SATOR (CONT'D) Bite down on that... Sator moves towards her – she looks at the jewellery box on the desk – no way around him – Sator looks down at her. She looks up at his cold eyes...

KAT:

Even a soul as blank and brittle as yours needs a response. Is fear and pain enough? Because that’s all I have to offer.

SATOR:

Then it’ll have to do.

KAT:

Why didn’t you just throw me out?

SATOR:

If I can’t have you, no one can.

KAT:

At what point do you give up and kill me?

Sator shrugs, wraps the belt a turn around his fist... Turn over.

SATOR:

KAT:

Touch me, I scream so loud he hears.

SATOR:

You think I’d let him interfere?

KAT:

If he tried you’d have to kill him.

End of deal. So leave me the f*** alone.

A KNOCK at the door.

NOT NOW!

SATOR:

But he hears a RUMBLING... Sator, without a word, exits – EXT. SATOR’S YACHT, AMALFI COAST – NIGHT Sator GRABS binoculars from one of his men, peering out – A helicopter EMERGES from the darkness, THUNDERING IN... INT. GUEST STATEROOM, SATOR’S YACHT – CONTINUOUS The Protagonist listens to the incoming chopper – pulls on a black Windbreaker – quietly opens his door... INT. PASSAGE, BELOW DECKS, SATOR’S YACHT – CONTINUOUS The Protagonist makes his way, looking for an exit... EXT. SATOR’S YACHT, AMALFI COAST – CONTINUOUS The chopper descends to the landing pad – rotors turning as Sator signals his men to head in... EXT. SATOR’S YACHT – CONTINUOUS The Protagonist is on a roof overlooking the helipad... He watches Sator’s men remove a LARGE, GRUBBY CAPSULE and take it below as the chopper LIFTS OFF... INT. STORAGE AREA, SATOR’S YACHT – CONTINUOUS The Protagonist makes his way through the storage area.

Peering through a window, he sees – INT. ENGINE ROOM, SATOR’S YACHT – CONTINUOUS Crew gathered around the capsule. Sator enters, wipes dirt from the latches and opens it. Sator puts his hand over the open capsule, letting small, flat GOLD BARS leap from the capsule into his hand... he looks up, expectantly... The Crew SHOVES a CREW MEMBER forwards, onto his knees... eyes downcast, he reaches behind – pulls a gold bar from his rear pocket. He offers it to Sator with TREMBLING hands.

Sator takes it, eyes never leaving the Crew Member... who finally, tentatively looks up – BAM! Sator JABS him in the mouth with the gold bar, then SMASHES him over the head – INT. STORAGE AREA, SATOR’S YACHT – CONTINUOUS The Protagonist is REPULSED by what he sees... INT. ENGINE ROOM, SATOR’S YACHT – CONTINUOUS Sator steps back, breathless, from the Small Crew Member, who lies motionless on the ground.

As Sator raises his wrist to check his fitness tracker, BLOOD drips from the gold bar in his hand.

SATOR:

Ninety-eight. Not bad for such exertion.

EXT. STORAGE AREA, SATOR’S YACHT – CONTINUOUS The Protagonist SENSES, TURNS – CRACK! Volkov smashes his jaw – KICKS him in the ribs – pistol-whips him... INT. ENGINE ROOM, SATOR’S YACHT – MOMENTS LATER The Protagonist, bleeding, is SHOVED into the room –

VOLKOV:

He was at the window.

Sator looks at the Protagonist, who nods at the capsule –

PROTAGONIST:

I was curious.

SATOR:

My property shouldn’t concern you.
