LARA:
belonged to my son.
(hard for her)
A sandal... Anyway, John was upset.
He... he...
WITWER:
He took out his gun and sat down to
watch his home movies. This is all
in your statement, Lara...
LARA:
He shot a hole in the damn ceiling.
So what? You lose your son, let's
see how well you handle it.
WITWER:
Not very well, I'm sure. I'd
probably start doping myself. Or
maybe I'd...
He looks at her photographs of children, but doesn't finish
his thought. She turns and looks at him. He meets her gaze.
WITWER:
Lamar Burgess thinks that you left
John because he lost himself in
Precrime instead of you.
LARA:
I left him because every time I
looked at him, I saw my son. Every
time I got close to him, I smelled
my little boy. That's why I left
him.
(then)
And now you can leave.
He puts down his coffee and looks at her.
WITWER:
You know I need to use you.
LARA:
To what? Trap him?
WITWER:
To prevent a murder. Sooner or
later, he's going to contact you.
LARA:
I haven't seen him in two years.
WITWER:
But I've seen the three hundred
hours of your image he's got stored
away.
She reacts to his as he moves up close to her.
WITWER:
(then)
And your son.
(then)
You have to choose, Lara. You have
A strange, near Zoetrope-like lighting effect on the walls
and ceiling as, outside, the MAGLEV cars go whizzing by. As
DR. EDDIE
Don't take the bandages off for
twelve hours. If you take them off
before then, you'll go blind. Do
you understand?
Anderton lies on a caved-in bed, his face swathed in a white
bandage.
DR. EDDIE
There's food in the refrigerator.
Make sure you drink a lot of water.
ANDERTON:
How do I find the --
DR. EDDIE
Here --
He takes Anderton's hand and places it on a ROPE that's tied
from the bedpost to the bathroom and the kitchen --
DR. EDDIE
It goes from the bathroom to the
kitchen.
ANDERTON:
(tries to sit up)
I can't even stand up --
DR. EDDIE
I know you're in a hurry, so I
juiced up the nano-reconstruction
around your new eyes.
ANDERTON:
The nano... what?
DR. EDDIE
Organic microbots that reconstruct
It'll feel like fleas chewing on
your eyeballs. But whatever you
do, don't scratch.
Anderton is already reaching his hands up to his bandages.
DR. EDDIE
Seeing as we're old pals and all,
I'm giving you a bonus, might come
in handy. Feel this.
Dr. Eddie takes an air-syringe from his pocket and touches it
to Anderton's hand.
DR. EDDIE
It's a temporary paralytic enzyme.
Shoot this baby under your chin.
Right here...
Dr. Eddie presses the tip into the soft underpart of
Anderton's chin. Anderton recoils.
DR. EDDIE
muscles to mush. You won't look
like the same man. You tighten up
again in about thirty minutes.
Hurts like nothing you ever felt.
(drops it in a bag)
I'll just drop it in your goodie
bag along with the uh...
He holds up the bag with Anderton's OLD EYES.
DR. EDDIE
... leftovers.
Next Dr. Eddie takes a small clock from his pocket and places
it on a dresser beside Anderton's bed.
DR. EDDIE
I'm setting up a timer. When it
goes off tomorrow, take off your
bandages and get the hell out of
here. But not before then, or
you'll --
ANDERTON:
-- go blind. I know.
He takes something from his pocket, puts it into Anderton's
hand. A BLACK INHALER.
DR. EDDIE
A little something from our mutual
friend.
VOICE:
That you, Chief?
Anderton turns towards the voice and we see LYCON standing in
the doorway, clutching his dirty sock full of inhalers, HIS
MANGY SEEING EYE DOG at his heel.
DR. EDDIE
I believe you know Lycon. I
purchase my more hard to get
pharmaceuticals from him. And, of
course, once upon a time he was
also a patient of mine. Like you.
LYCON:
Good luck, Chief.
And they start out of there, Lycon's dog bumping into the
wall on the way out. We hear the DOOR CLOSE O.S. Anderton
lies there, gripping the bed, listening to the TICK TICK TICK
of the timer. We now...
DISSOLVE TO:
As a Precrime ship cruises past the tenement.
INT. TENEMENT - DAY
It's only been a few hours. Anderton, still blindfolded by
his dressings, is unaware of the Precrime Ship that passes by
the open window, grimy curtains blowing in the breeze.
He takes the inhaler Dr. Eddie had left him from his pocket.
He feels it in his hand a moment, then takes a long hit.
He listens to the MUFFLED VOICES that float in through the
paper-thin walls; a cacophony of HUMAN SOUND above, below,
and all around him. TICK... TICK... TICK...
SEAN (V.O.)
How much time, Dad?
Now, gradually, LIGHT BEGINS TO FILL THE ROOM as we...
DISSOLVE TO:
Crowded. Laughing kids. Yelling Parents. Anderton stands
in the shallow end looking at his WATCH as his six-year-old
son breaks the surface of the water.
ANDERTON:
Twelve seconds. A new record.
The boy smiles, clings to the side.
SEAN:
Okay... now let me time you.
ANDERTON:
Are you kidding? There's
absolutely positively no way, on my
best day, I could ever beat twelve
seconds!
SEAN:
Come on!
