Sarah
No. I'm fine.

Howard places his hand on the doorway as he exits. Sarah glances out the window at the traffic.

At the doorway, a clear bulge pushes out from the frame and takes the shape of Howard. Sarah's attention turns toward the door as Howard (really the T-ONE THOUSAND) walks into the room, walking calmly over to the desk, facing her.

Sarah
Are the machines out of order?

T-ONE THOUSAND(as Howard)
Yes they are.

The real Howard walks back into the office.

Howard
Sarah, I forgot to...

Howard stops, seeing his mirror image. Sarah looks at both then slides slowly out the chair. THUNK! T-ONE THOUSAND quickly lashes out. Sarah hurls herself from the chair.

T-ONE THOUSAND's arm pierces the back rest. Sarah relives her old nightmares as she scrambles out of the room. Howard backs out of the way. T-ONE THOUSAND resumes normal form while chasing after Sarah.


18. INT. -- HALLWAY -- DAY

Sarah runs down the hallway. She reaches the end of the hallway, and presses desperately on the buttons next to the elevator. She glances backwards seeing the T-ONE THOUSAND reaching for his Luger.

Sarah kicks off her black pumps and and bolts through a door to a stairwell. Several rounds PIERCE the wall above Sarah's head.

19. EXT. -- SOFTWARE ALLIANCE -- PARKING LOT -- DAY

Sarah sprints out of a door and to her car. As she gets into her blue Dodge Neon, T-ONE THOUSAND CRASHES out of a fifth story window. He plummets to the pavement ad mist a shower of shattered glass.
