THE INTRUDERS - walk to the access door. They are

armed, disciplined, well drilled. Movement is unhurried

but efficient. They carry submachine guns. A GUARD eyes them placidly.

Their LEADER speaks through a radio directly into the UST

intercom. He is assured and calm. The GUARD is bemused... drugged.

LEADER:

Hello.

GUARD:

Hello

LEADER:

We'd like to come in.

The guard is lethargic. The gas has sapped his will.

One part of his brain cannot accept what he is about to do. He

giggles softly at the thought of it, even as he is compelled to

obey.

GUARD:

(giggling)

You'd like...to come in...

LEADER:

Open the door please.

GUARD:

(still giggling)

Open the door?... Certainly.

The door pops open. They enter and pass the bemused

guard.

LEADER:

Thank you.

GUARD:

My pleasure.

INT. LAB AREA

Everyone is smiling...stoned. The

LEADER speaks to them like children, not to be funny, but because

low-key orders are the most efficient. They are completely

suggestible.

LEADER:

Hello.

TECH:

Hello.

LEADER:

We've come for the PEM114.

Where is it?

TECH 2

Right there.

LEADER:

Thank you.

The INTRUDERS step up to the lab equipment. Another

tech...steps forward...He is struggling against the effects of

the drug.

TECH 3

Wait.

LEADER:

Why?

TECH 3

You can't take that.

LEADER:

Why not?

TECH 3

The experiment. The danger...

THE VOICE is soothing, calming, hypnotic, but the

submachine guns are always in position.

LEADER:

It's alright.

TECH 3

It is?

LEADER:

It will be fine. You have another.

TECH 3

Just one. The back up.

LEADER:

Could I have it, please.

TECH 3

I can't get it out. It would take hours.

LEADER:

That's alright. Just tear it apart.

TECH 3

Tear it apart?

LEADER:

Yes.

TECH 3

Ahhh...Okay?!!!

He tears into a complex web of electronic circuitry,

ripping wires and circuit boards apart. With a POP, the circuits

go out.

The lights dip, the OVERHEAD VIDEO SCREENS go out

as the TECH comes up with the MAIN CIRCUIT BOARD.

THE SHRIEK of an ALARM SIREN. Suddenly a door swings

open. The LEADER'S gun swings on the figure in the doorway...Joe

Doakes. Joe stands in shock, looks at the gun, swings the

door shut behind him. The ALARM CUTS OUT. Everyone in the room

stares at him. he stands there rumpled and bemused, blinking

at them; Dustin Hoffman on drugs. Finally, the LEADER sees

he's no threat, relaxes his grip on the gun. The LEADER snaps out:
