TOILETS. THE TWO PEOPLE AT THE COFFEE SHOP SEE ELIJAH FASTLY FOR THE

SCENE 4: INT.TOILET.DAY

THE TOILET DOOR OPENS AND THE TWO STRALKERS WALK IN.

VICTOR:

Gde etot mudak (Where’s this asshole)

PETROVA:
On budet v tom zhe meste otets
(He’ll be in the same place as his father soon)

THE TWO BEGIN TO SEARCH, MATHEW IS IN THE MIDDLE CUBICLE AND WE SEE
HIM TRYING TO QUIET HIS BREATHING. PETROVA STEPS TOWARDS THE
CUBICLES AND SHE ONE BY OPENS THEM WITH FORCE

SLAM, SLAM, SLAM. WE SEE MATHEW CLOSING HIS AND SEE HIM FLINCH AT
EVERY SLAM. PETROVA OPENS THE FOURTH CUBICLE AND WE SEE HER BEING
JUMPED BY A HOODED FIGURE. THE HOODED MAN PUSHES HER WITH FORCE INTO
VICTOR WHO IS JUST BEHIND HER. THEY ARE DISORIENTATED AND WE SEE THE
HOODED MAN AGRESSIVELY ATTACK BEFORE VITOR FORCES HIM BACK INTO THE
CUBICLE AND THE ENGAGE WITHIN THE CUBICLE. THE HOODED FIGURE PUSHES
AND PUNCHES HIS WAY BACKOUT OF THE CUBICLE WHERE HE IS NOW REVEALED
INTO THE OPEN, SQUARING OFF VICTOR AND PETROVA.

THEY ARE EITHER SIDE OF HIM AND ENGAGE. VICTOR TARGETS THE BODY WITH
THE HOODED MAN DENYING AND COUNTERING AND PETROVA AIMING FOR HIS
BACK KNEE WITH FULL FORCE, FORCING THE HODDED MAN TO HIS KNEES.
HOWEVER THE HOODED MAN RE-ADJUSTS AND SPINS HIS LEGS TO KICK PETROVA
OFF BALANCE. SHE CRASHES TO THE FLOOR.

HE AIM TO VICTOR AND WORKS HIS INNER BODY AND THROWS SEVERAL HARSH
BLOWS TO HIS TORSO AND RIBS, VICTOR COUNTERS AND CATCHES THE HOODED
MAN OFF GUARD WITH A SHARP SLASH TO THE STOMACK WITH A KNIFE. THE
HOODED MAN SHAKEN BY THIS, RAISES HIS HANDS IN A DEFENSIVE STANCE
AND WAITS FOR VICTOR TO ENGAGE. VICTOR STRIKES AND BEGINS TO JAB,
AND TESTS THE HOODED MAN EXPERTISE, HOWEVER THE HOODED MAN CATCHES
HIM AND SLOWLY DISARMS HIM AND VICTOR TRIES TO GET FREE OF HIS
GRASP. PETROVA GETS TO HER FEET AND COMES TO FEND OFF THE HOODED
FIGURE. THE HOODED MAN USES VICTOR ASA SHIELD TO FEND HER OFF BEFORE
FLIPPING OVER TO THE GROUND WITH IMMENSE FORCE.

PETROVA ATTACKS AND GRAPPLES ONTO HIM AND ATTEMPTS TO CHOKE HIM OUT,
HE ATTEMPT TO THROW HER OFF AND BASHES HER AGIANST WALLS, WHILST
TRYING TO KEEP HIS FACE GUARDED FROM HER. HE MANAGES TO ROLL TO THE
GROUND AND GRABS HIS ARM AND DISLOCATES IT. THE HOODED MAN GRUNTS IN
PAIN. IN ANGER HE REPOSTIONS AND SLAMS HER AGAINST A WALL. HE GET

BACK UP, ANGER IN HIS EYES AND HE SLAMS ARM AGAINST A WALL TO PUT
HIS ARM BACK INTO PLACE. THE TWO ARE ALARMED AS HE PICKS UP THE
KNIFE, AND REINGAGES. THE HOODED MAN ROARS OUT AND SWIFTLY BREAKS
DOWN VICTOR WITH JABS TO THE MID AND THEN AS PETROVA ENGAGES, HE
DISPATCHES OF VICTOR AND DROPS HIM TO THE FLOOR. SHE GROWLS IN ANGER
AND GOES TO DISARM HIM, SHE HITS SEVERAL TIME TO THE MID AND HEAD
AND THEN THE HOODED MAN GRAPPLES HER AND TAKES HER DOWN TO THE
GROUND, THE KNIFE SLOWLY IS FORCED TO HER CHEST, SHE TRIES TO RESIST
, BUT HIS RAGE BESTS HER AND THE KNIFE SLOWLY ENTERS AND SHE LOSES
HER STRENGTH.

NOAH:

You’ll be in the same place as your brother soon

(RUSSIAN)

PETROVAS EYES FADE AND NOAH REACHES OVER AND CLOSES THEM. HE TRIES
TO GEET AND THEMN FUMBLES TO THE FLOOR HOLDING ONTO HIS STOMACH
WOUND.

NOAH:

Ah Shit.

HE LOOKS AT HIS WOUND, GETS UP AND GOES TO LOOK AT THE WOUND IN THE
MIRROR. HE TARES HIS SHIRT OFF AND REACHES FOR HIS BAG, AND TRIES TO
GET ALCOHOL TO CLEAN THE WOUND. AT THIS TIME ELIJAH WALKS OUT AND
PICKS UP THE KNIFE IN DEFENSE.

ELIJAH:

Who the hell are you?

NOAH:

Put the knife down boy.

ELIJAH:

You killed those people.

NOAH:

And they were going to kill you.

ELIJAH HESITATES, HIS HANDS SHAKING, NOAH STEPS TOWADS HIM AND ELJAH
SLASHES. NOAH CATCHES IT DISARMS HIM AND THEN STAMPS THE BACK OF IS
LEG TO PUT HIM DOWN.

NOAH:

(GRUNTS IN PAIN)

willcollins4work@gmail.com
 9

I save your life, and you try and stab me, you are little spoilt
piece of shit, I should have let those two kill you. Would’ve made
this a lot easier.

NOAH IS SWALLOWING PAINKILLERS TO TRY AND DEAL WITH THE WOUND

ELIJAH:

You’re a monster

(Confused)

NOAH:

I’m a monster. I’m a monster. Then what are they

NOAH POINT AT THE TWO DEAD ASALANTS.

Russian Special Forces. Discharged. Hitmen. These sorts of people

have killed woman and children, burnt down villages for money, they
kill innocents, and my family was killed to get me. Because of
people like them. Now I did not come here, to get judged by some
rich orphan to tell me I’m not as good as they are because they’ve
never done a sods ass part from drop out of Uni.

ELIJAH:

Orphan?!

NOAH:

I’m sorry for your loss

ELIJAH:

No, no, he’s not dead your lying

BEGINS TO FURIOUSLY PUNCH NOAH IN THE CHEST AND NOAH LETS HIM TAKE
IT OUT BEFORE GRABBING HIS HANDS UNTIL HE CALMS.

(DURING THIS ACTION)

NOAH:

I’m sorry, he got ambushed on his way to the conference

ELIJAH:

No, no… no one else is coming else is coming.

NOAH:

No, now you can stay here and die or you can come with me

ELIJAH:

willcollins4work@gmail.com
 10

So if I stay I’m dead, if I go with I’m dead, what kind of choice is

that?

NOAH:

The only that you have

THERE IS A PAUSE BEFORE ELIJAH GETS UP FROM HIS KNEES

ELIJAH:

What’s the plan?

NOAH:

We have to change. That bag there

POINTS TO A BAG IN THE TOILET, ELIJAH BEGINS TO GET CHANGED SEEMING

RELUCTANT BUT FOLLOWING ORDERS.

NOAH:

We have 48 hours till the bounty runs out, People will keep the
bounty running but it gives us a window, one chance. Police,
security, people. DON’T TALK… DON’T MAKE EYE CONTACT… WALK TO THE
STATION… ACT NORMAL… IF YOU ARE ENGAGED…DON’T RUN.

NOAH:

DO YOU UNDERSTAND

ELIJAH IS SILENT

NOAH:

DO YOU UNDERSTAND!

ELIJAH SNAPS BACK IN SHOCK

ELIJAH:

NOAH:

when I can.

ELIJAH:

NOAH BEGINS TO RUN IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION TO ELIJAH AND ELIJAH

HEADS TOWARDS THE STATION. WE SEE NOAH RUN THROUGHT THE STATION AND
BEGIN TO EXIT AND WE SEE SOME HENCHMEN BEGIN TO RUN TOWARDS HIM. HE
EASILY DISPATCHES OF THEM.

ELIJAH BEGINS TO WALK THROUGH A DENSE CROWD OF PEOPLE, TILL WE SEE A

STALKER THAT WALKS BEHIND ELIJAH AND BEGINS TO GAIN. ELIJAH FASTENS
IN HIS SPEED AND BEGINS TO PANICK A LOT. HE GRABS THE PHONE AND
TEXTS NOAH THAT SOMEONES FOLLOWING HIM.

THE TEXT COMES THROUGH AND NOAH TURNS IN DISTRESS

NOAH:

Oh shit…

ELIJAH IS PANICKING AND AS SOON AS A HAND TOUCHES HIS SHOULDER HE

TURNS ROUND SLOWLY TO PUNCH THE MAN BEFORE HE REALISES THE MAN HAS A
RECORDER AND IS A REOPRTER

REPORTER:

Hey Hey, wow, what are you doing, Mr Green can I get your views on
these terror attacks, Mr Green

ELIJAH RUNS BACK INTO THE CROWD AND ANOTHER HAND TOUCHES HIM ON THE
SHOULDER. HE TURNS ROUND

THE MAN IS NOT THE REPORTER AND GOES TO STAB ELIJAH AS ANOTHER
ASSASSIN COMES UP AND STABS HIM FIRST.

ELIJAH FLEES AND THE ASSASSIN CHASES HIM AND HE RUNS THROUGHT THE
STATION AND HE STORMS TO THE FLIGHT OF STARIS TO TRY AND EVADE
CAPTURE. HE LOOPS BACK AROUND TO THE PLATFORM AND RUNS FRANTICALLY.
HE ISNT LOOKING WHERE HES GOING AND HE KEEPS RUNNING TO WARDS THE
MOVING TRAIN ARRIVING AT THE PLATFORM. AN ARM STOPS HIM IN HIS
TRACKS. ELIJAH COMES TO A COMPLETE HAULT SPPOKED. HE LOOKS UP TO SEE
NOAH

NOAH:

Careful

ELIJAH TAKES A BREATH OF RELIEF

ELIJAH:

Well that plan went well

NOAH:

Well you’re still alive aren’t you, come on

HE TAKES ELIJAH BY THE ARM AND DRAGS HIM INTO THE TRAIN. THE TRAIN
DOORS CLOSE.

ELIJAH:

Where we going

NOAH:

Somewhere safe

ELIJAH:

No where’s safe?

NOAH:

Huh (Chuckles lightly)

ELIJAH:

NOAH:

THE TRAIN LEAVES THE STATION.

SCENE 6: INT.TRAIN.NIGHT

 13

THE TRAIN, STOP AFTER STOP THE TRAIN HAD LESS AND LESS PEOPLE ON IT.
NOAH LOOKS AROUND AND OBSERVES, HE SLOWLY CATCHES HIS ATTENTION TO A
MAN SITTING OPPOSITE THEM. HE SLOWLY SEES THE MAN, REACHING INTO HIS
POCKET, AND SEE HIM SWEATING.

NOAH:

If you’re going to stab someone, do it quickly

THE MAN SLOWLY TURNS HIS HEAD FACING NOAH WITH HIS HAND STILL IN HIS
POCKET.

NOAH:

Now you have one chance you get off on this next stop, I will not
try to find you. But there will only be one person dying on this
train today. And if you don’t get off at this next stop it will be
you.

AS NOAH SAYS THIS HE FINALLY MAKES EYE CONTACT WITH THE MAN. ELIJAH
TENSES UP. THE TRAIN SLOWS DOWN AND IT GOES TO HAULT, THE TRAIN
DOORS OPEN. NEITHER BUDGE. THE DORRS SLOWLY CLOSE AND AS SOON AS IT
CLOSES THE MAN JUMPS UPAND GOES STRAIGHT FOR ELIJAH. NOAH STEPS IN
AND QUICKLY DISARMS HIM. THEY THROW EACHOTHER ROUND THE CARRIAGE.
NOAH QUICKLY GETS HIM TO THE FLOOR HOWEVER HE SWINGS HIS LEGS ROUND
AND HAS NOAH STRAIGHTTO FLOOR. THEY TUSSEL AND GRIP ON THE FLOOR.
THE DOORS RE OPEN. ELIJAH ATTEMPTS TO REACH FOR THE KNIFE. AND HEADS
TOWARDS THE MAN.

NOAH:

Put the knife down Elijah, leave now, go, address.

THE DOORS OPEN AND ELIJAH WAITS BY THE DOOR HESISTANTLY.

NOAH:

Goo Elijah!

THEY ARE STILL TUSTLING WHEN THE DOORS CLOSE. ELIJAH IS STUNNED, THE
FIRST TIME THAT HE FINALLY FEELS ALONE, LIKE THERE IS NO ONE LEFT.HE
BEGINS TO WALK ACTING NORMAL, BUT SADNESS IN HIS EYES, THE THOUGHT
THAT NOAH MAY HAVE SACRIFICED HIMSELF FOR HIM. ELIJAH FINALLY GOT TO
THE ADDRESS. HE FINDS HIMSELF AT A LARGE LOT WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT
PLOTS AND HE GOES AND SEARCHES FOR THE PLOT THATNOAH HAD WRITTEN
DOWN. AS HE GOES TOWARDS THE PLOT WRITTEN DWON, ELIJAH NOTICES A
BULKY MAN WITH GREEN GARDENING BOOTS AND SPADE DIGGING UP ROOT
VEGETABLES. THE MAN SLIGHTLY TURNS HIS HEAS AS FOOT STEPS APPROACH
HIM. ELIJAH STEP CLOSER WITH CAUTION. THE MAN STAND UP SLOWLY
WHILSTE TURNING ROUND TO FACE HIM. ELIJAH IS VERY GUARDED AND
UNSURE. THE MANS FACE WAS REVEALED, A MAN WITH DARK HAIR AND A SCAR
GOING DOWN HIS RIGHT EYE.
