Minority Report Page #26

ANDERTON:

Are you cold?

He moves to put his coat over her and she looks at his HAND.

ANDERTON:

Can you understand me?

She holds onto his hand, is fixated by it.

ANDERTON:

It's the drugs. They'll wear off

in a few hours.

She looks up, stares out the window now at the world she's

never been a part of.

ANDERTON:

I'm sorry, but I need your help.

You contain information. I need to

know how to get it.

(then)

Can you just tell me who Leo Crow

is? Can you tell me if --

AGATHA:

Is it now?

ANDERTON:

What?

AGATHA:

Is it now?

He looks outside, understands what she means. Then...

ANDERTON:

Yes... this is all happening right

now.

She nods, closes her eyes.

AGATHA:

I'm tired...

(then)

I'm tired of the future.

INT. MALL CITY - DAY

Anderton's vehicle pulls up in front of a GAP.

INT. LEXUS - DAY

As Anderton turn to Agatha.

AGATHA:

I have to take you someplace, in

public, which means I have to get

you something... else to wear.

She stares out the window, doesn't respond...

ANDERTON:

I'll hurry.

INT. THE GAP - DAY

As Anderton walks in the door, gets his new eyes scanned, and

we hear a voice say:

STORE VOICE:

Hello, Mr. Yakamoto! Welcome back

to the Gap.

Anderton stops cold as a HOLOGRAPHIC IMAGE OF A HUGE ASIAN

MAN now appears standing in front of him.

STORE VOICE:

How'd those assorted tank tops work

out for you?

Anderton stops and stares at the thug-like previous owner of

his eyes who's now shown wearing a sweater that changes from

color to color.

STORE VOICE:

Come on in and see how good you

look in one of our new Winter

sweaters.

INT. LEXUS - DAY

Agatha leans out the window, experiencing the world outside

for the first time in years. A group of TEENAGERS walking

by. A WOMAN pushing A BABY in a pram.

A MAN WALKING A DOG. The dog turns to Agatha, now trying to

pull his master over to her...

She turns to the street and watches people going by on

bicycles and inside other vehicles.

But for Agatha, it is not a peaceful scene at all. She sees

only death, pain and suffering. The world is overwhelming.

She turns away, watches as RAINDROPS fall on the windshield.

She rolls down the window and sticks her head out to feel the

rain.

She listens to the now-soothing sounds of the rain mixed with

laughter mixed with the baby crying mixed with the snippets

of conversation she hears all around her. Then:

WE HEAR A JACKHAMMER

And Agatha turns to A CONSTRUCTION SITE across the way. A

HUGE BUILDING is going up.

A CRANE hoists a bundle of steal GIRDERS up to the top of the

site.

A TEENAGE BOY walks to a bicycle locked to a fence in front

of the site. She closes her eyes and shudders, then sits up,

steels herself and calls to the boy...

AGATHA:

(barely)

Nathan --

The boy keeps going.

AGATHA:

(tries again, louder)

Nathan!

The TEENAGE BOY stops as he gets to the bike, looks at her.

AGATHA:

Come here.

The Boy sees this pretty face inside a vehicle beckoning him,

looks around to make sure she meant him, then comes over.

BOY/NATHAN

Do I know you?

AGATHA:

Hold my hand.

As she reaches for him, Nathan sees she must be blind.

NATHAN:

What?

AGATHA:

Please, Nathan, hold my hand.

The teenager sees she's only wearing Anderton's jacket...

NATHAN:

Whoa --

Agatha reaches out and takes his hand and holds onto it.

Something pulses through him. He looks at her, afraid...

NATHAN:

Who are you?

INT. THE GAP - DAY

As Anderton walks out with his purchases...

STORE VOICE:

Thanks for shopping at the Gap, Mr.

Yakamoto.

ANDERTON:

Sayonara.

INT./ EXT. LEXUS - DAY

Agatha looks up at Nathan, into his eyes, who tries to pull

his hand away.

NATHAN:

Look, whoever you are --

We hear SOMEONE SHOUT and the teenager boy wheels around

as...

A STEEL BEAM:

Falls from the construction site, landing directly on

Nathan's bicycle. Nathan stares in horror at where he would

have been had he not come over to Agatha. She lets go of his

hand.

AGATHA:

You can go now.

Anderton comes out of the store, looks at the crushed bike, a

CROWD gathering around it. Oblivious to what's just

happened, he walks past the stunned kid.

ANDERTON:

Excuse me.

INT. ANDERTON'S OFFICE - DAY

As Witwer sits there staring at the image, the rest of the

team gathers in the office.

JAD:

What's he want with a precog?

FLETCHER:

He knows we can't operate without

her. He's gonna ransom her.

JAD:

Where's the note?

Witwer gets up and turns on the HOLO-COMPUTER. AN IMAGE OF

SEAN (age 6) appears.

JAD:

If he's ransoming her, where's the

damn note?

SEAN:

(jumping between ages)

He, Dad! How's... your... day?

Hey, look what I built! Thanks...

for... helping... me... I... love

you... Daddy.

Witwer stares at it.

WITWER:

It has nothing to do with ransom.

It has to do with the information

that's inside of her.

They all look at him.

WITWER:

He's trying to prove his innocence.

FLETCHER:

He can't download her without a lot

of technical help.

WITWER:

(staring at the image)

No. He can't...

Suddenly, Witwer begins to tear apart the computer. He pulls

off the cover, looks at the components inside, rips one out,

then tosses it aside. He rips out another, sees a NAME

PRINTED on the bottom: PATENT PENDING - RUFUS T. RILEY.

WITWER:

Who's Rufus T. Riley?

INT. RUFUS' DREAMWEAVER HEADSPA - DAY

CUSTOMERS in dark corners, wearing bladdered bodysuits and

tiny headsets, act out various fantasies.

RUFUS:

What's your pleasure?

RUFUS RILEY -- heavy, goateed, ponytail down to his waist and

a name tag that says "HI! I'M RUFUS!" -- shows a NERVOUS

CUSTOMER around the place.
