THE KILLING KIND

 

Action/Thriller

INT. DOWNTOWN ABANDONED BUILDING - THIRD FLOOR

 

Jayson readies his gun aiming it in front of him. The sound of the two men arguing gets louder.

 

                    FU-HAN (O.S.)

          Tell me where the case is?

 

Then SAMUEL TEAGUE, 40s, speaking with a thick Irish accent.

 

                    SAMUEL TEAGUE (O.S.)

          I don't know where your God

          damn case is, you chink

          motherfucker.

 

The SOUND of a fist striking Samuel's face.

 

                    SAMUEL TEAGUE (O.S.)

          You can kick me, punch me,

          torture me all you want! I

          don't have the case! How can

          I give you something I don't

          have?

 

The SOUND of a kick followed by a "HOOF" grunt from Samuel.

 

Jayson looks down at the briefcase. His eyes furrow in thought. He shakes his head in disgust. He turns around, then CLICK! The sound of a gun's hammer cocked.

 

                    MORGAN (o.s.)

          I believe this belongs to

          me, Drake!

 

Morgan grabs the case. Jayson lets it go and turns around. Morgan's face is finally revealed. Jayson shows disgust.

 

The argument ceases in the other room. FU-HAN steps out, holding his gun. He's a thin man in his late 20s, short hair and medium build. He wears an expensive-looking black suit with black tie. His clothes are stained with blood. Not his.

 

                    FU-HAN

           Who's this?

  

Morgan takes the gun away from Jayson.

 

                    MORGAN

          This is the delivery boy.

          And this is the case you

          want, Fu-Han.

 

Morgan pushes Jayson forward over to Fu-Han. Fu-Han leads Jayson into the room where a bruised Samuel stands holding his bloody nose.

 

INT. DOWNTOWN ABANDONED BUILDING - THIRD FLOOR/FRAGILE ROOM

 

Samuel is a tall man with a thin dirty-red beard. His gray suit is soaked with his blood.

 

Jayson stumbles into the room.

 

                    SAMUEL TEAGUE

          You must be Mr. Koffer's

          man. Thanks, you killed us!

 

                    FU-HAN

          Shut up! The both of you! 

 

                    JAYSON

          We were set up!

 

                    SAMUEL TEAGUE

                (sarcastic)

          You think?

 

Jayson looks away displeased. He looks around the room. A deteriorated interior. The walls seem fragile with cracks and holes. The windows are broken open. Some have loose boards hammered into it.

 

The floor is worse. It's warped and crumbling. In fact, the whole building is in shambles.

 

Most of the rooms and hallways have yellow CAUTION TAPE.

 

Morgan walks into the fragile room holding the briefcase.

 

                    MORGAN

          I believe this belongs to

          you now.

 

Morgan hands Fu-Han the briefcase. Fu-Han takes it.

 

                    MORGAN

          You still holding your end

          of the bargain, Fu-Han?

 

                    FU-HAN

          Most of my men are dead. Our

          deal has changed.

 

Jayson quickly looks for a way out. Samuel notices him. He turns to Jayson. Jayson looks back at Samuel. They both NOD at each other.

 

                    MORGAN

          Our deal stays. Or else I

          won't give you the code to

          open the case.

 

                    FU-HAN

          I'll break it open.

 

                    MORGAN

          Then you can kiss that unit

          goodbye. You need a code to

          open that or else you'll

          just have a very expensive

          paperweight.

 

Fu-Han grins an angry grin.

 

                    FU-HAN

          Fine! The deal stands then.

 

                    MORGAN

          Good. The bank account

          please?

 

Morgan extends his free hand to receive the account.

 

                    FU-HAN

          What about these two?

 

                    MORGAN

          Kill them, I don't care. Not

          my business.

 

Fu-Han reaches into his breast pocket and pulls out a black card with gold letters and numbers written on it.

 

                    MORGAN

          Pleasure doing business with

          you, Fu-Han.

 

Jayson and Samuel look at each other and nod.

 

Fu-Han hands the card over to Morgan. Morgan hands Fu-Han the briefcase...and then.

 

Samuel kicks the briefcase. Fu-Han releases it. It flies across the room striking a wall that crumbles by the heavy impact.

 

The bank account card flips away sliding near a hole on the ground then falling inside it.

 

Morgan looks at it. His eyes angry. His face turning red with rage. Morgan aims his gun at Jayson. Jayson quickly takes action and removes the other gun in his pocket and fires two shots at Morgan before Morgan can shoot his.

 

One bullet GRAZES Morgan's shoulder. Morgan stumbles backward falling to the floor in the hallway. Holds his shoulder, just a small tear on his suit and a little blood. He's good.

 

Fu-Han and Samuel commence in a brutal fist fight. Fu-Han knows a little bit more on defense but Samuel is more powerful in his offense.

 

They grapple each other and wrestle over to a wall. That section of the wall breaks under pressure. They continue to fist pound each other. Gut, face, side ribs, legs, etc.

 

Jayson rushes over to Morgan. Morgan gets up and runs down the hallway.

 

INT. DOWNTOWN ABANDONED BUILDING - JAYSON FIGHT

 

Jayson pursues Morgan. Morgan fires behind him, but misses completely. Jayson ducks anyway. The bullet lands on the ceiling breaking off chunks of loose floor boards to the ground.

 

Morgan makes a corner turn into a room. Bullets come out of that wall. Three LARGE HOLES burst out. Dust and crumbling wood fall to the ground.

 

Jayson ducks again. He backs up to a wall and he fires back. Three more HOLES are created. Jayson dives over to the doorway.

 

Morgan enters through another door. He kicks it open. He turns back noticing Jayson.

 

Jayson gets up and runs after Morgan. He tackles Morgan to the floor into the next room. Their guns fall to the floor sliding away from them.

 

The floor under them collapses but doesn't give way, just DENTS under pressure. They rollover and pound on each other. The face, the kidneys, Jayson's wound.

 

                                         CUT TO:

 

INT. DOWNTOWN ABANDONED BUILDING - SAMUEL FIGHT

 

Samuel Teague and Fu-Han fight an amazing fight. They strike each other with HARD contact. Each one sending the other across the room. There's wrestling and counters and blocking and arm bars, all the good things a fight needs.

 

They use their surroundings to accentuate the fight even more. An instance, Fu-Han throws Samuel at a boarded window. Samuel's heavy body breaks through it. He holds on.

 

Fu-Han comes flying trying to ram Samuel's throat into a shard of glass from the window. Samuel stomps on the window pane stopping his body from plunging into the shard of glass.

 

He pushes himself and smacks Fu-Han. He grabs him in a choke hold.

 

                                         CUT TO:

 

INT. DOWNTOWN ABANDONED BUILDING - JAYSON FIGHT

 

Jayson and Morgan continue to brawl. Heavy strikes, bruises and blood everywhere. Quick and swift attacks and counters. Each possessing great fighting techniques. Morgan grabs a loose board on a wall and uses it as a bat. He swings away.

 

Jayson quickly reacts and maneuvers away from the vicious swings. He manages to grab a hold of the makeshift bat and counters the blow into a take down move. Forcing Morgan to fall over on the floor.

 

The floor finally gives way and both Morgan and Jayson fall through it landing on the SECOND FLOOR of another room filled with invaluable old furniture.

 

Both try to find some sort of loose board to hold onto, but to no avail.

 

INT. DOWNTOWN ABANDONED BUILDING - 2nd FLOOR - JAYSON FIGHT

 

Morgan and Jayson fall to the SECOND FLOOR from the THIRD FLOOR. Morgan lands on a table collapsing it in half. Jayson falls into a cabinet breaking whatever vases and pictures were on top of it.

 

They slowly make their way up, holding onto their sides and back.

 

                    JAYSON

          You set me up, Morgan!

 

                    MORGAN

          You weren't supposed to be

          here. You were supposed to

          be in jail, God damn it!

 

                    JAYSON

          What?

 

                    MORGAN

          I put you in prison for a

          reason. And they still

          released you early.

 

                    JAYSON

          You son of a bitch!

 

                    MORGAN

          I was this close to closing

          the deal and you fucked it

          up for me! I have nothing!

 

                    JAYSON

          You have NOTHING?! Koffer

          killed my father and you

          have NOTHING? I went

          undercover for one reason,

          ONE REASON, Morgan!

 

                    MORGAN

          Let me guess, to kill Mr.

          Koffer. Don't you think I

          know that. I was there when

          it happened.

  

                    JAYSON

          What?

 

                    MORGAN

          I was there when Jay was

          murdered. I saw it all.

 

                    JAYSON

          You son of a bitch, you were

          working with Koffer, weren't

          you?

 

                    MORGAN

          Jay wasn't supposed to be

          there, but his stubborn ass

          persisted just like you.

 

                    JAYSON

          He was your partner, Morgan!

          How could you do him in like

          that?

 

                    MORGAN

          You're just like your

          father, Drake, always

          persisting. You're like that

          annoying sore inside your

          mouth that you can't stop

          licking.

 

                    JAYSON

          You corrupt asshole! You

          could have saved my father.

          We could have avoided all of

          this! I have no LIFE because

          of you!

 

                    MORGAN

          It's all about money, Drake.

          That's all it ever was

          about. That briefcase was my

          ticket out of the police

          force and start a new life.

          You ruined that for me and

          now you're going to die.

 

Jayson sprints after Morgan but is quickly stopped by two GUNSHOTS. The bullets miss Jayson.

 

He dives for cover anyway, a quick police-trained reaction.

 

The gunman, Lang-Hao. From before.

 

                    MORGAN

          Thank you, Lang-Hao, you're

          very generous.

 

Lang-Hao looks confused at the wording.

 

Jayson crawls over to another room. Lang-Hao walks over to Jayson. Jayson runs down the room and jumps through a broken window.

 

Morgan and Lang-Hao follow him.

 

Samuel steps in, he FIRES three shots killing Lang-Hao. He falls to the floor dead. His blood spilling on all sides under him.

 

Samuel fires at Morgan, but Morgan dives for cover and runs down into a door. He shuts it.

 

Samuel runs after him. The door is shut. He kicks it at but only manages to kick his foot through the deteriorated door.

 

                    SAMUEL TEAGUE

          Ah, FUCK!

 

He punches the door down and uses his shoulder to break down the door. The door breaks open revealing another fragile-looking room with boxes and other old furniture.

 

Another door opposite is opened.

 

Morgan is nowhere to be found.
