MILOS:

We started over, you can too.

EMIL:

(furious)

You spent all the money while I was in

prison? Now you tell me to get a job

fixing toilets?!?

Emil pulls the knife away from Tamina - then angrily PLUNGES

it toward Milos' chest!

Oleg videotapes it. Then lowers the camera - shocked that

Emil killed Milos.

Blood sprays Tamina's face. She tries to run but Oleg grabs

her, not noticing her brushed gold bracelet falls to the

floor. He covers her mouth as he points the videocamera at

Emil who STABS Tamina - absolutely enraged!

THE WOMAN BEHIND THE DOOR

flees...Emil hears NOISE in the bedroom - a window opening.

Emil kicks the bedroom door open. Sees the window leading to

the fire escape. He dashes to it. Sees four flights down -

the WOMAN, wearing a summer dress. Barefoot. Her hair still

wet.

She looks up. She is beautiful and terrified. She runs

down the alley.

EMIL (CONT'D)

She saw!

Emil hurries toward the bathroom. She just got out of the

shower. Her underwear and purse are draped over a chair.

Emil grabs the purse. Finds a CZECHOSLOVAKIAN PASSPORT. He

opens the cover, stares at her photo and name.

EMIL (CONT'D)

Daphne Hanlova.

There's one stamp in the passport - from the U.S. when she

arrived - June 16, 1998. Underneath is written - 6 MONTH

STAY. Emil flips through the rest of the passport - all

blank pages.

EMIL (CONT'D)

Six month visa. Still here two years

later. They'll deport her if she goes

to Police.

Emil pockets Daphne's passport and wallet, scoops up her

shoes and jacket - enters the kitchen and dumps them on the

floor. He tears through the kitchen cabinets, throwing cans

and bottles aside.

OLEG:

What are you looking for?

Emil finds nail polish remover - looks at the bodies.

EMIL:

I'm going to make a bohemian barbecue.

Emil draws the kitchen curtains plunging the room into

darkness.

EXT. CENTRAL PARK - NIGHT

A face comes from the darkness. It's an athletically

handsome man, jogging out of a tunnel towards us. He's in a

tie and jacket in Central Park at NIGHT.

He is JORDAN (JORDY) WARSAW. A sensitive man of rugged

honesty. He runs down the hill in a hurry. A MUGGER steps

in his path.

MUGGER:

Got any spare change? How 'bout a spare

twenty?

JORDY:

Look, I don't have time for you, get out

of my way!!

MUGGER:

Alright, how 'bout all your f***in'

money?

The Mugger pulls a knife - and in a whirl of movement, Jordy

grabs his wrist and disarms him in a deadly, professional

manner - hurling him down to the pavement, twisting his arm

behind his back. With his other hand, Jordy whips out a

BROWNING 9MM from his shoulder holster and places it behind

the mugger's head. Jordy displays his shield.
