FADE IN…
EXT. THE CITY – NIGHT
We get an aerial shot of the city; the lights from the skyscrapers in the downtown area shine bright on the streets and the cars on the expressways are moving steady on the road.
EXT. ALLEY
We pan down on a rough section of the city to find a young BLONDE GIRL, age 16, alone in the alley. No one is around…that is until two BOYS, both ages 19, spot her. By the way they approach her, they're up to no good.
BOY #1
Hey baby, what's up?
BOY #2
Yeah girl.
GIRL
Leave me alone, you jerks.
BOY #2
Oooh, this one's feisty, we like that.
BOY #1
Say baby, how about me and you go back to my place and…
He whispers something in her ear.
GIRL
(disgusted)
Ewww…get away from me you perverts.
The girl walks away from the two boys when they stop her.
BOY #1
Look, you're comin' with us whether you like it or not.
BOY #2
Yeah!
BOY #1
(grabbing her hand)
Now c'mon!
GIRL
I said No!
The girl hits one of them in the face and starts to run, but they catch up to her. The two boys grab the girl and throw her down to the ground, they now try to rip the girl's clothes off of her while she kicks and screams for help, but no one is around to hear her. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a PERSON standing in the SHADOWS of the alley appears.
SHADOWY FIGURE
Excuse me, gentlemen, but I believe the lady said "no."
BOY #2
Man, who the hell are you?
SHADOWY FIGURE
Oh…nobody.
(stepping from the shadows, revealing his face)
I'm just an outsider trying to survive out here.
BOY #1
Well, if you don't get outta here, you're gonna be a dead man.
SHADOWY FIGURE
Oh…I don't think so.
BOY #2
Wait, did you say outsider?
SHADOWY FIGURE
Mm-Hmm.
Realizing who he is, the two boys get up and run, the OUTSIDER whistles and SIX PEOPLE jump out of nowhere and grab the two boys. The six people are all dressed in black; some are even wearing trenchcoats. They beat the living daylights out of the two boys, the boys are defenseless; they continue to punch and kick the boys until they're ordered to stop by their leader.
OUTSIDER
STOP!
They stop. The boys are left bloody and bruised. The "Outsider" walks up to the boys who are now lying on the ground.
OUTSIDER
Next time, you'll listen to me.
This "Outsider" pulls out two guns and shoots both of the boys in the head. He now turns his attention to the girl.
OUTSIDER
Now, what to do with you.
GIRL
Are you going to kill me?
OUTSIDER
No, of course, that is if you'll join us.
GIRL
Join you?
OUTSIDER
I've seen you out here, all alone.
Join my Lost Souls.
The girl looks at this man in front of her, and the six people around him. He pulls out his hand and she grabs it. The girl decides to join him.
OUTSIDER
(to the girl)
You'll never have to worry about being hassled again, uh…what's your name?
GIRL
Hannah.
OUTSIDER
Well Hannah, you're safe with us now.
(to the Lost Souls)
Come on, let's go.
The Outsider, HANNAH, and his LOST SOULS leave, leaving the lifeless body of the two boys.
The screen fades to black, and the title appears: "OUTSIDER'S EDGE"
EXT. ALLEY – TWO HOURS LATER
Police arrive on the scene to investigate the murder of the two boys. SGT. MATTHEW BARNETT, now a little older than before, is there to find out what happened.
BARNETT
Alright, men what happen?
OFFICER
Their names are Thomas Simmons and Steven Nelson.
Both age 19, and both have previous criminal records.
BARNETT
So, what happened?
OFFICER
It looks like they were both shot in the head, and I don't think they did it to themselves.
BARNETT
Any witnesses?
OFFICER
Nope, there was no one around.
You think it was…well, you know?
BARNETT
God, I hope not.
OFFICER
But, I don't understand; I thought you sent the Outsider and the Lost Souls away.
BARNETT
I did, and that was six years ago.
I don't know what going on.
OFFICER
Okay, let's wrap'em up.
The paramedics on the scene wrap the two boys bodies in body bags and take them away.
EXT. WAREHOUSE
A BLACK VAN arrives at an old ABANDON WAREHOUSE in a deserted part of the city. The Outsider and the Lost Souls get out of the van along with their new member, Hannah.
INT. WAREHOUSE
Inside the warehouse are fifteen other people, ages 13 to 17, some are playing, others walking around, and a few of them are riding skateboards; waiting for the arrival of their leader, The Outsider. The Outsider and the Lost Souls arrive with Hannah; the other Lost Souls look at him as if he's a king and with curiosity for the girl with him.
OUTSIDER
(to Hannah)
Make yourself at home.
He heads upstairs to the second floor of the warehouse where he goes to a room with a bed, he takes off his trench coat and in the doorway is a GIRL in a wheelchair; this girl is JEN, now age 20. This could mean only one thing, the Outsider is none other than…
JEN
Tate, where were you?
TATE
Handling business.
JEN
Oh really?
Well, would this business have anything to do with those two boys that were found dead tonight?
TATE
How did you find out about that?
JEN
The news.
TATE
Oh.
JEN
Well?
TATE
Well what?
JEN
Were you involved?
TATE
Maybe.
JEN
Maybe?
(sigh)
Tate, why do you do this?
TATE
Because, there's ignorant people out there who deceive to die.
I'm just finishing what the Outsider did before he was caught.
JEN
(looking downstairs)
Who's the girl?
TATE
That's Hannah, we found her there.
She was being raped by those two assholes.
JEN
And you brought her here?
TATE
Yeah, so?
JEN
So, what about her family?
TATE
Who cares!
Besides, she was all alone, they probably deserted her like our parents did to us.
JEN
That was different, Tate.
Our parents were jerks, I know, but she's got to have a family.
And what about the Lost Souls?
TATE
What happened to you?
Remember, you were a Lost Soul too, you know.
You've changed ever since the Outsider was taken away.
JEN
That's because I've actually realized what I've been doing, I've been taking away innocent lives.
TATE
Like the Outsider would say, "there are no innocent victims."
That why I'm gonna start his 2H plan.
JEN
Not the 2H plan.
Do you know what will happen if you go through with that plan?
TATE
No, and I don't care.
JEN
Well, if you're going through with this, then I can't stand behind you.
I'm going to bed, goodnight.
TATE
Goodnight.
Jen rolls out of the room, and Tate goes to the ledge of the stairs, outside his room, where the Lost Souls are.
TATE
Lost Souls!
They all turn and look at him.
TATE
Lights out.
The Lost Souls go to different parts off the warehouse and go to sleep. Tate goes to his room and does the same thing. In a corner of the warehouse, Hannah sits frightened.
INT. POLICE STATION –MORNING
The police station is full of officers walking around drinking coffee and taking police reports. Barnett is in his office still trying to figure out these "Outsider" crimes.
BARNETT
Okay, any new leads?
OFFICER
No sir, still nothing.
BARNETT
Damn!
I still don't understand what's going on.
OFFICER
Also, this note came in last night.
BARNETT
What note?
The officer gives the note to Sgt. Barnett. Barnett reads the note word for word.
BARNETT
"Barnett, the city is about to be a warzone. Every ounce of ignorance, in this city, will be held hostage in my own concentration camp. Each person will be slaughtered for their cruelty and ignorance towards people like me, and my Lost Souls; not even you and your petty cops can't stop the 2H from happening. You stopped us before, but it won't happen again, so catch us…if you can. The Outsider."
OFFICER
God, this is serious.
What does 2H mean?
BARNETT
(remembering)
Second Holocaust
Oh no, we've got to stop this from happening.
Innocent people are going to die if we don't do something.
OFFICER
But what are we gonna do?
BARNETT
Let me think…
Sgt. Barnett tries to think of something until an idea comes to the officer.
OFFICER
Hey, why don't you go to the source?
BARNETT
What do you mean?
OFFICER
Why not go to the kid you put in the nuthouse.
BARNETT
Are you serious?
OFFICER
Maybe he knows something about this 2H thing.
The note said, "You've stopped us before," maybe there's a connection.
BARNETT
(after thinking about it)
You know, that's a good idea.
I'll go today.
OFFICER
Do you know where he is?
BARNETT
Yeah, I'll call first.
INT. WILLIAMS MENTAL INSTITUTION – LATE MORNING
Barnett arrives in the lobby of the Williams Mental Institution. He goes to the front desk for clearance; standing at the desk is a LADY.
BARNETT
Excuse me, but I'm here to see Dr. Moore.
LADY
Name please.
BARNETT
Matthew Barnett.
The lady looks through the papers to find his name.
LADY
Ah…I see it, if you will wait right there, he will be with you shortly.
BARNETT
Thank you.
Barnett sits down and wait. Thirty minutes go by, and until finally DR. MOORE comes in.
DR. MOORE
Sgt. Barnett?
BARNETT
Dr. Moore!
The two shake hands.
DR. MOORE
It's nice to meet you.
BARNETT
Thank you for answering my call.
DR. MOORE
Let's step into my office.
INT. DR. MOORE'S OFFICE
Dr. Moore and Barnett go into the office where, the lovely CARRIE STRONBERG sits waiting.
DR. MOORE
Sgt. Barnett, I would like for you to meet Carrie Stronberg.
CARRIE
(shaking Barnett's hand)
Hello!
BARNETT
Hi!
DR. MOORE
Please, sit down.
Barnett and Carrie both sit down in the chairs.
DR. MOORE
So, from what you've told me on the phone, you would like to talk to one our patients.
BARNETT
That's correct.
DR. MOORE
Which one, exactly?
BARNETT
The one called, The Outsider.
Dr. Moore and Carrie look at each other with doubtful looks on their faces.
CARRIE
You mean Jeremy?
BARNETT
Yeah, I guess.
DR. MOORE
Any particular reason?
BARNETT
I want to know if he knows anything about the latest killings going on in the city.
Apparently, another individual who calls himself the Outsider is causing them.
CARRIE
Well, you don't think it's him do you?
BARNETT
I just want to know if he can help find out a few things,
maybe he might know who the Outsider is.
DR. MOORE
Well, Jeremy isn't a very cooperative person to deal with.
CARRIE
Dr. Moore, maybe I should go in there with him.
DR. MOORE
If you insist.
Well, let's go see him shall we?
Dr. Moore, Barnett, and Carrie get up and walk out of the room to see the patient.
INT. JEREMY'S ROOM
The room looks familiar: a bed, a desk, and two chairs. Sitting in one of the chairs is JEREMY RAHSAAN GRIER a.k.a.THE OUTSIDER. Now 24-years-old, Jeremy is looking out the window in his room; one noticeable change is that the stitches over his left eye are gone and his eye is open, but his scar is still there. Suddenly, the door opens and in comes Dr. Moore and Carrie.
DR. MOORE
Good morning, Jeremy.
Jeremy says nothing.
CARRIE
Hi, Jeremy!
He still remains silent.
DR. MOORE
Um…there's someone here to see you.
(to Barnett)
Come on in.
Barnett comes in and Jeremy becomes hostile and gets out of his chair.
CARRIE
(trying to calm down Jeremy)
Relax, he's not going to hurt you, he just wants to talk to you.
Jeremy becomes calm sits back down in the chair, and Barnett sits down in the other chair.
BARNETT
Jeremy, you might not know me, but…
JEREMY
(finally talking)
I know who you are.
BARNETT
You do?
JEREMY
How could I forget the man who's responsible for me being here?
BARNETT
Well, that was six years ago.
JEREMY
And I still haven't forgotten it.
BARNETT
(looking at Jeremy's eye)
I see they've fixed your eye…
JEREMY
(frustrated)
What do you want?
BARNETT
Look, I need your help.
There's this guy out there who's committing these murders in…
JEREMY
(cutting him off)
What does that have to do with me?
BARNETT
He calls himself the Outsider.
Jeremy looks at him when he hears this.
JEREMY
What?
BARNETT
That's right, he apparently wants to start something that you didn't finish.
Something about 2H.
JEREMY
(remembering)
Second Holocaust.
BARNETT
Yeah, I know.
JEREMY
Yeah, I had a plan where I would take all of the ignorant people in the city, and destroy them. So, what do you want from me?
BARNETT
I want you to help me stop him before people get hurt.
JEREMY
No!
BARNETT
Why not?
JEREMY
Because, maybe I just don't want to help you.
Maybe he should go ahead and kill those bastards out there.
BARNETT
Innocent people are going to die, don't you even care?
JEREMY
Look at me, do I look like I care?
BARNETT
Okay, but if this happens, he might go for you.
JEREMY
I doubt it.
BARNETT
Wanna bet?
(giving up)
I don't even know why I'm here.
Barnett gets up out of the chair and heads for the door when…
JEREMY
Wait!
Barnett sits back down.
JEREMY
Let me just say that I don't give a damn about you or the people, but I'm a little curious about who this new Outsider is, so…I'll help you.
BARNETT
(getting happy)
Well, alright.
JEREMY
But on one condition.
BARNETT
What is it?
JEREMY
I want my family to come with me.
BARNETT
Your family?
JEREMY
The Lost Souls.
BARNETT
Oh, no!
Sorry, but I can't do that.
JEREMY
Why not?
You're letting me out, why can't you let them out too?
BARNETT
Because, most of them are dead.
JEREMY
(devastated)
Dead?
BARNETT
They died in jail.
Only five of them are still alive.
JEREMY
Well, then bring them.
BARNETT
No, I just want you.
JEREMY
I can't do this alone.
If you don't want them, then you obviously don't want me.
BARNETT
(after thinking it over)
Alright, it's a deal.
CARRIE
And if you want, I'll go with you.
BARNETT
Are you sure you want to do that?
CARRIE
Hey, it'll be something new for me.
BARNETT
Well, alright then.
JEREMY
(to himself)
I don't believe this.
I can't believe I'm helping the same people that put me away.
(sigh)
Alright, when do we begin?
CUT TO:
EXT. WILLIAWS MENTAL INSTITUTION
The gates outside the institution open and out come Barnett, Carrie, and Jeremy. Jeremy wears dark pants, a dark shirt, and a pair of sunglasses. A brown jacket now replaces his usual trenchcoat. The bright sun shines in Jeremy's face.
BARNETT
So, how does it feel to be out?
JEREMY
No different than when I came in.
I don't even know what's going on in this city.
CARRIE
Well, other than the killings, there's not that much going on.
BARNETT
C'mon, let's go.
Barnett points to a police van parked on the curb.
JEREMY
You mean to tell me that we're leaving in this?
BARNETT
What were you expecting, a limo?
This was all I could get.
JEREMY
(sarcastically)
Oh, this is nice.
So, where are we going?
BARNETT
To pick up your family.
All three go into the police van and drive off.
INT. GREENSBURG MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON
A SECURITY GUARD walks past the cells as the sound of prisoners yelling and screaming is heard throughout the prison. He stops at cellblock 8 where LEE STACKHOUSE and JASON FLOYD, both ages 22, are held.
GUARD
Stackhouse, Floyd get dressed, you're out of here.
LEE
What?
GUARD
You're free.
FLOYD
Wait, did you say free?
GUARD
Yeah.
FLOYD
(happily)
Alright.
The guard continues to walk and stops at cellblock 12 where we find HECTOR TORRES, age 22, lying on his bed.
GUARD
Torres!
HECTOR
What do you want?
GUARD
Get up, you're free to go.
HECTOR
I am?
GUARD
Yeah, now get out of here.
HECTOR
(enthusiastic)
Cool!
Well, see ya' later, Jim!
EXT. GREENSBURG MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON
The gates open outside where the three former prisoners are standing.
FLOYD
Man, I can't believe we're out.
LEE
Yeah, and after only six years.
FLOYD
Those had to be the worst years of my life.
Hector looks and sees a police van ready for them.
HECTOR
Man, what the hell is this?
They walk towards the van to find Barnett standing outside.
BARNETT
Congratulations, boys
LEE
You!
What are you doing here?
BARNETT
Hey, for your information, I'm the one who bailed you three out.
HECTOR
Oh, yeah?
What for?
The door opens and out comes Jeremy.
JEREMY
Because we've got work to do.
A look of shock comes to the faces of Lee, Hector, and Floyd.
LEE
Outsider?
Is that you?
JEREMY
Yes, it's me.
LEE
(excited, hugging Jeremy)
Ah man!
I don't believe it, I thought that…
JEREMY
(cutting Lee off)
I was in the nuthouse?
LEE
Yeah!
JEREMY
Well, I'm out, and we've got to go.
HECTOR
Go?
Go where?
BARNETT
We have to pick up two more people.
JEREMY
And…call me Jeremy.
LEE
(to Floyd)
Jeremy?
JEREMY
Come on!
They all get into the van and on to the next stop.
INT. MILLER CORRECTIONAL FACILITY
MAGDALENA STARR and KATIE JENSEN a.k.a."KAY," both ages 22, are eating in the prison cafeteria when a guard interrupts them.
GUARD
Starr, Jensen; come with me.
KAY
But we didn't do anything.
GUARD
Just come on.
They follow the guard.
CUT TO:
EXT. MILLER CORRECTIONAL FACILITY
Everyone waits outside, until they see Starr and Kay in the distance.
STARR
(looking)
What a minute, is that who I think it is?
KAY
(also looking)
It is!
Starr and Kay run to the van where Hector, Lee, and Floyd are standing. Starr hugs Hector and Lee.
STARR
(still hugging Lee and Hector)
Oh, can't believe it.
I thought we'd never see you guys again.
LEE
Yeah, that's exactly what we thought.
KAY
How did you get out?
FLOYD
We were bailed out, just like you.
KAY
I wonder who did that?
FLOYD
(pointing to Barnett)
He did.
Barnett comes around the van. Starr and Kay also remember who he is.
STARR
You did this?
BARNETT
That's right.
KAY
(angrily)
Why?
After what you did?
BARNETT
Hey, he wanted you two to come.
STARR
Who?
Jeremy appears from around the van.
JEREMY
I did.
Starr and Kay can't believe it, the Outsider is back. Kay gets emotional and hugs Jeremy.
KAY
Hi!
How are you?
JEREMY
I've been better.
STARR
We missed you.
JEREMY
And I missed all of you.
It's just too bad David, D.L., and Cleo died, otherwise we'd all be back together.
LEE
Yeah.
HECTOR
What was it that you wanted us for?
BARNETT
We'll have enough time for that, but we have to go.
They all get in the van and Hector talks to Carrie.
HECTOR
So, who might you be?
CARRIE
I'm Carrie, Jeremy's psychiatrist.
STARR
Jeremy?
JEREMY
Yeah, that's my real name.
KAY
I never knew that.
LEE
I guess there's a lot we didn't know.
The van drives off.
INT. WAREHOUSE
Hannah is sitting at a table when THREE GIRLS appear in front of her, one girl has SHORT BLONDE HAIR, another girl has LONG BROWN HAIR, and the last girl has CURLY RED HAIR. Hannah becomes scared.
TAMMY
Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you.
HANNAH
What do you want?
TAMMY
We just wanted to introduce ourselves to you.
I'm Tammy
ERIN
I'm Erin.
ALLIE
And I'm Allie.
HANNAH
I'm Hannah.
ALLIE
(sitting down)
So, where did he find you?
HANNAH
In an alley, two guys were about to rape me.
ERIN
That's bad.
He's found us after our father abused us.
HANNAH
(confused)
Us?
TAMMY
Erin and I are sisters.
HANNAH
Oh.
ALLIE
We're three of his most trusted Lost Souls.
He calls us his "Fates."
ERIN
Don't worry, nothing bad will happen to you as long as you're a Lost Soul.
TAMMY
Yeah.
HANNAH
What do you mean?
From out of nowhere, Tate shouts.
TATE
Lost Souls!
ALLIE
We'll let the Outsider explain.
Tate helps Jen go downstairs with her wheelchair and the Lost Souls form a line like soldiers in the Army.
TATE
Alright, as if you didn't know, we have a new member; say Hi to Hannah.
Hannah is still a little scared and a few of the Lost Souls look at her with mean looks, except for Allie, Tammy, and Erin.
TATE
Now, I want you treat her with the respect that the rest of society didn't give her.
Jen, give her a uniform.
Jen goes over to a corner of the warehouse were there lies a number of black clothes laying down. She picks out a black leather jacket and gives it to Tate.
TATE
Thanks.
JEN
(sarcastically)
Don't mention it.
He gives the jacket to Hannah and she puts it on.
TATE
You're a Lost Soul now, Hannah.
It's official, is now a true member of the Lost Souls. Jen shakes her head in disappointment.
EXT. RESTAURANT
Barnett, Carrie, Jeremy, and the former Lost Souls are eating at the restaurant's outdoor table.
KAY
(about to eat her food)
Finally, some real food.
HECTOR
Okay, now that we're all here, what's going on?
BARNETT
There's these…
JEREMY
(interrupting Barnett)
I'll tell them.
Well, because we've all been locked up, someone has been doing all these killings out here.
LEE
So?
JEREMY
That someone has been using our names.
STARR
What do you mean?
JEREMY
The person who's been doing this calls himself the Outsider, and the people who are with him call themselves the Lost Souls.
BARNETT
And it turns out that there maybe a connection between you guys and these killers.
FLOYD
How so?
BARNETT
We got a letter from this Outsider.
It says that, he's going to started something that you didn't finish.
KAY
What could that be?
JEREMY
The 2H plan.
LEE
The Second Holocaust?
JEREMY
That's right.
HECTOR
But how could he know about that?
BARNETT
In the letter it also said that, "you've stopped us before."
CARRIE
So this means that this Outsider could be one of your younger recruits.
JEREMY
But there were a lot of the younger recruits, so it could be anybody.
BARNNET
That's why I need you're help to stop them.
STARR
Why us?
I mean, you're a police officer, why can't you and the police do it yourselves?
JEREMY
That's what I said.
BARNETT
Because you guys are more familiar with this than we are.
FLOYD
In other words, you don't know jack shit about what's going on do you?
BARNETT
You know, if you want I can't take you back to jail, so you can spend the rest of you life as somebody's bitch.
FLOYD
Fuck you.
BARNETT
No, fuck you!
CARRIE
Will you two stop!
Look, this is important.
If they aren't stopped, a lot of people are going to be dead.
JEREMY
Carrie's right.
So, Barnett, what's the plan?
HECTOR
Wait, first of all, where are we going to stay?
CARRIE
If you want, you can all stay with me.
JEREMY
Are you sure about that?
CARRIE
No, it's okay.
I don't mind.
HECTOR
(getting a little closer to Carrie)
Neither do I.
JEREMY
Hector, knock it off, man.
Hector moves further away from Carrie.
INT. WAREHOUSE
Hannah is sitting down; watching the other Lost Souls play and walk around, even though she's one of them now, some of them are still giving her dirty looks. Jen sees Hannah, so decides to go and comfort her.
JEN
Hi.
HANNAN
Hi.
JEN
So, how do you like being a Lost Soul so far?
HANNAH
It's an interesting lifestyle everyone lives.
Where do you play in all of this?
JEN
The Outsider is my brother.
HANNAH
(shocked)
Really?
JEN
Yeah, and it's not that bad.
The both of us use to be Lost Souls, there was another guy that called himself the Outsider, and we did the same thing that they're doing now.
HANNAH
(looking at Jen's wheelchair)
What happened to you?
JEN
It's a long story, I really don't want to talk about it.
HANNAH
Oh, sorry.
JEN
No, it's alright.
But, just think, you're in good hands now.
You'll never about being misunderstood again.
EXT. CARRIE'S HOME – LATE AFTERNOON
The police van pulls up in front of an apartment building in a rather posh section of the downtown area of the city.
CARRIE
This is it.
BARNETT
Wow, this is nice.
JEREMY
(not impressed)
Not bad.
Alright, let's go.
Barnett parks the van and everyone gets out.
INT. CARRIE'S APARTMENT
Carrie opens the door to her apartment. The apartment is very spacious, there are two bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, a living room, and a window that overlooks the city.
Everyone is amazed at how Carrie lives.
LEE
Man, this is nice.
STARR
Where can we put our stuff?
CARRIE
Put it anywhere.
They drop their things and look around the apartment to check it out.
BARNETT
Well, I guess I'll be going.
Listen, I'll be back here tomorrow.
CARRIE
Okay.
Barnett leaves and closes the door behind him.
CARRIE
Alright, don't make a mess.
Katie…
KAY
It's Kay.
CARRIE
Kay, you and…Starr is it?
STARR
Yeah.
CARRIE
(pointing to her bedroom)
You two can sleep in here with me.
HECTOR
(flirting)
Hey, can I sleep in there too?
CARRIE
No.
HECTOR
(backing off)
Okay.
CARRIE
Jeremy; you, Lee, Jason, and Hector can sleep in the guess room.
JEREMY
That won't be necessary, I'll sleep on the couch.
CARRIE
No, you can sleep in…
JEREMY
I appreciate that, but I'll sleep on the couch.
CARRIE
Well, alright.
Other than that, make yourself at home.
Lee, Hector, Floyd, Kay, and Starr make themselves at home while Jeremy talks to Carrie.
JEREMY
Uh, Carrie?
CARRIE
Yes
JEREMY
Look, I just wanted to say thanks, for everything.
You've really helped us out.
CARRIE
No problem.
Jeremy joins the rest of the group.
EXT. THE CITY – 19th STREET – NIGHT
STEVE, a well-known drug dealer in the city, is on the street riding in his fancy car, which might have cost him a pretty penny, especially the fact that it cost $10,000 dollars. He rolls his window down and watches all of the ladies waving at him and calling his name. Steve stops at a corner of the street and gets out; he appears to be open for business. He waits for his usually flock of customers, mostly potheads and crack-addicts. A BOY, age 16, comes to Steve looking for drugs.
BOY
Hey, man, what do ya' got?
STEVE
Man, what do you need?
BOY
It doesn't matter.
STEVE
Let me show you what I got.
Steve goes to his car to show the boy what drugs he's got.
STEVE
(opening his trunk)
Well, this is it.
Take your pick.
He gets no answer from the boy.
STEVE
Dude?
Steve turns around and sees the boy surround by boys and girls dressed in black.
The boy was obviously a Lost Soul.
STEVE
What the hell is this?
Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a glass bottle hits Steve in the head, and that starts the Lost Souls attack. Tate appears from the alley, with Hannah beside him, watching the Lost Souls beat Steve senseless.
TATE
(to Hannah)
You see?
This is just an example of what's in store for all these ignorant people out here.
Pain and punishment.
(to the Lost Souls)
Enough!
The Lost Souls stop and move out of Tate's way as he walks toward Steve, with Hannah following him.
TATE
Hannah, come here.
Hannah goes to Tate, Tate hands her a gun…
TATE
You see him, he is what makes us what we are.
People like him make us feel like freaks, giving people these narcotics.
Go ahead, make him pay.
Hannah looks back at Tate, the Lost Souls, and down at Steve.
HANNAH
I'm sorry.
STEVE
No, please, don't!
She closes her eyes and pulls the trigger, shooting Steve in the face. Hannah is shocked at what she has just done.
TATE
Oh, well, another one bites the dust.
(to Hannah)
You did good.
(to the Lost Souls)
The night's still young, and we've got work to do.
Let's go!
Hannah stills stands over the now lifeless body of Steve, Erin sees Hannah and tries to console her.
ERIN
We have to go.
HANNAH
I just killed someone.
ERIN
Please, let's go.
Hannah and Erin flee the scene and catch up with the others.
INT. CARRIE'S APARTMENT
Carrie wakes up and leaves her bedroom where Kay and Starr are also sleeping. She goes into the bathroom, when she gets out, she sees Jeremy looking out the window. Wondering why he's still awake, she goes to him.
CARRIE
Jeremy?
It's 2:00 in the morning, what are you still doing up.
JEREMY
I heard gunshots.
They're out there.
CARRIE
Jeremy, It's late, you should get some rest.
JEREMY
I can't, I know they're out there.
CARRIE
Look, Sgt. Barnett will be here in the morning, if you want to stop them you need some sleep.
JEREMY
(sigh)
Alright, alright.
Jeremy goes to the couch and gets under his covers. Carrie goes back to her room.
CARRIE
Good night!
JEREMY
Good night, Carrie.
EXT. THE CITY – NIGHT
We get an aerial shot of the city; the lights from the skyscrapers in the downtown area shine bright on the streets and the cars on the expressways are moving steady on the road.
EXT. ALLEY
We pan down on a rough section of the city to find a young BLONDE GIRL, age 16, alone in the alley. No one is around…that is until two BOYS, both ages 19, spot her. By the way they approach her, they're up to no good.
BOY #1
Hey baby, what's up?
BOY #2
Yeah girl.
GIRL
Leave me alone, you jerks.
BOY #2
Oooh, this one's feisty, we like that.
BOY #1
Say baby, how about me and you go back to my place and…
He whispers something in her ear.
GIRL
(disgusted)
Ewww…get away from me you perverts.
The girl walks away from the two boys when they stop her.
BOY #1
Look, you're comin' with us whether you like it or not.
BOY #2
Yeah!
BOY #1
(grabbing her hand)
Now c'mon!
GIRL
I said No!
The girl hits one of them in the face and starts to run, but they catch up to her. The two boys grab the girl and throw her down to the ground, they now try to rip the girl's clothes off of her while she kicks and screams for help, but no one is around to hear her. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a PERSON standing in the SHADOWS of the alley appears.
SHADOWY FIGURE
Excuse me, gentlemen, but I believe the lady said "no."
BOY #2
Man, who the hell are you?
SHADOWY FIGURE
Oh…nobody.
(stepping from the shadows, revealing his face)
I'm just an outsider trying to survive out here.
BOY #1
Well, if you don't get outta here, you're gonna be a dead man.
SHADOWY FIGURE
Oh…I don't think so.
BOY #2
Wait, did you say outsider?
SHADOWY FIGURE
Mm-Hmm.
Realizing who he is, the two boys get up and run, the OUTSIDER whistles and SIX PEOPLE jump out of nowhere and grab the two boys. The six people are all dressed in black; some are even wearing trenchcoats. They beat the living daylights out of the two boys, the boys are defenseless; they continue to punch and kick the boys until they're ordered to stop by their leader.
OUTSIDER
STOP!
They stop. The boys are left bloody and bruised. The "Outsider" walks up to the boys who are now lying on the ground.
OUTSIDER
Next time, you'll listen to me.
This "Outsider" pulls out two guns and shoots both of the boys in the head. He now turns his attention to the girl.
OUTSIDER
Now, what to do with you.
GIRL
Are you going to kill me?
OUTSIDER
No, of course, that is if you'll join us.
GIRL
Join you?
OUTSIDER
I've seen you out here, all alone.
Join my Lost Souls.
The girl looks at this man in front of her, and the six people around him. He pulls out his hand and she grabs it. The girl decides to join him.
OUTSIDER
(to the girl)
You'll never have to worry about being hassled again, uh…what's your name?
GIRL
Hannah.
OUTSIDER
Well Hannah, you're safe with us now.
(to the Lost Souls)
Come on, let's go.
The Outsider, HANNAH, and his LOST SOULS leave, leaving the lifeless body of the two boys.
The screen fades to black, and the title appears: "OUTSIDER'S EDGE"
EXT. ALLEY – TWO HOURS LATER
Police arrive on the scene to investigate the murder of the two boys. SGT. MATTHEW BARNETT, now a little older than before, is there to find out what happened.
BARNETT
Alright, men what happen?
OFFICER
Their names are Thomas Simmons and Steven Nelson.
Both age 19, and both have previous criminal records.
BARNETT
So, what happened?
OFFICER
It looks like they were both shot in the head, and I don't think they did it to themselves.
BARNETT
Any witnesses?
OFFICER
Nope, there was no one around.
You think it was…well, you know?
BARNETT
God, I hope not.
OFFICER
But, I don't understand; I thought you sent the Outsider and the Lost Souls away.
BARNETT
I did, and that was six years ago.
I don't know what going on.
OFFICER
Okay, let's wrap'em up.
The paramedics on the scene wrap the two boys bodies in body bags and take them away.
EXT. WAREHOUSE
A BLACK VAN arrives at an old ABANDON WAREHOUSE in a deserted part of the city. The Outsider and the Lost Souls get out of the van along with their new member, Hannah.
INT. WAREHOUSE
Inside the warehouse are fifteen other people, ages 13 to 17, some are playing, others walking around, and a few of them are riding skateboards; waiting for the arrival of their leader, The Outsider. The Outsider and the Lost Souls arrive with Hannah; the other Lost Souls look at him as if he's a king and with curiosity for the girl with him.
OUTSIDER
(to Hannah)
Make yourself at home.
He heads upstairs to the second floor of the warehouse where he goes to a room with a bed, he takes off his trench coat and in the doorway is a GIRL in a wheelchair; this girl is JEN, now age 20. This could mean only one thing, the Outsider is none other than…
JEN
Tate, where were you?
TATE
Handling business.
JEN
Oh really?
Well, would this business have anything to do with those two boys that were found dead tonight?
TATE
How did you find out about that?
JEN
The news.
TATE
Oh.
JEN
Well?
TATE
Well what?
JEN
Were you involved?
TATE
Maybe.
JEN
Maybe?
(sigh)
Tate, why do you do this?
TATE
Because, there's ignorant people out there who deceive to die.
I'm just finishing what the Outsider did before he was caught.
JEN
(looking downstairs)
Who's the girl?
TATE
That's Hannah, we found her there.
She was being raped by those two assholes.
JEN
And you brought her here?
TATE
Yeah, so?
JEN
So, what about her family?
TATE
Who cares!
Besides, she was all alone, they probably deserted her like our parents did to us.
JEN
That was different, Tate.
Our parents were jerks, I know, but she's got to have a family.
And what about the Lost Souls?
TATE
What happened to you?
Remember, you were a Lost Soul too, you know.
You've changed ever since the Outsider was taken away.
JEN
That's because I've actually realized what I've been doing, I've been taking away innocent lives.
TATE
Like the Outsider would say, "there are no innocent victims."
That why I'm gonna start his 2H plan.
JEN
Not the 2H plan.
Do you know what will happen if you go through with that plan?
TATE
No, and I don't care.
JEN
Well, if you're going through with this, then I can't stand behind you.
I'm going to bed, goodnight.
TATE
Goodnight.
Jen rolls out of the room, and Tate goes to the ledge of the stairs, outside his room, where the Lost Souls are.
TATE
Lost Souls!
They all turn and look at him.
TATE
Lights out.
The Lost Souls go to different parts off the warehouse and go to sleep. Tate goes to his room and does the same thing. In a corner of the warehouse, Hannah sits frightened.
INT. POLICE STATION –MORNING
The police station is full of officers walking around drinking coffee and taking police reports. Barnett is in his office still trying to figure out these "Outsider" crimes.
BARNETT
Okay, any new leads?
OFFICER
No sir, still nothing.
BARNETT
Damn!
I still don't understand what's going on.
OFFICER
Also, this note came in last night.
BARNETT
What note?
The officer gives the note to Sgt. Barnett. Barnett reads the note word for word.
BARNETT
"Barnett, the city is about to be a warzone. Every ounce of ignorance, in this city, will be held hostage in my own concentration camp. Each person will be slaughtered for their cruelty and ignorance towards people like me, and my Lost Souls; not even you and your petty cops can't stop the 2H from happening. You stopped us before, but it won't happen again, so catch us…if you can. The Outsider."
OFFICER
God, this is serious.
What does 2H mean?
BARNETT
(remembering)
Second Holocaust
Oh no, we've got to stop this from happening.
Innocent people are going to die if we don't do something.
OFFICER
But what are we gonna do?
BARNETT
Let me think…
Sgt. Barnett tries to think of something until an idea comes to the officer.
OFFICER
Hey, why don't you go to the source?
BARNETT
What do you mean?
OFFICER
Why not go to the kid you put in the nuthouse.
BARNETT
Are you serious?
OFFICER
Maybe he knows something about this 2H thing.
The note said, "You've stopped us before," maybe there's a connection.
BARNETT
(after thinking about it)
You know, that's a good idea.
I'll go today.
OFFICER
Do you know where he is?
BARNETT
Yeah, I'll call first.
INT. WILLIAMS MENTAL INSTITUTION – LATE MORNING
Barnett arrives in the lobby of the Williams Mental Institution. He goes to the front desk for clearance; standing at the desk is a LADY.
BARNETT
Excuse me, but I'm here to see Dr. Moore.
LADY
Name please.
BARNETT
Matthew Barnett.
The lady looks through the papers to find his name.
LADY
Ah…I see it, if you will wait right there, he will be with you shortly.
BARNETT
Thank you.
Barnett sits down and wait. Thirty minutes go by, and until finally DR. MOORE comes in.
DR. MOORE
Sgt. Barnett?
BARNETT
Dr. Moore!
The two shake hands.
DR. MOORE
It's nice to meet you.
BARNETT
Thank you for answering my call.
DR. MOORE
Let's step into my office.
INT. DR. MOORE'S OFFICE
Dr. Moore and Barnett go into the office where, the lovely CARRIE STRONBERG sits waiting.
DR. MOORE
Sgt. Barnett, I would like for you to meet Carrie Stronberg.
CARRIE
(shaking Barnett's hand)
Hello!
BARNETT
Hi!
DR. MOORE
Please, sit down.
Barnett and Carrie both sit down in the chairs.
DR. MOORE
So, from what you've told me on the phone, you would like to talk to one our patients.
BARNETT
That's correct.
DR. MOORE
Which one, exactly?
BARNETT
The one called, The Outsider.
Dr. Moore and Carrie look at each other with doubtful looks on their faces.
CARRIE
You mean Jeremy?
BARNETT
Yeah, I guess.
DR. MOORE
Any particular reason?
BARNETT
I want to know if he knows anything about the latest killings going on in the city.
Apparently, another individual who calls himself the Outsider is causing them.
CARRIE
Well, you don't think it's him do you?
BARNETT
I just want to know if he can help find out a few things,
maybe he might know who the Outsider is.
DR. MOORE
Well, Jeremy isn't a very cooperative person to deal with.
CARRIE
Dr. Moore, maybe I should go in there with him.
DR. MOORE
If you insist.
Well, let's go see him shall we?
Dr. Moore, Barnett, and Carrie get up and walk out of the room to see the patient.
INT. JEREMY'S ROOM
The room looks familiar: a bed, a desk, and two chairs. Sitting in one of the chairs is JEREMY RAHSAAN GRIER a.k.a.THE OUTSIDER. Now 24-years-old, Jeremy is looking out the window in his room; one noticeable change is that the stitches over his left eye are gone and his eye is open, but his scar is still there. Suddenly, the door opens and in comes Dr. Moore and Carrie.
DR. MOORE
Good morning, Jeremy.
Jeremy says nothing.
CARRIE
Hi, Jeremy!
He still remains silent.
DR. MOORE
Um…there's someone here to see you.
(to Barnett)
Come on in.
Barnett comes in and Jeremy becomes hostile and gets out of his chair.
CARRIE
(trying to calm down Jeremy)
Relax, he's not going to hurt you, he just wants to talk to you.
Jeremy becomes calm sits back down in the chair, and Barnett sits down in the other chair.
BARNETT
Jeremy, you might not know me, but…
JEREMY
(finally talking)
I know who you are.
BARNETT
You do?
JEREMY
How could I forget the man who's responsible for me being here?
BARNETT
Well, that was six years ago.
JEREMY
And I still haven't forgotten it.
BARNETT
(looking at Jeremy's eye)
I see they've fixed your eye…
JEREMY
(frustrated)
What do you want?
BARNETT
Look, I need your help.
There's this guy out there who's committing these murders in…
JEREMY
(cutting him off)
What does that have to do with me?
BARNETT
He calls himself the Outsider.
Jeremy looks at him when he hears this.
JEREMY
What?
BARNETT
That's right, he apparently wants to start something that you didn't finish.
Something about 2H.
JEREMY
(remembering)
Second Holocaust.
BARNETT
Yeah, I know.
JEREMY
Yeah, I had a plan where I would take all of the ignorant people in the city, and destroy them. So, what do you want from me?
BARNETT
I want you to help me stop him before people get hurt.
JEREMY
No!
BARNETT
Why not?
JEREMY
Because, maybe I just don't want to help you.
Maybe he should go ahead and kill those bastards out there.
BARNETT
Innocent people are going to die, don't you even care?
JEREMY
Look at me, do I look like I care?
BARNETT
Okay, but if this happens, he might go for you.
JEREMY
I doubt it.
BARNETT
Wanna bet?
(giving up)
I don't even know why I'm here.
Barnett gets up out of the chair and heads for the door when…
JEREMY
Wait!
Barnett sits back down.
JEREMY
Let me just say that I don't give a damn about you or the people, but I'm a little curious about who this new Outsider is, so…I'll help you.
BARNETT
(getting happy)
Well, alright.
JEREMY
But on one condition.
BARNETT
What is it?
JEREMY
I want my family to come with me.
BARNETT
Your family?
JEREMY
The Lost Souls.
BARNETT
Oh, no!
Sorry, but I can't do that.
JEREMY
Why not?
You're letting me out, why can't you let them out too?
BARNETT
Because, most of them are dead.
JEREMY
(devastated)
Dead?
BARNETT
They died in jail.
Only five of them are still alive.
JEREMY
Well, then bring them.
BARNETT
No, I just want you.
JEREMY
I can't do this alone.
If you don't want them, then you obviously don't want me.
BARNETT
(after thinking it over)
Alright, it's a deal.
CARRIE
And if you want, I'll go with you.
BARNETT
Are you sure you want to do that?
CARRIE
Hey, it'll be something new for me.
BARNETT
Well, alright then.
JEREMY
(to himself)
I don't believe this.
I can't believe I'm helping the same people that put me away.
(sigh)
Alright, when do we begin?
CUT TO:
EXT. WILLIAWS MENTAL INSTITUTION
The gates outside the institution open and out come Barnett, Carrie, and Jeremy. Jeremy wears dark pants, a dark shirt, and a pair of sunglasses. A brown jacket now replaces his usual trenchcoat. The bright sun shines in Jeremy's face.
BARNETT
So, how does it feel to be out?
JEREMY
No different than when I came in.
I don't even know what's going on in this city.
CARRIE
Well, other than the killings, there's not that much going on.
BARNETT
C'mon, let's go.
Barnett points to a police van parked on the curb.
JEREMY
You mean to tell me that we're leaving in this?
BARNETT
What were you expecting, a limo?
This was all I could get.
JEREMY
(sarcastically)
Oh, this is nice.
So, where are we going?
BARNETT
To pick up your family.
All three go into the police van and drive off.
INT. GREENSBURG MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON
A SECURITY GUARD walks past the cells as the sound of prisoners yelling and screaming is heard throughout the prison. He stops at cellblock 8 where LEE STACKHOUSE and JASON FLOYD, both ages 22, are held.
GUARD
Stackhouse, Floyd get dressed, you're out of here.
LEE
What?
GUARD
You're free.
FLOYD
Wait, did you say free?
GUARD
Yeah.
FLOYD
(happily)
Alright.
The guard continues to walk and stops at cellblock 12 where we find HECTOR TORRES, age 22, lying on his bed.
GUARD
Torres!
HECTOR
What do you want?
GUARD
Get up, you're free to go.
HECTOR
I am?
GUARD
Yeah, now get out of here.
HECTOR
(enthusiastic)
Cool!
Well, see ya' later, Jim!
EXT. GREENSBURG MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON
The gates open outside where the three former prisoners are standing.
FLOYD
Man, I can't believe we're out.
LEE
Yeah, and after only six years.
FLOYD
Those had to be the worst years of my life.
Hector looks and sees a police van ready for them.
HECTOR
Man, what the hell is this?
They walk towards the van to find Barnett standing outside.
BARNETT
Congratulations, boys
LEE
You!
What are you doing here?
BARNETT
Hey, for your information, I'm the one who bailed you three out.
HECTOR
Oh, yeah?
What for?
The door opens and out comes Jeremy.
JEREMY
Because we've got work to do.
A look of shock comes to the faces of Lee, Hector, and Floyd.
LEE
Outsider?
Is that you?
JEREMY
Yes, it's me.
LEE
(excited, hugging Jeremy)
Ah man!
I don't believe it, I thought that…
JEREMY
(cutting Lee off)
I was in the nuthouse?
LEE
Yeah!
JEREMY
Well, I'm out, and we've got to go.
HECTOR
Go?
Go where?
BARNETT
We have to pick up two more people.
JEREMY
And…call me Jeremy.
LEE
(to Floyd)
Jeremy?
JEREMY
Come on!
They all get into the van and on to the next stop.
INT. MILLER CORRECTIONAL FACILITY
MAGDALENA STARR and KATIE JENSEN a.k.a."KAY," both ages 22, are eating in the prison cafeteria when a guard interrupts them.
GUARD
Starr, Jensen; come with me.
KAY
But we didn't do anything.
GUARD
Just come on.
They follow the guard.
CUT TO:
EXT. MILLER CORRECTIONAL FACILITY
Everyone waits outside, until they see Starr and Kay in the distance.
STARR
(looking)
What a minute, is that who I think it is?
KAY
(also looking)
It is!
Starr and Kay run to the van where Hector, Lee, and Floyd are standing. Starr hugs Hector and Lee.
STARR
(still hugging Lee and Hector)
Oh, can't believe it.
I thought we'd never see you guys again.
LEE
Yeah, that's exactly what we thought.
KAY
How did you get out?
FLOYD
We were bailed out, just like you.
KAY
I wonder who did that?
FLOYD
(pointing to Barnett)
He did.
Barnett comes around the van. Starr and Kay also remember who he is.
STARR
You did this?
BARNETT
That's right.
KAY
(angrily)
Why?
After what you did?
BARNETT
Hey, he wanted you two to come.
STARR
Who?
Jeremy appears from around the van.
JEREMY
I did.
Starr and Kay can't believe it, the Outsider is back. Kay gets emotional and hugs Jeremy.
KAY
Hi!
How are you?
JEREMY
I've been better.
STARR
We missed you.
JEREMY
And I missed all of you.
It's just too bad David, D.L., and Cleo died, otherwise we'd all be back together.
LEE
Yeah.
HECTOR
What was it that you wanted us for?
BARNETT
We'll have enough time for that, but we have to go.
They all get in the van and Hector talks to Carrie.
HECTOR
So, who might you be?
CARRIE
I'm Carrie, Jeremy's psychiatrist.
STARR
Jeremy?
JEREMY
Yeah, that's my real name.
KAY
I never knew that.
LEE
I guess there's a lot we didn't know.
The van drives off.
INT. WAREHOUSE
Hannah is sitting at a table when THREE GIRLS appear in front of her, one girl has SHORT BLONDE HAIR, another girl has LONG BROWN HAIR, and the last girl has CURLY RED HAIR. Hannah becomes scared.
TAMMY
Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you.
HANNAH
What do you want?
TAMMY
We just wanted to introduce ourselves to you.
I'm Tammy
ERIN
I'm Erin.
ALLIE
And I'm Allie.
HANNAH
I'm Hannah.
ALLIE
(sitting down)
So, where did he find you?
HANNAH
In an alley, two guys were about to rape me.
ERIN
That's bad.
He's found us after our father abused us.
HANNAH
(confused)
Us?
TAMMY
Erin and I are sisters.
HANNAH
Oh.
ALLIE
We're three of his most trusted Lost Souls.
He calls us his "Fates."
ERIN
Don't worry, nothing bad will happen to you as long as you're a Lost Soul.
TAMMY
Yeah.
HANNAH
What do you mean?
From out of nowhere, Tate shouts.
TATE
Lost Souls!
ALLIE
We'll let the Outsider explain.
Tate helps Jen go downstairs with her wheelchair and the Lost Souls form a line like soldiers in the Army.
TATE
Alright, as if you didn't know, we have a new member; say Hi to Hannah.
Hannah is still a little scared and a few of the Lost Souls look at her with mean looks, except for Allie, Tammy, and Erin.
TATE
Now, I want you treat her with the respect that the rest of society didn't give her.
Jen, give her a uniform.
Jen goes over to a corner of the warehouse were there lies a number of black clothes laying down. She picks out a black leather jacket and gives it to Tate.
TATE
Thanks.
JEN
(sarcastically)
Don't mention it.
He gives the jacket to Hannah and she puts it on.
TATE
You're a Lost Soul now, Hannah.
It's official, is now a true member of the Lost Souls. Jen shakes her head in disappointment.
EXT. RESTAURANT
Barnett, Carrie, Jeremy, and the former Lost Souls are eating at the restaurant's outdoor table.
KAY
(about to eat her food)
Finally, some real food.
HECTOR
Okay, now that we're all here, what's going on?
BARNETT
There's these…
JEREMY
(interrupting Barnett)
I'll tell them.
Well, because we've all been locked up, someone has been doing all these killings out here.
LEE
So?
JEREMY
That someone has been using our names.
STARR
What do you mean?
JEREMY
The person who's been doing this calls himself the Outsider, and the people who are with him call themselves the Lost Souls.
BARNETT
And it turns out that there maybe a connection between you guys and these killers.
FLOYD
How so?
BARNETT
We got a letter from this Outsider.
It says that, he's going to started something that you didn't finish.
KAY
What could that be?
JEREMY
The 2H plan.
LEE
The Second Holocaust?
JEREMY
That's right.
HECTOR
But how could he know about that?
BARNETT
In the letter it also said that, "you've stopped us before."
CARRIE
So this means that this Outsider could be one of your younger recruits.
JEREMY
But there were a lot of the younger recruits, so it could be anybody.
BARNNET
That's why I need you're help to stop them.
STARR
Why us?
I mean, you're a police officer, why can't you and the police do it yourselves?
JEREMY
That's what I said.
BARNETT
Because you guys are more familiar with this than we are.
FLOYD
In other words, you don't know jack shit about what's going on do you?
BARNETT
You know, if you want I can't take you back to jail, so you can spend the rest of you life as somebody's bitch.
FLOYD
Fuck you.
BARNETT
No, fuck you!
CARRIE
Will you two stop!
Look, this is important.
If they aren't stopped, a lot of people are going to be dead.
JEREMY
Carrie's right.
So, Barnett, what's the plan?
HECTOR
Wait, first of all, where are we going to stay?
CARRIE
If you want, you can all stay with me.
JEREMY
Are you sure about that?
CARRIE
No, it's okay.
I don't mind.
HECTOR
(getting a little closer to Carrie)
Neither do I.
JEREMY
Hector, knock it off, man.
Hector moves further away from Carrie.
INT. WAREHOUSE
Hannah is sitting down; watching the other Lost Souls play and walk around, even though she's one of them now, some of them are still giving her dirty looks. Jen sees Hannah, so decides to go and comfort her.
JEN
Hi.
HANNAN
Hi.
JEN
So, how do you like being a Lost Soul so far?
HANNAH
It's an interesting lifestyle everyone lives.
Where do you play in all of this?
JEN
The Outsider is my brother.
HANNAH
(shocked)
Really?
JEN
Yeah, and it's not that bad.
The both of us use to be Lost Souls, there was another guy that called himself the Outsider, and we did the same thing that they're doing now.
HANNAH
(looking at Jen's wheelchair)
What happened to you?
JEN
It's a long story, I really don't want to talk about it.
HANNAH
Oh, sorry.
JEN
No, it's alright.
But, just think, you're in good hands now.
You'll never about being misunderstood again.
EXT. CARRIE'S HOME – LATE AFTERNOON
The police van pulls up in front of an apartment building in a rather posh section of the downtown area of the city.
CARRIE
This is it.
BARNETT
Wow, this is nice.
JEREMY
(not impressed)
Not bad.
Alright, let's go.
Barnett parks the van and everyone gets out.
INT. CARRIE'S APARTMENT
Carrie opens the door to her apartment. The apartment is very spacious, there are two bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, a living room, and a window that overlooks the city.
Everyone is amazed at how Carrie lives.
LEE
Man, this is nice.
STARR
Where can we put our stuff?
CARRIE
Put it anywhere.
They drop their things and look around the apartment to check it out.
BARNETT
Well, I guess I'll be going.
Listen, I'll be back here tomorrow.
CARRIE
Okay.
Barnett leaves and closes the door behind him.
CARRIE
Alright, don't make a mess.
Katie…
KAY
It's Kay.
CARRIE
Kay, you and…Starr is it?
STARR
Yeah.
CARRIE
(pointing to her bedroom)
You two can sleep in here with me.
HECTOR
(flirting)
Hey, can I sleep in there too?
CARRIE
No.
HECTOR
(backing off)
Okay.
CARRIE
Jeremy; you, Lee, Jason, and Hector can sleep in the guess room.
JEREMY
That won't be necessary, I'll sleep on the couch.
CARRIE
No, you can sleep in…
JEREMY
I appreciate that, but I'll sleep on the couch.
CARRIE
Well, alright.
Other than that, make yourself at home.
Lee, Hector, Floyd, Kay, and Starr make themselves at home while Jeremy talks to Carrie.
JEREMY
Uh, Carrie?
CARRIE
Yes
JEREMY
Look, I just wanted to say thanks, for everything.
You've really helped us out.
CARRIE
No problem.
Jeremy joins the rest of the group.
EXT. THE CITY – 19th STREET – NIGHT
STEVE, a well-known drug dealer in the city, is on the street riding in his fancy car, which might have cost him a pretty penny, especially the fact that it cost $10,000 dollars. He rolls his window down and watches all of the ladies waving at him and calling his name. Steve stops at a corner of the street and gets out; he appears to be open for business. He waits for his usually flock of customers, mostly potheads and crack-addicts. A BOY, age 16, comes to Steve looking for drugs.
BOY
Hey, man, what do ya' got?
STEVE
Man, what do you need?
BOY
It doesn't matter.
STEVE
Let me show you what I got.
Steve goes to his car to show the boy what drugs he's got.
STEVE
(opening his trunk)
Well, this is it.
Take your pick.
He gets no answer from the boy.
STEVE
Dude?
Steve turns around and sees the boy surround by boys and girls dressed in black.
The boy was obviously a Lost Soul.
STEVE
What the hell is this?
Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a glass bottle hits Steve in the head, and that starts the Lost Souls attack. Tate appears from the alley, with Hannah beside him, watching the Lost Souls beat Steve senseless.
TATE
(to Hannah)
You see?
This is just an example of what's in store for all these ignorant people out here.
Pain and punishment.
(to the Lost Souls)
Enough!
The Lost Souls stop and move out of Tate's way as he walks toward Steve, with Hannah following him.
TATE
Hannah, come here.
Hannah goes to Tate, Tate hands her a gun…
TATE
You see him, he is what makes us what we are.
People like him make us feel like freaks, giving people these narcotics.
Go ahead, make him pay.
Hannah looks back at Tate, the Lost Souls, and down at Steve.
HANNAH
I'm sorry.
STEVE
No, please, don't!
She closes her eyes and pulls the trigger, shooting Steve in the face. Hannah is shocked at what she has just done.
TATE
Oh, well, another one bites the dust.
(to Hannah)
You did good.
(to the Lost Souls)
The night's still young, and we've got work to do.
Let's go!
Hannah stills stands over the now lifeless body of Steve, Erin sees Hannah and tries to console her.
ERIN
We have to go.
HANNAH
I just killed someone.
ERIN
Please, let's go.
Hannah and Erin flee the scene and catch up with the others.
INT. CARRIE'S APARTMENT
Carrie wakes up and leaves her bedroom where Kay and Starr are also sleeping. She goes into the bathroom, when she gets out, she sees Jeremy looking out the window. Wondering why he's still awake, she goes to him.
CARRIE
Jeremy?
It's 2:00 in the morning, what are you still doing up.
JEREMY
I heard gunshots.
They're out there.
CARRIE
Jeremy, It's late, you should get some rest.
JEREMY
I can't, I know they're out there.
CARRIE
Look, Sgt. Barnett will be here in the morning, if you want to stop them you need some sleep.
JEREMY
(sigh)
Alright, alright.
Jeremy goes to the couch and gets under his covers. Carrie goes back to her room.
CARRIE
Good night!
JEREMY
Good night, Carrie.
