SEQ. 020 - EXT. STREET - INDETERMINATE DAYLIGHT
...AN APOCALYPTIC WASTELAND.
Rusting machine carcasses, bombed-out ruins, and emptiness
stretch as far as he can see.
Terrible, life-ending destruction.
There is no other living being anywhere.
9 stares in disbelief and horror and fear. He can’t make any
sense of it... or the room... or the endless miles of
lifeless wasteland stretching out in front of him.
He seems to be completely alone.
9 sees a glint of something, a possible sign of life. He
moves to go outside.
8.
He stops and is strangely drawn to the TALISMAN. He turns
and takes it, stowing it inside his zippered chest before heheads out.

SEQ. 029 - 9 Meets 2
SEQ. 029 - EXT. WASTELAND - DAY
9 moves warily in the dusty, grim light, along the desertedRUINS of the outside streets. It is the remains of war.
Pulverized HULKS of BUILDINGS, torn-open suitcases, scatteredclothes, rusting cars and the grim debris of humancivilization surround him.
He sees a dead body slouched next to a suitcase in the frontseat of a car.
Banners hang on the buildings with a three prong symbol onthem.
Machines lie deserted on the sides of roads.
Distracted by the spectacle, 9 stumbles and lands on a raggedold flyer: REVOLT! He looks back at the War Machines and
Dictator flags. He sees a vandalized poster of what appearsto be a dictator/leader.
9 looks around him, trying to piece together what happened.
Suddenly there is a clanking sound in front of him.
9 sees a light flicker on in the shattered hulk of a warMachine.
CLOSE on 9 as the light crosses his face.
Scared, he ducks behind a huge piece of debris. 9 grabs apiece of metal lying in front of him.
The shadow moves closer, 9 shakes nervously. The figureemerges with spear in hand and 9 swings the weapon at himwith all his might.
9 hits him square in the chest. It is another ragdoll: 2. 2is propelled backwards and falls to the ground on the debrisbehind him. 9 quickly tries to hide.
9.
But 2 is looking at 9 with surprise. He struggles to get up,
speaking with urgency to 9.
2
(firmly, kindly, almosteagerly; like trying tosoothe a wild animal)
Wait... I am a friend.
ALT:
2 (cont’d)
(gently)
Friend... I am a friend.
9 now sees he has hit a ragdoll, similar to himself. He
hesitates, not sure what to make of this. 2 extends his
hand, calmly, eagerly. 9 hesitates again, then, still timid,
but showing a little bravery, drops his weapon and goes tohelp 2 up.
