May-Day! The terror has only just begun...

MAY DAY

Scene i: May 1, 2011

FADE IN:

EXT. ABBOTABAD COMPOUND – DUSK - ESTABLISHING

Seal Team Six storms the Abbotabad compound of Osama Bin Laden. Two Blackhawk helicopters hover in the background as the 25-person team advances, weapons in hand.

CLOSE UP: CAPTAIN FRANK MALREAR

MALREAR

C’mon, people, move! This sonofabitch has been allowed to live too long, and we’re the ones who are finally gonna end this nightmare! Go! Go! Go!

INT. COMPOUND

The team advances into the compound by breaking through the front door, instantly greeted by machine-gun fire from cloaked, shadowed men. Fire is returned, and the figures crumple slowly to the ground, clearing a path to the stairwell. The team climbs to the third floor.

INT. COMPOUND – THIRD FLOOR

OSAMA BIN-LADEN stands against the center of the back wall of a room that opens from a narrow stairwell. An AK-47 lies on a table across the room. Beat.

CLOSE UP: MALREAR

CLOSE UP: OSAMA

CLOSE UP: AK-47

CLOSE UP: MALREAR

CLOSE UP: OSAMA

INT. ROOM

OSAMA starts for the gun, and MALREAR trains his weapon with expert precision, firing once.

CLOSE-UP – SLO-MO

The bullet hits OSAMA in his right eye as he lunges for the weapon, taking out a section of his forehead, and he falls silently to the ground, his right hand extended and twitching.

CLOSE-UP: TWITCHING HAND

INT. ROOM

Seal Team Six whoops and hollers after they recognize the termination of the target, and they flood the room, standing around their fallen enemy.

MALREAR

An eye for an eye, Bin-Laden. And some of your forehead, too. Mission accomplished, people. Let’s head out.

FADE-OUT

Scene ii: May 2, 2011

EXT. USS LIBERTY – ESTABLISHING

A small ceremony is being held upon the upper-deck of the USS Liberty, far out in an unknown ocean. The sun is setting behind the carrier as a group of soldiers hoist a shrouded OSAMA overboard, his body falling limply into the ocean.

FADE-OUT

Scene iii: May 3, 2011

EXT. UNDERWATER – UNKNOWN OCEAN BOTTOM

A school of mackerel are swimming, when from behind them a shadow slowly emerges. The figure gains definition, and the school begins to flee, when all of a sudden a hand grabs the last straggler, ripping it from the school and pulling it to his mouth. It is the undead OSAMA BIN-LADEN.

CLOSE-UP: ZOMBIE OSAMA

OSAMA bites into the head of the mackerel, suckling at the brains and releasing the writhing corpse into the sea, never stopping his stride as he marches toward his destination. He walks into the screen as the blood trails behind him, fish all around fleeing the newfound threat.

TIME-LAPSE – TRANSITION

The date appears as a stamp in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. ZOMBIE OSAMA keeps walking, steadfast and loping, across the bottom of the ocean. His body decays with time, skin flaking off to expose sinews and muscle beneath, and in a few areas, bone.  The date rolls forward, his progression toward horror almost complete, until it reaches…

Scene iv: May 1, 2012 (May Day)

EXT. NEW YORK HARBOR – EARLY MORNING – ESTABLISHING

The sun is rising from the horizon as ZOMBIE OSAMA emerges, the Statue of Liberty standing in the background. His gait quickens slightly as he continues walking, the sunlight glinting off of his slimy, desiccated form.

EXT. GROUND ZERO – 9:30 A.M.

Tourists stand around the shrine that remains from the 10^th anniversary of 9/11. Contemplative poses are struck by the small crowd, all of whom face the empty void of the Twin Towers.

CLOSE-UP – MAN

A man is taking a picture of the site. Behind him, we see the top of a figure slowly approach. Silently, ZOMBIE OSAMA encroaches, his shadow falling on the man in just enough time for him to spin around and come face-to-melted-face with the vision of terror. He drops his camera and screams as ZOMBIE OSAMA grabs his shoulders with both hands and lunges at his head with an open, glistening maw. His head cracks open like an egg, and is devoured by the creature, as the other tourists run in horror. Brainless and limp, the man drops to the floor.

PAN OUT – EXT. GROUND ZERO

The man lays at the feet of ZOMBIE OSAMA, who stands, renewed and emboldened. The New York skyline is in the background, and we can barely make out a faint smile play across what is left of ZOMBIE OSAMA’s mouth.

CLOSE-UP – ZOMBIE OSAMA

The smile widens, and his eyes stare unblinkingly into the camera.
