JAE:
Wait a minute --
JAIME:
(overlapping, alarmed)
What? Signing on for what?
JONAS:
You have strength, speed and skills
that no one can match. We need you.
And I hear Korea's lovely this time
of year.
JAIME:
You're joking, right? You don't -I
can't do anything like that. I
mean, it's ridiculous -
RUTH:
Actually, your onboard programming
has most major combat techniques,
including small arms and basic weapons
systems.
37.
JAIME:
I'm sorry, did you just say
"programming?"
RUTH:
Didn't Masters go over the specs
with you? It's all in your neural
interface hardware -
(off her blank look)
You know, the stuff he put in your
brain.
Jaime takes an involuntary step BACKWARDS. She's SHAKEN to
the core by the idea of something put into her brain.
JAIME:
You're wrong. There's -- I'm not,
I've never even touched a gun, I
don't know how to fight -
And without warning, Jae GRABS UP a PIPE WRENCH from the
workbench next to them and SLAMS it right for Jaime's head.
And what happens next just takes a HEARTBEAT.
Faster than thought, Jaime BLOCKS the heavy wrench with her
forearm, TWISTS her wrist expertly, GRABS the wrench -- and
then SMASHES Jae down to the floor, raising the wrench -
With a CLATTER, the SPEC OPS GUYS bring guns TO BEAR on Jaime -
JONAS:
Hold your fire!
-- and Jaime STARTS, jarred out of her trance-like combat to
find herself holding Jae down, wrench raised over him --
She FREEZES, their faces INCHES APART -- but Jae doesn't
look afraid, he's just STARING at her with flat assessment.
JAE:
(hoarse whisper)
You gonna kill me, Sommers?
Jaime JUMPS back, like his touch BURNS her. Her hand CLENCHES
the wrench, CRUSHING it with a SCREAM of protesting metal.
JONAS:
(furious, to Jae)
What the hell was that?
Jae gets painfully to his feet, rubbing his bruised throat.
JAE:
Just making a point.
(MORE)
38.
JAE (CONT'D)
(to Jaime, ironic)
Nice disarm -- you do a lot of close-
quarters combat?
Jaime LETS GO of the wrench, which drops heavily to the floor.
Ruth GLARES at Jae, then turns to Jaime, concerned.
RUTH:
(reassuring)
You're ok, all right? You're
practically indestructible -
(nods toward Jae)
-- and he's a jerk. You're ok.
Jaime looks numbly down at her ARM -- not even BRUISED.
RUTH (CONT'D)
Your bionic skin is a polyamide
composite that can withstand impact
pressures in excess of 10 tons psi,
and temperatures of over 500 degrees
Celsius.
(pragmatically)
Of course, the rest of your body
would be crushed into pulp and burned
to ashes... but Masters always had a
tendency to overdesign -
Jaime backs to the door, it's all TOO MUCH, looks to Jonas:
JAIME:
I can't help you. I can't.
She turns and EXITS. Jonas gives Jae an EXASPERATED look -
JONAS:
Bloody useless, you are.
JAE:
This is not a good idea, and you
know it -
RUTH:
(irritably)
Oh, zip it back up, both of you.
INT. CORRIDOR -- DAY
Jaime hurries down the sterile corridor, looking one way,
then another, like a rat desperate to exit a MAZE -- and she
reaches a LARGE DOUBLE DOOR at the end of the hallway.
She pulls on the doors -- they don't open -- and her
frustration EXPLODES as she grabs one door and PUSHES with
all her might. The door holds for a second -- then BUCKLES
outward, the locks SHEARING off as the door BURSTS OPEN -
39.
EXT. GROUNDS OUTSIDE COMPLEX -- DAY
-- to reveal SUNLIGHT and TREES, the hilly terrain surrounding
the complex. Jaime STEPS OUTSIDE.
JONAS AND RUTH are looking at a security GRID on one of her
monitors, Jae looking over their shoulders.
RUTH:
She's gone out E16, onto the grounds.
JAE:
She's totally untrained. I can get
JONAS:
No.
(to Ruth)
Keep the cameras on her, remote
surveillance only. No one approaches. *
EXT. GROUNDS OUTSIDE THE COMPLEX -- DAY
Jaime turns her face to the sun, just FEELING the light and
warmth on her -- then she starts to RUN.
She skims over the rocky earth, ground FLYING beneath her
feet, RUNNING through the dappled trees, going FASTER and
FASTER. There's something FIERCE and DESPERATE in her face.
JONAS, JAE and RUTH watching the IMAGES on the monitor:
RUTH:
She's picking up speed.
(checking readouts)
A lot of speed.
EXT. GROUNDS OUTSIDE COMPLEX -- DAY
JAIME goes FASTER -- VFX/SFX as we SHIFT into BIONIC RUNNING.
Think the GRACE of "MATRIX" slowmotion, but INTERRUPTED by
quick CUTS of Jaime RACING almost faster than the eye can
follow -- a terrible sense of SPEED and POWER, as we see her
FLASHING between the trees.
RUTH:
Fifty miles an hour -- sixty -
40.
EXT. GROUNDS OUTSIDE COMPLEX -- DAY
JAIME flashes over the uneven terrain, RACING faster, as if
she's fleeing MONSTERS that only she can see -
-- and in her face -- frightened, desperate, determined all
at once -- we feel the ECHO of how she RAN when her parents
died, RACING to get away from something that can't be escaped.
RUTH:
Seventy -- eighty-five -
JONAS:
Jesus.
RUTH:
She's turning back toward the complex.
JAE:
Headed where? *
ERIC is working in a large MEDICAL LAB, totally ALONE -when
the door BURSTS open from the other side, the heavy
lock RIPPED away from the wall. Jaime looks at Eric. *
JAIME:
I need to talk to you.
ERIC:
Are you ok?
JAIME:
"Ok?" A few hours ago, I could barely
walk. Now I'm faster than a speeding -maybe
not a bullet, but, you know,
at least a car -- I can crush steel -and
a few minutes ago, I nearly
murdered a man, before I even realized
what I was doing.
(bleak, desperate)
Eric --I almost killed another human
being with my bare hands.
ERIC:
Jaime -
JAIME:
They said you put things in my brain.
Is it true? That you put something
inside me that taught me how to kill?
Eric takes a deep breath. Only the truth matters now.
41.
ERIC:
I microscopically inserted several *
separate chips in different parts of *
your brain. If I hadn't, you couldn't *
use your arm or legs --*
JAIME:
I don't need to mutilate people with
them!
ERIC:
(frustrated)
The technology was developed for
military applications, ok? The combat
loading wasn't removable -- there
was no time!
(admitting)
You're hardwired with the skills of
a soldier.
Jaime can't quite believe what she's hearing. She's beginning
to doubt EVERYTHING she thought she knew about Eric.
JAIME:
Did you know? That Bledsoe would
want me to work for him, to fight
people for him, to join the freaking
Testosterone Brigade?
ERIC:
I knew it was possible -
(earnestly)
-- but I didn't care. I thought it
was a fair trade, for a life -
JAIME:
But you didn't trade your life. You
traded mine.
