PIER - SAN PEDRO - NIGHT

A large boat, sleek and yacht-like, but without finesse. This is a boat for business - heavy and fast. It is moored to the pier. A large crane hoists a pallet of fuel drums from the dock. It swings slowly over the boat. A man on the dock yells in Spanish to the crane operator.

Behind an old and weathered boat in dry-dock, Jack and Ianto watch the boat from the shadows.

"What are they speaking?" Ianto whispers.

"Russian, I think. I don't know." Jack considers and shrugs.

"Hungarian?" Ianto wonders as he cans his head and moves slightly to listen. "Alien? Is it... Huntral?"

Jack reaches out and pokes his arm "Knock it off. Can't they be human for a change?"

Suzie is climbing up the side of the boathouse. She wants to see a large boat. A very large boat.

Toshiko manoeuvres through a mesh of twisted steel, arriving at a vantage point near the stern of the large boat.

A black van pulls up and parks near the crane. Four men in suits get out. One remains with the van and the other three walk toward the boat.

On the boat, five men come up from below deck. They are tense and cautious around the men in suits. Someone speaks in Spanish and someone else in Russian. It takes a moment before anyone speaks the same tongue. They settle on French for both negotiators.

Toshiko sits in the van. She handles a large shoulder bag stuffed with plastique. She tests a timer on top. She picks up a walkie-talkie. "Are we ready, kids?"

Suzie is positioning herself on the roof of the boathouse. She stops and grabs her radio. "If I didn't have to stop and answer you, I would be."

Jack hisses into the radio "Everyone shut up. I'm ready. Suzie, you better be set up in ten seconds."

"I'm there."

Jack turns to Ianto "I want you to stay here. Understand?"

"But I'm supposed to …"

"If we don't make it out, I want you to take the money and go."

Ianto looks confused "Jack, I can't just …"

"I want you to find Rose. Both of you find some place safe. Tell her what happened - Everything. She knows people. She'll know what to do. If we can't get Kobayashi my way, she'll get him her way." Jack is calm even as Ianto starts to flap.

"What if I …"

"Just do what I tell you." Jack turns and takes a few steps. He stops and looks back, his face marked with guilt and agony. "Tell her I... Tell her I tried."

Jack leaves before Ianto can respond. He walks down a ramp toward the boat. He is no more than a few yards out of the shadows before the first man sees him.

One of the men in suits starts to yell to the others. Men pull out guns and try to look as cool as they can.

Jack walks right into the face of all of these men, undaunted. His hands are in his pockets.

Above him, in the darkness, Suzie pokes her head out and spies Jack. She pulls her head back and sticks out the barrel of the rifle.

Jack comes to a stop about twenty feet from fifteen men all together.

Suzie stares through the scope of her rifle at the scene. The cross-hairs breeze past Jack and find a target. A man in a suit.

"Pow." She whispers as she pretends to shoot.

She moves to another and then another, picking up speed and mock-shooting the men. She is steady and quick. It is clear she could take all fifteen in a few seconds.

"Pow-pow-pow-pow-pow-pow. Oswald was a fag."

The men shout questions at Jack in a number of languages. A few men standing on the dock near the stern of the large boat, move towards the commotion. Toshiko bails out and runs quickly and quietly through the shadows, bringing the bomb with her.

Ianto remains in the darkness, looking frightened.

Suzie still wanders with her scope. "Old McDonald had a farm, ee-aye, ee- aye, oh. And on this farm he shot some guys. Ba-da-bip, ba-da-bing, bang-boom."

Finally two men walk right towards Jack. The rest train guns on him. They reach for his arms, pointing their guns right at him.

At the far end of the dock, Toshiko throws her bomb onto the stern of the large boat.

IT EXPLODES

The men surrounding Jack are distracted. Jack pulls a pistol out of each pocket and shoots the two men closest to him.

Suzie roars with glee "ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING."

She fires as fast as she can.

The men from the boat and the men in suits try to peg Jack, but Suzie's sniping has them running.

The crane operator opens the door to bails out, leaving the crane in motion.

Suzie runs across the roof of the boathouse and jumps down to the pier. She arrives at a thick mooring cable and climbs across to the boat.

Jack climbs up onto a small lifeboat hanging from the side of the larger boat. From this he climbs aboard the large boat.

Toshiko is firing in all directions. SUDDENLY, she realizes no one is left on the dock.

Pause.

FINALLY, she turns and runs back for the van parked on the pier above. She finds a ramp leading from the dock to the pier. At the van, she finds the one man who has stayed behind to protect it.

The man hears Toshiko coming and raises his gun. Toshiko runs straight at him, screaming frantically in Spanish "GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE. EVERYONE IS DEAD."

BOOM

She shoots the man point blank in the face and runs over his body as it falls. She gets to the back door of the van and yanks it open.

The inside is stacked with large wooden crates.

Toshiko, suddenly oblivious to the sound of gunfire, opens one of the crates and looks inside.

IT IS FILLED WITH MONEY.

Cash and negotiable bonds of all kinds. She smiles.

BOOM

BLOOD sprays all over the money. Toshiko looks at it, puzzled.

Toshiko raises a blood-soaked hand from her belly. She turns and stares in horror.

BOOM

Another shot takes off the top of her head.

Suzie runs like a wild woman across the deck, heading for the hatch. She shoots in all directions as though she has eyes in the back of her head. She sees Jack climbing onto the deck of the boat.

Ianto is wrestling with what to do. He finally makes a break for the other side of the boathouse.

The crane continues to swing. A single bullet hits one of the barrels on the suspended pellet. Gasoline pours out through the bullet-hole.

Jack finds the hatch and goes below, shooting a man on his way up the stairs. Suzie jumps on board and runs down behind him.

Ianto arrives at the top of the ramp leading from the dock to the pier.

He ducks down behind a guardrail beside the ramp. He turns and sees Toshiko's dead body next to the van. He looks around frantically, frozen in terror. It is quiet, except for the sounds of screaming, far off in the bowels of the boat and the hum of the crane.

Andy interrupts with a question "Why didn't you run?"

"I froze up. I thought about Owen and how he looked when we buried him, then I thought about Jack. It looked like he might pull it off. " Ianto sighs.

A KNOCK ON THE DOOR.

Rabin steps in and motions for Andy to come outside.

Rabin and Jack Cooper are in the hall. Rabin hands Andy a thick manila folder. Andy thumbs through it.

Cooper is standing out there with a folder "A boy came across a body on the beach this morning. Thrown clear when the boat burned. Shot once in the head. Two guys from the F.B.I. just identified him."

"And?"

"His name was Arturo Marquez. A petty smuggler out of Argentina. He was arrested in New York last year for trafficking. He escaped to California and got picked up in Long Beach. They were setting up his extradition when he escaped again. Get this - Rose Tyler was called in to advise the proceedings."

Andy's eyes widen "Kobayashi."

Cooper smiles and hisses "I called New York County and they faxed me a copy of Marquez's testimony. He was a rat."

Andy pulls out page after page from the file. "A big fucking rat."

"Arturo was strongly opposed to going back to prison. So much so that he informed on close to fifty guys. Guess who he names for a finale?"

Andy finds one sheet and notices a paragraph is highlighted. "Keyser Soze"

"There's more." Cooper says with glee, "Are ya ready for this?"
