SCENE THREE

INT. PRISON MACHINE SHOP - DAY - NINO'S MEMORY

[Kalas is working at a lathe near two prisoners who are repairing a motor. Nino enters. Unseen by Kalas, he signals the two prisoners, jerks his head at the door. Not about to argue with this psycho, the two prisoners lay down their tools and silently fade from the room.]

[CLOSE - Kalas at the spinning lathe, he's unaware of Nino behind him -- until Nino drives a steel shank into his back. Kalas grimaces in agony. As he topples, Nino shoves him back across a work table, rolls him onto his back. He's dead. Nino looks around for guards, then rifles Kalas' shirt pocket, finds nothing. He curses, starts to search the other pocket -- suddenly a hand shoots up, grabs him by the throat in an iron grip.]

[NEW ANGLE -- As Kalas rises off the table, holding the terrified Nino by the neck. Kalas uses his free hand to touch his wound, holds it up to see the blood there. He seems almost amused.]

KALAS - Well, well ... what have we here? A psychopath. A natural born killer.

[Nino's choking, held almost off the ground. Kalas calmly considers whether to snuff this mortal's life.]

KALAS - I could kill you. [beat] But I'd rather use you.

[He releases him. Nino stumbles back, staring in wonder and fear at the man who just came back from the dead.]

SCENE FOURTEEN

 
AMANDA - All right, I came for Kalas! You know you can really be irritating sometimes?

MacLEOD - And you can stay out of this.

AMANDA - Listen, MacLeod, Kalas is as much my problem as he is yours.

MacLEOD - Because you let him out.

AMANDA - That was below the belt. I'm not quitting. So either we do this together, or we do it separately.

[MacLeod throws up his arms, and OFF his exasperated face, just as he opens his mouth to give an unprintable reply--]

SCENE FIFTEEN

 
[MacLeod gives her a look and she shrugs in response. Still poking around, she opens a closet door and comes face-to-face with Michel, the man behind the door. He raises his automatic and fires. Amanda takes the bullet in the chest and is blown back, mortally wounded. Michel comes out of the closet firing. MacLeod dives out of the way as bullets tear around him.]

 

INT. HALLWAY

[Michel races out. MacLeod comes up behind him and tackles him. As Michel falls, he lands on top of the gun. It goes off. Michel is shot. MacLeod rolls him over. He's dead. MacLeod returns to--]

SCENE SIXTEEN

 
[Baffled, Dawson takes the phone.]

DAWSON - Dawson. [beat] Where? [He listens, then hangs up slowly, disturbed.]

METHOS - They spotted Christine.

DAWSON - In the park. [beat, heavily] Across from the newspaper building.

METHOS - So. She's doing it.

[A BEAT -- they all know what it means. Dawson gathers himself together, starts for the door. Methos and MacLeod start to follow, but Dawson holds up a hand.]

DAWSON - No. Happened on my watch... it's my responsibility. I'll do this.

MacLEOD - Do what, Joe?

DAWSON - [beat] Stop her.

[He turns and leaves, both men watching him.]
