INT. PROF’S HIDDEN LAB TUNNEL - NIGHT

Deserted except for Detective Tzume moving along it, pipes emit steam above him. The professor’s flashlight flickers off and on. He gently taps it against the wall as it stays on. Follows the tunnel into a remote makeshift operating room.


INT. PROF’S HIDDEN LAB - OP ROOM – NIGHT

The FLASHLIGHT BEAM pierces through the darkened room landing on walls of plastic. Detective moves across and pulls back the plastic curtain revealing a metal operating table with leather restraints. The detective slides his hand over the cold hard steel contraption, something taken out of a horror movie or used in a middle-aged torture chamber.

Operating instruments sit like an open museum display on the trolley cart next to the table. The detective picks up individual instruments sending chills down the spine of what they are possibly used for in the wrong hands.

A wave of the flashlight reveals stainless steel counters and lots of clear plastic folded and stacked neatly on the counters for later use.

The detective can’t resist and fiddles with the operating table. The leaf drops down and a spine tingling echo of grating steel reverberates through the tunnel. The flashlight flickers OFF.

The room dark and still. His eyes dart and strain to see.

A distant sound of a door SHUTS and the wheels of a shopping cart against the cement floor of the tunnel echo. The silhouette of detective Tzume hastily scrambles for safety.

A beam of light flashes at the end of the tunnel.

SOUND of shopping cart wheels steadily grows near. A homeless guy pushes a cart through the tunnel. Flashlight secured to the cart by duct tape. A blue cooler inside the cart. Another homeless person accompanies him.

Detective Tzume watches through brick holes in the cement wall. Dark shadowy figures prepare the area. A bright surgical light is turned on highlighting every facet of the makeshift torture chamber. The table is adjusted. A partial close up of the detective’s face peering through the small brick holes in the wall.

The detective’s eyes dart to a group of homeless wheeling in a bed with a young girl passed out followed by Tuck with skateboard. Tuck’s FACE stares around the room. He senses the watchful eye of the hidden Detective upon him.

The homeless lift and transfer her onto the steel operating table.

Professor Morteyz arrives for surgery.


INT. SHAWN’S HIDDEN LAB – OPERATING ROOM - NIGHT

A girl lies face up on the stainless steel bench. Unclothed. Covered by a sheet. Shawn slides a tray of operating utensils next to the bed. Playing with various one’s in sight of her.

Shawn is FACE to FACE with the female victim strapped down to the operating table. The girl’s face fills with fright as Shawn’s possessed eyes focus on her.

SHAWN
So what do we have here?
Let’s diagnose the condition together shall we. I provided you with a service, a service you could not find anywhere else. I invoiced you for parts and labour, and you decided you didn’t want to pay me my money. Do you think I do humanitarian work? Hmmm. I should cut out your uterus and let you keep the kidney.

FEMALE VICTIM
Please don’t hurt me

Shawn leans over her body and starts to kiss her. Pauses.

SHAWN
No, this is about business.

SHAWN
I want my kidney back.

FEMALE VICTIM
(begs)
I was going to pay you.
Please believe me.

SHAWN
Oh angel, I believe you.
SHAWN
It’s just I think I’ll have more fun taking it back.

FEMALE VICTIM
(screams)
Noooooooo. Please.

Shawn puts on gloves for surgery. A shadow passes in the doorway behind Shawn, caught by the female victim.

Shawn notices the eyes of the female victim focus on something behind him.

FEMALE VICTIM
(whispers)
Save me … save me.

Shawn quickly turns. A shadow moves from the doorway. Shawn’s stare remains on the open doorway.

SHAWN
Tyra? (pause) Tyra!



INT.SHAWN’S HIDDEN LAB – CHASE - NIGHT

Amanda slowly retreats into the darkness into a small dark room. Followed by Shawn’s silhouette slowly moving past the doorframe. Amanda’s face fills with fear, as she tries to hide in a game of cat and mouse.

Shawn hunts her within the darkness. She watches shadows against the wall pursue her. Amanda crouches and hides behind a wooden crate as Shawn slowly glides by. Amanda curls and presses up against the wall. Tyra catches a glimpse of shadow movement out of the corner of her eye and detours into the room.

Amanda peeks again. Tyra reaches around and covers her mouth with a white cloth wrapping her arms around Amanda’s neck in a sleeper hold and tightens till Amanda’s body goes limp in her arms.

TYRA
Nighty, night Princess.



INT. SHAWN’S HIDDEN LAB – SMALL BRICK ROOM – NIGHT (DELETED SCENE)

The limp body of Amanda slumps tied up to a chair in the center of the small brick room.

SHAWN
Followed me.

TYRA
I’ll deal with her later. It’ll be a pleasure to take care of her.



INT. SHAWN’S HIDDEN LAB – NIGHT

Shawn places a kidney wrapped in a plastic bag into the cooler and closes the lid. A cooler lies next to the female body on the table. Shawn lifts the cooler and starts to leave.

SHAWN
We’ll dump both of them when I get back.

TYRA
I’ll look after the other one.

SHAWN
The owner probably wants this back.
(pause) (smirks)
Till I need it again.

Shawn exits room.


INT. SHAWN’S HIDDEN LAB – SMALL BRICK ROOM - NIGHT

Tyra stares at the unconscious Amanda tied to a chair. Gagged. Tyra slowly approaches and gently slides her hand over Amanda’s FACE. Gently stroking her CHEEK till Amanda slowly comes through. Her eyes open and shoot from wall to wall.

TYRA
Hello sweet princess.

Amanda tries to move, quickly realizing her hands are fastened behind her. Amanda struggles but can’t free herself to no avail. Tyra is in total control as she faces Amanda, lifts her chin up and slides forward sitting straddled in Amanda’s lap. Tyra flashes a sadistic smile.

TYRA
What are the odds.

Amanda stares at Tyra as Tyra twirls the scalpel within view. Tyra stands up and backs off a step to slap Amanda across the face a couple times.

TYRA
Bitch.

She quickly circles and leans close to Amanda’s ear, cheek to cheek. Amanda’s face filled with fear.
TYRA
(whispers)
I’m going to cut you up so no one will want to look at you.

Tyra presses the side of the scalpel against Amanda’s beautiful face. Tyra laughs at putting such fear into Amanda.

KYLE (OS)
Looks like you found my mark!!!

Tyra turns and looks over her shoulder in surprise.

TYRA
What are you doing here?

Kyle enters the room and calmly circles Amanda tied to a chair, eyeing Tyra holding a scalpel to her.

KYLE
I don’t remember this being part of the plan Tyra.

TYRA
What happened to us? I don’t want to share you with sluts like this.

She quickly acknowledges Amanda with a glance.

KYLE
It’s either his side or mine.

TYRA
Who do you want? Her or me?

Shawn enters into the frame of the doorway. The only exit from the room.

SHAWN
Yes, Kyle, who do you want?

Kyle stare remains on Tyra.

KYLE
Let her go.



SHAWN
We can’t just let her walk off Kyle. You’re getting soft again.

Kyle acknowledges Shawn’s presence.

KYLE
She leaves with me. She won’t talk. I’ll make sure of it.

Shawn stalks Kyle. They circle Tyra and Amanda.

SHAWN
What’s in it for me Kyle?
I know what you are up to Kyle. Work with me Kyle, we could be a great team.

Kyle stares at Tyra.

KYLE
The girl comes with me.

Not breaking his stare at Tyra. Tyra stares at Amanda.

SHAWN
Give your word you’ll hook up with me on the next one and she’s yours.

Kyle stares at Tyra.

KYLE
One time.

They stop circling. Shawn nods to Tyra to back off.

TYRA
Looks like your new boyfriend saved your life for now.

Tyra steps back towards Shawn. Amanda in total fear.

SHAWN
Welcome to the other side Kyle. I’ll let you clean up my mess.

Shawn and Tyra exit. A wicked laugh fills the air as they exit. Kyle starts to unfasten the ropes bounding Amanda.
