The .50 caliber bullet pierces his temple, and his head
EXPLODES ONTO THE CAMERA, painting it with blood and bits of
brain.
Still, it continues to pull back...
FADE TO:
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Traveling to the city with nothing
but his own gut to follow, the
Courier was hired by the Mojave
Express to deliver a package to the
New Vegas Strip. What seemed like a
simple delivery job had taken a
turn...for the worse.
FADE TO:
BENNY (CONT'D)
From where you're kneeling, it must
seem like an eighteen-carat run of
bad luck. But the truth is-
Benny aims his pistol at the CAMERA.
BENNY (CONT'D)
-the game was rigged from the
start.
The man in the checkered suit squeezes the trigger, and fires
a shot into the CAMERA...BLAM!
CUT TO BLACK.

ACT ONE
Two scars mark his head from where the two bullets entered,
but there are no remaining fragments of lead inside.
DOC MITCHELL (CONT'D)
How'd I do?
The Courier nods his head and hands Mitchell back the device.
DOC MITCHELL (CONT'D)
Well, I got most of it right
anyway. The stuff that mattered.
The good surgeon stands up and gestures for the Courier to
stand up. He extends his arms out.
DOC MITCHELL (CONT'D)
No sense in keeping you in bed.
Let's try and get you on your feet
now.
The Courier CLAPS Mitchell's hand and is pulled up to his
feet. He GROANS and grows dizzy for a few seconds, but his
head clears quickly. He wobbles like a loose spring; Mitchell
gently grabs hold of an arm to keep him up.
DOC MITCHELL (CONT'D)
You okay?
The Courier nods, and the good surgeon releases him. He
remains close to him in case he falls off balance again.
Mitchell points to the other end of the room, where there is
a small DOORWAY leading to the front door.
DOC MITCHELL (CONT'D)
See if you can make it to that
doorway on your own.
The Courier nods, and EXHALES. He clumsily inches his left
foot forward, and nearly stumbles. He catches himself, and
Mitchell stays back to watch. The Courier moves his right
foot in front of the other, and manages to step a little
smoother.
He reaches the halfway point between the doctor and the
doorway, and his walking slowly comes back to him. He smiles
a little to himself.

THE COURIER
(a beat)
I'm too embarrassed to say what it
looks like.
DOC MITCHELL
Okay. Last one.
The Courier examines the last photo.
THE COURIER
A bearded man.
The good surgeon puts the pictures away, and takes off his
glasses.
DOC MITCHELL
Very good. Come with me now, I'll
see you out.
The Courier walks with Doc Mitchell to the door.
