The document is a pilot script for a television show titled "Caps and Robbers", which is described as an anthological tragedy based on Romeo and Juliet. The script was written by Sir Noah A Waters III and is copyrighted under his production company. It includes a teaser scene where two detectives, Craig and Cam, discuss a case over breakfast when they are unexpectedly approached by a man named Abraham who claims to have information about something called "Coastline". This leads to a violent confrontation in the back alley of the restaurant. The rest of the script describes the aftermath of an explosion at an oceanfront crack house and the investigation that follows, featuring several characters including Minnie Monte and police officers Chance Cap Jr.

On a table over in the corner, two men sit eating breakfast.
CRAIG

INDIGNANT.
Cam

Craig
Hey! Don't call me that.

investigations, so you've surpassed
your anniversary of waiting two
fuck'n weeks into FTO to cause an
IA investigation.
CRAIG
Yeah, we can't all be Angels like
cousin Cam.
CAM
I'm no angel, fucker. I just know
how to keep my cool when it
matters. A skill you should really
try'n master. Cuz Chance ain't
gun'a allow it. Believe me I get
angry when it counts. Let me find a
Monte in a bad situation. Trust me.
I'll make it much worse for 'em.
Craig smiles.
CAM (CONT’D)
The differences is or the art
rather, is knowing the most
opportune moment to get angry. Not
when you're up against the wall and
not when you're out in the open.
You gotta find that sweet spot,
kid.
THE DOOR OPENING BELL SOUNDS.
A man, ABRAHAM MONTE walks in wearing a hoodie. A second
later another guy walks in behind him.
Abraham and his TAG-ALONG, sit at a table across the
restaurant from Craig and Cam.
CAM (CONT’D)
Easy, Killer. They are just here to
have breakfast. Just like us. Let's
not have an all out brawl in front
uh all of "Oceanway".
Craig uses his middle finger to scratch the stubble on his
jaw bone.
CAM (CONT’D)
Did you just flick them off?
CRAIG
Not necessarily. I might have given
the bird in general...

ABRAHAM

Sweet spot, cuz. (Beat) What do you

ABRAHAM
We have something you have to hear.

ABRAHAM
How about, I know about Coastline?
Both Cam and Craig go silent and wide-eyed.
ABRAHAM (CONT’D)
Out back, now.
EXT. FAMOUS AMOS / OUT BACK - MOMENTS LATER2 2
Cam walks out into the alley, followed by Abraham and his tag-
along, followed by Craig. Once out side, Craig draws his side
arm and back up pistol, POINTING THEM AT BOTH ABRAHAM AND TAG-
ALONG'S HEAD, pushing them against the wall.
TAG-ALONG
Whoa!

BANG! SPLAT!
Tag-Along is SHOT IN THE FACE! The exit wound on the back of
his skull SPURTS CRIMSON on the stucco behind him.
Cam then is SHOT IN THE ARM AND SHOULDER as we--
ANGLE ON:
THE SHOOTER. Off at the opening of the back alley wearing a
tree-camouflage hoodie, jeans, and boots.
CRAIG SHOOTS ABRAHAM!
Craig then turns his fire arm on the shooter but is SHOT IN
THE FLESHY PART OF HIS NECK AND SHOULDER before he can return
fire.
Everyone collapses into a bloody heap of--
Quiet Serenity. Peaceful Gore. Blood-soaked half-Living
"Art".
The BLOOD on the ground begins to ripple and maneuver as if a
fountain pen or old-fashion writing quill is WRITING in the
blood. Calligraphing the words--

FADE IN.
INT. OCEANWAY CRACK HOUSE - MAGIC HOUR - EARLIER3 3
The LAST OF THE SUN SHINES through a window into--
A dog pile of junkies. Ashtrays galore. Malt liquor bottles.
We hear MATTRESS SPRINGS CREAKING WITH THE RHYTHM OF
FORNICATION.
Moving down the hall, we pass the room BROADCASTING the
libidinous sounds and get a glimpse of the couple.
Continuing on pass a room with more passed out junkies we
finally come to the room at the end of the hallway--
In this room are only two people.
Meet MINNIE MONTE, a fair skinned, distant, and removed young
lady who has had some of the worst that life can give you
sent her way. PULCHRITUDE. PESSIMISTIC. PIQUED.
Then there is JAKE, your average hopheaded user and addict.
His outfit looks like he fell into a good will wet and came
out wearing whatever clung to him. TWITCHY. TORPID. THIRSTY.
PUSH IN:
On Minnie's arm, wrapped in a piece of rubber tubing. She
smacks her fore arm a few times causing her VEIN TO PROTRUDE.
Then she takes out a EMPTY SYRINGE WITH NO NEEDLE and feigns
shooting up.
JAKE
How's the ride? How's the rise? Is
it good? Is it good?
Jake moves closer to her and begins to kiss at her neck and
grope at her breast, with no response from her.
Minnie, emotionlessly switches the syringe with one with an
actual needle using sleight-of-hand and Jake's current
distracted attention.
MINNIE
It's the best.
Jake trails kisses up her neck and jaw line.

Let me make you a fix.
This is the greatest news Jake has ever heard!
He readies his arm while Minnie FIRES A SPOON of tan powder.
Minnie kisses his PROTRUDING VEIN then gives him a hit.
MINNIE (CONT’D)
This is just a taste of our "White
Rhino".
JAKE
Why is it Tan?
MINNIE
Not my department.
Jake's eyes begin to glaze and his stare to obscure.
MINNIE (CONT’D)
If it's too intense for you let me
know and we'll make sure you get
our less potent supply.
JAKE
Bitch, please.
Jake pushes Minnie down on the bed and begins to remove her
blouse, while kissing her neck. Once he has all but one
button undone he BLACKS-OUT ON TOP OF HER.
Minnie lies there a beat before maneuvering out from
underneath of him.
She takes out a bottle of hand sanitizer and cleans her hands
then rubs some on her neck and jawline.
MINNIE
Tell your wife I said, "Hi".
--Whoa!--
Minnie walks out of the room and closes the door behind her.
She walks back to the main room.
BOOM!
The FLOOR OF THE HALLWAY EXPLODES from underneath the floor
boards! BLINDED WITH RINGING AS WE--
FADE TO WHITE.

Marked units with lights on are parked around the house.
An unmarked car pulls up--
Craig and Cam get out.
CAM
Boy, I tell you what! When I was a
greenie I didn't get this kind of
action until a year into
investigations.
CRAIG
God must'ah knew you'se wasn't
ready.
CAM
And you is?
Cam laughs.
A uniformed officer, let's call him UNIY ONE, walks up.
UNIY ONE
Hey sarge, the block is secured. We
caught a few of them fleeing but I
think there are a slew of em inside
still.
CAM
No one has gone inside yet?
UNIY ONE
No.
CRAIG
Alright let's do this.
CAM
Slow your roll there, Rosco P
Coltrane. We don't know anything
about what happened nor what's
going on right now up in yonder.
Most likely it was a tiny meth lab.
But! We don't know anything yet, so
let's try'na get as much info,
prior to barreling into what might
be our death trap. (Beat) A'yight?
Craig nods.

No, most of them are still geeked

to. Had they ah been alert or
braced, flinched they'd ah gotten
hurt worse.
INT. OCEANWAY CRACK HOUSE - SAME TIME5 5
Minnie lies face down where she landed.
CAM (V.O.)
Let's split up. Take a look around
the perimeter. Meet back here.
Minnie stirs then slowly stands--
DISORIENTED. RINGING. VERTIGINOUS.
She shakes it all out of her head and looks back at the
explosion hole. The SIREN LIGHTS out side grab her attention.
MINNIE
Fuck'n fuck!
Minnie quietly, runs to the front door and sees Cam walk by
one of the front windows!
MINNIE (CONT’D)
(Quietly)
Fuck'n fuck.
She turns and walks around the explosion hole, down the hall
pass all the rooms, and begins to BOLT OUT THE BACK DOOR.
EXT. OCEANWAY CRACK HOUSE - SAME TIME4-B 4-B
Craig begins to walk pass the back door, which BUST OPEN with
Minnie jutting out like a Kentucky stud out of the gate!
Minnie sees him in her path and turns slightly so that her
shoulder is the most forward part of her body.
SHE SPEARS the surprised Craig, in the chest. He falls back
and his skull smacks the pavement. --Owe!--
Minnie grabs, then PUNTS HIS FACE knocking him out
completely, ALL OF THIS IN A FLASH.

11. She GRABS HIS PISTOL from his holster and AIMS IT AT HIS
HEAD. After a beat she EJECTS THE MAGAZINE AND CHUCKS IT into
the bushes, followed by the round left in the chamber. Then
she puts the pistol back in his holster.
Minnie runs off and around the corner until--
WHAM! KAPLAT!
She is clotheslined and hip tossed onto the neighbors yard by-
-
A younger, uniformed JSO officer.
Meet officer CHANCE CAP JR or "LITTLE CHANCE", (LC), as he is
known by. He is the youngest member of the CAP CLAN and only
a year and a half off of FTO. ALTRUISTIC. AWKWARD. ADDLED.
LITTLE CHANCE
Easy now.
Minnie gets her fist free and PUNCHES HIS JAW, then clenches
him into a guillotine chokehold with the same arm.
LITTLE CHANCE (CONT’D)
Ugh, Hi I'm Chance.
MINNIE
Minnie.
LITTLE CHANCE
Nice to meet--
LC, bucks his hips, then spins around in a flash putting her
head in-between his legs, in a choke.
These two grapple for a good minute or so exchanging
POSITIONS OF DOMINANCE, back and forth until--
Finally LC jumps back and draws his service pistol.
Minnie stands slowly, hands in the air, and blows her bangs
out from in front of her eyes.
For the first time they get a good look at each other.
LC sees her TRACK MARKS ARE JUST PEN DOTS. Minnie notices him
noticing her. LC in return sees her admiring him.
MINNIE
Now what?
Minnie takes a step back. Then another.

Cam pushes some of the rubble around with his foot.
Forensics TAKES PICTURES and EVIDENCE.
Craig leans against the hallway.
THROUGH THE WINDOW: We can see a slew of junkies siting on
the curb in front of a Uniformed Officer.
JFRD INVESTIGATOR (O.C.)
Yep! They were using Hypo-
phosphorus Acid as a substitute for
red phosphorus, which looks like
they stole from Growth Solutions
over on Eastport according to the
container remains.
CAM
You think they're our "Walter
Whites"?
The investigator sticks his head up and out of the explosion
hole.
JFRD INVESTIGATOR
Nah. These were first timers who
got high during their first cook.
The quality would have been shit

CAM

Craig grabs at his pistol.
CRAIG
Fuck me.
Craig runs out back.
CAM

Nah! I'm alright, gotta get my kids

He asked for socks?
She holds out the red hospital socks.
CHANCE
God bless ya, he's very cold

She smiles, places the socks on his bed, then exits.

CHANCE
Look, now y'all know I can't say
anything official with out my

officer here. (Beat) But I will say
this! And hopefully not get into
too much trouble.
Several laugh.
CHANCE (CONT’D)
I am livid that this happened to
members of my family. When I say
family I mean. Both by blood and my
brothers in blue. However (Beat)
that will not thwart our ever
endeavors to get to the bottom of

Chance spits then exit.

The door opens and two guys walk in.
Meet MARCUS MONTE, the Monte patriarch and head of all the

As well as MARK MONTE, Marcus's son who runs the narcotic
business. ADEPT. ANGRY. ALERT. (The shooter from the alley.)

NAKED, we can see his upper body is covered in WINDING TATTOO

He wraps a towel around his waist and begins to brush his
teeth.
Blank stare. Emotionless. Smile?
A woman walks in the bathroom holding a one year old.
LITTLE CHANCE
Hey baby and my baby boy.
LC turns and kisses his wife, then son, his wife, then son
over and over until his son begins a giggle fit.
--What the Romeo Character can't be happily married with a

INT. CABIN IN THE WOODS - SAME TIME14 14
A small framed individual is HUNG WITH A SACK OVER THEIR
HEAD, SUSPENDED ABOVE THE MOUTH OF AN ANTIQUE WELL, with the
rope wrapped around their waist, hands tied behind their

Chance holsters his pistol in a concealment holster and
fingers the gag out of her mouth.

And how do y'all know?

Chance's foot launches for the wench.

I'd like to know if and when we're

He sees the BLOOD!
LITTLE CHANCE (CONT’D)
CeCe?
He runs closer and around the kitchen island and finally sees
it!
CECE'S LIFELESS, BLOODY, AND BEATEN BODY LIES IN THE CENTER
OF AN OCEAN OF BLOOD!
DEVASTATION. PANIC. SHOCK.
LC GASPS!
LITTLE CHANCE (CONT’D)
CeCe? CeCe! CeCe?
LC barrels for his wife.
LITTLE CHANCE (CONT’D)
No! CeCe? CeCe!
He slips in the blood and slides into her smashing against
the island stove and her inanimate anatomy.
Squabbling and splashing around in the liquid Crimson, he
tries to spin around to grab her.
Finally, ENSANGUINED IN HER BLOOD, CRYING, and SCREAMING out
he pulls his wife into his arms.
Her face flops against his cheek as he wails.
LITTLE CHANCE (CONT’D)
No, no, no, no, no? No! Cecilia!
Baby? Baby! Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!
Tighter and tighter he pulls his wife's stringless marionette
of a body into his embrace, unable to catch his breath.

REDDENING FACE.
TEARS.
VEINS POPING.

Suddenly LC gasps with realization!
LITTLE CHANCE

He lowers his wife's body, stands, and begins to frantically
run around the house calling for his son.

Hush, you volunteered with joy and
a lot of energy.
