| Guard: What are you doing here?
Tawrens: Hi there, I'm supposed to report to research. Banning: Let's get on with it. His time is running out. Brant: As you can see, our brother here, is in the advanced stages of his regression of his original Theron form. In a few minutes his regression will be complete. What would have been? What we propose to show you is a process by which we can extend these human bodies, indefinitely. B: Just do it. Brant: As you can see they've perfected the regeneration process. A five minute induction will extend the human form a minimum of six months. And an additional five repetitions are possible before the breakdown of the DNA becomes...irreparable. B: That gives us an additional three years. Brant: More than enough time to reach the next stage. B: When will they be ready for distribution? Brant: For the moment this is the sole prototype. We use it to make copies. B: This is a remarkable breakthrough; You will be rewarded. Tawrens: Who the hell are you? Mira: I could ask the same thing. Who the hell are you? T: I'll take that. Mira: Give it back! T: This is mine. Mira: I don't think so! B: You are certain it left the building? Brant: There's no trace of it. There's evidence of someone tampering with one of the security systems, also tampering with the skylight in the lab. B: It was a Theron. No one else could have accessed the computer and erased our data like that. Brant: One of our people wouldn't have used such a a primitive means of entry as cutting the glass. B: Two intrusions, so we have a mystery. Mr. Dent is investigating and will arrive momentarily. Apprise him of every detail. Brant: You don't need that thing. We can handle this ourselves. B: May I remind you, Brant, that I have been here longer than any of us and my body might revert at any moment? Brant: I understand. B: That thing, as you call him, is the only one I trust to retrieve the device. Brant: You trust it more than you trust your own people? We've been loyal to your cause. B: Loyalty is wrapped up in emotion, Brant, like love, desire, and jealousy. Those emotions grow out of control through our obligatory dealing with the humans. They're dangerous, they divert us from our goals. Mr. Dent has none of these. Brant: And you? Do you manage to remain separate from human emotion? B: Of course not, Brant. As a matter of fact, when I viewed your device in action, I was filled with hope. Brant: And now? B: You don't want to know. Be thankful you're still alive. B: How did she get in? T: Came in and out from the skylight, very well equipped, knew exactly what she was doing. L: We have to find her. E: She is not the problem. Banning will just manufacture more. T: Well, he can't. I wiped out his database. That prototype is the only existing blueprint now. E: Well, that simplifies things. So we do have to find her, before Banning does. T: I'll find her. Come to think of it human females can be very exciting. B: Careful, man. You're on a slippery slope. T: Well, she was beautiful, fearless, strong and dangerous. I lot in common. D: I have found the intruders blood. Once we decode the DNA we can reconstruct the morphology. Brant: Good, let's find out who they are. ? Brant? D: We have her fingerprints, the rest should be easy. Banning: And the second intruder? D: Theron, he disabled the guard downstairs and left no trace in the computer room. B: Ethaniel? D: Or the other. B: Tawrens. [to Brant] Find the girl. Go. You must find the device, Mr. Dent. It's imperative to my survival. D: I'll find it. There is something about you and your demeanor, something different. B: That would be fear, Dent. D: Of course, I recognize it now. Yes, I'll retrieve the device. Mira: They scare me. Brady: You know, if this thing is, uh, as good as you say it is it could make our year. You know that? M: Ah, Brady, no drinking. Not until we move this. B: Why are you getting all serious for, huh? One little drink is not going to hurt you. M: If they people I stole this from find us your little drop will kill you, remember that. B: You better be right about this, Mira, 'cause I'm going to look pretty stupid if it turns out to be junk. M: Believe me, if you find the right buyer, we can retire. T: Ethaniel, I was apart of Banning's organization, I know how they work. If they have anything at all they'll have a face, prints, everything. B: Whoa, here we go. T: What? B: Unauthorized entry into the law enforcement database downtown. T: Okay, can you tie into it? B: I'm monitoring it. Oh, now there's a mugshot. T: Okay, that's her...Grab it! B: Pleasure. L: Mira West, Age 24. B: Reckless driving...that's it? E: That's enough. Can you get an address? B: 18 Flagstaff Road. That's not far, warehouses, lofts. T: Banning's got the information also. We have to get there before he does. E: Uh, Byder, um, why don't you see if we can get something more on her. You know, we might need if the address doesn't check out. B: Oh, right. We go after killer freak aliens and it's all 'Byder, we need you in the field' but cat-woman shows up and it's ' Why don't you hang back and find out her shoe size'. I want to renegotiate my contract. E: [to Laura] Stand guard. Warn me if anyone comes. M: What do you want? E: Mira, open up, we have to talk, you're in danger. M: How do you know my name? E: I came to get back the device you stole. M: Get lost. E: Listen to me, you don't know the people that you stole it from. You have to trust us. M: Next time, I aim higher. E: You listen to me, what you took is more important than you realize. I found you, so can they. D: Let's go. E: They'll kill you to get it back. M: And how do you know all this? E: It doesn't matter, where is it? M: Well, that's a company secret. L: Ethaniel. They're coming. I think they're using the fire escape. E: Start the car. Wait for me downstairs. Eternity Agent: Hold it. Put the piece down. M: Why don't you just leave me alone? T: Hey, we're just trying to save your life here. You could be a little bit friendlier. E: Tawrens! Meet us downstairs! M: You can get lost. Hey! Put me down! T: You see, those are the bad guys. I am the good guy. Bad guys, good guy. M: You brought them here. Dent: I didn't know Therons can fly. M: Uh...Ahh!..Aeeee!..Uh! M: Look, you can keep me here as long as you like, I've got nothing to say. L: Mira, I know this is going to be hard to believe but the man you saw being cured...wasn't human. M: You're crazy, the bunch of you. Look, this is about business, if you want that device back why don't you make me an offer. T: If you think we are going to pay you, you're crazy. One way or another you're going to tell us where it is. M: Oh, yeah, and what are you going to do? Torture me? T: I am thinking about it. M: Look, you big goon, you're lucky I didn't burn your face off when I had the chance. T: You know what? I should have left you back there at your apartment with Banning. M: All right, so you saved me from the big bad Banning. Thank you. Happy? Now get the hell out of my life. T: Hey. M: Leave me alone. Give me that, it's mine! L: A key, North Mount Mall. Maybe a locker? E: Let's go. T: Hey, I'll watch her. L: Who's going to watch you? Brady: Do you, uh, like the bikes? It kinda gives the place an atmosphere, you know. A nice environment to do business. Man: Screw the atmosphere, Brady. Let's get to the point. Tell me about this thing you're selling. B: It's developed by Cygnum Labratories, you know, top secret, hush, hush. M: What does it do? B: It heals people, like, uh, instantaneously, just like that. A thing like that barely has a price, but uh, for you I think we can work something out. Feeney: I want to see it. B: Good, good, I'll, uh, set it up. Say we meet back here, uh, in about an hour. Feeney: One hour. E: Tawrens is the toughest soldier I have ever known. You don't have to worry about him. L: I'm not worried about the soldier, did you see the way she was looking at him? E: He can handle it. L: It's dangerous, he doesn't fully understand human emotions and she understands them all to well. E: Well, she is attractive. L: Oh, uh, you like her too? E: Oh, I didn't say that. L: Right. E: I'm not attracted to her, in, you know, that way...if that's what you mean. M: You know, it's against the law to hold me here against my will. I could have you arrested. T: A strange thought coming from a thief. M: Uh, you got any ice? T: What do you want ice for? M: Never mind. Here, I hate to drink alone. T: Uh, oh, what was that? M: You know, there is something very odd about you, odd but cute. T: Look, do you know what? You're not like other women. M: Now there's an original line. T: Well, I mean you make me feel different than other women. M: Maybe I'm a different kind of woman. T: Why do you do what you do? Steal. M: It's what I do. It's what I've always done since I was a kid. It was either that or accept whatever they wanted to turn me into in all those foster homes. The only difference is then I stole small, now I steal big. That gadget was supposed to be the biggest. T: And the most dangerous. They will want it back and they will kill you for it. M: Just let them try. T: Oh, I won't let that happen. M: There are these people who aren't really people who want to kill me to try to get their machine back. What about you, how do you fit into all of this? T: Well, it's my job to stop them. M: It sounds mysterious. T: That's all I can tell you. M: Mysterious is good, and did I do that? T: Yup. Caught me by surprise. M: It's not too bad. You know, the way you moved that day was incredible, on the roof an in the lab. You're faster and stronger than any man I've ever seen. T: Huh, now there's an original line. M: I'm serious. You picked me up like I was a feather. You jumped down that chimney, it must have been sixty feet and caught me like a baby. It's not normal. T: Well, I keep trying to tell you that. You stumbled into something bigger than you can imagine. M: This is crazy, you, that machine, all those people coming after me. I thought my life was crazy, but this? What are you? A bionic man? T: What? M: Never mind. Do you know how long I've waited to meet a man like you? T: Why? M: We would be so great together, unstoppable. What do you think? Brady: Mira, come on...dammit Mira, where are you? I don't understand she was, uh, she was supposed to call. Look, I can have it for you tomorrow. Feeney: Why not next week, next month, next year? I thought you were serious. You're just wasting my time. B: Look, this thing is one in a million, okay? Believe me, when you see it you'll understand. Feeney: It's too late, you've wasted my time and that is unforgivable. B: Back off! L: Must be the other one. Here. E: Why was she trying to hide the keys from us? L: Simple, she's setting us up. M: You know, I meant what I said before, we'd make a hell of a team. T: First things first. Hmm? I gotta get that. M: Well, it was good while it lasted. T: That's impossible. Are you sure you checked the right box? There has to be a reason. Mira! Boatman: Hey, hey..er..UH! Hey! HEY! [to Tawrens] Did you see that? She pushed me out of my own boat! And you, what are you doing just standing there? Hey. E: This is the second time she's gotten away from you. T: I dropped my guard. I was distracted, I don't know why. L: There is no denying she is sharp. E: Well, she does have an affect on you, Tawrens. I've noticed that. T: Well, she's very interesting. E: Well, it's true, women are the more interesting sex. B: Anatomically speaking, of course. L: Did you sleep with her? T: We didn't sleep. L: How could you do that? B: How could he not? T: She was fantastic. Can can't even describe how I felt. B: Bye, bye, Tawrens. You're a goner. E: I can understand your fascination with all of this but you have a job to do. You can't let this get in the way of that. T: It's not going to get in the way. I found her once, I can find her again. E: She's probably not going to go back home. T: Probably not, but I know where she will go. Brady[Dent]: Brady M: Brady, it's Mira. BD: Mira, where the hell have you been? M: It's not my fault, they came after me. Listen, this thing is trouble, we got to unload it fast. BD: Tell me about it, I had a run in with them too. M: Are you alright? BD: Yeah, I'm alright, We've better be careful though. Do you have it? M: It's still stashed. BD: Feeney dumped out when you didn't show but I think I have someone else. He'll pay plenty but you better not screw up this time. M: Don't worry, I'm not about to screw this one up. This is the big one. BD: I know. Bring it here. He wants to see it work, I'll set up a meeting. M: No, the mall, ten 'o clock, the usual spot. BD: Okay, but you better be there Mira. M: You just worry about your end of things. M: Hm, pretty smooth, Tawrens. D: Okay, Brady, where's the usual spot? B: Who the hell are you? D: That's for me to know. B: What are you going to do to me? D: Probably kill you, unless you tell me what I need to know. B: Outside the mall entrance in front of the lobby. D: You better be right. E: You put a transmitter on her? T: Just because I like her doesn't mean I trust her. We're close. Where ever she is, she hasn't moved in the last hour. L: Why would she stop here? E: Good question, unless something's happened to her. L: Banning? E: It's just a matter of time. T: Okay, just up ahead. E: Are you sure the signal is coming from here? T: Yup. T: She's gone. E: She could be miles from here by now. L: At least we know where she's been. T: Okay, Mira, my move. Can we find out where she called? E: Yeah, Byder might be able to track it. Byder: What? E: I need you to write down this phone number: 555-0311. See if you can crack the phone company and find out what calls where placed here within the last hour. B: Oh, cracking the phone company, is that all sir? E: Can you do it or not? B: Yeah, I can do it but people like to consider this confidential information though, it could take a while. E: We don't have a while. T: Listen to me, Byder, her life is in danger. If Banning gets to her before we do I swear you are going to have to answer to me, do you understand that? B: I'm on it. Thanks for calling. L: What's that about? T: I just don't want her to get hurt, that's all. E: None of us want her to get hurt. T: Let's go find her. E: Thanks, Byder, I've got the location in front of me. We're on our way. She called a guy named Arthur Brady. Officially a motorcycle mechanic but he has a history, of dealing with stolen merchandise. He must be a fence. T: Then she probably set up a meeting. L: But with who? E: It's hard to say, probably not a lot of people in the market for something like that. T: I'm sure Banning put out feelers. E: Brady's place isn't far, can't we go any faster? E: Hey, Brady, you here? B: Please, no more, I don't have anything. L: He's over here. Who did this to you? B: I don't know, some weird thing, kept changing, he looked like me. T: Where's Mira. B: You have to help her, I was supposed to meet her but he went instead. T: Where is she? B: The Noth Mount Mall, you have to hurry, he's going to kill her. Go! L: Um, you gonna be okay? B: Yeah, Go! Ah! L: Yeah. BD: Mira. M: Brady, what the hell are you doing out there? BD: Waiting for you, where have you been? M: I've been here, where I said I'd be. BD: Nevermind, did you bring the gizmo? M: Of course I've got it. BD: Where? Let me see it. M: It's inside. BD: Alright then, come on. M: Get your hands off of me! DB: Alright, I'm sorry, now come on he's waiting...LET'S SEE IT! Bystander: Hey! T: Where have you been? I've been looking for you. L: Mira, MIRA. It's over, just give me the device. M: I told you before, make me an offer. L: You're crazy, as long as you have that thing your like is in danger. D: I'll learn your moves, I'll learn your weaknesses. Soon I'll be superior to all humans...and Theron's. E: Soon...not yet. M: MAKE ME AN OFFER. L: I have to say, right now it's a buyers market. Mira, it's the only way your going to get out of here alive. M: Take it. D: Give me the bag. We've had about as much fun as we're going to have here. WHO HAS THE BAG? Cook: She does, the lady up there. Cook: I'm getting out of here. E: He seems to be enjoying himself. M: Well, I guess I should have trusted you guys. E: Uh, we don't blame you, there's no way you could have known. L: Maybe next time you will concentrate on things like jewels, security bonds, things like that. B: Yeah, uh, we should hook up, I can get you some federal reserve pass codes is you want or... E: Byder. M: Thanks, but I think I'm changing my line of work. I'm getting tired of risking my neck. Se ya later, Byder. B: I'm so happy for you. M: Bye. M: Bye, Tawrens. Stay in touch. T: Bye, Mira. E: Well, she turned out to be a very sweet girl. I can understand why you're interested in her, Tawrens. B: Oh, man, time of my death is...Hey! Sweet girl, my ass, she took my watch. L: Mine too. E: Mine too. T: She got my wallet. Mira, get back here. D: Well...I retrieved it. B: You retrieved it? You've brought me a piece of junk. That is not what I ordered you to do. D: If it is a piece of junk, it is because it is a piece of junk when they made it. I took the same beating it did and I still function perfectly. B: That machine was a technological marvel, you...are a battering ram in human clothing. D: Perhaps, but no other machine can serve you like I do. B: Don't flatter yourself, I'd trade you for that regenerator in a second. Do you have any idea how important that was? B: OH, STOP SULKING. You look like I've hurt your feelings or something. D: I DO NOT HAVE FEELINGS. B: Is that so? D: I am far too efficient to have feelings. B: Efficient? GET OUT. END |
