FADE IN INT. SEANS BASEMENT - UNKNOWN 4 MEN are sitting down in leather chairs, respectively. Theres a man theyre facing whos speaking to them. He sounds bold. Confident. He sounds like a straight shooter. The room is dark, except for a little light shining on the boys necks. The man speaks to them. MAN (laughs) Is that right? Is that right. Any ways. You guys probably wonderin what you doin here. That deal I had, out in Vegas, went through. I gotta pick up the money. Ricky, remember I was tellin you about Bull Dog? The first person revealed is RICKY. We cant see his face. RICKY Yeah, I remember that, Sean. So, the man talking is SEAN. SEAN Any ways, guy ended up dead or whatever, directly from the guy youll be getting my money from. Mike, Dustin, Syd? Cant even see you. One raises his hand. MIKE Here. Mikes here. One snaps his fingers. DUSTIN Im present, boss. SEAN Dustin, that you? Yep, Sean. DUSTIN

One just announces it. Im here. SYD

2. SEAN And that is obviously Syd. Any ways, guys I just need you to get the money. The guy your getting it from, Marcus, he-hes a chill guy. RICKY Thats good. SEAN Yes. Dustin, Ricky, Syd I want all yall to go to the back, turn on TV, drink something. Ill be talking to everyone individually, Mike first. Three men leave, they relocate to the back of the room, drinking some cheap booze and watching some baseball. MIKE Hey, hey, hey. Hey, Sean. Hey. SEAN

MIKE So-what happened? SEAN I need you to be the most secretive, just In N Out, like the burgers. MIKE Like the burgers. (quiet) Can you... can you ask the three to leave the room, just for a second? SEAN (louder) What?! MIKE (whispering) Just for a second, I promise. SEAN (louder) Cant hear you, speak up? We see the men at the back of the room give a confusing stare.

3. MIKE (to the boys) Boys, can you just leave, just for a moment. RICKY Tryna watch the fuckin game. MIKE Just for a minute. The three leave the room, almost slamming the door as they exit. SEAN So whatd you want from me? Mike jumps off the couch, he lands on his knees. He holds Seans hands, and begins to beg. MIKE (nervous, begging, crying) Sean... Sean... Please! I cant kill anyone. I cant... I cant go to Vegas if I have to kill. SEAN Relax. I dont think thats what you should be worried about... MIKE (whimpering, mumbling) Please... God... Im sorry... Escaped, he left from me. SEAN (shaking him off) The fuck are you saying Mike? MIKE I dont... (wipes his eye) I dont know. SEAN I just wanted to tell you that youre going to be the silent one, the protection. Oh... Ok. MIKE

SEAN Relax, Shakespeare.

4. MIKE I am-I, I am. I just need to-SEAN You just need to relax. MIKE But, but, but... SEAN (calm) Why do you think people fear committing crime. Murder, Rape, Fraud? MIKE I honestly dont know, boss. SEAN You know what I think? MIKE Wha-what do you think? SEAN I think... The only thing that stops people from killing is the fear of being caught. MIKE (trying to suppress anger) That. That... Wow, that makes sense. SEAN Everyones a fuckin criminal. A scumbag. Everyone from the janitor at Oakvalley up to the CEO of Walmart. Everyone, anyone. But you dont see these people cryin, beggin away. They fight the fear of being caught. And thats what I need you to do. Uh... MIKE

SEAN You get me? MIKE No-no, not really.

5. SEAN What Im saying is that I need you to make sure everything goes as planned in Vegas. I need you to be like everyone else. Stomp on the fear of being caught. Go outside. Theyll ask you what we talked about, say the killing that happened few weeks back. Mike stands up. He walks to the door and opens it. We can get a good view on the boys now, since the other room is lit up. Mike shuts the door. Were now in that room. RICKY What the fuck happened? MIKE (disorientated) What? Nothing. DUSTIN Bullshit. What happened. MIKE I dont wanna do this. I dont want to-Suddenly, we hear a scream from the other room-SEAN (screaming for Dustin) Dustin! Can you come over here? DUSTIN (screaming back) Yeah, yep. (to the boys) To be continued. Dustin opens the door, were back where we just were. SEAN Look, I just want to make this short. Youll be the leader. Itll be like Simon says. Just, just no Coke there. And I know itll be hard but Rick cant drink anything. Itll fuck with him too much. DUSTIN OK. Do the boys need to come in? SEAN No, no, no. They can leave.

6. Dustin turns his back in an effort to leave. But Seans words pull him back. SEAN (CONTD) It all has to go as planned, leave the hotel, go to Marcuss place, get the money and come home. You got that? Yes. DUSTIN

Dustin walks, his hand so close to turning the door knob, but Sean speaks-SEAN (softly) Just you 4. FADE BLACK CREDIT MUSIC STARTS We hear once more SEAN (CONTD) Just you 4. And as Sean says 4, the number 4 appears on the screen. And then, the credits roll. CREDIT SEQUENCE OVER BLACK RICKY (V.O.) You guys... You know what this shit means to Sean. Eh? You know, this is worth, like, easy 5 bucks. And... these guys been known to fuck around. Get the 5 mil from there, come back get our share, easy as that. SYD (V.O.) Whadya mean theyve been known to fuck around. RICKY (V.O.) You know the Bull Dog? SYD (V.O.) Big black guy?

7. RICKY (V.O.) (beat) No. You know him hes that Spanish guy. SYD (V.O.) Spanish guy... Oh that one, yeah. RICKY (V.O.) Apparently, Sean was getting money from some property deal or some shit, with the Bull Dog and Bull Dog and his little puppies, calls em that for some reason, ended up with a bunch of .303s in their face. Two little puppies killed, Bull Dog was put in a wheelchair. SYD (V.O.) (laughing) Big Bullets for a big dog, eh? FADE IN EXT. BEHIND A CONVEINENCE STORE, SUMMER 1994 - DAY We see four men: SYD, RICKY, MIKE AND DUSTIN crowding around in the parking lot of some convenience store. They all are wearing thick suits, and all have .44 Magnums caressed between their pants, and their suit jacket. The only thing surrounding them is a black Ford Taurus. Other than that, its just a bunch of trees getting hit by the blazing Nevada sun. They are four hitmen working for SEAN J, a well-known gangster living in Los Angeles. So do these men. They all originate from Southern California. Dustin pulls out a pack of cigarettes. He pops one out, reaches into his pocket and grabs a lighter. He puts the cigarette into his mouth, covers his mouth with two hands, and when the hands go down, the cigarette is light. He shuts the top of the pack, and is about to put it back in his pocket when-SYD Dustin, pass me one. Me too. MIKE

8. DUSTIN Idiots... (reaches) here you go... (beat) Hey, Ricky, Im guessing you want one? No thanks. RICKY

DUSTIN The fucks matter with you? You-youyouve been staring at the sky this entire conversation... RICKY Im just wondering... SYD What are you wondering, buddy? RICKY Why did Sean ask four of us to go? DUSTIN To be honest I was wondering the same thing... RICKY I mean is he sending us to our own deaths or what? MIKE Itll be fine, brother. RICKY (snotty) How do you know? Get me lottery numbers for next week while youre at it. Jesus... MIKE

RICKY You know how I said that some of the Bull Dogs guys were killed... Yeah. SYD

RICKY I heard that from Sean ... Sean!

9. DUSTIN Wait, youre implying that Sean is sending us to get killed? RICKY Im making an assumption. DUSTIN If hes that draconian then why not do it himself? Why would he kill his top guys, huh? RICKY People do some fucked up shit. Dustin whips the cigarette out of his mouth. DUSTIN Yeah, crazy people do some fucked up shit! Is Sean crazy? That what youre saying? RICKY No, no, no. MIKE Yeah, you are. SYD Fucking shits about to go down. DUSTIN No it isnt I'm calm. Im chill. SYD Mike, lets get some chocolate, they got some good fucking chocolate here. Mike runs to Syd. They walk to the convenience store. SYD (CONTD) They got some Mars bar, some KitKat... You like Kit-Kat? You like 2 for 1, Mikey-boy? MIKE Yes, I do, but stop being so euphemistic, Syd. SYD (conversation slowly fading) (MORE)

10. SYD (CONT'D) I aint but these dudes about to blow each others fuckin heads off! Their conversation cuts off. Dustin looks back at Ricky. RICKY Look, Im not gettin mad at you or nothing, Im just saying, what if thats a possibility. DUSTIN Its not. Its his cash... RICKY Yeah, but look-DUSTIN Look nothing, if thats what you truly think, thats what you think. RICKY --maybe he told these guys to kill one of us, or two of us who have done Sean wrong. DUSTIN Rick. Whats the time? RICKY (checks watch) Uh... 3:16... DUSTIN Yeah, OK, lets get out of here. INTERCUT: EXT. LAS VEGAS HIGHWAY - DAY The four boys, Dustin, Ricky, Syd and Mike all sit in the car. Dustins driving, Rickys sitting in the passengers seat, Syds sitting on the right and Mike on the left, Mike eating his chocolate bar. DUSTIN Whats the time? RICKY (beat, checks) 4:04. DUSTIN 4:04. Lets go.

11. Everybody gets out of the car. We follow the four men walking side-by-side conversing. DUSTIN (CONTD) Were gonna be smooth. Were gonna be quick. Fast, whatever fucking adjective is to your liking... just be good. They turn the corner. RICKY What time you say, well be outta here? DUSTIN 5, 10 minutes if we do this correctly. If we dont some of youll spend the rest of your life here. SYD The fuck you mean? DUSTIN Die. I mean die. SYD God damn, this is where Bull Dog and his guys died, ay? I feel bad, he was always a nice guy. DUSTIN Dont be so pathos, guy was an asshole. Screwed over the wrong dudes. True. RICKY

DUSTIN (points) Yellow door, boys. They walk about 2 feet from the Yellow door. But Ricky stops. He snaps-RICKY Wait, wait, wait. Everybody have their shit, their guns, ammo? DUSTIN (sarcastically) No, lets go.

12. RICKY Just, wait. Ricky is very disorientated and from the looks is very nervous. DUSTIN Look, man, I know your nervous, just hang in there, chill be cool like a mofo. SYD Never thought Id here you say that. MIKE (laughs) mean either. DUSTIN Shut up, you two dumbasses. (to Ricky) Itll be fine. Sean isnt setting us up. Rick, were good. If anybody does anything stupid well unload onto em, okay? RICKY Oh.. okay. Lets do this. Dustin, this why youre our leader, man. I love you Dust. MIKE Really Ricky? An hour ago you were about to kick his fucking head in.. RICKY (to Mike) Yeah but its all clear, and to tell you the truth I was a little paranoid. SYD Lets stop sucking each others dicks and follow the yellow brick door. Huh... Huh... You like that one Dustin, huh, dont you? I know you do. DUSTIN Syd, shut the fuck up! What time you got? RICKY I got 4:14.

13. DUSTIN Yeah, lets go. With that, Dustin knocks on the door. 10 seconds later a BLACK MAN opens the door. He is about 67 taller than the four guys. He stares at them, scanning their face. He then breaks the silence with-SECURITY You guys working with Sean, right? DUSTIN Yes, we are. SECURITY I love Sean, hes the greatest! Come right in, MARCUS is waiting for you. INT. MARCUSS HIDEOUT - AFTERNOON The four men enter the building. Its dark, but we can make out a few desks, some computers, a telephone, a motivational poster. Its obvious that the place they are in is an office, or at least was one. Then, MARCUS stands up. Hes tall, black, and like the last guy we saw, intimidating. He extends his arms in the air and yells out-MARCUS Dustin, Ricky, Syd and whatever the fuck yo name is!! Get your ass over here now and give me some! The boys walk over to Marcus, and as the lighting starts to get better, we see an increase in people in the room. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 5 other guys, some white, some black fill the room. They all have their hands to their sides, staring, like its uniform. Syd goes up to Marcus, gives him a hug and a pat on the back. Dustin and Ricky do the same, and so does Mike, but Marcus stops in the middle of their greeting. MARCUS (CONTD) Whats your name, boy? MIKE M-m-m... Mike, or Michael or Mikey, whatever you want. MARCUS Mikey, I like that, Mikey. Marcus lets Mike go. He stands with the three others.

14. MARCUS (CONTD) Take a seat, take a seat. The four guys sit on a couch oppoiste to Sean. SYD Feel like Im getting my taxes done, or some shit. What the hell is this place? MARCUS It was an office but we got it now. SYD Youre like a pirate. MARCUS Good way of putting it. Fellas, fellas, you want a drink? DUSTIN Im good, so are Ricky, Syd and... Mikey. MARCUS God, thats a classic name, Mikey. DUSTIN Yeah, now that we got that done, do you have the... MARCUS Money? Yes I do. But lets just wait a second. Marcus sits down in the chair behind him. MARCUS (CONTD) So hows your day going boys, how you liking the Strip? DUSTIN Its good, its good, its great actually. MARCUS Where you stayin? DUSTIN The Paddlewheel. MARCUS Classy ass shit, gentleman. You guys know about anything Greek?

15. RICKY Nope, no, how about you? MARCUS Well, actually a lot. ARES GOD of War-MIKE Yes, I knew that. MARCUS --ARES GOD of war. I think of myself quite like him, you know why? Why? SYD

MARCUS That was a rhetorical question. Can all yall shut the fuck up for 5 seconds? I think of myself like him because, well let me tell you this Greek myth. There were these two giants called the ALODAI. They were gonna storm the home of the gods by stacking three greek mountains on top of each other. So, Ares, who I compared myself to, tried to stop them. But he couldnt. He was imprisoned for a year and a month, 13 months if you niggas cant count. He was put in a glass jar. Then, Hermes came to Ares and rescued him. Im Ares. Stuck in a little jar. I think of your boss, Sean, like the two giants, who put me here. You put me in this situation, and I cant get out, nothing I can do. You guys, are like the glass jar. You keep me here, even, if I wanted to get out. Sean, the giants, arent always looking at me, keeping me here. You guys are enforcing it. Get the drift? Feel the feel? Talk the talk? OK. Ricky leans toward Dustin, and whispers to him-RICKY 6 guys in total, counting Marcus. He leans out and puts his retinas back on Marcus.

16. MARCUS Dustin. You come here. Dustin stands up and walks on over to Marcus. MARCUS (CONTD) You... are known to be a warrior. What do you make of this myth? DUSTIN Well, Marcus, to be honest with you I forget the story. MARCUS Jesus! You got dementia or some shit. DUSTIN No, Im just an old man. MARCUS How old are you Dustin? I am 54. DUSTIN

MARCUS Jesus! Thought you were 35 or something! DUSTIN Oh, well thank you. MARCUS Dont sweat it, brother. OK. DUSTIN

MARCUS So, Dustin. Youre known as a fighter. I am? DUSTIN

MARCUS Yes, grandpa, you are. I just want to test that-Marcus pulls out a gun. The three others on the couch stand up and pull out their guns. Then, Marcuss men pull out guns. Some rifles and some handguns.

17. DUSTIN (screams) Guys chill the fuck out! MARCUS Yes fellas! Relax! I was just tryna see something. Everyone lower your guns, except you, GUS. A guy named GUS keeps his gun raised, while everyone else lowers theirs. MARCUS (CONTD) (points to the boys) So, that means that you fellows better lower your guns. Except you Ricky. I just wanted to see how a fuckin ninja would react to one of these big boys. So what would... Wait a second. Why the fuck do you guys have guns! You... god damn it why does this always happen! OK, Gus, Ricky lower your weapons, and you Dustin get back there. Now obviously we got a little problem, we both came to see the other dead, now did we? DUSTIN It was just for protection-Bullshit. MARCUS

RICKY It was, were sorry. You would to if you were coming to us. MARCUS Probably. Im sorry. How was ya fellas day? Good. Great. Good. Good. GUS RICKY SYD MIKE

18. DUSTIN

Good.

MARCUS Whatd you fellas do? DUSTIN We woke up from the hotel, went to some convenience store and talked a bit there, killed a little time. SYD Then, we drove here. MARCUS Cool! Cool, cool, cool, cool cats! RICKY Cool-fuckin-cats. MARCUS Cool cats... I got up and drove here, with Gus. Weve been here since... what, 11? What do you say Gus? GUS 11, round there. MARCUS Gus says 11. RICKY We heard... Marcus raises his firearm and shoots the ceiling. The guys all look confused. MIKE Why... why would you do that? MARCUS Im kind of tired, kind of bored. Little bit bored. That sure woke me up! RICKY You are one weird, weird guy. Yes. MARCUS

19. RICKY Either that or youre methed the fuck out. MARCUS The latter. RICKY Makes sense. MARCUS Yes, Ricky. Hows Sean doing? RICKY Are you asking me? MARCUS All of you. RICKY I think hes doing good. DUSTIN Yeah, doing great. He-Good. MARCUS MIKE

MARCUS --excited to do this deal? DUSTIN I think so, what is it anyway? Some property deal? MARCUS No, no, no. He... Gus should I tell him? NO! DONT. GUS

MARCUS I feel like it. Theres this thing were planning-RICKY A conspiracy?

20. MARCUS Theres this thing were planning and we require a certain amount of fire arms, and Sean has just what we need. RICKY How are you getting the guns? MARCUS Dont worry about that. DUSTIN OK. We heard your master plan. Can we just get the fucking money!? MARCUS Sure. Gus, go over to the back room, get the case. OK. GUS

MARCUS Youre a great guy Gus, youre a great guy. GUS Thanks boss. SYD Thank you Dustin. There is an uncomfortable silence for about 15 seconds. Then, Gus returns and hands Marcus the briefcase. Marcus opens it, takes the cash out, counts it and puts it back in. 5 million. Thank you. MARCUS DUSTIN

MARCUS Come here, all yall. The four walk up to Marcus and give him hugs. He hands over the briefcase to Dustin and they leave. EXT. ALLEY WAY - DAY Syd, Mike, Dustin and Ricky all walk side by side.

21. RICKY That guy was a 100% lunatic. When he pulled out that gun I thought you were finished. Me too. DUSTIN

SYD Also, fuck Gus. Fuck Gus. DUSTIN

We see the door open and THREE MEN hold sub-machine guns in their hand. They fire. The bullets hit Mike first and he drops the ground. Dustin tries to go get him, but a bullet enters his leg. Hes not dead, but he cant walk straight. Then, Mike is hit again. If he wasnt dead before he is now. The three others run toward the car as fast as they can, Dustin still limping. The shooters stop shooting. Syd trips from running too fast but quickly gets up. Ricky walks away untouched. They turn the corner. Theyre safe. SYD (screams) JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! DUSTIN (heavy breathing) vebeen fucking shot! Mikes dead! RICKY I fucking told you!! Get in the car before they kill us! The three enter the car sitting in the same positions as before. Dustin clutches his leg. They speed off. DUSTIN God fucking damnit! Jesus!! RICKY

DUSTIN It wasnt a set up Im telling you! RICKY I dont know but... DUSTIN But what!! Nows not the time to be fucking thinking of conspiracies. Mikeys dead. (MORE)

22. DUSTIN (CONT'D) A good, young, kid is dead. He has a fiancee. And (Screams) my fucking ankle! Dustin reaches down. The car wheel slips and the car crashes into a tree. The boys Ford spins out of control and lands on its top. It smokes. ALL FUCK!/GOD DAMN IT!/MOTHERFUCKER! The boys crawl out of the car, all unharmed but pretty bruised up. RICKY Cant even see straight! SYD Hello!? Hello? I cant hear! We see Dustin signaling for them to come with him. Dustin still has the briefcase in hand. The three run past pedestrians, and zip by plazas. They finally stop, gasping for breath. Dustin drops to the ground of a supermarket parking lot. The sun is about to set but its still blazing and the color of the bricks that hold up the store fit perfectly in with the suns rays. Ricky and Syd crowd him-SYD (CONTD) You OK man? I...I... Shit! DUSTIN SYD

DUSTIN Im... Good. RICKY Jesus you scared me. The fuck are we going to do? DUSTIN You got any money on you? Yes. RICKY

DUSTIN Run into that grocery store. Buy polysporin, some tissues and water.

23. We see a big sign that says,ALS MARKET. From the perspective of Dustin, we see Ricky run as fast as he possibly can into the market. INT. SUPERMARKET - EVENING Ricky runs into the market. He passes by people cleaning the floor, and others shopping. He looks at the aisle signs. Aisle 4 says MEDICINES'. He runs there. EXT. SUPERMARKET PARKING LOT - EVENING Dustin is still lying there. Syd is hunched over on his knees trying to make Dustin smile. DUSTIN My fucking ankle hurts! SYD ...cause 7,8,9! INT. SUPERMARKET - EVENING Ricky is in aisle 4. He scans every row of the aisle and pulls out some tissues. Then he runs down to the other side and scans again. He finds nothing. He runs left, and finally picks up polysporin. The camera stays put as Ricky runs to the fridge located at the northern most part of the market. He grabs a bottle of water and runs back to us. Suddenly he hears a gun shot-BANG. Two ROBBERS, both wearing ski masks, one holding a handgun and the other a knife. They point the gun at the cashier, an OLD LADY with her hands up. ROBBER (screaming at shoppers) Dont fucking move! Then, Ricky backs up slowly. He reaches for his gun and gets lower to the ground. Then he aims at one of the robbers. He shoots him in the arm. The robber drops his gun to the ground, yells out a-FUCK! ROBBER (CONTD)

--and runs out of the store, his friend following him. Some people shopping applaud Ricky, some are crying, some dont show emotion and others leave the store in panic.

24. EXT. SUPERMARKET PARKING LOT - EVENING Dustins still lying there. Syd still trying to keep him calm. We see the two robbers run past Dustin. DUSTIN Mike was a kid... Ricky was right! SYD Dont be so remorseful! You aint god... you cant control that type of shit. Then, Ricky runs out of the supermarket. We can see hes sweating from running that fast. He gets on his knees and Dustin tells him what to do. DUSTIN Ricky... Reach in my pocket, grab the swiss knife. Ricky does as Dustin commands. SYD Oh, thats... fucking... Dont tell me... DUSTIN Now... stick it in my ankle, remove the bullet, put some polysporin on it. Wipe... it all up with the tissues ok? Im going to scream! Ricky looks hesitant. RICKY I just stick it right in there, reach down and pop it out. God damn it I have to tell you the weirdest fucking thing thats ever happened to me. SYD What is it? Do it. DUSTIN

Ricky gets a bunch of tissues out. He opens the package of polysporin and drips a little on the bullet. He cleans up the blood with the tissue.

25. DUSTIN (CONTD) Pour some water on my head, then on the wound... Im gonna drink like a camel. Ready? Ricky pours the water on Dustins head, soaking him. He then pours the water on the newly absorbed blood. SLS: He digs the knife into the wound and pops the bullet out. DUSTIN (CONTD) (screaming and heavily breathing) AHHHHHHHHH! Back onto them. The bullet is out and his leg is now gushing blood. Ricky drops some polysporing on to the wound and puts tissue over it. DUSTIN (CONTD) (Screaming) Water!! Water.. Face. Ricky pours the water onto Dustins head. Dustin rubs his leg. DUSTIN (CONTD) Im going to pass out. Dont worry. Im not dead I just know... Its... pain. SYD Ricky, what happened? FADE TO BLACK FADE IN Dustin is in a car. From his perspective we awake and see the road ahead. Syd is sitting in the passengers seat and Ricky is driving. Dustin is lying down across the back seats. H...Hello? DUSTIN

Ricky and Syd turn back staring at him in joy. Dustin! BOTH

RICKY Thank the fucking lord! SYD Saved our asses. Are you feeling better?

26. DUSTIN Way better. How are we driving I thought the car was totaled? SYD We still have our guns! DUSTIN Oh. Wheres the fucking case! Syd reaches down. He hands the briefcase over to Dustin. SYD Here you go! DUSTIN Yes, yes, yes. Have you called... roll down the window. OK. RICKY

Dustin reaches his head out of the window. He pukes. DUSTIN R-roll it up. Im good. You good? Yes. RICKY DUSTIN

Dustin wipes something from his face. DUSTIN (CONTD) Did you call Sean? Where are we heading? RICKY Yes, hes really upset. Hes good though. Liked Mikey. Were heading home. DUSTIN Whats the time? RICKY Its around 8:30, well be home at, like, 9. DUSTIN Ok. Can I go to back to sleep?

27. RICKY Yes, buddy. Dustin falls asleep. Syd turns on the radio. Black Magic Woman by Santana plays. CUT TO: INT. CAR - NIGHT Its about 9:30. Syd and Ricky are crowding Dustin, making him wake up. He gets up. RICKY Yo, get up. Were getting dinner, want some? DUSTIN Yeah... yeah, please. Lets go. RICKY

Dustin cranks his eyes. He stands up, gets out of the car and walks with Ricky and Syd to an old cheap diner. INT. DINER - NIGHT Not a lot of people are here. Its them three and an hippy couple. Theres a surplus in staff so a few of waiters and waitresses sit at the bar. Dustin, Ricky all sit in the red leather booths, holding the paper their hand. Dustin takes out a smoke. DUSTIN You guys want one? RICKY No. No thank you. Sure. SYD old the and Syd menus in

Dustin slams one on the table. He puts his in his mouth and lights it. Then, he slides the lighter across the table to Syd. After Syd successfully lights his he slides it back. SYD (CONTD) Thanks, sir.

28. DUSTIN You think-you... You really think Sean set it up? Honestly? Yeah. SYD DUSTIN

SYD I think honestly, that theres a possibility. But, I dont see why he would, though. Its really weird. DUSTIN God damn it. SYD Why would they want us dead? Like, what did we do? DUSTIN (beat) Thats what I was thinking. It doesnt make sense. Then, a naive WAITRESS arrives at their table. TABLE Gdevening. You guys want any coffee or anything? DUSTIN Three shots of whiskey? SYD Thatd be cool. Can I also have a club sandwich? Yes, sure. WAITRESS

RICKY And can I have a BLT please? WAITRESS Yes, I'll be right back with your stuff. The waitress leaves which means that the boys can continue their conversation.

29. RICKY This has been such a fucked up day. Fuckin-a! DUSTIN

RICKY I had this... preconceived notion that he set us up. On the phone he was nice and everything, but I think he was expecting us dead. SYD If this is all true, then the fuck do we do with the briefcase? Something doesnt add up. DUSTIN Something doesnt add up, thats the problem. RICKY I had this sudden epiphany a few hours ago, driving back. DUSTIN (beat) What was it? RICKY Remember Peter Ao, Asian guy? Yes. BOTH

RICKY Him and Sean did some fishy ass business a few months ago... maybe it has something to do with that? Then, the waitress arrives, which means to promptly change the subject. She puts down a circular tray. She hands out the three shots to the boys. WAITRESS Enjoy. Your food will be ready and minute. DUSTIN Thank you, Maam. The waitress leaves.

30. DUSTIN (CONTD) To this fucked up, batshit, debacle, day. They clink glasses and we-FADE TO BLACK: FADE IN INT. MIKES HOUSE - NIGHT Were at the now deceased, Mikes house. Dustin, Syd, Ricky and Mike are all sitting around with a pile of cards in their hands and some poker chips in front of them. Mike flips five cards from the middle of the table, they are an Ace, a King, a Queen, a Jack, and a 10. Mike stands up, and with his hands in the air he screams-MIKE ROYAL FLUSH! Yes, yes, yes. He puts his hands out and collects a ton of chips. Then, the date appears, it reads: April 4th, 1994. 2 weeks before Mike died. DUSTIN Fuck it, Im done. You win Mike. MIKE Anybody else out? Me. RICKY

SYD Yeah, me too. MIKE (laughing) OK... queers. RICKY Who you calling a queer? Huh!! They all joke. Ricky pours a bottle of Vodka into four shot glasses. He gives one to Mike, one to himself, one to Syd and one to Dustin. RICKY (CONTD) To one fun night!

31. They clink glasses and take down the bitter Vodka. We now can see the entire room. The four boys sit on black fold up chairs. Beside them is a fridge, and a couch right behind the poker table. SYD What do you think Sean wants to talk to us about? RICKY I think he has some deal in San Fran or something. MIKE Really? Shit, Mary didnt want me to leave this month. RICKY Dont worry, kid. Its not 100%. Even if it was we wouldnt leave for a couple of months at least. True. MIKE

DUSTIN (beat) How many people do you think youve killed in your life? MIKE Me? Like 1 or 2. SYD Well youre new. Yeah. MIKE

SYD Whyd you get into this business? I mean you look like a kid whod be aa dental hygienist. MIKE My uncle worked with Sean and when I was out on my ass he gave him call. SYD Just like that?

32. MIKE Just like that. I mean, what? Whats so hard? Shoot a guy in the face. SYD Yeah, but I had to-- never mind. What did you do before you worked for Sean? MIKE I... Id rather not say. DUSTIN Cmon, kid, whatd you do. MIKE I, uh, I. No forget it. DUSTIN No. Say it. We all are good friends, we dont say shit to other people. MIKE Its not that Im worried about, what if you guys have a different impression on me? DUSTIN (laughs) If its that bad, dont say it, but please say it. SYD (beat) OK, never mind, Ricky, what about you? RICKY Id say, me, about 42. DUSTIN I think in the high 90s. SYD Jesus. Why do you think youve killed so little, Mike? MIKE I dont really like killing, it fucks with me, ya know?

33. SYD

True.

MIKE Job was a porn star. Everyone laughingly screams. ALL (jokingly) Woah!!! Mike returns a laugh. DUSTIN Please dont tell me, like, guy on guy. No. No! MIKE

DUSTIN (laughs) Good. Thats good. Mike stands up. He turns and opens up his fridge. He pulls out four beers. Mike puts them on the table and slides them to all the guests. He reaches on the top of the fridge and gets a beer can opener. He opens his and passes it around. Everyone clicks open their beer as they speak. DUSTIN (CONTD) Who do you think has the biggest change of dying? I think me and Mike have the lowest. Then Ricky so... Syd, sorry buddy. SYD To be honest, I agree. MIKE Why do I have such a low chance? RICKY Theres something about you. You dont have the hero factor. Thats not a bad thing though. MIKE True, true. DUSTIN Have you guys spoken to Sean lately?

34. MIKE Hes in Atlanta, I called him a week ago, says hes fine. DUSTIN (beat) Hows the fiancee? When are you getting married? MIKE Shes great, I proposed a few weeks ago, so we havent really planned anything, but Dust, youll know the second the invites are out. DUSTIN Thats a good thing, kid. You guys want kids? MIKE I do, I think she does. SYD Little Mikes will be funny. MIKE Little Syds will be fucked in the head. They all laugh. DUSTIN (beat) Do you guys even like Sean? SYD Yeah, of course. Yes. Mhm. Be honest. MIKE RICKY DUSTIN

MIKE Well, without the guy Id be on the streets beggin for a fuckin nickel. So I owe him something.

35. DUSTIN Yes, but th-that doesnt answer the question. I.. I knew it. MIKE DUSTIN

MIKE No, its not that I dont like him its just that... DUSTIN Dont fucking worry. Im not going to blast it to the world. MIKE The guys my boss. SYD Youre putting that weirdly. Even though he is your boss, its different. Not like your working in an office. Youre a hitman. You kill people for a living! MIKE You are right. DUSTIN Why dont you like him? MIKE Theres something off about him. One day he loves me and the other it feels like hes gonna stab me through the heart with a pencil! You know? DUSTIN Thats weird, I thought the same thing, hes like-hes like bipolar. MIKE Yeah. Do you like him? DUSTIN No. Not at all. Guy has no respect for the people who work their fucking ass everyday for him.

36. RICKY

Yeah.

DUSTIN Ive done so much for him, and he doesnt even know me personally, fucking asshole. RICKY That was on the tip of my tongue. Ive never been able to quite identify just why I dont like him but I think I found it. Good way of putting it, man. DUSTIN Ill be right back, I just gotta go to the washroom. Mike, where is that? MIKE (points) right there. Second door. Dustin stands up. Thank you. DUSTIN

Dustin walks to where he was pointed. We follow him. When he enters the bathroom he locks the door. He reaches into his pocket, and takes out a bag of cocaine. He puts on the granite sink. Then he reaches into his wallet, take out a $5, rolls it up and snorts the cocaine. ECU Of snorting. Right after he rubs his nose. He puts the reminisce in the plastic bag and puts it in his pocket. He flushes the toilet to make the others think he used the toilet. Then, he unlocks the door, opens it and exits. Following Dustin, once more, he returns to the table. He sits down, rubs his noes and joins in on the conversation. RICKY ...I just dont get how he can be such an asshole to anyone and everyone. DUSTIN Even his business partners. RICKY Yeah. Syd, you?

37. SYD The guy helped me when I was at my lowest, but I just feel like he treats me way worse than he treats you guys. I dont know if its because Im black, which makes no sense because he is to, but... RICKY Ive noticed that. Me too. DUSTIN

MIKE I havent. What does he do? SYD Hed offer you guys some coffee and just pretend Im not there. Blatantly. MIKE Oh, fuck him man. Fuck him. What else? SYD MIKE

SYD member a few weeks ago when he got you guys new suits or whatever? You see me wearing a new suit? MIKE Oh, that asshole. SYD Didnt get me one. MIKE I wouldnt have taken it if I were to known he didnt get you one! SYD Dont worry, dont worry. MIKE You are right fuck him.

38. DUSTIN (beat) So what else is happening in your lives? MIKE Nothing new. SYD The wife and kids are great. You? DUSTIN The ladys amazing, Ricky hows your boy doing? RICKY Hes great, but I have that... the drinking problem. Its not good for him. DUSTIN Man. I am sorry. RICKY Yeah, yeah. What time is it? 12:03. Shit. Ricky stands up. RICKY (CONTD) Im sorry guys, I gotta get home, I told the baby sitter Id be back 10 minutes ago. SYD Yeah I better get going to, the ladys waiting. MIKE Oh, shit. I was havin fun, shit talking him. Boys this doesnt leave this room... right? Ricky gives a high-five to Mike and pulls in. He does the same to Syd. Then he shakes hands with Dustin. Syd does the exact same thing, and also gives a handshake to Dustin. MIKE (CONTD) Well, Ill see you guys! DUSTIN RICKY

39. RICKY See you soon, buddy. Ricky and Syd run up the stairs, we can hear from above some talking to Mikes fiancee. RIKY Mary, how are you? But the conversation cuts off. Dustin, still with a cigarette in his hand, stares blatantly at Mike. DUSTIN Mike. Youre just a kid. What are you gonna do with yourself? MIKE (beat) W-w-what do you mean? DUSTIN I mean after all this shit. I mean after the killing, the drugs, the booze. Youll see. As you periodically get older youll see. Youre gonna run into a shit ton of problems. MIKE Hey, hey dont scare me. I like this life. DUSTIN (aggressive) Yeah, but you arent getting what Im saying. I only hope for the best for you, and honestly, kid, I want you to figure out a plan B. MIKE Thank you Dust, but Im fine. DUSTIN Youre what... how old? 36. MIKE

DUSTIN 52. I think I know a little bit more than you about this shit. MIKE Yeah, yeah, youre right.

40. DUSTIN Mary depends on you. Youre gonna have kids. Its all gonna change. MIKE (laughs) If it all changes Ill fucking wipe dishes at a diner, or Ill go back to showing the world my sex ablities.. Dustin stands up. DUSTIN Brother, I care about you. MIKE ...And I thank you for that. DUSTIN Ill see you soon. Oh, Sean asked for you to call him tonight. Will do. MIKE

Mike hunches over the table. Dustin walks by, pats him on the back. DUSTIN Call him soon. Night. MIKE

Dustin walks up the stairs. Mike reaches into his pocket and pulls out a big, bulky cell phone. He slides the antenna out and flips the phone open. He punches in a few numbers and holds the phone to his ears. It rings for about 10 seconds and then Sean picks it up. Mike? Yep. SEAN (O.S.) MIKE

SEAN (O.S.) Hows it going? MIKE Im great, Im great, how about yourself?

41. SEAN (O.S.) Thats good. Listen I need you to do something. MIKE (nervously) What, what is it? SEAN (O.S.) You know that guy Andrez? Lives out in Inglewood. MIKE (nervously) Ah-yeah, yeah.

We can confirm that by the digital clock sitting next to Mike. Mike is up, but to right his wife sleeps. Hes sweating. Its apparent he cant sleep. He breathes heavily. Then, his fiancee, MARY, awakens. MARY (slowly, quietly) Holy-Holy shit you sound like you just ran a marathon. What happened? Bad dream. MIKE

MIKES CAR - MORNING We finally arrived. Mike is visibly shaking, and extremely nervous. He takes the gun and sticks it in his waistband. He exits the vehicle and locks it. EXT. OUTSIDE ANDREZS APARTMENT - MORNING Mike walks up the stairs of ANDREZS apartment. He opens the glass door to enter. INT. ANDREZS APARTMENT - MOMENTS LATER He walks into the cheap apartment. A red rug runs through it and granite marble plasters the wall. There are desks, that are wood and gold. Everything just looks cheap. Mike walks up to the elevator and hits the up button. He waits for about 15 seconds and the elevator arrives.

45. He enters into the elevator and hits the number 5. An OLD LADY also is in the elevator. She wears glasses and a blue dress. OLD LADY Are you visiting a relative? MIKE No, no, no. Just an old friend. OLD LADY That is very nice. MIKE Yes. You live here? Mhm. OLD LADY

We hear a DING. The elevator has arrived. OLD LADY (CONTD) Well, good bye now. MIKE (nervously) G...Goodbye. He exits the elevator. INT. ANDREZS APARTMENT FLOOR. Mike walks to his right, hes breathing really heavily, and things are getting intense. His cheeks become red. He turns a few more corners and finally arrives. MIKE 524, 524, 524. Oh, 524. Then, just as Mikes about to enter, his phone rings. He takes it out of his pocket, flips up the antenna, and speaks. Hello? MIKE (CONTD)

INT. ANDREZS APARTMENT - DAY His apartment is very small. A kitchen is behind everything and you meet a television room when you walk in. A small television set is there. A bong sits on the eating table. Mike sits down at the table were the bong is.

EXT. SIDE EXIT OF APARTMENT - AFTERNOON Were now at the side exit of Andrezs apartment. There are dumpsters and trash lying around. Suddenly, the side door kicks open. Its Andrez and right behind him, Mike. MIKE Sit on the floor. Andrez sits on the hard concrete ground.

51. MIKE (CONTD) Here. Talk to Sean. Mike takes out his cellphone, opens the antenna, flips the phone, dials some numbers and throws the phone at Andrez, hard. Ow, god. ANDREZ

He holds the phone to his ear. ...Hello? ANDREZ (CONTD)

Andrez falls back onto the floor. His nose and mouth are bleeding and a tooth fell out. Andrez gets right back up. ANDREZ (CONTD) Thank you! You are a god. Andrez clutches Mikes leg. MIKE Im not. Get off. Andrez speaks in Spanish, there arent any subtitles but he says-ANDREZ Gracias! Eres un ngel, un Dios, un Salvador. MIKE No hablar nunca de esto. Mike looks the other way and starts walking, but Andrez wants to thank him some more. ANDREZ You dont understand, sir! Youll live a long life! Youll be happy for the rest of your life! MIKE I really hope so. ANDREZ Wait- I never got your name. But Andrez doesnt respond, sort of an anonymous hero. With that, our first story ends. Mike walks with his back towards us.

54. EXT. CAKE SHOP - DAY 2 days later hits the screen. Were at a cake shop. We see Mike and his fiancee, Mary looking at cakes, admiring one, but then finding a flaw in it. Mary is staring at one with Mike when suddenly Mike sees someone familiar. Its Andrez. Andrez, in shock and stands still. Mike tries to find away to get private with him. MIKE Oh, hunny, Im just going to look at some more cakes, can you help me Andrez? ANDREZ (in complete awe) Y-Sure. Andrez walks over to Mike and they walk to the corner of the store. Mike then pulls out a gun. Andrez breathes heavily. MIKE (furious) You fuckin told me youd be outta here! ANDREZ I know, I know I just had to pack up everything, please dont shoot. Asshole. MIKE

It just so happens that the bathroom is in the corner where Mike is. He drags Andrezs body into the bathroom, puts his gun into his pocket and returns to his bride-to-be.

68. DUSTIN (beat) Oh... Why the fuck would you murder Seans guy? SYD I cant go back. I wont. DUSTIN Why, though? SYD I cant keep living a lie. DUSTIN Dont be so melodramatic... You were always the jokster, how? SYD Im not going to blatantly be depressed. DUSTIN Make everyone think your happy, right? The waitress arrives at the table. Hello sir! WAITRESS#2

DUSTIN Hello, can I get eggs and steak? WAITRESS#2 Sure, how would you like the steak? DUSTIN Rare. Very rare. OK. WAITRESS#2

DUSTIN Eggs, scrambled. WAITRESS Ill be back with your meal soon. SYD What has Sean said about me? DUSTIN That hes going to kill you.

Wait, you still have the coke problem? DUSTIN Meh, its getting better. SYD Imagine you were stuck trying to resist it. Imagine all you could think of is cocaine. DUSTIN (shuts eyes) OK. Now what? SYD Dont be such a smart ass. DUSTIN (opens eyes) Im not. SYD If youre going to kill me just do it somewhere private, dont want these little fucking kids to see it. DUSTIN Syd, Syd, Syd.

71. SYD Meet me in the lobby in 20 minutes, OK? DUSTIN Ill know if you leave the hotel, you know that right? I know. OK. SYD DUSTIN

INT. LUXOR HOTEL LOBBY - AFTERNOON The words Half an hour later come across the screen. Dustin is standing in the lobby, looking confused. He finally goes up to a MAN IN A BLACK VEST. DUSTIN Yo! Yo, you know where Syd is. He told me to me hed meet me in the lobby? No. MAN IN BLACK VEST

DUSTIN Motherfucker. Dustin exits the hotel. He flips up his phone and puts it to his ear. Then he looks up. He hangs up the phone and puts it in his pocket. DUSTIN (CONTD) (slowly) Motherfucker. We then see Syd. The glass of the pyramid hotel is broken and Syd is half off of the building. People from the crowd scream, some laugh, some cheer. Dustin screams-DUSTIN (CONTD) (screaming) Syd, Syd, Syd please dont do this, Syd! And then, Syd, the guy who has tried to escape from his life, jumps off the building. People from the crowd scream, and before Syd hits the ground we-FADE TO BLACK

72. FADE IN INT. CAR - NIGHT Were back where we were before. But, this time its just Ricky and Dustin. They just dropped off the now-dead Syd, and are on there way home. DUSTIN Kid doesnt seem happy. RICKY You think so? He kids around a lot. I dont know. DUSTIN I know for a fact. Hes not happy. Shit. RICKY

RICKY Do you now think he set us up? DUSTIN Now, yes. 6 hours ago, no. Why now? RICKY

DUSTIN Why would those guys just randomly start unloading on us? RICKY To send a message. DUSTIN What message would they be sending? RICKY Well, to Sean a fuck you. Killing his guys and screwing him over. DUSTIN But... It just doesnt make sense.

74. RICKY So believe what you want, I just think that the guy set us up. Do you have the case? DUSTIN (beat) Yeah, its right here. So what are you gonna say the next time you see him? RICKY I quit. Dustin looks at Ricky furiously. DUSTIN No you arent. Yes, I am. RICKY

DUSTIN So itll just be me? RICKY Yeah, I guess. DUSTIN Wow... What the-RICKY You know I didnt tell you but at that super market I saved some lives. What? DUSTIN

76. DUSTIN Thats my point. What was the crowd like? RICKY Some of them screamed, some of them left. DUSTIN I didnt see one person leave the store. W-w-what. RICKY

DUSTIN Yes. What happened after you shot the two guys? RICKY They ran. They ran outta the store. No. DUSTIN

RICKY YES! What the actual fuck are you talking about? DUSTIN Im saying that no one left the store when we were there. Maybe a few people, but if they really did just witness a shooting/robbery, they would be screaming. RICKY Fucking call Syd. Fine. DUSTIN

Dustin opens up his cellphone, flips the antenna and calls Syd. It rings a few times, but no answer. No answer. Fuck! DUSTIN (CONTD) RICKY

DUSTIN Look, Im telling you it didnt happen.

77. RICKY (boggled) It did. Your acting as crazy as that guy, Marcus. DUSTIN Wha... What are you talking about Marcus was a really laid back dude. RICKY No... He had his gun pointed at your head. DUSTIN Are you high or are you fucking with me. RICKY I do- I dont understand. I dont know. DUSTIN Your acting crazy Rick. RICKY No. No Im not. He gave the whole speech about Ares and stuff, remember? DUSTIN He mentioned that his son, Ares, broke a giant glass bottle. RICKY Are you fucking with me, asshole? DUSTIN No, Im not. RICKY (beat) This doesnt make any sense. DUSTIN Are you on anything... No. RICKY

DUSTIN Few weeks ago... A few weeks ago, I read this thing on people with mental illness, who fill gaps, that arent there.

78. RICKY You sayin Im retarded or something. DUSTIN No! Are you depressed? Have you been since Sarah died? RICKY No. Well, maybe, I dont know. DUSTIN Do you feel like your playing a game that you just cant win? N... Yeah. RICKY

DUSTIN Buddy, youre depressed. Nothin to be ashamed of. RICKY You really think thats it? DUSTIN What, that youre filling gaps? Yeah. 100%. RICKY DUSTIN

RICKY Maybe the guns and the car accident... DUSTIN Maybe. But I think that its depression. Ricky struggles for words. He contemplates it, then finally comes to a realization. RICKY I think your right. DUSTIN Maybe you feel like you need to be a hero after your wifes death. Maybe you felt like you needed to be lauded for doing something.

79. RICKY Youre actually making sense. Youre a great guy, Dustin. DUSTIN You too. You just need to get your shit together. The car stops. Ricky pats Dustin on the back, then leaves the car. INT. RICKYS HOUSE - NIGHT Its dark. We can see Ricky sitting on his couch, with his legs on the coffee table. His eyes stay at the television as he pours a bottle of Vodka into a glass. Then, he chugs it, all without looking. The television is the only thing that illuminates the room. Suddenly, his 6 year old son walks into the room. But, Ricky only focuses on the television. DAN Dad... Are you going to go to sleep soon? Ricky omits him. Then we-FADE BLACK FADE IN INT. RICKYS HOUSE - MORNING Its the next morning. Ricky lays in bed. His son, DAN, lays beside him.

In the pan are some eggs and bacon. Ricky then picks the eggs and bacon up with his hands and puts it on a plate. He pours orange juice into a cup and sets it beside the plate. He does this once more, for himself. Then, he opens a cupboard and grabs 2 knives and 2 forks. He places them on the plates. He puts one plate in one hand and another plate in the other hand and sets it on a table. He screams-RICKY Dan! Foods ready. Dan comes running to the table. He sits down and begins eating. RICKY (CONTD) Buddy, Im going out today. Im gonna drop you at day care, OK? Yeah. DAN

The guy, I think his name was Andrew, tried to send him money in the mail, you know to try to pay off the debt, but Sean was still pissed. (MORE)

87. DEJAN (CONT'D) I dont know if Mikes death and Sean are related, but you best not tell anyone I told you. INT. RICKYS HOUSE - CONTINUOUS Ricky has a smile on his face. RICKY Thanks so much, you ever need anything just call me. Ricky hangs up. He stands up and puts his hands on his face. He rubs them together, then goes to pick up the telephone, one more time. RICKY (CONTD) Hey, Dustin. DUSTIN Im about to go up, what do you want? RICKY I know why Sean set up the hit! Why? DUSTIN

RICKY Mike was supposed to take some guy down, he didnt. He let the guy free and Sean caught him. I guess its sort of a vandetta? DUSTIN Shit, are you serious? Yeah. RICKY

Ricky instantly gets up. He yells-DUSTIN (screaming to Dan) Dan! Dan! Get up, come to daddys room. Then, we hear the footsteps of little Dan. He runs into his Dads room. DUSTIN (CONTD) Lie under the bed, OK? Why? DAN

DUSTIN Just please do it. Dan then goes to his drawer. He takes out a large gun, almost a hand canon, and loads it. He walks out of his bedroom slowly, to the kitchen, then to the dining room, then to the door. He peaks outside of his house, and we see two men holding revolvers, standing outside his house. Dan cocks his gun and shoots it at one of the men, breaking the glass and killing him. Ricky bends down while hes getting fired at by the other guys friend. We see the other guys friend, the INTRUDER, walk close to where Ricky is kneeled down. DAN Dad... Whats happening... Three bullets are fired at the house. Ricky gets up and fires a few bullets, not hitting anyone. We see the intruder make his way around the right side of the house. He breaks the right sides glass window and fires two bullets at Ricky, one hitting him in the leg and one missing. Fuck! RICKY

89. Ricky quickly stands up and fires three more bullets, but the intruder has already moved. Ricky, limping, makes his way to the back side of his house. We see a silhouette of a man appear behind him, but its just the shadow of a coat rack. We hear a BANG, a bullet nearly misses Ricky, but Ricky fires back, hitting the guy in the shoulder and making him drop to the ground. Ricky grabs a flashlight and runs on over to the man. EXT. OUTSIDE RICKYS HOUSE - NIGHT Its almost pitch black. The only thing that illuminates the outside is Rickys flashlight. Ricky shines it on the Intruder, then kicks the man in the head. INTRUDER (screaming) Ah!!! RICKY Youre lucky this is a secluded neighborhood, else the cops wouldve been here already. Who the fuck are you? No response. RICKY (CONTD) I swear to God, Ill kill you. Ricky shoots beside the man. The Intruder screams and -INTRUDER OK, OK. Sean... Sean got us to try to kill you. I had no say in dis. Sean... Yes. RICKY INTRUDER

93. Dustin hugs Ricky. Dustin pats Ricky on the back. CUT TO: INT. DUSTINS CAR - MORNING Dustin gets in his car. He doesnt put in the keys, though. He just sits there, staring at the road ahead. He puts his hands on his head, and massages it. DUSTIN (drawl) Fuck, fuck, fuck! Whats happening!!! He stops for a second. Then, he inserts his keys into the car. He twists, and the car powers on. Then he straightens everything out and accelerates. INT. DUSTINS HOUSE - CONTINUOUS Were now at Dustins house. Its modern, and 75% of its glass. When were there, he hasn't arrived yet. Suddenly, we hear the keys enter into the lock. TWIST. He opens up the door, then closes it, locking it. He kicks off his shoes. Puts his coat onto the coat rack. He walks on over to his huge bedroom. Its very big. He sits half on his bed. He puts his elbows on his knees and his hands are holding up his forehead. DUSTIN What do I do... (sighs). He moves to his night stand. Then, he opens the little cupboard. He takes out a bag of cocaine and a cocaine cutter. Then, he precedes to cut up the cocaine into a line. He drops the cutter, moves his nose to the cocaine, and snorts it up into a line. He rubs his noes and stands. CUT TO: INT. DUSTINS HOUSE - NIGHT Were back where we were a few hours ago. Dustin is sitting in his living room, with a pencil and a large piece of paper. We see him writing down some stuff. While Sean is at home at night, I call him and tell him that a guys breaking in to his meeting place. His guards will go and well get him then. He draws a picture of a gun right beside that. Two silenced pistols.

94. Then, he tapes a picture of Seans house onto the paper. He gets his home phone, dials numbers and waits. RICKY (O.S.) (tired) Hello... Ricky. DUSTIN

RICKY (O.S.) (tired, annoyed) Its 3:30 in the god damn mornin what do you want? DUSTIN I got a plan. Wait... You feeling safe? RICKY (O.S.) (suddenly interested) Safer... Whats the plan? DUSTIN Come over, early in the morning tomorrow. CLAURECE wont be home. Will do. RICKY (O.S.)

Dustin then gets up. He walks to his bedroom and we-FADE BLACK FADE IN Birds are chirping. Its a hot, Southern Californian summer morning. Dustin gets up, wearing the same clothes he did when he went to sleep. We hear the door bell ring. We hear it ring again, a third time. Then some knocks on the door. DUSTIN Im fucking... (Screaming) coming! He runs out of his bedroom, past the diing room, past the living room and finally reaches the door. He opens it up. Its Ricky. Hey! RICKY

95. DUSTIN Hey, hey, come in. Ricky steps in. He follows Dustin to the living room, where he had just previously made the plans to kill Sean. RICKY We really going to do this? DUSTIN Yeah, why not. Weve been doing this the last 15 years. RICKY Yeah, but its Sean. (reads) Where are we gonna get the fire arms? The silencers? DUSTIN Ah-ha. Here follow me. Ricky and Dustin go down to the basement. They turn a corner, and enter into a door. The door leads to a room The room has three doors. They go through the one on the left. Dustin tries to open the door but cant. Oh! DUSTIN (CONTD)

He reaches under the door for his key. He shows it to Ricky. Then, he inserts it into the door, and it opens. INT. GUN ROOM - MORNING The camera is at them, so we cant see what theyre so amazed by. Holy shit. Yep. RICKY DUSTIN

It is now revealed. The room is filled with assault rifles, some snipers, shot guns, revolvers, hand guns, an RPG, mags, bullets, everything. To top it all off theres an American flag that hangs. RICKY (laughs) This is like, the most chauvinistic thing Ive ever seen, its fucking awesome.

96. Dustin leads Ricky to a glass holder, like they have at stores. Theres silencers, magnums, clips, grenades, almost every attachment you can think of. RICKY (CONTD) (speechless, overwhelmed) Does this... Does anybody know about this? DUSTIN Nope. I just say its a bathroom. RICKY Um... So why the fuck dont we just use that (points to RPG) thing and implode the guys house. DUSTIN Too easy. Well get caught. RICKY (beat) What are you doing after we kill this guy?

Theres all types of folks there; skinny, fat, rich, poor, short, tall, black, white, Mexican, Spanish, you name it. Dustin arrives, wearing a thick suit, while his wife CLAURECE wears a silver dress. Dustin and Claurece link arms as they walk in, being greeted by many. He picks up a glass of wine and sips it. Claurece whispers to him-CLAURECE I dont know anybody here, stick with me. DUSTIN I will, you relax. They go to the kitchen, and see Sean with a girl, talking to many. Sean stops the conversation. SEAN (screaming to Dustin) Dustin! Get over here, glad you could make it! Sean hugs Dustin and gives a kiss on the hand to Claurece. Hes wearing a red suit jacket. SEAN (CONTD) Meet Jenny, come over here Jenny! Jenny walks over. Shes a white blonde, really pretty. Hey...

She whispers to Dustin. Shafted... CLAURECE (CONTD)

Dustin laughs, and then is directed by Sean to follow him. Sean leads him to a dark hallway. We can barely see them. SEAN Dustin... You know what happened with Ricky, right? DUSTIN No, what happened? SEAN He tried to kill me. DUSTIN (sarcastically) Really? SEAN Yeah, it was crazy. Then he left and went home. I was scared man, really scared. So I got a couple of guys to kill him. They didnt come back. Dustin-Jesus. DUSTIN

102. DUSTIN

Um...

SEAN Enjoy your night. Sean leaves, but Dustin doesnt. Sean walks by the lens while Dustin is still hidden by the darkness. He waits a moment, and then walks out. He walks to his wife. CLAURECE What was that? DUSTIN Nothing, just about some business. A WAITRESS then walks by. Sushi? WAITRESS#3

DUSTIN Yes, thank you. He takes a few and pops them into his mouth. CLAURECE No thank you. WAITRESS#3 Enjoy your night! INT. SEANS HOUSE - NIGHT Dustin and Claurece are sitting in the back of Seans house, not talking to anybody. They eat their food on plastic plates and with plastic forks. CLAURECE What happened, Dust, you dont look right? DUSTIN Im fine, Im fine. Just a little shaken up. CLAURECE How? I-I dont understand. DUSTIN Its just business, Claurece, relax.

103. CLAURECE Whatever you say, grumpy. CUT TO: INT. SEANS HOUSE - NIGHT Its the end of the night, probably midnight. Claurece puts her coat on and so does Dustin. They say goodbye. SEAN Youre leaving, already? DUSTIN Yes, we better get going. SEAN Oh. Well, please call me later Dustin. Will do. DUSTIN

SEAN And goodbye, lovely Claurece. CLAURECE Thank you, Sean. We had a lovely time. INT. DUSTINS HOUSE - NIGHT Dustin sits on his living room couch. He reviews his plans once more, then picks up the phone to call Sean. 10 seconds pass. SEAN (O.S.) Yeah, yeah. Hello? DUSTIN Hey, did I catch you at the wrong time? SEAN (O.S.) No, never a bad time. DUSTIN Oh OK, you asked me to call you?

104. SEAN (O.S.) Yes, yes. Heres how itll go down. You go to his house tell him you need to talk to him. Then, you pulls out a gun and shoot twice, in the stomach. Then, CHONNY and YIP, who will be accompanying you, will come through the front door, killing him. I want him to see all of it. DUSTIN Mh... (silence for about 15 seconds). SEAN (O.S.) Tomorrow night. Sean hangs up. Dustin puts his head in his hands. FADE BLACK FADE IN The next night, at 6:30, comes across the screen. The sun is lowering. INT. SEANS HOUSE - EVENING Dustin is at Seans house. Hes betrayed his friend. Sean? DUSTIN

SEAN Yeah, coming. Sean appears with CHONNY and YIP. Chonny is a big Russian man and Yip is an Asian man. SEAN (CONTD) You ready to do this? You ready to kill him? DUSTIN Yeah... Im, Im ready. SEAN Good. You can take my car. Here, take this. He hands him a revolver.

105. DUSTIN

Thank you.

INT. CAR - CONTINUOUS Dustin, Chonny and Yip all sit in the car. Yip and Chonny have blank looks on their faces, while Dustin cant decide between a smile or a frown. You OK? Yeah. Nervous? CHONNY DUSTIN YIP

DUSTIN Dont be tellin me about being nervous. Ive done this hundreds of times. Gonna do it again tonight. YIP Werent you friends with him? DUSTIN Yeah, I was. CHONNY How fars his house away? DUSTIN About 5 minutes. YIP (delightfully surprised)

Oh.

CHONNY So hows this gonna work. DUSTIN He trusts me. Im going to enter in through his front door. Shoot him in the stomach, or something, not killing him, then you guys come in shoot him in the head. YIP Sounds good.

106. CHONNY

Mhm.

YIP How many people do you think youve killed? Me? Yes. DUSTIN YIP

DUSTIN Over a hundred. Whoa. YIP

DUSTIN Mhm. How about you? YIP 5, maybe at the most. DUSTIN Make that 6 tonight. You young fellas keep score, compare? CHONNY Yes, a lot. DUSTIN (laughs) Haha. Haha. CHONNY/YIP

CHONNY We almost there? 2 minutes. DUSTIN

EXT. OUTSIDE RICKYS HOUSE - EVENING A car slows down beside Rickys. Yip and Chonny get out first, and then Dustin does. Dustin signals for them to stand beside the entrance to Rickys house, and they do as he says. As Ricky walks up to the house, he smiles. He places his gun in his pocket, and rings the doorbell.

107. RICKY Coming! Who is it? DUSTIN Its me. Dustin. Dustin. RICKY

Ricky opens up the door and shakes Dustins hand. Come in. RICKY (CONTD)

INT. RICKYS HOUSE - EVENING Dustin follows Ricky in. They sit on a couch, across from each other. RICKY You excited? DUSTIN More excited than Ive been in my life. RICKY Haha, me too. DUSTIN So hows everything going? RICKY Good. Since the last time I saw you, haha. DUSTIN Thats good. RICKY How was Seans party? DUSTIN Pretty shitty. EXT. OUTSIDE RICKYS HOUSE - EVENING Yip and Chonny stand outside, listening in. Yip has a confused look on his face, and says to Chonny--

108. YIP How did he know he had a party last night? CHONNY I dont know. Shut up. INT. RICKYS HOUSE - EVENING We just missed what they said, but theyre both laughing. DUSTIN (laughing) Really? RICKY (laughing)

Yes.

Then, Dustin stops. He stares at Ricky. He slowly reaches into his pocket and pulls out his revolver. Rickys jaw drops and he goes into shock. Then, Dustin drops the gun onto the floor. Dustin signals Ricky to come to him. He whispers into his ear. DUSTIN (whispering) Theyre outside. Sean tried to get me to kill you. Im going to shoot, they will come in. Well use the guns we were going to use on Sean, more powerful. Im going to shoot the floor, theyll come in, fuckin pop their heads off, OK? Ricky shakes his head, yes. Dustin then turns off safety, so does Ricky. He shoots the floor, BANG, and Yip and Chonny bust the door open. But BANG. Theyre both shot. Chonnys dead, but Yip isnt. He lets out scream. YIP (screaming) Ow!! Youll be in so much shit, Sean will kill you. Ricky then runs up to him and kicks him in the head. Yip falls unconscious. Ricky then shoots Yip in the head, blood splattering everywhere, killing him. RICKY Thank you for not killing me.

109. DUSTIN You really think I would? No. RICKY

DUSTIN Good. Wheres Dan? RICKY At his grandmothers. DUSTIN Oh, fuck, thank god. Didnt want to bring the little kid there. RICKY (laughing) Lets go. They enter into the car and drive off. INT. CAR - EVENING Ricky and Dustin are sitting in the car, Dustins driving. They both have their guns on their lap and blood on their faces and T-shirts. DUSTIN You know how scared I was after he asked me to do that? RICKY You better have been. How far away is Seans house? 5 minutes. DUSTIN

RICKY Oh good. You got the ammo and shit with you? DUSTIN Of course, here. RICKY Whos at his house? DUSTIN When I was there only three people, plus Sean.

110. RICKY So how are we going to do this? Mh... I know. How? DUSTIN RICKY DUSTIN

RICKY We pretend that Im Yip! DUSTIN No, dumbass, no. RICKY I was kidding, idiot. DUSTIN Better idea! Which is? RICKY

DUSTIN You lie outside, I go in, say that Yip and Chonny are at your house, and ask him if he wants to see the body. Hell say Yes. You have your gun with you and while theyre looking at your dead body, pop em in the head. Ugh... RICKY

DUSTIN What? You have a better idea? RICKY No, but its really risky. DUSTIN We have to, unless you miraculously think of some great plan in 4 minutes. RICKY OK. I guess we gotta do that one, then.

111. DUSTIN Hold your breath. What? RICKY

DUSTIN Hold your breath. Ricky holds his breath. DUSTIN (CONTD) (counting) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. RICKY I can hold my breath, I get it! DUSTIN OK. Do that. I will. RICKY

DUSTIN You ready? Were on his street. RICKY Lets do this. OK. DUSTIN

They arrive at Seans house. Ricky runs around to the other side of the car, and lies on the grass thats beside Seans house. He places the pistol under his back. He plays dead. Then, Dustin gets out and knocks on the door. INT. SEANS HOUSE - EVENING Dustin is let in by one of SEANS MEN. DUSTIN Wheres Sean? SEANS MAN #1 Dining room. Dustin runs to the dining room as fast as he can. He sees Sean eating a sandwich, with TWO OTHER MEN sitting with him.

112. SEAN Hey, Dustin, how did it go? Good. DUSTIN

SEAN You kill that motherfucker? Yeah. DUSTIN

SEAN Wheres Yip and that other guy? DUSTIN Theyre just at his house. Why? SEAN

DUSTIN To... uh... watch some things. SEAN Thats weird. DUSTIN Yes. If you could just-Sit down. OK. Dustin sits down. SEAN Youre a hard working man. Thank you. DUSTIN SEAN DUSTIN

SEAN Just kick back. Relax, have some food. DUSTIN Im really not hungry. SEAN Lets talk.

113. SEAN (CONTD) Howd you enjoy last night? DUSTIN It was great, it was really great. Thank you. SEAN

DUSTIN So can we just-SEAN Dustin... Dustin! Fucking relax. OK. DUSTIN

SEAN You make this whole business, this whole organization, flow. Thanks. DUSTIN

SEAN Those other assholes Mike, Syd, Ricky dont compare to you. DUSTIN Wait, why Mike? SEAN Tell you the truth? Yes. DUSTIN

SEAN To tell you the truth, Mike fucked me over. How? DUSTIN

SEAN This guy, Andrez really fucked me over badly. How? DUSTIN

SEAN He owed me a lot of money.

114. DUSTIN So what happened? SEAN I asked Mike to do the simple task of ending him and nope. The pussy fucked me over. DUSTIN Ricky told me a different story. SEAN It depends on whos perspective your looking at it from. From Mikes its big bad Sean made Mike kill an innocent guy, and from my side its an employer asked an employee to do his job, but instead he slacked off and as a result I lost tons of money. DUSTIN You... Youre right. SEAN Yes. Have a bite of that sandwich, BLT is my favorite. Dustin ignores him. DUSTIN I wont be pissed. I wont be pissed but, can you just tell me now, did you set us up? SEAN I didnt set you up. I set Mike up. The night you handed me the case, I only gave Syd and you some money. So because of that everyone elses stake in the money was diluted, and Ricky was retired, so it benefited you. Everyone fucked me over, except for you two. INT. SEANS HOUSE - FLASHBACK - NIGHT We flashback to Seans house. Dustin comes walking in Sean hugs him. Dustin sets the case down. He hands it over to Sean, Sean pats him on the back.

115. INT. SEANS HOUSE - EVENING Were back. Everythings the same as it was 30 seconds ago. DUSTIN Oh, oh okay. Thats how Syd had so much cash, oh... The night I handed you the case, the day before I went to Vegas... Mhm. SEAN

DUSTIN You denied setting us up. SEAN I didnt want to tell you that before youd go and kill Syd. It was just too much at once. DUSTIN (beat) Im proud of my work, let me show you the body. SEAN OK. Lets go. The man who greeted Dustin at the front door leads the group back outside. 3 of Seans men and him walk to the door. DUSTIN Got him through the stomach twice, and Yip and Cherry or whatever got him in the head. Good. SEAN

EXT. OUTSIDE SEANS HOUSE - EVENING We see Ricky on the ground, pretending to be dead. The three men, Sean and Dustin all walk toward Ricky. SEAN Thats good. Sean steps on Rickys back. DUSTIN Sean, Sean, look at this.

116. SEAN

What?

DUSTIN I can show you this magic trick where I can make anything disappear, Ill do it on this bush. SEAN Are you serious? Yes. DUSTIN

SEAN Aw, I loved magic ever since I was a little kid. DUSTIN Me too, let me do my trick. SEAN Do it on me first. Ok ready. QDustin screams-DUSTIN (CONTD) 3...2...1... and abra kadabra! Ricky stands up, he shoots two of Seans men in the back. Then Dustin gets the third one. Sean screams, he isnt shot though. Then two more men run out of Seans front door. They shoot a bunch of times, missing but shooting Sean in the legs. He drops to the ground. Dustin shoots the guy in the head. Dustin punches Sean in the mouth. Sean falls to the ground. Another man runs outside, he throws a knife at Dustin, slicing a bit of his stomach, but overall missing. Ricky unloads on the guy. The guy behind him shoots Ricky in the thigh, knocking him down. Ricky crawls to the stairs-RICKY Fuckin move! I dont know if theres anymore. Dustin moves with Sean. One more guy comes running out screaming-MAN#3 I am the last, I will avenge!! DUSTIN

117. He trips down the stairs and falls on Ricky. Lethargic, Ricky shoots once, blows the guys brains out, and rests. DUSTIN Cmon, lets go. Ricky stands up, limping and running to the car. Dustin opens one of the back seats and puts Seans still alive body in the car. Ricky gets into the front seat, while Dustin goes into the passengers and Ricky presses the gas. DUSTIN (CONTD) Jesus... that was a long shot. RICKY I know, I know. DUSTIN We fuckin did it. SEAN You stupid asshole crackas!! DUSTIN Shut the fuck up, you piece of shit. (to Ricky) where are we going? RICKY Down to the ocean. EXT. OCEAN FRONT - NIGHT Theyre at the beach. They drive the car down to the dock, and Ricky and Dustin get out. RICKY OK, you have the rock? DUSTIN Yeah, here. Why do you need it? Is it big? RICKY

DUSTIN Here, look. RICKY OK. Good, Its huge.

118. Its like a boulder. Ricky opens up the car door, Sean screams as loud as he can. Ricky drops the rock on the pedal and the car goes zooming into the Ocean. It takes about 20 seconds for the car to actually hit the water because the dock is so long. The boys both laugh and slap hands. FADE BLACK FADE IN EXT. OUTSIDE RICKYS HOUSE - MORNING We dont know how long the gap between Seans death and now is, but everyone looks the same. Rickys loading boxes into his car when suddenly, Dustin drives by. He gets out of his car. DUSTIN Im gonna miss you buddy. Wheres Dan? RICKY Waiting in the car. Dustin walks to Rickys car and taps on the window. Dan rolls down the window. DUSTIN Goodbye, little man. Bye, bye. DAN

Dustin then goes back to Ricky. DUSTIN How fars the drive to New York? RICKY Its about 2 days. DUSTIN OK. Well, well be following you. It is revealed that Dustin and his wife are also in their car, with boxes in it. DUSTIN (CONTD) See you on the other side! Bye, bye! RICKY

119. And with that, our two lone survivors drive off into the sun, heading east to New York, leaving their lives behind, like Syd and starting new, like Mike. As the cars head off Ricky and Dan start a new life as do Dustin and Claurece. FADE BLACK END CREDITS ROLL
