Metropolis
A slick-black JET COPTER drops silently from the sky.
INT. WAREHOUSE - CONTINUOUS
Pieces of advanced computer technology lie scattered about
the large work table. A small kitchen and bedroom in the
back.
Speakers pour in one of Handel's aching melodies.
The music suddenly pierced by the shriek of a giant Bird
of Prey diving across the room.
EXT. STREET - CONTINUOUS
A tight knot of bodyguards disgorge from the copter.
Tense eyes sweeping the street, they finally give the all-
clear signal.
HALDEN, a charismatic bull of a man, emerges from the
copter. He moves with the confidence of someone who knows
he can't be touched.
INT. WAREHOUSE - CONTINUOUS
The sound of Handel's concert mixes with the sound of
TANNER sits in the middle of the room. He is early
forties, athletic build, and a face that holds too many
memories.
His insomniac-stained eyes studying the Holographic Chess
Board as the knight mounted on the Bird of Prey slaughters
a pawn.
DISEMBODIED VOICE (O.S.)
Visitors.
Tanner snaps his attention to --
Halden and his men head toward the warehouse.
INT. WAREHOUSE
Tanner's eyes harden at the sight of Halden. A long beat,
then he finally shakes his head in resigned disgust.
TANNER:
Permit entry.
The sound of dead bolts automatically sliding open.
MOMENTS LATER:
The bodyguards stand motionless in the corner, doing their
best to look like furniture.
Halden moves through the holographic chess board, his eyes
on Tanner.
HALDEN:
A legend fell tonight.
His stare now ripping into Tanner.
HALDEN:
The unrunnable maze. Impossible to
get through.
(thick smile)
Well, some kid just danced it like
it was some six bit video game.
Tanner doesn't blink. His voice matter-of-fact.
