Minority Report Page #23
Knott speaks into a microphone on his collar --
KNOTT:
People, if you don't let the spyder
scan you, we'll have to come in and
arrest you.
FLETCHER:
Knott!
INT. ANDERTON'S ROOM - NIGHT
Anderton hears familiar voices O.S.
FLETCHERÕS VOICE
Please permit the spyder to scan
you --
Anderton bolts up from the chair. He quickly feels his way
over to the timer, feels the face: six more hours to go; he's
only halfway there. He stands there thinking a moment.
EXT. TENEMENT - NIGHT
Knott speaks once more into the microphone...
KNOTT:
Let's go, folks.
INT. ANDERTON'S ROOM - NIGHT
He follows the rope to the kitchen, opens the freezer and
reaches inside, feels a couple of ice trays. He grabs them.
WOMANÕS VOICE
There! Now get the hell out!
INT. BATHROOM - NIGHT
Anderton feels his way over to the filthy bathtub, turns on
the cold water, dumps the contents of the ice tray inside.
EXT. TENEMENT - NIGHT
Knott checks off another, looks up at the building.
KNOTT:
One more...
INT. ANDERTON'S ROOM - NIGHT
Anderton grabs whatever's cold from the fridge -- sodas,
fruit, water, sandwiches -- starts to carry it all into the
bathroom. On the way he trips over the guide rope and drops
all of the cold stuff onto the floor.
INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT
The spyder comes out of the apartment next door, moves down
towards Anderton's door.
INT. BATHROOM - NIGHT
Anderton dumps the stuff from the fridge into the tub. Peels
off his clothes.
INT. ANDERTON'S ROOM - NIGHT
As the Spyder flattens out and eases under the door.
INT. BATHROOM - NIGHT
As Anderton climbs into the ice cold tub, reaches over and
shuts the bathroom door as...
THE SPYDER:
Turns toward the sound of the water shutting off. As it
moves towards the bathroom door, it begins to fold its legs
INT. BATHROOM - HIGH ANGLE - NIGHT
Anderton lowers his head under the water, just as the spyder
comes under the door and into the bathroom.
INT. HOVERSHIP - NIGHT
As Evanna looks at the thermal scanner.
EVANNA:
We lost one --
FLETCHER (RADIO)
Cat maybe, went out the window.
EVANNA:
Awful big cat...
INT. BATHROOM - NIGHT
Anderton HOLDS HIS BREATH. The Spyder finally turns to
leave. Begins to flatten itself out to go back under the
door...
INT. HOVERSHIP - NIGHT
As Evanna watches the scan, turns and looks at the building.
INT. TENEMENT - NIGHT
As Anderton lets a single bubble of air escape his lips. We
watch it rise to the surface... then burst with the tiniest
sounding:
BLIP!THE SPYDER:
Hears it. Stops cold. Begins to EMIT A LOW BEEPING SOUND.
INT. HALLWAY - THE OTHER SPYDERS
Also begin EMITTING THE SAME SOUND, stop, turn and head off
in the same direction.
INT. HOVERSHIP - NIGHT
As Evanna starts to get a signal.
EVANNA:
Wait a minute...
INT. BATHROOM - NIGHT
Anderton continues holding his breath underwater.
A HIGH ANGLE:
As now SEVEN MORE SPYDERS come under the bathroom door.
FROM UNDER THE WATER - ANDERTON'S POV
Looking up at the lip of the bathtub, we SEE THE HEAD OF A
SPYDER SLOWLY APPEAR JUST OVER THE EDGE OF THE TUB...
THE HIGH ANGLE:
As the Spyder rises over the edge of the tub and we see not
that it has grown, but that it is ACTUALLY STANDING ON THE
BACKS OF THE OTHER SEVEN SPYDERS...
EXT. TENEMENT - NIGHT
Knott looks at the scanner.
INT. HOVERSHIP - NIGHT
As Evanna tries to read the scanner...
EVANNA:
What do you think, guys, a drunk
maybe, can't wake up?
EXT. TENEMENT - NIGHT
FLETCHER:
Or a guy who doesn't want to get
read. Stand by. We're gonna go
take a look...
They grab their helmets and go into the building.
INT. BATHROOM - NIGHT
Anderton sits up. He feels one of the spyder's legs grab
hold of his cheek and try to read his eye through the
bandages. It WHIRS and HUMS trying to adjust its antenna.
ANDERTON:
Please...
It STINGS HIM. He jumps back. Then he reaches up and
gently, slowly, pulls down the bandages over one eye while
the spyder moves in closer to read it.
INT. TENEMENT - NIGHT
As Fletcher and Knott run up the stairs...
INT. BATHROOM - NIGHT
Anderton forces his eye open and lets in the BLINDING LIGHT.
ANDERTON:
Oh, God...
The spyder takes forever. Anderton's eye starts to go milky
as the color and iris disintegrate. The pain is unbearable.
The spyder finally backs off --
Fletcher and Knott come out of the stairwell, run up to
ANDERTON'S DOOR when they HEAR AN INDICATOR, see that the
Spyder has now gotten a reading. They stop, look down as...
All eight spyders come under the bottom of Anderton's door
and start back down the hallway...
KNOTT:
Let's eat.
DISSOLVE TO:
A BLURRY IMAGE:
We hear THE MURMUR OF VOICES. Gradually, we begin to
FOCUS... objects whizzing by us... PEOPLE all around... it's
hard to see... it's all piled on top of each other...
REVEAL:
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMAnderton wears new clothing now. He has dark sunglasses. He
waits for the subway to pull into the station. He watches
people getting on and off, all of them read by the EYEdent
scanner, the scanner light silently going from red to green
as they pass.
Anderton takes a breath, gets on, relaxes as the scanner
light turns green.
He finds an empty seat and sits down. He lowers his head,
taking off his glasses and gently massages his eyes. When he
looks up, he sees...
A MOTHER AND CHILD. Blurry. Anderton's depth perception is
all flattened out. We can't tell, though, that they're both
staring this way, the kid pointing now...
KID:
Look at his eye --
The mother hushes him up, points out the window at some sight
to distract him.
Anderton turns and now WE SEE HIS EYES. One of them is
milky. The other is deep brown.
Both are red around the sockets from Dr, Eddie's rush job.
Anderton turns and sees his blurred reflection in the window
and quickly puts his sunglasses back on.
INT. ANDERTON'S OFFICE - DAY
Witwer sits at the desk screen studying the different images
from the Prevision of Anderton murdering Leo Crow:
Anderton holding the gun. The shadowy figure of Leo Crow by
the window. The face in sunglasses outside the window.
He then pans about the room: A bed. A table. A mirror.
There's Anderton. Wait -- he goes back to the mirror. He
leans close to the screen. Pushes in. And now we see it: A
FIGURE STANDING IN THE MIRROR. Blurry. But there.
WITWER:
Fletcher!
EXT. PLAZA NEAR GOVERNMENT BUILDING - DAY
