apegoriman is approaching.
LORD S12
You heard the man, let’s move it.
Lord S12 and other Strongish Lords race off.
EXT. STRONGISH ISLAND -- DAY

Tyler, changed into a gorilla-like creature (the Apegoriman)
solidly lands on the Strongish Island. The land trembles.
INT. STRONGISH -- GARAGE -- DAY

The Strongish Lords open fire. Bullets bounce off the Wise
Man’s chest. He keeps advancing forward. They are firing
their guns randomly at the oncoming Wise Man. He gets there,
savagely kills them all. A roaring rage and men screaming.
A few S-Lords standing at a catwalk aim for the head shot.
They open fire. The Apegoriman raise his arm in front of
them, blocking the stream of streaking bullets. A few
bullets hit a steam water container nearby. Massive steam
clouds build and build. The Apegoriman is veiled by the
steam. We can’t see him no longer. They are out of bullets.
They load new shells into their guns without taking their
eyes off the Apegoriman in the steam. Then they freeze...
The arm raised to block their shots, drops, and the Wise Man
steps out of the steam.
The Apegoriman bends down into the steam and with a mighty
heave, lifts a pickup truck nearby, throws it through the
air like a weightless object at these Strongish Lords.
They dip as it breaks the catwalk where they were just
standing... caving in it to some degree and letting them
remain suspending on for their lives above the garage floor.
112.
Just then another car comes through the air like a missile.
It crushes down the catwalk this time and these Strongish
Lords fall 20 feet and lie unconscious.
Lord S1 emerges with Sydney from an adjacent room, with a
gun pointed on Sydney’s head. The Apegoriman reacts- roars.
LORD S1
Obviously, I don’t want you doing
anything too pulsing other than
calming your heartbeats down.
WISEMAN
Let her go.
LORD S1
You want her. You do as I say...
More Strongish Lords, armed with technologically advanced
chemical weapons, move in behind the Apegoriman, stand at an
elevated position on another catwalk. Aim.
Sydney, duct tapped mouth, moans and fights signaling the
Wise Man of the enemies’ arrival behind him. Lord S1 holds
her tight. The Wise Man has not noticed what’s behind him.
LORD S1
If you want her, that’ll be NEVER!
Just then, the Strongish Lords open fire. Chemical shots
penetrate the Wise Man’s body like bee clusters attacking.
Neutralizing his powers. Reducing his size. He roars in pain
as he goes down, changing to normal. Now we see Tyler again.
Sydney cries, tears on her eyes. Lord S1 SHOVES HER too hard
with his abnormal strength and she is knocked five feet
before hitting the ground on her arm, crying out in pain.
Lord S1 then orders his men to lock her somewhere secure. He
finds Tyler, who is barely moving, and glares at him.
LORD S1
I finally got you.
INT. STRONGISH -- LABORATORY -- LATER

Lord S1 enter the lab along with Lord S2 and Lord S12. They
approach LORD S99, the scientist in a lab coat, nearby.
LORD S1
What are we doing?
113.
LORD S99
Well the chemical shots we gave him
reduce his blood amount. Now we do
not have much to rebuild our whole
army and we cannot risk blowing the
opportunity so we have to
concentrate it and grow more.
Lord S1’s jaw sets as he grinds his molars in frustration.
LORD S1
How long will it take?
LORD S99
Awhile.
LORD S1
Awhile, how long?
LORD S99
Days.
LORD S1
We do not have that much time. The
Varyish Lords that survived are
preparing for an attack. They know
we have him. They know he’s here.
What about the bone marrow?
LORD S99
I have already concentrated 15% of
it, which is sufficient enough for
the transformation of 3 people.
LORD S1
Inject us up.
Lord S99 hesitates a bit. Lord S1 questions his hesitation.
LORD S1
What?
LORD S99
You got your own natural born
power. I don’t know what kind of
Wise Man you’ll become after the
injection...could turn you into
something terrible.
LORD S1
Something terrible & more powerful
than the original. Now inject it!
114.
INT. STRONGISH -- COMMAND CENTER -- DAY

The Strongish Lords sit back and relax. They got the Wise
Man. The hard work is finished. Yeah? Not our diagnosis...
BOOM! An explosion rips out the windows of the building.
Flames and bricks rain in. The S-Lords dive for cover.
INT. STRONGISH -- LABORATORY -- DAY

RADIO SPEAKER ON THE WALL BLARING
LORD S57 (OVER RADIO)
Red Alert! We’re under attack! The
Varyish Lords! The U.S. Marines!
LORD S99
Oh no...
LORD S1
Hurry up goddammit!
EXT. STRONGISH -- HEADQUARTERS -- DAY

The Air Force secure the air. The Marines get off the ships
on shore. Lord V2 and Lord V19, the only survivors from the
Strongish Lords’ attack, lead the troops into the Island.
LORD V2
Priority number one: Find Tyler!
INT. STRONGISH -- HEADQUARTERS -- DAY

The Strongish Lords have taken position covering the lobby
of the building.
BOOM! A large explosion emanates from nearby. The force of
the blast overturns some furniture and knocks everyone in
the room to the floor.
The Marines flood into the lobby and begin the BIGGEST WAR
SHOOTOUT EVER. IT’S INTENSIVE. BOMBS BEING THROWN EVERYWHERE

Lord S99 rapidly finishes injecting Lord S1, S2 and S12 with
some of Tyler’s bone marrow cells. Just then-
115.
BOOM! An explosion tears through the door and knocks S99 to

the ground. BOOM! Another explosion rips out the right wall
of the laboratory. Lord S99 is knocked down on the floor and
lied unconscious. Through the smog and ashes caused by the
fiery explosion we catch a glimpse of a computer screen.
MONITOR READS: INJECTION COMPLETED.

The Marines and the Strongish swiftly gun down each other in
the room. This is an INTENSE SHOOTOUT. AN ACTION-PACKED WAR.

Lord V2, V19, and an unit of Marines dash to the lab when
they hear sounds of tearing and popping and cracking. Then
PRIMAL ROARS OF GORILLAS blare one after another. Just then-
WHAM! Surgical beds are thrown toward them. Lord V2 and V19
duck but the Marines could not dip quick enough- BLAM- the
oncoming objects hit them. They fall and lie unconscious.
Three figures emerge: Lord S1 leading Lord S2 and Lord S12.
They transformed into these terrible gorilla-like creatures.
Tighter on the creatures, first good look at them. 15 feet
tall, brown, as heavily muscled as Wise Man but with strange
fat layers around their necks. They got terrible faces and
in them we can see that indeed these are Lord S1...S2...S12.
LORD V2
Oh, no... They got his powers.
LORD V19
Find the boy. I’ll take care of
them.
LORD V2
Look at ’em. They’ll kill you.
LORD V19
One of us got to stay and fight
them and the other got to go find
the Apegoriman. I stay! You go!
Lord V19 rises up, runs, and screams aloud "Varyish". He
transforms into a gorilla-like creature, way much smaller
than those he’s about to confront. Lord V2 bursts out.
Lord V19 tries to fight them but the three monsters kill him
instantly...more like a clock job...his body is ripped apart
116.

As the intense shootout continues, Lord S2 and S12 emerges
from an adjacent room. They help the Strongish Lords. The
Marines madly shoot them. Bullets just bounce off their
solid rock-like bodies. They proceed forward and savagely
start killing the Marines cold blood one by one. Horrible.
INT. STRONGISH -- HALLWAY -- DAY

Lord V2 dashes to the high-ceiling hallway when he hears
Sydney’s voice yelling for help in a room nearby. Searches
desperately for the room. He perks up his ears as the voice
grows louder and louder. He kicks in a door and finds
Sydney, a mask on her face and tapes overall her body.
Lord V2 cuts off all the tapes, rips the mask off. Sydney
breathes out. Then she takes a look at her rescuer.
SYDNEY PITT
Who are you?
LORD V2
Where is Tyler? Where is he?!
SYDNEY PITT
I don’t know.
LORD V2
Come on. Let’s move it.
SYDNEY PITT
Wait. There’s someone else.
They rush out of the room and move to another room. Sydney
struggles to open it. Lord V2 moves her aside and kicks in
the door. They find Jason, the mask and the tapes as usual.
They cut off the tapes, rip the mask off. Jason breathes
out. Then he takes a look at them.
SYDNEY PITT AND LORD V2
Where is Tyler?!
JASON
He’s in the cell and the nuclear
bomb is in the watch tower.
117.

The Strongish Lords are overtaking control of the battle.

Larry, Colonel Jade, and General Paul watch the live feed. A
lot of Marines had died. Dead corps near dead corps.
MARINE #1 (OVER RADIO)
Alpha One, we need backup! Repeat:
we need backup! Out!
LARRY NEALSON
They need air support.
COLONEL JADE
The nuke is in the island. There is
no way we can aim and miss it.
General Paul speaks on the radio.
GENERAL PAUL
This is General Paul speaking. Send
more troops to the island!
EXT. NGUIZANIE -- MARINE CORPS BASE -- DAY

Chaos in the base as more troops load into the ships.
INT. STRONGISH -- HALLWAY -- DAY

Lord V2, Sydney, and Jason runs down the hallway when they
hear: CRASH! The sound of something crashing a wall out. A
figure emerge in front of them: Lord V2. He roars out.
LORD V2
You go find Tyler in the cell. Run!
I’ll protect you!
Jason and Sydney peels apart from Lord V2, who changes into
a gorilla creature and charges after Lord S1, and it’s ON.
Lord V2 is protecting/covering Jason and Sydney but Lord S1
is trying to get them before they find Tyler.
118.

More Marines Corps units arrive on shore. They peel out to
the right and make a quick left up to the headquarters.
INT. STRONGISH -- CELLBLOCK -- DAY

A loud buzzer sounds and a solid steel door at the end of
the corridor opens. Jason leads Sydney down the row of cells
The two stop in front of one of the cell’s solid steel
doors. They approach the door and slide open a panel.
INT. STRONGISH -- HALLWAY NEXT TO THE CELLBLOCK -- DAY

Lord V2 fight skillfully and hard but Lord S1 is dominating.
INT. STRONGISH -- CELL -- DAY

A beam of light enters the darkened room. Tyler sits on the
floor with his back to the door.
SYDNEY PITT
Tyler.
Tyler turns his head in response.
TYLER BLACK
Sydney!
Jason quickly shackle his wrists and ankles. Tyler’s hands
and feet are free now. Sydney hugs and kisses him.
INT. STRONGISH -- HALLWAY NEXT TO THE CELLBLOCK -- DAY

Lord S1 finally knocks Lord V2 down, who lies unconscious.
Then Lord S1 proceeds toward the cell block.
INT. STRONGISH -- CELL -- DAY

Jason and Sydney hold Tyler and together they exit the cell.
As they walk down the corridor, S1 emerges in their path.
Jason, who’s only human, tries to stop Lord S1 from getting
to Tyler. Jason’s face is banded, teeth clamped, as he hurls
himself at the monster. He instantly gets a punch into the
head, knocking him down instantly on the floor.
Lord S1 holds Tyler on the neck and lifts him up in the air.
119.
LORD S1
Any last words, Apegoriman.
Sydney can’t do anything other than crying for Tyler’s life.
TYLER BLACK
(tense)
You ain’t got shit.
LORD S1
Wrong words. So unwise.
Lord S1 throws Tyler down hard from the cell’s balcony...
SYDNEY PITT
(yells)
TYLER!!!
...and Tyler falls the height, a small PUMP OF STEAM as he
CRASHES THROUGH THE CEMENTED CELLBLOCK FLOOR, leaving a very
deep, huge hole.

The Strongish Lords finally overwhelm and slaughter all of
the Marines troops. Lord S2 signals his men to cease fire.
Pained moans echo throughout the lobby. Lord S2 grads the
helmet from dead Marine #1. He speaks to the camera.

They watch the feed from Marine #1’s helmet camera.
LORD S2 (OVER VIDEO)
Beware. War is coming to the city.
THE MONITOR FUZZED OUT.
Everyone in the room goes dead silent.
TECHNICIAN #1
Colonel, the F-16s want to know if
they can use deadly force against
them. What do want you want me to
tell them?
Colonel Jade, General Paul, and Larry are frozen. There is
not way to fight these monsters. They look at each other.
120.
EXT. SHIP TRAVELING -- DAY

The Strongish Lords load the Marines’ ships and travel the
ocean to the city. Three ball-like objects jump over them.
EXT. NGUIZANIE -- DOWNTOWN -- DAY

Lord S1, S2, and S12 land on the busiest street of Nguizanie
Downtown. They start crashing cars and hurling people as
they go. S1 holds Sydney, who looks very small, with 1 hand.

ON MONITORS: They are seeing the destruction of the city.
GENERAL PAUL
Get some army guys on the street!
Technicians #1 giving orders...

A dozen of HUMVEES reach downtown Nguizanie. They slam on
the brakes, stop, and stare:
The gorilla-like creatures are causing havoc. People are
running in panic, some cars turning around away from them,
some cars are abandoned by their terrified owners.
The Soldiers fire on the creatures, who block the stream of
streaking bullets. They reach the soldiers and kill them.

Larry, Jade, and Paul are agape at this horror on the street

Jason’s eyes flick open, waking in the darkness of the cell.
He rises up to stare at the deep hole in horror at sight of
THE APEGORIMAN pulling himself out of the hole. On his hands
and knees, the Wise Man looks up at the terrified Jason.
APEGORIMAN
Where did he take her?
Jason’s too terrified to answer the question. The Apegoriman
ROARS. Then he gently grabs Jason like a toy and bursts out.
121.

The Apegoriman exits the building and stares across the sea:
Three giants creatures destroying the city, it’s hell.
The Apegoriman first think of the place he wants to go, then
concentrate and sees myself there and yells the word
’Jumpish’ as loud as he can. Just then-
WHAM! He jumps the distance from the island to the city. He
travels in a curvy pattern, arcing over the vast ocean.
He LANDS on the street behind these three creatures. He
FLEXES his muscles and ROARS...It SHAKES the street.
They turn and see him. Lord S1 drops Sydney on the ground.
LORD S1
Wise man.
The Apegoriman drops Jason down...
APEGORIMAN
(to Jason)
Get Sydney.
...then he starts toward the monsters.
A high POV: we see the Apegoriman and the three creatures
run at each other. They are accelerating toward each other.
BOOM! THEY COLLIDE. SOUND WAVES OF THE COLLISION SHATTER ALL
OF THE WINDOWS IN THE SURROUNDINGS AND TRAVEL OUT INTO SEA.

They watch as the GIANTS are savagely beating each other.
TECHNICIAN #1
The black one is fighting them.
LARRY NEALSON
It’s the Apegoriman!
WHIP TO A MONITOR: Marines ships cross the ocean.
TECHNICIAN #2
Sir, the terrorists are crossing
the ocean, heading toward the city
Colonel Jade and General Paul speak on the radios.
122.
COLONEL JADE
This is Colonel Jade. I need 10
F-16s to this coordinate: 35
degrees North, 29 degrees East.
GENERAL PAUL
...and more troops in there, now!
EXT. SKIES OVER OCEAN -- DAY

F-16s fly over the ocean. They get visuals on the ships.
PILOT #2
We have visuals on the targets
confirm ’go’ for missiles launch.

COLONEL JADE
Delta One, you’re confirmed ’go’:
launch missiles at precision papa,
zulu, two, zero.
EXT. SKIES OVER OCEAN -- DAY

F-16s prepare missiles, LAUNCHING THE BOMBS INTO THE SHIPS
PRECISELY. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! FIERY EXPLOSION AT SEA.
EXT. PENTAGON -- JOINT OPERATIONS CENTER -- DAY

Everyone in the room react to the little victory.

THIS IS THE FINAL FIGHTING SEQUENCE
and the Apegoriman seems to handle it pretty well. He fights
skillfully and hard, FLIPPING one monster into another,
KICKING as his arms are held... two monsters hit the deck.
More HUMVEES arrive. Soldiers fire the fallen monsters,
giving the Wise Man the time to concentrate on Lord S1.
The Apegoriman dominates Lord S1. Hits him with cars, light
poles, bricks, and stones. He drags him on a corner and
reveals his fist and ready to kill him. But, he stops when-
123.
LORD S1
You have three minutes to stop the
nuclear bomb. Remote detonation.

Technician #1 receives electronic feeds from the MK49 NUKE.
TECHNICIAN #1
Sir, we have a huge problem.
LARRY NEALSON
What’s the problem?
TECHNICIAN #1
The terrorists remote detonated the
nuclear bomb. We have less than
three minutes before it explodes,
sir.
Larry is frozen and silent. Jade and Paul just stare at him.
INT. NGUIZANIE -- DOWNTOWN -- DAY

The Apegoriman still hit S1 on the face. Then he JUMPS from
the city to the island, landing precisely at the cell block.

Technician #2 reviews a feed.
TECHNICIAN #2
The Wise Man just landed on the
island.
LARRY NEALSON
(excited)
He’s going to stop the launch!
COLONEL JADE
Gimme timer on the main screen.

Lord S1, S2, and S12 very weakened now cannot withstand the
GUNFIRE from the soldiers and the MISSILE LAUNCH from F-16s.
Escaping out of there is the only choice they have. S2 and
S12 crawl to S1, who is more injured. They lift him up as
the troops proceed with the gunfire and F-16s with missiles.
124.
LORD S1
THIS HAS JUST BEGUN! IT IS NOT OVER
YET!
THEY JUMP AWAY, UP AND DOWN, KEEP JUMPING AND DISAPPEAR AWAY

Tyler dashes to the hallway next to the cell block. He finds
V2, struggling to get up. He lines him up against a wall.
LORD V2
(in pain)
How many times am I going to save
your life?
TYLER BLACK
This time you had to.
LORD V2
Good answer, Apegoriman.
TYLER BLACK
Where is the nuclear bomb?
LORD V2
It’s in the watch tower...
Tyler stands tall, ready to go. He looks at Lord V2.
TYLER BLACK
Thank you for everything...
Lord V2 nods in pain. They look at each other a beat.
TYLER BLACK
Tell Sydney I love her.
LORD V2
What are you trying to make?
TYLER BLACK
The right choice as always.
Tyler runs down for the mouth of the hallway, out of sight.
EXT. PENTAGON -- JOINT OPERATIONS CENTER -- DAY
They watch the timer on the main screen: 33...32...31...
125.
TECHNICIAN #1
We have 30 seconds left, sir!
Everyone in the room is silent and scared.
INT. STRONGISH -- WATCHTOWER -- DAY

Tyler enters the room and finds the nuclear bomb, ready to
be launched. He reads the time on the bomb’s monitor.
TIME MONITOR: goes down 25...24...23...22...21...20...
Tyler stares out to the city. We stay with the city a beat.
Then we spin to reveal the Apegoriman instead of Tyler. The
transformation from Tyler to Apegoriman’s already been done.
TIME MONITOR: goes down 15...14...13...12...11...

Technician #1 reacts to the timer.
TECHNICIAN #1
10 seconds!
LARRY NEALSON
(no hope left)
It’s over.
INT. STRONGISH - - WATCHTOWER -- DAY

TIME MONITOR: GOES DOWN 8...7...6...5...
THE APEGORIMAN HOLDS THE NUCLEAR BOMB TIGHT AND JUMPS UP TO
THE AIR WITH IT AT THE SPEED OF SOUND...

Jason and Sydney watch as the Apegoriman goes
...UP THROUGH THE MASS OF CLOUDS...
EXT. OUTER SPACE -- DAY

...UP INTO OUTER SPACE. JUST THEN...BOOM! THE BOMB DETONATES
ON IMPACT IN A MONSTROUS INFERNAL EXPLOSION.
The concussion knocks the Apegoriman off space into Earth.
126.

Total silence. They have just lost a brave man.

Sydney is weeping loudly in the corner. Jason puts his arm
around her. He ushers her away.
INT. RAIN FOREST, KAHIZI-BIEGA NATIONAL PARK, CONGO -- NIGHT

It is misted. It is deadly silent. As the tranquility of the
scene sinks in, we move across the dim forest to reveal:
THE WISE MAN...HE’S ALIVE...EYES SNAP OPEN.
FADE OUT.
THE END.
