The old Cook slides over the side as the enormous tanker
FLIPS OVER.
CUT TO:
WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Clearing at their highest speed, we see through the rain
doused windshield, DR. NIKO "NICK" TATOPOULOS. Music
blares from the tiny headphones of his Walkman.
NICK:
(singing)
...I'm singing in the rain, just
singing in the rain...
CUT TO:
10 INT. RUSSIAN TOWN - RAIN - DAY10
The utility van races through this small Russian town
right past a roadblock marked with the international
signs for "no trespass" and "nuclear radiation."
NICK:
..."What a glorious feeling. I'm happy
again..."
As the van disappears down the road, we CRANE UP
revealing a city sign reading: CHERNOBYL, RUSSIA.
11 EXT. CHERNOBYL DIRT PARK - RAIN - DAY11
With the infamously crippled nuclear power plant in the
distance, the utility van slides to a muddy stop by this
field of dirt.
Nick hops out quickly and rushes to the back of the van.
He opens the back of the van and grabs several metallic
cases.
Walking a few yards away from the van, he dumps the
cases on the ground, opening them to REVEAL an
assortment of sophisticated scientific equipment.
Taped to the inside are several photos of a girl we'll
meet later. Some of the photos are of her looking young
and beautiful. Others are of the two of them happily
together.
With a switch he turns on the equipment which comes to
life. Inside one of the cases are several cables
attached to long SPIKES. He grabs them and dashes away.
NICK:
..."I'm laughing at clouds, so dark up
above..."
Nick rushes over to a small patch of land and begins to
SHOVE the spikes into the muddy earth.
NICK:
..."The sun's in my heart and I'm
ready for love..."
Once firmly in the ground, he rushes back over to the
van and pops the hood.
CLOSE - VAN'S ENGINE
We SEE the steaming engine and a large electric car
BATTERY.
NICK:
..."Let the cloudy skies chase..."
He attaches the cables to the battery and they SPARK!
Nick YELPS and jumps back. Shaking off the shock, he
rushes back over to the mud pit, dropping down to his
knees.
Suddenly, raising from the mud we see DOZENS OF
EARTHWORMS. Excitedly Tatopoulos grabs a big empty glass
jar and begins filling the jar with worms, happily in
his element.
NICK:
..."I'm singin' in the mud, just
scooping up my worms..."
Unable to hear over his Walkman, he is oblivious as an
enormous RUSSIAN MILITARY HELICOPTER lands right behind
him.
From the intense wind kicked up by the helicopter,
Tatopoulos finally turns in time to see several RUSSIAN
OFFICERS coming toward him. Nick scrambles to his feet.
NICK:
(broken Russian)
Good day. I am here with
permission...I have a, a...
(in English)
Permit. How do you say permit?
