screen story by
Angela Pinilla


based on the declarations of
J. Robert Oppenheimer talking about nuclear bomb





In a dark space all we see is an ant farm, an then eyes open in the dark.
LUCAS:
Equality? ...
Equality is not an easy word to define.
Are we equally intelligent to others?
are we equally valuable?
who is to decide in this world who is more relevant?
who is prepared to make the sacrifice and step up for others?
who else but a brilliant mind?
In a deeper and darker voice.
who else but me?
LUCAS
A few of them may laugh, some may cry. And then I'll hear nothing but silence once I start my divine task.
close up to the ant farm.
For are those who behave as animals, who are unable to stop their most primitive instincts, the ones we have made slaves. Slaves by choice, they surrender their reason and the voice of their conscience to become nothing but a tool .

close grim smile
LUCAS (O.S)
A dispensable tool that I am eager to eradicate.

He starts to  kill the ants until only a few are left

LUCAS
Now I stand in the edge of total destruction. I might have only accelerated the natural course of nature, but for what is worth there is no way back now.

LUCAS
This...
This is a cursed position in which I am standing in. For any man in history, who reaches my greatness is absorbed by it's consequences.
This evil is consuming me now and I can't stop the complex mechanism I have started. who is to stop me, when with all my might and strength is focused on my divine task.

In a deeper and darker voice.

'Now I have become Death, the destroyer of worlds.'

MUM (O.S)

Lucas?!
Mum opens the door and comes in.

Oh dear lord, Lucas! why do you keep closing the curtains?!

LUCAS
Mum?!
MUM
Change your pajamas and go out to play! I need to clean this mess you have for bedroom.

she walks towards the curtains

LUCAS
C'mon mum.

she open the curtains and illuminate the bedroom

MUM
And STOP killing your sister's ants! she needs to bring them to school on Monday.

LUCAS
Lucas lets himself fall in the chair and sights.
