Breaking In Page #4

- 30 f***ing minutes,

and the cops show up.

Either we do

what's gotta be done,

or we turn ourselves in.

- Why would she tell us where the safe is?

- Who f***ing cares?

She's smart.

Knows how to handle herself.

She knows about Peter.

(MUFFLED MOANING)

(ELECTRONIC CHIMING CONTINUES)

(BEEP)

Hello, Shaun.

SHAUN (OVER INTERCOM): You

find what you were looking for?

I did.

SHAUN:

Tree line, side of the house.

(LINE CLICKS)

There she is.

(PANTING)

Got to say, I didn't think

you'd make it this far.

Yeah, you and everybody else.

Growing up in this house,

the man your father was...

- Guess I was wrong.

- Still, you must be wondering

if I'm capable

of killing this man.

And that depends

on what you want

and what you're willing

to do to get it.

You know exactly what I want.

Otherwise, we wouldn't be

standing here.

Where are the other two?

In the house.

You're smarter than that.

Tell them to step out

into the light.

You heard the lady.

Now, your friend here,

he's losing a lot of blood.

I don't know

if you care about his life,

but I do know that you care

that he's the only one

who knows how to open the safe.

Listen, Shaun...

I want to end this

as much as you do.

Great.

You tell my children

to come outside.

And you don't touch them.

We'll walk into the woods,

and you don't follow.

When we're in the clear,

I'll let him go.

And how do I know

I can trust you?

You don't. But you know you'll

do whatever you have to do,

because there's

nothing else you can do.

You're a man at the mercy

of a woman, whose...

greatest weakness has a

f***ing saw to his throat.

(SHAUN SHRIEKS)

(GUNSHOT)

Let her go.

(PANTING)

Keep running, Shaun!

You just killed your kids!

Their blood is on your hands!

SAM:
The assistant kept

encrypted copies of his codes

at her apartment.

The computer runs

a dummy protocol.

Peter wrote a new code

that'll bypass

the safe security lock.

Theoretically.

- (KEYBOARD CLICKS)

- How long is this gonna take?

30 seconds.

If it works.

(COMPUTER BEEPING)

(LOCK CLICKING, WHIRRING)

(LOCK CLANKS, BEEPS)

We're in.

(BREATHY CHUCKLE)

So that's what

the American dream looks like.

Bag it.

(LIQUID SPATTERING)

Tie the kids to their beds.

Light the house on fire.

(MUFFLED WHIMPERING)

Just another family tragedy.

Hey.

Be honest, I don't like this

any more than you do.

But it has to be done.

And that bag

you're holding means

life without worry

from here on out.

No more 12-hour shifts.

No more sucking up

to those rich motherfuckers

who think they're better

than you are.

No more being on your knees.

- Don't look at them.

- (MUFFLED WHIMPERING)

They don't matter.

Look at me.

I said look at me.

We good?

All right,

- let's get this done.

- Sha bop sha bop

What the f*** was that?

(OVER SPEAKERS):

Sha bop sha bop

Sha bop sha bop...

This b*tch doesn't know

when to give up.

Stay here.

Are the stars...

You find her...

you cut her in f***ing half.

Sha bop sha bop

I don't know

if it's cloudy or bright

(JASMINE CRYING)

I only have eyes

For you

Dear

Sha bop sha bop

The moon may

- Sha bop sha bop

- Be high

Sha bop sha bop

But I can't see a thing

- Sha bop sha bop

- In the sky

I only have eyes

For you

(MUSIC CONTINUES IN DISTANCE)

Ah...

I don't know if

We're in a garden

Ah...

Or on a crowded

(WOODY WOODPECKER LAUGHING

OVER TV)

Avenue

Screw this b*tch.

Sha bop sha bop

You are here

Sha bop sha bop

And so am I

(MUFFLED GRUNTING)

Sha bop sha bop

Maybe millions of people

Sha bop sha bop

Go by

But they all disappear

(IN DISTANCE):

From view...

Shut up!

(MUFFLED GRUNTING)

Shut up.

- Shut up!

- (MUFFLED GRUNT)

- I said shut up!

- (MUSIC STOPS)

(ROOF CREAKS)

(PANTING)

- Shh, shh, shh.

- (MUFFLED WHIMPER)

(QUIET CREAK)

(MUFFLED WHIMPERING)

(MUFFLED WHIMPERING)

(MUFFLED WHIMPERING)

I'm coming.

I'm coming. Mom's coming.

Mom's coming, okay?

I'll be right there.

I'll be right back.

Going somewhere?

No, I was just... just...

You were what?

There was a...

a noise.

Where?

I'm gonna drop the rope down.

Okay? I'm gonna drop

the rope down.

(DUNCAN GRUNTS,

SHAUN SHRIEKS)

(MUFFLED SOBBING)

(PANTING)

(SAW CLATTERS IN DISTANCE)

There's nowhere left to go.

(GLOVER GASPS)

Sh*t.

No, you-you don't

have to do this.

First time is the hardest.

You got what you came here for.

Just... you can just leave.

She's right.

There's no reason

she has to die.

They all gotta die.

(JASMINE GASPS)

Go, go.

(CRYING):

You're not a killer.

You don't want to do this.

Please.

I don't know, man.

Do it, or you're f***ing next.

Go. Hurry. Hurry.

(SCREAMS) Let me go!

(EDDIE GRUNTS)

Stop!

Last chance.

Yeah. All right.

EDDIE:

Relax, kid.

(PANTING)

I'm not gonna hurt you.

"We tie the kids to their beds,

light the house on fire"?

If I wanted you dead,

you'd be dead already.

I want to get you out of this.

But you're gonna

have to trust me.

So just relax, okay?

Give me... give me the gun.

Put the gun down.

- Shoot him! Shoot him!

- Give me the gun.

Give me the gun.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(SHRIEKS, GRUNTS)

(BANGING ON DOOR)

(PANTING)

Jasmine! Glover! Jas!

JASMINE:

Mom!

Mom!

SHAUN:

Keep running, babe!

Go! Go!

Keep going! Run!

Come on!

Come on, come on, come on!

We're almost there!

(CAR ALARM CHIRPS)

Okay, get in.

Come on, Glov, hurry.

Put your head down, Glov.

Get down.

(IGNITION SPUTTERING)

- (ENGINE STARTS)

- Mom!

Oh, God!

(DUNCAN GRUNTS)

- (GUNSHOT)

- (SCREAMING)

(ENGINE SPUTTERS)

(ENGINE IDLING)

Go! Go! Go! Go!

JASMINE:

Mom, Mom, front door!

- Okay, come on! Come on!

- (BEEPING)

(GRUNTING)

(LOCK CLICKS)

(MECHANICAL THUMPING, WHIRRING)

(MECHANICAL THUMPING)

(WHIRRING STOPS)

- Mom?

- They got what they came here for.

They got their money.

They're gonna leave us alone.

Mom. Mom.

(GUNSHOT OUTSIDE)

- EDDIE:
I'm gonna get in the house, Shaun!

- (GUNSHOT)

I will get in that house!

We're safe now, okay?

We're okay now, okay?

We're safe.

(VEHICLE APPROACHING)

Okay.

Mom?

Just stay here, okay?

Oh, no.

No.

No. Justin.

No. Baby, no.

Shaun? Shaun!

No! Justin!

Shaun.

- Run! Run!

- Shaun! Shaun!

- Run!

- Open the door. Open the door.

- Run! Run!

- What is going on? Open...

- Open the door.

- EDDIE:
It's been a hell of a night.

(SOBBING)

So... where are the keys?

Who are you?

What do you want?

- Where... are the keys?

- My wife...

- (BONE CRACKS)

- (JUSTIN SCREAMS)

- Daddy?

- Kids, get back!

EDDIE:

I know you can hear me.

Obviously, you can see me.

Open the door,

or I am going

to kill your husband

in front of you

and your f***ing kids.

You don't want to see him die.

Don't do it, Shaun!

Don't listen to him!

Look, you're

an impressive woman.

You've done everything you can.

You've done enough.

JASMINE:

Mom.

- Mom, just give him the money.

- He's gonna kill us anyway.

You don't know that, Mom.
