Vienna, Virginia

[It's evening. People are getting out of cars and walking into a modern two-storey building.]

[Camera pans up and over to roof. We see two figures running along a flat part of the roof. It's Byers and Frohike. They stop and lift off the cover of a ventilation duct.]

[Cut to security monitors showing people standing and walking in a large hall. Pan back to show security guards at the monitors as more people walk into the hall.]

WOMAN [VO]:

[Cut to the woman speaking to the crowd.]

WOMAN:

VOICE OFF:

[People start looking round to see who it is.]

WOMAN:

[We see a large plasma screen in the background showing a revolving animation of the processor.]

VOICE OFF:

[People looking round again for the mystery person.]

WOMAN:

LANGLY:

[He puts an empty glass on a waiter's tray.]

LANGLY:

[He's picked up a kebab from the waiter's tray.]

WOMAN:

[Camera has switched to Langly while she's speaking.]

LANGLY:

[Cut to a laptop. Pan up to Frohike suspended in a harness. Byers is operating the laptop. Think Mission Impossible I.]

FROHIKE:

[Cut to Langly.]

LANGLY:

WOMAN:

LANGLY:

FROHIKE [in Langly's ear]:

[Langly stops talking.]

FROHIKE:

[Camera focusses on device in Langly's ear. Camera pulls back and Langly looks at the kebab.]

LANGLY:

[Langly faints - very quickly. People crowd around him. Security guards rush into the hall and away from the monitors.]

[Camera pans to monitors and focusses on one where we see Frohike being lowered in the harness from the ceiling of a room which is mostly empty except for a table in the middle.]

[Cut to a view in the room upwards watching Frohike descend.]

FROHIKE:

[Camera focuses on the Octium chip on the desk.]

[Cut to hall where first-aid attempts are being made on the convulsing Langly.]

MAN:

[Cut to security monitors showing Frohike. Pan up to someone watching the monitors - glasses, short hair, beard.]

[Camera alternates between Frohike and Byers.]

[Just as Frohike lifts out the chip, an alert comes up on Byers' laptop.]

   NETWORK LOG-IN. REMOTE USER LOGGED ON.

[Other alerts appear.]

   ALERT:

   DELETING PREFS

     ["winch_control.prg"]

   ALERT: LOADING NEW PREFS

     ["winch_control.prg"]

BYERS:

FROHIKE:

[The winch starts to haul Frohike upward. He spins over backwards in his harness.]

FROHIKE:

BYERS:

[Frohike descends again.]

[Langly, still on the floor convulsing, jerks his had back and camera cuts to his upside-down view of the bearded person by the security monitors.]

[Langly spits out the pen and starts to sit up.]

MAN:

[One of the other men sees and removes the listening device from Langly's ear.]

MAN:

[Cut to outside the room Frohike is in. We see through the glass doors as Frohike is winched up again, and then down again. We see from Frohike's upside-down view a person approaching the doors. As the person walks in an alarm starts sounding. Again from Frohike's upside-down view we see the person - the same bearded person as before.]

[Cut to Frohike, still upside-down. The bearded person moves in and gives Frohike a full-on-the-lips kiss.]

[Cut to Byers looking puzzled.]

[Cut back to the liplock. The bearded person pulls away.]

FROHIKE:

[The bearded person takes the Octium chip.]

[The bearded person pushes Frohike so he flips over and over in the harness, then leaves and walks down the corridor. Security men and Langly appear from a side corridor, walking towards the room Frohike is in.]

LANGLY:

[The bearded person goes into the Men's Restroom.]

[Cut back to Frohike still suspended as the security men and Langly enter. One man goes over to the table, sees the chip is gone.]

MAN [to Frohike]:

[Frohike just looks miserable. The man looks up and sees Byers.]

MAN [looking at Frohike]:

[Frohike looks more miserable. Then the winch drops him onto the floor.]

[The door to the Men's Restroom opens and out walks a very attractive young woman with long black hair and wearing a skimpy figure-hugging black dress. She looks over at the security men dragging Langly out of the room.]

LANGLY:

[The woman walks off, pauses at a litter bin and deposits what looks like a false beard and wig in it. She walks off along the corridor.]

 

Offices of "The Lone Gunman"
Takoma Park, Maryland

[View of a security monitor recording Langly and Byers walking down steps to their office door.]

[Camera pans to inside of door. There is much unlocking of locks. The door opens and Langly, Byers and Frohike enter.]

LANGLY:

FROHIKE:

[Langly locks the door behind them.]

LANGLY:

BYERS:

FROHIKE:

BYERS:

LANGLY:

[During this conversation, Frohike is wandering around, searching for something.]

LANGLY:

FROHIKE:

BYERS:

[Frohike points a device at a shelf and it emits a squeal sound. Langly goes over and Frohike picks up and shows Byers a small listening device. Langly snatches and shouts into it.]

LANGLY:

[He throws it into a glass of liquid.]

LANGLY:

[An old telephone rings. Byers goes over and picks it up.]

BYERS:

[Camera pans in closer to Byers' face.]

BYERS:

 

[Day. Cemetery. A group of people are standing around a grave in the distance. A man, Ray Helm, is eulogising on Byers' father.]

HELM:

[The camera pans and we see Frohike and Langly in the congregation standing with Byers.]

FROHIKE [an aside to Langly]:

HELM:

[His voice fades as the camera pans over Langly and Frohike. Somebody standing on the edge of the group catches Langly's attention. He's sure it is the bearded individual from the E-Com Con event.]

HELM:

[Pan to Byers.]

HELM:

[The Priest makes his way over to Byers.]

PRIEST:

[The Priest hands Byers a small black box. Byers sighs.]

BYERS:

[The mourners start moving away, revealing a small rocket, maybe 2 feet high.]

BYERS:

[The mourners are standing well back now, away from the rocket.]

BYERS:

[He presses the button. The rocket fires and takes off. Byers watches it ascend. At the top of its trajectory it explodes with a soft sound.]

[Later, Langly and Frohike are walking through the cemetery.]

LANGLY:

FROHIKE:

LANGLY:

FROHIKE:

[Langly is looking over Frohike's head at something ahead of him.]

LANGLY:

FROHIKE [checking his watch]:

LANGLY:

[Langly runs up to a someone sporting a short beard, walking away from the service. He grabs him, turns him around and tries to pull the beard off.]

BEARDED MAN:

LANGLY:

BEARDED MAN:

Reston, Virginia

[The Lone Gunmen and Ray Helm are standing under a very long road bridge in the middle of a wide open area.]

HELM:

LANGLY:

BYERS:

HELM:

[Cut to inside a car, at night. We see hands on the driving wheel. Camera pans over to show the driver's face. A man, probably in his sixties.]

HELM [VO]:

[We see through the back window the headlights of another car approaching. That car draws level and the driver fires a gun. Within the car we see the driver's window shatter.]

[Cut to outside the car. It goes off the road, hits the bridge support and bursts into flames.]

[Cut back to Byers.]

BYERS:

HELM:

[Frohike and Langly exchange glances.]

HELM:

BYERS:

[Helm nods. Byers by now is clearly upset.]

BYERS:

HELM:

BYERS:

FROHIKE:

LANGLY [to Helm]:

HELM:

Bertram Byers' Residence

[Night. The Lone Gunmen's VW drives up. Inside, the residence is in a good decor, lots of wood and blinds. Byers is looking at a document.]

FROHIKE:

LANGLY:

[Byers slowly walks over to a table and picks up a framed photograph.]

BYERS:

[Byers is upset but then rallies.]

BYERS:

[He walks off and Langly and Frohike follow. Frohike slips on the spot, falling towards the carpet.]

FROHIKE:

[He falls on his back with a loud thump.]

FROHIKE:

[He sits up and then looks at his fingers.]

FROHIKE:

BYERS [to Frohike]:

[Langly is sitting at the computer. We see the lines of text on the monitor.]

LANGLY:

BYERS:

LANGLY:

BYERS:

LANGLY:

[The monitor is now showing a screen showing a hexadecimal and text contents of a file, deleted from the disk.]

BYERS:

[Byers points to some text on the screen.]

LANGLY:

[The screen shows a partial filename "...oad\gov_docs\scenario_12-D"]

LANGLY:

[Cut to Frohike back in the lounge in the dark. He's dressed in white coveralls, and is inching his way across the carpet on his knees, waving a ultraviolet light wand over the carpet which he is spraying with a liquid as he goes. Suddenly the light picks up an area of carpet which glows faintly green.]

FROHIKE:

[He sprays it with the liquid and the glow intensifies.]

FROHIKE:

[Byers and Langly hear his shouts.]

FROHIKE:

[Byers and Langly enter the lounge. Frohike hands the light wand to Byers.]

FROHIKE:

[Byers waves the light wand over the area of carpet.]

FROHIKE:

[Byers is looking down at the carpet in disbelief.]

LANGLY:

BYERS [theorizing]:

[He exchanges a look with Frohike and Langly.]

BYERS:

[Fade to black.]

ABC Salvage
Reston, Virginia

[A red VW Beetle is being crushed in a breaker's yard.]

BYERS:

YARD WORKER:

[Byers looks at Frohike. Frohike looks at the Yard Worker.]

FROHIKE:

YARD WORKER:

[Byers and Frohike look over and see a machine about to lift a car into the crusher.]

FROHIKE [worried]:

[They run frantically towards the machine, shouting: Hey! Wait! Stop! Shut it down!]

[As they run, Frohike slips and falls face down into the mud.]

BYERS:

[Frohike picks himself up. He's covered in mud from head to foot.]

FROHIKE:

[They stare resignedly as the machine lowers the car into the crusher.]

YARD WORKER:

[Frohike and Byers turn around.]

YARD WORKER:

[The camera pans over a barely recognizable blue car. It's been crushed into a steel cube.]

YARD WORKER:

 

[A corridor in a building. Men come out of open doors into the corridor pointing guns. A hand appears in front of the camera holding a gun. Shots are fired. As each man in the corridor is hit, he disappears. It's a computer simulation.]

[Langly, complete with ear protection, steps in front of the shooter.]

LANGLY:

[Shooter (played by John Shiban), wearing camouflage, points his gun at the ceiling and, exasperated, points to his left. Langly walks off.]

[As the camera pans across we see that it is a firing range, with several shooters.]

KIMMY:

[The camera shows what Kimmy is looking at - it's a battle scene in woods with several warriors running forwards, they're carrying swords and shields. Again, they disappear when shot.]

[Langly taps Kimmy's shoulder. Kimmy whirls round in surprise.]

KIMMY:

LANGLY:

BYERS [VO]:

[The assassin is creeping up behind Byers Snr who is sat down.]

BYERS [VO]:

FROHIKE [VO]:

[Still in flashback. The assassin slowly approaches Byers Snr who is watching television. Byers Snr is clearly enjoying what he is watching, and the assassin approaches him from behind. Suddenly the assassin slips and falls with a grunt to the ground. There is a gunshot and a bright flash. Byers Snr is startled and looks behind him.]

[Cut back to:]

[Under the bridge with the Lone Gunmen and Helm.]

HELM:

[Helm seems somewhat unbelieving.]

HELM:

LANGLY:

[Cut with flash effect to outside Byers Snr's home. Byers Snr leaves the house.]

BYERS [VO]:

[Flashback. Byers Snr goes to his car. As he gets in he discovers a device on the driver's seat. He picks it up - it's a remote control, with a joystick-type lever.]

BYERS [VO]:

[Flashback. Byers Snr gets out of the car and raises the bonnet of the car. There's a circuit board with wires leading to various parts of the engine. Byers Snr clicks a button on the remote control and the headlights light up.]

BYERS [VO]:

[Byers Snr moves the joystick and the car reverses.]

BYERS [VO]:

[Byers Snr continues to operate the joystick and the car moves towards him.]

[Byers Snr's living room. It's day but the curtains are drawn. Byers enters. He goes over to a small bureau and pulls open a compartment. He then notices several magazines on one shelf. He pulls some out - they are all Lone Gunman newsletters. Headlines: "ATMs STEAL CASH", "SUPERMARKET BARCODES USED TO TRACK YOU". While he is looking as these, another man enters the room.]

BYERS SNR:

[We see it's Byers Snr.]

[Then another message: "Manual Override Unlocked"]

LANGLY:

[He types. The screen now shows: "Octium Inside! Octium IV". This is an obvious rip-off of the Intel Inside campaign.]

[We cut to Frohike and Yves who are typing away on a laptop.]

[We then cut to view of the Twin Towers approaching quickly, then to flight deck. There's a beep and a green light shows on the control panel.]
