INT. SILENCERZ BASE, CORRIDOR TO THE CONTROL ROOM – NIGHT

DOWNSHOT ON LEGS – A set of legs is quietly walking down a

corridor. Dark violet lights illuminate the halls, setting a

somber tone.

MOVING UP THE LEGS - Jack looks back over his shoulder to make

sure no-one followed him.

INT. SILENCERZ BASE, CONTROL ROOM – CONTINUOUS

INSIDE DARK ROOM – SWOOP, the door to a pitch black room opens,

violet light from the hallway flooding in. Jack walks into the

room silently and the door soon closes behind him, once again

coating the room in darkness.

OVER JACK – The room suddenly LIGHTS UP. Jack is taken aback

and looks around in surprise.

ON TEZLA – Tesla is sitting in a chair on the far side of the

room, closeby to the Screen-desk.

TEZLA

What are you doing, Jack?

ON JACK – Startled by Tezla's sudden appearance.

JACK

Tezla! I’m just taking a walk. Checking to make sure everything

is ready for tomorrow. What about you? Why aren't you asleep?

ON TEZLA --

TEZLA

I can't sleep. Not while knowing the drones could attack at

any moment. I find it difficult to sleep without Gig’s help,

anyhow.

Tezla stands up from his chair with difficulty.

TEZLA

In any case, I need to know something. Back when we were in the

Acceledrome...

FLASH BACK TO:

INT. ACCELEDROME, ENTRANCE TO THE TRACK - FLASHBACK

BEHIND REVERB - The car SCREECHES to a stop in front of four

drones blocking entry to the track.

TEZLA(V.O)(CONT'D)

You could have stopped him...

Suddenly, one of the Drone charges up with a pink energy and

expels an energetic shockwave that tosses away the drone cars

surrounding it. Afterwards, the drone car’s disguise fades,

leaving only Jack's car.

TEZLA(V.O)(CONT'D)

...and gone into the Ultimate Race in his place.

FLASH BACK TO :

INT. SILENCERZ BASE, CONTROL ROOM – BACK TO THE PRESENT

ON TEZLA – Looking at Jack with a suspicious glare.

TEZLA

"Why did you let him race?"

ON JACK – Slowly walking towards Tezla with a cold and composed

demeanor.

JACK

What does it matter to you?

OVER TEZLA AND JACK – Facing each other eye-to-eye, only a few

feet away from one another.

TELZA

He is one of my drivers. He is part of my team.

JACK

You never cared about your drivers, Tezla, no more than you

ever did about being part of a team!

ON TEZLA - Telza’s expression hardens as the two continue to

stare each other down.
