ATTORNEY:
How can you be so calm? They know who you are.
WOLFGANG:
Knowing it and proving it are two different things.
ATTORNEY:
Will you listen to me? They can prove it. They've got the Welshman.
Wolfgang's eyes cloud. They do that when something displeases him.
WOLFGANG:
Go on.
ATTORNEY:
The N.S.A. has him in protective custody. He's connected you to Islamic Jihad, the American Embassy bombing in Beirut and God knows what else. They're flying you to Los Angeles to stand trial.
WOLFGANG:
Then the solution's simple. I must not reach Los Angeles.
ON Wolfgang's confident look...
CUT TO:
18 EXT. TRANS PACIFIC AIRLINES BUILDING (ORLANDO) - DAY 18
The logo of Trans Pacific atop a tower of glass and steel. ANGLE DOWN TO street level as a taxi pulls up to the entrance and stops. John Cutter climbs out. We see him full figure in a dark suit -- ramrod straight --lean, hard and muscular. Cutter pays the driver, hefts his bag and enters the building.
CUT TO:
18A INT. SLY DELVECCHIO'S OFFICE 18A
An efficient young SECRETARY looks up from her computer as Cutter steps into the outer office. He tosses his bag on the couch.
SECRETARY:
You must be Mister Cutter. Mister Delvecchio's expecting you.
CUTTER:
Don't buzz him. I want this to be a surprise.
Cutter crosses the room and pushes open the big door to...
Cutter is barely through the door when SLY DELVECCHIO jumps him from behind.
In a blinding flash of martial arts skill. Cutter flips Sly over his shoulder. Sly hits the carpet with a thud. Swift as a cobra, Cutter is upon him -- knee planted in the center of Sly's chest, hand tight around Sly's throat -- thumb pressed to his jugular.
CUTTER:
(with a smile)
You're dead. Sly. Get yourself buried.
Through his surprise and pain, Sly smiles back. He's in his early 30s, a friendly, likable guy -- Cutter's buddy from way back.
SLY:
(his voice is a rough whisper)
Okay, I'm dead. Now would you mind getting your big knee off my chest?
(gasping)
I can't breathe...
Cutter just smiles as Sly continues to gasp. Sly is very convincing but Cutter's not buying. He knows his friend too well.
SLY:
Cutter... please... I can't breathe...
CUTTER:
Sly, do the words 'acting lessons' mean anything to you?
SLY:
(really gasping)
Cutter, no sh*t... you know I've got this asthma thing...
Cutter frowns and steps back. As he does, sneaky Sly tries to hook him with his foot. But Cutter has anticipated this. He catches the foot with one hand and hoists Sly into the air so that he's hanging upside down -- face buried in the rug.
CUTTER:
(amused)
How's that carpet taste?
SLY:
All right! Okay! Uncle!
