Terminal, The - pilot

59.

REECE ‘The fuck was that, Doc?... But there’s no answer on the speakers. Just the sound of the DOOR OPENING and FOOTSTEPS entering the room. REECE (CONT’D) Doc?... THE TRAY jolts and starts to slide out. Reece exhales, relieved the test is finally over. INT. MRI ROOM -- CONTINUOUS REECE’S POV: sliding out of the long white tube only to find... A PISTOL aimed directly at the side of his head. Reece barely has time to register the gun... GRABBING the pistol as it FIRES!... BANG! The bullet grazes Reece’s cheek and RICOCHETS into the MRI tube WHERE THE MAGNETS ARE SO STRONG THE BULLET STICKS TO THE INSIDE OF THE CYLINDER... Reece GRIMACES, getting his second hand on the gun as it FIRES two more rounds... BANG! BANG! ... Ears RINGING, hands on the gun, Reece PIVOTS his hips and CLINCHES the assassin in a JIU-JITSU LEG LOCK... THE ASSASSIN (30, Wiry and Strong) tries vainly to make Reece let go, SMASHING ELBOWS into Reece’s face... But Reece won’t relent. The fight is MESSY and PRIMAL. The assassin LIFTS Reece clear off the patient tray and SLAMS him into the tile floor ... The GUN skitters away, while Reece goes sprawling... Reece goes for the gun, but before he can get it, the assassin TACKLES him into the TECH ROOM WINDOW so hard it SHATTERS... Reece has half a second to register the Doctor and MRI Tech motionless in their chairs, before... The assassin UNLOADS a FLURRY of KIDNEY PUNCHES... Reece BRACES a foot against the wall, LAUNCHING his full weight back into the hitman... The assassin might be younger, but Reece is bigger and he uses his size to his advantage, PINNING his foe with another JIU JITSU HOLD... SMASHING ELBOW after ELBOW into the back of the assassin’s head...
