LEON(continues)

Second case:
you have no time but you

mustn't get discovered. Screwdriver.

He disassembles lock's cover.

LEON:

Here, wires need the code. Always four

wires.

An approximately 40-year-old man climbs the stairway. He

evidently lives in the building.

MAN:

May I...?

LEON:

Pardon.

(To Mathilda)

Let pass.

Leon opens the door by disassembled lock's wires. The man is

going to pass, but doesn't. Leon's going to resume his

explanation.

MAN:

Excuse me, but... What are you doing?

LEON:

I teach to the girl.

MAN:

Do you teach her how to break buildings'

doors, don't you? Don't you give a sh*t

about me? Get away before I call the

Police! The man is very nervous,

searches in a pocket, then pulls out an

anti-aggression bomblet. He'll have no

time to use it:
Leon pulled out his

silenced gun. A shot to the hand and the

bomblet takes off. Shot's energy makes

the man turn around. A second shot in the

back makes the man get over the parapet

and disappear in a decorative bush,

almost without noise. Mathilda is

immobilized. Leon looks around, then

resumes.

LEON:

So... the wire which starts from the

bottom of the metal part and then, you

try the other three wires, one by one.

At second wire, the door opens. Leon smiles.

LEON:

Simple, isn't it?

She nods yes.

LEON:

What's up? I don't feel you're

concentrated.

MATHILDA:

Yes, yes...

She gets close to the parapet and looks at the bush.

MATHILDA:

It's incredible! How did you do it?

LEON:

What?

MATHILDA:

There, the guy... How did you do that,

without even touching him? Without noise.

It's like you put him away... How did you

do it?

LEON(pause - proud)

Did you like it?

She pauses and seriously looks at him.

MATHILDA:

It was brilliant.
