IT IS THE AUTHOR'S INTENTION THAT THIS FILM WILL BE ANIMATED.
THAT'S THE WAY THE AUTHOR LIKES TO WORK ON HIS STORIES.
 FADE IN:

INT. INTERROGATION ROOM. DAY.

We are inside of an interrogation room, with someone, a boy,

18 years old. He's Connor. He's sitting, looking front.
There's a tape recorder in front of him, waiting there like if
nothing really mattered. There's a camera standing in front of
him. Then, we hear someone getting in. He has his hair combed
to the left side. He's 48. The Big Bad Wolf. The Bad Guy. The
Giant. FRANCO.
FRANCO
Alright. Is your name Connor Santana?

CONNOR
Yes sir.

FRANCO
OK. Sorry if i ask your name, i thought you were the
incorrect one. And don't call me "SIR" or we won't be friends.
Just call me FRANCO. If it is too long for you, then "Frank".

CONNOR
OK, Mr. Frank.

Franco chuckles.

FRANCO
I never thought you would be funny.

CONNOR
It happens sometimes.

FRANCO sits in front of him.

FRANCO
It's OK. I'm not a cop, I'm not going to arrest you or
anything. I just want to ask you some questions and you're
gonna have to answer me.

CONNOR
Are my parents here?
 FRANCO
They are. They're outside the room. But as long as I'm
asking you these questions, you are not able to make any sort
of contact with them. It's alright, they're gonna be short
questions. Are we good with that?

CONNOR
Yeah. We're good.

FRANCO
I guess you might wonder why me and my men brought you
here, right? Cause if you know, that's a good thing. Do you
know?

CONNOR
Isn't because of that kid Evan?

FRANCO
Ok. You know, that's a good thing. Alright.

He presses the record button on the tape recorder. It starts

recording. Then, he stands and presses the red button on the
camera. Both the tape recorder and the camera start recording.
He sits back.

FRANCO
This is July 1, 2039. I'm in the New Mexico Police
Department. My name's FRANCO Vitalich. With me, there's Connor
Santana, who agrees to be a neighbor of this kid, Evan
SKYLANDER.
(to Connor)
Now Connor, I need you to tell me any information you
have about the now known and recently fugitive boy Evan
SKYLANDER.

Connor just thinks.

CONNOR
Well, how do you think i should start? Should i start
somewhere or...?

FRANCO
Start from the beginning. When did you first met Evan?
 CONNOR
Uh, let's see. I --

He takes a moment.

FRANCO
That's alright. You can take your time.

CONNOR
No, no, no, no. I'm not gonna take long. I just -- I
don't think I'm doing the right thing.

FRANCO
What you're about to do will help us.

CONNOR
What's gonna happen if you catch Evan? What will you do
with him?

FRANCO
We'll just ask him a few questions.

CONNOR
And then?

FRANCO
We'll just keep asking him a few more questions.

Connor sighs.

CONNOR
I just don't want you to hurt him, that's all. He's my
best friend.

FRANCO
We will not take the risk.

CONNOR
Alright.
(sighs)
I first met Evan when he moved to my neighborhood. That
was like lots of years earlier.

FRANCO
 Did you knew him very well? Like, you've met him in
person or something?

CONNOR
I knew him. Like the palm of my hand. He used to be the
kind of kid who never got out much. But he did went to school.

FRANCO
Alright, and in school, in your neighborhood, in any
other place, did he showed you, you know like, the things he
can do?

CONNOR
I never knew about those things until the moment in which
he knew them by himself. But at nights, some strange things
happened.

FRANCO
What kind of weird things?

CONNOR
At nights, the houses were shaking. And the ground was
also shaking. Like an earthquake simulator or something like
it. They only lasted for like 1 minute. It kept going for two
weeks.

FRANCO
Do you have any sort of recent contact with him?

CONNOR
No. I mean, yes, but he didn't told me where he was going
or who he was going with. He just went off and he just
disappeared.

FRANCO
And do you know where he went off to exactly?

CONNOR looks like he knows it. But doesn't want to answer it.

FRANCO
Come on Connor. Our lives depend on you.

CONNOR
He just told me he was with this Uber Driver. And two
more people.
 FRANCO
Alright, that's good. Where did they were going?

CONNOR
I don't-I have no idea. He didn't told me.

FRANCO
He didn't told you where he was going but he did told you
who he was going with. Is that correct?

CONNOR
Yeah, that's correct.

FRANCO
Alright. Well, i guess that'll be it. See? I told you it
was gonna be short.

Franco stands, so does Connor.

FRANCO
I hope we see each other soon.

They perform a hand-shake. They begin to exit the room.

CUT TO:

INT. CONNOR'S ROOM. NIGHT.

Connor has his phone with him. He is on his contacts. We see

on his phone the words: EVAN. He wants to press on the "CALL"
button. But he's afraid that it will risk his life. He calls
him anyway. It beeps. The phone is answered.

evan (on phone)

Hey.

Connor is surprised to hear that voice.

evan (on phone)

Con? You there?

CONNOR
Hi.
 evan (on phone)
Hey.

CONNOR
Ho-How are you?

evan (on phone)

So far so good, you?

CONNOR
I'm good, right here. Can't stop being interviewed to
shit.

evan (on phone)

Have you told anything yet or...?

CONNOR
No, i haven't told anything about you, or your friends,
or where you're going. You and me are good, alright?

evan (on phone)

Glad to hear that.

CONNOR
Dude, where are you?? I've been trying to reach you for
days. Are you ok?? What happened???

evan (on phone)

I'm good. Alright. I'm ok. I'm fine. Are you alone? No
cops around you?

CONNOR
I'm on my room. I'm on my own right now.

evan (on phone)

Good.

CONNOR
I've heard about what happened. At the hospital. Your
brother....I'm so sorry, man.

evan (on phone)

Yeah, I'm sorry too. Con, can i tell you something?
 CONNOR
Sure. Yeah. Anything. What is it?

evan (on phone)

I don't think i might come back.

CONNOR
Why?

evan (on phone)

I'm being hunted by a group of fuckers. I don't know what
they want. I'm sure they want me. They want to take me
somewhere, i guess.

CONNOR
Well, is there anyway that you can come back??

Evan, on the phone, inhales and exhales.

evan (on phone)

I don't know. Maybe. I'm working on it, but I promise
that I will try to come back.

CONNOR
Ok.

evan (on phone)

It's just that.....I don't want to risk your life. I
don't want to put you in danger.

CONNOR
I know. The streets nowadays are filled with dangerous,
fucked up people like the bad guys you mentioned. Pretty much
my life has always been in danger when I'm living here. But
i'm glad about what you're telling me.

evan (on phone)

Alright.

CONNOR
Are you alright in there, buddy?

evan (on phone)

 Yeah, i'm fine. I promise, and I don't know when that
moment will come, but I promise to you that I will come back.
Ok??

CONNOR
Alright. Look, I guess I'll see you later, buddy.
Alright?

evan (on phone)

Yeah. Alright buddy.

He hangs up.

Connor is left there, thoughtful.

HARD TO BLACK.

SUPER TITLE IN WHITE:

EARLIER
INT. EVAN’S HOUSE - EVAN’S ROOM. MORNING. DAYS EARLIER.

A BOY
wakes up from a nightmare. He strongly pants. He is introduced
to us. He is EVAN SKYLANDER. 14. Brown eyes, brown scruffy
hair.

He is sweaty and pants. He looks around. He realizes he’s on

his room.

He lays back on his bed, sighing.

CUT TO:

LATER:
Evan is finishing dressing up. HE’S WEARING A RED CHICAGO RED
BULLS SWEATER (that's clearly showing the BIG HORN CHARACTER
LOGO and the words CHICAGO BULLS above of the LOGO), WEARING
BLUE JEANS AND BLACK BOOTS. His most classical clothing.

He prepares his backpack with stuff and as he finishes, he

walks to the door. He is finally out of his room.

CUT TO:

INT. EVAN’S HOUSE - DAN’S ROOM. MINUTES LATER.

A YOUNG MAN, 24 YEARS OLD, is watching TV while lying on bed.

He’s ill, but not “dying” ill. It’s like if he had influenza.
He is DAN.

Three knocks on the door are emitted.

DAN
Come on in!

Evan enters into the room. He has a plate with a ham and
cheese sandwich on it.

EVAN
Hey there.

He leaves the plate on the furniture next to the bed.

DAN
You made breakfast for me?

EVAN
Of course.

DAN
You’re going out now?

EVAN
Yeah. Remember, if something happens, call the school so I can
come back to the house, ok?

DAN
You got it.

EVAN
You remember the number?
 DAN
I always do.

EVAN
Alright.

Evan kisses Dan on the head.

EVAN
I’ll be right back.

He walks out. But before he can do that:

DAN
Ev?

EVAN
(turns to dan)
Yeah?

DAN
Can you please go to the pharmacy after school to get more
medications?

EVAN
They ran out again?

DAN
Yeah, they did.

EVAN
Alright, I will.

DAN
Thank you. Have fun at school.

EVAN
I’ll try.

He walks out.

EVAN
Bye!
 DAN
Bye.

CUT TO:

INT. NEIGHBORHOOD. SECONDS LATER. / EXT. EVAN’S HOUSE. SECONDS

LATER.

Evan exits his house and walks on the neighborhood.

CUT TO:

INT. CITY STREETS. MINUTES LATER.

Evan is walking to the bus station. And luckily, there is an
empty bus driving to the station.

CUT TO:

INT. BUS. SECONDS LATER.

Evan gets inside the bus. The bus begins to drive.

Evan sits on a seat next to the window. He rests his head next
to the window. He puts his earbuds on and he turns his phone
on.

We can clearly see that he is looking in the music section. He

presses a song and it begins to play. He is relaxing.

ON SOUNDTRACK: “MY SWEET LORD (2014 MIX)” by GEORGE HARRISON

Evan closes his eyes and feels the rhythm of the music. He
quietly hums the song.

We then focus on the window...

...and the film’s title shows up. It shows up as we focus on

the city passing by.

CUT TO:

EXT. SCHOOL. MINUTES LATER.

What used to be an old, fashioned, kid-friendly, antiquated

school, now looks like a fucking dump. The students mill
around outside. Some walk to the school and some just wait
outside the school, chatting to other students.

Evan enters the school. He’s still listening to the music on

his earbuds.

Then, A CHUBBY, FRECKLE-FACE BULLY strongly pushes Evan, who

falls to the ground.

BULLY
Out of the way, you fucking freak.

His two goons laugh with him. The three boys walk out. Evan
stands up. CONNOR, who just entered the school seconds
earlier, walks to him.

CONNOR
Hey man.

Evan turns to him.

EVAN
Hey, Con.

They perform a high-five with each other.

CONNOR
Forget about Buford. He’s a fucking prick.

EVAN
That’s alright.

They walk on the hallway, talking. The bell rings.

CUT TO:

INT. CLASSROOM. LATER.

All the students are sitting on their spots. ELLA TAMAYO (the
teacher), around 27 years old, brown and tremendously
beautiful, is teaching Poetry on class.

ELLA
Now, can anyone of you tell me what
Poetry is?
The students take their time in answering the question. They
start to think.

ELLA
Anyone?

A STUDENT raises his hand. ELLA catches her. It's EVAN.

ELLA
Yes, EVAN?

EVAN
I think that Poetry like a Poem. I
think that is when you write someone
a very thoughtful and beautiful
letter that contains Poetry and Poem
in it.

ELLA
Good. That was good. Poetry can be
interpreted as Poem, or as a verse or
as a rhythmical composition --

ELLA can't help notice two students, a boy and a girl,

flirting, kissing and giggling.

ELLA
(to flirting students)
Guillermo.

The two students notice.

ELLA
Can you please explain to me, and to
the class, why are you sitting there
with Esti? Seriously, to be honest,
you two look like leeches.

All the students laugh.

ELLA
What's wrong with sitting with
Edward? Is he a bad partner to you?
Is he stressing you out? Or you just
like sitting with Esti because you
think she's a better "partner" than
him?

Guillermo thinks about this for a second. He stands and walks

to Edward. He sits next to him.

ELLA
Thank you. Now, as i was saying---
 CUT TO:

LATER:

The bell rings.

ELLA is sitting on her chair, checking something on her

notebook.

All students exit to recess.

EVAN walks to ELLA.

EVAN
Hey, Mrs. Tamayo.

ELLA manages to notice EVAN.

ELLA
Hey there EVAN.

EVAN
You checked the homework that I sent
to you?

ELLA
I did.

EVAN
And...Did you liked it?

ELLA
Truth?

EVAN
Truth.

ELLA
I didn't liked it.

EVAN's face changes.

EVAN
Oh.

ELLA
I loved it.

EVAN's face immediately changes. He smiles.

EVAN
Really?
 ELLA
Yeah. You know what else I loved
about it? The way you decided to
write the poem. It was so explicit,
yet so unique and special.

EVAN
Yeah, well, that's the way I like to
work.

ELLA
I hope you can continue to work more
often like this. I have faith in you.
By the way, changing the theme, how's
your family?

EVAN
They're fine. Yeah.

ELLA
How's Dan? Is he good?

EVAN
He's hanging in there.

ELLA
That's good to hear.
How are you doing? You good?

EVAN
Yeah, I'm doing fine here.

ELLA
Good. I'm gonna have to check your
poem again. I think I'm gonna have
another fucking orgasm the second
time I read it.

EVAN chuckles.

ELLA
Go to your friends. I'll decide your
note for your poem.

EVAN
But, it's a good one, right?

ELLA
Yeah, it's good. It’s a great one,
actually. You don't have to worry
about it. It's a good one. I promise.

EVAN
 Alright.

EVAN walks off.

ELLA
Have a good time out there.

EVAN
I’ll try!

CUT TO:

INT. SCHOOL PLAYGROUND. SECONDS LATER. RECESS.

Evan is reunited with his friends on the playground.

Then, YOVANNA, a cute 14 year old girl, approaches Evan with

her two friends.

YOVANNA
Excuse me. Evan?

Evan notices her.

EVAN
Yeah?

YOVANNA
(presents a couple of cards)
Can you levitate them?

EVAN
I’m sorry?

YOVANNA
Can you do a magic trick with them?

Evan, convinced, stands up and takes the cards. He stands on

the middle of the playground, and he puts the cards on the
ground.

Yovanna, her friends, Connor and Evan’s friends look at him.

Then, Evan inhales and exhales. He closes his eyes. Then, he

makes the cards to separate and levitate. All the students
watch him, shocked, stunned and surprised.
 EVAN
Now, there are no rules in powers.
use them, like me. And, be careful,
correct manner or way, if you get
then, you're gonna
You just need to learn to
if you don't use them in a
obsessed with it so much,
lose them.

Evan is doing tricks with it. Amazing tricks. Like magic

tricks. The cards then are doing amazing tricks, like 3D
tricks, impressive tricks that are assured to blow your mind.
The cards, then, landed on his right hand, as he grabs the
cards and gives them back to a smiling Yovanna. The students
clap and cheer at him. Evan takes a bow.

EVAN
Thank you so much.

CUT TO:

INT. SCHOOL ENTRANCE. LATER. AFTER SCHOOL.

Evan, Connor and Connor’s little brother, LIONEL, 12 years
old, walk together, chatting and laughing.

LIONEL
By the way, man. Your trick was impressive.

FRANCO (O.S)
Very impressive indeed.

The three boys gasp. They turn to see a man, FRANCO, walking
to them. But most especially, walking to Evan.

FRANCO
I've been looking for you a lot, Evan. In fact, I have a place
with kids like you, and we'll be proud to get you there.

EVAN
A place with kids like me? Like the Charles Xavier home for
special kids?

FRANCO
You read a lot I suppose. Want me to show you the place?
You’re gonna love it.

Evan looks worried.

 EVAN
I don’t think my big brother would like that idea.

FRANCO
Your big brother? Daniel? Is he here?

EVAN
How do you know about my brother? Are you a pedophile or
something?

A PARENT approaches to the scene, worried and disrupted, and

preoccupied.

PARENT
Excuse me boys, is there a problem here?

FRANCO
I don’t know. Ask him. Should there be one?

EVAN
(to lionel and connor)
Alright, you know what? Let’s just get out of here.

The three boys walk out. Franco looks at them go. He smiles
maliciously.

CUT TO:

INT. PHARMACY. DAY.

The pharmacy looks almost empty. There's small groups of

people in different aisles.

The TV is on, speaking some messages on a loudly way.

Entering into the pharmacy is the hero of our story: EVAN.

evan
(to cashier)
Hey.

CASHIER
Hi, Evan. You're coming for the medications?
 evan
Yeah.

CASHIER
How's your brother?

evan
He's just -- hanging in there.

CASHIER
Glad to hear that.

evan
Thanks.

The CASHIER walks to get some medications. Evan looks at the

TV: A reporting of various shots of violence, madness and
corruption on the city. People causing massive fires, stealing
stores, breaking into some places, doing the typical shit that
they do.

TV (O.S)
...continuing our story, last night the small store named
"MARIO'S STORE" was violently vandalized by a group of
individuals...

Evan pays so much attention to this. Then, the CASHIER

approaches to him, holding medications on his right hand.

CASHIER
Evan.

Evan turns to him.

evan
Hey.

CASHIER
(presenting the medications)
Here they are.

evan
Oh, great, How much would that be?

CASHIER
 3,99.

Evan takes money from his wallet. He gives it to the CASHIER.

CASHIER
(hands him the medications)
Here you go.

evan
Thanks.

Evan turns as he walks off with the medications on his hand.

He keeps it on the sweater pocket. He walks off the pharmacy.

CASHIER (o.s)
Have a nice day!

evan
I'll try!

Evan finally exits the pharmacy.

EXT. PHARMACY/INT. CITY.

Welcome the future. It looks dystopian. It looks just like the

dystopian future from "A Clockwork Orange". There's no flying
cars, no androids, no fancy holy-shit clothes, no fancy
decorated stores. Nothing futuristic. Just this: Society
itself reigning the streets. It's troubled times indeed. The
unemployment rate is rising, just like the crime rate in the
city. The time? Let's just call it 2039 and just leave it like
that.

Welcome to dystopian Chicago, a not very futuristic city.

Looks like the A Clockwork Orange ambient: The worst future
scale. There's no flying cars, or hoverboards, or anything. We
can barely see that in some streets the garbage strike has
crippled all over the streets. Truth is that it's been 8 weeks
since this happened. And where the fuck are the garbage
trucks? Nobody knows.

Evan walks on the city. He walks with his hands on his pocket.

Some people walk past him. They pass Evan. Evan passes by an
alley, where we see TWO GUYS beating the shit out of a COLLEGE
STUDENT. But nobody here wants to help. Nobody in here gives a
shit.

Evan passes by the alley and he just walks off. Just like
that.

INT. TAXI STOP. SECONDS LATER.

Evan taps on a taxi window. The DRIVER notices, and rolls down
the window.

driver
You want a ride?
INT. TAXI. SECONDS LATER.

ON SOUNDTRACK - FOLK IMPLOSION, RAISE THE BELLS.

The TAXI is driving through the city. Evan is on the backseat.
He looks at the city passing by. Stores, houses, apartments,
people. All of that passing by. Evan puts his sweater hat as
his pillow as he watches how the city passes by.

CUT TO:

INT. NEIGHBORHOOD. MOMENTS LATER.

Evan walks by many houses. Then, he finally enters into his

house.

INT. EVAN'S HOUSE. SAME.

Evan SKYLANDER gets in through the main door. He enters

quietly. He leaves the keys under the carpet, CLASSIC TRICK.
He closes the door gently. He SIGHS. He walks to the stairs.

INT. EVAN'S HOUSE - DAN'S ROOM. SAME.

Evan enters into his older brother's room. He sees his older
brother, DAN, sleeping on the bed. He's obviously ill.

Evan approaches to the furniture and leaves the medication

there. As Evan walks off--

dan
How was it out there?
Evan turns and sees his brother, half-awake, half-asleep.

evan
It's -- stable. Have you got your breakfast?

Dan
I can't stand up. My whole body hurts.

He tries to accommodate, but he grunts in pain. Evan

approaches to him but Dan stops him.

dan
That's okay. I'm fine. Don't worry.

Evan backs off.

evan
Want me to prepare you some breakfast?

dan
Sure.

Evan walks off, to the kitchen.

CUT TO:

INT. EVAN'S HOUSE - kitchen. SAME.

This is where Evan's powers act: As he searches for cereal,

the yogurt, as if it was like some sort of magic trick,
levitates. It is being opened by itself. The cover is thrown
to the trash. Then, a spoon levitates into the yogurt and
begins to extract it. The extracted yogurt falls to a plate.

Evan approaches. He takes the levitating empty yogurt and

throws it to the trash. He puts the cereal inside the yogurt.

CUT TO:

INT. EVAN'S HOUSE - DAN'S ROOM. SECONDS LATER.

Evan arrives with the yogurt with cereal plate on his hand.
 Evan
Yogurt with Cereal, straight right from the oven.
(hands it to Dan)
Here you go.

Dan
(takes it)
Thanks.

He begins to eat the yogurt with cereal.

evan
Do you like it?

dan
Yeah, it so good.

Evan looks at him eat.

evan
I'll be in my room if you want anything.

dan
Sure, I'll be here.

Evan exits the room.

CUT TO:

INT. EVAN'S HOUSE - EVAN'S ROOM. SAME.

Evan is listening to some music on his phone. Above of him,

there's a Superman toy, levitating. The toy makes a flying
position, like if the toy was flying. But the toy is just
levitating with the flying position. Evan hums the music on
his ears.

Then, his phone buzzes. He answers it.

evan
Hello?

TREVOR (ON PHONE)

Evan? Is that you?
Evan gets surprised when he hears that familiar voice. The
voice of a long time friend.

evan
Trevor?

TREVOR (ON PHONE)

Yeah, it's me. Thank God it's you, I've been trying to
reach out for your number but i couldn't find it.

evan
Oh. Well, now you've found it.

TREVOR (ON PHONE)

Yeah. How are you doing?

evan
Surviving. Still trying not to do the "overuse". But
good, yeah.

(OVERUSE MEANS THE MUCH USING OF POWERS, IF YOU USE YOUR

POWERS FOR A LONG EXTENDED TIME, YOU GET TO PASS OUT FOR 1
MINUTE)
evan
You?

TREVOR (ON PHONE)

Still trying to survive in here.

evan
Good.

TREVOR (ON PHONE)

Are you in your place right now?

evan
I'm in my house, yeah.

TREVOR (ON PHONE)

Are you with somebody?

evan
I'm with my brother. Why?
 TREVOR (ON PHONE)
Well, i was thinking about -- Well -- Why don't you come
stay with me at my apartment? Since i've heard that your
parents, they're just -- gone.

evan
Ok?

TREVOR (ON PHONE)

I want to give you and Dan some protection.

Evan thinks about this for a second.

evan
Does it -- Does it have to be now?

TREVOR (ON PHONE)

Not exactly. It can be someday. You just call me and
we'll pick you guys up.

evan
Oh. Well, not for now. We're good. Thanks for the offer.

TREVOR (ON PHONE)

Sure. Anytime. Remember, you call me--

evan
--you guys come pick us up.

TREVOR (ON PHONE)

That's right. SO, that would be it. Stay alive, Evan
SKYLANDER.

evan
You too, Trevor.

TREVOR (ON PHONE)

Alright, so i'll see you soon.

evan
You bet. Bye.

TREVOR (ON PHONE)

Bye.
The call ends. Evan thinks about the conversation.

CUT TO:

INT. EVAN'S HOUSE - DAN'S ROOM. SECONDS LATER.

Evan is talking to Dan.

evan
--so he says that we can stay there, since Mom and Dad
are gone.

dan
For how long?

evan
He didn't said. But he said that we could stay there as
long as we want to. Don't you think that's great?

dan
I don't know Evan. I mean, i don't even know your friend
that well.

evan
Well, at least -- Uh --

dan
I like your enthusiasm. But right now, just let me think
about it. And then i'll tell you if we can go or not.

evan
Sure.

CUT TO:

INT. EVAN'S HOUSE - EVAN'S ROOM. NIGHT.

Evan is sleeping comfy on his own bed. Then --

-- a LOUD NOISE, accompanied by an EARTHQUAKE, interrupt his

sleep. sleeping. Then....

INT. DAN'S ROOM.

Dan was having a nightmare. Then, the most shocking thing:

!BLOOD IS COMING OUT OF HIS FOREHEAD, NOSE, EARS, MOUTH, EYES,

EVERYWHERE.

Evan gets in.

evan
Oh shit!

Evan approaches. As Dan keeps bleeding so bad, Evan wakes him

up.

evan
Dan! Dan, wake up!
Dan wakes up, the bleeding stops and so does the earthquake.

dan
Evan...Evan is that you?

evan
Yeah, it's me.

dan
What -- What happened?

evan
I don't know, you had like a nightmare or something.

DAN
My head, it hurts so bad.

evan
Here, let me help you get cleaned up. You need to take a
shower. You can sleep in my bed.

dan
What about you?

evan
I can sleep in the couch.
INT. BATHROOM. MINUTES LATER.

Evan is cleaning the blood off of Dan. Tons, tons and tons of
blood is beginning to come out of Dan's face.
 CUT TO:

.ext. bathroom. later.

Dan is sleeping on Evan's bed. Evan is at the phone, calling

the doctor.

doctor (on phone)

Oh God, how bad?

evan
I dunno doc, it's the fifth time it happens. He's on a
bad state.

doctor (on phone)

Would you like to take him to the hospital?? We'll check
him out.

evan
I guess that'll be the better choice.

doctor (on phone)

Alright, call me back if it happens again.

evan
Will do. Bye.

doctor (on phone)

Goodnight.

The call ends.

CUT TO:

.int. hospital room. the next day. day.

Dan is lying on a hospital bed. Evan is sitting on the chair.

doctor
He's so bad. His sickness got worse. Maybe if we keep him
here to check him out, that'll be the better choice, if you
don't have a problem with that.
 evan
No, no. There's no problem. The only thing is, I don't
know who I am staying with.

A NURSE knocks on the door. The DOCTOR and EVAN look at her.

doctor
Yes?

nurse
The boy. Someone's looking for him. Someone named Trevor.

The NURSE leaves. The DOCTOR looks at Evan, who looks

surprised.

(A LIMITLESS MIND CAN KNOW ABOUT THE ACTIONS OF THE OTHER BY

CLOSING HIS/HER EYES AND TRY TO IMAGINATE THAT OTHER PERSON)
Evan rises from the chair.

evan
I won't take long.

He walks to the door.

CUT TO:

INT. HOSPITAL WAITING ROOM. SECONDS LATER.

Evan walks by the hallway. He arrives at the hospital waiting

room. Where he finds his long-time friend TREVOR (15). Trevor
notices Evan approaching him.

TREVOR
Evan SKYLANDER. I'll be damned and I'll be fucked.

evan
Trevor.

Trevor approaches to Evan and gives him a hug.

TREVOR
Unbelievable.
The hug breaks. They look at each other.

TREVOR
How're you doing?

evan
So far so good, i guess.

TREVOR
Yeah? Hey, listen. Since you've got no one to stay with,
since your brother is hospitalized, you can crash at my place
while they're attending him at the hospital, how about that?
Does that sound good to you?

evan
Yeah, i guess. Let me just ask him.

TREVOR
Sure. I'll just wait here.

Evan walks back to the room.

.int. hospital room. seconds later.

Evan is talking to Dan.

evan
Hey buddy.

dan
Hey.

evan
How are you doing?

dan
I've been worse.

evan
Hey, listen. I'm gonna stay at Trevor's place while
you're being attended at the hospital. Does that sound good to
you?

dan
 Alright. You can stay there. Promise me that you'll call
me.

evan
I promise.

CUT TO:

INT. CAR. LATER.

Evan and Trevor are at the backseat of the car of AN UBER

DRIVER. THE UBER DRIVER drives through the city.

TREVOR
Also, uhh, dunno how to tell you this but, another person
of your age is staying at the apartment with me.

Evan wonders.

evan
Another person?

TREVOR
Yeah, it's -- A girl.

evan
A girl? What, is she like your missing cousin or
something like that?

TREVOR
No, it's just -- Look, it's this girl who i rescued from
the streets. I gave her a home and stuff like that. She's had
a rough past. So i try all the time to give her a better life.

evan
You rescued her from the streets? What, she was like a
prostitute or something?

TREVOR
She used to be. Until i rescued her.

evan
How was it? You just told her "Hey, I've got a place to
stay"?
 TREVOR
More or less. By the way, she might act hostile to you.
She might think you're -- dangerous or something like that.

evan
Dangerous? Why dangerous?

TREVOR
She doesn't trust in people that much.

evan
Why are you telling me this?

TREVOR
So you could know. So that when we arrive to the
apartment you don't start saying shit like "Hey, who's this
girl?" "What is she doing in here?".

evan
Alright.

The car keeps driving through the city. The song

IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING by KING CRIMSON sounds on the
radio.

CUT TO:

INT. CITY. SAME.

The city is SWOLLEN WITH AN ENDLESS TRAFFIC. Cars honking,

pedestrians passing by on the street, people selling their
stuff to the drivers, etc.

.ext. Trevor's apartment block. minutes later.

Evan and Trevor walk outside of the apartment block.

Trevor and Evan enter.

INT. TREVOR'S APARTMENT BLOCK - LOBBY. SAME.

It's a shabby lobby. Looks like if the apartment is about to

collapse very soon or something. Probably the building was
very nice back in the day, but now it's a fucking dumpster.
Evan and Trevor walk together on the lobby. Evan walks to the
elevators. Trevor stops him.

TREVOR
No, no, no, no. Don't take the elevators.

evan
What? Why?

TREVOR
They get stuck when you're going up. They're fucking
broken. Trust me, you don't want to get inside. Last time, i
had to use my mind to fix them so a little kid could stop with
his fucking crying. Let's use the stairs.

Evan and Trevor walk to the emergency stairs. They enter it.
They begin to walk upstairs. A moment of them as they walk
upstairs. They finally arrive into floor 9.

INT. TREVOR'S APARTMENT BLOCK - 9th floor.

They finally arrive at this huge hallway full of doors. They

walk front. They finally arrive to a door on the left.
Trevor's home. Trevor uses the keys to open the door.

INT. TREVOR'S APARTMENT - MAIN ROOM. SAME.

It looks good, nice, and comfy. There's many paintings, and a

big window where you can see the whole country. Evan and
Trevor walk inside.

TREVOR
DO you like it?

evan
It's nice.

TREVOR
Yeah, it might not be much, but it's home, yeah.

A GIRL, 14 YEARS OLD, WITH HER HAIR DYED RED, HER EYES BROWN,
WEARING A SHORT METALLICA SHIRT AND BLUE JEANS, WALKS INTO THE
MAIN ROOM. SHE IS CHLOE.
Trevor manages to notice CHLOE. Evan notices her too.
 CHLOE
Who is this?

TREVOR
Ah. CHLOE, this is Evan, the boy I talked to you about.

evan
Wait, you talked to her about me?

TREVOR
Yeah, of course. Alright, CHLOE, Evan, Evan, CHLOE.
CHLOE doesn't know how to do a less uncomfortable hello, so
she approaches and shakes Evan's hand, she does it weirdly.
Evan looks like "WHAT IS HAPPENING". She slowly lunges at him.

CHLOE
(whispering to evan)
Are you being chased?? Is there somebody coming with
you??

evan
...No...

CHLOE
Good.

She walks to her room. Evan is left there, frozen.

TREVOR
I told you she has a rough time trusting in people.

evan
Yeah, you can tell.

TREVOR
Here. I'll guide you to your room.

CUT TO:

INT. TREVOR'S APARTMENT - guest ROOM. night.

EVAN is checking on his phone at night. Everyone else in the

apartment is sleeping on their rooms. All except for Chloe.

.ext. Trevor's apartment block - PARKING LOT. minutes later.

Chloe is with a knife, she puts it on her pocket. Then she
approaches to a mannequin. She is pretending to walk nice,
then_ She looks at the mannequin.

chloe
What was that? Huh? What did you just called me?

Silence.

CHLOE
Did you just insulted me? Huh? Nothing, huh?? Did you
just called me a "bitch"?? Well guess what buddy, the guy who
abuses women is a faggot, knew that?? Oww, you didn't?? Eh??
Faggot??
(silence)
Ok, now, I'm going to give you one chance, you can
apologize and I'll let you go. Or else.
((SILENCE))
What am I going to do? Well, this.

Chloe makes the knife to levitate around the mannequin.

CHLOE
How about that? Impressed? No?

Then, by using her mental powers, she makes the mannequin

loose it's head. She rips it off. As she rips off the arms and
legs. Then, she turns to see Evan looking at her, wondering.

Chloe
What are you looking at??

evan
Nothing. What are you doing?

CHLOE
Nothing. I think i should ask the same thing to you. What
are you doing?

evan
Same as you?

CHLOE
Really?
 evan
Yeah, doing nothing.

He approaches. She slowly backs off.

evan
What are you doing?

CHLOE
I should ask the same to you.

evan
I'm not doing anything.

CHLOE
Yes you are. You're walking to me. You're about to do
something to me.

evan
I'm not gonna do anything to you.

CHLOE
Then why the fuck are you approaching to me?

evan
You have the same powers as me.

Chloe wonders.

CHLOE
What?

evan
Yeah, look.

Evan, by using his powers, makes the same knife Chloe once
held to levitate. Chloe looks at it, amazed.

evan
I'm just like you.

CHLOE
How?
 evan
I don't know. I wish i had the answer to it, but right
now, i don't know. Do you come here all the time?

CHLOE
Only on sleepwalking occasions. DO you sleepwalk
sometimes?

evan
No, it's just -- I find it hard to sleep sometimes.

CHLOE
Why?

evan
I don't know. Sometimes i have this weird dreams i don't
know how to explain.

CHLOE
Explain one to me.

evan
I don't know. I'm in this hallway, on a bed, and i'm
moving front and i'm looking at the lights above me passing
by---

TREVOR
EVAN! EVAN!

Evan and Chloe turn to TREVOR, running to Evan. He finally

arrives.

evan
Trevor, what's up man?

TREVOR
It's the news! It's about the hospital! Something
happened! Come on!

CUT TO:

INT. TREVOR'S APARTMENT - MAIN ROOM. minutes later.

Evan, alongside Chloe and Trevor, are watching various

reportings of --
!-- A MASSIVE, DEADLY, VIOLENT SHOOTOUT ON THE SAME HOSPITAL
DAN WAS ADMITTED AT. THERE'S VARIOUS DOCTORS, PATIENTS AND
NURSES COVERED IN WHITE SHEETS, LYING ON THE GROUND, DEAD. ON
THE NEXT SHOT, WE SEE DAN, WITH A BULLET ON HIS HEAD, STARTING
TO BEING COVERED BY A WHITE SHEET.

Evan watches this. He begins to be devastated. He walks off.

TREVOR
Evan?

Silence. Evan just walks somewhere.

TREVOR
Are you okay?
INT. TREVOR'S APARTMENT - BATHROOM. SAME.

Evan arrives at the bathroom -- and he begins to cry. A moment

of him crying on the bathroom.

.later:

Evan is washing his face. He dries it. He SIGHS. Then, his

phone buzzes. His friend, KYLE (18), son of a policeman, calls
him. Evan picks it up.

evan
Kyle.

KYLE (ON PHONE)

Hey, man. How are you doing?

evan
(sniff)
I'm good. I'm doing good.

KYLE (ON PHONE)

I've heard of what happened, man. I'm so sorry.

evan
Thank you. I'm sorry too.

KYLE (ON PHONE)

 DO you need help right now? DO you need someone you can
talk to?

evan
No, i'm good. I'm good right now.

KYLE (ON PHONE)

You sure?

evan
Yeah, i'm sure.

KYLE (ON PHONE)

Alright. Listen, my Dad has been checking the security
cameras.

evan
Oh yeah? What did you found?

KYLE (ON PHONE)

He said that it was not a person, it was various people
who caused the shootout.

Evan looks interested in this.

evan
Who did it?

KYLE (ON PHONE)

They still don't know it yet. They sad they were wearing
masks to not be identified. It still confirmed to be unknown.

evan
Oh, alright.

KYLE (ON PHONE)

Just take it easy, alright? I swear that my Dad will
catch them, whoever they were, alright? I promise you that.

evan
Thank you Kyle. Thank you so much.

KYLE (ON PHONE)

No problem, bud. And remember, if you need somebody to
talk to, you have me and Connor, remember that.
 evan
Yeah, I'll remember it.

KYLE (ON PHONE)

Take care, alright?

evan
You too Kyle.

KYLE (ON PHONE)

Alright, bye.

evan
Bye.

The call ends. Evan sighs. He looks at himself in the mirror.

The door knocks.

evan
Come in.

Trevor opens the door.

TREVOR
Hey, man.

Evan turns to him.

evan
Hey.

TREVOR
Are you alright?

evan
Yeah.

He takes a moment. He begins to cry.

evan
No.

He hugs Trevor. Trevor embraces Evan as he (Evan) begins to

cry.
 SLOW FADE TO BLACK.:

INT. TREVOR'S APARTMENT - guest ROOM. THE DAY LATER. DAY.

Evan is lying on the bed, he's all thoughtful. The door

knocks.

evan
Yeah?

Chloe slowly opens the door. She slowly enters into the room.

CHLOE
Hey. You're ok?

evan
Yeah, i'm fine.

CHLOE
Listen, we just got some Wendy's burgers, in case if you
want to join us and eat.

evan
Yeah, that'll be -- that'll be fine, i guess.

Chloe notices Evan's sadness. Her smile fades off.

CHLOE
We're going to eat the burgers at the dining room, just
in case if you want to join us and eat with us.

evan
I'm not so hungry right now. But thank you for the offer.

Chloe begins to understand Evan's pain, sadness and grief at

this moment. She understands that by leaving Evan alone, he'll
be better. She sighs. And she walks off.

Evan then turns on his phone and sees Dan's chat. There's
three messages written by Evan to Dan, saying:

"I'm having a good time in here."

 "You don't have to worry about it."
"Hope you heal soon"

Evan sighs, saddened. He turns his phone off. Puts it on his

chest and looks up. Then, his phone buzzes. He sees a new
message being sent to him,
_and by Dan_.
"We know where you are, Evan, We've seen you and it's
easy to find you".

Evan wonders. He replies.

"Who is this?"

He replies again.

"Whoever is doing this, I'm calling the police"

Another answer from Dan.

"It's too late. We are already at the main door...."

Beat.

Another reply from Dan.

"Knock Knock Evan, time to open the door"

INT. TREVOR'S APARTMENT - MAIN ROOM. SAME.

The door knocks three times. Trevor walks to the main door. He
stands in front of it.

TREVOR
Who is it?

FRANCO (behind the door)

Good afternoon gentleman.

TREVOR
Who is it?

FRANCO (behind the door)

I have understood that you have a cable problem on your
T.V, isn't that right??
 TREVOR
No i don't. My TV has no cable problems. Who is it?

FRANCO (behind the door)

Messenger service, sir

TREVOR
So first you appear as the Mr. Cable Guy, and then you
appear as the Messenger Service Guy? Seriously, who is it?

FRANCO (behind the door)

Just open the door, please. I don't want any trouble.

TREVOR
I don't want 'em either, so why don't you just Cut the
shit, and get out of here before I call the cops.

Then, VARIOUS BANGING ON THE DOOR are emitted.

TREVOR
Hey! I said stop! Now listen here, I don't know what you
want, but I'm not going to be dealing with you anymore,
alright?

Chloe approaches.

chloe
What's going on? Is everything okay?

FRANCO (behind the door)

Yeah. What's going on? Is everything okay?

TREVOR
Fuck you.
Evan approaches.

evan
What happened?

TREVOR
Forget about him, he must be some kind of prankster or
something--
Then, BANG!!! A SHOT from the main door to Trevor. He is
thrown on the ground.
 Evan
Jesus!
From the hole of the door, we see that Franco shot Trevor in
the back.

As Franco was about to shoot at Evan, Chloe uses her mental

powers to KNOCK HIS HEAD ON THE WALL. Chloe checks on Trevor.
She's beginning to heal him.

Then DING DING!!! Another notification on Evan's phone. We see

it:

"We're going to catch you, better run and hide for your
life"
INT. Hallway.

We see tons of guards walking in the hall, like a Matrix shot.

The guards don't look like average FBI Style dressed guys,
they are wearing job suits. As the guards were getting in, in
between the hole, they see nothing. The boys were not there.
They break the door to check it out, but then, KITCHEN KNIFES
STAB THEM RIGHT ON THEIR FACES, ONE BY ONE. EVAN DID IT. He
and Chloe and Trevor escape on the hallway. Trevor's apartment
is full of dead guards.

.ext. Trevor's apartment block. minutes later.

The boys run away as the camera turns to see Chloe, with some
5 dead bodies of guards with her. She just handled some right
after the guards got into the Apartment.

chloe
We have to get out of here. More will come.

TREVOR
Good idea, we need to go.

evan
But where? We have nowhere or how to go.

Chloe then has an idea.

CHLOE
I have an idea.
 TREVOR
What?

CHLOE
Come on, follow me.
They run out of the place.

CUT TO:

INT. APARTMENT HALL.

Franco, recuperating from his KNOCK on the head, grabs a

walkie talkie.

FRANCO
This is Franco. The subjects are heading to the entrance.
I require backups.

walkie talkie
On our way, sir.

Beep.

The kids were running.

GUARDS

The kids turn to see a truck full of guards chasing them.

TREVOR
Holy shit! Run!!!! Go, go, go!!!!
They are on a chase.

Chloe, by using her mental powers, manages to crash the truck

that's chasing them. Another truck approaches to them. They
keep running.

CUT TO:

INT. ADAM'S CAR - SAME.

Adam (32) is a former soldier, now working as an UBER DRIVER.
He has a Vietnam collar with his name on it. He is finishing

Yes, right here.

The car arrives.

adam
That'll be 5 dollars.

The CLIENT gives him the 5 dollars.

adam
Thank you, take care.

You too sir.

The client gets off the car. Adam checks the dollars.

radio
...uncompromising. In other news, he just heard that many
people had been hurt, some of them killed. We're going
straight to the scene where...

Then, THE THREE YOUNGSTERS get inside Adam's car. Adam turns,
surprised.

adam
...hey, Hey, HEY, HEY!!!...

The Three Youngsters close the door.

adam
What the hell do you think you're doing in here?!

evan
We need a ride, right now.

adam
 Why?

CHLOE
It's urgent, we don't have much time.

TREVOR
Please, we need to go right now.

Adam doesn't look convinced.

Adam
Get off my car, right now! OK? I'm not going to be so
convinced and comfortable if this is a joke, so--

The GUARDS outside the car notice them.

GUARD
There they are! Catch them!

Adam notices the guards.

adam
Who the fuck are those guys? The FBI? The SWAT? You guys
did something wrong, did you?

CHLOE
JUST. FUCKING. DRIVE. RIGHT. FUCKING. NOW!!!

Adam looks at The Three Youngsters.

adam
Fine, fuck it.

Adam starts the car.

adam
You have luck on landing here.

The car begins to drive. It drives off.

The car advances so fast it goes directly to the street. The

car drives fast, the truck is still chasing them.

ADAM
 Ok, so now we are on a car chase?? Unbelievable, what's
next?? Bad guys shooting at us??

!THE GUARDS SHOOT AT THE CAR WHILE DRIVING.

ADAM
WHY THE FUCK DO I HAVE TO BE RIGHT ON THIS SITUATIONS THE
WHOLE TIME?!

The chase was still going on.

As the truck is going fast, it crashes against the back part

of Adam's car. Adam tries to drive fast, but he can’t, as the
truck was still behind them. Evan uses his mental powers to
MAKE THE TRUCK TO STOP, KILLING ALL THE GUARDS INSIDE. THE
TRUCK THEN AUTOMATICALLY DRIVES INTO A GAS STATION WHERE IT
EXPLODES. EVAN OR TREVOR DIDN'T DO IT, CHLOE DID.

Adam noticed what they've done. He realizes and laughs of

excitement.

adam
What the fuck? Holy shit! WOW!!! How did you do_??

CHLOE threatens him with the knife. The boys try to stop her.

CHLOE
Ok, if you tell the cops, we're going to slash your
fucking throat while you're sleeping.

adam
Stop, please.

evan
Ok, CHLOE, stop, he's good, RIGHT?

Adam is in silence.

EVAN, TREVOR AND CHLOE:

Right?!

adam
YES, I'M GOOD!!! You can trust in me!!!

CHLOE hides the KNIFE on her pocket.

 CHLOE
Ok. Sorry. Now, where are we going??

evan
I don't know. A hotel, maybe?

adam
WE CAN HIDE IN MY VACATION HOUSE.

EVAN, TREVOR AND CHLOE:

What?

adam
I HAVE a vacation house located in the woods, close to
the beach. We can get there and the bad guys can't find us.

evan
Is it far?

adam
It'll take -- Like 4 or 3 days to arrive.

TREVOR
Ok, we'll trust you, take us there safe and sound, and
please protect us, we need a guardian.

adam
No problem. I can be an excellent guardian.

CHLOE
See guys? Told you it's going to work.

The boys think that she was right the whole time.

Evan puts his earbuds on and plays a song on his phone to

activate some mood on the scene. He rests his head on the
window.

CUT TO:

INT. APARTMENT HALL. SAME.

Franco sees the dead bodies of the guards. He sighs in
disappointment.

Adam stutters.

CHLOE
Yes, these three were doing a father-sons trip. And
(taps on evan’s back)
my boyfriend here decided to invite me to this trip. We’re

She turns to Adam's face. He looks at her.

adam
Yeah, that's right. We're making a trip to the beach.

motel receptionist
I didn't know you had kids.

adam
I just seem to never tell anyone I have them. Are there
any rooms available??

CUT TO:

INT. ROOM 045. later.

Chloe and Trevor are sleeping in one bed. Evan is watching the
TV with low volume. Evan is watching Leon The Professional in
the other room. He is watching the part where Leon was walking
to the entrance, as Gary Oldman was behind him. He shoots him.
Evan is watching the film, with a huge focus. Adam enters the
room. He notices what Evan's watching.
 adam
Are you watching "LEON THE PROFESSIONAL"??

evan
Is that how the movie is called?

adam
Yeah.

We watch a twelve year old Natalie Portman, leaving the

building, running in the streets.

adam
I remember watching this film with my mom in 1995. We had
such an amazing time.

Evan and Adam are beginning to be watching the part where Jean
Reno was handing to Gary Matilda's gift. He watches it, a tiny
bomb. Adam mouths what Jean Reno is about to say.

adam/jean reno
From...Matilda...

Gary takes off Jean's jacket, only to reveal bombs tied to

him.

GARY OLDMAN (On TV)

Shit.....

ADAM
((Whispering))
Boom.....

In the TV, the building's lobby explodes, generating a huge

explosion that scares and startles the people outside.

Getting some gas.

The car finally arrives at the gas station.

He finds it. He parks his car.

We see the gas station, with a little store and a restaurant

on the side.

ADAM
Ok, there's a little store on there. You can go inside
and buy some stuff while I put gas on my car. I swear I'll
wait right here.

He hands them some money to them.

Here's some money.

Evan takes it. He, Trevor and Chloe exit the car.

Hi, I'd like to buy this.

He shows some Red Original Skittles to the cashier.

CASHIER #2
That'll be cheap.

evan
Ok, so...I'll also take some stuffs, wait up.
((Turns to see a floating toy, being levitated by
TREVOR))
Oh my god, what is that?

The cashier turns to the toy and begins to be in a shock. She

faints. Evan and Trevor look at her.
 TREVOR
Did we killed her?

evan
If we killed her, she would have touched her heart,
meaning she had a heart attack. We didn't kill her. Not yet.

CUT TO:

CHLOE is still sitting on the bench. One of the guards,

without his suit, wearing normal clothes, approaches her.

UNKNOWN GUARD
Hey there, are you lost??

CHLOE looks at him, shocked.

UNKNOWN GUARD
Are your parents around here?? Want me to call someone
for you??
CHLOE gets up and runs to the car. The guard was chasing

her.

UNKNOWN GUARD
Wait!!! I want to help!!!

CHLOE
DAD!!! DAD!!!
She begins to cry, as she calls Adam DAD, she approaches to
him. She lands on his arms, pretending.

ADAM
Wow, hey, what happened??

The guard comes in. He stops. Adam looks at him.

adam
Who the hell are you?

The guard stutters. Adam realizes.

ADAM
 What the hell were you thinking??
The guard is out of words.

CHLOE
I should have listened to you, DAD, you always keep
saying that staying away from you is a bad idea and I never
hear. I'm such an idiot.
Adam was confused, as CHLOE mouthed FOLLOW THE PLAN.

Adam realizes.

ADAM
Uh, yeah, I'm sorry, I'm also an idiot for not watching

To the guard:

adam
Thanks, you can leave now, please.

UNKNOWN GUARD
But, i_

adam
Either you leave here, leave my daughter alone, or i'll

The guard decides to run away. Chloe stops crying.

CHLOE
What an asshole.
She gets off his arms, and gets inside the car. she dries the
tears of her eyes. Adam is confused, as the gasoline from the
car was full. Evan and Trevor approach to the car with some
snacks.

ADAM
Everything good??

TREVOR
Well, Skittles, some drinks, and....a toy. I think we're
ok.
They all get inside the car.

CHLOE looks at Evan's phone.

evan
Uhhhh, watch videos, play some music, you know, all those
stuff from a kid like me.
The car advances.

The unknown guard is backing off.

THE UNKNOWN GUARD takes a walkie talkie out of his pocket.

UNKNOWN GUARD
We got them.

CUT TO:

INT. ADAM'S CAR - later.

Chloe is sleeping, with her head resting on the window. So is

Evan as he is listening to some music on his phone while he is
asleep, while Trevor is looking at the window, awake. Adam is
still driving.

Trevor looks at Chloe.

TREVOR
I am her guardian.

Adam listens to the conversation.

adam
You're that girl's guardian?

TREVOR
Yeah. It was back at the time when her family got killed.
 adam
How?

TREVOR
Some men entered her house, they shot everyone inside and
they took her. A few years later, she escaped. She ended up
wandering on the streets. And that's how i found her.

Adam thinks for a moment.

adam
Escaped from where?

TREVOR
There's a lab. They kidnap kids and put them in there.
Those guys make those kids believe that the lab is like home.
But it's not home. It's a fucking hell hole in there.

adam
So, there, in the lab, is that where you guys got your
powers?

TREVOR
Yeah. For those guys, we were nothing. Nothing more than
just lab rats.

Adam thinks for a moment.

adam
I used to be the guardian of someone. Not exactly a
guardian. I used to be a Dad. A Dad of someone. A little boy.
My son.

Trevor listens to this.

TREVOR
You used to? What happened to him?

adam
He's dead. He got killed.

TREVOR
By who?

adam
 I don't know. It was on his birthday. His name was Tomas.
We were at a park, located in a forest. We celebrated with the
whole family. Uncles, grandparents, friends and relatives,
everybody showed up because everybody loved him. Then, he just
disappeared. He must have walked off or something like that. I
don't know where he went. We spent the rest of the day looking
for him. Then, the police came, and all they said was that
they didn't find him. I was in despair. The mother wasn't
there with me because she died by giving birth to Tomas. Days
later, I -- I got this inform that some kids found him in a
house -- And i rushed in there -- And then i saw -- I saw --

Adam begins to cry. His voice breaks. His tears are streaming
out of his eyes.

Trevor uses his mental powers to clean Adam's tears. Adam's

tears are being cleaned by themselves as if it was an act of
magic or something.

adam
Thank you. Anyway, life goes on.

Trevor understands what Adam is saying.

TREVOR
Yeah. Life goes on. But everything is not the same,
right? Everything changes.

adam
Everything always changes.

We stay on Adam.

CUT TO:

The next thing we hear is two men chatting outside.

MAN #1:
Is this my driver??

MAN #2:
Yes he is, man.

Very trusted. He's one of my best guys here in the
business.

MAN #1:
Ok. Whatever you say.

!INSERT:

INT. ADAM's CAR. NIGHT. FLASHBACK.

ADAM is waking up. He was asleep. As he wakes up, he puts his

hands on his eyes.

MAN #2: (O.S)

Ok, have fun.

MAN #1:
I hope so.

ADAM:
(Softly)
Holy shit.

As he is totally awoken, camera turns to see MAN #1, getting

in the car.

MAN #1:
Ok, are you ADAM??

ADAM:
I'm sorry, who are you??

MAN #1:
(Laughs)
Don't you remember?? A few minutes ago you were supposed
to drive me home.

ADAM:
(Trying to remember)
Are you that junkie that called me a few hours ago??
 MAN #1:
Yes, it's me.

ADAM:
Ok.

ADAM looks really tired and a bit fucked up to drive. But, he

wants to drive.

ADAM:
Ok, where to??

MAN #1:
Remember the Columbus avenue??

ADAM:
I know the streets.

MAN #1:
All right, take me there.

ADAM:
First, give me the cash.

MAN #1:
I'm sorry??

ADAM:
Yeah buddy, those are the rules. You don't give me the
cash, no trip home.

MAN #1:
All right, how much is it??

ADAM:
A hundred bucks.

MAN #1 takes outta his pocket a hundred bucks. He hands it to

ADAM. ADAM puts the bucks on his pocket.

As ADAM turns on the car, he is putting earphones. As the car

was advancing, the noise was fading away. ADAM is looking
melancholic.
 MAN #1:
The streets are beautiful at nights, don't you think??

No answer from the alcoholic driver.

ADAM turns the radio on.

MAN #1 is impressed.

MAN #1:
Huh.

Camera focuses on ADAM's night stare. Focussed.

Camera turns to see ANOTHER BACKSEAT GUEST.

BACKSEAT GUEST #1:

Economy, because that's what's happening, right??
.LATER:

BACKSEAT GUEST #2:

Tell you what. I think I'm not destined to be a father. I
just don't have that much responsibility_

The same the costumer is pointing at.

ADAM:
Yes.

COSTUMER:
You see it?? The one with the red dress.

ADAM:
Yes, I see her.

COSTUMER:
Ok, that's my sister. All right?? And I hate her so much
because she fucks with my business.

ADAM:
That sucks.

COSTUMER:
She never stops talking how shitty I am, and how I
defrauded my family.

ADAM:
Mhmm.

COSTUMER:
Just, don't tell anyone, but I wanna kill her.

ADAM:
I'm not saying anything.

COSTUMER:

CUT BACK TO:

INT. ADAM'S CAR - PRESENT DAY.

Adam keeps driving.

CUT TO:

A sleeping Evan wakes up. He looks on the window. He sees a

beach city. It’s getting night, but the day is

still clear. He looks at ADAM.

 EVAN
Is this where we are spending the night?

adam
Probably. We're gonna stay on an hotel, I'm gonna reserve
a room, then we're gonna have to buy stuff.

TREVOR
Stuff?

adam
You know, food, clothes. I think you guys should probably
get a shower.

TREVOR
But we don't stink.

adam
Yeah, right.
INT. STREET. LATER.

Adam and The Three Youngsters exit the car. They walk to the

INT. hotel HALLWAY.

Adam and The Three Youngsters exit the door.

ADAM
So the door was....624.
They walk left. As they approach, they get in front of the

Alright, let's see.
He grabs the room keys and opens the door.

INT. ROOM 624. SAME.

Adam and The Three Youngsters enter the room. EVAN and Trevor
and Chloe look around.

ADAM
Alright, so the room with the king-sized bed will be

Chloe and Trevor and Evan.

adam
Now just walk and don’t attract attention, ok???

Silence. No answer.

adam
Okay?

evan
Yeah.
 CHLOE
Okay.

TREVOR
We get it. Don't attract attention.
As he turns to see Evan, he realizes he’s not there. Alarmed,
he looks around. Then, he sees Evan walking to a clothes shop
store. Chloe and Trevor and Adam walk to him.

EXT. CLOTHES STORE. SAME.

Evan sees a mannequin with his size wearing a big colorful

beautiful Sweater. Evan think that it’ll fit to him.

He sees another mannequin. Probably a mannequin with Adam's

size holding his hand, wearing unrecognizable clothes. Evan
puts his hand on the glass. Adam and The Two Youngsters
approach to him.

ADAM
There you are!!
Evan separates his hand from the glass as soon as he heard
ADAM.

adam
What are you doing?

evan
Clothes.

adam
What?

evan
If we want to camouflage or to be unrecognizable or not
to attract attention, we need new clothes.

CHLOE
Yeah, that's right. We need new clothes.
ADAM looks at the two mannequins. He probably thinks that the
two white heads represent them. He thinks.

CUT TO:
.int. CLOTHES STORE. LATER.

Adam is paying the new clothes with the big quantity of money
he has. The cashier is stunned.

CASHIER #3
That's a lot of money.

Adam chuckles.

He gives the money to the cashier.

EVAN, TREVOR AND CHLOE:

Alright.
They walk off.

CUT TO:

.int. hotel room - balcony. later.

Evan is there. Looking at the night beach, melancholic.
Thoughtful. CHLOE spots him. He opens the window as he
approaches to him.

CHLOE
Hi.

evan
(turns to her)
Hey.

CHLOE
What are you doing in here?

evan
I just thought it would be cool for me to just breathe
some air, i guess. And you? What are you doing in here?

CHLOE
Same as you.

evan
You decided to have some air too?

CHLOE
Yeah, i just want to release myself from everything.

evan
Hmm. Pretty much everyone wants to clean themselves from
everything.

CHLOE
And how would they do it?

evan
I -- I don't know. I'm not so sure of how they're gonna
do it.

Evan then notices that she has a tattoo on the back of her
neck.

EVAN
What is that??

As Evan was about to touch it, She stops him.

 EVAN
Sorry, it looks like a number I suppose.

It is, a tattoo of a number: 25.

CHLOE
Yes, it's my code number. I had to live with it the rest
of my life. Looks like I'm the experiment number 25. Do you
got a code number???

Evan turns so Chloe could check it out. He doesn't have a code

number.

CHLOE
No, it appears you don't have a code number.

She backs off. Both look front.

evan
Can i tell you something?

CHLOE
Sure. What?

evan
You know, being a runaway boy doesn’t seem too bad as it
looks like.

CHLOE
Hey, we're a team now. Alright? From now on, we're gonna
depend on each other. We're gonna trust in each other, and
we're not gonna tell each other lies, alright?

Alright.

Oh shit.

Adam begins to be more alarmed now.

They found the car.

EVAN, TREVOR AND CHLOE

What?!

adam
I think they're downstairs.

CHLOE
You said we would be safe here.

Of course. I will go downstairs. Count with me. Ok bye.
He hangs up.

adam
FUCK. ME. !!!

CHLOE
What happens now?

adam
I don't know.

evan
Well, what happens if we stay in here? Would that work?

adam
No, they're gonna keep asking for us, and as soon as we
keep not answering the call, they're gonna fucking send
somebody to come for us.

TREVOR
Well, what do we do now?

Adam has an idea.

adam
We have to go.

evan
What?

CHLOE
Well, what if we get caught? What if you get caught?

adam
We will not get caught. I promise you that.

INT. hotel LOBBY. LATER.

Adam and The Three youngsters approach the lobby, full of
people talking to the cops and full of GUARDS. EVAN wears
sunglasses and has his hoodie on. He’s wearing the Sweater
from the store. And ADAM the clothes he bought. Chloe and
Trevor are wearing the clothes that Adam bought for them.

ADAM
Ok. Let’s walk front.

They walk front, trying to not attract attention.

receptionist
Excuse me sir?

The Group freezes.

adam
Yeah?

receptionist
Checking out?

adam
Yes.

receptionist
Could you please sign these papers?

ADAM approaches to the desk. He starts signing the papers. A

GUARD notices Evan. The cop approaches him.

GUARD #2
Hey there buddy. Are your parents here??? Can you tell me
your name---

The GUARD realizes.

GUARD #2
Oh shit.

As the GUARD was about to talk on his walkie-talkie, ADAM

POINTS A GUN TO THE GUARD.

ADAM
 I wouldn’t do that if i was you.

ADULT
Gun!!! He has a gun!!!

Everybody gets alarmed.

adam
Let go of the walkie, please.

The GUARD obeys.

Another GUARD notices.

GUARD #3
Hey!

As ADAM turns to the second GUARD, he accidentally pulls the

trigger, making the bullet fly to the Cop’s head. The cop
falls to the ground. Dead. The group is shocked.

CHLOE
What the FUCK?!?

COP

Freeze!

ADAM covers The youngsters. ADAM shoots the second Cop on the
leg. He falls hurt.

ADULT
Somebody call an ambulance!!!

ADAM points the gun at everyone.

adam
Shut up!!! Sshh!!! Shut the fuck up all of you!!!

The group walks slowly to the entrance.

ADAM
If some of you call the cops, I swear the next dumb
motherfucker who dares calling the fucking cops, gets a fiery
smoking burger, understood????
Silence.

ADAM exits the lobby with The Trio.

CUT TO:

INT. hotel PARKING LOT. SAME.

The group runs to the parking lot.

evan
You had a gun with you this whole fucking time?!

adam
When you're an Uber Driver you can get robbed sometimes.
One has to think.

CHLOE
God damn it Adam!

TREVOR
You shot them both.

adam
I had to. Just keep running.
They notice more cops entering. They run and hide on the backs
of the cars. ADAM sees the cops running to the hotel.

adam
Ok, go, go.
They run, hiding, to Adam's car.

INT. adam's car. SAME.

The group enters. Evan, Chloe and Trevor are on the backseat.
ADAM enters on the driver’s seat. He buckles up as he starts
driving.

adam
Alright, the three of you, get down.
ADAM starts driving slowly to the exit. Then, on his back, the
GUARDS notice it’s them.
 GUARD #4
It’s them!!!! There they are!!!
GUARD #4 and other cops point guns at the car. ADAM looks
back.

adam
Buckle up!

They obey. The trio buckles up. Then, ADAM drives front. The
cops start shooting at the glass. EVAN gets up and looks at
the window. Then, a cop car on ADAM’s side shows a cop on a
window.

adam
Get down!
And the cop shoots at the window, to ADAM’s left arm.

adam
Aah!

He grunts in pain.

CHLOE
Shit, you're okay?

adam
I'm fine!
ADAM shoots at the cops in the cop car. The car stops as it
crashes on a store.

The car drives from the apartment to the street. Many cop cars
and the LAB TRUCKS start chasing them. Including a helicopter.

The Car drives faster. It’s being chased by the cops. Hot
Pursuit. ADAM drives alarmed.

ADAM
Shit shit shit. Oh shit.
On the backseat, Chloe sees one cop car in front shooting at
them. He prepares his hand.

Chloe
Abracadabra.
She makes a SNAP....
....and the cop car that was before him crashes and flies off,
crashing on the ground.

ADAM sees ON FRONT. dozens of cop cars blocking their way on

front.

ADAM
Hold on!!!

EVAN
Alright!!!!
Then, ADAM violently and strongly turns the maneuver....

....and the car turns to another street.

Then, the same cop cars that were chasing them drive faster to
the blockers.

blocker cop
Hey! Stop! Hey--!
Too late. The cop cars who were chasing crash on the blockers
so strongly.

EVAN laughs.

EVAN
Holy shit that was awesome!!!
The Car turns to another street. An empty one.

ADAM
Are they chasing us???
Nothing. No cop cars or helicopters. Nothing.

Chloe sees the back window. There’s nobody chasing them.

adam
Are they still behind us?

CHLOE
No, I think we lost them.

adam
We lost them? Are you sure?

CHLOE
 Yeah. There’s nobody chasing us.

ON FRONT. We see other cop cars, SWAT trucks, and the same
helicopter, blocking their way out. ADAM notices.

adam
God damn it..
ON BACK other cop cars chasing them. There’s no other way out
for them.

ADAM closes his eyes. Evan looks front and as he closes his
eyes too....

....all the cop cars, and the SWAT trucks, from back and
front, fly off like projectiles got out from a Star Wars
movie. They fly off everywhere in amazing slow motion.

IN SLOW MOTION.

ADAM opens his eyes as he sees the cop cars flying.

IN SLOW MOTION.

The Car drives through the flying vehicles.

Then, ON NORMAL MOTION, all the vehicles crash everywhere.

EVAN watches the helicopter, and as he closes his eyes, the

helicopter suffers a malfunction. It spins with smoke coming
out of it.

And the car is out of the city.

ADAM looks back and laughs.

ADAM
Woohoo!!!! That was amazing. You were amazing at blowing
those fuckers up!!!

The trio cheer.

evan
Me? Me?! You were amazing at driving!

adam
 No, you were amazing.

evan
No, you were amazing.

CHLOE
Alright, you both were amazing.

Everyone laughs.

EVAN, TREVOR AND CHLOE

Ok.

They get down the car.

INT. MALL. SAME.

The group walks on the mall that's full of people. Chloe looks
around, this is the first time she's ever been in a mall. She
is amazed, stunned, entranced, fascinated, all of those
feelings at the same time.

CHLOE
 So this is a mall, right?

evan
You've never been into a mall before?

CHLOE
Evan, i just spent the majority of my life inside of a
fucking lab. Of course i haven't been inside of a mall.

Trevor notices Adam is wearing the sunglasses he wore when he

escaped from the police and from the lab.

TREVOR
Why are you still wearing sunglasses? There's no cops in
here.

adam
So i don’t attract attention. We’re just a happy family,
walking on a mall, sticking together.

TREVOR
Alright.

CUT TO:

INT. MALL - FOOD COURT. later.

The group is having their foods. They're all eating Burger

King burgers. Chloe, most of all, is tasting her burger. She
has never ate a burger before in her entire life. That's
because she spent half of her life locked inside of a
laboratory, being controlled by grown ups.

adam
(to chloe)
How's your burger?

CHLOE
It's fine. It's just It's so -- Oh. Mmm. It's go good.
It's to tasty.

Adam smiles.

The group approach to an ATM machine. Adam puts his credit

card inside.

Next to them, Evan notices a guy punching to the ATM.

GUY
God damn it.
EVAN approaches to him.

EVAN
What happened???

GUY
This stupid machine swallowed my card and my money.

evan
That's okay. I got this.

He touches the wall the machine, and on the spot where the
money comes from, the credit card and some dollars exit the
ATM. The guy is shocked.

evan
You're welcome.
EVAN walks to ADAM, who already has money on his wallet. ADAM
notices and before he walks out:

ADAM
((to guy))
Yeah, he’s a magician. MAGIC, you know.

ADAM walks off with Evan. The guy is still shocked and most of
all, he's stunned. ON THE GROUP. They walk together.

adam
You know something? I think i might be jealous of your
abilities.

evan
(scoffs)
Yeah, you wish.
 CUT TO:

EXT. MALL. LATER.

We see the group walking to the car. Then, we see a man,

secretly seeing how the car, with them inside, leaves.

CUT TO:

INT. THE ROAD - NIGHT.

We see the cars driving front as we slowly turn to a giant

billboard standing on the ground, and see the car in the back
of it, hiding.

INT. ADAM'S CAR. SAME.

.ON BACKSEAT.

Evan is sleeping alongside with Chloe and Trevor, lying on the

seats.

.ON FRONT SEAT.

ADAM is sleeping too, snoring.

SMASH TO:

.ADAM’S DREAM.

INT. ADAM’S CAR. DAYS EARLIER. NIGHT. FLASHBACK.

A young costumer is on the backseat. ADAM is driving through

the streets. ADAM, a bit asleep, brings the conciousness back.

YOUNG COSTUMER
--do you understand what i’m saying??? ADAM.

ADAM realizes.

ADAM
 I’m sorry. You were...

YOUNG COSTUMER
Explaining something, to you.

adam
Sorry, i wasn't listening.

YOUNG COSTUMER
It’s fine. Can i start again???

adam
Sure.

YOUNG COSTUMER
I was just saying how i complain about my future. When i
was a kid, i always wanted to be a fireman. Now, look at me,
i’m an unsuccessful clerk working in a shit store.

adam
Man, who would have thunk of it?

YOUNG COSTUMER
Right? What did you wanted to be when you were a kid???
You wanted to be a driver???

adam
Not really. I wanted to be a cop. I tried to get in. I
even started acting like one. But i couldn’t get in. They told
me i wasn’t good enough. Then, i got into the U.S Army. And i
became a soldier. Later, i quit it because of my son. I needed
to be there for him, since his mother died. So, i became the
father i never thought i would be. Then --
((silence))
Then, i got this job. It’s to earn money. It’s better
than prostitution really. You get to know the costumers
better. You understand what they say. And after you earn their
trust, you earn money.

YOUNG COSTUMER
I see. DO you hate this job?

adam
 No, i actually got used to it. I got used to stay up all
nights and just feel like a soul trapped in this streets, in
this city.

YOUNG COSTUMER
Don’t worry. We are all trapped souls in this city in
hope to be released. You know why they do this to us??? This
jobs?? Maybe it’s because they haven’t seen a miracle yet. Not
only for once.

adam
Yeah. I mean, miracles and trapped souls. What’s the
difference???

YOUNG COSTUMER
There’s no difference. There’s a result.

adam
What would that be???

YOUNG COSTUMER
Hope. There’s probably trapped miracles that need to be
released.

adam
I hope that’s true.
Silence.

YOUNG COSTUMER
Could you please turn the volume on?? I like this song.

adam
Your call, Captain. No problem.
He increases the volume. A moment of him driving as we

CUT TO:

.BACK TO SCENE.

!END OF DREAM

ADAM wakes up. He looks on the backseat and sees Evan and
Chloe and Trevor, sleeping. ADAM sighs.

.int. Adam's car. later - DAy.

EVAN
Hey, Adam, how many hours do we have???

adam
We'll arrive there, i think, in the next day. We're
close.

TREVOR
Didn't you said that the house was located on the
forest??

adam
It takes time, ok?? The more far is the way, the more
safe we are. There's a difference.

TREVOR
Alright.

TREVOR pulls out the toy, and, by using his mental powers, he
makes it levitate and spins. Trevor smiles as the toy is
spinning outta control. Adam is seeing the scene, then, he
wonders something.

adam
Am I supposed to dump you after I get you there?

TREVOR
What?

adam
You know, am i supposed to leave you guys alone once
we've arrived into the place?

evan
What? No, remember, we need a guardian. Why are you
saying that??

adam
 I was thinking....if we hide on there, then you won't
need for my help, and you'll kick me out of the house. I'm
thinking that you guys can take care of each other so well
without my help.

evan
Why are you thinking that?? No, we'll not dumping you
out. We're allied, remember??
Adam nods. He has a clear smile on his face.

EVAN
So, since when did you became an expert soldier???
Adam is now taking some new time to rethink things.

ADAM
Uhh, my dad was an expert, he told me how to shoot when I
was 13. After that, I impressed my whole family by the age of
19. One of my friends told me to be in the army. He was a good
man, but, they shot him. I became retired after the war, and
now I'm here, with THREE KIDS WITH MIND POWERS on my car. You
know, if I had a power, anything, it will be the power of
telekinesis. Which is basically what you guys have, i think. I
want to move stuff with my hands and my mind.

evan
That sounds good.

adam
You think?

evan
Yeah.

adam
And you Evan, what powers would you like to have?? I
mean, plus the powers you have now, would you like to have
another power.
Evan thinks.

EVAN
You know, i always wanted to have the claws of wolverine.

adam
Really?
 evan
Yeah, i think it would be awesome if i had the claws of
Wolverine. When i'm in danger, I want to decapitate the
enemies.
Adam chuckles.

The car drives through an empty road.

INT. CAR. night.

ADAM drives front. He’s weary. He drove all night and he

hasn’t slept. Not even for a bit. He is so tired. As he is
getting asleep, he wakes up. EVAN, Chloe and Trevor, who are
all awake, notice his state.

CHLOE
Tired.

adam
Mmm?

CHLOE
You're tired.

adam
(scoffs)
No, i'm not.

CHLOE
Yes you are. Adam, You drove all night. You haven’t
slept.
ADAM knows Chloe is right. But instead he just keeps driving.

CHLOE
Stop the car.

adam
No.

evan
Why no??? You need to sleep. Come on. Adam, Stop the car.
Then, Evan uses his mental abilities and...

...the car pulls over. ADAM sighs.

 ADAM
Alright. That’s it. You stopped the car. Congratulations.
Now what?

evan
Sleep.

adam
Where do i sleep? In my seat? There’s basically no
fucking space in here.

EVAN
You can sleep on the backseat.
ADAM sighs. He takes his seat belt off.

ADAM
Ok. Ok. Ok. Alright. You want me to sleep. I will. Too
easy.
He opens the door. He exits.

EXT. CAR. SAME.

ADAM exits the driver’s seat. He approaches to the backseat.

Evan and Chloe exit the backseat and go to the front seats.
Evan enters the driver's seat and Chloe enters the front seat.
Adam enters the backseat.

CUT TO:

INT. CAR. LATER.

.ON BACKSEAT.

ADAM is sleeping, snoring. So is Trevor.

.ON FRONT SEAT.

Evan is looking at him sleeping. Chloe is sleeping on the

front seat as well. Then, Evan closes his eyes and...

...a blanket levitates to ADAM. It opens wide and covers him.

ADAM sleeps comfortable.
Evan then slowly drives and parks the car right behind a
billboard. Evan then takes the keys off and begins to sleep.
Now they're all sleeping inside the car.

FADE TO :
BLACK.
INT. ADAM'S CAR - the day later. morning.

!BANG!

!BANG!

!BANG!

Evan briskly wakes up at the sight of three gunshots. Chloe

and Trevor do not wake up to the sound of the gunshots.
They're both sleeping. Evan then realizes that Adam is not in
the backseat.

EXT. ADAM'S CAR. SAME.

Evan exits the car and walks to Adam, who's shooting at empty
cans.

evan
Hey.

adam
(stops and turns at evan)
Hey.

evan
What are you doing?

adam
Just shooting at some cans i found on the backseat.

!BANG! BANG! BANG!

evan
Can i try?

Adam thinks about this for a second. Then...

 adam
Sure.

He hands the gun to Evan, who grabs it. Evan admires the gun.

evan
Whoa.

adam
Knock yourself out. Just don't shoot yourself in the
head.

Evan then points at one can.

ADAM
Ok, are you ready?

EVAN
Yeah.

ADAM
You see the target?

EVAN
I do.

ADAM
All you have to do is breathe in, breathe out, then pull
the trigger. Alright?

EVAN
Ok, got it.

ADAM
Whenever you want.

EVAN takes a moment. He breathes in and out.

!BANG!

He shoots. But misses the fire in the can. He sighs in

disappointment.

EVAN
I suck at this.
 ADAM
Now, that's alright. You don't need to worry about it.
Listen, all you need to do is point the gun exactly to your
target. Just -- Imagine you're on a football play right now,
ok? The bullet is the ball and the ark is the can. You need to
kick the ball so it enters the ark.

EVAN
I don't like football. I also suck at it.

ADAM
Ok then, let's just pretend -- Just imagine you're on a
boxing match. The bullet and the gun are the boxing glove and
your oponent is the can. Take your time and then pull the
trigger.

Adam backs off. EVAN points the gun at the can, takes a slow
breath and pulls the trigger, and --

--the bullet arrives on the CAN. THE CAN IS SHOT! ADAM and
EVAN get cheery. They cheer, celebrate, they get happy.

ADAM
Look at that, you did it.

EVAN
I did it, i got it.

ADAM
Good job, man.

CUT TO:

INT. ADAM'S CAR - later.

The car is driving on a forest. Then, it finally arrives on a

house on the forest. A BIG HOUSE. This is Adam's vacation
house.

adam
Here we are.

The trio looks at the house.

 TREVOR
Amazing.

Adam
I won't say you almost destroyed my car. And i also won't
say you guys owe me a car. So i'll better shut up for now.
Let's get in.

They exit the car.

CUT TO:

INT. ADAM'S VACATION HOUSE - MAIN ROOM. SECONDS LATER.

It is a colorful, beautiful house. It has A KITCHEN, A DINNING

ROOM, AN OFFICE, A SECOND FLOOR WITH MANY UNOCCUPIED ROOMS, A
BATHROOM, ETC. AND A THIRD FLOOR WITH ONE BIG BED, A WINDOW
WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE WEATHER, A BATHROOM AND A CLOSET. The
group enters into the house.

adam
Welcome to the hideout.

The trio admires the house, that has painted wood on its
walls.

adam
So, make sure you stay comfy. Feel like in home.

Evan finds a photo of ADAM and his son TOMAS, smiling and
laughing as they look at the camera. Adam notices Evan, who
admires the photo.

adam
That's my son. Well, that _was_ my son.
evan
What happened to him?

adam
He died.

evan
How?
 adam
_Evan_.
evan
Yeah?

Adam looks at him with that look that talks by itself:

_"Too much"_. Evan understands that look. He understands that
if he will ask for more, Adam will get emotional.
evan
Right. Sorry.
.later:

Trevor puts a vinyl disc on the vinyl player. It's the song "
DANCING IN THE DARK by BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN". Trevor begins to
dance to the song. Evan looks at him dance and laughs.
Adam approaches.

adam
You like that song.

TREVOR
Yeah! It's the best fucking song in the world!

adam
It's good that you guys have such cool musical taste.
CHLOE is moving across the house. It looks like she likes the
song too. Evan approaches to her. He takes her.

CHLOE
What are you Doing???
Evan starts taking her hands.

EVAN
I'm teaching you how to dance.
Evan teaches her. They both are hugging, and slowly, gently
and really great, they are moving. Evan is practicing more
dance movements with her.

EVAN
Ok, now, I'm going to teach you the best part.

He teaches her. It looks like it's working. They're both

dancing. He makes her spin, then, go back and dance together
again. The perfect dance.
 EVAN
You feel that??? You're learning.

As they dance gently, they hug again.

EVAN
That's it.

A moment of them dancing together.

CUT TO:

EXT. HOUSE. later.

Trevor and Evan are outside.

TREVOR
The weather is nice, eh??
Evan is so thoughtful he couldn't even give an answer. He is
LOOKING up. From his facial expression, we can totally guess
he's enamored. Trevor looks at him.

TREVOR
What's wrong? You're admiring the sky?

Evan takes a long, deep sigh.

evan
Yeah.
Trevor notices his case.

TREVOR
You like her, don't you??
Evan turns his head to Trevor.

EVAN
What?

TREVOR
You like Chloe, don't you?

evan
 What?! Chloe?! NO, EW!!!! Gross!!! Why do you have to
talk shit like that?! I mean, why would i like her in the
first place?!
Trevor knows right Evan's sarcasm. Evan is walking around,
sighs, and_

EVAN
Do _you_ like her?
TREVOR
No.
Evan is satisfied. Then, Trevor is thoughtful, he approaches
to Evan.

TREVOR
Ev, can you promise something to me?

evan
Sure, anything.

TREVOR
If I die, if Adam dies too, could you take good care of
CHLOE?? I want you to be the one who protects her and gives
her shelter. Alright?
Evan knows the right answer to say.

EVAN
As long as I put a foot on the ground, I will.

TREVOR
Good. Thank you so much. I knew I could count on you.
Evan was crossing arms.

EVAN
And, so, CHLOE, on her growing up, like fourteen years
old, did she had any accompaniments??

TREVOR
Yeah, I mean, after she escaped from the lab, she had to
"sell herself to men".

evan
Men?

TREVOR
 Yeah. Men. I'm not fucking shitting you. Everybody wanted
to touch her, but she declined. She obviously didn't wanted to
do it, all she wanted was the money. You know, to survive and
all that shit.

evan
And did she -- you know -- did it?

TREVOR
Almost. With a man. They were almost about to do it. She
declined. He was forcing her, but she killed him. She always
tell she hates her first experience.

evan
You mean her "almost first" experience.

TREVOR
She never had any "man" on her side. After that, I
approached to her, and I told her "Why don't you let me take
you to a nice and comfy home?". I took her to my place. She
thought I was going to touch her, but I showed her my humble
side to her. She stayed with me and my guardian for a couple
of months. She was getting clean. After I helped her, you
appeared in our lives. And we're now being chased by a bunch
of guys who want us. And we escaped with a fucking Uber
driver. I mean,
(chuckles)
I can't believe that there are fucking Uber drivers out
there, with the state of everything out there.

evan
Those fuckers are after us, and I'm not letting that
happen.

TREVOR
Thanks man.

Trevor taps on Evan's back. Both smile to each other.

evan
I promise you that no matter what happens, i'm not only
gonna protect her. I'm gonna protect all of you. Even if i
take a bullet to my guts, i will stand up, and i will save
you.
Trevor smiles to him.

TREVOR
Thanks, man.
Both walk into the house.

CUT TO:

INT. ADAM'S VACATION HOUSE - MAIN ROOM. SECONDS LATER.

Adam is watching TV as he's sitting on the couch. Evan is

behind the couch.

evan
Hey, Adam?

adam
Tell me.

evan
Can i ask you something?

adam
Sure, what is it?

evan
How do you talk to girls?

adam
I thought you knew that part.

evan
Well, yeah. But last time, with my ex, it was different.
I want _your_ explanation of the thing.
adam
Well, what is it? You're in love with somebody? You're in
love with Chloe?

Evan
No.
(pause; sighs)
Yes. Yeah. I'm in love with Chloe.

adam
 Well, first you start with the friendship. You and Chloe
are friends now?

evan
Yeah, kind of.

adam
When did you first met her?

evan
Days ago, i think.

adam
You think?

evan
Well, i dunno about it, man.

adam
Well, i think that from friendship you pass to love. You
should share more things with Chloe. You need to get closer to
her. You want to know her better, so do it. Tell her to tell
you stories and some shit like that.

evan
Is that how you did it with your wife?

adam
Yeah, more or less. By the way, we're going to the store
now with Trevor. If you want, you can invite Chloe to come
with us.

evan
Yeah. That'll work.

Evan runs upstairs.

INT. ADAM'S VACATION HOUSE - THIRD FLOOR. SECONDS LATER.

The third floor has nothing but a giant king-sized bed that's
close to the window. The window has a balcony in front of it.
And there's a bathroom in the back of the room.

CHLOE is standing at the balcony, looking and admiring the

weather.
After being chased by the forces of evil, she deserves this, a
quiet, calm moment, enjoying the nighty breeze.

Evan walks upstairs and approaches to her.

evan
Hey, Chloe.

She turns.

CHLOE
Hey.

evan
Adam and Trevor are going to the store, to buy some
drinks and maybe some snacks, do you want to come with us?
It's not -- I'm not asking you out for like a date, it's just
an Invitation with a friend--

CHLOE
I'm coming.

evan
Really?

CHLOE
Really.

evan
Great. Let's go.

They both walk downstairs.

CUT TO:

.int. beach. minutes later.

The gang is running so fast. They are laughing. Evan catches

CHLOE. They both fall on the soft sand.

CUT TO:
INT. BAY TOWN. moments later.

The gang was running on a BAY TOWN on the now relaxing night.
CHLOE was like on the mood, like, she never felt like this in
her entire life. So happy, full of life in her. The gang
ARRIVES to: THE DRINK STORE. Evan buys a Pepsi. TREVOR buys a
Coca-Cola. CHLOE buys a Sprite. Adam buys a beer. Adam pays
the drinks. The gang is still running.

On a colorful wall, Trevor, CHLOE and Evan pose to Adam who is

now taking photos at them.

A radio was sounding. Evan invites CHLOE to dance. They do it

very well. Looks like they've got the moves.

The whole town is lighted on.

CUT TO:

.int. beach. minutes later.

The gang is playing, running and falling on the sand. Evan

flips and falls on the sand. CHLOE does it too. She lands on
his side. They both laugh and look at the sky. It is a
beautiful landscape. TREVOR is playing on the sand, as Adam.

Evan and Chloe are lying together in the sand. Laughing. They
look at each other. An uncomfortable awkward silence fills the
scene.

evan
What?

CHLOE
I don't know. What?

evan
I don't know.

Chloe chuckles. So does Evan.

Adam approaches them.

adam
 Hey, come on. Let's go inside. Somebody is probably
watching us.

CHLOE
Why would anyone watch us? We're on a fucking beach.

The two rise from the sand.

CUT TO:

INT. ADAM'S VACATION HOUSE - THIRD FLOOR. MINUTES LATER.

EVAN was wandering around in a room. As he sees Chloe's

Backpack. He is focused on it. He opens it. He sees a comic,
as he raises it, we see it:

!A COMIC OF SUPERMAN.

EVAN IS thoughtful.

CHLOE:
What are you Doing???

EVAN turns surprised as he sees CHLOE.

How the hell did she got here??
EVAN:
I was just wandering around.

CHLOE:
No, you haven't. I saw you checking my backpack.

EVAN is screwed.

CHLOE:
Why were you Doing that???

EVAN:
I don't know, it was open!!! I was about to give it to
you-!

CHLOE notices the comic he's holding in his hands.

CHLOE:
(Pointing at the comic on his hands)
What is that on your hands???
EVAN looks at the comic again.

EVAN:
Oh yes, it's just a comic book that was on your backpack.
Do you read this on your free time-?

WHAM!!! She takes it off his hands aggressively.

CHLOE:
Stay out of my shit-!

As she walks away-

EVAN:
Is that comic yours?? Cause it is on your backpack. It
has to be yours.

No answer. As Evan SIGHS, she re-enters the room with the

comic in her hands.

EVAN notices.

CHLOE:
This COMIC was from my instructor back at the lab. He
loved to read this stuff on his free time. Everyday, he kept
saying how awesome would be to be a superhero.

She was getting teary. Something was wrong.

CHLOE:
He was everything to me. But, it all changed when he just
disappeared.

EVAN is shocked. Not jaw dropped.

CHLOE:
That's why I'm keeping the comic. To release myself from
pain. I was born the easy way. When I was one year old, I was
kidnapped and put on the laboratory.

SMASH TO:

INT. CHLOE'S ROOM.

A eleven year old CHLOE is lying on her bed, she's having a
nightmare. A wild one.

CHLOE: (O.S)
They brought me here. All they keep doing is drugging me
with injections that I succumb on.
INT. LABORATORY ROOM.

Scientists and doctors were experimenting with baby CHLOE. She

is crying.

One scientist injects on her the same UNSTOPPABLE,

unbreakable, venom that's her powers.

INT. OTHER ROOM.

A five year-old CHLOE is tied, unconscious to a bed. On the

back of her neck, a doctor was putting the tattoo 25 on her.
(That explains it all. Now, it makes sense).

CHLOE: (O.S)
They made my powers. They changed my identity. My name,
born date, everything.
INT. LABORATORY ROOM.

!BACK TO SCENE.

CHLOE: (O.S)
They used me as a weapon. They wanted me to become an
assassin. Of course, every TIME I resisted, they kept
torturing me, "punishing" me.
INT. FIELD TEST.
_DAY_
We see a glimpse of an eleven year old CHLOE being kicked,
punched.

CHLOE: (O.S)
It was madness. I felt more than hurt.
INT. OFFICE ROOM.

A doctor, Lapostol, approaches to Roger and Franco, who are

sitting in chairs, next to a large table.

LAPOSTOL:
 She's getting more difficult. What do you recommend,
sir??

FRANCO:
Well, (SIGHS) you're a doctor. Try spending some days
talking to her. Try teaching her something.
INT. CHLOE'S ROOM.

Doctor Lapostol is sitting next to a twelve year OLD CHLOE.

LAPOSTOL:
Fear only attracts more fear. You shouldn't be afraid,
fear always goes away by the passing of time.

CHLOE: (O.S)
Doctor Lapostol was the only closest friend to me. He
told me stories, he started caring about me. He was the only
person in the laboratory who cared about me.

LAPOSTOL:
What is it that you want the most in life???

CHLOE:
Seeing my real parents. I want to go home, I don't want
to STILL be in here.

LAPOSTOL:
Listen, honey. The lead workers on here want to make a
solution so you could impress them. They want your MIND and
strength.
(SILENCE; SIGHS)
They want to turn you into an assassin.
(SILENCE; SIGHS)
As soon as they find a solution for you, YOU'LL BE able
to exit the lab and probably be with a family. The rest will
take care of the other stuff.

CHLOE:
That's what they always say.

LAPOSTOL:
Ow sweetie.

LAPOSTOL hugs CHLOE. She starts crying.

 CHLOE:
I don't want to be a weapon. I don't want to hurt, or
kill people. I don't want to become in a monster.

She starts weeping.

CHLOE:
Would you help me get out of here??

LAPOSTOL:
I'll do my best. I promise you'll get out with my help.
I'll think of something. (SILENCE) Do you have a real name??

CHLOE:
My name here is 25. But, my real name is Chloe. I don't
know what name do you like.

LAPOSTOL:
I'm gonna call you by the name you want me to call you.

CHLOE
Chloe.

LAPOSTOL:
Alright, Chloe.

LAPOSTOL:
I actually like your name. It's pretty.

CHLOE:
Thanks.
INT. FIELD TEST.

A twelve year-old CHLOE was training with amazing karate

movements. Her trainer is Lapostol. She's training so good.

CHLOE: (O.S)
They trained me. But, they wanted more.
INT. CHLOE'S ROOM.

She was crying on her bed. She's having a wild nightmare. As

she wakes up, she opens her eyes as she sees Lapostol, sitting
close to her.

LAPOSTOL:
 You were having a bad dream. A nightmare as you call it
on this days.

CHLOE slowly wakes up.

LAPOSTOL:
What were you dreaming about???

CHLOE takes some minutes OF HER TIME.

CHLOE:
I was dreaming....about me killing and hurting people. I
WAS a MONSTER.

LAPOSTOL:
Killing and hurting???

CHLOE:
I was shredding them to pieces. I was shredding the
people I care.......including you.

LAPOSTOL approaches to her.

LAPOSTOL:
Hey. It's OK. It was just a nightmare. It's not true. It
was just a dream. Don't worry.

CHLOE:
I don't want to be a MONSTER.

LAPOSTOL:
Listen to me. You're not a monster.

CHLOE:
I AM!!! I'm ordered to hurt people!!! Even kill them!!!

LAPOSTOL:
YOU'RE NOT A MONSTER!!!

CHLOE:
YES, I AM!!!

She hugs him. He does the same. He's teary. She cries out
loud.
 LAPOSTOL:
You're not.........You're a human being like us.

She continues crying.

INT. OFFICE ROOM.

FRANCO was watching the situation on the TV. ROGER approaches.

FRANCO:
She still thinks we're the bad guys. Once again, we're
not.

ROGER:
Do you think we'll have to do something with that
doctor???

FRANCO is thoughtful.
INT. CHLOE'S ROOM. THE OTHER DAY _
CHLOE is lying in her bed.

LAPOSTOL arrives with a comic book of Superman. CHLOE notices

it.

CHLOE:
What is that???

LAPOSTOL:
Oh this, this is a comic book I bought on a store. It's
from DC. You'll love it, but YOU'LL love more MARVEL. They're
the real thing.

CHLOE checks it. She's amazed.

LAPOSTOL:
How cool would it be to be a superhero??? Have the
ability to save and most of all, help people. Have
superpowers.

CHLOE checks on pages.

CHLOE:
Could you come here and read it with me???

LAPOSTOL:
 Sure.

LAPOSTOL lays on the side of her.

LAPOSTOL:
Hope you don't get uncomfortable.

CHLOE:
I don't mind.

THEY start reading the comic.

LATER: Lapostol is asleep. CHLOE is still reading it, focused.

LAPOSTOL briefly wakes up. He refreshes his eyes.

LAPOSTOL:
How many times I've been asleep??

CHLOE:
One hour. I've already finished it. It's nice. Bring one
of MARVEL to see if it's, you know, "the real thing", as you
say.

LAPOSTOL:
Hey, Chloe, I don't know if this would sound weird, but,
I'm starting to consider you as my family.

CHLOE is thoughtful.

CHLOE:
As your family?

LAPOSTOL:
Yeah.

CHLOE:
But how? You're not my Dad.

Then, she realizes.

CHLOE:
You lost someone before, right? A member of your family?

LAPOSTOL:
 (nods)
My very own sister.

CHLOE:
You ever had a sister before???

LAPOSTOL:
Once. She died at the age of eleven due to a terminal
disease.

CHLOE:
I'm so sorry. Cancer???

LAPOSTOL is thoughtful. Maybe it was cancer.

CHLOE:
I do accept you as my brother too.

LAPOSTOL moves off the bed.

LAPOSTOL:
Try sleeping for a while. I can give to you the comic.
Keep it. All yours.

He leaves.

CHLOE:
Lapostol?

He turns to her.

CHLOE:
Thank you for the comic.

LAPOSTOL:
(smiles)
You're welcome, Chloe.

CUT TO:

EXT. LABORATORY. NIGHT.

It's a rainy night indeed. We're behind Lapostol, who's

walking to his car. Then -- As he's about to open it with his
car keys --
 FRANCO
Mr. Lapostol!

Lapostol turns and sees Franco approaching to him.

LAPOSTOL:
Mr. Franco?

FRANCO
Do you still think we're all the fucking enemy?

Franco then shoots at Lapostol, two times in the chest. He

gasps and grunts in pain. Franco shoots him again, now on the
EYE! Lapostol falls to the ground.

FRANCO
I do not train those kids to be rebels. I train them to
be killers.

He walks back to the lab.

CUT BACK TO:

INT. ADAM'S VACATION HOUSE - THIRD FLOOR. PRESENT DAY.

Evan is still with Chloe.

evan
So -- your name back in the lab -- was 25, right?

CHLOE
That's right.

evan
That explains the tattoo. The number 25 in the back of
your neck. That explains it all.

She backs off. She takes off her pocket EVAN'S phone.

evan
Is that my phone?

CHLOE
 Yeah.

evan
What was it doing in your pocket?

CHLOE
I kept it.

evan
What?

CHLOE
While you were sleeping, i took it and i kept it.

evan
With so much reason i couldn't find it.

CHLOE
(feeling guilty)
Sorry.

evan
It's fine. Just ask it to me first, ok?

CHLOE
Ok.

She starts rubbing between songs. EVAN notices it and

approaches to her.

EVAN:
Are you trying to calm the pain with music???

She nods as he stops her on one song.

EVAN:
Man, you should listen to this one.

CHLOE:
Is it good as the others???

EVAN:
Good? This? This is much better. I Want To Break Free, by
QUEEN. The greatest band I've ever heard in my life. Probably
the greatest band of rock of all time. I used to heard it with
my mom. We love every song of it. No voice compares to the
voice of the one and only: _Freddie Mercury_.
CHLOE thinks as Evan presses on the song, it plays. He takes
off her pocket the earbuds (because when CHLOE was about to
tell her story, she literally takes off the earbuds off the
phone), and he puts them on the phone.

EVAN:
It's better if you hear it this way.

As he puts the earphones on her, the song was turning into a

background music. CHLOE'S eyes were glowing. She was
impressed. She was jaw dropped.

EVAN leans on her.

EVAN:
Let me....

CHLOE:
WHAT???

EVAN:
Let me hear it with you.

He takes one earphone and puts it on his ear, close to hers.

They're both listening to the song. They start dancing gently
and slowly.

EVAN:
You like it???

CHLOE nods happily.

CHLOE:
I appreciate what you did for us.
(SILENCE)
You're.......good. I mean, good more like the others guys
I met before you.

EVAN is flattered.

EVAN:
I think you're good too.
 CHLOE:
Because??

EVAN:
Because you're smart, funny, angry. Plus, your hair, it's
pretty good dyed. I think you look nice.

CHLOE is impressed, she starts touching her dyed hair. She

smiles.

CHLOE:
IS that a joke??? Cause Ha Ha.

EVAN:
No, it's not. It's not a joke. I'll never do that with
you.

CHLOE:
What??? Jokes on me?? Of how stupid I look???

EVAN:
No, you're not stupid. I think you're GORGEOUS.

CHLOE:
Really??? WOW.

EVAN:
What do you mean by WOW?

CHLOE:
Nothing, it's just...

EVAN:
It's just what?

CHLOE:
You're like the first person who ever called me gorgeous.

Evan is taken aback.

EVAN:
Really? No one else called you gorgeous?

CHLOE:
No.
EVAN leans his hand to hers.

EVAN:
Now, dance with me.

She takes his hands. They're both looking at each other. As

they're both moving gently and slowly. She doesn't know how to
dance like him.

CHLOE:
Is this how you do it???

EVAN:
Yeah.

They're moving around. She leans to him and she embraces him.
He does the same.

!SILENCE, THEN--

CHLOE:
Plus, changing the theme, you're also honest and clean. I
think you're nice, and thanks for those compliments on me.

He nods.

EVAN:
You're also nice than the other girl I've met.

CHLOE:
Who was she???

EVAN:
Well, she was Camille. It happened a year ago. I started
dating her. She promised to love me. One day, I found her
sleeping with her new boyfriend in her house. I left angry and
crashed her car.

He chuckles.

EVAN:
I don't think i took a fucking photo of the car. Man, you
should have seen it. I crashed it just like the cars crash on
the action movies.
 CHLOE:
Just like in the action movies.

She thinks.

CHLOE:
You liked her???

EVAN:
More or less. She was pretty grumpy let's just say.

As both were looking at each other, they started moving gently

to each other. Another of those unexpected kiss scenes. As
they were about to kiss, she realizes something is wrong and
she takes off the earphone.

CHLOE:
I'm sorry, I can't. I'm so, so sorry.

CHLOE leaves, EVAN pauses the song and takes the earphone off
him.

As she was about to leave, EVAN uses his mental powers to make
her spin to him. As she arrives to him, he kisses her. She
gasps as she was raising her hand, to probably occasion pain
on him.

He backs off. She was wondering. He realizes what he's done.

He's now with a huge embarrassment on him.

EVAN:
I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have done that. I know you
don't like that. And I get it. I'll accept that you hit me.
I'M SO SORRY!! I've never thought of that! I'm sorry, it was a
mistake. I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE THAT, but......UGH.

He leaves, embarrassed. She was still standing and surprised.

EVAN:
I'll let you sleep on here alone if you want, I can sleep
downstairs. If there's no problem with that--
As he was going straight into the door, some kinda invisible
force stops the door, closes it and locks it. EVAN gasps and
turns to realize CHLOE did it.

EVAN:
Is everything ok??

!CHLOE APPROACHES TO HIM.

CHLOE:
Listen, you haven't done anything bad. I can see we make
mistakes sometimes. And second, how did you know I didn't like
it???

EVAN:
Trevor told me. Outside the house.

CHLOE thinks.

CHLOE:
If you tell him about this, I'll cut your tongue off
while you sleep.

EVAN:
Trust me, I won't say anything.

CHLOE:
Swear it. Hand on your heart, the other raise it. Now.

EVAN puts his hand on his heart and he raises the other hand.
He looks serious.

EVAN:
I promise I won't say anything. This will be a secret.

CHLOE chuckles as she approaches to Evan--

CHLOE:
You need to relax a while and leave the traumas behind.

She approaches his lips and kisses him. He does the same.

They kiss gently.

INT. BEACH. same.

We see the beautiful glowing water of the beach as waves were
going straight to the sand.

INT. THE THIRD FLOOR. LATER.

Evan and Chloe are sleeping together, NOT NAKED and NOT HALF-
NAKED. They're just sleeping together.

They're both hugging and softly caressing each other.

EVAN opens his eyes.

EVAN:
Want me to close the Window?? I think you might get cold.
Someone might be watching us.

CHLOE:
Nobody is watching us while we're here. Trust me. Does
this make you feel better??

EVAN:
Much better. Thanks.

CHLOE:
There's not a problem at all.

EVAN:
I'm sorry.

CHLOE:
What For???

EVAN:
If this is leaving you uncomfortable.

CHLOE:
No, it's ok. It's fine. You don't have to worry. We've
been through some traumatic experiences.

evan
Definitely traumatic. And obviously fucking shitty.

CHLOE
And, I wanted to clean my pain with this. Love.
 evan
I think I’ve finally made my choice. I've made my choice:
I don't want to lose you guys. You're the only thing I got
that's important to me.

Chloe touches his face, gently.

CHLOE
You won't lose us. We won't depart again. Plus, I needed
this. Whatever that was, so. Thanks.

He kisses her lips.

Chloe puts her head back in his chest. Closes her eyes, smiles
and....

evan
You're welcome.

He kisses her head.

They're both ready to sleep through the night.

INT. ADAM'S VACATION HOUSE - MAIN ROOM. SECONDS LATER.

ADAM is sleeping on the couch. He's having a nightmare. A bad

one.

CUT TO:

INT. PARK FOREST. DAY. FLASHBACK (ADAM'S DREAM)

WE LOOK UP, to see the wonderful trees blowing on a
wonderfully sunny day. Then, we go down as we see a RED CAR
arriving to the scene. Exiting the car, there's a man, almost
over weighted. He has curly hair and a growing beard. He is
UNCLE PABLO (42). Exiting the driver's seat, there's his wife
ALEJANDRA (37). And their young son ALEJANDRO (ALEJO; 8). They
all walk somewhere. They pass us. Alejo has a wrapped gift on
his hands. Due to its medium size, we can assure it's an
action figure like those from the superheroes. We turn to
wherever they're walking to: A FAMILY OF TWO. The young
father, ADAM and his son Tomas (7).
 adam
Hi! How are we doing?
They say their hellos by kissing on the cheek.

UNCLE PABLO
So sorry we arrived late. There was a huge traffic when
we got out.

To Tomas:

UNCLE PABLO
Hey there, champ. How are you doing?

TOMAS
Hey uncle Pablo. Hey Alejandro!

ALEJANDRO
Hey, man.

He presents a gift to Tomas.

ALEJANDRO
Here you go.

Tomas takes it.

TOMAS
Thank you.

adam
Alejo, there's a giant jumping castle in there. Go and
play with him.

ALEJANDRO
Ok.

TOMAS
Let's go!

Adam sees how Tomas and Alejandro run to the giant jumping
castle. Uncle Pablo approaches to Adam.

UNCLE PABLO
They grow up so damn fast, don't they??
 CUT TO:

.LATER:

The whole family is reunited. Cousins, brothers, uncles,

aunts, grandpas, grandmas. Every member of the family is
reunited. Tomas and the kids are playing on the giant jumping
castle. Adam is talking to Alejandra. Tomas jumps out of the
giant jumping castle. He tries to find his shoes, and as he
finds them, he puts them on. He goes for a walk.

INT. PARK FOREST - FOREST - MOMENTS LATER

Tomas walks alone on the forest of the park. He just walks

alone. He grabs a stick he finds on the ground and begins to
play with it. Then, he hears footsteps. He sees a man walking
nearby him. The man stops in front of Tomas.

CUT TO:

INT. PARK FOREST - SAME.

Adam then notices Tomas is gone. Adam notices Tomas is not on

the giant jumping castle. Now it's time to be so fucking
alarmed.

adam
Wait, where's Tomas?

ALEJANDRA
Tomas? Isn't he in the castle?

adam
No, he's not there. I don't see him there.

ALEJANDRA
What?

adam
Oh God.

He begins to be looking for him.

adam
 Tomas?

UNCLE PABLO
What is it?

adam
(alarmed)
It's Tomas. I can't find him anywhere. He's not in the
castle.

UNCLE PABLO
What?! But he was right here.

adam
Yeah, but he's gone now. Maybe he walked away or
something like that
He begins looking everywhere. Alarmed.

adam
Tomas?! TOMAS?! TOMAS!

CUT BACK TO:

INT. PARK FOREST - FOREST - SAME.

Tomas is with the man.

MAN
Hi. What a nice stick you've got.

Tomas is silent.

He just doesn't move a muscle. He does blink, by the way, But

he doesn't move.

CUT TO:

INT. PARK FOREST. SAME.

A MONTAGE OF AN ALARMED ADAM DESPERATELY TRYING TO LOOK FOR

HIS SON. HE LOOKS EVERYWHERE. HE ASKS EVERYONE ON THE PARK IF
THEY HAVE SEEN HIM, BUT NO GOOD RESULT. THEY KNOW NOTHING OF
HIM.
.LATER:

The cops arrived at the scene.

A COP is with Adam, who's teary.

COP
So, you've last seen him where??

adam
On the castle, playing.

The COP writes on his small notebook.

cop
On the castle, playing. And you didn't saw him leaving?

adam
No. I didn't. I didn't saw him.
She sees Uncle Pablo approaching to them.

adam
SO? Anything good?

UNCLE PABLO
We looked everywhere. We checked the entire zone. And
he's --

adam
He's what? Tell me something good. Is he here? Is he
gone? Is he still alive?

UNCLE PABLO
He's not here.
Adam sighs in despair. Uncle Pablo comforts him by embracing
him. Adam begins to cry.

UNCLE PABLO
It's alright. They will find him. We will find him.

FADE TO :
BLACK.

SMASH TO.:
INT. FOREST - THE NEXT DAY

It's not the park. It's somewhere else. The trees slowly blow.
The grass is also blowing. The day has already arrived. The
daylight sounds illuminate. There's grass blowing. The sounds
of the trees and the grass blowing sound so calm. It produces
a calm feeling on us. It makes us relax, it makes the viewer
get calmed in an easy way. This is like the world’s best
relaxing therapy of all time. Nature.

We see various shots of a forest. It looks haunting and

beautiful. Like if it was taken from a painting or from a
Disney movie. We start to see various shots of this beautiful
forest. On the final shot, we see an abandoned house, on the
middle of a circled spot with the big trees surrounding it and
with green grass all around the circled spot. The moon is
shining brightly as the house rests on broad moonlight.

emiliano
Hey Adriano.

ADRIANO
What?

emiliano
You're a fucking dork, man.

ADRIANO
Oh shut up, man.
Coming out of the woods, we see two young boys. Their names
are Emiliano and Adriano, obviously brothers. Adriano is 8
years old while Emiliano is 14 years old. Both packed with
flashlights on their hands, illuminating their way as they
walk. Adriano and Emiliano find the house. They stop on the
grass.

EMILIANO
There it is, man.

ADRIANO
Whoa.

emiliano
What do you think?
 ADRIANO
It looks abandoned.

emiliano
No shit, Sherlock. Who cares if it looks abandoned? Let's
go.
Emiliano runs to the entrance of the house. Adriano thinks
about it for a moment. Emiliano turns and stops running.

emiliano
Well? What are you waiting for?

ADRIANO
I don’t know about this, man, alright?? I mean, what if
we get in trouble?? What if we both die in there??

Emiliano scoffs.

emiliano
What are you talking about? Oh what is it now? Are you a
chicken? Are you a fucking pussy??

ADRIANO
I just don't want to get inside, that's all.

emiliano
Owww, what's the matter? You scared? Huh? Are you a
little girl??

Adriano doesn’t fight back. He lets those words sink in.

EMILIANO
Look, you can just go back to the house and i’m gonna get
inside and see what i might find, alright??

He scoffs again.

emiliano
(to himself)
Fucking pussy.

He turns to the house and walks to it. Adriano seems worried

about the situation.

EMILIANO
 Do whatever you want. I’m coming in anyways. Plus, i’ve
got my flashlight with me.

Emiliano approaches to the door. As he touches it, the door

slowly opens. This shocks Emiliano, who laughs in surprise.

EMILIANO
Hey, look at this, it's open-!
As he turns, he sees that his little brother had already left.
Emiliano looks everywhere he can. Then, as he stops looking,
he scoffs. He turns to the house as he enters inside.

INT. ABANDONED HOUSE. SAME.

The temple is House. It looks empty. The windows are sealed

with woods marking an X on it. As Emiliano shines his way
inside the temple with the flashlight, he shines everywhere.

emiliano
Whoa.
A QUICK MONTAGE of EMILIANO as he navigates on the abandoned
house. He finally ends his search on the first floor. He
approaches the stairs, to the second floor. He begins to walk
upstairs.

INT. ABANDONED HOUSE - SECOND FLOOR - SAME TIME

EMILIANO walks upstairs. He illuminates everywhere he can.

Then, he walks to the bedroom.

FRONT-FRAMING: Emiliano enters the bedroom. And what he sees

next begins to disgust him, horrify him, terrify him, shock
him, all of those emotions at the same time.

CUT TO:

INT. ADAM’S CAR - LATER THAT NIGHT

ADAM drives furiously on the forest road. Uncle Pablo is with

him. He finally sees the police cars waiting on the side of
the road. Uncle Pablo is with him.

ADAM
This is it.
He pulls over. He quickly exits the car.

INT. FOREST - MOMENTS LATER

Adam begins to run through the forest. He then ends up outside

the big abandoned house on the woods. She sees various
policemen. He runs to the house. Pablo chases after him.

UNCLE PABLO
Adam! Wait!
A POLICEMAN notices him. He stops Adam's way in.

POLICEMAN
You can't go inside.

Adam
Is that my son inside? Please, I need to see if that's my
son inside.

Then, two PARAMEDICS are translating a wrapped body to an

ambulance that's parked on the side of the forest road. Adam
sees the body wrapped in black. Adam chases after the body.
But the POLICEMAN, including Uncle Pablo, stop him.

adam
Stop! Stop it! Let me see him!

UNCLE PABLO
Adam, stop it! Stop it now!

adam
((alarmed; in despair))
LET ME SEE HIM! IS THAT MY SON IN THERE?! IS THAT MY
FUCKING SON IN THERE?!

He begins to cry.

adam
Is that my son in there??
He suddenly stops resisting. He succumbs to the crying.

CUT BACK TO:

INT. ADAM'S VACATION HOUSE - MAIN ROOM. morning. PRESENT DAY.

Adam gasps as he wakes up. It's already morning. He looks
around. And realizes that what he lived was a flashback, it
was just a dream.

INT. ADAM'S VACATION HOUSE - THIRD FLOOR. MORNING.

Chloe is sleeping by herself on the bed. Evan finishes up

dressing on. He leans in and gives Chloe a kiss on the cheek.
He walks off the room.

CUT TO:

EXT. ADAM'S VACATION HOUSE. SECONDS LATER.

Evan walks outside and sees the quiet, solemn, calm morning
ambiance. Trevor approaches to him.

TREVOR
Having fun upstairs?

evan
No. How did you knew?

TREVOR
I just -- knew.

evan
How long have i slept?

TREVOR
Around 7 hours. Is she still sleeping?

evan
Yeah, i think so.

Adam approaches to them.

adam
So, listen you guys. I'm gonna be at the supermarket. I'm
gonna buy some stuff, alright?

evan
Sure.
 TREVOR
We'll stay right here.

adam
Good. Does any one of you want to come with me or --?

evan
We're being hunted by a secret lab. I guess you need to
go on your own.

adam
Yeah, you're right.

evan
Plus. I appreciate the offer, but, I rather stay here.
You know, to protect the group.

adam
I get it. Can you take care if yourselves while I'm
gone??

EVAN
Please, we've handled bad guys before. We'll be fine.

adam
Alright. I'll go to the supermarket. Just promise me you
won't break shit while i'm gone.

TREVOR
We promise not to break shit while you're gone.

adam
Good. I won't take long.

He heads for his car. He drives off. Trevor turns to Evan.

TREVOR
Do you want to break shit while he's gone?

CUT TO:

INT. SUPERMARKET. MOMENTS LATER.

Adam is buying some stuff on the supermarket of the bay town.

ROGER, one of Franco's co-workers, the same guy from Chloe's
flashback story, is talking on the phone.

ROGER
Sir, i get what what you're trying to say. Don't yell at
me. My last Wait, don't hang up on me. No!!!

The conversation is over.

ROGER
God damn it!!! I gotta get those kids, and get rid off
that fucking driver man.

ADAM realizes. He begins to wonder.

Kids? Driver man? Wait. This could be...Oh shit! He is now
beginning to get worried.
ROGER
I'll impress my boss. He'll ascend me. Better, a
promotion. That's why i need to get those kids and kill that
fucking driver, whoever he was driving them.

Adam begins to get more worried. He goes to the FEMALE

CASHIER.

CUT TO:

.later:

Adam is at the female cashier. He's paying up the things he

just bought.

CUT TO:

INT. ADAM'S VACATION HOUSE - MAIN ROOM. night.

Adam is watching the news on the TV. There's a reporting of

the picture of Adam on the news. Now, there's an Uber Driver
being wanted by the authorities.

Then, three knocks on the door are emitted. Adam turns and
looks at it.
 adam
Who is it?

No answer. Three knocks on the door are emitted again.

Adam rises from the couch and walks to the door. He stands in
front of it.

adam
I said: Who is it?

Silence again. No answer.

Adam opens the door and sees...

...A WHOLE BUNCH OF GUARDS. On front of them, there's ROGER.

ROGER
Evening, sir.

Adam gasps. He gets scared.

adam
Who the fuck are you?

ROGER
Messenger service.

adam
Yeah, you're some kind of messenger service who came here
with your own messenger service men.

ROGER
See, i'm not here to arrest you. I'm just here because i
want to cooperate with you. I believe that you have something
of mine that belongs to me and my men.

adam
Something? I've got nothing. Sorry, but I've got nothing
that belongs to you.
.ON THE STAIRCASE:

Chloe is watching the scene in secret. She sees Adam and the
Guards, commanded by Roger. They're still talking.
Chloe then quickly runs upstairs.

INT. ADAM'S VACATION HOUSE - THIRD FLOOR. SAME.

Chloe runs to Evan and Trevor, who are sitting on the bed.
They rise when they see Chloe running to them. She stops in
front of them.

evan
What? What is it?

CHLOE
They're here. They've found us.

EVAN & TREVOR

(whispering)
What?!

Chloe shushes them.

CHLOE
They're here. They're gonna catch us. They're gonna send
us back.

evan
Fucking shit.

CHLOE
What do we do now?

They’re all in despair right now.

Then, Trevor has an idea.

TREVOR
Alright. I have an idea. But you won’t like it.

EVAN
What?

CHLOE
What is it? What’s your idea?

TREVOR
 Listen to me, I’ll levitate you so you can get to the ground
safe and sound. Then, you’re gonna have to levitate me and
bring me to the ground.

CHLOE
You got it.

EVAN
Great idea, Trev.

TREVOR
Alright, Chloe, you'll go first. Evan, go check if the guards
are inside.

EVAN
Got it.

Evan walks down the stairs. Chloe looks at Evan go, she looks
worried.

TREVOR
Chloe, he’ll be fine. Don’t worry about him. Okay, are you
ready?

CHLOE
Yeah. I’m ready.

TREVOR
Okay. Stand on the balcony.

Chloe walks to the balcony. She stands there. Then, Trevor

starts to slowly levitate her with his powers. He levitates
her. She slowly starts to float to the outside. She finally
lands on her feet to the outside.

TREVOR
Great. Now it’s my turn.

CUT TO:
ON EVAN
He walks downstairs. He then secretly sees Adam trying to
enter into some kind of reason with the guards, and
especially, with Roger.
Evan secretly watches. He just watches. Then, he runs back
upstairs.

CUT TO:
EXT. ADAM’S VACATION HOUSE. SECONDS LATER.

Trevor lands on his feet to the ground outside Adam’s vacation

house. Then, Evan stands at the balcony of the third floor.
Chloe and Trevor look at him.

TREVOR
How’s the situation from downstairs?

EVAN
Stable.

TREVOR
Stable? Alright, that’s good. Are you ready?

EVAN
Yeah.

TREVOR
Alright.

Trevor and Chloe close their eyes. And suddenly, they use
their mental abilities to make Evan to levitate and float away
from the balcony. He lands on the ground roughly. He grunts.

CUT TO:
INT. ADAM’S VACATION HOUSE - DOWNSTAIRS. SAME.
The GUARDS, ROGER and ADAM heard that grunting. Adam gasps. He
gets worried.

Roger starts to laugh.

ROGER
Didn’t your mother tell you to not to lie to everyone?

ADAM
Yeah, she just told me not to lie at her and only to lie at
the people i don’t know--
Adam attacks the guards and shoots one in the face. But, Roger
shoots Adam in the chest, leaving him totally hurt. Adam
coughs.

Roger laughs again.

ROGER
Now we’ve got a fighter here. Take him outside. Beat the shit
out of him.

The guards drag him outside.

GUARD
(to roger)
What do we do now?

ROGER
You know the drill. Get the fucking kids, and get this whole
fucking thing over with.

GUARD
You mean search the entire fucking house?

ROGER
No, they’re already outside. Find them.

GUARD
Yessir.
(to the other guards)
Move outside!

While half of the guards run, armed, to the forest, the other
half of the guards are viciously and brutally beating the shit
out of Adam.

CUT TO:
EXT. ADAM’S VACATION HOUSE - FOREST. SAME.

The three youngsters are running. The guards hear the running
noises, they run to the youngsters, with flashlights and guns.

TREVOR
Let’s split up.

CHLOE
 Okay.

The three youngsters split up. They go on their own directions

now.

Evan hides behind a tree, strongly breathing. Chloe keeps on

running, just like Trevor.

ON CHLOE

She strongly inhales and exhales. She covers her mouth.

After a couple of seconds, she doesn’t hear any more

footsteps.

She slowly walks out of behind the tree she was hiding on.

She looks behind him. There are no guards in the forest. She
looks in the front. She sighs. She is all alone now.

Then, she hears a noise. She gasps and turns back.

CHLOE
Evan?

Then, BANG! A GUARD SHOOTS AT HER ON THE GUTS! Chloe gasps and
grunts. She is paralyzed and hurt. She can’t do anything to
defend herself, she just needs to stop the pain.

She falls to the ground, defeated.

ROGER runs to her, aiming a gun to Chloe’s head.

ROGER
Don’t worry, sweetheart. The pain will cease very soon.
(to the guards)
Boys!

The guards approach. Roger throws the hurt Chloe to them.

ROGER
Get him to the truck.

Roger looks forward.

 GUARD 6
What about the others, sir?

ROGER
The others? Nah. Fuck them. They’re gone now. They’ll figure
out their own ways together.

He turns to the guards, who are still quiet as fuck.

ROGER
Well?! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?! MOVE OUT!

THE GUARDS move out.

ON ADAM

He’s down on the floor, hurt and paralyzed. He can’t get up.
The damage that the guards have done to his body is
irreparable.

The guards are still beating the living shit out of him, with
kicks, punches and beatings.

ROGER arrives with the guards holding Chloe, who’s now with
this metallic collar on her neck.

If any young boy or girl who has powers gets that metallic
neck collar, he or she will no longer use his / her powers.

ROGER
(to the guards beating down adam)
Alright guys. Leave him alone.

The guards stop beating ADAM. They all start to wonder.

RANDOM GUARD
And the other two?

ROGER
What? Oh, those two? They are no longer our problem. With this
girl is enough. Let’s move out.

Adam, hurt, can barely speak.

ADAM
 ...No...

A GUARD, who was wetting the house’s floor with all the liquor
in the house, sets the house on fire. Now the house is on
fire. Adam watches it burn. He can’t believe what he’s seeing.

A hurt ADAM watches how the guards put Chloe on a truck.

They’re all getting inside their trucks. They drive away.

Adam stays there. He then closes his eyes, stops breathing....

....and dies.

MINUTES LATER:

Adam still lays there, dead.

Then, EVAN and TREVOR run to the scene. They notice the burned
up house.

EVAN
What the fuck happened?

They spot Adam on the ground, collapsed and dead. They both
get shocked, alarmed and horrified.

TREVOR
Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh my God.

EVAN
A-Adam?

EVAN quickly lunges to Adam, who looks like he has been beaten
the shit out of him. Evan gasps. He quickly takes his pulse
and has no good results whatsoever. He begins to cry.

Trevor lunges at him. He prepares his powers. He touches

Adam’s forehead with one hand, and the other is on his bloody
wound.

EVAN
What’re you doing?

TREVOR
Stand back.
 EVAN
Why?

TREVOR
Just do what I say, alright? Stand back.

Evan, convinced, rises and stands back.

Then, Trevor closes his eyes and he begins to use his healing
powers to heal Adam’s face injury and his bloody wound. Trevor
grunts.

Evan just watches, curious like a small child.

Then, after a couple of seconds, the injuries of Adam are

cured.

Adam strongly gasps and inhales from his mouth. He is alive,

again.

Evan gasps of happiness. Trevor opens his eyes and sees Adam,
and he smiles.

Adam strongly breathes. He looks at Evan and Trevor.

ADAM
Why are you looking at me?

Evan cries and laughs of happiness. He quickly hugs Adam.

A father-son-like moment.

Adam embraces him. Trevor joins in the hug.

ADAM
Man, that really fucking hurt.

Then, Evan realizes something important.

EVAN
Where is Chloe?

The hug breaks. They all look at each other.

 ADAM
Oh, yeah. Chloe. She, uh...

TREVOR
She what?

ADAM
They took her.

Trevor and Evan want to hear again what Adam just said.

EVAN
What?

TREVOR
What was that?

ADAM
The bad guys. They took her.

Trevor and Chloe then start to realize one horrible thing.

TREVOR
Which means...

EVAN
...she is now being taken back to the lab.

TREVOR
(can’t believe what is happening)
Shit!

The truth is this: They don’t want to go back there. They hate
it there. They always hated it there.

ADAM
What are we going to do now?

EVAN
(sighs)
I don’t know. I don’t want to go back to the lab. But I don’t
want anything bad to happen to Chloe.

Trevor and Evan look at each other.

 TREVOR
We have to go back.

Evan shakes his head.

EVAN
I’m not coming back.

TREVOR
Wait, I’m gonna see where she’s at right now.

Trevor closes his eyes, and after a couple of seconds, he

opens them back.

TREVOR
Alright, good news is that she’s okay. She’s on a house.

ADAM
A house?

EVAN
Where’s this house?

CUT TO:

INT. HOUSE - BASEMENT. SAME.

CHLOE, now with her gunshot wound cured, and still with the
collar on her neck, wakes up and realizes that she’s tied to a
chair.

She tries to release. She even tries to use her powers, but
she can’t. She still has the collar on her neck.

She pants, scared, anxious, worried.

CHLOE
Hello? HELLO?! EVAN?! TREVOR?! ADAM?! Is there somebody in
here?!? Help!!

She begins to cry, defeated.

Then, someone enters the room. ROGER himself.

He approaches the scared CHLOE.

 ROGER
Well, well, well. At least you’re alive.

CHLOE
Where’s my friends? WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM?!

ROGER
Your friends? Oh yeah, I still need to answer that question
for myself.

CHLOE
WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO THEM?!

ROGER
Relax, they’re okay. You think you’re a normal girl and shit.
You’re just a fucking weapon to all of us.

CHLOE
I am not a weapon.

ROGER
Yeah, you are.

CHLOE
Get fucked and die.

ROGER chuckles and smiles maliciously.

ROGER
When you were little, you didn't say curse words. What
happened to you? You, the innocent, fragile, frail little girl
that I once knew?

CHLOE
SHE’S FUCKING GONE!

ROGER
No she isn’t. She isn’t.

CHLOE
Why am I here? Why are we not in the van?

ROGER
You want to get in the van to the lab right now?
 CHLOE
No, I was just asking why you brought me here.

ROGER
The road to the lab is way too fucking long. We’re just here
to wait for Franco and his guys to pick you up. How’s that
sound, heroine?

Then, the two hear some strong GUN FIRING sounds coming from
the house. The two gasp. ROGER takes out his gun and walks to
the door. Before he exits the room, he turns to Chloe.

ROGER
Stay right here, don’t go anywhere!

CHLOE
The fuck do you think I’m doing?

ROGER exits the room.

CHLOE, worried, also begins to hear sounds of flesh being torn

apart and fresh blood being splattered everywhere. This scares
Chloe.

After a couple of seconds, she hears footsteps approaching the

basement. She gets scared, but prepared.

Then, EVAN enters the basement. Chloe, surprised, smiles.

CHLOE
Evan?

EVAN
(smiles)
Chloe. Oh thank God you’re alive!

He runs at her. Evan then uses his powers to untie Chloe from
the chair. And unlocks the collar with the key that one of the
guards had.

After that, Chloe stands up.

EVAN
Trevor told me where you were--
CHLOE then hugs and embraces EVAN, who also embraces her.

EVAN
Are you okay?

CHLOE
I am now. Thanks for coming.

EVAN
No problem.

Then, ADAM and TREVOR enter the room. They both sigh in relief
as they see Chloe doing fine and alright.

TREVOR
Adam? Got something to say?

ADAM
I think we should get back to the fucking car before more
fucking guys like these start to show up.

The hug between Chloe and Evan breaks.

EVAN
Yep.

CHLOE
Good idea.

They all walk out of the scene.

CUT TO:

INT. ADAM’S CAR. DAY - LATER THAT DAY.

They’re all in silence. Adam drives thoughtful while the other

three are also thoughtful.

TREVOR
Hey Adam?

ADAM
Mhm?
 TREVOR
I know it’s, like, too much to ask, but...

ADAM
Tell me.

TREVOR
...where will we go now?

ADAM
What do you mean?

TREVOR
Where will we hide now? A motel won’t work. And plus, there's
the whole army of guards chasing us.

ADAM
I’ll think of something, alright? I’ll find another place
where we can settle in.

TREVOR
Good. Thank you.

ADAM
(sighs)
I mean, fuck. They’ve destroyed my vacation house. Right in
front of me. They destroyed my vacation house and now you’re
suggesting for me to find you a good place where you three can
settle in?

TREVOR
I was just asking.

ADAM
I'll think of something. Just give me some time, okay?

TREVOR
Give you TIME?? TIME??? Man, you had the whole fucking time of
the world to think.

EVAN
Trevor, just calm down, alright?

TREVOR
 Do not tell me to calm down, I mean, look at the state of
it!!! No house, or supplies, or anything because of you.

EVAN
This is not you--

TREVOR
(turns to evan)
And then there’s you. You, you, you, fucking you. If it wasn’t
for you, we wouldn’t be here on this shitty road trip trying
to find somewhere safe to stay. If it wasn’t for you, I would
still have a guardian. A family member. A friend. A relative.
Someone who can take care of me. And if it wasn’t for your
shitbag brother, we wouldn’t be here.

Beat. Evan gets stunned with what Trevor just said.

EVAN
What did you say about my brother?

TREVOR
Whatever.

EVAN
What was that?

TREVOR
Forget about it.

EVAN
No Trevor. What was that?

ADAM
Alright, you know what? That’s it. That’s fucking it.

He stops the car.

CUT TO:

INT. FOREST TRAIL. SAME.

The car stops. Adam furiously walks out of the car and opens
the door to Chloe, Evan and Trevor.

ADAM
 Get the fuck out of my motherfucking car right fucking now!

CHLOE
I promise we will stop!
(turns to the boys)
Right?

TREVOR
No, you know what? Let’s keep it that way.

Trevor gets out of the car. He walks off. Chloe walks out of
the car too, walking to Trevor.

CHLOE
Trevor! Fucking just come back already!
(turns to evan, who’s still on the car)
Evan for fuck sake, come help me!

EVAN
I don’t want to.

CHLOE
Why not?!

EVAN
He said some horrible things about my brother, alright? The
only family that I ever had.

CHLOE
It was just a joke, alright? Friends get to tell each other
some mean jokes.

EVAN
Yeah, but not mean jokes that involve dead family members.

CHLOE
Can you just get out of the car and just help me? We’re
supposed to do this together.

Evan sighs, stressed out.

EVAN
Goddamnit.

He gets out of the car and walks with Chloe to Trevor.

Then, they hear various doors closing. They stop and turn to
Adam who walks to the driver’s seat.

Evan runs to him. He tries to viciously and violently open the

driver's door.

EVAN
Adam. Adam! ADAM! Adam, please, I beg you, open this door
right now.

ADAM
(from inside the car)
For what?? There's nowhere to go, we're basically stranded, my
vacation house is now BURNED to the fucking ground and we're
actually FUCKED!!! So, I'm just going to drive away in this
car and just going to spend this worthless time on doing
nothing!! How’s that for a new plan?!

EVAN
OPEN THE GODDAMN DOOR!

ADAM
No, I won't. You guys fucked me, you fucked my vacation house,
and we're being chased. Why have I bothered on helping you???

EVAN
You can still help us. Please, Adam--

But Adam won’t listen, he just drives away. Evan runs after
him, yelling at him to stop.

Then, as Evan stops, he extends his hands and makes Adam’s car
stop.

As Evan uses all the power he has, he makes the car go in

reverse and go back to them.

Then, a part of Evan’s forehead starts to bleed slowly. Evan

grunts as he’s starting to get tired.

Then, Evan stops and falls to his knees. The car starts again
and drives off.

Evan looks at the ground, defeated.

Chloe runs to him.

CHLOE
Evan! Evan. Are you okay?

Evan touches his forehead and cleans the small bit of blood
from his forehead.

EVAN
Yeah, I’m fine. I’m okay now.

Chloe helps Evan to get up.

CHLOE
Come on, we have to go now.

EVAN
But where? We have nowhere to go now.

CHLOE
Let’s just go find Trevor and then we’ll see if we can find a
new place to go, alright?

EVAN
Alright.

They walk where Trevor walked.

CUT TO:

INT. CONNOR'S ROOM. NIGHT.

Connor has his phone with him. He is in his contacts section.

We see on his phone the words: EVAN. He wants to press on the
"CALL" button. But he's afraid that it will risk his life. He
calls him anyway. It beeps. The phone is answered.

INTERCUT WITH:

INT. FOREST. NIGHT.

While Chloe is sleeping, Evan answers Trevor’s call.

evan
 Hey.

Connor is surprised to hear that voice.

evan
Con? You there?

CONNOR
Hi.

evan
Hey.

CONNOR
Ho-How are you?

evan
So far so good, you?

CONNOR
I'm good, right here. Can't stop being interviewed to
shit.

evan
Have you told anything yet or...?

CONNOR
No, I haven't told anything about you, or your friends,
or where you're going. You and me are good, alright?

evan
Glad to hear that.

CONNOR
Dude, where are you?? I've been trying to reach you for
days. Are you ok?? What happened???

evan
I'm good. Alright. I'm ok. I'm fine. Are you alone? No
cops around you?

CONNOR
I'm on my room. I'm on my own right now.

evan
 Good.

CONNOR
I've heard about what happened. At the hospital. Your
brother....I'm so sorry, man.

evan
Yeah, I'm sorry too. Con, can i tell you something?

CONNOR
Sure. Yeah. Anything. What is it?

evan
I don't think I might come back.

CONNOR
Why?

evan
I'm being hunted by a group of fuckers. I don't know what
they want. I'm sure they want me. They want to take me
somewhere, i guess.

CONNOR
Well, is there anyway that you can come back??

Evan inhales and exhales.

evan
I don't know. Maybe. I'm working on it, but I promise
that I will try to come back.

CONNOR
Ok.

evan
It's just that.....I don't want to risk your life. I
don't want to put you in danger.

CONNOR
I know. The streets nowadays are filled with dangerous,
fucked up people like the bad guys you mentioned. Pretty much
my life has always been in danger when I'm living here. But
i'm glad about what you're telling me.
 evan
Alright.

CONNOR
Are you alright in there, buddy?

evan
Yeah, i'm fine. I promise, and I don't know when that
moment will come, but I promise to you that I will come back.
Ok??

CONNOR
Alright. Look, I guess I'll see you later, buddy.
Alright?

evan
Yeah. Alright buddy.

He hangs up.

Connor is left there, thoughtful.

END OF INTERCUT.

Evan is left there, thoughtful.

CUT TO:

INT. FOREST. MORNING.

Evan and Chloe walk in the forest. Then, they hear some trucks
approaching noises.

They stop and turn and see on the distance a bunch of TRUCKS
WITH GUARDS APPROACHING TO THEM.

EVAN
Oh no.

CHLOE
We have to go.

They both run off.

CUT TO:
INT. ADAM’S CAR. SAME.

Adam drives, thoughtful, back to the city, while being on the

road.

As he is checking the visor of the car, the photo of him with

his son falls to his legs. He looks at it.

He stops the car and looks at the photo. This fills him with a
growing sense of sadness.

Then, he hears some trucks approaching noises.

He turns and sees THREE TRUCKS FROM THE LAB quickly driving
the other way, to get the three youngsters.

Adam is stunned, he doesn’t know what to do. Then, he closes

his eyes and sighs.

He turns the car on and drives to the trucks’ direction.

CUT TO:

INT. FOREST. SAME.

There are plenty of armored GUARDS running to wherever Evan,

Chloe and Trevor are.

Evan and Chloe run off, trying to hide. But some guards manage
to find them.

GUARD
There they are!

GUARD #2
Catch them!

Evan and Chloe run for their lives. Chloe uses her powers and
sends some guards flying. The duo keeps running.

As they arrive at a CIRCLED FIELD, they realize that they’re

both surrounded by plenty of GUARDS.
Both gasp and look around, with GUARDS with their own guns
pointing them at the duo.

EVAN
I guess this is it.

Both hold hands. They breathe heavily.

CHLOE
If I die, at least I was happy for once.

GUARD WITH POINTING GUN

Let go of each other right now--!

Then, THE GUARD freezes. He starts to levitate in the air.

They all look at him, wondering.

Chloe and Evan aren’t using their own powers against that
guard.

Then, he EXPLODES! His beheaded head, blood, guts and

dismembered body parts fly everywhere!

Then, TREVOR appears. He manages to attack some guards with

his powers.

Evan and Chloe smile.

Some GUARD shoots him, but Trevor, by using his powers, makes
all bullets to float in front of him. Then, he turns the
bullets to the guards’ direction and as he extends his hands,
the bullets run to the guards’ faces, killing them.

The guards fall to the ground, dead.

Trevor walks to the duo.

CHLOE
It’s you.

TREVOR
It’s me.

He turns at Evan.
 TREVOR
I’ve been thinking about what I’ve just said, and uh, I wanted
to apologize.

EVAN
Me too. For putting the two of you into this shitty road trip.

TREVOR
That’s alright, at least it was an adventure.

Evan extends his hand.

EVAN
We’re cool now?

Trevor performs a handshake with Evan.

TREVOR
We’re cool.

More guards appear. The group turns to them.

CHLOE
Yep, apology accepted. Let’s get the fuck out of here.

TREVOR / EVAN
Alright.

They all run off. Chloe uses her powers to block some guards
from running to them.

Then, BANG! A GUARD shoots EVAN in the guts!

He falls to the ground, defeated and hurt.

Chloe and Trevor run to him.

GUARD
Leave him!

Both freeze as the same guard who shot Evan on the guts
approaches him, with some guards by his side.

GUARD
 This is your last chance. Give up and come with us now.

CHLOE
No! You want us? You’re gonna have to fucking kill us first!

TREVOR
Yeah! Eat shit!

THE GUARD grabs Evan by the hair and points his gun at his
face. Trevor and Chloe gasp.

FRANCO
Your choice. Either you come with us right now, or I shoot
him.

Trevor and Chloe can’t decide.

EVAN
(hurt)
Please, get out of here. I put you into this, I’m getting you
out of this. I’m sorry. Please, GO! Do what I say!

CHLOE
We can’t.

GUARD
(chuckles maliciously)
I knew you wouldn’t think of anything to do--

Then, SOMEONE SHOOTS AT THE GUARD ON THE FACE! He falls to the

ground, defeated and dead.

They all turn to see AN UNKNOWN GUARD shooting at the other

guards.

While the UNKNOWN guard is shooting at the other guards,

Trevor is healing Evan’s bullet wound.

As the unknown guard finishes, he turns to the group.

He takes his helmet off, and he is revealed: ADAM.

They all smile, surprised.

CHLOE
 Adam!

ADAM
Yeah, it’s me.

They all run to him and hug him. Adam hugs them back.

TREVOR
You came back for us.

ADAM
Yeah, I did.

CHLOE
What made you change your mind?

ADAM
I don’t know. I guess I love adventures and I love to share
them with people.

The hug breaks.

ADAM
Still, I have to apologize for leaving you in a forest trail.

EVAN
That’s alright. It’s all forgiven now.

ADAM
Let’s go home.

The four get out of the place.

ON THE GROUP:

They’re all running.

Then, SOME OTHER GUARDS circle them.

Adam prepares his gun.

ADAM
Get ready.
Adam shoots at various guards while the youngsters are
killing, beheading and exploding other guards.

More guards appear. The group keeps doing what they’re doing:
Adam is shooting, while the youngsters are using their powers
to kill the guards in brutal ways.

Then, FRANCO approaches and shoots ADAM IN THE LEG!

Adam yells as he falls to the ground.

Evan gasps as he sees Adam, hurt.

FRANCO approaches ADAM and he points a gun at his face.

FRANCO
My God I wish they could hire more guys like you where we
work.

He loads his gun.

FRANCO
Time to go to Hell, motherfu--

Then, FRANCO freezes. He then starts to slowly levitate.

FRANCO, who can barely move his head, turns to see THE GROUP,
who are using their powers to make the guard levitate.

ADAM watches this, hurt and surprised.

Then, FRANCO’S TWO ARMS ARE EXTRACTED! He screams in PAIN!

Then, HIS TWO LEGS ARE EXTRACTED!

FRANCO screams and cries of pain.

TREVOR
...No more...

CHLOE
...No more...

EVAN
...No more...
Then, THE THREE CLOSE THEIR EYES, and, BY USING THEIR MENTAL
POWERS, START TO RIP FRANCO IN HALF SLOWLY!

As he’s being ripped in half, FRANCO’S GUTS, ORGANS, HIS OWN

BEATING HEART AND A GIANT ABUNDANCE OF BLOOD FALL TO THE
GROUND! It is as shocking as it is satisfying.

Then, they finish. FRANCO is ripped in half. The two halves of

his body fall to the ground.

The three open their eyes.

Then, they hear Adam grunting in pain. They turn to him and
immediately get worried. They run to him.

They quickly lunge at him.

CHLOE
Adam?

ADAM
(hurt)
Hey.

TREVOR
Oh God, can you walk?

ADAM
No, I don’t think so.

EVAN
Chloe, Trevor. Stand back.

CHLOE / TREVOR
What?

EVAN
Do what I say, alright?

CHLOE
Alright.

They stand back. Evan then touches Adam’s bullet wound on his
leg. Evan then closes his eyes...
...and the bullet wound on Adam’s leg starts to disappear.
Adam’s grunting in pain soon starts to cease.

Then, as the bullet wound disappears...Adam stops grunting in

pain. He is now hurt anymore.

The three look at him.

EVAN
Can you feel any pain?

ADAM
No, I don’t think so.

EVAN
Let’s see if you can walk.

Evan helps Adam to stand up. Adam walks perfectly. The group
smiles.

ADAM is impressed that Evan cured his bullet wound.

ADAM
Let’s go. We have to get out of here.

TREVOR
Alright.

The group walks with Adam out of the forest.

CUT TO:

INT. ADAM’S CAR. DUSK.

ADAM is driving, Chloe and Evan are on the backseat and Trevor
is on the front seat.

They’re all in silence.

EVAN
So, what’s the plan now?

ADAM
What do you mean?
 EVAN
What are we gonna do now? Where are we gonna go?

Adam thinks about his answer.

ADAM
How about this? We’ll go to a motel, let’s stay there till the
morning, we’ll clean the blood from our faces, and then we’ll
go home.

EVAN
Home, alright.

Evan thinks.

EVAN
And where’s home?

ADAM
(sighs)
Honestly, I’ve got no damn idea. But we’ll figure it out on
our way, alright?

Evan smiles.

EVAN
Sounds good.
(to chloe)
Right?

CHLOE
Yeah, that sounds perfect.

The group smiles.

ON SOUNDTRACK / ON THE RADIO: “WE’LL LET YOU KNOW”, MORRISSEY.

Evan and Chloe decide to take a nap on the backseat. Trevor

looks forward like Adam. Looking front and not daring to look
back.

SMASH TO BLACK.
