Time: A Tool For and Against

Scene 1: The Russian Encounter

A black screen with these words in white appear: "What then is time? If no one asks me, I know what it is. If I wish to explain it to him who asks, I do not know." Aurelius Augustine, philosopher.

EXT. A snow covered landscape in a mountainous region, with an active snowfall.

Long Shot -- There is a hidden encampment that is set ablaze. The encampment resembles the landscape, with torch emplacements around the exterior. There are middle eastern terrorists wearing heavy snow attire that are trying to retreat from the encampment through the rear exit with Fireteam Doge pursuing them along with some Russian soldiers.

Medium Shot -- Preacher runs after the terrorists in the front.

Preacher -- A soldier. An american man in his late twenties/early thirties, average built and slightly muscular, red haired with a mustache. Wearing snow gear. He is utilizing a HK XM8 carbine.

Preacher: (Yelling)"C'mon boys, we can't let them get away with the intel. (Hand to comm, on side of helmet) C4, where the heck are you!"

C4 (over the comm): "Patience, anyone can get them in this weather"

Preacher: (Annoyed) "I don't need the sarcasm right now, save it for Saw."

C4 (over the comm): "Fine."

Medium Shot -- Transitions to C4 aiming down his L96 sniper.

C4 -- A sniper. An american young man, skinny, blond hair, and has a scar above his left eye. Wearing a snow camouflage styled ghillie suit.

C4: "Saw can have his sarcasm, I have the accuracy"

Close shot -- C4's L96 fires a bullet. The camera follows the bullet, in slow motion, to one of the terrorists in the front. (Transition from close to far as bullet is about to hit the terrorist)

Medium Shot -- The terrorist doubles over, and is still. Camera then switches to focus on the lead terrorist and female Russian terrorist, Amir. He is carrying a briefcase

Amir -- A middle east terrorist. A middle-aged man, muscular, brown hair, and has a tatooed face. Wearing snow gear.

Amir (looking to female terrorist next to him): (Angry) "Where is the blasted helicopter, Vladlena!"

Vladlena -- A Russian terrorist. A young woman, skinny, black hair, and has a cut on the chin. Wearing standard issued Russian snow gear.

Vladlena: (Annoyed) "Anton is on his way, just do something good in your life and run like heck."

Amir: "He better be here soon if we both still want our (accented) necks."

Vladlena is shown to twist sharply around and unholsters her pistol, a 9x18mm Makarov, and fires some well- placed shots on some Russian personal chasing the terrorists.

(Holster pistol, sharply twist around, and continue running) Vladlena: "As I told you keep on running."

Medium Shot -- Amir grunts and continues to run to an open area. (Transition back to Preacher and other members of Fireteam Doge, who are still in hot pursuit of the terrorists.) Preacher motions for Saw to take position in a snow bank. (Transition to follow Saw.)

Saw -- A heavy gunner. An Asian man in his mid-twenties, well built, black hair, and has a goatee. Wearing snow gear.

Saw immediately trudges over to his position. He sets his bipod attachment to his M249 on the snow bank and unleashes his bullets, which forces the remaining terrorists to get into cover next to their destination.
