SCENE ONE
|
[THE GUARD at the elevator, pounding the button -- but DeLio’s body jams the doors. He yanks his walkie-talkie.] GUARD - 911! 911! [RESUME - STAIRWELL] [TIGHT - THE KILLER'S COAT fitted with inflatable padding. Plugs are pulled, air forced out as he moves down the steps, and next we see -- A FLATTENED BACKPACK into which the gimmicks are quickly stuffed, followed by the HAT and WIG (one piece). The silenced PISTOL next. Still hammering down the stairs towards--]
INT. OFFICE BUILDING - LOBBY - SAME TIME [As the Guard gives up on the elevator, heads for the stairs, his gun drawn and ready.]
INT. OFFICE BUILDING - EMERGENCY STAIRWELL - BOTTOM LANDING - SAME TIME [KILLER'S POV as he races to the landing. Then we HEAR the sound of ROLLING WHEELS, and we're heading straight for the DOOR to the lobby.]
INT. OFFICE BUILDING - LOBBY - SAME TIME [Just as the Guard reaches the door, it SWINGS OPEN. He levels his gun, ready to shoot as he faces -- JOHNNY KELLY, in a baseball cap, looking younger than his years, is on a skateboard with a backpack and T-shirt -- no resemblance to the big assassin. Seeing the gun, Johnny freezes in his tracks, stares wide-eyed.] JOHNNY - Whoa. Is that real? [It's a light tenor voice -- no resemblance to the killer's rasp he used in the hallway upstairs. The Guard swings his gun away -- he almost shot a kid.] GUARD - Son of a...! [takes a breath] You see a big guy on the stairs? Trench coat? JOHNNY - Yeah. He was running up to the roof... GUARD - Get the hell out of here! [The Guard slams through the doors, up the stairs.] JOHNNY - [beat] Whatever you say. [Johnny smiles -- it's not the smile of a kid. He hops on his skateboard and shoves off, treats himself to a spin around the lobby before pulling a sharp turn and wheeling out the door. As he does, we hear his voice coming back: it's a Jolson tune.] JOHNNY - [singing] "When there are grey skies, I don't mind those grey skies. You make them blue, sonny boy." [And as it fades off, we--] [FADE OUT.] [END OF TEASER]

SCENE FIVE

EXT. STORAGE FACILITY - ANGLE ON ROW C [As Johnny slaloms down the concrete, reaches a door, stomps his board, flipping it up into his hands -- and keys open his padlock. He disappears inside.]
INT. STORAGE FACILITY - JOHNNY'S LOCKER - CONTINUOUS - DAY [Johnny snaps on the light, hangs his board up next to several OTHER SKATEBOARDS hanging in a row.] [ANGLE - FAR WALL - Johnny's "office". On one side: rows of COSTUMES, STAGE MAKE-UP, WIGS and DISGUISES. On the other side -- WEAPONS. German HUNTING RIFLES, telescopic SIGHTS, KNIVES, PISTOLS, various ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS used to make bombs. Your full-service hitman.] [Johnny opens his sack, pulls out the disguise from the previous day. He rubs his hands as he smiles over his equipment. He reaches up, switches on a BOOM-BOX. Incongruous vintage Jolson pours out. The kid is older than he looks. Way older.] [ANGLE - A CLIPBOARD and two photos there: One is DOMINIC DELIO, the dead man. Beside it, a man with similar feature: MICHAEL DELIO, standing in front of DeLio’s Tool & Die. Johnny takes Dominic's photo down, tears it up, tosses in a garbage can.] JOHNNY - One down... [holding Michael DeLio’s photo] One to go. [He folds the photo and puts it into his pocket. He sings along with the tape as he pulls out a comb, combs down his tousled modern 'do.]
INT. STORAGE FACILITY - JOE'S LOCKER - DAY - SAME TIME [An array of JUNK in precarious piles: an old neon BEER SIGN, TOOLS, a DRESSMAKER'S DUMMY, an old GUITAR AMP, a box with TOY TRAIN TRACKS.] MACLEOD - Unbelievable. I'm 400 years old, I don't have this much junk. [He starts to claw through boxes, finds a FOOTBALL, puts it aside and finally stops at -- a TOOL BOX. He pulls it out -- an avalanche of JUNK comes at him. He backs into the DRESSMAKER'S DUMMY, rights it gingerly before it topples.] MACLEOD - I'm not even gonna ask. [He moves out of the locker with the tool box.]
EXT. STORAGE FACILITY - ROW B - DAY [As MacLeod locks the door, he gets the BUZZ. He looks around, alert -- coming from somewhere in the storage facility. He lowers the TOOLBOX, and heads toward it.]
INT. STORAGE FACILITY - JOHNNY'S LOCKER - DAY - SAME [Johnny is whistling cheerfully, cleaning the AUTOMATIC he used to kill DeLio. He removes the CLIP, about to put it on the wall -- he feels the BUZZ. He slaps the CLIP back in the practiced motion and puts it down. He reaches the wall, takes down his SWORD, then picks up the gun, shoves it in his back belt. A hard smile.] JOHNNY - Company.

MACLEOD - I'm Duncan MacLeod. I'm like you are, Johnny... I can't die. Not with a bullet, anyway. JOHNNY - You're nuts! MACLEOD - No, I'm Immortal. And so are you.

SCENE ELEVEN

JOHNNY - [on phone] Good reflexes for an old guy. [beat] That's good. Wouldn't want you to make it too easy. MACLEOD - Enough, Johnny! JOHNNY - Says who? MACLEOD - Last time. It ends now or I find you. JOHNNY - You got it wrong, MacLeod. I'll find you. [He hangs up. DIAL TONE. And OFF MacLeod's look--] [FADE OUT.] [END OF ACT TWO]

DAWSON - I know... [flaring] I said it was fine. BETSY - [takes a step back] It was great, seeing you. DAWSON - [looking away] Same here. BETSY - [beat, hurrying it] I'll call you. [She turns and heads quickly for the door.] DAWSON - [to the empty room] You know where to find me.

SCENE EIGHTEEN

[Dawson is flushed with emotion.] DAWSON - If I'd known you were married... BETSY - You wouldn't have made love to me. [Touching her face tenderly, a touch of humor:] DAWSON - I don't know about that.

SCENE NINETEEN
|
[He smiles gently. She puts a hand on his cheek, smiles back. That's a "yes."]
|
SCENE TWENTY
|
MACLEOD - Not this time, Johnny. [Johnny yanks a PISTOL from his jacket -- MacLeod chops it out of his hand. The pistol flies off the roof.] MACLEOD - With swords, Johnny. Remember? That's how we do it. JOHNNY - No problem. If it kills, I know how to use it. [Johnny grabs his sword, and with the other hand, pulls something from his hip pocket: a KNIFE.] MACLEOD - You're a regular Swiss-army knife. [Johnny swings. MacLeod parries, and they move across the roof, clashing swords. Johnny's good, but not good enough. He takes a swing, misses then darts behind the chimney. MacLeod watches for him-- Johnny blasts out, throws the knife, charging MacLeod as he does. MACLEOD ducks the knife, lands a blow in Johnny's side. Johnny doubles over, gasping.] MACLEOD - How many people you kill? Two hundred and forty-nine, was it? [harder] Not any more. JOHNNY - Make it two-fifty. [Johnny swings wildly -- MacLeod counters -- Johnny's sword clatters to the ground.] MACLEOD - Make it two forty-nine. [MacLeod winds up and swings. Johnny's headless body falls to the ground. MacLeod stands for the quickening.] [FADE OUT.] [END OF ACT FOUR]

SCENE TWENTY-ONE
|
DAWSON - Not a chance. That storage room's never been so clean.
