Episode 9
“Zero Option”
EXT. NEW YORK - SECRETARY PICK UP - AFTERNOON
KELLY O'DAY
You two know how to make a splash
on Broadway. You've been all over
the news.
ROCCO
Do you want to be my agent?
KELLY O'DAY
I'd be known as the Agent to the
Secret Agents, no way!
They pull into a parking structure, board an elevator to the 56th floor. Morris, Rocco, the secretary walk down the hall to MANHATTAN IMPORT EXPORT OFFICES.
They walk into Colonel Hackman’s office and sit down.
COLONEL HACKMAN
We have a problem with SCOTLAND
YARD. They want a piece of
Stringer’s ass. The CIA is willing
to play ball but the Brits are
making it tough.
Stringer has to spend some time
here in NEW YORK at the Federal
Lockup. He'll be extradited back to
the UK and all we can do is to give
him all the information they need
for leniency.
ROCCO
That’s not going to work.
MORRIS
What about the Bolivians, they have
to pay for this, it stinks from he
top down.
COLONEL HACKMAN
The Bolivian President has an escort out of the country. It's a delicate situation.
MORRIS
Colonel, with all due respect, I
have a idea that would work for
everyone. After I talk to Stringer,
I'll map it out for you.
COLONEL HACKMAN
Deal!
Morris and Rocco walk out of Colonel Hackman’s office.
ROCCO
You want to let me in on this great
idea?
Goodbye's to Hackman’s secretary, out the door to the elevator.
MORRIS
Idea? I have no fucking idea, let's
get over to Sammy’s.
They leave through the underground parking lot. Brigitta in Monte Carlo is speaking to Stringer on the phone from the yacht. She can hear clicks, from SCOTLAND YARD satellite tracking, she talks fast.
STRINGER
I'll see you soon.
Stringer takes a cab to SAMMY’S hotel on New York waterfront.
SAMMY
I've got a room on the sixth floor.
Sammy throws a ring of keys toward Stringer,
STRINGER
Right, thanks Sammy.
Catches the keys in flight and rushes up to the sixth floor hotel room. Stringer and Rocco enter Sammy’s Hotel, Sammy signals upstairs, the two rush up to Stringer’s Hotel room.
STRINGER (CONT’D)
This better be good.
MORRIS
Just listen and follow directions.
ROCCO
Looks at Morris
I thought you had a plan.
MORRIS
Fuck off Rocco, let me think!
MORRIS (CONT’D)
Does the Colonel know that I'll
testify against these assholes.
If you testify that would blow our
cover and the Colonel doesn't need
the publicity.
STRINGER
What about Scotland Yard?
MORRIS
That's something we've got to work
on. Ok, here's the plan.

EXT. NEW YORK - FEDERAL BUILDING - AFTERNOON
Colonel Hackman’s Secretary drives Stringer to the FEDERAL BUILDING. FEDERAL MARSHALS and SCOTLAND YARD AGENTS are standing on the steps awaiting Stringer’s surrender.
Hackman’s Secretary pulls up to the curb, two Black vans pull up behind her. Gunmen in ski masks dressed in black jump out of each van. They surround the Secretary’s car, they point their UZI'S up. Short blasts divert everyone's attention.
They pull Stringer out of the car, pour gasoline on him. Flames shoot up, Stringer’s on fire.
The Secretary’s van speeds off. Federal and Scotland Yard agents rush to save Stringer.  Stringer’s body explodes. Blood and body parts everywhere.
A street sweeper, traveling across the intersection drives though the bloody mess, squirting street cleaning fluids. Nothing is left.
Tommy, the bartender drives in the first van. He takes off his black mask as he speeds off. The FEDERAL AGENTS are in disbelief.
EXT. AERIAL - MONTE CARLO HARBOR - AFTERNOON
An aerial of the starting grid for the MONACO. GRAND PRIX.
INT: MONACO - AUDI PACE CAR - NOON
FORMULA ONE cars slide side to side heating their tires, as they ready for the start of the Monaco Grand Prix.
EXT: MONACO - HAIRPIN TURN BEFORE TUNNEL - NOON.
The racers enter and exit the tunnel, engines screaming.
EXT: MONACO - BLVD.LOUIS 11 - PRESIDENT KENNEDY BLVD - NOON
The racers sling shot out of the tunnel onto Boulevard Louis 11, along the President Kennedy Boulevard, the racers twist past the chicayne, as their the cars speed toward the Harbor Pool.
EXT: MONACO HARBOR - OUTER WALL - AFTERNOON
The Yacht "Arrows slips out of Monaco Harbor." Morris, Sandi,  Rocco, and Juliana sip beverages on the lower deck and Stringer rubs suntan oil on a topless Sandi. The yacht 'ARROWS' moves slowly out to sea. Heading south toward the AMALFI COAST.
