As the Connecticut State Police chopper hovers over head to the one side of the Compound, a black D.E.A. chopper moves in on the other side. Sirens can be heard closing in faster and faster.


DEA CHOPPER: “THIS IS SPECIAL AGENT JOHN CARTER OF THE FEDERAL DRUG ENFORCEMENT AGENCY!

“WE HAVE YOU SURROUNDED!”


Duke looks around, almost aimlessly. Not sure exactly what to do.


SEBASTIAN DUKE: “DON’T JUST STAND THERE! SCATTER! GET HIM THE HELL OUT OF THAT GUILLOTINE!

“WE NEED CONFUSION!

“LOTS OF IT!”


The Brothers never hesitate. They do as instructed. Basically running all over the damn place causing as much confusion for law enforcement as they possibly can.

Duke and Silas run toward the guard shack and the front gates as the choppers continue to hover in their unsuccessful attempts to land. They reach the gates and peek down the road on both sides. Sirens and lights coming from both ends.

They burst through the door of the guard shack.


SEBASTIAN DUKE: “Whatever you do, do not fire! Do NOT open that gate!”

GUARD: “Sir? What the hell is going on here?”

SEBASTIAN DUKE: “I don’t have time to explain right now! I’m not sure exactly! Just do as I say!”

GUARD: “What if they bust through the gate, Mr. Duke?”

SEBASTIAN DUKE: “Oh they will! Just don’t open it! Let them work for it! Order those guards, DO NOT FIRE!”


Duke and Silas burst back out of the guard shack and back toward the rear of the Compound. They round the corner just in time to notice Jonathan choking Jacob with his shackles. Duke looks toward the gates and sees the first of law enforcement burst right through the gates leaving them a bent and twisted mess. He looks back at Jacob and Jonathan. Jonathan is nowhere to be found and Jacob lays on the ground gasping for air.


SEBASTIAN DUKE: “FUCK! WHERE DID HE GO!?”

SILAS: “THERE!”


Silas points off into the distance. Jonathan is running toward the rear of the property and the fence. He has quite a ways to go yet.


SILAS: “What the hell is he doing? It’s electrified!”

SEBASTIAN DUKE: “Not now! They busted through the gates. Broke the circuit.”


Hovering lower, the agent in the DEA chopper again comes over the radio.


DEA CHOPPER: “ALLOW THESE CHOPPERS TO LAND OR WE WILL OPEN FIRE!”


Duke and Silas start running after Silas. Moments later, agents and police within the choppers open fire toward the ground. Everybody hit’s the deck.

Slowly, the hovering choppers descend to their landings. Duke, realizing there are more men on his side than law enforcement is first to his feet. Jonathan, on the ground, peeks back toward Duke and sees him in a crouched position running toward him. He doesn’t hesitate. He jumps to his feet and starts running the long distance toward the fence.

Many of the Brothers notice and give chase as well. As Duke runs by Silas on the ground, he grabs his robe then continues to run toward Jonathan. Silas pokes his head up and notices Duke running as fast as he can toward Jonathan. He jumps to his feet and resumes the chase. Behind them all, the law enforcement officials are right on their heels.

As they pass the DEA chopper that just landed, an agent jumps out and pulls Silas to the ground. When they land on the ground, the agent loses his grip on Silas and Silas rolls through the landing. Silas’s hood falls down off his head. The agent smiles at Silas and Silas takes off running. The agent runs after him and quickly catches up and tackles him to the ground. Silas somehow wiggles free. Both Silas and the agent get to their feet in a hurry. The agent swings, aiming for Silas’s jaw.

Silas ducks the punch, grabs the agents arm and tosses him over his shoulder, flipping the agent onto his back. Silas takes off.

Duke is closing in on Jonathan, not noticing the action going on between Silas and one of the DEA agents.

Silas, a bit smaller than Sebastian Duke, closes in quickly. Now running almost side by side.


SEBASTIAN DUKE: “The fuck you been?”

SILAS: “Stupid agent.

“I think he recognizes me.”


The agent resumes his chase. Much farther behind then he’d like, he pulls out his gun. He points it in the direction of Silas.



Duke and Silas continue to run toward Jonathan, finally, just feet away from the fence…



The agent squeezes his trigger…



A round is fired…



Out of the corner of his eye, Sebastian sees Silas hit the dirt. A split second later Duke hit’s the dirt as well.



Seemingly, all is quiet in Dukes mind. Although in reality it’s a very noisy situation. As he lays on the ground he peeks back at Silas just barely ten feet behind him…



Silas lays face first on the ground…



Not moving…



Sebastian immediately thinks the worst…



Then it happens…



Silas finally pokes his head up…



Sebastian squeezes his eyes shut. Thankful Silas wasn’t collateral damage…



The agent walks toward Silas. With a cocky swagger. Duke opens his eyes and watches as the agent spins Silas over onto his back. The agent kneels down, pinning Silas’s arms down beneath his knees.



The agent puts his gun to Silas’s head…



SILAS: “Duke! JONATHAN!”



Duke looks up at Jonathan trying to climb the fence. Then back at Silas with that agents gun to his head.



He jumps to his feet…



What will he do?



Will he go after Jonathan?



Or honor his word to protect Silas, who has by now probably became Sebastians best-friend?
