Suddenly a HORN blares, BRAKES screech.
Brutal, fast, a CAR plows into the child, sending him and
the bike bouncing against the windshield and back on the
pavement, bleeding... dead.
EXT. APARTMENT HOUSE - 55TH STREET - DAY
JUDGE (20's) -- an intense young man wearing a FATIGUE JACKET --
STARES numbly at the child in the street. Neighborhood people
move toward the scene.
A WOMAN, perhaps the boy's mother, WAILS next to the body.
Judge's Mom, RITA (50's) -- raw boned and sharp eyed --
stands, drawn toward the tragedy.
RITA:
Oh lord... not again...
EXT. INTERSECTION - DAY
A CROWD -- including Reverend Slocum, Cy and the DRINKERS --
gathers near the child and the wailing woman. Across from
Judge, TYRONE keeps an angry distance from the horror.
CY:
God damn... Kid never had a chance...
ROSE:
Mothafuck... Hey!!! What the hell!!!
The CAR backs up, trying to leave the scene.
Market street regulars SWARM around the retreating vehicle,
hitting it with fists, sticks, bottles. Young and old move
together, their faces contorted with RAGE.
JUDGE:
(over)
People were pissed off. Neighborhood
had been begging for a stoplight
since before dirt was invented. Way
I saw it then, that boy dying was
another shitty thing in a world full
of sh*t.
CUT TO:
Eyes locked on the dead child, JUDGE stands, angry and
impassive.
JUDGE:
(over)
Way I see it now... That day. That
intersection. That's where it started
for me.
(a pause)
Only, I didn't know it then...
EXT. CLOSE UP:
INTERSECTION PAVEMENT - DAYRunning red past a SMALL sneakered foot, BLOOD streams toward
the gutter.
