131. Immortal - Leslie

• FADE IN:


• INT. CAR - DAY


• ADAM sits inside a small compact car, an empty look on his face.


• He flinches every so often with concentration as he drives.


• ADAM (V.O.)
• Hey honey, I have something to tell you. I went to jail today.


• The little compact whizzes past medians on the wrong side of the road.


• ADAM (V.O.)
• It's simple really. I'm invincible. I mean, on some intellectual level I know I'm not; but it's how I feel, and that's all that matters.


• Tires squeal as cars slide out of his way.


• Adam's path never changes as he hurtles along the highway in a perpetual game of chicken.


• ADAM (V.O.)
• I'm not always like this; but some days I just have enough, and frustration turns into anger and I lock it away inside and it sits there and festers and I break out with a case of numbness. And then I become invincible.


• Lights begin flashing behind him as a cop follows in mad pursuit.


• ADAM (V.O.)
• Something on the edge of my conscious mind tells me I should be worried about this. But I'm more worried that I'm not worried. But I'm not really worried about that either, if you get my drift.


• A car slams into the guardrail as it tries to avoid Adam.


• ADAM (V.O.)
• Sometimes I just snap. My dad used to say he saw red when he got angry. I see cold blue. When I snap, there's no explosion, just a gradual descent into this. And for a few moments, I know that I will live forever.


• His car races faster.


• As he rounds the bridge, a bank of cops line the road, creating a blockade.


• He slams through a line of nails and two of his tires blow.


• He slides towards the row of police cars flashing their lights.


• ADAM (V.O.)
• Cops really don't like invincible people.


• FADE TO BLACK.
