SUMMARY:  While bodyguarding an International Human Rights Activist, Jake 
encounters an assassin born to kill - whose natural skills may be too much for 
Jake's current enhancements.

==========================



COLD OPEN:

[VARIOUS CLIPS OF PAST EPISODES]

NARRATOR (WOMAN):  (v.o.) Jake Foley was an ordinary guy until a freak accident 
transformed him into the world's first computer-enhanced man.  Millions of 
microscopic computers interface with his biochemistry and make him stronger and 
faster, able to see and hear farther than normal men.  They give him the power 
to control technology with his brain.  Jake Foley -- America's secret weapon.  
He takes on missions no ordinary agent can perform.  He is the ultimate human 
upgrade.

NARRATOR:  (v.o.)  Previously on Jake 2.0



[Scene from 1X05: The Good, The Bad and The Geeky]

[INT. DUMONT'S RESIDENCE - DAY]

(Dumont sits at his computer monitor.)  

DUMONT:  Three - two - one.  



[INT. FEDERAL RESERVE - SECURITY COMMAND CENTER - DAY]

(The Security Guard sits at the terminal and looks at Kyle.)  

SECURITY GUARD:  We're being robbed.

(Monitor picture of a cartoon wrestler holding bags of money.)  

LOU:  (v.o.)  What do we know about this Dumont?

(Dumont)



[Scene from 1X13: Blackout]

[EXT. WOODS - NIGHT]

(Jake is hiding behind a tree as Dumont hunts him down.)  

DUMONT:  Jake!

(Dumont steps out into the woods, holds up his gun at the tree Jake is hiding 
behind and fires.)  

(Using his super strength, Jake rushes out and whacks Dumont across the face 
with a thick branch.)



[INT. PRISON - DAY]

(Dumont is taking a polygraph test.)

(The voice over is from 1X11: Prince and The Revolution.)

VALERIE WARNER:  (v.o.)  That man may have what it takes to reclaim his throne.



[Scene from 1X11: Prince and The Revolution]

(Jake turns to look at Valerie Warner.)  

JAKE:  The real question is, who we going to back?

VALERIE WARNER:  The winner, of course.



[Scene from 1X10: The Spy Who Really Liked Me]  

[INT. NSA - DIANE'S LAB -- DAY]  

(Jake looks at Lou and Kyle.)  

JAKE:  I thought this war was with our enemies out there.  Not our superiors in 
here.

LOU:  Well, get used to it.



[Scene from 1X13: Blackout]  

[INT. PRISON HOSPITAL - DUMONT'S ROOM -- NIGHT]  

(Valerie Warner looks at Dumont's chart.  Dumont is on the bed, his mouth wired 
shut.)  

VALERIE WARNER:  Your jaw would have to be wired shut for six to eight weeks.  
I'd offer you one of those head wounds and a keyboard, but god only knows what 
kind of trouble a genius like you could get into with that.  God only knows.

[EXT. VARIOUS WASHINGTON D.C. (STOCK) - NIGHT]



[EXT. HOTEL SIDEWALK -- NIGHT]  

(A group of supporters stands outside the hotel front door.  They're holding 
signs and chanting while waiting for their hero to arrive.)  

CROWD:  (chanting)  Dr. Sang. Dr. Sang. Dr. Sang. Dr. Sang.

(Bill Brummond and Kyle walk along the sidewalk.  They're discussing the case.)  

BILL BRUMMOND:  Nanda Sang is a diplomat.  Protection clearly falls under the 
purview of Diplomatic Security.  Not NSA.  Kyle, my orders come directly from 
the Secretary.

KYLE:  Mine come directly from the President.  He's personally concerned about 
Dr. Sang's safety while he's in this country.  Look, Bill.  I'm not trying to 
step on BDS's toes, here.  

BILL BRUMMOND:  You're just hear to pull rank.

KYLE:  Only if I have to.

(Bill Brummond leaves.  Kyle turns around and talks with the radio.)  

KYLE:  (to radio)  You have a handle on the crowd?

(Camera zooms just across the front walkway to Jake.  Jake stands in front of 
the crowd and looks around.)  

DIANE:  (o.s.)  Jake!  Excuse me.

(Jake turns around and finds Diane making her way through the crowd to the front 
where he is.)  

DIANE:  Sorry!  Jake!

JAKE:  Diane?  What are you doing here?

DIANE:  Oh, I'm just here to get a good look at my hero.

JAKE:  (smiles)  Come on, you see me every day at work.

DIANE:  Nanda Sang!  (Jake's smile falls and he looks around the area again.)  
He's like the Nelson Mandela of East Asia.  Can you believe it?  He's spent 
eighteen years in prison for his cause.  It's just -- 

(The crowd grows louder.)  

DIANE:  Oh, my god!  There he is.

(Diane grabs Jake and pulls him near her.)  

(The crowd cheers as the limo with a police escort arrives in front of the 
hotel.)  

(Diane takes a breath and smiles with excitement.)  

(Kyle steps toward the limo to open the door.  Bill Brummond reaches out past 
Kyle.)

BILL BRUMMOND:  I got it.

(Kyle turns and lets him open the door.)  

BILL BRUMMOND:  Welcome to Washington, Dr. Sang.  I'm Bill Brummond with the 
State Department.  I think it's best we get you inside immediately - 

(Dr. Sang ignore him and walks past Bill Brummond.  He bows to the crowd.)

CROWD:  Nanda Sang!

(He turns and bows to a different part of the crowd.)

(He walks up to the crowd to meet the people.  Diane tries to get his 
attention.)  

DIANE:  Excuse me.  Dr. Sang.  Hi.  I'm with the NSA.  (She shows him her ID 
badge.)  My friends are here to protect you.

JAKE / KYLE:  (both shocked)  Diane!

(Nanda Sang bows to Diane.)  

DIANE:  I-I-I am such a tremendous admirer of yours and-and and everything that 
you're doing for immortality in your country.

NANDA SANG:  Thank you, ... (reads her ID) ... Dr. Diane Hughes.  It's only the 
beginning.  Perhaps, while I'm here, we can speak of this further.

(Bill Brummond swoops in and urges Nanda Sang into the hotel.)  

BILL BRUMMOND:  Sir, I really must insist.  Now.

DIANE:  Yes!  Dr. Hughes of the NSA.  You just call me!  Okay.  (She turns to 
Jake.)  Whoo!  Jake.  (squeals)  Jake!

[CROSSHAIRS VIEW]

(Through the crosshairs of a rifle, we see the back of Nanda Sang's head.)

[RESUME VIEW]

(Diane squeals.)  

JAKE:  Diane!

(Jake looks around and sees something on the side of the hotel.)  

CUE SOUND:  ENHANCED ABILITIES

(Jake's eyes zero in on the gunman pointing the gun through the statue's mouth 
on the side of the building.)

JAKE:  Gun!

(The crowd screams.)  

(Bill Brummond rushes Nanda Sang into the hotel.)

VOICE:  (shouts)  Get down!

(The Gunman starts climbing straight up the side of the building wall toward the 
roof.)  

(Jake runs across the street to the building.)  

KYLE:  (to radio)  Sniper spotted!  He's on the northwest face of the Greenthrop 
Building.

(Kyle shakes his head as the sniper continues to climb up the side of the 
building.)  

KYLE:  (to radio)  All units!  He's headed for the roof!

(Kyle runs.  Diane looks around.  The crowd continues to scream.)  



[EXT. GREENTHROP BUILDING - ROOFTOP - NIGHT - CONTINUOUS]

(The door to the roof bursts open.  Jake looks around the roof.  At the far end, 
he sees the sniper running across the roof.  Jake heads to intercept him.)  

JAKE:  You're under arrest!

(Jake tackles the sniper.  They both roll on the roof.  The sniper jumps back up 
to his feet.  He starts kicking Jake.  Jake steps back to avoid being hit.)  

(Jake punches the sniper a couple of times.  A couple of times he hits him, a 
couple of times he misses.  The sniper kicks Jake several times in the chest.)  

(Jake grabs him and pulls his mask off.  It's a young asian man.  They stare at 
each other, then continue to fight.  Jake rushes toward him.  The sniper flips 
Jake completely over the edge of the building.)  

(Jake is holding on by the edge of the rooftop.)  

(The sniper waits until Jake has both hands on the edge of the rooftop.  He lets 
go and walks away.)

(Jake looks down the side of the building.)



(Cut to:  Kyle and other agents reach the rooftop.)

KYLE:  Jake!

(They spread out and search the rooftop.)  

KYLE:  Where is he?  Where'd he go?

JAKE:  Kyle?

(Kyle rushes over to the side and finds Jake hanging onto the edge.)  

JAKE:  (sheepish)  A little help?

[EXT. VARIOUS WASHINGTON D.C. (STOCK) - NIGHT]



[INT. HOTEL - ROOM -- NIGHT]  

NEWSCASTER:  (from tv)  An unidentified Federal Agent was left hanging tonight 
as a result of an attempt on the life of visiting dignitarian peace activist 
Nanda Sang.  (Jake scrunches his face as the news report airs on tv.)  Dr. Sang 
is in Washington to address the international ...

(The agent standing in front of Jake watching the news report turns around.)  

AGENT:  I guess that guy really kicked your ass.  Should have just shot him.

(Jake imitates the agent's words as the agent walks away.  Lou and Dr. Nanda 
Sang walk into the room.)  

LOU:  This is Agent Foley.

NANDA SANG:  You're the young man who chased the assassin off.

JAKE:  Uh, yeah.  I guess I am.

NANDA SANG:  That's quite something.

JAKE:  Well, it's all in the line of duty 

NANDA SANG:  Yeah.  Because now I'm being told by your State and National 
Security that I cannot leave this room while this man is at large.  

LOU:  This is only for this evening Dr. Sang.  We want to make sure that this 
room and the immediate vicinity are secure.  It won't affect your speech for 
tomorrow.

NANDA SANG:  Do you have three million dollars, Agent Foley?

JAKE:  (confused)  Uh, I -I don't think I -

NANDA SANG:  There are two banquets and three parties given in my honor this 
evening.  When people see me, more importantly, when they hear me speak, they 
are moved.

JAKE:  I'm sorry.  Do you want me to make a donation?  

NANDA SANG:  I want you to make me a large glass of vodka with a little bit of 
ice.

(Jake chuckles thinking that he's joking, but he's not.)

BILL BRUMMOND:  Bar's right over there, Foley.

(Jake stops smiling.  He looks at them, turns and heads for the bar.)  

(The phone rings.  Bill Brummond answers it.)  

LOU:  I'm going to go back to the NSA to continue the investigation.  Agent 
Duarte and his team will be in charge.

NANDA SANG:  So, how long before Agent Duarte and his team let me out of here?

BILL BRUMMOND:  Uh, Dr. Sang?  Telephone call for you.  She says she's Oprah 
Winfrey.

(Nanda Sang walks over to Bill Brummond.)  

BILL BRUMMOND:  (whispers)  It really sounds like Oprah.

NANDA SANG:  (to phone)  Oprah, how are you.

(Lou's phone rings.  She steps to the side to answer it.)  

NANDA SANG:  (to his phone)  Lovely day to you, too.  Yeah.  (Jake hands Nanda 
Sang his drink.)  Love to.

LOU:  (to her phone)  Beckett.

VALERIE WARNER:  (from phone)  Hello, Louise.  Valerie Warner.  Any progress on 
the shooter?

LOU:  I'm working on it.

INTERCUT WITH:  

[INT. PRISON - HALLWAY -- NIGHT]

(Valerie Warner walks through the hallway.)

VALERIE WARNER:  Work quickly.  Khandi's calling every fifteen minutes.

LOU:  I'll keep you posted.

(Valerie Warner hangs up.  She walks over to a door.)  



[INT. PRISON - INTERVIEW ROOM - NIGHT - CONTINUOUS]

(The guard opens the door; Valerie Warner walks into the room.  She looks over 
at the guard and dismisses him.)  

VALERIE WARNER:  You can go.

(The door closes.  Valerie Warner and Dumont stare at each other.)  

VALERIE WARNER:  That scar seems to be healing rather unevenly.

DUMONT:  What do you want?

VALERIE WARNER:  To see how you are.  Made some calls when you were brought 
back, requested you were treated well.

DUMONT:  Well, no one's raped me yet.  Sounds like a good sign.  I get a 
feeling.

VALERIE WARNER:  What's that?

DUMONT:  You hate Jake Foley just as much as I do.

VALERIE WARNER:  Why would you possibly think such a thing?

DUMONT:  Because, you can't control him.  And women like you don't like things 
you can't control.

VALERIE WARNER:  By that logic, I must like you very, very much.

DUMONT:  You know, you're really quite attractive.  You'll probably look good 
without all that make-up on, too.  Shame you've got nothing going on in your 
life except for your job.

VALERIE WARNER:  Don't exhaust yourself.  Your mind games won't work on me.

DUMONT:  I understand.  Tell me.  When you lost your baby, did they tell you it 
was a boy or a girl?  It wasn't just Jake's files I was hacking into.  His life 
is so boring, I could barely keep my eyes open, but yours - Yours is 
fascinating.  My favorite part. Right after to the miscarriage, Carl dumps you.  
It's been twenty years now.  Have you even had sex since?  

VALERIE WARNER:  You're disgusting.

(Valerie Warner opens the door.)  

VALERIE WARNER:  Guard.

DUMONT:  Tell me.  What hurt more?  Watching Carl's new wife and kids playing in 
the front yard or realizing that he just didn't care anymore.

VALERIE WARNER:  Best of luck in here.

(Dumont nods at her.  Valerie Warner leaves.  Dumont watches her go.)  

FADE OUT.

[EXT. WASHINGTON D.C. (STOCK) - NIGHT]



[INT. NSA - SAT OPS -- NIGHT]  

(Lou briefs the team.)  

LOU:  We recovered a Steyr-Aug Rifle at the scene.  No fingerprints.  No serial 
numbers.  Agent Foley was the only one to get a good look at the shooter, he's 
working up a sketch ID now.  We can be reasonably certain who sent him.  General 
Mwong Cho Sang has been trying to assassinate Dr. Sang for years making the next 
fourteen hours especially critical.  Dr. Sang's speech to the IRC tomorrow could 
finally solidify US support for his movement which would spell the beginning of 
the end for the good General.

(Finished with her briefing, Lou leaves.  Jake continues to work with the sketch 
artist agent.)

JAKE:  Oh, no.  He had more hair and bigger cheekbones.

(She makes the adjustments and Jake doesn't like the picture.)  

JAKE:  I guess you mean smaller cheekbones and his eyes were kinda more almond 
shaped.

(Lou walks up to them.)  

LOU:  How's it going?

JAKE:  Oh, I'd say that kinda looks like him.  Not really.  I-I just see it so 
clearly up here.  It's like a photo.

LOU:  Maybe you do.  I mean, you're part digital, right?  

JAKE:  Yeah.  Hey, do you mind if I work with Diane on this?  I mean, maybe 
there's a way we could download what I'm seeing.

LOU:  Let me know how it goes.

JAKE:  Great.  (Lou turns and leaves.)  (to sketch artist)  Thanks.

(Jake rushes out to find Diane.)

CUT TO:



[INT. NSA - DIANE'S LAB - DAY]

(Diane and Jake walk into the lab.  He's already shared with her what he wants 
done.)  

DIANE:  I mean, it's theoretically possible.  You interface with computers.  
Maybe it's just a matter of digitizing whatever image is in your head.  Do you 
ever see in pixels?

JAKE:  Well, not usually, but sometimes if I focus on a picture, I can macro in 
and see the pixels.

DIANE:  Okay, well let's just pull up a photo program and give it a shot.  

JAKE:  mm-hmm.

(Diane punches up the program on the computer.  She sighs.)  

DIANE:  You know what you did tonight?  It was amazing.  I mean, you saved a 
great man's life.  Did he talk to you?  Did he get a chance to thank you?

JAKE:  I made him a drink.

DIANE:  (impressed)  Wha -- ?  You made him a drink?  Wow.

(The computer beeps.)  

DIANE:  Give it a try.

(Jake stares at the computer.)  

(Camera zooms in through Jake and down to the nanites where they zap him.)  

(As he stares at the computer photo program, a black, fuzzy image appears on the 
screen.)  

(When he's done, the computer beeps.  Diane appears surprised that it worked.)  

DIANE:  Hey!  It worked.  Sort of.

JAKE:  Come on, that's not going to help anyone find him.

DIANE:  Well, sure it will.  If we're looking for the murkyman.

(Diane chuckles and sees that Jake's not laughing with her.)

DIANE:  Cheap joke.

JAKE:  It's not working.

DIANE:  Well, we'll just keep trying.

JAKE:  No, we need results.  Now.  This guy is going to try again and let me 
tell you something, he can fight.

DIANE:  Yeah, I know.  Or you should've shot him.

JAKE:  I should have been able to take him, but I couldn't.  And I'm the one 
that has the nanites.  So, can you explain that to me?

DIANE:  Jake, you're not superman.  Just because you have all these enhancements 
doesn't mean that you're going to win every single fight.

JAKE:  I need help here.  I need an upgrade.

DIANE:  What?

(Diane walks away.)  

JAKE:  Come on.  Every software program gets one usually just when you figure 
out how to use the thing.  Now, come on you have to have been doing research in 
this area.

(She doesn't answer him immediately.)

DIANE:  You don't know that.

(She walks away.  Gotcha.)  

JAKE:  (smiles)  I do now.

DIANE:  Jake.  Come on.  You have been extremely lucky with the nanites so far, 
okay.  For me to upgrade them without the proper research first it's just-it's 
just - way too dangerous.  It could overload your synopses, alter your heart 
fibrilation ... 

JAKE:  It could make me stronger, faster and better ID this killer.

DIANE:  No. no.

(The phone rings.  Diane answers it.)  

DIANE:  (to phone)  Yeah.  Lab.  Yeah.  Me?  Really?  Yeah, okay.  Yeah.  I can 
be -Absolutely.  I can be there in - I can be there in an hour.  Oh.  Yeah, 
okay.  Thank you.  Thank you.  (She hangs up.)  I-I have a private audience with 
Dr. Sang tonight.

JAKE:  An Audience?

DIANE:  (flustered)  Oh, my god.  Okay.  Ahh!  I don't know what to do.  Do I 
get him a present?  I-I ... 

JAKE:  Diane?  Just go.  

DIANE:  Okay.  All right.  Whoo!  Okay.  Okay.  

(Diane grabs her jacket and bag)  

DIANE:  (giddy)  It's good.

(Jake smiles back at her.  Diane turns and rushes out of the lab.)  

(Jake turns and looks at Diane's computer with the Nanite Enhancement Project on 
it.  He stares at it.  The following message appears:  DOWNLOAD BETA CODE?  Jake 
sticks in a memory chip and downloads the program.)

(He smiles.)  

CUT TO:



[INT. HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT]

(Nanda Sang is on the phone.)  

NANDA SANG:  (to phone)  That's more than gracious Senator Kennedy.  Yes. I'm 
looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.

(He hangs up the phone.  He turns around and stops the bus boy carrying in a 
breakfast tray.)  

NANDA SANG:  Excuse me, that's not fresh.  Please throw it away.

(His cell phone rings.  He answers it.)  

NANDA SANG:  Hello?  W-What's the count?  Two eighty two in the house?  We need 
several more votes, dammit.  Keep on working on it.

(The housekeeper, a very pretty asian woman, walks into the room carrying a 
couple of pillows.)  

NANDA SANG:  Hello?  I believe my bed needs to be turned down.

(She turns and heads for the bedroom.  Nanda Sang has also noticed how pretty 
the housekeeper is and starts to follow her toward the bedroom.  Kyle stops her 
and takes the pillows form her.)  

KYLE:  We'll turn down Dr. Sang's bed.

(The housekeeper leaves.)  

NANDA SANG:  (not pleased)  What do you think you're doing?  

KYLE:  My job.  For your protection.

(Kyle turns and leaves with the stack of pillows.)  

CUT TO:



[EXT. JAKE'S APARTMENT BUILDING (STOCK) - NIGHT]



[INT. JAKE'S APARTMENT - NIGHT]

(Jake is going through the information he downloaded from Diane's computer.)  

JAKE:  Here goes nothing.

(He starts the program.  The message box on the monitor reads:  INITIALIZING 
INTERFACE.)  

(Jake stares at the modem and connects with the program.)  

(Camera zooms into Jake's blood and down to his nanites.  They zap and glow.)  

(The computer beeps.  The message box on the monitor reads:  INTERFACE 
COMPLETE.)  

(Done.  Jake shrugs.  It seems all anticlimactic.  He stands up and walks around 
the room.  He does some Jackie Chan moves.)  

JAKE:  Hiya!  Ya-ha!

(Jake looks at the computer and tries the composite again.)  

(He stares at the photo program and a clear picture of Diane smiling appears.)  

JAKE: What?

(He seems surprised at the ease in which that happens.)  

JAKE:  All right.  (He clears his throat.)  Focus.

(He tries the photo of the assassin again.  And this time, the picture is very 
clear.)  

JAKE:  (pleased)  Oh, I'm the man.  I'm the man.

(Jake is very pleased.)  

JAKE:  Let me just e-mail you to my boss.  Hoo-yaa!

(He sends the photo e-mail to the NSA.  He stands in the center of his living 
room proud of his accomplishment.  Suddenly, he grabs his head in pain.)  

(Quick flash of:  The nanites zap him.)  

(Jake falls to the floor with a thud.)

CUT TO:



[EXT. NSA BUILDING (STOCK) - NIGHT]



[INT. NSA - SAT OPS - NIGHT]

(The photo that they received is on the workstation monitor and running through 
the known database.  Susan Carver reports to Lou.)  

TECH AGENT SUSAN CARVER:  We've just got an e-mail from Jake.  Picture of the 
assassin.

LOU:  What else have you got?

TECH AGENT SUSAN CARVER:  We've been running facial ID, but nothing's come up 
yet.

LOU:  Put it on the big board.

(Susan Carver puts the photo on the wall monitor.)  

LOU:  Enlarge it and enhance the right side of his neck.

(The portion of the neck is enhanced and they find a small two-character kanji 
tattoo.)  

LOU:  He's Yakuza.  

TECH AGENT SUSAN CARVER:  The translation for the lettering means, "pure death".  
But, the markings aren't specific to any of the clans on our watch list.

LOU:  Print it out.

(Lou picks up the phone and makes a call.)  

LOU:  (to phone)  Yes, Seymour.  I want you to come up to Sat Ops.  I've got 
something to show you.

CUT TO:



[INT. JAKE'S APARTMENT - LIVING ROOM -- DAY]

(Jake regains consciousness.  He groans and tries to get up.  He blinks and 
looks around.  He looks at the computer and sees the photo of the assassin on 
the monitor.  Behind him, we see shadows moving.)  

(Jake remembers what he'd been doing when he passed out.)  

JAKE:  Ah, yes.

[DIFFERENT ANGLE]

(We see that Jake's not alone in his apartment.  He turns and finds the assassin 
standing in his living room.)  

JAKE:  What the -- ?

(Jake scrambles to his feet.)  

(The assassin draws his sword.  Jake jumps up.)

JAKE:  What?  Ah!

(But, he's been enhanced, so he's not used to his new strength.  He jumps higher 
than usual and hits his head into the ceiling plaster.  He falls back to the 
floor.)  

JAKE:  Uh!

(The assassin kneels down before Jake and places the sword on the floor 
perpendicular to him.)

SHINJI MAKITO:  You are a man of honor.  I am not.  I humbly ask you to take my 
life.

JAKE:  (confused)  Huh?

CUT TO:



[EXT. HOTEL BUILDING (STOCK) - NIGHT]



[INT. HOTEL - HALLWAY TO NANDA SANG'S ROOM - NIGHT]

DIANE:  I'm Diane Hughes, NSA.  I was invited by Dr. Sang.

SECURITY GUARD:  Proceed.

(Diane walks over to the room.  Kyle sees her.)  

KYLE:  Diane?  You are crossing a line.  You can't just show up here.

NANDA SANG:  (interrupts)  Dr. Hughes.  I'm so glad you accepted my invitation.  
Please.  Make yourself at home.

DIANE:  Thank you.

(Diane takes off her coat and hands it to Kyle as she walks into the living room 
area.)  

CUT TO:



[INT. JAKE'S APARTMENT - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT]

(Jake looks at the Assassin warily.  He reaches out and grabs the sword from the 
floor.)  

JAKE:  Okay, what's your name?

SHINJI MAKITO:  Shinji Makito.

JAKE:  I'm Jake.  Jake Foley.  And I'm not going to kill you, but I am going to 
arrest you.

(Jake opens his desk drawer looking for something.  Probably handcuffs.)  

SHINJI MAKITO:  I'm sorry, I cannot allow that.

JAKE:  You want me to kill you, but you don't want me to arrest you.

SHINJI MAKITO:  Yes.  (He stands up.)  The dishonour would be too great.  The 
only solution would be to take my life.

JAKE:  Huh.  Okay.  (Jake closes the desk drawer.)  You need to chill out.  I'm 
going to take you in.

(Jake picks up the phone to make a call.  Shinji steps forward and grabs the 
sword from Jake, twisting his arm so Jake has to let it go.)  

JAKE:  Aahh!

(Shinji swings and cuts the phone cord.  Jake looks at the dangling cord.)  

SHINJI MAKITO:  No.  You are not.

JAKE:  Yes.  (He tosses the phone to the side.)  I am.

(Shinji swings his sword at Jake.  Jake picks up a chair and blocks the hits.  
Shinji hacks bits and pieces off the chair; he swings the sword and charges 
Jake.)  

(Jake continues to block the strokes and dodge the sword swings.  He moves 
backward away from Shinji as he brings his sword down hard on the table.)  

(Shinji jumps onto the sofa.  Jake throws the chair at him, knocking him back 
down to the floor.)  

(On the small table, Jake sees his gun.  He runs for it, but Shinji trips him. 
Jake falls to the floor as Shinji gets to his feet.)

[INT. HOTEL -NANDA SANG'S ROOM - NIGHT]

(A cold carafe with a chilled champagne bottle is placed on the side table.  
Nanda Sang and Diane talk.)  

DIANE:  In my Poly Sci class in my freshman year in college, I read your 
autobiography - two, three - well, several times.  (chuckles nervously)  Um, 
actually, I still have it and-and-and I thought maybe that you could sign it for 
me, if that's okay.

NANDA SANG:  Of course.

DIANE:  Thank you.

(She takes the book out of her bag.)  

DIANE:  Here's the pen. This is one of my favorite quotes of yours: "The sublime 
challenge in this life is not merely to do good, but to do better."  So 
inspiring.

NANDA SANG:  Are you wearing underwear?

DIANE:  Excuse me?  

NANDA SANG:  I'm not.

(He leans back on the sofa and crosses his legs.  Diane's eyes widen and she 
looks away.)  

DIANE:  Um, Dr. Sang.

NANDA SANG:  Nanda.

DIANE:  I think - yeah, I think that you're through with me.

(She stands up and he quickly moves to stop her.)  

NANDA SANG:  Oh, of course.  I apologize.  Let me sign the book.

(He reaches for the book, grabs her and pulls her down to the sofa.)  

DIANE:  Whoa!  Oh, Get off of me, you pervert!

(Diane slaps him.)  

(She stands up.)  

DIANE:  You're disgusting.  (scolds)  You're a Nobel prize winner.

(She grabs her bag off the floor and hits him with it.  She storms off to the 
door.  She grabs her coat and passes Kyle on her way out.)  

(Kyle puts his hands on his hips and glares at Nanda Sang.)

(Shinji it thrown cross the kitchen and lands on the counter near the sink.  He 
gets back on his feet and kicks Jake in the face.  Jake deflects several punches 
and manages to hit Shinji as well.)  

(The fighting continues.)  

(Shinji kicks Jake making him fall against the wall.  He heads over to him, but 
Jake kicks him back throwing him back into the already damaged coffee table.  
Both men are on their backs, extremely tired from fighting.)

(Shinji crawls toward Jake and punches him in the face.  Jake half-heartedly 
punches Shinji back.)  

(Jake groans.)  

JAKE:  I still don't know if I want to kill you, I'm too tired to try at the 
moment.

SHINJI MAKITO:  And at the moment, I'm too exhausted to die.

JAKE:  Back at the hotel, you had a clear shot at Dr. Sang and you didn't take 
it.  Hell, you could've killed me on that roof.  I'm beginning to think that 
you're some kind of crappy assassin.  What's up with that?

(Shinji doesn't answer him.)

SEYMOUR LAFORTUNATA:  Whoa.  Yeah.  This guy's a member of the Junshi clan.  
Nasty as they come these guys.  Makes your standard Yakuza look about as scary 
as Pokemon anime which, uh, if you go back to the ***, it's pretty scary.

(He laughs.)  

LOU:  Seymour.  Focus.

SEYMOUR LAFORTUNATA:  Right.  Right.  Nevermind.  Right.  Uh, Junshi.  Tight-
knit organization.  Blood relatives mostly.  Specialize in assassinations.  
Archduke Ferdinand.  Trotsky.  Rabin.

LOU:  Are you saying that they were killed by -

SEYMOUR LAFORTUNATA:  (interrupts)  No.  No.  Of course, I'm not.  Because then 
you would know that they existed.  You see?

LOU:  What else.

SEYMOUR LAFORTUNATA:  Okay.  Uh, Junjiyo family.  They have killing in their 
genes, they're natural-born killers.  There's only one way in:  You're born.  
One way out:  You die.  They're experts in martial arts, sharp-shootings, sword 
fighting, anything that would give them the edge.  No.  (He laughs.)  No pun 
intended.  Uh -- also, they always finish their kills.  Always.

[INT. JAKE'S APARTMENT - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT]

(The apartment is completely trashed from all the fighting.  In the center of 
the living room leaning against the couch are Jake and Shinji, both exhausted 
and enjoying a beer together.)

SHINJI MAKITO:  I only drank a beer once before.  At the airport in Tokyo while 
coming here.  I had two sips, then I stopped myself.  Do you have any more?

JAKE:  Sure.

(Jake stands up and heads into the kitchen.)  

JAKE:  So you've never had any alcohol before, huh?

SHINJI MAKITO:  No.  No alcohol.  No drugs.  No sex.

JAKE:  Really?

(He uncaps the beer bottle and gives it to Shinji.  He takes his seat back on 
the floor.)  

SHINJI MAKITO:  My life has been about discipline since the day I was born.  I 
have been training.  Just like my father and his father before him.

JAKE:  Assassin family, huh.  T.V. show in there somewhere.

SHINJI MAKITO:  I've never killed anyone before.  Ever.  This was my first 
assignment and I couldn't do it.  Three years ago, when my father was on his 
deathbed.  He said to me, "You're not Junshi".  I tried to fight it at every 
moment.  I trained harder.  I was faster and stronger than everyone else in the 
family.  (sighs with self-disappointment)  And yet, when I was called to duty 
...  (He takes a sip of beer.)  This beer is very good.

(Jake laughs.)

LOU:  I don't care what he says, Kyle.  I want someone on him at all times.

(Lou hangs up.  She walks over to Seymour who is in front of the wall monitor 
studying the photo.)  

LOU:  Thanks Seymour, we'll take it from here.

SEYMOUR LAFORTUNATA:  Well, actually ... sorry.  One question.  Who took this 
picture?  

LOU:  One of our agents.  Why?

SEYMOUR LAFORTUNATA:  Really.  Well, just a note.  You might want to beef up 
protection on him or her for that matter.  There's only been a couple of people 
who have been able to identify Junshi and lived.  But they're usually maimed, 
tortured, you know, eyes cut out, tongue cut out, that kind of thing, but for 
the most part ... they're all dead.

(Shinji Makito is drunk.  He stands on the sofa singing a Japanese song.  
Loudly.  Badly.)  

SHINJI MAKITO:  Oh-ohhh.  Hosanakani-sawa!  

(He chuckles and falls backward onto the couch.)

SHINJI MAKITO:  You don't know this song?

(Jake puts his gun back in its holster.)  

JAKE:  No.  No I don't.

SHINJI MAKITO:  It was a very big hit by Yumeka.  Japanese Beyonce.  Very hot!

JAKE:  Yeah.  Shinji.  We gotta go.  Come on.

SHINJI MAKITO:  No.  Wait.  Just a little while.  I want to feel this a little 
longer, this freedom.

JAKE:  Yeah, I think what you're feeling is the two-and-a-half beers.

SHINJI MAKITO:  Can I tell you something?  I haven't told anyone before?

JAKE:  Why stop now?

SHINJI MAKITO:  The village I grew up in, there was a sushi chef, Akishi.  I 
would sit at the bar - watch him. As he prepare the fish.  I was fascinated by 
the craft.  (beat)  Does this sound gay to you?

(Jake chuckles.)  

JAKE:  No.

SHINJI MAKITO:  But those moments in a different life, I would like to have been 
like Akishi.

JAKE:  Well, Shinji.  It's not too late.

(Just then, agents burst in through the front door.  Jake turns around 
completely surprised; his hands automatically go up in the air.)  

AGENTS:  Hands in the air!

JAKE:  Whoa, whoa, whoa.  It's okay.  It's okay.

(Lou steps into the apartment.)  

LOU:  You all right?

JAKE:  Yes, I'm fine.  Yeah, I know.  Look, he came in.  He wanted me to kill 
him.  Long story.  It's okay, it's under control.  He's not a threat to anyone.  
Dr. Sang is safe.

LOU:  No, Dr. Sang is not safe.  Someone from his clan is going to come and 
finish the job.

SHINJI MAKITO:  Oh, yes.  Someone else will kill him.  They always do.

him up against the car hood.  She takes out a small knife and cuts his throat.)

and sighs.  She puts it on, crosses her arms and sighs.  She kicks the trash can 
away from her sight.)

(It hits the hallway and nearly trips Fran Yoshida as she returns to the lab.)  

FRAN YOSHIDA:  Whoa.

DIANE:  Oh, sorry.  I'm sorry.  I didn't -- even see you there.

FRAN YOSHIDA:  So, I take it your audience with Dr. Sang didn't go so well.

DIANE:  No, I gushed about what a great man of peace he was and he tried to feel 
me up.

FRAN YOSHIDA:  No.

DIANE:  Yes.

FRAN YOSHIDA:  Wow.  Men.  Are they all dogs?

DIANE:  Well, I haven't met them all, but ... 

(Fran takes her lab coat off as she's preparing to leave.)  

FRAN YOSHIDA:  Are we in for an all-nighter then?

DIANE:  Huh?   

FRAN YOSHIDA:  Well, some people like to eat when they get upset, you like to 
work.

DIANE:  Yeah.  No, you don't have to stay though.  I-I ... Jake was asking me 
about his upgrade research, I thought I'd look at it.

(Fran opens her locker.)  

FRAN YOSHIDA:  Again?  Well, didn't you review those files earlier tonight?

DIANE:  No.

FRAN YOSHIDA:  Well, someone did and they used your password.

DIANE:  Really.

been accessed and that Download has completed.  She sighs.)

NANDA SANG:  Agent Duarte.  I get the feeling you'd like nothing better right 
now than to punch me in the face.

KYLE:  Peace Activist and a Mind Reader.

NANDA SANG:  You think I'm a hypocrite.

KYLE:  That's a milder word than I would use.  You know that woman you accosted 
was a friend of mine.  She looked up to you.  Believed in you.

(He turns his chair around and looks at Kyle.  He sighs.)

NANDA SANG:  I'm sorry to have shattered her illusions.

KYLE:  Yeah.  I'm sure you are.  

NANDA SANG:  Now, Kennedy was a philandering son of a bootlegger,  Churchhill 
was a depressive alcoholic.  Great men aren't always great people.  You can't 
imagine the oppression I was born into.  The things I have done to survive and 
to make myself heard.  I may not be a very nice human being, but the world is a 
better place for it.

security on all fronts.

SEYMOUR LAFORTUNATA:  I don't believe this.  I'm actually like standing in the 
same room as a real live Junshi assassin.  This is huge.  Do you realize that 
nobody sees these guys and lives.

SHINJI MAKITO:  (dryly)  The night is young.

LOU:  (to phone)  You keep your team on red alert.  I'll have a debriefing later 
when we get better intel.

SHINJI MAKITO:  You do not understand the situation.

LOU:  Enlighten me.

SHINJI MAKITO:  It doesn't matter what kind of alert you guys go to - red, 
yellow, purple - this is a question of honor.  Nanda Sang isn't going to live to 
make that speech.

JAKE:  He will if you help us.  Junshi assassins all train together, right 
Seymour?  

SEYMOUR LAFORTUNATA:  Sure.  I mean, you know, it's all rumor and legend and 
innuendo, but as far as I can tell.

JAKE:  Because whoever they send, you'll be able to identify him.  You know his 
methods, you're the only one who can see him coming.

SHINJI MAKITO:  Another betrayal.

JAKE:  No, no.  It's another act of conscience.

LOU:  You're talking to the wrong audience, Jake.  What makes you think I'm 
going to let him within a mile of Nanda Sang?

JAKE:  Because he's the only one of his kind with cold feet.  No offense.  I 
don't think it's going to happen again in this lifetime.

LOU:  Okay, if I go along with this?  He's in chains the entire time.  He so 
much looks sideways at Nanda Sang and you put a bullet in his head, understood?

concrete walls which can withstand twenty mega-ton blast and I assume an

but I am also your doctor and I am the Senior Researcher on this project, so 
when I say, "Do Not Mess with the Nanites", then you take it as a word of God.

JAKE:  Okay.  Fine. I'm sorry, okay?  I did it and it worked and I'm fine.

DIANE:  Oh, really?

JAKE:  Yeah.  Well, I had a little pain.  (Off her look, he confesses.)  Okay.  
I had blinding pain and I fainted for a few seconds.

(She starts walking down the hallway.)  

DIANE:  (sighs)  Oh, Jake.  Your ego is going to turn you into a vegetable.  Do 
you always have to be the absolute biggest and strongest?

JAKE:  Yes.

DIANE:  Why?

JAKE:  Because I don't want to have to kill anyone else.  Since I've been an 
agent, I've killed two people, but I still had to look into their eyes and watch 
them die.

DIANE:  You think that if you make yourself better, you won't have to kill 
anyone anymore?

JAKE:  Yeah, hopefully.  Look, there's a kid in there who's trained his entire 
life to be a murderer and when the time came to pull the trigger, he couldn't do 
it.  And I admire him for that.  You see, you see, --

(Nanda Sang is giving his speech to an empty auditorium.  Jake and Shinji stand 
on the back of the stage looking out and around.  The other agents mill about 
the empty auditorium.)  

NANDA SANG:  Three years ago, my daughter Ronnie insisted on joining me in a 
protest march.  The government attacked us with gas bombs and grenades.  In the 
chaos, we became separated.  Ten days later, her body was found with her hands 
tied behind her back floating in the MeKong River.  She had been tortured and 
executed by the Secret Police.  Those who oppress us want us to believe that 
they have sacrificed their lives for nothing.  I want us to believe that the 
human spirit can and will prevail over brute force.  Thank you all for 
listening.

(Kyle leads a light applause at the conclusion of the speech.)  

(Lou looks around and sees something up above.)  

LOU:  Gun!  Everybody move!

(Everyone moves into action.  The agents run and sweep Nanda Sang off of the 
stage.  Other agents take their guns out and head for the second floor.)

LOU:  Secure the perimeter!

finds a person standing in front of the opening with a gun in his hand.)

makes eye-contact with Shinji.  He recognizes her instantly.)  

SHINJI MAKITO:  It's her.

SHINJI MAKITO:  The other assassin.

(They both take off after Nanda Sang.)

Shinji and stops.)

JAKE:  Wai--

SHINJI MAKITO:  What's wrong?

(Camera zooms into Jake's eyes.  The nanites inside him have gone haywire.  Jake 
blinks.  His sight gets overbright and overexposed.  He turns to look at Shinji 
and everything goes dark.)  

JAKE:  I can't see.

(From the other room, an agent screams.)  

SHINJI MAKITO:  Give me your gun.

JAKE:  No.

(Another agent screams.)  

SHINJI MAKITO:  (shouts)  Give it to me!

cuts the second agent.  He falls to the floor.)

JAKE:  She's your sister?

SHINJI MAKITO:  Yes.

YUKI MAKITO:  When I heard of your failure, I prayed you were dead.  I'm ashamed

(Shinji and Nanda Sang stand on the inside of the room.  Yuki Makito is up 
against the wall, her own sword is embedded into her left shoulder pinning her

JAKE:  Eye drops?

DIANE:  Super Eye-drops.

JAKE:  Really?

DIANE:  No.  It's just eye drops.  Don't do anymore stupid things.

JAKE:  Well, I won't if you won't.

(Diane turns around shocked that he said that.  Jake jumps down from the exam 
table and walks over to her.)  

JAKE:  Next time an International Peace Activist invites you up to his room, 
don't go.

DIANE:  Oh, oh.  Well, you know, Bono's coming to town next weekend.  I heard 
that he has a thing for me.

JAKE:  Yeah.

(He chuckles.)  

JAKE:  I am sorry about what happened with Dr. Sang.

DIANE:  Yeah, me too.  I saw his speech on t.v.  It was extraordinary.  I could 
see how he dazzled Congress into backing his cause.  It's a good cause.

JAKE:  Yes, it is.  Too bad he's such a - 

DIANE:  Scumbag!

JAKE:  That's the word I'm looking for.

DIANE:  Well.  You know, it's hard to reconcile a great man with the stupid 
things they sometimes do.

(She looks at Jake.)  

JAKE:  (agrees)  Yeah. - (He stops when he realizes what she just said.)  Oh, I 
see.  Now we've subtlety segued back to me.

(Diane chuckles.)  

JAKE:  All right.  I promise not to play with myself - hmm - let me rephrase 
that.  I promise not to play with my nanites anymore.

DIANE:  (nods)  Mmm.  Okay.  Even though it's for a really, really good cause

(Jake sits down.  He passes the file folder to Shinji.)  

JAKE:  Open that.

(Shinji opens the file folder.  Inside, he finds a whole new identity for 
himself.  He removes his new ID and looks at it.)  

SHINJI MAKITO:  Is this me?

(Jake nods.)  

JAKE:  What?  It's the new you.  Apprentice sushi chef at a hip new restaurant 
in Spokane Washington.  Looks like you, talks like you and dreams of a life of 
filleting mackerel instead of people.

SHINJI MAKITO:  He's a free man?

JAKE:  Absolutely.  Well, except for the surveillance and you have to check in 
once a week.

SHINJI MAKITO:  Thank you.  And my sister?

JAKE:  She's in custody.  Bureau of Diplomatic Security.

SHINJI MAKITO:  I am grateful you have found a path for her that doesn't end in 
death.  (Shinji stands up.)  If you ever need it, my life is in your hands.

JAKE:  I appreciate that, but I'd rather you keep it.

(They smile and shake hands.)  

CUT TO:



[INT. NSA - HALLWAY - NIGHT]

(Valerie Warner walks through the hallway when her phone rings.)  

VALERIE WARNER:  This is Valerie.

MALE VOICE:  (from phone)  I'm sorry to disturb you Director, but I thought 
you'd want to know.  Your ex-husband?  Something terrible has happened to him.

(She stops walking.)  

VALERIE WARNER:  (to phone)  What?

CUT TO:



[INT. PRISON - INTERVIEW ROOM -- NIGHT]  

(Valerie Warner talks with Dumont.)  

VALERIE WARNER:  My ex-husband Carl was found beaten to death.  The brain 
injuries are so severe, he can barely recognize his own children.

DUMONT:  That's a shame.  If I had a daddy, it'd make me really sad if he didn't 
know who I was, but I don't feel bad knowing what he did to you.  You shouldn't 
either.

VALERIE WARNER:  I don't.

(Valerie Warner leans forward.)  

VALERIE WARNER:  How did you do it?

(Dumont notes the move.  He leans forward.)  

DUMONT:  I don't know what you're talking about.  

VALERIE WARNER:  Tell me.  What do you want?

(He leans in closer.)  

DUMONT:  The same exact thing you do.  

(They look at each other.  Valerie Warner nods.)  

CUT TO:



[INT. NSA - SAT OPS -- NIGHT]  

(Lou walks around the command center.)  

(Kyle walks into the command center with a grim look on his face.  He walks 
straight to Lou.)  

KYLE:  That prisoner transport van never made it to State.

LOU:  She escaped.

KYLE:  Butchered everyone in the van.

LOU:  Where's Jake?

CUT TO:



[INT. NSA - PARKING STRUCTURE -- NIGHT]  

(Jake is walking to his car when his cell phone rings.  He answers it.)  

JAKE:  (to phone)  Hey.  It's Jake.

VOICE:  (over phone)  Jake, I've got Director Beckett on the line.

(Through the car door reflection, Jake sees something orange-ish moving quickly 
toward him.)  

(Behind him, we see Yuki Makito running toward him dressed in prison orange.  In 
her hand she has a small knife.)  

(As soon as she gets close enough, Jake turns around and shoots her right 
between her eyes.)  

(She falls down dead.)  

(Jake looks at her and takes a deep breath.)  

LOU:  (from phone)  Jake?  Are you all right?

(He holsters his gun and returns to the phone conversation.)  

JAKE:  (to phone)  Yes.  I'm fine.  Situation is resolved.  South parking lot by 
my car.  One dead.

(He hangs up and appears a bit in shock.)

(Camera slowly pulls back as Jake leans back against his car waiting for the 
others to arrive.)  

FADE TO BLACK.
