Episode 1
-The weakness of the ray-
Dawn - outdoors - Beach
Hawk gaze begins to follow the scene of a girl running
down the beach running and nobody knows that ...
The purple
light of dawn and the mist of the waves flooding the landscape.
In the distance there is a woman who comes
running from the front.
Andrea - runs like running away from something and not
knowing what , she is tired and hurt like she had to struggle to run.
It resonates in her head her own breathing and
at times seems to perceive barks and screams. She just runs stunned without
understanding what happens, climbs a dune and when she is thinking about taking
a break, behind her, two Japanese fighter planes of World War II pass by and
drop two bombs that explode next to her and do not give her time to think, one of them makes her fly and
land on a dune, she is exhausted, looks up to see the planes lost in the
distance, breathing for a moment and then she just keeps running until she
reaches a hill.
Morning . Outdoors - Forest
Andrea is still running, and no noises are heard, she rests, does not know how she got there or why,
cannot remember, only images that pass like a flash of an unarmed puzzle, a
fight in the trenches, planes, bombs, a factory and a kind of samurai and she
who kills him on a mountain, clouds ...
then she gets into the woods and keeps running, now
slower, checks that nobody is following her, then keeps running until she reaches
a path and sees a glade ... and she can not run anymore and does not understand
anything that happens, tries to remember, she feels puzzled , takes a deep
breath gasping for air, the sound of heartbeats in her head, she closes her
eyes for a moment, her eyes reopen again, looks up and she is completely
bewildered and suddenly for a second her head explodes in a flash of images ...
Andrea’s Head - imprecise Place.
Someone says her name - Andrea !!!! Just someone, just
a being, the closest thing to a Monk sitting in the lotus position in one
place, clouds, a temple ...
Forest Glade - midmorning
Andrea shakes her dazed head, she is better already since she recovered her
breath and begins to look at everything with the eyes of someone who
understands this is a dream.
At the other end of the glade Andrea sees a strange
door that she understands is a passage to another dimension, just like in the
temple…
Doorman has his back to the output path when Andrea
arrives, talking to himself and moving a bit ,throwing punches in the air until
suddenly perceives the presence of someone, then smiles and turns and looks at
Andrea as if he was hungry and she was a tray of his favourite dish. Andrea has
recovered her breath and, realizing there is no one behind and looking at the
door to another dimension and at the guy with makeup, understands that going
through that door, somehow, is the only way to runaway from this world.
Andrea’s
head - rather vague place varying every second between light, synaptic flashes
and galaxies.
Once again the image of the Monk, clearer now,
speaking without moving his lips, for a moment that is all that she can
tell - The door to return to your world
Glade - Day - midmorning
Andrea looks at the door, although she had understood,
the voice in her head repeats -To go
back to your world you have to walk through the door - The voice lingers in her head while the Doorman stretches and smiles.
Andrea is standing already while Doorman turns and
looks away with a smile painted on his makeup skull mask. Doorman is a huge,
muscular guy, at first glance looks like a warrior who is beyond the laws of mortal humans, with
his sparse makeup and a green lightning tattoo that passes through his chest and face , just
like a scar, he laughs with that sense of safety of those who had already
conquered their death long ago.
Andrea can not help but laugh and think - lol this may
not be more than a dream, she looks and smiles at the doorman and looks also at
the door and comes to distinguish behind the other side ... her room. Laughing, Doorman encourages her - Come
die with me sis.
Andrea looks and laughs and thinks
– hell, this is my dream, I'll
have to start having lighter dinner! -
uninhibited , she comes closer and looks at the impressive Doorman with the confidence of someone who has control
over the situation.
Doorman - Sister, you know the sacred words that let
you go to your world? Doorman smiles
with demon eyes, like the famous fairy elf, sure that the answer will be
incorrect.
Andrea laughs -
lol so? quiet , she scratches her head
not realizing that Doorman is already upon her, having moved so rapidly that by
the time she sees him, he is already throwing a kick that makes her fly to the
floor leaving her totally shocked, dazed and coughing blood while Doorman plays
around pure exhibitionism. Doorman moves
from side to side like a cat playing with its prey; his movements are so fast
that from time to time seems to disappear…until he stops
and goes back to his position in front of the door.
Doorman is in front of the door as a security guard in
a very private place and his unique sense of being in life seems to be not to
let anyone through that door without the proper invitation and he lets Andrea known.
Doorman - Sister, my task is simple, no one goes
through this door without mentioning the sacred word ... or fight and beat me
and believe that I will not treat you softer
because you are a woman, you know, this door is in a path for warriors. He cracks his fingers and smiles.
The sun is beginning to lift over the trees, Andrea
sits, spitting blood and cursing,
resisting once again, stands up and thinks - this is just a stupid dream…
and that thought for a moment takes away the pain and she reaches to take a
deep breath, stands in a fighting position and says – Come
on clown, this is my dream!
Doorman, with devil eyes - those
are not the words sis! And turning ,
without giving her the opportunity to throw a punch, kicks her in the head and
another and another and Andrea returns to the floor bleeding ... - says son of
a bitch while her head is a buzzing nothingness and everything revolves around
her. Crawls across the floor and suddenly sees something that she hadn´t
noticed before, the place is full of
human bones, a skull that looks buried by time, still dazed and bleeding
heavily from the nose.
Doorman is now once again taking his place, Andrea is
no longer laughing, on the contrary ,she gets up and looks serious.
Doorman - …the Word sis – while he stretches .
Andrea looks at him and thinks ... The word ... what
word? Looks at him and realizes that it is impossible to
defeat the Doorman, is the body of a
warrior, a machine forever prepared to kill and with all the power of having a
dimensional role. Again she feels the flash in her head.
Andrea´s Head
The voice that speaks to her - Andrea, you have to
find a weakness
Glade -Noon.
Andrea looks at
Doorman and begins to think about the outline of the human body she had studied
at the temple, looking at the possibility of a weak point, the body outline
merges with the Doorman body.
Doorman - Come on sister, think, say something, is not
difficult.
Andrea cannot
do anything but smile , says – may I? and tries to attack him.
Doorman looks at her and nods, smiles and shakes his
head and index slowly, this time Andrea makes a greater effort to defend herself and throws several punches but for
Doorman, this is a kids game, Andrea finally reaches to hit him again…too bad
for her… hook, hook, and other flying roundhouse kick . Andrea falls on the
ground but Doorman catches her, grabs her by the chin to accommodate her up and kisses her rather like licking her blood
as those who enjoy an appetizer before the main course..
Doorman - Sister, sister do not fall ... breath. That
was not the word, breath!!!!! -
The clouds begin
to move faster while Doorman holds her and gently kisses her cheeks until
Andrea finally can stand up, then Doorman releases her and starts giving a
series of jumps and turns as if instead of fighting he was exhibiting a show of
ballet, dancing and tossing flying kicks until the last bursts on Andrea's face
who falls almost unconscious, barely
reaches to crawl a few meters.
Andrea's mind begins to fill with lights and stars
almost ready to faint the voice telling her - weakness, weakness weakness ... crosses
her mind once again... this voice is lost while flashbacks of the human body and
potentially fatal points fulfill what is left
in her brain , this prototype body is superimposed on the image of
Doorman, who is pretending to be at a crowded arena, stretches his arms and
walks like a champion listening at the acclaims and the imaginary applause.
Andrea is still trying to see something in her memories of what she had learned
at the temple.
Andrea is just dragging and thinking - weaknesses, no weak points. Doorman is completely
ignoring her as he is in a dream of Glory, Andrea finds a bone in the grass and
takes it without being noticed ... then she
faints.
The sky begins
to move very fast, the passing clouds and the sun begin to fall, is mid-afternoon already , the clouds are tinged
with red, Doorman stands motionless against the door as the clouds pass by in
an unnatural speeding.
Andrea seems suddenly to wake up, open her eyes
quickly in a delirium for her missing arm and sees him sitting, quietly eating
her arm, Doorman looks at her smiling and seems to enjoy his bloody meal, like a zombie from hell.
Once again Andrea wakes up, it was just a
nightmare. She squints around and
everything is in the place, her body still intact and feels better, but
remembers the beating and that monster. But…no…the nightmare continues ...Andrea
squeezes the bone in her hand and decides to close her eyes and hope.
Doorman feels
something and moves his eyes fast to look at her, but sees nothing and stays in his place,
... the sun goes down fast.
Doorman looks happy as the defining time has come and
moves toward Andrea, not straight but in zigzag like a snake
sliding on the grass, twirling and doing pirouettes. While Doorman moves like a
snake, there is a real one coming out of a skull and from above a hawk circling
watching the scene.
Doorman slides and moves around, thinking that
she is faint. He speaks like a hiss -
-Sister ... wake up, this is brother Doorman, it's almost time, ending the
cycle of the sun on earth, brother ... this has to stop, while Andrea who is awake but moves just as if
still agonizing, is still thinking - Weakness.
Doorman is enjoying the scene as he believes it is
time to finish. - Wake up sister, it's time to die, - one last chance my sister, you know the word? Speaks with deadly sweetness while stroking her hair
full of blood and puts it away from his face
Andrea moves slowly and moves her lips mumbling
something, Doorman fails to listen then he approaches in a confident way . Andrea like lightning, hits his temples with the bone, with all the strength she has, leaving him
dazed and beats him again and again
until she smashes his head, hitting him
with all the rage until the head turns into an unrecognizable sac of eyes and broken teeth, hair and bones.
Doorman is now dead , his nerves , one leg and fingers trembling
mechanically. Andrea does not stop, all the anger is taken out with both hands
up screaming and leaves, then she stops… AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... looks at
him again , he has no face or anything like it.
Andrea leaves him and breathes - Weak, arrogant son of
a bitch there you have your sacred word ... and I'm not your sister freak , my name is Andrea ... .screams back
and kicks AAAAAAHHHH !!!! And she laughs
and looks at the door and across the room and laughs.
Suddenly she looks to the side and sees in the distant
landscape , another character who does nothing, is just there staring . Andrea
sees it and feels frightened ... – oh no please God no!! not
another !! She runs to the door
and passes through as quickly as possible.
In the landscape, seen from above, the body of Doorman and the man sitting waiting patiently , while the hawk circles down to rest on his
hand.
The character is the same Monk Andrea could hear
in her mind. He caresses the bird while watching from afar the Doorman
returning to life as his head and broken bones are regenerated. When the process ends he releases the bird who returns to its flight and goes to the door – Doorman, take your
place again. His face is already rebuilt
but there are still traces of blood and flesh still unregenerate to be cleaned,
looks to be approaching and mechanically repeats the verse - Come die with me
brother, you know the sacred word to cross the door? Asks, letting his foot over the Monk’s face.
The Monk looks at him, looks at his feet in front of his face and replies – Sure. How much is it ...?
Doorman lows down his foot - three coins, of any kind or whatever you have to give. - He tells accommodating his neck and showing he
is in pain.
The Monk looks and gives him the three coins,
while leaving, says - Good fight Doorman.
Doorman looks at him with a sneer as he passes
through.
The monk goes his way inside the door and while
crossing he wonders -
nobody comes this way anymore, I
am the last one I guess -and disappears.
The sun was almost hiding in the horizon behind the
trees, a snake passing between the bones ... Doorman thinks -
good fight ... bastard monk! Looks aside
... look to the other, impatient, looking at the door and across the city and
wonders ... - What will be this strange world they all go about ? Well, I think I need a change, this work has bored
me already – He also goes through the door and then the door disappears,
leaving an empty scenery and a bird
flying.
Episode 2
"The power of the Butterfly"
Characters:
Fusatti - Squad Leader
Squad: Garcia - Campora-
Pintos- Lemos- Pereyra and Ramos.
Andrea reloaded - expert in martial
arts and combat.
Goliath - samurai warrior, skilled in
swordplay and martial arts.
Monk
Girl of about 10 years old.
Outdoors - Sky – Day, early afternoon.
The hawk perches on a branch in the jungle.
The Hercules flies very low. The plane tries to go unnoticed despite its
size and be low enough to release a group of paratroopers without anyone
noticing. The manoeuvre is perfect and the plane leaves.
Radio - Alfa
to Base , wolves are already on the
ground, and we retire, there are many military air activity across the border .
Don’t want to
rise a conflict - a group of military planes flying in
formation is seen from far .
Radio
off - Good luck wolves, and we withdrew. The air is thick, we are at the point of
extraction at 6 pm , guys ... we have four hours, I end communication, over and
out. The Hercules leaves.
Military
aircraft patrolling the border in the distance is seen while -in Off- we can hear a conversation between Andrea and
the Zen monk. .
Andrea
-
And losers? What happens to them?
… and to us? She corrects herself - if we
can not really die, an image of the Doorman comes back to life, ... what really
happens to us?
Monk - Which is the power of a
butterfly?
Jungle
–outdoors- day
The
military is already on the ground and begin to unfold and move a group of 7 men
no more.
The
conversation continues in off -
Andrea
... the fire that unfolds in its wings ...? Despite its fragility knows how to
handle drafts and despite its short life can conquer space, fly and be one
among the flowers ... say the flap of a butterfly can cause a hurricane on the
other side of the world ... but what is the point, teacher? ... And the prize? if this is a tournament, what's the prize?
Fusati
studies a digital map looking for a particular item. Pointing to his right and
giving directions on how to move forward.
Monk - The butterfly has not always been
a butterfly, once crawled the earth as caterpillar, had to die as such to raise
its wings and fly, went through a
process ... The losers return to another life to continue learning, just wake up
in another reality until one day the blood recalls and the warrior finds a new
challenge, ... a warrior can not runaway from itself, like a butterfly cannot
help being one, even though it was born caterpillar.... do you believe that
your strength lies in your size? Which is the prize? Why did you start to
fight?
The
squad continues to move quickly and stealthily.
Andrea
- I realized that the world respects strength and is afraid of the pain. The
world squeeze you until you have no more to defend yourself or be a victim. ...
I understand, going beyond the mere force, give me a place to stand and I will
move the world, the power of the butterfly lies in its ability to handle
between drafts no matter how strong they are. The strength lies not in the size
and the prize ... is ... no longer being a caterpillar.
Monk
- think you're ready for the next level ?
Andrea
- I think I'm ready to fly teacher ...
or die. In the forest, a butterfly
flies near Fusati while Andrea says these words
Fusati communicates with the squad from a small
transmitter that all the members of the team carry on their right shoulder ,
connected to a headset - Well fellows…
we are 300 meters
from the border, 1000 meters from the
action point , according to the sat nav .
On the other side there is no one to look after us, Move more carefully
from now on. Campora - replies – ok Daddy, thanks for taking care
of us.
Lemos-
understood ...
Fusati
- This has to be really simple, c’mon, and we get paid! , the mission is just
to rescue the only daughter of a senator and prominent businessman kidnapped by a group of drug traffickers not too expert
or experienced in guerrilla. As
instructed , three kidnapped people, the girl, an employee
of the company and the nanny, the priority is the child the others are
expendable.
Pereyra - that is, we are getting paid for the girl
only.. don’t know who’s worse.
Fusati
-The kidnappers sent an employee finger to the company , but we don’t know if he or the nurse may be
involved , so concentrate on the main goal.
Garcia
-who would cut off a finger to avoid being a suspect?
Campora
- You would not believe the things that some can do for money and if we add to
that political fanaticism, everything’s
possible.
Fusati -
Exactly, we don’t know what game they are playing so pay close attention
to everything. 100 meters to reach the
border so guys, be quiet, we’ve entered
hostile area . The girl is about ten years old and we guess they may be in an
abandoned factory . Please check all the
information regarding the mission before leaving . Fusati
looks at the photo of the kidnapped girl in the same screen and instantly
resets the gadget that seems to be a cell phone in GPS mode .The squad copy
instructions.
Fusati
– Love it when you do your job .See you some metres forward, over
and out.
The
squad move forward silently and stealthily the next 700 metres until they
see from far the old factory and stop, body to the ground so they get the
chance to stare and plan the next movement on location. The old building seems
a desert with the exception of some hens that move freely all over the place.
Ramos
reports, whispering almost
Ramos
– Something is wrong boss
Fusati
– Yeah, I´ve noticed too
Campora
–Besides it´s really hot here , what
else am I missing?
Pereyra
–That we got to the action point and we haven´t seen a single guard yet, in the
last 700 metres
since we crossed the border, that makes no sense, don´t you think so?
Campora
– Yeah, so fucking true. They may be just a few.
Pintos
- still looking through binoculars – Seems to be desert , I don’t see anyone – gives the binoculars to Fusati..
Fusati
can´t see anything, not a single movement, not a single person.
Lemos-
this is really weird.
Fusati-
Lemos and Pereyra , right flank, Ramos
and Pintos on the left, Campora stay with me , Garcia behind, we are going to
approach carefully .
Garcia
– I´ll watch your ass , assembles a
rifle with telescopic sight and places himself as a sniper.
They
spread out and quietly slide with their weapons ready, everybody on their own
until reaching the factory. Except for the hens, the place seems a ghost town.
Lemos
– whispers his report – Nobody over here
, this is making me feel nervous.
Pintos
– Nobody over here either . Wait !!! See something moving some containers
garbage cans Something moves !! - Pintos
points his gun, and goes to the place , Ramos follows covering the area between
the two, the rest of the squad paying close attention .- From the containers
runs a dog with something in his mouth ... Ramos – shit! Just a fucking
dog. Where the hell is everybody ? .Campora – Quiet!, you´ll have to shoot him ,
trust me , they might be napping. Covers the communicator’s microphone and asks
Fusati –Sure this is the place boss ?
Fusati
– looks at him like saying “ I’m never
wrong” – Somebody has to feed the hens .
Campora
– OK !!!
Fusati -
We are getting in! . We go on the
front, you look for entrances by the flanks and then spread out, - let’s go work fellows . Synchronize your watches , we got 3 hours left
to get to the extraction point with the package.
Ramos
y Pintos finish synchronizing their
chronometers , three hours countdown.
Ramos
–Affirmative, there’s a door on this side
Lemos
– Affirmative, there’s an open window on this side …let’s go work!.
Garcia
–listens carefully and ready to shoot something checks everything through the
telescopic sight but sees nothing at all – I cover you, but shit, not a signal
of Christian life here, just the hens …- repeats Fusati´s words– Somebody has
to feed them , go and be careful.
Fusati smiles at Campora and with his hand
gives the signal to enter and so they do.
Garcia
keeps observing, suddenly, through a window of the second floor that has no
glasses, for a second , thought to see
something - the image of a person completely out of the ordinary, more like a
hallucination, sees an enormous being, similar to a Genghis Can , a samurai out of a
video game completely out of the ordinary that looks at him smiling and holding
a head in one hand and a sword in the other, but the vision is too fleeting, too
fast ... when he looks back, sees nothing , set the sight, but still nothing .
Too surreal to take it into account.
Garcia
– covers the mic of the communicator, dries his sweat - Shit, I should be affected by the heat.
Factory
- outdoor - afternoon
The light barely filters through some windows with broken glass inside the factory but the place is mostly dim as much of the windows are covered or painted black on purpose.
Ramos and Pinto pass through a door leading to a hallway and begin to move slowly.
Pereyra and Lemos enter through a window of what looks like an office, abandoned long ago.
Campora and Fusati move from the main entrance down to a long hallway that leads to different rooms may well have been deposits or offices.
Everybody move in twos until they reach a hallway and there begin to separate one to the right and one to the left, until all are alone. Suddenly from somewhere in the factory a scream of terror is heard, everyone is paralyzed.T
Pereyra
- is the first to speak - Shit, did you hear that?
Pintos
– well… seems we´ve arrived in the middle of the party… the bastards must be
torturing someone.
Fusati
- Well, stay tuned, looks like we are in the right place after all, the girl
must be somewhere, remember the purpose of the mission and don´t get
distracted, if you see her, report right
away, don´t act alone and don´t play it
cool, over and out.
Campora
- disconnects the communicator but leaves the headphones – don´t act alone ...
always looking for leadership, the party
begins ... where are you freaks ?
Lemos
and Ramos quietly move , really attentive, they´re on their own.
Ramos
turns left into a corridor and finds out that the hallway walls are painted
with blood, the floor is also full of blood ... keeps going until he reaches a
door, under which the blood comes out of the room .
Pintos
walks up the stairs.
Ramos
– reports- I'm on the right wing and it seems that there has been a massacre here, there´s blood everywhere!
Ramos
pushes the door gently, but this is locked with something on the floor, then
Ramos pushes stronger and enters and freezes when he sees that what it was
locking the door was a lot of stacked and broken bodies.
Ramos
oh God !!!!
He
doesn´t have the chance to say anything else when he hears the voice of Goliath
behind him.
Goliath-
yes, God! God! But not your God! and in two moves goes through him with his
sword and cuts his head and Ramos remains like one more in a pile of broken bodies.
Fusati
- Ramos !!! Ramos !!! What the hell is happening there ? - Start to get nervous
- please report to the team, I can´t communicate with Ramos
Pintos-
I'm on the second floor.
Lemos-
still looking for the girl , I´ll go there right away
Pereyra
- here I come.
Garcia
- I'm here but I see nothing, what do you want me to do ?
Everybody
reports but Campora.
Fusati
– Keep searching, Garcia, stay in your position, Pereyra and lemos to the right wing, Campora !! Campora do you hear me ?. Campora !!!! ...
Campora
- talking to himself, ´ of course I hear
you , but this is my party - goes into the hall where was Ramos¨ last position,
-
Where are you bastards ? Suddenly sees
Goliath standing down the hall and waves his hand, inviting him to move - Motherfucker, firing a
full magazine, shots ring out in the factory - Campora empties the magazine but
shoots nothing. Goliath is like a shadow that comes and goes while approaches without being seen. Goliath takes the knife and cuts Campora in
two halves with his sword and Campora falls to his knees on the floor like a
fish gasping while bleeding from his mouth until gets dry right there , while
Goliath leaves and passes him by, just like a killing machine, programmed for
murder.
Outsides
of the factory - afternoon
Garcia
still looking through the scope, now he begins to believe again that what he
saw before was not a vision, he suddenly sees Pintos from a second-floor window
and sees Goliath who appears behind him. Shit Pintos behind you - Shoots but has
no time to do anything but seeing when Goliath, in just two movements, kills
Pintos with the sword and when he reaches to shoot Goliath he is already using
Pintos as his shield. He gets shot in the middle of the chest and Goliath
disappears unnaturally fast
-
Fuck!, Garcia leaves his position and rifle and goes down
with a gun only.
Fusati's
voice is heard over the comm..
Fusati-
Pintos !!!! Garcia !!!
what the hell is going on?
Garcia
- He is on the second floor, the son of a bitch killed Pintos !!! comes down
and gets into the factory.
Factory - Indoors - afternoon
Lemos
, Pereyra and Fusati move extremely
nervous about the hallways as lost in a maze. Garcia goes mad and half the hall
sees Goliath stood quiet but doesn’t see across the aisle when Lemos also sees Goliath
and yells.
Lemos
- Stay still !!!
Garcia,
furious - He’s mine !!! Shoots , but
again, Goliath moves like a shadow and
Garcia's gun is emptied over Lemos´ body,
the last thing he sees is his partner falling and a dagger that flies
like lightning and is buried in his chest.
Fusati
– extremely nervous - Garcia !!! Lemos !!!! he goes through the same aisle and finds
them both - No !!!! What the fuck is going on ? Pereyra hears everything by the
transmitter.
. Pereyra - Fusati !! found the girl I'm on the second
floor in the central wing, let's go away from here! .
Fusati
- running down the hall - I'm almost there, I’ll cover
you !!! I don’t know what the hell is going on, everybody’s dead!.
-
Fusati reaches the central wing and sees, from the heights, Pereyra´s body falling like lead to the floor. He
comes to his aid and squats but in vain, he is already more than dead. He panics
for a moment over the dead body of his only companion.
Fusati
- Campora !!! Lemos !! ,Pintos !!! Where is everybody?
Then
he sees him standing in the middle of the central wing of the front of the
factory , with the girl hanging like a
rag doll - Goliath looks quiet.
Goliath
lifts the child as if she was a trophy –
are you here for the prize?…
-
not a single player worth?
Fusati
still kneeling beside his dead companion, doesn’t understand what is happening,
but sees the girl and realizes that there is no longer anyone and it is that
giant he has to fight with, and no drug traffickers, guerrilleros…he stands, it
is decided.
Fusati
– leaves his weapons on the floor - Let the child go, bastard.
Goliath
- smiles - Sure, it's only the prize - I do not fight with girls only with
good-looking warriors willing to play the game - and he puts the girl on the
ground, she’s scared to death, the tears had left a furrow in her dirty face. –By
the way…you were all really bad players, I don’t understand how you made it to
this level.
Fusati
talks to the girl, who is terrified - Come with me... - the girl decides to trust him
and runs and hides behind him – I don’t know what game you're talking about - tells
Goliath, you killed all my men ... you killed
them all.
Goliath
- draws his sword – What is that you don’t understand? That 's the game you came to play and I am
Goliath ... enough talking! After the
game starts there is no way to turn back! The battle is to death, rules are
rules, although I admit I expected something else. Goliath begins to stalk
Fusati who is ready to fight. He takes
out his armour and his mask and his face is crossed by a scar, no less
frightening than the mask, Fusatti is disarmed, but he grabs an iron tool from
the ground and starts fighting, while the girl cries in a corner.
Fusati
tries to beat Goliath again and again, but each time, he only manages to get a
cut of the sword of Goliath, until finally he falls, exhausted and bleeding all
over, kneeling in front of his superior enemy already ready to deliver the
final blow.
Goliath
- raises his sword ready to cut his head – Game over.
Andrea
, flying feet on the floor, looking for
a foothold, jumps and flies over Goliath,
doing a butterfly kick that disarms him and leaves him totally misplaced.
Andrea -standing against Fusati and Goliath - I think you screwed up big foot, The player is me, the game starts now. Looks at Fusati – you can go. Thanks for
making him get undress, in the end, this is always the same…-smiling - this is going to be very easy.
Fusati
doesn’t think twice, with his last strength, grabs the girl and runs away from
that place, he looks back before leaving and sees Andrea once again flying and
hitting the invincible giant. Doesn’t look back again, just runs out of there.
Factory
- outdoor - afternoon
Fusati
out with the girl in his arms,
communicating by radio – Alfa, do you copy me? I have the package and I’m
going to the extraction zone, Alfa do
you copy me?
Again, the Hercules flying over low - the voice heard on the transmitter – Wolf

Episode 3
D.C. 217
.CHINA is mired in rebellion. Are the last days for the Han Dynasty. Most imperial soldiers that have survived to the
end times of rebellion have been abandoned in the Provinces to their fate. Those
who understand what is really happening and realize that the emperor in a
puppet and the power is in the hands of major Dong Zhuo, were faced with the
decision to drop out. Dong Zhuo knows
about the golden dagger, created by the emperor Wu, for the favorite of his commanders,
about 50 years before. That dagger was a
symbol of power and it was said that it gave supernatural powers to whom it
possessed it. So Dong Zhu became obsessed with finding it, but ... "THE
DRAGON FANG" did not want him back …The dynasty and the dagger disappeared
in time and legend.
-The Dragon Fang-
It had been forged during the heyday of the
Han Dynasty. It disappeared with the lost empire and returned to appear in Europe by the early last century. The sacred jewel was
coveted by all the great heads in China
That is the
true power of “ The Dragon Fang”, symbol of greatness and maximum force.
A man of
eastern facial features flees frightened,
from a wagon to another while two other men, Chinese also, run after him
a wagon behind. The man gets to the end of the train, gets out and climbs to
the roof.
Train roof
-outdoors –day
The first
man gets to the train roof while the others try to get him and start shooting.
In Chinese they tell him to give them the “Fang” but he refuses. One of the
other two men fires a gun and wounds him in the leg and, on his knees, the man falls.
He turns
and looks at the others that are almost over him and are threatening him with a
gun while they say – “Traitor !!! you thought you could escape! the power of the fang is too much for you and
your family”-
The man stares as the train begins to cross a
bridge over a cliff, turns around completely so he sees them face to face for
the first time and with a smile jumps off the train leaving the men helpless
and full of rage. Completely frustrated as they thought they already had their
prize.
His body
travels through the air on a slow free fall while the man closes his eyes and
puts his hands on a dagger at his waist . For a moment he could see the smile
of the Golden Dragon. And his last words… - “Find your destiny”
Voiceover Monk
-"Fate has unexplained ways."
-"The
game of chances is a timeless mystery”-
-
"The
mystery of the Dragon is a timeless mystery”
The last stretch
of the fall, full speed, more than 1000 meters of "free fall" that no
human being could endure…. The river takes the body and while this is pulled in
the jungle, other chase is happening ... another hunting…human hunting human
Jungle-.
outdoors. -day.
A big man, long hair and beard, looking as a
hunter, flees through the jungle. Behind him, rabid mastiff dogs are heard
barking. Trained to kill , pretty much
like their owners…eager to see the blood of their prey. The pack of 7 dogs and
5 horsemen, armed and furious , chasing
a man who runs like an animal, wounded and tied , trying to survive.
Monk -
The dragon is like the river that goes on, and nothing can stop its way.
A powerful
head and a long body as an impenetrable wall.
The dragon
is the symbol of the power of an organization far above a particular
individual.
A dragon
has no weaknesses and that makes it the most powerful creature on Earth.
But fate is
never as the powerful intend. The dragon chooses who to belong to.
The dogs
bark closer. The man is trying to escape , he falls off a cliff ending at the
river bank. He is hurt, tired and groggy and then he sees it…
…The dragon
fang, shining on the dead body by the shore…
The sound
of the dogs barking get stronger but begin to fade, echoing in the distance, as
the man stares only at the sacred jewel lying there. . At one point he comes
back from that moment of trance and goes quickly towards the corpse and grabs
the dagger while the dead man seems to look at him, like if he was trying to say
something. …And then…the dagger comes out of its “pod” and it doesn´t matter if
it´s made of gold, it only matters the sound of metal cutting the air and then
the ropes…while the smiles of the Golden Dragon and the “hunter” melt together
in an ancient gesture..
The dogs are almost there, he can hear them
barking right next to him, ready to “smash” him alive, but he can only smile as
he cuts a piece of the dead man´s shirt and ties up the dagger to his hand and
wraps up his arms to protect himself from being bitten. The dogs are here to
catch their prey, but he is not going anywhere…
Further
back, the human pack and someone who says "let´s go!". The dogs have
found him already and another man says "hurry up! before there's nothing
left" another one laughs and says -
"My dogs are only going to hurt him a little," and two other men,
both of them laborers laugh like idiots and say nothing. They can only listen
to the laughter an euphoria of what it was meant to be an easy job…but….the
barking fades and after one last groan…a deadly silence ……they wait and hope to
hear a sound that never comes until one of them says “ no way…” He hits the horse and gallops while the
others follow him.
When the hunters arrive, their dogs are diving
in branches, skinless as sheep after being shredded. On a rock, written with fresh blood… “ you
are next”
Then, half
the group goes into a state of hysteria. They walk in circles and curse , not believing what it has just happened... one
of them weeps for his dogs, as he shouts "I WILL KILL YOU"
- "Let's kill the damn," says another
- "This is not normal," says one of the frightened laborers
- "I don´t want to stay here"
-"You
bastard!" says another pointing at
his fellow with a gun
-"This is not normal" -
repeats.
-
"Let´s
catch that son of a bitch! No one´s leaving…if you try so, I´ll kill you
myself!”
Monk-
A dragon is
like time that nobody can stop. The heart of a dragon is made of fire and that
is how a dragon chooses his master…attracted by fire…this time, the fire if
revenge…
Jungle-
Outdoors - Sunset
The bonfire
is huge but nothing compared to the snow that starts to fall. The Men are angry,
scared and tired; so they decide to postpone the hunt and take turns in their
surveillance.
The head is
obsessed with killing the hunter.
Chief - “Tomorrow we'll catch that son of a bitch.
He is alone, almost naked, he is just a lonely man with a knife. Tomorrow we're
going to finish this story.”
One of them
– “But what he did to the dogs is not normal” ...
Chief -
swoops down and pulls his knife –“ you scared?” asks, as if expecting a change
of attitude…” I´ll skin alive that son of a bitch!” screams -“He is just a man with a knife!, you fucking
coward!” He calms down…” You start the night shift”
He looks at
the forest, with beast hunter eyes…”He is just a man…” says quietly…” just a
man with a knife…”
Forest-
Night
The hunter
is shivering with the knife in his hands, the Dragon and the flash lights in
his eyes make him remember the first time he saw these men. They appeared one
day, at the front door of his house offering a deal for his lands he rejected.
The arrival
of the train had brought new towns and new people to the depths of the forests.
Wood and transport were flourishing and loggers arose amid the vast forest.
The hunter
had always been a simple man. He had made a living of trapping and selling meat and skins. He lived
happily in a cottage in the deep forest, away from people, with his wife, who
was a beautiful young blond woman. The forest was getting smaller and the train
tracks were getting closer. One day, these men turned up.
They were
happy that way…she liked though, going to town with him, when he went to sale
his stuff. On the last trip, the same men were there and saw him with his wife
and a bag full of coins he had received for fur and meat. The boss, who was
trying to own all the land nearby, saw him too and made his men go and try to
intimidate him once more, in the middle of the street…but the hunter was not
the easy-to-intimidate kind of man. One of them – “Hunter, we are waiting for
an answer about the offer the boss made for your land. Open your eyes Hunter,
this land belongs to progress. The iron horse will be galloping soon…you can´t
fight against it.
From the
distance, the boss looks at them through the windows while he primps his
moustache behind the Diamond Company poster that says ¨limitless expanding” in
fine print.
The hunter
knows there is nothing they can do to him so he let them talk until he says – “
I already told you I´m not interested” and keeps on walking with his wife. When
they look over their shoulder, they see their faces, laughing maliciously.
The Hunter was a man from the woods, so he
didn´t know that evil and ambition were spreading without any limits…so,
despite the intimidations, he wasn´t expecting what happened a few nights
later. They kicked the door of his house and, made him sign to sell his land. They
beat him and his wife, tied their hands and put a knife to her throat. After
this, they took him to the woods to make him disappear.
The men are
angry and confused and when they try to find him, he is no longer there. The
boss screams – “ Hunter!! We got your woman and we will hunt you!” and he calls
his fellows –“ the dogs!! Go get the dogs!!”
The dragon
stops shinning and the hunter stops remembering. He doesn´t feel the cold, he
feels his body on fire and there is a supenatural yellow shinning in his eyes
now.
The Dragon fang shines too, like a song of
divine justice in the middle of Darkness.
The light
of fire makes easy to find the group and the hunter is now playing in his
territory and there´s a superior force that guides him in the silence of night,
he moves fast and suddenly appears right in front of one of the men keeping
watch and, with the dagger in his right hand and a long stick in the other,
rapidly moving like a lightning, goes through his throat and holds his head
with the stick while he looks into his eyes.
There is no
sound at all. The man stands dead in his place until another one wakes up – “
Hey, it´s my turn ….hey!” and horror makes him lose sense. He sees his mate
standing, leaning on a log with a stick across his throat. When he reaches to
react and raise the alarm, it´s too late. The moment he turns all he sees are
two fiery eyes and a dagger buried in his heart.
The boss
wakes up with the falling snow. It´s almost dawn. –“Why nobody woke me up?” –
nobody answers. He sees one of his
mates, still sleeping, with the blanket covering his head and decides to have a
little fun, but when he pulls the blanket up, sees the smashed head of his dead
partner unrecognizable inside that bear trap. He is shocked. He wipes and shivers
while sees another man still sleeping with both legs outside the blanket and,
when he pulls it back, only the legs remain…the body is gone.. Then he sees the
dead man standing…there is no one left. He cries, screams, gets his gun ,
helpless.
-“Hunter! Son of a bitch! You are nobody! No
one can stop progress! You are dead bastard son of a bitch!”
At that
time, right in front of him, the remains of the dead body of one of his men
falls down a tree, completely destroyed, as eaten by an animal. He sees the
hunter climbing down from branch to branch, more like a snake than like a man.
The boss
fires his gun…one, two, three, four shots…but the hunter is too fast…five,
six…he runs out of bullets. When the hunter reaches the floor, smiles at him
with burning eyes. The boss drops the gun and starts to beg.
-“ Man…this is not my fault. You can´t stop progress” -
But
the knife digs ruthlessly and in one motion, the fang opens the man in two
halves.
Just then,
the eyes of the hunter come back. He runs, wanting to get home where his wife
was. He passes through the door, desperately and she can hardly believe her
eyes when she finally sees him.
When the
Chinese who had lost the dagger on the train following its trail got to that
town, they found a horror story of a dragon who had come down from the
mountains and had killed every last employee and the owner of the Diamond
Company , in their homes, destroying them and burning their houses.
With no
Industry and no Fear, the town became a town to leave. The Chinese took the
risk and went to the Hunter´s cottage…but nothing but ashes remained.
That was
the last time the Dragon Fang was seen…until now.
The hawk overflies the empty town. Goes through rivers and mountains until a
triangle shape portal opens up in the sky and the bird goes right through it .
