FACE/OFF
Several agents waver -- unsure. But not Wanda and Buzz.
WANDA
Put the gun down --
BUZZ
-- Now!
CASTOR
(beat)
Can't blame me for trying.
He grabs a shocked Jamie -- shoving the gun under her
chin.
Archer struggles to his feet as --
Castor -- using Jamie as a shield -- backs out the gate
to the garden. Archer follows -- cautiously.
CASTOR
Say goodbye to Daddy --
Jamie whips out the switchblade -- sinks it into Castor's
thigh and twists. She dives away. FIRING wildly, Castor
staggers back through the gate.
CASTOR (O.S.)
You ungrateful delinquent!
OUTSIDE GATE
As Castor turns and staggers away -- he runs smack into a
confused security agent.
CASTOR
Give me your weapon -- now!
The agent hands over his UZI -- and Castor PLUGS him.
BOATYARD
Archer and Eve make sure Jamie's okay.
JAMIE
(to Archer)
Who are you? Will someone please
tell me what's going on?
Archer rushes to the gate and hauls it open.
CASTOR
limps away from the boatyard, towards the slips -- alive
with sunbathers and yachters.
EXT. MARINA DOCKS - DAY
Castor hustles along until he finds what he's looking
for --
Twin Cigarette BOATS -- racing boats -- being TUNED UP by
their suntanned crews. He jumps into one of the boats.
BOAT CAPTAIN
Hey -- !
Without even looking, Castor SHOOTS the guy dead. In a
flash -- Castor THROTTLES up the BOAT. He sees --
CASTOR'S POV
Archer running down the dock toward the adjoining boat.
CASTOR
FIRES -- peppering the dock.
Archer knocks the boat owner to safety -- as the BAIT
HOUSE BLOWS UP behind him. Archer rolls into the boat --
FIRING.
Castor's hit! A slug grazes his shoulder. He grabs the
THROTTLE -- taking off.
ARCHER
FIRES UP the second BOAT -- in pursuit. Castor BLASTS
back -- SHATTERING Archer's BOAT COMPASS.
CIVILIAN BOAT
speeds toward him -- causing a near-miss.
ANOTHER ANGLE
Running parallel, Archer and Castor BLAST at EACH OTHER
at point-blank range. Their boats smash and pound each
other.
A police boat closes in on them.
Castor FIRES at the police -- obliterating both crew and
boat. The POLICE BOAT'S rear SMASHES into Archer's
craft.
Archer's BOAT plows up and through the other. EXPLOSION!
Momentum carries Archer across -- and back into the
water.
The boat lands right next to Castor's.
Archer and Castor resume their battering... approaching
a --
TUG
pulling a barge.
Castor forces Archer into its path. At the last
moment...
Archer leaps onto the bow of Castor's boat as --
KA-BOOM! Archer's boat crashes into the BARGE which
EXPLODES.
CASTOR
swerves wildly -- trying to throw Archer off.
Archer can only watch as Castor reaches for another clip.
But the boat hits a wave...
Castor loses the gun -- which skids away. Archer slips,
his head hanging over the side. Castor tries to ram
Archer, but he pulls himself up just in time.
Castor grabs the anchor -- swings it. WHUNK! It sinks
into the deck beside Archer -- but the chain is around
his neck.
As Castor tries to strangle him -- Archer headbutts
Castor, who reels -- snagging his leg around the chain.
Castor falls back -- plunging toward the water.
Archer tries to hold Castor up... as the boat speeds
toward --
PIER
Archer yanks Castor back onto the deck as the BOAT
BOUNCES OFF the pier pilings. But as they slug it out...
ANOTHER ANGLE
WHAM! The BOAT careens off a piling -- and ROARS
straight for the shipyard. COLLIDING with a shoreline
obstruction --
The BOAT FLIPS, stern over bow...
Archer and Castor go flying... onto the beach.
EXT. BEACH - DAY
Archer and Castor lie dazed... then stir. Castor sees
the pistol lying half-buried... he reaches for it.
But --
Archer gets it first. He aims it at Castor as they rise.
CASTOR
You won't shoot me, Jon. I'm
unarmed...
ARCHER
Okay, I have a confession to
make... but you aren't gonna like
it... You're right, I won't shoot
you. Not in the face anyway.
BOOM -- Archer SHOOTS Castor in the chest! He jerks and
reels -- dropping to his knees. He looks at Archer in
total disbelief. Then he sinks to the ground and lies
still.
Exhausted, Archer lets the empty gun drop. Then he turns
and sees an FBI chopper heading his way. Relieved, he
turns back to Castor, but -- Castor's body is gone!
Castor is crawling toward the flipped boat's spinning
stabilizing screw. Archer FIRES -- hitting Castor in the
leg. He buckles... but keeps going.
Archer leaps on him -- they struggle as Castor tries to
bury his face on the spinning blade.
CASTOR
It'll never be over, Jon... every
time you look in the mirror...
you'll see my face...
They struggle as the propeller blade. gets closer,
closer -- slicing into "Archer's" cheek. At the last
instant...
Archer reaches the anchor-chain. He wraps it around the
screw -- stopping the whirling blades.
Castor finally sinks to the ground -- and no longer
moves.
Archer takes Castor's hand -- trying to tug off his
wedding ring. Just when he almost has it off -- Castor
suddenly grabs Archer's wrist and holds it tight.
Eye contact between the two men. Castor smirks, his
grasp slackening... as he finally fades away. Archer
lets Castor's hand drop, then slides the ring on his own
finger.
ANOTHER ANGLE
The chopper lands. Buzz and Wanda rush over.
BUZZ
You okay, Archer?
ARCHER
What did you call me?
WANDA
He called you 'Archer' -- sir.
Archer finally realizes -- they actually mean him. He
smiles -- Jon Archer's long lost smile.
EXT. SHIPYARD - SUNSET
FBI med-teams strap Archer onto a gurney. Castor's inert
body is beside him.
EVE
Hang on, Jon... they're bringing
in their top surgical team from
D.C...
