UNKNOWN OFFICE – DAY

INSERT TITLE CARD: THURSDAY

Glass walls show off panoramic views of a beautiful mountain

range behind a small city. The mountain flaunts a sign, much

like the HOLLYWOOD one: “THE GOOD”

A finely varnished desk hosts two black men:

TYSON MARGATE, 40, tall, in very good shape. Wears a ‘KOYLE

TOWERS’ security uniform - sits across from:

UNKNOWN MAN, 60, scar on his cheek and an evil eye. Puffs on

a cigar. Distinctive STAR TATTOOS on both his hands.

Unknown Man’s NEPHEW, 40. Stands next to one other

HENCHMAN - Both black, both built for cage fighting with

distinctive star tattoos on their neck. Both guard the door.

The amount of smoke Unknown Man puffs from his cigar should

be setting off fire alarms, but he doesn’t seem to have any.

CONTINUED:

UNKNOWN MAN

This is the last of these seven

watches, Tyson. The other six have

been lost or destroyed. Your

recommendation comes on behalf of my

Nephew.

NEPHEW nods, smiles confidently.

UNKNOWN MAN

You made quite the name for yourself

in Iraq, with -

(to Nephew )

- how many confirmed kills?

NEPHEW

Over sixty, sir.

Unknown man smiles. Tyson’s head drops. Ashamed.

UNKNOWN MAN

He also tells me you won the bronze

medal in boxing at the Barcelona

Olympics at the age of only

seventeen?

Tyson looks up. Nods. Unknown man takes a puff.

UNKNOWN MAN

I appreciate your time today, Tyson,

I know how hard it can be finding a

rarity like it in a situation such as

yours, but it’s worth your while.

Nephew places a suitcase on the desk. Opens it for Tyson.

Two million cash.

Unknown man leans in. Taps the middle of his desk.

UNKNOWN MAN

Two million dollars, if you have the

watch on this desk by Sunday. Do you

accept, Tyson?

Tyson looks upon the money.

TYSON

I accept.

Nephew closes the suitcase. Takes stance back at the door.

UNKNOWN MAN

That’s good, Tyson. I’m glad.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

Unknown man leans back in his seat. Takes a puff.

UNKNOWN MAN

Now, I’m sure you’re wondering, how?

Well, you don’t get to where I am

without being appropriately

resourced, so in saying that, I

assure you, I will have the alarms

shut down on Saturday at eleven a.m.

That will give you enough time to get

in and out without any police

interruption, but you will need to do

the inside work yourself and being a

museum, with a high profile exhibit

featuring, there will be security and

I would bet my free speech, they will

be gunned. I'd suggest you scout the

area beforehand and learn the

surroundings.

Tyson nods.

Unknown stands. Puts his hand out.

UNKNOWN MAN

You best be on your way, Tyson. It’s

a long drive back to Millhaven.

Tyson stands. Shakes hands, then turns to exit.

UNKNOWN MAN

Oh, and one more thing.

Tyson turns back.

UNKNOWN MAN

Why did you give up boxing?

TYSON

My wife was not fond of me getting

punched in the face for a living.

Unknown Man laughs. Takes another puff and watches Tyson as

he exits.

Nephew winks at Tyson on his way out.

A mobile phone BUZZES on the desk. Unknown Man answers.

UNKNOWN MAN

(into phone )

Mr. Koyle.

MAN

(over phone, filtered )

It’s sorted.

Unknown Man hangs up, pulls a PINK ENVELOPE from his jacket

and hands it to Henchman. Written on the pink envelope:

#Project:Timepiece.

UNKNOWN MAN

(to Henchman )

Deliver this to Mr. Mexico,

personally.

Henchman nods. Takes the pink envelope.

UNDERGROUND PARKING LOT
DAY

The sound of Henchman’s FOOT STEPS bounce off the concrete

walls as he makes his way towards a --

BLACK E60 BMW

Pink envelope in hand, he goes for the door handle, but

stops when he see’s in the dark tint reflection:

JULIAN UYSTER, 40, tight blue jeans with a stylish jacket.

Good looking in a bad boy way - smiling at him.

JULIAN

Hello, Francis.

Henchman’s heart skips a beat.

TYSON'S CAR (PARKED)
NIGHT

On the driveway of a run down house. Tyson pulls up the hard

break.

An EVICTION notice in the center console. He sighs at the

sight of it. Thinks for a second. Taps his fingers. Pulls

out his phone.

TYSON

(into phone )

Mr. Mexico -
