INT. LIVING ROOM – DAY
MS – We see two people sitting down on the sofa watching a video when the doorbell rings. One of the men is wearing a suit and tie and just sits there looking over at one of the other person who is dressed casually. The man with the suit on is called STEPHEN; Stephen points to one of the men signals him to get the door.
STEPHEN
Get the door
The other person who is sitting on the sofa dressed in a blue shirt and a pair of black jeans gets up and goes to answer the door.
CUT TO:
INT. HALLWAY – DAY
MS – The person with the blue shirt opens the door and sees a man standing there dressed in black jeans and a black jacket with black boots on wearing black sunglasses. The man standing at the door is called ETHAN.
ETHAN
(Looking speechless)
Is Steve here?
MAN IN BLUE SHIRT
(Flabbergasted)
Yeah, come on in
ETHAN
(Wiping shoes)
Thanks
CUT TO:
INT. LIVING ROOM – DAY
MS – We see Ethan take off his sunglasses and walk into the living room, walking over to the TV Ethan bends down and reaches for the off button. Before Ethan can switch the TV off Stephen switches off the TV for Ethan. Ethan pauses looks over his shoulder at Stephen and gives him an evil.
STEPHEN
(Looking angry)
What's this about?
ETHAN
(Looking tired and worn out)
She's back
STEPHEN
(Puzzled)
Who?
ETHAN
(Giving Stephen a look)
Chimera
Stephen sitting back in the sofa now pulls himself forward onto the edge of the sofa.
STEPHEN
(Folding his hands together)
Are you sure?
ETHAN
(Standing straight)
Yes
STEPHEN
(Worried)
How sure?
Ethan tilts his head to one side and back again; walking over to the window, Ethan pulls the netting back and looks at the clouds.
ETHAN
(Walking closer to Stephen)
A storms coming
STEPHEN
(Seriously)
I don't care about your weather forecasts Ethan; I want to know whether Chimera is back or not?
Ethan walks over to the sofa and places his hand down on the arm of the sofa and getting close to Stephens face.
ETHAN
(Whispering)
Chimera's back
STEPHEN
(Leaning back)
What evidence do you have?
ETHAN
(Giving Evils)
Enough
STEPHEN
(Looking down at some papers)
No one has ever seen Chimera, so what evidence do you have?
Ethan casually walks over to the papers on the sofa and picks up a magazine, flicking through the pages.
ETHAN
(Glancing at Stephen)
Tried phoning Darius yet?
STEPHEN
(Puzzled)
Why?
Ethan casually throws down the newspaper and grabbing a wooden chair sits on the chair facing the wrong way with the back of the chair facing Stephen.
ETHAN
(Resting his arms on the back of the chair)
He's dead. Style equals Chimera, need I say more.
STEPHEN
(Sitting back contemplating)
What does she want?
ETHAN
(Looking up at the ceiling)
Nice ceiling
STEPHEN
(Smiling)
I forgot you admire Chimera for her style
ETHAN
(False smile)
Oh yeah definitely, I want her to have my babies.
(Pause)
What the fuck do you think I'm on? LSD? Come on I'm a professional
STEPHEN
(Angry)
Professional what?
ETHAN
(Puzzled)
Killer
STEPHEN
(Irritated)
Thanks now get out of here.
ETHAN
Don't say I didn't warn you
Ethan gets up and turns the chair to the way it was and reaching for the remote control switches on the TV before walking out.
CUT TO:
INT. HALLWAY – DAY
MS – Ethan opens the door and glances at the man in the blue shirt and smiles.
MAN IN BLUE SHIRT
What's so funny?
ETHAN
(Pulling a puzzled look)
Hmm…
(Pausing)
Blue
The man in the blue shirt just stands there gormless and lifeless as Ethan opens the door and walks out
CUT TO:
EXT. STREET – DAY
LONG SHOT – We see Ethan walking up the street placing the sunglasses back on we zoom into him as he looks up at the sky. In the distance an EXPLOSION is heard, Ethan stops, pauses and then carries on.

CUT TO BLACK:
TITLE - CREDITS
FADE IN:
TWELVE MONTHS EARLIER
EXT. SHOPPING CENTRE – DAY
MS – We see a lone woman walking down the promenade of a shopping centre and going into a vats amount of space with paving stones and wooden seats with steel rubbish bins dotted around the place. There is also a lift and a stairwell to get to the upper levels of the shopping centre; where there is access to the car park. The lone woman stops and placing a pair of purple sunglasses on clocks the space and the architecture of the shopping centre. The woman then proceeds to walk up the stairs and spot the public library. Walking over to the public library entrance, the lone woman takes off her glasses and enters the library.
CUT TO:
INT. LIBRARY - DAY
The library is dated as the green carpet and the chipboard laminated with fake wood shows the date. Walking down the aisle the woman just glances until she sees the aisle on children's rights and welfare. Turning into the aisle the woman runs her finger down the books on the shelves and stops at one. Looking at the book, she flicks the book out with one hand and carefully opening the book. The woman finds an envelope marked Bellerophon, opening the envelope the woman finds a bundle of money with a floppy disk inside and instructions. Pausing to partially read the book, the lone woman places the book back and places the envelope with the cash and the floppy disk into her pocket. The lone woman just stares out the window for a few moments.
CUT TO:
INT. CAR PARK – DAY
MS – We see Ethan sitting on the bonnet of a car reading a newspaper, casually glancing around every few minutes before he goes back to reading his paper. We then see another car pull up, as Ethan glances around Ethan spots the other car and walks over always casually glancing around. The car pulls up to a complete stop as Ethan goes to the side of it.
TWO-SHOT - Then a man called JAMES wearing a casual suit gets out and starts talking to Ethan while they walk.
ETHAN
(Glancing around)
Why am I here?
JAMES
(Looking around)
Because we need your expertise
Ethan stops, turns and places his arm in front of James to stop him; James immediately stops and turns to Ethan.
ETHAN
(Puzzled)
What for?
JAMES
Just to tie up so loose ends
ETHAN
(Looking at James)
What (Pause) can't the firm tie it's own shoelaces?
JAMES
(To Ethan puzzled)
In this situation we need someone who (pause) shall we say is independent of the firm
Ethan pulls out his blue sunglasses and wipes them with his jacket while he talks to James. Ethan and James continue walking round the car park.
ETHAN
Independent, that's a new one. I thought you guys had your own watchdog
JAMES
We do (pause) but we need someone who can operate independently
ETHAN
You mean someone who could be disavowed
JAMES
This isn't Mission Impossible
ETHAN
(Grinning)
I never said it was
JAMES
Well your acting like it
ETHAN
Maybe it's because you sent me a message through a cash machine
JAMES
Well it got the job done
Ethan casually looks around and a small grin appears
ETHAN
Suppose
James takes out a portfolio and hands it to Ethan while there walking. The car then pulls up alongside James and the door opens.
JAMES
Do you want the job or not?
ETHAN
All right I'll take the job, all the usual fees apply
JAMES
Understand… (Pause) Swiss bank account?
ETHAN
Zurich
JAMES
Name of account
ETHAN
Isis
JAMES
Still keeping up your knowledge of Egyptian history
ETHAN
Comes in handy
Ethan just smiles and closes the car door when James is getting in.
MS – The car drives off and living Ethan with an envelope and an awe of unease in the air. Ethan looks at his watch at walks back to the car.
CUT TO:
INT. BEDROOM – DAY
MS – Ethan is sitting at his desk, when he takes the envelope and takes out the disk and inserts the disk into the drive. Ethan then clicks onto the floppy drive and then clicks on the html file. The first page has for eyes-only written on it. Ethan then scans down the document quickly, stopping at a photo and resting back in his chair grabs the glass of water that is beside him and takes a sip.
CUT TO:
EXT. PARK – DAY
LONG SHOT – We see two men dressed in suits, talking on a park bench. As we get closer we can see that one of the men is James, the person who hired Ethan. The other person is Stephen. James is glancing around looking at the scenery while Stephen is just glancing down at the newspaper he's holding on in his hands.
JAMES
Tell me Stephen, how much are we hiring Ethan for?
STEPHEN
Twenty two million pounds
JAMES
That's it
STEPHEN
Yes, he'll get the job done
JAMES
Couldn't we hire someone else?
STEPHEN
There's only one other person who has the same skill set as Ethan and she's elusive
James glances over his shoulder as he hears someone shout, James then glances back round to continue talking to Stephen.
STEPHEN
You shouldn't be so paranoid
JAMES
Sorry, you were saying
STEPHEN
The only other person is a women
JAMES
What's her name?
STEPHEN
I haven't a clue
JAMES
Doesn't that worry you?
STEPHEN
No, she has a code name of Chimera
JAMES
That's Greek Mythology
STEPHEN
Well-done, Ethan studies Egyptian history and mythology and Chimera studies Greek mythology
JAMES
Have you seen Chimera?
STEPHEN
No one has ever seen Chimera
JAMES
A bit like the Jackal
STEPHEN
The Jackal wouldn't stand a chance against this girl; she's good
JAMES
How good
STEPHEN
Your worst nightmares will come true with Chimera
James turns his head and looks at Stephen, James's face is white and his eyes are dilated with shock.
STEPHEN
Yes. That's why we hired Ethan because Chimera is working for someone else who is after the same goal as we are
JAMES
Why don't we let Chimera do the job and we take the credit
STEPHEN
Not as simple as that (pause) different government
JAMES
Who trained Chimera in the first place?
Stephen
We don't know, all we know is that she's got a handler and that the handler is totally loyal to her
JAMES
So the handler knows what she looks like?
STEPHEN
No
Stephen looks at his watch and taps James on the shoulder with his folded up newspaper.
STEPHEN
I've got to go, nice talking to you
JAMES
I'll talk to you later
CUT TO:
INT. CAR – DAY
MS – Ethan is in a parked car on the side of the road opposite a school, the road isn't busy as Ethan looks in his mirror to see if there any cars coming. Ethan then enters a telephone number into his mobile phone, the phone rings. Ethan eventually gets an answer; the person on the other end is James.
FILTERED – JAMES
Hello
ETHAN
Hello James
JAMES
Isis, how are you?
ETHAN
Cut the bullshit and tell me why Chimera is on the job as well?
JAMES
I only found out that Chimera is on the job when my superior told me; besides Chimera is working for another government
ETHAN
Wrong answer James, Chimera is working for you
JAMES
I don't know what you mean
ETHAN
That's complete bullshit James and you know it
Ethan presses the end call button leaving James on the other end worried. Ethan looks in the rear view mirror, checking the car is in neutral, Ethan starts the engine a low HUMMING noise is heard coming from the engine. Ethan puts the car into gear and drives off.
CUT TO:

MS – James is sitting in his car by the side of the road, shocked as he nervously presses the end call button and dials a number after which he tries to press the dial out button misses, James takes a deep breath and tries again he hits the call out button and the phone starts to dial out. Stephen picks up the phone.
FILTERED – STEPHEN
Hello
JAMES
Stephen
STEPHEN
Speaking
JAMES
It's James, I've just got a call from Isis and he said that Chimera is working for our government
STEPHEN
How did Isis get your number?
JAMES
I don't know, all I know is that he's pretty upset and wanting some answers
STEPHEN
What about the job?
JAMES
He's still on the job
STEPHEN
Good, keep it that way; any luck and Ethan will be the first person to identify Chimera
JAMES
All right but I don't like the situation we're in
STEPHEN
James don't worry, it'll work out just fine
JAMES
You sure?
STEPHEN
Positive, goodbye
Stephen hangs up the phone, after that James is a little calmer though he's still taking deep breaths. James presses the end call button and puts his mobile phone away. James starts the car and looking at his rear view drives off.

ETHAN
Hello James, what a pleasant surprise
JAMES
Definitely I'm feeling like its Christmas all over again
ETHAN
I need a certain weapon
JAMES
What kind of weapon?
ETHAN
The kind that you don't find on the Christmas list
JAMES
You mean the Heckler & Koch MSG90 Sniper Rifle
Ethan places his hand on the passenger side door and leans closer to James as he whispers something to James.
ETHAN
(Whispering, in a serious tone)
That one. Yes.
JAMES
I'm afraid I can't old boy it's been banned from use in this country. Sorry Isis.
Ethan cringes and slams his hand on the passenger side door as he goes in closer.
ETHAN
Damn! So your telling me that I can't get the MSG90? No matter what?
JAMES
That's right
ETHAN
I needed the penetrative power
JAMES
Why? Don't you do the up close and personal service?
ETHAN
(Giving evils)
Up close and personal on this job is undesirable especially with Chimera on the job as well
JAMES
Anything else?
ETHAN
Can you get a hold of an MP5SD?
JAMES
I'll try but no promises
ETHAN
Understood, bye
Ethan disappears off into the shadows as James signals his driver to drive off, leaving Ethan in the car park heading back to his car.

ETHAN
Nice place you've got here
STEPHEN
Thank you
ETHAN
I need a MSG90 or MP5SD to do the job
STEPHEN
Isis, MSG90 cannot be legally obtained or used in this country; you should know that.
ETHAN
Chimera is on the job, she's lethal
STEPHEN
MP5 I can't deliver, it'll link you with this organisation
ETHAN
Nice cover by the way
Stephen just acknowledges Ethan's comment by a head gesture.
ETHAN
What weapon can you give me?
STEPHEN
The goal posts have changed Isis
Ethan places his hands on the desk and leans over towards Stephen.
ETHAN
So I'm going in cold am I?
STEPHEN
You can handle it
ETHAN

STEPHEN

ETHAN
(Getting irritated)
You knew and you failed to inform me
STEPHEN
(Getting agitated)
Why should we inform you when you already knew?
ETHAN
(Staring at Stephen)
Professional courtesy
STEPHEN

Ethan takes his hands off the desks and walks around the office.

ETHAN
Goodbye

MAN
Well, well if it isn't Isis
ETHAN
What do you want?
MAN
Father Christmas has arrived early
ETHAN
(Sarcastically)
Oh I'm so excited
MAN
Thought you might
The man turns to the other two men, the man nods his head as he does this one of the men standing at the car bends down and reaches into the car. The man talking to Ethan walks back towards the car, Ethan follows his moves exactly always-glancing round to check the area. The man at the car hands the man who was talking to Ethan a small suitcase. The man walks towards Ethan holding the suitcase, the suitcase is fairly long and rectangular. The man gets to Ethan and places the suitcase on the floor and unlatches the locks and carefully opens it. Ethan crouches down and casually glances over it.
ETHAN
Impressive
MAN
Thought you might like it
ETHAN
Would have preferred the MSG90 though
MAN
I know but the MP5 will hold its own during up close and personal
ETHAN
Thanks
MAN
Good luck, I hear Chimeras on the job
CUT TO:
EXT. GARDEN – NIGHT
P.O.V – We see a back garden through night vision, the garden has a shed with a palm tree in the garden. The person turns round and sees some equipment covered in a waterproof sheet. The person glances round, noticing some windows. The person carefully runs underneath them and crouches under them. Carefully moving along crouching the person carefully peers round the corner.
CUT TO:
EXT. STREET – DAY
MS – We see Ethan walking along the street finalising the details of the job when he comes across an unmarked police car at the house with CID coming out.

CUT TO:
EXT. STREET – DAY
TWO-SHOT – We see two men sitting on a bench in front of a canal. One of the men is holding a newspaper; the other has a black portfolio folder by his side lying on the bench.
JAMES
Well that went well
Stephen looks at James and just stares at him with a blank expression on his face.
STEPHEN
(Looking out over the Thames)
I thought Isis would be more careful than that
JAMES
What makes you think it was Isis?
STEPHEN
(Looks at James)
Why do you think it could have been Chimera?
JAMES
(Looking over at the Thames)
Possible, since Chimera was on the same job
STEPHEN
(Leaning back)
What you think that Isis is more careful?
JAMES
(Leaning forward)
It's not his style, not to kill them that way
STEPHEN
(Looking at James)
So we have a dilemma, it's Isis or Chimera
JAMES
If it's Isis then he got the job done for us
STEPHEN
If it's Chimera
JAMES
Then we have to start digging and find out why Chimera was sent to do the job
CUT TO:
EXT. STREET – DAY
LONG SHOT – We see Ethan walking towards a bench with two men sitting on it. Ethan is wearing a short black jacket with blue shirt and black jeans with boots. As he approaches the men sitting on the bench he looks round and notices the black portfolio by the side of one of the men.
MS – As Ethan approaches the two men he takes out a short knife with a black handle on it and hides it with his hand. As James and Stephen sit on the bench Ethan approaches behind them and crouching down Ethan interrupts their conversation.
ETHAN
Look what we got here
Stephen quickly turns round and gets a surprise when he sees Isis leaning over them and fidgeting as he feels a point in his back.
STEPHEN
(Irritated)
What's the point of this?
ETHAN
What's the point of trying to send me on a job that's already been carried out?
JAMES
We only found out that the job had been done today, we thought it might have been you
ETHAN
Me, that's a laugh when have I been reckless
STEPHEN
You've been reckless enough times
James turns round looking at Ethan; he looks down and notices the knife pointing into Stephens back.
JAMES
Is that really necessary?
ETHAN
It's for protection
STEPHEN
So how did you find us?
ETHAN
That's not fair now is it?
JAMES
Suppose not
ETHAN
So what can you tell me about the little incident that happened two days ago?
STEPHEN
We were hoping you could tell us
ETHAN
I doubt it; it's Chimera's work
JAMES
You think
ETHAN
Probably
STEPHEN
What now?
ETHAN
I don't know; nice building you work at
JAMES
What are you some kind of artist?
ETHAN
Of course, in this job you have to be
STEPHEN
Enough of the small talk; Isis your new job will be a search and destroy mission.
ETHAN
Search and destroy what?
STEPHEN
Not What, Who (Pause) Chimera to be precise
ETHAN
Chimera! (Pause) You have got to be joking
Stephen turns to face Ethan as Ethan crouches behind them.
STEPHEN
(Looking at Ethan)
You heard me Isis, I want you to find and kill Chimera
ETHAN
(Looking into Stephen's eyes)
No (Pause) I did the job; it wasn't my fault someone else decided to hire Chimera.
STEPHEN
You won't get your forty four million pounds
ETHAN
(Irritated)
I don't care
James turns round and is about to speak but goes quiet when a female jogger is seen running past the back of the bench.
JAMES
(Looking at Ethan)
What is it with you and Chimera?
ETHAN
Nothing is between us it's just that it's professional courtesy
STEPHEN
As I told you before Isis it doesn't exist
Ethan looks at Stephen and then glances round to the back and to the sides where he is crouching. Ethan grabs Stephens tie and pulls it back and so Stephen is looking at him.
STEPHEN
(Shocked)
What the hell are you doing Isis?
ETHAN
(Irritated)
Demonstrating professional courtesy
STEPHEN
(Grabbing his tie)
Okay, you made your point
ETHAN
(Letting go of Stephen)
I'm not going after Chimera
JAMES
(To Ethan)
Not even if we double the offer to eighty eight million
Ethan mulls it over, looking at his watch. He whispers in James's ear and leaves.
ETHAN
(Whispering)
No
Ethan looks around; Ethan then decides to walk off. Stephen and James both look round to see where Ethan had disappeared to.
STEPHEN
(Looking at James)
That was a turn up for the books; turning down eighty eight million
JAMES
(Looking out over the river)
Yes, I wonder why he won't kill Chimera
STEPHEN
Bellerophon is already alerted to the situation
JAMES
Using Bellerophon would create similar problems to that of Chimera
STEPHEN
(Looks at James)
We know who Bellerophon is
JAMES
(Turning to Stephen)
But is she controllable
STEPHEN
(Turning to James and then leaning forward looking at the Thames)
Do you think I would hire a maverick?
JAMES
(Leaning forward looking down)
You hired Isis
STEPHEN
Yes and look at where it got us
JAMES
Sometimes I think Isis is hiding something about Chimera
STEPHEN
Perhaps (Pause) but it'll be all over soon
JAMES
What are we going to do about Isis?
STEPHEN
Pay him his original amount
Stephen gets up and walks off to the right where James is left sitting on the bench looking over the Thames.
CUT TO:
INT. BEDROOM – DAY
MS – Ethan is at his desk on his computer. Looking at his screen Ethan brings up a newsgroup program and looks for newsgroups discussing Greek mythology. Ethan then finds a string of newsgroups and starts to browse the contents. Ethan is looking for anything to do with Chimera; eventually Ethan comes across a newsgroup dealing with Greek mythology opening up the newsgroup Ethan finds a post that recently been posted discussing the effects of a Chimera in the world today. Clicking on the post Ethan opens up the post and starts to read the post looking for any errors in the post. Ethan grabbing a piece of paper and pen starts writing down a message while skimming through the post. Looking down at the piece of paper he sees the message that was generated.
The message is a warning to Chimeras handler that Chimera is in danger and that Bellerophon is on the case. Ethan then folds the piece of paper and tears the paper into small pieces.
CUT TO:
EXT. PARK – DAY
MS – James sits on a park bench watching time go by. As Ethan approaches behind him, Ethan gets to the side of James and sits down on the bench next to him.
TWO-SHOT – James noticing Ethan sitting down looks at him for a few seconds and then turns away looking towards the distance.
JAMES
(Turning to Ethan)
What do you want?
ETHAN
(Looking into the distance)
Why are you going to kill Chimera?
JAMES
(Looking at Ethan)
Still doesn't answer my question
ETHAN
(Looking at James)
I want to know why you're going to kill Chimera
JAMES
(Looking into the distance)
The firm cannot risk Chimera being loose after the annihilation of the previous job
ETHAN
(Turning to James)
How do you know that was Chimera? What about Bellerophon?
JAMES
(Turning to Ethan)
Bellerophon was made aware of the situation but what would she have to gain? Plus it has Chimera written all over it.
ETHAN
I'm not to sure somehow
JAMES
You know something that we don't?
ETHAN
Perhaps
JAMES
(Turning to Ethan)
Hmm… (Pause) I'm not suppose to tell you this but Bellerophon has been hired to find and kill Chimera
ETHAN
(Turning to Ethan)
What's her price tag?
JAMES
Forty four million
ETHAN
(Turning to James and then looking into the distance)
That cheap
JAMES
(Turning to Ethan)
Compared to what we offered you for the job
ETHAN
(Looking at James)
Suppose so
JAMES
Look Isis, whatever relationship you have with Chimera will come to an abrupt end very shortly
ETHAN
(Turning to James)
So Bellerophon is going to kill Chimera
JAMES
(Looking down and then turning to Ethan)
Yes. Unless you're going to do something reckless
ETHAN
(Looking at James)
I like to call them calculated risks
JAMES
Calculated risks (Pause) interesting
Ethan gets up and turning to James before Ethan walks off
ETHAN
(Looking at James)
Not Really
MS – Ethan walks off, leaving James sitting on the bench in the park looking into the distance.
James looks at Ethan walking off and looking into the distance, he whispers something under his breath.
JAMES
(Whispering)
Why do I get the feeling that this whole city is going to become a battleground?
CUT TO:
EXT. CAR PARK – DAY
MS – Ethan is in the car park leaning against the bonnet of the car; Ethan looks to his right when he hears a car ENGINE approaching. Getting up from leaning against the car bonnet Ethan looks at the car as it comes to a halt. In the car are a woman driver and a passenger; as Ethan approaches the car, the passenger side window partially opens allowing an envelope to be passed out with a post it note stuck on it. Ethan takes the envelope and looking down on it sees the message of To Ethan, hope this helps.
Before Ethan can thank the passenger the window is closed and the car is driving off. Ethan then walks back to his car and placing the envelope on the passenger seat, starts the car and drives off.

EXT. PARK – DAY
TWO-SHOT – Stephen and James are sitting on a bench in a park looking over a pond. Stephen has a newspaper folded with the crossword showing and is seen to be attempting the crossword.
STEPHEN
(Concentrating on the crossword)
Bellerophon has accepted the job, now all we need to do is wait
JAMES
Somehow I don't think it's going to be as simple as that
STEPHEN
(Doodling on the paper)
What you think Isis is going to interfere?
JAMES
(Pause) I think that this city is going to get turned into a battleground
STEPHEN
(Pause) When have you been worried about turning the city into a battleground?
JAMES
Since the Osiris incident
STEPHEN
(Pause) That was an unfortunate incident
JAMES
An unfortunate incident that nearly disbanded the firm
STEPHEN
(Pause) You know the risks as well as I do James
JAMES
Is it worth it? Going after Chimera is one hell of a risk that we can't afford to fail
STEPHEN
(Looking around)
(Pause) Point taken but this time the police won't be involved from the start
JAMES
(Looking at Stephen)
Your going to make it look like a gang war
STEPHEN
Best way to hide it
JAMES
What makes you think that Bellerophon didn't set this up?
STEPHEN
What would Bellerophon have to gain by creating a war?
JAMES
(Pause) I just don't know
STEPHEN
If you're that unsure why don't you hire Isis to turn this into a real battleground?
JAMES
(Pause) May take you up on that offer Stephen
Smiling James gets up and walks off leaving Stephen sitting on the bench.
CUT TO:
EXT. CAR PARK – DAY
TWO-SHOT – Stephen and Bellerophon and standing opposite each other.
BELLEROPHON
(Looking at Stephen)
I thought we were never to meet
STEPHEN
(Pause) Things change
BELLEROPHON
Don't worry I'll find and kill Chimera
STEPHEN
I'm not worried about Chimera; I'm worried about Isis
BELLEROPHON
When you say Isis, you mean the Isis?
STEPHEN
The one involved in the Osiris incident, yes.
BELLEROPHON
You think that Isis may get involved and prevent Chimera from getting killed?
STEPHEN
Yes
BELLEROPHON
What do want me to do about it?
STEPHEN
Kill him if necessary
BELLEROPHON
So what was on the disks?
STEPHEN
That's on a need to know basis
BELLEROPHON
I'm the one holding all the aces
With that Bellerophon flashes up three CD's. Stephen's eyes dilate.
STEPHEN
I thought I told you to destroy the CD's
BELLEROPHON
I thought that I might need some insurance, just in case you decided to do a double cross
STEPHEN
There is no room for error in this game Bellerophon
BELLEROPHON
Why?
STEPHEN
Isis is going to be tracking you down and trying to protect Chimera
BELLEROPHON
(Pause) He's got a strong attachment to Chimera without knowing who she is
STEPHEN
You have been warned
BELLEROPHON
What about the price
STEPHEN
Twenty two million
BELLEROPHON
Euros or Sterling
STEPHEN
Sterling
BELLEROPHON
Convert it to Euros
STEPHEN
As you wish (Pause) just make sure you get the job done
BELLEROPHON
Don't worry I will
CUT TO:
INT. BEDROOM – NIGHT
MS – Ethan is looking over a file on his desk with a cup of tea next to him. The computer is folded up and placed to one side while the folder is open with notes and letters. Ethan is leaning back in his chair when he glancing through the letter he spots Stephen's old code name and partner. Ethan takes the computer and loads it up.
Ethan looking at the computer picks the newsgroup that he thought Chimera was in and then goes to the website of that newsgroup. Ethan scanning through the information sees another code name that he recognises, Leaning back and twiddling a pen.
ETHAN
Well, Well so that's why you wanted that place destroyed
CUT TO:
EXT. PARK – DAY
TWO-SHOT – Ethan and James are standing under a tree talking surrounded by people out for a walk etc.
ETHAN
(Looking at James)
So when did Stephen join the firm?
JAMES
(Puzzled)
Why do you ask?
ETHAN
(Looking around)
Something I saw in some documentation
JAMES
(Placing his hands in his pockets)
What documentation?
ETHAN
(Smiling)
I got a hold of some of the firm's classified documents
JAMES
(Surprised)
Really, so is that why you called me out here?
ETHAN
(Looking at James)
Yes
JAMES
(Glancing around)
Tell me something that I don't know
ETHAN
(Looking at James in the eye)
Chimera wasn't on the job, Bellerophon was.
JAMES
(Shocked)
Bellerophon?
ETHAN
(Looking at James)
Seems that Stephen and Bellerophon were partners in business together when the firm hired them. (Pause)
To cut a long story short the firm went missing a few million and when Bellerophon disappeared after the Osiris incident (Pause) that left a gap for Stephen to fill
JAMES
(Looking at Ethan)
So what you're saying is that the job you were hired for was to make sure that…
ETHAN
(Looking at James)
When Bellerophon went missing she took three compact disks with her with all the necessary information to get Stephen disavowed from the firm (Pause) However Bellerophon wanted to stay in this game and thus became a contact of Stephen.
JAMES
(Puzzled)
So when Stephen contacted me to get you on the job he was in fact trying to eliminate his past and free himself from Bellerophon
ETHAN
(Glancing round)
So it wasn't Chimera who carried out the job, it was Bellerophon
JAMES
(Puzzled)
So where does Chimera fit into this
ETHAN
(Looking around)
This isn't Chimera's war. Chimera is the escape goat
JAMES
(Looking at Ethan)
How do you know you can trust me?
ETHAN
(Smiling)
The firm bought you in after the Osiris incident to investigate Bellerophon disappearance. That's why you warned me about Chimera.
JAMES
(Impressed)
Impressive
ETHAN
(Smiles)
Thank you
JAMES
(Looking around)
As you know I can't help you but what I can say is good luck
ETHAN
(Looks at James)
Thanks
Ethan and James split off and go their separate ways. Ethan walks off behind the tree while James walks along a nearby footpath going through the park.
CUT TO:
INT. CAR – DAY
MS – James is in his car sitting in the drivers seat, he looks down and sees a newspaper. As James looks up and goes to start the car he feels a sharp pain in his back. James feels his back and looking at his hand sees blood finally the whole of James body slumps to one side.
CUT TO:

CUT TO:
EXT. CAR PARK – DAY
TWO-SHOT – Stephen and Bellerophon are standing opposite each other in the car park. Their cars parked behind them, Stephen is leaning on the bonnet of the car, while Bellerophon is leaning against a post of the car park.
STEPHEN
(Looking around)
I read the newspapers
BELLEROPHON
(Looking at Stephen)
(Pause) It was an unfortunate incident that had to be done
STEPHEN
(Looking at Bellerophon)
Killing James wasn't part of the deal
BELLEROPHON
(Looking at Stephen)
You want Chimera dead, we need a legal reason to sanction her killing (Pause) agree?
STEPHEN
(Irritated)
I don't like it
BELLEROPHON
(Looking at Stephen)
You don't have to like it, just deal with it
STEPHEN
(Looking at Bellerophon)
And what happens when Isis shows up?
BELLEROPHON
(Looking at Stephen)
Isis won't be a problem, besides we'll just play Chimera against Isis and let them two kill each other
STEPHEN
(Looking at Bellerophon)
How do you know that Chimera will go after Isis?
BELLEROPHON
(Looking at Stephen)
Trust me
STEPHEN
(Irritated)
Look at where it got us. James is dead; Isis is probably coming after us and not forgetting Chimera
BELLEROPHON
(Looking at Stephen)
Stop worrying and relax, my plan is going to schedule (Pause) apart from the unfortunate incident with James
STEPHEN
(Distressed)
I hope so, for your sake
BELLEROPHON
(Looking at Stephen)
Why are you going to kill me?
STEPHEN
(Irritated)
I can sanction your killing
BELLEROPHON
(Arrogantly)
How would you explain the CDs away?
STEPHEN
(Looking at Bellerophon)
I wouldn't need to (Pause) you would be classed as a criminal and therefore the CDs would be another plan of yours to set me up
BELLEROPHON
(Glancing away)
How do you know that I haven't planned for that circumstance?
STEPHEN
(Thinking)
I don't but your going to have to trust me
BELLEROPHON
(Looking at Stephen)
Then we're in agreement
STEPHEN
(Looking at Bellerophon)
For now (Pause) yes
BELLEROPHON
Good

CHIMERA
(Softly)
Hello Ethan
ETHAN
(Turning head to the right)
Hello Emma
CHIMERA
How are you?
ETHAN
I'm fine
CHIMERA
You know Bellerophon is going to kill you
ETHAN
I guessed that but Bellerophon is going to kill you
CHIMERA
I know (Pause) do you think I would be in this business if I didn't know what was going on
ETHAN
Possibly
CHIMERA
You under estimate me, Ethan
ETHAN
Not this time
CHIMERA
What are you suggesting?
ETHAN
Mutual co-operation
CHIMERA
Sounds promising
ETHAN
We need the discs
CHIMERA
So you're suggesting that I co-operate with you in getting the discs
ETHAN
Yes
CHIMERA
Then what
Ethan stops and turns round looking at Chimera
ETHAN
Then we've got something to bargain with
CHIMERA
Do you think they're going to let us live after we've got the discs?
ETHAN
No (Pause) but the firm will since they have you and possibly me down for the killing; we give them the discs showing that Bellerophon and Stephen are linked together.
CHIMERA
Linked (Pause) how?
ETHAN
Osiris Incident (Pause) Before your time
CHIMERA
(Looking at Ethan)
Before my time
ETHAN
You weren't involved then
CHIMERA
I wasn't involved in anything (Pause) then
ETHAN
(Pause)… Still bitter
CHIMERA
Can you blame me?
ETHAN
(Smiling)
Let's not get personal feelings get in the way of business
CHIMERA
I like your take on this situation (Pause) Business
ETHAN
I don't mix personal attachments with business even if it means making a call against a friend
CHIMERA
(Stares at Ethan aimlessly)
You'll go against your own friend if you thought he did something wrong
ETHAN
(Looking at Chimera)
Yes (Pause) As I said you don't mix personal feelings with business there separate entities
CHIMERA
(Irritated)
I don't understand you sometimes
ETHAN
You don't need to understand me; you just need to know where I'm coming from
CHIMERA
Ethan I don't know where you're coming from though; I don't understand you
Ethan looks at Chimera with puppy dog eyes, while Chimera stares at Ethan aimlessly.
CHIMERA
(Looking at Ethan)
Don't give me that look Ethan
ETHAN
(Looking surprised)
What look?
CHIMERA
(Looking at Ethan)
You know the one (Pause) Acting all innocent on me
ETHAN
(Smiling)
I don't do those sorts of looks
CHIMERA
(Smiling)
Still the same old Ethan
ETHAN
What Charming, good looking, intelligent?
CHIMERA
Well at least one of those is correct
ETHAN
Charming!
CHIMERA
(Looks behind Ethan)
Duck
TWO-SHOT – Ethan ducks as a foot swings past his; Ethan turns round and going to punch the attacker. Looks at Chimera.
ETHAN
(Loud)
Watch your back
CHIMERA
Thanks
Chimera looks to the side and notices a person coming up behind her. Chimera brings up her right fist and smacks the attacker in the face; Chimera then brings her left foot up between the legs of the attacker. The attacker bends over in pain, glancing up sees the foot of Chimera swinging round and knocking the attacker to the floor. The attacker tries and gets up but Chimera swings round knocking the attacker out.
Ethan is still engaged with the attacker when Chimera swings round, the attacker knocks Ethan to the floor and turns round only to see Chimera. Swinging round and leaning back to go into a high kick. The foot swings into the attackers chest with the resultant force knocking the attacker backwards; Ethan swings round and hits the attacker in the chest again knocking him over and making the attacker go unconscious.
Chimera walks over to Ethan who is brushing off some of the dirt on his clothes. Looking up at Chimera tired and out of breath.
ETHAN
(Out of breath)
Looks like we're going to have to work together
CHIMERA
(Looking around)
Suppose so
ETHAN
Definitely
CHIMERA
(Looking at Ethan)
So, what's your plan?
ETHAN
(Looking at Chimera)
My plan
CHIMERA
(Soft voice)
You do have a plan right?
ETHAN
(Smiling)
Of course

EXT. STREET – DAY
MS – Ethan is standing near a car, glancing around Ethan notices a car pulling up the street. Ethan stands up straight and placing his hand in his pocket, Ethan turns towards the car as it slows down and stops in front of Ethan. Hazard lights start blinking and TRE gets out of the drivers side and walks over to Ethan. Standing face to face with Ethan.
TRE
Hello Isis
ETHAN
Tré
TRE
Why did you call me here?
ETHAN
I've got something you want
TRE
What's that?
ETHAN
Evidence
TRE
Evidence?
ETHAN
Ever found out how a certain somebody got tipped off in the Osiris incident
TRE
No
ETHAN
I've got the answer
TRE
Really?
ETHAN
(Pause)
TRE
(Overlap)
I'm interested
ETHAN
(Glancing around)
Thought you might
TRE
Go on
ETHAN
I need breathing space for Chimera and myself
TRE
Working with Chimera, so how is Chimera? Isn't Chimera your…[daughter?]
Ethan butts in before Tré has time to finish
ETHAN
She's fine
TRE
So she hasn't gotten herself killed then
ETHAN
No, this is her last job
TRE
Do you think?
ETHAN
(Pause) Probably (Pause) no, not really
TRE
How much breathing space do you need?
ETHAN
Over rule Stephen's command
TRE
On what guarantee?
ETHAN
That I bring you evidence that will find your traitor and James's killer
TRE
You've got three days
ETHAN
That's all?
TRE
Ethan, you better deliver and (Pause) reconsider joining the firm
ETHAN
Perhaps (Pause) if you guarantee Chimera's identity and safety
TRE
We'll talk about that later
Ethan just nods and Tré gets back into his car and drives off.
CUT TO:
EXT. STREET – NIGHT
Ethan is standing near a street corner waiting, glancing around he sees a shadow approaching. Ethan steps back into the shadows to give him cover, while the approaching person walks slowly towards him. Ethan leans against the wall and watches as a light reveals the shadow as Chimera; Ethan lifts himself from the wall and walks over to Chimera. Approaching Chimera from behind Ethan places his hands in his pockets.
ETHAN
(Softly)
Nice place you've got here
Chimera looks over her shoulder to see Ethan standing there in the shadows with a black jacket, black trousers and a dark shirt on.
CHIMERA
How did you find me?
ETHAN
I have my sources
CHIMERA
So why didn't you find me earlier
ETHAN
Thought it would be best for both of us
CHIMERA
(Solemnly)
Really?
ETHAN
It's all politics; we were the tools of the political situation at that time
CHIMERA
I'm not a political tool
ETHAN
You're wrong (Pause) you're a political tool also. Think about it, how many people have you killed on behalf of an organisation or person?
CHIMERA
A few
ETHAN
What were the political agendas of those organisations?
CHIMERA
I'm not playing a mind game with you
Chimera turns around to face Ethan
ETHAN
I don't expect you to
CHIMERA
Then why find out where I live?
ETHAN
I was curious to what your accommodation was like
CHIMERA
So, tell me Ethan what is like to be working for the firm again?
ETHAN
I'm not working for the firm yet; I've just struck a deal with them to protect us while we get the evidence
CHIMERA
Now we the discs
ETHAN
NO, just a copy
CHIMERA
How are you going to do that?
ETHAN
(Smiling)
Trust me
CHIMERA
I don't have a choice do I?
ETHAN
No
CHIMERA
And if you fail…
ETHAN
I won't
CHIMERA
You better not; I don't want to be watching my back all my life
Ethan pulls his cuff up and glances down to look at the time. Ethan then walks off living Chimera wondering, Chimera then proceeds to unlock the door of her flat.

Hello Ethan
ETHAN
Chimera
CHIMERA
You don't have to call me that
ETHAN

I know
CHIMERA
So, what now?
ETHAN
You're free, Stephen won't bother you and Bellerophon (Pause) well she's dead
CHIMERA
How?
ETHAN
Need to know basis
CHIMERA
I guess this is the end of our partnership
ETHAN
Not quite
CHIMERA
(Surprised/Smiling)
Not quite
ETHAN
How old are you?
CHIMERA
You know, you really shouldn't ask a lady that
ETHAN
(Smiling)
A lady now (Pause) that's a new one
CHIMERA
Let's just say I'm twenty-five
ETHAN
So you're a twenty-two year old professional killer
CHIMERA
(Smiles)
You could put it that way
ETHAN
(Smiles)
That's nothing compared to a thirty-three year old
CHIMERA
Thirty-three, when did you get into this business?
ETHAN
A long time ago after I joined the Royal Green Jackets
CHIMERA
Army boy
ETHAN
Are you always like this or does it take talent?
CHIMERA
Pure talent
Ethan just smiles and looks at Chimera with a look of dismay. Chimera turns her body to face Ethan.
CHIMERA
What?
ETHAN
Nothing, you just remind of someone
CHIMERA
Don't dwell on the past (Pause) you'll know that'll be your undoing
Chimera gets up and taps Ethan on the shoulder and walks away leaving Ethan on the bench. Ethan looks at Chimera walking away and puts his hand up to his mouth as he stares into space.
FADE TO BLACK:

ETHAN
What about Emma?
TRE
There's no information on an Emma
ETHAN
Not even a criminal record
TRE
As far as I know Emma doesn't have a criminal record
Smiling Ethan walks past Tré and walks off into the distance when an EXPLOSION is heard and Ethan turns round to face Tré and shrugs his shoulders. Tré just smiles and gets into his car.
CUT TO:

Ethan is sitting opposite Chimera drinking a glass of water while Chimera is sipping on a coffee. Chimera looks over her cup towards Ethan.

ETHAN
I wouldn't say that (Pause) but your record has been (Pause) mysteriously erased
CHIMERA
(Smiling)
Mysteriously erased
ETHAN
(Sarcastically)
Part of the deal I made (Smiles)
Chimera looks at Ethan with a puzzled look before taking another sip of coffee and then placing the cup down and folding her arms on the table and leaning forward.
CHIMERA
Do you usually do that?
ETHAN
Sometimes
CHIMERA
Why the fatherly protection?
ETHAN
Long story
CHIMERA
(Looking puzzled)
Long story?
ETHAN
Dark secrets and all that (Smiles)
CHIMERA
(Puzzled)
Okay
ETHAN
I've got to go
Chimera looks at Ethan as Ethan gets up and grabbing his coat puts the coat on and leaves; leaving Chimera sitting drinking her coffee. As Chimera looks round seeing Ethan walk off, Chimera takes a sip of coffee before placing the cup back down and looking out the window just stares into space.
CUT TO:

Ethan is walking along the street with his hands in his pockets wearing his jacket and generally glancing around as he watches the world go by.
