THE TOWN - Rev. 5/20/10 (Buff Reshoots) 123.<br />
174 CONTINUED:<br />
174<br />
ON JEM<br />
Holding the money bag as a shield now, he crosses the<br />
intersection, where MORE COPS lie in wait. A FLURRY of<br />
rounds peck at his vest, his leg, his shooting arm.<br />
Cruisers scream to a halt on Boylston. Police get out.<br />
Jem stutters GUNFIRE, until he runs out of ammo. He<br />
throws it to the ground.<br />
He produces a Beretta and CONTINUES FIRING.<br />
Frawley returns fire, hitting JEM in the HAND.<br />
FRAWLEY<br />
On the ground, FBI. FBI!<br />
Jem raises his extra pistol in his bloody hand. Frawley<br />
squeezes one blast low -- BLAM!<br />
JEM FALLS BACK, backpedaling until finally he falls off<br />
the wet curb and drops hard onto the road, back against a<br />
MAILBOX.<br />
FRAWLEY<br />
Coughlin! Throw me your weapon.<br />
Doug looks back at him. A sea of police officers,<br />
skulking behind cars, holding weapons. Bouncing brass,<br />
glass and distant sirens are the only sounds.<br />
Coughlin!<br />
All right!<br />
FRAWLEY<br />
JEM<br />
Jem sees a DISCARDED SODA, dropped in the panic.<br />
One second!<br />
JEM<br />
He strains to reach for it and finally grasping it, he<br />
takes a pull from the straw.<br />
He raises his empty weapon at the police who light him<br />
up. He SLUMPS to his seat. Realizing he isn’t dead, he<br />
gets back up, aiming the weapon again until a few SHOTS<br />
FIND THEIR MARK, the first at his jaw, the second<br />
snapping his head and releasing his life like a spring.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Police approach Jem and fire into what is clearly a<br />
dead corpse. Everyone wants to get their shot.<br />
