Watch the original version of The Saint
The sun was setting over the city of Moscow, casting a dim orange glow over the otherwise dark and oppressive cityscape. Above was a dark and starless night sky. The streets below were alive with people scurrying about, some on their way home from work, some on their way to a night out, and some with something far more sinister in mind.
It was in one of these streets that a young woman moved cautiously through the shadows, her keen eyes taking in her surroundings. She was a scientist by trade, but tonight she was playing a much more dangerous game. Her name was Sasha, and she was on a mission to uncover the truth behind a dangerous secret; a secret that could change the fate of Russia forever.
Sasha had heard rumours of a powerful figure known only as Ivan Tretiak, a billionaire with a lust for power and a desire to become the ruler of a new Russian Empire. What she didn’t realise was just how powerful Ivan was, and what he was capable of. If her rumours were true, then Ivan had a powerful weapon at his disposal; a weapon that could be used to take control of the country.
Sasha had come to the city in search of this weapon and the answers that it might contain. With her was her partner in crime; Simon Templar, a thief for hire. Together the two of them had combed the city for clues, but so far they had come up empty handed. That is, until tonight. This evening, they had stumbled across a lead that seemed too good to be true.
According to their informant, the weapon was hidden in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. Excited by this revelation, Sasha and Simon had set out to investigate the warehouse, and it was there that they had finally discovered the truth. The weapon was indeed real, and it was more powerful than they could have ever imagined.
This weapon, if activated, would give Ivan the power to assume control of Russia and become its undisputed ruler. It was a power too great to be entrusted to one man. Sasha and Simon knew they had to do something to stop Ivan and this weapon from falling into the wrong hands.
And so, it was decided that the two of them would work together to protect the weapon and the secret behind it. They had to act fast, for Ivan was already on the move. It wasn’t going to be easy, but for the sake of their country, Sasha and Simon knew they had to do what was necessary.
The sun had now set and the streets had become quieter. Sasha and Simon made their way through the darkness, shadows their only companions. They knew the mission was dangerous, but together they had the strength to overcome any obstacle.
As they moved further into the night, a feeling of dread began to settle over them. This was a feeling they had experienced before, but never as strong as this. Something was watching them, something powerful, something evil.
It was then that they heard it; the sound of a soft voice whispering in their ears. It was Ivan Tretiak, and he was warning them that they were in grave danger if they continued on their mission.
Sasha and Simon knew that they had to succeed. With the weapon in their possession, they could prevent Ivan from taking over their country. The two of them were determined to protect their secret, and the lives of their people, at all costs.
And so, with a newfound determination, Sasha and Simon continued on their mission. As the night wore on, their resolve only grew stronger. The danger was real, but so was their courage and determination. The mission may be dangerous, but together they could protect the secret and save their country.
Suddenly, out of the darkness, they heard a sound. It was Ivan Tretiak, and he was coming for them. Sasha and Simon knew they had only one chance, and they had to make it count. As the two of them raced through the night, they were not only fighting for their lives, but for the fate of their country.
Time seemed to stand still as the two of them reached the warehouse. They knew this was it; the final showdown. They would either succeed in their mission or their country would fall into the hands of Ivan Tretiak.
With the weapon in hand, Sasha and Simon made their way out of the warehouse. They had been successful in their mission, but it was not yet over. Ivan still wanted the weapon and was determined to get it. It was now up to Sasha and Simon to protect the secret and ensure that Ivan never got his hands on it.
The two of them raced through the night, hoping to reach safety before Ivan and his men could catch them. Suddenly, out of the shadows, a figure emerged. It was Ivan and he was determined to get the weapon.
As the two of them faced off, it became clear that this was the ultimate test of strength. Sasha and Simon were fighting for the fate of their country and it was all or nothing. In the end, it was Sasha and Simon who emerged victoriously, the weapon and the secret safe in their hands.
With the secret safe, Ivan was defeated and the future of Russia was secured. Sasha and Simon had saved their country, but it had come at great cost. As they both looked into each other’s eyes, they realised that something had changed between them. It was in that moment that they realised their feelings for each other ran much deeper than just a mission of duty.
Sasha and Simon had become something more; something special that could never be taken away. There may have been dark times, but now there was light. They had each other, and that was all that mattered. The future might be uncertain, but at least they had each other.
Scene 1 – Ivan’s Office
(Ivan Tretiak is a well-dressed, middle-aged man with an air of authority. He is seated in his office surrounded by high-tech monitors and a luxurious red leather armchair. Enter Anna, a young female scientist with glasses and a lab coat.)
Ivan: Ah, Anna, you’re here! Please, have a seat.
Anna: Thanks. I’m still amazed that you chose me for this project.
Ivan: Your reputation precedes you. I know that you are the best in your field.
Anna: I’m honored.
Ivan: I’m sure you are. Now, let’s get down to business. This project is of utmost importance. We must have complete secrecy, and there will be consequences if you talk to anyone. Do you understand?
Anna: Yes, I understand.
Ivan: Good. Now let’s discuss the details.
(Ivan leans forward in his chair, his face shrouded in shadows.)
Scene 2 – A Dark Alley
(Enter Simon Templar, a former CIA agent who now works as a thief for hire. He is dressed in dark clothes and approaches a shady figure lurking in a dark alley).
Simon: Who sent you?
Figure: Who wants to know?
Simon: Ivan Tretiak.
Figure: You know of Ivan?
Simon: Enough to ask the question.
Figure: He wants something from the scientist, girl. He said something about a secret, something that’ll give him power…
Simon: I see. I think I know what he’s up to.
Figure: Ivan’s ruthless, and he won’t stop at anything.
Simon: Don’t worry. I can take care of it.
Scene 3 – Anna’s Apartment
(We see Simon Templar, now dressed in street clothes, enter Anna’s apartment. Anna is sitting on the sofa, deep in thought. When she hears the door open, she quickly stands up and turns around to see Simon.)
Anna: Who are you?
Simon: My name is Simon Templar. I was sent by Ivan Tretiak.
Anna: How did you know I was here?
Simon: I have my ways.
Anna: What does Ivan want?
Simon: He wants the secret you’ve discovered.
Anna: What secret?
Simon: I think you know.
Anna: I can’t let him have it. It’s too dangerous.
Simon: I’m here to help you. Together, we can protect the secret and make sure that Ivan doesn’t get his hands on it.
