                    He said...,Oh, I’ve to go.                             
                                                                           
          David runs toward his car.

          David holds a TV remote in his hands, punching on buttons.       
                                                                           
          Suddenly, we hear a clattering sound of a window glass being     
          broken. David eyes go wide. He starts breathing heavily,         
          scans the room.                                                  
                                                                           
          The sound is heard again but this time its from the              
          upstairs. David, moves purringly around and then goes            
          upstairs, carefully placing his feet, gently herds up on         
          stairs.

          We pan across a room. The cupboard on the wall is wide open,     
          with clothes falling out of it on the floor. We end the pan      
          with a window being broken. David rushes toward it but only      
          to see his cat being killed. A knife is still in her body        
          and she is squatted in blood. David stuns with bewilderment.

          David rushes back  but slips upon the stairs and rolls down      
          onto the floor.

          He manages himself to get up, screams with pain but              
          reaches  to grab the phone.

          line and in the course they hit on to a road side protection     
          iron bar. The car ceases to stop. The radiator goes busted.

                    I say, get off.

                    What if I don’t...?                                    
                                                                           
          David pulls out .38 revolver and gets closer to them.

                    Then, I’ll shoot you, right here.                      
                                                                           
          Irvin laughs his lungs out.

          Irvin pulls up his gun in a flash of a second.

          David looses his temper. His face turns red. He pulls on a       
          trigger...                                                       
                                                                           
          Irvin adjusts his grounds.                                       
                                                                           
          Carla runs to end up in between them.

          Irvin pushes her back and takes his position.

          The fire is shot. We stay on Carla, who starts crying.

          David sleeps on his bed. We see, the lever of the door           
          slides down slowly, making a crinkling sound.                    
                                                                           
          We can see by his body gesture, a faint shiver run through       
          his body. David gets up in a hurry, holds on his weapon and      
          runs toward the door.  He stops for a moment and then pulls      
          to open the door in a flash.  He sees nothing there.             
                                                                           
          Suddenly he hears, a roar of a car being started. He runs up     
          to the window to look down.  There is a man with a big           
          mustache, in the car, struggling to get off. David stuns...

          Sam takes on the target and fires two shots in a succession.     
          The front big glass window shatters, falling into tiny

                                                                 11.       
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
          We pull back and are left with the wide angle shot of Irvin      
          and Carla, exchanging expressions of anger. We don’t hear        
          them.

          David watches T.V, playing with the remote control.              
          Switching over to channels... He gets up, and moves into the     
          kitchen.

          He opens up the refrigerator, grabs a juice.                     
                                                                           
          Suddenly he hears a strange sound. He runs out of the            
          kitchen, leaving the juice behind on the table.

          He slows down his pace, comes nearer to the entrance door.       
                                                                           
          The door lever slides down.... He watches it in some fear,       
          reaches for a golf stick and gets ready to attack. Takes his     
          position...                                                      
                                                                           
          The door opens. MAC enters from the dark. We don’t see his       
          face yet. David smashes the stick on his shoulder, topples       
          him over. David comes down again on him beating up, but to       
          realize Mac at once,as the camera CU on him.

                    It’s me, Mac. Easy, David.

                    Yeah man, me. Cool down, it’s ok.                      
                                                                           
          David pulls him up with his hand.

                    What the hell are you doing here at                    
                    this time of night?                                    
                                                                           
          Both walk to sit on the sofa. David throws away the stick        
          onto the sofa.

                    you.

                    We’re buddies. Aren’t we?

                    You think so. I’ve heard listening                     
                    that you hate me?

                         (laughs)                                          
                    Really! That’s correct but it’s                        
                    nothing profound.                                      
                                                                           
          Mac stands on his heel, picks up the golf stick and touches      
          it reverently.

                    Profound? What does that mean?                         
                                                                           
          Mac moves closer to David, holding the stick. He raises the      
          stick high in air and a gesture of his hand gives us a look      
          as if he is going to smash it on David’s head.

                    Those were college days when I hate                    
                    you because you were a golf                            
                    champion and I had never won                           
                    against you.                                           
                                                                           
          He throws away the stick on the wall in anger.

                    Man you were great.                                    
                                                                           
          David smiles, goes into the kitchen. We stay at Mac, who         
          looks aimlessly across the room. David returns with a couple     
          pack of juices. Throws one over to Mac. Both start drinking      
          in sips.

                    car. I figured out you because of

          Suddenly, from nowhere, we see a train of bullets being          
          fired. David helps himself to roll back on the sofa. Mac         
          gets hit and he falls down. The firing continues, piercing       
          walls from everywhere, breaking glasses, pots, a t.v             
          and  the hanging pictures on the wall.                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           

                                                                 15.       
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
          The firing halts after a few moments. David comes running to     
          Mac. The blood gushes out of his head like a fast flowing        
          stream. David touches his body, that turns cold and his          
          breath goes out.                                                 
                                                                           
                                                                           
          EXT. CITY ROADS - DAY                                            
                                                                           
          David’s car moves very fast on the city roads. The car           
          wiggles left and right. The camera shows a wide angle shot       
          of his car, hiding in the dust at the far end of the             
          highway.                                                         
                                                                           
                                                                           
          EXT. IRVIN’S HOME - DAY                                          
                                                                           
          David’s car ceases to stop. He comes out and with quick          
          feet, he enters Irvin’s home.                                    
                                                                           
                                                                           
          INT. IRVIN’S HOME- DAY                                           
                                                                           
          David comes in, finds no one out there. Silence...               
                                                                           
                              DAVID

                    Irvin...                                               
                                                                           
          David moves purringly around.                                    
                                                                           
                              DAVID(CONT’D)                                
                    Irvin, you there...? Come out you                      
                    rascal. You just killed my friend.                     
                                                                           
          A smashing sound out of some object being thrown, alerts         
          David. He reaches his .38 revolver. Suddenly the back door       
          wide opens and Irvin enters, holding his rifle.                  
                                                                           
          David sees him coming, shoots on him. Irvin manages to get       
          away and hides behind a wall.                                    
                                                                           
                              IRVIN (O.S)                                  
                    David, you don’t have  the                             
                    slightest of an idea of what’s                         
                    going on your back.                                    
                                                                           
                              DAVID                                        
                    You can’t put it away by spitting                      
                    out some fucking dumb words.                           
                                                                           
          Irvin appears on the corner of the frame. David shoots at        
          him again. He helps himself to get out of the range.             
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           

                                                                 16.       
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
                              IRVIN (O.S)                                  
                    Don’t mess up things, boy.                             
                                                                           
                              DAVID                                        
                    Shut up! Come out, you scoundrel.                      
                    I’ll kill you.                                         
                                                                           
                              IRVIN(O.S)                                   
                    If you say so,okay, baby, I’m                          
                    coming right there.                                    
                                                                           
          David comes closer to the wall where Irvin hides but to his      
          astonishment he finds no one there.                              
                                                                           
          Suddenly from his back , he hears a groaning voice.              
                                                                           
                              IRVIN                                        
                    Here, I’m.                                             
                                                                           
          David turns and shoots aimlessly at him. Irvin finds his         
          position and shoots back at him hitting on his arm. David        
          falls down. Blood runs down on his body. He looses his           
          weapon  on the ground. Irvin comes closer, flares his rifle      
          at him.                                                          
                                                                           
                              IRVIN (CONT’D)                               
                    I’m not ordered to kill you,                           
                    otherwise you have been part of the                    
                    floor.                                                 
                                                                           
          Carla appears from the corner of the frame, holding a gun.

                    He’s right. I didn’t want you to be                    
                    killed.

                    You know why I didn’t want him to                      
                    kill you because I’ll do it on my                      
                    own.

                    Why, Carla? What’s going on?

                    You had been so rude to me in

                    gonna kill you, son of a bitch.                        
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           

                                                                 19.       
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
          David struggles to reach his weapon. Sam shoots at him,          
          injuring his hand. Sam pulls off his mask. David screams...      
                                                                           
                              DAVID                                        
                    Sam, you...?                                           
                                                                           
                              CARLA                                        
                    Yes, that’s him.                                       
                                                                           
          Sam flares his gun at him.                                       
                                                                           
                              SAM                                          
                    Get ready!                                             
                                                                           
                              CARLA                                        
                    No, Sam. He’s my prey. It’s a next                     
                    best thing to putting a bullet                         
                    clear through his head. Let me                         
                    finish.                                                
                                                                           
          Carla points her automatic at him. Pulls the trigger...          
                                                                           
          We hear a staccato roar. Carla falls down with a squeal. Her     
          breath comes in gasps and eventually stops. BOSS appears         
          from behind Carla, holding his gun with a smoke billowing up     
          from the barrel.                                                 
                                                                           
          David gets up in the mean time, runs to hit Irvin in his         
          belly ruthlessly, knocks him over.                               
                                                                           
          Sam opens fire at Boss, who flings himself out of line.          
                                                                           
          David smacks a series of hard punches across Irvin’s             
          face,manages to hold on his gun, slams again across the face     
          with the butt, shattering his jawbone and ripping his mouth      
          apart,leaving him unconscience, gasping in pain.                 
                                                                           
          Boss and Sam exchange  a series of fire at each other. David     
          helps himself to get on the Boss side and joins him.             
                                                                           
                              DAVID                                        
                    Sam, don’t make it a shooting                          
                    match. I assure, you will go down                      
                    dead.                                                  
                                                                           
          David opens the fire at Sam.                                     
                                                                           
          Sam gets one bullet clean through his head, blood gushes out     
          of his mouth and he lays dead.                                   
                                                                           
                              DAVID                                        
                    Thanks boss!

                    As soon as I received your call, I                     
                    started following you and and                          
                    thanks God you’re safe.

                    Yah, a  few wounds, but not much                       
                    significant.                                           
                                                                           
          Both pass by Carla’s dead body.

                    You were such a softy, Carla.

                    The plot was great. That’s why I
