So he lifts the iron bar as a weapon - And he and Luther advance on each other - crossing the walkway. It JOLTS under their weight. Madsen ready to kill. Luther grinning. The light of madness in his eyes. Less a man

than a force of nature. Vengeance personified. SCENE 5 OMITTED

Teller glares at her watch. Five minutes past midnight. INT. KTR MEDICO WAREHOUSE, UPPER LEVEL, WALKWAY - NIGHT 1 - 00.06 7 7 Madsen and Luther advance on each other - converging on the MOMENT OF VIOLENT CONNECTION - When Madsen stops. Suddenly. A moment of EYE CONTACT - Then the WALKWAY GIVES WAY BENEATH HIS FEET - Madsen FALLS - drops the crowbar - it tumbles into darkness - - he CATCHES HIMSELF - just in time - - and hangs there - scrabbling, trying to climb - Can’t. It’s too wet. Too slick. Luther approaches. Edges as close as he can. Takes a moment of PURE MALEVOLENT PLEASURE in Madsen’s desperation. LUTHER You’re going to fall. MADSEN Oh, God - Madsen tries to scrabble up. Can’t. The walkway protests beneath him. A metallic groan. It jolts - gives way a few more centimetres. Madsen is jarred - but hangs on. Just. Over a chasm of darkness. Luther watches with a kind of glee - a kind of madness. LUTHER Where is she? Madsen begins to SLIP - regains his hold - for the moment. His feet scramble, seeking a toehold.
