                                                   #1001  EP. 13-14.


50.   EXT. STREET OPPOSITE BARCROFT CHEMICAL COMPANY:  LONG MEDIUM
      This is another location presumably opposite the building.
      Bob's car #3 pulls in and stops.  Bob gets out and looks O.S.
      at building and both cars.  He removes jacket and tie and dons
      hood.  He draws his gun and runs out of scene.

51.   COVER CUT FOR ABOVE ACTION

52.   EXT. BARCROFT CHEMICAL COMPANY:  CLOSE FULL
      On front door as The Copperhead enters scene and pauses at
      door.  He listens and, for a LATER CUT, enters quickly.

53.   INT. BARCROFT CHEMICAL COMPANY:  CLOSE FULL
      On door to presumed other room.  Joan enters scene, glancing
      back at O.S. heavies, and looks through the doorway.  For a
      LATER CUT she upsets some object, causing a noise.  She reacts
      to O.S. approaching heavies and runs out of scene.  Loses gun.

54.   INT. BARCROFT CHEMICAL COMPANY (OFFICE):  MEDIUM CLOSE
      This is the room into which Joan is presumably looking.  Seated
      by a table or desk is Noland, who looks toward CAMERA to react.

55.   INT. BARCROFT CHEMICAL COMPANY:  MEDIUM FULL
      Same angle as Scene 49.  Corey, Greg and Roy turn quickly in
      reaction to the noise caused by Joan and rush toward her.

56.   INT. BARCROFT CHEMICAL COMPANY:  LONG FULL
      Joan eludes Corey, Greg and Roy by running all over the set and
      overturning drums, boxes, etc.  She ducks as one lunges at her,
      and he falls.  She throws bottles on two occasions and at one
      point throws a small barrel at Corey, who ducks, and the barrel
      falls into the acid vat causing the chemical to react
      violently.  During this routine, Roy has fallen somewhere near
      the front door, and Greg in about the middle of the room, while
      Corey and Joan stand each other off in the far corner opposite
      the vat.  (TRACK TO THIS POINT FROM "THE BLACK WIDOW"  EP. 2)

57. )
thru) COVER CUTS FOR ABOVE ACTION
60. )

61.   INT. BARCROFT CHEMICAL COMPANY:  LONG FULL
      The Copperhead, hearing the fight from outside the front door,
      bursts in and looks at action going on at far end of building.
      Roy, who is regaining consciousness near the door, attacks him.
      There is an exchange of four punches and Roy goes down.  Just
      then, Greg has gotten to his feet, sees the O.S. action, and
      dives on The Copperhead.
