The One Page #2

Synopsis: There is not one universe, but there are many, which is a multiverse. Supposing you are just one person, there are many other versions of you in the other universes, there are ways to travel, but only a police agency, MVA, can travel only for police procedures. Gabriel Yulaw is a former MVA agent, who killed another version of himself in self-defense. It made the other versions of him stronger. When Yulaw found out about this, he became power-hungry killing the 122 other versions for two years. After killing Lawless and getting captured by his former partner Roedecker and a new MVA agent Funsch, Yulaw managed to escape the prison and is trying to kill his last target, Gabe Law who is a police officer. He is also at Yulaw's strength. Roedecker and Funsch now have to arrest Yulaw before he can kill Gabe. There is a possibility that the universe could die or make Yulaw invincible. After encountering Yulaw for the first time, Gabe thought that it was his split personality, but it wasn't. W

I don't want to lose my job.

I don't want to lose you.

Mrs. Law,

before we go into the MRl room...

... l have some guestions to ask you

about your husband.

- Does he have a cardiac pacemaker?

- No.

- lntracranial aneurysm clip?

- No.

Dentures, hearing aid or penile implant?

No, no, and not unless he had one put in

since this morning.

Mr. Law. Right this way.

I have a few forms for you to fill out.

This is a painless procedure

so there's nothing for you to worry about.

Dressing room's here.

Remove all your clothing.

You'll find a gown on a hook.

The paperwork's already started

so we'll get you in and out in no time.

Please remove

all personal metallic objects.

That means no keys, no watches,

no credit cards...

... no body piercings, no cell phones....

My gun.

- No guns, no jewelry, no zippers.

- What?

The hospital has it.

You're going in for an MRl. Gabe?

Remember what I said?

I feel it again.

When you're done,

we'll go get your things, all right?

They're not giving her your gun.

The guys are downstairs.

They can get the gun.

Even if you did, you're not bringing it here.

That's a powerful, precise magnet.

All right.

If you start the MRl, I'll find the guys.

Lose the wedding ring.

Here. I got it.

For Christ's sake, you're getting an MRl,

not a heart transplant.

Mr. Law, I need you to remain still

for three to ten minutes.

You can talk, but if you move,

we have to start all over.

Hey. Where did you guys go?

I took him in for a....

Something wrong?

Can I get you something?

No, I have to talk to the doctor.

Mike, I can't take my break

till I'm done with this guy.

Can you wait half an hour?

Mr. Law, what are you doing?

Now we have to start over.

Why? What did I do?

Back away!

Thought you were gonna kill me.

Just give me the chance, a**hole.

Get on your knees slowly.

You there?

On the floor, right now!

The floor?

This is a hospital.

The floor is full of germs.

You want me to get sick?

It's gunfire.

Let's get security.

Gabe.

Get back!

What have you got?

Nothing.

Not a thing.

No! No!

Be still.

Unit 15, weapon fire, south tower!

Fourth floor, Imaging Radiology!

Gabe is there.

- Hands high! Hands high, Yulaw!

- Don't move! Don't move!

Don't move!

We all know if you kill me,

you have to kill the other guy.

- Just let me take out one leg.

- Cuff him.

I'll cover you.

Go.

Back, get back!

- It's Gabe.

- Go! Channel 7.

Swing the camera. Follow him.

He cut right at the end of the hall.

Don't move! Stay here!

Go back to the room.

T. K., you can't go up there!

Which one is he?

- I'm okay. I'm all right.

- Don't move, Gabe! We're here to help.

- I'm all right.

- Do you know where you are?

- What's wrong with you?

- Where are you, Gabe?

There are three armed men.

They killed a security officer.

- Who are we?

- They went down the hall.

- What's my name?

- I was unarmed. I couldn't go after them.

What did you do with the gun?

I don't have one. I asked T. K. to get it.

Yulaw wouldn't have known that.

This one's safer in their custody.

Let them take him.

You need help before you hurt yourself.

Or anyone else.

Anyone else? Someone tried to kill me!

Please! I don't want to hurt you guys.

Let go of me!

I don't want to hurt you.

I don't want to hurt you guys.

Settle back down!

He's close to Yulaw's strength.

Let go! Gabe!

It's what I told you. It's me.

Get home.

We have a problem here.

Yeah, the real problem is

procedure sucks...

... sir.

All right, new procedure.

Gabe is yours. I will take Yulaw.

How you going to do that?

I'll do whatever it takes.

Sync up your repeater.

Hey, wait a minute.

I've lived through one of those.

Let me do it.

Sync your repeater, Funsch.

All right.

When the green light turns red

and stays steady and Yulaw is dead....

And you.

You know what to do.

Not a problem.

Us splitting up, you going solo,

is way out of procedure.

So listen to me. I know where you're from,

what you've been through...

... but this place is different.

Not everyone is a combatant.

There are innocent people here, also.

So if you get into the sh*t,

you trust your heart...

... not your head.

Loud and clear, sir.

How did that son of a b*tch

get out of here?

Have you seen that new video,

Mr. Fanny's Been A-Pluggin'? It's hot!

Dude, I like Janine.

But she don't do guys.

That girl-girl stuff gets old.

Why don't you rent one of those big-ass,

she- male tapes, you freak?

Shut up!

I can't determine occipital lobe swelling

without a complete MRl.

- He was acting schizophrenic.

- Schizophrenia doesn't just kick in.

The triggering stressor of being shot

caused a psychotic break.

The Fifth Division is looking for him.

They understand he's not himself.

They know how to bring him in.

- You okay?

- I'm fine.

- Need a doctor?

- No, I'm all right.

I am not going to let

anything happen to him.

If it wasn't for Gabe,

I wouldn't be in this uniform.

Thanks, Bobby.

- Maybe it's best if I go home.

- Good idea.

Nothing you can do here,

and he's likely to contact you there.

If I hear from him, I'll let you know.

If you hear anything, I'll be home.

I know. I'm going to take you.

I appreciate it, but I'll be fine.

We'll make sure of it. There are four units

on the way to your house. Come on.

- Circle around. I'll meet you out front.

- All right.

Just when I find something

I like in this universe.

Turn off the radio slowly.

Who are you?

You're close to his strength.

The last two years, you've gotten stronger.

Haven't jacked any more iron.

Haven't changed your diet.

But you are stronger.

Your mind, too.

Answers come fast without thinking.

Who are you? What did you do to me?

Not me. You.

You've done this to yourself.

Just like old times, eh, buddy?

Not exactly...

... buddy.

Put your hands back on the wheel, Yulaw.

Space is shaped like this.

You believe this is the only universe.

There's not just one universe,

there's a Multiverse.

Every time a massive star dies

and becomes a black hole...

... a new universe is created.

They've learned to forecast

where and when a black hole will occur.

A momentary bridge

between parallel universes.

Travel is restricted.

They created an agency

to police the Multiverse.

I'm a Multiverse agent.

You're a nut.

You're the one who's been seeing yourself.

In this universe, you're you.

In another, you don't exist.

In another,

you're married to the same woman.

In another, to a different woman.

In another, you're married to a man.

There's an energy, strain, wave,

connecting all those lives.

We all have one.

The one between you and him

has gotten stronger.

You've been feeling him, haven't you?

Harry, nobody's proved

that what I'm doing is a bad thing.

You've killed 123 people.

I'd say that was a very bad thing.

You don't know what'd happen

if you killed this one.

It could destroy the system,

but that doesn't matter.

I know. Everything must be balanced.
