The summer of 2032
On August 2, 2032. At Lenina Huxley's domicile. There is Lenina Huxley on her couch. She has her room decorated with 20th century settings. Lenina Huxley puts in a laser disc. She puts on a video of John Spartan. On the video there is John Spartan fighting with the crips. He blows up the gang with their leader. Lenina Huxley is done playing the video with John Spartan in it. Lenina Huxley leaves her apartment.
Later on in the day at the San Angeles police station. There is Chief Earle present. Also there is James Macmillan. Alfredo Garcia is also present. Earle: "I am expecting Lt. Huxley soon. You Alfredo Garcia will be partnered with Lenina Huxley. We have people who break curfews and party." Lenina Huxley shows up next as she goes through the door being scanned by Erwin the dispatcher. Earle: "Lt. Huxley. Meet your new partner Alfredo Garcia. Alfredo Garcia this is Lt. Lenina Huxley. We are having scrap attacks. Raymond Cocteau is working on purging the last remaining criminal elements from the city."
Flash back to 1996 in Los Angeles. On a department of corrections bus. There is Simon Phoenix with his criminal friends there. There is Gunther, Howie, Jed, Beppo, Kodo, Adam, Danzig, Elvin, Francis and a few more. There is a guard standing on the prison bus. There's another guard driving the bus. DOC Guard: "You are all the first criminals to ever be frozen in cryogenic prison. We are there at your new home."
Inside the cryo-prison. There is William Smithers the assistant warden present. There are cryo-prison workers there too who are guards. The prison guards are escorting in Simon Phoenix and his criminal friends. Phoenix: "We'll all be free one day and rule Los Angeles and other cities around here." There is William Smithers carrying a clip board. Warden Smithers: "Simon Phoenix. You and your criminal friends here are facing charges of mass murder. You are facing charges of many different felonies. It is with some regret that I William Smithers acting as assistant warden carry out your sentences." Those criminals all there have on their cryo-prison uniforms. They are having their clothes removed. Warden Hoffman shows up. He's a tough former prison guard. Warden Hoffman: "I was a guard at San Quentin and I am now the warden here. You Simon Phoenix have been sentenced to life in the cryo-prison and won't be eligible for release until there's a cure for your mental illness. So you are sentenced to eternity as are many of you criminals who worked for warlord Henry Yates and went to war." Adam as he has his shirt removed strikes the guards. Cryo-prison guard 1: "Adam is loose." Phoenix: "We'll all be free and we will hide out in Mexico." Warden Hoffman runs over to Adam. Adam throws a punch onto Warden Hoffman. Simon Phoenix and other criminal friends of his start fighting the guards. Warden Smithers: "We have prison break attempts." The guards pull out batons. A guard with the end of his gun clobbers Simon Phoenix. Warden Hoffman and Adam throw punches onto each other. Warden Hoffman throws Adam into his cryo puck. Monitors are placed on all of the criminals as they are restrained. Warden Hoffman: "We got them all. This is better for you criminal. Other wise you men would've been given the death penalty. After your sentence you will live free." The assistant warden carries out the sentence.
Back to 2032. In the Wasteland there is Edgar Friendly with his band of scraps at dawn. There are the new freedom fighters named Ryan and Jason. There is also Jackie and Carl. There are many men and women. They are going over their plan to dispose of Raymond Cocteau. Friendly: "We get to get rid of Raymond Cocteau sooner or later. The time has come to reveal myself to Raymond Cocteau and end his oppression of the city. Freedom for soda or French Fries. Be free to get tattoos if you want them." Ryan: "I want to be free to have football or even play football." Jason: "I want the freedom for martial arts and training martial arts.." Friendly: "Allot of us want the freedom to get our tongues and bellybuttons pierced. I plan to take Cocteau at gun point and run him out of San Angeles. Then I take over and we are free. Let's tap into computer systems and disrupt communications." They all leave the place.
On the streets of San Angeles near the Cocteau Center. There is the rebellion. They spray paint on the Cocteau building. They write 'end the oppression of Cocteau'. Then Edgar Friendly spells his initials 'EF'. The anti graffiti program erases the writings by the scraps. The scraps have their guns drawn. The scraps are disrupting communications.
At the Cocteau Center in Raymond Cocteau's office later on. There is Raymond Cocteau at his desk. He gets a report on the scraps. There is Associate Bob there too.

I want him eliminated before he brings back the violence into the peaceful city of San Angeles." Raymond Cocteau goes over to the cryo-prison list. Raymond Cocteau discovers Simon Phoenix and types in his programming.
Later on in the morning. There is Edgar Friendly and his band of rebels. Also present is the African American scrap named Carl. The scraps put out their spray paining machines. Edgar Friendly goes into his binoculars. On the streets there's a Taco Bell food van. The scraps spray paint 'life is hell' on the Ethical Plaza and then Edgar Friendly's initials. The anti graffiti program erases the writings on the wall. The spray paint explodes. People watch. Friendly: "That's it. Food. Glorious food. There will be another one in 12 hours. These -holes are nothing if not predictable. God I love to hate this place." Wasteland Scrap (Carl): "There's not enough of us Friendly." Friendly: "That doesn't matter anymore. Does it Carl? People are hungry. We've got nothing left to lose." The scraps walk the Wasteland.
Over those minutes or hours Simon Phoenix escapes from cryo-prison and kills Warden William Smithers and 2 prison guards along with Dr. Mostow. Simon Phoenix escapes. He is confronted by 6 San Angeles cops. They are all either killed or incapacitated. Chief Earle is told by Raymond Cocteau to do everything in their power to capture Simon Phoenix.

Somewhere else in the Wasteland. There's a band of scraps. Edgar Friendly comes over with the rest of the scraps. Friendly: "There we didn't get to Cocteau. Sooner or later we'll get rid of him. Than we'll bring down the cryo-prison. We'll all live free."
At night time at the San Angeles police station. There is Derek Hammer with Dana Crystal Harris-Burke. There are police units present too. Dana Crystal: "I am the former police chief.

Somewhere else in San Angeles at night time. There is Simon Phoenix somewhere. Simon Phoenix meets up with a scrap traitor. His name is Mac a hardened underground resident. With him were Wayne Henderson, Buster and Freddy. Phoenix: "Who are you?" Mac: "I am your offspring. I was born in 1996. I want to join with you. Those are my friends Wayne, Buster and Freddy." Phoenix: "I want to release everyone frozen in cryo-prison. I want to rebuild my criminal empire. Most of them are put there by John Spartan himself. I will start out with 6. All 6 of those part of John Spartan's arrest record." Mac: "Edgar Friendly is running for mayor to succeed Raymond Cocteau. I want to kill him as do my friends here and Wayne Henderson was originally from New Jersey." Phoenix: "You'll be the first recruited into my band along with those 3 men here." Mac: "There's lot's of hot women in the bar down there. You could with your new criminal gang hide out there. I was an unwanted child to the woman that you attacked. I found that out in my birth records." Simon Phoenix heads off to Raymond Cocteau's office.
At Raymond Cocteau's office. It's dark in Raymond Cocteau's office. Simon Phoenix comes in through a secret passage. He goes over to the programmer. He changes the passwords from lights to illuminate and to turn off the lights deluminate. Phoenix: "Illuminate." The light turns on. Phoenix: "Deluminate." The lights turn off. Simon Phoenix gets onto a desk. Simon Phoenix is sitting there with his feet on top of the desk. Raymond Cocteau comes in with Associate Bob. Simon Phoenix is moving his fingers as the 2 men come in. Cocteau: "Lights." Phoenix: "No. I've changed that." Associate Bob looks at Simon Phoenix. Phoenix: "Illuminate." The lights turn on. Phoenix: "Deluminate." Simon Phoenix laughs. Phoenix: "Isn't that nicer? Go ahead. You try it." Cocteau: "Illuminate." Raymond Cocteau walks over to Simon Phoenix. Phoenix claps. Phoenix: "Raymond, Raymond, we've got to talk." Cocteau: "How did you get in?" Phoenix: "Wish I knew. I got pass codes. Routes to secret underground kingdoms. Complete access to the industrial-grid interface. I don't even know what that - means. But I've been meaning to ask you about it, because I like. I like it allot." The morality box goes off buzzing. Cocteau: "Your skills were given to you for a reason. Not for you personal amusement. Your job is to kill Mr. Edgar Friendly and stop a revolution before it precipitates. That is why you were rehabilitated." Simon Phoenix takes his feet off of the desk. Phoenix: "All right. I'm going to do your dastardly deed for you. But it's going to be more difficult than you thought. And I'm going to need some help. I'll need about five or six more 'special' men. And I just so happened to have a list. You see I wouldn't want you to defrost any of those mad dog killer types and you know what I mean. And none of those are the mother-ers from New York. They're too up tight." The morality box buzzes again. Simon Phoenix gives his list of cryo-cons to be thawed out over to Dr. Cocteau. Cocteau: "So you're going to be the only mad dog killer type around here?" Phoenix: "Exactamondo." Raymond Cocteau laughs. Cocteau: "Fine." Cocteau walks away from the desk. Cocteau: "Take care of it. Just get it over with. You're beginning to be more trouble than you're worth." Phoenix: "Oh, Raymond, don't say that." Simon Phoenix gets up and goes over to Raymond Cocteau. Phoenix: "And what do I get out of all this?" Cocteau: "What do you want?" Simon Phoenix moves his hands up. Phoenix: "Malibu. Santa Monica. -, how about all the costal cities?" Phoenix and Cocteau laugh. Cocteau: "I'll bear it in mind." Phoenix: "I'll send you a memo." Cocteau: "Just do your job." Simon Phoenix walks closer to Raymond Cocteau. Simon Phoenix is pointing his finger to Raymond Cocteau. Phoenix and Cocteau are standing in front of the fire place. Phoenix: "What is John Spartan doing here? Ha? Did you invite him to this little party of our's?" Cocteau: "Look, you finish your business and I'll stuff him back in the freezer. Think of him as a guarantee." Phoenix: "A guarantee? You don't have much of a guarantee. I'll take care of Spartan once and I'll take care of him again. Now we need those men defrosted." Simon Phoenix leaves the Cocteau Center. Raymond Cocteau gets to a desk to type in the thawing instructions.
Later on at the cryo-prison. There are 6 cryocons named Adam, Beppo, Danzig, Elvin, Francis and Kodo. There are 6 tough men. There are med techs injecting something into them. Simon Phoenix shows up.

At the Cocteau Center. There is Raymond Cocteau with Associate Bob in his office. Simon Phoenix shows up with 7 convicted killers. Phoenix: "Raymond Cocteau. Those are my 7friends. We'll go down into the Wasteland. We'll sleep down there." Cocteau: "Good. I have you 6 thawed out and rehabilitated. You have some reprogramming. I need you 7 with Simon Phoenix to kill Edgar Friendly. He's started a revolution. He must be stopped. He leads a band of thugs and hooligans. I am having all of you convicted criminals reformed." Kodo: "I was an assassin to the yakuza. I became the new leader when the cops bribed by the mob killed my boss. I like to kill up close and personal. All those cops bribed by our Italian Mafia rivals are killed along with all of our Italian rivals." Francis: "I was charged with kidnapping and murder. John Spartan put me in the cryo-prison." Cocteau: "John Spartan was frozen in the cryo-prison for manslaughter. I am wanting him back there." Beppo: "My goons and I killed 2 cops taking bribes from the mob." Cocteau: "I eliminated organized crime here. There is no more police corruption. John Spartan is back out here."
At the San Angeles police station at night time. There is Derek Hammer in his office. Dana Crystal Harris-Burke shows up. Dana Crystal: "Deputy Chief Hammer. Simon Phoenix has thawed out 7 cryocons. They are known as Adam, Elvin, Francis, Danzig, Beppo and Kodo. Kodo became the yakuza boss shortly before I became a cop after 2 corrupt cops killed Kodo's boss. Most of the 7 of them were arrested by John Spartan. When John Spartan arrested Reggie I arrested Adam who is one of those 6 thawed out by Simon Phoenix and Captain Healy arrested a former pimp named Howie." Hammer: "What's the yakuza?" Dana Crystal: "The yakuza was known as the Japanese Mafia. There was also the Italian Mafia. There was also the Russian Mafia and Irish Mafia. I fought Russian mobsters years ago. Lenina Huxley was into violence from my rookie days. I lost my fighting abilities and now I got them back as John Spartan is after Simon Phoenix." Hammer: "Chief Earle wouldn't want John Spartan to know that 6 criminals have just been released from the cryo-prison. John Spartan has destroyed the city years ago. I have an investigation put out." Dana Crystal leaves Derek Hammer's office.
At the Wasteland. There is Mac with Wayne Henderson along with Buster and Freddy. Simon Phoenix and the 7 cryocons show up. Phoenix: "I started out with 7. Once I take over we'll thaw out the rest."

They go to somewhere in the Wasteland.
