Chapter 2: THE BARISI BROS. - part 3

   INT. HOTEL HALLWAY - CONTINUOUS


Joey and Alex stop and turn around with their hands in the
air.
The Security Guard seems confused by their reaction and opens
his mouth to speak.


Three shots ring out from down the hall before he can even
get a word out.


The Security Guard drops to reveal Blue standing behind him
with a gun in hand. He walks towards them


BLUE
You guys seen Frank or Hansen?


ALEX BARISI
What the fuck is wrong with you?


BLUE
What?


ALEX BARISI
You just killed that guy for no
reason!


BLUE
Well shit, did you want to go to
jail?
(he barely waits for a
response)
That's what I thought. I'll see you
boys at the house.


Blue rushes past them and out the exit.
ALEX BARISI
(to Joey)
Can you believe that fucking guy?


Joey Doesn't respond. He's still staring at the dead body in
shock.


ALEX BARISI (cont'd)
Joey?
(smacks Joey's arm)
Come on man, we gotta go.


EXT. HOTEL PARKING LOT - NIGHT


The two try their best to look calm and casual as they rush
down the parking lot.


ALEX BARISI
You gotta car?


JOEY BARISI
It's on the other side of the
building. Where's yours?


ALEX BARISI
Took a cab. Can you get us a new
one?


JOEY BARISI
(pulling a slim jim from
his pants)
Yeah.


Joey walks up to the driver's side of the nearest car and
slides the slim jim around in it's window until the lock
pops.


He opens the door and hits the power lock before hopping in
and pulling out some wires.


A few seconds later the engine is roaring and Joey's slamming
it into reverse.


INT. CAR (MOVING) - NIGHT


Joey honks the horn as a man in a red Ford Explorer cuts him
off at a four way stop.


JOEY BARISI
What the fuck? Do people not know
how to drive in this fucking city?


ALEX BARISI
Traffic's pretty bad for this time
of night.


Just as Joey hits the gas to go he's cut off by a red Toyota
Sienna going the same direction as the Explorer.


JOEY BARISI
What the hell is going on? You
think maybe there's a high school
football game or something?


ALEX BARISI
This time of year?


JOEY BARISI
I don't know, I mean it was just a
thought man.


ALEX BARISI
So, you gonna tell me about it?


Joey looks over at Alex totally confused.


JOEY BARISI
What the fuck are you talking
about?


ALEX BARISI
That shiner, how'd you get it?


JOEY BARISI
Shiner?


Joey turns the mirror to get a look at his face. He's
surprised to see that his left eye is black and blue.


JOEY BARISI (CONT'D)
Damn, I didn't even notice.


ALEX BARISI
How'd it happen?


JOEY BARISI
Turns out I still owe some people
money?


ALEX BARISI
You been using again?


JOEY BARISI
What? Of course not, why the fuck
would you even ask me something
like that?


ALEX BARISI
You just got that look about you, I
don't know, it's like your a little
tense or something.


JOEY BARISI
You're fucking right I'm a little
tense, I just watched a man die!
Not to mention we've got the
biggest job of our lives in a few
hours and the cops on our asses.


Alex still doesn't buy it but he's not going to push it
either.


ALEX BARISI
Yeah, I guess. My mistake.


Joey gives Alex a nervous glance.


EXT. SAFE HOUSE - NIGHT


An ESTABLISHING SHOT shows Alex and Joey pulling into the
driveway of a typical suburban home.


INT. SAFE HOUSE - NIGHT


The two enter the house to find it completely empty except
for a table with five chairs around it and a bulletin board
with more confidential bank files pinned to it.


A small tv rests on a counter a few feet from the table.


JOEY BARISI
Looks like we're the first ones
here.


INT. SAFE HOUSE - 35 MINUTES LATER


Alex sits at the table shuffling a deck of cards as Joey
nervously taps on the window. Finally Alex slams the cards
down on the table in frustration startling Joey.


ALEX BARISI
Fuck this. Let's get the hell out
of here.


Alex gets up and pushes in his chair.


JOEY BARISI
Alright, just let me take a piss
first. Bathroom in here works,
right?


ALEX BARISI
Yeah, I think so.


INT. SAFE HOUSE BATHROOM - NIGHT


Joey shuts the door and looks for a lock but there isn't one
so he quickly pulls out a bag of cocaine and fixes himself
two lines on the counter top.


He gets halfway through snorting the second one when the door
flies open hitting him in the side and knocking him to the
ground.


He looks up to see Alex standing in the doorway furious.


ALEX BARISI
You lying son of a bitch!
