EXT. NIGHT CLUB REX – NIGHT
It is 2:00 a.m. in New York City, and the party is just getting started in Club Rex, a well known club for drug dealers as well as drug users.
Its exterior is dim lit, and looks like almost any other brick 2 story building within New York City, it has two walls that go for 25 feet each, and in the middle lye two massive brown colored doors.
The block itself, is dingy. It has the occasional scattered few walk along the garbage coated side walk that is Rook Street. Opposite the club are two family detached homes, some look run down, others well kept, and some with gated windows while others do not.
The air itself is filled with dance music from the club; which is not one of the attractive things that has people running to live anywhere near there. So therefore many people who do live near Club Rex have petitioned for them to be closed.
P.O.V NIGHT CLUB REX – CONTINUIS
As the camera moves forward, the two large door’s open to reveal a extremely large two story party central area. Through the jam packed crowed of intoxicated people, a large square bar can be seen. The bar contains all the usual things as well as two clean cut young guy’s flipping the bottles and pouring the drinks. Then on the right side wall a large stage is set up where the dj plays his music. The dj at the present moment has his head phones leaning on his shoulder as his ear presses up against it, so that his hands are free to change the disc. As well as many intelligent lights beaming off of everything. Finally in the back is a small door.
The camera then again moves forward to now actually go through the massive crowed, people are holding there drinks up dancing, and some doing drugs. We sweep by the bar, where a person is sniffing some cocaine, no one even looks, it’s the natural thing to do, then we go through the crowed some more until we reach the door, where a women’s hand comes down, she is dancing on top of a table.
GIRL ONE
(Seductive)
Ya wanna dance.
The door in the back then opens to reveal a small office, not a lot in it, a desk, file cabinet, stack of papers, and a folding chair on the side of the desk. Nothing compared to what was seen in the main clubbing area.
Then two guys who are at the sides of the desk go over to the still unknown man with open arms, where they then seemingly check him for weapons. They both move to the side, to reveal a fat white fellow in a nice suit, by the name of Tony, he is the owner of the club, as we well as a major drug dealer.
Tony with a smile on his face...
A large brief case is set down on the desk, and then opened, by the still unknown man. Then Tony takes out a little baggy it contains a white powder substance, possibly cocaine he opens the bag then sticks his pinky in it and licks his pinky.
He sits back in his chair, and then looks up to the still unknown man...
TONY
Good as always.
Tony then passes the brief case to one of the large associates who counts the amount of bags.
Now we begin to see the back of Dave’s head, he is a large club as well as person to person drug dealer. He is 6’0, pretty thin, works out a little; all and all he is in good shape. His jet black hair always combed back, with tanned face and tattooed upper arm. He is also dressed in a suit, with out the jacket.
Dave then takes a chair from the side of the desk and sits down upon it.
One of the muscular men who were counting looks over to his boss.
MUSCULAR MAN #1
There’s one missing.
DAVE
I thought it was all there, are you
Sure.
MUSCULAR MAN #1
(Intimidating)
Yea, I’m sure.
DAVE
(Directed at Tony)
Tony I’m sorry I thought it was all
There.
TONY
It’s all right, shit happens.
A brief case similar in looks is brought up from behind the desk by Tony. Tony opens up the brief case and takes out a couple of hundreds, and then slides it over to Dave.
TONY (CONT’D)
(As Tony puts the
money in his pocket)
Hope you don’t mind.
Dave then opens the suit case to find all twenties and hundreds. All in neat stacks from one end of the brief case to the other.
With a quick and sudden action the door is abruptly open by a club employee. A medium height and build guy, not a hair out of place.
EMPLOYEE #1
We got another one.
Everyone looks over to him in almost shock. Then Tony with a smile back on his face.
Then the employee taken back for some reason, as if he knows what is going on.
EMPLOYEE #1
A guy.
TONY
Well take him to the hospital.
INT. NIGHT CLUB REX – MOMENTS LATER
A person is on the floor convulsing and such, obviously he has fallen victim to a over dose, it is a young person no more than 25.

Mike’s face shows a site of relief. He closes the door to the same position in which he found it and continues to walk out the door.
EXT. SIDE WALK – LATER
With the music of the theme song playing...
It is a pleasant day out, not to be said for the neighborhood in which it is in. Mike is walking to school, as he walks puddles lye on the street, as well as garbage. Houses with gates surrounding it. A couple of guy’s playing dice on the sidewalk, as a cop car passes by.
As Mike walks a little frothier laying in wait is Eric, Mike’s close friend as well as bad influence. Eric is by a 6 story building with his foot up on the wall, as Mike comes up to him, they give each other a hood like hug.
The music stops as Mike and Eric start walking, although the same basic sits are still there.

He hands it to Mike who takes a hit. Then they hear a girls voice, it is Sabrina, a good looking girl, whom comes from an abusive back round. She walks up the stairs to find them smoking, they are almost stunned, and she then walks the other way, quickly obviously frightened.

DAVE (CONT’D)

Doing that any more.
SABRINA

He then turns around, she sees it and screams. Although the screams fall on death’s ear. He then starts the motion of stabbing her. As he is almost stabbing her, they fall into the darkness of the room; all you can hear are her screams. A couple of moments later we see the man emerge, and run away.
INT. HOSPITAL WAITING ROOM – LATER
Eric and Michael are in a regular packed hospital waiting room. They are sitting on a couple of chairs next to other people. They both look extremely worried. We then see some people come out of the large swinging doors, which exit you from where the doctors are located. We see a man holding up his wife, as she screams, for loosing her child.
MOTHER
(screaming through
her agony and tears)
My child, my baby, give me back her.

CUT TO:
INT. LIVING ROOM OF THE APARTMENT – MORNING
The sun light pierces through, Michael is still on the floor, and then we hear the door open. Eric walks in, although he looks kind of tired, but he is absolutely ready for the day ahead.

The black man leads, when we looks down, when we look down we see that he has a pistol in his hand.
We can almost tell that no one, could possibly live down here, yet the black man does. There are pipes on the ceiling, the walls have cracks in them, the lighting is extremely dim, and puddles with mice and rats lay on the floor.
We pass up our first room; it is a weed growing room. Inside of the room, there is dozens of plants being grown, using the most up to date technology, and of course a few mice in there as well.
We keep walking till we pass up another of the same room.
Then we enter a much more lit area, the kitchen. It is a old style kitchen with old appliances and such.
BLACK MAN
Sit down.
Eric sits at the two seat table.
The black man, then goes over to the closet, he takes out a grounded black pepper container.
He then walks over to the table kind of slowly.
The black man then sits down. He opens the container; he then turns it up side down, to reveal little baggies of marijuana.

Theme music...
They guys are still on the streets selling. They then see a cop car pass up, and just start walking nonchalantly. Just as they thought he had passed up, Eric goes back to selling.

Just as they come up to him he slips the money into his pocket, and the guy who bought the drugs slips that into his pocket.
The cop pulls up to Eric...
