SCENE 041 - INTERIOR DINING HALL, CLUB DESMOND QUARTERMASTER - NIGHT
From the top of the rafters, HECATE leaps to the floor of the club and begins to run out, avoiding the panicked crowd. WILLIAM, looking on, begins to run after HECATE.
PETER
William! William, stay here!
AIMEE
Peter, follow him! Make sure he doesn't get hurt.
PETER
But what about you two?
ERIN
Just go and help William!
PETER nods and runs after them as they remain to assist to the wounded ERIKAN.
SCENE 042 - EXTERIOR PASSAGE WAY, ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT - NIGHT
As HECATE runs through the crowded district, four SENATORIAL GUARDS stand awaiting her arrival.
SENATORIAL GUARD
Halt, by order of the Headmaster, you are under arrest...
HECATE, pulling out a firearm, shoots the GUARDS in the stomachs and wastes no time in the area. She looks up and sees a staircase up the side of the building. Quickly she makes a move for it.
SCENE 043 - EXTERIOR PASSAGE WAY, ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT - NIGHT
Brushing through the panicked crowd, WILLIAM stops to observe the lying GUARDS on the street and looks up to the fleeing Bounty Hunter. He follows her up the stairs, which leads all the way to the top of the building.
SCENE 044 - EXTERIOR CLUB DESMOND QUARTERMASTER - NIGHT
DESMOND QUARTERMASTER stands outside, baffled and talking with one of the students as PETER hurriedly arrives.
QUARTERMASTER
Peter, what happened?
PETER
I don't know. Something attacked us.
QUARTERMASTER
Was anyone hurt?
PETER
Yes, Erikan Quickstriker and one of your waitresses.
QUARTERMASTER
Oh dear.
PETER
Desmond, I'll need your speeder.
QUARTERMASTER
What?
PETER
One of my friends went after the assassin. I'll need your speeder to catch up to him now!
QUARTERMASTER
Fine. It's off to the corner. Go, quickly!
PETER
Thanks.
SCENE 045 - EXTERIOR STAIRWAY, ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT - NIGHT
WILLIAM reaches the top of the stairway, leading to the roof of one of the great buildings. At the corner is HECATE, looking down the beyond below.
WILLIAM
You'll pay for what you've done. Turn around and show yourself!
HECATE
Why? If I turned, I'd have to kill you.
WILLIAM
You won't be killing anyone. You're coming with me.
HECATE turns around and faces him.
HECATE
If you want me, you'll have to catch me.
She falls back from the top and into the bottom below. WILLIAM goes to the edge and looks down in horror.
SCENE 046 - EXTERIOR TEE WING, ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT - NIGHT
As she falls, a great speeder makes its way to the center of her path. The hatch of the TEE WING opens and she falls into the cabin.
SCENE 047 - INTERIOR TEE WING, ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT - NIGHT
HECATE, straightening herself in her seat, looks up to WILLIAM and WAVES to him.
SCENE 048 - EXTERIOR ROOF, ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT - NIGHT

SCENE 049 - INTERIOR CABIN, TEE WING - NIGHT
HECATE looks up to find WILLIAM on top of the glass roof,
HECATE
So you want to follow along, do you? Perhaps I'll have to give you a crash course to teach you a lesson.
SCENE 050 - EXTERIOR NIGHTTIME TRAFFIC - NIGHT
Intensively, the TEE WING climbs into the major traffic lanes of the nighttime hours. At tremendous velocity, the speeder bangs into other vehicles in the path.
WILLIAM holds on tightly, almost being knocked off by the sudden jolts from the TEE WING.
SCENE 051 - EXTERIOR NIGHTTIME TRAFFIC - NIGHT
PETER, at the helm of a small SILVER SPEEDER, rides high into the air. Continuously, he looks over the sides and all around.
PETER
(to himself) William, where are you? I hope you're not doing anything stupid.
A loud rumble dashes by with WILLIAM aboard the TEE WING.
PETER
I spoke too soon.
SCENE 052 - EXTERIOR NIGHTTIME TRAFFIC - NIGHT
Speeding up, the silver speeder catches up to the TEE WING and looks up WILLIAM.
PETER
William! William!
WILLIAM looks over to him. PETER, reaching from the side, pulls out a latch and pulls the speeder over to the TEE WING. Quickly connecting the speeder, PETER motions to WILLIAM.
PETER
Jump!
SCENE 053 - INTERIOR CABIN, TEE WING - NIGHT
HECATE looks out from the window and watches PETER in the silver speeder aside her.
SCENE 054 - EXTERIOR NIGHTTIME TRAFFIC - NIGHT
The TEE WING begins to jerk around, trying to break away from the line connecting the two crafts. WILLIAM, trying to jump across, falls back and is almost knocked off.
PETER looked down and reached out his hand to help WILLIAM.
SCENE 055 - EXTERIOR NIGHTTIME TRAFFIC - NIGHT
As the two speeders race by through traffic, speeders and air buses surrounding them begin to cruise out of the way. Through oncoming traffic, a huge cruiser quickly speeds out of the way and crashes into a great statue which crumbles from atop the monument and down to the floor of the city.
SCENE 056 - EXTERIOR NIGHTTIME TRAFFIC - NIGHT
Losing grasp of the side of the TEE WING, WILLIAM catches hold of PETER'S HAND and climbs up into the speeder.
PETER
What happened? I thought you were going to catch him and bring him into custody?
WILLIAM
Well, I tried to do that. But 'she' wouldn't come along as we would have wanted her to.
PETER
We have to stop her before she hurts anyone else.
SCENE 057 - EXTERIOR NIGHTTIME TRAFFIC - NIGHT
Intending to lose them, the TEE WING falls out of traffic and lowers to the floor of Acameda.
SCENE 058 - EXTERIOR ACAMEDA STREETS - NIGHT
As the TEE WING flies down to below the city, the silver speeder follows behind. Feet from the floor, people dive out of the way of the TEE WING.
SCENE 059 - EXTERIOR ACAMEDA STREETS - NIGHT
WILLIAM stands up from his seat and climbs on the exterior.
PETER
What are you doing?
WILLIAM
I'm going to jump back over and distract her. Speed up a little bit, will you?
PETER
(sighing) You're going to find yourself killed one of these days, William, and it will be entirely your fault.
WILLIAM slowly crawled to the front of the speeder and makes ready for the jump. Quickly, he jumps across and back on top of the TEE WING, smashing the glass roof.
SCENE 060 - INTERIOR CABIN, TEE WING - NIGHT
Glass falling down on top of her, HECATE pulls out her handgun and begins to fire up at WILLIAM. With all his might, WILLIAM kicks the gun out of her hands and jumps down into the cabin and begins to wrestle with her.
SCENE 061 - EXTERIOR ACAMEDA STREETS - NIGHT
With civilians aside, the two speeders race across the street in drag race fashion. From the silver speeder, PETER races his head a bit and looks forward to see a huge dock of water ahead of them.
PETER
Oh, no!
SCENE 062 - INTERIOR CABIN, TEE WING - NIGHT
As they wrestle, WILLIAM pushes HECATE to the floor which is responded with a head butt. Stunned, he backs off and HECATE rebounds, pulling from her buckle a black mechanical HANDLE. Quickly, before she makes the offensive, WILLIAM kicks it out of her hand and it flies out of the TEE wing.
WILLIAM
You're coming with me... (Pause)... dead or alive.
HECATE
Then we choose death.
SCENE 063 - EXTERIOR ACAMEDA HARBOR - NIGHT
The TEE WING crashes instantly into the old Acameda Harbor, causing a great wave into the deep water. Slowly the silver speeder stops on the ground and PETER jumps out.
SCENE 064 - EXTERIOR ACAMEDA HARBOR - NIGHT
PETER walks down onto the dock, watching the TEE WING slowly sink into the black water. Tears begin to swell in his eyes.
PETER
William, why did you have to be so brave?
As he turns around, a huge splash in the water behind him. A figure walks up the beach and sits down.
WILLIAM
I don't ever want to do this again.
PETER
William! I can't believe it. I thought you had died in the crash!
WILLIAM
So had I.
PETER
And the assassin?
WILLIAM
If she knows what's good for her, she's on her way to Hell.
PETER
Are you all right?
WILLIAM
Yeah, I'm just tired.
PETER
Lets get back to the club.
SCENE 065 - EXTERIOR ACAMEDA HARBOR - NIGHT
As they walk back to the speeder, WILLIAM notices the mechanical handle laying on the ground. After a moment, he picks it up.
WILLIAM
What's this?
After inspecting it for a moment, he presses a button which ignites a dark blue beam from end of the handle.
From the top of the rafters, HECATE leaps to the floor of the club and begins to run out, avoiding the panicked crowd. WILLIAM, looking on, begins to run after HECATE.
PETER
