AN ei6t-ir iNIST-
F4pisode Six: Hang on Cap Times Readers! Our
nasty villians are closing in on Glenn and the
incriminating photos. The receipt from their
fateful cab ride is leading them right to the cabbie
that gave Glenn a ride home.
EXTERIOR. WAREHOUSE-LATER
The same location the story began, up the street from where Glenn caught his taxi. The
building he believes the men took the woman. It's approximately 9 a.m. Glenn is walking
up the street.
GLENN: This must be the place. (to himself)
Glenn is looking all around. He passes the doorway a couple of times. He stops and starts
peering into the windows. We zoom in on his back. The music gets more intense. The cam
era is moving toward him. A hand reaches out toward him and taps his shoulder. Glenn
almgst jumps out of his skin.
GLENN: Ahhhhh!
As he•turns around, a MAN standing in front of him says
MAN: I'm sorry to startle you. Do you know where Chantarelle is?
A look of relief comes over Glenn's face.
GLENN: Yeah ...it's right around the corner . . .you can't miss it
Glenn points in that direction
MAN: Thank you. And again, I'm sorry to have frightened you
The man walks around the corner. The camera zooms in on Glenn. A long wide shot
reveals the whole building. Glenn starts walking to the right, and just as he disappears
around the corner, the warehouse door opens and 800 and Shorty walk out.
CUT 'TO: INTERIOR. WAREHOUSE - LATER
Rocco and Johnny are waiting inside the warehouse. Johnny is eating a bucket of
Kentucky Fried Chicken.
ROCCO: How can you eat that soul food?
Johnny's mouth is full
JOHNNY: What do you mean . . . soul food? This is some good sh*t
ROCCO: You Irish, will eat anything. (laughing) I talked to my dad last night. He said to
say "hello."
JOHNNY: Oh yeah . . . When's he getting out?
ROCCO: A couple more months. They're sending him to Elmira to finish his bid
JOHNNY: Gladiator school?
ROCCO: What?
JOHNNY: Gladiator School . .. that's what they call Elmira .. . a lot of fighting
young f*#ks.
ROCCO: Oh great. Just what the old man needs
JOHNNY: I wouldn't worry about him
They smile
ROCCO walks toward the photo of Joe DiMaggio
ROCCO: You see this baby? (pointing at the picture) This is my most prized possession
. . . Joltin Joe . . . My father used to take me and my brother to Cooperstown every year .
you know for the Hall of Fame game . . . You know . . . every year an American League
team plays a National League team. This particular year it was the Yankees and the
Dodgers. Bobby Valentine was playing for the Dodgers then. Early seventies . . . And my
dad knew some guard there or something. As each Hall of Famer came out of their limo .
we'd get their autographs . . . I got'em all. Koufax, Feller, Musial. But the one I always

wanted to be like was DiMaggio . .. and I never even seen 'em play. But the way people
talked about him . . . Was like he was a god . . . My dad thought he was . . . he must have
been the greatest.
JOHNNY: That's what they say. Yeah, me and your dad have been through a lot. You
know when you spend as much time together as me and your dad did. You get to really
know a person. He's a great man.
The door opens and 800 and Shorty enter with the cab driver. Rocco and Johnny get up
and walk toward them.
ROCCO: Is this the c#*ksucker who has our camera?
BOO: This is the cab driver from last night
They place him in front of Rocco. He's petrified
ROCCO: You remember these guys from last night?
CAB DRIVER: Yeah. I picked them up in my cab. What the f*@k is going on?
ROCCO: You know me? (very calmly)
CAB DRIVER: I've seen your picture in the paper.
OCCO: Then you know this is serious
CAB DRIVER: Listen ... I've got a family
ROCCO: (cuts him off) You tell me what I want to know . . . You walk away. Now again
...you remember these guys from last night . . .
CAB DRIVER: Yes.
ROCCO: And you didn't find a camera like this in the car after they got out?
Rocco takes a disposable camera out of his pocket and shows him
CAB DRIVER: No, I didn't even look. I swear. A guy got in the cab right after they got
out . . . A photographer.
They reac
ROCCO: You remember where you dropped this guy off?
CAB DRIVER: Yeah
JOHHNY: Where motherf*&ker?
CAB DRIVER: West Broadway and Houston
ROCCO: What did he look like?
800 presses the gun into his temple
CAB DRIVER: Look , I don't want no trouble . . . He was a young dude
Rocco is getting pissed. 800 puts the gun in his mouth
BOO: You better start getting more specific, asshole
CAB DRIVER: A good looking young guy, like . . . like Ricky Martin . . . you know on
MTV. (barely understood with the gun in his mouth)
Rocco smiles
ROCCO: Go find this . . . Ricky Martin
Everyone smiles, except the cabbie
FADE TO BLACK
Holy music video! Glenn looks like Ricky Martin?
The bad guys know where Glenn's apartment is . .
and they have a description.
