BRUCE:
This is New York. No one notices
anyone. Not even when someone
disappears. At first it was the guy who
was caught trying to steal McCay's Jag.
Then it was dirty accountants that
tried to walk away with millions. The
Old Man got such a rush from it, I
thought that he would start trying to
send me people who used the copier
after hours.
SAUNDRA:
How can you just take a life ? I mean
it's a life, life is so precious. How
does it feel ?
BRUCE:
What do you do with the company, if I
might ask ?
SAUNDRA:
I'm in charge of the conversions.
(beat)
When First Bank buys another smaller
bank, I'm in charge of converting them
to our systems and way of doing things.
BRUCE:
So when you took those jobs away last
October from the Mid West Central, and
that guy killed himself, how did it
make you feel ?
The water is to their waists now.
SAUNDRA:
(very surprised that he
knows)
I... I .....
BRUCE:
You didn't think about it did you ? I
read your file. It said you had a
nervous breakdown.
SAUNDRA:
I wanted to let his family know....
BRUCE:
Know what ? That it was your fault ?
SAUNDRA:
It wasn't my fault. I was just part of
a team. I was doing my job...
BRUCE:
So was I. So don't give me any sh*t.
Your business is just as bad. At least
I'm up front about it. You kill people
slowly. Your corporate take overs can
decimate a families livelihood over a
year sometimes two. Now you know how it
feels.
Saundra just turns away and faces the wall.
INT. CONTROL ROOM, MURDERLAND
Johnny is finishing off a bag of chips, pouring them
straight into his mouth from the bag.
ZACH:
That is repugnant. You have the habits
of a goat.
JOHNNY:
ZACH:
Ach ! How will you know if they've made
it ?
JOHNNY:
The room will fill to the top, then if
they wind up in the next room, they
lived, if not, they're dead.
INT. WATER TANK ROOM, MURDERLAND - NIGHT
The water is up to their neck.
BRUCE:
Just remember, hold your breath as long
as you can. Then go right over to that
corner. The door will open and go in
and up.
SAUNDRA:
Okay.
The water is going over their heads now.
Bruce takes a deep breath and goes under. Saundra holds
out till the last possible second.
These thirty seconds are the longest of their lives. The
pressure on their lungs is enormous. Just when the panic
begins to set in, the door opens. Bruce pushes Saundra
through then follows through.
INT. EXIT ROOM, MURDERLAND - NIGHT
Saundra rises to the surface and gasps for air. Bruce
comes up and does the same.
SAUNDRA:
You okay ?
BRUCE:
Fine...
INT. CONTROL ROOM, MURDERLAND
JOHNNY:
Sh*t they made it.
He hands over another five dollar bill to Zach.
ZACH:
Thank you very much.
JOHNNY:
(into microphone)
Goddamn it Bruce, you've cost me about
thirty dollars so far.
INT. EXIT ROOM, MURDERLAND - NIGHT
Bruce looks up at the video camera. It's too high up to
hit. He scorns.
JOHNNY:
(over the P/A)
Why don't you just stop f***ing around
and just die !
BRUCE:
I'm sick of playing. I've got a better
idea.
Bruce walks under the camera. He motions for Saundra to
follow. He opens a panel off of the wall. In there is a
small service tunnel. Inside is a shotgun and two
pistols. He hands her a pistol.
INT. CONTROL ROOM, MURDERLAND
On the moniter we see Bruce re-enter the frame.
JOHNNY:
I thought I lost you there for a second
boss man.
On the moniter we see Bruce raise the shotgun and aim it
directly at the camera.
JOHNNY:
Uh, oh.
Johnny drops the bag of chips.
On the moniter we see the screen go blank.
JOHNNY:
Uh oh.
INT. EXIT ROOM, MURDERLAND - NIGHT
BRUCE:
If we can get to through the next room,
we'll be at a junction for a power
grid.
