POINT BREAK
UTAH
Storm's already here... It's
bringing me the swell.
Johnny stares into his drink.
ANOTHER BLAST OF COLD as the front door opens.
Johnny turns at the sound.
TYLER takes a step inside. Her hair is different, more
bleached out, frazzled from the sun. Her eyes adjust to
the dark room.
TYLER
John, they're here.
Utah downs the drink and slides off his stool. He has a
pronounced limps as he crosses to Tyler at the door.
They exit into daylight under an old wooden sign which
reads: LIGHTHOUSE PUB - BELL'S BEACH, AUSTRALIA
CUT TO:
EXT. LIGHTHOUSE PUB - DAY
UTAH and TYLER walk out onto the roadway as several
Australian Police cars converge on them. A dozen
uniformed OFFICERS step out. The ranking officer, a
fortyish LIEUTENANT, walks up to Utah.
LIEUTENANT
D'you see him, Mr. Utah?
UTAH
No. But he's here.
LIEUTENANT
Now, look, I know you used to be a
federal agent up in the states and
all that, but you're a citizen now,
so just find him and we'll handle it
from there.
UTAH
No problem. Just give me a couple
minutes with him first.
Johnny limps out across the huge expanse of sand alone.
CUT TO:
EXT. BELL'S BEACH - AUSTRALIA - DAY
WALL OF SOLID WATER FIVE STORIES HIGH CRASHES straight
down in a holocaust of spray...
Rising up from the ocean to meet a tormented sky, roll the
most terrifying waves any surfer has ever seen. They
close out, pummeling the ocean floor, casting a shockwave
up the shore.
SURFERS gather on the sand, gaze out to sea.
1ST SURFER
Jesus Almighty, the bloody sand's
shakin'.
The beach sounds like a MORTAR RANGE.
JOHNNY passes among the brahs.
2ND SURFER
Totally closed-out. It's fuckin'
death on a stick.
ON BODHI, sitting crosslegged in the sand, arms folded
around his knees. He stares pensively out at the waves.
His hand reaches out and absently strokes a surfboard
lying next to him.
UTAH (V.O.)
I knew you wouldn't miss the fifty
year storm, Bodhi.
Bodhi smiles, the odd smile of a sportsman who appreciates
the cunning of his opponent. Utah sits beside his prey
and stares at the ocean. Bodhi stares with glittering
eyes at the heaving ocean before him, face splitting into
that feral, death's head grin.
BODHI
And I always knew I could count on
you, Agent Utah.
UTAH
I'm not FBI anymore.
BODHI
You never were...
UTAH
I asked them to give me a couple
minutes...
Utah calmly glances over his shoulder.
Bodhi follows Johnny's gaze to the cops watching from the
road.
BODHI
It went bad, brah. Real bad.
(smiles inwardly)
I just felt it was time...
A BOOMING ROAR sounds from the ocean.
Bodhi just stares at the waves, with awe and perhaps fear.
BODHI
Time to dance with the universe.
(he turns to Utah)
I could never handle a jail cell.
You'll do this for me, won't you
Johnny? Haven't I earned this
much?
Utah doesn't move to stop him as he stands, hefting the
longboard.
He half smiles, then turns toward the water, and starts
walking.
He stops. Turns around.
BODHI
Thanks, brah.
Bodhi doesn't wait for a reply. He walks to the water's
edge, and never looks back. He throws his board into the
foam and paddles, the riptide pulling him out. The
monsters dwarf his body as they quickly suck him into the
trough of the holocaust.
UTAH stands and solemnly waits for the universe to deliver
final justice. The cops are running clumsily across the
sand, too late to stop Bodhi. Tyler steps up behind
Johnny, and puts her hands on his shoulders.
