. Deelo is shouting on the phone at his script supervisor Leonard, in regards to the script he’s made for the upcoming movie that he generally finds rather lackluster.

. LEONARD: Script supervisor at Lowtop studios, and son of Deelo. Bold hardworking young man in his twenties who enjoys taking risks his relationship with his father is a bit rough.

Deelo

Look I don’t care how long it’ll take Leonard it doesn’t work, fix the damn thing, and have it done by tomorrow or I’ll have you out on the streets faster than you can read.

Leonard

Yes sir! I’ll have that done for you asap...

Leonard hangs the phone up.

INT APPARTMENT NIGHT: Dimly lit bedroom, messy mounds of scripts and loglines are sitting on the bed Leonard is sitting on his bed alongside empty bottles of cheap wine spread across the sheets. He’s sitting in silence staring down at the floor as if lost. The phone rings, Leonard picks up the phone and answers.

Leonard

Sigh, Hello?

WOMAN

Leonard

Yeah… yeah let’s do it.

INT OFFICE NIGHT:

Hit man 2 writes down the price, and hands it to Deelo in which Deelo looks up in astonishment and chuckles.

DEELO

Haha you guys don’t play around.

HITMAN 1

So when do we get the money?

DEELO

After you finish the job.

Deelo reaches into his back pocket and pulls out a list of his competition.

DEELO

Here’s who I want you to take care of.

Hit man 2 grabs the sheet and looks at Hit man 1 for assurance.

HITMAN 1

They leave the office in which Deelo responds by sitting back in his recliner smoking a cigar waiting for the games to begin.

The hit men exit the car and make preparations establishing their artillery before proceeding on their mission.

. INT OFFICE OF STUDIO 2-NIGHT

Art director is sitting in recliner watching film footage of upcoming film he’s producing, and then hears screaming, and loud noises. The hit men break the door down and kill the director on the spot. Blood splatters on the computer screen before fading into a montage of the hit men killing off several more studios over the span of a few days. The hit men go on an onslaught as they take out various other studios killing notable directors such as Waltz Gorbachev, Luke Wineland, and Eddie Sausage in his sleep. Through the onslaught the hit men would thoroughly use smokescreens, stealth, and heavy artillery at which they successfully proceeded to kill off 4 more minor studios that week with not a trace on their fingers.

. INT OFFICE- NIGHT

Deelo picks up the phone, the hit men tell him of their handy work, and their preparations to take out the major studio known as Lexington studio. As of hearing the news Deelo is pleased.

HITMAN 1

We’ve killed off several of the studios. Were headed for some of the big ones now. We might even get done ahead of schedule.

DEELO

Good to hear, I look forward to seeing you at the end of the week.

He hangs the phone up.

. INT OFFICE- NIGHT

Deelo is sitting in his recliner chair watching film footage when he receives a phone call. To his surprise it's the head of Lexington Studio, the studio the hit men Deelo had hired were supposed to write off.

FITZGERALD

Head of lexington studio in his mid 30s, a rather arrogant man with a lot of power.

DEELO

Hello?

INT OFFICE STUDIO 3-NIGHT

He raises the drink to his lips and causally takes a sip and answers the phone.

FITZGERALD

I must say I commend your efforts Deelo; though amateurish at best you've managed to entertain me at least for a little. Hehe you really surprised me on this one I didn't think you'd ever try to do something so drastic, and yet so stupid in hopes to better your situation hehehe.

INT OFFICE-NIGHT

Deelo stands cold for a minute.

He wipes the sweat from his brow.

DEELO

What are you taking about?

INT OFFICE STUDIO 3- NIGHT

FITZGERALD

Aw come on Deelo don't play ignorant now, you've failed Deelo. I have you're men apprehended, they've told me everything, and as a means of retaliation I thought I'd send you mine in return. They should be there soon too, don't worry I told them to be gentle, after all kin is important.

INT OFFICE- NIGHT

DEELO

Wha..wha..what?

BANG, suddenly the office door is knocked down. Deelo covers up for safety. As he opens his eyes and looks up he sees familiar faces. The face of a neglected offspring, and the face of a sister never acknowledged as one.

DEELO

Katherine...Leonard. What do you think you're doing?

LEONARD

What's necessary.

.Fitzgerald sits back in his recliner smoking a Cigar as two gunshots are heard through the phone.
