RAGNAROK:
THE RADICAL ARMAGEDDON

INT. JAKE & CHANCE'S PLACE

JAKE is lying on the couch asleep, watched intently from across the room by DARA (FIRST WOMAN from ep 1). JAKE is still a little beaten up from the crash, but has cleaned up considerably since we last saw him. Much thumping and groaning is heard from out of frame before CHANCE enters, and flops down into a chair. CHANCE is also looking better than when we last saw him, but he is visibly worse off than JAKE. dara
You shouldn't be up. Good morning, though. She leans over the couch and run her fingers down JAKE'S face, her insubstantial finger tips pass through his skin. jake
(STIRRING)
Chance? What, are you trying to kill yourself or something? chance
I'm not going gonna just lie upstairs Jake. I'm hurt, not dying. Besides, I was hungry and you were napping. jake
(STANDING)
Really hungry, or just snakish?
chance
Well, breakfast would be nice
jake
O.K. Gimme a few minutes
JAKE leaves, in the direction of the kitchen.

DARA stands and walks over to CHANCE, kneeling in front of his chair and giving him a good look. dara
Well, it's been three days. If it hasn't happened by now it probably isn't going to Obviously somewhat nervous about what she's about to do, Dara lifts both hands and presses them against CHANCE'S chest. Although she tries for several seconds she is unable to put them inside him. She leans back on her haunches, smiling. dara
Excellent!

News reader
The Enforcers have ensured the citizens of MegaKat City that the recent upgrades to their armed capabilities, intelligence techniques and precautionary measures will be more than adequate to prevent any further outbreaks of violence from the millennium cults which have become a serious problem in recent months. It seems that the Enforcers are not the ones which Kats on the street are turning to for protection. With the downing of the TurboKat and the confirmed disappearance from Central hospital, many are wondering if the Enforcers are capable of defending the citizenry without the assistance of the SWAT Kats roll title

break to
int. enforcer's situation room

A high level meeting is occurring, present are the two FERALS, STEELE, and sundry other members of the Enforcer's command. uly
I'm sure I don't have to tell you how disturbed I am by the recent news reports. Not only by the fact that it seems the general populace has such a poor image of us, but also by the fact that the record seems to back that image steele
That's not true, the Enforcers have an excellent record. We have mustered troops against threats that most other groups in our class would have no hope challenging uly
We've mustered troops that have stood by and watched while the SWAT Kats dealt with the threats in question. It's not really surprising that the populace identifies with those two since it's always them on the front page of the newspaper saving the city steele
You're suggesting we run a public relations campaign? uly
No, I'm ordering one. With the SWAT Kats momentarily out of the picture this is an excellent chance to remind MegaKat City that the Enforcers were protecting them long before that pair of miscreants crawled out from under their rock. With any luck we'll be able to ensure that their downtime lasts much longer than expected. Won't we Felina? felina
I've been able to confirm that the SWAT Kats left Central hospital in an air ambulance which was ostensibly carrying critical blood products needed for a transplant operation in progress at Western Private. There was an operation, but Private's blood stores are very well stocked and there was no need for supplies from Central

uly
I see
felina
Obviously there are only so many people who have the authority to simply order an air ambulance, and I have interviews arranged uly
Thank you Felina, but I'd like you to concentrate your efforts on finding the current location of the SWAT Kats. I will handle the interviews personally, since they undoubtedly involve important citizens of the city felina
Yes sir.

ext. jake & chance's

CALLIE is standing at the door, and rings the doorbell.

Shortly after DARA'S head emerges through the surface of the door. dara
Oh, it's you
DARA pulls her head back in, and the door swings open. Callie is unsure about entering, but does anyway, passing through the invisible DARA who stands in the doorway. dara
Well it's a pleasure to meet you too

int. jake & chance's place

The boys are draped around the living room, lightly sleeping. They rouse themselves as CALLIE walks in, with DARA close behind. callie
Well it's good to see that you boys are up and around, but I'm not sure that the doctors who spent so much time patching you up would agree jake
Chance's accident wasn't that bad Callie, I'm surprised you even knew about it. Did you come all they way over here just to wish him well? callie
Cute Razor, but you're not brushing me off jake
I honestly don't know what you're on about, Chance was trying to salvage some parts from one of the wrecks in .. the .. yard ... what did you just call me? dara
Looks like the game's up boys!
chance
Callie's just playing games Jake, trying to make me feel better about by bonehead mistake jake
Well you should have been ...
callie
OK, enough. Everyone in this room knows that Jake is Razor, and Chance is T-Bone and one of us had the other two airlifted away from the Enforcers after they crashed their jet. chance
We're screwed!
Particles stream on from top of frame and resolve into the SECOND WOMAN seen in ep 1, standing next to CHANCE. She takes a few moments to get her bearings. callie
Not yet you're not, but if you don't have a better story to tell the Enforcers when they turn up you might well be. I've just come from an extremely unpleasant interview with Commander Feral, who was looking for the two of you. My guess is that they're looking to turn this temporary break in service into a permanent one SECOND WOman
Dara! You're still here?
dara
Not now, she's on a roll
The kat's conversation continues, but fades into the background as we concentrate on the two women. second woman
It has to be now! Do you have any idea how much trouble you're in? dara
I'm not in the mood for ... wait. What are you talking about? second woman
Exactly how long did you think you could stay here without anyone noticing you were gone? Father's looking for you, personally, and I wouldn't care to be there when he finds you dara
I had to make sure there two were alright. After everything we've invested in them ... Second woman
You do realize what he's capable of don't you? You were made to replace the last one who disobeyed him. Are your suspicions worth losing everything that you are? Are these ... She has been making expansive hand gestures, and now connects with the back of CHANCE'S head. He doesn't notice, but she certainly does. second woman
You ... You did it
dara
Yes. Now you see why I have to keep them safe second woman
You need to go and find Father, now. If he catches you here with them ... dara
He could do anything, you're right. Well now that she's here it's not so urgent that I hover over them. Let's go. Both women dissolve and stream off the top of frame. cut to
int. dark room

All the curtains are drawn, and no lights are on, so everything is bathed in shadow. The vague outlines of several pieces of furniture can be seen as the camera travels from one near-black room to another. Eventually the camera centers on a television playing one line from the news report over and over news anchor
(LOOPED)
Many are wondering if the Enforcers are capable of defending the citizenry After a few repitions the TV switches itself off. voice
I shouldn't think so my dear
The camera swings around to reveal a figure shrouded in darkness, only parts of a vague outline can be seen. The figures eyes pulse red as we ... fade to black
