Dylan and Eve have been taking care of Chris at a safe house for over a month after rescuing him from an encounter with Stayner and Lucius Tech in Vermont. Chris is just regaining consciousness. Eve warns that Stayner knows their location and is closing in. Dylan tells Chris the others are likely dead and fills him in on what happened. As Chris gets dressed, Eve senses Stayner is near. They prepare to evacuate, but Eve disappears, leaving Dylan and the weakened Chris to escape on their own.

2. INT. SAFE-HOUSE - DAY
Chris lies on a bed. He is hooked up to an IV drip. His face
begins to twitch. Dylan watches from the open doorway as
Chris begins to stir. Looking over Dylan’s shoulder is Eve.
EVE
It’s about time.
Dylan is watched by Eve as he moves toward Chris and stands
near the foot of the bed. Chris’ eyes gradually flutter open.
He raises his head and sees Dylan. He allows his head to flop
backward on to the pillow.
CHRIS
What do you want?
Dylan slowly approaches the side of the bed and kneels down,
causing Chris to lean slightly back. Dylan stares at Chris’
face
CHRIS (CONT’D)
If you’re going to hurt me, hurt
me.
Chris lets his head roll toward Dylan.
CHRIS (CONT’D)
If you’re going to talk, talk.
Dylan raises his hand, causing Chris to wince. Dylan grasps
the top of his mask and lowers it, exposing his eyes and
nose. When no blow comes, Chris opens his eyes and looks
toward Dylan. The two study each other silently for a moment
before Chris lets his head loll back on the pillow.
CHRIS (CONT’D)
Well shit... I’m almost not
surprised.
DYLAN
I find that hard to believe.
CHRIS
My brother always was turning up in
unexpected places.
Chris begins to shift his weight up against the headboard.
CHRIS (CONT’D)
Somehow, this makes sense.
DYLAN
It’s good to see you too.

3. Dylan straightens up and replaces his mask.
DYLAN (CONT’D)
Where do I start?
Chris points his chin toward Eve.
CHRIS
Who’s that
Eve huffs and walks away from the room.
DYLAN
That’s Eve.
CHRIS
She seems nice.
DYLAN
Nice enough. She helped me save
your life.
CHRIS
I don’t remember...
DYLAN
You were pretty banged up when we
found you. Luckily we were able to
get you patched up.
CHRIS
But the others... What about them.
Eve walks back in to the room holding a steaming bowl and a
spoon.
DYLAN
Eve-
Eve walks over to Chris and hands him the bowl and the spoon.
EVE
Drink this. We need to go faster
Dylan.
Chris has discarded the spoon and lifts the bowl to his lips.
EVE (CONT’D)
Blow on it!
Chris freezes in mid action and begins blowing on the soup.
EVE (CONT’D)
If they find us here-
2.

4. Dylan holds up a hand.
DYLAN
Fine. We don’t know what happened
to the others; but I don’t see how
they could have made it out.
Chris lets the bowl drop to his stomach.
CHRIS
Dead?
DYLAN
Likely.
CHRIS
Shit. Who-
DYLAN
Stayner. And Lucius Tech.
CHRIS
Lucius...
DYLAN
I was working with the U.S
Marshals. We were tracking Stayner
after his escape from a medical
facility when we picked up his bio-
sig in a small town in Vermont.
CHRIS
That’s when I found them in the
forest
DYLAN
And disrupted my operation rather
handily.
CHRIS
So what’s new?
DYLAN
Just like old times...
CHRIS
And what about you?
DYLAN
What about me?
CHRIS
Dylan, I thought you were dead.

5. DYLAN
It would seem I was only mostly
dead.
Eve has been concentrating on the floor and now walks toward
the two and holds up her hand.
EVE
Dylan. Someone’s coming. They know
where we are...
Her head snaps up.
EVE (CONT’D)
It’s Stayner.
The group are silent for a moment before Dylan turns to
Chris.
DYLAN
You’ve been under for a while. Try
to get up but take it slow.
Dylan turns and quickly exits the room. Chris finishes his
soup and slowly slides his legs over the bed. He heaves
himself to a standing position and totters momentarily but
does not lose his balance. He looks over at Eve who has been
regarding him, she nods toward a table.
EVE
Clothes are over there. Hurry.
Eve turns and leaves the room as Chris looks toward a desk
which is piled with clothing.
INT. KITCHEN - DAY
Dylan stands beside a window whole Eve stands in the corner
of the room with her face turned up. Dylan looks up as Chris
enters the kitchen with the aid or a cane.
CHRIS
Thanks for the stick.
DYLAN
We’ve be feeding you intravenously
for over a month now. It’s a good
thing you can even stand.
CHRIS
Strong stock.
Eve snorts.

6. CHRIS (CONT’D)
Something funny?
Eve does not respond.
DYLAN
Never mind. How do you feel?
Chris stretches, eliciting a series of winces and groans.
CHRIS
I won’t be running any marathons.
DYLAN
We might be able to find a car.
Eve snaps her head down and looks at Dylan.
EVE
He’s close.
Dylan pulls the curtain closed and strides toward the front
door where a pack sits against the wall. He is followed by
Eve. They stand together looking out the door’s window.
EVE (CONT’D)
It won’t be easy carrying him.
DYLAN
He can walk.
EVE
For how long.
DYLAN
We don’t have a choice.
EVE
No, you don’t.
Dylan looks over at Eve to find that she has vanished.
DYLAN
Super.
Chris hobbles in to the room
CHRIS
Where’s the pretty one?
DYLAN
I’ll explain later. We’re moving
out soldier.

7. CHRIS
Just like old times right?
Dylan peeks out the front door window once more.
DYLAN
Just like old times.
