A small skinny bed-ridden Alistair walks into shot, he enters

the Controtech Factory.

INT. CONTROTECH FACTORY FLOOR INTERIOR ENTRANCE DAY

Alastair runs his security card through the card reader, the

reader flashes red & reads "ACCESS DENIED". Alastair runs his

card through the reader again, and again, and again with the

same result.

ALASTAIR

(Growls - getting agitated)

"The Giant" Andreas appears from behind the security door

clutching a letter in his hand. Andreas hands the letter to

Alastair. Alastair opens the letter, which reveals the words

"Your Fired". Alastair throws the letter on the floor & yells

at Andreas.

ALASTAIR

(Angered chatter)

Andreas picks up Alastair and throws him over his shoulder. A

bewildered Alastair kicks and screams like an adolescent

child.

on his face in the street outside of the factory.

Alastair reaches into his pocket to retrieve a lock pick; he

begins picking the lock to the exterior factory door. To his

surprise the door opens.

ALASTAIR

(Surprised)AH HAH!

Alastair puts the lock pick back into his pocket and proceeds

through the door.

Alastair is met by a massive fist, he is knocked from the door

to the street bruised and beaten.

ALASTAIR

(Groaning in pain)

Andreas walks through the factory door & retrieves Alastairs

lock pick, Andreas shuts the door behind him.

Alastair dusts himself off and looks up the Controtech

factory, he notices an open window. Alastair rubs his chin.

ALASTAIR

(In thought)

Alastair exits the shot & returns with a rappel hook, he

throws the rappel hook up at the window, it latches on.

Alastair begins pulling himself up the building, Alastair

looks down as the floor becomes further & further away. A

distracted Alastair does not notice that he is being pulled up

by Andreas.

ANDREAS

(Pulling grunts)

Alastair turns, face to face with "the Giant" Andreas who is

clutching a pair of sheers, he smiles at Alastair.

ANDREAS

(Grinning with pleasure)

Andreas cuts the rappel rope, Alastair falls to the floor.

An injured Alastair picks himself up from the floor and

staggers out of shot.

"3:00am"

Alastair returns to the Controtech factory dragging a massive

contraption masked in assorted rags.

ALASTAIR

(Pulling Grunts)

EXT. CONTROTECH FACTORY NORTH SIDE NIGHT

Alastair strategically places the contraption in front of the

north side of the factory. He rummages under the rags to

reveal a retractable viewfinder; he aims the reticle at the

highest window of the Controtech factory.

Achieving his intended target Alastair steps back rubbing his

hands and laughing.

ALASTAIR

(Evil Laugh)

Alastair removes the rags from the masked contraption to

reveal a life sized catapult.

Alastair jumps aboard the catapult and pulls on a wire

releasing the catapult's trigger. He is fired from the

catapult to the top floor of the Controtech factory.

ALASTAIR

(Flying)

WOOOOOOOOAAAAAHHHH!!!

windshield.

Alastair remains silent, stuck to the window as Andreas

enters.

ANDREAS

(Whistling - care free)

Andreas sits at the CEO's desk and lights a cigar before

sitting back.

ANDREAS

(Sigh of relaxation)

Andreas awakes the computer from sleep mode and types in the

username "Tyrant" to login. From this Alastair realises that

"the Giant" he has been dealing with is in fact the infamous

"Tyrant" all along.

Andreas turns & notices Alastair at the window. The two stare

at each other until Alastair willingly un-sticks himself from

the window & falls to the ground.

ALASTAIR

(Falling)

AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHH!

FADE TO BLACK
