JUNO:

Call me, if you'd like to see

some of my other pieces.

HARRY:

I'd like that.

23 INT. VAN - NIGHT

Gib can't believe this conversation.

GIB:

(to Faisil)

Son of a b*tch is with her two

minutes and she's ready to bear

his children

(to Harry)

What's your exit strategy Twinkle

Toes?

24 EXT. CHATEAU/ FRONT ENTRANCE - NIGHT

Harry nods to the security men at the door as he strides

confidently through. He goes down the steps to the broad

terrace above the motor court. Behind Harry, a GUARD lowers

his walky talky and starts after him.

GUARD:

May I see your invitation, sir?

Without turning, Harry slips a small flat box out of his breast

pocket. A REMOTE DETONATOR.

HARRY*

Here's my invitation.*

He pushes the button and--*

KABOOM! The second floor office windows blow out in a fiery

explosion. Using the diversion, Harry leaps off the terrace

before the guard can open fire.

25 INT. / EXT. VAN - NIGHT

Gib sees the rising fireball a half-mile away. He starts the

van.

GIB:

Aw, sh*t. Here we go--

26 EXT. CHATEAU AND GROUNDS - NIGHT

Harry sprints across the snow-covered lawn, through the trees.

Guards with automatic weapons run after him, firing. The snow

explodes around him with bullet hits.

TWO DOBERMANS pelt toward Harry, leaping at him in perfect

unison. He waits... and knocks their heads together in mid-

leap with a crack like a baseball bat. The dogs drop to the

snow, wobbling around like they're drunk.

As Harry sprints on, ANOTHER DOBERMAN lunges out of the bushes

ahead, leaping directly for his throat. Harry grabs the dog

and shot-puts him up into a tree without breaking stride. Dog

Fu. The dog yelps and scrambles to hold onto an icy branch,

looking down in amazement.

27 EXT. PERIMETER WALL/ MOUNTAIN SLOPE - NIGHT

Harry leaps down on the outside of the wall, hitting a snow

bank and sliding downhill. He sprints down the gentle slope

toward the highway.

Harry looks back as TWO GUARDS ON SKIS come out of a guard

station beside the main entrance.

TRACKING WITH THE SKI-GUARDS, searching through the trees with

lights. They have lost Harry. They stop. A snowbank behind

them EXPLODES as Harry leaps out. He disables them both with

vicious street-fighter moves. Harry looks upslope as--

A service gate opens in the perimeter wall and TEAMS OF

SECURITY MEN in white snow-suits pour out, some on skis, some

on SNOWMOBILES. A HELICOPTER rises over the wall in a blast of

swirling snow. Its xenon lights rake through the trees,

casting lurid wheeling shadows on the snow.

ON Harry, snapping closed the ski boots he has stolen from one

of the disabled guards. He pops the boots quickly into the

bindings and takes off downhill with one of the guard's FN FAL

rifles slung across his back.
