SAM
You wait here with the car running.
ROREY
You know I’ve got your back.
SAM
I don’t want this to be on your hands. I’d be better if you just hung back.
ROREY
Since we were kids we have always gone in together, nothing has changed.
SAM
Fine but I lead.
ROREY
You always do

DANNY
Thank god. I though you weren’t coming. What should I do Sam?
Sam tightens his fist.
SAM
Don’t worry. It’s not in your hands anymore what you will do. It’s these hands that will be done.
Rorey jumps from behind the wall and tackles Danny Striking him in the face.
DANNY
Oh God! I was an accident Rory! I swear! I swear! I SWEAR!

SAM
You swear Danny! YOU SWEAR! The air in your lungs is dust to me. And there is no God in this room for you.

Rory draws a gun.
ROREY
(screaming)
You shut your filthy cock sucking mouth.
Rory puts the gun next to Danny’s Temple
ROREY (CONT’D)
Let me kill him now Sam.
Sam pushes the gun away with his hand staring straight into Danny’s eyes.
SAM
No!
DANNY
Thank you thank you I knew you would be reasonable Sammy you were always the best...
Sam leans his forehead into Danny’s embracing him with his hand around his head like brother.
SAM
Poor Danny. You have it all wrong. This is your last night on earth. I will kill you. But there is something more. Something you don’t know. You see, Lilly? You remember Lilly right?
Danny starts to cry again, Sam backhands him.
SAM (CONT’D)
She was with child Danny. That means that not only did you kill her, you killed the unborn child she was carrying. So you didn’t just take one life. You took two. So I’m not going to kill you right away. That would be too easy. Instead I’m going to let you feel what its like to die twice.
Sam pulls out a knife and stabs Danny in the thigh. Danny screams. Sam pulls out the knife and stabs the other thigh. Sam grabs Rory’s baseball bat and slugs Danny’s Left arm there is a loud crack of bone breaking. Sam switches grip and slugs the right arm. The same crack is heard. Danny is screaming the whole time.
SAM (CONT’D)
(Sam starts to cry halfway through.)
How does it feel Danny? How does it feel? Huh? I can’t hear you! Speak up. Now is the time for your trial Danny! What say you! Why’d you do it Danny!
Sam slaps Danny twice and grips his face getting in real close.
SAM (CONT’D)
She was everything to you! And Rorey! And...huck...
Sam leans over Danny and whispers something in his ear. Danny stops Crying and screaming.
DANNY
(Mouthing)
I didn’t know.
Sam Stomps both of Danny’s feet with a crunch. Danny continues screaming. Sam cuts off both of Danny’s ears and throws them on the ground.
SAM
(Heaving and crying)

Rorey places the gun on the back of Danny’s Head stoic.
