Faster Page #2

Synopsis: A lone man, recently released from prison, seeks out the people from his past who he believes betrayed him. While he forces each to atone for their sins, he must also face what meting out vengeance will do to his immortal soul. Meanwhile, he's not the only one looking to settle old scores. Hired by the man responsible for the events which lead him to prison, an eccentric contract killer follows his every move. Scenes of them crossing paths, sometimes violently, are interspersed with the assassin's self-realizations of how to deal with struggles within his own life. As if old enemies & hired guns aren't enough, a young female detective begrudgingly works alongside a veteran investigator looking to simply survive his last two weeks on the force before retirement, as they seek out the brazen ex-con who has been blazing a path of gasoline-powered destruction in his vintage Chevelle.

The hospital pronounced him DO A.

[]

DOCTOR:

Bullet hit, ricocheted around

his skull, came out his cheek.

He's got a plate holding

the back of his head together.

[]

Don't play much.

Well, you got an arm

like a cannon.

with that coach.

Maybe pinch-hit or something.

What do you say?

[PHONE RlNGlNG]

[]

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLlCKS]

lncredible.

You're a full two hours late.

John, did you--?

So, what do we got?

What do you got?

Guy did the world

a favor on this one.

Found out

who shot our snuff films.

Excuse me.

So we got a telemarketer,

a sex offender.

What's next, a lawyer?

Whole shebang

just got a lot weirder.

Witnesses placed a

second shooter at the scene.

After our suspect

whacked Mr. Rogers,

he had a little shootout

in the hall.

Maybe an armed neighbor.

Uh-uh.

No one recognized

this dude.

They exchanged gunfire

then disappeared.

Both of them.

COP:

The second shooter,

any description?

The word ''beautiful'' came up.

Beautiful?

Like a movie star.

KlLLER:

He punked me.

He's really that good?

KlLLER [OVER HEADSET]:

Good's not even the right word.
