They are installing a LAUNCHER RACK of TEN TUBES.

Xander can't hear a thing through the thick glass.

He takes a METAL BALL from his pocket. There's a sink in the

corner and he drops the metal ball down the drain.

INT. DRAIN PIPE

We follow the metal ball as it rolls through the trap and

down into the wall. The pipe zigzags around like a

rollercoaster and then levels off.

The ball rolls past a T-intersection, stops, and unrolls

like a pill bug.

Six metal legs appear and we see it's the ROACH CAM. It

scuttles back up the pipe and makes the turn.

INT. MANOR BASEMENT - MAIN HALL - NIGHT

We're close on a sink as the Roach Cam comes up the pipe. It

scurries into hiding just as a HAND reaches in to turn on

the water.

The roach peers out from between items on a workbench and we

PUSH IN on it's VIDEO CAMERA head.

INT. MEDIEVAL MANOR - STUDY - NIGHT

CLOSE ON - VIDEO MONITOR - ROACH CAM P.O.V.

We see a handheld video image of Viktor.

VIKTOR:

Okay, fire one.

Viktor pushes a button on Ahab and a VODKA BOTTLE launches

from tube one, SHATTERING against the ceiling.

YORGI:

Perfect!

Pull back to reveal Xander watching the image on his

communicator. Using a joystick he's able to control the roach.

He steers the camera towards Petra, gets a low-angle shot of

her legs in a punked-out CATHOLIC SCHOOL GIRL SKIRT.

He smiles, enjoying himself.

XANDER:

Great piece of hardware.

He plugs his earpiece in and listens in.

INT. MANOR BASEMENT - MAIN HALL - NIGHT

Petra works on a COMPUTER CONTROLLER.

The roach scurries across the floor, circling to get a better

look at Ahab.

Anders pushes a CART holding TEN GLASS CANISTERS OF LIQUID.

Each canister is separated in two, with a BLACK LIQUID on

top and a WHITE LIQUID on the bottom.

He hands the canisters to Viktor one by one.

ANDERS:

(singing)

"Silent Night... Holy Night"

Viktor laughs and joins in.

Then Kirill looks down and SPOTS THE ROACH CAM.

He STOMPS it with his boot.

INT. MEDIEVAL MANOR - STUDY - NIGHT

Xander jerks out his earpiece and rubs his ear.

XANDER:

Damn.

He looks down into the room, sees Kirill bending down to

examine the roach. Time to go.

INT. MANOR BASEMENT - MAIN HALL - NIGHT

Kirill lifts the dead "roach" and sees its wires.

KIRILL:

There's some bullshit going on!

Yorgi hits an ALARM switch, alerting the guards.

The Anarchy boys grab weapons and start racing through the

house.

INT. MEDIEVAL MANOR - VARIOUS - NIGHT

The Anarchy boys move swiftly from room to room in practiced

close combat maneuvers.

Cueing each other with hand signals, they run through each

room, weapons ready.

INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT

Xander sprints down the hallway. With the Anarchy 99 boys

and Guards roaming the house, he's having a hard time finding

his way out.

INT. DINING HALL - NIGHT

He runs into a darkened dining hall, sprints across only to

find the opposite door locked. He hides behind one of the

many COLUMNS as his pursuers enter the room.

Kirill gives a thumbs up and puts on a pair of NIGHT VISION

GOGGLES. He scans the big room but sees nothing.

Xander, hidden at the opposite end, waits breathlessly.

Kirill advances slowly, his buddies covering him from the

door.

YORGI:

Xander, my friend, that can only be

you. Why don't we put our weapons

down for a few minutes and discuss

this like friends. How would you

like to come to work for us instead?

We could Rage Against the Machine

together.

Across the room, Xander sees a small window leading to the

courtyard. He has to run across open ground to reach it. He

calls out to Yorgi.

XANDER:

Speaking of people that are full of

sh*t, funny you should mention those

guys!

Xander's voice echoes around the empty hall, making it

impossible to pinpoint.

XANDER:

They put their records out through

Sony, one of the biggest corporate

machines on the planet. Some

revolutionaries, huh?

He pulls out his gun as Kirill creeps ever closer.

Against the far wall Xander spots a FIRE EXTINGUISHER.

YORGI:

Come on, you're the one who's fooling

yourself. Why risk your life for

your government when we can offer

you a future that is truly free?

Kirill is almost on top of him.

Xander sights up and FIRES.

The fire extinguisher EXPLODES, blinding Kirill.

Xander makes a run for it.

Everyone FIRES WILDLY (except for Petra), bullets tearing

tapestries off the walls.

Xander dives and crashes through the window.

EXT. COURTYARD - SUNRISE

Xander tuck and rolls, comes up running.

Guards are running around, unsure just what the hell is going

on.

Xander hops on one of the TRIALS MOTORCYCLES parked nearby

and fires up the engine. He hits a remote switch and BLAM!

The EXPLOSIVE CHARGE he left earlier blows-up.

He points the bike at a set of STONE STAIRS. They form a

"ramp" that he can use to JUMP THE WALL. He GUNS THE ENGINE.

A Guard races across the wall with a rifle, taking aim.

Xander races and JUMPS THE BIKE over the wail. As he goes by

he does a CAN-CAN AERIAL, KICKING THE GUARD OFF THE WALL

before he can shoot.

The Anarchy 99 guys run outside just in time to see him go.

YORGI:

He blew the gate control. Anders!

Get the bastard!

Anders fires up the other trials bike, slings a submachine

gun across his back and goes up and over. Petra watches him

go, hoping for the best.

EXT. PRAGUE STREETS - DAYBREAK

(NOTE:
action will be re-choreographed based on actual

locations. Any freestyle motorcycle moves will be motivated

by a physical reason)

Xander blazes down the street, Anders racing right behind

him. A wrong turn sends him into a dead end.

At the end is a panel truck parked next to a stone wall.

Xander slows the trials bike and drives it up the hood of

the truck and onto it's roof. Balancing on the rear wheel,

he hops onto the wall.

The machine gun blasts again. Xander drives off along the

top of the wall. Anders shoulders his gun and follows.

They are riding a 15' high wall that's only a foot wide.

They make several 90 degree turns, racing above a sleeping

neighborhood. Xander sees the end of the wall ahead and takes

a detour.

He hops onto the second floor balcony of a BUILDING UNDER

CONSTRUCTION.

INT. BUILDING UNDER CONSTRUCTION - MORNING

CONSTRUCTION WORKERS bolt out of the way as the motorcycle

leaps into their building.

Xander pops a wheelie and slams through a BLUEPRINT TABLE.

Anders follows, demolishing their SNACK TABLE.

Xander darts through the building, between beams and 2 x

4's, until he reaches a skeletal STAIRCASE.

More WORKERS appear at the bottom of the stairs so Xander

goes up. He cranks up three flights of stairs and bashes

onto the roof.

EXT. THE ROOFTOPS - MORNING

Xander looks around for a way out. The next building isn't

that far away. He revs up and JUMPS ACROSS.

Anders jams another magazine into his sub-machine gun and

follows Xander.

They jump from roof to roof, down a DESCENDING SERIES OF

ROOFTOPS towards the river. Anders pulls up alongside as

they race towards that last apartment building.
