HEROES: THE EYES OF DEATH
This story is in script form.
The story begins with a blindfolded man being escorted to a cell room by Linderman. The man being escorted is named Mitchell. He's a tall bald man and a large dragon tattoo on the back of his head. Mitchell's hands and feet are tied together. They're in the Company building. Mitchell is put in the cell room next to Adam Monroe. Mitchell As Linderman passes Adam's cell, the two share a cold yet brief stare. Mitchell's blindfold is still on and so is his straightjacket. But he is still able to talk.
Adam: What's your name?
Mitchell: I don't trust you.
Adam: Neither do I. But sometimes a man's name is more trustworthy than the man himself.
Mitchell: The name's Mitchell. So what's your name?
Adam: Adam. Adam Monroe.
Mitchell: So Adam, why are you here?
Adam: Because I can save people.
Mitchell: Save people? I'm here because I can kill people. It seems unfair to be locked up for saving people.
Adam: That's exactly what I was thinking.
Mitchell chuckles.
Mitchell: So Adam, was there ever an Eve in your life?
Adam: Over the centuries, I've been with many women.
Mitchell: Ah, so you're immortal.
Adam: I guess you can say that.
Mitchell: Do you look old?
Adam: Appearances can be deceiving.
Mitchell: I hear ya. I'm a large brute, but yet I can very intelligent.
Adam: I don't doubt that. You sound like it.
Mitchell: Deception isn't only found in how you look, but how you sound as well. You sound young, but for all I know you could look your age.
Adam begins to laugh.
Adam' Listen, I have something very important to tell you. Pretty soon you will be given pills that will take away your power. I urge you not to take them. They say it helps you, but it only turns you into a vegetable. Trust me on this one. By the way, ask him if you can keep the cup.
Mitchell: Ask him what? The glass cup?
Adam: You bet. You seem like the kind of guy who doesn't deserve to be in here. If you want to escape, then don't take the pills. Use whatever power you may have and get out of here.
Mitchell: What do you want from me?
Adam: I want you to take me with you.
Mitchell: Fair enough.
Adam: Quiet.
Linderman walks down the hall and goes into Mitchell's cell with the "Haitian pills".
Linderman: Alright Mitchell. What I'm holding in my hand are pills that can take away your powers. At first they only work temporarily, but soon enough your power will be gone forever.
Mitchell: Forever?
Linderman: Oh yes. Definitely.
Linderman hands them to Mitchell. He also hands him a small glass of water. Mitchell puts the pills in his mouth, then he drinks the water, and finally, he swallows. Linderman takes the container and cup.
Mitchell: Wait! Mr. Linderman, can I keep the glass cup?
Linderman: What?
Mitchell: I just want to keep it. I can't use it and you know my powers don't involve glass manipulation or anything. Pretty please with sugar on top?
Linderman gives a suspicious look, but decides to give it to him. He sets the glass on the table next to the bed.
After Linderman passes down the hall, Mitchell spits the pills out. They were under his tongue the whole time.
Adam: Did you take the pills?
Mitchell: No.
Adam: Good. Ready to escape?
Mitchell: Yeah.
Adam: Excellent. Tonight, a guard will monitor the halls to make sure everyone is sleeping.
Mitchell: Like a prison.
Adam: Exactly like a prison! When he comes, I'll distract him and you use your power.
Mitchell: My power?
Adam: Yeah. You want that blindfold off don't you?
Mitchell pauses at this.
Mitchell: How do you know I'm wearing a blindfold.
Adam: Trust me, I know. Do you trust me?
Mitchell: Yeah.
Later that night, a guard begins to walk down the halls.
Adam: Hello, you there!
Guard: What do you want now, Adam?
Adam: I need a glass a water, please.
Guard: A glass of water? What do you think this is? A hotel?
Mitchell: I have a glass!
Guard: Who are you? Go back to sleep!
Mitchell: Please sir, I just need to give it to him.
Guard: Not a chance! Do you know who this is? Do you know who I am?
Mitchell: No. But maybe if I give you the glass and you give it to him, then everything will be alright.
Guard: I don't trust you.
Mitchell: I'm tied up! I can't see anything! What can I possibly do?
The guard pauses and thinks for a second.
Guard: Fine! I'll let you give me the glass so I can get it filled up with water. Just this once, you hear?
Mitchell: Crystal clear.
The guard opens the cell door and walks over to the table. Mitchell stands up and pretends to trip and knock over the glass. The cup breaks.
Mitchell: Oops.
Guard: What are you doing?
Mitchell grabs a shard of glass with his feet, swings over to the guard, and stabs him in the chest. The guard falls over seemingly dead. Mitchell cuts the rope off his ankles and then cuts the rope off his wrists. He's free. Mitchell proceeds to exit the cell when another guard that looks exactly like the first guard appears.
Guard: You're not going anywhere!
The guard splits into two guards. As if he's cloning himself. Think of it like Multiple Man from X-Men. The two guards then multiply into eight. They pull out their night sticks and proceed to attack. Mitchell fends them off as best as he can.
Adam: Hurry up, get me out.
Mitchell tries to steal one of the guard's keys but fails and runs down the halls without Adam.
Adam: The bloody traitor!
Mitchell dashes down the halls and kicks open an office room. Mitchell runs through the room and jumps out the window. Alarms begin to blaze and the now twenty guards run toward the window. They stop and see Mitchell hanging from a second floor window ledge. He decides to drop and begins to run away.
Linderman rushes into the office room.
Linderman: What happened?
Guard: He escaped sir.
Linderman: I'm quite aware that he escaped. Get Thompson in here.
About a minute later, Thompson gets to the office.
Linderman: I want you to get your best agents to find him right now.
Thompson: Certainly, sir. I'll get on it right away.
Linderman: Good.
Linderman and the guards leave. They go down the halls until they reach Adam's cell.
Linderman: Adam, did you have something to do with this?
Adam: Yes. And I'm very angry at that man for leaving me here.
Linderman grins.
Linderman: Ah, I see. This was another one of your escape plans.
Adam: You bet.
Linderman: Well, Mitchell is being taken care of and you will have to live with your failures. Forever.
Linderman looks at the guards.
Linderman: Get back to work.
Guard: Sorry, sir.
Meanwhile, Thompson is in his office contacting someone.
Thompson: I don't care, I want Bennet and his partner in here now!
A little while later, Noah Bennet and his partner Claude Rains arrive in Thompson's office. It's sometime in 1991, when they were still partners.
Noah: What's the situation?
Thompson: A man named Mitchell Dawson has escaped. I need you and your partner to go find him.
Noah: Dead or alive?
Thompson: Alive.
Immediately, Noah and Claude begin tracking him.
Mitchell is in a large, empty warehouse, hiding.
Noah: Did you check with Harris?
Claude: Yes I did.
Noah: Well where did he say the target's at?
Claude: He said that the target should be in the abandoned warehouse down the road.
Noah: Then he hasn't gone far.
The two of them begin running down until they reach the warehouse. Mitchell is still in the warehouse. He decides to take off his blindfold, just in case.
Noah opens the door and enters the warehouse. Claude is already invisible.
Claude: (whispering) You go look over there, and I'll look over in that area. If you find him, shoot him.
Noah: (whispering) But we're not supposed to kill him.
Claude: (whispering) Who said anything about killing him?
The two of them begin looking around. Mitchell is hiding in a corner area. After a long while, Noah finally sees Mitchell.
Noah: Well look at that! Hey Claude, I found him!
Claude hears this and begins to run toward Noah's area.
Mitchell looks up, frightened. Noah pulls out his gun.
Noah: What the...?
Noah looks into Mitchell's black eyes and begins to turn dry and pale. His eyes turn black as well. He's starting to fall over dead. Then, a gunshot is heard and a bullet enters Mitchell's neck. The invisible Claude then turns visible again and runs toward Noah. Mitchell dies and Noah turns back to normal.
Claude: What happened?
Noah: I don't know. I think he was killing me.
Claude: Interesting. Well we better tell Thompson that he's dead.
Noah: I hope we still have a job tomorrow.
Claude: Don't worry, we're the best in town. If Thompson fires us then he'll get fired too.
Noah: (chuckling) Yeah, that's right.
Claude: Besides, it beats being a mailman.
The two of them laugh as they leave the warehouse.
