DR. EDDIE
Oh, yes.
Miss Van Eyck picks up a LASER SCALPEL, blows on the end to
clean it off, then hands it to Dr. Eddie who tests it on a
PIECE OF METAL. Anderton watching as it cuts right through.
ANDERTON:
From where? D.C.?
DR. EDDIE
Baltimore. Eastside.
(then)
Solomon P. Eddie M.D. I was a
plastic surgeon.
Anderton thinks a moment. The name rings a bell.
DR. EDDIE
I specialized in burn victims.
(then)
Women mostly.
ANDERTON:
I put you away --
DR. EDDIE
Yes, you did.
ANDERTON:
You made those tapes...
DR. EDDIE
(defensive)
They were performance pieces.
ANDERTON:
You set your patients on fire!
DR. EDDIE
And put them out. Some not as
quickly as others, but let's change
the subject, shall we? The future
is much more interesting than the
past. Don't you think?
Dr. Eddie walks over to a large medical cabinet and opens the
door. It's full of EYES and PARTS OF EYES -- all in cryo
jars. Anderton turns away. It's the last thing he wants to
see. Dr. Eddie studies them a moment, then...
Anderton watches as he and Miss Van Eyck confer in Swedish
and she starts giggling at whatever it is he said. The doc
himself has a smile on his face as he turns back around.
DR. EDDIE
Lie down, John.
Anderton hesitates, finally complies. Next thing he knows
Miss Van Eyck is smiling down on him, her big face hovering
above his like a planet. She smiles, then...
MISS VAN EYCK:
(the only English she
knows)
Hello.
ANDERTON:
Uh, hi --
DR. EDDIE
Try to relax, Chief.
Anderton counts to himself, listens to Dr. Eddie preparing
instrument trays, sharing another joke in Swedish with his
assistant. MORE GIGGLING O.S. Anderton looks over...
ANDERTON:
So uh, if you were a plastic
surgeon before...
DR. EDDIE
How can I do what I do now? Let's
just say I spent a lot of time in
the prison library.
Anderton turns and casts a groggy eye at Dr. Eddie to see if
he's serious, but the good doctor has his back to him as he
does his prep work.
DR. EDDIE
It was a great way to avoid some of
the more unpleasant aspects of
prison life.
(then)
Yes, confinement was a real
education, a real eye opener if you
will.
Anderton tries to get up, but Miss Van Eyck gently pushes him
down again.
MISS VAN EYCK:
No no no...
DR. EDDIE
I mean, for true enlightenment,
John, there's nothing quite like
the experience of, say, taking a
shower while a large felon with a
hard-on you can't knock down with a
hammer whispers in your --
ANDERTON:
(tries to sit up)
Uh, okay, you know what? I think
maybe I'll just --
But Anderton can't raise himself up: The drug is starting to
take effect. Dr. Eddie approaches with the LASER SCALPEL...
DR. EDDIE
Yes, it was a lot of fun. Thank
you so much, John, for putting me
there. For giving me the
opportunity to get to know myself
better. And now...
He clicks on the LASER, right in front of one of Anderton's
eyes...
DR. EDDIE
To return the favor...
And just as the LIGHT-BLADE is about to touch the eye, we go
to...
EXT. BEACH COTTAGE - CHESAPEAKE BAY - DAY
We see LARA, Anderton's ex-wife, standing on a ladder,
painting a weatherbeaten shutter. She looks older now. More
tired than in the images we've seen.
VOICE:
Lara?
She turns and we see Danny Witwer approaching. She watches
him come, climbs down the ladder.
WITWER:
My name is Danny Witwer. I'm --
LARA:
I know who you are.
She walks past him, goes into the cottage. He looks out at
the ocean a moment, then follows.
INT. COTTAGE - DAY
Simple, comfortable with an endless view of the sea. DOZENS
OF BLACK & WHITE PHOTOGRAPHS line the floor, hang from the
walls. Lara pours Witwer and herself a cup of coffee.
WITWER:
This your work?
LARA:
Yes.
We see that the photographs are all reportage shots of
CHILDREN.
WITWER:
I like it.
LARA:
Thanks. You take anything in your
coffee?
WITWER:
Cream and sugar.
LARA:
I don't have any cream. Sorry.
WITWER:
Just sugar then. You and John ever
come here?
LARA:
We used to, every summer.
WITWER:
He's not here now, is he?
She looks at him.
WITWER:
I had to ask.
She hands him his coffee.
LARA:
I don't have any sugar either.
WITWER:
(smiles)
Thank you.
(then)
He hasn't tried to contact you?
LARA:
No.
WITWER:
You ever heard him mention the name
Leo Crow?
LARA:
No, but then I don't talk to John
that much anymore.
WITWER:
So you haven't seen his apartment?
LARA:
That was our apartment.
WITWER:
Have you been there recently?
He takes A BLACK INHALER from his pocket...
WITWER:
It's full of these.
She stares at it.
WITWER:
How long's he been doping?
She turns away, takes a moment, then...
LARA:
Since right after we lost our son.
WITWER:
You mean after he lost your son.
LARA:
It was nobody's fault.
WITWER:
But John was with him at the pool?
LARA:
Yes.
Witwer watches her a moment, then...
WITWER:
You said in your divorce papers
that he tried to kill himself.
LARA:
It wasn't a suicide attempt. I
regret ever saying that.
WITWER:
What was it then?
