MED. SHOT - INT. GARAGE

from within the garage. WE SEE the car drifting down the ramp into garage, Neville and the black-clad figure wrestle as the car, at low speed, crashes into a pillar or another car. Neville pushes the black figure away, hits him, hits him again, jumps from the car with his stun gun and fires a burst into the black figure. CAMERA RUSHES IN FOR CLOSE SHOT OF NEVILLE as he turns from the fallen figure. He looks outward at the still-open garage door, his face reflecting fear, horror.

REVERSE SHOT - GARAGE DOOR AREA

Two more black-clad figures are rushing in armed with clubs or spears.

CLOSE SHOT - NEVILLE

CAMERA JERKS as Neville fires his stun gun directly into LENS. Above the gun, his face is clenched in hatred, loathing.

MED. SHOT - GARAGE DOOR AREA

The door is lowering now. There is a body lying in a dark heap-just inside. WE can SEE one or two others scurrying away outside in the dark as the door closes4

MED. SHOT - NEVILLE

He has lowered his gun, holds the remote-control box, pressing the button to lower the door. He is exhausted, shoulders slumped. He walks through the garage stopping to check a large gasoline-powered generator that has been jury-rigged to a panel to distribute current. There are shelves full of oil and batteries and similar supplies. He walks through the low-lighted garage. There are several rows of bright automobiles, sports cars, jeeps, a few pick-up trucks, a single armored car. All are kept in good condition, brightly polished.

Neville walks back out into the open area of the garage, surveying the damage to the Mercedes, shaking his head.

NEVILLE:

That's a shame. So hard to get a repairman these days, too.

MED. SHOT - NEVILLE AT ELEVATOR

Neville unlocks an elevator, gets in and pushes the button for the top floor.

NEVILLE:

Penthouse, Robert. He's probably anxious to get on with the game.

He leans back against the side of the elevator, eyes closed, exhausted, but still on the verge of laughter.

NEVILLE:

Some game...

CUT TO:

LONG SHOT - ELEVATOR DOOR OPENING - NEVILLE

The elevator opens directly into penthouse. Neville coming OUT into his fortress-apartment. In left F.G. of SHOT is silhouette of profile of what appears to be a man in a military--cap. Neville drops stun gun slowly to the floor, looks around room, his eyes light on figure.

NEVILLE:

Okay, Okay, I’m ready.

CAMERA MOVES PAST SILHOUETTE, MOVES ACROSS LARGE ORNATE CHESSBOARD in middle F.G. to MED. SHOT on Neville-. He pulls off dirty shirt, tosses it aside, walks to his left. CAMERA STAYS ON HIM.

NEVILLE:

Go ahead ... move.

Neville walks into what seems another world, as CAMERA TURNS to FOLLOW HIM. It is a very long gallery-like room with many mahogany bookcases, walls covered with major paintings, pieces of sculpture here and there. He walks to a beautiful and ornate bar-liquor-cabinet, takes down a bottle of fine scotch. He pauses and studies the label as he twists off the cap. He speaks back over his shoulder.
