The boy starts walking blindly along the highway. The doors close and the truck drives away, leaving Paul behind.
EXT. AGIP GAS STATION -- DAY The phone RINGS. Gail picks up. Chace starts the car.
CINQUANTA (O.S.) Three kilometers down the autostrada is a drain pipe. Paul waits there for you. Get him out of Italy asfast as you can, I beg you.
EXT. AUTOSTRADA -- DRAIN PIPE -- DAY The truck is gone. Paul waits a moment, then pulls off themask. There's no one around. There's a town in the distance.
AERIAL VIEW:
CARABINERI POLICE CARS have begun to convergeon the scene from nearby villages. SEARCH TEAMS with dogscomb the forest. The are encircling the area. 111.
INT. COUNTING ROOM -- EVENING The money is stacked, bundled, zipped into the mailbags, andloaded onto a truck. Saverio Mammoliti hands out envelopesof cash to each of his employees, including Cinquanta.
CINQUANTA:
Grazie, Signore.
In the distance, we hear DOGS BARKING. Mammoliti stops:
MAMMOLITI:
Cane. Molti. Polizia. Tradimento.
Mammoliti climbs into his waiting Mercedes. To his men: MAMMOLITI (CONT'D) Tornare indietro e prendere il ragazzo.
(subtitled) Go back and get the boy.
EXT. AUTOSTRADA -- DRAIN PIPE -- EVENING The boy is gone. Gail is still, silent, frightened.
CHACE:
Footprints.
GAIL:
He's not here, Chace.
CHACE:
They made the drop.
Chace frantically searches the snow on the hillside.
CHACE (CONT'D) Paul's a smart kid. What would youdo? You wouldn't wait here for them to change their minds.
Then he finds it, tossed into the drain pipe:
the ski mask. CHACE (CONT'D) He ran.
Chace looks down the highway, until he sees it on a nearbyhilltop:
the medieval-looking village of LAGONEGRO.
CUT TO:
INT. GETTY MANSION -- MASTER BEDROOM -- NIGHT J Paul Getty wakes from his slumber with a start.
112.
GETTY:
Who's there?
Getty is in a bedroom decorated in the ancient Roman style.
A great log fire burns in the fireplace.
Getty sits up in bed; the room is unfamiliar to him. There's a strangeness to his surroundings, as if the old man has come unmoored, "2001"-like, in time.
