INT. POLICE CAR – DAY
RADIO DISPATCHER (O.S.)
Dispatch to vehicle 0148: Have you
seen him yet?
Jenson picks up the radio and taps Michaels arm.
MICHAELS
(without turning)
No.
JENSON
0148 to dispatch: Not yet.
RADIO DISPATCHER
10-4K. Stay on point. Keep your
eyes open.
JENSON
10-4.
Jenson stares out the passenger side window.
JENSON
Isn’t protocol for people in this
line of work to carry a cell phone
all times.
MICHAEL
His retired. The rules don’t apply to
him.
Jenson turns and faces the back of Michael’s head.
JENSON
We should be looking inside for him
like the others. Help speed up the
search.
MICHAEL
We got orders to stay here. He might
exit and no one will know about it.
Besides they already have people
looking inside.
JENSON
You sound as if we have plenty of time
to waste.
MICHAEL
We don’t. But allowing your nerves to
have a handle on your judgment is
not good either. Gaby is doing a good
job so far.
JENSON
Even though she was his pupil, this
is not textbook procedure...
Michael turns and faces Jenson.
MICHAEL
You’re not making the situation any
better with your constant badgering.
Just cover that side...alright.
Michael turns back around, facing the driver side window.
RADIO DISPATCHER (O.S.)
Dispatch to vehicle 0148: anything
yet.
Michael squints.
JENSON
(into radio)
0148 to dispatch:...
MICHAELS
Tell them we got him.
Michael exits.
EXT. PARK – PATH - DAY
GARY DWAYNE (40s) jogs on the path. He wears sweatpants, a t-shirt, and white sneakers.
The two previous attractive females pass him on the side.
Gary soon passes the couple walking their dogs.
MICHAEL
Gary...
Gary stops. Michael walks towards him.
GARY
Evan...
Both shake hands.
GARY
How’s everything?
MICHAEL
Not good. Do you mind walking with
me?
Michael and Gary walk.
GARY
What’s wrong?
MICHAEL
We got a hostage situation on a
boat that requires your assistance.
GARY
Where’s Gaby?
MICHAEL
She’s over there handling the
problem as best as she can.
GARY
Am I for support?
MICHAEL
More than that.
GARY
Mike, I’m not a newbie. Tell me.
Michael stays silent.
GARY
Mike.
MICHAEL
His got your daughter.
Gary halts. Michael stops a few steps away; he looks back at Gary.
He takes out a small picture from his pant’s pocket and hands it to GARY.
MICHAEL
The hostage taker gave it to us.
An old photo consisting of: Greg (around mid 20’s) holding his cute baby daughter, EMILY.
MICHAEL
I’m telling you this since you’re are
going to find out either way; so, it’s
better that you do so now and get those
feelings out of the way. But we can’t
stop, we gotta move. Your daughter’s
depending on you. So, c’mon.
Gary walks and takes the lead. Michael follows.
GARY
How did this happen?
MICHAEL
According eye witness testimonies,...
EXT. LAKE – DAY (FLASHBACK)
The light blue ocean sparkles.
Many lonely boats are parked alongside the pier.
Their owners are located on top of a
GRASSY HILL
seated on benches. They are crowded by families and friends.
Seated at the far back, GREG and EMILY (late teens) are making out, eyes closed. Emily is sitting on GREG. After a few seconds, they break lip action.
EMILY
You’re a good kisser.
GREG
Thanks. Wanna go somewhere more
private?
EMILY
Don’t push it, I’m letting you this
far.
GREG GULPS.
GREG
Ok.
They return back to making out. Emily opens her eyes.
A BUILT MAN (around late 20’s) walks towards them rapidly. His face is masked by a cap and dark sunglasses.
Emily breaks contact again from Gray.
GARY
What?
A gunshot ROARS! Blood splatters on Emily’s face. She SCREAMS.
She falls back, bringing down with her Gray’s body. She pushes his body off. Blood gushes from Gary’s face.
The built man reaches Emily. He grabs a huge chunk of her hair and drags her through the huge crowd.
He raises a black 9mm in the air and fires one shot.
The nearest crowd looks and then cowers to the ground.
The built man passes quickly, dragging forcefully a SCREAMING Emily.
At the middle point, the built man rips out Emily’s hair. He bends down and grabs Emily by her shirt.
BUILT MAN
Get Up!
He presses the 9MM onto her face and pulls her up. He looks around.
People are cowering on the ground. Some are hugging their children.
A PETITE MOTHER (early 30’s) with blondish hair glances to the side and then back to the built man.
The built man turns around. He points the black 9MM at a SLIGHTLY, BALDING MAN (early 50’s). He fires onto the slightly balding man’s chest and continues moving.
The built man walks down the slope and arrives at the pier. He walks straight for a couple of yards and stops near a dirty boat.
Two tires hang from each side of the white hull. The exterior bulkheads are constructed out of light hard wood. Two windows show on each side of the boat.
He pulls Emily to the boat. Her head hits the coach-roof.
BUILT MAN
Get In!
He shoves Emily in.
INT. RICKETY BOAT
Cramped; a bed is connected to the left side wall. A table is connected on the right side wall.
Emily lies on the floor. The built man hits her in the back of the head with the butt of his gun. He then handcuffs her wrists behind her back.
He heads to the stern and starts the motor.
EXT. RICKETY BOAT
The boat moves forward. Bubbles trail from behind. The built man pulls a dirty peach color curtain to the side, blocking the interior view.
INT. POLICE CAR - DAY (PRESENT DAY)
Sirens sound. Gary sits in the back. Ralph drives. And Michael sits in the passenger seat.
GARY
Is there anything we know about him?
MICHAEL
Caucasian male. Around mid to late
20’s. Well built. He wore sunglasses
and a cap to disguise his face. From
Gaby, his smart and calculating...
GARY
This was pre-planned?
MICHAEL
Yeah...He planned this for some time
now. He knew where to go and who to
go after. But she is not the intended
target.
GARY
How long has he had her?
MICHAEL
An hour and a half; Gaby’s talking
to him.
GARY
What are his demands?
MICHAEL
He wants to talk to you. And that’s
it. He does not go any further
except to make specifically clear
that he wants to talk to you. Only
you.
JENSON
We’ve arrived.
EXT. GRASSY HILL - DAY
The police car PARKS. Gary, Michael and Ralph exit. They walk through a huge crowd of onlookers, and news reporters.
Police and news helicopters fly in the sky.
Most of these onlookers are interviewed by police officers.
Other police officers talk among each other.
A SWAT van is parked near a tree. GABY RODRIGUEZ (mid 30’s) exits the back.
GARY
Gaby!
GABY
Come over.
She walks back to the truck. Gary follows. Michael and Jenson stay in the back.
INT. SWAT VAN
Two other people are present. RYAN KISOK (late 40’s) is dressed in SWAT team attire. NATHAN SHARP (mid 50’s) is dressed in a professional suit.
GABY
Here.
She hands him a telephone.
GABY
You know what to do.
She puts on a pair of headphones. The three other people do the same. She dials the number.
Gray holds the phone onto his ear. The ring tone sounds. The CLICK sound is heard on the other end.
BUILT MAN (V.O)
Mr. Dwayne.
GARY
Speaking.
BUILT MAN (V.O.)
It’s a great pleasure to speak to
you. I was unsure if they were
going to get you here on time. I
was close in taking a drastic
measure to ensure your arrival, but
luckily that can be avoided now.
GARY
Thankfully...So what do you want to
talk to me about.
BUILT MAN (V.O.)
Mr. Dwayne, do you take me as a fool.
That whole thing – me dragging your
daughter through the crowd was for
show.
He looks at Gaby surprised. Gaby looks back.
BUILT MAN (V.O.)
I had to make this situation important,
you can understand that. Besides,
you should be happy with the fact
that I haven’t killed your daughter
yet. But her life isn’t guaranteed
for long as many other people walking
on this great Earth. So, if you want
your daughter to live a bit more you
must go a little bit further. I want
you on this boat. You are a high
commodity. And you will help me in
achieving my goal. In exchange, you’ll
daughter leaves and gets to live. I
think that’s fair. Get back to me five
minutes. If not, I’ll shoot her in
the head and then shoot myself in
the head.
CLICK.
GARY
So, what’s the game plan?
SHARP
This guy’s serious. He shot one guy
who tried to get in his way. So, we
have to take him down. Our only
dilemma is how to eliminate him
without hurting your daughter.
KISOK
The only way is to get close to him
and take him out quickly. And that’s
where you come in.
Gary stares at Kisok.
EXT. LAKE - DAY
A Police speed boat drives straight towards the dirty boat. Occupying this speed boat are a POLICE OFFICER and Gary.
The police speed boat arrives at the stern.
Gary steps on to the rickety boat, watchful of the coach-roof.
Gary halts.

The dirty boat floats on water.

BOOM! The boat explodes.
NEWS REPORTER #1
Oh my God! The boat just exploded.
EXT. LAKE
A JOSH LAMBERT (early 20’s) stands in front of a crowd.

INT. CITY HALL PRESS ROOM
The COMMISSONER stands in front of the podium. Both political and police officials stand in the background.
COMMISSONER
It is believed that when Gary
Dwayne entered the boat, Mr. Anthony
had set off the bomb. It’s really
unclear how he did it so far. We are
assuming most likely through a secret
switch of some sort.
EXT. SUBURBAN HOME
JAMES PATLER (late 20s) talks to a male news reporter.
JAMES PATLER
Sam was a nice guy. Kind to other
people. Kept to himself a lot.
That’s all I can say about him.
Didn’t see this coming. But sadly
this always happens, doesn’t.

Dwayne. Hundreds of police

and daughter. They will be missed.
