this place any longer.
Sexaroid 2 is in the passenger seat with Sylvie driving.

Theres plenty of fresh blood
down there.
SYLVIE:
Alright, alright. You hear that,
Anrie? Dont give in.
Sirens fade in.
SEXAROID 1:
Shit. Security.
Black cars with flashing lights are in the distance
gaining on the Polaroids. Sexaroid 1 and 2 open the
windows and lean out holding grenade launchers.
They fire and the grenades travel a long distance.
They hit two of the pursuing cars. One is blown backwards
into the behind cars, and one blown into the roof and
lands on other cars beneath it.
There are still cars pursuing.

Sexaroid 1 and 2 gets back into the car and reload their
launchers.
Sylvie notices something on the car radar.
She looks to the windshield.
At the end of the tunnel are three bulky and intimidating
androids. Boomers. They wait for the car to reach them.
Sexaroids 1 and 2 lean out the car and fire grenades at
them, but these are smoke grenades, and the Boomers are
blinded.
SYLVIE:
No. They wont treat us like
machines. Not anymore.
The car drives into the smoke.

grenade.
Neither bullets nor grenade harm it much.
The Boomer analyzes them.
Sylvie hears a weak voice.
ANRIE:
Sylvie... Help me.
The Boomer fires at the other Sexaroids, destroying 1.
Sylvie drags Anrie up the stairs as the war happens behind
her.
As the rocket begins to prepare for launch, the shaking
causes debris from the structure to fall.
A metal shard falls and is about to hit Sylvie, but
Sexaroid 2 jumps in and pushes Sylvie and Anrie into the
ship, and the shard goes through Sexaroid 2 instead.
SYLVIE:
No.
SEXAROID 2:
Too late for me, I guess.

The sun roof of the car is cut open and Priss jumps inside
next to Naomi.
PRISS:
Im getting you out. Whats his
problem?
NAOMI:
Its the car. Its controlling
him.
Pause.
PRISS:
Probably shouldnt cut those
wires, then.
NAOMI:
Wait. No. You cant just leave
him.
PRISS:
Looks like hes binded with the
car. Look into his eyes. Is he
still your boyfriend?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 7.
Naomi looks into Gibsons eyes, which are now sparkling
blue. She realizes.
NAOMI:
Oh God. He just wanted revenge on
the bikers that hurt me. Gibson.
PRISS:
Youre human. You can heal. Hes
a machine now.
NAOMI:
I know.
Pause. Naomi cries.
PRISS:
Im sorry. Lets get out of here.
Prisss intercom sounds. Naomi closes Gibsons eyes.
SYLIA:
(OS)
Priss. Whats your status?
PRISS:
One survivor inside. Wheres the
others?
SYLIA:
(OS)
They have a head start. When
youre ready.
PRISS:
Roger. Lets go.
Priss grabs Naomi and carries her out of the hole in the
roof.
Naomi and Priss are on the roof. Nene and Linna in their
hard suits are ahead of them waiting, floating in the air.

Save the girl first.
Prisss boosters on her back power up ready. Linnas
scanners notice a gun power up on the roof of the car.
LINNA:
Priss. Left.
Priss sees the laser guns on the roof aiming at her and
pushes Naomi off the car roof just as the laser fires.
Priss lands first, and the crash busts her boosters, and
Naomi falls on top of her.
PRISS:
Shit. My boosters are goners.
Priss holds onto Naomi on top as they slide across the
road.
The super car fires a lengthy cable which latches onto
Prisss leg, dragging her and Naomi with it at super
speed.
The super car uses the same guns to fires lasers at Nene
and Linna, and they dodge them whilst making their way to
Priss and Naomi.
Priss and Naomi are about to be dragged into an out of
control car between them and the super car. Priss punches
a another car they pass by, making them slide to the left
and miss the blocking car.
The super car passes Nene and Linna, and they throw bombs
into the roof opening, making the inside blow up which
stops the laser gun.
Priss and Naomi slide towards the floating Knight Sabers.
NENE:
Go long.
Priss launches Naomi into the air and Nene catches her.
PRISS:
Cut the cable, damn it.
Linna uses her ribbon cutters to cut the dragging cable.
But Linna misses grabbing Priss.
LINNA:
Damn it. Too fast. Sylia,
civilian acquired. Erm. Priss on
the other hand...
9.
26 INT. BRIDGE ROAD 2 - NIGHT.
Priss continues to slide across the ground behind the
super car. They are fast approaching the barrier vehicle.
PRISS:
Oh shit. Two birds with one tank.
Out of the sewer grate in the road ahead of Priss enters
Sylia in her hard suit.
Leon and the others take cover behind the police cars. He
sees Priss and Sylia behind the car through binoculars.
Sylia builds speed. Priss passes her and Sylia grabs
Priss. The two use the forward momentum of the sliding,
and upward momentum of Sylias boosters, and rise into the
air.
The super car hits the barrier tank and the car explodes
in fire and electricity.
Priss and Sylia fly through the explosion and just over
the tank at high speed.
Sylias boosters are affected by the electricty and they
stop working.
SYLIA:
Im out. Brace yourself.
Priss and Sylia land on the road and are once again
sliding quickly. They are heading towards a turn.
PRISS:
Its route 33. This suits not
made for swimming, Sylia.
SYLIA:
I know that, Priss. Calm down.
Everythings going to be a okay.
Sylia grabs the remaining cable attached to Prisss foot,
and separates from Priss.
They slide either side of an abandoned truck and the cable
digs into it. The truck is now being dragged along behind
them which slightly slows them down.
They reach the turn and go through the concrete barrier.
The two start falling towards the lake below.
10.
27 EXT. BRIDGE ROAD ABOVE THE LAKE - NIGHT.
The truck abruptly stops against the concrete barrier,
along with the cable.
Priss falls first towards the water below.
Sylia holds onto the other side of the cable and goes up
while Priss goes down.
Sylia reaches the bridge and stops herself from moving
using the bridge, stopping the cable from moving.
The other side of the cable tugs at Prisss foot, and she
is stopped half an inch from her head going underwater (as
she is upside down).
Long pause.
SYLIA:
Everything okay, down there?
PRISS:
I just nearly died, so yeah,
everythings peachy. Just peachy.
SYLIA:
Good to know.
PRISS:
Huh?

pointed at them.

NENE:
Its a minute.
LEON:
Stack up the minutes and we get
an hour.
NENE:
I can manage my time, thanks.
LEON:
Hey, I just dont want you to get
fired. Nice young people like you
usually take years to find a job.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 12.
NENE:
Not me. Im no trouble. Im not
in trouble.
LEON:

Officer Romanov, Id like you to
meet my niece, Lisa. She wants to
do a little photojournalism, and
I have allowed her to shadow you
for a while. Just in case some
action found its way to you.
Lisa, Nene is one of our youngest
officers. When she proved her
strengths in handling advanced
technology and data
interpretation, she was
irresistible to us. You two
smarts will get along just fine.
Right, Officer Romanov?
NENE:
(Saluting)
Yes, sir. Your niece is safe with
me.
They exchange looks.

Im finally ready to progress to
a senior position, then Ill find
someone. But for now, youre my
partner okay?
LISA:
Okay.
NENE:
Dont expect much in the way of
gangsters and crooks. We at the
AD Police deal with Boomer crime.
LISA:
Thats good enough for me. My
duty now, as a photographer, is
to expose the Knight Sabers true
identities.
Nene slightly loses control of the car for a second.
NENE:
Oh really.
LISA:
Thats right. A band of armoured
mercenaries who oppose Gemon, and
destroy helpless girls cameras.
Those jerks messed with the wrong
kid.
NENE:
What were you doing photographing
them in the first place?
LISA:
I just wanted to see if there
were humans inside. And since
they were so anxious to hide
whats behind those helmets, I
think I have an angle here. I
will avenge the death of the
camera my dad got me.
Pause.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 14.
NENE:
Great.

NENE:
(OS)
Back in a jiffy.
Nene exist the car, gets a barrier outside the trunk, and
places it on the motorway. She gets out a lit baton and
waves it.
The speeding motorcyclist reaches the sign and stops.
NENE:
Going way over the speed limit,
huh? Lets see your license.
The rider takes off her helmet to reveal herself as Priss.
PRISS:
What are you doing? Go find an
actual boomer breaking the law.
Thats your department, right?
Priss takes out her licence and taps it on Nenes cheek.
Nene snatches the licence.
NENE:
How dare you speak to an officer
of the law like that. Thats one
extra point for disturbing the
peace.
PRISS:
What? You cant give me a ticket.
NENE:
Oh yeah? Watch and weep.
Nene gets out her ticket machine, inserts Prisss licence,
and prints the ticket.

me you lost your license again.
PRISS:
Its not that. I just dont feel
like riding today, thats all.
Fancied a little change in pace.
SYLIA:
So you got a ticket. Dry those
tears.
Sylia sits down beside Priss.
PRISS:
I know I said I wanted to take a
break from what we do, but I
think Im okay to do another job.
SYLIA:
Still cant let go of your Boomer
hatred?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 16.
PRISS:
Its not that. Well, maybe a
little. But mostly this time Im
doing it for the money only. The
camera I destroyed last night
needs replacing with something
better. Something from me. I
dont have much money left after
spending so hard to get the band
off the ground. I didnt fancy
the alternatives. My lifes not
worth much, but its the only one
I have. Ive got to do the right
thing.
SYLIA:
Im seeing Fargo tonight. If you
promise to keep that temper of
yours down until tomorrow, Ill
let you tag along?

Youre not feeling it today? I
wouldnt have minded if you took
some time out this round.
IRENE:
I needed something to do. Theres
no one else home. Hes been gone
for so long, Ive nearly given up
hope.
LINNA:
Leave it to the police, Irene.
Theyll find him.
IRENE:
How can they? It was Genom. They
took him away from me. Some
employee of the year award they
give.
Pause.
17.

Priss, Sylia, The Colonel and Fargo walk along the
corridor past other employees.
THE COLONEL:
We greatly appreciate your
interest in this operation. As
you can imagine, this issue is
very sensitive and we cant call
on anyone linked to the
Government.
SYLIA:
Avoiding the Government, huh?
This must be bad.
FARGO:
Bad is a relative term.
42 INT. BRIEFING ROOM. MILITARY BASE - DAY.
Photos of a very young girl, Cindy, is shown on the
projector screen. The four, along with two researchers,
observe.
RESEARCHER 1:
Her codename is Cindy. Shes an
experiment. The longer shes not
contained, the more at risk the
people around her become.
SYLIA:
Sounds like a weapon.
RESEARCHER 1:
Shes a subconscious time bomb.
If you ask her to draw any place
she could draw it whether shes
been there or not.
PRISS:
Wait, you mean that companion
boomer is linked to the... Holy
shit. Death from above isnt the
way I plan to go.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 18.
RESEARCHER 2:
Whats in her AI was stolen from
us then forced into her as a
safe. It wasnt designed to be
transferable, but someone found a
way to do it. Hence there is a
risk of a second transfer.
PRISS:
Oh God damn it. You have to turn
off that satellite.
FARGO:
One minute of darkness times all
the potential crimes that could
happen as a result? Sounds like
bad odds to me.
SYLIA:
So? Darkness leads to light.
Change the algorithm. Make a new
control source ready for a
restart.
RESEARCHER 1:
We need Cindys stolen AI as a
template. Or else a remake would
take a year at least.
THE COLONEL:
Were a whole new level of
sitting ducks, here. But you can
change that, right? Youre the
only ones that really can.
PRISS:
Oh stop it. Youre making me feel
special.
FARGO:
Its fifty million up front.
Seventy million when the job is
done. No contracts. Break our
thumbs if we back out. The usual
stuff.
Priss looks to Sylia, who looks at the photo of Cindy.
43 EXT. STREET - DAY.
Priss and Sylia, still in their hard suits, walk down a
street towards a bridge.
PRISS:
Damn it all. Its as if privacy
has a private meaning.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 19.
SYLIA:
We need that technology for our
protection, Priss. Just like what
we use. Seems like the only thing
its really useful for.
PRISS:
Boomers replacing and killing
humans isnt my idea of useful.

instinct.

Those kind of boomers are no

NENE:
Yeah.
She enters the elevator.
71 INT. ELEVATOR. AD POLICE HEADQUARTERS - DAY.
Nene is very out of breath.
NENE:
I noticed the elevator was rising
from the lower levels. You were
in the intel room?
LEON:
Its a bad sit. A 33-S boomer
with a potential partner is
lurking around.
NENE:
A 33-S, huh? I hear theyre
designed to feed on human blood
to maintain their organic and
sexual performance. Like
vampires, but the cybernetic sex
slave type.
Pause. The elevator stops and the doors open.
LEON:
Its female. Watch out, okay?
NENE:
Okay.
Leon exits.
Nene is about to press the Basement button.
LISA:
Morning, Nene.
Lisa enters.
NENE:
Oh. Good morning, Lisa.
LISA:
Going up?
NENE:
Uh. Yeah.
LISA:
But to get to your office, you
need to go down.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 26.
A beat.
NENE:
Huh? Oh yeah. I knew that. I was
just testing you.
LISA:
Obviously.
Lisa presses the button.
NENE:
You really are a photo
journalist, huh. Big eyes for
small details.
LISA:
Thats right. By this time next
week, those Knight Sabers will
have to wear clear helmets as
there will no longer be a point
to hiding what everyone already
knows. Vengeance will be mine.
Pause.
NENE:
How exactly is exposing them
going to change anything?
LISA:
Because after I see them, I can
find them, and I can demand a new
camera from the right people.
NENE:
So you dont care if their
careers as anonymous mercenaries
are ruined?
LISA:
Not really. They do what you do.
Youre a public servant, but
youre pretty anonymous. Youre
not wearing a mask. Are you?
NENE:
What? No. I am not wearing a
mask.
LISA:
And youre not dead.
NENE:
Not the last time I checked.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 27.
LISA:
So whats the problem?
Pause.
NENE:
Theyre dangerous, Lisa. Not one
scratch is allowed to appear on
you, okay?
Another pause.
Lisa presses a button.
The elevator stops and the doors open.
LISA:
Sorry. I didnt know you were
such a fan.
NENE:
Im not a fan.
Lisa exits. The elevator doors close.
Pause.

Leon walks towards a door and passes by scientist.
SCIENTIST:
You dont have uniform. Ill bet
you dont have a search warrant
either.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 31.
LEON:
AD Police. You have nothing to
hide, right?
Leon walks to a door.
The Scientist presses a button which securely closes the
door in front of Leon, stopping him.
SCIENTIST:
Not hiding anything at all.
LEON:
A young couple died earlier this
week. Drained of blood by a rogue
Sexaroid. Genom used to make
them, so I guess behind that door
could be answers.
SCIENTIST:
Could be.
Pause.
LEON:
You want me to get permission? By
the time I do that, the Sexaroid
will have enough blood for more
than a few months, and Ill have
no more attacks to chase.
SCIENTIST:
So next time, you get your timing
right. Right?
Pause.
SCIENTIST:
Apply today. You know how long it
takes to get for a police officer
to get a tour pass here.
LEON:
No hiding anything, huh?
SCIENTIST:
Not hiding anything at all.
Madigan approaches them.
MADIGAN:
I dont recognise your face.
SCIENTIST:
Ah, Miss Madigan. I was just
telling our good police officer
friend that he should mind some
other companys business.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 32.
LEON:
Im in charge of the rogue
Sexaroid case.
MADIGAN:
Fascinating. Now piss off. We
dont make Sex dolls anymore.
Theres some demands even we
cant keep up with. Unless you
want Genom to cut even more
funding from the AD Police?
Madigan and the Scientist walk away.
92 EXT. ENTRANCE. GENOM CORPORATION - DAY.
Leon exits the building.
He walks to the car where Daley waits.
LEON:
I cant believe Madigan still
hasnt changed.
DALEY:

a descendant of Cheetahs.
He gets in and the car drives away.
Linna stands outside the Tower and looks up at it
silently.
93 INT. CAFE - DAY.
A waitress Boomer stands in front of Leon and Daley at
their table.
WAITRESS:
Would you like some more coffee,
Sir?
Leon pushes his mug closer to her.
She pours coffee into the mug and it slightly over spills.
WAITRESS:
Youre welcome, Sir.
She wanders away. Leon looks into his reflection from the
over spilled coffee.
LEON:
They look like humans, but they
dont have any more brains than
an orangutan.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 33.
DALEY:
Its the labor shortage. People
just had enough of minimum wage
toil. Theres cheap replacement
boomers every where, now.
LEON:
So that does it, then. Therell
eventually be nothing but boomers
in Megatokyo. Ive noticed that
every crime in this city is
connected to them. The bank
attack last night, for instance.
DALEY:
Im trying to put that case under
the rug for a while. Id be way
less mad about it if the
attackers actually stole some
money.
LEON:
Damn massacre. We were meant to
fight advanced crime, not
advanced cybernetics.
Pause.
DALEY:
Those attackers. They werent the
Knight Sabers, were they?
LEON:
Feminine instinct kicking in once
again?
DALEY:
Kind of. The impostors had no
more brains than an orangutan.
94 EXT. APARTMENT SITE - DAY.
There are many very old apartments within the site. A
crowd of people stand outside, some in robes.
Demolition vehicles are present.

woman, Hannah.
PRISS:
Hannah.
(CONTINUED)

HANNAH:
Priss. They threw us all out.
Were going to get evicted. You
have to do something. Please.
Pause.
Priss moves towards Mason. Someone is unconscious at their
feet.
She attempts to punch Mason but his bodyguard stops her
fist in his hand.
PRISS:
Come get some, you bastard.
She punches the bodyguard but this hurts her fist.
PRISS:
Shit.
The bodyguard grabs her by the throat and lifts her from
the ground.
The crowd looks on, helpless.
MASON:
Genom now owns this land, and I
never liked trespassers.
Priss is in pain from being strangled.
HANNAH:
Priss...
A pistol fires into the air. Leon approaches, cocks the
gun and points it at the bodyguards throat.
LEON:
I wonder if this model can work
without a head.
MASON:
Self defense isnt evil,
Inspector.
LEON:
No...
He pushes the gun into the Bodyguards neck more.
LEON:
(cont.)
No it aint.
The Bodyguard looks to Mason, and Mason nods his head
slightly.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 35.
The Bodyguard lets go and Priss drops to the ground.
She coughs violently.
LEON:
Should have warned them about the
purchase. I only found out about
it this morning. They need
shelter unlike your Boomers.
MASON:
The needs of Genom come first in
everything.
Mason and his guards leave.
LEON:
Great job, Mr Mason. Great
fucking job.
He sees Priss recovering on the ground. He puts out his
hand to help her.
LEON:
I could use a drink. And you
could too, by the sound of
things.
Priss gets up without his help.
Priss goes through the crowd to Hannah and her son Sho.
PRISS:
You have relatives, right? You
and Sho find them and call me
when you do. I have money to help
you, all right?
Hannah breaks down in tears and Priss embraces her.
Leon looks on.
95 INT. LEONS CAR - DUSK.
Leon drives Priss.
Priss has her feet on the dashboard.
Silence.
LEON:
Ill let you keep the feet on the
dashboard if you tell me your
name.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 36.
PRISS:
Priss.
LEON:
I thought you were. Ive been to
a couple of your concerts. Youre
talented.
Long pause.
PRISS:
Thankfully. You cant replace
talent with technology. We were
going to call ourselves The
Expression, but instead settled
with, unfortunately, The
Replicants.
LEON:
You hate Boomers, dont you?
PRISS:
Every single one. Fucking
boyfriend killers.
Pause.
LEON:
Jesus. When did it happen? If you
dont mind me asking.
PRISS:
Few years ago. The Boomer that
did it is probably in a garbage
incinerator right now. Or not.
Who knows.
Another pause.
LEON:
You cant get rid of your pain by
hating or even destroying
Boomers. You know that by now,
dont you? Just thought Id
remind you because I meet people
like you all the time, and
honestly, Im sick of seeing them
forever lonely and bitter.
PRISS:
Especially when they could be
friendly and sweet, right? Nene
told me about you. Do you really
have the brains of a woodpecker?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 37.
LEON:
She mentioned that, huh? Feet off
the dashboard, Priss.
PRISS:
Whatever, Leon poo. Youre the
brother Nene never had.
LEON:
Ah damn it.
Priss smiles at Leon, and she puts her feet down.

A mechanics garage in the suburbs.
Mackie, a young mechanic inside the garage working on
Prisss motorcycle, sees Leons car arrive outside.
Priss and Leon exit the car.
LEON:
Listen, Priss. I wont flirt with
you anymore if you dont want me
to.
PRISS:
This is Megatokyo, Leon. Ill
find someone. Youll find
someone. Thanks for the ride.
Priss walks into the garage.
PRISS:
Hi Mackie. Hope the bikes doing
as well as you are.
MACKIE:
Were both fine, thanks. I tuned
it up real good.
PRISS:
Good to know. Youre way faster
than those Boomer mechanics.
MACKIE:
Im glad you noticed.
Leon gets into his car and drives away.

Linna is facing a floating pink opaque Diamond with silver
patches.
There is a window in the wall which shows the control
room, and Sylia is behind it.
SYLIA:
(via intercom)
Level eight now. Make a mark.
The Diamond moves towards Linna and thick lasers fire out
of the silver patches.
Linna moves quickly towards the Diamond, dodging the
attacks with elaborate moves whilst moving towards it.
She reaches it and punches the core, making the Diamond
freeze.
SYLIA:
(via intercom)
Good job, Linna. Looks like
youre ready for your upgraded
suit.
98 INT. CONTROL ROOM. WAR BOOTH - NIGHT.
Priss enters the control room. She notices one of the
screens.
PRISS:
Level eight already? Damn. I need
to catch up pronto.
SYLIA:
Youre only one level behind. I
saw your entry on the security
cameras. Already found a man,
huh?
PRISS:
What? You spend too much time in
that lingerie shop.
SYLIA:
Youre up, Nene.
Nene is trying to sneak out quietly, but she stops.
NENE:
Oh do I have to?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 39.
PRISS:
Hell yeah you do. Im surprised
you even fit in your suit after
all that junk you eat and the
sitting down you do.
NENE:
Hey, I fight just as hard as you
do.
SYLIA:
Prove it.
Pause. Nene sighs.
NENE:
Okay.
99 INT. MECHANICS GARAGE - NIGHT.
Mackie continues to work on the motorcycle.

behind her head.
She then walks across again, but this time the other way.
100 INT. TRAINING ROOM. WAR BOOTH - NIGHT
Inside the training room, the Diamonds laser hits Nenes
head and she freezes in awkwardness.
The buzzer sounds.
Priss behind the glass laughs.
SYLIA:
Elimination.
101 INT. CONTROL ROOM. WAR BOOTH - NIGHT.
Nene enters the control room.
PRISS:
Too many sweets. Youre on a
diet, right?
NENE:
Best diet there is.
Pause.
Mackies image projects onto one of the screens.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 40.
MACKIE:
Sis, theres a strange girl
wandering around outside. What do
I do?
SYLIA:
Show me the camera feed.
MACKIE:
Right.
The screen changes to a security camera showing Lisa
casually walk down an alley.
NENE:
Huh?
PRISS:
Its her from the other night.
SYLIA:
I guess it wouldnt change
anything if I paid for a new
camera, huh Priss?
NENE:
You know Lisa, Sylia?
SYLIA:
Priss wants to buy her a new
camera after we find Cindy. With
these new suits, hopefully.
NENE:
Well well well. Punk rocker Priss
has a soft side.
PRISS:
You can talk, chubby.
Priss pinches Nenes belly fat.
NENE:
Hey thats mine. Man, Im glad
Im not an ape woman like you.
SYLIA:
She didnt follow me and Linna.
Priss was inside a tinted police
car. She must have followed you,
Nene.
NENE:
What? Oh, theres nothing to
worry about. She wants to expose
the Knight Sabers true
identities, but she hasnt got an

(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 41.
NENE: (contd)
ounce of evidence that Im one of
them.
SYLIA:
But you aroused her suspicion, no
doubt.
NENE:
Me? Suspicious? I am no such
thing. Shes curious, but lost.
Itll be fine.
PRISS:
I hope so. Megatokyo is the last
place Id want to be famous.
SYLIA:
Its not really her we should be
worried about. Its what that new
camera around her neck records.
Nene pauses.
Lisa walks down the alley beside the mechanics garage.
As she nears the corner, she sees her bike get pushed into
the back alley from around the corner.
LISA:
Mine?
Lisa runs to it and sees that the bike is hers. No one is
around the corner leading into the back alley that could
have pushed it.
On the other side of the alley on the road, a van goes
past.
LISA:
What? Oh no.
Lisa runs to the other end of the alley next to the
Mechanics entrance.

104 INT. VAN - NIGHT.
Linna drives the car containg Priss, Nene, and Sylia - who
is in the passenger seat - through the suburbs. Priss and
Nene are asleep.
Silence.
LINNA:
What do we do about the
imposters? Those bastards are
very unwelcome.
SYLIA:
Focus on the mission. We cant be
seen anywhere near them for the
time being. Even if the military
believed the imposters were
actually us, why would they be
concerned with people that dont
technically work for them. For
now.
Sylia notices Linnas anger.
LINNA:
Nene. Nene. Hows the search for
Cindy going?
Nene is half awake now.
NENE:
Still searching. But Ill find
where she is. And when I do,
well be ready, right? We can get
her, and get paid, and buy a new
camera.

whom, wearing a coat, leaves.
Lisa is sat opposite on her phone waiting.
NENE:
Yes.
Nene has finished. She punches the air which takes a few
papers into the air too.
LISA:
Just in time. I have so much room
for that dinner you promised.
NENE:
Im hungry, too. If you go grab
your coat, Ill be with you in a
minute, okay?
LISA:
Cant wait.
Lisa exits.
Pause.
Nenes smile dissapears.
Nene looks a to a police report paper still on her desk.

The rider is Sylvie.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 45.
SYLVIE:
Evening, Priss.
PRISS:
Sylvie. Hi. Came to enjoy the
view, too?
SYLVIE:
Good guess. Its beautiful at
this time.
PRISS:
It beats the smog. If there were
rock fans out here, Id abandon
city and never go back.
SYLVIE:
Id like to watch one of your
concerts sometime. Anries
getting better every day, so I
dont have to look after her
every night.
PRISS:
Tomorrow night. You never told me
whats wrong with her. Ill
understand if you dont want to
talk about it.
SYLVIE:
Its okay. I want to talk, Priss.
I trust you. Honestly, its her
body. She cant naturally heal,
so she needs certain things to
help her. Ill tell you what
those things are when Im ready.
PRISS:
I have some spare cash.
SYLVIE:
I have all I need. But thank you.
Pause.
Sylvie takes out her wallet, opens it, and shows Priss the
photo of Anrie, with Sylvie, inside.
SYLVIE:
Youre now the only other one in
the city that knows about her.
PRISS:
She looks happy.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 46.
SYLVIE:
One day, well be even happier.
My only wish is that we finally
become truly free. Were just
tired of feeling trapped.
PRISS:
Is that what youll seek when she
recovers completely? Freedom?
SYLVIE:
Damn right. I dont know where it
is, but its there and Ill find
it someday.
They both look to the sunset.
118 EXT. ROOFTOP OVERLOOKING BAR - NIGHT.
Sylia, Nene and Linna stand on the dark rooftop in their
hard suits looking over a seedy bar on the other side of
the road.
Priss in her hard suit flies up and lands behind them.
PRISS:
Shes in there?
NENE:
The witness report mentioned a
little girl some thugs kept
calling Cindy. It was dated only
last night.
SYLIA:
Fridays the busiest time of the
week. She has to be in there.
Linna notices the factory behind the bar, overlooking the
bay.
119 EXT. BACK EXIT. BAR - NIGHT.
The three female Boomers that killed Irene exit and walk
towards the factory.
The factory overlooks the harbour.
120 INT. FACTORY - NIGHT.
There is a large wall covered in what looks like graffiti.
Drawing on the large wall is a small girl, Cindy.
Priss sneaks up behind her quietly.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 47.
She stands behind Cindy and notices that she drew a
satellite view of the profanity Priss drew much earlier.
PRISS:
This is why I dont want kids.
Cindy turns around.
PRISS:
Im getting you out of here.
Suddenly Priss is tackled by a Female Boomer, is sent into
a wall, then crashes onto the floor.
Pause.
The attacking Female Boomer 1 looks to the ground where
there is a device near her foot.
It explodes, blowing her up.
The explosion knocks Cindy into the graffiti wall.
A fiery pile remains.
Priss recovers steadily.
PRISS:
Think Im deaf? Im a musician,
bitch. Cindy, are you okay?
Cindy is fully conscious on the floor.
THUG:
She was fine until you arrived.
The Thug steps out of the darkness, followed by the three
remaining Female Boomers.
Priss gets up.
PRISS:
No power for you.
THUG:
Oh Im so intimidated.
The other Knight Sabers land from the roof with Priss.
THUG:
Nope. Still nothing. Either fear
wasnt built into me, or you
should have made your suits even
uglier.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 48.
SYLIA:
We just want Cindy. So back off,
pimp.
THUG:
What did you just call me?
SYLIA:
Im sorry. Im out of line.
Priss aims her hand at the Thug.
PRISS:
Fuck that. Jump in the river and
sleep with the fishes, you
fucking Boomer.
The Thug, mouth open, is appalled by the words. Pause.
THUG:
Kill em.
Priss fires a needle from her hand at the Thug. A Female
Boomer knocks it away with her long electrically charged
finger nails.
Linna notices the claws and links it to the five holes she
saw in Irenes door.
PRISS:
Uh oh.
SYLIA:
Showtime.
The Female Boomers launch themselves as the Knight Sabers.
Nene and Sylia launch themselves and fight one boomer
each.
The third boomer attackes Linna who stands stil. Linna

boomers arm.
Priss goes for the Thug.
She tries to shoot him with her gun blasters but he dodges
all the shots.
PRISS:
Shit.
When Priss reaches the Thug, she tries to hit him with her
knuckle blasters but he blocks and dodges them.
Priss punches a wall in the process which makes it explode
violently, showing the power of her blasters.
(CONTINUED)

The Thug kicks her to create distance between them. Priss
slides across the ground and rolls. She is now crouched
facing the Thug.
The Thug shakes. He mutates reveal the monstrous Boomer
exterior underneath.
PRISS:
No grave for you.
Priss launches herself at the boomer Thug again.
Sylia chases Female Boomer 2 into the catwalks near the
roof and they continue to fight. Nene and Female Boomer 3
are fighting nearby, in the catwalks also.
Sylia attacks Female Boomer 2 head on with limited
success.
Nene avoids Female Boomer 3 mostly.
Nene is struck down by her opponent, but her opponent is
then struck with a laser blast from Sylia.
SYLIA:
Hack them, Nene.
NENE:
Im trying.
Nene aims her arm blaster at Sylia, then shoots Female
Boomer 2 who is behind Sylia which stops the attack. Sylia
kicks Female Boomer 2 but it retaliates.
Linna fights Female Boomer 3 and fares better, getting
successful hits.
Priss finally hits the Thug and his chest is brutally
damaged. He leans against the wall. He absorbs the wall
and the damage in his chest is replaces by the absobed
material.
PRISS:
What the?
Priss tries to shoot the Thug but parts of wall he is
attached to launches like vines which blocks the needles,
and launches at Priss. She dodges and retreats.
As the Thug absorbes the wall, he grows.
Linna cuts up her opponent Boomer into two halves. Then,
she shoots it in the head, which ultimately kills it.
Pause.
Nene is getting beaten around by her opponent.

CONTINUED: 50.
Nene is thrown down into the catwalk railings, where she
can see through them, and Linna is below her on ground
level.
NENE:
Linna. Little help?
Linna flies up, goes through the catwalk, and tackles
Female Boomer 3. Linna drags the Boomer upwards. The
Boomer still has Nenes foot in her grasp, and Nene is
taken up with them, albiet upside down.
121 EXT. ROOF. FACTORY - NIGHT.
Linna, FB 3 and Nene smash through the roof. FB 3 and
Linna land on their feet, and Nene lands on her side.
FB 3 and Linna fight, but FB 3 manages to throw Linna
across the roof.
FB 3 goes for Nene. Nene gets up, and defends herself for
a very short while.
FB 3 kicks Nene in the head which destroys her helmet
screen, knocking her to the ground again.
Sylia smashes through the roof near them using FB 2 as a
shield.
Sylia tries to push FB 2 into FB 3 in the process, but FB
3 dodges and grabs FB 2, making Sylia let go of FB 2 in
the swing.
Sylia slides across the roof from the momentum solo.
Linna races towards FB 2 and 3, jumping over the sliding
Sylia on the way.
Linna reaches the Boomers and dropkicks FB 2, sending FB 2
on the roof.
FB 3 attempts to claw Linna while her back is turned, but
her wrist is caught by Priss.
Priss headbutts FB 3, and it fights back.
Linna is attacked by a recovered FB 2.
Sylia stops sliding and sees Priss and Linna fight the 2
Boomers - the Boomers are copying the Knight Sabers fight
moves and style.
She also sees Nene lying on the roof.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 51.
SYLIA:
Nene. Get up. Youve got to hack
them. Theyve learned our style,
so fighting wont work now. Nene.
Nene hears her. She tries hard to get up.
NENE:
I hear you. Damn it. Come on.
Nene finally gets up.
Her hands begin to become electrified.
NENE:
Ready.
PRISS AND LINNA:
Now.
Priss and Linna grab their opponents heads and force them
towards Nene.
Nene shoves her hands foward, and the FBs heads go into
one hand each.
An electric current goes from Nenes suit into the FBs
heads and they get electrocuted from the inside.
Everyone freezes as the electrocution happens, creating
sparks from the FBs.
The FBs finally shut down, and they drop down dead.
Pause.
The roof begins to shake.
PRISS:
Oh yeah. I think we have a
problem downstairs.
Sylia looks behind her to see the roof from the edge begin
to be taken into the building.
SYLIA:
Up.
The Knight Sabers fly into the air.
122 INT. FACTORY - NIGHT.
The Thug continues to absorb the factory and grow, more
and more rapidly.
Cindy is outside the factory, watching.
52.
123 EXT. FACTORY - NIGHT.
The Knight Sabers fly into the sky, and they watch the
factory subsume into itself.
A monstrous cybernetic head atop a mountain of metal rises
from the centre of the factory subsumption.
NENE:
What is that thing?
SYLIA:
Unfriendly. Take it down.
PRISS:
With pleasure.
The Knight Sabers fly towards the gigantic Boomer head and
fire at it.
Metal vines launch from the Boomers body and attack the
women.
Nene, Linna and Sylia are caught by the metal vines and
are trapped.
Priss avoids the vines, flies into the mouth of the
Boomer.
124 INT. THUG BOOMER OESOPHAGUS - NIGHT.
The atmosphere inside changes.
Priss flies through the tunnel which makes up the giant
Boomers oesophagus.
It is a beatiful mess of metal and sparks.
After a while of flying, she reaches the core.
The original Thug is now a cybernetic skeleton surrounded
by his new body rather than containing it.
Priss fires at it, destroying the skeleton and brain
inside the skull.
125 EXT. FACTORY - NIGHT.
The metal vine lose their power, and the Knight Sabers get
free.
Priss flies out of the mouth.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 53.
PRISS:
I set a charge in there. Move it.
SYLIA, NENE AND LINNA:
Okay.
They fly away.
Fire bursts out of the Boomer heads eyes, nose and mouth
from the explosion inside.
From the sky, the Sabers watch the on fire Boomer head.
Police sirens sound in the distance.
PRISS:
Damn it. I dont know if Cindy
got out in time.
NENE:
I cant blend in with the police
without any clothes.
SYLIA:
Dont panic. We cant do anything
now. Try to get a copy of the
poilce report tomorrow, okay
Nene?
NENE:
Okay.
SYLIA:
Thatll tell us if Cindy was
found, dead or alive. Move out.
The Knight Sabers fly away.
In the distance, there are numerous crate cranes.
126 EXT. CRATE CRANES - DAWN.
We close in on the top of one of the cranes.
At the top of one stands Lisa, holding a camera pointed at
the wreckage.
She watches the Knight Sabers fly away.
She smiles as she lowers her camera.
54.
127 INT. LISAS ROOM - DAY.
The curtains are closed. The room is dark.
Lisa is sat at her computer, looking at the footage she
filmed.
She digitally zooms in her footage of the Knight Sabers
battle on the factory roof.
She pauses the video as one of the Sabers helmets is
smashed.
She zooms in closer on the Sabers exposed face.
LISA:
Nene? Progress.
Lisa sits back in her chair.
Nene, who has a plaster on her cheek, is looking through
police reports at her desk.
Naoko walks past, but then stops.
NAOKO:
What happened to your fortune,
Nene?
NENE:
What? This? Oh I just had a
little accident on my scooter. No
biggie. Still good for the
concert tomorrow, and the
boyfriend market of course.
The converstaion goes on.
Lisa stares at her.
129 INT. HOT LEGS CLUB - NIGHT.
Inside the club, Nene and Linna are sat at a bar.
NENE:
Have you seen that girl Priss has
started to hang around with? I
finally saw her the other day.
She was so stylish, that every
head turned.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 55.
LINNA:
I cant say I have. It sounds
like shes just another fresh
face. Theyll stop turning once
they get used to her.
NENE:
Hmm. A stylish girl that hardly
anyone has seen before? I know a
Sexaroid is running amok in
Megatokyo. Maybe shes one of
their kind.
LINNA:
Youd better not say that to her
face, Nene.
Priss enters from backstage.
PRISS:
Hi.
NENE:
Oh, Priss. You were fantastic as
always.
LINNA:
Why dont I quit my job and
become your manager? I have
contacts in very high places now.
NENE:
Oh there you go again. Linna
started talking to a guy who says
he works for a major records
label. Says.
LINNA:
Hey, its serious this time. Hes
a serious professional, and a
serious potential boyfriend.
PRISS:
Forget it. I dont want to watch
you break into tears yet again.
LINNA:
Didnt you hear me when I said it
was serious? Im entitled to
happiness too, you know.
NENE:
Hapiness in a relationship with
you? Oh boy.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 56.
LINNA:
Youre both officially mean.
SYLVIE:
Sounds like a fun argument.
Sylvie is before them.
SYLVIE:
(Continued)
Mind if I join in?
PRISS:
Sylvie. Youre a little late. My
sets finished now.
SYLVIE:
Oh. Im sorry. I, uh, had a
little business to take care of.
Are these the friends you keep
telling me about?
PRISS:
Yep. Linna and Nene.
LINNA:
Hi. Ive heard all about you. And
my, when they say you have class,
you have class.
SYLVIE:
Its nice to meet you.
Nene looks at Sylvie and her body with suspicion.
NENE:
Nice to meet you, too. You didnt
bring your friends?
Pause. Sylvie notices Nene is wearing a police uniform.
SYLVIE:
What can I say? I only have Priss
to keep me on my toes for now.
PRISS:
(Pause)
Yeah. Only me.
Nene notices Priss lying.
SYLVIE:
I would like to find more friends
here, though. I cant replace the
ones I left behind, but you cant
put a price on company I guess.
Linnas happiness drops.
57.
130 EXT. CLUB - NIGHT.
Sylvie exits the club and walks towards her motorcycle.
Priss catches up with her.
PRISS:
Sylvie, wait. Is Anrie really
that much of a secret that youd
tell no one about her?
SYLVIE:
Your friend was a cop.
Pause.
PRISS:
I cant help you if youre not
honest with me.
SYLVIE:
I can tell youre not one hundred
percent honest with me. Youre
hiding secrets. I dont drill you
on them.
Pause.
PRISS:
Fine. Ill back off.
SYLVIE:
Thanks. No complaints here.
PRISS:
Dont worry about it.
Sylvie gets onto her motorcycle and starts it up.
PRISS:
Anrie. Shes lucky.
SYLVIE:
I probably wont tell her you
said that. I dont want her
getting jealous.
Sylvie puts on her helmet, and drives off.
Linna is hiding around a corner, listening to their
conversation.
Her fist is clenched.
58.
131 EXT. CITY - NIGHT.
Linna, in her hard suit, flies towards the Genom tower.
132 EXT. ROOFTOP. GENOM TOWER - NIGHT.
Linna lands on the roof.
Before her, Mason stands in his powered armour with the
cockpit shield open.
LINNA:
Looks like youve resigned
yourself to that.
MASON:
I figured I would be sporting.
For a change.
Linna races towards him.
Through her visor, her suit analyzes where the weapons are
on Masons power armour.
Mason closes the cockpit shield and fires rockets at
Linna.
Linna dodges the rockets by flying up.
She lands in front of Mason.
The cannons aiming at Linna fall off and land on the
ground, as Linnas ribbons had cut them when she landed.
The rockets explode in the air.
Linna smashes Masons cockpit shield with her right hand
knuckle bombers, revealing Mason with some glass cuts.
Masons powered armour grabs Linna by the throat and
begins to squeeze.
Linnas armour around the throat begins to crack. Linnas
helmet visor shatters revealing her face looking at
Masons.
A sharp sword exits Linnas suits left arm, and she stabs
Mason in the throat.
Pause.
The powered armour stops working and falls to the ground,
bringing Linna down with it.
Linna gets her throat free from the power armours loose
grasp, and looks at Mason dead in pool of blood.
59.
Linna gets up.
133 EXT. CITY - NIGHT.
Linna flies above the city.
134 EXT. ROOFTOP. GENOM TOWER - NIGHT.

visible, standing in the center.
She goes unconscious, and falls to the floor.
138 INT. LIVING ROOM. SYLIAS APARTMENT - DAY.
Linnas hard suit is on the floor.
Sylia and Linna are sat on a couch.
LINNA:
I had to do it. Irene, forgive me
for letting you die.
Linna gets up and walks away. Sylia watches her.
SYLIA:
Linna. Youre only helping
yourself.
LINNA:
Bullshit. What I did was right.
And Ive never felt better.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 60.
Linna exits.
Silence.
139 INT. TEMPLE - NIGHT.
A figure in the shadows stand.
LARGO:
Sylia... Sylia Stingray...
140 INT. DARK ROOM.
Sylia is alone in a pitch black room.
She has heard the voice calling her.
141 EXT. AD POLICE HEADQUARTERS - DAY.
Lisa and Nene are in the office. We hear their voices.
NENE:
(OS)
So, how about I show you around
the place today?
LISA:
(OS)
No thanks. Youre talking to an
over qualified tour guide.
NENE:
(OS)
Oops. Im sorry I havent been
around that much. Hey, before you
become an over qualified Mega
Tokyo tour guide, how about I
take you out for dinner tonight?
Unless you want to see my
paycheck gather dust, which is
equally as fun.
LISA:
(OS)
Ill bet it is. Dinner sounds
great, Nene.
142 INT. CAFETERIA. AD POLICE HEADQUARTERS - DAY.
Nene brings two ice teas to the table where Lisa sits.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 61.
NENE:
There you go. Ice cold. Itll
keep you on your toes, as well as
wake you up a little.
LISA:
I was looking through all the
footage I caught from last night.
NENE:
Wow. New footage? Did you find
anything that could get you a
scoop?
LISA:
Perhaps.
Nene takes a glug of her coffee. Lisa takes out a photo
and shows it to Nene.
Nene sees the photo of her face when her helmet was
smashed.
She spits out her coffee into Lisas face, but she doesnt
actually care about that.
Pause.
NENE:
Needs more sugar.
LISA:
Pretty lucky, huh? I felt a
little earthquake where Im
staying so I decided to check it
out. Youd have thought the
Knight Sabers would be athletic
enough to dodge any strike. But
unfortunately this one, oh you
know, maybe eats a little too
much sugar.
Pause.
NENE:
Im on a diet. But this really
needs more sugar.
LISA:
I cant help but think that Ive
seen this person somewhere
before. If only I didnt have to
magnify the photo so much.
NENE:
Whoever it is, Im sure youll
find her, or him, or it. Its no

NENE: (contd)
secret that we actually live in a
really small overpopulated world.
Silence.
Nenes phones buzzes.
Nene looks at her phone.
LISA:
Everything okay?
NENE:
Just some people I know who want
someone like me to help them with
some work. I have to go now.
Forgive me?
Nene heads for the exit.
LISA:
Hey. What about tonight?
NENE:
Some other time, okay?
LISA:
You promise?
143 EXT. ENTRANCE. NORTH BANK - NIGHT.
Armored vehicles are outside the North Bank skyscraper,
along with AD Police officers including Leon and Daley.
LEON:
They said they would be here.
DALEY:
Its clearly a trap. You know
what I said about women and
trust.
LEON:
Were over prepared. And theyre
not women.
Leon switches on his walkie talkie.
LEON:
One minute until comms blackout.
Whats the situation up there?
There is an explosion on the roof of the North Bank.
63.
144 EXT. ROOFTOP. NORTH BANK - NIGHT.
A hornet flies towards the roof and sees the explosion.
It fires at the roof.
The Fake Knight Sabers, on the roof, dodge the shots.
They fire at the hornet, and it explodes.
145 EXT. ENTRANCE. NORTH BANK - NIGHT
The officers take shelter from the falling debris.
LEON:
Call the SWAT team out of there,
and get the K-12s ready. Were
not out of resources yet.
146 INT. CORRIDOR. NORTH BANK - NIGHT.
A group of special AD Police officers dressed in black and
holding assault rifles jog down the corridor in unison.
They turn a corner and run past the numerous powered
armours.
The four fake Knight Sabers stand there.
"Nene" and "Linna" are Boomers, but inside "Sylia" is
Anrie, and inside "Priss" is Sylvie.
ANRIE:
I dont feel right.
VOICE:
(OS)
Oh but you will. Remember, Anrie,
were removing obstacles.
Sylvie puts her hand on Anries shoulder.
SYLVIE:
We cant let the others down.
Theyre watching us.
Sylvie points to the stars.
ANRIE:
I dont them to be ashamed of us,
though.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 64.
SYLVIE:
Stop worrying. Well make it up
to them one day.
A sound. The AD Police powered armours, six of them, have
arrived on the roof. Leon is inside one of them.
LEON:
Id surrender if I were you.
"Linna" fires at the AD Police armours, destroying two of
them.
"Linna" and "Nene" transform (rather, bulk up) and show
their true monstrous Boomer form. They attack the AD
Police.
Sylvie and Anrie give each other a look, then Sylvie
attacks while Anrie watches.
The Power Armours fire, but the Fake Knight Sabers are
fast and dodge every shot.
The "Knight Sabers" defeat five of the six AD Police
armours.
Sylvie attacks Leon but Leon manages to knock Sylvie from
the main roof, and onto a lower part of the roof.
"Linna" and "Nene" strike Leon hard beaking his wind
shield to reveal his bleeding face, and he is kicked to
the ground before Anries feet.
Anrie aims her hand at Leon ready to fire
ANRIE:
Im sorry. Its... for the
greater good.
Anrie sees two flashes reflect in Leons armours
exterior.
She jumps up as lasers hit her ground beneath her.
Debris from the ground spray at Leon.
Anrie dodges the other laser blasts and takes cover behind
"Linna".
Leon spits out the debris, and sees the real Knight Sabers
floating in the sky.
SYLIA:
Showtime.
"Linna" and "Nene" fire at the Sabers.
The real Knight Sabers split up and dodge the lasers.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 65.
Sylia goes after Anrie, and the two fight.
Nene fights "Nene". Nene tries to touch her imposter to
hack her with an electrified hand, but her touches keep
missing, and Nene is kicked into a wall.
Linna reaches "Linna", and Linna manages to cut off her
imposters hand with her razor ribbons. The imposter tries
to kick her but Linna flies up to dodge it. The imposter
grabs Linnas ribbon cutters and pulls her down into the
ground.
While this is happening, Priss lands in front of Leon.
PRISS:
Leon. Dont let go.
LEON:
Sheesh. How many take aways did
you stop for on the way?
PRISS:
We were waiting for our suits to
upgrade, actually.
A heavy machine jumps up from the lower part of the roof
and onto the higher one. Sylvie is now hidden inside a
very powerful looking powered armour (a "DD"), piloting
it.
Her eyes are on Priss. Priss stands up.
PRISS:
Ill send you to Boomer hell.
Priss races towards Sylvie, and Priss fires. Her needles
strike the armour but only leave scratches.
Priss reaches Sylvie, and Sylvie dodges Prisss knuckle
bomber punch. Sylvie knocks Priss into a wall, then Sylvie
fires lasers at her.
Prisss jets fire making her fall faster to the ground but
dodging the lasers.
Priss hids the ground hard, but fires needles rapidly at
the head of Sylvies armour.
148 INT. DD ARMOUR. NORTH BANK - NIGHT.
Sylvie struggles to see what is happening through the
armours sight screens.
When the needles stop firing, Sylvie can see that Priss is
actually very close to the armour.
66.
She stops firing the needles, then delivers a devastating
blow via knuckle bombers to Sylvies armour.
Sylvie grabs and against the wall, but because it was
weakened from the last impact, Priss goes through it.
There is a bomb on Sylvie. It beeps. It explodes. Sylvies
armour is badly damaged and falls to the ground.
Anrie fights off Sylia, then sees Sylvie on the ground.
ANRIE:
No.
Anrie runs to Sylvie, but Sylia trips her.
Anrie rolls along the floor and flips up.
She grabs Sylia and pins her against a wall.
Anrie attempts to punch Sylvie but Sylia blocks the punch.
Sylia pushes Anrie away and punches her, then pulls Sylvie
back hard into the wall and she goes through it.
Sylvies armour lies there.
Sylvie is slightly conscious.
The armours damaged screens show that the overall damage
is critical.
Straps appear around where Sylvie lies, and the straps
secure her into the pilots chair.
From out of the straps, wires emerge and go into Sylvie.
The lighting turns red. A coundown appears on the screens.
Sylvie gets more conscious, and looks around.
SYLVIE:
What the?
The DD armour gets up.
Nene and Linna are holding their own against the imposter
foes, but its a tough battle.
A voice speaks into the "Nene" and "Linna" imposters.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 67.
VOICE:
(OS)
The self destruct sequence in the
DD has been initiated. Keep the
Knight Sabers here, and show them
their doom.
152 INT. MEETING ROOM. NORTH BANK - NIGHT.
Through the now broken wall is the rooftop meeting room.
Sylvie lies on the long centre table. Sylia walks along
the table towards her.
Priss is on the ground next to the table. She slowly
recovers and sees Sylia walking.
SYLIA:
I want answers. Why are you
trying to destroy us?
SYLVIE:
Our friends... They all died
trying to help us. If we cant
find freedom, then they died in
vain.
SYLIA:
You wont find freedom this way.
You crash landed from Generos,
didnt you?
Suddenly, the DD armour crashes down from the glass roof
in between Sylia and Sylvie.
The armour grabs Sylia.
PRISS:
No.
The DD throws Sylia through the back wall, where on the
other side, it is a very long fall to the ground.
PRISS:
Damn it.
Priss gets up, runs, and jumps through the hole in the
wall.
153 EXT. NORTH BANK - NIGHT.
The AD police see Sylia fall from the roof.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 68.
DALEY:
Surpress fire only.
Priss falls after her.
Priss grabs the unconscious Sylia, and flies her back to
the roof.
154 INT. MEETING ROOM. NORTH BANK - NIGHT.
Sylvie, still lying on the table, looks up at the DD.
SYLVIE:
Anrie, the self detruct sequence
has gone online.
Anrie lifts her visor.
ANRIE:
What?
SYLVIE:
It the final defence. Ive lost
control. Run, Anrie. Get out of
here while you can.
ANRIE:
No. No. I cant leave you,
Sylvie. Id rather die with you.
SYLVIE:
Then all our fighting would be
for nothing. I wont say it
again. Run. Its over for me.
ANRIE:
Dont say that.
SYLVIE:
I am saying that. You hear me? I
dont want you to die because of
me.
Pause.
SYLVIE:
(Cont.)
I kill to save you. Theres no
other reason.
Another pause.
Anrie sees the fighting happening outside.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 69.
ANRIE:
I hear you. Before I run, lets
get them.
SYLVIE:
Okay.
Anrie puts her visor down. Anrie grabs the DD armour and
helps herself up.
The DD armour looks up to see Priss and Sylia flying over
through the glass roof. The DD fires and the lasers hit
Priss.
Priss and Sylia fall onto the edge of the roof where Nene
and Linna are.
They are all now exhausted.
"Linna" and "Nene" advance towards the four Knight Sabers.
Sylvie and Anrie land in front of the Boomers.
PRISS:
I hate every single one of you.
NENE:
Uh oh. Theres no where else to
run. Thell shoot us down if we
fly.
SYLIA:
Ill distract them. You three
retreat.
LINNA:
What? No.
SYLIA:
Thats an order.
The Boomers aim at the Knight Sabers. The "Linna" and
"Nene" imposters open their abdomen casing to reveal
blasters warming up.
Suddenly, a large airship emerges from the side of the
bank behind the Knight Sabers.
156 INT. AIRSHIP - NIGHT.
Mackie is in the cockpit.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 70.
MACKIE:
Get down.
The airship fires rockets at the Boomers. The imposters
retreat to dodge the explosions from the rockets.
The DD stands its ground against the explosions.
SYLIA:
Now. Get the to ship.
Sylia, Linna and Nene fly up into the airship.
The three reach the airship and go inside.
Priss is still on the roof, facing the DD armour.
NENE:
What are you doing? Get up here.
PRISS:
Im not running. Ive got this.
Sylvie eyes Priss.
SYLVIE:
At least I wont die a coward.
The screens AI analyses Priss.
The DD armour launches itself at Priss.
Priss jumps up to avoid it, but the armour grabs her leg
and pulls her to the ground.
Priss punches the arm holding onto her and damages it with
the knuckle bombers.
Priss jumps up.
There is a bomb underneath the DD Armour and it explodes,
weaking the edge of the roof where the armour stands. The
DD does not fall off as it just about keeps its balance.
Anrie, watching from a distance, is picked up by "Linna"
and "Nene" and they fly away.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 71.
PRISS:
Die.
Priss flies towards the armour and tackles it.
Anrie watches the DD and Priss fall off the edge of the
roof.
The airship hovers above the roof.
NENE:
Oh no. Priss.
Sylia notices the imposter Boomer flying away. Sylia then
looks to the falling DD and Priss.
SYLIA:
Somethings not right here.
160 EXT. NORTH BANK - NIGHT.
As the DD and Priss fall down the side of the roof, they
wrestle.
Just before they hit the ground, their jet boosters fire,
but its too late and they hit the ground hard.
Priss and the DD are lying on the ground.
The DD is more damaged than Priss is.
Priss gets ups slowly.
Linna and Nene look out through the hangar door to the
ground below.
Nenes antennae picks up something.
NENE:
Wait. Im detecting something. A
micro neutron bomb. Right below
us.
LINNA:
Youre detecting now? That
means...
SYLIA:
How long until it reaches
critical mass?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 72.
NENE:
One hundred and eighty seconds.
Priss walks towards the DD on the ground.
SYLIA:
(OS)
Priss, we think the DD is about
to blow up and nuke the city. You
have to destroy its power source
ASAP.
PRISS:
Okay, okay. Ill sort it.
The DD stirs. Priss stops and aims at it.
The hatch opens up to let out the mass of steam inside.
The steam clears, and Priss can now see Sylvie inside.
Prisss aiming arm lowers.
PRISS:
Sylvie?
Priss lifts her visor to reveal her face.
SYLVIE:
Priss.
PRISS:
Get out of the armour, Sylvie.
SYLVIE:
I cant. Its fused with my body.
Kill me, and the DD will shut
down.
Pause.
SYLIA:
(OS)
Priss, the bomb is still online.
Youre the closest to the source.
Move it.
Priss takes off her helmet and throws it to the side to
silence the comms speaker.
PRISS:
I cant.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 73.
SYLVIE:
Yes you can. Of course you can.
You hate Boomers, remember?
Thats what you told me. Im just
a sexaroid.
PRISS:
Youre also my friend.
SYLVIE:
I dont want you and Anrie to die
because of me.
The DD strikes Priss and she flies to the other side of
the alley into trash cans and her motorcycle, and becomes
buried.
The DD gets up.
SYLVIE:
Stop. Stop. Please.
The screen inside the DD shows the countdown timer at
thirty seconds.
From out of the pile of trash, Priss rises, now wearing an
outer power armour transformed from her motorcycle.
PRISS:
Here I come.
Priss jumps into the air towards the DD.
The DD fires rockets at Priss and Priss curls into a ball.
The rockets strike Priss, creating an explosion.
164 EXT. AIRSHIP - NIGHT.
Linna, Nene and Sylia jump from the airship and decend
towards the explosion.
From the explosion, Priss minus the DD armour and only in
her hard suit, appears in the flames and flies towards the
DD at lightning speed.
PRISS:
Sylvie.
Sylvie closes her eyes.
Priss fires a needle at Sylvie and it hits her stomach.
Bloods flies from Sylvies mouth.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 74.
The DD powers down. The DD falls leans over and freezes
dead.
The timer on the DDs screen freezes at three seconds.
The cockpit straps and wires defuse from Sylvie, and she
falls from the DD cockpit towards the ground.
Priss lands on the ground beneath the leaning DD, and
catches Sylvie.
Priss lays Sylvie on the ground.
PRISS:
Oh my gosh. Sylvie, Im so sorry.
SYLVIE:
Im glad it was you that did it.
Im thankful for all the hope you
gave me, even though we both knew
that finding freedom was almost
impossible. Keep Anrie safe,
Priss. Im glad it was you.
Sylvie dies.
PRISS:
Sylvie. Sylvie, wake up. Wake up,
damn it. Wake up.
Pause.
Priss holds Sylvie close and she cries.
The other Knight Sabers land.
Sylia puts her hand on Prisss shoulder.
Priss rests Sylvie on the ground.
Daley and other AD police officers approach the alley
entrance, guns ready.

the ground.
Mackie drives the airship through the city skies.
The Knight Sabers are sat in the hangar quietly.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 75.
PRISS:
I hate boomers. Theyre the
reason so many of my friends die.
Silence.
167 INT. BEDROOM. SYLVIES APARTMENT - DAWN.
Anrie is asleep in her bed.
The bedroom door opens slowly, and Priss stands there.
Pause.
Anrie stirs.
ANRIE:
Sylvie? You made it?
She sees Priss.
ANRIE:
Priss?
Silence.
Priss shakes her head.
Anrie understands, and breaks down.
Another silence.
PRISS:
She got involved with the wrong
people. Im not going to let you
do the same.
ANRIE:
Leave me alone. Please.
Pause.
PRISS:
You got it. Ill see you around,
I guess.
Priss leaves. She closes the door behind her.
168 INT. SYLIAS APPARTMENT - DAY.
Priss, Linna and Sylia are present.
SYLIA:
Youre quitting? Youre kidding.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 76.
LINNA:
Youre just in shock. Give it
time.
PRISS:
Why? Im supposed to be the one
destroying them. Im not lucky
enough to have many friends, and
I intend to keep the ones I have.
LINNA:
By leaving them?
PRISS:
I know what Im doing.
LINNA:
Clearly.
PRISS:
You know, a little respect would
be nice.
LINNA:
Im giving you jack shit if you
say its over when its clearly
not. I lost a friend once, but I
didnt run from my problems. I
fought back.
PRISS:
Save the preaching for the choir.
Pause.
LINNA:
Come over here and say that
again.
PRISS:
Gladly.
Sylia smashes a glass table with her fist.
Silence.
SYLIA:
Linna, work on your convincing
skills. Priss, keep your AWOL
temporary, okay?
PRISS:
Why not permanently? Weve never
had trouble finding recruits
before. I can hate Boomers
without risking my life, thank
you.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 77.
SYLIA:
I never asked you to risk your
life. I asked for you to be there
at the front row for when Boomers
and humans finally live side by
side in peace.
PRISS:
Thats a dream, Sylia. Ive been
doing this for long enough to
know that it cant be achieved.
LINNA:
Its her Fathers dream, Priss.
How about a little sensitivity?
PRISS:
Fuck sensitivity. I made friends
with a Boomer and she died in my
arms. Can you imagine what it
would be like if they become more
human than Sylvie, besides
creepy? I dont know what your
father was thinking, Sylia, but
lets face it, his idea of us and
them co-existing is a million
litres of piss and vinegar.
SYLIA:
Come over here and say that
again.
Silence.
Priss leaves.
169 EXT. TOUR BUS - DAY.
Priss walks towards her home.
It is a very large lorry once used for a successful
touring band, now abandoned in the middle of the road, and
surrounded by destruction caused by a past earthquake.
She sees her new motorcycle parked outside.
She kneels beside it, and gently presses her forehead
against it.
170 INT. BEDROOM. TOUR BUS - DAY.
Priss lies in her bed staring into space.
She closes her eyes.
78.
171 INT. TRAILER - NIGHT.
Priss packs her bag and zips it closed.
She sees a poster on her wall, which advertises her first
ever gig as a musician.
Priss tears the poster down, screws it into a ball and
throws it to the side.
It lands at Sylias feet.
SYLIA:
It must be great not paying any
rent.
PRISS:
Its where they died. Its where
I met him.
Sylia picks up the srunched up poster, and flattens it
out. She approaches Priss.
SYLIA:
This is your first time on the
stage. It was along time ago. But
right now, youre still
beautiful.
Priss embraces Sylia.
PRISS:
Oh, Sylia. Im so sorry.
SYLIA:
Its all right. I still believe
in you.
172 INT. OBSERVATION DECK. AD POLICE HEADQUARTERS - NIGHT.
Lisa stands in front of the glass overlooking Mega Tokyo.
Nene joins her.
LISA:
So, it looks like its goodbye to
this old place, tomorrow.
NENE:
Thats too bad. You couldnt get
enough for a scoop after all,
huh?
LISA:
Ah. A scoop. All this time
searching for whats behind those

LISA: (contd)
visors, yet in the end I have
nothing solid enough. All that I
know is that they arent always
around, hang around garages and
get facial injuries. But apart
from those weak little details
and a useless photograph,
fruitless.
NENE:
Oh really? Thats too bad.
Pause.
LISA:
Um. Nene. Why do the Knight
Sabers do what they do? They wear
Boomers to destroy Boomers. It
doesnt make much sense to me,
thats all.
Pause.
NENE:
I dont know. What do you think
would happen if Boomers were
never opposed in any way? I think
theyre just fighting to maintain
a balance.
Pause.
173 EXT. RECEPTION. AD POLICE HEADQUARTERS - NIGHT.
A man walks past the reception towards the doors leading
to the offices.
An officer stops him.
OFFICER:

anythings blocking the exit.
Nene runs off.
She presses a button on her watch.
176 INT. MAIN CONTROL ROOM - NIGHT.
Boomer 2 kicks the door open.
It enters.
The room is circular, with microchips decorating the

outside.
DALEY:

OFFICER: (contd)
but some are still in the
building.
DALEY:
Damn it. Get Leon over here.
OFFICER:
Yes, sir.
Daley pauses.
Nene enters from the staircase cautiously.
She stays close to the wall as she moves forward.
Along the way, she quietly closes a door to an office
where there are people hiding inside.
Nene continues along, and goes around a corner.
Suddenly, Boomer 1 crashes down from the ceiling behind
Nene.
She turns around to see it.
She aims her shotgun at the Boomer. She aims carefully.
Nene fires at the Boomers eyes, but it covers them with
its hand.
It advances forward, making Nene back into a wall.
Nene continues to fire, but runs out of ammo.
Boomer 1 stops.
It lowers its hand.
It aims its cannons at Nene.
Below the foot of Boomer 1 is Nenes watch, which is
flashing.
Suddenly, Sylia in her hardsuit crashes through the window
and tackles Boomer 1 into the wall.
Nene sees the cannon gun aiming at her and charging.
It fires.
Nene throws her shotgun at a glass partition of an office
door which cracks it, then she runs and crashes through
the glass.
83.
The explosion from the cannon shot just misses her in the
process.
188 INT. OFFICE. AD POLICE HQ. 11TH FLOOR - NIGHT.
Nene gets up from the floor. She is bleeding slightly from
the glass cutting her.
A large yellow powered armour crashes through the window
into the office.
It opens to reveal Mackie inside.
MACKIE:
Nene. Are you okay? I have your
new suit.
NENE:
Any time, Mackie.
Sylia attempts to to throw the Boomer, but the Boomer
throws her instead.
Linna crashes in through an office door with her hardsuit
on and strikes the Boomer, sending it into a wall.

192 INT. OFFICE. AD POLICE HQ. 11TH FLOOR - NIGHT.
Nene, naked, jumps into her suit.
It tightens around her body.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 84.
NENE:
Ah. Shit, thats cold. Okay, you
can turn around now.
Mackie in the powered armour turns.
MACKIE:
All right. I cant track where
the Boomers are being controlled
from, but the building itself is
being controlled from the main
computer in the basement.
NENE:
Were closer to the subcontrol
room to fight it. Were going up.
MACKIE:
On it.
Mackie shoots a hole in the ceiling, and the partition
falls down along with a few desks it was supporting.
Boomer 1 is blown through the shutters and into the
office.
Mackie and Nene jump up through the wall, and the flying
Boomer misses them.
Boomer 1 stops sliding across the floor.
Sylia and Linna enter the office and fly towards Boomer 1.
Another explosion in the building side.
Boomer 1 falls from the explosion.
It crashes near Daley and his team.
Pause.
Daley walks over to an officer who is looking at the
deceased Boomer with a walkie talkie in his hand.
Daley takes the talkie and talks into it.
DALEY:
We seem to have Boomers for rain
out here. The attack on AD is
probably a distraction, courtesy
of you know who.
85.
194 INT. LEONS CAR - NIGHT.
Leon is on his own speaking into the cars receiver.
LEON:
Copy that. Ill tell you if I
detect any signals between Genom
and AD.
195 EXT. HIGHWAY - NIGHT.
Leons car speeds away.
196 INT. SUB CONTROL ROOM - NIGHT.
Nene and Mackie plug their suits into the main computer
via wires.
The computer screen fires up, and Nene types into the
system.
The screens show flickering images of Boomers 3 and 4
walking around the corridors and causing destruction.
NENE:
Two Boomers are on the floor
above you. Im sending the sensor
detections to you now.
LINNA:
Thanks, Nene.
Linna and Sylia walk to the ceiling hole that Boomer 1
made previously, and they fly up through it.
Boomer 3 is in front of Linna, and Boomer 4 is in front of
Sylia on either side of the corridor.
The Boomers fire their rockets at the Knight Sabers, and
they dodge them whilst running towards one Boomer each.
Linna fires lasers from her hand at Boomer 3.
Sylia draws her sword and swings at Boomer 4.
86.
The people trapped inside lay low.
Silent.
They hear the explosions.
They feel the building shake.
NENE:
Oh no.
MACKIE:
What?
NENE:
Uh. I kind of left my friend on
the observation deck.
Nene types into the computer, and she sees a security
camera feed showing Lisa wandering the Observation Deck,
which now has closed shutters.
Lisa wanders around.
Nene speaks through the loud speaker.
NENE:
(OS)
Lisa.
LISA:
Nene?
NENE:
(OS)
Lisa, Im going to get you out of
there. I have control over parts
of the building now, so just do
as I say, okay?
LISA:
Okay. Okay.
NENE:
(OS)
Im opening the shutter in front
of you for three seconds. Go
through it now.
The shutter door opens, and Lisa runs through it.

The shutter closes.
202 INT. CORRIDOR. 22ND FLOOR. AD POLICE HQ - NIGHT.
Lisa runs through it.
NENE:
(OS)

Lisa runs down the stairs.
204 INT. CORRIDOR. 11TH FLOOR. AD POLICE HQ - NIGHT.

punches her.
Linna slides along the floor, ripping a hole into the wall
with her hand to slow her down.
She runs back at Boomer 3.
Sylia, with her sword extention, tries to cut Boomer 4.
It dodges her attacks and tries to kick her, but Sylia
somersaults over it.
205 INT. STAIRCASE. AD POLICE HQ - NIGHT.
Lisa stops before a hole in the staircase.
LISA:
Nene. End of the line.
NENE:
Head for the door. Im opening up
the elevators on that corridor.
Climb down the elevator shaft.
Lisa runs to the door.
88.
Lisa reaches the opened elevator doors.
She stops before it, as the ladder is on the other side of
the shaft to where Lisa is.
LISA:
Youre kidding me.
NENE:
(OS)
Jump. Its the only way down.
Short pause.
Lisa jumps into the shaft.
207 INT. ELEVATOR SHAFT. AD POLICE HQ - NIGHT.
Lisa jumps across the shaft.
She reaches the other side and grabs the ladder.

Lisa climbs down the ladder.
208 INT. CONTROL ROOM. AD POLICE HEADQUARTERS - NIGHT.
Boomer 2 send more pulses.
There is a hole in the wall next to the elevator from a
previous destruction (when Nene avoided the Boomer
cannon).
Within the wall are broken circuits.
Suddenly they connect with each other.
The screens show that the elevator has gone back online.
NENE:
What?
MACKIE:
I thought the elevators were out.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 89.
NENE:
Block the circuit, Mackie?
MACKIE:
Im trying.
Lisa, clinging to the ladder, looks up.
The elevator is descending towards her fast.
212 INT. ANRIES CAR. HIGHWAY BRIDGE - NIGHT.
On a long bridge above the ground, is a highway leading to
the Genom Tower.
Priss, wearing a helmet and on her motorbike, drives past
Anries car.
Inside the car is Anrie driving. There is a man in the
back seat.
Anrie sees a following car in the rear view mirror.
ANRIE:
Were being followed.
LARGO:
Its a Genom agent. You werent
careful enough at getting the
Defence Minister.
ANRIE:
Im sorry. Forgive me. Ill do
better next time.
LARGO:
No matter how much of a Boomer is
made by another Boomer, we still
inherit the creators faults.
Youre not responsible for your
own mistakes, Anrie. They are.
ANRIE:
Yes, Largo.
213 EXT. HIGHWAY BRIDGE - NIGHT.
Anries car stops.
The car following behind stops.
Largo exits the car and walks towards the agent.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 90.
Silence.
Suddenly a white bright laser strikes the agents car from
above, destroying it.
Anrie sees the explosion.
Largo continues to walk towards the remains of the car.
He reaches the destroyed body of the Agent. He was a
Boomer.
Largo kneels down, and touches the head of the agent from
the body.
His hand merges with the head.
214 INT. CONTROL ROOM. DEFENCE QUARTERS. GENOM TOWER - NIGHT.
Madigan looks at the main screen which projects what the
Agents head is seeing: Largo.
LARGO:
Hello, Catherine. What a risk
Genom is taking in still letting
a human be in charge of security.
They listened, but they didnt
respond.
Pause.
MADIGAN:
Mason? What the hell happened to
you?
LARGO:
Improvement. I have the Defence
Minister, and I might as well
tell in advance that Im on my
way to Quincy to discuss the OMS.
MADIGAN:
How do you know about that? You
were dead when the OMS info
leaked.
LARGO:
You cant hide anything from me,
Catherine. Were both sharp, but
youre in my shadow.
91.
215 EXT. HIGHWAY BRIDGE - NIGHT.
Largo crushes the Boomer head.
He gets up, and Leon is next to him holding a pistol to
Largos head.
Pause.
LEON:
You know, you cant distract
every member of an army.
LARGO:
But you can send them to places
where theyll never be seen
again.
LEON:
Just for that little threat,
youre coming with me. Face to
the floor. Hands on your head.
An AD Police helicopter decends from above.
Largo gives the helicopter a cold look.
LEON:
Youre not deaf, creep. I can
always let the gun do the asking.
A laser beam plummets down and strikes the helicopter,
making it explode.
The explosion blows Leon to the ground, and he loses his
gun.
The helicopter crashes into the highway.
Largo picks Leon up by his throat.
LARGO:
You ask others to do your
bidding? Perhaps in the next
lifetime, youll only follow
commands.
Largo squeezes Leons throat.
Suddenly, a needle goes through Largos arm, and Leon is
dropped to the ground unconscious.
Largo looks at the needle stuck in his arm.
He pulls it out and looks to where he can hear a
motorcycle.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 92.
From the fire of the fallen helicopter, appears Priss on
her motorcycle.
She speeds through the fire and speeds towards Largo.
ANRIE:
Priss?
Largo signals with his arm, and the laser strikes the
highway behind Priss, sending her flying into the ground.
ANRIE:
Priss.
Largo looks at Anrie.
She slides across the ground and stops.
She is unconscious.
216 INT. ANRIES CAR. HIGHWAY BRIDGE - NIGHT.
Largo gets into the car.
LARGO:
All done. Lets go.
Short pause.
Anrie looks at the destruction behind her car.
ANRIE:
Yes, Largo.
Anrie drives the car away.
The shaft is empty.
The grate to one of the air vents has been ripped off.
The corridor is empty.
The grate to one of the air duct grates is kicked off
(with difficulty).
The grate falls to the floor.
Lisa exits the air duct and jumps to the floor.
She gets up.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 93.
NENE:
(OS)
Lisa, how are you doing?
LISA:
Just peachy.
NENE:
(OS)
Oh good. Get to the left gate.
Lisa runs to the left gate.
It opens up to reveal Boomer 4 on the other side. It turns
around to see Lisa.
NENE:
(OS)
Oops. The right. The right.
LISA:
Shit, Nene.
Lisa turns around, but she stops when she sees a gun
turret on the ceiling decend and scan the area.
The gate door begisn to close behind her.
The turret gun locks onto Lisa.
Sylia jumps over Boomer 4, and slides under the gate door
before it closes, separating her and Lisa from Boomer 4.
The turret fires at Sylia instead, but the lasers miss as
Sylia is sliding too fast along the floor.
She slides under the turret and destroys it with her laser
gun.
Sylia flips up, as the gate behind her opens.
SYLIA:
Scram.
Lisa runs to the gate, and Sylia runs to the other closed
gate.
They run past each other.
Lisa goes out the right gate.
SYLIA:
Nene. Left gate.
The left gate door opens to reveal Boomer 4.
Sylia jumps and gets out her sword.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 94.
She stabs the Boomer in the head just as the gate rises to
reveal her, and the momentum pushes the Boomer to skid
across the floor.
Sylia then rips the head off.
She flips onto the floor, then stabs the Boomer in the
torso.
Pause.
It falls to the floor dead.
Linna is on the other side of the gated section of the
corridor with Sylia.
Linna manages to get past Boomer 3s arms, and she cuts
the Boomer up with her ribbons.
She kicks its torso hard.
It falls to the ground dead.
Lisa continues to run down the corridor. This seems to
take an eternity.
She sees the open door leading to the sub control room,
with lights flashing from within it.
219 INT. SUB CONTROL ROOM. AD POLICE HQ - NIGHT.
Lisa appears at the door.
She sees Nene working at the computer.
Nene stops typing.
Nene turns around to see Lisa.
LISA:
Nene.
Pause.
Sylia and Linna appear behind Lisa.
SYLIA:
All done.
Linna sees the screens lit with red.
LINNA:
Red rhymes with dead. Time to
high tail?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 95.
NENE:
Its a self detruct. It turned on
when you defeated those Boomers.
And I have to stop it. Take Lisa
and get out of here.
MACKIE:
Ill back you up.
SYLIA:
Youre coming with us.
NENE:
No. I dont want to let thousands
lose their jobs because of one
robot. That doesnt make sense to
me. Plus I work here.
The spotlights on the HQ turn on and go red.
Daley watches.
DALEY:
Red rhymes with "get the hell out
of here".
Sylia and Linna fly out of the building carrying Lisa.
221 EXT. ENTRANCE STAIRS. GENOM TOWER - NIGHT.
Anries car arrives at the bottom of the stairs.
Madigan is at the top of the stairs, with two bodyguards.
The boot is popped open from the inside.
Largo and Anrie exit the car.
The Defence Minister, hands ties, crawls out of the boot
and lands on the floor.
He gets up and runs up the stairs.
DEFENCE MINISTER:
Madigan, call the police. This
freak kidnapped me. I wont let
that happen again.
Madigan takes out a pistol.
Madigan shoots the Defence Minister dead.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 96.
LARGO:
There goes my insurance.
MADIGAN:
There goes any risk of political
backdraft. We can handle fucking
riots, Brian, but we dont allow
ourselves to lose any power that
we worked so hard to gain.
LARGO:
I wrote that policy clause. You
should thank me.
MADIGAN:
Ill carve a thank you on your
grave.
222 INT. ELEVATOR. GENOM TOWER - NIGHT.
The external elevator that travels up the side of the
tower is mostly made of glass. Largo, Anrie, Madigan and
her two bodyguards are inside.
Anrie is against the glass, admiring the view.
Largo notices her.
MADIGAN:
Whos the girl?
LARGO:
A sexaroid from Genaros. My
witness.
Madigan rolls her eyes, and aims her pistol at Anrie.
Largo pushes Madigans arm just as she fires, making the
bullet shoot the glass next to Anrie.
LARGO:
Patience.
Madigan spits at Largos face.
LARGO:
Ouch.
The elevator door opens.
Largo headbutts Madigan, and she flies into the room.
The bodyguards attempt to grab Largo.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 97.
QUINCY:
Wait.
The bodyguards stop.
223 INT. CEO QUARTERS. GENOM TOWER - NIGHT.
Quincy, the elderly CEO, is at the other end of the large
room, sat behind his desk.
QUINCY:
Mason. What have you become?
Largo walks into the room. Anrie follows.
LARGO:
Power. What I want now is
control. I want the OMS to
eliminate people like you, to
make way for something better.
QUINCY:
Like me? So youll spare me when
you get your control? I always
knew youd threaten me one day.
Madigan recovers, and slowly gets up with the aid of her
guards.
MADIGAN:
How dare you assume that youre
in a position to make demands
here. You lost your raison detre
when you became a corpse. Im
glad I wont see you in hell.
Madigan points her pistol at Largo.
Quincy stands.
QUINCY:
Stop, Madigan. Do nothing. Im
not afraid.
LARGO:
Oh? Then Ill make you afraid. I
just destroyed four other Genom
towers with the orbital beam
satelite.
Pause.
QUINCY:
Screens on. Code 7.
Six screens appear on the wall.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 98.
Four of them show destroyed Genom towers from very distant
CCTV cameras.
Two screen show towers that are not yet destroyed.
Silence.
Quincy walks in front of the screens.
LARGO:
Oh look. I missed one.
Screen five shows a Genom Tower get blown up by a laser
beam from the sky.
This blast destroys the CCTV feed, making it turn into a
fuzzy screen.
Further silence.
Quincy closes his eyes.
MADIGAN:
Screens off.
The screens turn off.
MADIGAN:
Bastard. Only a fool would try to
destroy an empire. You just died.
Sir.
Madigan throws here pistol at Quincy, and he catches it.
Madigan gets up, with some help from a bodyguard.
MADIGAN:
Would you like to do the honours?
Pause.
LARGO:
This tower will be next if you
even try to end me. Youve lost
most of your power, so give me
whats left and the empire can be
swiftly rebuilt.
QUINCY:
No. The OMS gives the user
complete control over all
Boomers. Perhaps, its not so
wise to give that control to a
Boomer itself. Especially, when
that Boomer is insane.
Largo hits Quincy, and Quincy falls to the floor.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 99.
Madigan rushes to Quincys side. Quincy is conscious.
MADIGAN:
Insane? "Fucked" is more like it.
Kill the prick.
The guards mutate into Boomers, and surround Largo and
Anrie.
As they move towards Largo, Largo creates a force wave
which strikes the Boomers, making them explode.
224 EXT. CEO QUARTERS. GENOM TOWER - NIGHT.
The room explodes from the inside.
The structure still stands, though.
225 INT. SUB CONTROL ROOM. AD POLICE HQ - NIGHT.
Nene and Mackie continue to furiously type into the
computer to stop the self destruct.
226 EXT. ROOFTOP - NIGHT.
On the far way rooftop overlooking the AD Police HQ,
stands Sylia, Linna, and Lisa.
The building is still lit with red spotlights.
227 EXT. ROOFTOP 2 - NIGHT.
On another rooftop a long distance away, Priss walks along
it with her hardsuit on.
228 INT. CEO QUARTERS. GENOM TOWER - NIGHT.
The Boomer guards have been destroyed.
Madigan is dead.
Largo and Anrie stand in the centre of the room.
Quincy is still alive, on the floor, near the two.
He slowly gets up.
QUINCY:
Mason...
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 100.
LARGO:
Largo.
Quincy lifts his head into the moon light to reveal that
most of his face has been destroyed by Largos attack,
showing the mechanics behind his skin.
QUINCY:
Mason.
Largo pushes Quincy hard, sending him flying across the
room, out of the damaged windows, and into the city far
below.
ANRIE:
A Boomer. I couldnt tell.
LARGO:
I was sure this was where he
would be. It wouldnt surprise me
if there were other clones of him
wandering the Earth as a
camouflage. Never mind, though.
Well find him eventually. We can
last forever, after all. Lets
go.
Largo and Anrie head for the elevator.
Suddenly, Priss in her hardsuit crashes in from the glass
roof and lands on the floor in front of Largo and Anrie.
Pause.
PRISS:
Leave with me.
ANRIE:
Priss?
LARGO:
Its one of those who stood in
our way, and killed Sylvie in the
process.
Largo sends a force towards Priss, which pushes her back
hard into the wall behind her. This smashes her helmet
cover, revealing her face.
Largo picks up a large glass shard and gives it to Anrie.
LARGO:
If she were to pay for what she
did, then our journey can
progress. Kill her. For Sylvie.
Priss recovers slightly, but she is stabbed in the stomach
by Anrie.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 101.
Priss grabs Anries wrist before the glass shard goes in
completely.
ANRIE:
Why? Why couldnt you leave us
alone? What did you think you
could achieve by defeating us?
You all treat us like trash. I
hate you. You hear me? I hate
you.
Pause. Priss cries.
PRISS:
Im sorry. I know I had a choice,
and your beliefs are different to
mine, but when Boomers threaten
our world, whos going to remove
that threat? You? Him? If I did
nothing to Sylvie, then the city
would have been destroyed, and
you along with it. Sylvie did her
best to save you, but now I have
to try. Please forgive me, and
leave with me.
Another pause. Anrie pulls out the glass shard from Priss.
Priss falls to her knees.
Priss moves Anrie out the way, so she can see Largo.
Anrie sees the shards of glass on the floor starting to
shake.
ANRIE:
No.
Suddenly, Largo sends a force of wind across the ground,
launching multiple glass shards at Priss.
Anrie gets in the way.
The glass shards impale her.
Priss gets up to catch her.
Anrie lands into Priss, and they both get pushed into the
wall.
They land on the floor.
Priss gathers Anrie in her arms.
PRISS:
No. Anrie. Stay with me, okay?
Stay with me. If you die, then
what did Sylvie die for?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 102.
Pause.
ANRIE:
You fought for what you believe
in. Sylivie would be proud. I
have to go now. Theres no
freedom for me here. I probably
find it elsewhere.
Anrie dies.
PRISS:
No. I said "dont die".
Silence.
LARGO:
Dead? It merely ceased
functioning. Its a sexaroid,
after all. Anything can be
replaced. Why cant humans agree
with that? When cancer took away
my organs and surrogates born of
Boomers replaced them, I realised
that humans had ceased to
improve, and that it was time for
them to be replaced by something
better. I wanted to be more than
simply an observer, but human
instinct prevented me from
killing my human body, so that my
conscious could be free. But a
Knight Saber did it for me. After
the transfer, my thoery was
reinforced. Dont you see, Priss?
I have power. Your hard suit has
power. But humans like you have
so little. Your time as a species
is up.
Silence.
PRISS:
Worthless machine. If my hard
suit stops working, Ill cry a
river. If you stop working, Ill
piss on your remains.
Priss launches herself at Largo.
Largo dodges her tackle and Priss rolls across the floor
to stop herself.
She fires a needle at Largo.
Largo catches it.
Short pause.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 103.
LARGO:
Is this all your anger mounts up
to?
Largo flings the needle back at Priss.
It pierces Prisss shoulder, and the momentum from the hit
pushes her back.
229 EXT. ROOFTOP DECK. GENOM TOWER - NIGHT.
Priss crashes through the office window.
Her boosters fire up and slows down her fall.
She lands hard onto the rooftop deck below the office.
Largo appears at the smashed window.
Priss pulls out the needle in her shouler.
LARGO:
Painful, is it not? Ill kill you
with a thought.
Largo takes off his jacket.
He mutates to reveal himself as a human looking super
Boomer.
PRISS:
Shit.
LARGO:
Die like the dog you are.
Priss hears a sound. She looks to the tunnel entrances to
the rooftop deck.
Three large Boomers exit the tunnels.
They advance towards Priss.
Boomer 1 jumps up and is about to land on Priss.
Priss dodges Boomer 1 and attempts to punch it.
Boomer 1 dodges and it grabs Prisss head with one hand.
With the other hand Boomer 1 crushes the hard suit helmet.
Priss has detached from the helmet already, and she
forward rolls between Boomer 1s legs.
Boomer 2 punches Priss, dazing her.
Boomer 3 sends a harsh wave of air from its abdomen
ducts, sending Priss into a wall.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 104.
Priss lands onto the floor.
The three Boomers and Largo surround her.
LARGO:
Humiliating, is it not?
Largo kicks Priss and she slides across the floor. She
coughs up blood.
She opens her eyes and looks into the sky.
The four antagonists walk towards her.
PRISS:
I cant die like this. Must...
waste... this bastard.
From a distance, there is an explosion in the side of the
building.
The red spot lights slowly turn off.
231 EXT. ROOFTOP DECK. GENOM TOWER - NIGHT. (CONT.)
A crash.
The dust clears. Prisss exo suit has landed on the roof.
Boomer 1 advances towards the Exo Suit.
The Exo Suit desroys Boomer 1 quickly.
Priss gets up and runs towards the Exo Suit.
LARGO:
No.
The Exo Suit fires lasers at Largo, holding him back.
The Exo Suit opens to reveal a new edition of Prisss
hardsuit.
Priss ejects from her current hardsuit.
Priss jumps into her new hard suit, and it moulds around
her.
Priss steps out of the Exo Suit.
PRISS:
Ill make you more worthless.
Priss launches herself at Largo.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 105.
Boomers 2 and 3 stand in front of Largo, with Boomer 2 in
front of Boomer 3.
PRISS:
Youre in my way.
The Exo Suit tackles Boomer 2 and the two go off the side
of the rooftop.
Boomer 3 fires lasers at Priss.
Priss boosters blast out and she quickly slides across the
floor on her knees as the lasers fly over her.
Priss arrives then dives into Boomer 3, and her knuckle
bombs ensure that she creates a hole in Boomer 3 as she
jumps through it.
She rolls across the floor, and tries to dropkick Largo
with high momentum.
Largo easily dodges.
Largo fires a force at her, and Priss quickly jumps to the
side to barely avoid it.
The wall behind her is easily destroyed.
Priss lands on the floor, and cartwheels across it to
stop her momentum.
Boomer 3 falls to the ground dead.
Priss and Largo, distant to one another, exchange looks.
PRISS:
Anrie. Sylvie. Give me power.
Priss and Largo launch themselves at each other, right
fists first.
Their fists collide.
Silence.
Prisss hard suit right arm begins to crack.
Pause.
Largos right arms cracks even more.
Pause.
Largo screams as his right arms explodes.
Pause.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 106.
PRISS:
I... I did it.
Priss is about to fall onto her knees, but someone grabs
her.
Sylia in her hardsuit is holding her.
PRISS:
Sylia.
SYLIA:
Its okay, Priss. Breathe.
A airship hornet decends. It lands on the roof, at a
distance from Priss and Sylia.
Largo is on his knees.
LARGO:
The crime for injuring a god is
death.
SYLIA:
Oh no. Linna, his powers
returning.
Linna, wearing a large high tech Exo Suit holding a
bazooka, jumps out of the airship and onto the roof. Nene
jumps out, too.
Nenes hard suit has antennae on the back which open up.
The satellites on Linnas Exo Suit fire up too.
LINNA:
Patching in an error correction.
NENE:
North by 0.06 degrees. That
should do it.
Largo stand up and signals.
LARGO:
Pray and die.
SYLIA:
Fire.
LINNA AND NENE:
Fire.
A powerful laser fires from Linnas high tech bazooka into
the sky.
107.
232 EXT. ORBITAL BEAM SATTELITE. SPACE - NIGHT.
The OBS fires a laser.
Linnas laser shoots past the laser from the satellite,
and it strikes the satellite.
233 EXT. ROOFTOP DECK. GENOM TOWER - NIGHT. (CONT.)
The laser hits the roof, but between Priss / Sylia and
Largo.
It travels along the roof and consumes Largo.
Priss and Sylia look on.
Silence.
A fire remains.
Largo stands, burning in the fire.
LARGO:
(VO)
Sylia. Sylia Stingray.
SYLIA:
(VO)
You know me?
Priss, leaning on Sylia, can hear the voices.
PRISS:
(VO)
Voices?
LARGO:
(VO)
You and I are one of a kind.
Priss is shocked. She looks at Sylia.
Largos head mutates into a cannon.
Suddenly, Largo is shot in the head.
He loses his balance.
He falls off the edge of the roof.
Largo falls into the darkness.
Pause.
Priss looks around, and she sees an AD Police hornet in
the air near the Tower. Leon is inside, holding a smoking
sniper rifle.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 108.
PRISS:
Leon.
Leon salutes. The hornet flies away.
234 EXT. ROOFTOP DECK. GENOM TOWER - DAWN. (LATER)
The four Knight Sabers (Linna is now in her normal hard
suit) watch the sunrise with their helmets off.
NENE:
Do you think he survived?
LINNA:
No way. Nothing could survive a
fall that high.
SYLIA:
Come on, lets get out of here.
PRISS:
Wait. Theres one more.
Priss looks up to Quincys office.
235 EXT. SKY - DAWN.
The hornet carrying the Knight Sabers flies away.
Nene is standing in front of the HQ, where it has been
sealed off.
Lisa runs to Nene.
LISA:
Morning, Nene.
NENE:
Morning, Lisa. I guess this is
the day youve got to vamoose.
Sorry you didnt get your scoop.
LISA:
Its okay. I got a few photos of
those lasers that kept on
shooting from the sky last night
and gave them to the local press.
NENE:
Oh you took those? Youll be a
professional in no time.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 109.
LISA:
I wish. Well, this is goodbye.
Thanks for everything. I have
something for you.
Lisa gives an envelope to Nene.
NENE:
Thanks. Oh yeah, I have something
for you, too.
Nene gives Lisa a parcel.
NENE:
Its not from me, its from, you
know, us. The one in blue bought
it.
LISA:
A new camera, no doubt. I guess I
will be a pro in no time. So
long, Nene.
Lisa runs away.
Nene opens the envelope, and looks at the contents.
Pause.
Nene watches Lisa walk away.
237 EXT. GRAVEYARD - NIGHT.
Linna is at Irenes grave. She places a rose onto it.
Later, Linna walks through the graveyeard towards the
entrance.
She passes two gravestones. They belong to "Sylvie" and
"Anrie".
Both have roses on the graves.
238 INT. ROYS RESTAURANT - NIGHT.
A posh restaurant.
Priss and Sylia are at the table.

Priss knows that she is a Boomer.
Silence.

My parents and I are connected,
but were separate. I forgive you
for everything you said about
Boomers, and I forgive you in
advance.
Priss breaks down into tears.
Long silence.
She eventually calms down.
PRISS:
Hows the food, Sylia?
SYLIA:
The food tastes fine.
They eat.
