Fade in on a small office. Sam(Cage), a middle-aged man, sits at his desk twirling his pen staring at James(Law). The camera pans over to a clock, which reads 11:52 am. Sam gets up to look out the window.
Sam(Sadly): Everyday I wake up hoping that one-day the sun will raise upon this city. That it’s rays will eliminate the darkness that has engulfed these streets.
He reaches over and opens a dossier, examining credentials
James: Sergeant, I don’t know how much help I can be on this operation. I don’t have that sort of mentality anymore. I got rid of it when I found my wife.
Sam (Ignoring him): The man in this picture here is becoming a thorn in the city’s backside.
Sam points to a photograph in front of James. It’s a candid shot of Sebastian looking over a bridge.
Sam: Our sources say that he is living in the seventh sector of the Slums.
James begins to read the file on Sebastian.
Sam(Cont’d): He will be charged with the act of depriving a citizen of his natural rights.
James: Excuse me?
Sam: He has been putting bullets into the head and bodies of citizens of this city. Along with his terrorist group called the “System” they are becoming vigilantes.
James(Still reading the file): What do you care if they are helping you with your job?
Sam(Closing his fist): No one is above the law. Not the gangsters and not those vigilantes.
James: I’ve been told that there are several hundreds of murders each week here in your city. Most of the people that are murdered are innocent bystanders that are in the wrong place when these gang wars erupt.
Sam: Those people are not to be defended.
James: I wouldn’t dream of it.
Sam turns and walks back towards the window. He gazes outside.
Sam:We are sending you into the slums to locate him. I know you know your way around those parts of the city.
James places his hand under his chin
Sam: Please remember you have no authority or jurisdiction here in the city. I don’t want to here any shit from upstairs, okay? This is supposed to be an undercover operation, so the shit stays... undercover. You find that bastard that means you find us. We’ll decide what action to take. Do you understand me?
James: Loud and clear.
