EXT. MOUNTAIN ROAD - DAY 122
The Maybach car sweeps along the mountain road.
123 INT. CAR - DAY 123
Inside the car, the CHAUFFEUR sings along to music.
He rounds the corner to the final approach to the perimeter
gate.
Ahead, outside the gate, is a BLONDE GIRL.
124 EXT. PERIMETER GATE - DAY 124
From a distance, in a locked-off wide, we watch as the car
pulls up to her.
Nothing betrays that AVA is anything other than a pretty
blonde-haired girl in her early twenties.
The front window winds down.
She leans to talk into it.
CUT TO -

125 EXT. PERIMETER GATE - DAY 125
- AVA’S precise POINT OF VIEW.
Looking in at the CHAUFFEUR.
The image echoes the POV views from the computer/cell-phone
cameras in the opening moments of the film.
Facial recognition vectors flutter around the CHAUFFEUR’S
face.
And when he opens his mouth to reply, we don’t hear words.
We hear pulses of monotone noise. Low pitch. Speech as pure
pattern recognition.
This is how AVA has been sees us. And hears us.
It feels completely alien.
126 EXT. PERIMETER GATE - DAY 126
AVA and the CHAUFFEUR finish talking.
We are too distant to hear their conversation.
But whatever is said, a few beats later, the CHAUFFEUR exits
the car, and goes around to hold open the rear door, to allow
AVA to enter.
Then goes back to the driver’s door.
Gets in.
And the car pulls off.
