FADE IN:

INT. CHAPEL - DAY
                                                            
Jake was only nine years old when his mother died. Jake was
a mommas boy, where ever Anna was, Jake wasn't far behind.
Jake and his father had never been close. Jake wasn't sure
what it was, but he could feel it when his father looked at
him, and it didn't feel good. After Anna and Adam were
married he moved her to the base, far from her family.
Anna's husband spent most of his time at the base, leaving
her alone, she missed her husband. Anna wanted a baby, but
she knew her husband had never wanted children. Anna
couldn't help but think that once her husband saw their
baby, held it in his arms, that he would change his mind.
Adam loved Anna, she was probably the only thing he did
love, other than the base, of course. Adam knew she wouldn't
let this go. Anna became pregnant. The pregnancy was hard on
her, the baby was born premature, requiring alot of Anna's
attention, Adam resented this, as he knew he would. Adam had
been satisfied with his life, Anna, the base, he didn't need
or want this child. As Anna grew closer to her son, her
husband drifted further from her. Anna longed for her
family, they had never even seen her child. Anna had told
her son many stories of her family, his family, and her
childhood, so many that Jake felt as if he knew them
already. Jake was almost more excited to meet them than his
mother was to see them again, almost. Adam didn't want his
wife to leave him, but he knew, she wouldn't let this go
either. Adam wouldn't take time away from the base, so he
arranged for a car and driver to take Anna and Jake to the
airport. Anna packed her and Jake's things and kissed her
husband good bye. On the way to the airport Anna is singing
to her son.
                                                            
Suddenly, the blare of horns, tires screeching, his mothers
screams, then silence. Jake was the only survivor of the
accident. Jake is standing by his mothers coffin crying. The
General is standing by the door.
                                                            
                       GENERAL
Jake....Jake!,that's enough, it's
time to go.
                                                            
Jake turns and looks at his father, the General turns his
eyes from Jake .
                                                            
The General turns to walk out the door. Jake looks down at
his mother again, tears fill his eyes, this will be the last
time he sees her. Jake turns and walks toward the door.
                                                            
BACKSEAT OF THE CAR.

his head to look out the window. The drive is long and
silent.

the base tomorrow, you will pack

Jake begins to cry.
                                                            
                       JAKE
I....I don't want to go, I don't
want to leave her.
                                                            
                       GENERAL
Your mother is gone Jake, what you
want is of no concern to me, do
you understand.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Yes.
                                                            
The General stubs out his cigar as the car comes to a stop.

supplement their income with the second biggest cash crop.
The McCain's where no different. Tommy was born with a green
thumb, especially when it came to bud. Hell, if growing herb

the blue ribbon every time. Everyone liked Tommy, he had his
dad's charm, and his momma's good looks, he was kind hearted
and easy going, never wanting for more then what was meant
for him.

The kid starts to laugh, Jake kicks him in the nuts as hard
as he can. The kid drops to his knees, Jake knows he can't
let up now, he jumps the kid and starts whaling on him until
one of the teachers pulls him off. Jake looks at the kid,

another fight. Fighting has become a regular thing for Jake,
it's the same story different place, he's the new kid, and
someone always wants a piece of the new kid.
                                                            
                       GENERAL
The boy has been a problem since
the death of his mother. I assure
whatever it takes, this won't
happen again.
                                                            
Jake's father glances over at him. Jake can feel the look,
and slouches down in his chair.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL
General if I could suggest
something?
                                                            
The General gives a nod, yes.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL
Boys of this age sometimes need a
little help channeling their
aggression. We do have a program
here at the base that I think may
help Jake channel that aggression.
                                                            
                       GENERAL
And what program would that be?
                                                            
The principal pulls some paperwork from his desk drawer and
hands it to the General.
                                                            
                       PRINCIPAL
Boxing. If he's going to fight it
might as well be in the ring.
                                                            
Jake liked the idea, this would be the only thing about the
base that he would ever like. Jake started training right
away, it came easy to him. Jake was born premature, he was a
small child, always protected by his mother, but now he had
grown, he was bigger, stronger, he guarded his emotions as
he guarded his body in the ring, it helped him feel in
control, and he liked that, he needed that, he would never
let that go.

Besides he's on a natural high from what he has seen, he may
have got caught this time, but Jones is no quitter. They
know they can't hold him here forever, they also know
turning him over to the local authorities will draw even
more unwanted attention. The powers that be decide the best
way to handle this is to put a scare in him, release him,
but keep the pressure on, he saw too much, and he has a big
mouth, but after they are finished with him, he'll be lucky
to remember his own name. The base has a problem, and they
know just the soldier to take care of the problem. The call
goes out, bring in Able.

keeping each one of these things from the people. The brass
are giving a tour to potential backers. The backers have
become nervous over the incident with Jones, and without
their money the base can't move forward with it's project.
                                                            
                       OFFICER ONE
So as you can see gentleman we are
well on our way to the goal, with
your contribution we could be
there in a matter of months.
                                                            
                       BACKER ONE
It's true the facility looks
great, but we do have some
concerns.
                                                            
                       OFFICER TWO
And those concerns are?
                                                            
                       BACKER TWO
The recent break in has been all
over the local news. We prefer a
low profile, I'm sure you can
appreciate that.
                                                            

13.

                       OFFICER TWO
We can assure you the situation
was a rare one and is firmly in
control.
                                                            
                       OFFICER ONE
We have one of our best coming in
to take control of security. Look,
it was just a kid pulling a prank,
no real threat.
                                                            
                       BACKER ONE
Real or not a threat is a threat,
I believe we will need some time
on this, maybe after your man gets
here we will discuss this again.
                                                            
The backers are escorted out, leaving the two officers to
discuss the situation.
                                                            
                       OFFICER TWO
When is Able arriving?
                                                            
                       OFFICER ONE
Tomorrow.
                                                            
                       OFFICER TWO
So..is he as good as we said?
                                                            
                       OFFICER ONE
He better be.

and discussing the situation with Jones and the base.

                       TOM SR.

The General and Jake have just got off the plane, the
General is walking toward the car that was sent for them by
the base. Jake is waiting for his bike to be taken out of
the cargo hold. An officer approaches the General.
                                                            
                       OFFICER TWO
General Able, welcome sir.
                                                            
                       GENERAL
Take the boy to the house, I'm
going to the base.
                                                            
                       OFFICER TWO
Yes sir.
                                                            
The officer turns to Jake.
                                                            

15.

                       OFFICER TWO
Hey son, need some help with that?
                                                            
Jake shoots a glance at the officer then cranks his bike.
                                                            
                       OFFICER TWO
If you want to hang out till we
get your stuff unloaded, you can
follow us to your new place,
                                                            
The officer turns around just in time to see Jake ride off.
                                                            
                       OFFICER TWO
Hey!..hey kid!, great the Generals
gonna have my balls for this,

INT. BASE W.V. - DAY
                                                            
The base in West Virginia was established a few years ago,
as a research and development center, it is a minimal
security facility, the base consists of a three buildings.
One building houses the lab, one building is administrative,
and the third building is a warehousing unit. To the town
the base is shrouded in secrecy, the only thing they really
know is it's government, and to them that has never meant
anything good. The base conducts studies, they put out
advertisements offering pay for participation in their
allergy testing programs. Alot of the younger locals are
drawn in by this, the admission policies into the program
are stringent, lots of paper work to be signed before you
get paid, and most of the participants can barely read, they
need the cash so they sign, no questions asked. The base
knows the circumstances of these people and they target
them, abusing their weakness, being poor and uneducated.
Some of the participants have developed adverse reactions to
the tests, but unfortunately they signed waivers stating
that the base could not be held accountable, for such
reactions. The participants also signed confidentiality
agreements, so when the base would hear of a participant
complaining, they would pay him or her a visit, and remind
them of the terms they had agreed to. Needless to say the
base wasn't the most popular with the locals.
                                                            
Ever wonder why the government is so against the research
and development of marijuana? They aren't, they just don't
want the public to know about it. The government has been
trying to develop a strain of marijuana to use in biological
warfare, it's not a war on drugs, it's a war using drugs.
The government needs something that will control a mass
population with little or no trace evidence, make

16.

individuals more susceptible to suggestion, induce high
levels of paranoia, create chaos in the mind, feeling like
their comrades are their enemies, thy will kill each other,
from a distance the governments hands are clean. The
government has tried before with minimal success, using
crack, cocaine, LSD, PCP, and most recently meth. But,
marijuana, this plant has real potential, they just need to
develop a strain that suits their needs, that is the agenda
of the base in West Virgina.
                                                            
The General has arrived at the base and is being debriefed
by the commanding officer.
                                                            
                       OFFICER ONE
General Able, good to have you on
board.
                                                            
                       GENERAL
Sir.
                                                            
                       OFFICER ONE
You've got your work cut out for
you General, your already familiar
with the details?
                                                            
                       GENERAL
Yes, is the boy still under
surveilance?
                                                            
                       OFFICER ONE
Of course, he was underage so we
couldn't hold him for long. He
didn't see much, and what he did
see no one will believe.
                                                            
                       GENERAL
Well, I have my orders, if you
don't mind I'd like to get to
work.
                                                            
                       OFFICER ONE
By all means General, you're
dismissed.
                                                            
CUT TO JAKE
                                                            
Jake decided to find his own way to the house, on the way
his bike breaks down. A truck pulls up beside him. Jake sees
a blurry of blond hair out of the corner of his eye, there's
a guy hanging out of the passenger side window.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Hey man, nice bike, looks like you
could use a hand.
                                                            

17.

                       JAKE
No thanks.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
I'm Tommy this is Maggie.
                                                            
Jake tries to ignore Tommy. Tommy jumps out of the truck,
cut off shorts, no shirt, carrying a beer he walks over to
Jake.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
You must be the new kid, we've
been hearing rumors that the base
was bringing some bad ass in,
after what Jones did.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Yeah, I'm the new kid, and I guess
the bad ass is my dad. I don't
know shit about any Jones, and I
don't know you either man.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Yeah, I told you, I'm Tommy, and
that sweet thing is my girl,
Maggie, but I didn't catch your
name.
                                                            
Jake can't believe this guy, what is he Mr. fuckin'
sunshine. Jake agrees his girl is a sweet thing, her hair is
long pulled back in a thick braid, she's wearing cut off
shorts too, and a bikini top, her and Tommy have been at the
lake, a regular hang out around here.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Jake, Jake Able.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Alright Jake Able, how bout that
lift, I know the house they
puttin' you up at, and it's quite
a ways.
                                                            
Before Jake can refuse again Tommy grabs the handlebars of
the bike and heads to the back of the truck. Jake grabs the
handlebars back.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Cool man, I'll get the back, you
get this thing runnin' again you
gotta let me try it out.
                                                            

18.

Jake looks at Tommy, they get the bike in the back of the
truck. Tommy and Jake walk around to the passenger door of
the truck, Tommy leans in.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Maggie, this is Jake the new kid.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Hey Jake, the new kid.
                                                            
Tommy and Jake get in the truck.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
So what's your story man?
                                                            
                       JAKE
It's a long one.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
That's o.k., it's a long ride.
                                                            
                       JAKE
I'm not big on small talk.
                                                            
Maggie lights a joint and passes it to Tommy.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Your not big on manners either.
                                                            
Jake thinks maybe she ain't such a sweet thing, Tommy takes
a long drag and then passes the joint toward Jake.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
It's cool man, consider it the
welcome wagon...welcome.
                                                            
Jake takes the joint and inhales, he starts choking on it.
Tommy pats him on the back, and laughs.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Alright brother, you don't cough,
you don't get off.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Hey, toke, toke, pass.
                                                            
 
INT. BAR - NIGHT

21.

                       JAKE
You got in, I knew you would. Why
didn't you say something when
Tommy was here?
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Oh, I'm not going.

                       MAGGIE
Tommy is what I've always wanted
Jake, I'm satisfied just knowing i
could do it if I wanted to.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Bullshit, if you didn't want it
you never would have applied.
Mags, have you ever thought you
may not be what Tommy has always
wanted.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Wow, I can't believe you said
that, you know Tommy would never
say something like that about you,
he loves you like a brother.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Yeah, and how does he love you?
                                                            
Maggie starts to tear up.

Tommy loves me.
                                                            
                       JAKE

I know Tommy loves you. It's just
Tommy will always be here, he
ain't going no where. Your
special, you have real talent, I
just hate to see you throw it
away, that's all.
                                                            

22.

                       MAGGIE
Well, I appreciate your concern,
but it is my decision to make.
Besides you should be worried
about what your going to do after
graduation. Your dad still on you
about joining up?
                                                            
                       JAKE
Yeah, but fuck him, I want as far
away from him and his precious
base as I can get.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
So, what are you going to do?
                                                            
                       JAKE
I'm going to do a little
traveling, find my moms family.
                                                            
Maggie smiles and reaches her hand over and puts it on
Jake's hand.
                                                            
                       JAKE
I still have these dreams, you
know, I think she's trying to tell
me something.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
I think that's exactly what she
would want you to do, you need to
do this Jake. Hey i gotta be
getting home, you want to ride
with me?
                                                            
                       JAKE

Jake takes any chance he can to be with Maggie, especially
if Tommy isn't around.

                       TOMMY
Swoosh!, game brother.
                                                            
Jake and Tommy take a beer break.
                                                            
                       JAKE
You tell her yet?
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Tell who what?
                                                            
                       JAKE
It's not cool to dick her around
like that man.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
but I like dickin' her... around I

                       JAKE
Your a real asshole.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
chill man, I'm gonna tell her.
                                                            
                       JAKE
If you wait to long she'll miss
her chance, then you'll be an
asshole and a jerk.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
If your so worried about it, why
don't you tell her for me.
                                                            
Jake looks at Tommy like he could beat his ass, truth is he
could.

                       TOMMY
Jake, don't get it twisted bro, I

                       JAKE
That's cool bro, but she deserves
to know so she can do her own
thing.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
I know. She's gonna be pissed

Now maybe you can remember to
forget.
                                                            
Agents throw Jones on the ground and get back into the car.
As the car pulls away, Jones stretches up one arm, then one
finger, then his arm drops down.
                                                            
 
EXT. THE LAKE - NIGHT
                                                            
There's a party at the lake, Tommy decides to tell Maggie
about his plans.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Tommy it's going to be so
wonderful, I've already started on
my dress, it's beautiful..
                                                            
                       TOMMY
I'm sure it is sweetheart, Maggie
I need to talk to you about that.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
About what?
                                                            
                       TOMMY
You know the wedding thing, I was
just thinking, you know, maybe we
should give it a little more
time...
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
A little more time...we've been
planning this forever..
                                                            

26.

                       TOMMY
You've been planning it
sweetheart. look we can still do
it,just later. I mean, I was just
thinking i would take off with
Jake for awhile, you know, keep
him out of trouble.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
I seriously doubt you would be
keeping anybody out of trouble
Tommy. Well, looks like you've
made up your mind.It doesn't
really matter what I want does it,
as long as you get yours right. Go
ahead Tommy, take off for awhile,
and while your at it, go fuck
yourself.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Come on Maggie, it's not the end
of the world. Jake told me you got
in to that school, you should go
for it.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Don't worry, I will.
                                                            
Maggie starts to cry, she struggles to get the ring Tommy
gave her off. The ring comes off, she throws it at him, she
runs away, she passes by Jake.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Mags....hey mags!
                                                            
Tommy is running after Maggie and runs into Jake.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
I told you man, she's pissed,
whatever, she'll get over it.
                                                            
Jake shoves Tommy back.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Smooth man.
                                                            
Jake runs to catch up to Maggie.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Maggie wait.
                                                            

27.

Jake grabs Maggie by the arm and turns her to him, her face
is wet with tears, but all he can think is how beautiful she
is right now.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Well, you we're right, happy?
                                                            
                       JAKE
No, it doesn't make me happy.
                                                            
Maggie leans into Jake and puts her head on his chest. Jake
slips his arms around her.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
How could I be so stupid, I feel
like a complete jerk.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Your not a jerk mags, your the
best, too good for Tommy that's
for sure.
                                                            
Maggie feels Jake kiss her head, she leans back and looks
into his eyes. Jake runs his hand down Maggie's cheek and
wipes away the tears. Maggie reaches up and they kiss.
Maggie stops, pushes away and runs to her truck. Jake is
left standing there alone wondering what the hell just
happened and if it would ever happen again.
                                                            
Maggie is in her truck driving home, she has to stop, she
pulls over. Maggie sits there thinking of what just
happened, between her and Tommy, between her and Jake.
Maggie didn't want to hear what Tommy told her, but if he
hadn't she never would have been in the position to share
that kiss with Jake, she had wanted to do that since the
first time she saw him. Maggie can't deny to herself the
feelings she has for Jake, and maybe Tommy has given her the
excuse she needs to pursue Jake. Maggie wipes her eyes, this
is too much, she can't think about it right now, she pulls a
joint from her purse and lights it, she starts the truck,
cranks the radio, and drives home.
                                                            
 
INT. JAKE'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
                                                            
Jake is having another one of his dreams about his mother.In
the dream Jake is a young boy again, his mother is there
with him, she puts the necklace around his neck. Suddenly
she is gone, replaced with a vision of the General standing
over him, he seems like a giant. Jake runs crying for his
mother away from the general, then he is at the chapel
beside her coffin, she isn't in it. She appears to him arms

28.

outstretched, she says, "you only need to seek to find".Jake
wakes up, he is drenched in sweat, his hand goes to the
necklace.
                                                            
 
INT. GRADUATION HALL - DAY
                                                            
The ceremony is over everyone is walking around celebrating.
Maggie and Tommy's relationship has changed since that night
at the lake, they are more friends now than anything else.
Maggie's relationship with Jake has also changed, they are a
little more distant, neither one of them wanting to bring up
what had happened between them that night, not that it was a
bad thing. Maggie makes her way over to Jake and Tommy, she
hugs them both.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
We made it!
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Hell yeah, thanks for
understanding sweetheart, I know
your gonna kick ass, make us
proud.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Yeah, don't forget us when your
rich and famous.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Forget you two, impossible.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
You gonna be at the lake later?
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
When have I ever missed a party at
the lake, besides this ones
special, it may be our last one
together.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Our last party together,
impossible.
                                                            
                       GIRL ONE
Hey Maggie come on the girls want
a group picture.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
I'll see you guys later o.k.
                                                            
CUT TO THE LAKE
                                                            

29.

Jake is sitting at the bonfire, Tommy is doing a keg stand,
Maggie comes up and sits next to Jake. Jake can smell her,
she always smells like vanilla and pot, not a bad
combination. Jake feels his heart race, it always did when
Maggie was near him.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Hey there.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Hey, wheres Tommy?
                                                            
Jake points to the keg. Tommy is upside down, being held up
by two of the other football players, one on each leg. The
crowd is going wild, Tommy aims to please his adoring fans.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Mags about that night...
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
It's o.k. Jake, don't give it
another thought, really. You know
I need to thank you, things are
better this way, everyone gets
what they want.
                                                            
Jake thinks that's not true, if it were he would have her
right now.
                                                            
                       JAKE
You don't need to thank me for
anything, I'm just glad you're not
mad anymore.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Hey, I got one to burn, you want
to take a walk?
                                                            
Jake nods yes, they start walking toward the lake, Maggie
sparks the joint and passes it to Jake.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
So, when you guys taken off?
                                                            
                       JAKE
A couple more weeks, need to get
some more traveling cash, how
about you?
                                                            

30.

                       MAGGIE
The same, I'm already registered I
just have to show up. have you
told your dad about your plans
yet?
                                                            
                       JAKE
No, I think it's better if I wait
until the last minute, less drama.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
You think so?
                                                            
                       JAKE
I hope so.
                                                            
Tommy stumbles up to them, he throws an arm around Maggie.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Holdin out on me sweetheart?
                                                            
Tommy reaches for the joint in Jake's hand, he goes to hit
it and falls forward, Jake catches him and throws him over
his shoulder. Jake carries Tommy up to Maggie's truck and
lays him down in the bed.
                                                            
                       JAKE
We should probably get him home.
                                                            
Maggie and Jake drop Tommy off at the farm, then Maggie
drives Jake home. Jake starts to get out of the truck,
Maggie grabs his arm, she kisses his cheek.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
I meant it, thank you.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Your welcome, just remember don't
forget me.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
I could never forget you, besides
it's not like will never see each
other again...right?
                                                            
                       JAKE
Right.
                                                            
Jake gets out of the truck, Maggie drives away.
                                                            
CUT TO JAKE ENTERING THE HOUSE
                                                            

31.

The General is home and waiting for Jake for a change. Jake
enters the house and walks toward the kitchen, the General
steps out behind him and begins to talk.
                                                            
                       GENERAL
so, this is how you start your
adult life, staying out all
night,stumbling in drunk.
                                                            
                       JAKE
No ones stumbling, dad.
                                                            
                       GENERAL
It's time Jake.
                                                            
                       JAKE
time... time for what?
                                                            
Jake opens the frig, the General stops in the doorway.
                                                            
                       GENERAL
Time for you to get it together
son.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Don't call me that, you don't have
the right!
                                                            
                       GENERAL
      (laughs)
I don't have the
right...unfortunately son, I do,
your mother made sure of that.
                                                            
Jake steps toward his father, and points his finger at him,
he is full of rage.
                                                            
                       JAKE
don't!...talk about my mother.
                                                            
The General steps closer to Jake.
                                                            
                       GENERAL
And what are you going to do about
it son...cry.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Fuck you...dad.
                                                            
Jake takes a swing at the general, the General dodges it.
The General punches Jake in the gut, bringing him to his
knees.
                                                            

32.

                       GENERAL
Like I said it's time for you to
get it together...
                                                            
The General punches Jake again, this time in the face,
knocking him completely to the floor. The General leans down
to Jake's ear.
                                                            
                       GENERAL
...son.
                                                            
The General steps over Jake, leaving him alone on the floor.
                                                            
 
INT. JAKE'S BEDROOM - DAY
                                                            
The next morning,Jake gets up and goes to the bathroom, he
checks his black eye out in the mirror. Jake is careful
putting on his t-shirt, his ribs feel broken, the old man
can sure deliver a punch. The phone rings, it's Tommy.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Man, what the fuck happened last
night?, I fell like shit warmed
up.
                                                            
                       JAKE
You're not the only one.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Well get your ass over here and
we'll start the healing process.
                                                            
                       JAKE
And what would that be?
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Hair of the dog man.
                                                            
Jake laughs and hangs up the phone, then the laughter turns
to a sick feeling in his stomach about the general, then
it's replaced with the memory of Maggie's lips on his cheek,
the night wasn't a total loss. Jake finishes getting dressed
and heads over to Tommy's.
                                                            
CUT TO JAKE ARRIVING AT THE MCCAIN FARM
                                                            
Tommy is on the front porch waiting for Jake with a cooler
full of cold beers.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Damn man, what happened to you?
                                                            

33.

                       JAKE
A difference of opinion.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
With who?, we'll hunt that sum
bitch down and bust his ass.
                                                            
                       JAKE
      (laughs)
Won't have to look far, the
General was waiting up for me last
night, wanted to have a heart to
heart.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Looks more like a fist to head.
                                                            
                       JAKE
He wants me to join up.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Fuck that!, your not gonna do it
are you?
                                                            
                       JAKE
Hell no, I want as far away from
him as I can get, the sooner the
better.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Bro, your pops got some real
control issues, someone needs to
put a foot in his ass.
                                                            
                       JAKE
      (laughs)
I don't think there's a foot big
enough for that asshole.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Seriously man, he shouldn't be
able to get away with this shit.
                                                            
                       JAKE
He's gotten away with alot worse,
hey i thought we were going
fishing.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
cool, you know me, ready and
willin'
                                                            
CUT TO THE LAKE
                                                            

34.

Jake and Tommy have been at the lake for the better part of
a twelve pack and a half ounce. Tommy starts in about the
base.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Have you ever wondered if the
rumors are true man?
                                                            
                       JAKE
What rumors?
                                                            
                       TOMMY
You know, about the bases secret
stash.
                                                            
                       JAKE
ah man don't start with that
bullshit.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
I was just thinkinhg...
                                                            
                       JAKE
Hey, I've told you about that.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Fuck you man, I'm serious, what if
what Jones says is true?
                                                            
                       JAKE
Oh, now your taking Jones serious,
great.
                                                            
Jake gets up to take a piss.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Just hear me out damn it, if what
Jones says is true, they got a
shit load of smoke in that place,
and not just good old home grown,
they got the bionic chronic. You
know if what Jones has been saying
isn't true why would they have
fucked with him so hard about it?
And why bring the General in on
it?
                                                            
                       JAKE
Man I don't know, and I don't want
to know.
                                                            

35.

                       TOMMY
I'm just saying if it is true,
what better way to fuck the
General for beating your ass.
Jones had the right idea man, he
just sucked on the follow thru.
                                                            
                       JAKE
I don't like where your going with
this.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
      (laughs)
You have no idea where I'm going
with this.
                                                            
                       JAKE
I don't want anything to do with
this one bro.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
That's cool, I can understand you
being scared and all, but what
harm would come from just finding
out if the rumors are true?
                                                            
                       JAKE
I'm not scared, and I'm not stupid
either. I mean you think it's so
easy, just walk up and ask for a
tour.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Well, you do kinda have the inside
connection, I mean what would make
daddy happier than to see his boy
take an interest in his work.
                                                            
                       JAKE
That's it you've officially fried
your last brain cell.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Listen man, you tell the General
the ass whooping he gave you
knocked some since into you...
                                                            
                       JAKE
You keep saying he busted my ass,
I'm gonna bust yours.
                                                            

36.

                       TOMMY
O.K. calm down big-un, like I was
saying, tell the old man you
changed your mind, put you still
got cold feet...
                                                            
                       JAKE
      (laughs)
Yeah, your the one who knows about
cold feet.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Yeah, that's a good one man,
whatever, you tell him you want to
test the waters see if it's for
you before you commit, you know,
you wouldn't want to washout and
embarrass daddy. So he gets you
in, you know some lacky intern
shit.
                                                            
                       JAKE
He'll never believe that bullshit.
I've never asked him for anything,
he'll know somethings up.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
If that's the case, what harm is
it to ask?
                                                            
 
INT. THE BASE W.V. - NIGHT
                                                            
A couple of weeks have passed, Jake still can't believe the
General went for it. So far there's been no sign of any
government weed, but it's not exactly like Jake has the run
of the place, he's on janitor duty, collecting trash,
mopping floors, shit like that. Then one night it happens,
Jake is recruited to pull a double for one of the regulars.
                                                            
                       GUARD ONE
Able, come with me.
                                                            
Jake follows the guard. The guard stops at a door, punches
in a code, then the door opens, Jake can't believe his eyes.
                                                            
                       GUARD TWO
Who's this?
                                                            

37.

                       GUARD ONE
Jake Able, the Generals son, he's
taking Smiths place tonight. Able
what happens at the base, stays at
the base, we clear?
                                                            
                       JAKE
Yeah, I know the drill.
                                                            
Jake spent the night cutting and hanging stalk after stalk
of pot to be dried, he couldn't believe the size of these
buds, Tommy would be in head heaven. Then he got that sick
feeling in his stomach again, this was too easy, what if the
General knew, what if this was a big fucking set up.
                                                            
                       GUARD TWO
Able, that's it, we're done for
tonight.
                                                            
 
INT. MCCAIN FARM - DAY
                                                            
Jake stops at Tommy's after he leaves the base, he is about
to bust, he has to tell Tommy about last night.
                                                            
                       TOM SR.
Jake your up early, come to work?
                                                            
                       JAKE
Actually I just finished a double
at the base. I'm still kinda wound
up, thought I'd stop by.
                                                            
                       TOM SR.
The base huh, well sit down have
some breakfast. Tommy you get done
come on out and get to work.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
O.K. pop.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Hey man, lets take this outside.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
You found something didn't you?, I
know it, I can see it in your eyes
man.
                                                            
Jake and Tommy go out back and spark a joint, Jake proceeds
to tell Tommy the news.
                                                            

38.

                       JAKE
It's all true man, it's just like
Jones said, I just spent the last
six hours with the shit.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
You're blowin' my mind bro.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Your mind, what the hell do you
think happened to my mind last
night.Jesus man, it was
amazing,but I couldn't help but
think it was too easy, I think he
might know we're up to something.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
man, he don't know shit. If he did
there's no way he would have given
you access.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Yeah, you're probably right.So
what now?
                                                            
                       TOMMY
The fuck if I know, I need some
time to think about this shit.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Alright, let's just play it cool,
I'll get some more info, scope out
the place a little better, I think
I'm going to be covering for this
guy the rest of the week.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
That's sounds good bro,look get
with me in a few days, I'll have
come up with something by then.
Hey man, Mccain and Able.
                                                            
Tommy goes to give Jake respect knuckles.
                                                            
                       JAKE
      (laughs)
Damn, you are cheesy man.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Come on now, don't leave me
hangin'.
                                                            
Jake gives up the respect knuckles to Tommy.

INT. THE BASE W.V. - NIGHT
                                                            
Jake's been working the room all week. The guards have
become real comfortable with Jake, this is a minimum
security facility after all, research and development
mainly. Jake is finishing his last trash run before he goes
to work in the room. Jake knows the guard likes to take his
break around now, and letting him in the room takes away
from that. Jake stops by the guard with his trash buggy.
                                                            
                       JAKE
hey man, hows it going?
                                                            
                       GUARD ONE
It's going,Damn you always catch
me just at break time.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Sorry.
                                                            
The guard starts to get up. Jake stops him.
                                                            
                       JAKE
You know I can let myself in, it's
no problem.
                                                            
The guard hesitates, and looks at Jake.
                                                            
                       GUARD ONE
What the hell, sure. I mean you
are the Generals son, if I can't
trust you, who can I trust, right.
                                                            
Jake looks at the guard and half smiles.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Right.
                                                            
                       GUARD ONE
You got the code?
                                                            
                       JAKE
Yeah, I think so, four zero two?
                                                            
                       GUARD ONE
Four two zero. Remember that, if
you put it in wrong the alarm will
go off, and we'll both be in a
world of shit, got it?
                                                            
                       JAKE
Four twenty, got it. Look, I
should get going, have a good one.
                                                            

40.

The guard leaves out the side door lighting a cigarette, and
waving behind him. Jake pushes the trash cart to the
security door and punches in the code. The door opens, this
is it, Jake pushes the cart through the door.
                                                            
                       GUARD TWO
Able you're late, what's up with
the cart? you're not suppose to
bring anything in here.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Hey man, if I took this thing to
the dump I would have been later
than I am. I'm going to dump it
after my shift.
                                                            
                       GUARD TWO
Whatever, we got to get to work,
we've got deadlines to meet you
know.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Yes sir.
                                                            
Jake parked the cart where he knew he would be passing by it
all night, and as he did, he would casually drop a few
stalks in and cover them with trash. At the end of his shift
he would push the cart out to the dumpster empty it. The
trash collector came just after Jake's shift, early in the
morning. Tommy would be waiting for the truck, follow it to
the dump, then he would have the prestigious job of hunting
through the bags to find the treasure. Over all it was a
good plan, not like Jones. There would be no breakin', it
was an inside job. What could go wrong.
                                                            
CUT TO JAKE CLOCKING OUT AT THE BASE.
                                                            
                       GUARD ONE
Able, come with me.
                                                            
                       JAKE
What? I'm beat man, I'm going
home, two shifts is enough for me.
                                                            
                       GUARD ONE
The General wants you in his
office now, let's go.
                                                            
Fuck, the rs that sick feeling in Jake's stomach again, he
knew this was to good to be true. Jake's heart was racing,
he could feel the sweat forming on his upper lip, the
General knew. The guard opened the door to the Generals
office. The General was sitting at his desk, back to Jake.
                                                            

41.

                       GENERAL
Sit down Jake.
                                                            
                       JAKE
What is it? I'm real tired and
I've got to be back here in a few
hours.
                                                            
The General turns around in his chair to face Jake.
                                                            
                       GENERAL
I said sit down.
                                                            
Jake sits down.
                                                            
                       GENERAL
You want to tell me what happened
last night?
                                                            
                       JAKE
I worked my ass off..
                                                            
The General stands up abruptly and slams his hands down on
the desk, looking straight into Jake's eyes.
                                                            
                       GENERAL
You didn't really think you'd get
away with this did you?
                                                            
                       JAKE
That was the plan.
                                                            
                       GENERAL
If you think I'm going to let your
behavior reflect on me, you're
dumber than you appear, son. The
plan, well here's the new plan,
you're signing up, no discussion,
unless you'd prefer to live out
the rest of your sorry life in
federal prison.
                                                            
                       JAKE
You can't do this to me.
                                                            
                       GENERAL
You did this to yourself. Jake you
had a choice to make and you made
it, now you have a another choice
to make, it's as simple as that.
                                                            
Jake gets up to leave.
                                                            

42.

                       GENERAL
Oh, by the way, I know your friend
is in on this, I have to guards
waiting for him at the dump. If he
so much as touches those bags his
ass is mine too.
                                                            
Jake has to get to Tommy. Jake runs out the door, down the
hall and out the door. Jake jumps on his bike and hauls ass
to catch up to Tommy before he reaches the dump. Jake sees
Tommy just ahead, he shifts gears. Jake is side by side with
Tommy, Tommy thinks Jake is just fucking around and wants to
race. Tommy revs his engine and takes off, Jake follows.
Jake catches back up to Tommy. Tommy looks over, Jake is
cussing and yelling for Tommy to pull over, Tommy can see
now Jake ain't playing so he pulls over. Jake jumps off his
bike and jerks Tommy's door open.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
What the fuck man?
                                                            
                       JAKE
It's over, he knows, I told you
this shit wouldn't work!
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Calm down man, no harm done.
                                                            
                       JAKE
No harm done, thanks to you that
bastard has me by the balls Tommy,
you and you're fucking selfish
ideas.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Wait, Jake brother, what the fuck
are you talking about?
                                                            
Jake grabs Tommy and slams him up against the truck, with
tears in his eyes.
                                                            
                       JAKE
He gets what he wants man, he
always gets what he wants, I got
to join up, or my ass will rot in
federal fuck you in the ass prison
for this shit! And he was going to
do the same to you if I hadn't
stopped you.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
What? How?
                                                            

43.

                       JAKE
He has guards waiting for you at
the dump, the minute you got your
hands on the bags they would have
busted you.
                                                            
Jake lets go of Tommy and turns his back on him. Tommy's in
shock, he won't let Jake go down alone. Tommy goes to Jake
and puts his hand on Jake's shoulder.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
There's no way I'm going to let
you do this alone brother.

You've both lost your fucking
minds. I don't understand, why the
sudden change Jake, I thought you

                       TOMMYS MOM

                       MAGGIE
Yeah, hold your breath.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Don't let the big city change you
too much Mags.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
I would tell you the same, but
that's kinda the point of boot
camp right, to change you.
                                                            
                       JAKE
It won't change us Mags, McCain
and Able remember.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE

The base leans on Jones for information about the local
growers., Jones won't give it up, instead he starts a
resistance with the locals.
                                                            
At boot camp Tommy is steered to mechanics. Jake is steered
to special ops. The Generals way of separating them. Divide
and conquer.
                                                            
Maggie graduates college and interns at a top fashion house.
                                                            
Jones resistance grows in numbers, he makes connections all
over the state.
                                                            
Jake and Tommy grow apart. Jake becomes consumed with the
forces, Tommy is consumed with going home.
                                                            
Maggie is successful but longs for home and the boys.
                                                            
Jake decides it's time to confront Tommy about his disregard
for the forces.
                                                            
Maggie moves back home and opens her own shop, and waits for
her boys to come home.

                       TOMMY
What, I thought you knew me

                       TOMMY
Sure they do, you have.
                                                            
                       JAKE
If changing means growing up, I

                       JAKE
Fuck you, brother.

General heard what went down he had Jake reassigned. this
was the opportunity the General needed to separate the two .

immediately flashes that smile, the one that got her in the
first place.
                                                            
                       TOMMY

requested you for this assignment
Able. Your flight leaves in one
hour, here's all the information
you need to get up to speed. The
General will debrief you when you
get to the base, any questions?
                                                            
                       JAKE
No sir.
                                                            
 
INT. MAGGIE'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
                                                            
Maggie's apartment over her shop in the city, Tommy is over
for dinner. Maggie's clears the dishes and takes them to the
sink. Tommy leans back in his chair and stares at her ass,
rubbing his stomach.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Damn sweetheart, a meal like that
makes me wonder why I never
married you.
                                                            
Maggie turns around and shoots Tommy a glance like she could
choke him.
                                                            

51.

                       MAGGIE
Speaking of regrets, talk to Jake
lately?
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Who?
                                                            
Maggie walks out of the kitchen into the living room, Tommy
follows, he stops and turns up the stereo. Maggie sits down
on the couch and pulls her rolling tray from under it.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Pretending doesn't make it go
away, after all here you are.
                                                            
Tommy sits down next to her on the couch and pulls out his
bag, he throws some buds on the tray.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Is that right, look we've all made
decisions that we regret, why
dwell on them. Let's just
concentrate on tonight, on you, on
me, just us, that's enough for me.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Huh, I remember a time when it
wasn't.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Things change sweetheart, people
change. I love you Maggie.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
I know.
                                                            
Maggie lights the joint she just rolled, and passes it to
Tommy.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
You know huh... that's all I get?
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
That's all you deserve.
                                                            
Tommy reaches for Maggie, grabs her around the waist and
starts kissing her neck. Tommy may have broken her heart,
but with each touch, each kiss, it mends a little. Besides
this was Tommy, he was familiar to her, he felt like home to
her, and that's a hard thing to resist.

INT. THE BASE W.V. - DAY
                                                            
Jake is being escorted to the Generals office. Jake has deja
vu remembering the last time he walked down this hall. The
guard opens the door to the Generals office. There was the
General same as before sitting behind his desk. The General
got up and extended his hand to Jake.
                                                            
                       GENERAL
Jake, I've heard excellent reports
on you son. Seems you may have
finally found your niche.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Seems so.
                                                            
                       GENERAL
Sit down Jake, you know the
situation, think you can remain
objective?
                                                            
                       JAKE
It's what I've been trained to do
sir. I am curious to why you chose
me. Is it you that's not being
objective?
                                                            
                       GENERAL
I'll admit I want to see how you
perform under pressure, if you're
the soldier I've heard you'd
become.You know the history, hell,
you're apart of it.
                                                            
                       JAKE
knowing that, and knowing what
happened between Tommy and myself
the last time we meet, what makes
you think he'll trust me?
                                                            
                       GENERAL
      (laughs)
It's in his nature.He's small
town, it's what they do. Forgive,
forget, all that shit. I could
never understand the friendship
between the two of you. McCain was
an influence you didn't need, he
was holding you back from your
true potential, you see that now.
                                                            
                       JAKE
We we're friends.
                                                            

53.

                       GENERAL
And you see where that got you. I
guess it wasn't that bad, after
all if it hadn't been for McCain,
you wouldn't be where you are now.
Hell, you might even owe him a
thank you. You could have ended up
being stuck in this shit hole.
                                                            
                       JAKE
You're stuck in this shit hole,
sir.
                                                            
                       GENERAL
I run this shit hole, there's a
difference. It sounds like you may
still have some attachment, are
you sure you can handle this?
Maybe it would be better to get
someone with less emotional
attachment.
                                                            
                       JAKE
I can handle this, if there's one
thing I've learned, the job comes
first. People are expendable, they
just get in the way of true goals.
                                                            
                       GENERAL
Good...we've got you set up in an
apartment downtown. The sooner you
get started the better, time is of
the essence. I will expect routine
reports on your progress. We can't
proceed without backing. We won't
get that backing until the backers
are secure in the fact that
they'll be no more
unexpected...situations,
understood?
                                                            
                       JAKE
Understood, sir.
                                                            
 
INT. JAKE'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
                                                            
Jake is thumbing through his files. Jake is remembering the
past with Tommy and Maggie. Jake's thoughts go to his
mother, funny he hasn't really thought of her since boot
camp, it hurts, he stops. Jake looks down, there is a recent
photo of Maggie in front of her shop, it's not far from

54.

here. Jake decides to take a walk, he finds himself outside
Maggie's shop, he can see her through the window, she's as
beautiful as the last time he saw her. Jake decides to go
in, the tiny bell on the door rings when he enters. Maggie
has her back to him, she is helping a young girl with a
dress.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Hey there, I'll be with you in a
minute, feel free to look around.
                                                            
Maggie didn't recognize him, she had called out over her
shoulder. Jake looks around, his stomach in knots, as he
listened to Maggie's conversation with the young girl.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
O.K., this looks great. Come back
in a couple days for a final fit.
That boy won't know what to do
with himself.
                                                            
                       YOUNG GIRL
I think he'll have some ideas.
                                                            
Maggie and the young girl laugh. The young girl goes to the
dressing room to change. Maggie approaches Jake, still not
realizing who he is.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Is there something in particular
your looking for?
                                                            
Jake turns to Maggie.
                                                            
                       JAKE
As a matter of fact there is.
                                                            
Maggie can't believe her eyes, she throws her arms around
Jake.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Oh my God, Jake!
                                                            
The young girl comes out of the dressing room, she walks
past Maggie and Jake. The young girl looks Jake up and down
and smiles.
                                                            
                       YOUNG GIRL
See ya later Maggie.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Bye now.
                                                            
Maggie steps back a bit, and looks Jake up and down herself.
                                                            

55.

                       JAKE
It's been a long time Mags.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Too long, let me look at you. I
can't believe you're here.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Me either, your place is great,
you're great... I mean you look
great.
                                                            
Maggie stands with her hands on her hips, smiling.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
      (laughs)
So do you. When did you get in?,
have you seen Tommy yet?
                                                            
                       JAKE
I just got in today, and no I
haven't been to see Tommy, somehow
I get the feeling he won't be
nearly as happy to see me.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Hey, I was just about to close.
I'm going to lock up, and we can
go upstairs and catch up.
                                                            
Maggie walks to the front door flips the sign and locks the
door.
                                                            
                       JAKE
You live here?
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Yeah, got an apartment upstairs.
Roll out of bed, brush my teeth,
come down stairs, and I'm at work.
Saves on rent too.
                                                            
Jake follows Maggie up the stairs to her apartment. Maggie
goes to the kitchen to get a couple of beers, Jake looks
around. Jake sees a picture of the three of them on
graduation day. Maggie comes up beside him, hands him a
beer.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Thanks.
                                                            

56.

                       MAGGIE
So, fill me in, why'd you come
back?
                                                            
Jake turns his attention to Maggie, is it possible she's
gotten more beautiful since he last saw her. Jake walks
toward Maggie.
                                                            
                       JAKE
I missed you, why else?
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Sure... I missed you too.
                                                            
Maggie turns up her beer, Jake gets closer to Maggie.
                                                            
                       JAKE
I mean it, I really did miss you.
                                                            
Maggie reaches out and puts her hand on Jake's cheek. Jake
grabs her hand and slides it to his lips, he kisses her
palm. Jake looks into Maggie's eyes. Maggie never thought
she'd see Jake again much less like this. Maggie won't let
this opportunity pass her by, she's dreamed to many times of
what it would be like. They kiss, soft and gentle at first,
then deep and hard, Maggie slides her hands under his
t-shirt.
                                                            
                       JAKE
I want this, I've always wanted
this.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
You can have it.
                                                            
Jake pulls his t-shirt off, Maggie starts kissing his bare
chest, he picks her up, and she wraps her legs around him,
he carries her to the bedroom.
                                                            
Jake and Maggie make love, afterwards Jake tells Maggie what
happened between Tommy and him. Jake wants Maggie's help
talking to Tommy, he thinks it will be easier with her as a
go between. Maggie and Jake agree it would be better to keep
thier relationship from Tommy for the time being.
                                                            
 
EXT. TOMMY'S NURSERY - DAY
                                                            
Maggie shows up to talk to Tommy about Jake. Tommy's outside
working loading some plants onto the truck for delivery.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Hey there.
                                                            

57.

                       TOMMY
Hey there sweetheart, how bout a
little help?
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
How about no.
                                                            
Maggie helps Tommy anyway.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Thanks sweetheart,what's goin' on?
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
I wanted to talk to you about
something.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
What's on your mind?
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
I got a visitor the other night.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
And...
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
It was Jake, Tommy.
                                                            
Tommy stops working and looks over at Maggie, then turns
around and starts working again.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Wow, Tommy McCain with nothing to
say, this is a first.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
There's nothing to say.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Come on Tommy, what would it hurt
just to hear what he has to say?
                                                            
                       TOMMY
What do you want me to say
Maggie?, Hey that's great, bring
him by, we'll have a fuckin'
family reunion. Fuck that, and
fuck him.
                                                            

58.

                       MAGGIE
Jake told me what happened between
the two of you, it was an accident
Tommy.He's changed, he wants to
talk...
                                                            
Tommy stops and walks over to Maggie.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
You don't know what happened, you
weren't there. Changed huh, wants
to talk, the last time he changed
and wanted to talk I came out with
the shit end of the stick
sweetheart.So good old Jake told
you what happened, and of course
as usual you sucked it up. We both
know Jake could never do any wrong
in your eyes Maggie.He's a liar,
he lied to me and he'll lie to
you.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Things change Tommy, people
change, you told me that remember?
You wanted me to believe you
changed, to give you a second
chance, well what if I hadn't? A
second chance is all he's asking
for, he deserves that.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
He doesn't deserve shit. Look
Maggie i don't need your pity and
I sure as hell don't need his. You
can do what you want, hell fuck
him for all I care, it's what you
two have always wanted anyway.
Hell he already fucked me, you
fuck him, then we will all have
fucked each other, one big happy
fuckin family right, Mags...
                                                            
Maggie slaps Tommy with tears in her eyes, then turns to
leave.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
You're a fucking asshole.
                                                            

59.

                       TOMMY
Yeah, well I've heard that before
sweetheart, and I've never denied
it. At least with me what you see
is what you get.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Fuck you Tommy.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
      (laughs)
Yeah, you did that already.
                                                            
 
INT. MAGGIE'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
                                                            
Maggie is telling Jake what happened at Tommy's.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Where are you going?
                                                            
                       JAKE
Tommys.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Don't.
                                                            
                       JAKE
This is between him and me, I
should never have gotten you
involved.
                                                            
As Jake is leaving Tommy is coming in.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Surprise, surprise.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
What are you doing here Tommy?
                                                            
                       TOMMY
I come to make up sweetheart, but
it seems like your old reliable
shoulder to cry on is on the job.
                                                            
                       JAKE
That's enough man,this is between
you and me, I asked her to talk to
you and I shouldn't have, don't
take it out on her.
                                                            

60.

                       TOMMY
Between us, just like in the shop,
right.
                                                            
                       JAKE
I never meant for it to go that
far, I never wanted to hurt you,
you got to belive that.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
I ain't got to believe shit,
except this fuckin limp you left
me with, you got it twisted man.
                                                            
                       JAKE
You're right, I did have it
twisted. Tommy, you and Maggie are
the only family I've known, since
my mom died. Look I fucked up, I
don't know how to make it right,
but i want to try, brother.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
So now your looking for me to make
you feel better?
                                                            
                       JAKE
I'll never feel better Tommy,but I
can't feel any worse, so where do
we go from here?
                                                            
 
INT. JAKE'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
                                                            
The phone rings it's the General.
                                                            
                       JAKE
I don't think it's a good idea for
me to be seen coming and going
from the base, it could jeopardise
what I've accomplished.
                                                            
                       GENERAL (o.c.)
Agreed, but time is of the
essence. We need to know the
players,we have got to gain
control of the situation,
understood?
                                                            
                       JAKE
It takes time to regain trust once
it's been lost, you understand
that right, sir.

There's been a buzz in my ear man,

                       TOMMY
What's the buzz?
                                                            
                       JONES
The buzz is, Jake's still a worker
bee for the hive, and he's gettin
ready to sting.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Love the metaphor man, but what's
that got to do with me?
                                                            
                       JONES
Everything, you're the object of
their affection my man. I'd keep
my eyes open if I were you,
especially around Jake.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Jake's made mistakes, hell we all
have. He's just like the rest of
us man, trying to make it right.
                                                            

62.

                       JONES
I don't know about him being just
like us, I'm just saying watch
yourself, and watch him closer.

Alright, I hear you man.

sits down.

Jake, we've been waiting for you.
Gentlemen this should be as easy

information Able has provided.
Let's have a full run through,
Jake.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Yes sir, O.K. here's how it's
going down...
                                                            
 
EXT. THE LAKE - NIGHT
                                                            
Jake has called Tommy and Maggie to meet him, at their usual
spot down at the lake. When Tommy and Maggie arrive Jake is
sitting on a cooler drinking a beer, Jake watches them as
they walk toward him, a million memories at once flood his
mind.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Hey guys.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
What's up man?
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Yeah, what's so top secret?
                                                            
Jake stands up, opens the cooler and hands each one of them
a beer.
                                                            
                       JAKE
You're going to be pissed, but
just hear me out.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
I already don't like this.
                                                            

64.

                       JAKE
This isn't easy for me.
                                                            
Jake downs the rest of his beer then reaches in the cooler
for another one.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Spit it out man.
                                                            
                       JAKE
I've been lying to you both.
                                                            
Tommy turns to walk off.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
I don't want to hear this.
                                                            
Jake grabs Tommy by the arm.
                                                            
                       JAKE
You said you'd hear me out ,I was
assigned here.
                                                            
Tommy pulls his arm away from Jake and turns up the bottle
of beer. Tommy reaches in the cooler and grabs another beer,
he cracks it open and takes a drink, then wipes his mouth
with the back of his hand.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Let me guess, I'm the assignment.
                                                            
Jake hangs his head and looks at the ground, then starts to
explain.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Man, there's more going on at the
base than you know. Their interest
in pot is more than just casual,
they want to use it as a weapon,
and they want to keep it on the
down low, people like you and
Jones are making that difficult
The base sees you as an obstacle,
and I've been trained to remove
obstacles. You're a threat to them
brother.
                                                            
Tommy walks up to Jake, they are almost nose to nose.
                                                            

65.

                       TOMMY
Brother.. you're gonna call me
brother in the same breath as you
tell me you're hear to take me
out, nice man.
                                                            
Maggie pulls Tommy away from Jake, Tommy turns his back and
then turns up his beer.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
So everything has been a lie? How
could you do this?
                                                            
Maggie starts to back away from Jake, he grabs her hand and
stops her.
                                                            
                       JAKE
No Mags, everything hasn't been a
lie. I'm not going to do anything
to hurt either of you again, I
can't, you two are my family. It
has taken me too long to realize
that, I'm sorry.
                                                            
Tommy walks up behind Maggie and throws his arm around her
neck.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
So again we're just suppose to say
gee, Jake that's o.k., group hug.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Jake what do you expect us to do?
                                                            
                       JAKE
Trust me, I have a plan.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Once bitten, twice shy Jake.
                                                            
Maggie slides out from under Tommy's arm and sits down on
the cooler, she is digging through her purse. Maggie pulls a
fat joint out and lights it.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Tommy when we were in basic they
had me twisted, I wanted so much
to have with my dad what I have
with you two. I was so pissed at
you for putting me under his
thumb, you had a plan, and I
trusted you. I was blinded by my
anger, but coming back here, it's
            (MORE)

66.

                       JAKE (cont'd)
like I can see again, see what
really matters. I know now what I
want, what I need. There was a
time once were all we needed
between each other was our word.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
You changed that Jake, that's on
you.
                                                            
Tommy walks over to Maggie and she hands him the joint.
                                                            
                       JAKE
You're right, it is on me, this
time. The question is are you
going to trust my plan now like I
did yours then.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Shit man, when you put it like
that...hell no, don't you remember
how my plan turned out?
                                                            
                       JAKE
Yeah, I remember, that's why you
owe me this.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Hold on just a fucking minute.
What the hell are you talking
about, this has something to do
with why you to joined up doesn't
it?
                                                            
                       JAKE
Yeah, it does.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Look I deserve to know everything,
and you're going to tell me, why
would you continue to fuck around
with the people who tore you two
apart, haven't they done enough
damage.
                                                            
                       JAKE
we'll tell you everything Mags,
but they're going to do what they
want with or without me. I can't
stop it now, but I think I can
change the outcome this time.
                                                            
Tommy passes Jake the joint.
                                                            

67.

                       TOMMY
What's your plan?
                                                            
 
INT. THE BAR - NIGHT
                                                            
Tommy shows up at the bar looking for Jones. Tommy takes a
seat at the bar next to Jones.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Nice place.
                                                            
                       JONES
Suits me. What brings you here?
                                                            
                       TOMMY
That buzz in your ear.
                                                            
                       JONES
Yeah.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
You were right, it's coming down,
and Jake's the one who's bringing
it. I need your help man, in the
mood for some pay back?
                                                            
                       JONES
      (laughs)
Brother, I'm always in the mood.
                                                            
 
INT. TOMMY'S NURSERY - NIGHT
                                                            
Tommy is sitting alone smoking a blunt listening to Stevie
Ray Vaughan, "the sky is crying", he's waiting, he knows it
won't be long now, they're coming for him and Jake is
leading the way. Tommy can't help but think maybe he's the
one getting it twisted now, can he really trust Jake, well
it's a little to late to worry about it now. Tommy takes a
long draw off the blunt, it has an ash on it about an inch
long. Tommy flips the ash off the end of the blunt, and
before it hits the floor, the door is kicked open. Jake is
the first one through the door, Tommy and Jake's eyes meet,
Tommy gives Jake a half smile, it's on.
                                                            
The bust.

                       JONES

As Jones is finishing his sentence he is snagged up by a
booby trap and is hanging upside down from a tree.

Maggie spins around, one of the vets is standing there
shotgun in hand. The vet is in camo, looks like he just
stepped out of the jungle. Maggie can't help but feel
intimidated, these muther fuckers have seen alot of shit and
it shows.
                                                            
                       VET ONE

ears, and hands we can get.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
We can get in, it's getting out
that will be the problem.

                       GENERAL

Jake puts his hand on Maggie's cheek, Maggie puts her hand
on his, slides it to her lips and kisses the palm.
                                                            

76.

                       JONES
We got to scat boys.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
Take care of them Jones.
                                                            
                       JONES
Darlin', if there's one thing I
know, It's how to take care of my
friends.
                                                            
Maggie grabs Jones by the collar and kisses him, then let's
him go.
                                                            
                       MAGGIE
You sure do, darlin'.
                                                            
                       JONES
Hey know, if it's like that...
                                                            
Jones steps toward Maggie, smiling.
                                                            
Tommy grabs Jones by the shoulder.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Let's go man.
                                                            
Maggie watches as her boys get in the van and drive off. She
remembers, and hates this feeling, but she knows one day
they will be back, and she'll be here waiting for them.
                                                            
CUT TO INTERIOR OF THE VAN
                                                            
Jones is driving, he reaches for a blunt and sparks it, he
passes it back to Jake and Tommy.
                                                            
                       TOMMY
Well brother, it's been a long
time coming, but we're finally
doing it.
                                                            
                       JAKE
Yeah, we kinda took the long way
around, huh brother.
                                                            
                       JONES
Just goes to show ya what can
happen when you put a few good
heads together.
                                                            


FADE OUT.
