On the edge of the future Page #13

MADINA (STOPPING) I'm afraid, but I can't help anyone with fear. Even to myself. Any outcome is a reward for me. After all, I'm on the side of justice.

INT. CORRIDOR – DAY

Aziz screams and is shot at point-blank range. He's angry. There are tears in his eyes. Screaming shoots. Kills several soldiers. The soldiers are also shooting. Lola sits down in the shelter. Looks straight without blinking. She's depressed. Grieving and does not know how to react. Bunyod wants to cover Aziz by pulling his sleeve. Lola, rising from hiding, shoots. She need to help Aziz, he can do stupid things. Aziz continues to shoot. The soldiers are also in his direction.

Bunyod and Lola shoot from cover. Aziz shoots standing up, he doesn't want to hide. He's lost. Furious.

A bullet hits his chest. He's falling. Bunyod catches him and lands him in a shelter and shoots further. Lola holds Aziz's wound. He's wheezing. Gurgling sounds come out of his chest. Hit the lungs. And a lot of blood comes out of his mouth. His eyes close, he barely lifts them. Bunyod, looking forward, continues to shoot. Lola looks towards the half-open door of the city. Aziz too. If they don't get in there, it's all over. Aziz understands everything. He will pull Bunyod's sleeves.

AZIZ (WHEEZING)

Go on, I'll cover you.

BUNYOD (DUSTS OFF HIS HAND)

No. No way.

And keeps shooting. He doesn't want to hear it. He doesn't want to lose him. He feels helpless.

AZIZ (SHOUTING)

I'm going to die anyway.

BUNYOD (SHOUTING) No.

Despite him, he continues to shoot. There are tears in his eyes. Aziz will pull him hard by the sleeves.

AZIZ (QUIETLY)

It's not your fault.

His eyes open and close.

Lola rising shoots from hiding. Two soldiers shoot from the door. They take cover when Lola shoots.

BUNYOD (CRYING) Sorry.

Aziz squeezes his collar tightly and brings him closer to himself. Hugs him slowly and slaps him on the shoulder with force.

Lets go.

AZIZ (RISING THROUGH THE FORCE)

About three go away.

He picks up two pistols. Lola's pistol and his pistol.

AZIZ:

One. Two. Three.

He forces himself to get up and, screaming in pain, lays his chest on the stretcher and starts shooting. Blood is coming out of his mouth. The soldiers are hiding behind the door.

Bunyod and Lola quickly reach the door.

INT. THE CITY INSIDE

And they close it from the inside. Bunyod will hit the door with force. He leans his forehead against the door, breathing heavily. He was forced to leave his best friend. He gives free rein to his feelings for a second. Then he pulls himself together. He takes Lola by the elbows and walks towards the corridor. In the city, people go back and forth. Lola looks at them and looks at Bunyod. He feels broken, but he goes. Lola begins to sob. She blames herself. Bunyod looks at her and drags her into one of the doors. He looks inside. Comes in.

INT. ROOM

At the door, he holds her by the shoulders and turns her towards him.

BUNYOD (ATTENTIVELY LOOKING INTO HER EYES, FROWNS)

Why are you crying?

LOLA (CRYING AND STUTTERING)

I. I. They are because of me. Sorry.

BUNYOD (SHAKES HER A LITTLE)

It's not your fault. You hear me. No one is to blame here. We were ready for this. We have been waiting for this moment for years and were ready to die for it. If I have to sacrifice myself, I'll die for it too. And for you, too.

He looks at her eyes. He confessed his feelings. Lola looks up and looks at him in response, ceasing to cry. She hadn't expected such words from him.

LOLA:

Don't die for me. Please live.

Hugs him. He stands there not knowing what to do. She kisses him on the cheek. And slowly pulls away. He looks at her lips and holding both cheeks approaches. She closes her eyes. He touches her forehead with his forehead and closes his eyes. She opens her eyes. We make a circle next to each other.

Then Bunyod, without looking at her, pulls away and taking her by the hand pulls her towards the exit.

Lola looks at their entwined hands, smiles.

INT. CORRIDOR

Holding hands , they pass through the corridor and

INT. STAIRS

go up through the stairs. In the corridor near one door they stop. Buned releasing her hand gives a sign that she should stay here. She nods. Buned walks in the door with a gun in front. Lola is standing.

BUNYOD (OUTSIDE THE DOOR)

Come in.

INT. NIGHT'S ROOM

Lola comes in. Passes through Bunyod, who was holding a gun at the ready. He's aiming towards Night.

Lola looks around the room. She's surprised. Looks around. Looks at the interior, furniture, Farrukh and Night. They are sitting at the table.

Night watches Lola's every move without blinking. Lola notices this and immediately gets down to business.

LOLA:

I came here so that you would leave people alone and open the gates. Also send me back.

Night sits in silence.

FARRUKH (RISING FROM HIS SEAT)

Why? To make people extinct from the virus? Are you out of your mind?

Bunyod points down at him with the muzzle of a gun. Farrukh sits back down.

LOLA:

There is no virus of any kind. I don't know why, but he's deceiving everyone. Outside, people are not infected. They live without water and food, so they throw themselves at people. It was you who blocked their water. There is a severe drought outside. People kill each other for a piece of food and a sip of water. Why? They trusted you. And you let them down.

Night is silent. Lola plays with the muscles on her cheekbones. She understands that Night is not going to repent. Bunyod points his gun at Farrukh. He makes a sign to rise and points towards the time machine. He wants him to launch it. Farrukh slowly gets up and goes there looking back at Night. Bunyod nods his head at Lola, looking at her robe. Lola nods in response and takes off her robe, remaining in a T-shirt and pants. Bunyod gives her his gun in her hands and pushes the slowly walking Farrukh towards the time machine so that he moves faster. Lola stands aiming at Night. She understands that it is necessary to do what was planned.

She tightens her grip on the gun in her hands and looks at Night. She's nervous. He closes his eyes. He's already resigned. Lola takes a deep breath. Her hands are shaking. He closes his eyes. Slowly pulls the trigger, but changes his mind at the last second. Takes a breath while lowering the gun. She couldn't. Three soldiers come in.

SOLDIER 1

The city was penetrated.

They see Lola and Bunyod. Quickly picking up the pistols point at them. Bunyod runs to Lola's side, trying to hide her. Soldier 2 will hit him in the shoulder with a pistol. He sits on his knees writhing in pain and holding the place of impact. Soldier 3 and soldier 2 lift him by the armpits.

SOLDIER 1

It was them. What should we do with them?
