EXT-Central Park-day
LEONARD and JOHN are sitting on a bench in the middle of the park.
LEONARD
So… your father has created hundreds of clone and had experiment on them. With the result, he could attain fame. However, one clone, which is your clone, has escaped, and he returned for revenge. Is it what you are telling me?
JOHN nods slowly without any words.
LEONARD
(standing up)
What a… is it true? I mean, do you really believe it? You have not trusted your father for more than 15 years, and you now trust him?
JOHN
(reluctantly)
Yeah.
LEONARD
You are insane.
JOHN
Yeah, I know… What should I do?
LEONARD
What?
JOHN
I have forgiven my father, but he asks me to kill the clone. He even knelt before me. What don’t know what should I do… Should I kill him?
LEONARD falls silent and sits back to the bench. He ponders for a long time.
LEONARD
My friend… Do what you won’t regret later on.
Suddenly LEONARD’s cell phone rings.
INTERCUT – Leonard at park/ Danielle in front of Tower
LEONARD
Hello, this is Leonard
DANIELLE
Hi, it’s me, Danielle. Come quickly to Tower.
LEONARD
What? Why?
DANIELLE
John has appeared, and He has plant the bomb at the tower. Fortunately, he let all the people escape, but he is armed and waiting our response.
LEONARD
Okay, I will be there soon
LEONARD hangs up the phone and looks at JOHN with a surprised look
LEONARD
(with a surprised look)
Your clone is at Eiffel Tower, and he has planted the bomb.
(Standing up)
Let’s go.
EXT-In LEONARD’s Car-day
JOHN and LEONARD head to the tower by LEONARD’s car. LEONARD hands one of his guns to JOHN.
LEONARD
(not facing JOHN)
Keep it… just in case.
EXT-Near Tower
LEONARD stops his car a little away from the tower.
JOHN
Why do we stop here?
LEONARD
I will draw the guards’ attention, and you sneak into the tower okay? They might catch you if you show yourself.
JOHN
(getting off)
Okay.
EXT-Back of Tower-day
LEONARD sprints to the guards.
LEONARD
I am looking for Danielle Smith, the chief. Do you know where he is?
GUARD
He is at the other side of the tower, sir.
JOHN sneaks past the guard into the tower.
LEONARD
Okay, thanks…
(VO, turning around)
…good luck my friend.
INT-In an elevator-day
JOHN takes a deep breath and looks at the floor indicator screen, and the screen shows the number changes starting from sixty-six to sixty-eight. The elevator stops.
EXT-Observation Platform-day
CLONE faces to the windows with his back on the elevator. As the bell rings, he slowly turns around and sees nothing in the elevator.
CLONE
Don’t hide from me. Come out whoever you are.
JOHN appears with the gun on his right hand.
CLONE
Wow, it’s you John. Are you doing well?… You do not seem to be surprised at all.
JOHN
(aiming the gun at CLONE)
Stop the bomb.
CLONE
(tutting)
Calm down, man. PETER might tell you about me, right? Okay, so, I do not have to explain what’s going on. Then…let’s have a conversation.
JOHN
Stop the bomb now, and I have nothing say to you.
CLONE
Well, I have something to talk to you, and you are lying
JOHN
What?
CLONE
(turning around)
If you really wanted to stop me, you would attack me from the back, and you would not come out from the elevator…
(facing JOHN again)
…Ain’t I right?
Quick shot of JOHN and CLONE on the side
JOHN
(putting down the gun)
Okay. What do you want to say?
CLONE
(grinning)
Just grant my with. It would be really easy. So here is my wish… I want to tell the truth to the world. Isn’t it easy?
JOHN
What truth are you talking about?
CLONE
Hey, you know what he has done to the clones, my brothers and sisters.
JOHN
Okay, then why is it good to you?
CLONE
(frozen face from ‘but’)
That’s a good question… Actually, there is no good of announcing the truth to the world. But… I cannot let him die peacefully; I want to see him suffering from a punishment for the fault he has made.
JOHN
(aiming gun at CLONE again)
If you want then, then you should kill me first.
CLONE
(taking his gun out)
Well, if you want so.
The scene shows the tip of the CLONE’s gun, and CLONE fires. The fight starts.
EXT-Around souvenir store-day
As JOHN and CLONE fight, they move the place near to souvenir store. Both accidentally drop the guns, and it turns into hand- to- hand combat from the gun fighting.
JOHN punches on CLONE’s face, and CLONE falls down. JOHN takes this chance to pick up the gun and aims at CLONE.
JOHN
(gasping and exhausted)
It’s over.
CLONE tries to get up, but he stops moving when he sees JOHN holding the gun. He bows the head
JOHN
Yeah… it is over.
CLONE
(crying and gasping)
Why… why… you and I are the same but why?
Quick shot of JOHN
CLONE
I have been waiting for today to meet you and… and… tell the world the truth. But why! Why do I should die at here now?
Quick shot of JOHN and CLONE on the side
CLONE
Is this what I have been waiting for? Shit…it’s unfair. You and I are the same, but why can’t I get what I want while you get everything.
JOHN
(holding a gun and gasping)
Shut up, we are not the same. You are just insane terrorist, and I am just a prosecutor who comes here to stop you.
CLONE
(stop crying and gasping)
John.
JOHN
What? Is there anything more you want to say?
CLONE
You hate your father right?
JOHN
(sarcastically)
So what?
CLONE
Let’s tell the truth to the world.
(looking up at JOHN)
Think about hundreds of corpses of the clones he had made. Your father is a murderer.
JOHN is stunned.
CLONE
John…
JOHN
(gradually raising the voice level)
Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up.
CLONE
(shouting)
Aren’t they pitiful? They are killed by your father who is blind for fame. You are conceited of being a prosecutor and helping residents, and why do you turn your eyes from them? Is it because of your father’s fame?
JOHN
I just forgave my father, and you say betray my father? I can’t do it.
CLONE
(standing up slowly)
John.
JOHN
(stepping back)
NO.
CLONE
(stepping forward)
JOHN.
JOHN
No.
The sound of gunshot fills the observation platform, and CLONE falls down.
JOHN
(gasping and crying)
I cannot do it.
Suddenly, Leonard appears from JOHN’s back.
LEONARD
(gasping)
What’s going on?
JOHN
(crying but smiling)
It’s over LEONARD. Let’s stop the bomb and go back to home.
The scene turns to black
EXT-In Court-afternoon
JOHN is having a trial. PETER is sitting on, and LEONARD is next to JOHN. The judge gavels.
JUDGE
Since the jury unanimously found the accused not guilty, I acquit of a charge.
As judge gavels, the scene changes to black
EXT-Outside of court-afternoon
JOHN, PETER, LEONARD comes out from the court. JOHN stops walking and turns around, and he sees the tower where he has encountered CLONE.
PETER (VO)
(shouting)
JOHN, let’s go.
JOHN
(turning around and shouting)
Okay, wait.
He runs to LEONARD and PETER.
PETER
(As JOHN arrives)
Hey, what don’t we visit Jason? Get on my cars.
INT-In PETER’s Car-afternoon
JOHN (VO)
As Clone told me, we are the same. We have the same father and are the physically same. However, he is one of the poor who is honesty, but I am a prosecutor who turned my back to the poor.
The scene shows JOHN’s face through the car window and shows the sky.
