WHO THY GRAPES BELONG
EXT: GATORTAIL RESTARUANT-EMPLOYEE PARKING LOT-SATURDAY-9 A.M.
BRIAN AND JOHN PILING INTO VAN, PEELING OUT LOT
BRIAN
"Whatever we do, you have my blessings for doing the research you did, I don't understand how you know stuff like you do, but your fucking amazing!"
JOHN
"I live for you Brian, you know that, you give me purpose, a home, piece of mind, and Sandy too...you all give me blessings...God want me here, like family, we go prove reason now..."
BRIAN FLOORING VAN, BLOWING THROUGH STOP SIGNS, HEADING TOWARD THE COLUMBUS WINERY ON JACKSON STREET
BRIAN
"I here ya man, but I still can't believe Brown messing all this up...hope he's not in on anything like Lieutenant Shelly was..."
JOHN
"Anything happen in Modesto, they get bored maybe, but you know, I question...I told you earlier where grapes would end up, why don't you listen, I tell you truth...carnal knowledge?"
BRIAN
"They're grapes, we grew them...now all of a sudden they become commerce, like gold bars appearing out of the blue, like nature, God...placed them on my doorstep...and now I'm chasing a million and a half dollars of pristine produce, how the hell am I suppose to know what it would become, like a prodigy child...everything assumed but not realized...it just became what it is, brought into the world without understanding it's value not so much to me, but in the eye's of others...fuck, it's not even the money, it's getting the dream down, and now I'm starting to see what all the fuss is about...the First Harvest opened up my eyes...that's for sure!"
JOHN
"You answer own question...you make knowledge of eternal wish...you follow through without question, you are leader and don't even know it...you act, you like everyone else...being nothing special...but you are wrong...humble, but important to everyone, don't forget that?"
BRIAN
"Yea, that's all great to know, but what's the plan anyway...I don't even know what to do when we get there, should have brought a weapon or something?"
JOHN
"We play it by ear, maybe my hunch not so right...we've proven nothing yet!"
BRIAN
"All I know is that I'm tired of putting all my faith in the authorities...as well wishing as they are, keep in mind it's just a resource, but if a solar flare comes down and zaps all our communications and you can't get to the bank and you start trying to use gold to buy shit with...everybody see you with the gold and say, hey...you got my gold, somebody making claim on your stash, one way or another it's going to be a showdown of the strong, the weak just fall away to who knows where."
JOHN
"You live like a movie, always extreme...but at least you consider all possibility...okay winery coming up on right!"
ENTERING FRONT DRIVEWAY OF COLUMBUS WINERIES
SEEING SERIES OF TRAILERS, ONE IN PARTICULAR STILL CONNECTED TO LEASED RYDER TRUCK
BRIAN
"This one looks interesting?"
BRIAN STARTS TO GET OUT OF VAN, BUT JOHN STOPS HIM
JOHN
'Wait, wait....be patient, we not know if truck occupied, cameras watch us, hold steady!"
BRIAN
"You've got a point there, we don't even know if that's the trailer or if it's even in a trailer ..boy is this fucked up!"
JOHN
"Try calling Lieutenant, doesn't he have receiver?"
BRIAN
"Yea, no shit..."
PROMPTS LIEUTENANT'S NUMBER, BROWN ANSWERS
BROWN
"Hey Brian, sorry about losing your load, it just slipped by, I'm going to try to track it down this morning, it couldn't have gotten far?"
BRIAN
"Don't worry about that right now...look, did you get a good look at the truck?"
BROWN
"It was pretty dark, but I remember it was a silver trailer, think it was a Ryder cab, can't say for sure..."
BRIAN
"Bring your receiver over to the Columbus Wineries on Jackson Street, I think we've got your target!"
BROWN
"How did you..."
BRIAN
"Don't worry how, just come over here, no lights, no sirens...I just need you to verify this before we go any further!"
BROWN
"Brian, are you on the property itself?"
BRIAN
"At the entrance, why?"
BROWN
"If this is the truck, then it becomes a crime scene in lieu of a police action...I don't want you to get involved or even be in the vicinity of that area, it's a situation where you could be in danger, might get hurt, so just back out, go park down the street, I'll call you if I detect any activity, do you understand me?"
BRIAN
"Yea, I heard you, but I'm still keeping my eye on this Lieutenant I don't even know if we really have anything here?"
BROWN
"So, what do you see anyway?"
BRIAN
"A silver trailer with a Ryder cab!"
BROWN
"I'll be right there!"
(30 minutes later)
BROWN PULLS UP IN UNMARKED VAN, ALREADY KNOWS IT'S THE TRUCK, BOTH A AND B SIGNALS PEGGING METERS ON GRAPE RECEIVER
HE CALLS BRIAN
BROWN
"Yea Brian, that's the truck all right, but I'm going to wait a moment and see if there's any activity...I have a feeling the cab might still be occupied, maybe sleeping, waiting for the gate to open, do you know anything about this situation...how did you find this place anyway?"
BRIAN
"All I know is that John my general manager, he's kinda psychic...anyway he found out, I mean he actually talked to the owner of this place on a hunch I guess, and he said that Sheffield made him a fifty cent on the dollar deal with on some overflow of grapes which just so happened to be around our harvest estimates, coincidence or what?"
BROWN
"Why wasn't I informed, you can't be withholding information like that!"
BRIAN
""Fuck man...it was based on pure speculation, a hunch, your boys said they couldn't do anything anyway...till the transaction took place and was documented, it's like telling someone I ran a stop sign before I even got to the intersection...what's the point...after all, your the one who let the grapes slip through your fingers, which in hindsight, might have been a good thing!"
BROWN
"How's that?"
BRIAN
"Because, if the trailer had never made it's destination here, we never could have tied to together the conspiracy!"
BROWN
"Good point...you need to join the force, we could use someone like you and..."
ALL OF A SUDDEN A GUNSHOT FIRES OUT FROM A HIGH-VELOCITY RIFLE COMING FROM A PASSING BLACK BMW
BACK WINDOW OF BRIAN'S UNMARKED VAN IS BLOWN OUT ON ONE SIDE
BRIAN GETS DOWN ON FLOOR OF VAN, RADIOS IN FOR BACKUP
BRIAN
"Officer in trouble, being pinned down by unknown gunman in late model black BMW heading west from Columbus Wineries on Jackson Street, please assist, break!"
BROWN SQUATS DOWN ON FLOOR OF VAN, POPPING CLIP INTO AR-15, COCKING BACK, PUTTING FIRST BULLET INTO CHAMBER
GETTING OUT OF VAN, HE RUNS BEHIND BACK WHEELS OF SILVER TRAILER
SQUATTING LOW, LOOKING AROUND TIRES
BMW DOUBLES BACK, COMES BACK UP STREET, SPRAYING BULLETS AT UNMARKED VAN, HITTING GAS TANK, VAN EXPLODES, ALSO HITS RIGHT SET OF BACK TIRES ON TRAILER, TIRES POP FLAT, CAUSING TRAILER TO TILT OVER, LOAD SHIFTS, TIPPING TRAILER ON SIDE, GRAPES SPILL OUT INTO PARKING LOT
BMW TAKES ANOTHER ROUND AT EXPOSED LIEUTENANT BROWN WHO GETS GRAZED IN THE SHOULDER
HE RETURNS FIRE HITTING BOTH OCCUPANTS IN BMW, KILLING THEM BOTH
MODESTO POLICE ARRIVE AND SECURE AREA
BRIAN AND JOHN SITTING IN BRIAN'S VAN JUST SHAKING THEIR HEADS
BRIAN
"Ain't this some shit?"
JOHN
"Feel like watching movie in 3 D, not even need funny glasses!"
(1 hour later)
BROWN WALKING UP TO BRIAN'S VAN WITH BANDAGED SHOULDER
POLICE CARS EVERYWHERE, AMBULANCES, CORONER SHOWS UP
WORKERS COLLECTING SPILLED GRAPES AND PUTTING INTO ANOTHER TRAILER
BROWN
"Have to admit, almost got me...they want to take me in for observation, looks like it might be my only ride home...so here's the deal...the owner of the Columbus doesn't know anything and your boy at Sheffield is claiming that the grapes were stolen from his facility last night!"
BRIAN
"So, they are both pointing fingers at who?"
BROWN
"Funny thing, they both are accusing you of taking them, they're blaming you!"
BRIAN
"Under what basis?"
BROWN
"Insurance fraud, two separate witnesses from two different sources...I'm afraid I'm going to need you to come down and make a preliminary statement, we could have charges pending here!"
BRIAN
"Well, isn't that some shit...freaking assholes...can this stuff stick?"
BROWN
"Not really, to much preconception...I was there, but then, you may have to go to court and prove your case too...you know how all this works?"
JOHN
"You win Brian, truth wins out!"
BRIAN
"Yea, then why am I already getting a headache...figured this was too easy..."
JOHN
"You being tested, but you hold out for win!"
BRIAN
"Thanks John, I like the way you positively spin my negativity...makes it go down a little easier...well, kind of anyway!"
