ONE OF THE MEN: Make sure that person does not move. If he does, then put a bullet in him.
The man is very scared and does not move.
SECOND MAN: I have to remember where I come from and not forget that we black people. This game will not change any time soon because we will always get money; you never know what is happening in people's lives until it comes out in the open.
THIRD MAN: People are saying that I am on some bullshit. Don’t listen to people that don’t know shit about these streets? They will get you to put on your bulletproof vest. That shit isn’t happening to me.

I'm trying to stay on top of my game. People hate me no matter what I do.
JOE
I know. I've been through it too. But you don't have to go through it again.
Mike looks up at Joe with a newfound determination.
MIKE
You're right. I won't.
Joe puts a hand on Mike's shoulder.
JOE
I lost a lot of friends when they got iced. It's a bad feeling not knowing what to do.

Our love for each other still beats, Mike. No matter what happens.

The men exchange a look before one of them steps forward.
MAN
It’s time for you to get money with us. You know, connections, drugs, that sort of thing.
JOSH
(nervously)
I don’t know. I’m just a kid.

That’s okay. Just let us know if you hear anything.

FADE OUT.
INT. APARTMENT - DAY
The camera pans to a cramped, run-down apartment. In the center of the room sits a young man, JOE, in his early twenties. He has a bandage on his temple.
JOE
(narrating)
When you're out there hustling, getting locked up, it's no joke. I'm going to keep moving how I am moving. They say money is power. Selling drugs out here, money may come fast. However, when it's time to go to jail, that's the wrong part. In 1987, I got slashed in the temple.
The camera zooms out to reveal another man, MARK, standing in the corner. He is slightly older than Joe.
MARK
(angry)
Look, Joe. If you don't stop this drug business, it's only a matter of time before you get locked up and thrown in jail.
Joe looks down at the floor, a look of guilt and worry on his face.
JOE
I know, Mark. I know. But I don't have any other options. This is the only way I know how to make money.
Mark shakes his head and walks closer to Joe, a look of understanding on his face.
MARK
I understand, Joe. But please, be careful.
Joe looks up at Mark, a determined look on his face.
JOE
I will. I'm going to keep hustling and keep moving how I'm moving.

A young man sits nervously in a small apartment, looking around at the sparse furnishings. He is surrounded by a tense, oppressive atmosphere.
Suddenly, there is a loud knock at the door. He jumps up, startled and scared.
The young man slowly opens the door to reveal a group of people, all dressed in matching black suits. One of them steps forward, holding a mysterious box.
LEADER
We know what you did. You wanted everyone in your life to be okay, even if it meant becoming a murderer in the game.
The young man looks around nervously.
LEADER (CONT'D)
But now you must face the consequences. Who can you trust?
The group steps closer to the young man, their expressions unreadable.
LEADER (CONT'D)
We’re here to make sure you understand why we are here on Earth. We must stick together.
The young man looks up at them with a mixture of fear and determination.
YOUNG MAN
I understand.
The group stares at him for a moment longer before they turn and walk away. The young man watches them go, his eyes reflecting a newfound understanding of the world.
FADE OUT.

Maybe we can make it there someday.
MELISSA

We can try.
The two of them share a tender moment, looking into each other's eyes. Suddenly, they hear a voice from offscreen.
VOICE (O.S.)
When two people are in love, let's make them feel better by helping them out with their problems.
Joe and Melissa look up, surprised. They don't know who is speaking, but the voice is comforting and kind.
JOE
(To Melissa)
Maybe we should take that advice.
MELISSA
(smiling)
I think that's a great idea.
CUT TO:
EXT. PARK - DAY

Sarah looks up at her father.
SARAH: Dad, I think the best way to go about it is to ask for help.
MARK: (sighs) I know. The time away from you and your mom has been hard.
SARAH: That’s why it’s hard for you. I know you just want to show me how much you love me.
MARK: But that means the way we did what we did was not good in everybody’s eyes.

He finds an alley and ducks into it, trying to hide. He crouches in the shadows, his breathing heavy.
Suddenly, he hears footsteps coming closer. He’s terrified.
Suddenly, a voice calls out from the darkness.
VOICE
It’s okay, you’re safe now.
The young man looks up to see a police officer standing in the alley.
POLICE OFFICER
It’s not safe out here. You need to get home.
The young man nods, relieved. He knows he was lucky to have gotten away.
The police officer turns to leave, but stops. He looks back at the young man and speaks.

They all look at the man skeptically.
MAN (CONT'D)
If you had to live with her, you would know how she acted.
They all exchange glances, then look back at the man.
MAN (CONT'D)
They feel like their pockets are getting lower. Nevertheless, who really cares? What are you all going to do to me? Nothing right.
The man looks around the table, his gaze steady. The group looks back at him, unsure of what to say.

FIGURE
My mind got to be in these streets. You have to have a connection with people that will murder for you. People that are not scared to go to jail for you. That’s what I need. It was nothing in the chamber or the clip. Days go by, and it’s mad heat inside the house. I’m not playin’.

The menacing figures close in. The figure takes a deep breath and stands their ground.
