CUT TO:
JACK
Thanks for joining me on that team,
sorry it wasn't more exciting like
the movies, Mike. So wait, dude, you
brought your PS3 from Atlanta??
MIKE
Oh yeah, dude. I wouldn't forget
that.
JACK
And UFC 3?
MIKE
Yeah dude. C'mon, what do you think
this is, amateur hour?
JACK
Just checking dude. Yeah so, Matt,
Jessica, have y'all ever played UFC
3?
Matt and his girlfriend, Jessica, have tagged along for the
night.
MATT
No, I don't think so.
MIKE
Dude you are in for a treat-

JACK
Oh shit dude! we're gonna have to
create them!
MIKE
Yes. Yeah guys, we're gonna have to
create you.
JACK
Yeah and then Jessica, you can kick
the shit out of your boyfriend.
JESSICA
Wow, I'd be honored.
JACK
Yeah so we've been playing this game
since- when did this game come out,
in like 2009?
MIKE
Something like that.
JACK
Yeah, and there's a create-a-fighter
mode. So we all created ourselves and
then would compete in tournaments
against each other. It's a tradition
thing, something we always do when we
get together.
MATT
Cool.
JACK
Yeah and we'd give each other crazy
tattoos and-
They see a man lying on the ground and a car peel off.
JACK (cont'd)
SHIT.
MIKE
Oh my God.
JESSICA
Ok, I'm calling the police. What the
fuck!
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)

JACK
No wait wait! We can't, we've got
weed on us.
MATT
Dude a guy just got shot! Let's just
toss the weed. We gotta do something.
JACK
No, I know! But that fucks with our
story. Like why we're out here! And
what if we become like suspects or
some shit!
MIKE
Dude we just witnessed a homicide!
They won't- there's a dead guy over
there!
MATT
Let's just-
MIKE
Wait, look!
JACK
Oh shit! What do we do, what'do we
do??
JESSICA
Ok, maybe we can just sort-
MATT
Jessica, call the police.
JACK
No just wait, wait. Let's just..
MIKE
Dude, where are you- I don't know if
that's a good idea.
JACK
Come on guys, we gotta help him. It's
the right thing to do.

JACK
Hey man, are you alright?
MATT
We saw what happened, help is on the
way.
JESSICA
(on the phone)
Hi, yes. We just witnessed a shooting
and-
JACK
Wait what? Matt! Why did she-
MATT
Yes! Come on man! We had to! You want
this guy to die?! What are we gonna
do- Take him to your place and give
him some band-aids?
MIKE
Sir?
JESSICA
Is that-?
JACK
What the shit?! Is that- DiCaprio!?
MIKE
Dude.
MATT
Hey there, how can we help you?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
No cops.
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)

JACK
Yeah yeah, no worries. No cops are
coming. We didn't call-
JESSICA
What! ...A man got shot!
JACK
Shit. Alright. Uhh.. Leo, can you
stand? We gotta got get you out of
here.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
I'll need some help.
JACK
Alright, come on guys. Let's get him
on his feet.
They help Leo get to his feet and help carry him with his
arms around Matt and Jack's shoulders.
MATT
Wait, where are we taking him?
JACK
To my apartment, it's not far. We
just gotta move fast. Jessica can you
call the cops back and tell them it
was a false alarm?
JESSICA
Sure. Yeah. I'll just call them back
and tell them we're kidnapping a
wounded movie star and my friend
Jack's got it allllll under control.
JACK
Damnit, Jessica, that's not the
point! Look at what's happening!
These aren't normal circumstances..
Just be a team player.. please?? The
cops can't show up here!
JESSICA
Fine! God Damnit. This is bullshit.

JACK
Leo, you doin' alright man?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Yeah, I've been better..
JACK
What happened man?? Who was that that
shot you?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Let's just focus on getting back to
your apartment.
JESSICA
Yes, hi. Sorry. I just, um. I just
called a few minutes ago. And um. I
thought I um.. saw someone get shot.
but uhh.. I was mistaken. It was
nothing. So I know you're not
supposed to call with false alarms.
I'm sorry. I just wanted to let you
know it was nothing. Uh huh. Oh ok.
No totally. I understand. Huh- oh no,
I don't live around here. I was just
leaving a friend's house and it
spooked me... Can I-? Ahhh, well I'm
already on the way home, but I can
double back if that's something- ok.
Ok. Yeah, just give me a sec to turn
around.
Jack, Matt, and Mike all look back at Jessica like 'wtf'.
JESSICA (cont'd)
Yep. Ok, I'm on the way.
JESSICA (cont'd)
Fuck! Goddamnit!

JESSICA
I can't believe you got me into this
crap, Jack! Like seriously. This is
absolutely bullshit. All because you
had to have your precious weed!
JACK
I got you into this?! You're the one
who called- whatever! Forget it. what
did they say??!
JESSICA
I have to go back to the fucking
crime scene to give a statement about
what I "heard"! There's no take backs
when you call 911! There's no fucking
take backs! Why did you make me do
that?!
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
It's ok. Let her go.
MATT
Hey um, Mike, could you take Leo for
a sec?
MIKE
Sure man, I got you.
CUT TO:
MATT
Wait, babe, wait. You said on the
phone that you were in your car
right?
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
9.
JESSICA
Yeah, so?
MATT
Look, just walk back with us so you
can take my car back to the crime
scene. If you just show up on foot,
it's gonna look super sketchy.
JESSICA
Goddamnit. I can't fucking do this,
Matt. I'm not a special ops spy or
criminal master mind. This isn't
Oceans 11! I can't keep it cool
around the cops when I know what
really happened! Fuck.
MATT
Look. Look. Hey, yes you can. Just
play dumb. You said you just heard
something that spooked you and got in
your car. Just stick with that. You
didn't see anything. You just heard
something that spooked you, got in
your car, panicked, called 911, and
then looked back and didn't see
anything. Ok? That's easy. You can do
that, babe.
MATT (cont'd)
Hey? Come on. You can do this. Hey.
Jessica.
MATT (cont'd)
I love you. I believe in you. I know
you can do this.
JESSICA
Ughh. How the fuck did this happen.
Why are we doing all this?
MATT
I don't know.. It's super bizarre
right... You know DiCaprio is Jack's
favorite actor, right?
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
10.
JESSICA
I mean, I'm not surprised. Probably
could've guessed. He's a huge movie
star.
MATT
Yeah but Jack idolizes him. He wants
to model his acting career off of
Leo.
JESSICA
Yeah, yeah. He's told me that before.
Wait, what about the whole race car
thing?
MATT
I think that was more of his dad's
dream. What he was sort of pushing
him to do. I mean, you know, Jack
competed in high school. He was good.
But he's all in on acting now.
Really, it's always been what he
truly loves.. So, you know, just
imagine if you found Ruth Bader
Ginsberg bleeding in the street.
You'd want to help her too.
JESSICA
(laughing)
Yea.. But RBG would accept a fucking
ambulance!
MATT
Hey, guys are fucking morons. What
I'm trying to say is, you haven't- we
haven't done anything wrong. We're
Jack's friends. I'm sure he'd
appreciate us being together on this.
Jack just wants to help his hero. He
doesn't want to see Leo get carried
off on a gurney or worse in cuffs
with paparazzi all over him..
MATT (cont'd)
Come on, let's catch up with the
group.
JESSICA
Matt.
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)

MATT
Yea?
JESSICA
Just promise you won't let this whole
thing go to Jack's head.
MATT
I promise.
CUT TO:
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Thanks for helping me out, guys.
MIKE
Yeah, Dude. You're Leonardo DiCaprio.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Well. You could've fooled me.
MIKE
Yeah dude, don't worry.. We're not
going to let you go.
JACK
..God damnit, Mike.
MIKE
Hey, you know his name is Jack.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Oh yeah? I'm sure you never hear that
reference.
JACK
Probably not as much as you do, man.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Yeah, well, send the bill to Kate. I
charge her a dollar every time I hear
that.
JACK
Everything cool? Did you meet the
cops?
JESSICA
No, I'm going to take Matt's car back
to the scene, since I said I was in
my car.
MATT
Yeah don't worry dude, we got it
covered. How's Leo?
JACK
He's alright. What are you going to
tell the cops?
MATT
She's not gonna incriminate anyone
don't-
JESSICA
I'm just going to tell them it was
fluke. It'll be fine..
JACK
Ok. Ok, cool. Sorry for freaking out
earlier. I appreciate you guys doing
this for me.
(gesturing towards
Leo)
And for-
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Thank you.
JESSICA
You're welcome.
JACK
(to Leo)
We're almost there, man.
CUT TO:
JACK
Shit. Matt. Distract- Distract em. We
can't let them see who this is.
Jack and the gang pick up their pace towards the apt.
MATT
Hey there! Sorry don't mean to cause
any alarm. A buddy of ours took a
nasty fall at the overlook. Probably
a little too dark to be up there.
Hah! Just didn't want you to be
concerned.
DOG WALKER
Fritz! Fritz! That's enough! That's
alright. He gonna be alright?
MATT
Oh yeah, yeah he should be fine. Just
needs to rest, maybe some ice.
MATT (cont'd)
Ah what's your dog's name here?
DOG WALKER
Fritz.
MATT
Is he a boy or girl?
DOG WALKER
He's a boy. Sorry he's a little
excitable.
MATT
Ah no worries, can I pet him-
Matt notices there's another dog walker near the gang at the
door.
MATT (cont'd)
(under his breath)
Fuckin' LA..

MATT (cont'd)
(to the dog walker)
No? That's ok. That's alright. Have a
good night!
He sees Jessica dart towards the 2nd dog walker. From Matt's
POV.
JESSICA
Awww cute dog, what's her name??
MATT
Hey babe, did you need any more help
with those groceries?
(To the dog)
Aw heyyy there buddy.
(to Jessica)
Babe??
JESSICA
Nope. Got all the groceries. Just
wanted to say hey to the dog.
DOG WALKER #2
Ahh yeah this is Skittles.
JESSICA
Aww so cute. Alright well have a good
night!
DOG WALKER #2
(a little bewildered
and suspicious)
Ahh yep, you too.
It's locked.
MATT
Goddamnit, Jack.
MATT (cont'd)
Haha our friends are always pulling
stuff like this on us.
JACK
(Off Screen)
Who is it?
MATT
(in a quiet scream)
It's us, you fuck head!
JACK
(off screen)
Is it clear?
MATT
Yes!
CUT TO:
JACK
Sorry dude, just checking!
MATT
Yeah, yeah whatever.
JACK
Thank you for jumping on that.
MATT
Yeah man don't mention it.
Now that they are in the apartment and away from quiet
threat, chaos ensues.
MATT (cont'd)
Alright, babe, here. Here are my
keys. You alright? Do you need water
or anything before you go?
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
16.
JESSICA
No, no. I'm good. I just want to get
this over with.
MATT
Jack! ...Jack! Dude, do you not have
any clean glasses?! Jack is in the
other room frantically helping Leo.
JACK
What?!
MATT
Do you have any-
JACK
Idk dude, sorry I'm kind of
preoccupied right now!
MATT
Whatever. Alright, sorry babe. Idk
where a glass is.
JESSICA
It's alright! It's ok. I don't need
any water.
MATT
Ok let me walk you to your car.
Meanwhile..
Jack and Mike are helping Leo get situated on the couch.
JACK
Here, here. Help me make room for Leo
to lean back. Here, dude, you do that
and I'm gonna get Leo a towel.
MIKE
A towel??
JACK
Yes for his wound! For him to sit on!
MIKE
(quoting Towelie)
"Don't forget to bring a towel"!
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)

JACK
Here, here, prop his legs up on the
table. Here ya Leo, let me just get
you to lie on this.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Owww!!!! Shit.
JACK
Shit, shit! I'm sorry. Sorry dude.
Just trying to help. Here I'm just
gonna put this here.
MATT
Alright man, I'm just gonna walk
Jessica to the car real quick. Don't
lock the door again.
JACK
Yeah, yeah. Alright. I won't.
JACK (cont'd)
Hey Jessica.
JACK (cont'd)
Thank you. I owe you one.
JACK (cont'd)
Ok, dude. Leo. I gotta look at your
wound. See what the damage is.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Ok. Ok. Just do not fucking touch it.
MIKE
Uhhhh.. I have no idea what I'm
looking at dude.
JACK
Shit. Umm.. Dude. It looks like it
might've just grazed you.
MIKE
Yeah it doesn't really look like a
hole.. more like a slash or cut or
something.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Ok...
(beat)
Can I borrow one of your phones?
Jack reaches for his phone. Searches pockets. Can't find it.
JACK
Shit! My phone's- it's somewhere, I
just-
MIKE
Here, you can use mind.
Mike hands leo his cell phone. It's an old flip phone. Leo
takes the dumb phone.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Does this think work?
MIKE
Yeah! Of course it works.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Ok. Ok. Ahhhh. Fuck I don't know
anyone's number.
MIKE
Yeah crazy. No one remembers numbers
anymore.. I guess this would be the
reason you should still memorize
numbers..
JACK
Mike shut up dude, that's not
helping.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Fuck. Ok, let me try...
MIKE
(whispers to Jack)
Dude. It's like The Departed.
JACK
(Praying Leo didn't
hear that, but
holding back a
laugh)
Dude, not right now.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Fuck. Hey man, it's LD. Call back on
this number as soon as you get this.
It's- the number is.. what's your
number?
Jack runs off to find his phone. He comes back with in hand.
MIKE
Oh yeah, it's ah 706-
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
706-
MIKE
587-
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
587-
MIKE
1695.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
1695. Ok. You got that? Call me back,
A-SAP.
MIKE
Oh yeah dude. You're good. This thing
will last for days. What happened to
yours?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Don't worry about it. Do you have any
gauze or something to try and patch
me up? Alcohol? Anything?
JACK
Yeah. Yeah, I'll check for that
stuff. Mike! Get Leo a shot.
MIKE
Oh yeah!
They disperse.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
No- that's not what- Ah fuck it,
might as well.
Matt comes back inside. Matt and Leo have kind of awkward
eye contact.
MATT
Yeah.. she's fine.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Appreciate you all looking out for
me.
JACK
Yeah of course, man. We're all big
fans.
JACK (cont'd)
I gotta be honest with you man, I
can't believe I have all this stuff..
it's left over from a skating
accident years ago.

LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Can I see?
Mike comes back in the room with shot glasses and a bottle
of rum.
MIKE
Matt! You want a shot, dude?
MATT
No thanks, I'm good.
JACK
Ok, dude. Are you ready?
MIKE
Here dude, dude. Take a shot first.
JACK
Thanks dude.
MIKE
Dude, what the hell! That was for
Leo!
JACK
Oh shit! My bad.
MIKE
Here, Leo. Take a shot dude.
JACK
Ok.. Ok. You ready?
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
22.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Give me another shot.
JACK
Get him another shot, get him another
shot!
JACK (cont'd)
Ok. On the count of 3...
Leo nods.
JACK (cont'd)
1..
JACK (cont'd)
DUDE! What the fuck!!
MIKE
Ahhh shit! Sorry I thought it was
water! We needed to clean it out!
JACK
Just put the bandages on him! Could
you help us out, Matt?! Matt jumps in
and starts helping keep Leo still
while they bandage him up.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Fuck you guys! Fuck you! Goddamnit..
Shit. Fuck. Whyyyyy.....
JACK
Sorry, dude! We're almost done!
MIKE
Here dude, we're just gonna bring you
down now.
MIKE (cont'd)
If you want it.. it'll definitely
help.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Light it for me. Please.
Mike lights the bowl and leo takes a big hit. He coughs. The
coughing hurts him like hell.
JACK
Here, lemme get you some water!
JACK (cont'd)
Matt! Where'd you put the cups dude?!
MATT
What! I couldn't find any! I told
you!
He comes back and gives Leo a shot glass filled with water.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
No.. no. I don't want another shot.
JACK
Nah, it's just water. I couldn't find
any other glasses..
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Thanks.
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
24.
They laugh.
MATT
Hey Jack, could you come outside with
me real quick?
JACK
Umm.. yeah sure man. Hey Mike, keep
Leo comfortable for a sec, I'm gonna
go with Matt real quick.
MIKE
Sure, dude.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
(looking at all the
posters of his
films)
This guy really is a fan, huh?
MIKE
Ohhh don't let it go to your head,
dude.. So, LD.. Have you ever played
UFC 3?
CUT TO:
JACK
What's up, dude?
MATT
Alright man.. what's the plan?
JACK
What'd you mean?
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
25.
MATT
What'd you mean, what'd you mean?? My
girlfriend's lying to the cops right
now and you've got a movie star
bleeding on your couch who won't give
us any information! What's the next
move?
JACK
Alright alright. Just relax. We just
got him patched up. We're just now
getting a chance to breathe and
process what the fuck just happened.
MATT
You didn't smoke did you?
JACK
No, no. I'm clear. I did one shot,
but I'm fine.
MATT
Ok. Then, let's figure this out. He
won't tell us anything and he's using
us to cover for him and give him a
temporary hide out.
(beat)
Tell me you see that, right?
JACK
Well, I mean, he needs help dude. I
don't think he's using us. He tried
calling someone, but they didn't pick
up.
MATT
Ok, but look. You gotta see this from
his angle and we gotta be smart. He
doesn't know who we are. For all he
knows, we could be hedging our bets
to get TMZ on the phone and make some
fast cash selling this shit to the
tabloids. We're a threat, dude.
JACK
Nah, no. I don't think he would think
we would do that. Come on man. Do we
look like gossip vultures or
whatever?
MATT
Gossip vultures?
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
26.
JACK
Yeah I don't know the fucking
terminology, I just mean like people
who look to sell stories about
celebrities. He just got shot man!
MATT
Right, he just got shot and we don't
what he's into or what we just got
ourselves into. That's what I'm
saying! We might've just gotten
ourselves in deep with some shit
wayyyyy over our heads. And he's
using our ignorance and your blind
fandom as leverage to not spook us.
JACK
My blind fandom?
MATT
Yeah dude! You're acting like you're
his- when you don't even know him.
Look man. I know he's your idol. But
you gotta stop thinking about how
this could be a golden opportunity to
be his apprentice or protege or
something and realize that we're now
accomplices in this thing and we have
no idea what we've gotten ourselves
into.
JACK
Jesus Christ, dude! Could you just
give someone the benefit of the doubt
and not immediately jump to getting
royally fucked by this thing! He
doesn't seem like a bad guy. He's the
victim! He got shot!
MATT
Yeah and who shot him, Jack? Why did
he get shot? Why do people get shot,
Jack?
JACK
He's a world renowned celebrity,
Matt. There's probably a lot of crazy
people who want a piece of him! Look.
Look. We'll give him a ride home and
be done with it ok. We'll promise to
never speak to anybody else about it.
His secret is safe with us.
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
27.
MATT
Does he know your name?
JACK
Yeah. He knows my name is Jack.
MATT
Don't let him know your last name. He
already knows where you live... I'm
not trying to be a fucking rain cloud
here. I'm being realistic. The only
happy ending this has if we drop him
off and never see him again. This
can't end with the two of you
becoming best buds.. We either cut
all ties with this thing, or yes we
are all, me, you, Jessica, and Mike
are going to get royally fucked.
JACK
You don't think he'll feel indebted
to us? Or some sense of gratitude
towards us?
MATT
No. Not if this incident ties him to
a negative perception in any way.
He's a high profile figure, Jack.
People do him favors all day, every
day. He's most likely not going to
think shit of this... Let's go
inside. As soon as Jessica gets back,
we're taking him home.
MATT (cont'd)
I'm sorry you had to meet your hero
this way, man.
JACK
Ah, that's alright. Crazy story
though, right?
MATT
No doubt. Let's just focus on getting
out of this thing clean.

As Matt and Jack walk back into the apartment, they find Leo
and Mike playing UFC Undisputed 3.
Leo's avatar has a tattoo over the left side of his chest
that says 'MY HEART WILL GO ON' in all caps. And a tattoo
over his groin that says 'DON'S PLUMS'.
MIKE
So what you wanna do, dude, is when I
shoot on you for the take down, you
wanna flick the analog stick away
from me. And then you'll sprawl.
MIKE (cont'd)
Nice! You got it.
JACK
Leo, nice tats dude.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Your friend here insisted.
JACK
Mike, you asshole. What's Leo's
nickname?
MIKE
Hollywood.
JACK
Aw dude, that's my nickname.
MIKE
No offense dude, but I think Leonardo
DiCaprio is a little more Hollywood
than you, bro.
JACK
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Hey, anyone in Hollywood can be
'Hollywood'.
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
29.
MIKE
There you go, dude. Leo has knighted
you. Oh shit! The 'Hollywoods' should
fight next!
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
I think my leg is broken.
JACK
Yeah Mike's a bitch with those leg
kicks. Mike, go easy on him dude,
he's already been shot tonight!
MIKE
No way, dude.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
How do you do one of those Bruce Lee
kicks?
JACK
Press L1 and X.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Hey, hey is that your phone?!
Mike realizes his phone is ringing
and answers it.
MIKE
Hello?
CUT TO:
OFFICER SPIERS
So you didn't see anything? None of
this rings any bells?
JESSICA
No, like I told the other officer, I
heard like a loud 'bang!' and
panicked and got in my car.. to be
honest, when I got in my car, I was
scared, so I just kept my head down
so as not to be seen. That's when I
called 911. When I worked up the
courage to look around, I didn't see
anything. And that's when I called
back.
OFFICER SPIERS
Where were you parked?
JESSICA
Oh, umm. Just down the street over
there.
OFFICER SPIERS
Do you know someone down there?
JESSICA
No. Well, yes, I was visiting a
friend, but he lives around the
corner, so ya know, typical LA. I had
to park like half a block away.
OFFICER SPIERS
Uh huh. Ok well what you heard was
indeed a gun shot. We found a bullet
shell about 10 feet from the blood
you see on the ground over there.
JESSICA
Oh, my.
OFFICER SPIERS
Now was that bang all you heard? Did
you hear anything else? Screaming? A
car engine? Tires peeling? Anything?
JESSICA
Umm, I- umm. Sorry just trying to
think back. It was all kind of a
blur. I think when I heard the
gunshot, my adrenaline just spiked.

JESSICA (cont'd)
But yeah, yeah, now that I think
about it. I think I- Yeah I heard
like a car speeding away.
Jessica is really starting to feel
the heat of the moment and starting
to clam up.
OFFICER SPIERS
Ma'am. Ma'am, it's ok. You're okay. I
know this all seems scary. We're just
trying to get any information we can
to piece this thing together.
JESSICA
Right, right. I know. Sorry. Thank
you. It's just been a weird night.
OFFICER SPIERS
I'm sure it has been. So just walk me
through the exact timeline of what
happened so I can visualize and
cement it.
JESSICA
Ok. Umm.. I-
JESSICA (cont'd)
I- I'm sorry. I just really feel
like- I just feel kind of like I'm
being interrogated, like I've done
something wrong/ And I haven't. I
haven't done anything wrong. I didn't
mean to be here when this happened!
OFFICER SPIERS
Alright. Alright. I understand.
Ma'am. I know./ Jessica was it?
JESSICA
Yes.
OFFICER SPIERS
You are not under arrest. You are
free to leave at your own admission
if you want to, but a crime was
committed here. Armed assault.
Someone was shot and we'd greatly
appreciate your help in finding out
who was shot, why they were shot, and
who did the shooting.

JESSICA
No.
OFFICER SPIERS
I don't either. This is what real
crime fighting looks like, Jessica.
Help us get a potential murderer off
of streets. Please?
CUT TO:
MIKE
This is Mike. Who is this? Yeah, he's
right here. Mike hands the phone to
Leo.
MIKE (cont'd)
Somebody named Tobey wants to talk to
you.
JACK
Tobey? Dude! You just spoke to
Spider-Man!
MIKE
With great power, comes great
responsibility.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Hey bud. T? You there? Yeah. Yeah.
No, man- I'll explain later. I need
you to come get me. Yeah. That's
fine. We're-
(To Jack)
What's your address, Jack?
JACK
Oh. It's um three thousand-
MATT
Jack!
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
33.
MATT (cont'd)
Hey. Leo. Tell Tobey that we'll spot
you a ride. We'll take you where ever
you need to go.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
I think it'd be easier on everyone if
he just came and got me.
MATT
Oh, so you don't want to give us your
address.. Funny. Then, don't make my
friend here have to give up his
address. We have no idea what you're
into, you won't tell us, and we have
no idea who you're talking to.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Relax. It's Tobey. Tobey Maguire.
Come on, it's like he said. Spider-
Man. I got Spider-Man on the line
here, he needs to come and get me/
I've been shot by the way, I don't
know if you noticed! And I'd like my
close friend to get me out of here!
MATT
Don't pull that comic-con fanboy shit
on us! Yeah, great! The guy who ran a
sleazy poker ring is gonna just gonna
"swing" by.
JACK
Matt!! It's fine man, let's not make
a big thing out of this! It's ok if
he comes/
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
I don't need this shit! I need
medical attention. In fact, I grew up
here! I know where I am, I don't need
an actual address! T! You there?!
Yeah man, I'm in Baldwin Hills / near
Jefferson I think, near La Brea! Yeah
I've been shot, I'll tell you later!
MATT
Yeah but you don't want the
authorities or paramedics involved!
That's not shady at all! You should
be thanking my friend here for even
taking you in at all and not
immediately calling the police!

MATT (cont'd)
You might think you're a big hot shot
that's above everybody, but you're
just a shitty human that bleeds like
the rest of us!
JACK
Guys!! GUYS! Please. Fuck! Keep it
down! Leo! Hey, look. We're just a
little nervous about what we've
gotten ourselves involved in here. We
want to help-
(Looks at Matt)
I want to fucking help! Leo, you're
my hero, man. I'm not trying to make
this any harder on you.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Then please! Jack. Give me your
address.
MATT
Fuck you!
MIKE
Could we not just pick a mid-way
point?? A drop off! That way Tobey
gets to take Leo off our hands, but
we won't have to get ourselves any
more involved in this thing than we
have to.
MATT
Or! Better yet, why don't we just
drive you to a fucking hospital??
That's where you need to go, right?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Any public hospital you take me to
will be crawling with press and those
TMZ fucks.
(to Tobey)
T? Meet me at the L.A.C.C. 20
minutes.
MATT
Jess. How did it go? Are you okay?
JESSICA
...It was fine.
CUT TO:
OFFICER SPIERS
So just walk me through it one more
time.
JESSICA
Ok.
JESSICA (cont'd)
I was walking to my car, already kind
of scared. I heard a bang, panicked,
got in my car, looked around real
fast and called 911. I didn't see
anything, so I hung up. Drove away.
Felt stupid and called 911 back to
tell them I thought it was a false
alarm.
OFFICER SPIERS
And that's everything you remember?
JESSICA
Yes. I really didn't see anything.
I'm sorry.
OFFICER SPIERS
Ok. Thank you, Jessica. I know that
took courage. You're free to go now.
JESSICA
Thank you, officer. I appreciate you
saying that.
OFFICER SPIERS
Oh. Jessica! One more thing.
JESSICA
Yes, officer?
OFFICER SPIERS
If you remember anything else or hear
or see anything, please, give me a
call.
JESSICA
Right.
OFFICER SPIERS
Ted!
OFFICER TED
Yes, sir?
OFFICER SPIERS
Put a tail on her for me, will you?
Her story doesn't match and she's
more nervous than an American Idol
contestant.
OFFICER TED
Sure thing, boss.
CUT TO:
JESSICA
They don't suspect a thing.
The group rejoices. Jack goes and gives Jessica a big big
hug.
JACK
Fuck yeah! Thank you, Jess! Thank
you! See! Look at that, Leo. How bout
my friends, huh?
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
37.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Thank you. Thank you. That's
fantastic. But we need to keep
moving.
MATT
Alright, let's get to the car. We've
all had a long night. Let's get this
over with.
JESSICA
Wait, where are we going now?
MATT
Yeah, hold on. Do we all need to go
on this excursion? I mean, Jessica,
babe, you don't need to stick your
neck out anymore tonight.
JESSICA
No, I'm going. I'm in it this far.
MATT
We're just going to drop Leo off so
one of his friends can pick him and
take him home.
JESSICA
Who?
MIKE
Spider-Man.
JESSICA
What?
JACK
We're meeting Tobey Maguire.
JESSICA
Oh so only you three get to go meet
Tobey Maguire?? Fuck that. I'm
coming.
JESSICA (cont'd)
I want to meet Spider-Man. It's the
least you could do for what I just
went through..
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
38.
MATT
This isn't a meet & greet. He
probably won't even get out of the
car!
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
We really need to go.
JESSICA
I'm coming.
MIKE
I'm in!
MATT
Goddamnit.
JACK
It's alright, Matt. We'll take my
car. I'll drive. You just relax. You
wanna stay?
MATT
No!
CUT TO:
They help Leo get in the passenger seat first and the others
keep lookout for any more dog walkers or other nonsense.
CUT TO:
JACK
Aight, man. Where are we going?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Just head north on La Cienega.
JACK
What kind of music do you like? My CD
player's broken, so I just have the
radio.
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
39.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Whatever is fine.
MIKE
Well, Leo, it was good meeting you,
dude.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
You too, man.
MIKE
Hopefully, you get everything figured
out with.. ya know.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
I hope so, too.
MIKE
Hey, maybe you could put Jack in one
of your movies!
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
I think tonight is more a movie than
any movie I could offer.
MIKE
Or he could stunt drive for you.
JACK
Nahh, I haven't done that in years.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
I noticed your race posters. Not many
Americans know about the Nurburgring
race track. Or have it framed on
their wall.
JACK
Yeah. I've always wanted to drive
that track.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Hey. Yeah, we're almost there. Yeah
man, we're alone. Nah, don't worry
about that. Not a priority. Look, I
promise. I'll explain when I'm in the
car with you. You're alone right?
What? Ughhhh. Ok, well you tell
Rodney that no one is following us.

JACK
They keep the gate open at night?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Tobey unlocked it. It's an old
meeting spot to ensure no other cars
are around.
JACK
Yeah. Smart.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Ok, there he is. Well, folks, it's
been a pleasure. Take care of
yourselves. Just pull up next to him
and I'll hop out.
JACK
You don't want any help getting out?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
No, I'll be alright, you've done
enough.
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
41.
JESSICA
So, we won't get to see Tobey?
MATT
Yeah why would want to meet the
people who just saved his friend's
life..
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Look, I hate to break it to you, but
your lesser half is right. This is no
time for a meet & gr-
As soon as the cars are inside the parking lot, they hit the
lights.
JESSICA
Shit! What'd we do!??
Jack guns towards the golf course. Black Dog by Led Zeppelin
erupts out of the car's stereo. The 3 cop cars speed after
Jack's green Volvo.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Do you know what the fuck you're
doing?!
JACK
Just put your fucking seat belt on!
MATT
I fucking knew it! I knew you were
into some fucked up shit!
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
42.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
I'm not into anything you ass wipe!
MIKE
Leo, you were right, dude. This is
way better than your movies!
MATT
Jack, keep it on the fairway dude!
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
What's the matter? Can't take the
bumps?!
Jack catches air off of a huge hill and Leo screams out in
pain when they land.
Jack dips over a hill drives the car into a bunker and cuts
the lights.
JACK
Hold on!!
They bust through the fence and are out onto the road.
MATT
Jack you fucking lunatic, get us out
of this! Do you know what you've
gotten us into!??
JACK
They gotta catch us first!
JESSICA
Where are we gonna go?!!
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
43.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Jack! Listen to me! Do you know how
to get to Mulholland without getting
on the freeway??
JACK
Tell me who they are.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Who!?
JACK
The cops! What do they know!? What'd
you get us into?!
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
I don't know anything about the cops!
JACK
Bullshit!
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Jack. Jack. I'll tell you what
happened, if you really wanna fuckin'
know-
JACK
Yeah I wanna fuckin' know! We all
wanna fuckin' know! If I'm gonna go
to prison for the next 20 years for
kidnapping a celebrity, I at least
want to know why the fuck I did it!
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Get us to my safe house first! It's
too much to explain right now! Get us
out of this and I'll tell you! But
you gotta trust me. The cops have
nothing to do with this!
JACK
Hold tight.
JESSICA
Jack please! This isn't worth getting
fucking killed!
JACK
No one's dying on my watch, Jess!
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
44.
MIKE
She's right, man. This could turn
from a fantasy to nightmare pretty
quick, bro!
JACK
Fuck that! I'm sorry guys! But if I
never do anything significant for the
rest of my dumb life, I'm getting my
friends and favorite goddamn actor
out of this horse shit! Or else what
was it all for?!
JACK (cont'd)
Where next?!
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Follow this road and I'll tell you
when to turn!
Jack takes a mental note, sees red and blue behind him.
JACK
I'll double back. It's not over yet.
Jack cuts it around a corner and does
some nifty shit to evade the cops
again. He drives down a street and
drifts sideways, throws it in reverse
and reverse drives into a driveway,
cuts the lights, and stops.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
You sure you don't want to be a stunt
driver?
JACK
Not my passion.
MATT
It just knows you're here?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Micro-chip. On my belt.
MATT
Oh okay, James Bond..
CUT TO:
Jack drives into the garage and parks the car next to a
bunch of super expensive, nice cars.
MIKE
Too bad we weren't in one of those!
They get out of the car, help Leo out, and follow him to an
elevator.
MIKE (cont'd)
Holy shit. Spider-Man's called me
like 12 times.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
We'll worry about that later.
MATT
Do you think they got your plates,
Jack?
JACK
I don't know. Not gonna think about
that right now.

LEONARDO DICAPRIO

Darlings. These are my friends.
They've taken care of me. Jack, Mike,

JESSICA
Jessica.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Yes. Jessica. Make yourselves at
home, please. Jack. Come with me, I
want to show you something.

MIKE
Well.. pretty crazy night, huh? Who
would've thought we'd end up at
Leonardo DiCaprio's mansion??
MATT
Who would've thought we were just in
a fucking cop chase?!
JESSICA
Yeah and just in time for the orgy to
start.
MATT
Babe..
JESSICA
What!
MIKE
Whoaa what? You think that's what
Jack is doing down there?? Having an
orgy with Leo?!
JESSICA
I mean probably, I don't know! I mean
did you see those women?!
Jessica scoffs.
JESSICA (cont'd)
Why else would they all be here??
Sorry I don't look like some
Brazilian bimbo!
MATT
Jessica.. C'mon. You're beautiful.
What're you jealous or something..?
JESSICA
Eww, no!
MIKE
I'm kind of jealous.
MATT
Alright can we just drop that and
think through this whole thing??
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
48.
MIKE
I mean, we did it man. We saved
Leonard DiCaprio's life! It wasn't
super smooth, but we did it. I mean
what a crazy story! C'mon man, you
don't find any of this cool?
MATT
Yeah, I mean.. Yeah, it's pretty
wild. I just don't feel like we're
out of the woods yet..
MIKE
Dude, we're in Leonardo DiCaprio's
mansion.. This is probably like the
safest place in LA.
MATT
Yeah.. Yeah man, you might be right.
This son of a bitch owes us one,
though. Jack better be at least
making it to second base with some of
those gals.
JESSICA
What was that Matt?
MIKE
Well, I think he can ante up right
now! I'm gonna make a drink from
Leo's top shelf bar over here. You
guys want one?
JESSICA
Absolutely.
MATT
Hell yeah.
CUT TO:
Leo, the ladies, and Jack are in Leo's basement. They are
pampering him and feeding him pills and stuff. Jack just
kind of watches in amazement.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Ladies, thank you. That's enough.
Could you leave me alone with Jack
here for a minute?
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
49.
The ladies all agree and kiss Leo goodbye and say things
like "Goodbye Jack" and giggle and other silly stuff. They
leave.
JACK
You feeling any better?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Yeah man, only keep the good stuff
lying around.
JACK
Dude, did you just pop some
quaaludes??
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Antibiotics.. Here, follow me.
Leo leads Jack down a hallway and into a big display room.
CUT TO:
JACK
Wow.
There are pictures and framed items and gifts and items of
sentimental value from Leo's career of work in film and
environmentalism. Letters from directors, pictures from set,
etc.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Thought you might get a kick out of
this.
JACK
Holy shit, is this the actual top?
From Inception??
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Yep.
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
50.
JACK
All this doesn't get commonplace to
you?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Is this why you wanted to pursue
acting?
JACK
I don't know. I never really imagined
something like this could come out of
an acting career.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Sure you have.
JACK
Nah, man... you're in a different
league. All I imagine is odd call
times, auditions, and rejection.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
That's the way it goes for most. I've
been in this game for so long and
have been so fortunate that to be
honest with you, I don't even really
feel like an actor anymore. It's hard
for me to relate to my own tribe.
That's why I get caught up in
bullshit I shouldn't be meddling in.
To still feel that sense of reaching
for something out of my grasp. But it
makes me lose touch. So I come down
here to remind myself of why I really
do this.
JACK
For the glory? The reputation.
Leo laughs.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
No. Not at all. For the connection.
For the relationships and camaraderie
of coming together and doing
something special. It's the same
thing that I see you have with your
friends..
(MORE)
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
51.
JACK
Aw come on man. You've got close
friends. You've got people that care
about you.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
I do. But Leonardo DiCaprio can't be
a human with flaws. He's an image. A
brand. An ideal. Leonardo DiCaprio is
a patent product. That comes with
consistent expectations. Leonardo
DiCaprio can't get shot and left in
the street. It'd be a national news
story.
JACK
Well, if you don't want to be a
brand. Don't be a brand. Disappear
for a while.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
It's the only life I've ever known,
Jack. And like I just told you, what
this room represents is what keeps me
grounded. It's what reminds me that I
can be just a person around these
people. I don't have to be a brand
around them. See, certain people
reach a level of fame that they can't
come down from. Their internal
compass of what defines them starts
to break down. Their fame
metastasizes until they can't find
the line between themselves and their
brand anymore. They get lost in it.
They lose their sense of identity and
begin to only identify with that
brand that people know them from,
which was never real in the first
place... Look at Tom Cruise. Look at
what happened to Eminem in the early
2000s. What's happening to Ben
Affleck and Will Smith now..

Jack takes a moment to let that sink and look around the
room.
JACK
Why were you shot, then? What was the
point of all this?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
(sighs)
Well, the real reason. The reason I
was shot is so stupid that I'm
embarrassed to even tell you. I wish
I had some grand conspiracy tale to
tell you, but I guess the truth keeps
all of you safer in the long run...
There was this-

TOBEY MAGUIRE
What the fuck is going on?!
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)

LEONARDO DICAPRIO
T. I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to
you, man. Everything's been fucking
crazy.
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Is this the guy?!
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
What'd you mean? What guy?
TOBEY MAGUIRE
The guy who almost got all of us
fucking cuffed and tore up the whole
fucking country club! I swear to God
kid if this comes back to me, you're
fucked!
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Hey, just calm down. He was covering
for me alright.
TOBEY MAGUIRE
What, you told him to do that??
MIKE
Oh shit, it's Spider-Man!
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Hey, shut UP. That's not cute. Who
the fuck are you? Who are these
fucking clowns, LD??
JESSICA
I should've known he'd be a dick.
MIKE
Ya, jeez, Spider-Man 3, much?
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Hey, you wanna keep being a smart-
ass???
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
T, T, shut up. Look. Look. Look at
me!
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Whaa- The fuck is that?! No fucking
way! What did she do, Did she shoot
you?!! Hollllyyy Shit. Hahah Dude
you've really found a winner this
time. Do you know where she is?? You
know she's got your phone right.. Oh
my God, it makes so much sense now!
JACK
Who? Who is she? Who is he talking
about?!
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Your wonder-boy here thinks a little
too much with his dick.
JACK
Wait, wait. A chick did this to
you..?
TOBEY MAGUIRE
He sure can pick him, huh? This one
literally almost got him killed..
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Tobey will you shut the fuck up! I
don't go around talking about your
escapades.
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Yeah, well I didn't buddy up with
some wannabe fans who almost got all
of us fucked!
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Have you talked to her?? Where is
she?!
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Ppshhh, I tried! She's just spouting
that crazy Russian shit.
JACK
Why did some Russian chick shoot
you?!
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Where the fuck did you find these
guys?? And yeah, why the fuck did
Katia shoot you?
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)

LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Look, T. I know you're hot, but take
it down a fucking notch. Please. Show
my friends here some respect. They
picked me up off of the fucking
street and got me home.
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Yeah and almost got you killed. Why'd
she shoot you? She loose her temper
again over some bullshit? What was
it?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
I don't know man, she's fucking
crazy. Okay?! We got in some stupid
argument, it escalated, I wasn't
thinking straight, and next thing I
know, I'm bleeding out on the street
and 4 kids are standing over me.
JACK
That's what happened?? That's the big
mystery?!
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Jack, I'm sorry.
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Always a big mystery with this guy.
Did he tell you how they met?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Tobey, stop!
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Come on! Let's give the tourists a
good story to take back to the
Valley.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
They've gotten enough stories for the
night, I think.
TOBEY MAGUIRE
So Leo's over in Russia fighting the
good fight for the planet, right? And
he gets invited by Putin himself to
attend some fucking "We're better
than America" function. And Ol' Leo
boy here is smitten with a young
bright eyed Russian gal, not a day
over 20.

I'm going to put her on a private jet
and send her home. It won't be messy.
I'm just gonna put her on a plane and
cut her out of my life.
TOBEY MAGUIRE
You sure she won't shoot the pilot?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Oh yeah? And how are we gonna do
that, exactly? You want the KGB to
know me as the guy that brought their
princess to American and got her
locked up?? Do you know the price
I'll have on my head?
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Then we'll just make sure it's not
tied to you! C'mon man. It'll be
child's play.
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
57.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
It doesn't matter who it's tied to.
They expect me to be taking care of
her. If anything happens to her, it's
my head!
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Come on, dude.. you cannot be this
scared of her! She fucking shot you!
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Yeah I know!! Exactly! That's why-
Occam's Razor, right?? The simplest
solution is the best. I'm just gonna
send her home and wash my hands of
it. I don't want to get in a pissing
contest with the KGB. Their fucking
90 pound granddaughter already almost
killed me!
TOBEY MAGUIRE
You've gone soft, bro. What were you
doing with her in Baldwin heights
anyway?!
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
I was letting her drive. Just showing
her LA.
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Aaahh, she wasn't easy on the
merchandise was she?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Do you have any idea where she is?
She still has my phone right??
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Yeah, let's go get her. Leave the
kid-o's here. We'll track her down.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
No, man, no. She'll cool off and come
back. She's probably running my
credit card dry at a suite downtown
somewhere.
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Yeah, check your bank account!
Perfect! Come on!
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)

LEONARDO DICAPRIO
No, I want to resolve this in my
home! I'm not leaving again tonight!
Just please, leave. I'll catch up
with you tomorrow.
TOBEY MAGUIRE
I'm gonna go find her..
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Tobey. I swear to God dude. Just
fucking leave it be.
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Why!
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Because I fucking said so!
TOBEY MAGUIRE
(to Mike and Jack)
Come on. Guys! What you think? You
wanna help Leonardo DiCaprio out,
right??
MATT
We did already, you web fuck.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
(to Tobey)
What are you doing?
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Come on, they could be of use to us.
Leo puts his hands on Tobey and tries to lead him out of the
house.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Alright, come on let's go!
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Hey, hey! What the fuck are you
doing?!
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Yeah go fuck yourself!
TOBEY MAGUIRE
That's the last time I try and help
you get your head out of your ass! Go
be a fucking bottom bitch for that
whore!
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Just get the fuck out!
MIKE
Hey I'm glad Spider-Man 3 sucked,
because you suck!
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Who is this fucking guy!? I'm gonna
find her! You watch!
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Piss off!
Leo, Mike, Matt, Jess, and Jack are left alone in the foyer.
JACK
He's going to find her, isn't he?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
He's gonna get me fucking killed is
what he's gonna do.. Guys, I'm sorry.
I've dragged you too far into this. I
should've kept my distance and had
you leave way back. You have to go. I
can't ask any more of you.
JACK
Ok. We understand. Do you need
anything else, before we go?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Just you know, don't tell anyone
about this.. You remember how to get
out?
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
60.
JACK
Sure.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Ok. Goodbye, then.
JACK
What if we need to reach you?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
You won't.
CUT TO:
They all get back into Jack's car and sit for a moment. Jack
tries to break the tension.
JACK
Well.. at least we got to meet
Spider-Man.
JESSICA
I'll never watch those movies the
same way again..
MATT
Yeah what the fuck man, who would've
thought.
MIKE
Just a typical night in Hollywood.
JESSICA
As if..
MATT
Mike, you're really getting your
money's worth on this trip dude.
JACK
You guys want to grab something to
eat? It's on me. Least I could do.
CUT TO:
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
61.
MATT
Well can't say I'd do it again, but
this has been a fucking wild night,
man. What a way to meet your idol,
huh?
JACK
Yeah, man. Thanks going along with it.. Sorry if it got a
little hairy there for a second.
JESSICA
Tonight probably would've been Leo's
best movie.
(reconsiders)
Well, nevermind.. Titanic.
MIKE
I can't believe it was his girlfriend
that shot him.. what a bummer, man.
JESSICA
Do you think they'll find her?? That
whole thing doesn't surprise me at
all.. of course he dates women like
that.
JACK
Where do you think she is?
MATT
(being sarcastic)
In this diner. Eating cheese cake.
JACK
Yeah right.. that'd be smart
actually. Last place anyone would
look.
JESSICA
No, she's definitely somewhere stupid
expensive.
JACK
Where would you go, Jessica?
JESSICA
Pssh, I don't know. Some like rooftop
suite downtown or something.
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
62.
MATT
I could see that.
JACK
Wanna go find her..?
MATT
Yeah, that'd be smart..
JACK
No, for real.
JESSICA
I think they can probably handle it
from here..
JACK
I don't know.. something just doesn't
sit right with this whole thing. I
mean y'all heard all that shit Tobey-
Spider-Man was saying!
MATT
Jack... let it go man. We're done.
What, you wanna go fuck around with
the KGB??
JACK
Dude, no. I just think if fucking..
Tobey Maguire finds her first, it
could get way worse.
MATT
Yeah and that's none of our concern.
JACK
It's not? I mean we're tied into this
thing now. Come on, Matt. Have a
little heart.
MATT
Have a little heart?? Are you fucking
kidding me? I've been- We've been
with you the whole way! Put our necks
on the line multiple times and just
barely got out clean, and now you're
fucking asking us to jump back in??
All to fulfill this celebrity fantasy
of yours??
JESSICA
Babe-
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
63.
JACK
Dude it's not a celebrity- fuck you
man, why can't you just see them as
people?? Why are they- why is Leo so
below your standards of helping
someone?!
MATT
Because he has everything, Jack. He
has every resource at his fucking
disposal. Why should I put my neck on
the line to help a millionaire movie
star who got tied in with shady
illuminati criminals??
JACK
Because what if he needs a friend? A
real friend to help him out.
MATT
Oh. So you're gonna be his friend,
Jack? You guys are best buds now? And
what are we.. the three of us, just
fuckin' chopped liver?
JACK
No.
MATT
Our needs don't matter?
JACK
No! Yes! Of course, man. I'm super
grateful for everything y'all have
done for me tonight. Maybe I just
want to return the favor or at least
try to for someone else!
MATT
Jack, you're no lesser of a person or
a friend for just letting this go,
man! Or you can be a friend by not
asking your friends to put themselves
in danger. Again!
JACK
I'm not asking you to do anything for
me, Matt. I'm going to go help
someone I consider a friend, but I
know you don't see him as anything
more than a dirty celebrity..
JACK (cont'd)
So anyone else who would like to join
me in helping a friend is welcome...
MIKE
I'll come with you, dude.
JACK
Alright. Let's go find this Russian
bitch.
Jack throws money on the table and starts to go, but Jessica
grabs his arm.
JESSICA
Jack. I know you care about Leo, and
I think that's great. But you don't
have to do this. Not even Leo would
want you to.
JACK
Thanks, Jessica. But yes, I do.
JESSICA
Matt, do something!
MATT
JACK!
MIKE
Don't worry, you guys are doing the
right thing. But somebody's gotta
look after this doofus.
(beat)
Hey don't worry, I won't let him do
anything dumb. I mean what are the
odds we actually find anything,
anyway? Later.
MATT
Great.
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
65.
CUT TO:
JACK
Thanks for tagging along, man.. I
know I was talking a bunch of shit
back there, but I don't want to go
through with this alone.. I'm glad
you're here, dude.
MIKE
It's alright man, I know where you're
coming from. I'm just here to make
sure you don't end up in somebody's
trunk..
MIKE (cont'd)
Glad I'm here too, bro. So where are
we goin??
JACK
I don't know, man... Where should we
start?
MIKE
I don't know dude! How the hell are
we gonna find this bad bitch? We
don't know anything about her!
JACK
Nah, sure we do. We know her name is
Katia, she's Russian, she's probably
using Leo's name to check in to a
hotel.. She's probably downtown.. AND
she's gotta be smoking hot. She can't
be that hard to spot.
MIKE
True, dude. True. I don't know man,
to be honest this all sounds pretty
risky.. Let me ask you something..
Why do you want keep helping this
guy?
JACK
I just feel compelled, like a calling
to help someone in need.
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
66.
MIKE
And it has nothing to do with Leo
being your idol?
JACK
Well..
MIKE
So, you want to be your hero's hero?
Jack laughs.
JACK
Sounds kind of lame when you say it
like that. But I guess yea. Yeah. I
just don't want to leave it how it
ended, ya know?
MIKE
I hear ya dude. I hear ya.. What
would we do if we found her?
JACK
We'd bring her back to Leo's. Control
the variable.
MIKE
Alright, so how the fuck are we gonna
do this?
JACK
Ok, dude. Here's what we're gonna do.
Use my phone. Look up the most
expensive hotels in downtown LA and
we'll go down the list asking to be
connected to DiCaprio's room. If they
put us through, we know she's staying
at that hotel.
MIKE
Nice. Ok.
MIKE (cont'd)
Ok, dude! This website says there are
100 hotels in downtown LA.
(MORE)
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
67.
MIKE (cont'd)
The one at the top of the list is
Comfort Inn Los Angeles.. She's
probably not there.
JACK
What? What are you on? Dude are you
on the Maps App?
MIKE
Uh.. yeah.
JACK
Dude don't use the Maps App! The Maps
App sucks! Just google "best hotels
in Downtown Los Angeles"
MIKE
Ok, ok. Where is google?
JACK
Christ dude, you really got to get a
smart phone. Just click on safari.
MIKE
Dude, look at how much battery I
have.. 3 bars. I haven't charged my
phone in days.
JACK
Alright dude, whatever! I'm not
worried about that right now. What
does it say?
MIKE
Look dude, your dumb smart phone..
like 20% battery.
JACK
Mike! Whatever man! What does safari
say?
MIKE
Umm it says... The Ritz-Carlton, Los
Angeles.
JACK
Perfect. Call there.
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
68.
MIKE
What do I say?
JACK
Just put it on speaker. I'll talk.
It's ringing.
RITZ CLERK VO
Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles. How may I
assist you?
JACK
Hi, yeah. I think I left something in
my room. My partner is still there. I
was wondering if you could connect
me?
RITZ CLERK VO
What name is the room under, sir?
JACK
DiCaprio.
Silence..
RITZ CLERK VO
Umm.. when did you check in, sir?
JACK
Earlier tonight..
RITZ CLERK VO
I'm sorry, sir. I don't see a room
under that name..
JACK
Ok, she's not at the Ritz.
MIKE
Oh dude, this hotel is 850 bucks a
night.. It's got a spa AND a hot
tub.. nice.
JACK
What is it?
MIKE
The Beverly Hills Hotel.
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
69.
JACK
This bitch would be in Beverly
Hills.. Alright call that one.
BEVERLY CLERK VO
Beverly Hills Hotel.. How may I
assist you this evening?
JACK
Hi, yes. I think I might've left
something in my room. My partner is
there, would you mind transferring
me?
BEVERLY CLERK VO
What name is the room under?
JACK
DiCaprio.
BEVERLY CLERK VO
One moment Mr. DiCaprio.
MIKE
Did it go throu-
JACK
Ok fuck! Hang up, hang up!
KATIA
Hello?
Mike hits the lock button instead of the end button. They
both scramble.
MIKE
Shiiiit.
JACK
Dude, dude!
KATIA
Who is this?!
MIKE
Fuck! Sorry dude.
JACK
It's cool. It's cool.. Dude, that was
her!
MIKE
I know! That's crazy!
JACK
We found her! Yes! Nice job, dude!
MIKE
Alright dude! We're going to Beverly
Hills!
JACK
Mike, come on dude. You're killing
the vibe.
MIKE
No, I'm not.
Mike's humming fades and the real theme to Beverly Hills Cop
fades in as we see Jack's Green Volvo drive through
Hollywood.
CUT TO:
JACK
Alright man, just follow my lead on
this. Oh! Can you do a Russian
accent?
MIKE
I will do my best, com-er-ade. Po-lar
bears are weak and puny!
JACK
Better than nothing..
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
71.
MIKE
Ok. But we don't look very Russian,
Com-er-ad.
JACK
Anh, we're white. Close enough.
CUT TO:
Mike and Jack walk up to the clerk in the lobby. Jack breaks
out a pretty decent Russian Accent.
JACK
Good evening, sir. Our cousin,
Katia,called and told us she is
staying in your hotel. What room is
she staying in? We'd like to see her.
MIKE
She is our fav-or-ite coosin.
BEVERLY CLERK
Yes. Let me check for you. What did
you say the name was.
JACK
It should be under DiCaprio.
BEVERLY CLERK
And what are your names?
JACK
Oh uhh I am Vlad. And this is my
brother..
MIKE
Milo.
BEVERLY CLERK
Vlad and Milo. Right. She is staying
in the penthouse suite. Room 1100.
Would you like me to phone and let
her know you've arrived?
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
72.
JACK
No thank you, we'd like to surprise
her. We haven't united since the
winter.
MIKE
In Stalingrad.
BEVERLY CLERK
Very well. The elevators are right
this way.
JACK
Thank you.
MIKE
Send Vod-ka.
JACK
Stalingrad..?
We see the clerk pick up the phone and call room 1100. He
smells something fishy in all of this.
KATIA VO
Yes?! Who is this??
BEVERLY CLERK
Sorry to bother you, ma'am. But your
cousins from Stalingrad are on the
way up to see you..
KATIA VO
Stalingrad?! Is this a joke?!
BEVERLY CLERK
No, I'm afraid not, ma'am.
KATIA VO
Stalingrad isn't a place anymore,
imbecile!
CUT TO:
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
73.
Jack and Mike get off the elevator and head towards room
1100.
MIKE
Ok, dude. What now?
JACK
I don't know, man.. I'm winging it.
We gotta drop the Russian thing
though, she'll never buy it.
MIKE
Damn.
MIKE (cont'd)
Let's just tell the truth dude.
JACK
What?
MIKE
Yea! Let's just tell her that Leo
really wants to see her and smooth
the whole thing over.
JACK
Really?? I don't know man, you really
think that's gonna work?
MIKE
Dude what else are we gonna do?? It's
not like we'd be able to trick a
Russian mobster into coming with us
and casually take her back to Leo's..
JACK
Fuck.. Yeah you're right.
MIKE
You got this.
JACK
Fuck.. ok. Here goes.
Katia answers.
They are kind of frozen just over how hot she is.
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
74.
KATIA
Are you the two from "Stalingrad"?
JACK
Uhhh.. yeah we're from- no. We are
here for-
MIKE
Leo wants you back.
KATIA
Ughh. Of course he would send his
little boys to apologize for him..
Well.. Are there flowers or anything?
JACK
Uhh.. shit. No, no flowers.
KATIA
No flowers??
MIKE
Vodka is on the way.
KATIA
You tell Leo that he knows nothing of
romantics. Nothing of how to treat a
woman!
JACK
Katia come on!
KATIA
Leave me alone or you will be sorry!
JACK
Wait! Look, Leo didn't send us! We
came here on our own on his behalf.
He wants to make things right, but
didn't know where you were. So, we
decided to find you! And we did! In
all of LA.. Please, just come with
us.
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
75.
KATIA
Why should I trust you..
MIKE
Because we don't want anything.
KATIA
What?
MIKE
There's nothing in it for us.
KATIA
Mmm.. There's always something in it.
JACK
Because we don't want anyone else to
get hurt!
KATIA
What do you mean??
SECURITY GUARD
Are these two bothering you, ma'am?!
Katia considers.
KATIA
No, no. Thank you, gentlemen. Come
inside, boys!
Jack and Mike follow Katia inside room 1100. The security
guards stare down Jack and Mike.
CUT TO:
KATIA
Come in. Sit down.
She points for Mike and Jack to sit on the huge nice couch
in the suite.
They sit.
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
76.
KATIA (cont'd)
What do you know? Who is in danger?
Is there a price on my head?
JACK
What? No, no! We just want to smooth
the waters over everything that
happened.
KATIA
Why?
JACK
Because.. because Leo is a friend of
ours. And he's in need.
KATIA
In need?
JACK
Well yeah.. cause you know..
MIKE
Cause you popped him!
KATIA
Popped.. him?
JACK
Shot him. Yeah, you shot him! And we
just thought we'd come find you first
to try and smooth the waters before
anything.. gets out of hand.
KATIA
Oh?
JACK
Yeah, look. We're not the only ones
who know about the shooting ok? Leo
has some.. friends who aren't too
happy about you trying to kill him.
And we just don't want shit to
escalate. Now, You seem like a head
strong, reasonable woman. You can
appreciate that, right?
Two giant Russian guys in suits come up from behind them and
put them in choke holds.
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
77.
KATIA
I would never try to kill Leo.. I
just lost my temper..
(shrug)
But if you boys think I will be
intimidated-
MIKE
(struggling to
breathe)
We're older than you..
KATIA
If you think I will be intimidated by
these so called Leo's friends.. I
guess we'll just have to send a
message.. Won't we, uncle?
Another Russian man comes out from a room and stands next to
Katia. He smiles at Jack and Mike.
The two Russian goons hit Jack and Mike over the head with
bats.
CUT TO:
JACK
Mike.. Mike! You there??! I'm sorry
dude. Fuck I'm sorry. I fucked this
whole thing up. I'm sorry I dragged
you into this. Mike, Mike wake up
man.
MIKE
Ugghh... whhaaa.. dude.. are we gonna
get whacked?
JACK
No! Fuck that, man! No. I won't let
that happen. Leo will stop it. We'll
tell her to get Leo on the phone and
he'll explain everything for us.
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
78.
MIKE
You really think he's gonna be able
to do that?
JACK
Yeah dude, yeah. I think he can.
MIKE
I hope you're right. How will we get
Katia to call him?
CUT TO:
They hear women scamper and kind of scream away from the
house.
They get pushed forward into a giant mansion and are kicked
to their knees in a living room. The four Russian goons
standing behind them.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Ahh fuck. Guys..
MIKE
That was easy.
KATIA
So these are the boys you sent after
me, no?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
I didn't send anyone after you, babe.
These are- these are the guys who
picked me up off the street when you
left me there to die!
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
79.
KATIA
Baby.. I didn't leave you to die,
silly-poo! You over-react! I was
testing you as a man... and look what
you did. You sent your friends to do
your dirty work!
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
I didn't send them!
(To Jack and Mike)
How did you even find her!! Didn't
you hear what I said to Tobey?! I
said to leave her alone! I thought
you guys went home?!
KATIA
Tobey..? Who is Tobey?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Nobody! It doesn't matter now.
KATIA
Tobey..Tobey.. Ohhh yes.. Tobey! The
boy who keeps calling you on your
phone! Well I blocked him, so you're
right. He doesn't matter now.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Will you untie them?
(to the Russian
goons)
Untie them! Hey guys! Untie them!
Katia snickers.
KATIA
Leo you silly, you know they can't
speak English.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Fine, then I'll untie them. They
don't need to be any part of this.
Leo goes to untie them and the Russian goons steps in front
to cut him off.
KATIA
Baby...
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
No! No "baby"! Vlad can you get a
fucking leash on your niece here!
What is it with you people?!
MIKE
(to Jack)
Vlad? That's your name dude.
MIKE (cont'd)
Ow!
Jack is desperately hoping that Leo can pull this off. Vlad
somehow comes out of the shadows like a classic cartoon
villain. Leo is perplexed by this and starts looking at the
ceiling lights, trying to figure out how that happened.
VLAD
Watch how you speak of our
countrymen, movie star..
VLAD (cont'd)
I've been sent to keep an eye on
Katia while she has her fun with a
big movie star in America. And I must
say I was very disappointed when she
called and told me what you said to
her tonight..
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
What I sa- What did she tell you??
VLAD
You threatened to have my niece,
jewel of Russia, to be thrown in a
cage with your illegals and be
deported like scum back to Mother
Russia?!
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
81.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
I didn't say I would-
VLAD
Shut up! Did you think that your
precious justice system could keep my
Katia locked up in a cage?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
..Just.. Get out. I want.. you out!
VLAD
Shhhh. Don't worry sweet prince. I
assure you that you and your friends
will never see us again, but we will
haunt your memories fore-
VLAD (cont'd)
Who is that..?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Fuck should I know..
VLAD
(to his goons)
Vy za to, chtoby zakryt' vorota ?!
(IN ENGLISH)
Did you forget to close the gate?!
VLAD (cont'd)
(to Leo)
Let's go. Let's go see who it is.
Maybe it's the pizza boy, hmm?
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
82.
Vlad gets Leo to his feet and walks him slowly towards the
door with a gun to his head.
Leo slowly opens the door so that just his face is visible
from the other side.
CUT TO:
Leo looks around and see Officer Spiers waiting with his gun
drawn and back against the wall.
He's got his finger over his mouth, letting Leo know that he
is about to ambush the fucking place.
CUT TO:
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
I think it's for you..
JESSICA
We're here for Mike and Jack!
Mike and Jack freak out with excitement and fear, they try
to tell them to go away but the goons and Katia hold them
back.
VLAD
Who are these serfs... tsk tsk tsk,
you're just getting more of your
friends in trouble, my friend..
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
I don't think so..
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
83.
OFFICER SPIERS
FREEZE!
Just then the foreign models from earlier bust through the
window panes facing the back of the living room on climbing
rope, decked out in all black with mini guns and army boots.
Charlie's Angels style.
Jack and Mike roll out of there behind the kitchen counter.
Officer Spiers comes from up behind them and unties them.
JACK
Yeah, yeah. Who are you?
OFFICER SPIERS
Your friend, Jessica, came clean.
Told me everything about tonight.
Said you guys might be in trouble.
MIKE
Who are these bad bitches??
OFFICER SPIERS
I don't know, but they are some Baaad
Bitches.
Jessica and Matt have carried Leo back inside the house.
VLAD
Not until she lets go of Katia!
OFFICER SPIERS
Everyone's hands in the air!!
VLAD
Was this your grand plan..? Bust in
and just get us to surrender..
OFFICER SPIERS
That's the way it has to go! Only one
other option and you're not gonna
like that one.
VLAD
And what would that option be,
officer?! Do you know who the fuck we
are?!
VLAD (cont'd)
Do you know where the fuck we're
from?! We are from Mother Russia! 17
million of my countrymen died in the
frozen countryside defending her from
the Nazis.. Do you think we're about
the surrender to you?! A pig in
blue?!
OFFICER SPIERS
Today's the day to die then, huh?
VLAD
Russians are prepared for any day to
be the day!
OFFICER SPIERS
Oh yeah? How's your niece feel about
that??
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
85.
KATIA
(screams)
NOOOOOO!!
VLAD
Fuck you, motherfucker!!
Just then, Tobey Maguire and about 5 body guards enter the
house.
TOBEY MAGUIRE
The fuck is going on here?!!
JESSICA
Noo!!
JACK
Hey man! Officer?! You alright?
OFFICER SPEARS
Arrgggh. He hit my vest.. just give
me a sec.
JACK
(to Matt and Jess)
You came back!
MATT
Had a feeling you might be in
trouble! Anyway, what are friends
for, right??
MIKE
Did you guys bring any guns??
JESSICA
..No!
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
86.
OFFICER SPIERS
Ahh shit! I think it might've gone
through.
CUT TO:
CUT TO:
CUT TO:
TOBEY MAGUIRE
How many lives you got left, mother
fucker?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Fuck you..
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Who the fuck are all of these
people??
(Printed with the demonstration version of Fade In)
87.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
My biggest fans, obviously!
TOBEY MAGUIRE
I could use some of those fuckin'-
spider powers right about now.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Shut up, dude.
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Yeah fuck it. I'll just use my gun.
Gonna go smoke one of those fuckin'
Russians! Which one shot you??
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
The Russian-ass lookin' one.
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Good point!
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Tobey, Tobey! You paying these guys
enough for this shit?
Tobey smirks.
TOBEY MAGUIRE
This is their payment!
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Be careful man.
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Never.
CUT TO:
OFFICER SPIERS
Arrgghh. Ok-Ok! I think that's good.
CUT TO:
TOBEY MAGUIRE
Shit, that's 500 bucks y'all just
left on the table! Don't let me get
the next one! The next one is worth
1,000!
CUT TO:
JACK
(to Mike, Matt, and
Jess)
I'm gonna go check on Leo!
Jack freezes.
Jack tackles the goon and knocks his gun free. The goon gets
on top of Jack and starts trying to choke him. The rest of
the gang starts trying to push him off.
JACK (cont'd)
(barely able to
speak)
L1, X.
Suddenly, Mike head kicks the shit out the goon and knocks
him out.
We hear Tobey shout out from the other side of the room.
TOBEY MAGUIRE
NICE KICK, FUCK BOY!!
JACK
Holy shit, nice kick dude! Thank you
guys.
MATT
No, thank you, man.
MATT (cont'd)
(ref. Tobey Maguire)
What is with that fucking guy?
CUT TO:
Vlad grabs Matt by the collar and pulls him upright, using
him as a hostage.
VLAD
Alright! Alright! That's it! The game
is up! Valiantly fought, Americans.
Let us leave and the boy lives.
OFFICER SPIERS
Son of a bitch!
VLAD
Yes that's right! You Americans have
so much value over someone's life. A
nobody. A stranger. You'd rather me
get away than give up one little li-
Leo is standing there on one bum leg with Katia's uzi in his
hand.
It's over.
Matt looks over at Leo in shock. Leo give Matt a head nod.
CUT TO:
EXT. OUTSIDE OF LEO'S HOUSE
JACK
Hey guys. I'm sorry about all this.
Matt, I should've listened to you
back at the diner. I never thought it
would've turned out this bad. In
fact, I was trying to prevent it
from.
MATT
Your heart's in the right place,
dude. If a crazy Russian chick ever
shoots me, I'd want you rescue me off
the street, too.
JESSICA
Just take him to a hospital.
JACK
You bet.
(beat)
Guess you don't need to say it.
MATT
Say what?
JACK
I told you so.
MATT
Nah, Leo turned out to be a stand up
guy.. but yeah I fuckin' told you so.
OFFICER SPIERS
Jessica! You doing alright?
JESSICA
Yes, sir. I'm think I'm alright.
OFFICER SPIERS
That was brave what you did. Looking
out for a friend like that. I'm sure
it wasn't easy to spill the beans
like you did, but it saved his life.
I hope you realize that, young man.
JACK
I don't know how I'll ever repay her
to be honest.

OFFICER SPIERS
You're brash. You got a good group
around you and a good heart. But let
us handle this kind thing next time,
ok?
JACK
Yes, sir. Thank- Thank you for
rescuing us, sir.
OFFICER SPIERS
Now, I'm gonna need all of you to
come down to the station for an
official report, alright?
JACK
Yeah I figured we might.
OFFICER SPIERS
Sit tight.
JACK
Guess I kind of fucked up my good
deed?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Call us even.
JACK
Where is Katia?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Well she's going back to Russia.
Never allowed to come back to the
U.S.
MIKE
Hey! Just like you wanted!
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Yep. And only had to take one more
bullet! But I'm gonna have to lay low
for a while. I may never be able to
go back to Russia.

JACK
Shit man, I'm sorry.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
It's shitty there anyway.
JACK
Well dude, it was a pleasure to meet
you.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
You too, pal.
JACK
Hey man, after we give our statements
at the police station, we were
thinking about getting In-n-Out.. you
wanna join?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Ahh Jack.. I appreciate the invite..
but. You guys have each other and I'd
be a guest. I'd cramp your style.
JACK
Nah man.. we wouldn't-
LEONARDO DICAPRIO
Go be with your tribe, Jack. I don't
belong. We're worlds apart.
JACK
Yeah, I understand.. Well, take care
Leo.
Jack shakes Leo's hand one more time and gets up to leave.
Mike stays back a second. Pats Leo on the back and gets up
to go.
CUT TO:
JACK'S DAD VO
Hey buddy, what's goin on?
JACK
Not much, Dad.
JACK'S DAD VO
What'cha been up to out there?
JACK
Well, I can't technically tell you
yet, but you might want to turn on
the news.
FADE OUT.
