GIBBONS:

We're gonna have to step in, Sam.

Those CIA boys couldn't find a clown

in a field of cactus. Let me take

care of it.

SAM TANNICK:

How will you fix it?

GIBBONS:

I'll go in with a team. But first

I'm going to need some intel. I'll

have to put someone inside, someone

new, someone they won't see coming.

One of their own.

SAM TANNICK:

So you'll dredge the bottom again.

You've done that before. The results

were... uneven.

GIBBONS:

You wanna find out about rats, ask a

rat. I've had my people put together

a talent pool. I downloaded it to

your desktop.

Gibbons snaps on the giant FLATSCREEN on Sam's desk. He starts

cycling through PHOTO AFTER PHOTO of TOUGH LOOKING MEN.

GIBBONS:

The usual prospects. Convicts,

contract killers, murde...

SAM TANNICK:

The scum of the Earth.

GIBBONS:

But programmable. And expendable.

SAM TANNICK:

I've seen enough. Turn it off.

Gibbons clicks off the screen.

SAM TANNICK:

They're degenerates. There's not a

man in there that would give a damn

if the Chinese took over.

GIBBONS:

That's exactly why we need them.

Sam sighs, stares out at the information room.

SAM TANNICK:

Get these "scum", Mr. Gibbons, bring

them in. Test them. Train them. Find

your man.

CUT TO:

EXT. SKYSCRAPER - DOWNTOWN LA - NIGHT

The huge ARCO TOWER rises up towards a moonlit sky.

We see ACCOMPLICE #1 (TRAVIS PASTRANA) sneak up and take

position behind a FOUNTAIN.

ACCOMPLICE #2 (CAREY HART) sneaks across a roof and takes

position overlooking the fountain position of #1.

ACCOMPLICE #3 (DAVE MIRRA) takes up position in the second

story window of a FLOPHOUSE HOTEL down the street.

A MESSENGER (BOB BURNQUIST) skates up to the front of the

skyscraper with a PACKAGE. He gets the attention of the

SECURITY GUARD inside. The Security Guard unlocks the door

and lets him in.

Just then a VAN pulls up and ACCOMPLICES #4 (SHAUN PALMER)

and #5 (MAT HOFFMAN) hop out. They open up the back and a

BICYCLE is rolled out of the back by a MAN IN A HOODED JACKET.

Jacket Man rolls the bike to the skyscraper and enters the

lobby.

INT. SKYSCRAPER LOBBY - NIGHT

The Security Guard is checking his computer.

SECURITY GUARD:

Crump... I'm sorry, no one by that

name.

K The Guard glances up as Jacket Man gets into an ELEVATOR.

SECURITY GUARD:

Hey! You can't go up there!

The Security Guard rushes to intercept him. The Messenger

kicks his skateboard out, TRIPPING UP the Security Guard.

The Messenger hauls ass out the door. The Security Guard

pulls out his WALKIE-TALKIE.

SECURITY GUARD:

We've got an intruder in the express

elevator!

INT. ELEVATOR - NIGHT

The button for "91 - ROOF ACCESS" is lit up. Jacket Man waits

patiently.
