INT. JEM'S APARTMENT - FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER
[Doug walks in. Jem is watching television]
DOUG: I need your help. I can't tell you what it is, you can never ask me about it later, and we're gonna hurt some people.
[Jem stares at him, eyes thoughtful]
JEM: Whose car we gonna take?
EXT. MISHUAM PROJECTS - NIGHT
[The slowly cruise around another corner and pull to a STOP outside one particular UNIT. They pull out Baklava MASKS, jump out of the car and grab a SLEDGEHAMMER from the trunk.]
INT. ALEX COLAZZO'S APARTMENT - MOMENTS LATER
[We are at the stairway landing. Doug and Jem arrive, don masks, and quickly step up to the door.]
[Doug raps on the metal door]
ALEX (from within): Who is it?
DOUG: Open up!
[The door cracks, Alex is about to look through using the chain but Jem HITS IT with the SLEDGEHAMMER-- sending ALEX SPRAWLING BACK into his apartment. Doug and Jem seamlessly continue their momentum and rush through behind the door.]
INT. ALEX COLAZZO'S APARTMENT, INSIDE - CONTINUOUS
[Jem removes an EXPANDABLE METAL STICK and uses it to CRACK the FAT FRIEND of Alex's across the face as he emerges to help. Doug is all over Alex, punching and stomping him. It is a very fast, brutal flurry of violence that is more a beating than a fight--despite the fact that if anything, Jem and Doug are outsized.]
DOUG: Oh sh** that hurts, huh? Is that your throwing hand?
[Jem and Doug let up--they stand heaving and sweating over the two thugs and their demolished apartment.]
DOUG: If you're still here in a week we're coming back. (to Jem) let's go. We're done.
[Jem isn't done. He seems curious about Alex.]
JEM (to Alex): What did you do?
ALEX: I don't know what you're talking about!
JEM: That's my brother right there, what'd you do to get him so cranked up, huh?
ALEX: I don't know what the f** you're talking about!
JEM: No? How bout now?
[Jem's gun comes out.]
ALEX: Chill, chill...
JEM: Now do you know?!
ALEX: Chill, chill!
JEM: Don't f**ing tell me to chill!
DOUG: That's enough!
JEM: What'd you do!!
ALEX: I don't know what the f** you're talking about!
JEM: No?
[BOOM! Jem shoots him in the thigh. Alex HOWLS!]
JEM: There goes college soccer! Hey look at me.
[Jem takes his mask off]
JEM: You see my face? Tell the cops, alright? But just remember: I've seen yours too.
