(MUFFLED HIP-HOP PLAYING)

What the f***? What the

f*** are you doing?

Wait, wait, what are you...

Get on the floor!

Get on the f***ing floor!

Oh, my God! F***!

All right. All right, I'll

see you tomorrow. All right.

(GRANDFATHER CLOCK CHIMING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(SIGHS)

Are you alone?

What's going on?

Don't look at me.

Turn around.

We're gonna get in your car

and you're just

gonna keep driving.

Don't talk to me, or I'll shoot

you in the back of your head.

Go.

Turn around.

Turn around.

How did you get into my house?

AJ let me in.

Is he okay?

(LOUDLY) Is he?

Give me your wallet.

Where's your wallet?

It's in my jacket.

Give me your jacket.

You want my wallet?

Here, take my wallet.

Want my jacket? My jacket.

Get on your knees.

What did you do to my son?

Get on your f***ing knees!

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Close your eyes.

Close your eyes.

Please, just tell me

my son's all right.

This isn't about

your f***ing son.

(SOBBING)

I'm sorry, Jason.

(SOBBING) I'm sorry.

FEMALE NEWSREADER: It was

a tight race for over a year

between Cross and Kellerman,

and then unprecedented events

over the last month

made to threaten

Cross' election bid.

First, allegations of underage

drinking at his house,

and then a violent robbery from

a yet-unidentified intruder

that left his son hospitalized

with a concussion.

Remarkably, Cross has managed

to right his campaign,

and now, as you see,

the District Attorney

has just won the election

for Attorney General.

We will go live now

as Senator McFarley prepares

to address

the crowd of supporters.

(ALL CHEERING)

I've had the honor of knowing

Avery Cross since he was a boy.

(SPEECH CONTINUES

INDISTINCTLY)

Ladies and gentlemen, it's my

pleasure and my greatest honor

to introduce

the next Attorney General

of the state of New York, Avery Cross!

Go. Curtain.

All right, AJ, you gotta go.

You gotta go out there.

There's a flag.

Go. Go where the kid is. Go.

(ALL APPLAUDING)

(CROWD CHEERING)

Thank you!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

(ALL CHANTING)

Avery! Avery! Avery!

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

MAN:
Yeah?

Mr. Anthony?

Yeah.

Hey, I, uh... I called you, said

I was gonna be out here today.

Oh, right, of course.

Yeah. Well, you're early.

Yeah. There's only, like,

one bus headed out here.

So...

You're not from

around here, huh?

No. I'm headed out west.

So you ready?

Wanna go take a look at it?

Yeah.

I'll just get my coat.

All right.

All right.

It runs great.

It's got a lot of miles on it, but

I kept up with the maintenance.

How much you want for it?

Well, I was thinking

I need five.

All right.

You ever ridden

one of these before?
