Harm Reduction Part Fifteen - Jail

(Int, Day)
PETE sits in a jail waiting room with several other prisoners. He takes a deep breath and pounds his fists on the cement wall.
A Guy walks by PETE and bumps into him.

GUY:

Sorry man.

PETE:

Don't do that again.

The GUY gives him a little nudge again:

GUY:

Oops.

PETE:

If you do that again I will fucking kill you.:

GUY:

I bet your momma's proud of you.

PETE:

I killed my mom.

Int. day. Prison waiting room for visitors. Several people and kids milling around. JUSTIN sits at a table.

Int. day. Waiting room.

GUY:

Ya right. You're a fucking whackjob. You killed your momma?
What'd she do to you.

PETE:
Nothing. She didn't do anything.

DUSTY:
Who's here to see you?

PETE:
Don't know.

(Int, Day.) Prison visitor's waiting room.

JUSTIN:

(acknowledging other prisoners seeing their families.

Hey Skittles. Hey Bomber. (he nods) Hey Sweat.

Int. Day Waiting Room.

PETE takes a deep breath,

ANNOUNCEMENT:

Pete Kopecky.

There is a buzzes and a metal door slides open. PETE walks through it and into the waiting room.

He sees JUSTIN:

PETE: (to himself)

What the fuck is he doing here.

PETE walks up to JUSTIN.

I came out here to see you? 

JUSTIN:

I thought I'd see how you're doing. I see the thug life is treating you well.

PETE:

I am only here because of you. You set me up you prick.

JUSTIN:

Well, it was very obvious you needed some time off. So you're welcome.

PETE:
Time off from what? You don't even know me.

JUSTIN:
Oh, I know you.

Harm Reduction Part Fourteen - Arrested

This part continues in the FLOP HOUSE after Part Three.

Int. Morning, Flop House. PETE is sleeping on a cot in JUSTIN'S arms.

PETE slowly wakes up and, upon realizing he is next to JUSTIN he jumps with a start.

PETE:

Oh my God! Who the fuck are you?

JUSTIN:

My name is Justin and I am going to love you for the rest of your life.

PETE

You don't even know me you freak.

PETE looks around desperately for his clothes.

PETE 

Did we...?

JUSTIN

No, we did not have sex. I just thought you would be more comfortable and, also, I wanted to see what was under there.

PETE

Who the fuck do you think you are?

JUSTIN

I am your new boyfriend. I have been waiting for you a long time.

PETE
You've never even met me before.
Where are my clothes?

JUSTIN
There are no closets or dressers in this crack den so I placed them gently on the floor.

PETE gets dressed while JUSTIN talks.

JUSTIN:

So from what I gather from your situation is that the police and your family are probably looking for you and I would assume there are some legal matters pertaining to your newfound home ownership that need some seeing to so might I suggest you remove your clothes again, lie back down with me, and do a line and we can discuss the matters at hand.

PETE

Are you for real?

JUSTIN
Very much so.

JUSTIN, who is still naked, is tattooed from neck to ankle. PETE looks him up and down.

PETE:

So what's the deal with all the tats?

JUSTIN:

I had a boyfriend who hated them so I would get one every time he pissed me off.

PETE:

You're covered.

JUSTIN: 

He pissed me off a lot.

PETE laughs a little. There is silence. PETE drifts off to sleep in JUSTIN'S arms.

INT flop house. Next day.

PETE:
What day is it? I feel like I slept forever. How did that happen when I was doing coke?

JUSTIN:
Oh, that wasn't coke.

PETE
What was it?

JUSTIN:
Heroin.

PETE:
What the fuck?! What did you give me that for?

JUSTIN:
You've had a bad couple of days. I thought you could use the sleep..

PETE:
Fuck you man.

JUSTIN:
...and bliss.

PETE
But I snorted a ton. I could have OD'd.

JUSTIN:
Na. I was watching you.

PETE:
All night?

JUSTIN:
Yes.

PETE:
Don't you sleep?

JUSTIN:
How could I sleep when I had you here to admire.

PETE:
Seriously.

JUSTIN:
And I apologize. I licked you a couple of times again. I can't help it.

PETE:
Wow. Ok.

JUSTIN:
By the way if the cops show up this heroin is yours.

PETE:
Excuse me?

JUSTIN:
C'mon. Be nice. Looks like you're in more trouble anyway.

PETE
Ya, but...

JUSTIN
Remember how I said if the cops show up this heroin is yours.

PETE
Ya, five seconds ago.

JUSTIN throws the bag of heroin over to PETE

JUSTIN:

Well they're here.

PETE

How do you know?

The door busts open and four SWAT cops run in guns drawn.

PETE and JUSTIN are cuffed, taken outside and pulled apart in the direction of two different cruisers,

Pete yells out.

PETE:

My name is Pete Kopecky. K-O-P-E-C-K-Y

Justin made a mental note of what PETE had just said.
