soldier. He has the powers of the Executive Branch to enforce the laws of the Constitution.

  GENERAL

  Godspeed Soldier. Complete your mission and make us proud.

  After John salutes the General

  john

  Thank you General.

  John gets in his humvee and races to-

  EXT. 167th Street Intersection- Morning

  A narrow roadway. John’s Humveee is racing to The Webster houses but-

  Hench#3

  Is standing in the middle of the street with his Saturday night special cocked and ready to fire. He has a bead on John and is about to fire when-

  Escobar puts his hand on his gun and tells him.

  ESCOBAR

  Put the toys away little boy. This is a job for a man.

  Escobar stands in the center of the street at the end of the bridge. He plays Chicken with John-

  Who isn’t fazed. Escobar reaches under his trenchoat and pulls out a-

  Grenade Launcher

  And SHOOP! Fires a grenade at the Humvee. BOOM! John’s truck flips over and lands on its side. Escobar fires another grenade at the-

  FROND WINDOW

  KABOOM! The-

  HUMVEE INTERIOR

  Explodes into a fireball. Escobar smiles proudly as he tells Hench #3-

  ESCOBAR

  (Dusting off his hands)

  And that takes care of the soldier man. Call up Dex and let him know I’ve taken care of the problem. He can add it to my bill for the work on the District Attorney.

  Hench#3 punches numbers into the cell while-

  Behind the burning humvee

  Escobar doesn’t see John. He heard it all. Energized with the Powers of the Executive Branch he tells Escobar-

  John

  And this pays your bill in full.

  John reaches behind him and-

  Pulls out a rocket launcher.

  Escobar’s eyes grow wide as-

  FWOOSH! The rocket flies and-

  BOOM! Escobar goes to pieces! Traumatized by the sight of exploding body parts, a nervous Hench #3 scurries behind a-

  Mailbox

  Where Escobar’s head lands in front of him. The phone picks up as-

  HENCH #3

  Yo, Dex the soldier boy- He’s-

  Hench #3 doesn’t get a chance to finish the message as-

  KRACK! John knocks him out with a roundhouse right. As his body crumples to the ground John prys the cell phone out of his hands and cocks it to his ear-

  DEX

  (On phone)

  Hello? Hello?

  JOHN

  Dex? This is John I’ll be there in a couple of minutes to bring you to justice.

  As John hangs up the phone-

  At 168th STREET and WEBSTER AVENue

  A frantic Dex rushes up to his men who are pouring gasoline at the feet of Marcia.

  DEX

  SHIT!

  marcia

  Plans not going like you expected?

  dex

  Shut the fuck up bitch!

  Dex rushes up to the pair troopers administering the execution of Marcia and grimaces at the small squad of troopers-

  DEX

  What happened to all my niggers?

  Trooper

  Yo, everybody was spread thin trying to occupy the Bronx!

  DEX

  Who we got left?

  TROOPER

  Including us, we got about eight niggers guarding the projects.

  An exasperated Dex loses it.

  Dex

  Motherfucker! Get on the talkie and call em down here.

  In a few moments-

  on 167th Street and WEBSTER AVENUE

  Dex and a pair of troopers march down the street with their uzis cocked. It’s a Western showdown as in front of the C-Town as -

  John marches down Webster Avenue alone. The air is tense. Fingers are itching to pull the trigger. John has twin Desert Eagles cocked, locked, and ready to blast. A block away he spots-

  Marcia tied up

  And Dex’s troopers-

  BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! Uses the opportunity to get some shots off. Inept shots only used to close range shooting, they miss John and spray up cars walls, and the ground while-

  John, a crack shot lets the Desert Eagles Blast. PUM PUM PUM! Goes down one trooper on the left of Dex with a shot to the head! PUM PUM PUM! The one on Dex’s right gets one in the chest. He falls to the ground as-

  John advances-

  TO the Corner 168th Street

  And has the laser sight between Dex’s eyes when-

  four Troopers on the roof of the C-Town

  Have a bead on John with their nines. Marcia sees them and calls-

  Marcia

  JOHN LOOK OUT!

  John peers up in just enough time as-

  Bullets spray near his feet. He uses an SUV for cover while-

  A hail of gunfire runs down. He reaches for grenades on his belt, pops the pin and-

  Hurls them at the roof. BOOM! Troopers are blown off the roof and-

  CRASH! onto nearby parked cars. Across the street of the-

  roof of the 99 cent store

  Four more troopers try to take their best shot. John senses the gun on him and-

  PUM PUM PUM! They get sprayed with a barrage of shots from the Desert Eagles. They go to meet their maker when they-

  CRASH! into awnings and parked cars on the street. Seeing the last remaining troopers taken out, Dex-

  Backs away. Meanwhile-

  IN THE WINDOWS OF THE WEBSTER HOUSES

  John’s mama and many more watch as the intense showdown goes down between John and Dex. They salute him and John-

  Becomes energized with the power of the people. Glowing, John has the laser scope between Dex’s eyes-

  john

  I’m hoping you don’t surrender.

  Dex

  Who said anything about surrendering? I just want to make sure you lose.

  Dex points his gun at-

  Marcia

  With the power of the Executive Branch John sees what Dex is up to and-

  Aims at Dex’s hand before he gets the shot off. PUM! He shoots the gun out of his hand. PUM! PUM! PUM! PUM! PUM! PUM! He empties the clips of the Desert Eagles into Dex’s chest. Sprayed with a hail of gunfire-

  Dex crumples to the ground. John rushes to untie Marcia’s hands as-

  Dex opens his jacket to reveal a-

  Bulletproof vest. Before John unties Marcia’s feet from the bonfire pile-

  Dex pulls a gun out of the hands of a dead Trooper and-

  BLAM! Gets John in the arm. John goes down. Marcia screams and-

  Upstairs

  Mama cries-

  mama

  MY BABY THEY DONE SHOT MY BABY!

  Dex staggers to his feet. He points the gun down at John and tells him.

  DEX

  Nigger I told you I’d kill you if you came back to Dexilvania-

  Points it at John. Out of weapons and out of options John hears the voice of-

  PRESIDENT OBAMA

  (V.O)

  …Knowledge to master of every known weapon in the United States military by touching it.

  John grabs a flagpole with the downed American flag and-

  WHISSSH! Hurls it-

  CHUK! Spearing Dex in the heart. Blood spurts as-

  Dex falls to the ground on his back. Old glory rises and blows in the wind as-

  Dex goes to Hell. Before he dies John tells him-

  John

  Welcome back to America.

  John runs up to Marcia. They share a romantic kiss as-

  A convoy of black Cadillacs drive down Webster Avenue. The convoy pauses and-

  THE BACKSEAT OF THE PRESIDENTIAL LImousine

  Rolls down.

  John

  Mission Accomplished Mr. President.

  President Obama looks down at the dead body of Dex and gives John a thumbs up. He then tells h
im-

  PRESIDENT OBAMA

  A job well done.

  John and Marcia salute as-

  The President’s convoy drives down the street on the-

  FAde Out:

  The End

  BULLETS AND BOMBS
