Pooh
(Upset) Why are you doing
this daddy? I don't understand
Jeffrey
With you gone I will get
everything. For years I have worked and built, planned and expanded
the company. Now... now they want to take it all away and give it to
you. What for? An accident of birth?
Your grandfathers company
was a good starting point but under my direction it is now twice as
big as his entire family was able to manage.
I should control this, I
should own this, it is mine, I built it. You just went to school and
played with your friends, you cared nothing for the company, you did
nothing for the company
Now I will get what I
deserve
Pooh
(On
verge of tears) What would mother say to this?
Jeffrey
(Ice cold) Before or after
I killed her?
Pooh
(Outraged) You killed her,
how could you?
Jeffrey
It was easy, I just cut the
brakes on the car
(Smiles sickly at her)
Jeffreys intercom rings, he goes to answer it
Jeffrey
(Answers intercom) Yes
Female Secretary
Jeffrey there is someone on
line #1 who says he has some very important personal business with
you, should I put them through?
Jeffrey
Yes, I'll take the call
outside
(To Pooh) Excuse me
darling, business before pleasure you know
(To Bodyguards) Watch her
Jeffrey leaves the room

Hip Hop #1
Jeffrey we have the short
acrobatic guy your men were chasing this earlier today. Your guys are
hopeless, he gave them the slip, but we caught him for you. Now we
just have to talk price – How much is he worth to you?
Jeffrey
Ahh, the last one, good
news then. One million Baht for you, don't worry about delivering him
to me just kill him and dump him. Don't mess it up though, or you'll
find my guards aren't completely hopeless...
Hip Hop #1
Deal.
Hip Hop #1 walks into the room where Daniel is guarded by the
other band members. Dan is tied to a chair.
Hip Hop #1 draws a pistol out
Hip Hop #1
Nothing personal kid, this
is just business
Daniel
Why do you want to kill me?
Hip Hop #1
You pissed someone off
enough that he is paying 1 million Baht to blow your brains out,
that's all
Hip Hop #1 places the gun to Daniels head. Daniel struggles moving
his head around protesting, begging. In the process he frees one arm
and holds it up in front of the gun
Daniel
Please don't shoot
On Dan's upraised arm can be seen the bracelet he stole from the
girl earlier.
Hip Hop #2 pushes the gun aside
Hip Hop #2
(To Hip Hop #1) Wait a
minute.
(To Daniel) Where did you
get that bracelet?
Daniel
(Slightly confused) What?
(He then looks at the bracelet on his wrist)
Hip Hop #2
(Pulling out knife) Tell me
where you got the bracelet from, or you will wish I let him shoot you
Dan
I got the bracelet from a
girl in a back street in {Scumville area} yesterday, some drunk thugs
were going to rape her... so I stepped in and saved her. She gave me
this as a thankyou
Hip Hop #2
Liar! My sister would never
go to that area
Daniel
I swear to God. It was in
{scumville location} at {time of encounter}, there were {4 or 5} guys
surrounding her. I fought them for a while and they got scared and
ran away.
Call his sister if you
doesn't believe me
Hip Hop #2 takes his mobile phone out, and calls his sister

Ice Bar And Yings Bedroom
Ying is laying on her bed doing study (homework)
Hip Hop #2
Where were you Friday night
at 9pm?
Ying
I was home studying
Hip Hop #2
Are you sure?
Ying
Yes
Hip Hop #2
So you weren't at {that
place} and some Falang didn't rescue you?
Ying
(Concerned look on her face
but cool voice) No, why?
Hip Hop #2
We have a guy here telling
that he rescued you - he has your bracelet. If it is not true then
this guy in is deep trouble.
If he
lied we can finish the business with him
Ying
(Looks
sorry and concerned) Wait, I was out with friends and we went to the
new club that opened near there, my friends got in a taxi and while I
was waiting these Drunk guys attacked me. The Falang saved me, he is
a good fighter he beat 4 guys and rescued me.
Hip Hop #2
(Angry)
Why were you there. I told you to never go there. You are lucky
nothing happened to you. Stay home, don't you dare you anywhere. I'll
deal with you later
Hip Hop #2 hangs up phone.
Hip Hop #2 turns to Daniel, raises the
knife and slashed downward.
The knife slices the bonds holding
Daniels other arm. Daniel is now free.
Hip Hop #1
Hey
wait, it's 1 million Baht. If we don't do this we have Jeffrey
breathing down our necks as well.
Hip Hop #2
I don't
care about Jeffrey, I am not scared of him. This guy saved my sister
and that means everything to me – he saved my sister now it is my
debt to save him.
Dan is now free to go.

John, Conan, Mike in a cell with rudimentary furnishings
(Throughout this scene there will be short action cut scenes –
they will be one or two guards at a time being removed from action,
hit over the head, pulled into the shadows by the neck, etc)
Mike
(Sarcastic) Congratulations
John. That was a superb rescue attempt with the Frenchies, I am
endebted to you forever
John
This is all your fault
anyway, it's your stupid plan
Mike stands up over John in an intimidating (fighting?)
pose
Conan stands up over Mike. Mike is looking into Conan's chest.
Dons eyes then travel up to meet Conan's.
Mike sits back down.
John sitting back in a relaxed pose (hands behind head)
John
{says something
smart/funny}
From in the cell the guys here a noise, look to the door and see
the guard falling down past the cell window. The heroes look at each
other confused.
Dom and Ron's faces show in the cell window looking in. The heroes
are even more confused now.
Dom and Ron open the cell door and release the heroes,
John
What is happening now?
Dom
After Dons warning we
conducted their own investigation. A 'fall guy' explained the entire
situation.
Now we are fearful for
Poohs life and needed your help defeat to Jeffrey and his private
army
Mike
Why not call the police?
Dom
You guys are the
kidnappers, and we have no evidence – how well do you think the
police would receive that?
Pooh is being held in
{location of the office} here in Bangkok
Mike
That tower is probably well
guarded with what, like 50 guards on security there?
Dom
Actually it is more than
100...
John
OK, we owe it to her, we
kidnapped her, we got her into this, we should now rescue her
The others look at John, surprised, this is the first time John
has shown any heart
Conan
John? Are you alright? You
never cared about anyone but yourself before
John
Hey I have a heart too you
know.... (pause) and there might be a reward for helping her
Others roll their eyes, John is back.
Cut to:
Ext.
Warehouse
Conan, John, Mike, Dom and Ron are walking out of the warehouse
As they pass by the dead Frenchies, the Mike looks at the bodies.
Mike
What happened here?
John
This is the result of the
rescue attempt. At least we saved the Million Baht pay I promised
Suddenly at the mention of the million Baht David sits bolt
upright, holding one hand to his neck, blood trickling out
David
Where's my Million Baht?
John
(Surprised) We haven't
rescued the girl, as soon as the girl is rescued you get your money
David
OK, I'm coming with you
guys
John
You should go and get some
medical help
David
And let you walk away with
my money, no way, I'm OK - lets go
David takes his hand away from his bloody neck and we see that he
has taken a shot in the neck, as he takes his hand away blood starts
to spurt from the wound.
The other guys just stand and look at the blood spurting from his
neck, eyes wide
David clamps his hand to his neck
David
Oh shit
The boys are off. The get into Dom and Rons car

Nothing
John
Is that the German tourist
from the shop? It is isn't it?
Ladyboy

John
You better be careful
kidnapping is a serious offence.
The others look at John and shake their heads.
John

In the background as the conversation takes place we see Daniel
running along the street keeping pace with the car, someone is
chasing him.

Conan is staring out the window
Mike
Conan, what are you doing?

Just watching a chase
Mike
Hey isn't that Daniel?
Conan
Oh yeah.
Mike
DANIEL, HEY DANIEL
Dan looks over, relieved he runs to the car and dives in the
window
Daniel
Drive! Drive!
The car accelerates off. Daniel opens his hand and we see a
wallet, his eyes light up and he opens the wallet – some small
change falls out
Daniel
Arghh! Again! He throws the
wallet out the car.
The guys look at him like what is wrong with him stealing wallets
at a time like this.
Dom and Ron look around surprised at this guy
Daniel
What is wrong with these
tourists, why don't they ever have any money?
Dom
Are you stupid? Tourists
all carry their money in a money belt, hidden around their waist, no
one carries money in their wallet in Bangkok
Daniel face registers this, it is news to him {look on face}
John
(To Dom): Turn right here,
we need to go past my shop to pick up some supplies first
