               PREVIOUS EPISODE MONTAGE - CONTINUOUS

                                   NARRATOR
                         Previously on "Cyberpunk show"

               Selections from scenes found in episode 1 and episode 2 are
               played to bring new viewers up to speed and to remind the
               faithful of what has gone on before.  Specifically we show
               COOLIGE and NEEDLE meeting for the first time (episode 1
               scene 3), NEEDLE talking to JACK about MOTHER ONE (episode 1
               scene 10), DIVER finding the box (episode 2 scene 3), DIVER
               talking to the thug about COOLIGE (episode 2 scene 17), THUG
               taking DIVER out of COOLIGE's office (episode 2 scene 18),
               and NEEDLE abducting DIVER (episode 2 scene 19).  This
               montage should last between 1.5 and 2 minutes, with the cuts
               between each selection highlighted with CG, as if being read
               from a datastore.

                                                       FADE OUT:

                                                       FADE IN:

               P.O.V HOTEL ROOM - AFTERNOON

               The hotel room is nondescript, looking like pretty much every
               hotel room out there.  NEEDLE'S face fills the frame,
               blocking out most of the details.  He is shining a small
               penlight into the camera.

                                   NEEDLE
                         Ah, you are awake.  Excellent.  I
                         was afraid the gas had an adverse
                         effect.

                                   DIVER (O.S.)
                             (groggy, annoyed)
                         Get that out of my face.  What
                         happened, who--

                                                       CUT TO:

               INT. HOTEL ROOM - CONTINUOUS

               The center of the room is dominated by a large bed on which
               Diver is laying.  Sitting next to her, and leaning over her
               is NEEDLE, who is holding a penlight.  DIVER bolts upright as
               she remembers what happened the previous night.  As she does
               we catch a very quick glimpse of flesh, just enough to notice
               that she is not clothed.  She snatches the sheets up and
               covers herself quickly.  NEEDLE clicks off the penlight and
               leans back warily.

                                   DIVER
                             (scared)
                         Keep away from me!  Where are my
                         clothes?!

               NEEDLE makes no move to back away.  Instead he stays exactly
               where he is.

                                   NEEDLE
                         They are somewhere safe.  You will
                         have them back when I have acquired
                         the package our associate MR.
                         COOLIGE was after.

               NEEDLE gets up and sits down at the table next to a large
               window.  He draws his pistol and begins to clean it.

                                   DIVER
                         You're not H-T, who are you?

               NEEDLE does not even look up from work.

                                   NEEDLE
                         An interested party.  Who I am is
                         immaterial.  You know where the
                         package is; we will obtain it and I
                         will be out of your life.

               DIVER looks around the room for a moment, as if sizing up her
               options.

                                   DIVER
                             (mock amusement)
                         Right, for however long that life
                         is.  No deal.  How about this, you
                         let me go, and I'll call you and
                         tell you where the box is once I'm
                         safe.

               NEEDLE finishes cleaning his weapon and points it at DIVER
               before responding.

                                   NEEDLE
                         Child, until that box is in my
                         possession you will never be safe.

               NEEDLE makes a minor adjustment on the site of the gun and
               then holsters it.

                                   NEEDLE (cont'd)
                         The forces arrayed against you at
                         this moment are far more powerful
                         then any of your scrounger
                         associates.

               DIVER snorts in derision.

                                   DIVER
                         Right, you're my knight in shining
                         armor. How stupid do you think I
                         am?  That box is the only thing
                         keeping me alive right now.  If I
                         hand it over to anyone I'm as good
                         as dead.

               NEEDLE stands and pulls the blinds aside on the window.  He
               looks through the window casually.

                                   NEEDLE
                         It will take COOLIGE time to
                         reassess the situation.  If you
                         won't tell me where the box is now,
                         I will wait.

               NEEDLE continues to peer out the window.  DIVER lunges for
               the phone next to the bed.

               ANGLE ON DIVER

               We see DIVER'S disappointment as she realizes the phone does
               not work.

                                   NEEDLE (O.S.) (cont'd)
                         I had the phone disconnected, I
                         find them a useless distraction.
                         As I was saying, we have time.

                                                       CUT TO:

               EXT. ALIAX ARMS HOTEL - NIGHT

               We begin on a close up shot of the ALIAX arms logo.  As the
               camera pans down we...

               PUSH IN ON WINDOW

               Illuminated in the light of the window is NEEDLE.  He turns,
               obviously in mid-conversation, and walks out of the window's
               view.

               PAN DOWN

               As the camera continues down the building we begin to see
               details of the street below.  The hotel is in a heavy
               commercial district.  There are no amenities on the street,
               just warehouses and other such structures.  A single stranger
               in a trench coat stands under a streetlight staring up at the
               hotel.

               ANGLE ON STRANGER

               A black sedan pulls up to the curb next to the stranger. As
               the stranger walks up to the car we see that it is a women,
               dressed in sort of black combat gear.
               She points up at the window briefly then slaps the roof the
               car.  As she turns the car glides down the street.

                                                       CUT TO:

               INT. HOTEL ROOM - CONTINUOUS

               DIVER is still on the bed.  NEEDLE sits at the table with a
               plate of some sort of Asian food in front of him. He is not
               eating, instead he is watching DIVER who is shaking visibly.

                                   NEEDLE
                         How long?

               DIVER reacts visibly, as if she had forgotten NEEDLE was in
               the room.  As she calms down a bit we hear her mumble...

                                   DIVER
                             (shaken, miserable)
                         fourteen hours.

               NEEDLE nods, he reaches into his pocket and pulls out an
               object.  All we see is flash of silver as he tosses it at
               DIVER.  DIVER tries to catch whatever it is but it slips out
               of her hand and lands on the bed in front of her.

               PUSH IN ON CANDY BAR

               We see that it is a nondescript chocolate bar.  It is not of
               high quality.

               ANGLE ON DIVER

               DIVER looks annoyed then sick to her stomach.

                                   DIVER (cont'd)
                         Gee thanks.  I'll just eat this and
                         my shakes will magically go away.
                         It's fucking Munge addiction
                         asshole.

               NEEDLE leans forward to say something, but before he does he
               glances quickly out the window.  We see a flash of light come
               from outside as NEEDLE throws himself on top of DIVER.

                                   DIVER (CONT'D) (cont'd)
                             (yelling)
                         Hey!  Get off of me you per--

               A loud detonation cuts DIVER off short as the window shatters
               into fragments.  Three small canisters flop onto the floor
               through the window.

                                   NEEDLE
                         Take a pillow case, hold it to your
                         face. Try not to breath.

               Before DIVER can really react gas begins to hiss out of the
               canisters.

                                   DIVER
                             (coughing)
                         COOLIGE?

               NEEDLE bodily grabs DIVER, wrapped in bedsheets and throws
               her over his shoulder.

                                   NEEDLE
                         H-T.

               In a crouching run NEEDLE crosses the hotel room to the door.
               As he reaches for the knob we...

               ANGLE ON DOOR KNOB

               The knob begins to turn on its own.  NEEDLE draws his gun
               quickly and points it at the door.  Before the door itself
               can open he opens fire, shredding parts of the door and
               whatever was beyond it.  He quickly kicks the door open all
               the way and rushes through it.

                                                       CUT TO:

               INT. HOTEL HALLWAY - CONTINUOUS

               white gas wisps out of the door way in the background. NEEDLE
               is walking quickly into the foreground with DIVER over his
               shoulder. Two bodies lie in a heap next to the doorway into
               NEEDLE'S room.  We hear a door open from off-screen and
               NEEDLE quickly brings his gun to bear.

                                                       CUT TO:

               INT. HOTEL HALLWAY (REVERSE ANGLE) - CONTINUOUS

               Over NEEDLE'S should we see a startled business man duck back
               into his room and slam the door.  NEEDLE sighs to himself but
               is interrupted by the sound of breaking glass and a scream
               from DIVER

                                   DIVER
                             (screaming)
                         On your six!

                                                       CUT TO:

               INT. HOTEL ROOM HALLWAY - CONTINUOUS

               NEEDLE spins around and fires his pistol repeatedly.  The H-T
               operative who had crashed through the window goes down.

                                   NEEDLE
                         My thanks.

               NEEDLE continues down the hall way, he stops at an unmarked
               door.

               ANGLE ON FIRE DOOR

               NEEDLE fires his pistol at the knob and kicks the door in,
               revealing a dank stairwell.  Without pausing he enters.

                                                       CUT TO:

               INT. STAIR WELL - CONTINUOUS

               NEEDLE heads up the stairs towards the roof.

                                   DIVER
                         Hey asshole!  The exit's that way.

               DIVER points down the stairs.  NEEDLE nods before remembering
               that she cannot see him.

                                   NEEDLE
                         Their helicopter will be on the
                         roof.

               NEEDLE continues up the stairs.

                                   DIVER
                         All the more reason to NOT GO THAT
                         WAY. That helicopter is armed, I've
                         seen it.

               When NEEDLE does not change direction DIVER begins to pound
               on his back.

                                   DIVER (cont'd)
                         Get yourself killed!  Put me down.

               NEEDLE sighs deeply as he reaches the top of the stairs.  He
               quickly checks the ammo load on his gun.

                                   NEEDLE
                         If you want to live keep quiet.

               NEEDLE transfers the gun to the hand holding DIVER and
               reaches into his coat with the other hand.  He removes a
               simple metal ball, about the size of a handball, from his
               coat.

                                   NEEDLE (cont'd)
                         In about 15 seconds I am going
                         through that door.
                         You would do well to hold very
                         still, we wouldn't want my aim to
                         suffer.

               NEEDLE opens the door a crack and rolls the metal ball
               through the gap.  He quickly closes the door again and waits.
               In a moment (about 7 seconds) we hear a muffled thud.  NEEDLE
               nods to himself and bursts through the door.

                                                       CUT TO:

               EXT. HOTEL ROOF - CONTINUOUS

               A black armored helicopter sits on the roof.  Nearby
               something is generating a pillar of oily black smoke.  A H-T
               guard lies on the ground nearby.  Two more guards are
               appearing from the other side of the helicopter.

                                   DIVER
                             (yelling)
                         Oh shit!

               NEEDLE begins firing in quick bursts as he makes his way to
               the helicopter.  He easily dispatches the H-T guards and
               boards the chopper.  Unceremoniously dropping DIVER in the
               cabin.

                                   DIVER (cont'd)
                             (annoyed)
                         Ow!

               NEEDLE points his pistol into the flight cabin at the pilot
               who nods quickly.  As the helicopter begins to rise NEEDLE
               pulls another pistol from his coat.

                                                       CUT TO:

               ANGLE ON STAIRWELL DOOR

               Several H-T guards are pouring through the door.  Followed by
               the woman in the trench coat whom we saw earlier.

                                                       CUT TO:

               EXT. HOTEL ROOF - CONTINUOUS

               ANGLE ON HELICOPTER

               NEEDLE starts to fire one of his pistols towards the stair
               well.

                                                       CUT TO:

               ANGLE ON STAIRWELL DOOR

               The woman rolls easily out of the way and returns fire.

                                                       CUT TO:

               EXT. HOTEL ROOF - CONTINUOUS

               ANGLE ON HELICOPTER

               NEEDLE'S pistol is shot from his hand.  As it falls to the
               roof below we see NEEDLE smile faintly as the Helicopter
               turns and streaks off into the night.

                                                       FADE TO:

               INT. HOTEL ROOM - LATER

               The woman stands in the room surveying the area.  She seems
               to take a great interest in the food on the table.  As she is
               examining it an H-T guard approaches her.

                                   GUARD
                         It's not here.

               The woman looks up at the guard annoyed.

                                   WOMAN
                         Alert your squad.  Until we know
                         where the box is one of them must
                         be taken alive.  I don't care
                         which.

               The guard nods to her in a motion that is part bow.  He turns
               sharply and exits the room.

               DISSOLVE TO:

               INT. HELICOPTER COCKPIT - NIGHT

               NEEDLE stands behind the helicopter pilot, holding his pistol
               to the pilot's head. As NEEDLE peers out through the cockpit
               window we see DIVER, wrapped in sheets, walk into the
               cockpit.  The pilot looks up at the noise.

                                   DIVER
                             (annoyed)
                         What are you looking at?  Fly the
                         fucking thing.

               The PILOT looks up at NEEDLE then slowly looks back to DIVER.

                                   PILOT
                         I can't keep this bird in the air
                         forever.  Where are am I flying to?

               DIVER turns to glare at NEEDLE.

                                   DIVER
                             (yelling)
                         That's question of the fucking hour
                         isn't it?

               NEEDLE says nothing, still staring out the cockpit window.

                                   DIVER (cont'd)
                         Well?  You wanted the damned
                         helicopter, what are you going to
                         do with it?

               Again NEEDLE does not react.  DIVER becomes visibly angry,
               almost ready to hit NEEDLE.

                                   DIVER (cont'd)
                         They'll track this damned
                         helicopter you know.  Jesus!  I
                         should have just stayed in the
                         hotel room, it would have saved
                         them some time.

               DIVER turns to stalk out of the cockpit, before she can leave
               NEEDLE responds.

                                   NEEDLE
                         Time is the key to my actions.  You
                         wanted to know where we are going.
                         That is fair.  Universal City.

               NEEDLE looks down at the pilot who seems a little shocked.

                                   NEEDLE (cont'd)
                         You can take us there?

               DIVER turns around to look at NEEDLE, the look on her face
               seems to say "You are completely insane."

                                   PILOT
                         You're the guy with the gun.

               As the pilot moves the stick to turn the helicopter we...

                                                       CUT TO:

               EXT. THE SPRAWL - CONTINUOUS

               We see the helicopter change direction and streak off into
               the hazy night.  Beneath the helicopter we see the skyline of
               the Socali Metroplex.

                                                       FADE OUT:

                                                       FADE IN:

               EXT. UNIVERSAL CITY PARKING LOT - LATER

               The Parking lot is cracked and broken, in obvious disrepair.
               Several smashed and looted vehicles are scattered about,
               remnants of a better time.  The black helicopter lands in the
               center of the lot.  DIVER and NEEDLE jump out of the
               helicopter.  As NEEDLE exits he slaps something silver onto
               the side of the helicopter.  NEEDLE turns to face the
               helicopter as it rises to leave.

                                                       CUT TO:

               MEDIUM SHOT UNIVERSAL CITY PARKING LOT - CONTINUOUS

               NEEDLE watches the helicopter streak away.  He seems to be
               holding something in his hand.

                                   DIVER (O.S.)
                             (sounding miserable)
                         I can't believe you just let him
                         go. He's probably already on the
                         radio.

                                   NEEDLE
                         I doubt that.  I gave him 600
                         credits to fly west for one hour.
                         I told him that after that he could
                         do whatever he wished.

                                   DIVER (O.S.)
                         Like 600 credits it going to make a
                         difference.  They'll --

               As DIVER complains we see NEEDLE press down on the device he
               had been holding in his hand.  In the distance a fireball
               erupts in the sky.

                                   NEEDLE
                         I also disabled the radio before I
                         disembarked.

                                                       CUT TO:

               EXT. UNIVERSAL CITY PARKING LOT - CONTINUOUS

               NEEDLE turns and walks towards the main Universal City
               structures.  DIVER hobbles along after him, as they walk off
               into the distance she loses her balance and falls into NEEDLE
               who catches her quickly.

                                                       CUT TO:

               EXT. UNIVERSAL CITY ENTRANCE - CONTINUOUS

               NEEDLE is holding DIVER who is shaking uncontrollably. NEEDLE
               sets her carefully on the ground, holding her as still as he
               can.

                                   NEEDLE
                         We have very little time for this.

               Through the shaking DIVER tries to maintain eye contact with
               NEEDLE.

                                   DIVER
                             (shaking, stuttering)
                         Need...  Hit...

               NEEDLE looks around for a moment, checking to see if anyone
               has noticed them.

                                   NEEDLE
                         Your addiction is not my concern.
                         If you cannot control yourself I
                         will be unable to protect you for
                         much longer.  The shaking will pass
                         soon.

               DIVER tries to get up but the shaking gets worse.  She arcs
               her back, every muscle taut and screams at the pain before
               collapsing back to the ground.  As the shaking begins to
               subside we can hear her sobbing lightly.

                                   DIVER
                             (through tears)
                         They're not going to go away.  I've
                         already crossed.

               NEEDLE reacts in shock.

                                   NEEDLE
                             (incredulous)
                         Then you--

                                   DIVER
                         Without another hit I'm dead.

               As DIVER struggles to stand once more NEEDLE helps her up.

                                   NEEDLE
                             (quietly)
                         How long?

                                   DIVER
                         There isn't much time.  Before
                         sunrise.

               NEEDLE points towards the buildings and begins to help DIVER
               walk.

                                                       DISSOLVE TO:

               EXT. THE DECKERS DEN - ESTABLISHING SHOT - NIGHT

               The neon sign blinks on and off as people walk by

                                                       CUT TO:

               INT. THE DECKERS DEN - MOMENTS LATER

               HOBBES stalks into the den.  His right eye is covered by a
               patch.  He has traded his trench coat for a faded flight
               jacket, the unit patch is too worn to make out.  HOBBES stops
               at the door to survey the crowd.

                                                       CUT TO:

               P.O.V. THE DECKERS DEN - CONTINUOUS

               The camera pans back and forth before centering on one of the
               booths inside the den.  Sitting at the booth is RED who has
               not noticed HOBBES yet.  RED is talking at his palm-top and
               laughing.  HE glances up quickly and reacts in shock an
               obvious fear to HOBBES.  He gets up quickly and tries to run
               to the STIMM door in the back.

                                                       CUT TO:

               INT. DECKERS DEN - CONTINUOUS

               HOBBES stalks forward and grabs RED by the back of his
               immaculate coat.  The other patrons of the bar quickly get
               out of the way, but otherwise make no attempt to help or
               hinder.

                                   HOBBES
                             (mock delight)
                         Red.  Old friend.

               HOBBES spins RED around and pulls him forward, bringing RED
               almost nose to nose.

                                   HOBBES (cont'd)
                             (threatening)
                         It has been far too long.

               RED smiles desperately and quickly tries to explain.

                                   RED
                             (semi-pleading)
                         HOBBES, please, you gotta believe
                         me, I didn't know!

               HOBBES frowns and tosses RED back into the booth.  Before RED
               can do anything HOBBES slides into the booth as well.

                                                       CUT TO:

               INT. DECKERS DEN BOOTH - CONTINUOUS

               HOBBES reaches into his coat and pulls out his gun.  He
               places the gun on the table, barrel facing RED.

                                   HOBBES
                         You have one minute.  I want to
                         hear it all.  Take longer than that
                         and you'll die slowly and
                         painfully.

               RED nods quickly and smiles a nervous smile, sweat trickles
               down his forehead.

                                   RED
                             (nervous)
                         It was supposed to be an easy job!
                         I didn't know someone else would be
                         operating in the building.  Look
                         HOBBES, when I found out what
                         happened I was horrified.  I
                         returned my commission immediately!

               HOBBES leans forward menacing RED.

                                   HOBBES
                             (quietly)
                         Who was the client?

               RED shakes his head.

                                   RED
                         No, you're just going to have to
                         kill me. You know how it works
                         HOBBES, I'm as good as dead if I
                         tell you anyway!

               HOBBES laughs and leans back, some of the tension has
               obviously dissipated.

                                   HOBBES
                             (still laughing)
                         I'm going to kill you anyway RED.

               HOBBES reaches into his coat again removes a single cigarette
               and a lighter.  As he lights the cigarette he continues.

                                   HOBBES (cont'd)
                             (now serious)
                         The only thing at issue here is how
                         long it takes.  Who was the client?

               RED suddenly realizes that HOBBES isn't joking.  He looks
               around quickly as if looking for a way out, when he realizes
               there isn't one he sighs deeply.

                                   RED
                         It was that hacker of yours, what's
                         his name...  JOHNNY.

                                   HOBBES
                             (angry)
                         You're full of shit RED.  How the
                         hell could he afford a job like
                         this?

               HOBBES leans forward again and RED flinches away

                                   RED
                             (pleading)
                         He couldn't!  I financed the whole
                         thing out of pocket for a cut of
                         proceeds!  He was going to sell
                         that damned box to someone.  Some
                         new operator in town goes by the
                         name of MOTHER ONE!

                                                       FLASH TO:

               FLASHBACK INT. HALLWAY ROOM 105 - NIGHT

               HOBBES stands in the hallway, he hears three gun shots and
               the sound of glass breaking.  As he spins around to face a
               door marked "305" he draws both of his pistols.  As he
               ponders what do we hear a muffled voice from behind the door.

                                   GIANT
                             (through door)
                         GIANT to MOTHER ONE, first target
                         neutralized.  Harp acquired.

                                                       FLASH TO:

               INT. DECKERS DEN BOOTH - CONTINUOUS

               HOBBES stands quickly and starts to walk away.  RED shudders
               in relief, glad to still be alive.  HOBBES stops and turns
               around.

                                   HOBBES
                         Goodbye RED.

               Before RED can say anything HOBBES fires his pistol three
               times into RED'S chest.  HOBBES turns to SPLAT as he
               reholsters his gun.

                                   HOBBES (cont'd)
                         Sorry SPLAT, it was business.  Bill
                         me for the booth.

               SPLAT nods slowly as HOBBES walks out of the bar.  RED'S
               blood-streaked palm-top, still sitting on the table of the
               booth, begins to ring.

                                                       FADE OUT:

                                                       FADE IN:

               INT. JACK'S ROOM - NIGHT

               Jack's room is a dark, lit only by the light of his several
               computer displays sitting, amidst discarded cans, dirty
               dishes, junk food wrappers and islands of paper trash on a
               nondescript desk of composite materials.  In the gloom can
               barely be seen posters, mostly views of the matrix and
               advertisements for cyberspace hardware, pasted at odd angles
               across the walls.  Directly in front of the monitors is a
               matt black deck.  There are no labels on the keys, in fact
               there are no distinguishing marks on the hardware at all.  A
               BOX juts out of the right side of the deck, it is identical
               to the BOX DIVER is hiding.  A teenager is seated in front of
               the desk with his back to the camera. All we can see is the
               large image of JACK'S TAG, a rotating blood red holographic
               chaos symbol sewn into the back of his jacket.  A ringing
               sound is coming from his computer.

                                   JACK
                         Come on RED answer goddamnit!

               After two more rings the primary monitor fills with RED'S
               face.

                                   RED
                         I apologize for missing your call.
                         Your business is important to me
                         and I feel absolutely terrible that
                         I'm not here.
                         Please leave your com-number and
                         message at the prompt so I can
                         apologize face to face.

               JACK cuts the connection in disgust.  After a second of
               sulking he leans forward and starts tapping keys feverishly.

                                   JACK
                         IF you're not there to take my call
                         let's see what you're up to...

               The monitor begins to display network connections as JACK
               hacks RED'S palm-top.

                                   JACK (cont'd)
                         Too easy.  I own your computer RED.
                         Let's cut into your camera feed and
                         see what you're up to eh?

               JACK hits a few more keys and the monitor fills with an image
               of RED'S head.  His eyes are wide and his mouth is open,
               blood trickles down from the corner of his mouth.  Blood,
               streaked across the camera, tinges the image red. JACK bolts
               backwards in shock staring in silence at the monitor image.

                                                       DISSOLVE TO:

               INT. COOLIGE'S OFFICE - NIGHT

               The view from the window has changed to that of a harbor, but
               otherwise this office is no different from the office at the
               "primary site."  COOLIGE obviously prefers to live a certain
               way.  COOLIGE is staring out the window, obviously deep in
               thought.  A small portion of his desk begins to blink red.
               Followed moments later by a small repeating beep. COOLIGE
               swivels his chair around and looks down at the light. After a
               moment he looks up.

               ANGLE ON THUG

               One of COOLIGE'S thugs stands at the door.

                                   COOLIGE
                         I used to enjoy my work.

               COOLIGE waves the thug out of the room.  As the thug leaves
               COOLIGE picks up a headset and places it on his head.  He
               taps the red portion of desk.

                                   COOLIGE(cont'd)
                             (pleasant tone)
                         Good evening.  I didn't expect a
                         call tonight.  To what do I owe the
                         pleasure?

               COOLIGE listens for a moment then stands up in shock.

                                   COOLIGE (cont'd)
                             (surprised)
                         Of course!  Why didn't I see it.
                         That was our leak!  Imbecile.  He
                         has always been discreet in the
                         past.

               COOLIGE shrugs to himself and sits down, as he does a small
               smile creeps across his face.

                                   COOLIGE (cont'd)
                         It is good to hear that our friend
                         RED paid for his mistake.  Quite
                         good indeed.

               COOLIGE'S smile disappears and a look of fear and concern
               replaces it as he listens to the phone.

                                   COOLIGE (cont'd)
                         No, of course not.  If anything
                         this simply makes our task easier.
                         I can now devote all of our
                         resources to finding the girl.

               COOLIGE listens to the phone again before continuing.

                                   COOLIGE (cont'd)
                         No, we still don't know how H-T was
                         able to track them down to the
                         hotel.  Their efforts are obviously
                         not being directed by standard
                         security forces.  It's no matter,
                         you see I know where they are.

               COOLIGE flinches involuntarily.  Obviously he was expected a
               different response.

                                   COOLIGE (cont'd)
                         Tracon reported a helicopter crash
                         in the sunset sector.  The
                         helicopter was an H-T security
                         asset.  However H-T has no holdings
                         in the sunset sector, nor do they
                         do business in that sector.  The
                         logical conclusion is that the
                         girl's erstwhile protector
                         appropriated the helicopter at the
                         hotel.

               COOLIGE spins around to look out the window again.  He places
               his hands in front of him in the classic scheming pose.

                                   COOLIGE (cont'd)
                         Universal city.  There's nothing
                         else there that would attract him.

               COOLIGE nods in response to something on the phone.  His
               smile returns.

                                   COOLIGE (cont'd)
                         My associates are already on their
                         way. I had hoped to surprise you in
                         the morning with a successful
                         conclusion to this business.  It
                         was going to be my gift to you.
                         After all, tomorrow is mother's
                         day.

               COOLIGE nods again before removing the headset.

                                   COOLIGE (cont'd)
                         I still enjoy my work.

                                                       FADE OUT.
