Not at all, Mathilda! I tell you because it's true! You'll buy the globe you told me about and you will choose, OK? We'll go where you want! I swear, you'll see, Mathilda!!
He kisses all over her face. Mathilda is a little confused.
LEON:
Come on, go! Don't let them find you! I finish this work and we meet at Tony's, OK? Spread your arms to do not fall too fast. So, good. At Tony's! One hour or two, OK? I love you, Mathilda!
He kisses her again.
MATHILDA:
I love you too, my darling.
He pushes her. She disappears in the duct.
Leon pushes his back against the hall and dries up his tears.
He shouts:
terrifyingly. In the corridor, three first line cops progress with gas masks; they decide to get in through the destroyed door.
Mathilda gets in the trash bin. She carefully looks out: nobody around. She gets out and recovers some weapons.
APARTMENT:
A wounded cop, mask on his face, gets out of the apartment and out of the smoke cloud.
He's therefore protected and taken over by another cop. He accompanies him a little farther.
A BOSS:
Get downstairs, guy, get down!
He slaps him on his shoulder. The wounded cop obeys and gets to the lower floor. He's someway surprised when he realizes the stairs are literally full of cops everywhere.
The wounded cop passes by his colleagues and gets down. Cops everywhere, sandbags. It looks like a trench warfare. He didn't yet pull his mask off. One makes him sit on a bench and starts pulling off his mask. A doctor comes in and checks out cop's arm. He pulls off his mask. It's Leon.
DOCTOR:
It's deep. You'd better get down to the ambulance, they'll care you properly. A cop chief doesn't recognize Leon.
CHIEF:
3rd district? ...A mess up there, isn't it.
Leon nods yes.
DOCTOR:
Let him breathe five minutes!!
(to Leon) Would you like me to take you down?
Leon shakes his head no.
LEON:
Let me put my mask on. I breathe better with it.
DOCTOR:
Yeah, right. Get down and wait for ten minutes. I'll get to check you, OK?
LEON:
OK.
The chief gets away. Everything seems to work properly.
