ACT TWO

EXT. PILLMAN'S WAREHOUSE – DAY

Dean and Roman stand outside the building.

ROMAN

I didn't think you'd change your mind.

DEAN

This ain't business. This is personal. Though, I don't know why we need him.

ROMAN

We're outnumbered with a short list of people we can trust. We're going to need all the help we can get.

Dean's still not onboard.

ROMAN (CONT'D)

I despise the guy too, but there's one thing we can count on when it comes to Seth Rollins and that's doing anything it takes to get what he wants. And for reasons I'm not sure I even want to know, he wants this a lot. 

AN ENGINE ROARS. Seth pulls up in a black Hummer. He hops out, a little too friendly for someone who hasn't earned their trust just yet.

SETH

You guys ready to walk down memory lane?

Dean ignores him and gets in the backseat.

ROMAN

Before you get any funny ideas, just remember, I still owe you one.

He slaps Seth in the back hard and hops in shotgun. Seth gets back in.

SETH

Duly noted. Where's our first stop?

DEAN

Those knuckleheads are packing heavy arsenal. There's only one place I know that holds that kind of heat.

INT. HUMMER – MOVING – LATER

Roman inspects the Hummer's interior. Shiny. High tech. Most have cost a fortune.

ROMAN

What is this, a gift from Papa Helmsley?

SETH

Just one of the few perks of selling out. But you better believe it cost me. Big time.

ROMAN

So what's the catch? You're back after three years and all of a sudden you have a change of heart? We know why they call you the architect.

SETH

After it all went down between us, I'll admit, I got a little arrogant.

ROMAN

Like that's new.

SETH

I told Hunter I didn't need him anymore and that I was the one holding the cards. So, he took me out. Broke my leg. Didn't even have the guts to do it himself. He has a lot of strings.

ROMAN

The puppet's got a name?

SETH

(beat) Samoa Joe.

Roman and Dean exchange looks.

SETH (CONT'D)

Don't look so surprised. The SCPD has more criminals on the payroll than they have in the cells. Anyway, he's not the guy I'm after. I want Triple H. To get to the king, you have to take away his pawns.

ROMAN

It's not going to be easy. His friends have a way of slipping through the justice system.

SETH

There's one thing I learned about Triple H's stooges: Loyalty isn't earned. It's bought.

EXT. DUDLEY BROTHERS – DAY

Roman, Seth, and Dean get out of the Hummer in front of the Dudley Brothers gun shop. The windows are barred and the doors look like they belonged to an army truck.

WHISTLING PYRA BLASTS into the sky.

DEAN

Someone's having a good time.

EXT. DUDLEY BROTHERS – BACKYARD – CONTINUOUS

Goggles on, DEVON AND BUBBA RAY DUDLEY take turns shooting jumbo launchers at a pyramid of tables far in the distance. Wooden shrapnel explode in the air.

Dean, Seth, and Roman circle around back. Devon nudges Bubba Ray. Nods at their visitors.

Dean holds up his hands in surrender.

DEAN

We don't mean to interrupt. We just want to talk.

BUBBA RAY

About what exactly?

DEAN

About an hour ago, there was a robbery at a nearby gas station. The robbers were using machinery that matches your specific tastes.

Devon shakes his head. Sucks his teeth.

BUBBA RAY

I remember two guys coming in asking for weapons, but we don't sell to anyone who doesn't own a permit. They made a fuss about it, but they were smart enough to walk away.

ROMAN

What'd they look like?

BUBBA RAY

One had a handlebar mustache. That's all I know.

SETH

You have any idea how they could have gotten their hands on your merchandise?

DEVON

Some guy runs a pawn shop downtown. Because of our "No Refund policy," a lot of our stuff ends up there. Perfect place to hide an assault weapon.

ROMAN

Or buy one without a permit.

SETH

You know the name of this place?

DEVON

End of Days.
