Transcript

JOE THE BARTENDER: Here you go. I thought you said you leave your troubles outside.

LEV ARRIS: Sometimes they just follow you in.

JOE THE BARTENDER: Looking for something special, huh?

LEV ARRIS: Yeah.

JOE THE BARTENDER: But first you want a drink. A big one.

LEV ARRIS: Right again.

JOE THE BARTENDER: Enjoy.

LEV ARRIS: Listen, I need somebody.

JOE THE BARTENDER: It's written all over your face, lad.

LEV ARRIS: Somebody who knows how to crack a password.

JOE THE BARTENDER: Is that all? Grab yourself a seat. I'll bend a few appropriate ears.

DIMITRI AVIGNONI: I'm known as Dimitri. I believe you're being called Arris.

LEV ARRIS: I beleive so.

DIMITRI AVIGNONI: Joe says you've got some nature of a problem. Ah-hah. Protected. Spiteful.

LEV ARRIS: Spiteful? How?

DIMITRI AVIGNONI: Well, the algorithm for breaking this little baby is going to be a technical headache on a major scale. We are talking problem.

SC.230 INT. SINNERS INN - AS BEFORE

Arris walks in. When he clicks on JOE THE BARTENDER, the
following conversation ensues:

Joe comes over to him.

JOE

Thought you said you leave your

troubles outside?

ARRIS

Sometimes they just follow you in.

JOE

You're looking for something special

right?

ARRIS

Yeah.

JOE

But first you want a drink, a big one.

ARRIS

Right again.

SC.232 ANOTHER ANGLE

Joe vanishes and momentarily reappears, bringing Arris a
drink. Arris takes a long drink of it, leans over the bar.

ARRIS

Listen, Joe....I need somebody....

JOE

Written all over your face, Lev.

ARRIS

Somebody who knows how to crack

a password.

JOE

Is that all? You go grab a seat

while I bend a few appropriate

ears.

SC.233 INT. SINNER'S INN - BAR-WIDE

Arris sits down in an alcove, waits a few moments....

SC.234 ALCOVE

As Arris glances out into the bar. A nearby bright light is
suddenly eclipsed as a tall shadowy form moves slowly toward
him. A hint of menace. This is DIMITRI AVIGNONI.

SC.235 CLOSER - THE ALCOVE

As Dimitri slips into the seat opposite. He looks at Arris,
an evaluating kind of expression.

DIMITRI

I am known as Dimitri. I believe

you are being called Arris.

ARRIS

I believe so.

DIMITRI

Joe says you've got some nature

of a problem.

SC.236 DIFFERENT ANGLE

Arris produces the logic solid in its little case, shows it
to Dimitri. Dimitri takes it, turns it over in his hands.

DIMITRI (CONT'D)

Hmm. Protected. Spiteful.

ARRIS

Spiteful? How?

DIMITRI

Well. The algorithm for breaking

this baby is going to be a technical

headache on a major scale. We are talking

problem.

ARRIS

How much problem?

DIMITRI

About thirty thousand problem,

I'd venture.

SC.237 ON ARRIS

He looks astonished.

ARRIS

That's a lot of problems.

SC.238 DIMITRI

DIMITRI

So is this.

(beat)

Where I have to go for the

algorithms...I may not be able

to go again for a while. I

have to cover my lost business.

SC.239 THE TWO OF THEM

ARRIS

Twenty thousand.

DIMITRI

Take it or leave it. This (shakes his head)

one's hotter than a Venturi

chamber with an ulcer.

(At this point, the player either has the funds to pay, or
doesn't. If he doesn't...then SC 242. Otherwise,SC 240.)

SC.242 INT. SINNER'S INN

ARRIS

Sorry ain't got the readies.

DIMITRI

Sorry, man. Can't help ya.

He goes back to his snooker game.

DIMITRI (CONT'D)

But come back when you've

got the money.

SC. 243 ANOTHER ANGLE

As Arris leaves.

(Followed by sequence of Arris leaving Sinner's.)
