He fires four shots at the booth.

Probably dead… most likely…
Jason turns around to see Phillips walking up the steps carrying his automatic rifle.
Phillips stops all the way across the room.
PHILLIPS
His foot… ankle… it looked really bad. He was coughing… He shakes his head.
PHILLIPS
Kelly and Carter are without compassion Jason. I told you that shit when you suggested the whole damn… fucking… why would you fuck with people like that Jason?
Jason stares at Phillips.
PHILLIPS
You were always the fearless one, that's why. You don't give a fuck about anyone or anything if it's standing in your way… are they in there?
JASON
Don't do this Phillips.
Phillips raises his gun and fires one shot into Jason's leg, Jason goes down but holds onto the briefcases.

PHILLIPS
Don't do what motherfucker?! He knew I was your right hand man Jason, he knew all that shit and you let him walk right into our homes… with our families… our kids… my son…
Jason looks up at Phillips.
PHILLIPS
Didn't bother to ask me how my kid was doing did you Jason? You never did get sidetracked by the little things, like everyone else's well being.

PHILLIPS (O.S)
It was my son's ear… that I found. When I woke up, all I could do was to keep on keeping on. I went to go play poker… and won.
Jason shakes his head as he listens to Phillips pain filled laugh.
PHILLIPS (O.S)
Four hundred fucking dollars.
JASON
You should have told me. You know I always have your back.
PHILLIPS (O.S)
Yeah…
INT. BAR
Phillips sits with his back to the bar, holding his side.
PHILLIPS
I remember when… I remember the way you looked; when you first came to me with the crazy ass fucking idea.

104

What's the toughest crew we can join… I said that I didn't know… the mob? You're crazy ass looked at me and said…
JASON
The police.
He locks eyes with Victor as the man adjusts his FBI badge before exiting the club.
Jason shakes his head and closes his eyes.
JASON
What makes you think they'll keep you're fucking bastard alive, but not Boston?
He stares at the bar.
JASON
What makes you think that motherfucker? I hope they dipped his little ass in gasoline and burned him alive.
PHILLIPS
You know… Jason…
INT. BAR
Phillips rests the back of his head against the bar.
PHILLIPS
… they had me busy too. I had to go get your brother out of the mental shit house… I had to keep tabs on you… and maybe you're right Jason. Maybe I'm stupid and they killed my kid before they even got to yours…
He looks up at the ceiling.
105
PHILLIPS
But at least I got something out of this whole living nightmare… they said I had to but I have always wanted to fuck Gwen, and while I had my dick in her asshole – even though I had her bound and gagged… man… brother…

… I think I heard her moaning… just a little bit.

JASON
Thomas…
PHILLIPS
Yeah Jason…
Tears roll down Phillips face as Jason rises to his feet.
JASON
… how would you like to go?
PHILLIPS
Come one bro… you've asked me that question since we were locked up in Mexico. I don't know.
106
Jason nods.
JASON
I always told you to consider that shit.
He grabs Phillips by the neck and pulls him over the bar.
When the man hits the ground Jason pulls out his long blade and stabs it down into the man's stomach, and then he begins to carve and very uneven cut as the man screams. He slices his friend open from the belly button to the chest and then lets the man fall to the ground, convulsing.
Jason turns to the fire exit and pushes the doors open as sirens can be heard blaring all around.
The door slowly closes behind him.
INT. CARTER'S MUSIC ROOM
Kelly finally opens her eyes as Carter ends his original piece, she smiles and lightly claps.
He stares down at his piano and sighs.
CARTER
It's always a sad day when you cannot bear to speak to you're children anymore…
He turns to her.
CARTER
… he'll be coming for us you know. He has too.
She takes a small sip of her wine and looks up at the large chandelier.
KELLY
Well… I guess we'll find out what type of man we raised. One way of the other…
