Ten seconds, right?! The Staff Member BOLTS – PUSHING PAST THEM – they take a last gulp of air – GAS HISSES IN.

NEIL:

(urgent whisper) There’s someone in here with us! The Protagonist is up, moving down the corridor...

They arrive at two doors, side by side:

the Rotas vault. They each work on a door. Neil’s OPENS – NEIL (CONT'D) Need a hand?

The Protagonist works his door... nothing.

PROTAGONIST:

Actually, yes.

Neil leans over, hits ‘ENTER’, the door OPENS.

INT. ROTAS VAULT – CONTINUOUS The Protagonist enters a room, one side of which is a LONG GLASS WINDOW. Neil is on the other side of the glass, in an IDENTICAL ROOM. There are BULLET HOLES in the glass. At the end of each room is a tube, like a sealed in REVOLVING DOOR.

The Protagonist’s feet crunch BROKEN GLASS... Neil examines BULLET HOLES in the wall opposite the glass.

WISPS of SMOKE gather near the holes – Neil reaches up –

PROTAGONIST:

Don’t touch them –

NEIL:

What the hell happened here?

The Protagonist sees a STRIPPED AUTOMATIC PISTOL on the floor. He picks it up, thinking –

PROTAGONIST:

It hasn’t happened, yet.

Neil looks at the Protagonist, quizzical – A LOUD HUM STARTS UP from the revolving door... the Protagonist looks down – MOVEMENT beneath his feet – the DEBRIS – SMOKE GATHERS – the revolving doors ROTATE, OPENING – a BLACK-CLAD FIGURE in a GAS MASK LEAPS BACKWARDS from the tube – reaching behind itself to GRAB the stripped automatic in the Protagonist’s hand – On Neil’s side an identical BLACK-CLAD FIGURE LEAPS out FORWARDS – knocks Neil over, moving for the vault door – A SLIDE jumps into the Backwards Figure’s hand – he REASSEMBLES the gun in the Protagonist’s hand – a MAGAZINE jumping up to LOAD IT – BLAM!

ROTAS VAULT – CONTINUOUS The Protagonist STRUGGLES – the Backwards Figure PUSHES him towards the next bullet hole, STRANGE REVERSE GROANING building in its throat, behind the black gas mask, the GROAN PEAKING AS the Protagonist takes his PICK and STABS the Backwards Figure in the arm and SMACKS the Figure’s gun out of its hand – it BOUNCES out the door – The Figure RISES into the Protagonist’s arms – PULLS him backwards – we can’t tell if it’s PUSHING or the Protagonist is PULLING as they move backwards through the door – INT. CORRIDOR, VAULT – CONTINUOUS The Figure PUSHES/PULLS the Protagonist down the corridor – INT. CORRIDOR, FREEPORT – CONTINUOUS Neil RACES around a corner, GRABS the Figure’s MASK, which COMES OFF – he looks, SURPRISED, at the Figure’s face, WHICH WE CANNOT SEE, then TURNS, RACING back the way he came...

The Protagonist freezes – Neil steps up, DESPERATE – NEIL (CONT'D) We need to know if you’re compromised.

The Protagonist THROWS the Figure to the ground –

PROTAGONIST:

Why are you here?! The Protagonist tries to rip off the gas mask, but it is strapped tight – the REVERSE KEENING gets LOUDER and LOUDER.

The Protagonist STEPS onto the Figure’s injured arm... PROTAGONIST (CONT'D) Who sent you?! The Figure’s reverse screaming gets louder – the Protagonist KICKS its arm, HARD, AGAIN AND AGAIN – PROTAGONIST (CONT'D) HOW DID YOU KNOW WE’D BE HERE! A BOOM! from outside – AIR starts BLOWING ACROSS the Backwards Figure, SUCKING underneath the broken roller door – the Backwards Figure SLIDES impossibly across the floor and underneath the door which SLAMS shut, unbroken behind him.

The Protagonist and Neil look at each other...

NEIL:

We have to go.
