A hefty script extract...

So, the original plan was to create more than one script extract for my dissertation/pitch document, but then I knocked out a 9 page extract for just one episode... So, I think it's probably for the best that I leave it at that. The episode in question is #11. I thought it would be a great episode to expand upon as it's got action, confrontation, mystery and drama. It's basically got everything I want for my series. It also has a rather touching ending, so I thought it might be quite a nice extract to have. I've started mid way in to the episode, so you might have to refer back to the synopses. In my document I'll throw in a little summary paragraph for the beginning of the episode. Nobody likes repeatedly flicking back and forth through pages of text.
Enjoy!

          SCENE #2. BLACK ROCK CITY, CHURCH ROOFTOP. EXT. DAY. LIGHT

          RAIN

          Alyssa sits on the rooftop of the church, admiring the sun.

          Alyssa pulls a pocket watch out of her breast pocket. She

          clicks a button on the side, opening the face of the pocket

          watch.

          Alyssa smiles at the picture of Rory inside the lid of the

          pocket watch.

          A tear rolls down Alyssa's face.

                              ALYSSA

                         (Shaky voice) "I miss you...")

          An alarm sounds from Alyssa's pocket. Alyssa pulls out her

          phone, which is sounding the alarm.

          Alyssa looks at her phone with a worried look on her face.

          On the screen two red dots are shown on a map, one with the

          name "Rosa" written next to it and one with "Alex" written

          next to it.

          With a gasp Alyssa stands and runs across the rooftop.

          Alyssa dives from the rooftop and shoots her grapple hook,

          zipping off across the sky.

          SCENE #3. ABANDONED FACTORY. INT. DAY.

          Alex is held over the shoulder of a security guard.

          Alex struggles against the security guard holding him, but

          cannot break free.

          Alice calls up to Rosa.

                              ALICE

                         (Shout)

                    "Why are you doing this?!"

          Rosa gives a slightly sarcastic laugh.

                              ROSA

                    "I am YOUR employer, I don't have

                    to give you any answers. You

                    disobeyed me, Alice!"

                              ALICE

                    "I told you Alex would improve out

                    of the asylum, and he has! If you

                    just give him chance!"

                              ROSA

                         (Interrupts)

                    "No more! That boy is a danger to

                    himself and others, he needs to be

                    kept in the asylum!"

          Alex looks on in shock. He knows it isn't in his nature to

          be violent.

                              ALICE

                    "What about the fire?!"

          The question catches Rosa off guard. A slight look of shock

          appears on her face.

                              ROSA

                         (Through gritted teeth)

                    "I see you've been doing your

                    homework..."

                              ALICE

                         (Slightly smug)

                    "It's what you pay me to do."

                              ROSA

                         (Irritated)

                    "I pay you to make patients

                    better!"

                              ALICE

                         (Shouts, interrupts)

                    "And I have! If finding out the

                    root of his problems means

                    uncovering this mystery then that's

                    what I'll do! I'll tear down this

                    very city to find the answers I

                    need! I'll do whatever it takes to

                    help Alex!"

          Alex looks at Alice and smiles slightly.

                              ROSA

                    "As admirable as that is..."

                              ALICE

                         (Interrupts)

                    "Tell me about the fire!"

          Rosa sighs, she then smirks slightly.

                              ROSA

                    "I had my reasons."

          Alice stares for a moment in disbelief.

                              ALICE

                    "It was you... Why?"

                              ROSA

                    "There's no reason for me to

                    explain myself to you."

          Alex feels numb with rage.

                              ALEX

                         (Weak voice)

                    "...You killed my father...?"

          Rosa looks to Alex and smiles sinisterly.

                              ALEX

                         (Shouts)

                    "Why?! How could you?!"

          Rosa ignores Alex, she turns on her heel and steps back

          towards the shadows. She clicks her finger as she walks

          away.

                              ROSA

                    "Kill the girl, I need the boy

                    alive."

          Rosa disappears in to the shadows.

          Alice is frozen to the spot. She knows she won't be able to

          hold off the guards.

                              ALICE

                         (thought)

                    "Sorry Alex... Can't say we didn't

                    try."

          Alice closes her eyes and breathes deeply.

          Alex can be heard shouting, but Alice can't make out what he

          says. She has closed off the rest of the world as she waits

          to die.

          The security guard behind Alice begins to step towards her.

          SCENE #4. ABANDONED FACTORY ROOFTOP. EXT. DAY. LIGHT RAIN

          Alyssa lands on the rooftop of the factory. She runs over to

          a hole in the roof.

          Looking inside Alyssa can see Rosa standing on a balcony

          talking to Alice on the ground floor.

          Alex is held in the arms of a large security guard.

          Another large security guard stands near Alice.

          Rosa turns to walk away.

                              ROSA

                    "Kill the girl, I need the boy

                    alive."

          Alyssa smirks with a slight laugh. She knows this rescue

          will be quite easy.

                              ALYSSA

                    "Arrived just in time it seems. Too

                    bad, Rosa. I need them both alive."

          Alyssa attaches her grapple to the roof and dives through

          the opening.

          SCENE #5. ABANDONED FACTORY. INT. DAY.

          Alice snaps out of her moment of hopelessness.

          Alice watches Alyssa swing down from the rooftop.

          Alyssa swings in with her foot out, ready to kick.

          Alyssa kicks the security guard holding on to Alex in the

          face as he turns to look towards her.

          The guard releases Alex quite abruptly, causing Alex to fly

          through the air.

          Before Alex can hit the floor, Alyssa scoops him up with her

          free arm.

          Alyssa continues her swing back up on to the rooftop with

          Alex in tow.

          Alice watches all this in awe. The security guard behind

          Alice has stopped walking towards her. He also watches in

          amazement.

          Alice looks up towards the roof.

                              ALICE

                    "It's been fun, Alex."

          Alice's eye become teary. She smiles slightly.

                              ALICE

                    "I hope you find the answers you're

                    looking for..."

          Alice's closes her eyes, once again waiting to die at the

          hands of the security guard.

          Alyssa drops down from above with her grapple attached to

          the roof. Using her free arm, Alyssa grabs Alice around the

          waist.

          The security guard behind Alice makes a rush to grab both

          Alice and Alyssa, but Alyssa kicks him away as she pulls

          both herself and Alice up with the grapple.

          Rosa runs back out of the shadows, throwing herself against

          the railing of the platform.

          Rosa looks down to see both security guards rubbing their

          faces and no sign of Alice or Alex.

          Rosa looks up just in time to make eye contact with Alyssa

          as she pulls Alice to safety. Alyssa pulls herself up

          through the hole in the roof.

          Rosa slams her hand down on the railing, enraged.

          SCENE #6. FACTORY ROOFTOP.

          Alyssa pulls herself up on to the rooftop, then she helps

          Alice up.

          Alice looks up at Alyssa's face.

                              ALICE

                         (Surprised)

                    "You... You're the one that saved

                    us back in China Town! You're..."

                              ALYSSA

                         (Interrupts)

                    "No time to talk yet, we have to

                    get far away from here!"

          Alyssa pulls Alex up on to her back and puts an arm around

          Alice, using the hand of that same arm to hold on to Alex's

          arm.

                              ALYSSA

                    "Hold on tight everyone!"

          Alyssa points her grappling hook and fires. She pulls the

          trigger and they all zip off.

          SCENE #7. BLACK ROCK CITY, SKYSCRAPER ROOFTOP. SUNSET.

          The rain has stopped. The sun sets in the distance.

          Alex, Alice and Alyssa sit on the edge of a skyscraper

          rooftop, watching the sun set.

                              ALYSSA

                    "I've been watching the pair of you

                    for a while now."

          Alice leans over to look at Alyssa. She notices that Alex

          continues staring off in to the distance.

                              ALYSSA

                    "To think you've both been looking

                    for me this whole time, and then I

                    show up to save you."

          Alyssa turns to face Alex.

                              ALYSSA

                    "Funny, isn't it?"

          Alex continues staring off in to the distance. Alyssa puts

          an arm around him.

                              ALYSSA

                    "You look well."

          Alyssa stands and takes a few steps away. Alex stands quite

          suddenly.

                              ALEX

                    "You're leaving already?!"

          There is a slight pause.

                              ALEX

                         (Shakey)

                    "I've only just found you... I've

                    missed you... Mum."

          Alyssa quickly pulls Alex in to an embrace. Alice has now

          stood up and turned around to face Alex and Alyssa. Alice

          smiles at the touching scene.

          Alyssa releases Alex, she looks directly in to his eyes.

                              ALYSSA

                    "I need you to stay with Alice for

                    the time being."

                              ALEX

                    "Can't you stay with us?"

          Alyssa wipes a tear from her eye.

                              ALYSSA

                    "I can't, Alex. Believe me I wish I

                    could!"

          Alice takes a step forward.

                              ALICE

                    "Why can't you stay with us? Surely

                    with your help we could stop

                    whatever plan Rosa might have."

          Alyssa looks at Alice. Alyssa lets out a sigh.

                              ALYSSA

                    "I can't help you by being with

                    you. Every second I spend with Alex

                    is a risk whilst Rosa is still at

                    large."

          Alice lets out a sigh and places her hands on her hips. A

          look of frustration crosses her face.

                              ALICE

                    "Well, perhaps you could enlighten

                    me then? I've been babysitting for

                    long enough, I think it's about

                    time I found out why I'm wanted

                    dead."

          Alyssa shakes her head with a slight laugh.

                              ALYSSA

                    "You know, you really are very

                    mature for your age."

          Alyssa's face becomes serious.

                              ALYSSA

                    "Rosa wants me dead, Alex too. But

                    she won't harm Alex whilst I'm

                    still alive. I'm still a problem

                    for Rosa whilst I'm alive, and I

                    intend to keep it that way."

          Alyssa turns her gaze to Alex, then back to Alice.

                              ALYSSA

                    "Rosa knows what'll happen if she

                    lays a finger on my child."

          Alice still seems confused.

                              ALICE

                    "...But, what is it Rosa wants? Why

                    does she want you dead? What did

                    she do? Why did she start the fire

                    that killed Rory?!"

          Alyssa flinches slightly at the mention of Rory's name.

                              ALICE

                    "...Sorry."

          Alyssa shakes her head.

                              ALYSSA

                    "Everything will make sense to you

                    eventually, you're so close to

                    solving this mystery. We all are.

                    There are just a few more loose

                    threads we need to pull at. But I

                    need to find some answers of my

                    own."

          Alyssa steps towards Alice.

                              ALYSSA

                    "Alex is safe so long as I'm not

                    wih him. Alex is safe when he's

                    with you."

          Alyssa places a hand on Alice's shoulder.

                              ALICE

                    "I'm not sure my training covers

                    this..."

          Both Alice and Alyssa laugh slightly.

                              ALYSSA

                    "You're doing well. Can you keep

                    him safe for me? Just for a little

                    while longer?"

          Alice looks at Alyssa. After a brief pause, she nods.

          Alyssa turns back to Alex. She pulls him in to another

          embrace.

                              ALEX

                    "We can be together again soon,

                    can't we?"

                              ALYSSA

                    "One step at a time, Alex. One step

                    at a time."

          Releasing Alex from the embrace, Alyssa takes a step towards

          the edge of the building. She turns back to look at Alex.

                              ALYSSA

                    "You've grown up so much. I'm so

                    proud of you."

          Alyssa wipes a tear from her eye.

                              ALYSSA

                    "I love you."

          Alyssa point her grapple and fires it, leaping off the

          building as she does. Then, just like that she's gone.

          There is a pause. Alex stares off in to the distance. Alice

          places a hand on his shoulder.

                              ALICE

                    "Are you alright?"

          Alex doesn't respond for a moment.

                              ALEX

                    "Did you mean that? Do you really

                    see this as babysitting?"

          Alice smirks and shakes her head.

                              ALEX

                    "You don't...hate me, do you?"

          Alice laughs.

                              ALICE

                    "I've not thrown you over the edge

                    yet, have I?"

          Alice nods towards the edge of the building.

                              ALICE

                    "Come on, we have some loose

                    threads to tug at." 

          Alex and Alice walk towards the rooftop entrance to the

          skyscraper.
