SCENE ONE

INT. LISA'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

[A man and a woman are on the bed, making love. It is passionate and involved. She moans and rises to meet his touch. He moves slightly to give us a better view. They begin to slip out of frame. The man gets up and walks directly toward camera. Pull back to reveal that we have been watching the lovemaking on a TV monitor. The couple have been taping themselves. The man adjusts the camera and heads back to bed. Stay wide to include the camera, the couple and the monitor. The man is ROBERT WAVERLY. He is a lawyer, the kind that lawyer jokes are written about -- 30's, good-looking, arrogant, and compulsively Machiavellian. He is in bed with the beautiful and uninhibited LISA CRANE, his mistress. They are very hot, very focused. The more their passions soar, the less conscious they become of their own video camera. Robert shifts and his elbow hits the alarm clock beside her bed.

SCENE NINE

 
MacLEOD - I'm just here to give you a turn.

[Kurlow is confident and attacks with relish. He is strong and stylish, but MacLeod stops him quickly and launches a vigorous counter-attack. Kurlow backs off as it becomes apparent that he's no match for MacLeod's anger and determination. Kurlow suddenly bolts and runs off, straight to the nearby maze of hedges.]

INT. TUNNEL - NIGHT

[His sword out, MacLeod moves through the shadowy tunnel. His eyes adjust to the light and find...]

[MACLEOD'S POV: First Robert's gun and then Robert's body half in and half out of the darkness.]

[BACK TO SCENE: He approaches the body and feels for a pulse... Nothing. He hears the siren of a police cruiser as it approaches. He hurries out of the tunnel.]

SCENE ELEVEN

EXT. ROBERT'S HOUSE - NIGHT

[As MacLeod gets out of the car, the BUZZ is even stronger. Then there is a scream. It's coming from the house. MacLeod races up the walk. Tests the door. It's locked. He kicks it open.]

 

INT. ROBERT'S HOUSE - NIGHT - CONTINUOUS

[Barbara is sprawled on the floor, scared and bruised. Kurlow stands back.]

MacLEOD - You do get around.

KURLOW - At least I didn't have to come looking for you.

[MacLeod pulls his sword as well. Barbara shrinks back. She saw the videotape, she knows what's coming. Keeping his sword up and keeping a wary eye on Kurlow, MacLeod glances over his shoulder at Barbara. She is somewhat disheveled, slightly bruised, and bleeding from a cut on her cheek. Most of all, she's scared.]
