FULL SHOT GRANDE COMOROS ISLAND IN EAST AFRICA -- DAY
EXT. BEAUTIFUL SUGAR WHILE SHORELINE OF THE GRANDE
COMOROS -- CONTINUOUS
Jack Swing docks his rubber motorized raft on the sandy
beach. He exits the raft and makes his way inland.
Strolling along the shoreline is a woman of angelic
proportions. Strolling along with her is her well-groomed pet Afghan.
She wears a skimpy bathing suit covered with a shear, free-flowing
wrap-around.
JACK SWING
Hello.
RADAR LOVE
Hello.
JACK SWING
I take it you're my contact?
RADAR LOVE
I be the one.
JACK SWING
Jack Swing is my name. I'm on the Interpol
Secret Service.
He extends his hand.
RADAR LOVE
Nice to meet you, Jack Swing. I am Radar Love,
and this is my dog, Sugar.
She shakes his hand.
JACK SWING
Radar Love, now that's an interesting name. Do
you always find what you're looking for?
RADAR LOVE
If it exist, I'll find it. I have a great sense
of smell.
She takes his arm and escorts him along the beach
shoreline. She then takes a deep breathe.
RADAR LOVE
Can you smell the aroma from the ylang-ylang
trees? Ylang-ylang is used in French perfumes. This place is
nicknamed perfume island.
JACK SWING
The island reminds me a lot of Hawaii. There are
volcanoes, coralline sand, and sandy coves. This is a very
interesting place. Why are we here?
RADAR LOVE
We are in search of the Kelum plant.
JACK SWING
Why?
RADAR LOVE
Tissue samples from the two flamed individuals
were inspected for foreign substances. The Kaiser Wilhelm
Institute and the Marine Biological Laboratory have discovered a
major foreign substance, the acidic properties of the Kelum
plant.
JACK SWING
What is the Kelum plant?
RADAR LOVE
Kelum was once used as an alcoholic sweetener.
Its sweet savor had an unpredictable behavior. At times, it
caused serious illnesses. High levels of chemical viscosity,
combined with intense levels of thermal and electrical
conductivity, cause many to suffer from extreme heat stroke, and
sometimes spontaneous human combustion. It has been banned from
human consumption for the last seventy year.
JACK SWING
Where does the plant grow?
RADAR LOVE
Only in the native soil of the volcanic peaks of
the Comoros. The plant looks like a sugarcane. Afterwards, it
blossoms into a large, dark berry. Mixed with certain
ingredients the plant has been known to turn toxic. It
physiochemical process, as it relates to the human body, can
become elastic and explosive.
JACK SWING
Well, just when you think you've heard it all.
Where do we begin our
first escapade?
RADAR LOVE
(points toward the volcano)
The volcanic crater of Karthala. I must warn
you, it's a one day climb and the volcano is still active.
Remember, the Kelum plant is a dark berry with a sweet, savoring
aroma.
JACK SWING
I guess it's true what they say, the darker the
berry, the sweeter the juice.
RADAR LOVE
(she hesitates)
Jack Swing, you have a great deal of charisma,
charm, and class. You be careful. There is something dangerous
about the taste of brown sugar.
JACK SWING
Mercy!
CUT TO:
FULL SHOT THE CLOUDY PEAKS OF MOUNT KARTHALA -- EVENING
EXT. ROCKY NORTHERN CLIFFS -- CONTINUOUS
Jack Swing and Radar Love are dropped off by helicopter
to a flat clearing on the volcano. The terrain is rocky and heavily
wooded. Armed with back packs and climbing gear, they immediately begin
scaling the steep, snow-covered walls of volcano.
Equipped With harness and rope, Jack is the lead
climber. They make it to a flat tree-line opening. They spot a cluster
of environmentally-controlled greenhouses. They drop their backpacks in
the snow then take notice.
JACK SWING
Now what do we have here? Are the local
authorities aware of this?
RADAR LOVE
Not to my knowledge.
JACK SWING
Let's move in closer.
Jack and Radar take shelter along the heavy bush line.
He retrieves a pair of binoculars from his jacket and scopes out the
greenhouses. He then hands the binoculars to Radar.
JACK SWING
Here. Are those kelum plants?
She inspects the plants via binoculars.
RADAR LOVE
Bingo! They are kelum plants. These people
aren't licensed to be here.
JACK SWING
It doesn't matter. I'm going in.
The greenhouse facilities are surrounded by an
electrically-charged barbed-wire fence. Jack scales a large tree and
inches his way over the fence via an overhanging branch. He dials in the
greenhouse's latitude location. He then leaps onto the ground surface.
A silent alarm sounds off within the greenhouse
control room.
GREENHOUSE WATCHMAN
We have an intruder in G section. Take several
men and check it out.
Four guards scramble for their rifles and rush
out of the control room.
As Jack approaches one of the greenhouses he releases
his gun by way of his quick-release sleeve mechanism. He aims it at the
lock and releases a fine laser beam. He kicks in the door and rushes
into the greenhouse.
Hearing rapidly-approaching footsteps, he immediately
takes cover under one of the plant incubation tables. While hiding under
the table, he pulls one of the plants from its potting soil and places
it inside his jacket. He quickly crawls toward the exit door.
Waiting in ambush for Jack, just outside the door, are
the four guards. As Jack makes his way outside the greenhouse, he is attacked
by the guards. One guard attempts to strangle Jack. Jack breaks
the strangle hold and slams him to the ground. Another guard
attempts to fasten Jack's arms behind his back. Jack places his
right leg behind the attacker and elbows him in the face. The
third guard receives a right cross to his face. The forth guard is swept
to his feet via a low-spinning sweep kick. Jack then makes a dash toward
the fence.

(shouts)
Get him! Get him!
SOUND TRACK IN: "I'M A COWBOY" BY KID
ROCK
All four guards make it to their feet and chase
after Jack Swing.
Jack leaps for the overhanging tree limb. He
tries to pull himself up. One of the guards catches Jack's right ankle.
He attempts to pull Jack down. Jack wraps his free foot around the
guards head and slams him into the electrically-charged fence.
The guard's body shakes violently from the currents.
Another guard attempts to pull Jack to the ground. He
grabs Jack's leg and pulls Jack to the ground. Jack breaks off a piece
of kelum and places it in the shirt pocket of the guard. He spins
the guard around and shoves him into the fence. BOOM! The
electrically-charged kelum explodes in the man's pocket. This
creates a large hole in the fence. Jack dives through the opening.
RADAR LOVE
(shouts)
Jack, over here.
She helps Jack to his feet.
RADAR LOVE
I was told you were dangerous but a lot of fun.
JACK SWING
They didn't lie. Let's get out of here. These
people are pissed.
He and Radar sprint toward the snow-covered tree
line. As they approach the snow-covered section Radar starts to dig in
her backpack. She pulls out an inflatable air mattress.
JACK SWING
What are you doing?
RADAR LOVE
I'm creating a rapid getaway. Do you have a
better idea?
Bullets flood the area.
JACK SWING
No, not at the moment. Handle your business,
girl.
Radar inflates the mattress by pulling the rip cord. The
mattress immediately takes shape. She takes the steering position.
RADAR LOVE
Get on. Wrap your legs around me.
Jack did as she requested. He wraps his legs around her
waist.
More bullets flood the area. More guerrillas rush
out of the control room. They don their snowmobiles and zoom out
of the fence-in yard.
A SILVER HAIR INDIVIDUAL
(shouts)
There they are.
JACK SWING
Let's roll.
He and Radar peddle their way into a rapid
downhill ride. Racing behind them were the snow mobiles. Jack and Radar whiz
around sharp turns. They zoom over steep gullies. The pursuing
guerrillas leap over fallen tree branches and huge boulders. They
split up and disappear behind Jack and Radar.
RADAR LOVE
Do you think we've lost them?
JACK SWING
I doubt it. They're up to something.
The guerrillas reappear and reunite next to Jack and
Radar. They attempt to kick Jack and Radar off their air
mattress. Jack catches the leg of one of the guerrillas and flips
him and his snowmobile over. BOOM. The snowmobile tumbles
and explodes into a huge boulder. Another guerrilla attempts to
grab Jack's rear jacket collar. Jack reaches up and grabs the man's
forearm. He snatches the man off his snowmobile, drags him along, then
releases him into a tree. Radar heads for a steep, mountainous drop off.
RADAR LOVE
Hold on. We're going for a swim.
The guerrillas slow their snowmobiles down as Jack and
Radar race closer to the drop off.
JACK SWING
(shouts)
Sorry boys. Some guys have all the luck. And I
just happen to be one of them.
Jack and Radar jettison over the steep cliff into
the Indian Ocean. It is a ten-story drop. Free-falling, they splash
safely in the ocean.
The guerrillas witness the drop with amazement. The
leading snowmobile driver tosses his helmet aside in anger.
A SILVER HAIR INDIVIDUAL
We must find those two. Gentlemen, I introduce
to you Jack Swing. Word up, it's judgment day. Get Jack Swing.
