Looks at William.
DAVID:
And Claire is in love with him,
making your union much more
difficult.
WILLIAM:
What? You’re wrong. He’s a guard.
David approaches William, places his hands on his shoulders.
For the briefest moment, we see David the father, not David
the politician.
DAVID:
I’m sorry, William, but your
feelings for Claire have blinded
you to what was plain to see in
that room.
William absorbs this news. David darkens again, turns away.
DAVID:
It’s now more imperative than ever
that we take full control of Vega.
WILLIAM:
Helena isn’t going to like us
holding Arika in prison. I think
Rysen was right.... she seemed to
be speaking the truth when she said
she had no idea what Roan was.
David takes a drink.
DAVID:
Helena’s going to like what I do
next, even less.
William doesn’t like the sound of that.
WILLIAM:
You know Arika is Helena’s wife,
don’t you?
David doesn’t respond, he just walks over to a window and
stares down on Vega, his kingdom.
66.
DAVID:
Don’t agree with Rysen... About
anything... ever again.
INT. RYSEN’S OFFICE -NIGHT
Rysen barks orders to a number of underlings when CLAIRE
storms in, leaving Bixby at the door with a guard.
CLAIRE:
I need a word.
RYSEN:
Claire, I...
CLAIRE:
Now.
Rysen looks to his people.
RYSEN:
Leave us.
As soon as they’re gone, she unloads.
CLAIRE:
How could you do this to me? I’m
not a chess piece to be traded for
advantage!
(holding in tears)
And you lied to me... you knew I
would never go for it, so you
decided to spring it on me in front
against my will...
Rysen moves to her.
RYSEN:
You said it yourself... Weel will
not cede power on his own and I
can’t rule forever. I’m old, I
don’t have many more days left. We
must join House Weel with House
Rysen and give the people a
government that is united and then
over time from the inside you will
guide Vega towards a Republic.
William is nothing like David. He
wants what I do...
(tired)
We need Vega to be strong not
subjugated.
67.
Claire’s horrified, stares at her father like a stranger.
CLAIRE:
Everything is strategy and tactics
to you. Even your own family. I
don’t love him! Doesn’t that mean
anything to you?
RYSEN:
Yes it does.
CLAIRE:
I love Alex...
Rysen absorbs this news, surprised, then as it settles, not.
RYSEN:
He’s a good man. He saved your
life so you have misplaced feelings
for him because of that...
CLAIRE:
My feelings aren’t “misplaced.” I
love him. And he is the Chosen
One.
RYSEN:
(cold)
I have no idea what he is and I
only deal in what I can understand,
facts not fiction. What I do know
is your destiny is far too
important to this city’s future to
be derailed by choosing the wrong
man.
Rysen stares at her, softens.
RYSEN:
We’ve all had to do things
Claire... things we hated to do.
Me more than most.
(hard to remember)
Your mother was possessed the first
night of the war... She went crazy
and came at you...
It brings tears to his eyes, and we see how the memory is
seared into him, the misery.
RYSEN:
She was going to kill you... if I
hadn’t stopped her.
68.
He lets that hang in the air, something Claire didn’t know.
Her hand involuntarily comes to her mouth.
RYSEN:
This must be done. You must marry
William. You must lead Vega.
(looks into her eyes)
Off Claire’s confused and tortured face we move away and
focus on a single Rysen soldier in a blue uniform standing
guard at the far side of the enormous room. The soldier
shifts... it’s NOMA.
INT. STRATOSPHERE – NIGHT
Michael and Alex enter to find WYNN waiting for Michael.
She’s been crying, but when she sees him alive...
WYNN:
Michael!
She rushes into his arms. Michael isn’t comfortable with
this intimacy, even more so the fact Alex is a witness to it,
but he soothes her gently.
MICHAEL:
I’m fine.
She weeps tears of joy, gently checking his wounds with her
hands, as Alex watches flabbergasted. He’s never seen
Michael in such a human moment, nor even dreamed he could
have a lover.
MICHAEL:
Wynn. I need to speak with Alex.
WYNN:
(wiping tears)
Of course.
She takes a close look at Alex, her eyes miss nothing, and
notes the tattoos slightly exposed at the top of his wrists.
Wynn exits.
Michael’s non-plussed, but hides it well with his usual stoic
gaze.
This night has changed the dynamic of their relationship
drastically and both men feel it. Alex is still having
trouble processing...
MICHAEL:
You were never alone.
69.
ALEX:
What?
MICHAEL:
When Jeep left, you were never
alone. I watched over you...
(beat)
I made sure you joined the army. I
formed the Archangel Corp so I
could stay close to you without
arising suspicion. Everything was
done so you could train, in secret.
No one could know who you were...
Alex attempts to see Michael in a new way other than as
taskmaster. He can’t.
ALEX:
Am I supposed to thank you? To
thank Jeep for all this?
MICAHEL:
No. It just is. Jeep held the
tattoos on his body for when you
were ready. He knew it might mean
his death...
ALEX:
I’m not ready. I’m no savior.
MICHAEL:
You are. And it’s up to you to
decipher the tattoos.
Alex stares at his arms.
MICHAEL:
I bore them on my body before they
were transferred onto Jeep’s. But
they were always meant for the
Chosen One.
ALEX:
What are they?
MICAHEL:
Our fate. Our hope. Written in a
language long since forgotten, one
even I don’t know.
Michael grabs a hand held light.
70.
MICHAEL:
Can you take off your shirt?
(beat)
Please.
Alex does.
Michael shines the light over his torso and amazingly the
tattoo’s are shifting, changing, and slowly MOVING on Alex’
body.
Michael’s surprised by this, as if the tattoos have come
alive.
MICHAEL:
(looks up at Alex)
Can you read them?
Alex stares at them, sees them moving and is scared... which
turns to anger, feeling pushed by Michael and shaken to the
core by the death of his father and losing Claire.
ALEX:
I don’t want it! I didn’t ask for
any of this! Why did Jeep have to
die?!
MICHAEL:
I loved Jeep too Alex... but this
is war and only one side can win.
What’s in those tattoos will guide
you through what’s to come. They
will lay out the path through which
mankind can be redeemed and Gabriel
and his Legions pushed back. But
this path will not be easily
traversed. At every step, you must
Alex looks down at the tattoos on his arms. After a beat, he
shakes his head, frustrated, feeling the crushing burden now
upon him. Michael steps closer.
MICHAEL:
(softly)
Jeep believed in you, Alex. He
better place again. He had hope.
He had faith. And so do I.
