FRANK:

(looking junkie in his eyes)

Come with me. From now on you live

with me. We gonna get through this

together, no matter if I have to

take you to hell with me.

INT. FRANKS CONDO - MOMENTS LATER

Franks gets out a beat up blow up mattress for the junkie, WILLIAM.

WILLIAM:

I want to thank you Frank. For

helping me again.

FRANK:

Don’t worry about it, I kind of

need the company.

WILLIAM:

So, what’s next?

FRANK:

Well right now, you just focus on

staying out the streets and

getting yourself clean.

Frank opens a briefcase which has his vest, guns, tasers etc.

WILLIAM:

Where you going?

FRANK:

I have to stop by the pit to ask

some questions I’m sure somebody

out there knows something

WILLIAM:

Anything I can do while I’m here

FRANK:

Yeah eat and get some rest and you

better be here when I get back if

not, I will arrest your ass.

WILLIAM:

Yeah, yeah. I got it

INT. THE PIT - MOMENTS LATER- NIGHT

Franks parks down the road from The Pit. The Pit is located in downtown

Deadtide, where most of the neighborhood and population is made up of

homeless people and junkies.

Frank gets out of his car and goes to the back of his truck to open his

black suitcase where he gets his 9mm pistol. He puts it in his right

coat pocket and he also grabs his 22 pistol to clip under his ankle of

his right pants leg.

17.

Frank closes the door to the truck, puts a cigarette to his mouth, and

walks the neighborhood hoping to find something suspicious.

EXT.DETECTIVE RODGERS HOME

Detective Rodgers walks around his house with a cozy outfit drinking a

cup of coffee until he stops in the master bedroom where he sees his

wife Rebecca.

REBECCA:

Honey you need some sleep.

Detective Rodgers goes and lays down on his wife stomach.

DETECTIVE RODGERS

I know it’s just-

(sigh)

-ever since I’ve had this badge,

all I ever wanted to be is a good

detective and weed out the evil in

this town.

REBECCA:

You have. You put away many

criminals and solved a bunch of

cases don’t go feeling like it’s

your first case or whatever, babe.

I go to sleep feeling so safe

knowing Deadtides’ best detective

is right here next to me.

Thanks.

DETECTIVE RODGERS

(he kiss Rebecca)

This case just feels different.

This is not like the others,

normal perks your average crimes,

nothing like this one.

Detective Rodgers gets up from his wife stomach to get a pack of

cigarettes from the dresser.

REBECCA:

Look at you. When did you start

that back up?

DETECTIVE RODGERS

After this case I’ll quit again

but right now I’m f***ing

stressed. We have no leads, no

witnesses no nothing and for god

sakes we don’t even know who the

hell we’re looking for.

Detective Rodgers flops down on his bed and gets into a fetal position.

INT. THE PIT - MOMENTS LATER

Frank walks up to an old door and knocks.

MYSTERY THUG:

(through the door)

You’re on the wrong side of town.

FRANK:

Nah I think this the right place.

THUG #1

Yo this the PD.

(whispering)

Yo bag that sh*t up.

FRANK:

C’mon I’m not here for that and if

I was, I wouldn’t of knock. Let me

in, I need to talk to Pedro.

THUG #1

Pedro not here. Like I said, wrong

house.

Frank steps back pulls out his gun and shoots the handles off the door.

He kicks the door down and aims his pistol at Thug #1.

THUG #1

Yo! Yo! Yo! Chill, chill! Don’t

shoot!

FRANK:

Look what you made me? I asked to

see Pedro.

Three thugs stand around the living room, surrounding Frank. Their guns

are pointed in his direction.

FRANK:

C’mon guys take me to Pedro I

really don’t want to have to do my

job, please.

THUG #2

Just say the word

FRANK:

(smiling)

A part of me that was living died

a long time ago so by you pulling

that trigger you would be doing me

a favor

19.

PEDRO (O.S)

Yo if this PD why the motherf***er

not dead yet. I told y’all lazy

motherfuckers, don’t let anyone

interrupt business. Who is it?

FRANK:

It’s Frank!

All the thugs in the room look confused.

THUG #1

You know this puto?

PEDRO:

(surprise)

Yo get the f*** out of here! Let

him in. I know this pig.

The thugs walk Frank to the kitchen where they were bagging up cocaine.

PEDRO:

I thought you retired?

FRANK:

Well I’m back... just one last

job.

PEDRO:

I can’t believe it’s really you. I

thought you hit the high road when

you left narcotics for Homicide

FRANK:

Nah I just been up under your

nose. Your drug ring is not my

business anymore.

PEDRO:

Enough of the catching up. What

really brings you to my place of

business?

FRANK:

AA stripper was murdered a couple

of days ago and I was wondering

what’s the deal on that?

PEDRO:

What stripper? Be specific. I deal

with a lot of girls in and out of

this town.
