A Barbie dream house is on the table. A Ken doll and G.I Joe
doll stand in the doorway kissing.
DRAKE V.O
I always wanted to be married.
Upstairs in the dream house, G.I Joe and Ken sit together in
the dream bathtub.
DRAKE V.O (CONT’D)
The only problem back then was men
could only marry women.
Barbie sits with all her bags packed outside the dream house.
DRAKE V.O (CONT’D)
But now that the gay gods made it
so gays can get married, I couldn’t
be happier.
G.I Joe and Ken are under the sheets of the dream bed.
DRAKE V.O (CONT’D)
You see, after all my bad
relationships, I found the man of
my dreams.
G.I Joe and Ken drive off in the pink Corvette with a Just

This is the story of my happily
ever after.
INT. WILTON MANORS GENERAL HOSPITAL STORAGE ROOM - DAY
DOCTOR BROCK (45), stands tall and thin, with jet black hair
combed back and his Brooks Brothers shirt unbuttoned. His
white briefs and pants are down by his ankles.
BROCK
Oh god, oh god I’m _ _ _ _ _ _!
DRAKE (25), is on his knees in his blue scrubs. Dr. Brock’s
hands are on his head, messing up his blond hair. Drake pulls
back and wipes his mouth, as he stands up.
DRAKE
You sure seemed into it this time.
Drake leans in to kiss Dr. Brock. Dr. Brock pulls away.
2.
BROCK
I am not gay.
Dr. Brock pulls up his pants and starts to button his shirt.
DRAKE
Yeah sure, that’s not what your
cock was saying.
Dr. Brock reaches into his pocket and gives Drake a
prescription.
BROCK
Here’s what you asked me for, but
this is pretty strong stuff.
Drake takes it and puts it in his pocket. Drake smiles.
DRAKE
I know, it’s for my mother to help
her with her pain.
Dr. Brock puts his hand on Drake’s shoulder.
BUZZ
BROCK
My wife’s going away this weekend
so maybe we could hook up again.
DRAKE
I thought you weren’t gay?
Dr. Brock reaches into his pocket and looks at his cell
phone.
Dr. Brock exits.
BROCK
Damn, I am needed in the ER.
INT. WILTON MANORS GENERAL HOSPITAL NURSE'S STATION - DAY
BONNIE (50), overweight with bad skin wears pink scrubs and
sits reading a magazine. Drake sits in the chair next to her.
Bonnie puts down her magazine.
BONNIE
You boys shouldn’t shit where you
eat.
Drake rolls his eyes.
3.
Drake stands up.
Drake sits down.
DRAKE
I don’t know what you are talking
about.
BONNIE
Dr. Brock. You must be using him
since your boyfriend left you at
the altar.
DRAKE
At least I don’t force those young
nursing students to fuck me for a
good grade.
BONNIE
If I tell HR about you and Dr.
Brock, they will fire your skinny
ass.
DRAKE
If you do that, then I will tell
them about the male nursing student
who couldn’t even administer
medications, that you passed based
on his bedroom skills.
BONNIE
I guess we need to both be quiet.
DRAKE
Yeah, mind your own business.
INT. JAVA BOYS - NIGHT
Drake walks into Java Boys and sits at a table. DREW (24),
tall and thin, with short blond hair sits at the table.
DREW
You look like shit.
Drake rolls his eyes.
DRAKE
Thanks. I am working extra shifts
to cover the mortgage.
4.
DREW
Honey, that place is not even in
your name. Just get a place you can
afford.
KENNY (26), walks over carrying a tray with two white coffee
cups. Kenny places the cups down in front of Drake and Drew.
DRAKE
He might come home. I want to be
there when he does.
DREW
Wake up. It’s been six months. He’s
not coming back.
Drake takes a drink from his coffee. He sees HECTOR (28), a
tall, muscular, Cuban man with spiked black hair. Drake looks
at his coffee cup. Hector walks over to the table wearing his
gym outfit.
Drew eyes Hector.
HECTOR
Bro, have you heard anything?
DREW
Leave him alone. Hasn’t your friend
done enough.
HECTOR
Bro, don’t blame Roberto. He’s an
addict. He could be lying dead in a
ditch. Don’t you care, Bro?
Drew picks up his coffee cup and takes a drink. Drake looks
at Hector.
DRAKE
I am worried, but I know he ran off
with that twink Bobby News and left
me days before the wedding.
HECTOR
Bro, you put too much pressure on
him.
Drew stands up. Kenny comes running over.
KENNY
I just heard they found a body at
that new construction site.
Drew sits back down.
5.
DRAKE
Oh my god, it could be Roberto.
I’ve got to go home.
Drake gets up and exits.
HECTOR
Bro, he pushed Roberto too far.
Drew waves Hector away.
DREW
Go away. Be gone. Isn’t there a gym
calling your name?
Hector sits in Drake’s chair.
Drew laughs.
HECTOR
You want me, Bro?
DREW
In your dreams, Bro. I don’t like
muscle boys.
Drew gets up. He looks at Hector.
DREW (CONT’D)
I will never forgive your best
friend for hurting Drake.
HECTOR
Bro, there are always two sides to
every story.
INT. THE LOCKER ROOM - NIGHT

with towels wrapped around their waists. Drake enters a room
and removes his towel.
JOSE (22), with dark skin and short black hair lay naked on a
bed. He has a gold cross around his neck. Drake climbs on top
of him.
Drake smiles.
JOSE
You’ve got my money, dude?
DRAKE
Yeah, I’ve got it.
6.
JOSE
You only want this, because I look
like him.
DRAKE
Shut up. I pay you for sex, not to
be my fucking psychologist.
Jose grabs Drake by his hair. They kiss as Jose pushes
Drake’s head down to his penis.
INT. DRAKE'S TOWNHOUSE KITCHEN - DAY
Drake fixes a tray of oatmeal. He smiles and pours coffee in
a cup and adds three sugars. Drake takes the tray and goes
upstairs.
INT. DRAKE'S TOWNHOUSE GUEST ROOM - DAY
Drake unlocks the guest room door and walks into the room
holding the tray. The walls are covered with sound proof
materials and pictures of him and Roberto.
DRAKE
Get up, honey. It’s time to eat.
ROBERTO (25), lays on a bed in his underwear with his right
leg chained to the metal frame. Medical equipment is in the
room and the blinds are shut. Drake puts the tray down near
the bed. He sits on the bed and looks at Roberto.
DRAKE (CONT’D)
Come on. You have to eat or I will
have to insert that tube again.
ROBERTO
Let me go.
Drake laughs as he pulls a syringe out of his pocket and a
small vile of medication. Drake inserts the syringe into the
bottle and fills up the syringe. Roberto tries to move, but
is too weak. Drake injects Roberto with the drug.
DRAKE
Let you go? You’re back on drugs.
You need me. I love you.
ROBERTO
I hate you. Please, please, if you
love me let me go.
Drake looks at Roberto.
7.
KNOCK, KNOCK.
DRAKE
You need your sponge bath and a
shave today. Tonight we can watch a
movie together.
Drake leaves the room and locks the door.
EXT. DRAKE'S TOWNHOUSE FRONT DOOR - DAY
MILLIE (33), a short, skinny Cuban woman stands knocking at
the door.
The front door flies open. Drake rolls his eyes. Millie tries
to go inside but Drake stops her.
MILLIE
Let me in.
DRAKE
What brings you up from Miami?
MILLIE
My brother. This is his house.
DRAKE
He hasn’t been here for six months.
Millie tries to get inside again, but Drake blocks her.
MILLIE
No, my brother would not disappear.
He missed our mother’s birthday and
there was no card or even a phone
call. I know you did something to
him.
Drake puts his hand on his chest.
DRAKE
Your brother left me for some young
twink.
MILLIE
I want you out of his house. It’s
his, not yours.
DRAKE
Go home. You’re not welcome here.
Drake slams the door. Millie pounds on the door.
8.
MILLIE
Let me in.
Drake opens the door.
DRAKE
Listen bitch! I’ve been keeping
this place afloat. Leave now, or I
will call the police.
Drake slams the door again.
INT. DRAKE'S TOWNHOUSE GUEST ROOM - DAY
Drake washes Roberto’s chest. He runs his hands down to his
briefs.
ROBERTO
No, don’t.
Drake shakes his head back and forth.
Drake jumps up.
DRAKE
You don’t have a say. You will see
that you love me and then we will
get married.
ROBERTO
You’re crazy.
DRAKE
Be nice lover, or I will leave you
in your pee and shit for days.
INT. WILTON MANORS GENERAL HOSPITAL NURSE'S STATION - DAY
Drake sits reading a magazine. JESUS (30), a Cuban man in a
black suit, walks up to the desk. Drake looks up and smiles.
DRAKE
Can I help you?
JESUS
Yes, I was told I could find you
here.
Drake stands up. Bonnie walks into the nurse’s station and
watches.
9.
DRAKE
What can I do for you?
JESUS
I am looking for your boyfriend,
Roberto.
Bonnie lets out a laugh. Drake turns to her and then back to
Jesus.
Why?
DRAKE
JESUS
I am a detective working on a case.
Can you tell me where I can find
Roberto? I’ve been to your house...
DRAKE
My house, what’s this about?
Roberto’s not there.
Drake sits down. Bonnie stands behind the chair.
JESUS
I need to talk to him.
BONNIE
He left town about six months ago.
Drake looks at Bonnie.
JESUS
Is this true, Drake?
Drake looks down at the floor and then looks at Jesus.
DRAKE
Yes, he ran off with some guy.
Jesus leans on the nurse’s station.
JESUS
Was the guy’s name Bobby News?
Sweat pours from Drake’s forehead.
DRAKE
Yeah, that’s the man whore’s name.
JESUS
Could we talk after your shift,
maybe at your house?
10.
Jesus steps back.
DRAKE
No, no I’ll come by the station.
JESUS
You do that, and if you happen to
hear from Roberto, please contact
me.
Jesus hands Drake his card. Drake takes it and puts it in his
pocket. Jesus exits.
Drake stands up.
BONNIE
What was that all about?
DRAKE
I don’t want to know.
BONNIE
Do you think Roberto and Bobby are
in some kind of trouble?
Drake walks out of the nurse’s station.
DRAKE
I don’t care about whatever trouble
those two get into.
INT. WILTON MANORS GENERAL HOSPITAL STORAGE ROOM - DAY
Dr. Brock pulls up his pants. Drake stands up. Dr. Brock
hands him a prescription.
DRAKE
You were really into it.
BROCK
You’re not a drug addict, right?
DRAKE
No, it’s for my mother. She’s
really ill.
BROCK
This is strong stuff.
Brock points to the prescription.
11.
Brock smiles.
DRAKE
Believe me, I don’t use drugs.
You’re all the drug I need.
INT. OUT OF THE CLOSET DRUGSTORE - NIGHT
Drake stands waiting at the counter. JOHNNY (25), with a thin
build and short, black hair is in a sleeveless shirt, showing
that both his arms and neck are heavily tattooed.
JOHNNY
Saw a cop by your place today. He
asked me about Roberto.
DRAKE
Yeah, yeah, mind your business.
Johnny leans on the counter.
Johnny smiles.
JOHNNY
I told him you ran Roberto out of
town.
DRAKE
You little bitch.
JOHNNY
A friend tells me you’ve been
paying for it at The Locker Room.
Drake looks around and then puts his finger in Johnny’s face.
DRAKE
Listen, you little whore, I don’t
pay for it. Just because that’s how
you earn your keep, doesn’t mean I
do.
Johnny grabs Drake’s finger and licks it. Drake pulls his
finger away and wipes it on his scrubs.
Johnny exits.
JOHNNY
Next time you’re looking, come find
me, I will give you a discount.
DONALD (25), with thin blond hair comes out holding a white
bag. He hands the bag to Drake.
12.
DONALD
Sorry it took so long. We don’t
stock such hard stuff.
Drake pays for the drug and leaves.
EXT. JAVA BOYS - NIGHT
Drake sits drinking coffee. Hector walks in and sits at his
table.
HECTOR
Bro, did that detective find you?
Drake puts his coffee cup down.
DRAKE
Yes. What’s Roberto’s sister up to
now.
HECTOR
It’s not Millie. Don’t you know?
DRAKE
Know what?
Drew comes in and runs over to the table.
Drake stands up.
DREW
Have you heard honey? Are you OK?
DRAKE
What in the gay gods is going on?
HECTOR
Bro, that dead body is...
Drew puts his hand on Drake’s shoulder.
Hector stands up.
DREW
It’s Bobby News. He’s dead,
murdered, killed sweetie.
HECTOR
I wanted to tell him, Bro.
Drake falls back in his chair.
13.
DRAKE
That little whore is dead?
DREW
Yes sweetie. Are you OK?
Hector sits back down.
HECTOR
Bro, you shouldn’t talk ill of the
dead.
Drew looks at Hector.
INT. DRAKE'S TOWNHOUSE GUEST ROOM - NIGHT
Drake hooks up an IV to Roberto. He then takes a syringe and
injects the drug he bought from the drug store. Roberto lays
in the bed in a drug induced haze.
DRAKE
Damn, your little whore is dead.
Now the police are sniffing around.
Drake walks over to the window, then to Roberto’s bed, and
back to the window again.
DRAKE (CONT’D)
What are we going to do? Your
sister is bad enough, now the
police.
Roberto, covered in sweat, turns and looks at Drake.
ROBERTO
You, you killed him?
Drake walks over to the bed.
DRAKE
Me? I could not kill. I am a lover.
ROBERTO
You’re killing me.
Drake sits on the bed. He runs his hand though Roberto’s
thick hair.
DRAKE
Oh baby, if I wanted you dead, I
would have done it months ago when
I caught you fucking Bobby in our
bed.
14.
Drake makes a fist and pulls Roberto’s hair. Roberto groans.
ROBERTO
More drugs just make me sleep.
DRAKE
Don’t be silly. I wouldn’t want to
overdose you.
Drake lets Roberto’s hair go. He stands up.
ROBERTO
Did he suffer?
Drake looks down at Roberto.
DRAKE
Did who suffer?
ROBERTO
Bobby. Did you make him suffer that
night you caught us?
Drake turns off the light and leaves the room.
EXT. DRAKE'S TOWNHOUSE DRIVEWAY - DAY
Drake walks over to his car. A green car pulls out and Millie
comes running over to Drake. She grabs him and pushes him
against the car.
DRAKE
I don’t have time for this. I am
late for my shift.
Millie grabs Drake’s scrub top holding him.
MILLIE
Just tell me you killed that guy
and my brother.
DRAKE
Get off of me you crazy bitch.
Drake tries to get away from Millie, but she keeps him pinned
up against the car.
MILLIE
They are searching for my brother’s
body. I knew you were twisted.
Drake pushes hard and Millie falls back.
15.
DRAKE
I didn’t kill anyone. Your brother
ran out on me.
MILLIE
We shall see. I told that police
detective, Jesus, all about you.
Millie walks over to her car. She gets in and speeds away.

Looks like you have a shit storm on
your doorstep.
Fuck you!

INT. WILTON MANORS POLICE STATION - DAY
Detective Jesus sits at his desk. Hector sits in a chair in
his gym clothes.
JESUS
When was the last time you saw
Roberto?
HECTOR
Bro, that day at the gym. He told
me he was going to end it with
Drake.
Jesus leans in across his desk.
JESUS
Why? They were getting married in a
few days.
Hector looks down at the floor, then back up, and runs his
hands through his hair.
HECTOR
Bro, Roberto told me Drake had
become too needy. He couldn’t
breathe.
JESUS
So he was going to break off the
engagement? Did he mention Bobby or
anything about leaving town?
16.
Hector leans back in the chair.
Jesus stands up.
HECTOR
Bro, it makes no sense. Bobby was a
trick for Roberto. He wouldn’t
leave everything behind. That is
not like Roberto.
JESUS
Well, if you hear from Roberto or
if you remember anything, contact
me.
Millie burst into the office.
Hector stands up.
MILLIE
Did you arrest Drake yet?
HECTOR
Arrest him for what?
MILLIE
For killing that guy and Roberto.
HECTOR
Bro, Roberto’s dead?
Jesus puts his hands on his hips.
JESUS
Roberto is not dead and no one has
been arrested. Please stop the
drama.
MILLIE
I am telling you. He’s crazy. That
Drake killed that guy and my
brother.
INT. WILTON MANORS GENERAL HOSPITAL STORAGE ROOM - DAY
Drake undoes Brock’s shirt as he kisses his neck.

Is this what you want, daddy?

Yes, be daddy's good boy.
The storeroom door flies open. Bonnie comes in. Brock hides
behind some boxes.
BONNIE
That detective wants to see you.
He’s at the nurse’s station.
Drake walks past Bonnie.
DRAKE
You’re such a bitch.
Drake leaves the room.
Bonnie smiles.
BONNIE
Oh! Doctor Brock, the patient in
room 369 wants to see you.
BROCK
I’ll be right there. Just getting
some supplies.
BONNIE
Whatever you say Doctor Brock.
INT. WILTON MANORS GENERAL HOSPITAL NURSE'S STATION - DAY
Drake walks towards the nurse’s station. He adjusts his
scrubs and fixes his hair. He puts a fake smile on his face.
DRAKE
What can I do for you detective?
JESUS
Can I come by your house? I want to
see Roberto’s credit card
statements.
Drake leans against the nurse’s station. Brock rushes by him.
Jesus smiles.
DRAKE
I think you want to get to know me
better, detective.
18.
Drakes stands up.
JESUS
I am married, and I love him very
much.
DRAKE
You’re one of the lucky ones.
JESUS
So can I come by later?
DRAKE
No. The place is a mess. Since
Roberto left, it’s looked like a
scene from Hoarders.
Jesus moves closer to Drake. Bonnie watches from down the
hall.
JESUS
This isn’t a joke. We are talking
about murder and your ex could be
involved.
Drake moves away and he starts to sweat.
DRAKE
I am off tomorrow. How about I
bring all that stuff to you?
JESUS
I need it first thing. If not, I
will be coming over. I already
spoke to Hector.
Drake wipes his forehead with his hand.
DRAKE
No problem detective. I will be
there.
Jesus walks away. Bonnie comes running over.
BONNIE
You better get a lawyer.
DRAKE
No. What for?
BONNIE
Sounds like they suspect Roberto
killed that guy.
19.
Drake walks around the nurse’s station and sits in a chair.
He puts his hands behind his head.
DRAKE
You may be right. Roberto did have
a violent temper.
Bonnie shakes her head with a smile.
INT. HECTOR'S APARTMENT FRONT DOOR - NIGHT
Hector opens the door in a white towel and his body is still
wet. Drake walks in and Hector closes the door.
INT. HECTOR'S APARTMENT LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
Drake sits on the black leather sofa. Hector scratches his
head.
Hector smiles.
HECTOR
What do you want, Bro? I am heading
out to the Floppy Cock.
DRAKE
What did you tell that detective?
HECTOR
What are you hiding, Bro?
Drake gets up, walks over to Hector, and caresses his
muscular chest.
HECTOR (CONT’D)
You’ve never been into me before,
Bro.
DRAKE
I am lonely. Tell me.
Drake kisses Hector’s chest then licks his nipple.
HECTOR
You’re driving me crazy, Bro.
Tell me.
DRAKE
Hector grabs Drake and takes off his clothes. The two kiss.

You think you can handle this, Bro?

DRAKE
Yeah, give it to me, Bro.
INT. JAVA BOYS - NIGHT
Drake sits with Drew at a table. The place is empty.
Drew leans in.
DREW
Honey, you look a mess.
DRAKE
I know. I had to have sex with
Hector.
DREW
How was it, sweetie?
DRAKE
I only did it to get information.
He’s not that bad. The gay gods
knew what they were doing when they
made him.
DREW
I am worried about you.
Drake leans back in the chair.
DRAKE
I had to find out what he told the
detective. You know they are
looking for Roberto’s body.
What?
DREW
Kenny comes over with a tray of coffee. He puts one down in
front of Drew and the other in front of Drake.
Kenny walks away.
KENNY
You boys OK?
DRAKE
Yeah, fine.
21.
DREW
The police think you have something
to do with Bobby News’ murder.
DRAKE
I didn’t know that. Hector didn’t
tell me much.
Drake takes a drink of his coffee.
DREW
I think you need a lawyer, honey.
Drew takes a drink of his coffee as Drake puts his down.
DRAKE
You’re not the first person to tell
me that today.
INT. BROCK'S HOUSE BEDROOM - NIGHT
Brock sits up in his bed staring downward. ELLEN BROCK (40),
sits up and looks at her husband. Her blond hair is messed
up.
ELLEN
I must be doing something wrong.
BROCK
No, no dear. I’m just under a lot
of stress at work.
Brock gets out of bed and pulls his underwear and pajama
pants up.
ELLEN
Are you sure? We can try again.
Ellen crawls over to Brock who steps back.
INT. BROCK'S HOUSE BATHROOM - NIGHT
Brock leans against the tile wall as the water hits him. He
starts to jerk off.
Drake...
BROCK
22.
INT. WILTON MANORS POLICE STATION JESUS'S OFFICE - DAY
Drake sits in a chair holding a folder. His right leg shakes
as sweat pours from his forehead. Jesus comes in and sits
behind the desk. Drake puts the folder on the desk.
DRAKE
Here’s what you asked me for.
Jesus opens the folder and looks at Roberto’s bank and credit
card statements.
JESUS
Are you aware that Roberto hasn’t
made any car payments in six
months?
DRAKE
No sir. That’s news to me.
JESUS
The bank is looking for it so they
can repossess it.
Jesus looks at the file again and then closes it.
JESUS (CONT’D)
When did you last see Roberto?
Drake puts his hand on his leg to stop it from shaking.
DRAKE
Is Roberto involved in this Bobby
News thing?
Jesus stands up and walks in front of the desk. He towers
over Drake in the chair.
JESUS
Roberto’s sister has filed a
missing persons report. Just answer
the question. When did you see
Roberto last?
DRAKE
Six months ago when he got into the
car and drove away.
Jesus walks around the room.
Drake smiles.
JESUS
Was he alone?
23.
DRAKE
You mean was Bobby with him?
JESUS
I am asking the questions.
DRAKE
He was alone. He took a bag,
drained our joint bank accounts,
and then left.
Jesus walks back behind the desk and sits in the chair.
Drake stands up.
Jesus smiles.
Drake sits down.
JESUS
But you told everyone that he left
you for Bobby.
DRAKE
Do I need a lawyer?
JESUS
Sit down. This is not a formal
interrogation. I am just trying to
figure out if there is a connection
between Bobby’s murder and
Roberto’s disappearance.
DRAKE
I heard that Bobby was gone and I
figured they were together. Roberto
was cheating on me with him.
JESUS
I know. But his friends state Bobby
was just a trick, not his lover.
DRAKE
Look, all I know is that he was
fucking Bobby, broke off our
engagement, and left me.
Drake starts to cry.
JESUS
OK, but it’s strange that there are
no charges on his credit cards and
the car is missing. Aren't you
worried?
24.
Drake wipes his eyes.
DRAKE
Of course I am worried. I still
love him. Even though...
Jesus leans against the desk.
JESUS
Even though what?
DRAKE
Roberto has a temper and he hit me
that night.
Jesus leans back in the chair.
JESUS
When was the last time you saw
Bobby?
Drake stands up and heads to the door.
DRAKE
I don’t like this line of
questioning.
JESUS
I can make this formal.
DRAKE
Next time I will bring my lawyer.
Drake opens the door and exits the office. Jesus stands up
and looks out the window.
INT. DRAKE'S TOWNHOUSE GUEST ROOM - DAY
Drake inserts the IV into Roberto. He force feeds him
oatmeal.
Drake wipes Roberto’s mouth.
ROBERTO
Let me go. I won’t tell.
DRAKE
Shut up. This Bobby thing has the
police sniffing around. I’ve got to
do something.
Drake walks over to the window. He moves the curtain and sees
a police car drive by.
25.
Drake turns around.
Roberto laughs.
ROBERTO
Just confess to what you did.
DRAKE
I didn’t do anything. This is all
on you. You couldn’t keep your dick
in your pants.
ROBERTO
You killed him. I saw you.
Drake walks over to the tray table, takes a syringe, fills it
up, and goes over to Roberto.
ROBERTO (CONT’D)
Please don’t. I am an addict.
Drake injects the drug into Roberto.
DRAKE
Shut up. I have to fix this.
ROBERTO
Run, leave before it’s too late.
Roberto falls onto the bed with a smile on his face.
INT. DRAKE'S TOWNHOUSE MASTER BEDROOM - FLASHBACK SIX MONTHS
AGO - NIGHT

holding a shopping bag.
DRAKE
Look what I’ve got for us.
Drake sees them in bed together and drops the bag.
ROBERTO
Sorry babe, I didn’t want you to
see us this way.
Bobby sits up in bed with a smile on his face. Roberto gets
out of bed, grabs his underwear, and puts it on.
DRAKE
No, no we are getting married next
week.
26.
Roberto walks over to Drake. Bobby watches.
ROBERTO
No, it’s over babe.
It’s been over for a long time.
Drake slaps Roberto’s face.
DRAKE
You’re leaving me for some dancer;
some dirty little whore?
Bobby gets out of bed and puts his underwear on.
ROBERTO
No, babe it’s over. I don’t want to
be tied down.
Drake runs over to Bobby and grabs him by his brown hair and
starts to beat him. Roberto tries to pull Drake off of Bobby,
but Drake pushes Roberto. He falls and hits his head against
the wall and gets knocked out.
DRAKE
You dirty little whore. I am going
to kill you. You ruined everything.
Drake continues to hit Bobby. His face is covered in blood.
Roberto lays unconscious in back of them.
EXT. WILTON MANORS BEACH - DAY
Drake and Drew sit on a beach towel watching Hector and his
friends play volleyball.
DREW
Do you think Roberto killed Bobby
and is in hiding?
Drake has on mirrored sunglasses as he watches the men play.
DRAKE
Could be. He had a temper, but I
think the police are suspecting me
instead.
Drew puts his arm around Drake.
DREW
No sweetie, not you. You couldn’t
hurt anyone.
27.
Hector comes running over. His body is covered in sweat.

HECTOR (CONT’D)
I’ve got to get back to the game.
Hector runs back to the volleyball game.
DREW
Oh, we hate him. Remember?
Drake turns and looks at Drew as he lowers his sunglasses.
DRAKE
He’s not that bad. The gay gods
might have sent me something I can
use.
DREW
You called him a meathead and
anyway those gym rats are not your
type.
DRAKE
It’s time to move on and change. I
need something to keep my mind off
this Bobby shit.
Drake pushes his sunglasses up.
DREW
Be careful. Hector is known as a
man whore on the drive.

shirt. Jesus stands at the door with a police officer.

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

Drake takes out his key, unlocks the door, and goes inside.

He’s hiding something.

Listen, I’ve already been to jail.

get me sent back.

this job.

knock out a horse.
Drake smiles. Brock reaches in his pocket and hands Drake a
pill.

the night? I don’t want to be

DRAKE
This is payback.
Hector looks at Drake.
For what?
HECTOR
DRAKE
Letting me spend the night.
Drake reaches across to wash Hector’s arm.
HECTOR
Bro, you should get out of
Roberto’s place. The apartment

change.

Hector’s chest.
DREW
Oh my God, sweetie. Are you OK?
Drake looks at Drew.
DRAKE
I think he was dead in our bed.
DREW
You were not home last night when
he came back?
HECTOR
He stayed at my place, Bro.
Drew takes Drake by the hand and walks him across the
emergency room. Hector sits in a chair and picks up a fitness
magazine.
DREW
What is going on with you and him?
Drew points to Hector sitting across the room.
DRAKE
He’s not that bad, once you get
used to all the Bro's.
Drake wipes his eyes.
DREW
You’ve always hated him and now
he’s your boyfriend? I am confused.
What are you up to?
DRAKE
He’s helping me get over all the
pain Roberto caused. I think the
gay gods sent him to me.

No one is to speak to him until I
question him first.

You think he killed that guy? The
killer is him.
Millie points to Drake.
Drake laughs.
JESUS
Stop this. Drake, where are you
staying? You can’t stay at the
townhouse. We are still searching
it.
DREW
You can stay with me.
DRAKE
Thanks, but I will be at Hector’s
place.
Millie turns to Hector and slaps his face.
MILLIE
How could you betray your best
friend with this whore.
DRAKE
Watch it, lady.
Jesus steps in the middle of them and puts his arms up in the
air.
37.

Enough! Everyone needs to go home.

none of you will be able to see
Roberto, until I see him first!

I am sorry to disturb you. I am
worried about Drake. Is he here?
38.
HECTOR
Yeah, he’s still in the shower. I
will get him for you.
Drew rolls his eyes as Hector leaves the room. Drew sits on
the leather sofa. Drake comes out in an oversized bathrobe.
DRAKE
What’s going on?
DREW
I am worried about Roberto in the
HOSPITAL and you staying in this
place. It smells like a locker
room.
Drake sits next to Drew.
DRAKE
You have nothing to worry about.
Anyway, I am moving in here.
Drew falls back against the sofa in disbelief.
DREW
What are you up to? For months you
waited for Roberto to come home and
now you’re moving in with muscle
boy.
Drake stands and walks across the room.
DRAKE
I know it looks strange, but he has
shown me that I need to move on and
so now I am.
DREW
What about Roberto?
Drake looks at a picture of Hector lifting weights.
DRAKE
What about him? He cheated on me
and left me. It’s time to move on.
Hector comes into the room in tight shorts and a tee shirt.

HECTOR
Bro, did he tell you the good news?

with yesterday?

You’re under arrest for the murder
of Bobby News. Anything you say can
and will be held against you.
Bonnie comes running down the hall.
DRAKE
This is a joke, right?
Jesus points to the police officer.
40.
Cuff him.
JESUS
The police officer takes out his cuffs and turns Drake
around. He puts the cuffs on him.

What’s this about and what did
Roberto say?
JEFFREY (45), tall thin in a brown suit with his hair combed
to the side and wearing horn rimmed glasses, enters the room.
Jesus turns to him.
JESUS
Who are you?
Jeffrey walks over to Drake and puts his hand on Drake’s
shoulder.
JEFFREY
I am his lawyer. What right do you
have to hold my client?
JESUS
I have a witness who saw your
client kill Bobby News. Your client
then held the witness prisoner in
his house, to keep him quiet.
DRAKE
Roberto told you that?
41.
Jeffrey walks around to Jesus.
JEFFREY
So a known drug addict who’s been
missing told you this?
JESUS
You’re talking about his exboyfriend?
Jesus points to Drake and then puts his arm down.
JEFFERY
Yes, Roberto states he saw my
client kill Mr. News and then he
held him prisoner in his own home?
Correct.
JESUS
Jeffrey laughs. He walks back over to Drake.
JEFFREY
You have no evidence. The search of
the townhouse shows nothing. This
witness is not credible.
INT. WILTON MANORS POLICE STATION WAITING AREA - DAY
Hector comes in and hugs Drake. Hector then shakes Jeffrey’s
hand.
HECTOR
Thank you.
JEFFREY
It’s my job.
Jesus enters the room.
JESUS
Don’t leave town. You’re still a
suspect.
DRAKE
Roberto is lying. Why does he want
to hurt me?
Drake falls into Hector’s arms.
JESUS
Don’t worry about Roberto. He’s on
his way to rehab to sober up.
42.
HECTOR
That’s good news, Bro.
JEFFREY
Call me if you need me.

DRAKE
Let me go.
Drake tries to break free, but cannot.
43.

adjusts his tee shirt.
Get out.
DRAKE
Roberto looks at Drake.
ROBERTO
How do you live with yourself?
DRAKE
What do you mean?
ROBERTO
You killed Bobby and then held me
prisoner.
Roberto stands up. He walks over to Drake.
DRAKE
I didn’t kill Bobby. He left after
the fight.
ROBERTO
Yeah, if that’s true, why chain me
to the bed and feed me drugs?
DRAKE
You were going to leave me. I love
you.
Roberto grabs Drake and they start to kiss. Roberto flips
Drake around. Drake holds the wall as Roberto pulls Drake’s
pants down. Roberto slaps Drake’s bare ass.
ROBERTO
Is this what you want?
DRAKE
Yes, I still love you, fuck me.
Roberto slaps Drake’s ass again.
ROBERTO
Fuck you! What game are you playing
hiding here with Hector? You killed
Bobby and held me prisoner. I will
prove it.
44.
Drake turns around and pulls his pants up.
Get out.
DRAKE
Drake cries.
ROBERTO
You had someone help you. I know
it. I will figure it out.
DRAKE
Get out. You humiliate me.
ROBERTO
Now you know how I felt all those
months when you had me chained to
the bed.
Roberto leaves the apartment. Drake falls to the floor
crying.
KNOCK. Drake gets up and runs to the door. Drake opens the
door.

Drew stands holding a coffee.
DREW

INT. HECTOR'S APARTMENT LIVING ROOM - DAY
DRAKE
Not now. I am not in the mood.
Roberto was here.
Drew puts the coffee down on the table. He takes a long
sniff.
DREW
Can’t you get that locker room
smell out of this place?
45.
Drew sits down.
DRAKE
Did you hear me? Roberto was here
accusing me of killing Bobby and
holding him prisoner.
DREW
Come on sweetie, we all know that
this is from his drug haze. He’s
just upset that you hooked up with
his best friend.
The front door opens. Drew jumps up. Hector comes in all
sweaty. He removes his shirt.
HECTOR
I’ve got to take a shower, Bro.
He kisses Drake’s cheek.
DREW
God, no wonder you can’t get the
smell out.
HECTOR
Come scrub my back, Drake.
Hector leaves the room. Drew goes over to Drake.
DREW
What are you, his slave? Come scrub
my back?
DRAKE
You’d better go.

gross.

I will call you later.

shut.

DRAKE
You like that, daddy?
Doctor Brock smiles.
BROCK
More than you’ll ever know.
Doctor Brock turns to Drake. He caresses his cheek.
Drake laughs.
BROCK (CONT’D)
You’re not having relations with
anyone else, are you?
DRAKE
Only you, daddy. You’re all the man
I need.
Drake goes to kiss Doctor Brock. Doctor Brock blocks him.
BROCK
No kissing on the lips. I am not
gay.
DRAKE
Whatever, daddy.
Drake lays his head on Doctor Brock’s chest.
BROCK
Don’t ever lie to me.
Drake smiles as Doctor Brock plays with Drake’s hair.

next to him. Drew comes in and sits at his table.

I know you don’t like me.

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

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

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

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

now.

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

So did mine, but...
Drake puts the flowers down on his desk.

What are you up to Roberto? What
trick are you playing?

ROBERTO
I forgive you. I understand why you
did what you did to me. I was a
crappy boyfriend.
Drake rolls his eyes.
58.
DRAKE
Why this sudden change of heart?
You’ve been telling everyone I
killed Bobby and held you prisoner.
That’s why I have to work the
graveyard shift.
Drake walks around the nurse’s station and stands in front of
Roberto.
ROBERTO
I’m sorry. But what you did to me
was fucked up, but I understand why
now.
Drake puts his arms on his hips.
DRAKE
Are you recording this? Where’s
your phone?
Roberto takes his hand and pulls out his phone from his
pocket. He places it on the nurse’s station.
ROBERTO
It’s not a trick. I want you home
with me in our own bed. I want to
fix this.
DRAKE
I am with Hector now.
Roberto slams his hand down on the nurse’s station.
Drake steps back.
Roberto turns away.
ROBERTO
You don’t love Hector. You belong
with me. It kills me to think of
him holding you, making love to
you.
DRAKE
We have a good thing going. He does
not cheat on me like you did.
ROBERTO
Bobby and the others were a
mistake. You’re my true love and
Hector is...
59.
DRAKE
Hector is what?
Roberto turns back, looks at Drake, and caresses his cheek.
ROBERTO
He’s cheating on you with Yorgen.
DRAKE
No, you’re just trying to hurt me
again. I saw you making out with
Yorgen.
Drake runs around in back of the nurse’s station.

Yes, just to find out if it was
true. Come home, babe. Let me make
it up to you. I want to hold you
and talk all night.

him.

I kept all that equipment you had
in the room as an insurance policy.

No, you are trying to find proof.
Roberto walks over to Drake and grabs him.
ROBERTO
No, no, I really want you back.

Give it up. Your being nice to me

a way to get close to me to find
some proof for that detective.

Ok, yes. You make me sick. You held
me captive for months. I want you
to pay for everything you did.
Drake slaps Roberto. Roberto slaps Drake.
Roberto laughs.
DRAKE
You ruined what me and Hector had.
How could the gay gods turn on me.
ROBERTO
I saved him from you. You don’t
love him or even like him for that
matter. If you did, you would not
have gotten on your knees so fast
when I came over.
DRAKE
Don’t flatter yourself.
Roberto sits in a chair.
ROBERTO
Get out. I give up.
69.
DRAKE
Give up? I did nothing wrong. You
were the man whore when we were
together.
Roberto stands up and gets in Drake’s face.
ROBERTO
Maybe if you were able to satisfy
me, I wouldn’t have had to find
another man to do the job.
DRAKE
Fuck you. I am out of here.
ROBERTO
You are going to slip and the truth
will come out about what you did to
me and Bobby.

problem with that, Bro?

us.
Brock walks around the room. He starts to get dressed.
BROCK
You would tell her?
DRAKE
I don’t want to, but I will be in a
lot of trouble if I don’t get this
money.

All you queer boys want money from
me. I am not a fucking ATM.
DRAKE
No daddy, I love you. What have you
done to me?
Brock sits on the bed holding a needle.
BROCK
I gave you some drug that makes you
paralyzed. You don’t love me. You
used me, just like Bobby.
Bobby?
DRAKE
Brock starts to sweat.
BROCK
Bobby! He wanted money too. He was
going to tell Mrs. Brock about me
and him.
Drake tries to move, but can’t.
Brock stands up.
DRAKE
You were having an affair with
Bobby before me?
BROCK
Yes, I loved him like I love you,
but then he asked me for money and
blackmailed me, just like you.

BOBBY
You’d better find a way, or I will
tell your wife about us.
Brock falls against the car.
Bobby laughs.
Bobby turns away.
BROCK
Please, if you love me, you
wouldn’t.
BOBBY
Love you? Some middle aged fool who
chases boys half his age? I deserve
the money for just having to be
fucked by you.
BROCK
You were using me this whole time?
BOBBY
Wake up old man. I need my pay out
or Mrs. Brock will know how much
you like your dick sucked.

because you couldn’t live with the
guilt of killing Bobby.
DRAKE
Please, no. I won’t tell.
Brock injects Drake. He stands and looks at Drake.
Drake passes out.
BROCK
No, you can’t be trusted. You are
