Minority Report Page #19
She picks up her cane and turns the music back on, leaving
Anderton to ponder this.
CUT TO:
THE ANDERTON PREVISION
The series of images we saw earlier: a MAN backlit by a
window. A FACE WEARING SUNGLASSES outside the window. "6"
becoming "9". A GUN GOES OFF. A MAN FLYING THROUGH THE
WINDOW. We're ZOOMING IN AND OUT. PANNING THIS WAY AND THAT
now we...
REVEAL:
ANDERTON'S OFFICE - PRECRIMEAs Fletcher works the Prevision screen in here, Witwer looks
around the office. He pulls open a drawer. It's empty.
JAD (O.S.)
He wasn't in here much. He
preferred to be with the team.
Witwer looks to where Jad stands in the doorway. Witwer
notices something above Jad's head. A LASER PROJECTOR.
Witwer looks around, sees A JACKET COVERING A PIECE OF
EQUIPMENT ON THE BOOKSHELF. Knott comes into the room.
KNOTT:
You seen the latest polls? We're
dead even.
He sits on Anderton's desk, knocking over a photograph of
Anderton, his wife, and son.
KNOTT:
Even since Chief America ran away,
the numbers for Precrime have been
goin' up.
(looks at Fletcher)
People feel better, they know we're
willing to go after one of our own.
JAD:
More likely, people just want a
show like this every week.
Fletcher calmly rights the photograph, indicates the screen.
FLETCHER:
Here's where we're at. Three men
in a room. The victims here.
Anderton here, and this
unidentified male out the window.
The exterior of the adjacent
building suggests public housing,
but I can't make out the location.
Government architecture is
modern/conformist which means --
WITWER:
There's thousands of units like
this one.
FLETCHER:
(nods)
They're everywhere.
Witwer looks at the photograph of Anderton, Sean and Lara.
WITWER:
But he doesn't go there to kill
Crow for another twenty-two hours.
In the meantime, I'm betting he's
somewhere in the sprawl.
Jad and Fletcher exchange looks.
WITWER:
Anderton's smart enough to go where
electronic billboards and other
media can't ID him to pick his
pocket. There's fewer consumers
scanners to target him.
FLETCHER:
No offense, sir, but why wouldn't
he just run?
WITWER:
Because he thinks he's innocent.
Witwer pulls the jacket off and we see A HOLO-COMPUTER like
the one Anderton has at home.
WITWER:
We concentrate on the sprawl. We
do overflies in ships with two
spyder teams on the ground. Go
building by building. Thermal scan
the whole area, read anything with
eyes and a heartbeat.
Witwer switches the computer on and we see AN IMAGE OF LARA
IN A EVENING GOWN OPENING A PRESENT...
LARA:
John -- stop filming me.
Witwer watches as Lara, looks up at us, her face beautiful.
WITWER:
Where is she?
As Anderton walks up to one of the more decrepit-looking
buildings and then takes off into the night. A giant
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM VENT blows on him from above as he
takes a hit off an inhaler, tosses it aside and walks to the
entrance.
DR. EDDIE (V.O.)
Have a seat, Chief...
INT. DR. EDDIE'S "OPERATING" ROOM - DAY
A shitty little room with a single stained overstuffed chair
in the corner, a foul kitchen piled high with dirty dishes
and a grime-smeared window looking out onto another wall.
In the center of all this is a make-shift medical set-up: a
gleaming operating table, an array of lasers, scalpels and
other surgical and anesthesia equipment.
Anderton sits in a chair facing DR. SOLOMON EDDIE -- a skinny
man with a shock of hair on top, like an upended broom. Dr.
Eddie sneezes, blows his nose hard into a handkerchief.
DR. EDDIE
Damn cold won't go away.
Anderton glances about uneasily as the man sneezes again.
Dr. Eddie sees he's anxious and smiles.
DR. EDDIE
Don't worry. I could cut open your
chest, sew a dead cat in there and
you'd never get an infection. Not
with the spectrum of antibios I'll
be shooting into you.
ANDERTON:
That's comforting.
DR. EDDIE
You do understand I can't just give
you new irises. The scanners will
read the scar tissue. Alarms will
go off. Large men with guns will
appear...
ANDERTON:
Right. I know --
Anderton stiffens as Dr. Eddie injects him...
DR. EDDIE
Anesthesia. Try to relax, John.
(injecting)
I'm saying I'll have to remove your
eyes. Completely.
ANDERTON:
Yeah --
DR. EDDIE
And replace them with new ones.
ANDERTON:
I know that, but I wanna keep the
old ones.
DR. EDDIE
Why?
ANDERTON:
Because my mother gave them to me.
What do you care? They're no good
to you on the secondary market
anyway.
DR. EDDIE
Whatever you say, John.
Dr. Eddie holds out his hand and Anderton hands him a tiny
opalescent card.
DR. EDDIE
Greta!
Dr. Eddie yells something in SWEDISH and now into the room
walks a LARGE WOMAN in a white coat.
DR. EDDIE
This is Miss Van Eyck, my gorgeous
assistant.
She turns and giggles at Anderton and we see A MOLE on her
cheek the size of Bermuda.
ANDERTON:
Nice to meet you.
Miss Van Eyck slides the card into a small console, watches
the numbers flash up. She says something to Dr. Eddie who
looks at the numbers then frowns at Anderton.
DR. EDDIE
That's not much.
ANDERTON:
DR. EDDIE
Tell you what, since you and I go
way back, I'll give you my Old Pal
discount. How's that sound?
Anderton looks at him. "Go way back?"
DR. EDDIE
You don't remember me, do you?
ANDERTON:
We know each other?
