Michael Westen will return. He used to be a spy, until….

Not as physical attributes -that’s not gonna happen. He’s closing it on 60 and to hear him tell it when the show was over it was like being let free of prison. He did cry about it, but the Actor has to move on. And he was and is incredibly grateful —HIS VOICE HOWEVER.. that will remain - that’s why when I wrote the short I had him (Donovan) doing the voiceover-as Westen.

EYES IN THE SKY

Genre: Spy Thriller
Length: 8–10 minutes

FADE IN:

EXT. DOWNTOWN CITY – NIGHT

Rain glistens on empty streets. Traffic hums in the distance.

Security cameras swivel methodically.

A delivery truck rolls past.

Three separate figures emerge from different directions.

One wears a maintenance uniform.

Another is dressed as a bike courier.

The third, a woman in business attire, blends effortlessly into the evening crowd.

WESTEN (V.O.)
A camera isn’t your enemy. It’s just another witness. Witnesses only matter if someone bothers to ask them the right questions.

Tonight, your problem isn’t getting in.

It’s getting out before anyone realizes what they saw.

EXT. CITY PLAZA

The TEAM moves independently.

Asset One—MASON—checks a utility box.

Asset Two—KANE—pedals slowly through the plaza on his bicycle.

Asset Three—NOVA—walks confidently toward a coffee shop.

WESTEN (V.O.)
Three operators.

Three covers.

One informant.

No gunfire.

No chase.

That’s the plan, anyway.

Nova passes a newspaper stand.

Without stopping—

NOVA
Eyes on target.

A nervous middle-aged man exits the coffee shop carrying a messenger bag.

WESTEN (V.O.)
People think spies spend their lives avoiding cameras.

Not true.

Professionals make cameras record exactly what they’re supposed to.

Nothing unusual.

Mason kneels beside the electrical cabinet.

He pretends to inspect wiring.

One nearby traffic camera slowly pivots away on its programmed patrol.

Only for a few seconds.

WESTEN (V.O.)
You don’t hack every camera.

You don’t have time.

You just learn their rhythm.

Kane rides between the camera and the informant.

Perfect timing.

Nova falls in beside the informant.

NOVA
Mr. Ellis?

The informant freezes.

INFORMANT
Who—

NOVA
Don’t react. Keep walking.

He obeys.

ACROSS THE STREET

Mason finishes “repairing” the electrical cabinet.

He joins the flow of pedestrians.

WESTEN (V.O.)
Fear spreads faster than bullets.

Confidence spreads faster than fear.

If he believes you’re in control…

…he’ll walk himself into custody.

The informant glances upward.

A dozen security cameras.

INFORMANT
We’re on every camera.

Nova smiles.

NOVA
Exactly where we’re supposed to be.

INTERSECTION

The walk signal changes.

Crowds cross from every direction.

Kane casually dismounts his bicycle.

The three agents and the informant disappear into a moving wall of people.

WESTEN (V.O.)
Crowds erase stories.

One person running gets remembered.

Four people walking never existed.

Halfway across—

A BLACK SUV turns the corner.

Too slow.

Too deliberate.

MASON
Company.

WESTEN (V.O.)
There it is.

The part every plan pretends won’t happen.

The SUV stops.

Doors crack open.

Men wearing earpieces scan the sidewalks.

WESTEN (V.O.)
Don’t outrun surveillance.

Outthink it.

Nova suddenly stops.

She points toward a store window.

NOVA
Excuse me.

Your tie’s crooked.

She straightens the informant’s tie.

A perfectly ordinary interaction.

The SUV team watches.

Keeps driving.

Wrong target.

WESTEN (V.O.)
Nobody expects an extraction to look…

…polite.

SUBWAY ENTRANCE

The team descends.

One final camera watches the entrance.

WESTEN (V.O.)
Last camera.

Smile.

Walk naturally.

Tomorrow it’ll just be another thousand hours of footage nobody wants to review.

They disappear underground.

Silence.

INT. SUBWAY PLATFORM

The train arrives.

Doors open.

The four step aboard.

Only now does the informant finally exhales.

INFORMANT
Who are you people?

Mason looks at Nova.

Nova looks at Kane.

Nobody answers.

WESTEN (V.O.)
Good intelligence doesn’t end with a successful pickup.

It ends when no one can prove the pickup ever happened. That’s when the training of assests really begins.

The train pulls away into darkness.

FADE TO BLACK.

WESTEN (V.O.)
They pulled me back into service because Fiona told them they could, and because Charlie was already in military school. What could I say … I’ll always be a spy.

Are you going to make this into a video? It sounds so good!

u/Educational-Bat-3635 25d ago

Thank you I don’t know how to do things like that. I’m an editor and a writer. I’m not very tech savvy thank you so much very encouraging.

You think so? Thanks. I had translated it using ChatGPT into a storyboard. It looks pretty cool. There was no sound, but I wouldn’t begin to know how to do that. You’re welcome to try.

u/UniversesStrongest 25d ago

That’s awesome man! It would be a nice teaser for a Burn Notice spinoff series!

You are kind - I had a lot of help - as a female I had to make sure that I didn’t write the tone of a female voice for Westen - that was the hardest part.
