INT. 91ST FLOOR - NIGHT

This fancy office is empty for the night. The STAIRWELL DOOR

opens and a PLATOON of SECURITY GUARDS rushes in. They take

Up position in front of the elevator doors armed with BILLY

CLUBS and TASERS.

DING! The elevator arrives and the door swings open. But

there's NOBODY INSIDE.

One Guard steps forward and suddenly a bicycle SWINGS DOWN

from the ceiling, TAGGING HIM IN THE FACE. He falls back,

TASERING another Guard.

Jacket Man drops down onto his bike and pedals through the

chaos before the Guards know what hit them. There's a CURVY

PIECE OF ART in the room, some kind of modern art statue.

Jacket Man rides up the artwork like a ramp and does a

TABLETOP AERIAL over a DIVIDER. He hits the ground pedalling,

the Guards hot after him.

Jacket Man enters a HUGE OPEN ROOM with a FIELD OF CUBICLES

in the middle. He bunny hops onto a desk and SLIDES TO A

STOP. He tosses back his hood and we get a good look at him

for the first time.

He is XANDER CAGE. He's got a shaved head, bizarre TATTOOS

all over his body and multiple PIERCINGS. He's lean and

heavily cut, even dangerous looking.

The Guards charge at him and he HOPS up onto the top of the

CUBICLE WALL. This thing is maybe FOUR INCHES WIDE and FIVE

FEET TALL.

He pedals across the top of the cubicle wall, the Guards

scrambling after him.

Xander bunny hops over one guy's head onto the next set of

cubicles and pedals hard. The Guards fall all over themselves

trying to catch him.

At the other end Xander catches air and lands on a CONFERENCE

TABLE. He does a WHEELIE across it's length with Guards

closing in.

Xander springs up and does a TAIL WHIP, knocking them back

with his rear wheel. He lands and pedals to the stairwell

untouched.

EXT. THE ROOF - NIGHT

Xander bursts out of the stairwell to the top of the TALLEST

BUILDING IN DOWNTOWN LA. He climbs on a RAISED PLATFORM.

From here he can drop down onto another level that is strewn

with SATELLITE DISHES and MICROWAVE RELAYS.

Guards rush onto the roof and try to corral him.

Xander tears off his jacket, revealing a BACKPACK on his

back and VIDEO CAMERA on his chest. He pulls out a ROAD FLARE

and SPARKS IT. We see there are SOAKED RAGS tied to his

SPOKES.

He LIGHTS THEM with the flare. Then he TOSSES THE FLARE off

the building.

EXT. STREET LEVEL - NIGHT

The Accomplices see the flare drop. #'s 1, 2 & 3 pull CAMERAS

OUT and start filming.

EXT. THE ROOF - NIGHT

Xander races around the roof like a trapped animal. He evades

Security Guards, picking up speed.

With Guards right behind, he drops off the TOP PLATFORM and

lands on a massive SATELLITE DISH.

Using the dish as a ramp, Xander LAUNCHES himself OFF THE

TOP OF THE BUILDING. We're talking 90 some stories here.
