The landscape of Thailand is a sea of bustling people and
aged buildings. Heat shimmers off the ground, making the
whole area seem like it’s perspiring.
Through the bustling of cabs and people, we find CHAROEN (mid-
20’s, but his eyes seem aged, hardened) and his sister, SUNTI
(early 20’s street smart and cautious).
CHAROEN
When we get in, let me do the
talking.
SUNTI
They’re my connect.
CHAROEN
I’m not asking.
SUNTI
You think, you can handle this
better than me?
Charoen stops, stares her down, unblinking…
CHAROEN
We need this, I’m not letting you
screw it up.
Sunti pauses, this hurts. Charoen sees the pain in her eyes,
relents a tiny bit.
CHAROEN (CONT'D)
Aye, I got Dad’s negotiating
skills, you got Mom’s looks. Let’s
just use what we got, okay?
SUNTI
Fine.
Charoen puts a hand on her shoulder. They don’t hug, a
shoulder pat is as close as they get.
INT. BAR - BACK ROOM - CONT.
Charoen leads Sunti through the bar and to a back room, where
we meet SOMCHAI (50’s, Godfather of the Thai gang scene).
2.
He’s eating CHILI SHRIMP with his fingers. Behind him, stand
FIVE INTIMIDATING, TATTED-UP THAI GANGSTERS.
SOMCHAI
Sunti, this your brother?
CHAROEN
Charoen. It’s an honor to meet you,
sir.
Somchai eyes them, then licks his fingers clean, then offers
his hand to shake. Charoen pauses, disgusting.
SOMCHAI
Call me by name, do you know it?
Say it.
CHAREON
Somchai?
SOMCHAI
That’s right, exactly right.
Charoen forgoes his foreboding rhetoric, shakes his hand
hard. Somchai, with their hands linked turns their hands over
to look at their wrists.
On BOTH of their wrists, we see SUN TATTOOS.
SOMCHAI
I see you’re affiliated.
CHAROEN
Since I was 12.
SOMCHAI
You both came recommended. They
tell you what we need?
CHAROEN
Sunti filled me in.
Somchai nods, then he nods to the men behind him.
SOMCHAI
We lost three men last week. Dumb
fucks got themselves killed.
CHAROEN
I understand.
SOMCHAI
Good.
3.
Somchai snaps his fingers and one of the tatted up men, puts
a METAL BRIEFCASE on the table.
SOMCHAI
I’ll send you the location for the
meetup. They’ll bring the money.
You count the money first, all of
it. Then make the trade. Got it?
CHAROEN
Understood. Count the money, make
the trade.
SOMCHAI
You do this right, five percent
goes to you.
CHAROEN
I was told ten.
Somchai, annoyed, looks to Sunti.
SOMCHAI
I told you five.
Now, Charoen looks to Sunti.
SUNTI
I -- uh --
CHAROEN
(interrupting)
Ten percent.
Somchai eyes him for a beat, behind him his men shuffle,
almost ready to pounce at a moment’s notice.
SOMCHAI
I’m not a man to be fucked with.
CHAROEN
You’re businessmen. We’re
businessmen --
SOMCHAI
We’re not businessmen! We’re not
equals! You’re the fucking help;
shitty replacements. I can hire ten
more of you off the streets if I
needed to!
Behind Somchai, one of his thugs reaches for a KNIFE in his
belt loop... a threat...
4.
CHAROEN
(calm)
But, you won’t.
(a beat)
You need us, you need the money.
Someone you can trust. So drop the
bullshit and hold on to what you
promised and we’ll do what we do
best: deliver.
Somchai eyes him for a long beat, then -- LAUGHS.
SOMCHAI
Oh, you’re good. You’re good.
Somchai then reaches a hand out and daps Charoen up.
SOMCHAI
I had to test you.
(to Sunti)
You weren’t kidding, your brother
is a hard motherfucker. You get
half up front, survive, you’ll get
the other five percent.
Somchai slides him the case, then gets up to speak to his
men.
SOMCHAI
Follow his lead, get back here
safe, and we’ll break open every
beer in the back.
The men smirk, finally lightening up. Somchai nods to the
siblings.
SOMCHAI
Make me proud, then we drink!

The Last Mission
EXT. BOEING V-22 OSPREY - NIGHT
A MILITARY PLANE cuts through the night.
INT. BOEING V-22 OSPREY - CARGO HOLD - CONT.
A makeshift COMMAND CENTER has been set up in the cargo hold,
where we meet WOLFE (tall, broad shouldered, military man,
with haunted, piercing eyes) and MASON (All-American looks,
with an easy going nature) as they reconstruct their rifles.
WOLFE
God. You’re still slow.
5.
MASON
I know what I’m doing.
WOLFE
Oh, really?
A beat, the two men eye each other...a challenge.
MASON
Put money on it, a hundred?
WOLFE
Make it two?
Mason IMMEDIATELY picks up the pace, before saying --
MASON
You’re on!
Wolfe cracks a sly grin, SUDDENLY doubling his pace.
MASON
Son of a bitch.
Mason like a machine, begins to construct his rifle. Their
hands race as they rebuild the chambers of their rifles.
MASON
Better get that money, ready.
WOLFE
You’re gonna leave another mission
broke.
Wolfe twists the barrel on, slaps the butt of the gun into
place. Then whistles, claspsing the last piece of his rifle
together.
WOLFE
That’ll be a two hundred bucks.
MASON
Oh, fuck you.
Mason shoves him back playfully.
WOLFE
You had a headstart too. I shoulda
put a grand down.
MASON
Yeah, yeah. Take it, I’ll get it
back before the end of this op.
6.
Mason takes two hundred dollar bills out and slides them to
Wolfe. From a back door, ALBERTO (A family man, whose
mastered the balance between military life and family life)
and CURTIS (Short fuse, but a good hand in battle) walk in.
CURTIS
Did Wolfe school you again?
MASON
I don’t wanna talk about it.
ALBERTO
You’ll beat him one of these days.
WOLFE
Not likely.
The men chuckle. Curtis sits down across from them.
CURTIS
I learned my lesson long time ago.
Wolfe’s got the quickest hands in
the West.
WOLFE
Come on, I’m trying to be humble.
ALBERTO
You’ve taken money from all of us,
ain’t no use being humble. Accept
it.
WOLFE
I’ll accept as much money from
y’all as you keep putting down.
Wolfe flashes the two hundred dollars, then before he pockets
it, he hands it back to Mason.
MASON
What are you doing?
WOLFE
Some things are about more than
money.
Off Masons look -- The door to the cockpit opens up and two
more men enter. This is BAXTER (The brains of the team and
the only woman, a born strategist)and CLAYTON (late 40s, a
former Navy Seal who commands any room he walks in).
CLAYTON
Are you boys gambling on my op
again?
7.
The men straighten up as he enters.
ALBERTO
Not much of a gamble if Mason’s got
no chance.
MASON
Fuck off, Alberto.
They chuckle, lightly shove him.
BAXTER
We’re 20 minutes out of Thai
airspace, so let’s get moving.
Baxter’s voice is stern, robotic almost. She keeps things
moving.
MASON
Yes, ma’am.
Baxter sends him a look, don’t ma’am me.
WOLFE
Ready to brief, when you all are.
CLAYTON
Now is as good a time as ever.
Clayton stands in front of them, prepares to speak.
CLAYTON
Look alive, Okaloosa.
Like a switch going off in their heads’, the team members all
focus up and lean in. Clayton stands by the makeshift command
center, as Baxter works the screen.
CLAYTON
This should be a simple extract.
BAXTER
Our client has asked us to secure a
package for them.
Baxter taps the screen and a PHOTO appears of THE SAME METAL
BRIEFCASE that we saw in Somchai’s hands appears on screen.
CLAYTON
Our connect in Thailand has given
us the location of the briefcase.
We are to breach, grab our target --
and move out.
8.
ALBERTO
Do we know what’s in the briefcase?
BAXTER
That doesn’t matter. What matters
is that our client is paying us to
retrieve it.
CLAYTON
Correction, they are paying triple
our rate to retrieve it, so it’s
gonna get done, no exceptions.
A beat as this settles on the men, triple our rate?
WOLFE
How are we supposed to handle the
opposition? Are we talking full
measures?
(gestures slitting throat)
Or just detain them?
Baxter looks to Clayton for an answer.
CLAYTON
Neutralize and detain. These are
just low rent gangsters, we don’t
expect heavy resistance. We’ll be
going in to neutralize.
Baxter clicks a button and a few pictures of a WAREHOUSE
appear on screen.
BAXTER
We have actionable intel that
they’ll be positioned in a
warehouse in the Sumat district.
CLAYTON
Our M.O. will be to “silent enter-
and-detain”. We’ll extract our
briefcase and be back on this plane
within four hours. In out and
richer than we’ve ever been.
CURTIS
I like the sound of that.
MASON
Good, more money Wolfe can win off
of us.
WOLFE
Just call me the house.
9.
The men chuckle, at ease. Baxter clips to another image, it’s
a map of the area.
BAXTER
The pilots will be touching us down
at the airfield in twenty.
(points to map)
An armored van will be waiting for
us, where we’ll use for transpo.
CLAYTON
This is the score of a lifetime. An
easy op, with a high paying client.
Okaloosa, Let’s make it clean and
make it back home before dinner.
LATER
A PATCH READING: Okaloosa fills the frame as Wolfe slips into
his outfit. All black, with external magazine pouches, a
thigh harness for his pistol, a radio/mic on the shoulder.
Wolfe rolls his shoulders, settles into the outfit.
CLAYTON
My God, have you gotten bigger?
Clayton walks over and clasps Wolfe’s shoulder.
WOLFE
Shit, maybe, I got a good pump
before we left out.
CLAYTON
Looking good, kid.
Clayton then leans, this part is private.
CLAYTON
Let’s chat when this is over.
WOLFE
We can chat now.
CLAYTON
I don’t wanna spoil --
WOLFE
Cat is halfway out the bag, what’s
up?
10.
CLAYTON
...This is likely to be our biggest
payday in years. I won’t get this
chance again.
WOLFE
Cap, what are you --
CLAYTON
This is my last op.
(a beat)
And I want you to take over
operations for Okaloosa after.
WOLFE
You’re playing.
CLAYTON
I’m not. I’m damn near sixty years
old and this is a young man’s game.
Wolfe pauses, reads Clayton’s face. He’s serious.
WOLFE
Cap, I’m not ready...
CLAYTON
Neither was I, but I’ll help with
the transition. There’s no one else
I’d rather see lead Okaloosa than
you.
(a beat)
Don’t tell the guys yet, I know how
they get before ops.
Wolfe nods.
WOLFE
We’ll chat after.
Clayton shakes his hand.
CLAYTON
After.

The Blackout
INT. THAI WAREHOUSE – NIGHT
We are in a bare bones warehouse. Brick walls, steel rebar
columns every couple of yards and a network of rusted
stairwells and catwalks above them.
11.
Blinking halogen light bulbs buzz above them. The warehouse
is decorated with abandoned metal pipes and metal making
equipment.
Charoen and Sunti sit by a stack of bricks, a few feet tall,
where they’ve placed the briefcase on.
SUNTI
You handled that well earlier.
A few yards away the Somchai’s five men stand amongst
themselves.
CHAROEN
I know his type.
SUNTI
You gotta teach me how to do that.
CHAROEN
When people give you shit, you give
it right back. You don’t blink, you
just push forward. Dad taught me
that.
A somber moment, then --
SUNTI
What should we do with our cut?
CHAROEN
We get out the game.
(gestures to the men)
We don’t want to end up like them,
living our lives under the thumb of
someone else.
SUNTI
I always wanted to open a tea shop.
Charoen studies her, she’s serious.
CHAROEN
A tea shop?
SUNTI
Yeah, like Mom used to do.
Charoen remembers, nods.
CHAROEN
Then that’s what we’ll --
EVERYTHING GOES BLACK AS THE LIGHTS GO OUT.
12.
Only SHAFTS OF MOONLIGHT break through the warehouse,
illuminating the emptiness of the warehouse.
SUNTI
What the hell!?
Charoen draws a pistol, calls out --
CHAROEN
On me! Defend the case!
The five men also draw their guns. All their guns are OLD,
misshapen, dented, not much of a threat. Sunti reaches behind
her back, draws a COMBAT KNIFE.
WE HOLD ON THEM, THEN DRAW BACK --
We are WATCHING A THERMAL READOUT OF THEIR BODIES, through a
pair of BINOCULARS.

Oh yeah.
CLAYTON
How many?
BAXTER
Seven.
Clayton signals “7” to the men. The Okaloosa team, outfitted
in all black are barely visible in the dark.
CLAYTON
Move. Ten minutes in, ten minutes
out.
Wolfe hesitates, Mason catches it, nudges him.
MASON
You good?
Wolfe nods, unconvincingly.
MASON
Something up?
13.
WOLFE
I’m good.

Let’s move.
Mason wants to press, but there is no time. The team is on
the move, one at a time, single file, guns leveled. Alberto
is in the lead.
Alberto puts a hand up. Halt.
The team slams to a halt, by an adjacent building.
Alberto has reached a door.
ALBERTO

Curtis and Mason race to the door. Curtis slams a pack of
EXPLOSIVE PUTTY to the door, while Mason plugs in a TRIGGER

UNISON
Down! Hands up! Down! Hands up!
One of the gangsters rises to fire, but Wolfe kicks his
wrist, BREAKING IT, then CRACKS him in the face with the
rifle.
Charoen watches as the gangsters grapple with the Okaloosa
team. One gangster tears the Okaloosa patch from Alberto’s
arm, falls with it in his hand.
Sunti stirs up, Charoen picks her up, he’s got the briefcase
in hand.
CHAROEN
Up! Up!

Sunti sees the Okaloosa team coming in like tactical demons.

No, go -- go!

Wolfe sees Charoen sprinting for the stairs, heading up into
the belly of the warehouse -- more importantly, Wolfe sees
the briefcase.

Clayton and the Okaloosa team bum rush the gangsters,

Confrontation in the Warehouse
INT. THAI WAREHOUSE - HALLWAY - CONT.
Charoen runs into the hallway -- he makes a beeline to a door
with a FIRE ESCAPE PICTURE.
He’s halfway there, when Wolfe makes it up the stairs, aims,
then -- FIRES into the floor!
WOLFE
Freeze!
Charoen stops, spins and FIRES! Wolfe ducks out the way as
shots blow past. Wolfe unclips a FLASH BANG from his hip and
fast balls it down the hall.
15.
Charoen sees it land, spins to the FIRE ESCAPE DOOR, BUT --
SHHH-POW! The flashbang erupts with enough blinding force to
throw him against a wall!
CHAROEN POV: His whole world spins and burns. Marching out of
the chaos is Wolfe, looking like a nightmare in all black
tactical gear.
As Wolfe approaches him, Charoen snaps back to life, draws
his gun, but Wolfe grabs his hand, slaps the gun away.
WOLFE
Stay - dow --
Charoen swings the briefcase at him, CRACKS Wolfe...
But Wolfe doesn’t budge, just stares him down, as A THIN
TRAIL OF BLOOD RUNS DOWN HIS STERN VISAGE.
WOLFE
That all?
Charoen moves to attack, but Wolfe kicks him back. His boot
is the size of Charoen’s chest, so as it connects Charoen is
sent FLYING BACK AGAINST THE WALL.
Charoen shrugs if off, drops the case, DRAWS A KNIFE! The two
break into a close-quarters fight as Charoen lunges at Wolfe!
The pair tumble against a plaster wall, Charoen is fast --
lightning fast!
Wolfe tries to grapple him, Charoen slashes Wolfe’s arm, then
scrambles back... a stalemate...
CHAROEN
That all?
Wolfe smirks, then lunges back at him. The two grapple again,
as Charoen’s knife flicks by Wolfe. The two roll to the
floor. Charoen manages to mount Wolfe, raises the knife over
his head, but -- Wolfe grabs the briefcase, uses it to block
the knife!
Wolfe gets up and behind Charoen, puts him in a sleeper, then
lifts! Wolfe heaves the smaller man up by the neck, like the
Undertaker, and chokeslams him into the wall!
Charoen impacts off the brick wall, slaps to the floor and
doesn’t move. Wolfe, grabs his gun, puts a boot to Charoen’s
head.

Charoen shakes it off, stirs from the floor.
Sunti, Charoen, and the five men are sitting in the middle of
the warehouse, their hands are ziptied behind their backs.
CHAROEN
Fuck...
SUNTI
I’m sorry.
CHAROEN
You okay?
SUNTI
My leg.
Charoen snaps awake now, he looks to Sunti’s leg -- where
Wolfe shot her -- it’s still bleeding. In fact, Sunti looks
pale... she’s lost a lot of blood.
CHAROEN
We’ll get you out of here.
Sunti nods unconvincingly. Then behind Sunti, Charoen spots

WOLFE
Sir?
They look at each other, unnerved. Baxter bites her lip.
BAXTER
They’re unarmed, sir.
BEHIND THEM, Sunti is rolling her fingers towards, a KNIFE in
her belt loop. She pinches it and pulls it free.
SUNTI
I can get them.
Charoen hesitates, weighs the odds, tries to calm her. They
whisper to each other.
CHAROEN
Wait...we’re outnumbered.
SUNTI
We can kill them.
CHAROEN
No...No...
Charoen, with renewed urgency, begins to fight against his
own ziptie bonds. We glimpse his gang affiliated sun tattoo
again. Charoen’s hands are sweaty, bloody, allows him to
nearly pull -- free.
CHAROEN
Wait...wait...
A few yards away, the Okaloosa team begins to argue amongst
themselves.

DISLOCATES his THUMB, GRITS his teeth.

Charoen finally slips his arm free, but --
Sunti, knife in hand, is already up to a crouch, lining up --

INT. TATTOO PARLOR – NIGHT
DECHA (30’s, Thai tattoo artist) is inside a DINGY looking
tattoo parlor. He is counting money in the cash register. We
glimpse his hand, were we see the SUN TATTOO of the Thai
gangsters. The door chimes as it opens. He doesn’t look up.
DECHA
We’re closed.
Footsteps approach.
DECHA
I said, “we’re closed.”
Then a bloody hand slaps his table, he looks up at Charoen.
CHAROEN
Doctor. Now.
Charoen flashes his SUN TATTOO on his wrist. Decha recognizes
it, knows what it means.
INT. TATTOO PARLOR – BACK ROOM - CONT.
Charoen drops into a chair and Decha slides over to him, with
a plate of alcohol, pliers, needle, and thread.
DECHA
What happened?

CHAROEN
Americans.
DECHA
This is gonna hur --
CHAROEN
Do it.
Decha pours the alcohol over the bullet wound. Charoen
seethes, grips the chair, fights the pain.
EXT. AIRFIELD - DAWN
SUPER: Okaloosa, Florida. USA.
The Osprey has landed on an empty airfield. We can feel the
Florida humidity from here, even at dawn. Salty winds and
crisp ocean air fill the air.
Yet as the team disembarks, the mood is dark. Mason’s body is
carried out on a military gurney; Wolfe and Clayton in the
front, Curtis and Alberto in the back. Baxter has the silver
briefcase in her hands.
CLAYTON
Wolfe, we should talk.
WOLFE
Nothing to talk about.
CLAYTON
I know you’re not the type of guy
to run.
Wolfe stops turns to him.
WOLFE
That op was a shitshow, a setup. I
don’t care how much we’re being
paid.
Wolfe pauses eyes all of them, before he decides.
WOLFE
I’m done.
CLAYTON
Now, wait a damn min --
WOLFE
No! I’m done taking orders from
you! Done!

Wolfe towers over Clayton, his eyes focused. Clayton eyes the
other men, then back to Wolfe.
CLAYTON
You’re for real?
Wolfe nods.
CLAYTON
I’ll do the paperwork, forward you
your cut.
Wolfe nods, backs off, looks to the others.
WOLFE
If y’all know what’s good for you,
you’d be leaving too.
Wolfe marches off, alone, brewing. Baxter walks over and
takes Wolfe’s place to hold up Mason’s gurney.
CURTIS
Boss...

Whatever is in that case, I hope it
was damn worth it. Okaloosa just
lost two men.

his shoulder. The door opens and his eyes peel open.

Decha leads Somchai in and Charoen snaps awake.
SOMCHAI

Charoen, bruised and stained with dried blood looks up at
him.

CHAROEN
We were attacked.
SOMCHAI
And the case?
CHAROEN
...Gone.
Somchai picks up Sunti’s knife from the table, right by the
bullet Decha took out of him and puts the knife to his eye.
SOMCHAI
Gone?!
CHAROEN
They killed everyone. Even my
sister. Everyone!
Somchai hesitates leans in with the blade.
CHAROEN
If you’re going to do it, then do
it. My parents, my sister, I’ve
lost everything -- so do it!
A tense beat passes, between them --
CHAROEN
But, if you don’t, I will find
them. I will kill each and every
one of them.
Charoen doesn’t blink, even with a knife nearly in his eye.
SOMCHAI
You’re angry?
Charoen simmers, boiling over.
SOMCHAI
Good.
Somchai releases him, steps back.
SOMCHAI
Who were they?

The Shore Shack is a beach bar along the Florida coast. A
parking lot that goes from asphalt to sand. An exterior made
of sandalwood, interior crafted with wood and leather. Palm
trees and ocean water decorate the horizon behind it.
Wolfe’s pickup pulls up outside, parks. There is only one
other car in the lot.
INT. SHORE SHACK - SEATING AREA - CONT.
Wolfe walks in, the place is empty, except for VICKIE (30’s
Florida born and raised, never shows fear) who brightens as
she sees him. There is an immediate connection, they are old
lovers.
VICKIE
If you came here for a free drink,
you’re in the wrong spot.
Wolfe takes a seat at the bar, admires her.
WOLFE
Just came to see you.
VICKIE
Keep talking sweet and you might
get more than a free drink.
Wolfe, despite everything smiles. She leans across the bar,
studies his face.
VICKIE
What happened?
WOLFE
Shit.
VICKIE
Classified shit?
Wolfe shakes his head, doesn’t want to discuss.
VICKIE
Aight, how bout that drink.

Vickie goes under the bar, grabs A BEER, pops it open. She
slides it to him. He picks it up, gulps --
VICKIE
So what brings you he...
Vickie trails off as he gulps-gulps-and-gulps. He finishes
the beer.
VICKIE
That bad?
Wolfe puts the bottle down, she replaces it with another
beer. He goes to drink and she catches his arm, stops him.
VICKIE
This one isn’t on the house.
(leans in)
Talk to me.
WOLFE
We lost Mason.
The words hit her like a cold shower, she recoils. He sips
his beer, grateful to vent a bit.
VICKIE

know?

I haven’t talked to her yet.

Vickie softens, hears the pain in his voice.

Wolfe can only nod.
VICKIE
So what’ll you do?

Wolfe looks up and sees his pained reflection in the mirror.

FLASHBACK: Charoen watches as the gangster grapple with the

A car HORN draws his attention. A CAB sits on the corner,
waiting for him. NATHAN (20’s, fluent in sarcasm, sneaky), a
thai man, raised in America stands by the cab.
NATHAN
Charoen?

That’s me. Nathan?
The two men shake hands, we glimpse Nathan has the same sun
tattoo on his wrist.

also very chic, there is a lot of money in here. THREE MORE
EMPLOYEES eye them as they pass.

pass. The men eye Charoen, but his eyes say, don’t fuck with
me.
NATHAN
He’s back here.
Nathan leads him to a door, where a large THAI MAN in a black
suit is standing guard.
NATHAN
Chiang Mai is expecting us.
The man looks them both over, then knocks on the door. There
is the sound of bolts moving and unlocking, then the door
opens.
INT. THAI RESTAURANT - OFFICE - CONT.
It’s an OFFICE, with the appeal of a VIP room: An oval room,
brown leather couches, red curtains, three long tables --

more American than the other gangsters we saw in Thailand.

Been a minute, huh?

Too long. Glad to see you’re doing
well.

Wolfe pulls up in his truck.

Shut up. He’s the only reason
Alberto is still alive.
Curtis swallows his anger as Wolfe walks over to them.
WOLFE
It’s a miracle we made it out.
CURTIS
It was really that motherfucker
from Thailand, did all this?
WOLFE
God as my witness. Same guy who
killed Mason.

Who is your client? What the fuck
have they got us in to?
CLAYTON
This is beyond the client now.
CURTIS
That client gonna reimburse us for
the plane?

We got bigger problems than that.
We’ve got a bloodhound, on our own

WOLFE
Because of the client. Now who are
they?
CLAYTON
They are paying us. I will deliver
your money as I get it.

And what about the fucker hunting

Oh, good you are still alive.

Out of hand? You blew up a whole

A Promise to Protect
INT. SHORE SHACK – DINING AREA - NIGHT
Vickie is wiping down the last of the tables. She sprays them
with cleaner, wipes it down with a rag. The door opens behind
her, she perks up and turns as Wolfe walks in.
VICKIE
Wolfe?
WOLFE
Figured you’d be closing down.
VICKIE
I saw the news last night, was that
you?
Off Wolfe’s face, we --
LATER
The two sit at one of the tables at the bar, we come in mid-
conversation with them. There are beers.
VICKIE
Jesus, so he’ll make it?
WOLFE
Hopefully.
Wolfe nods, then sips his beer.
WOLFE
The whole time I was thinking, I
was going to lose him. That Alberto
was gonna die just like Mason and
I’d have to tell his wife and his
son -- it was my fault.
VICKIE
But, you saved him. That’s gotta
count for something.
Vickie leans back, studies him.
VICKIE
You should have quit Okaloosa years
ago.
WOLFE
I couldn’t. I needed the money. We
needed the money.
51.
VICKIE
Don’t put this on me. The reason we
didn’t work out, was because of
this.
(gestures to him)
You bring the war home with you
every time.
Wolfe pauses, taking those words in.
VICKIE
I loved you Wolfe, I did. I loved
that you cared about people, and I
looked past all the -- I looked
past your job for as long as I
could, because you were doing it
for the right reasons.
WOLFE
Our team was making the world a
safer place.
VICKIE
According to who, and at what cost?
The shakes, the nightmares, the
PTSD, you carried it with you.
Vickie leans in, puts a hand on his.
VICKIE
I’m happy you left Okaloosa, but
for the first time the war has
truly followed you home. You need
to stop him, before he takes out
the last bit of your soul, that’s
beautiful spirit I know is still in
there.
Wolfe pauses thinks about his words carefully, then.
WOLFE
I’m trying to leave that world
behind me. I’ve been trying to be a
better person -- for you -- for me.
I’ve lost enough. I can’t lose any
one else...I know we killed his
sister, left him for dead, but if
he comes after you -- I’m going to
send him to his sister, in pieces.
Wolfe leans in, his face firm, serious.

INT. SHORE SHACK - SEATING AREA - CONT.
Vickie nods at Wolfe’s last line.
VICKIE
You’re a good man, a natural
solider, wrapped up in a terrible
job. I want the man, but I don’t
want the soldier.
WOLFE
You’ll have me. All of me.
They share a moment, where it looks like they might kiss, but
then -- the door chimes as it opens. Vickie and Wolfe don’t
move.
VICKIE
We’re closed.
Footsteps echo forward.
VICKIE
I said, “we’re closed.”
Vickie and Wolfe split their glance and turn around. Freeze.
Charoen stands in the doorway.
WOLFE
Vickie... get... behind me...
Wolfe rises gets in front of her.
CHAROEN
Stay there.
Wolfe’s goes to his gun, but Charoen pulls out a GRENADE!
CHAROEN
Stay. There.

VICKIE
Wolfe?
CHAROEN
(points to Wolfe)
Sit.

Get us a drink.
Vickie looks to Wolfe, he nods, go.
Wolfe sits, his hand still on his gun. Charoen walks to the
table, sits across from Wolfe, puts the grenade on the table,
his thumb hooked in the pin...one move and they’re dead.
The two men sit across from each other.
WOLFE
You’ve come a long way for this.
CHAROEN
I don’t have a choice.
WOLFE
We all have a choice.
Behind the bar, Vickie takes two beers out of the fridge.
CHAROEN
And you choose to kill my sister
and steal what was rightfully mine.
WOLFE
It was a job, it wasn’t personal.
Charoen with his free hand, takes out Sunti’s knife, puts it
on the table.
CHAROEN
A little late for that, huh?
As Vickie crosses the bar, she spots A SHOTGUN strapped to
the bottom of the bar...
WOLFE
I’m sure we’re a lot a like, we do
what our bosses tell us. We do the
job, no matter how messy.
SHINK! Vickie pops one of the beers open. They glance at her.
VICKIE
Just opening them up.
54.
SHINK! Vickie pops another beer. The cap rolls off the table,
falls to the floor.
CHAROEN
We probably are alike. But the
difference between us is that this
isn’t a job for me --
(points to his gang
tattoo)
This is my life. You can walk away.
I can’t. Won’t.
Vickie bends down to get the cap, leans down next to the
SHOTGUN strapped to the underside of the bar.
WOLFE
You can walk away from this. I lost
a friend, you lost a sister. Call
it even.
Vickie slowly, quietly grabs the shotgun...
CHAROEN
Or...
Vickie grips the gun, prepares to leap up...
WOLFE
Or we go for each other’s throats
and see who makes it out alive.
Charoen smirks, shows a bit of his sharp teeth...
CHAROEN
You got no idea what’s coming.
WOLFE
Yeah, well you got no idea who
you’re fucking with.
Wolfe grips his gun, flips it under the table --
Charoen flips the table over --
Wolfe’s shots PUNCH through the wood --
Charoen TOSSES the grenade up and over to --
Vickie stands with the shotgun, as --
The grenade lands next to her --

Vickie hops over the bar, scrambles for cover --
Wolfe throws himself over her as --
THOOM! The bar EXPLODES! GLASS, WOOD, AND FLAMING DEBRIS
ERUPTS AROUND THEM!
Wolfe, under the cover of the explosion, fires at Charoen!
VICKIE
To the door!
Vickie and Wolfe rush to the door. The bar is already
beginning to smoke and burn as the fire spreads!
Wolfe kicks the door open, is about to rush out when --
OUTSIDE ARE A DOZEN MEN ARMED WITH RIFLES, CHIANG MAI’S MEN!
Wolfe shoves himself and Vickie back inside as --
A STORM OF AUTOMATIC GUNFIRE SLAMS THROUGH THE DOORWAY!
The two huddle on the side of the door as --
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! — a STORM OF BULLETS SHREDS the door
sending shards of wood across the room.
VICKIE
We’re surrounded!
Wolfe’s eyes are wide, focused --
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS CHAOS AND PLAYS AS A WILD ONE-TAKE
ACTION SEQUENCE WHERE –-
WOLFE
We’re going to have to fight our
way out.
The two share a look, a longing look full of everything they
want to say, then --
POW! POW! Charoen fires at them from across the shack.
WOLFE
Stay on the door!
Wolfe rushes away from the door, head down, pistol out,
firing! Wolfe and Charoen exchange gunfire, blasting past
each other.
Vickie spots the 12 men outside running towards them --
56.
Vickie fires the shotgun out the door -- POW!
Vickie checks again outside -- there are 10 men left.
POW! POW! Bullets pop above her, from Charoen! We spin away
from her and to Charoen as he fires! Wolfe fires at him,
trying to draw his attention.
The two get in arms length of each other. Fire. CLICK! They
are both out! They don’t waste a second --
They toss their guns and break into a nasty one on one fight.
Wolfe goes for a kick to the chest, but Charoen is wise to it
from their first fight, dodges past it, blitzes Wolfe with
rapid fire fists and kicks!
Wolfe blocks them with his thick arms, wheels out the way and
lands a mighty haymaker on Charoen. The smaller man reels
backwards, wipes blood from his lips.
He grins at Wolfe, that all?
VICKIE (O.S.)
They’re coming in!
Vickie fires once more into the doorway, but can’t stop them
as the ten armed men rush inside. POW! She levels one to
paste as he enters, sends him to God.
Wolfe tucks and rolls across the floor, grabs a scattered
bottle and rises to meet the first man --
IN QUICK SUCCESSION: He shatters the bottle on the man’s
head, slashes his face, neck, stomach! Before the man can
fall, Wolfe takes his rifle and --
UNLEASHES A SPRAY OF RIFLE FIRE! The men scatter across the
bar!
Behind him, he doesn’t see ANOTHER THUG taking aim at him.
POW! Vickie blasts him apart, saving Wolfe. Without missing a
beat, Wolfe charges through the bar, as if he’s got a death
wish!
Wolfe intercepts a THUG, JAMS the barrel of the gun into him.
FIRES! HE FIRES UNTIL HE’S FIRING CLEAN THROUGH HIM, THEN
USES HIM LIKE A HUMAN SHIELD TO BARREL THROUGH THE DOOR!
Vickie follows him out, leveling cover fire at the remaining
men and Charoen!
CHAROEN
After them!
57.
Wolfe tosses the what’s left of the man aside, takes the gun
with him. The two of them hop into his pick up truck --
POW! His driver’s side mirror is blown off. Wolfe spins the
truck out the lot as --
SHIT! TWO OF THE MEN DIVE INTO THE BED OF THE PICKUP TRUCK!
CHAROEN HOPS INTO ONE CAR, WHILE ANOTHER THUG HOPS INTO A
SECOND CAR! THE THREE CARS TAKE OFF DOWN A STRETCH OF DARK
FLORIDA ROAD, TEARING INTO THE NIGHT!
Wolfe glances behind himself, sees limbs climbing.
WOLFE
They’re in the back!
One of the men aims into the back window! Wolfe swerves hard,
the shot goes wide, misses them, the man’s rifle clatters out
the side!
A second later, the second man swings onto the passenger side
of the truck. He’s got a knife! He stabs through the window
at her! Vickie shrieks!
WOLFE
Open the door!
Vickie shouts, dives past his knife, opens the door, kicks it
out and --
Wolfe swerves hard right, let’s the door SMASH INTO A
TELEPHONE POLE! There is a meaty crunch and suddenly the man
and the door are gone!
DING! DING! AHEAD OF THEM THE ALARMS BLARE FOR AN INCOMING
TRAIN! The tracks run across the road, if they can cross in
time, they can put some space between them and the cars.
Wolfe sees it, makes a choice...
WOLFE
Drive!
VICKIE
What? Where are you going!?
WOLFE
Putting some space between us!
Wolfe reaches back, grabs the rifle, then leans out the car!
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! He unloads hot lead at Charoen’s car.
Charoen swerves out the way, but --
58.
The car behind Charoen takes a BLAST OF GUNFIRE! The driver
is blown apart, the car swerves, flips, crashes hard!
BEHIND HIM the arm for the railroad crossing comes down. In
the distance a FREIGHT TRAIN LOOMS!
Wolfe trains his eyes on Charoen, has him in his sights --
THUMP! There is STILL A MAN IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK! THE THUG
KICKS WOLFE’S WRIST, NEARLY BREAKING IT, BUT SENDING THE GUN
FLYING!
Wolfe slips back inside, the truck, but --
The man snakes through the cabin window and hooks in a
sleeper hold, chokes Wolfe with his arm!
The train gets CLOSER!
Wolfe stands on the gas pedal!
VICKIE
Wolfe!?
Vickie pulls at the man, but he elbows her in the nose, rocks
her back.
WOLFE
GUHVE BOUX!
Charoen’s passenger shouts, slaps his arm.
THAI GANGSTER 2
There’s a train!
Charoen ignores him, his eyes locked on the truck
Both cars ROCKET to the incoming train!
Wolfe’s face turns red, the air stuck in his lungs. Under the
man’s chokehold, Wolfe sees the man’s sun tattoo. Wolfe
signals Vickie --
WOLFE
GOVE BX!
VICKIE
What?!
Wolfe takes a handful of the shattered glass, palms it over
his shoulder, grinds it into the man’s face! He shouts and
releases Wolfe. He takes in a greedy gulp of air, shouts --
59.
WOLFE
Glove box!
Vickie pops the glove box open, finds a glock, spins, and
FIRES! She pops the man, just as he lunges back in!
Brainless, the man tumbles out the bed, cracks off of
Charoen’s car.
There is A SECOND OF PEACE, THEN --
The RUMBLE OF THE TRAIN draws their attention to --
The face of the incoming train LOOMS OVER THEM!
VICKIE
Seat belt?
WOLFE
Buckle up!
They both slap their seatbelts on. Wolfe presses the gas to
the floor, gets every bit of horsepower his truck can make.
THE TRUCK CRACKS THROUGH THE BARRICADE --
VICKIE’S ENTIRE PASSENGER WINDOW IS FILLED WITH THE LIGHT OF
THE TRAIN --
THE TRUCK CROSSES THE TRACKS --
BUT NOT ALL OF IT --
THE TAIL END OF THE TRUCK IS SMASHED!
THE TRUCK FISHTAILS, SPIN-SKIDS ON IT’S WHEELS!
INSIDE, BOTH OF THEM, HUG THEMSELVES AS THE CAR SPIRALS TO A
STOP.
THIS ENDS THE INSANE ONE TAKE SEQUENCE.

No truce. No mercy.
Clayton wipes the spit off, smiles.

Good, because killing you -- makes
this so much easier.
Clayton grips Sunti’s knife, Charoen struggles against the
men holding him, Clayton stands prepares to gut him.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS CHAOS:
From his knees, Charoen hops up, kicks out, dropkicks Clayton
in the chest, while throwing himself backwards into the men,
holding him.
Charoen bounces to his feet, approaches the last two men. He
kicks one, punches the other -- RECOILS, he used his bad
hand.
One of the men, from the floor grabs his leg! Charoen grabs
the FLAT SCREEN TV, batters the man’s head.
Clayton comes at him with the knife, Charoen lets the TV
block the blade, it punches through mere inches from him!
Charoen twists the TV, twists the knife from Clayton’s hands.
Charoen tears the knife out the TV, then shoulder rams his
way out the door. Clayton from the floor, calls out!

go off! As the gun blasts begin to die off, we quickly roll
into a sea of hand to hand fights!
KITCHEN: Baxter moves back as a GANG-MEMBER swings a KITCHEN
KNIFE! She dodges a series of slashes, then combo-boxes the
man backwards!

pulverizes men with each swing of his fists. He grabs one man
by the waist hurls him into another man!

the restaurant. Curtis blocks a punch, flips his opponent
THROUGH a table. He snatches up a fork from a table, STABS A

DOOR. Her opponent runs at her, Baxter throws the door open,

of the STOVE. She doesn’t hit him, she simply flips on ALL OF
THE STONE BURNERS! The man catches on fire!

kick to the chest, let’s it bounce off his huge chest.
NATHAN

leg, BREAKS it! The second man runs at Wolfe, he catches him
by the throat, hauls him up and CHOKESLAMS HIM THROUGH ONE OF
THE TABLES!

another thug! Nathan swivels past as the two trade jabs with
butcher knives!
Baxter gets the upperhand on him, but they both lose their
knives!

his bloody shirt, hides it in the car.

Special Forces so he was a good gun
for anyone with money.
BEACH: Charoen crosses the sands. It’s dusk, not many people
here. He walks dazed to the waters.
CHIANG MAI (O.S.)
He’s a soldier without an army, a
family, a man apart.
BEACH: Charoen goes to the water’s edge, lets the waves lap
at him. He calms, exhales for the first time in what seems
like forever -- then he walks into the water.
CHIANG MAI (O.S.)
He’s got no one left, but himself,
his pain and his skills.
BEACH: The waters course over him, washing the blood off,
washing the trauma away.

He’s got nothing left, but
vengeance.

with strikes. Baxter has the longer weapon, but it’s obtuse
and hard to maneuver. Baxter swings and hammers him back, but
she makes a mistake -- leaves herself open.
Charoen takes advantage, STABS Baxter in the chest. Blood
leaps from Baxter’s mouth, as she nearly collapses on
Charoen. The two make eye contact, Charoen’s eyes burn.

landing on them...they were only seconds later.

smaller man up, like wolves with their prey.

Thailand.

his jacket off, wraps it around his fist, a makeshift defense
against the knife.

Wolfe...we take him alive. Get
answers.
Wolfe sinks into a boxing stance.
WOLFE
No promises.
Curtis tosses his jacket off, whips it to the floor.

THEN THEY ERUPT INTO A MASSIVE BRAWL!
Wolfe reaches Charoen first. He blocks the knife blow using
the jacket on his hand, swats the blade away, POPS him with a
left hand! Wolfe charges in, but Charoen is QUICK -- LANDS A
SPIN KICK IN WOLFE’S TEMPLE, DROPS HIM!

A second after Wolfe falls, Curtis bulldozes in hard and
fast. Curtis grabs his knife arm, yanks it hard to side, then
hammerfists Charoen in the throat. He coughs hard, tries to
move -- but Curtis still has his arm -- Curtis grabs his
hair, yanks him down into a RISING KNEE! Charoen’s nose
crumbles! Curtis holds him, locked in, goes for another
punch, but Charoen SPITS BLOODY MUCUS IN his eyes!
Curtis yelps moves back, Charoen wiggles free of him and
BLASTS HIM WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE TEMPLE!
Charoen charges the downed man, takes a running start, hops
off the couch, and -- WOLFE INTERCEPTS HIM OUT OF MID-AIR and
RUNS HIM RIGHT INTO THE WALL, DENTING IT!
Charoen dislodges from the wall, hammers elbows onto Wolfe!
Wolfe returns with a right hand to the jaw, once, twice,
rattles the smaller man.
Charoen rolls back, picks up the fire poker, rolls up and
CRACKS Wolfe in the head! Wolfe. Doesn’t. Move.

Charoen coughs behind them, they perk up, look over at the
man as he lifts his head.
WOLFE
I’ll talk to him.
Wolfe walks over to Charoen leans down to face him.
91.
WOLFE
You hear me? Huh?
(snaps his fingers)
You awake in there?
CHAROEN
Fuck. You.
WOLFE
Yeah, you’re fine.
Wolfe leans in closer.
WOLFE
You should have stayed in Thailand,
you should have put this all behind
you.
CHAROEN
Would you?
A beat...Wolfe pauses, knows the answer.
CHAROEN
We got the same eyes.
WOLFE
I’m nothing like you.
Charoen smiles with bloody teeth, knows the truth. Then
Curtis perks up behind them.
CURTIS
Hey! Hey, I got something!
Wolfe walks over to him.
WOLFE
Whatcha got?
CURTIS
The client’s name is listed
obviously, but they have a bank
account under a company called
Ghost Point.
WOLFE
The hell is that?
CURTIS
Here.
Curtis hands him another paper.
92.
CURTIS
It’s a shell company. Fake. It
traces back to another company and
another.
WOLFE
So whose the buyer?
CURTIS
Wolfe, that’s it...there is no
buyer.
(off Wolfe’s face)
No one hired us. This... this was
all Clayton. He forged everything.
This wasn’t an extraction, it was
robbery.
Charoen looks up hearing this, realizing the truth the same
time they do.
Then THUMP. THUMP. There are footsteps upstairs.
A beat... Wolfe and Curtis exchange glances... shit...

Around a corner, they hear footsteps --
Wolfe signals Curtis, hold...3...2...1.
The pair whip around the corner and --
Clayton is there, armed.
CLAYTON
Fellas?
Clayton nods to Baxter’s body.
CLAYTON
Hell happened?
CURTIS
Charoen. He’s locked up downstairs.
INT. BAXTER'S HOUSE – BASEMENT – CONT.
Much like how Charoen escaped his zipties last time, he’s
wriggling in his handcuffs. He grunts and -- pops his thumb
out of place. Then with another grunt -- frees himself.

Wolfe and Curtis share a look, then --
WOLFE
But we have bigger problems.
CLAYTON
Like...
WOLFE
You.
Clayton’s face tightens.
CURTIS
Baxter traced the client’s records.
It leads to a series of shell
accounts.
CLAYTON
And --
CURTIS
There is no client, no name, no
account, nothing.
CLAYTON
If you’re going to accuse me of
something then say it.
WOLFE
You’re the client. You’re the one
who set this up. You -- you somehow
knew about this deal -- and you
brought us in to steal whatever was
in that briefcase.
CLAYTON
Where are you going with th--
WOLFE
You lied to us! Led us into a
robbery. Killed unarmed men. Got
Mason and Baxter killed! You lied
and people died!
A long beat and --
CLAYTON
...So?
A beat, Wolfe and Curtis are taken aback.
94.
CLAYTON
So what? What do you care as long
as we get paid right?
Wolfe simmers, moves in and Clayton raises his gun.
CLAYTON
How bout this -- how bout -- I show
you what’s in the case? How bout we
split what Baxter and Mason were
going to earn?
Curtis raises a hand, cautions Wolfe.
CLAYTON
I know you’re angry, I lost men
too. But, before you make a choice
you regret -- let me lay all my
cards on the table.
Wolfe turns back to Curtis...
There is a CRASH DOWNSTAIRS! They all rush off.

The trio rush into the basement and find it EMPTY.
CLAYTON
Where did he go?
There is a breeze... They follow the air current to a broken
window at the base of the basement, leading out to the
backyard.
CLAYTON
Seems our problem took care of
itself.
Wolfe turns gives him a pointed look.
WOLFE
Not all of them.
INT. WOLFE'S TRUCK - NIGHT
Wolfe drives, Clayton drives in front of them.
WOLFE
You good?
95.
CURTIS
I think that tiny fuck concussed
me.
WOLFE
I got a tooth loose and I’m sure my
leg is sprained.
CURTIS
Tough fucker.
WOLFE
And Clayton?
CURTIS
I don’t like it.
WOLFE
Neither do I.
CURTIS
We got tools?
Wolfe nods to the glove box. Curtis opens it, finds a GLOCK.
Wolfe opens a second compartment, draws a second GLOCK.
WOLFE
No matter how much he offers us, if
this even feels the smallest bit
off...
CURTIS
I got your back, brother.
The two men share a nod, then --

Betrayal and Bloodshed
EXT. ABANDONED WAREHOUSE - NIGHT
Both cars pull up outside of an abandoned warehouse.
WOLFE
Hell is this place?
CLAYTON
Kept it safe out here for us.
CURTIS
Yeah, ain’t no one out here.
CLAYTON
I wouldn’t say no one.
96.
INT. ABANDONED WAREHOUSE – CONT.
The trio enters the warehouse. It’s been picked apart by
time: chipped concrete pillars, discarded metal rebar, the
air thick with dust and --
TWO BLACK SUVS PARKED INSIDE...
AN OVERTURNED CARGO CONTAINER USED FOR A MAKESHIFT TABLE...
WHERE THE BRIEFCASE SITS...
BEHIND THAT ARE FOUR ARMED MEN -- THE MEN CLAYTON BROUGHT
WITH HIM TO FIGHT CHAROEN.
WOLFE
Who are they?
CLAYTON
Them? Their with me.
Curtis and Wolfe share a look...
CURTIS
They work for you?
CLAYTON
You all do.
Curtis bites his cheek, not the answer he wanted. Clayton
goes to the table and takes the briefcase.
CLAYTON
So you want to know what all this
was for. What I was willing to lie
and kill for?
Clayton unlocks the case, spins it around, and reveals DOZENS
OF DIAMONDS.
EXT. ABANDONED WAREHOUSE - CONT.
Wolfe’s truck rocks and then --
Charoen dislodges himself from the bottom of it, drops free.
He was hiding underneath it. He rolls up and peers over at
the warehouse, he unsheathes Sunti’s knife, then sneaks off.
INT. ABANDONED WAREHOUSE - CONT.
Wolfe takes in a steady breath, then replies --
97.
WOLFE
We killed them over diamonds?
CLAYTON
Not diamonds, ten million dollars
worth of diamonds. Once we find a
buyer, we’ll be rich.
CURTIS
You don’t even have a buyer?
CLAYTON
I’ve been a little busy okay?
CURTIS
Busy cleaning up your mess and
hiring some heavies.
The FOUR armed men adjust themselves, stare them down.
WOLFE
Who are they? The new Okaloosa?
CLAYTON
No -- no -- we’re all Okaloosa.
We’re all on the same team here.
WOLFE
You got half our team killed. We’ve
got no reason to trust you.
CLAYTON
Wolfe... You’re like a son to me, I
told you -- I told you I wanted you
to lead this team after me and I
meant it... But don’t think you’re
not replaceable.
CURTIS
Clayton, we don’t have to do this.
CLAYTON
No, maybe we do. Maybe it’s best I
start with a clean slate. See these
men don’t care about law or morals,
they’re in it for the right
reasons.
Clayton gestures to the diamonds, money. Then the door to one
of the SUVs opens and -- Nathan steps out.
NATHAN
Can we hurry this along?
98.
CLAYTON
We’re almost done.
Wolfe and Curtis trade glances put it together...
CURTIS
He -- he’s working with you?
NATHAN
He pays well.
CLAYTON
Nathan here knows an opportunity
when he sees it. He told me about
this diamond exchange going down in
Thailand. He fed me the info, sent
us there to get’em.
Wolfe shakes his head --
WOLFE
Betrayed your own people.
NATHAN
Yeah, but my cut of 14 million
dollars buries a lot of guilt.
Wolfe then pauses as he catches -- CHAROEN STALKING IN THE
DARKNESS BEHIND THE MEN.
For a moment, they make eye contact -- they nod.
Curtis sees it, reacts, turns to Clayton.
CURTIS
So what’s our cut?
CLAYTON
You stay with me, you get 4 mill
each. Enough to do anything, be
anybody.
Charoen creeps closer to the SUVS, closer to the men...
WOLFE
But only if we stay under your
thumb?
(a beat)
And if we don’t join?
CLAYTON
You’re smart enough to know the
answer to that.
99.
Wolfe nods, turns to Curtis...you got my back?
WOLFE
I know my answer. Curt?
CURTIS
Yeah... Fuck that.
Curtis and Wolfe draw their guns, Clayton’s men do the same.
Nathan feeling the adrenaline draws his own.
NATHAN
Lemme kill’em, Clayton? You saw
what they did to my face. Lemme
at’em!
CLAYTON
Calm down. Everyone, chill. We
don’t need to do this...
WOLFE
Clayton, I’m not the one you need
to bargain with.
Clayton follows his gaze, turns around as --
CHAROEN LEAPS OFF A SUV, STABS NATHAN IN THE SHOULDER!
Wolfe and Curtis fire and we break out into a nasty shootout
between both sides!
Wolfe ducks behind a stone column as automatic fire punches
into it.
WOLFE
You good, Curtis?
CURTIS
I’m here.
The two share a nod, then break into a fire fight, exchanging
rounds! Nathan runs past as Charoen chases him with his
knife! One of the armed men intercepts Charoen, he spins out
the way of his barrel, knifes him, and --
AUTOMATIC FIRE ERUPTS PAST HIM --
CHAROEN DIVES INTO THE SUV, SCRAMBLES THROUGH THE BACK TO THE
OTHER SIDE!
He lands in the path of another man --
POW! Wolfe BLASTS the man away!
100.
Wolfe and Charoen share a look -- they are in this together.
Wolfe takes the man’s rifle tosses it to Charoen and --
WE’RE BACK INTO THE FIGHT AS CHAROEN, WOLFE, AND CURTIS
UNLOAD ACROSS THE WAREHOUSE!
Charoen spots one of the last two armed men running at him,
Charoen blasts him back with a burst of gunfire, spins around
and BAM! Nathan caps Charoen in the leg!
Charoen shouts and collapses. Nathan stalks over to him.
NATHAN
This is all your fault.
Curtis grapples with a man, they bounce off one of the SUVS!
Curtis headbutts the man. On the man’s waist, there is a
GRENADE!
Charoen takes his knife out and Nathan kicks it aside. He
points the barrel down at him and --
NATHAN
All you had to do was die.
CHAROEN
Sorry to disappoint.
Curtis spots the grenade -- headbutts the man and kicks him
against the SUV, then -- SHOWS HIM THE GRENADE PIN!
The man gasps, FUCK!
THE SUV AND THE MAN ARE REPLACED WITH TWIN FIREBALLS!
Nathan whips around as THE FLAMING SUV HAS BEEN BLASTED HIS
WAY! Charoen scurries and dives to the side as NATHAN IS
CRUSHED BY THE FLAMING CAR!
Wolfe crashes down, absorbing the impact of the blast. He
rolls across the ground, rises, gets a bead on the last man --
FIRES!
Silence, then -- Clayton fires at Wolfe! POPS the gun from
his hand! Clayton meets Wolfe halfway and the two trade
strikes! As the area burns around them, the two men grapple
and box. Clayton is aged, experienced, he runs circles around
a dazed and weakened Wolfe! Clayton pops him in the nose,
drops the bigger man.
101.
CLAYTON
We could have made millions
together! All you had to do was
follow me!
WOLFE
I’m done with you. I shoulda left
years ago.
CLAYTON
You -- you have a soul Wolfe,
you’ve always had a softness for
all the people you killed. You
always lacked that killer instinct.
Clayton kicks Wolfe back, he collapses backwards --
Wolfe lands right by SOMETHING SHARP --
Clayton searches the area, finds Nathan’s discarded gun --
CLAYTON
I’m gonna miss you Wolfe, but I can
always buy more men like you.
Wolfe rises up, haggard, bloody --
WOLFE
Yeah? Why don’t you buy a soul
first?
Clayton raises the gun, but Wolfe is faster, he rolls away,
PICKS UP SUNTI’S KNIFE AND CHUCKS IT AT HIM! TWHACK! The
blade impales Clayton in the chest, all the way to the hilt.
Clayton pauses, then impossibly still raises the gun --
Clayton hesitates, the life leaving him, he tries to pull the
trigger --
Wolfe stands up, awaits his fate --
Then, like a puppet without strings, Clayton collapses, dead.
Wolfe sighs, then perks up as Charoen walks out of the
flames. He walks over to Clayton, grabs his sister’s knife,
wrenches it from him.
The two men lock eyes for a long moment, then --
CHAROEN
That all?
102.
WOLFE
That’s all.
Wolfe nods, Charoen surveys the destruction. Curtis, smoke
still coming off his body, staggers over to Wolfe, still
armed with a rifle.
CURTIS
We done here?
Charoen looks over the men, then -- nods.
CHAROEN
You’ll never come to Thailand,
again?
The men nod.
CURTIS
Bitch, I’m never leaving Florida
again after tonight.
WOLFE
And you stay out of the US?
CHAROEN
I can do that, my three day visas
expired.
The men nod, a silent truce. No more words needed. Charoen
walks off, disappearing into the flames and into the night.

CURTIS
We’re all that’s left, huh?

Curtis nods, remembering.

WOLFE
...Before Thailand, Clayton came to

CURTIS
He wanted you to lead us?
Wolfe nods.
CURTIS
Shiiiit, I woulda been cool with
that.
Wolfe turns to him and Curtis nods.
CURTIS
You’ve always been the -- heart of
this team. Always.
A beat as Wolfe accepts this.
WOLFE
Appreciate that.
CURTIS
I’ll tell you what, you ever wanna
reform Okaloosa, call it Miami-
Dade, Orlando whatever you wanna
do, I’ll be around. The world could
use more men like you.
Wolfe nods, thinks on it.
WOLFE
The world could use more people
like you.
Curtis scoffs.
CURTIS
I ain’t know ‘bout that...
Off Wolfe’s look, Curtis reaches into his pocket and shows
him a handful of diamonds.
CURTIS
Figured we earned it.
Wolfe looks it over, then --
WOLFE
You ain’t too bad, man. You ain’t
too bad at all.

Wolfe leans in and pinches one diamond free. He holds it up
to the light and --

A New Beginning
EXT. HOUSE - DAY
Wolfe holds up the diamond, it’s now on a RING -- it’s an
engagement ring. He puts it in a box, pockets the box, and
walks up to the door of a non-descript house. He walks with a
limp, the battles still weighing on him.
Wolfe knocks on the door. It opens and -- Vickie is there.
Wolfe looks up at her behind bruised eyes.
VICKIE
Wolfe?
WOLFE
I shoulda called.
VICKIE
I like surprises.
WOLFE
Well, I got few for you.
Wolfe kisses her, she brings him close, embraces him. They
break apart, but hold eye contact. He may be bruised, but
Wolfe is a new man in her arms.
Wolfe enters the house with Vickie and closes the door, not
just to the house -- but to the man he used to be.
