INT. DRAKE’S TOWNHOUSE LIVING ROOM - DAY<br />
A Barbie dream house is on the table. A Ken doll and G.I Joe<br />
doll stand in the doorway kissing.<br />
DRAKE V.O<br />
I always wanted to be married.<br />
Upstairs in the dream house, G.I Joe and Ken sit together in<br />
the dream bathtub.<br />
DRAKE V.O (CONT’D)<br />
The only problem back then was men<br />
could only marry women.<br />
Barbie sits with all her bags packed outside the dream house.<br />
DRAKE V.O (CONT’D)<br />
But now that the gay gods made it<br />
so gays can get married, I couldn’t<br />
be happier.<br />
G.I Joe and Ken are under the sheets of the dream bed.<br />
DRAKE V.O (CONT’D)<br />
You see, after all my bad<br />
relationships, I found the man of<br />
my dreams.<br />
G.I Joe and Ken drive off in the pink Corvette with a Just<br />
Married sign taped to the back.<br />
DRAKE V.O (CONT’D)<br />
This is the story of my happily<br />
ever after.<br />
INT. WILTON MANORS GENERAL HOSPITAL STORAGE ROOM - DAY<br />
DOCTOR BROCK (45), stands tall and thin, with jet black hair<br />
combed back and his Brooks Brothers shirt unbuttoned. His<br />
white briefs and pants are down by his ankles.<br />
BROCK<br />
Oh god, oh god I’m _ _ _ _ _ _!<br />
DRAKE (25), is on his knees in his blue scrubs. Dr. Brock’s<br />
hands are on his head, messing up his blond hair. Drake pulls<br />
back and wipes his mouth, as he stands up.<br />
DRAKE<br />
You sure seemed into it this time.<br />
Drake leans in to kiss Dr. Brock. Dr. Brock pulls away.
2.<br />
BROCK<br />
I am not gay.<br />
Dr. Brock pulls up his pants and starts to button his shirt.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Yeah sure, that’s not what your<br />
cock was saying.<br />
Dr. Brock reaches into his pocket and gives Drake a<br />
prescription.<br />
BROCK<br />
Here’s what you asked me for, but<br />
this is pretty strong stuff.<br />
Drake takes it and puts it in his pocket. Drake smiles.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I know, it’s for my mother to help<br />
her with her pain.<br />
Dr. Brock puts his hand on Drake’s shoulder.<br />
BUZZ<br />
BROCK<br />
My wife’s going away this weekend<br />
so maybe we could hook up again.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I thought you weren’t gay?<br />
Dr. Brock reaches into his pocket and looks at his cell<br />
phone.<br />
Dr. Brock exits.<br />
BROCK<br />
Damn, I am needed in the ER.<br />
INT. WILTON MANORS GENERAL HOSPITAL NURSE'S STATION - DAY<br />
BONNIE (50), overweight with bad skin wears pink scrubs and<br />
sits reading a magazine. Drake sits in the chair next to her.<br />
Bonnie puts down her magazine.<br />
BONNIE<br />
You boys shouldn’t shit where you<br />
eat.<br />
Drake rolls his eyes.
3.<br />
Drake stands up.<br />
Drake sits down.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I don’t know what you are talking<br />
about.<br />
BONNIE<br />
Dr. Brock. You must be using him<br />
since your boyfriend left you at<br />
the altar.<br />
DRAKE<br />
At least I don’t force those young<br />
nursing students to fuck me for a<br />
good grade.<br />
BONNIE<br />
If I tell HR about you and Dr.<br />
Brock, they will fire your skinny<br />
ass.<br />
DRAKE<br />
If you do that, then I will tell<br />
them about the male nursing student<br />
who couldn’t even administer<br />
medications, that you passed based<br />
on his bedroom skills.<br />
BONNIE<br />
I guess we need to both be quiet.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Yeah, mind your own business.<br />
INT. JAVA BOYS - NIGHT<br />
Drake walks into Java Boys and sits at a table. DREW (24),<br />
tall and thin, with short blond hair sits at the table.<br />
DREW<br />
You look like shit.<br />
Drake rolls his eyes.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Thanks. I am working extra shifts<br />
to cover the mortgage.
4.<br />
DREW<br />
Honey, that place is not even in<br />
your name. Just get a place you can<br />
afford.<br />
KENNY (26), walks over carrying a tray with two white coffee<br />
cups. Kenny places the cups down in front of Drake and Drew.<br />
DRAKE<br />
He might come home. I want to be<br />
there when he does.<br />
DREW<br />
Wake up. It’s been six months. He’s<br />
not coming back.<br />
Drake takes a drink from his coffee. He sees HECTOR (28), a<br />
tall, muscular, Cuban man with spiked black hair. Drake looks<br />
at his coffee cup. Hector walks over to the table wearing his<br />
gym outfit.<br />
Drew eyes Hector.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, have you heard anything?<br />
DREW<br />
Leave him alone. Hasn’t your friend<br />
done enough.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, don’t blame Roberto. He’s an<br />
addict. He could be lying dead in a<br />
ditch. Don’t you care, Bro?<br />
Drew picks up his coffee cup and takes a drink. Drake looks<br />
at Hector.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I am worried, but I know he ran off<br />
with that twink Bobby News and left<br />
me days before the wedding.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, you put too much pressure on<br />
him.<br />
Drew stands up. Kenny comes running over.<br />
KENNY<br />
I just heard they found a body at<br />
that new construction site.<br />
Drew sits back down.
5.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Oh my god, it could be Roberto.<br />
I’ve got to go home.<br />
Drake gets up and exits.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, he pushed Roberto too far.<br />
Drew waves Hector away.<br />
DREW<br />
Go away. Be gone. Isn’t there a gym<br />
calling your name?<br />
Hector sits in Drake’s chair.<br />
Drew laughs.<br />
HECTOR<br />
You want me, Bro?<br />
DREW<br />
In your dreams, Bro. I don’t like<br />
muscle boys.<br />
Drew gets up. He looks at Hector.<br />
DREW (CONT’D)<br />
I will never forgive your best<br />
friend for hurting Drake.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, there are always two sides to<br />
every story.<br />
INT. THE LOCKER ROOM - NIGHT<br />
Drake walks down a long, dark hallway. Men stand in doorways<br />
with towels wrapped around their waists. Drake enters a room<br />
and removes his towel.<br />
JOSE (22), with dark skin and short black hair lay naked on a<br />
bed. He has a gold cross around his neck. Drake climbs on top<br />
of him.<br />
Drake smiles.<br />
JOSE<br />
You’ve got my money, dude?<br />
DRAKE<br />
Yeah, I’ve got it.
6.<br />
JOSE<br />
You only want this, because I look<br />
like him.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Shut up. I pay you for sex, not to<br />
be my fucking psychologist.<br />
Jose grabs Drake by his hair. They kiss as Jose pushes<br />
Drake’s head down to his penis.<br />
INT. DRAKE'S TOWNHOUSE KITCHEN - DAY<br />
Drake fixes a tray of oatmeal. He smiles and pours coffee in<br />
a cup and adds three sugars. Drake takes the tray and goes<br />
upstairs.<br />
INT. DRAKE'S TOWNHOUSE GUEST ROOM - DAY<br />
Drake unlocks the guest room door and walks into the room<br />
holding the tray. The walls are covered with sound proof<br />
materials and pictures of him and Roberto.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Get up, honey. It’s time to eat.<br />
ROBERTO (25), lays on a bed in his underwear with his right<br />
leg chained to the metal frame. Medical equipment is in the<br />
room and the blinds are shut. Drake puts the tray down near<br />
the bed. He sits on the bed and looks at Roberto.<br />
DRAKE (CONT’D)<br />
Come on. You have to eat or I will<br />
have to insert that tube again.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Let me go.<br />
Drake laughs as he pulls a syringe out of his pocket and a<br />
small vile of medication. Drake inserts the syringe into the<br />
bottle and fills up the syringe. Roberto tries to move, but<br />
is too weak. Drake injects Roberto with the drug.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Let you go? You’re back on drugs.<br />
You need me. I love you.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
I hate you. Please, please, if you<br />
love me let me go.<br />
Drake looks at Roberto.
7.<br />
KNOCK, KNOCK.<br />
DRAKE<br />
You need your sponge bath and a<br />
shave today. Tonight we can watch a<br />
movie together.<br />
Drake leaves the room and locks the door.<br />
EXT. DRAKE'S TOWNHOUSE FRONT DOOR - DAY<br />
MILLIE (33), a short, skinny Cuban woman stands knocking at<br />
the door.<br />
The front door flies open. Drake rolls his eyes. Millie tries<br />
to go inside but Drake stops her.<br />
MILLIE<br />
Let me in.<br />
DRAKE<br />
What brings you up from Miami?<br />
MILLIE<br />
My brother. This is his house.<br />
DRAKE<br />
He hasn’t been here for six months.<br />
Millie tries to get inside again, but Drake blocks her.<br />
MILLIE<br />
No, my brother would not disappear.<br />
He missed our mother’s birthday and<br />
there was no card or even a phone<br />
call. I know you did something to<br />
him.<br />
Drake puts his hand on his chest.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Your brother left me for some young<br />
twink.<br />
MILLIE<br />
I want you out of his house. It’s<br />
his, not yours.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Go home. You’re not welcome here.<br />
Drake slams the door. Millie pounds on the door.
8.<br />
MILLIE<br />
Let me in.<br />
Drake opens the door.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Listen bitch! I’ve been keeping<br />
this place afloat. Leave now, or I<br />
will call the police.<br />
Drake slams the door again.<br />
INT. DRAKE'S TOWNHOUSE GUEST ROOM - DAY<br />
Drake washes Roberto’s chest. He runs his hands down to his<br />
briefs.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
No, don’t.<br />
Drake shakes his head back and forth.<br />
Drake jumps up.<br />
DRAKE<br />
You don’t have a say. You will see<br />
that you love me and then we will<br />
get married.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
You’re crazy.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Be nice lover, or I will leave you<br />
in your pee and shit for days.<br />
INT. WILTON MANORS GENERAL HOSPITAL NURSE'S STATION - DAY<br />
Drake sits reading a magazine. JESUS (30), a Cuban man in a<br />
black suit, walks up to the desk. Drake looks up and smiles.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Can I help you?<br />
JESUS<br />
Yes, I was told I could find you<br />
here.<br />
Drake stands up. Bonnie walks into the nurse’s station and<br />
watches.
9.<br />
DRAKE<br />
What can I do for you?<br />
JESUS<br />
I am looking for your boyfriend,<br />
Roberto.<br />
Bonnie lets out a laugh. Drake turns to her and then back to<br />
Jesus.<br />
Why?<br />
DRAKE<br />
JESUS<br />
I am a detective working on a case.<br />
Can you tell me where I can find<br />
Roberto? I’ve been to your house...<br />
DRAKE<br />
My house, what’s this about?<br />
Roberto’s not there.<br />
Drake sits down. Bonnie stands behind the chair.<br />
JESUS<br />
I need to talk to him.<br />
BONNIE<br />
He left town about six months ago.<br />
Drake looks at Bonnie.<br />
JESUS<br />
Is this true, Drake?<br />
Drake looks down at the floor and then looks at Jesus.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Yes, he ran off with some guy.<br />
Jesus leans on the nurse’s station.<br />
JESUS<br />
Was the guy’s name Bobby News?<br />
Sweat pours from Drake’s forehead.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Yeah, that’s the man whore’s name.<br />
JESUS<br />
Could we talk after your shift,<br />
maybe at your house?
10.<br />
Jesus steps back.<br />
DRAKE<br />
No, no I’ll come by the station.<br />
JESUS<br />
You do that, and if you happen to<br />
hear from Roberto, please contact<br />
me.<br />
Jesus hands Drake his card. Drake takes it and puts it in his<br />
pocket. Jesus exits.<br />
Drake stands up.<br />
BONNIE<br />
What was that all about?<br />
DRAKE<br />
I don’t want to know.<br />
BONNIE<br />
Do you think Roberto and Bobby are<br />
in some kind of trouble?<br />
Drake walks out of the nurse’s station.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I don’t care about whatever trouble<br />
those two get into.<br />
INT. WILTON MANORS GENERAL HOSPITAL STORAGE ROOM - DAY<br />
Dr. Brock pulls up his pants. Drake stands up. Dr. Brock<br />
hands him a prescription.<br />
DRAKE<br />
You were really into it.<br />
BROCK<br />
You’re not a drug addict, right?<br />
DRAKE<br />
No, it’s for my mother. She’s<br />
really ill.<br />
BROCK<br />
This is strong stuff.<br />
Brock points to the prescription.
11.<br />
Brock smiles.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Believe me, I don’t use drugs.<br />
You’re all the drug I need.<br />
INT. OUT OF THE CLOSET DRUGSTORE - NIGHT<br />
Drake stands waiting at the counter. JOHNNY (25), with a thin<br />
build and short, black hair is in a sleeveless shirt, showing<br />
that both his arms and neck are heavily tattooed.<br />
JOHNNY<br />
Saw a cop by your place today. He<br />
asked me about Roberto.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Yeah, yeah, mind your business.<br />
Johnny leans on the counter.<br />
Johnny smiles.<br />
JOHNNY<br />
I told him you ran Roberto out of<br />
town.<br />
DRAKE<br />
You little bitch.<br />
JOHNNY<br />
A friend tells me you’ve been<br />
paying for it at The Locker Room.<br />
Drake looks around and then puts his finger in Johnny’s face.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Listen, you little whore, I don’t<br />
pay for it. Just because that’s how<br />
you earn your keep, doesn’t mean I<br />
do.<br />
Johnny grabs Drake’s finger and licks it. Drake pulls his<br />
finger away and wipes it on his scrubs.<br />
Johnny exits.<br />
JOHNNY<br />
Next time you’re looking, come find<br />
me, I will give you a discount.<br />
DONALD (25), with thin blond hair comes out holding a white<br />
bag. He hands the bag to Drake.
12.<br />
DONALD<br />
Sorry it took so long. We don’t<br />
stock such hard stuff.<br />
Drake pays for the drug and leaves.<br />
EXT. JAVA BOYS - NIGHT<br />
Drake sits drinking coffee. Hector walks in and sits at his<br />
table.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, did that detective find you?<br />
Drake puts his coffee cup down.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Yes. What’s Roberto’s sister up to<br />
now.<br />
HECTOR<br />
It’s not Millie. Don’t you know?<br />
DRAKE<br />
Know what?<br />
Drew comes in and runs over to the table.<br />
Drake stands up.<br />
DREW<br />
Have you heard honey? Are you OK?<br />
DRAKE<br />
What in the gay gods is going on?<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, that dead body is...<br />
Drew puts his hand on Drake’s shoulder.<br />
Hector stands up.<br />
DREW<br />
It’s Bobby News. He’s dead,<br />
murdered, killed sweetie.<br />
HECTOR<br />
I wanted to tell him, Bro.<br />
Drake falls back in his chair.
13.<br />
DRAKE<br />
That little whore is dead?<br />
DREW<br />
Yes sweetie. Are you OK?<br />
Hector sits back down.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, you shouldn’t talk ill of the<br />
dead.<br />
Drew looks at Hector.<br />
INT. DRAKE'S TOWNHOUSE GUEST ROOM - NIGHT<br />
Drake hooks up an IV to Roberto. He then takes a syringe and<br />
injects the drug he bought from the drug store. Roberto lays<br />
in the bed in a drug induced haze.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Damn, your little whore is dead.<br />
Now the police are sniffing around.<br />
Drake walks over to the window, then to Roberto’s bed, and<br />
back to the window again.<br />
DRAKE (CONT’D)<br />
What are we going to do? Your<br />
sister is bad enough, now the<br />
police.<br />
Roberto, covered in sweat, turns and looks at Drake.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
You, you killed him?<br />
Drake walks over to the bed.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Me? I could not kill. I am a lover.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
You’re killing me.<br />
Drake sits on the bed. He runs his hand though Roberto’s<br />
thick hair.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Oh baby, if I wanted you dead, I<br />
would have done it months ago when<br />
I caught you fucking Bobby in our<br />
bed.
14.<br />
Drake makes a fist and pulls Roberto’s hair. Roberto groans.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
More drugs just make me sleep.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Don’t be silly. I wouldn’t want to<br />
overdose you.<br />
Drake lets Roberto’s hair go. He stands up.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Did he suffer?<br />
Drake looks down at Roberto.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Did who suffer?<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Bobby. Did you make him suffer that<br />
night you caught us?<br />
Drake turns off the light and leaves the room.<br />
EXT. DRAKE'S TOWNHOUSE DRIVEWAY - DAY<br />
Drake walks over to his car. A green car pulls out and Millie<br />
comes running over to Drake. She grabs him and pushes him<br />
against the car.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I don’t have time for this. I am<br />
late for my shift.<br />
Millie grabs Drake’s scrub top holding him.<br />
MILLIE<br />
Just tell me you killed that guy<br />
and my brother.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Get off of me you crazy bitch.<br />
Drake tries to get away from Millie, but she keeps him pinned<br />
up against the car.<br />
MILLIE<br />
They are searching for my brother’s<br />
body. I knew you were twisted.<br />
Drake pushes hard and Millie falls back.
15.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I didn’t kill anyone. Your brother<br />
ran out on me.<br />
MILLIE<br />
We shall see. I told that police<br />
detective, Jesus, all about you.<br />
Millie walks over to her car. She gets in and speeds away.<br />
Johnny comes out in his underwear.<br />
JOHNNY<br />
Looks like you have a shit storm on<br />
your doorstep.<br />
Fuck you!<br />
DRAKE<br />
Drake gets in his car and drives away.<br />
INT. WILTON MANORS POLICE STATION - DAY<br />
Detective Jesus sits at his desk. Hector sits in a chair in<br />
his gym clothes.<br />
JESUS<br />
When was the last time you saw<br />
Roberto?<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, that day at the gym. He told<br />
me he was going to end it with<br />
Drake.<br />
Jesus leans in across his desk.<br />
JESUS<br />
Why? They were getting married in a<br />
few days.<br />
Hector looks down at the floor, then back up, and runs his<br />
hands through his hair.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, Roberto told me Drake had<br />
become too needy. He couldn’t<br />
breathe.<br />
JESUS<br />
So he was going to break off the<br />
engagement? Did he mention Bobby or<br />
anything about leaving town?
16.<br />
Hector leans back in the chair.<br />
Jesus stands up.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, it makes no sense. Bobby was a<br />
trick for Roberto. He wouldn’t<br />
leave everything behind. That is<br />
not like Roberto.<br />
JESUS<br />
Well, if you hear from Roberto or<br />
if you remember anything, contact<br />
me.<br />
Millie burst into the office.<br />
Hector stands up.<br />
MILLIE<br />
Did you arrest Drake yet?<br />
HECTOR<br />
Arrest him for what?<br />
MILLIE<br />
For killing that guy and Roberto.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, Roberto’s dead?<br />
Jesus puts his hands on his hips.<br />
JESUS<br />
Roberto is not dead and no one has<br />
been arrested. Please stop the<br />
drama.<br />
MILLIE<br />
I am telling you. He’s crazy. That<br />
Drake killed that guy and my<br />
brother.<br />
INT. WILTON MANORS GENERAL HOSPITAL STORAGE ROOM - DAY<br />
Drake undoes Brock’s shirt as he kisses his neck.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Is this what you want, daddy?<br />
Drake slides his hand down the front of Brock’s pants.
17.<br />
BROCK<br />
Yes, be daddy's good boy.<br />
The storeroom door flies open. Bonnie comes in. Brock hides<br />
behind some boxes.<br />
BONNIE<br />
That detective wants to see you.<br />
He’s at the nurse’s station.<br />
Drake walks past Bonnie.<br />
DRAKE<br />
You’re such a bitch.<br />
Drake leaves the room.<br />
Bonnie smiles.<br />
BONNIE<br />
Oh! Doctor Brock, the patient in<br />
room 369 wants to see you.<br />
BROCK<br />
I’ll be right there. Just getting<br />
some supplies.<br />
BONNIE<br />
Whatever you say Doctor Brock.<br />
INT. WILTON MANORS GENERAL HOSPITAL NURSE'S STATION - DAY<br />
Drake walks towards the nurse’s station. He adjusts his<br />
scrubs and fixes his hair. He puts a fake smile on his face.<br />
DRAKE<br />
What can I do for you detective?<br />
JESUS<br />
Can I come by your house? I want to<br />
see Roberto’s credit card<br />
statements.<br />
Drake leans against the nurse’s station. Brock rushes by him.<br />
Jesus smiles.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I think you want to get to know me<br />
better, detective.
18.<br />
Drakes stands up.<br />
JESUS<br />
I am married, and I love him very<br />
much.<br />
DRAKE<br />
You’re one of the lucky ones.<br />
JESUS<br />
So can I come by later?<br />
DRAKE<br />
No. The place is a mess. Since<br />
Roberto left, it’s looked like a<br />
scene from Hoarders.<br />
Jesus moves closer to Drake. Bonnie watches from down the<br />
hall.<br />
JESUS<br />
This isn’t a joke. We are talking<br />
about murder and your ex could be<br />
involved.<br />
Drake moves away and he starts to sweat.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I am off tomorrow. How about I<br />
bring all that stuff to you?<br />
JESUS<br />
I need it first thing. If not, I<br />
will be coming over. I already<br />
spoke to Hector.<br />
Drake wipes his forehead with his hand.<br />
DRAKE<br />
No problem detective. I will be<br />
there.<br />
Jesus walks away. Bonnie comes running over.<br />
BONNIE<br />
You better get a lawyer.<br />
DRAKE<br />
No. What for?<br />
BONNIE<br />
Sounds like they suspect Roberto<br />
killed that guy.
19.<br />
Drake walks around the nurse’s station and sits in a chair.<br />
He puts his hands behind his head.<br />
DRAKE<br />
You may be right. Roberto did have<br />
a violent temper.<br />
Bonnie shakes her head with a smile.<br />
INT. HECTOR'S APARTMENT FRONT DOOR - NIGHT<br />
Hector opens the door in a white towel and his body is still<br />
wet. Drake walks in and Hector closes the door.<br />
INT. HECTOR'S APARTMENT LIVING ROOM - NIGHT<br />
Drake sits on the black leather sofa. Hector scratches his<br />
head.<br />
Hector smiles.<br />
HECTOR<br />
What do you want, Bro? I am heading<br />
out to the Floppy Cock.<br />
DRAKE<br />
What did you tell that detective?<br />
HECTOR<br />
What are you hiding, Bro?<br />
Drake gets up, walks over to Hector, and caresses his<br />
muscular chest.<br />
HECTOR (CONT’D)<br />
You’ve never been into me before,<br />
Bro.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I am lonely. Tell me.<br />
Drake kisses Hector’s chest then licks his nipple.<br />
HECTOR<br />
You’re driving me crazy, Bro.<br />
Tell me.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Hector grabs Drake and takes off his clothes. The two kiss.
20.<br />
HECTOR<br />
You think you can handle this, Bro?<br />
Drake rolls his eyes as Hector’s towel falls off.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Yeah, give it to me, Bro.<br />
INT. JAVA BOYS - NIGHT<br />
Drake sits with Drew at a table. The place is empty.<br />
Drew leans in.<br />
DREW<br />
Honey, you look a mess.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I know. I had to have sex with<br />
Hector.<br />
DREW<br />
How was it, sweetie?<br />
DRAKE<br />
I only did it to get information.<br />
He’s not that bad. The gay gods<br />
knew what they were doing when they<br />
made him.<br />
DREW<br />
I am worried about you.<br />
Drake leans back in the chair.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I had to find out what he told the<br />
detective. You know they are<br />
looking for Roberto’s body.<br />
What?<br />
DREW<br />
Kenny comes over with a tray of coffee. He puts one down in<br />
front of Drew and the other in front of Drake.<br />
Kenny walks away.<br />
KENNY<br />
You boys OK?<br />
DRAKE<br />
Yeah, fine.
21.<br />
DREW<br />
The police think you have something<br />
to do with Bobby News’ murder.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I didn’t know that. Hector didn’t<br />
tell me much.<br />
Drake takes a drink of his coffee.<br />
DREW<br />
I think you need a lawyer, honey.<br />
Drew takes a drink of his coffee as Drake puts his down.<br />
DRAKE<br />
You’re not the first person to tell<br />
me that today.<br />

sits up and looks at her husband. Her blond hair is messed<br />
up.<br />
ELLEN<br />
I must be doing something wrong.<br />
BROCK<br />
No, no dear. I’m just under a lot<br />
of stress at work.<br />
Brock gets out of bed and pulls his underwear and pajama<br />
pants up.<br />
ELLEN<br />
Are you sure? We can try again.<br />

INT. WILTON MANORS POLICE STATION JESUS'S OFFICE - DAY<br />
Drake sits in a chair holding a folder. His right leg shakes<br />
as sweat pours from his forehead. Jesus comes in and sits<br />
behind the desk. Drake puts the folder on the desk.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Here’s what you asked me for.<br />
Jesus opens the folder and looks at Roberto’s bank and credit<br />
card statements.<br />
JESUS<br />
Are you aware that Roberto hasn’t<br />
made any car payments in six<br />
months?<br />
DRAKE<br />
No sir. That’s news to me.<br />
JESUS<br />
The bank is looking for it so they<br />
can repossess it.<br />
Jesus looks at the file again and then closes it.<br />
JESUS (CONT’D)<br />
When did you last see Roberto?<br />
Drake puts his hand on his leg to stop it from shaking.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Is Roberto involved in this Bobby<br />
News thing?<br />
Jesus stands up and walks in front of the desk. He towers<br />
over Drake in the chair.<br />
JESUS<br />
Roberto’s sister has filed a<br />
missing persons report. Just answer<br />
the question. When did you see<br />
Roberto last?<br />
DRAKE<br />
Six months ago when he got into the<br />
car and drove away.<br />
Jesus walks around the room.<br />
Drake smiles.<br />
JESUS<br />
Was he alone?
23.<br />
DRAKE<br />
You mean was Bobby with him?<br />
JESUS<br />
I am asking the questions.<br />
DRAKE<br />
He was alone. He took a bag,<br />
drained our joint bank accounts,<br />
and then left.<br />
Jesus walks back behind the desk and sits in the chair.<br />
Drake stands up.<br />
Jesus smiles.<br />
Drake sits down.<br />
JESUS<br />
But you told everyone that he left<br />
you for Bobby.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Do I need a lawyer?<br />
JESUS<br />
Sit down. This is not a formal<br />
interrogation. I am just trying to<br />
figure out if there is a connection<br />
between Bobby’s murder and<br />
Roberto’s disappearance.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I heard that Bobby was gone and I<br />
figured they were together. Roberto<br />
was cheating on me with him.<br />
JESUS<br />
I know. But his friends state Bobby<br />
was just a trick, not his lover.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Look, all I know is that he was<br />
fucking Bobby, broke off our<br />
engagement, and left me.<br />
Drake starts to cry.<br />
JESUS<br />
OK, but it’s strange that there are<br />
no charges on his credit cards and<br />
the car is missing. Aren't you<br />
worried?
24.<br />
Drake wipes his eyes.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Of course I am worried. I still<br />
love him. Even though...<br />
Jesus leans against the desk.<br />
JESUS<br />
Even though what?<br />
DRAKE<br />
Roberto has a temper and he hit me<br />
that night.<br />
Jesus leans back in the chair.<br />
JESUS<br />
When was the last time you saw<br />
Bobby?<br />
Drake stands up and heads to the door.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I don’t like this line of<br />
questioning.<br />
JESUS<br />
I can make this formal.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Next time I will bring my lawyer.<br />
Drake opens the door and exits the office. Jesus stands up<br />
and looks out the window.<br />

do something.<br />
Drake walks over to the window. He moves the curtain and sees<br />
a police car drive by.
25.<br />
Drake turns around.<br />
Roberto laughs.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Just confess to what you did.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I didn’t do anything. This is all<br />
on you. You couldn’t keep your dick<br />
in your pants.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
You killed him. I saw you.<br />
Drake walks over to the tray table, takes a syringe, fills it<br />
up, and goes over to Roberto.<br />

Please don’t. I am an addict.<br />
Drake injects the drug into Roberto.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Shut up. I have to fix this.<br />

Drake sees them in bed together and drops the bag.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Sorry babe, I didn’t want you to<br />
see us this way.<br />
Bobby sits up in bed with a smile on his face. Roberto gets<br />
out of bed, grabs his underwear, and puts it on.<br />
DRAKE<br />
No, no we are getting married next<br />
week.

be tied down.<br />

starts to beat him. Roberto tries to pull Drake off of Bobby,<br />

You dirty little whore. I am going<br />
to kill you. You ruined everything.<br />

friends play volleyball.<br />
DREW<br />
Do you think Roberto killed Bobby<br />
and is in hiding?<br />
Drake has on mirrored sunglasses as he watches the men play.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Could be. He had a temper, but I<br />
think the police are suspecting me<br />
instead.<br />
Drew puts his arm around Drake.<br />
DREW<br />
No sweetie, not you. You couldn’t<br />
hurt anyone.
27.<br />
Hector comes running over. His body is covered in sweat.<br />
Drake smiles.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, did you see that hit I made?<br />
DRAKE<br />
Yeah babe, it was hot.<br />
Hector sits down next to Drake. Drew removes his arm.<br />
Hector stands up.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, meet me at the Floppy Cock<br />
tonight. I will buy you a drink.<br />
HECTOR (CONT’D)<br />
I’ve got to get back to the game.<br />
Hector runs back to the volleyball game.<br />
DREW<br />
Oh, we hate him. Remember?<br />
Drake turns and looks at Drew as he lowers his sunglasses.<br />
DRAKE<br />
He’s not that bad. The gay gods<br />
might have sent me something I can<br />
use.<br />
DREW<br />
You called him a meathead and<br />
anyway those gym rats are not your<br />
type.<br />
DRAKE<br />
It’s time to move on and change. I<br />
need something to keep my mind off<br />
this Bobby shit.<br />
Drake pushes his sunglasses up.<br />

Be careful. Hector is known as a<br />
man whore on the drive.<br />

DRAKE<br />
Can I help you?<br />
JESUS<br />
Yes. Can we come and take a look<br />
around the place?<br />
DRAKE<br />
Do you have a warrant?<br />
Drake continues to walk to the door as his heart is pounding.<br />
He looks up at Roberto’s room window.<br />
JESUS<br />
No, but if you cooperate that would<br />
help with the investigation.<br />
Drake stands in front of the door.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Well you see, I am covered in sweat<br />
and suntan lotion. I have a date<br />
and want to shower and change, so<br />
now is not a good time.<br />
The uniformed police officer, JASON (40), moves closer to<br />
Drake.<br />
JASON<br />
We won’t be long.<br />
JESUS<br />
You can go shower and we will be<br />
gone before you are done.<br />
Drake takes his sunglasses off.<br />
JESUS (CONT’D)<br />
You told me this morning that you<br />
are hoping Roberto will come back,<br />
so this date sounds surprising to<br />
me.<br />
Drake pushes his blond hair off his forehead.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I don’t think it’s any of your<br />
business what I get up to. Sorry I<br />
must go in and shower.<br />
JESUS<br />
So you won’t let us in?
29.<br />

No, not sex. Help me clean up a<br />
mess I made.<br />

Listen, I’ve already been to jail.<br />

DRAKE<br />
Did you get it?<br />
Brock buttons his shirt and pulls up his pants.<br />
BROCK<br />
This is powerful stuff. It can<br />
knock out a horse.<br />
Drake smiles. Brock reaches in his pocket and hands Drake a<br />
pill.
31.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I haven't been able to sleep with<br />
this Bobby News stuff. This should<br />
do it.<br />

Such a shame. He was a nice young<br />
man.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Did you know him?<br />

edge of the tub and washes Hector’s back.<br />
DRAKE<br />
This is payback.<br />
Hector looks at Drake.<br />
For what?<br />
HECTOR<br />
DRAKE<br />
Letting me spend the night.<br />
Drake reaches across to wash Hector’s arm.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, you should get out of<br />
Roberto’s place. The apartment<br />
downstairs is empty.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I think you’re right. I need a<br />
change.<br />
Hector reaches and pulls Drake into the bathtub and the two<br />
start to kiss.<br />
INT. DRAKE'S TOWNHOUSE DRIVEWAY - DAY<br />
Drake gets out of his car. Roberto’s car is blocking the<br />
driveway. A police car pulls up. Jesus and two uniformed men<br />
get out. Jesus walks over to Drake.<br />
JESUS<br />
I have a warrant to search the<br />
place.<br />
Jesus shows the paper to Drake who stares at the car.<br />
JESUS (CONT’D)<br />
Are you OK?<br />

Drake cries. Drew comes in. He looks at Drake crying into<br />
Hector’s chest.<br />
DREW<br />
Oh my God, sweetie. Are you OK?<br />
Drake looks at Drew.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I think he was dead in our bed.<br />
DREW<br />
You were not home last night when<br />
he came back?<br />

He stayed at my place, Bro.<br />

magazine.<br />
DREW<br />
What is going on with you and him?<br />
Drew points to Hector sitting across the room.<br />
DRAKE<br />
He’s not that bad, once you get<br />
used to all the Bro's.<br />
Drake wipes his eyes.<br />
DREW<br />
You’ve always hated him and now<br />
he’s your boyfriend? I am confused.<br />
What are you up to?<br />
DRAKE<br />
He’s helping me get over all the<br />
pain Roberto caused. I think the<br />
gay gods sent him to me.<br />
Millie comes running into the room. She pushes Drew, who<br />
falls back against a chair and grabs Drake by his shirt.<br />
MILLIE<br />
What did you do to my brother?<br />
Hector comes running over.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Let him go.

He overdosed and is alive, but will<br />
be unconscious for at least 24<br />
hours.<br />
Jesus steps forward. Millie starts to cry.<br />
JESUS<br />
No one is to speak to him until I<br />
question him first.<br />
MILLIE<br />
You think he killed that guy? The<br />
killer is him.<br />
Millie points to Drake.<br />
Drake laughs.<br />
JESUS<br />
Stop this. Drake, where are you<br />
staying? You can’t stay at the<br />
townhouse. We are still searching<br />
it.<br />
DREW<br />
You can stay with me.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Thanks, but I will be at Hector’s<br />
place.<br />
Millie turns to Hector and slaps his face.<br />
MILLIE<br />
How could you betray your best<br />
friend with this whore.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Watch it, lady.<br />
Jesus steps in the middle of them and puts his arms up in the<br />
air.
37.<br />
JESUS<br />
Enough! Everyone needs to go home.<br />
I will have a guard on the door, so<br />

Me too. I want to be your little<br />

Yeah, he’s still in the shower. I<br />
will get him for you.<br />
Drew rolls his eyes as Hector leaves the room. Drew sits on<br />
the leather sofa. Drake comes out in an oversized bathrobe.<br />
DRAKE<br />
What’s going on?<br />
DREW<br />
I am worried about Roberto in the<br />
HOSPITAL and you staying in this<br />
place. It smells like a locker<br />
room.<br />
Drake sits next to Drew.<br />
DRAKE<br />
You have nothing to worry about.<br />
Anyway, I am moving in here.<br />
Drew falls back against the sofa in disbelief.<br />
DREW<br />
What are you up to? For months you<br />
waited for Roberto to come home and<br />
now you’re moving in with muscle<br />
boy.<br />
Drake stands and walks across the room.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I know it looks strange, but he has<br />
shown me that I need to move on and<br />
so now I am.<br />
DREW<br />
What about Roberto?<br />
Drake looks at a picture of Hector lifting weights.<br />
DRAKE<br />
What about him? He cheated on me<br />
and left me. It’s time to move on.<br />
Hector comes into the room in tight shorts and a tee shirt.<br />
He kisses Drake and then looks at Drew.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, did he tell you the good news?<br />

with yesterday?<br />
DRAKE<br />
Don’t worry, he’s Roberto’s best<br />
friend. I want you so bad, daddy.<br />
Drake gets on his knees and undoes Doctor Brock’s pants.<br />

Jesus and a police officer stand at the nurse’s station.<br />
Drake comes down the hall. He walks over to Jesus.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Did you speak to Roberto? Can I see<br />
him now?<br />
JESUS<br />
You’re under arrest for the murder<br />
of Bobby News. Anything you say can<br />
and will be held against you.<br />
Bonnie comes running down the hall.<br />
DRAKE<br />
This is a joke, right?<br />
Jesus points to the police officer.
40.<br />
Cuff him.<br />
JESUS<br />
The police officer takes out his cuffs and turns Drake<br />
around. He puts the cuffs on him.<br />
BONNIE<br />
What can I do to help?<br />
DRAKE<br />
Get me a lawyer.<br />
Jesus and the police officer lead Drake away. Doctor Brock<br />

hall.<br />
INT. WILTON MANORS POLICE STATION - DAY<br />
Drake sits in a gray room with one wrist cuffed to the table.<br />
Jesus comes in and stands over him.<br />
JESUS<br />
When did you last see Bobby News?<br />
Drake looks down at the table.<br />
DRAKE<br />
What’s this about and what did<br />
Roberto say?<br />
JEFFREY (45), tall thin in a brown suit with his hair combed<br />
to the side and wearing horn rimmed glasses, enters the room.<br />
Jesus turns to him.<br />
JESUS<br />
Who are you?<br />
Jeffrey walks over to Drake and puts his hand on Drake’s<br />
shoulder.<br />
JEFFREY<br />
I am his lawyer. What right do you<br />
have to hold my client?<br />
JESUS<br />
I have a witness who saw your<br />
client kill Bobby News. Your client<br />
then held the witness prisoner in<br />
his house, to keep him quiet.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Roberto told you that?
41.<br />
Jeffrey walks around to Jesus.<br />
JEFFREY<br />
So a known drug addict who’s been<br />
missing told you this?<br />
JESUS<br />
You’re talking about his exboyfriend?<br />
Jesus points to Drake and then puts his arm down.<br />
JEFFERY<br />
Yes, Roberto states he saw my<br />
client kill Mr. News and then he<br />
held him prisoner in his own home?<br />
Correct.<br />
JESUS<br />
Jeffrey laughs. He walks back over to Drake.<br />
JEFFREY<br />
You have no evidence. The search of<br />
the townhouse shows nothing. This<br />
witness is not credible.<br />

Thank you.<br />
JEFFREY<br />
It’s my job.<br />
Jesus enters the room.<br />
JESUS<br />
Don’t leave town. You’re still a<br />
suspect.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Roberto is lying. Why does he want<br />
to hurt me?<br />
Drake falls into Hector’s arms.<br />
JESUS<br />
Don’t worry about Roberto. He’s on<br />
his way to rehab to sober up.
42.<br />
HECTOR<br />
That’s good news, Bro.<br />
JEFFREY<br />
Call me if you need me.<br />
Jeffrey leaves. Jesus steps back and watches Hector hold<br />

Something’s just not right with<br />
their situation.<br />

You don’t want to do that.<br />
Drake puts the phone down.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Hector will be here any second.<br />
Roberto grabs Drake and pushes him against the wall.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
He’s at the gym and will be gone<br />
for hours.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Let me go.<br />
Drake tries to break free, but cannot.
43.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
How does it feel to be held against<br />
your will?<br />
Roberto lets Drake go. He sits on the leather sofa. Drake<br />
adjusts his tee shirt.<br />
Get out.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Roberto looks at Drake.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
How do you live with yourself?<br />
DRAKE<br />
What do you mean?<br />
ROBERTO<br />
You killed Bobby and then held me<br />
prisoner.<br />
Roberto stands up. He walks over to Drake.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I didn’t kill Bobby. He left after<br />
the fight.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Yeah, if that’s true, why chain me<br />
to the bed and feed me drugs?<br />
DRAKE<br />
You were going to leave me. I love<br />
you.<br />
Roberto grabs Drake and they start to kiss. Roberto flips<br />
Drake around. Drake holds the wall as Roberto pulls Drake’s<br />
pants down. Roberto slaps Drake’s bare ass.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Is this what you want?<br />
DRAKE<br />
Yes, I still love you, fuck me.<br />
Roberto slaps Drake’s ass again.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Fuck you! What game are you playing<br />
hiding here with Hector? You killed<br />
Bobby and held me prisoner. I will<br />
prove it.
44.<br />
Drake turns around and pulls his pants up.<br />
Get out.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Drake cries.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
You had someone help you. I know<br />
it. I will figure it out.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Get out. You humiliate me.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Now you know how I felt all those<br />
months when you had me chained to<br />
the bed.<br />

INT. HECTOR'S APARTMENT LIVING ROOM - DAY<br />
DRAKE<br />
Not now. I am not in the mood.<br />
Roberto was here.<br />

sniff.<br />
DREW<br />
Can’t you get that locker room<br />
smell out of this place?
45.<br />
Drew sits down.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Did you hear me? Roberto was here<br />
accusing me of killing Bobby and<br />
holding him prisoner.<br />
DREW<br />
Come on sweetie, we all know that<br />
this is from his drug haze. He’s<br />
just upset that you hooked up with<br />
his best friend.<br />
The front door opens. Drew jumps up. Hector comes in all<br />
sweaty. He removes his shirt.<br />
HECTOR<br />
I’ve got to take a shower, Bro.<br />
He kisses Drake’s cheek.<br />
DREW<br />
God, no wonder you can’t get the<br />
smell out.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Come scrub my back, Drake.<br />
Hector leaves the room. Drew goes over to Drake.<br />
DREW<br />
What are you, his slave? Come scrub<br />
my back?<br />
DRAKE<br />
You’d better go.<br />
Drake pushes Drew to the front door.<br />
DREW<br />
Sweetie, come on, you’re not that<br />

You like that, daddy?<br />
Doctor Brock smiles.<br />
BROCK<br />
More than you’ll ever know.<br />
Doctor Brock turns to Drake. He caresses his cheek.<br />
Drake laughs.<br />
BROCK (CONT’D)<br />
You’re not having relations with<br />
anyone else, are you?<br />
DRAKE<br />
Only you, daddy. You’re all the man<br />
I need.<br />
Drake goes to kiss Doctor Brock. Doctor Brock blocks him.<br />

No kissing on the lips. I am not<br />
gay.<br />

Whatever, daddy.<br />

I know you don’t like me.<br />
Drew crosses his legs.
47.<br />
DREW<br />
That’s an understatement.<br />
Roberto takes a drink of his coffee. He looks around and puts<br />
the cup down. Kenny stands behind the counter and watches.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Who was Drake seeing when he had me<br />
kidnapped?<br />
Drew shakes his head back and forth.<br />
DREW<br />
God, when are you going to give up<br />
this story? For your information,<br />
Drake cried his eyes out every<br />
night waiting for you to return.<br />
Roberto leans across the table.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Don’t you think it’s strange that I<br />
am back and he’s now with Hector?<br />
Roberto leans back in the chair.<br />
Drew stands up.<br />
DREW<br />
I have to agree. I don’t get it<br />
either.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
He’s hiding something. He’s using<br />
Hector to take the focus off of<br />
himself for killing Bobby and<br />
holding me prisoner.<br />
DREW<br />
Don’t you mean kidnapped in your<br />
own house? He’s my best friend. He<br />
would not do those things.<br />
Roberto smiles, looking up at Drew.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Don’t you think it’s strange that<br />
the whole time I was supposed to be<br />
gone, he never let anyone in the<br />
house?<br />
Drew sits back in the chair.
48.<br />
Drew stands.<br />
DREW<br />
You’re right. He would never let me<br />
in, when I would stop by.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
That’s because he had me upstairs.<br />
He had help. There had to be<br />
another guy all these months that<br />
helped him.<br />
DREW<br />
No. He saw no one. You’re wrong and<br />
you’re just trying to get some sick<br />
revenge on him.<br />

drink. He stands up and throws a few dollars on the table and<br />

YORGEN<br />
You invited someone to join our<br />
party, Bro?

HECTOR<br />
Go back in the bedroom. I will be<br />
there in a second.<br />
YORGEN<br />
Don’t make me wait too long, Bro.<br />
Yorgen leaves the room.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
I knew you couldn’t be faithful.<br />
Drake will kill that guy and you<br />
when he finds out.<br />
Hector puts his arm on Roberto’s shoulder.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, please don’t ruin this. I love<br />
Drake, but I also like some<br />
variety.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Hey, I won’t tell, but Drake is<br />
playing you. I almost fucked him<br />
right there, the other day.<br />
Roberto points to the wall.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, you’re lying.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
We’ve been friends a long time.<br />
You’re in danger with Drake.<br />
Hector turns around and walks to the bedroom door.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, join us tonight. It will be<br />
like old times.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Did Drake tell you anything about<br />
keeping me prisoner or another guy?<br />
Hector turns around.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, let this go. Move on. Drake<br />
has.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
You’re wrong. I could have had him<br />
here the other day. He’s using you.

YORGEN<br />
Dude, I was getting into it.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Did you find out anything about<br />
Drake at Hector’s place?
51.<br />
Yorgen smiles.<br />
YORGEN<br />
No, Bro. I could not find out<br />
anything.<br />
Roberto leans back against the sofa.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
How am I going to prove that he<br />
held me prisoner and killed Bobby.<br />
YORGEN<br />
Bro, take him back.<br />
Roberto leans forward.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
What? Take that crazy person back<br />
into my life which I am trying to<br />
re-build.<br />
YORGEN<br />
Make him believe you love him and<br />
forgive him. That’s the only way<br />
you will get the proof you need.<br />
Roberto stands up. He looks into the parking lot. He rubs his<br />
chin. Roberto turns to Yorgen.<br />
Roberto laughs.<br />
Yorgen stands up.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Do you think he would fall for it?<br />
YORGEN<br />
Bro, if he kept you locked up all<br />
that time, I think he will take you<br />
back in a flash.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
You may be right, but this would<br />
ruin my friendship with Hector.<br />
YORGEN<br />
Don’t worry about Hector. I can fix<br />
his broken heart.<br />
Roberto hugs Yorgen.

DRAKE<br />
Did he come to spread more lies<br />
about me?<br />
HECTOR<br />
He told me he tried to fuck you and<br />
that you wanted it, but he left you<br />
with your pants down, Bro.<br />
Drake stands up and looks at Hector.<br />
DRAKE<br />
He’s lying. He came over yelling<br />
and threatening me.<br />
Drake goes over to Hector. The two hug.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, are you just using me?<br />
Drake looks up at Hector. He caresses his cheek.<br />
DRAKE<br />
No. Don’t believe Roberto and his<br />
lies. He won’t be happy until I am<br />
alone or in jail.<br />
Hector runs his hands through Drake’s blond hair.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, I am so hard for you right<br />
now.<br />

BROCK (CONT’D)<br />
I’ll be out in a second, dear.<br />
ELLEN<br />
Are you OK? You’ve been in there a<br />
long time.<br />
Brock turns off the water and takes a white towel to dry off.<br />
He wraps the towel around his waist and opens the bathroom<br />
door. He picks up his cell phone. Ellen enters the bathroom<br />
and kisses Brock’s cheek.<br />
ELLEN (CONT’D)<br />
I am waiting for you. I thought we<br />
would try to make love tonight.<br />
BROCK<br />
Er. I just got a text. They need me<br />
at the HOSPITAL.<br />
ELLEN<br />
Again, we never get anytime<br />
together.<br />
Brock puts shaving cream on his face. He opens the cabinet,<br />
takes out a razor, and starts to shave.<br />
BROCK<br />
It’s a patient. She’s taken a turn<br />
for the worse.<br />
ELLEN<br />
I guess it’s the price I have to<br />
pay for being a doctor’s wife.<br />
Brock washes the shaving cream off of his face. He looks at<br />
his reflection as Ellen exits.<br />

I’ve been thinking about you all<br />
day.<br />

You’re being naughty, daddy.<br />

Before I got knocked out. Drake was<br />

He had to have had help. That’s the<br />

work.<br />
DREW<br />

Hector goes over to Drew and puts his sweaty arm around him.<br />

HECTOR<br />
Drake does not have to know, Bro.<br />
Let’s have a three-way.<br />
DREW<br />
I am not into muscle guys.<br />
Yorgen rolls his eyes.<br />
Hector laughs.<br />
YORGEN<br />
Maybe you need to get that stick up<br />
your ass removed, Bro.

Come on, Bro. I know you want this.<br />
Hector points to his body. He starts to kiss Drew’s neck.<br />

Do I need to call the police?<br />
ROBERTO<br />
No. These are for you, to say I’m<br />
sorry.<br />
Roberto hands the flowers to Drake.<br />
DRAKE<br />
My lawyer told me not to speak to<br />
you.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
So did mine, but...<br />
Drake puts the flowers down on his desk.<br />
DRAKE<br />
What are you up to Roberto? What<br />
trick are you playing?<br />
Roberto leans on the nurse’s station.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
I forgive you. I understand why you<br />
did what you did to me. I was a<br />
crappy boyfriend.<br />
Drake rolls his eyes.
58.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Why this sudden change of heart?<br />
You’ve been telling everyone I<br />
killed Bobby and held you prisoner.<br />
That’s why I have to work the<br />
graveyard shift.<br />
Drake walks around the nurse’s station and stands in front of<br />
Roberto.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
I’m sorry. But what you did to me<br />
was fucked up, but I understand why<br />
now.<br />
Drake puts his arms on his hips.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Are you recording this? Where’s<br />
your phone?<br />
Roberto takes his hand and pulls out his phone from his<br />
pocket. He places it on the nurse’s station.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
It’s not a trick. I want you home<br />
with me in our own bed. I want to<br />
fix this.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I am with Hector now.<br />
Roberto slams his hand down on the nurse’s station.<br />
Drake steps back.<br />
Roberto turns away.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
You don’t love Hector. You belong<br />
with me. It kills me to think of<br />
him holding you, making love to<br />
you.<br />
DRAKE<br />
We have a good thing going. He does<br />
not cheat on me like you did.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Bobby and the others were a<br />
mistake. You’re my true love and<br />
Hector is...
59.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Hector is what?<br />
Roberto turns back, looks at Drake, and caresses his cheek.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
He’s cheating on you with Yorgen.<br />
DRAKE<br />
No, you’re just trying to hurt me<br />
again. I saw you making out with<br />
Yorgen.<br />
Drake runs around in back of the nurse’s station.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Yes, just to find out if it was<br />
true. Come home, babe. Let me make<br />
it up to you. I want to hold you<br />
and talk all night.<br />
Roberto goes around the nurse’s station. He grabs Drake and<br />
kisses him. The two kiss and hug. Drake pushes Roberto off<br />
him.<br />
DRAKE<br />
How do I know this is not a trick?<br />
Roberto shakes his head.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
You know me better than that. I do<br />
love you. I want you back in our<br />
bed. Come home after work. I will<br />
prove it to you.<br />
Roberto walks away. Drake falls back in the chair at the<br />
nurse’s station.<br />
BUZZ BUZZ. Drake reaches in and takes out his cell phone.<br />
Meet me at the locker now! J, shows on the screen.<br />
Fuck!<br />

Business is slow.<br />
Jose walks over to Drake and strokes his cheek.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I can’t be seen here. The cops are<br />
watching me.<br />
JOSE<br />
I need money.<br />
Jose takes Drake’s hat off. He runs his hands through Drake’s<br />
hair.<br />
DRAKE<br />
So, go strip or something to make<br />
it.<br />
JOSE<br />
I know what you did to Roberto. I<br />
helped you move him.<br />
Drake walks across the dark room.<br />
DRAKE<br />
So, who’s going to believe a<br />
hustler?<br />
Jose walks over and hugs Drake from behind.<br />
JOSE<br />
I have pictures. I bet Roberto<br />
would pay me big money to prove you<br />
held him prisoner.<br />
Drake breaks free. He turns and looks at Jose.<br />
DRAKE<br />
You wouldn’t.<br />
Jose smiles and rubs his chin.<br />
JOSE<br />
I kept all that equipment you had<br />
in the room as an insurance policy.<br />
Jose grabs Drake by the back of the neck.<br />
JOSE (CONT’D)<br />
With the pictures and equipment as<br />
evidence, you’ll be put in jail. A<br />
guy like you won’t last a week in<br />
there.
61.<br />
Jose lets Drake go.<br />
DRAKE<br />
If I give you money, I want<br />
everything back.<br />
JOSE<br />
I’ll give it all back to you, popi.<br />
Drake goes over to the bed. He sits on it.<br />
How much?<br />
DRAKE<br />
Jose sits next to Drake.<br />
JOSE<br />
$50,000. I am planning a little<br />
trip.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I don’t have that much money.<br />
Jose pulls the back of Drake’s hair.<br />
JOSE<br />
You’d better get it or you’ll be<br />
going on a trip as well.<br />
Jose lets go of Drake’s hair.<br />
DRAKE<br />
When do you want it?<br />
JOSE<br />
In a week or I’ll go to the police.<br />
Jose grabs Drake and pushes him down on the bed. He kisses<br />
Drake. Drake pushes Jose off of him.<br />
JOSE (CONT’D)<br />
You used to come here paying me to<br />
fuck you. This one is on the house.<br />

DRAKE (CONT’D)<br />
Well, what do you know?<br />
Drew looks up at Drake.
63.<br />
DREW<br />
I went to your place. Hector and<br />
Yorgen were there in their<br />
underwear.<br />
Drake slams his hand down.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Damn it! I need money. I need to<br />
leave this place.<br />
DREW<br />
You can’t leave. You’re a suspect<br />
in Bobby’s murder.<br />
Drake leans back in the chair.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Everything is going to shit.<br />
Hector, Roberto, and this<br />
investigation. My life is fucked<br />
up.<br />
Kenny stands behind the counter shaking his head.<br />
Drake stands up.<br />
Drake walks away.<br />
DREW<br />
You can stay with me if you need<br />
to.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I need to figure it out. I need<br />
some sleep before I make my next<br />
move.<br />
But....<br />

Roberto kisses Drake. Drake tries to push him away.<br />
DRAKE<br />
You really want me back after<br />
everything I did to you?<br />
Roberto caresses Drake’s cheek.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Yes, popi. I understand you did it<br />
because you loved me and I hurt<br />
you.<br />
DRAKE<br />
You’ve got to tell the police I<br />
didn’t kill Bobby or keep you<br />
prisoner.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Anything. I just want you so bad.<br />
Roberto grabs Drake’s hair and pulls him into the bedroom.<br />

Roberto’s neck.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Pack up your stuff and come home<br />
with me.<br />
Drake looks at the ceiling.<br />
DRAKE<br />
What about Hector?<br />
Roberto turns on his side and runs his hand through Drake’s<br />
hair.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
I can’t stand thinking of him<br />
making love to you. I am the only<br />
man you’ve ever needed. Come home.<br />
The bedroom door opens and Hector comes in. He drops his gym<br />
bag.<br />
HECTOR<br />
What the fuck, Bro?
65.<br />
Drake and Roberto get out of bed.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Don’t act so shocked. You’ve been<br />
cheating on me with Yorgen.<br />
Hector walks over to Drake and punches him in his nose. Drake<br />
falls to the floor. He holds his nose as it bleeds. Roberto<br />
helps him up.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
What the fuck? You hurt him.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, he’s crazy. Just get out and,<br />
by the way, I fucked your little<br />
friend too.<br />
Who?<br />
DRAKE<br />
Hector smiles.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Drew! Me and Yorgen had a three-way<br />
with him.<br />
Roberto puts his arm around Drake.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Come on. I am taking you to the<br />
HOSPITAL.<br />

You’re just as crazy as he is to<br />
take him back, Bro.<br />

will take some time to heal.
66.<br />
Brock looks around.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I need to watch what I am doing.<br />
BROCK<br />
What’s going on and why is your ex<br />
with you?<br />
DRAKE<br />
He’s just helping me right now.<br />
Brock caresses Drake’s cheek.<br />
BROCK<br />
Me, you, and nobody else. Remember?<br />
DRAKE<br />
Don’t worry, daddy. This boy only<br />
wants you.<br />
BUZZ BUZZ. Drake looks at his cell phone. He almost drops it.<br />
A picture of Roberto chained to the bed with the caption,<br />
“Don’t forget my money”, pops up on the screen.<br />
Roberto walks in.<br />
Brock smiles.<br />
BROCK<br />
Are you ok? You just got pale.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Can we meet later? I need your<br />
help.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Is he going to live?<br />
BROCK<br />
He’ll be fine in a few days. He<br />
just needs to rest.<br />
Roberto reaches for Drake’s hand. Drake pulls his hand away.<br />
Brock notices this.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Come, let’s get you home.<br />

ok with you.<br />
Roberto moves closer to Drake.<br />
Drake smiles.<br />
Roberto stands up.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
This is your home. Of course it is.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Did you tell the police yet?<br />
ROBERTO<br />
I will tomorrow. You need your<br />
rest.<br />
DRAKE<br />
You really mean that you want me<br />
back after everything I’ve done?<br />
Roberto goes over to Drake and caresses his cheek.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
You are going to get just what you<br />
deserve.<br />

does not open. Roberto throws the phone across the room.<br />
Drake enters the room.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I knew this wasn’t real.
68.<br />
Roberto stands up.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
I was just looking for a number on<br />
your phone.<br />
Drake walks over and picks his phone up.<br />
DRAKE<br />
No, you are trying to find proof.<br />
Roberto walks over to Drake and grabs him.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
No, no, I really want you back.<br />
Drake pushes Roberto away.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Give it up. Your being nice to me<br />
and inviting me home again is just<br />
a way to get close to me to find<br />
some proof for that detective.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Ok, yes. You make me sick. You held<br />
me captive for months. I want you<br />
to pay for everything you did.<br />
Drake slaps Roberto. Roberto slaps Drake.<br />
Roberto laughs.<br />
DRAKE<br />
You ruined what me and Hector had.<br />
How could the gay gods turn on me.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
I saved him from you. You don’t<br />
love him or even like him for that<br />
matter. If you did, you would not<br />
have gotten on your knees so fast<br />
when I came over.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Don’t flatter yourself.<br />
Roberto sits in a chair.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Get out. I give up.
69.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Give up? I did nothing wrong. You<br />
were the man whore when we were<br />
together.<br />
Roberto stands up and gets in Drake’s face.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
Maybe if you were able to satisfy<br />
me, I wouldn’t have had to find<br />
another man to do the job.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Fuck you. I am out of here.<br />
ROBERTO<br />
You are going to slip and the truth<br />
will come out about what you did to<br />
me and Bobby.<br />
Drake heads to the door. He turns and looks at Roberto.<br />
DRAKE<br />
If I was able to kill someone, I’d<br />
kill you now!<br />
Drake leaves the room.<br />

window upstairs. Johnny comes out of his house.<br />
JOHNNY<br />
Lover’s fight?<br />
DRAKE<br />
Mind your own business.<br />
JOHNNY<br />
Maybe I should knock on the door<br />
and help out Roberto. It wouldn’t<br />
be the first time.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I hate you.<br />
Drake runs down the street towards Wilton Drive.

Jose grabs Drake by the neck.<br />
JOSE<br />
You’d better or you will be living<br />
inside a cell.<br />
DRAKE<br />
You’re hurting me.<br />
Jose releases Drake. He gets in his face.<br />
JOSE<br />
Get me the money or I will go to<br />
Roberto and the police.<br />
Drake starts to sweat.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Give me some more time. That’s a<br />
lot of money.<br />
Jose pushes Drake against the wall again.<br />
JOSE<br />
I need it now. I have to get out of<br />
this place. I am sick of fucking<br />
guys like you for a quick buck.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I thought you liked the Locker<br />
Room.<br />
Jose puts his finger in Drake’s face.
71.<br />
JOSE<br />
Just get me the money, you little<br />
bitch, or you will soon be a prison<br />
bitch.<br />
Jose grabs Drake and throws him out of the alley and onto to<br />
Wilton Drive.<br />
EXT. WILTON DRIVE - NIGHT<br />
Drake flies out of the alley and bumps into Hector and Drew.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Bro, watch where you’re going.<br />
Drew looks at Drake and can tell something is wrong.<br />
DREW<br />
Honey, are you alright? Are you<br />
with Roberto?<br />
DRAKE<br />
I am fine. So it’s true that you<br />
two are together?<br />
Drake points at the both of them.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Yeah, we are together. You got a<br />
problem with that, Bro?<br />
DRAKE<br />
I thought you were my best friend?<br />
Drew looks down at the street.<br />
DREW<br />
It just happened. Anyway you’re<br />
back with Roberto now, so it all<br />
worked out right.<br />
Hector takes Drew’s hand.<br />
HECTOR<br />
Come on, Yorgen’s waiting for us at<br />
Java Boys.<br />
Hector drags Drew away.<br />
DREW<br />
I’ll call you tomorrow.<br />

Yeah, it all worked out for<br />
everyone else but me.<br />

alongside. Jesus studies them. NED (35), enters in a police<br />
uniform. He looks at the board as well.<br />
NED<br />
Are you any closer to solving this,<br />
boss?<br />
JESUS<br />
The DNA on the body matches Drake<br />
and Roberto.<br />
Ned looks at Roberto and Drake’s pictures.<br />
NED<br />
Did you ever think these two were<br />
in on it together?<br />
Jesus leans on his desk.<br />
How so?<br />
JESUS<br />
Ned points to Drake’s picture.<br />
NED<br />
Roberto kills Bobby. Drake hides<br />
Roberto for months and when it all<br />
comes out, Roberto fakes the<br />
kidnapping story.<br />
Jesus shakes his head no. He walks over to the board.<br />
JESUS<br />
No, I think Drake killed Bobby and<br />
Roberto helped him hide the body<br />
and they both came up with this<br />
kidnapping to throw us off.<br />
NED<br />
Could be. Should we bring them in?<br />
Jesus walks over to his chair. He sits down.
73.<br />
JESUS<br />
No, I think it’s time we arrest<br />
them. One of them will break then.<br />
KAREN (22), a thin woman enters the room.<br />
KAREN<br />
Sorry to disturb you sir, but<br />
someone is here who claims to have<br />
information about the Bobby News<br />

Bring the someone in.<br />

That was good.<br />
Brock kisses the top of Drake’s head.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I need your help.<br />
Brock plays with Drake’s hair.<br />
BROCK<br />
More medication for your mother?
74.<br />
Brock sits up.<br />
DRAKE<br />
I need money.<br />
BROCK<br />
Why? You make a good living at the<br />
HOSPITAL.<br />
Drake strokes Brock’s back.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Daddy, I am in trouble. Please,<br />
you’re the only one who has this<br />
kind of cash.<br />
Brock stands up and picks up his underwear and puts it on.<br />
How much?<br />
$65,000.<br />
BROCK<br />
DRAKE<br />
Brock sits on the bed.<br />
BROCK<br />
I can’t. That’s too much. Mrs.<br />
Brock will know something is up.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Just make something up. You<br />
wouldn’t want her to find out about<br />
us.<br />
Brock walks around the room. He starts to get dressed.<br />
BROCK<br />
You would tell her?<br />
DRAKE<br />
I don’t want to, but I will be in a<br />
lot of trouble if I don’t get this<br />
money.<br />
Brock sits on the bed as he puts his shoes on.<br />
BROCK<br />
I will bring it to you tomorrow<br />
night.<br />

JOSE<br />
I’ve got information that you need<br />
for the Bobby and Roberto case.<br />
Jesus goes over to his desk and sits in the chair.<br />
Jesus laughs.<br />
Jose smiles.<br />
JESUS<br />
Tell me about this information.<br />
JOSE<br />

If this so called information is<br />
worth something, I may make a deal.<br />

Brock comes in with two cups of coffee. He hands one to<br />
Drake.<br />
DRAKE<br />
You got it?<br />
BROCK<br />
Yes, the money is in my pocket.<br />
Drake drinks the coffee. Brock puts his down on the night<br />
stand.<br />
Drake stumbles.<br />
DRAKE<br />
My worries are over. Just give me<br />
the money. I have to do something<br />
first. When I get back, be waiting<br />
in the shower, daddy.<br />
BROCK<br />
Before I give it to you, what’s the<br />
money for?<br />
DRAKE<br />
I don’t feel so good.<br />
Drake falls on the bed. He can’t move.<br />
DRAKE (CONT’D)<br />
What’s wrong with me? I can’t get<br />
up.<br />
Brock walks over to the dresser and takes out a vile of<br />
medication and a syringe.<br />
BROCK<br />
I thought you were different than<br />
the others.
77.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Different? What others?<br />
Brock looks at Drake on the bed.<br />
BROCK<br />
All you queer boys want money from<br />
me. I am not a fucking ATM.<br />
DRAKE<br />
No daddy, I love you. What have you<br />
done to me?<br />
Brock sits on the bed holding a needle.<br />
BROCK<br />
I gave you some drug that makes you<br />
paralyzed. You don’t love me. You<br />
used me, just like Bobby.<br />
Bobby?<br />
DRAKE<br />
Brock starts to sweat.<br />
BROCK<br />
Bobby! He wanted money too. He was<br />
going to tell Mrs. Brock about me<br />
and him.<br />
Drake tries to move, but can’t.<br />
Brock stands up.<br />
DRAKE<br />
You were having an affair with<br />
Bobby before me?<br />
BROCK<br />
Yes, I loved him like I love you,<br />
but then he asked me for money and<br />
blackmailed me, just like you.<br />
Drake has fear in his eyes.<br />
DRAKE<br />
So you killed him?<br />
BROCK<br />
It was an accident.
78.<br />

BROCK<br />
What happened?<br />
BOBBY<br />
I was mugged. I need money. I need<br />
to get out of this town.<br />
BROCK<br />
I can put you in a hotel or take<br />
you to the HOSPITAL.<br />
Bobby caresses Brock’s cheek.<br />
BOBBY<br />
No, I need money tonight.<br />
BROCK<br />
I can’t help you. Mrs. Brock<br />
watches the bank account.<br />
BOBBY<br />
You’d better find a way, or I will<br />
tell your wife about us.<br />
Brock falls against the car.<br />
Bobby laughs.<br />
Bobby turns away.<br />
BROCK<br />
Please, if you love me, you<br />
wouldn’t.<br />
BOBBY<br />
Love you? Some middle aged fool who<br />
chases boys half his age? I deserve<br />
the money for just having to be<br />
fucked by you.<br />
BROCK<br />
You were using me this whole time?<br />
BOBBY<br />
Wake up old man. I need my pay out<br />
or Mrs. Brock will know how much<br />
you like your dick sucked.
79.<br />

Brock sits by Drake on the bed.<br />
BROCK<br />
I buried him after that.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Then you met me?<br />
BROCK<br />
But this time I will overdose you.<br />
Everyone will think you did it<br />
because you couldn’t live with the<br />
guilt of killing Bobby.<br />
DRAKE<br />
Please, no. I won’t tell.<br />
Brock injects Drake. He stands and looks at Drake.<br />
Drake passes out.<br />
BROCK<br />
No, you can’t be trusted. You are<br />
just a dirty little whore like<br />
Bobby.<br />
DRAKE<br />
No, please. I am sorry.<br />
BROCK<br />
It won’t be long now. I hope you<br />

it and for trying to kill you as<br />
well.<br />
DRAKE<br />
You see. I was innocent. Now I can<br />
get my life back.<br />
Jesus walks over to Drake’s bed.<br />
JESUS<br />
Not so fast. You see, your friend<br />
Jose gave us the proof we need to<br />
charge you with kidnapping Roberto.<br />

No, he’s lying.<br />
