INT. PRISON - DAY
A man named LUCIUS Efronite is being pulled along by a guard. The guard then sits him by a window phone. The person next to the Phone is none other then his brother SIMON.
SIMON
I'm surprised you can sit down, must hurt.
LUCIUS
He smiles
Well its good to see your sense of humor hasn't left.
SIMON
Well it’s only been 2 months, people cant change that fast.
LUCIUS
I have. What did all of that stuff do for me SIMON? Nothing, it ruined me, look where I am.
SIMON
It made you the most powerful man in the City. Men would kill for less than you had.
LUCIUS
And I killed men who had less than me, just so I could continue getting richer, and richer.
SIMON
And richer. What about the house you bought for Mom? Do you think, now answer this truthfully-
LUCIUS
Go.
SIMON
Do you honestly think, that if you would have kept that job at grocery store, she would have that house?
LUCIUS
That doesn't make it okay.
SIMON
Did you see her face when you showed it to her?
LUCIUS
Rolls his eyes and shakes his head. He wants to pretend he didn't hear that and take the conversation in a new direction.
The sentence was reduced to 3 years. When I'm gone, I want you clean out the business.
SIMON
Your Joking.
LUCIUS
I'm serious. I want updates on it every month.
SIMON
What about him?
LUCIUS
RAY? Leave him go. The cops paid him his due already. He'll be less of a hassle if we leave him go.
SIMON
Wait, so the man stormed inside your office, kicked your ass, and then blew up your house, that guy, we are just going to forget him? Kind of funny.
LUCIUS
This is no laughing matter SIMON.
Fade to black. The main score plays, a violin theme similar to Shindlers list( but its not). Up on the screen comes the name Clive Owen, followed by Jim Carrey, Kurt Russel, Natalie Portman, and Jack Black.
Fade, in slowly to outside a courtroom, on the screen, the words say "2 year after release from prison". Many reporters are crowding Efronite, asking him questions.
REPORTER
Efronite, you have gone from feared drug dealer to loved business man in a matter of 5 years, how did you pull it off?
LUCIUS
Well, when your in prison you learn things about yourself that surprises, well, yourself.
REPORTER
Today you are paying a family 30 Thousand dollars in cash, why so much?
LUCIUS
The Man who was the father and husband of this family was also a frequent consumer of my drugs. He lost control over his habit and it killed him. I am responsible for this, and I myself am obligated to make it right.
REPORTER
Do you really think money can buy forgiveness?
LUCIUS
Well, it took a long time for me to say sorry, 5 years. So I can only Imagine that it would take Twice as long for them To forgive Me. As for the 30 thousand dollars, we found that this man had spent a estimated 3000 dollars a year on my drugs, so I think it would be only right to pay his family back Tenfold.
The screen Moves back, until we see it being played on a TV, in a crappy looking room. The TV is small, old, and wooden on the sides. We then see that Its being watched by Tough RAY. A man, with an eye patch, and a scruff, man of men style appearance.
INTER CUT between Tough RAY and TV.
Tough RAY is sitting, looking at the TV, when he starts to flash back.
INT: POLICE CHIEF office, night.
Two Police officers burst through the door, with RAY.
POLICE CHIEF
Have a seat.
The two policemen force him to sit down. the chief then motions for them to leave.
RAY
What do you wan't.
POLICE CHIEF
Mr....RAY, how familiar are you with LUCIUS Efronite??
RAY
Some big shot who made some money, what about em?
POLICE CHIEF.
Yes, big shot. Big shot who reportedly wen't from bieng grocery store workers to multimillionare gangsters in a matter of 2 years.
RAY
You wan't me to kill him?
POLICE CHIEF
Yes, but fail.
RAY
Fail?
POLICE CHIEF
Yes. He is to powerful for us to get him, but you can. You were a soldier in guerilla warfare, disapeared for 2 years, and are now legally dead. No family members, no birthdate, and only one alias. We wan't it to look like you were trying to kill him. Then, bring him to us. In secret.
RAY
Ha, so you know me? But, Chief, how well do you know me?
POLICE CHIEF
*Pulls out a suitcase filled with a lot of money*
This well.
CUT TO:
- RAY kicking down a door
- Beating up LUCIUS.
- A house exploding.
EXT: LUCIUS' apartment.
PUDDY
Soldier
JACKIE Shakes her head no, and Continues on.
PUDDY
Its uh, its uh.
Snaps his fingers.
I got it, I got it, its so simple now. Your obviously a ninja.
JACKIE
Holy McJesus PUDDY, Sometimes I think your too f*ckin stupid for your own good.
PUDDY
Your the stupid one.
JACKIE
How is that, PUDDY?
PUDDY
You Talked, Theres no Talking in charades.
They Look at each Other. and Laugh.
Suddenly, on the Television set, a Lucky charms Commercial Comes on. JACKIE and PUDDY Look at each other with Disgust.
JACKIE
gah! What is this?
PUDDY
Lucky Charms.
JACKIE
GAH, this is Racist!
PUDDY
I know, Irishmen arent all leprechauns, some are as tall as 5 feet!
They Both Laugh Hysterically.
JACKIE
PUDDY?
PUDDY
Yes Jack?
JACKIE
Dont call me Jack.
PUDDY
What!!!!!
JACKIE
Do you wanna stop
Her Accent changes from Irish to American.
Using Irish Accents?
PUDDY
He looks, almost blankly, back at her.
Yes, yes I f'n doodle do.
All of a sudden, SIMON Walks Through The door.
SIMON
Where is LUCIUS.
JACKIE
He didn't get back from church yet.
SIMON
You, you've got to be kidding me.
PUDDY
Nope, He goes very other week now.
SIMON
SIMON looks at PUDDY, then at JACKIE
Your not using your Irish accents. Thats the first time in 3 days, thank God.
Why do you guy's talk in those accents anyway?
JACKIE
Because our last name is Mcarthy.
SIMON
........I see.
SIMON gets a card from his pocket.
I got this card from the gym I belong to. Maybe you should check it out PUDDY.
PUDDY
Yeah, Ill think about it
SIMON
Well thats good, But don't think too hard.
PUDDY
Dont suck to hard.
JACKIE
Thats enough
SIMON
Walks out of the house, with a SMILE on his face.
PUDDY
f*cker.
INT. Church, NIGHT.
SIMON is walking out of church
PRIEST
Thank you for coming
LUCIUS
No problem, father, I have many things to repent for
PRIEST
Well your doing a good Job of it so far!
Laughs.
SIMON Walks out.
EXT. CITY STREETS, NIGHT.
SIMON walks out of church, its raining. He is slouching his posture and walking with fast steps. He looks for a taxi.
LUCIUS
Taxi!
He tries to wave one down, but it does not stop. So he decides to take a shortcut in the alley. He keeps getting a feeling, as if hes being watched. He stops to catch a breath, when he hears a voice.
MAN
Hey, Efronite, look what you did to me!
LUCIUS
Oh my God, DAVE, you, you look terrible, what happened.
DAVE
When you went clean, I didn't have my drugs, I couldn't, I couldn't function, I needed that high.
LUCIUS
That high will only bring you down in the long run.
DAVE
Pulls out a gun.
Yeah, well now I'm bringing you down.
He is about to shoot, when out of nowhere, a shuriken blade hits DAVE right in the temple, he twitches, and then dies. LUCIUS is shocked, and he doesnt know what to do. he goes up to DAVE, and takes out the shuriken. He sees a SMILE on it. Then, all of a sudden, a piece of paper hits LUCIUS in the head. He opens up the paper, and it says "300, 1 month left". He then looks up at the rooftop, and sees him.
CUT TO: ROOFTOP.
We see the notorious Killer, the SMILE. A man about 6 feet, He is wearing all black. You cant see his face, but over his black mask, there is a yellow. SMILEy face Painted on. He quickly Jumps up, and disappears into the night.
INT. LUCIUS'S HOUSE - NIGHT
LUCIUS rushes in the house, he seems shocked and shaken up.
LUCIUS
Holy shit, Holy shit, holy f*ck.
JACKIE comes running to his side.
JACKIE
Hey, Hey, sit down.
PUDDY
Whats wrong with him?
LUCIUS starts to breath hard.
JACKIE
LUCIUS, LUCIUS, your scaring me.
LUCIUS
DAVE, he, he's d-d-d-d
JACKIE
Dead? DAVE's dead? DAVE who?
LUCIUS
Composes himself
DAVE was one of my "workers" before I got arrested, GULP. He, he was the guy who would bring me my due money. He was a good guy, but he was a drugiac.
PUDDY and JACKIE
Drugiac?
LUCIUS
Drug Maniac. He couldn't stop using them, today, in the alley, he tried to kill me.
JACKIE
Why?
LUCIUS
Once I went straight.
PUDDY
Dude, use a different word.
LUCIUS
Okay, once I went - Why arent you speaking in your Irish accents?
JACKIE
We didn't feel like it anymore.
LUCIUS
Well then, umm, once I went clean, he couldn't get drugs, he was broke, and nobody would sell them to him. He needed the drugs, after being that dependent on them, without them its like dying. Thats why he targeted me, he saw me as his obstacle to his happiness, or at least his piece of mind. But you know, tis just an educated guess.
JACKIE
What happened after he tried to kill you?
LUCIUS
Some Man, some man on top of the roof, threw a blade in his temple, and he died, he twitched first, then foamed at the mouth, and died.
Pulls out the shuriken.
PUDDY
HOLY SHIT! A NINJA SHURIKEN! AH MAN THE BLOODS ON THERE TOO, f'n AWESOMENESS!
JACKIE
Thats f'n gross. I'm going to throw up. Who threw it at him?
LUCIUS
It was all black, I mean HE, HE was all black, I could barely see him. but on the face, there was a SMILE, its like it was laughing at me.
Pulls out note
Then he gave me this.
JACKIE
"300, one month left". I don't get it.
PUDDY
One month left, obviously means a countdown.
LUCIUS
But a countdown to what, A countdown to what?
JACKIE
Something important probably.When are you going to call SIMON?
LUCIUS
Not for a day or Two, I need some rest.
INT. RAY'S APARTMENT.
RAY is in his bedroom, he is leaning against a wall. But something is different. He isn't wearing an eye patch! and his eye is fine! The room is broken and torn, there are holes in the walls, in the floors, and in the ceiling. All of a sudden an alarm goes off, and we realize that he was sleeping. He wakes up, composes himself, and goes up to the wall in front of him.
RAY
I think today would be perfect.
Then, he gets his right fist, and punches a hole in the wall, , then, he punches another hole with his other hand. With both hands in the holes, he pulls himself up, doing 100 pull ups.
He then goes downstairs, goes in the fridge, gets out an egg, and eats it, whole.
Then, he goes up to a drawer, and pulls out his black fingerless gloves, and a cigar. He puts the cigar in his mouth, and starts chewing.
Then, he reaches on the table, gets his eye patch, and walks out the door.
EXT. ALLEYWAY, NIGHT.
About 13 guys are standing , smoking, and drinking. The all seem like pretty rough guys.
THUG 1
Okay, so whoever this was told us to meet him here, well He's not here, I say we go.
THUG 2
No man, This guys said he would give us all a swell beating, I wanna see what he has to say when we make his mouth too bloody to talk.
CUT TO: ROOFTOP.
RAY is sitting, waiting.
RAY
Patience is a virtue fella's, patience is a virtue.
RAY sits and looks, then spits out his cigar.
RAY
Time to kick ass.
He goes to jump down from the rooftop, but then, all of a sudden, two knives go through the two THUGs chests, they are dead instantly. RAY is surprised, he cant believe it!
All of the other guys running away, but RAY decides that he is going to have a little more fun. So he chases them down, until they are cornered.
RAY
Okay, you worthless pieces of undesirable scum, unfortunately for you, it time to die.
THUG
Listen man, I was never good with math, But there are 11 of us, and one of you.
RAY pulls out a pistol, and shoots 6 bullets, killing 6 men.
RAY
Now its more even
THUG
GULP, well, your almost put of bullets, and we still have 5 -
RAY pulls out another gun, and shoots 3 guys, killing them instantly.
RAY
Well, you have 2 now, I guess the odds are still against me huh?
RAY is about to kill the 2 men, when all of a sudden, a third man not seen before tries to hit RAY from behind, with a crowbar. RAY turns around, dodges it, and fires the last bullet, into his head. He then drops the gun, and garbs the guys crowbar. He then throws the crowbar At the other THUGs temple, killing him instantly.
The last remaining THUG, in a desperately rage filled act, pulls out his gun, and shoots at RAY.
Like lightning, RAY catches the bullet in his fingers, and looks at it.
RAY
Hmmm, nice bullets, Id say that you paid less for the actual gun.
THUG
What, the fu -
RAY throws the bullet, straight on, into the THUGs throat. The THUG falls down, squirming for air, and then dies.
RAY
Hmm, I guess that was a good workout. I don't feel that great, was a little off my game. I guess Ill go check on those two b*tches who got f'n knifed in the chests.
RAY walks down 3 blocks to the sight where the two men were laying. He lights up a cigar.
RAY
There gone!
Then, He sees The SMILE,and with a flash, the SMILE disappears from RAYs view.
INT. LUCIUS' HOUSE - DAY
LUCIUS, JACKIE, and PUDDY are all sitting around the house. There is an awkward silence around them, as if the apartment is cut off from the world.
PUDDY
Maybe, maybe it was just some dude?
LUCIUS
Im sorry, run that by me again?
PUDDY
Yeah, you know, like just some freak in a costume.
LUCIUS
WHAT
JACKIE
I think he might be right Lucy.
LUCIUS
Dont call me that.
There is a short pause
I can't, no let me rephrase that, I WONT let myself believe that it was just SOME GUY.
JACKIE
Well LUCIUS, this IS a very big city.
PUDDY
She is right. The other day I saw a bunch of guys wearing clown makeup and taking pictures around landmarks.
JACKIE
Yeah I saw that too.
*they all pause, and look at the screen*
LUCIUS
I'm going to call SIMON now. We need to think and figure out what this thing could be.
PUDDY
He'll probably think your crazy.
JACKIE
Yeah, You know SIMON, forever the skeptic.
LUCIUS
The guy threw a f'n SHURIKEN at the others temple! Dammit PUDDY! I put the Bloody shuriken in your hand!
PUDDY
Well anyone can throw a shuriken, it isn't hard.
LUCIUS
Okay, what about the letter I got,"300, one moth left". Didn't you say it could be a countdown?
PUDDY
Yeah,. you know, I think "ONE MONTH LEFT" kind of gave it away.
JACKIE
I see SIMON coming, You didn't call him yet.
LUCIUS
I know.
SIMON Burst through the door, he looks like he saw a ghost.
SIMON
I just saw two guy with knives in their f'n chests.
LUCIUS
Was there a letter?
SIMON
We see what happened as he tells us.
I was coming home from the gym
Motions to PUDDY.
and I saw A note on my door. When I opened it up, it told me to check the alley across from the abandoned coffee shop. When I looked, I saw them, there was two guys lying on the ground. They had knives in thier f'n chests. On the wall, the wall next to them, was an engraved SMILE.
And thier was a note.
LUCIUS
LUCIUS looks at JACKIE and putty, almost with a sense of victory.
What did it say?
SIMON
299 and 298, 29 days left.
LUCIUS
I knew it, something is happening!
SIMON
I don't understand, fill me in.
LUCIUS
SIMON, I saw DAVE in an alley 2 days ago, he tried to kill me, and he was struck with this shuriken, in the temple.
SIMON
Thats f'n gross dude.
LUCIUS
The man who did it was wearing a black mask, with a SMILE painted on it. SIMON, the two guys who were killed, did they used to work for us?
SIMON
SIMON Pauses, and suddenly a look of shock enters his face.
Yes!
INT. RAY'S APARTMENT - DAY.
RAY is just sitting, almost in a trance. He then looks at his tattoo on his forearm. He then has a flashback.
RAYS FLASHBACK.
We see RAY, in a Jungle, he is next to a camp, its raining, and he is very muddy.
UNKNOWN MAN
Who is he.
JAPANESE ARMY CAPTAIN.
We don't know, he killed 50 of our men.
UNKNWON MAN
So why didn't you try to kill him.
JAPANESE ARMY CAPTAIN.
We did.
The Unknown man looks at RAY.
RAY
Who are you?
UNKNOWN MAN
I am CORBLUE. I am the leader of a highly secretive, and highly powerful Ninja sect.
RAY
Whats with the eye patch.
CORBLUE
Takes it off.
The eye patch is one of our sects main attires.
RAY
Why?
CORBLUE
Because, its bad ass. What is your name?
RAY
RAY.
We then cut to CORBLUE giving RAY ninja lessons. They blow up a house, they kill many men, they catch bullets. RAY is being trained harder than any men before him. He is becoming a fierce warrior.
RAY
Wait, so the goal of this sect is not honor?
CORBLUE
No, you must be joking. The goal of this sect is to make money.
RAY
Money?
CORBLUE
Yes, only work if you get paid.
We then see a dead member of the sect,and all of the nija member are gathering around him.
This is your final ritual, you must Join learn this funeral procession.
We see the Procession, it consist of all of the members carrying th dead one, like a moshpit. Then then lay him down, bow for reverence of his lost life,, and bury him.
All of a sudden, RAY is wakened from his daydream by a telephone, its LUCIUS.
CUT TO: LUCIUS' office, night,
RAY walks in, and sits down.
LUCIUS
Have a seat.
RAY
hEH.
LUCIUS
What?
RAY
Nuthin, just some dej vu.
*RAY puts a cigar in his mouth*
LUCIUS
Well, let's cut to the chase, There is -
RAY
I saw him.
LUCIUS
You did?
RAY
Yes, a few nights ago, I don't really remember. But I saw him, seem's pretty tough, not a pushover, like yourself,
LUCIUS
*Looks down at the cigar in RAY's mouth*
I see...
RAY
First, I would Like to know, are we over the whole "I blew up your house" thing.
LUCIUS
There is a bigger matter at hand. I know that you are the only man bad enough to take this thing down, I know im bieng crazy, but.........are you chewing your cigar?
RAY
*PULLS OUT CIGAR*
You got a problem with that?
LUCIUS
No. But I do have a different one
RAY
What?
LUCIUS
I don't know how much you cost.
RAY
*SMILES*
CUT TO LUCIUS'S APARTMENT DAY
LUCIUS, JACKIE, PUDDY, and SIMON are in the apartment, when all of a sudden, its like a light bulb went off in SIMONs head.
SIMON
The anniversary of your prison conviction is in one month! Thats what the countdown is.
LUCIUS
Wow, that was fast, and totally plausible and definitely true.
SIMON
Yeah,I know, but what about the letters?
LUCIUS
WAIT! Ive got it!
SIMON
Yes?
LUCIUS
The guys who were killed, didn't they worked for us right?
SIMON
Yeah.
LUCIUS
So, obviously he's counting down all of the member of our former gang. I remember that the detectives on my case estimated that there were 296 documented names of men who worked for me.
JACKIE
What about the other four?
PUDDY
Its us.
They all look at each other, with fear.
LUCIUS
I'm not sure if this is the time, but I called someone for help.
SIMON
Who?
All of a sudden, RAY walks through the door.
RAY
I heard the whole conversation, Ive seen the guy too. I don't know how he is going to go about killing all those men in less than a month, But Im not going to wait to find out.
RAY looks at LUCIUS.
Money up front.
LUCIUS
Yes, heres your 1 million.
SIMON
Why did you call him!
JACKIE
He's more dangerous than this "SMILE" guy.
PUDDY
Yeah, "The SMILE" as you called him JACKIE, saved your life LUCIUS, this man almost took it.
LUCIUS
The SMILE didn't kill me because obviously he wants me last.
SIMON
Are you out of your f'n mind LUCIUS! This is Laughable! He's chewing on his f'n cigar for Gods sake!
RAY ignores SIMONs words.
RAY
We are going to have to wait for some more murders and letters. Eventually I can figure out
a pattern and take him down.
cut to: montage!!!!
This is the montage, we see various men being killed, a few in an alley, some in a gas station, others in their homes. During this we also see RAY gathering information, and gathering weapons for his arsenal.
CUT TO: LUCIUS' APARTMENT, NIGHT.
RAYs gives the info to LUCIUS.
LUCIUS
There are four days left. How many people so far.
RAY
I'm not sure, probably a f'n lot though.
PUDDY
Yeah, but -
All of a sudden, a bullet goes through the window, and kills PUDDY.
JACKIE
NOOOOOOOOOO!
LUCIUS
PUDDY!
JACKIE
Its all happening, I'm next!
But then its silent again, LUCIUS is comforting JACKIE, and SIMON and RAY are just standing their, indifferent.
RAY
He's going to the alley again, Thats where its all going to go down.
LUCIUS
Im coming with you.
JACKIE
WHAT!
LUCIUS
This is personal now. I'm not going to sit back while he Kills you or SIMON.
RAY
Maybe you arent the queer faggot pussy I thought you were.
LUCIUS
Thanks?
He looks at JACKIE, and Walks out the door.
SIMON
Well, Well, Well, LUCIUS Decided to play hero.
SIMON Pulls Out a handgun, and shoots JACKIE in the head. |

SIMON
Its time to play villain.
CUT TO: Alleyway.
RAY and LUCIUS are waiting.
RAY
He should be here any moment, I think he comes here to rest.
LUCIUS
I hope you right, because its so f'n cold -
RAY jolts his hand in front of LUCIUS' head, and he grabs a shurkiken. He then Knocks out LUCIUS.
RAY
I'm sorry Lucy, but Your in over your head.
The smile comes down, and stares at RAY.
RAY
You wont be smiling when I'm done with ya.
The fight begins, a Battle of two skilled warriors. There styles are similar, RAYs maybe a bit more dirty and sluggish. RAY throws a right, the smile blocks and kicks RAY, who Blocks that Also. Then, RAY gets the upper hand, and Prepares to Kill the Smile, when All of a sudden.
BANG! a Gunshots is heard, and The smile dies.
RAY
SIMON! you killed him?
SIMON
Now I'm going to Kill you.
RAY
I don't under f'n stand.
SIMON
When LUCIUS decided to clean out everything, I was enraged! How could he do this! Everything we had, GONE! All the power, the glory!
RAY
So you Hired an Assassin !
SIMON
Yes, But he is not needed to kill you.
SIMON point the gun at RAY
SIMON
Goodbye.
Before he can pull the trigger, RAY pulls out a gun quickly, and shoots SIMON in the chest
SIMON
NO! PLEASE, ILL PAY YOU1 ITS NOT MY FAULT, I HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER! IM BEGGING YOU!.
RAY
The only thing I hate more, then Two faced liars that kill their loved ones, are whiny little b*tches who cry for mercy.
With that, RAY kills SIMON.
All of a sudden, RAY and hears almost a stampede of men, when All of a sudden, about 100 men dressed in "smile" outfits emerge from different places around them. They start lifting the fallen smile like a moshpit, and RAY realizes what he has to do. But before he can Go join the liturgy, Corblue appears.
LUCIUS is woken up.
RAY
It was you.
CORBLUE
Thats right.
RAY
But why?
CORBLUE
Because he paid us RAY, because he Paid us.
RAY
What about that Little Fat Fellow?
CORBLUE
Just another day, just another body.
RAY looks a little disturbed, but then joins the funeral.
LUCIUS Looks on. He can't believe the events that have unfolded. Even though its no Laughing Matter, he can't help but smile. He then whispers to himself.
LUCIUS
I can't wait to see Jackie.
With that, fade to black, and the music "What would you say" by Dave Mathews starts playing.
THE END.
RAY - Kurt Russel
LUCIUS EFRONITE - Clive Owen
SIMON EFRONITE - Jim Carrey
PUDDY McCarthy - Jack Black
JACKIE McCarthy - Natalie Portman
"THE SMILE" - Ray Park
BLACK SUIT - Himself
