(Car touches down. Door opens and Tharin steps out. He walks over to Ross's workshop. {Lots of city ambience} He enters, the door closes and he begins to walk over to Ross's desk)

[Tharin]

This had better not be a lie Ross. I've already carved your name in a bullet and its programmed to remove every inch of that brain of yours, from that thick rock you call a skull.

[Ross]

Why would I be lying commissioner Grady? What would I have to gain?

[Tharin]

Not sure exactly. What I do know, is that you're supposed to be the smartest person in this city Ross. Yet, everytime I come over here expecting something huge...you sorely disappoint. 

[Ross]

Yes well, I said I've found him didn't I? In what universe would that ever disappoint you? I mean...it is what you asked me to do.

[Tharin]

And how long did that take?  

[Ross]

I can only work with the data we have, how could I have done this any faster….

[Tharin]

...and let's just say he's not there...what shall I do with you then?

[Ross]

(Breath) You are wasting precious time commissioner. 

[Tharin]

I asked you a question Ross. If he's not there what... shall I do with you... then?

[Ross]

(Ross is perturbed, but allows Tharin to continue with his little game.)

I have his signal...if he moves I'll let you know.

(Pause)

[Tharin]

Fine. Where is he?

[Ross]

25th east and 173rd south. The Chang district. It used to be an old soap factory called Doolittles, now it's just an empty warehouse.

[Tharin]

I need to know before he moves, that he's thinking about moving…

[Ross]

How am I suppose….

[Tharin]

because, if he gets away, I will put this bullet in you head. Do you understand me?

[Ross]

Piece of tra….

[Tharin]

The snarky comments end today as well Ross.

(Warehouse door closes. Tharin calls his father on the way to the car.)

[Tharin]

You'll be happy to know, Ross Ajin is still alive. 

[Jarrett]

He must have had something.

[Tharin] 

He's found Saris. I'm on my way now to retrieve him. 

[Jarrett]

Just be careful son. 

[Tharin]

I'll do what I can to bring him back alive.

[Jarrett]

There's something you need to know.

[Tharin]

It'll have to wait. I need to call my department and James. If I'm unable to capture Saris, we'll need every officer we can to keep him from escaping. I'll let you know when he's custody.

[Jarrett]

Ok. We'll talk after, then.

[Tharin]

Yes, we'll talk after.

(Phone beeps and Tharin closes the car door.)

[Salistine]

Welcome back Tharin. Where to this time?

[Tharin]

Doolittles soap factory, Salistine. 25th east and 173rd south, in the Chang district.

[Salistine]

Very well Tharin. Coordinates entered, ETA 3 minutes and 12 seconds.

(Car begins to make noise as it takes off. First from outside the car, then from inside. Phone beeps agian.)

[James]

Tharin!

[Tharin]

James, get every man you can spare, down to the old Doolittles soap factory. We found Saris. I'm on my way there as we speak. I also need you to call my depot and have as many men meet us there as possible.

[James]

I'm on it Tharin.

[Tharin]

Thank you.

(Phone beeps, then Tharin calls Aleen)

[Aleen]

Hello?

[Tharin]

Aleen!

[Aleen]

Tharin? What are doing?

[Tharin]

Ross has found Saris. I'm on my way to retrieve him now.

[Aleen]

Be careful Tharin.

[Tharin]

I will be. Needless to say, I might be a little late to our dinner.

[Aleen]

I don't care about dinner just come back alive.

[Tharin]

You know me, nothing short of a collapsed building is going to stop me.

[Aleen]

(Nervous laugh) I'm serious though...please be careful.

[Tharin]

Aleen...I'll be fine. I'll pick you up after everything is said and done.

[Aleen]

Ok

[Tharin]

Goodbye Aleen.

[Aleen]

Just be careful.

[Tharin]

I will be...talk soon.

[Aleen]

Ok...talk soon.

[Salistine]

Arriving at Doolittles soap factory. Where would you like me to land, sir?

[Tharin]

Across the street, over there by that fence.

(Salistine lands and Tharin begins to exit.)

[Tharin]

Stay running Salistine, I may need your help. If I holler, meet me around back with the door open.

[Salistine]

Will do, sir.

(He closes the door and walks over to the building. As this last bit is happening, the audio transitions to radio, as if someone is listening in. Then for the first time we here Dayton.)

[Dayton]

(Listening into the conversation, Dayton is worried that Tharin might do something rash and worried that Saris is about to do something very stupid.)    

(Breath, then talking to himself)

What have you got yourself into this time Saris? (Pause)

I'd better come find out before you get yourself killed.

(End Scene)

(We here a phone ringing and Jones answers)

[Jones]

Hello.

[Boss]

The two policing forces are, by now, moving in to arrest Saris. However, I'm more than confident that Saris won't go without a fight. Keep this in mind Jones, I have the power to eliminate people without ever having to use a weapon. You are next on my list. It's funny really. Saris was able to figure out something you hadn't. Tell me...did he call to inform you of  my identity?...I thought not. Enjoy this day Jones. It may be the last one you'll ever see.

(Phone beeps.)

[Cornelius]

What is father?

[Jones]

Saris...he betrayed us. Pack things up. We're moving to the bunker.

[Cornelius]

Is it really that bad?

[Jones]

A war is coming. Pack things up. I'll explain our next move on the way.

(Tharin opens the door to the warehouse and enters. Drips of water are heard and the faint sounds of someone moving around inside. Tharin slowly makes his way deeper into the dark building. Then he sees him.)

[Tharin]

Saris?

[Saris]

Ah, Tharin. I was wondering when you'd show up.

[Tharin]

You were expecting me?

[Saris]

Of course. How else would this city recieve it's just closer without this meeting?

[Tharin]

I have a question Saris...why?

[Saris]

Why what? Why does it appear I've joined forces with the Theosin? Why does it appear I've betrayed the council and the city? Why did I allow myself to be kidnapped?

[Tharin]

Yes...all of that.

(Pause)

[Saris]

To end it all.

[Tharin]

All of what...exactly?

[Saris]

To end all the madness. You can't be so naive to think this system isn't flawed in a major way.

[Tharin]

All systems have their flaws.

[Saris]

True.

[Tharin]

Come back with me and we can sort this all out.

[Saris]

(He finds this funny and starts to laugh.)

[Tharin]

I'm serious, we can sort this out and things can go back to the way they were.

[Saris]

Things will never be the way they were…(under his breath) I'm going to make sure of that.

[Tharin]

What are you doing, anyway?

[Saris]

Building something.

[Tharin]

And what...are you building?

[Saris]

Oh this? It's just…its a bomb.

[Tharin]

And where are you going to place this...bomb?

[Saris]

(Says as if he feels Tharin should already know the location)

Central square...duh!

[Tharin]

A lot of innocent people are going to die if you place that bomb in central square.

[Saris]

What do you care?...You're supposed to be dead anyway.

[Tharin]

Look Saris, come back with me. I can fix this. You can have your life back

(Saris puts his tools down and stands up)

[Saris]

You don't understand Tharin. I don't want my life back. I want to get rid of council. I want...to get rid of the Theosin. I want to give the people their freedom. Don't you see? This...all of this was my plan. I've been working on it for a very, very long time. I just wasn't sure who actually ran the Theosin, but now...now I know and soon he'll be dealt with. Besides, why would I want to go back to a system where everyone is always trying to have one another killed? Or gain leverage over one another. No thank you. I'll stick with option number two.

[Tharin]

There are still good people in this city.

[Saris]

What, you mean like miss Aleen Harris? Let me ask you something Tharin. Do you really know Aleen? Have you ever asked her about her past? Have you ever looked into what she did for a living? Before she started working at you father's office, I mean? You think you know everything Tharin, but you know nothing. Heres a little breaking news for you, Aleen was working for Jones. She was spying on you for the Theosin. She was doing this, because Jones knew who she really was. You should ask her sometime...what would Jones have on her that's so juicy, she would spy on you for him?

[Tharin]

You're lying.

[Saris]

Am I? Believe what you want.

(The warehouse door flies open and we hear footsteps running across the floor.)

[Dayton]

Saris! Saris, stop!

(Saris pulls his gun and Dayton pulls his.)

[Saris]

No...you stop.

[Tharin]

What. In the name. Of the council. Are you doing here Dayton?

[Dayton]

I've come to make sure my brother doesn't do anything stupid.

[Saris]

First...we are not brothers and second...I'm done with stupid, this is the smartest thing I've ever done.

[Tharin]

Everyone, put down your guns. Saris, lower your weapon.

[Saris]

Ya...that's not gonna happen Tharin.

[Tharin]

Ok fine.

(Tharin pulls his weapons and pionts them at both Saris and Dayton)

I'll shoot you both if I have to. Now put them down.

[Dayton]

How could you do this Saris? You're supposed to be my brother, Sorrel is you father.

[Saris]

You are not my brother and he is not my father. I understand though...how you feel that way. You were always his prized pet. I'm actually really glad you're here. It will keep me from having to hunt you down later.

[Tharin]

Saris, do not pull that trigger.

[Saris]

And don't worry about Sorrel, I've already made plans for his demise.

[Dayton]

I can't let you do this. I can't let you walk away. As acting Enforcer, I'm only going to ask you one time to put the gun down and surrender peacefully.

[Saris]

(Laughing)

[Tharin]

Saris, stop...do not pull that SARIS!

(Gun shot)

(End scene)

(Someone knocks on Aleens door, she opens it.)

[Aleen]

Tharin.

[Officer]

Miss Aleen Harris, you are under arrest. 

[Aleen]

Tharin, what's going on?

[Officer]

Anything you say or do can and will be held against you in a court of law.

[Aleen]

Tharin! Tharin, what's happening? Tharin! THARIN!!!

(End season 1)
