Code of Silence Page #6

Synopsis: In Chicago, honor-driven Sgt. Eddie Cusack (Chuck Norris) and his team stake out a drug exchange involving notorious drug czar Luis Comacho (Henry Silva). Cusack is caught off guard, however, when rival Mafia kingpin Tony Luna (Mike Genovese) and his disguised crew show up, unleash a torrent of gunfire on Comacho's crew and make off with both cash and cocaine. Now Cusack must fight both gangs -- and corruption in his own department -- in order to stop the drug war.

EDDIE:

(to walkie-talkie)

What the hell you talking about?

MUSIC (V.O.)

(from radio)

We got a painting crew of painters

just went in the building next door.

Eddie looks at Donato.

EDDIE:

Painters? That building's gonna be

condemned!

Like a coiled spring, Eddie leaps from the truck and runs

for the rear gate, gun in hand.

EDDIE:

(shouts)

Play Ball! Play-f***ing-ball!

DONATO:

(to mike)

Home Team! We're goin in! Move it!

Move it!

INT. PAINTER'S APARTMENT - DAY

Tony and his men face the window across the gangway. Two of

them hold sawed off double barreled shotguns. Tony counts it

down, and they all fire as one.

One GIANT BLAST tears into the window. It disintegrates.

The four men toss aside their empty guns, and grab other

guns.

EXT. GANGWAY - DAY

Eddie HEARS THE GUNFIRE and hits the wall. He sees the glass

showering down around him. He vaults over the backyard fence

and head for the porch stairs.

EXT. CEMETERY - DAY

Kosalas is finally pissing against the wall.

KOSALAS:

I knew it.

Cragie is using the crate to climb the wall. He is up and

over, and falls to the ground on the other side. He's still

trying to get to his feet when Kosalas comes over.

They start running, yanking their guns out.

INT. COMACHO APARTMENT - DAY

Doc and Spider are blown backwards in their chairs. One of

the cousins has fallen across the piles of money and drugs.

Victor and the other cousin are slumped on the floor. The

woman in the bedroom is screaming.

Through the jagged glass around the window frame, Tony's

boys shove a broad plank.

EXT. GANGWAY - DAY
