The movie opens with a panoramic shot of a grassy area overlooking a cliff that’s over looking the ocean. It is mid-afternoon and the sun is starting to go down. It’s sunny with a slight breeze and placidly quiet. In the center of the shot is a woman sitting underneath a shady tree and reading a book. As the camera zooms in you see that she has long flowing black hair. She has full lips and is strikingly beautiful. As the camera gets closer you see that she has tears in her eyes but they will not fall down her face. She seems relaxed and yet seems to have the weight of the world on her shoulders at the same time. She stares out into the ocean.

(The voice of Victoria narrates the beginning of the movie)

VICTORIA

("O" Headquarters – An International Organization that has no known ties or affiliations with any recognized governments. Based out of the Pacific Northwest, they’re unified goal is to make the worst known killers, criminals and terrorists disappear quietly. They specialize in "erasing" the best and most dangerous assassins in the world. Their success has been limited by their people. Until now, that is. They found one woman whose tests and success rates are so phenomenal that she has given them all renewed zeal and hope that they will get a better grip on the evil and injustice in the world. Her name is THRESH, but there is only one problem….

She is missing).

That camera is pulling back and Victoria is still sitting quietly underneath the tree. A hissing sound fades in, an eye blinks (close up) and suddenly the woman underneath the tree has turned into a bizarre looking creature of some sort. It happens very fast and an eye blinks again (close up) and the camera cuts back to the placid scene, except for one thing. There is no one sitting underneath the tree and as far as we know, there never was.

Victoria walks off briskly.

She takes a left down the hall and disappears into the briefing room. She punches in a security code clearance, states her name and puts her face up to an eye scanner. When her identity is confirmed the door locks, the lights go out and she sits down in front of a large computer. She hits a button and the briefing for "Thresh 15" begins. As the information begins to play, Victoria starts to daydream.

MESH TO:

Victoria is seven years old and her parent’s are ignoring her as she plays by herself. Neither one of them have jobs and they snipe at each other all day, unless they’re drinking or doing drugs, that is. Today is her birthday and it seems like they both forgot. Daddy always forgot but mommy usually remembered. She thinks maybe they’re going to give her a surprise birthday party. That would be fun! She hardly ever gets to see her friends when school is out. Their house was in a secluded, elite community far away from the private school she attended. It is getting late and she is starting to realize that maybe they forgot. She hears them talking loudly in the other room and she peeks her head around the corner to listen.

She glares angrily at him and they both go to their separate bedrooms. This is when Victoria finally realizes there will be no surprise birthday party. They didn’t even say goodnight.

MESH TO:

The briefing is ending and Victoria’s eyes are slightly wet. She presses a button and the computer asks her if she wants to repeat or delete the briefing. She clicks on delete and then walks out. The door shuts closed and immediately slams into the next scene.

CUT TO:

Victoria in full suit as THRESH. The camera is on her eyes and pulls back to view the scene. She is in the middle of a frozen wasteland and the camera pans around behind her. A blizzard rages all around her. Just the kind of challenge that she loves.

CUT TO:

The camera shows that Eric is talking to about five employees.

They all start throwing money down on a table.

They all start throwing money down again. Someone says: "Hey, that’s a Canadian Dollar"!

CUT TO:

The horizon is across a vast area of tundra and you can see her breath in the cold air. She positions her arms and body into a cool, martial arts position and says:

THRESH

She starts running incredibly fast. She’s egging herself on as jungle drums pound in the music.

THRESH

She starts laughing. She is truly enjoying herself.

CUT TO:

Five employees are standing and looking up at the TV on the wall. They are watching Jeopardy and the answer is: "The numerical term 3.14 that denotes infinity is also know as this".

THRESH is running hard. She is nearing some kind of compound. She plants her feet into the ground and grunts. The camera cuts to a man in black standing watch. He hears something that sounds like the wind. He looks up. The camera takes the view from his eyes and you see something dark coming down fast. The camera goes dark and you hear a huge sick crunch. The camera pans up and you hear a giggle. THRESH pulls up the suit off the lower part of her face and you see that she is smiling. She bites her lip and says:

THRESH

She looks down at her watch and punches in a few buttons, smiles, pulls her mask back down and heads deeper into the complex.

James walks by and looks at him.

ERIC

CUT TO:

A distinguished older gentleman sits by the fire reading a book. He seems to look European (Croatian). He is stroking his beard a bit. A beautiful short hair cat walks by (Russian Blue), rubs up against his chair and meows up at him. He looks down and pets it a little. There are darkened corners in the large, lush living room and from one of them suddenly you hear:

THRESH

He jumps out of his chair and looks around.

CHRISTOPHER

THRESH

She could have killed him already but, much like a cat, she likes to play with her prey, first.

CHRISTOPHER

No answer.

CHRISTOPHER

THRESH

He walks over cautiously and starts to smile. The cat starts to sense something and growls deep in her chest and puts her ears down flat against her head. It is too late.

THRESH’S suit flashes on in sheer green luminescence. She is grotesque. There are long hairs growing out of her mask and she smiling with huge, freakish teeth. It is only the suit but he doesn’t know that because it happened so fast. His eyes pop open and he freezes in terror, clutching his heart. He starts to stagger back but she grabs him with both hands and pulls him close to her.

CHRISTOPHER

THRESH

You hear a soft but sharp metallic sound. You can’t quite see it but her right arm rams up into his lower chest from underneath. The sound is terrible. His body tenses and then goes limp. His body drops to the floor and she looks down at him for a moment. She turns to go and she hears him whisper, "Thank you". She turns around and pauses and then finally says, "You’re welcome". She continues through the house, looking for any possible information that they can use in other big cases. He had many connections. She finds his computer and starts typing on it. The camera pans around slowly to the other side of the computer and you can see Christopher lying dead on the ground, his eyes and mouth open, with only the soft popping of the fire and clicking of the keyboard as accompaniment while the scene fades slowly to black.

Eric walks into Simon’s office and closes the door. It is dimly lit and it is dark outside the window.

Neither one of them laugh.

FADE TO:

Victoria is sitting on the floor of her shower as the hot water runs full blast. She hugs her legs and her head is lowered. You can’t see if she is crying but she clearly is not happy. You can only see the upper part of her body but nothing explicit. This scene is just about her vulnerability. We can see that she does not know if she is doing the right thing with her life but we don’t know just how much is going on inside her head, yet.

CUT TO:

She is walking around the house in her bathrobe, looking much better and almost happy. Her eyes are a little puffy. She is drinking juice and eating Strawberries & Kiwi. This is when you see how huge her house is and the lifestyle she has inherited, handed down from her grandparents to her parents to her. There is no one else there but her. She doesn’t even have a housekeeper because she’s hardly ever home and doesn’t make much of a mess. She looks out a huge window with a breathtaking view of a Redwood Forest and slips back into memories of her childhood.

MESH TO:

Her parent’s are sniping at each other and it’s another weekend in which both of them seem to have separate plans.

GLORIA

Tom stares at her a minute.

TOM

Gloria turns around and leaves.

CUT TO:

Victoria, still seven, is in her room and can hear them arguing. She can’t hear everything but she doesn’t like it. It makes her feel bad but what can she do?

Her father walks into her room and says:

TOM

VICTORIA

She runs and hugs her dad. He smiles and you know he likes her but you also know he’s such a snake that he’s just pawning her off on his parent’s so he can go do his own thing.

CUT TO:

Victoria gets out of the car and sees her grandma, Victoria, who she is named for. Grandma is standing in the driveway with her arms open.

VICTORIA

She runs and crushes her Grandma in a hug. She is such a sweet kid.

GRANDMA

She eyeballs her son as he gets out of the car and then looks back at grandpa, who is coming out of the house to greet Victoria.

GRANDMA

GRANDPA

VICTORIA

She runs to hug him, too. He hugs her twice as much. When they let go the camera cuts to their hands and he gives her something. You can’t tell what it is but it’s a secret between the two of them and it happens every time they see each other. Victoria smiles up and him and he puts his finger to his lips and looks sideways. Victoria puts her fingers to her lips and smiles again.

GRANDMA

TOM

GRANDMA

Victoria and her grandparents go into the house and close the door. Victoria is jumping up and down as they go in.

CUT TO:

Victoria is still looking out the window and has a huge smile on her face and her eyes are a little wet. Her phone rings and it rips her out of her mood. She stares at the I.D. for a minute. You can tell she doesn’t want to answer it but she does.

VICTORIA

She hangs up and throws the phone across the room. She doesn’t look happy, anymore. She stares angrily around the room and then calms down a bit. She walks up the stairs to her bedroom. She walks into her room and opens a secret compartment next to her dresser. She takes out a case and opens it slowly. Inside are seventeen shiny, silver spheres. She takes one out and rolls it across her palm. It is what her Grandpa used to hand to her when they met from time to time. He used to call them, "chances". She only has seventeen. As far as she’s concerned, she’s burned through fifteen and only has two left to get it right. She has no idea what "right" is but she can’t get the thought out of her mind. Ever.

VICTORIA

She stares at the spheres. She looks up at the ceiling for guidance. The answers don’t come. She stares back down at the spheres.

VICTORIA

Victoria is on her phone in front of a mall. It’s a sunny day and she’s wearing a sun hat, shades and a summer dress. She looks good in anything.

VICTORIA

A mom and her boy come out of the mall and Victoria flashes a huge smile at the kid. "Hi"! She adores children. She goes into the mall.

Eric is in Simon’s office after hanging up the phone with Victoria.

Victoria is shopping and humming, trying to enjoy herself. A clerk comes up to her and asks her if she needs help. She immediately eyeballs him from head to toe and can’t seem to wipe the mean look off her face, wondering if it’s an agent. The clerk backs off, "Sorry".

VICTORIA

AARON

She gives him a dirty look again. The clerk smiles, shamefaced.

He walks away.

VICTORIA

AARON

He waves a bit and calmly walks away. She follows him around the mall, she can’t help herself. She has to know if she’s being played. She sees that he is alone, no friends or family to account for. No ring so no wife. And, no mark left from a ring that he took off so women wouldn’t know he was married. He seemed to just be shopping, too. She monitors what books he seems to be interested in from outside the store. Mainstream novels, video game magazines? He’s a grown man! Wait a minute. Freud. Oh, great, he’s a basket case, it figures. Dream analysis. Hmm. Shakespeare, Emerson. She walks into the store. She comes up behind him and clears her throat. He turns around.

VICTORIA

AARON

She didn’t care if she came off as desperate. It had been so long since she had just talked to someone….anyone.

INFO:

One of the best and least known assassins is thought by "O" to be currently residing in a suburb of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is not known what government organization he works for but his M.O. is unmistakable and some of the "work" he has done is completely unacceptable by "O". He seems to be driven by nothing but pure malevolence. He usually injures many people but he always kills three people at a time, ties their feet together, slits their throats and hangs them upside down by their feet until they bleed to death. He only uses knives. His work has been seen all over the world and no governments have been able to link it together the way "O" has.

SCENE:

(Buenos Aires, Argentina)

The camera pans down from the city lights to the dark, slick streets and alleyways. It is obviously a bad part of town. The camera walks from the street to a back door in a warehouse district. A man in a black hood knocks twice. We only see him from behind. The door opens and you hear two automatic weapons click. There is a large Argentinean standing at the door.

ARGENTINEAN

ADAM

The Argentinean looks behind him at a table where four older gentlemen sit. The one facing the door looks at the man in black and nods his head slightly. The man in black is let in. He sits down at the table, pulls down his hood and we see his face. He is a young, grinning American.

ADAM

They all look at him like he’s an asshole, which he is, but he obviously has connections. He seems like a harmless punk. This is a ploy he has used many times.

(Argentina)

The camera pans in a circle around the Poker table. The grinning American is talking a lot and no one is paying him much attention. Every time the camera pans close to him, computer effects show everything he has on underneath his clothes. He was not searched since he was waved in by one of the Cartel leaders. The first time you see a spring loaded, fiercely sharp blade attached to his right arm. The second time around shows cartridges of tear gas attached to his left arm. The third time shows throwing knives and nylon rope attached all around his belt. The fourth time around shows spring loaded blades in his boots.

He excuses himself from the table to use the restroom after a hand is over. They talk about him when he is gone in Spanish.

They all just look at each other. The American comes back and sits down. He smiles and says:

They are not sure how to react. They look and see that, indeed, the guards that were at the door are gone. They look back at him. He raises his eyebrows. The cartel leader stands up, turns around and says:

LEADER

(Fight Scene – To be coordinated) Obviously, he beats the three men. They all lie on the floor, severely injured but still alive.

CUT TO:

The nylon rope has been slung over a rafter and is slowly being raised. The three sets of feet come into the picture, the legs, the bodies and then the heads, the slashed throats still dripping fresh blood. As he is hoisting the bodies he is whistling, "The Gambler" by Kenny Rogers. The American ties it off and looks at the bodies.

ADAM

He laughs. He’s obviously mentally imbalanced. He starts whistling again as he leaves.

CUT TO:

Eric is on the phone with Victoria.

ERIC

Victoria stares for a minute.

VICTORIA

ERIC

They both hang up.

Victoria’s jaw is tight and you can see that she is high strung and even a little nervous. Suddenly, a hand touches her shoulder. She reflexively grabs it, jams her elbow back and uses her back leverage to throw the intruder across the room. Her tension makes her overdo it a bit. The intruder lands on the coffee table violently and stays on the floor. She sidles over quickly and sees that it’s Aaron.

VICTORIA

She goes over to him and checks to see if he’s alright.

They are in the kitchen and Victoria is tending to Aaron’s wounds.

Victoria stares at her. She has no intention of laying low. If she is risking her life then she will have to do some "information mining" herself.

VICTORIA

She gets up and leaves. Victoria eyes her as she goes and then starts watching every minute detail around her. Even in the daylight there might be a clue.

FADE TO:

The camera zooms in to an open window on the second floor of a seedy hotel in the same area of the last known whereabouts of the target. Then the camera cuts to her standing inside the room and looking down into the streets. The lights are off and she is watching everything. She has a view of the back door of the place where the three men were killed two nights ago. She can’t imagine him showing up again, that would be insane, but she needed all the information she could get. After examining some of the people coming and going she presses something on her hip and, inside of her eye goggles, the time flashes. The local time is 2:43 a.m. She is finally getting a little tired when she sees movement of some kind on the roof of a building parallel to the one that she was watching.

THRESH

There is someone on the roof, possibly watching the same area that she is. They are dressed all in black. Could this be him? She gets a decent view of him through her semi infra-red eye caps.

THRESH

She sits down on the bed and thinks for a minute.

THRESH

She checks the street quickly, climbs out the window and rappels down to the street with a nylon cord that recoils out from a belt on her waist and then coils back in when she lands. She turns around and bolts through the streets. She disappears quickly into the night.

Simon’s phone rings. He rolls over in back and picks it up.

FADE TO:

(Buenos Aires – Rooftop)

The grinning American has taken off his mask and is looking through binoculars at the surrounding area.

THRESH

He stands up but doesn’t turn around. He grins from ear to ear.

ADAM

He turns around to face her. She recognized his voice and now his face. She is frozen in her tracks as a shiver runs down her spine but she will show no weakness.

THRESH

ADAM

THRESH

Adam’s smile drops off his face and he just stares at her. You can tell he is quite aware of how dangerous she is.

ADAM

(Fight Scene – Coordinate)

The fight starts with three guys and one girl coming out from their hiding place in each corner atop the building. She fights them all and beats them, of course. When she finally fights Adam, she is already a little bruised up. He starts getting some really good shots in on her. At one point he hits her with his open palm in her right middle chest. It goes in slow motion and you hear a couple ribs breaking. It makes a horrible crunch. She staggers a little but keeps fighting. He finally gets another really good shot in on her. She falls back and grabs onto a steel cord to break her fall. The cord snaps and she trips over the edge of the building and falls over. She falls three stories, bounces off a car and hits the ground. She can barely move and you can hear blood bubbling in her lungs as she breathes shallowly. Adam looks over the edge and sees that she is not moving. He turns to the others and says:

ADAM

They start to run through the building and down to the street. When they get to where she fell they can see that she is no longer there. They search the immediate area, frantically. Adam finally stops, puts his hand to his head. He starts walking toward the camera, pissed off.

Victoria turns around and walks toward the kitchen. She rolls her eyes and has a look on her face like (whew! That was close). Aaron comes up behind her and turns her around. They kiss longer, this time. He starts pulling up her shirt and you can see her bandages. She grabs his hand and stops him and pulls her shirt back down.

VICTORIA

Aaron smiles and she finally meets his gaze and smiles back. He reaches his hand across the table and she slowly accepts his embrace. Her eyes are a little wet.

CUT TO:

Adam is lying down and staring at the ceiling in a small but modern looking bungalow. He is thinking about the first time he met Victoria as THRESH. It is something that he replays in his mind over and over. He swears allegiance to PUSHKA but all he wants is another shot at her. This, of course, will be his downfall.

FLASHBACK: (five years earlier)

Adam works for PUSHKA and is their top assassin. He is about to earn his crowning victory. He has penetrated the fortress of a secret international organization and is very close to assassinating the head of it. He is walking casually to the area that the man is working, knowing that no one can stop him now. He starts humming to himself as he walks down a dark hallway. In the background on the floor are at least seven bodies lying either dead or unconscious. Suddenly, THRESH lights up in fluorescent fuscia and says:

THRESH

Adam stops in his tracks and stares at her. It is obviously a woman. He has nothing to fear.

ADAM

THRESH

Adam just stares at her. He didn’t have time for this.

ADAM

He tries to push her aside.

THRESH

She grabs his arm, swings him around and using her momentum, throws him into the wall with all her strength. His head hits the wall with a crunch as he goes down. He puts the back of his hand to his lip and sees that he is bleeding. He looks up at her and then does an incredibly smooth, fast backward roll to get up without using his hands.

ADAM

Thresh makes a duck bill motion with her hand like (you blab too much).

(Fight scene to be choreographed). It’s a tough fight but THRESH wins.

CUT TO:

Adam is in a Siberian prison and is talking to a contact through a window.

DIMITRY

ADAM

The contact slides a thin strip of paper through one of the holes. Adam takes it.

DIMITRY

CUT TO:

Adam is put back into solitary confinement. Just before the door closes he opens the paper and sees the name. VICTORIA. He smiles as the shadow falls across his face and the door slams.

FADE TO:

The door opens and the light floods in. Adam is sitting calmly and wearing shades that he obtained through the guards. It has been five years and he looks a little older, harder and meaner. Today is the day he is released from prison. PUSHKA finally pulled enough strings to get him out. As he is walking through the halls he is nodding to the guards. He walks calmly and coolly. He gets his belongings. The Warden watches him as he leaves. He nods to the Warden who looks irritated by Adam’s release. When he walks into the sun, his friend Dimitry is there to greet him. They say nothing to each other. They get in a car and leave.

Dimitry nods.

CUT TO:

THRESH is in a lush Asian area. It is night time and she is high up in a tree in a cool stretched out position to mimic the branch she is laying on. She is using the buttons on her hip to zoom in and survey the area with her eye caps. She zooms around the building and counts about twenty guards, some on the ground, some on the building and she knows there must be at least ten more that are well hidden. She has to thin out the heard. She has a sniper rifle with a new silencer that is extremely quiet and is good for ten shots. She immediately identifies which targets are the furthest from each other and will not have as much time to notice that something is definitely wrong. Once they do, she will have to move fast. She begins. Her speed and aim are perfect, except for the last one. She misses, swears to herself and says:

THRESH

She hits the last guy and the silencer is no longer any good. She can’t believe her luck. It’s late and they are all fatigued. No one has noticed yet. She puts the rifle away and moves in. She goes in a series around the building and takes the rest out one by one. She gets ten more down before the rest finally notice. Then she fights ten at once (to be choreographed).

When she gets inside there is no one there. She can’t believe it. Was she being set up again? She moves like a ballet dancer quickly through the halls. She gets to the target’s quarters and let’s herself in. It is late and he should be sleeping. She hears his voice talking softly. She sidles over to see who he is talking to. She peers into a small room.

TARGET

She looks over and is astonished and heartbroken to see that he is talking to a beautiful Asian boy. She didn’t know he had a son. She listens again.

BOY

TARGET

THRESH walks over to a chair and sits down, looking defeated. She has to kill him. Through his actions, he has killed thousands. She doesn’t have a choice. She hears that they are finishing up. She stands up and waits for him. He walks out slowly, unaware and with a small smile of contentment on his face. At least he was able to enjoy his last moments. She lets him walk far away enough from the room so that the boy will not hear. She grabs him, puts him against the wall and covers his mouth. She slowly moves her hand. He knows the end is near.

TARGET

THRESH only nods slowly.

TARGET

She shakes her head no.

TARGET

She nods.

TARGET

She gives a long pause.

THRESH

You don’t see the violence. You just hear something strange and you see his shadow slump against the wall. She lies him down gently.

FADE TO:

She is sitting beside the boy’s bed. Her mask is off and she has tears coming down her face. The boy senses her and wakes up. He is startled but she soothes him in Japanese.

VICTORIA

The boy is uncertain. He has never known his mother and is curious of her.

BOY

Victoria nods and takes his hand.

She picks him up and slowly walks out the door with him.

FADE TO:

Three days later, Aaron walks up to Victoria’s house and he rings the doorbell. A little Asian boy answers it. Aaron smiles at him.

AARON

TAI

AARON

Tai just stares at him. From behind the door, Victoria appears and sees Aaron.

VICTORIA

AARON

Victoria just stares at him for a minute. He always knows she’s contemplating something big when she looks at him this way and says nothing. It suddenly dawns on him.

AARON

Victoria nods her head. She is eating a peach. It was impossible to read her emotions.

AARON

VICTORIA

Tai runs off to the living room.

Aaron just stares at her a minute. He has no idea what to say.

He smiles. She smiles back at him.

VICTORIA

They kiss.

AARON

VICTORIA

They laugh.

VICTORIA

Aaron gulps, immediately locks the door and follows her into the kitchen.

CUT TO:

Tai is playing Nintendo Wii and can hear them laughing in the kitchen. It makes him giggle, too. He doesn’t know why, of course.

CUT TO:

Victoria is still eating Strawberries. Aaron has red Strawberry all over his lips and face and she’s trying not to laugh. He seems to be in a daze.

AARON

VICTORIA

She has to constantly eat healthy, natural foods to keep up with her massive calorie burn.

AARON

She pauses again. He’s getting used to these scary little pauses. She just got more mysterious every time he met her. That deep look was back again. He just waits.

VICTORIA

He has learned not to argue with her. He figures he’s getting a pretty good deal.

AARON

VICTORIA

Aaron looks thrilled. She starts kissing him and they start laughing. In the background you can hear Tai giggling as he plays his video games. He repeats out loud, "Kiwi time"!

They both laugh and Victoria says:

(Undisclosed Location)

Adam is walking through some dark tombs in a robe and in a meditative state. He is very focused with a very evil and determined look on his face. A voice comes out of the darkness:

ADAM

CUT TO:

THRESH stands atop a forty story building, surveying the night above and then looking down at the streets below. She slowly examines a smaller building that’s a block away through her goggles.

THRESH

She pulls a device off of her belt and shoots a thin, durable steel line across to the top of the other building. When it connects, she immediately hooks up a small zip line and starts to cross over. Just as she about to make it to the roof of the other building, Adam pops up and says:
