HITMAN
I need you to hack into a security system.
NEXUS
Sure, you got the IP?
HITMAN
You'll need to be at the site specified to hack in. We'll need to find a local computer terminal that's hooked up to the security system.
NEXUS
'On site'?
HITMAN
Yes.
NEXUS
What, like in the building? So we're sneaking in-
HITMAN
Not exactly.
NEXUS
Then what exactly?
HITMAN
We're going to break in.
NEXUS
Fuck off.
HITMAN
Look in the top drawer.
Nexus frowns and opens the top draw of the desk. It is overflowing with twenty-dollar bills.
HITMAN
There's more coming.
NEXUS
Wow...
HITMAN
Get ready. We move tonight.
The Hitman slaps a chain of bullets into his M60. We FOCUS on his hands and
CUT TO:
EXT. THE ROOFTOPS- AFTERNOON
We watch Lobo's hands snapping his own chain of bullets into his M60. He is crouched with a plethora of weapons laying spread out in front of him.
CUT TO:
EXT. OUTSIDE THE HILTON- AFTERNOON/DUSK
We watch as the sun slowly slides out of view, bathing the hotel in orange. TOOL'S 'SCHISM' enters the scene.
EXT. THE ROOFTOPS- DUSK
Lobo stands at the edge of the roof, looking up at the slowly gathering clouds. A duffel bag is in his hands. We FOCUS on the bag while we
CUT TO:
INT. HILTON LOBBY- DUSK
We FOCUS on the Hitman's hand as he exits an elevator, his own duffel bag in his hand. Nexus trots behind him. They move out of the hotel, solemn in their individual resolve.
EXT. OUTSIDE THE HILTON- DUSK
The doorman nods his farewell to the Hitman and Nexus, who return the nod. They move out of view.
The camera CRANES UP to watch as they walk to their car.
FADE TO:
EXT. OUTSIDE THE AGENCY- NIGHT
The Hitman's car drives up and parks in a side street. Nexus gets out first. He arches back his neck, looking up at the enormous glass building.
NEXUS
This thing will have multi layered encryption codes, since it'll have restricted access to sections and other areas sealed off.
The Hitman gets out of the car, duffel bag in hand.
HITMAN
Is it feasible?
Nexus smiles.
