Beaten. Acion/Thriller

JEFF takes a Whisky bottle from his back pocket and takes a swig and spits it out, then he takes another swig and swallows it.

 

                    JEFF

          Alright, I'm ready!

 

INT. abandoned racetrack/warehouse - DAY

 

Bruise and Redd place items on a small table: A few pieces of rope, duct tape and three guns.

 

                    BRUISE

          You do realize that Henry's

          not coming alone, right?

 

                    REDD

          I know him well enough not

          to be that stupid. He'll

          come in packing.

 

The SOUND of the SUV is heard pulling up to the stables.

 

Bruise and Redd rush over to the windows and notice Henry's men, The Stragglers step out of the black SUV heading to the back of the truck pulling out weapons. Victor and Ramón watch as they unpack.

 

                    BRUISE

          Oh, shit!

 

                    REDD

          I think we're in trouble.

 

They rush over to the table and grab their guns.

 

They take cover behind some machinery and wait.

 

                    BRUISE

          As soon as you see any of

          them, start shooting.

 

Freddy and Jake storm in through the front doors holding their guns at full sight and ready to fire. Then Michael and Jeff run in quickly, aiming their guns.

 

                    MICHAEL

          You three, go to the back.

 

Freddy and Jake search carefully around the wooden broken down stables filled with some rusted machinery and thick heavy chains that dangle.

 

Bruise sneaks around a large wooden frame covered with dried up hay. He pushes away through some rusty chains hanging down.

 

Redd slips through some haystacks and through a door.

 

Jake runs around a wooden broken down door and spots Bruise sneaking behind a wall.

 

Freddy heads straight near the stairs that head up to the upper deck.

 

Bruise places his gun in his pants and sneaks up behind Jake. He wraps his arms around his neck and struggles with him.

 

Jake tries to scream, but being choked only produces a scratchy sound. He tries to grab a hold of Bruise's arms but can't get a good grip.

 

He pushes himself back into a wall pushing away some chains that SMACK into them.

 

Redd notices Freddy pass by.

 

Redd rises behind him and points his gun from behind. Freddy sees him and raises his gun and jumps behind some wooden boxes. He FIRES a few rounds.

 

Redd jumps out of the way, a bullet nearly striking him but ends up hitting the wall.

 

Redd fires his gun. Freddy ducks. He fires back. Redd covers behind a small wall.

 

The bullets take chunks off the walls like nothing. Leaving large holes in its wake.

 

back to: Bruise

 

Jake makes his way up the stairs and notices Bruise hiding behind some wooden boxes.

 

He points his gun and fires away.

 

Bruise jumps out of the way. He fires back. A bullet lands on Jake's left arm, grazing him.

 

He YELLS out.

 

                    JAKE

          Oooh, you fucker!

 

His nose begins to bleed again.

 

                    JAKE

          God damn it!

   

He wipes the blood away from his nose. He's aggravated and shoots aimlessly at Bruise.

 

Bruise runs down a narrow path, chunks of wood scatter behind him in different directions.

 

He finds an open path and dives for safety.

 

Jake runs after him from above the rafters.

Michael scurries down a path and finds Bruise crawling into some haystacks and wooden boxes.

 

He fires one round. The bullet almost strikes Bruise.

 

Bruise turns to see and covers down. He sees Jake again, running from above.

 

Bruise gets on his back and aims his gun at Jake.

He pulls the trigger and lands a bullet near JAKES head. A chunk of wood flies across.

 

                    JAKE

          Aahh! You coward!

  

Jake fires two rounds at Bruise. Bruise fires back. Jake jumps across some planks and to another section of the stables.

 

BACK TO: JEFF

 

Jeff, takes the two guns out from behind his waistband and locates Redd scurrying around a corner. Jeff fires away with the guns while walking casually at Redd.

 

The bullets strike like raindrops at a running Redd.

 

One of the bullets hits Redd in the leg.

 

Redd falls to the ground. Cringing in pain. Holding his thigh.

 

                    JEFF

          I gotcha! One point for me.

 

                    REDD

          You haven't gotten shit!

 

Redd crawls across to a doorway leaving a mild blood trail behind him.

 

                    JEFF

          Where do you think you're

          going? You cannot hide from

          me, Redd! Where did you hide

          the data?

 

                    REDD

          What data?

 

                    JEFF

          Don't be stupid, now.

 

                    REDD

          I don't have anything. You

          guys made a mistake.

 

                    JEFF

          Sure we did!

 

Jeff fires two rounds at Redd. Thick chunks fly out from above him.

 

BACK TO: BRUISE

 

Bruise notices Jake sneak above. Bruise fires away four rounds. Jake ducks for cover. A bullet hits him in the foot.

 

Jake CRIES OUT in pain. He falls to the ground holding his foot.

 

He grabs his gun and fires away until his gun is empty.

 

Michael fires his gun at Bruise. He ducks for cover.

 

                    MICHAEL

          You should have done your

          job, Bruise. This could

          have been all avoided.

 

Jake gets up and limps across the plank. Blood dripping from his foot.

 

                    JAKE

          You're gonna pay, you fuck!

          I'm coming for you!

 

Bruise runs across beneath Jake and fires his gun until it empties beneath Jake.

 

Jake points his gun and fires away at the running Bruise.

 

Three bullets strike Jake underneath him.

He falls to the ground, breaking through the planks and to the ground. A large dust cloud escapes underneath him.

 

He lies on the ground dead. His face bloody, mostly from his nose.

 

Michael stares at dead Jake and furrows his eyebrows in anger. He blasts away at Bruise.

 

A bullet hits Bruise on the left shoulder. Bruise falls to the ground. Blood pours out of him staining his shirt.

 

Michael runs at him firing his gun.

 

Bruise crawls on his back, pushing with his feet, backpedaling in other words.

 

For some reason, the bullets strike around him and never make contact with him.

 

At the same time, Bruise fires his gun. Runs out and puts another magazine in and fires again.

 

Two bullets penetrate through Michael's hand and gut. Michael falls to one knee, but fires from that position. A bullet makes its way into Bruise's thigh.

 

It scrapes him.

 

Bruise fires again, he's out of ammo.

 

Michael gets to his feet, struggling to do so.

 

                    MICHAEL

          I've got you where I want you.

 

                    BRUISE

          You've got nothing.

  

                    MICHAEL

          You're out of ammo.

  

                    BRUISE

          So are you.

 

                    MICHAEL

          That doesn't mean I'm not

          through with you, yet.

 

BACK TO: REDD

 

Redd crawls through some chains and grabs it as a weapon. He notices Freddy making his way toward him. Redd throws the chain which strikes Freddy on the neck. He falls back to the ground wincing in pain.

 

Redd seizes his opportunity and runs for Jeff. Jeff, now out of bullets, tries to grab his shotgun, but is knocked over from Redd's tackle. They both fall down to the ground fighting.

 

Freddy gets up dazed and grabs his neck. Blood has soaked his hand. He sees Jeff fighting with Redd. He aims his gun at them and tries to shoot Redd but can't find a good target.

 

Redd and Jeff continue fighting. Redd notices Freddy aiming his gun and finds an escape route beyond some wooden columns.

 

Redd notices a large chain with a hook. He grabs it and slides it across to Freddy. 

 

Freddy turns around and finds himself impaled by the rusty hook into his gut.

 

Freddy YELLS out.

 

The hook pierces itself into his belly causing blood to spill to the ground. Freddy tries to unhook it from his gut, but the pain causes him to stop. He fires his gun aimlessly.

 

Jeff runs after his shotgun. Redd notices and runs after him. 

 

Jeff reaches the shotgun, he turns around but only gets tackled again by a flying Redd.

 

Jeff fires a BLAST from his shotgun, but strikes at air. Only causes a piercing sound.

 

Redd sits on top of Jeff punching him in the face and gut, Jeff tries to block some of the blows.

Jeff strikes back, but only gets punched harder. Blood has already started to drool from his mouth and nose.

 

Jeff grabs the shotgun and smacks Redd with it. Redd falls to one side. Jeff gets up, Redd does the same.

 

Jeff holds up the shotgun, but Redd manages to lift the barrel upwards. Again, the ammo heads into the air.

 

Redd smacks Jeff in the gut, Jeff reacts to the punch and drops the shotgun. Redd adds two more punches as Jeff falls back.

 

Jeff counters with a few punches that land on Redd's face. Redd kicks Jeff in the crotch. Jeff bends over in pain.

 

Redd quickly grabs the fallen shotgun and cocks it and puts the barrel on Jeff's head.

 

Jeff lifts his head up. His eyes OPEN UP WIDE.

Redd pulls the trigger causing Jeff's blood to splash onto him.

 

Jeff falls to the ground. Blood soaks the floor.

Redd rushes over to Bruise. He finds a NAIL GUN and takes it with him.

 

He finds Michael fighting with Bruise. Redd runs at him shooting off the nails. The nails strike Michael in the back. He winces in pain and backs away.

 

Bruise gives Michael a good kick in the belly. He stammers back. Redd continues to shoot his nail gun. Michael covers his face with his arms.

The NAILS strike Michael in the arms and hand and gut.

 

He cries out in pain.

 

Bruise grabs a chunk of wood with some LARGE nails stuck through them.

 

He uses it as a bat and smacks Michael in the back. Michael SCREAMS out in pain.

 

Bruise struggles to remove the nail board. Clumps of blood pour out of Michael's back.

 

Redd fires his nail gun again, the nails striking Michael in the face. One lands in the eye. Most land in the neck and cheeks.

 

Bruise sizes up again and smacks Michael in the left side of the face. The rusty nails DIG in through Michael's flesh and bone. The board becomes stuck.

 

Michael falls to the ground awkwardly. He ends up sitting on his legs, hunched over, head dangling and arms to his sides. Indian style.

 

Blood continues to pour out of him leaving a puddle underneath him.

 

Redd drops the nail gun and hurries over to Bruise.
