SHANE:

Sir. Thank you. I... appreciate your

confidence.

Invigorated, he pulls off bandages, disconnects an IV,

and starts to rise.

SHANE (CONT’D)

I’ll need to put a team together. I’m

gonna need the mini sub, I need access to

an EP3 aries 2 spy plane...

BILL:

(interrupting:
)

Negative. It’s not that kind of mission.

Shane listens, intrigued.

BILL (CONT’D)

Two days ago, I got a call from the

professor’s wife... Widow. She told me

someone had broken into her home.

Searched the place, top to bottom.

9.

BILL(CONT'D)

She’s scared. The family’s scared.

Whoever killed the professor must think

G.H.O.S.T. is in that house. Maybe it is,

maybe it isn’t. Either way, I need

someone to stay at that house, and

protect them. And while you’re there -find

out if the program is in there.

SHANE:

That’s it? Why would you want me for

that, sir.

BILL:

The professor’s wife requested you.

Shane is surprised... Bill pulls a tiny tape recorder

from his pocket, presses play, we hear PROFESSOR

PLUMMER’S voice.

.

CHARLES (O.S.)

Honey, I’m alive. Listen: A lot can

happen between here and home -- if

anything happens to me, call Lt. Shane

Wolfe. He’s a good man... anyway, I

should go. I’ll call you in an hour. I

love you.

Shane is shocked, hearing the dead man’s voice.

BILL:

... You gotta problem with this mission?

SHANE:

Sirnosir. It’s just that... I’ve never

been very good with kids, sir. Not even

when I was a kid sir.

CUT TO:

INT. SHANE’S APARTMENT - NIGHT

Shane packs his duffel bag. He opens a drawer: There’s

five t-shirts, identical to the one he wears. He opens

another drawer:
Five khaki pants, also identical to the

one he wears. He opens the closet: There’s a massive fur-

collared coat. Hm. He rejects it.

Shane packs his duffel with military gear: GPS compass,

night vision goggles, camouflage vest, machete... they

all go in. Shane heads to the door, then goes back to his

chest of drawers. He reaches in, and pulls out a small,

old MEDAL:
the ribbon is faded and frayed. He looks at it

for a moment, then unzips his suit and pins it to the

inside, like it’s a lucky rabbit’s foot.

10.

EXT. SUBURBAN STREET - AFTERNOON

A taxi door opens. Shane looks like a bad ass, ready for

anything. He steps from the taxi onto an adorable TROLL

doll on the sidewalk. It SQUEAKS.

.

Shane’s P.O.V.: Julie’s unkempt suburban house, with toys

all over the lawn, and a “BLESS THIS MESS” welcome mat.

Shane double-checks the address. The sprinklers go off.

Shane darts to the door and rings the bell (it’s one of

those long cheerful doorbells).

WE hear TINY FEET approach -- then the door swings open,

Shane looks down -- and sees LULU, 8, peering up at him.
