Minority Report Page #28

ANDERTON:

What happened? Where's the rest?

RUFUS:

I guess that's all of it.

Anderton looks at Agatha, her expression calm.

ANDERTON:

Is there a Minority Report?

She just looks at him. A what?

ANDERTON:

An alternate future. Do I have

one?

She looks at where the images were projected a moment ago.

AGATHA:

No.

Anderton is about to turn away. She takes his hand, as she

did in the temple, and suddenly the room is full of IMAGES:

AGATHA:

Can you see?

Every single one of the images is the same: THE SCREAMING

FACE OF...

ANDERTON:

Anne Lively...

Anderton looks at Agatha. Her face is contorted in the same

way as the image. Suddenly, there's a RUSH OF IMAGES, we

glimpse only some of them, TWO FIGURES STRUGGLING, a SPLASH.

ANNE LIVELY DROWNING. Then nothing...

ANDERTON:

Why are you showing me this? What

do you want me to see?

She doesn't move, a single TEAR rolls down her cheek.

ANDERTON:

Rufus, play it back...

RUFUS:

Uh, I'll try...

And now we see the FOLLOWING IMAGES ALL PLAYING BACKWARDS...

Anne Lively being drown, but now she comes OUT OF THE LAKE...

backwards. We see Anne Lively on the ground by the lake,

struggling with A MASKED FIGURE. Suddenly, the FIGURE POPS

up and RUNS BACKWARDS. She pops up a second later (a STUMBLE

IN REVERSE) and runs BACKWARDS. Now we see an OVERCOAT BEING

PUT ON, TURNING INSIDE OUT, FROM DARK TO LIGHT.

Anderton looks about the room, THE IMAGES ALL AROUND HIM.

The dark figure is just ABOUT TO TAKE OFF THE MASK when --

THE IMAGES STOP and Agatha holds on tight to him.

ANDERTON:

What?

AGATHA:

They're inside.

ANDERTON:

Who?

Suddenly, a red light flashes on the wall. Rufus scrambles

to a security monitor.

RUFUS:

Your old Teammates.

INSERT MONITOR:
Witwer leads a team through the parlor.

INT. NEUROPLEX - DAY

Witwer and the Precrime team move through the parlor.

WITWER:

Check every room.

INT. BASEMENT CORRIDOR - DAY

As Rufus leads them down a long, dark corridor and up a

flight of stairs...

RUFUS:

You come up just outside the sprawl

on Millhouse.

EXT. OUTDOOR CLOTHING MARKET - DAY

Anderton and Agatha come through a hidden door and hurry

through the market. She stops at one of the stalls...

AGATHA:

Can you see the umbrella?

Anderton looks at A STALL SELLING UMBRELLAS.

AGATHA:

Take it.

ANDERTON:

Agatha...

He buys an umbrella from the vendor, then drags her off.

INT. INNER CITY - MALL - DAY

As they move through the crowded inner city shopping area.

She has trouble keeping up. She looks ahead, something in

her eyes, then...

AGATHA:

Can you see the man in the blue

suit?

Sure enough a MAN walking by in the other direction is

wearing a blue suit.

AGATHA:

He drops his briefcase.

He drops his briefcase, spilling all kinds of papers all over

the sidewalk, including a NEWSPAPER WITH ANDERTON'S PHOTO.

AGATHA:

A woman in a brown dress is going

to come out of the door up ahead.

This happens.

AGATHA:

Wait -- she knows you face. Turn

in here.

The WOMAN looks at Anderton, squints, but before she can make

any kind of determination as to who he is and why he looks

sort of familiar, Anderton and the Precog have gone into...

A PET SHOP:

They move through the store, jammed with all kinds of

animals, including FOXES and shrieking EXOTIC BIRDS. They go

through the back door and come out...

IN A DIFFERENT SECTION OF THE MALL

As Anderton starts to lead her around a corner, she stops.

Anderton looks around, sees A PRECOP on the UPPER LEVEL.

ANDERTON:

Agatha --

AGATHA:

Can you see the balloon man?

ANDERTON:

What?

PRECOP'S POV - FROM THE UPPER LEVEL

As the cop scans the mall. He's about to spot Anderton and

Agatha when A BALLOON VENDOR comes around the corner where

they're waiting and blocks the cops view. He moves on.

ANDERTON & AGATHA

Start walking again.

AGATHA:

This way...

She leads him underneath the PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE.

AGATHA:

Stop.

We now BOOM UP to the TOP OF THE BRIDGE where we see Knott

moving to the side, leaning over the rail and peering down...

ON ANDERTON & AGATHA

She gently pulls Anderton further under the bridge so that...

ON THE BRIDGE - KNOTT

Can't see them when he looks down. They're a foot or two out

of his sightline. He then moves to the other side of the

bridge and peers down as...

AGATHA:

Now leads Anderton a step or two back the other way, so that

again...

KNOTT:

Just misses seeing them. He moves off across the bridge.

ANDERTON & AGATHA

Hurry through the mall now.

A BUM in one of the doorways begs for change. They walk past

him...

BUM:

May the Devil take you as his

bride!

A few steps later, Agatha stops IN FRONT OF A DOOR.

AGATHA:

Drop some money.

ANDERTON:

Forget that guy --

AGATHA:

Do it. Right here. On the ground.

Anderton reaches into his pocket, drops some change on the

ground. Agatha looks back at the Bum who turns towards them

upon hearing the sound of the coins hitting the ground. She

then leads Anderton off...

BUM:

May God Bless You!

The Bum comes over, bends down IN FRONT OF A DOOR just as IT

OPENS INTO HIM, knocking him over, and TWO PRECOPS burst out

and TOPPLE OVER HIM.

EXT. STREET - DAY

As Anderton and Agatha exit the mall and IT STARTS RAINING.

Anderton OPENS THE UMBRELLA along with the dozens of people

around him just as...

EXT. UPPER LEVEL - DAY

As Fletcher leads some cops outside, they look down, but all

they can see is a sea of umbrellas below them.

EXT. STREET - DAY

As Agatha and Anderton walk along the street. Behind them

the way is blocked off with buildings. There's only one way

out:
Straight ahead. They start for it.

Suddenly KNOTT COMES OUT OF A BUILDING IN FRONT OF THEM AND

STARTS WALKING IN FRONT OF THEM. Anderton starts to turn

around... Agatha pulls on his arm.

AGATHA:

No. Follow him.

ANDERTON:

He'll turn around.

AGATHA:

He won't.
