FADE IN: INT. NAPLES, ITALY - POSTMODERN PENTHOUSE - DAY A brushed aluminum castle in the sky. Rays of sunlight splinter in through cathedral windows as the guttural SOUNDS of a life and death STRUGGLE come from offscreen. This leads us around a corner to where a broken Pembroke table's spindly legs lay splintered about the tiled floor along with a jammed automatic pistol. TWO MEN wrestle furiously on the tiles. A HITMAN strangles his much larger TARGET from behind. The Target elbows the Hitman hard - breaks away - rolls toward the pistol. The Hitman spins to his feet - kicks the pistol away and -INT./EXT. PENTHOUSE BALCONY - CONTINUOUS It scuds onto the balcony and then - falls off the balcony. INT. PENTHOUSE - CONTINUOUS The Hitman grimaces at the loss of his weapon - grabs up a broken table leg and leaps - plunges the table leg's jagged end into the Target's neck. The Target clutches his throat. Blood gurgles through his fingers. The Hitman rips the leg up again and plunges it into the Target's heart with shocking fury. The fight is over. The Hitman's name is JACK, a tough old tiger whose path you'd not want to cross - ever. Jack rises to his feet - glares down at the Target. JACK (quietly) Fucking - die already! Jack smooths his hair - turns just as a POLICEMAN enters. POLICEMAN (in Italian) You there! The Policeman rushes Jack while pulling his sidearm. Jack meets and disarms him. The Policeman front-kicks Jack away. Jack recovers but the Policeman is on him again. They struggle a moment until -Jack grabs repeatedly stairs for steps over

a nearby statuette, a golden tiger with which he bashes the Policeman's head until he falls. Jack a beat at the chaotic scene - shakes his head his second kill and exits the room. FADE OUT:

Felicia rolls onto her belly, lowers her sunglasses. FELICIA Jack! BACK TO SCENE FELICIA Where have you been? to be on holiday!

DuPont watches the disturbance Felicia causes among his guests and smiles. DUPONT Pull her file for me. Victor does and the screen they're watching splits in two. Felicia's live video plays on the left, her bio on the right. DuPont reads Felicia's bio and begins to laugh. Victor doesn't understand. VICTOR What is it? DUPONT That little tigress -(points) Is Jack Diamond's - girlfriend. Victor stares at the screen, shakes his head in disbelief. DUPONT She actually came! (disbelieving laugh) Perfect!

She screams bubbles - claws for his hand as Nick tries in vain to catch her. Michéle disappears through the open valve into the bowels of the water system.

Jack strains with his might against the chains. It's a tense moment Jack roars his fury, every muscle rippling his hatred for DuPont, warring against the power of the chains. DuPont watches Jack fight to be free. The chains rattle, squeak and moan. It almost seems like Jack is winning, like he might tear his chains from the wall after all. At last, Jack must accept his powerless state. with a howl. Impressed, DuPont chuckles.

He gives up

DUPONT Jesus, Jack you almost made me a believer; thought for a second you might actually break free and come get me. JACK Don't let me disappoint you Philip. Unchain me and let's do this. DUPONT (to Nick) What do you think? Does that sound like a good idea to you, Nick? Nick only growls and it is now that Jack looks around.

The tank's top opening is covered by a padlocked lid Sudden SLOSHING SOUNDS come from within the tank - the LID RATTLES against its padlock. Moments later, a small EXPLOSION blasts the padlock off. More SLOSHING and the lid opens. Out climbs an exhausted looking and soaking wet, Michéle.

These hard hitting types we're going to call the "Shirts" for obvious reason. The screen behind DuPont now splits in two with the sexy "Skins" on the left and the roughish "Shirts" on the right.

58. DUPONT (V.O.) You watch whichever team you want. Switch back and forth anytime you want. We don't care what you watch but you should know that when you do switch, you take points away from one team and give those points to the other team. The camera closes on DuPont as he summarizes his game plan. DUPONT When the game is over, the team with the most points -- will live to play again. And the other team? DuPont slowly shrugs for the camera - a wicked smile lights his face. DUPONT And now let me introduce our team captains. The screen expands - lots of skin to look over. Several lovely young women smile into the camera. Felicia is featured prominently among them. DuPont denotes her happy face. DUPONT Many of you voted for this particular beauty for our Island Queen contest and I can see why but technical difficulties have intervened and I'm afraid she won't be captaining our first "Skins" team. Perhaps the next round will see her back in the game. Dupont happily turns back to the screen. The Midwestern Blonde appears, smiling past her fear for the camera's enjoyment. DUPONT Isn't she something? Connie will captain the "Skins" this round. BACK TO SCENE DUPONT Now, for the "Shirts" there can really be only one captain. You know who he is.
