60. The Captain looks up. Two HARRIER JUMP JETS ROAR overhead with U.S. Marine MARKINGS. He shakes his head, irritated. A large ROLLER DOOR. An advanced ELECTRONIC LOCK on an otherwise antiquated building. BETH Why are we... here? The Captain ignores the question. He takes his SERVICE I.D. CARD and scans the ELECTRONIC LOCK. A RED LIGHT turns GREEN. The Captain punches a BUTTON on the exterior wall. The ROLLER DOOR RATTLES its way up. INT. MACHINE SHOP The Captain punches a BUTTON on the internal wall. The ROLLER DOOR RATTLES its way down again. He flicks a SWITCH. A FLORESCENT TUBE FLICKERS on. SHADOW everywhere. CAPTAIN You know who you are, flute girl? You’re no terrorist, but you’ve been linked to a non-conformist. Know what that means? The Captain gives Beth a hard slap to the face. Beth tries to compose herself. BETH I was just... in the wrong place... at the wrong time. I told the Internal Security-- BETH (CONT’D) I lost my parents... in the earthquake. CAPTAIN You’re not here because you lost your parents though are you? Beth shakes her head. A tear runs down her cheek. It’s fear, not pain. BETH I’m not a kid. I’m sixteen. There aren’t... any... kids here.
61. CAPTAIN The illegitimate ones have a tendency to disappear. The Captain takes another swing, but stops suddenly. His expression is complete malevolence. Beth cowers. BETH Why don’t you just... hit me? CAPTAIN I decide what happens around here. And when. Since when did lying help anything? EXT. MACHINE SHOP Off in the distance a set of HEADLIGHTS cut through the night. Two SEARCH LIGHT BEAMS scan across the camp. INT. MACHINE SHOP Pure rage takes over, and the Captain man-handles Beth, throwing her into a STEEL WORK BENCH. Beth’s body crumples against the bench. The Captain walks up to Beth, pulls her around. Her cheek is bruised, an EYE SOCKET fractured. The EYE is BLOODSHOT. Stepping back, as if to admire his handiwork the Captain smiles at Beth. CAPTAIN Sixteen, huh? I already know everything I need to know, Bethany. Beth’s face is wet from tears. She grits her teeth, so hard she cuts her lip. BLOOD FLOWS from the side of Beth’s mouth. EXT. MACHINE SHOP - APPROACH ROAD
