MANSION ENTRANCE
Stopped by a VALET, Tyson gets out of the car wearing a
draggy white shirt, track pants and flip flops.

Scores of people talk and snort cocaine amongst themselves
in separate groups. Expensive dresses, tuxedos and diamonds
dress the upper class citizens of Millhaven.
Tyson smiles, takes two steps when he is cut off by:
MR. MEXICO, not Mexican, 70, tiny, decrepit, bound to an
automatic wheelchair. A little tuxedo oozes wealthy.
MR. MEXICO
I’ve been waiting a long time to see
you again, old friend.
Tyson smiles.
TYSON
Mr. Mexico.
Tyson shakes Mr. Mexico’s frail hand, gently.
Mr. Mexico looks Tyson up and down.
MR. MEXICO
Your wardrobe selections suggests
you’re not here to tempt fortune, Mr.
Margate.
Tyson looks around at all the snazzy folk racking coke.
TYSON
I never did find a tuxedo comforting,
Mr. Mexico.
Mr. Mexico smiles delightfully.
MR. MEXICO
Tell me, how’s your lovely wife,
Kiki, was her name?
TYSON
She’s very good. Won't be too lovely
if she finds out I'm here though.
MR. MEXICO
Don’t stress the matter, Mr. Margate.
My lips are sealed.
Mr. Mexico winks. Tyson smiles.

My son, Junior, he’s growing up fast,
too fast.
MR. MEXICO
I’m very happy for you.
TYSON
Thank you, Mr. Mexico, It’s difficult
though, in these times.
MR. MEXICO
Well, there’s no place like home, is
there, Mr. Margate. Come!
Mr. Mexico leads Tyson to a set of stairs. A ramp runs
adjacent.
Mr. Mexico drives down the ramp while Tyson walks down the
stairs that lead to the --
MANSION’S MAIN HALL
Mr. Mexico beeps at people, people move. They continue
through the wealthy crowd.
MR. MEXICO
What has it been now, Mr. Margate?
Seven, eight years?
TYSON
Seven, I believe.
MR. MEXICO
Yes, my luck has shifted since your
departure. Yes, I have too much faith
in these up and coming underdogs.
Shame on me.
Tyson looks around at the beautiful house.
TYSON
I'm sure it's really taken it's toll.

Mr. Mexico laughs.
MR. MEXICO
Nonsense! Come!
Mr. Mexico waves for Tyson to keep following. They pass
through a spectacular opening that leads to the --
Massive opening. Floodlights stand at each corner of the
yard. A boxing ring sits amidst a hefty crowd. Two monsters

Punters throw money at the Bookies.

TASMYN

JULIAN
Being governed by someone who thinks
they're above others for something as
trivial as money is pathetic. And
this pecking order society has
created is unnatural and dangerous.
Tasmyn cocks her eyebrow.
TASMYN
Would you prefer to live like
animals, Julian?
JULIAN
We are animals.
TASMYN
Animals live in hierarchies.
JULIAN
Natural hierarchy is earned by
physical strength and aggression.
Ours is achieved by who has the
thickest wallets.
TASMYN
So, what would you suggest? We
eliminate money entirely? Because
that would just -
Julian interrupts.
JULIAN

direction to legitimate freedom.

clean room. A few clothes hang from the arm of the couch.
TASMYN
Take a seat sweetheart.
Julian takes a seat. Tasmyn grabs the clothes from the couch
arm, then plugs her phone into an iPod dock. She hits play.
She CRANKS: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Curse Of
Millhaven. She winks at Julian on her way into the kitchen.
Julian taps his finger against the lounge. Scouts the room.
Cupboard doors BANG from the kitchen.
TASMYN (O.S.)
Uggghh.. Where's that goddamn bottle!
Draws open. A glass SMASHES.
TASMYN (O.S.)
Fuck!
Tasmyn walks back on screen. A bottle of red in one hand,
two glasses in the other. She SINGS along with the music as
she walks seductively towards Julian.
She takes a seat next to Julian.
Red wine pours into a glass.

CONTINUED:
Tasmyn slides Julian a glass. Shuffles closer to him.
Like a champ, Tasmyn necks her glass of red in one hit, not
taking an eye off Julian.
Tasmyn snorts into her glass as she laughs to herself. Gives
Julian a competitive smirk.
Julian doesn't know how to feel.
Silence for a moment. Then -
TASMYN
Can I ask you a question?
JULIAN
That depends.
TASMYN
On what?
JULIAN
Do you want the truth?
Tasmyn takes a moment as she looks at Julian.
TASMYN
I could ask you the same question.
JULIAN
It doesn't matter to me.
Tasmyn, surprised a little.
TASMYN
You’re okay to tell me the truth?
Julian sniffs his wine. Smiles, then has a sip.
TASMYN
Why are you here?
JULIAN
Here?
TASMYN
In Millhaven.
JULIAN
Are you sure you want those answers?
Tasmyn raises a competitive eyebrow.
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:
TASMYN
Don’t think I can handle it?
Julian stares into Tasmyn’s eyes.
Tasmyn puts her hand on Julian’s knee.
TASMYN
You’re an eccentric man, Julian. If I
was to stab the dark; your answers
aren’t for conventional folk. And I’m
definitely sure you’re answers won’t
earn you any brownie points with the
local lawmen.
Tasmyn makes a gun with her hand and puts it to Julian’s
head. Pretends to fire.
TASMYN
Am I shottin' straight, busta?
Julian shows a cheeky smile.
TASMYN
So tell me. And don’t sugar coat it.
Why are you here?
Julian moves his tongue around in his mouth, thinking before
he speaks. He looks at Tasmyn, admires her.
JULIAN
The watch.
TASMYN
At the exhibit tomorrow?
Julian nods. Has a sip.
TASMYN
Why? What’s so special about it?
JULIAN
There’s nothing special about it.
TASMYN
You came all this way to look at a
not so special watch?
JULIAN
No.
TASMYN
Then why are you here?
(CONTINUED)
39.
CONTINUED:
JULIAN
I came here to take it.
TASMYN
I thought it wasn’t special to you.
JULIAN
It’s not.
Tasmyn gets close. Her speech slows down. Her hand creeps up
his thigh.
TASMYN
How?
JULIAN
I’m going to walk in there and kill
anyone that gets in my way.
Tasmyn gives Julian a come-hither smirk. Tilts her head,
adoring Julian. Lick her lips.
TASMYN
Why would you do that?
Julian winks at Tasmyn.
Julian fills his hands with water. Splashes it over his
face. Stares into the mirror. A million things running
through his bizarre brain.
He grabs a towel, dries himself off and tucks his shirt in
to hide a SPLASH of blood, then walks out into --
TASMYN'S BEDROOM
Tasmyn lies naked on the bed. Inviting Julian.
Julian takes off his jacket.
Distinctive STAR TATTOO on the back of his neck.
TASMYN’S BEDROOM – LATER
SQUEAKY CEILING FAN.
Julian sits up. Wide awake. He dresses himself. Blue jeans,
stylish jacket.

He walks around to a sleeping Tasmyn. Stares at her.
Duffle bag in the corner.
He walks off, dragging his fingertips softly down Tasmyn’s
naked body.
He grabs his bag. Opens the door.
Julian looks back. He stares at Tasmyn for a moment.
Julian inhales and exhales through his nose, turns the key.
Engine rumbles to life.
A few street lamps do a dreadful job.
A security door with a “MUSEUM PERSONNEL ONLY” sign on it.
A little intercom with a number pad next to the door.
Julian studies the door and intercom.
VOICES and FLASHLIGHTS creep from around the corner.
Julian disappears.
INSERT TITLE CARD: SATURDAY
SOOTHING MUSIC plays as Julian strolls down the aisles.
He stops when he hits the first aid kits.
He picks up the most expensive one. Walks to the --
CHEMIST COUNTER
An elderly PHARMACIST, 60s, thick rim glasses - stands
behind the counter.
A digital clock on the wall behind tells the time of 6:03am.
Julian PLONKS the first aid kit on the counter.

PHARMACIST

You going to wrestle a bear or

Pharmacist thinks of himself as a comedian. Julian isn’t
impressed.
Pharmacist can feel Julian’s glare. Acts cool. Scans the
first aid kit.
PHARMACIST
Okay then, that’ll be forty nine
ninety five.
Julian taps his pockets.
JULIAN
I don’t have any money.
PHARMACIST
Well you can’t have the first aid kit
then.
JULIAN
I need it.
PHARMACIST
I don’t care.
JULIAN
I’m taking it.
PHARMACIST
No, you can’t, sir, that’s stealing.
JULIAN
But I need it.
PHARMACIST
You look fine.
JULIAN
I look fine now.
PHARMACIST
Look buddy, if you don’t have any
money, you can’t have it. End of
story.
JULIAN
Does this first aid kit have two sets
of scissors?

Pharmacist stands confused.
PHARMACIST
Why does it matter?
JULIAN
I only need one.
PHARMACIST
That doesn’t matter. You can’t have
any of it.
Julian peels opens the first aid kit. Pulls out one set of
scissors and chucks them on the counter.
PHARMACIST
Sir, are you okay in the head?
Julian looks at Pharmacist.
JULIAN
What defines someone to be ‘okay’ in
the head?
PHARMACIST
Well, I don’t -
JULIAN
- You don’t know?
Pharmacist, speechless.
JULIAN
Why would you ask someone a question
like that if you yourself do not have
a full understanding of what the
answer is or should be?
PHARMACIST
Look, all I know is that you cannot
just have the first aid kit. Now if
you’re not going to pay for anything,
I’m going to have to ask you to
leave.
Julian looks at Pharmacist as if he were an idiot. Grabs the
handle of the first aid kit, but doesn’t lift it. Yet.
PHARMACIST
Sir.
Julian looks at the Pharmacist like a rebellious child and
lifts the first aid kit from the counter. Slowly.
(CONTINUED)

PHARMACIST
No.
Julian turns, walks for the exit. First aid kit in hand.
PHARMACIST
Sir!
Julian ignores Pharmacist. Pharmacist picks up the phone.
Julian stops. Turns to Pharmacist.
JULIAN
Are you willing to die for forty nine
dollars?
Pharmacist swallows hard and hangs up the phone. Petrified.
JULIAN
Cut the cord.
PHARMACIST
Wh, What?
JULIAN
Take the scissors I just gave you and
cut the cord to the telephone.
Scissors on the bench.
PHARMACIST
But -
JULIAN
(ordering )
- I didn’t stutter. Cut the cord.
Julian watches over as Pharmacist hesitantly cuts the cord.
An empty parking lot. Few shops next door yet to be opened.
Julian walks for his Bugatti Atlantic when a little white
car with “MILLHAVEN MUSEUM SECURITY” stickers planted across
the doors parks up in front of the chemist.
Julian stops. He watches as a SKINNY, red headed, Security
Guard gets out of the passenger door.
Skinny FLICKS his keys and WHISTLES as he walks inside the
chemist.

Inside the car sits the CHUBBY Security Guard (pg 7), behind
the wheel. Shoveling a doughnut into his mouth.
Chubby sips at his steamy large coffee with powdered sugar
smeared on his chin while steering the wheel. Skinny sits. A
train of thought hitting him like a mullet.
SKINNY
That pharmacist was acting strange.
Car lights FLASH from behind.
CHUBBY
Ugh, what does this stupid guy want?
Chubby puts his arm out the window. Signals to pass.
No cars pass.
FLASHES again.
SKINNY
Maybe something’s wrong. Pull over.
Covered by 2 apartment blocks. Brick walls swallow the
security car as they pull up. Julian’s Atlantic pulls up
half a foot behind.
Chubby hops out. Puts his arms out to his sides.
CHUBBY
What’s the problem?
Julian steps out of his Atlantic. Draws his silenced shotgun
on Chubby.
Chubby’s eyes open wide.
Julian FIRES. An ice bucket challenge of shotgun pellets.
Chubby takes flight. HAMMERS into the brick wall.
Skinny jumps out. Grabs his pistol, but is met by the sight
of a pump action shotgun barrel staring him in the face.
Skinny drops his pistol. Throws his hands in the air.
Trembling like a kitten.

Skinny panics. Shakes desperately.
Blindfold removed, revealing we are --

Skinny faces the wall. Bound by ropes attached to each of

Julian stands behind, next to a steel table piled with rusty
cutting tools.
Julian removes the gag.
Skinny, in between confused as fuck and scared shitless --

Find a way.
Skinny tries to shake his cloths off. Useless.
SKINNY
I can’t do it!
JULIAN
Try harder.
Skinny shakes harder. Still no progress.
SKINNY
I can’t!
Julian grabs a hammer and hits it against the steel table.

STEEL SCRAPING CONCRETE. Julian pushes a table up next to
Peter. Unties his right hand.
JULIAN
Put your hand on the table.
Peter, hesitantly, places his hand on the table. Looks back

JULIAN
Don’t look at me.
Peter looks forward and then straight back at Julian.
Julian picks up his gun, points it at Peter’s butt.
Peter looks forward. Shuts his eyes. Petrified. Crying.

Peter drops to the ground, looks at his hand. It’s fine.

Peter makes his way to his way to his feet, undressing
himself. Slowly.
JULIAN
Hurry up.
Julian hops in. He puts his new, nicely folded, security
uniform on the passenger seat.

One, six, three, eight, five.
He takes a black marker that lives in a cup holder and
writes down “1,6,3,8,5” on a note pad.

A compact pistol sits on a bong ridden table. Alister picks

ALISTER
We need a magnum or some other hand
cannon with a mean kick back. Pop one

CARRICK
We ain’t lead him into shit, he got
himself in this mess and here we are
fixing the fuckin’ situation.
ALISTER
It's our fault he's in this
predicament. He's a good kid with
alota potential. His only downfall is
that he idolized us and we lead him
into the fuckin’ gutter via drugs and
gamblin'. Our oldies would turn in
their grave if we turned our back on
him, now.
Carrick agrees. Stands.
CARRICK
You’re right, bruv. We need to
protect him. It's our duty as family.

Carrick takes over the wheel.
ALISTER
Well, it's simple really, we gonna
rob some shitty little service
stations for everything they have in
the till, then we’re gonna take our
little skinny white asses to a big

Hang on a fuckin’ tik. You want to

ALISTER
Yeah.
CARRICK
Why don’t we just rob a fuckin’ gun
store?

Alister keeps his eyes on the museum. Taps his teeth.
CARRICK
‘Av you ever heard of the Theo Henry
Method, bruv?
Alister looks at Carrick with genuine interest.
CARRICK
It’s a method a lotta professional
fighters use. In the week leading up
to their bout, they don’t train hard
or nothing. They don’t hit the bag or
do whatever the fuck they do. They
calm themselves. So when they get
into that ring, they ain’t all tense.
They’re level headed. They’re ready.
(points to museum )
That’s your ring, bruv. There’s a lot
at stake here, a lot on your
shoulders. You don’t want to be
making any rash decisions because
you’re head ain’t in the game. Let
your brain rest tonight. So it’s
ready tomorrow. Ready to get our
little brother back.
Alister has a change of heart. Smiles.

head.
NEPHEW
Why a strip club, Grayson?
Grayson, close to imploding.
NEPHEW
You know, I ain’t ever been a fan of
titty bars. They give me blue balls.
You ever get that, honkey?
Grayson’s got no idea.
NEPHEW
Nah, you ain’t ever had blue balls.
Being a good looking dude with all
the money in the world, daddy being
as powerful as he is. Yeah, I bet you
seen a lot of ass in your time. You
ever fucked a stripper, Grayson?
Grayson, calming down.
NEPHEW
How much ya pay? Five hundred? One
thousand? One hundred? Those hundred
dollar strippers are nasty. I like my
strippers at the thousand mark. They
the good ones, but I ain’t ever paid
for sex before. I like to earn my
pussy.
Grayson, more confused than scared.
NEPHEW
So, contrary to what everyone
believes, us gangsters don’t like
paying for sex all that much. Which
brings me back as to why I don’t
indulge in strip clubs. Them sexy
girls, they be grinding up on you,
rubbing their pussies on your dick,

just looking at it. It’s cooked to

to a mans hand and made his jack off

Grayson, disgusted.
GRAYSON
What do you want me to do?
NEPHEW
What the fuck you think? We need this

Mother fucker intercepted some
important shit regarding the watch

tomorrow to make a mess. I’d go
myself, but hell, mother fucker
scares the shit out of me.
GRAYSON
Surely you have someone more capable?
NEPHEW
You’re expendable, cocoa puff. I’ll
lay it out for your dumb ass. You got
two options. Option one: You kill
him. Option two: We kill you. If you
possess any self preservation, you’ll

pushes it back.

Tasmyn rests her arms against the bar.
TASMYN

Tasmyn checks out the building. Shrugs her shoulders.
TASMYN

TASMYN
On what?
JULIAN
Do you want the truth?
Tasmyn looks Julian up and down.
TASMYN
Why do you think it’s okay for you
bludge, but everyone else has to do
hard yards.
JULIAN
No one has a gun to your head.
TASMYN
Yeah, not a gun with bullets, but
with debt and unhappiness and hunger
and dehydration.
JULIAN
As one that does none of what you do,
I'm very quenched.
TYSON
That's nice, you forget to mention as

JULIAN
Persistence is key, right?
Tasmyn gives Julian a questioning look.
Julian gives in.
JULIAN
I don't like people telling me what

Tasmyn, interested, waits for Julian to speak again.
TASMYN
Care to elaborate?
JULIAN
Being governed by someone who thinks
they're above others for something as
trivial as money is pathetic. And
this pecking order society has
created is unnatural and dangerous.
Tasmyn cocks her eyebrow.
TASMYN
Would you prefer to live like
animals, Julian?
JULIAN
We are animals.
TASMYN
Animals live in hierarchies.
JULIAN
Natural hierarchy is earned by
physical strength and aggression.
Ours is achieved by who has the
thickest wallets.
TASMYN
So, what would you suggest? We
eliminate money entirely? Because
that would just -
Julian interrupts.
JULIAN
- That, would steer us in the right
direction to legitimate freedom.
TASMYN
You know that's never gonna happen.
Looks like you'll just have to adapt

Julian doesn't know how to feel.
Silence for a moment. Then -
TASMYN

JULIAN
That depends.

Do you want the truth?
Tasmyn takes a moment as she looks at Julian.
TASMYN
I could ask you the same question.

TASMYN
Don’t think I can handle it?
Julian stares into Tasmyn’s eyes.
Tasmyn puts her hand on Julian’s knee.
TASMYN
You’re an eccentric man, Julian. If I
was to stab the dark; your answers
aren’t for conventional folk. And I’m
definitely sure you’re answers won’t
earn you any brownie points with the
local lawmen.
Tasmyn makes a gun with her hand and puts it to Julian’s
head. Pretends to fire.
TASMYN
Am I shottin' straight, busta?
Julian shows a cheeky smile.
TASMYN
So tell me. And don’t sugar coat it.
Why are you here?
Julian moves his tongue around in his mouth, thinking before
he speaks. He looks at Tasmyn, admires her.
JULIAN

TASMYN
At the exhibit tomorrow?
Julian nods. Has a sip.
TASMYN
Why? What’s so special about it?
JULIAN
There’s nothing special about it.

TASMYN
How?
JULIAN
I’m going to walk in there and kill
anyone that gets in my way.
Tasmyn gives Julian a come-hither smirk. Tilts her head,
adoring Julian. Lick her lips.
TASMYN
Why would you do that?
Julian winks at Tasmyn.

Julian looks at Pharmacist.
JULIAN
What defines someone to be ‘okay’ in

PHARMACIST
Well, I don’t -

Why would you ask someone a question
like that if you yourself do not have

answer is or should be?
PHARMACIST
Look, all I know is that you cannot
just have the first aid kit. Now if
you’re not going to pay for anything,
I’m going to have to ask you to
leave.
Julian looks at Pharmacist as if he were an idiot. Grabs the
handle of the first aid kit, but doesn’t lift it. Yet.
PHARMACIST
Sir.
Julian looks at the Pharmacist like a rebellious child and
lifts the first aid kit from the counter. Slowly.

PHARMACIST
No.
Julian turns, walks for the exit. First aid kit in hand.
PHARMACIST
Sir!
Julian ignores Pharmacist. Pharmacist picks up the phone.
Julian stops. Turns to Pharmacist.
JULIAN
Are you willing to die for forty nine
dollars?
Pharmacist swallows hard and hangs up the phone. Petrified.
JULIAN
Cut the cord.
PHARMACIST
Wh, What?
JULIAN
Take the scissors I just gave you and
cut the cord to the telephone.
Scissors on the bench.
PHARMACIST
But -
JULIAN

Julian watches over as Pharmacist hesitantly cuts the cord.
EXT. CHEMIST - CONTINUOUS
An empty parking lot. Few shops next door yet to be opened.
Julian walks for his Bugatti Atlantic when a little white
car with “MILLHAVEN MUSEUM SECURITY” stickers planted across
the doors parks up in front of the chemist.
Julian stops. He watches as a SKINNY, red headed, Security
Guard gets out of the passenger door.
Skinny FLICKS his keys and WHISTLES as he walks inside the
chemist.

INT. SECURITY CAR (MOVING) - MOMENTS LATER
Chubby sips at his steamy large coffee with powdered sugar
smeared on his chin while steering the wheel. Skinny sits. A
train of thought hitting him like a mullet.
SKINNY
That pharmacist was acting strange.
Car lights FLASH from behind.
CHUBBY
Ugh, what does this stupid guy want?
Chubby puts his arm out the window. Signals to pass.
No cars pass.
FLASHES again.
SKINNY
Maybe something’s wrong. Pull over.
EXT. BACK ALLEY - CONTINUOUS
Covered by 2 apartment blocks. Brick walls swallow the
security car as they pull up. Julian’s Atlantic pulls up
half a foot behind.
Chubby hops out. Puts his arms out to his sides.
CHUBBY
What’s the problem?
Julian steps out of his Atlantic. Draws his silenced shotgun
on Chubby.
Chubby’s eyes open wide.
Julian FIRES. An ice bucket challenge of shotgun pellets.
Chubby takes flight. HAMMERS into the brick wall.
Skinny jumps out. Grabs his pistol, but is met by the sight
of a pump action shotgun barrel staring him in the face.
Skinny drops his pistol. Throws his hands in the air.
Trembling like a kitten.

Head moves, left, right, left. Tries to talk. Gagged.

Skinny panics. Shakes desperately.
Blindfold removed, revealing we are --
INT. FACTORY - DAY
Hasn’t seen humans in decades. Cobwebs hang rafter to
rafter. Not somewhere you want to be with a sociopath that
sees carnage as good sport.
Skinny faces the wall. Bound by ropes attached to each of
his arms and legs.
Julian stands behind, next to a steel table piled with rusty
cutting tools.
Julian removes the gag.
Skinny, in between confused as fuck and scared shitless --

SKINNY
How the fuck?

Find a way.
Skinny tries to shake his cloths off. Useless.
SKINNY
I can’t do it!
JULIAN
Try harder.
Skinny shakes harder. Still no progress.
SKINNY
I can’t!
Julian grabs a hammer and hits it against the steel table.
JULIAN
Hurry up!
Skinny shakes like crazy. Clothes still very attached.
It's no use, he gives up and tears fall.

Julian approaches Skinny. Now calm and collective.

STEEL SCRAPING CONCRETE. Julian pushes a table up next to
Peter. Unties his right hand.
JULIAN
Put your hand on the table.
Peter, hesitantly, places his hand on the table. Looks back

JULIAN
Don’t look at me.
Peter looks forward and then straight back at Julian.
Julian picks up his gun, points it at Peter’s butt.
Peter looks forward. Shuts his eyes. Petrified. Crying.
JULIAN

An AXE POUNDS the table one centimeter from PETER’S hand.
PETER
One, six, three, eight, five!

Julian cuts Peter free with a rusty knife. It takes some
effort.
Peter drops to the ground, looks at his hand. It’s fine.
JULIAN

Peter makes his way to his way to his feet, undressing
himself. Slowly.
JULIAN
Hurry up.

A clock on the wall tells the time of 11:30 am.

INT. ALISTER & CARRICK’S HOME - DAWN
A small, dilapidated room. Penises spray painted on the
walls. A torn up couch, a little box TV plays cartoons and
two single beds at each end furnish the shit hole. Written
all over a nudie poster on the wall: “THE WEIRD”
ALISTER, early 30s, shaved black hair, wears a beat up
collared shirt with a set of aviators. No pants on, just
undies. He flicks a lighter, trying to light a crack pipe.
He sits next to his brother:
CARRICK, early 30s, malnourished, but could be good looking
with a bit of effort. Wears a novelty shirt and like his
brother, isn’t a fan of pants.
Both men speak with strong COCKNEY accents at 100 mph.
Alister eventually lights the pipe, takes a hit, then blows
a cloud of smoke above his head. Relaxed.
Alister the pipe to Carrick. Carrick indulges.

CARRICK

The fucks he doin' Millhaven?
ALISTER
Fucks me, mate, but we better think
of something A S A fuckin’ P.
CARRICK
How the fuck are we gonna steal this
thing? It’s in a heavily guarded
museum, three hundred fuckin’ miles
away. We ain't got a chance.
ALISTER
(blowing out smoke )
Well, for a start, you're gonna have
to stop being a pessimist cunt and
turn that negativity into confidence
towards our situation, or else we're
all fucked.
Alister stands.
ALISTER
We’re also gonna need a bigger gun.
A compact pistol sits on a bong ridden table. Alister picks
it up and shakes his head at it.
ALISTER
We need a magnum or some other hand
cannon with a mean kick back. Pop one
of them off and every git will
scatter like nuns in a whore house.
Alister laughs at his own joke.
CARRICK
It’s just to spook people isn’t it?
You ain’t gonna shoot anyone?
ALISTER
I don’t want to, but, if we're
confronted with a situation where I
have to choose between us or them,
it’s gonna be them.

ALISTER (cont'd)
And if I rock into a museum with two
dozen armed guards with this thing, I
may as well shoot myself.
Carrick nods agreeably.
CARRICK
Are you sure, Alister? This ain’t no
run-of-the-mill robbery we’re talking
about ‘ere.
ALISTER
It ain’t about me, bruv. I ain’t
letting some fuckin’ spics kill our
little bruvva for a mess we lead him
into.
CARRICK
We ain’t lead him into shit, he got
himself in this mess and here we are
fixing the fuckin’ situation.
ALISTER
It's our fault he's in this
predicament. He's a good kid with
alota potential. His only downfall is
that he idolized us and we lead him
into the fuckin’ gutter via drugs and
gamblin'. Our oldies would turn in
their grave if we turned our back on
him, now.
Carrick agrees. Stands.
CARRICK
You’re right, bruv. We need to
protect him. It's our duty as family.

CARRICK
So, how we go about getting a magnum,
Einstein?
Carrick takes over the wheel.
ALISTER
Well, it's simple really, we gonna
rob some shitty little service
stations for everything they have in
the till, then we’re gonna take our
little skinny white asses to a big
ol’ gun store and buy one.
CARRICK
Hang on a fuckin’ tik. You want to
rob service stations for money to buy
a gun?
ALISTER
Yeah.
CARRICK
Why don’t we just rob a fuckin’ gun
store?
ALISTER
Because, those gun store owners are
fuckin’ maniacs. Last year I tried to
hold up a gun store with that shitty
compact pistol you call a fuckin’

shotgun the size of me fuckin’ leg.

or nothing. They don’t hit the bag or
do whatever the fuck they do. They
calm themselves. So when they get
into that ring, they ain’t all tense.
They’re level headed. They’re ready.

That’s your ring, bruv. There’s a lot
at stake here, a lot on your
shoulders. You don’t want to be

head.
NEPHEW
Why a strip club, Grayson?
Grayson, close to imploding.
NEPHEW
You know, I ain’t ever been a fan of
titty bars. They give me blue balls.
You ever get that, honkey?
Grayson’s got no idea.
NEPHEW
Nah, you ain’t ever had blue balls.
Being a good looking dude with all
the money in the world, daddy being
as powerful as he is. Yeah, I bet you
seen a lot of ass in your time. You
ever fucked a stripper, Grayson?
Grayson, calming down.
NEPHEW
How much ya pay? Five hundred? One
thousand? One hundred? Those hundred
dollar strippers are nasty. I like my
strippers at the thousand mark. They
the good ones, but I ain’t ever paid
for sex before. I like to earn my
pussy.
Grayson, more confused than scared.
NEPHEW
So, contrary to what everyone
believes, us gangsters don’t like
paying for sex all that much. Which
brings me back as to why I don’t
indulge in strip clubs. Them sexy
girls, they be grinding up on you,
rubbing their pussies on your dick,
flaunting them big ass titties in
your face.
(MORE)
(CONTINUED)
98.
CONTINUED:
NEPHEW (cont'd)
You can grab a hold of them titties,
sometimes they even let ya suck on
‘em, but ya can’t fuck ‘em. It’s like
going to a fancy restaurant and
ordering a big juicy steak. And then
just looking at it. It’s cooked to
perfection, just waiting to have it’s
ass eaten, but you can’t. You can
touch it, you can smell it, but you
just can’t fucking eat it.
Other Gangster laughs, Nephew joins in.

them.

Grayson shakes his head.
NEPHEW
Ain’t nothing to laugh about.
Grayson agrees.
NEPHEW
Alright, I’m going to stop fucking
with you. You gone and fucked up real
good, boy. You went against not only
your father, but my uncle too. You
know who my uncle is?
Grayson nods.
NEPHEW
Now, we been in contact with your old
man and everyone's willing to forget
about your little charade if you do
us one thing.

A picture of Julian.
Grayson recognizes him.
(CONTINUED)
99.
CONTINUED:
NEPHEW
You know him?
GRAYSON
Yeah. A freak.
NEPHEW
A freak is damn right, nigger. If
John Wayne Gacy and Ted Bundy had a
love child, it would be this fool. I
once seen him super glue thumbtacks
to a mans hand and made his jack off
with it.
Grayson, disgusted.
GRAYSON
What do you want me to do?
NEPHEW
What the fuck you think? We need this
crazy ass cracker taken the fuck out.
Grayson, nervous. Stutters.
GRAYSON
How am I meant to find him?
NEPHEW
Mother fucker intercepted some
important shit regarding the watch
and it’s buyers. He’ll be there
tomorrow to make a mess. I’d go
myself, but hell, mother fucker
scares the shit out of me.
GRAYSON
Surely you have someone more capable?
NEPHEW
You’re expendable, cocoa puff. I’ll
lay it out for your dumb ass. You got
two options. Option one: You kill
him. Option two: We kill you. If you
possess any self preservation, you’ll
do it and do it without asking why,
who or what the fuck.
Nephew pulls out a Colt. Takes aim on Grayson.
