- EXT. NEO LONDON. DUSK. ALLEYWAY.
- A ragged looking hobo is crouched over the ground. He’s using a taped makeshift pen to draw a red symbol on the ground. Suddenly he’s kicked over by an unseen man’s boot and he falls to the ground as the boot pushes his head downwards. The barrel of his gun presses into the hobo’s head and the camera slowly lowers down past the ground as a bang is heard.
- The camera pans down past the ground until the screen is black, the opening credits start to pan past, and each word white with the occasional red letter.
- INT. CORRIDOR UNDERGROUND.
- A young teen in grey clothes and a slightly taller girl stand in centre screen. The guy is clearly agitated and looking around, worried at being caught. The girl knocks three times on the door in front of her, pauses, then knocks a fourth time. Suddenly the door is flung open and two hands grab the pair by their collars and pull them through the door, slamming it behind them to leave an empty corridor.
- INT. RESISTANCE ROOM.
- Inside is a large dark room, around the edge is blackness with the occasional person standing.
- By the door is a small lamp, the two teens and the rebel leader. The rebel leader (Geiger) has a gun trained on Aki and a POV shot shows the gun pointed straight at the camera.
- JESS
- Geiger STOP! This is Aki, he’s just a kid who wants to help!
- GEIGER
- What if he’s a spy!?
- JESS
- I can vouch for him, he’s with me you fucking maniac.
- She calmly lowers his arm and he holsters it shaking.
- GEIGER
- I’m sorry man, you can’t be too careful, not with all the members we’ve lost recently.
- He shakes Aki’s hand firmly.
- JESS
- Geiger’s our attack planner Aki, he’s
- the one who directs us.
- AKI
- You can direct me any way you want,
- I just want to see some colour.
- Geiger gives Jess a meaningful look and steps forward,
- holding out a backpack to Aki.
- GEIGER
- Take this and put it on. It’s full of paint cans.
- The plan is we pair off in twos see, we head up to the
- rooftops and take the paint out those bags and we paint
- the town red!
- He gets more and more agitated, his arms swinging around drastically as he talks.
- GEIGER
- We’ll teach the ants of this
- city what colour means. We'll open
- their eyes in one final act.
- Aki listens carefully as jess helps put the bag on his back.
- GEIGER
- Is that clear Aki?
- Aki slowly nods then looks to Jess.
- AKI
- So... we do this and everything
- gets fixed?
- Jess laughs and ruffles Aki's hair.
- JESS
- Fuck no. It's a start but first of
- all the we have to send the
- message. The people will do the rest.
- GEIGER
- And then finally when the borders
- open, our friends abroad can
- bring supplies in to the sick, the
- poor, the starving.
- Geiger addresses the room.
- GEIGER
- Everyone move out, I want you all
- in position by 7AM. Whatever
- happens, whoever shoots you. I want
- you in position. Remember. Colour
- is POWER.
- There are cheers from the darkness and Jess turns to Aki
- JESS
- You ready to make history.
- AKI
- I'm ready to make colour!
- Jess takes him by the hand and leads him out.
- INT. SERVICE STAIRWELL. EARLY MORNING.
- Jess exits a door with Aki in tow and looks up, they are on the middle
- of a spiral staircase and at the top is sunlight.
- From below a loud bang can be heard. Aki and Jess peer over
- the edge and see a gasmask peering up at them.
- JESS
- Shit! It’s them! Run Aki, RUN!
- Aki and Jess take off upward and a low shot of the stairs shows
- the same boots from earlier running up the stairs after them.
- EXT. NEO LONDON ROOFTOP. 6:55AM.
- They both burst out of a rooftop door and Jess slams it
- behind them as Aki falls to his knees, breathing hard. She
- slides the bolt on the door into place then grabs
- Aki, pulling him up and dragging towards the rooftop edge.
- AKI
- Ow, Jess you're hurting me.
- JESS
- We don't have any time, we have to
- do it now.
- They get to the edge, teetering over and Jess pulls aki
- closer. A shot of the roof door shows it shake as
- something slams into it.
- JESS
- Do you trust me Aki.
- AKI
- W-wha-
- JESS
- We don't have much time, do you
- trust me!?
- Aki seems to be fiddling with the bag.
- AKI
- Where’s the paint, all I see is metal and little beeping red lights in here?
- JESS
- Aki, answer me.
- Aki stops fiddling and looks at her.
- AKI
- I... yes.
- Jess smiles and hugs him close.
- AKI
- T-that's not paint in there
- is it Jess?
- JESS
- No Aki, no it is not.
- The sound of the door slamming open is heard and a shot reveals
- the guard stepping through the doorway, he starts to fire.
- JESS
- Let's bring back the colour.
- The guard fires as Jess yanks Aki and herself, still
- embraced, over the edge of the roofto, this leads to a POV shot leadin over the roof.
- There is a click and a bang as it cuts to black.
- EXT. NEO LONDON STREET. MORNING.
- A man in a white suit and glasses kneels down and
- grimaces at a scuff mark on his shoe. He pulls out a
- white handkerchief and starts to rub at the mark when a dot
- of red drops onto the handkerchief and spreads quickly. his
- face looks puzzled and then another red dot hits his hand.
- he turns his and a closeup of his face shows wonder in his expression.
- Spatters of red start to hit his face as he looks up smiling.
