Note: If you are new to the screenplay, or would simply like a memory refresher, be
sure to check out the archive.
INT. THE HACKING ROOM- NIGHT
SLOW ZOOM out of Nexus' computer as the same numbers scroll. The numbers start to cancel each other out, becoming slower and less rows scroll. Eventually the numbers stop altogether and convert themselves into letters, slowly forming an address.
Finally the screen flashes:
SCREEN
COMPLETE!
5230 W. Gardner Street Washington DC.
The Hitman nods in satisfaction.
EXT. THE ROOFTOPS- NIGHT
Lobo's numbers slow and finally work their way down in an identical way that Nexus' PC did.
Finally, the screen shows:
SCREEN
COMPLETE!
3211 Border Lane Seattle
Lobo clicks his fingers in triumph.
INT. THE AGENCY- NIGHT
The blood stream effect reappears. The Agent sits to the side, his mobile next to him.
The Operator scrolls down the page and sees a small icon at the very bottom of the page. He clicks it. It immediately takes him to 'IP TRACKER.COM'.
OPERATOR
So that's why he did it...
AGENT
What?
He walks over and looks at the monitor.
OPERATOR
He's tracked our IP. Now he's got our street address... He's got our scent.
AGENT
That ambitious son of a bitch...
OPERATOR
Should we expect him?
AGENT
Premature. I got word to Lobo. He would've tracked them by now. 47 will be dead in a matter of moments.
OPERATOR
...moments?
AGENT
So he says, yeah.
OPERATOR
What he says and what he does are two very different things.
AGENT
Seems it.
INT. THE HACKING ROOM- NIGHT
Nexus sits back, satisfied with himself.
NEXUS
Voila.
HITMAN
Impressive...
He writes down the address.
NEXUS
Nah, it was pretty lax security. I mean, no firewalls or anything. C'mon, even I have a firewall. What are these guys? Spooks? I bet they're spooks!
The Hitman is silent.
The DOOR BELL rings.
NEXUS
Oh, excuse me.
The Hitman starts packing up his things. Nexus walks out of the room and down the stairs.
INT. NEXUS' HOUSE- NIGHT
He walks up to the door and looks through the peephole. He sees nobody. He shrugs and opens the door.
NEXUS
Hello?
He is sent backwards by a SPAS-12 shotgun blast to the chest. He smashes against the wall behind him.
