He spots the Perp, sailing east on Forty-first Street.
EDWARDS:
Dammit, man, you're making me sweat
up my gear!
Edwards spots one of those New York Post delivery trucks,
the kind with the open back door, rumbling by. He runs and
jumps into the back.
THE PERP, meanwhile, is running at top speed, when Edwards
glides into frame, leaning off the back of the truck.
EDWARDS:
Yo, man, your luck just ran out.
He leaps from the back of the moving truck and tackles the
Perp.
The Perp, now straddled by Edwards, is terrified.
PERP:
He's coming! He's coming!
EDWARDS:
And when he gets here, I'll kick his
ass too.
Edwards is about to slap the cuffs on him, when the Perp
blinks. Nothing unusual about that, but then another set of
translucent, milky white eyelids, underneath his regular
eyelids, blinks also.
Edwards is thrown for a moment, which is all the time the
Perp needs to pull out...
His WEAPON, which is the strangest looking gun you've ever
seen. Reacting quickly, Edwards bats it out of the Perp's
hand.
THE WEAPON smashes into the stone wall surrounding Central
Park and SHATTERS into a million pieces.
EDWARDS:
What the...
WHOMP! The Perp kicks him in the nuts, then scrambles to his
feet and takes off again. Edwards staggers after him, in
pain.
The Perp leaps over a moving car, towards the GUGGENHEIM
MUSEUM. Edwards tries to follow, but a bus pulls in front of
him. After it passes, the Perp is gone.
EXT. GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM -- NIGHT
Edwards runs over to the Museum, leans over the wall that
surrounds it, and in the next instant...
The Perp flies past him, having leapt from twenty feet down
to the top of the Guggenheim. He scrambles up and over the
ledge.
Edward reacts. He runs to the front door of the Museum, shoots
it open and runs inside.
He runs from the rotunda up the grand ramp of the Guggenheim.
EXT. GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM - ROOF - NIGHT
On the roof, the PERP reaches the top, climbs over the edge,
and CRUNCHES to the gravel surface. He leaps to his feet and
races over to a door. It's locked.
He tugs on another. It's locked too. He pulls on a third. It
swings open --
-- revealing EDWARDS on the other side, breathing hard. He
aims his weapon at the Perp.
EDWARDS:
Wassup?
The Perp SCREAMS inhumanly and panics. He backpedals, toward
the edge of the roof.
PERP:
He's coming! He's coming because I
failed, and now he'll kill me too!
EDWARDS:
Stop!
PERP:
You don't understand. Your world is
gonna end.
But the Perp has backed right into the edge of the roof, and
now he starts to fall over. The Perp blinks.
EDWARDS:
What are you?!
The Perp looks down. He decides.
-- and he falls, SCREAMING, to his death.
CUT TO:
INT. INTERROGATION ROOM - NIGHT
EDWARDS sits on one side of the table, a POLICE INSPECTOR
and a UNIFORMED SERGEANT (the one who gave up the chase and
lit a cigarette earlier), sit across from him.
INSPECTOR:
Perpetrator then blinked two sets of
eyelids. You mean blinked with both
eyes?
EDWARDS:
No, sir. He blinked once with one
set, then again with another
completely different set.
SERGEANT:
Sort of a low beam, high beam.
INSPECTOR:
Was that before or after he drew the
weapon which you claim evaporated
into a million pieces?
EDWARDS:
After, sir.
INSPECTOR:
And why do you suppose none of the
other officers saw either of these
two events?
EDWARDS:
'Cause some of the other officers
are a little soggy in the midsection.
And they couldn't keep up, sir.
SERGEANT:
Hey, Edwards, if you were half the
man I am --
EDWARDS:
What do you mean? I am half the man
you are.
SERGEANT:
What the hell is your problem?
EDWARDS:
My problem is you being all up in my
damn face all the time.
SERGEANT:
I think he threw him off the roof.
Ten minutes -- your best shot.
INSPECTOR:
(cutting off the
Sergeant)
Sergeant. I want to talk to you
outside. Now.
EDWARDS:
You need ten minutes on a Stairmaster,
you pudgy bastard.
INT. INTERROGATION ROOM - LATER - NIGHT
A woman sneaks into the room. DOCTOR LAUREL WEAVER, thirtyish,
dark-haired, dark-eyed, general aura of darkness around her,
stands above him. Laurel looks like she was just dragged out
of bed (which she was) and saw a spaceman (which she did).
