The
Apostle By: Frank Paul Jones
ACT 1
FADE IN:
INT. A SMALL PUB --
DAY
PAUL WALKS INTO THE PUB,
AND HE NOTICED A FEW MEN, THERE WAS ONE BEHIND THE BAR, THREE AT THE OTHER END
OF THE BAR AND A FEW OTHER PEOPLE. HE
NOTICE ESPECIALLY ONE MAN WHO WAS AT THE END OF THE BAR TO HIS LEFT, HE HAD A
GUN WITH A SILENCER.
PAUL CASTELLANO
What are you going to
do? Are you going to kill me?
Paul repeats this over and
over until the man in the middle tells the man with the silencer.
JOHN GOTTI
No Paul nobody is going to
kill you, hey, put the gun away. Paul
the bartender has something for you to drink.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I just got out of
detoxification, I don't drink anymore.
JOHN GOTTI
It's not alcohol, it is
truth serum.
RUSSELL
(Yelled
out)
Didn't the man say drink
the damn shit, so drink it?
Paul drank the truth serum.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Damn the shit was nasty.
Then like a scene out of
mission impossible, the man in the middle pulled off a mask.
PAUL CASTELLANO
(CONT'D)
I know you?
JOHN GOTTI
What's my name?
PAUL CASTELLANO
John Gotti?
Everyone started laughing.
JOHN GOTTI
How did you know my name?
PAUL CASTELLANO
I saw you in the Newspaper.
NEXT THING I KNEW I WAS
SITTING DOWN AND IT SEEMED AS IF John Gotti HAD A GUN TO HIS HEAD
JOHN GOTTI
Paul I was disloyal, if you
tell me to pull the trigger I will do it.
PAUL THOUGHT THE GUN WAS
POINTED AT John Gotti'S HEAD, BUT, IT WAS HIM HOLDING A GUN TO HIS OWN HEAD, IF
HE TELLS John Gotti TO PULL THE TRIGGER IT COULD END PAUL'S LIFE.
TO:
EXT. CHILDREN PLAYING
OUTSIDE IN THE PROJECTS -- DAY
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
The year was 0001, but, to
mainstream America it was 1959, this was when I was born under the sign of
Pisces. I say it was the year 0001,
because this was when it all started for me, this was when I was born. I was told as an infant I caught the
pneumonia, the strange thing is that all I remember as an infant was being told
I came into this world to suffer and I
was in deep pain. I was a fighter and
bounced back, by the time I was 9 months old I was walking. Walking at nine months old back then was an
achievement. These days with the food
they feed these children, who knows what to expect? As a little boy my oldest sister was jealous
of me, because of my complexion and the attention I got. I used to dance for my parents friends and do
the "twist" to Chubby Checker.
I have to admit I was spoiled!
Even as I lived in the Projects in a poor community, we weren't really
poor. Before my Stepfather married my
mother he was a Pimp, and she was well educated, she had a Bachelor's
Degree. My Stepfather with little
education he worked his way up to Plant Manager working under an electrical
Union. My home was a Gambling
Center! As a young kid I was very smart
and skilled in athletics. I would play
with the older boys, because I was that good in sports. I was made of Professional material, but it
wasn't meant to be, as you will learn from my story. I was raised in a dysfunction household. I had three sisters, two older and one
younger. I was molested as a child? And sexually assaulted as an adult! I lost my Mother at a young age. My Stepfather was a drunk without a 12 step
program and I was a problem child. By no
means was a punk, I was just a drunk that was taken advantage of at the cost of
the life of the rapist. By no means was
I a do "Goody-Goody", as they say, however, we have to avoid the
"Son of Sam Law." This is not a confession, but a story that is part
fact and part fiction, and it is for you to figure out the difference. And trust me it will not be an easy task.
INT. IN A PROJECT'S
APARTMENT -- DAY
I was about 5 or 6 years
old, at the kitchen table. Me, my Mother
and John Gotti who was in his middle to late 20s were together and a Pact was
to be made to change the direction of my life.
I would become two personalities, Paul Castellano when under hypnosis
and Frank Paul Jones under normal conditions.
JOHN GOTTI
Keep your eyes on the ball
Paul.
I was being put under
hypnosis.
JOHN GOTTI (CONT'D)
Blond I think he is ready.
BLOND
Let's do it.
JOHN GOTTI
Paul I am your father and
you have to believe this for this to work.
BLOND
Paul John is your daddy, and
it is your duty to do what he tells you to do.
JOHN GOTTI
You have to believe this
for this to work. With your mind we will
do big things and at times it will seem hard to endure, but you have to
overcome all these hardships, because one day it all will be yours. Are you all right with this?
PAUL CASTELLANO
There is a man who came
with you in the car, he is a spy, and you have to deal with him if you want to
have this power over me.
JOHN GOTTI
Consider it done!
TO:
EXT. ON THE STREETS
OF THE PROJECT QUEENSBRIDGE. -- DAY
John Gotti walks up to the
car, and grabs the spy out of the car and shoots him in the head.
JOHN GOTTI
(Yelled)
Now do you trust me Paul?
PAUL CASTELLANO
Now they will fear him Ma
because he is Mafia!
Television Clips from the
60s of the Flower Children, the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
I was raised in times, when
the Nation was divided and confused. You
had the Vietnam War whereby men were drafted into the war, to come back to spit
in the face and called "Baby Killers." You had the Flower Children
popping acid and smoking weed like it was legal. Now they got haircuts and are the same people
acting as politicians today, who are tough on crime. You had the Civil Rights Activist who was
fair game. A dude named Dr. Rev. King got himself killed trying to make people
think he was someone he wasn't. And, I
can't forget Malcolm X, who my Step-father knew when they were Pimps in Uptown
Harlem. A lot of people don't know, but
he was an honorable man who made a mistake and chose to die for the cause,
unlike King who played his game until the end.
Some people were more famous than others, but there were many battle fronts.
INT. IN OUR
APARTMENT. -- DAY
This is my second
recollection of having any contact with the Jackson Family that was to become
The Royal Family of Entertainment. The
first was at their home in Indiana.
JOSEPH
All right boys we made it
to the Big City, now you need to show them what you can do.
FRANK CLARK JONES
You have a group of good
looking boys there Joseph.
JOSEPH
Yea and they worked very
hard for this day.
JOHN GOTTI
They have to win this
competition at the Apollo and there will be some stiff competition.
PAUL CASTELLANO
They will win, that is no
problem, my concern is once we make them the entertainment family of America
can we trust them?
JOSEPH
I am a man of my word and I
give you my word, you'll give us the contacts we need to get this show on the
road, and we will take care of the rest.
PAUL CASTELLANO
That isn't my concern, my
concern is will you'll remember your friends when you get there. We know these guys are talented, young, and
handsome, and they have all the chemistry to make it real big and with our
support on the down low they are a sure shot.
My concern is once they make it to the top, will you'll remember your
friends, or become a problem?
JOSEPH
My word is my bond; we will
remember who helped us get to the top.
PAUL CASTELLANO
That is good because that
is where your sons are heading, all the way to the top. I have big plans for them. I could do it myself, but I have to remain
out of the scene, because I will be called on to do things, that nobody can
know who I am for this to work. For this
reason, I have to know I can trust you, because I will put you'll in the
custody of a lot of money, and not all of it is for you'll, I have very big
plans, for these guys, I just want what is coming to me when the time comes to
pay up. I don't want to have a problem
with that, because when I come on to the scene, it will be like, "Where
did this dude come from?" But
you'll will be very be famous and people will know you'll, but me, I will come
from nowhere and I expect to get my just due when the time comes. Do you understand me?
JOSEPH
We will not try to double
cross you Paul. But how do you plan to
collect, how do we pay you what belongs to you without causing legal problems.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I can't tell you
everything, because even I am on a need to know basis on a lot of things, but
the key to our arrangement is wedlock.
JOSEPH
You plan to marry my
daughter Latoya?
PAUL CASTELLANO
Have faith Joseph , I will
not dishonor you or your children, but for now leave it as we will settle
through wedlock that is all I can tell you at this time.
JOSEPH
All right! Let's talk about this show at the Apollo.
PAUL CASTELLANO
You'll will win the
competition and get a record deal and become the Family everybody wants to be.
JOHN GOTTI
Paul you should enter the
competition also, and take second prize, it will give you something to remember
before you go into whatever the hell you plan to go into.
PAUL CASTELLANO
No John, you know I can't
play second fiddle to anyone. They will
win, I will be in the crowd on the down low and they will become a famous family
and nobody will have an idea of who I am until the time comes for me to come
onto the scene. That is how it must be.
JOHN GOTTI
How about sports everyone
knows you can play baseball and basketball very good for a person your age.
PAUL CASTELLANO
True, but like so many
things in my life it will fade away. I
just had to have a childhood to give me
the strength to get through what I have to do.
I will suffer like hell, but it will all work out, if everyone does what
they are supposed to do. I AM putting a
lot of faith in you'll, because I can't do this all by myself. I will suffer, but when it comes time to be
lifted, I expect you'll to not forget the pact we made at all levels.
JOHN GOTTI
Joseph don't do Paul wrong,
be a man of your word, if we are asking too much speak up now or forever hold your piece,
because you'll have been chosen to take on a big task.
JOSEPH
You got my word of honor!
PAUL CASTELLANO
So it is settled, when the
time comes we will discuss the wedlock, until then just enjoy the ride and when
I come onto the scene, it will be even more fun, once we get through the birth
pains.
JOSEPH
What you mean by birth
pains!
PAUL CASTELLANO
Trust me when I tell you
this, you are going to become big and will have many hardships at some
point and doing right by me, will not be
as easy as you think now. Sure you are
poor today and hungry, but one day it will seem like the world is yours and
sharing it will take some effort on your part as well as mine's. I may have to force your hand and don't tell
me I will not, because I already know I will.
So just enjoy the ride, it will be fun, but coming back down to earth
will take a lot out of you, because of foolish pride. Trust me!
I know what I AM talking about, you are just hungry now, but you will be over fed and your thinking will
change. Trust me!
JOSEPH
I trust you, and if you are
right, have mercy on my children; you are the Lord.
PAUL CASTELLANO
You said that; now just
remember who said that, it was not self proclaimed.
EXT. OUTSIDE IN THE
FRONT WHERE OUR PARENTS COULD SEE US PLAY. -- DAY
We are in the Front joking,
back then we would have what was called "Rank Outs." Paul was about
11 years old.
BILLY
Hi Uncle Paul.
Everybody started laughing,
saying his sisters are whores.
BILLY (CONT'D)
Hi Uncle Paul.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Leave me alone.
BILLY
Hi Uncle Paul.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(Yelled
while crying)
I said, leave me alone
BILLY
Uncle Paul, Uncle Paul,
Uncle Paul!
While Paul was crying he
ran to the garbage can and got a bottle, and all the kids started running, he
threw the bottle about 50 yards and cut Billy's leg.
BLOND
Paul get your ass up stairs
are you crazy?
Paul went up stairs to his
apartment as his mother told him what to do.
INT. IN THE
APARTMENT. -- DAY
BLOND
You don't love your
nephews?
FRANK PAUL JONES
Yes, I love them.
BLOND
So why are you crying? Hold these boys!
She put my nephews in my
arms.
BLOND (CONT'D)
Say Cheese!
FRANK PAUL JONES
(Yelled)
Cheese!
My mother took a picture of
us together, and whenever I saw that picture I remembered that day.
EXT. OUTSIDE AT A
SECRET MEETING BETWEEN BILLY AND SKIP WHO WERE COUSINS. -- DAY
Billy put together a secret
plot to poison Blond who was Frank Paul Jones mother, at a card game Skip
mother was holding that weekend.
BILLY
Skip here is the stuff I
want you to put into Mrs. Blond's drink, I will
teach Paul's ass a lesson, by taking the most important person to him
away.
SKIP
Billy man this is murder,
supposed they find out it was us?
BILLY
Skip have some faith in me,
I know what I am doing, and nobody will ever figure this out.
SKIP
Billy man if they ever find
out we are dead man.
BILLY
Just do what the hell I
told you to do, nobody will ever put two and two together, they will just think
it was because she has high blood pressure that she got sick and died.
SKIP
All right I will put this
stuff in one of her drinks. But can you
tell me why you want to hurt Paul; is it because of the cut he gave you?
BILLY
No it has nothing to do
with that. Not many people know, but
Paul is a very powerful dude. His family
is connected and he thinks this world is his, but he will have a rude awakening.
SKIP
I will do this for you, but
you owe me one Billy.
BILLY
I will look out for you if
you do this for me.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
Billy was about 15 years
old when he plotted against me and my mother, and Skip was just a little kid
like me at about 11 years old. He had no
idea what he was really getting himself into.
But, Billy was right nobody knew it was him. Billy worked at a Candy Store that was a
front for selling heroin.
INT. AT MY FAMILY'S
APARTMENT -- NIGHT
My mother Blond makes
arrangements with one of my older sisters Lujuana, to look after me and my
little sister Ella, while she was at the card game at the Jackson's residence.
BLOND
Lujuana if you need me for
anything, here is the phone number to call.
Paul and Ella can eat cereal for breakfast.
LUJUANA
Ma! About what time will you come back home?
BLOND
I will be back tomorrow; I
will be there all night. And, when I get
home I will not want to be bothered because I will be tired from being up all
night. So I want you to feed them in the
morning!
LUJUANA
Can I have company to play
cards or something while you are gone?
BLOND
You can have company, but I
don't want them in here too late, after 12 midnight they have to leave. Do you understand me Lujuana?
LUJUANA
Yes ma!
INT. AT THE JACKSON'S
RESIDENCE -- NIGHT
Adults gambling at a
friendly card game. They got together
almost every weekend, my mother and her best friend Mrs. Virgie usually held a
lot of the games, but this weekend it was Mrs. Jackson's turn. She had no idea of what was about to happen.
SKIP
Mrs. Blond you need another
drink, you are out?
BLOND
Boy what in the hell are
you still doing up, you need to go to bed.
MRS. JACKSON
Skip what are you doing up
talking to grown folks, go the hell to bed.
SKIP
Yes Mother, Mrs. Blond you
want me to get you something before I leave to go to bed?
BLOND
Here boy take my glass and
tell your daddy to refill it.
SKIP
Yes Mrs. Blond!
Skip was thinking to
himself, I have this one change to do what Billy told me to do and he added the
poison to my mother's drink. The poison
would take time to take effect and the more my mother drank the worst the
effect would be on her.
SKIP (CONT'D)
Here Mrs. Blond, I have to
go to bed.
BLOND
Here Skip, take this
dollar, maybe you might bring me some luck!
SKIP
Good Night!
MRS. VIRGIE
Skip what happened to my
drink?
MRS. JACKSON
Boy get your ass to bed.
SKIP
I have to go to bed Mrs.
Virgie.
MRS. VIRGIE
Good Night boy!
INT. BACK AT MY
APARTMENT THE NEXT NIGHT. -- NIGHT
The poison took about a day
to fully kick in; this is why nobody suspected foul play. Billy had this figured out to the finest
detail. They played cards all night
Saturday, and while she was resting up Sunday night into Monday morning, she
had a serious stroke. Frank Clark Jones
my Step-Father noticed something was wrong.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Blond, Blond, what the hell
is going on? Blond! Blond!
I'll be damn! I will call the
Hospital.
Frank Clark Jones called
for an emergency and the Paramedics showed up.
I thought I was dreaming when they carried her out on a stretcher. What I saw was everything upside down, I
didn't want to believe what I saw and I was in denial.
INT. IN MY APARTMENT
THE NEXT MORNING. -- DAY
I woke up as usual to go to
school and my sister Lujuana was home with me, I don't remember seeing Ella,
but she was too young to know what was going on.
LUJUANA
You have to get dress for
school Paul.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Where is ma?
LUJUANA
She had to go to the
hospital and daddy went with her.
At this point I knew it
wasn't a dream and my mother was carried out by Paramedics to the hospital in
an emergency. So I went into the
bathroom and looked into the mirror.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(Yelled)
I hate you God, I hate you.
I started crying
uncontrollably, and continued to curse God.
I started to bang my head against the mirror until it cracked.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(CONT'D)
I hate you God, why! Why!
Lujuana heard the noise
coming out of the bathroom and came to my rescue, and she hugged me, trying to
reassure me that everything would be all right while she was holding me.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(CONT'D)
I hate you God, I hate you!
I continued to cry and she
was going to keep me home, but it was decided I was to go to school
LUJUANA
You don't have to go to
school if you don't want to! But there
is nothing you can do but hope and pray.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I hate God!
From this day on for many
years I could not express my emotions fully, they say I became apathetic.
INT. IN OUR
APARTMENT. -- DAY
My mother spend some time
in the hospital, back then they didn't have the medical technology they have
today to help stroke patients, so my mother came back from the hospital on a
wheelchair. It was a sad sight, because
my mother was an out-going person and now she couldn't even walk or talk for
that matter.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Mommy it will be all right.
My mother cried it seemed
as if it was from one eye, a very sad self pity cry, as if the reality set in
and she realized her condition without much hope, like I said, they didn't know
how to treat stroke patients then like they do now. Back then a stroke was a life sentence. My mother tried to speak but it took up too
much energy.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Let your momma rest Paul,
she had a long day, don't worry Paul everything will be all right
I felt hurt and embarrassed
at the same time, because I was only 11 years old and my mother was now a
crippled. People were not
empathetic. Kids would be kids and when
we had rank outs, they found the condition of my mother to be a joke, and it
wasn't a joking matter.
INT. ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL -- DAY
I was in class 6.1, which
was the smartest class; I was in an experimental school so it was a little
mixed. The idea was that high achievers
could help students that wanted to learn and I was one of the high
achievers. I played basketball for the
schools team; I was one of the best on the team if not the best. I and two friends from the front where I
lived, who were in the 5th grade and I was in the 6th grade came up with a
scheme. I didn't want to leave them
behind, so I plotted to fail the reading tests on purpose to get left back.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Dante! Douglas!
I don't want to leave to another school without you'll. I think I might fail the reading test on
purpose.
DOUGLAS
I dare you!
DANTE
I dare you to.
FRANK PAUL JONES
What you think I am afraid
to fail the test and get left back?
DOUGLAS
Paul you know you are not
going to fail the test, your father would go crazy if you did.
DANTE
We would have a bomb squad
next year if we had you, then we could finish school together.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I don't want to leave
you'll, because you'll are my best friends and nobody could ever replace
you'll.
DOUGLAS
It's up to you Paul; I
think you are crazy; we have to grow up someday.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I just don't want to leave
you guys, you'll are my friends, we grew up together; I could never find
friends like you'll.
DANTE
Sometimes we have to move
on Paul, we will still see you after school.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I Am going to fail the
test, I don't care!
DOUGLAS
I will believe you when I
see it!
DANTE
Me too!
FRANK PAUL JONES
I'M not afraid! I AM going to do it!
INT. ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL IN CLASSROOM;
It was time to take the
final examination to determine what class we will go to the next year.
MRS. BOCAR
All right clear everything
off of your desk except for two number 2 pencils.
Everyone started to clear
their desks, and I saw Douglas in the hall laughing, I guess he thought I must
have been a fool, but they were so close to me.
Even Dante who always competed against me, in my heart he was a friend
all the way back to before we went to school and I didn't want to leave them
behind.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Can we start now?
MRS. BOCAR
You may begin and good luck
and Frank I expect good things from you!
To do what I was about to
do took a lot of sense, I was a very smart little kid, I admit what I was about
to do was foolish and changed the shape of my life, but I believe everything
that happened in my life happened for a reason
and this was for a reason, and it wasn't to get left back. I systematically put the wrong answers on the
test and it took about half the time of the test to do it. After I did it I felt stupid, but it was done
with. I failed the test badly.
MRS. BOCAR (CONT'D)
Oh my God Frank I thought
you could read, how did I let you go through the whole year and you can't read?
DOUGLAS
Halena Paul failed the
test.
HALENA
(Crying)
Yes, how did you know?
DOUGLAS
He told us he was going to
fail the test on purpose to get left back.
HALENA
I'M TELLING! Mrs. Bocar Frank failed the test on purpose
to get left back, his friend Douglas told me.
MRS. BOCAR
Where is that boy?
HALENA
In the hall with his
friends!
MRS. BOCAR
Go get him right now!
HALENA
Yes Mrs. Bocar, I knew
something was fishy, because Paul is smart.
Some people called me Frank
and others call me Paul. Frank has
became my business name and Paul is the name friends and relative use to call
me by.
HALENA (CONT'D)
Paul Mrs. Bocar wants you,
we know what you did!
FRANK PAUL JONES
Who is the snitch, you
Douglas, you Dante?
HALENA
She said, she want you now
right this second.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(Yelled)
Are Shoe!
I and Halena went back to
the class to face Mrs. Bocar.
MRS. BOCAR
Frank you failed the test
on purpose?
FRANK PAUL JONES
Yes Mrs. Bocar!
MRS. BOCAR
Why?
FRANK PAUL JONES
To get left back
MRS. BOCAR
And, why again?
FRANK PAUL JONES
So I can play basketball
with my friends next year.
MRS. BOCAR
You can play basketball
next year at your new school. Half the
time is gone, you go back and correct your answers the best you can so I can
promote you to the next grade. Frank I
AM ashamed of you, what you did was bad, not just for you, but for me as a teacher. There would have been no way I could have
explained this test score you handed in.
Shame on you!
FRANK PAUL JONES
Yes Mrs. Bocar!
MRS. BOCAR
Now get a move on it, you
don't have much time.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I can do it, I know the
right answers already, and I just have to erase the wrong ones.
MRS. BOCAR
Get a move on it, and don't
disappoint me this time.
I did the best I could do
to get a better score on the test, but time wasn't on my side, I ended up
getting a passing grade, but they had to send me from 6.1 to 7.4. The only way I could have went to 7.1 to get
skipped to 9.1 was to go to summer school and playing baseball that summer was
more important to me.
INT. HOME -- DAY
I had to face my parents
because of the stunt I pulled in the final examination at School. My Mother was able to talk by then and she
had use of her left side, her right side was debilitated. When she walked she had a limp, but, aside
from her forgetting things on occasion, she was pretty sharp, but she did have
short term memory loss. For example she
would forget where she put money and the funny thing was Billy who I thought
was a friend, but was one of my worst enemies, had a habit of finding money
around these times.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Paul if you was me what
would you do to your son for failing his final examination in school.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I don't know, I did
something bad, but I didn't want to leave my friends.
FRANK CLARK JONES
You mean to tell me you
failed the final exam just to get left back to be in the same grade as Douglas
and Dante?
FRANK PAUL JONES
Yes, I don't want to go to
another school and my friends can't.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Paul sometimes you have to
move on in life, because as sure as one thing can come to an end, something
better can happen in your life, do you understand what I am trying to tell you?
FRANK PAUL JONES
I know I messed up and my
teacher said to get in 7.1, I have to go to summer school and I want to play
baseball, I don't want to go to summer school.
FRANK CLARK JONES
I should make you go to
summer school, because your education is more important than playing damn
baseball, I don't want you to be like me, and have to work so damn hard to make
a living. You know I work hard
Paul? Right!
FRANK PAUL JONES
How am I supposed to know
if you work hard, I never been to your job?
FRANK CLARK JONES
Your new school is right
next to my job, maybe one day I will show you what I do for a living and then
you might understand the value of education
FRANK PAUL JONES
Daddy I know I made a
mistake, but please don't make me go to
summer school.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Blond, what should we do
with this crazy ass boy?
Blond speaks slowly and you
have to listen carefully to understand her.
BLOND
He is just a little boy
Frank and the summer is the only time he
has to just be a child, if he wants to play baseball let him play baseball,
that boy is going through a lot, look at me out of his eyes!
FRANK CLARK JONES
Paul I am going to let you
play baseball, against my best judgment.
I think I AM letting you off too damn easy, but I am going to go with
your momma's wishes.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Thank you mommy!
BLOND
I hope I don't grow to
regret this, but I have faith that if you put your mind to it, there isn't
anything you can't do. Go and win the
MVP.
EXT. BASEBALL FIELD
-- DAY
I played baseball in the
little league and I was the best on the team.
I was known as this little kid who swung a big bat and throw a mean
fast-ball.
I was at bat at the River
Park, across the street from the Project I was from Queensbridge Projects.
UMPIRE
Ball! Two and one.
The Pitcher threw a fast
ball that was high and I knocked it almost out of the Park, I had to hit that
ball over 200 feet if not 250 feet, and Carl was near the park and couldn't
believe what I did. I got a home
run. That is how I got the reputation
for hitting long balls in the neighborhood, Carl told everybody about what he
saw. The thing about it was I was only
around 12 years old.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Did you see how far that
ball went? This is my super bat!
The team applaud me for my
home run.
INT. CLASSROOM IN NEW
SCHOOL WHICH WAS IN JR. HIGH SCHOOL -- DAY
To tell you the truth, if I
couldn't look back and realize what happened in my life was just meant to be; I
would say I could not benefit from doing it all over again. I would have gone to summer school, because
what I saw in 7.4 changed my whole outlook in life. These kids didn't come to school to learn, or
they had a learning disability. To them
making paper airplanes and eating in class was fun. They didn't go to school to learn and because
of the dysfunction in my home with my mother being sick and all, for me it was
an escape from responsibility and I fell right into it with them.
It was like I knew the
lessons already from what I learned in elementary school, so I didn't have to
study to pass the tests given, I just became another bad apple. That is the word to describe these students,
either a bad apple or a slow person.
I met different students,
and made new friends, one guy who became a close friend was Oral he was into
music like me, and he had a talent to draw art, but to really realize such a
dream, you need to go to college, and these kids were probably what they call
now victims of social promotions, they weren't being groomed to go to college
in most cases.
INT. CLASSROOM -- DAY
FRANK PAUL JONES
Hi may name is Paul, but,
in school they call me Frank, but, you can call me Paul. My friends and family call me Paul. What is your name?
ORAL
My name is Oral. Oral I heard about you the famous Paul.
FRANK PAUL JONES
What I do to become Famous?
ORAL
They say you are good in
sports and won the Presidential Award in P.S.
76. And they say you can hit a
baseball mile.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I am really famous?
ORAL
Yea, but, don't let it get
to your head.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Don't let it get to my
head?
ORAL
People don't like conceited
people.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Big words! You sure you belong in this class?
ORAL
What you mean?
FRANK PAUL JONES
Dumb, look around you,
these students are brain dead.
ORAL
Dumb, you are in this class
like everyone else, what makes you so special?
FRANK PAUL JONES
I AM in this class because
I failed the final exam on purpose, to get left back, but, the teacher found
out, so I had to pass the test, with a little time left on the clock, I was in
6.1.
ORAL
But now you are in 7.4 just
like everyone else. Then again maybe I
don't believe you, than maybe I do, and if I do, who is the fool a person who
did there best to get here, or person who could have done better? If I was you I wouldn't tell anybody what you
just told me, nobody likes people who are conceited.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Yea Yea whatever! I see you can draw, that is a gift and not
everybody can do that. Can you draw a
picture of me?
ORAL
You are all right, you are
not conceited!
FRANK PAUL JONES
How about you and your
Michael Jackson afro, I might call you afro man.
ORAL
Yea people say I look like
Michael Jackson, because I have a big afro, but, I don't let it go to my head.
FRANK PAUL JONES
You say the word conceited
one more time! I am starting to wonder
about you, I AM not conceited, we all have gifts and mine's happens to be
sports and you can draw, we just have different gifts and using your gift
doesn't make you conceited, it is just a smart thing to do. It's called being yourself and not
conceited. Give me a break already!
ORAL
You are right Paul. That is your name am I right? Paul?
FRANK PAUL JONES
Yes, my name is Frank Paul
Jones, and your name is Oral, and it was good meeting you, I think we are going
to be friends.
ORAL
Me too!
EXT. OUTSIDE NEAR THE
PROJECT BY AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. -- NIGHT
It was my 14th birthday,
and I was the only one in the crowd that wasn't actively getting high. They told me if I get high I wouldn't be shy,
and will be able to talk to the girls. I
was shy towards girls at this stage in my life.
ORAL
Paul today is the big day,
this is a day you should remember, and the first time you got high.
Raymond what do we have, I
got the brew
.
RAYMOND
I got the weed.
RONALD.
I got the wine.
ORAL
Paul since it is your
birthday you get to drink first.
I drank the wine; I had to
hold my nose to drink it, because it smelled.
That night I drank wine, malt liquor, and smoke weed, and got so drunk I
had to crawl, I couldn't even walk I got so high. This was the beginning of my demise in sports
and school became secondary, I became like everyone else in these slow
classes. Going to school to play instead
of learning.
INT. IN MY LIVING
ROOM -- DAY
We held band practices at
my apartment very often; Oral and Ronald.
Quit the band. Oral was the lead
singer and he wanted us to be a singing group and not a band, and Ronald. Started a group of Disc Jockeys. The band was called Phase One and the Dee
Jay's was called the Phaze Brothers. But
it was all about getting high, it wasn't about making money. From here on it was down hill for us all.
INT. ON THE STREETS
OF NEW YORK CITY. -- NIGHT
Me and a friend named
Raymond was walking together from the Subway to go to his sister's house,
Raymond had a KEY that allowed him to turn Frank Paul Jones into Paul
Castellano. He used his key so I could
do what I had to do at his sister's house.
When we arrive at the house
we were searched by his sister's husband's men.
The house had bullet proof windows, he was a big time heroin dealer, and
I was sent to deliver a message from John Gotti, what was to happen would
change my life forever.
RAYMOND
Why are you searching
me? Cathy is my sister, I AM coming to
see my sister.
SECURITY
This isn't personal
Raymond; these are our orders to check all visitors Who is this dude with you?
RAYMOND
Paul, Paul Jones.
SECURITY
Raise them Paul, you know
the routine!
We both were searched for
weapons and we both were clean.
RAYMOND
Hi Cathy, how is everything
going?
CATHY
Everything is fine Raymond,
what brings you here?
RAYMOND
Paul needs to meet with
Herb!
HERB
What the hell does this boy
have to see me about?
RAYMOND
Ask him, he is standing
right there.
HERB
What you need to see me
about young boy?
PAUL CASTELLANO
My name is Paul.
HERB
What can I do for you
Pauly?
PAUL CASTELLANO
My name is Paul, not Pauly
and not boy!
HERB
Excuse me son, what can I
do for you Paul.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I was sent here to give you
a message, from John Gotti
HERB
John Gotti? I don't do business with no John Gotti, what
in the hell does those Italians want with me.
PAUL CASTELLANO
He wants his percentage, on
your action and he said, everything will continue to work smoothly.
HERB
Oh so you're young punk ass
comes to my house to shake me down boy.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I am not trying to shake
anybody down Herb, I AM just the messenger.
HERB
You don't know who you are
missing with do you, you are fucking with Big Herb, and I will kill a mother
fucker, do you understand boy?
PAUL CASTELLANO
It doesn't have to go
there, I am just a messenger.
Herb pulled out a gun, and
pointed it at Paul Castellano, and started to threaten him.
HERB
Do you know I will kill you
boy?
PAUL CASTELLANO
It doesn't have to come
down to that Herb, I didn't come here for trouble, I just came to deliver a
message, and I assume your answer is no.
Right?
HERB
Fuck that shit, I should
make an example out of your punk ass.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Do you want to kill me?
(Yelled)
Do you want to kill me?
HERB
What you don't think I will
do it bitch?
PAUL CASTELLANO
Do you want to kill me?
HERB
I will do it man, nobody
fucks with Herb!
PAUL CASTELLANO
If you want to kill me kill
yourself. Herb didn't know he had the
gun pointed at himself, he thought it was pointed at Paul Castellano, he was
put under hypnosis.
HERB
I will do it man!
PAUL CASTELLANO
If you want to kill me,
pull the trigger.
Herb pulled the trigger and
blew his own head off.
PAUL CASTELLANO
(CONT'D)
Oh shit, did you see that,
he pulled the trigger on himself Raymond?
Raymond started laughing.
RAYMOND
Man we have to get out of
here, his boys are going to be all over us.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Don't worry I will put them
to sleep.
Cathy started to pick up
the gun.
PAUL CASTELLANO
(CONT'D)
Don't touch the gun Cathy.
She backed off.
PAUL CASTELLANO
(CONT'D)
Let's get out of here.
As we walk out the security
didn't know what was going on, Paul Castellano put them to sleep.
EXT. OUT IN FRONT OF
THE HOUSE. -- NIGHT
When we got out of the
house the Police where already outside the house, Paul Castellano got nervous,
thinking they would arrest him or worst kill him, so he made them put their
guns to their heads.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Do you want to kill me?
POLICE OFFICER
What the hell is going on,
you have your gun pointed at your own damn head.
POLICE OFFICER TWO
So do you.
POLICE OFFICER
Paul whatever you are doing
you will not get away with it.
PAUL CASTELLANO
How do you know my name,
and how did you just happen to be here, is this a setup?
POLICE OFFICER
You won't get away with
this Paul!
PAUL CASTELLANO
Do you want to kill me?
POLICE OFFICER
Nobody is going to kill you
Paul, so stop doing whatever you are doing.
PAUL CASTELLANO
(Spoken
quickly)
Get John Gotti, get John
Gotti.
POLICE OFFICER
Just be calm Paul, we will
get whoever you want us to get.
It became a stand off, and
about 10 Police Officers were at the scene, all of them had guns pointed at
their own heads.
POLICE OFFICER TWO
Somebody tell me what the
hell is going on here, this shit isn't right.
POLICE OFFICER
It's him, I don't fucking
know!
John Gotti or Gene Gotti
came to the scene and calmed everyone down, everybody put their guns away.
This was how the Government
got to know the power of Paul Castellano, which resulted in a Pact with the
Government.
INT. THE MSG THEATER
-- NIGHT
I and Billy went to see the
Jackson Five in Concert, but it was the day that a Pact was to be arranged for
the Wedlock.
I saw little Janet in
between her parents and Latoya was with a girlfriend.
Paul knew that Latoya was
afraid of Paul Castellano, and he had a long road in front of him and what he
had to say to them was decided by his mother.
PAUL CASTELLANO
All right Joseph, here is
the deal.
Paul made arrangements to
marry Janet who was 9 year old at the time and he was 16 years old. Latoya thought he was crazy to pick Janet
over her, being she was fine and Janet was just a little girl at the time. But Paul knew it would be many years before
the Union would be fully realized where they would actually live together. But, little did Latoya know Paul had plans
for her also.
Some guy notice the Parents
of The Jackson Five, the Jackson's had no idea how famous they were. He tried to rip them off, because he was mad
that his girlfriend made him take her to the Concert. Paul Castellano beat him up, and Janet
applaud him. What took place at this
meeting changed the life of Janet forever, as Paul entered into another Pact.
After the arrangement Billy
spoke.
BILLY
(Laughing)
Now you have to marry her
you Mother, those people don't play!
They are Jehovah Witnesses.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I look forward to that day
that will be the day of my glory. Billy
do you have something you want to tell me?
BILLY
What do you mean?
PAUL CASTELLANO
I just wonder if you have
something to tell me, I guess not!
INT. AT MY APARTMENT
-- DAY - 1975
Blond and her friends
returned from Atlantic City, a place were a bunch of Casinos were built. They had an enjoyable weekend, and came home.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Mommy you had fun.
MRS. VIRGIE
Blond almost broke the
bank.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Ma can I have some money?
BLOND
I lost it all back. Damn you boy, your going to make me leave my
friends.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Bless you, that you had a
chance to have friends, I will suffer and will miss you. Show me that you are all right?
BLOND
What you want me to do.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Show me that you are no
longer effected by the debilitation from your stroke.
Blond danced and laughed,
and her friends laughed, and then Frank Paul Jones didn't remember what Paul
Castellano witnessed.
PAUL CASTELLANO
(CONT'D)
I love you and I AM going
to miss you, but, you have to leave the scene so that you don't have to suffer
any longer, what you received is advanced to medical technology and if you stay
everyone will know, so you have to leave.
I love you.
BLOND
I love you too Paul, you
will have to be strong.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I will be lonely and I will
suffer, but I will overcome it all, don't worry about me and just enjoy the
ride.
INT. AT MY APARTMENT
IN MY PARENTS BEDROOM. -- DAY
Blond was in the bed and
foam was coming out of her mouth, they called the Hospital, and the Paramedics
came to pick her up.
She went to the hospital,
but this time she didn't return home.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Paul we have to go to the
hospital to see your momma, she wants to say good-bye to you.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I thought she was in a
coma? She will not even know I am there.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Come on and say good-bye,
she will not leave unless you say good-bye.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I don't want her to leave.
FRANK CLARK JONES
You have to say good-bye
Paul.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I can't remember this day;
I have to believe she is dead.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Then you won't remember!
PAUL CASTELLANO
Come on and let's do this,
so this woman can get on her way.
We went to the hospital and
I gave her my blessings, I understood why she had to leave the scene, it was
the only way she could have a normal life somewhere else.
INT. CHURCH -- DAY
Blond had two funerals, one
in New York City and one in Avon Park, Florida.
I didn't go to the first funeral in New York City, but, I heard a lot of
people showed up and there were plenty of flowers.
At the second funeral in
Avon Park they drugged me to go to the funeral, and again a lot of people
showed up. The first one in New York
City was for friends and the second one in Florida was for family.
My Great-Grandmother had to
be carried from the body, she knew in her heart it wasn't Blond in that
casket. She cried out, "that isn't
Blond, what did you'll do with my girl?"
END OF Act 1
ACT 2
:
EXT. AT MY APARTMENT
-- DAY
After my mother died or
left the scene, I almost completely stopped going to school. I was heavy into drugs and alcohol, and I
believe either my teachers didn't care or were afraid of me, because I had
arrangements whereby if I passed the tests, I didn't have to show up for class.
I started to really lose my
game in basketball, and mostly everyday I and my buddies would shack up with
girls at my apartment. My Father worked
full time and didn't know what was going on until it was totally out of
control.
I believe my getting
promoted to the 12th grade was a social promotion, because I really don't even
remember the 11th grade. All I know was
that we hanged out at my apartment with girls, making out and got high almost
everyday, and we would steal from stores to get our drugs and alcohol.
INT. MY APARTMENT. --
DAY - 1976
It was a weekend day and my
Step-Father who I thought was my Father was drinking. He had a sit down with me while he was
drinking. He was a heavy drinker during
the weekend, but I think he did the best that he could do at the time.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Paul we need to talk boy.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Talk about what daddy?
FRANK CLARK JONES
You just ain't right, I see
your whole life going down hill. I know
your momma died, but, you have to live on, you can't just feel sorry for
yourself.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I don't feel sorry for
myself, why you feel that way about me?
FRANK CLARK JONES
Everyday you played hooky
last year, if I would have known about it; I would have put your ass out. Now either you are going to go to school, get
a job, or you are going to have to get out of my home. I am not going to sit by and watch you waste
your life away under my roof.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Do I have time to think
about it?
FRANK CLARK JONES
Think about what Paul, you
don't want to go to school?
FRANK PAUL JONES
I didn't say that!
FRANK CLARK JONES
What is there to think
about, you have your whole life ahead of you, all you have to do is put your
mind to whatever you want to do, and do it.
You was such a smart boy, I don't know where we went wrong with you. Maybe it was when I let your momma talk me
into letting you play baseball, instead of going to summer school, because ever
since then, you been hanging around the wrong crowd. All you do is hang around drunks and drug
addicts; I don't know what to do with you Paul.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(Tears
in my eyes)
I don't know what happened
to me, it's like I am trapped in a body that I don't want to be in anymore.
FRANK CLARK JONES
You have to be strong boy.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I am tired, and I really
don't know what to do anymore. I AM so
tired!
FRANK CLARK JONES
Go to school and get your
education while you can, so you don't have to work hard like me.
FRANK PAUL JONES
They don't teach me
anything in school, and I have been out of real classes too long to catch
up. I screwed up. I blew it, and I know it deep in my
heart. It's like there are two people in
me, one wants to do the right thing, but the other won't let me.
FRANK CLARK JONES
I wish I could tell you
what to do Paul, but you have to look into your heart, only you know what is
best for you. I wish I could tell you
Paul, but, only you know the direction you have to take, all I can do is make
you make a decision, and it's time for you to make a move in your life, you
can't just get high and waste your life away.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I know it's time for me to
act like a man, give me a couple of days I have to think.
FRANK CLARK JONES
School is right around the
corner Paul, if you are going back to school.
I need to know so I can get you something to wear.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Daddy I think what I have
to do is bigger than school, and more important than just getting a job, please
let me think about this, I am only asking for a couple of days. I know the answer is right at my finger tips. I feel something is out there for me, I just
don't know what it is?
FRANK CLARK JONES
Now you sound like the Paul
I raised, think about it and do it while you are sober, give your mind a rest,
and it will come to you.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I will stay sober this
weekend daddy.
EXT. ON MY WAY TO
SCHOOL AT THE PLAZA. -- DAY
I was thinking to myself, I
should go back to school and give it my best shot, until I saw this guy who I
thought of as a punk, but he had on a United States Army uniform, and right
then I knew what I had to do, join the Army.
By joining the Army I did all three things, I got a job, I went to
school, and I moved out.
INT. AT MY APARTMENT.
-- NIGHT
FRANK CLARK JONES
Paul I thought you was
going to register for school, show me something man.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I was going to go back to
school but now I know what I want to do.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Get a job, boy you need
some education to make it in this world, I want you to go back to school Paul.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Listen to me daddy and
don't get mad, because what I want to do, might not sound that hot, but I have
to do this, I know it in my heart.
FRANK CLARK JONES
What Paul?
FRANK PAUL JONES
I want to join the Army.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Your only 17 years old,
you're not old enough to join the Army, don't you have to be 18 years old?
FRANK PAUL JONES
I can join at 17 years old,
if you sign me in; I have to have your consent.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Are you sure this is what
you want to do.
FRANK PAUL JONES
It's not about what I want
to do, it is my destiny, I have to join the Army and I know it in my
heart. Didn't you tell me to look into
my heart?
FRANK CLARK JONES
Damn I didn't think you
would come back with this crazy ass shit.
FRANK PAUL JONES
It's not crazy, it is my
destiny.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Well if it is your destiny,
who am I to get in the way? I hope you
don't get herself killed, you know I lost my brother to Hitler?
FRANK PAUL JONES
Its peace time, I doubt if
I will go to a war, I will take care of myself, I promise!
FRANK CLARK JONES
This is really what you
plan to do Paul, isn't it?
FRANK PAUL JONES
Yes!
FRANK CLARK JONES
I will sign your consent
form.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I will let the recruiter
know it is all right with you, and take my physical and some examination. I know I can pass it. Because I took a fake one already, he said,
he will get me a good job.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Good luck man. You're not a boy anymore Paul, if you go into
the Army, go into it a MAN!
FRANK PAUL JONES
I will do my best!
FRANK CLARK JONES
I AM going to miss you
Paul. With Ella with my Momma, it is
going to be lonely here, but, I know you are doing the right thing, for a
reason you may not fully understand, but one day all this is going to make
sense to you.
INT. MILITARY POST --
DAY
They took me to Fort
Hamilton in Brooklyn to take the entrance examination and my physical. I did pretty well on the test, and passed the
physical, and was inducted into the United States Army. On the same day I was transported to Fort
Jackson South Carolina for Basic Training and Advance Individual Training,
which is when you go to school to learn your military job. My friends didn't know what I was doing, they
found out from my Father after the fact.
At basic Training I was the
youngest guy in the Unit, the guys would tease me sometimes, but generally I
was liked by them. I became a Marksman
with the M-16 Rifle, and I completed Basic Training on time.
I went to Florida after I
completed Basic Training to see my Grand-Mother and my Little sister Ella, who
was staying with her because my Mother died, and she was growing and needed a
woman to teach her women things. When I arrived
I found out my Grand-Mother died the day before I got there. The family came together for her Funeral, and
it was a big one, because she was one of the Pillars of Church called "The
Church of God by Faith."
I went to A I T and I did
well in A I T as well, I finished on time.
I became a 36 Kilo meaning a Field Wireman, we were known as Pole
Climbers. Our job was to lay wire for
phone communications when in a War Zone.
Remember when I told you I
was stopped by a bunch of Police Officers, when I tried to leave the scene,
when a heroin dealer shot himself in the head, and the Government found out
about me. Well this is what it came down
to, joining the Army to get involved in Covert operations. This was the beginning of my career of Covert
Operations for the Government.
INT. ON A JET PLANE.
-- DAY
We were boarded on a Plane
to go home before we were to go to our new duty stations. I was assigned to a Unit in Germany, but,
this flight was going from South Carolina to New York City.
HIJACKER
This is a hijack, as you
can see I have a gun and will use it. I
want this plane to go to Iran; we will not be going to New York City.
People got nerves and
couldn't believe what was going on, because over 75% of the Passengers were
Soldiers, in fact the Hijacker was a Military Man. This didn't make any sense
FRANK PAUL JONES
(To
the Stewardess)
Is this guy serious, I am
not going to Iran that shit is out? You
know how those people will treat military men?
STEWARDESS
What are you going to do?
FRANK PAUL JONES
I don't know but I am not
going to any damn Iran, with all the crazy shit going on over there.
Time passed and the
Hijacker was in control of the plane, this was during the winter in 1976-77.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(CONT'D)
It looks like this damn
fool is going to get us killed.
Frank Paul Jones became
Paul Castellano by automatic, without the help of a KEY, because he went
into a self-defense mode. The stewardess
had no idea what was going on, and Paul Castellano was attracted to her.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Damn you know something you
are so damn fine.
STEWARDESS
How can you talk about
something like that in a time like this, you have to do something.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I am just saying if we are
going to die, we may as well die fucking.
STEWARDESS
Are you crazy, you want to
have sex here in the crowded plane, at a time like this?
PAUL CASTELLANO
We are going to die anyway.
The stewardess was nerves,
and thought she was going to die, and was attracted to Paul Castellano also.
PAUL CASTELLANO
(CONT'D)
Come on let's do it, what
do we have to lose?
STEWARDESS
I can't believe I AM about
to do this, what are you doing to me, you are making hot and horny.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Come on we have nothing to
lose, let's do it, you think these people are going to care what we do now?
STEWARDESS
How are we going to do it?
PAUL CASTELLANO
Ride me baby, just sit on
it, I want you!
STEWARDESS
The hell with it, let's do
this.
The stewardess and Paul
Castellano had sex on a plane being hijacked.
It was like the only person Paul could see was her, he was in another
world and was in a moment of shamelessness, but the lady was fine as could be. After he got off, he did something about the
situation.
PAUL CASTELLANO
(To
the Hijacker)
Look man I had enough of
this bullshit, we are not going to Iran, and you can get that out of your mind.
HIJACKER
I have a gun and I AM under
control of this situation, so sit down and stay in your seat and be quite.
Paul Castellano started
talking some Nation of Black Muslims stuff to the hijacker, to convince him he
could trust him.
HIJACKER (CONT'D)
If you are down with the
Nation, why don't you want to go to Iran, in fact why are you in the damn Army?
PAUL CASTELLANO
There are things I just
don't have the answer to, but I joined the Military to escape oppression, but I
don't think those people in the Middle East will understand, just like you
don't understand.
HIJACKER
Have Faith in ALLAH!
PAUL CASTELLANO
Yea I can see you have
faith in ALLAH with your white Ass, talking about going to Iran.
HIJACKER
What you think all Muslims
are black, we come in all shades.
Paul Castellano started to
walk towards the hijacker.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I had enough of this bullshit,
you are just one crazy Mother fucker, and this plane isn't going to Iran, you
can get that shit out of your mind.
HIJACKER
Stop if you come any closer
I will shoot.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Fuck it, if I AM going to
die, I am going to die now, so you are going
to have to kill me.
The hijacker pulled the
trigger a few times, but the gun didn't go off.
Paul Castellano gave him a Muhammad Ali ass whipping. He punch the dude at least 20 times, in the
chest in the face and all over, after that he took the gun that fell.
PAUL CASTELLANO
(CONT'D)
Take this plane to New York
City.
The plane returned to South
Carolina, where everyone was boarded on another plane.
INT. AT THE AIRPORT.
-- DAY
STAFF SERGEANT CLARK
You son of a bitch, why in
the hell did you do that?
He was in his Dress Green
Uniform, and so was I.
PAUL CASTELLANO
What did I do Sergeant, but
stop a hijacking that would have put a bunch of troops in harms way?
STAFF SERGEANT CLARK
You are supposed to do as
you are told, that was the agreement!
PAUL CASTELLANO
Nobody told me anything
about going to Iran; I AM supposed to go to Germany.
STAFF SERGEANT CLARK
You just screwed up an
operation.
PAUL CASTELLANO
What operation?
STAFF SERGEANT CLARK
We was going after the
Ayatollah.
PAUL CASTELLANO
What are you talking about?
STAFF SERGEANT CLARK
The Shah and the Ayatollah,
doesn't ring bells?
PAUL CASTELLANO
This was a covert operation
to hit the Ayatollah?
STAFF SERGEANT CLARK
You got that right!
PAUL CASTELLANO
Well I wasn't informed,
next time try telling me what you want before you put me into situations.
STAFF SERGEANT CLARK
I will see you in Germany,
you will be working for me in Germany, enjoy your vacation.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I AM sorry man, but if you
are the KEY you should have known to inform me, prior to an operation.
STAFF SERGEANT CLARK
I should Court Martial your
Ass, but, we need you in Germany.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I can see it is going to be
fun working for you!
STAFF SERGEANT CLARK
You are a soldier in the
United States Army, and you have a very important job to do and remember that.
PAUL CASTELLANO
What do I have to do?
STAFF SERGEANT CLARK
I will see you in Germany;
enjoy your vacation, because it will be
awhile before you enjoy anything again.
Frank Paul Jones didn't
remember the conversation, but he remembered in part what happened on the
plane. He went to his sister's apartment
in New York City, and what happened was on the News on television, but they
didn't give up his identification.
The Stewardess called his
sister Egeria's apartment to make sure Paul was all right, and to let him know
she had a boyfriend and was engaged to get married. Frank Paul Jones remembered what happened,
but the memory faded away and for many years he didn't remember that day.
INT. A LABORATORY IN
GERMANY. -- NIGHT
PAUL CASTELLANO
(V.O.)
The hijacking was a failed
covert operation, but, it was the beginning of my covert status in the
Army. I was sent to Germany and the
development of the AIDS virus was my first actual covert act.
STAFF SERGEANT CLARK
Your first set of orders
came down from intelligence. We will
give you whatever support you need, to develop a disease that is
incurable. Can you handle this?
PAUL CASTELLANO
With the stuff you have in
this laboratory I can do better than that.
STAFF SERGEANT CLARK
The orders was an incurable
disease, no more and no less.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I hope you'll know what
you'll are asking for, because I will give it to you.
The AIDS virus was
developed in a laboratory in Germany, during the winter of 1976 and 1977.
PAUL CASTELLANO
(V.O.) (CONT'D)
With the development of the
AIDS virus, they got more than what they bargained for. They thought they would be able to figure it
out. They used it as a biological
weapon, but they will never figure out the solution to this virus without
me. Sure they can treat the symptoms,
but they cannot eliminate the virus. I
made 18 years old in Germany, when I joined the Army I was 17 years old I was
told I was a man. But, because I was
serving in the military overseas at the age of 18 years old, I qualified to
join Freemasonry. Like I said, I led two
lives in one body, that of Paul Castellano and that of Frank Paul Jones, and
Frank was not aware of Paul Castellano.
Paul Castellano became a Freemason, and everyone who was a Freemason in
this unit knew who Paul Castellano was, but Frank Paul Jones didn't know what
was going on. Confusing right? Paul Castellano became a Freemason at the age
of 18 years old, he was considered a traveler.
Frank Paul Jones played crazy to get out of the Army after the job was
done. Everybody knew it was all an act,
but they figured if they let him out then, he would have to reenlist in the
future to fulfill his obligation to the United States Government. And, considering his age it was decided to
give him a discharge, so he could go home and grow up a little bit more and be
able to reenlist in the future. They
gave him a Discharge under Honorable conditions. With a future obligation
INT. THE BARRACKS --
NIGHT
FRANK PAUL JONES
Let's get drunk Don?
DONALD JONES
What are we going to do,
get drunk and play music?
FRANK PAUL JONES
Yea, let's get drunk and
jam.
We both got a quart of
liquor each, which cost about $2 or $3 each bottle because we didn't have to
pay taxes on it, and drank it, straight out of the bottle. We would do this often. We were about the same age, we were months
apart, he played the lead guitar and I played the bass guitar. This was our regular routine, when I got out
it broke his heart, because we had plans of getting a band together.
I would put on Mickey Mouse
Sunglasses and act crazy, and the unit got a good laugh out of it, they would
say "Jones is playing crazy again, sometimes I wonder about this
dude." And, they would laugh.
We would play music, and we
didn't sound bad, considering we were always almost out of it.
INT. ON A PLANE GOING
BACK TO THE UNITED STATES. -- DAY
On the way back to the
United States we stopped in Ireland, at the time there was battles going on in
that Country with the Irish Liberated Army.
I got off the plane and used the rest room. They actually had Irish Spring Soap in the
rest room. I got back on the plane and
we were escorted by two Fighter Aircraft's.
I took control of all three
jets while in midair in International Airspace, which is what we were escorted
through. And, after a minute or two, I
saluted the Pilot on the right side of our passenger plane, and Paul Castellano
was commissioned in Air Space. We continued
through International Airspace, and the Fighters turned around back the Air
Base.
EXT. BACK ON THE
STREETS OF QUEENSBRIDGE. -- DAY
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
When I got back to the
block, the first thing that came to my mind was, "What in the hell did I
do?" I came back to the same
bullshit I so badly wanted to get away from.
The block offered the same old bullshit.
In my absence a few things changed, like with the band I had, I couldn't
get them back together, because of jealousy.
I gave my bass guitar and amplifier away to a dude who wasn't in my
band, and now he was the man, I charged him $100 and was worth about $800. And, my old band members felt I should have
hooked one of them up, and they were right.
So I couldn't get my band back together.
I had a new bass guitar I bought in Germany that was better than the one
I sold, and I bought an amplifier, with the same power as the one I sold, but
the bottom line was I was gone just long enough, to not be the man anymore with
the musicians, so I got into the hustling game.
But I continued to practice on my own.
EXT. BACK ON THE
BLOCK. -- DAY
I learned something about
how to be organized while I was in the Army, and I had big plans with the
fellows of the streets, I had a plan to organized The Queensbridge Projects.
CARL
Paul what's up man, I
thought you was in Germany, what you are doing here.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Fuck the Army, F A T, Fuck
the Army man.
CARL
You got out of the Army?
FRANK PAUL JONES
Yea man, they were fucking
with me too much, so I played crazy.
CARL
They kicked you out?
FRANK PAUL JONES
No I got out under
honorable conditions, they said after a few years I can go back in if I want
to.
CARL
You plan to go back in?
FRANK PAUL JONES
Fuck the Army, F.T.A. man.
CARL
I have to pick something up
for my moms, I will check you out later, welcome back home, we missed you man.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Later man.
INT. AT MY FATHER'S
APARTMENT. -- DAY
FRANK CLARK JONES
Paul I plan to move to
Florida and live in Mommas house that she left behind to me.
FRANK PAUL JONES
What about your job and
this apartment?
FRANK CLARK JONES
My job is moving to Ohio,
and you can keep this apartment, I have a nice house in Florida, and will live
off of my Union pension until I get old enough for Social Security. What happened to you in Germany Paul
Castellano?
Paul Castellano was KEYED
IN by Frank Clark Jones, and he had a conversation with Paul Castellano.
PAUL CASTELLANO
We made an agreement to let
Frank Paul Jones go home to grow up a little more, he was under too much
pressure.
FRANK CLARK JONES
What did they have you do?
PAUL CASTELLANO
I am involved with Covert
Operations with the United States Government.
FRANK CLARK JONES
What do you mean by Covert
Operations, what did they have you do?
PAUL CASTELLANO
They had me develop an
incurable disease.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Why would they do that?
PAUL CASTELLANO
I can only speculate the
orders came down from intelligence, through a middle man.
FRANK CLARK JONES
What is your speculation?
PAUL CASTELLANO
They plan to kill a lot of
people, and the problem is they asked for more than they bargained for.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Why do you say that?
PAUL CASTELLANO
Because I gave them what
they asked for, an incurable disease and they will never figure out the
solution, therefore, before it is over they will need me again.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Damn boy, you are good,
because if they need you, they can't chance on killing you.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Yes and no. They don't know what they have on their hands
yet, it will be after years of research that they will find out. I have to be careful, because in reality they
don't know how much they will depend on me.
FRANK CLARK JONES
So what is the Master Plan
for now?
PAUL CASTELLANO
I need to stay in New York
City for about 6 months to 1 year to organize these guys; I learned a little
something about Organizational Structure.
I will organize it and Frank Paul Jones will be able to keep it together. The Government has to think I AM not in
control, but on the down low, I will have these guys very organized and nobody
but my buffers will know it is me. I
think Carl will be one of my buffers.
FRANK CLARK JONES
And after you get these
guys Organized what do you plan to do.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I will be moving back and
forth from Florida to New York, people will think I fell on hard times, because
the Government will be watching and I will coordinate the two.
FRANK CLARK JONES
What is in Florida?
PAUL CASTELLANO
That is where they will
allow a lot of cocaine to enter into this Country. There is going to be a big War in the drugs
world and if my men don't get a piece of the action, they will become too weak.
FRANK CLARK JONES
I thought there was a no
drug policy?
PAUL CASTELLANO
There is with the Gambino
Family, but that doesn't have anything to do with the associates. They will finance it on the down low with the
loan shark game and get high interest back on their money, but the money borrowed
will be used to finance the drug trade.
FRANK CLARK JONES
I don't like drugs Paul, or
what it does to people.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I don't like it either, but
it is a reality, the Hispanics are going to get real big in this game and
Italians can't play ball, because of the no drug policy, so we have to let the
brothers enter the game, or everything will be out of balance. It's about balance.
FRANK CLARK JONES
I guess you have to do what
you have to do Paul.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I plan to destroy the drug
trade as we know it today, but my men have to have money if I am to keep them
loyal, until the time comes to come down on drug Families. Trust me!
FRANK CLARK JONES
All right you get these
guys Organized, and then what happens?
PAUL CASTELLANO
In a few years from now I
will have to go back to the Army, to complete my obligation with the
Government. Believe it or not, but we
are to big business what the CIA is to the government. Not only that, but we are to the CIA what the
CIA is to the government. The more they
do business with me, the more dependent they will become of me. They think they are using me, but this is
Quid pro quo like a Mother fucker.
FRANK CLARK JONES
So I will be seeing you in
Florida soon!
PAUL CASTELLANO
Be prepared to send for me,
when the time comes, because I have to look very dependent on the Family for my
survival.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Be careful and remember to
stick with your plan, you can't look like you are making a lot of money for
this to work.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I will look like a small
time hustler, trying to make it big, but will fall on his face and his Father
will bail him out.
FRANK CLARK JONES
How about the Godfather Big
Paul, you know you have to deal with him, he is in your rightful position.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Let him enjoy himself, we
don't need the heat, even he can't know what the complete picture is. He will think his Gambling and Loan Sharking
businesses is bringing in good money, while he tries to be slick on the side. My Uncle is a fool, but he thinks I am the
fool, let it stay that way. So when do
you plan to move to Florida?
FRANK CLARK JONES
Soon as I get everything in
order, I was really just waiting on you to come home. For a minute I thought you was going to make
a career out of the Military.
PAUL CASTELLANO
My career with the
Government will be Covert Operations; I have to make sure these damn greedy
fools don't give this Country away.
EXT. A SECRET MEETING
PLACE. -- NIGHT
I secret meeting took place
between John & Gene Gotti, Carl and Paul Castellano.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I AM glad you all could
show up, how are you all doing?
Everybody said, all right,
and so on.
JOHN GOTTI
What is this all about
Paul?
PAUL CASTELLANO
It's about the Master Plan;
it's about how we are going to conduct business.
JOHN GOTTI
Frank told me something
about drugs, are you trying to get us whacked?
PAUL CASTELLANO
No! I have this all figured out, now just be cool
and listen to me, before you ask anymore questions. We know Queensbridge has always been Gambino
Territory, and drugs have always been in the Community, but because it was ran
by associates, and not Family members it was condoned and nothing changed
except for this is going to be more organized and profitable. Now understand I am against drugs, but the
Hispanics are going to get large in the Cocaine game, and if we don't get a
piece of the action, they are going the step on us like a bunch of roaches, and
we can't let that happen. Cocaine is
going to almost replace heroin and we have to get a piece of this action to
survive.
JOHN GOTTI
We all know this, but that
doesn't change the no drug policy.
PAUL CASTELLANO
The Gambino Family will get
their piece of the action through Gambling and Loan Sharking and that is the
beauty of the plan. Carl will be my
voice and I will be on the down low.
John you will handle the Gambling and Loan Sharking interest out of The
Queensbridge Projects. This is how you
will collect your payments. You will get
a percentage of the Gambling establishments and will loan money at high interest
rates and the money will be turned over through drugs. So your hands will be clean of the drug
game. Now my fake ass Godfather uncle,
will think you'll are big money earners without being involved in drugs, but
you will be in fact collecting drug money through gambling establishments. You will bank roll the numbers and get paid
for protecting the Gambling holes from Police Raids. Now my ultimate plan is to bring down the drug
game as it is known now, but if we don't play along with this game for now we
will be stepped on hard. Once this is
set up correctly, I will leave the scene and eventually I will go back into the
Army to complete my obligation.
JOHN GOTTI
I heard something about a
disease, they had you develop.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Yea! Be careful out there, I don't know exactly
what they plan to do with it, but I know how you can protect yourself from
it. That shit gets carried in the
blood. It's going to do huge damage if
they release that shit and common sense tells you if they asked for it, they
plan to use it. If people start getting
sick with weak immune systems, it's that shit.
Be careful where you stick your dick, and never use dope needles and you
should be all right.
JOHN GOTTI
What the fuck is going on
Paul?
PAUL CASTELLANO
Don't worry, just trust me,
this is a war we will ultimately win.
Trust me! But, it will not be
easy, the devil is a bad Mother fucker and this shit going on is nobody, but
the devil himself and he will be stopped.
You didn't think it would be an easy victory did you John?
JOHN GOTTI
No! But!
Mother fucker! Damn! Your right this is not the boy scouts!
PAUL CASTELLANO
John I know who I am, but
as long as they don't know that I know, they will fall right into my
hands. My Uncle is a fool, and when the
time comes we will deal with him.
INT. A CLUB &
GAMBLING SPOT. -- NIGHT
This was a meeting between
Paul Castellano and the Crew, the decision was made to go forward with the
Master Plan and now it was time to tell everyone how the Operation would be
run.
PAUL CASTELLANO
All Right guys, as of this
day I will refer to you'll as the Crew.
Carl will be my voice. I will not
be seen as a person in charge of this operation. I will be on the down low. I will be known as a small time hustler in
Queensbridge. The Crew will control the
drug traffic in Queensbridge, and you will make your pay off to the Gambino
Family through high rate interest loans, Gambling Spots like this one and the
Numbers Racket. This will protect John
from being directly involved in the Drug Racket, because the Gambino Family has
a no drug policy. You'll will have a few
night spots to gambling and party and you will have a direct line for Cocaine
out of Avon Park Florida. The Drugs come
in at Miami, but you will not be required to go any further down into Florida
than Avon Park which is 160 miles North of Miami. Yes Gentleman you'll will be involved in the
Cocaine trade. Avon Park is a small town
and the level of activity there is small.
Because of this you will be able to send out Transporters to this area
without bringing too much attention to yourselves. There will be an operation to move the stuff
from Miami to Avon in large skill to supply several operations on the East
Coast. The Crew from Queensbridge will
setup operations across the East Coast, but the Home Base will be
Queensbridge. Carl will be my buffer and
John will handle all the necessary connections and Frank will be located in
Avon. Once everything is in full
operation, I will go back and forth from New York to Florida, and basically be
a dude known for getting high and doing small time hustling, nobody can know my
capacity in this operation, enjoy the ride.
Any questions No? From here on, you will speak to me through
Carl, and John will be running this operation on the down low. And, when the time comes we will deal with
these Drug Families and Big Paul. But,
until then just enjoy the ride Gentleman.
Frank Clark Jones moved to
Avon Florida, Frank Paul Jones got on unemployment, because he was honorably
discharged from the Army. He got on
unemployment for 6 months, and got involved with small time hustling, like
Marijuana and Gambling at the Spot. He
dressed nice in things like Lizard Shoes and a Fur coat with a Beaver hat. He continued to practice on his bass guitar. People saw him as a big time small time
hustler, meaning for someone on a small skill, he was large, but the Crew was
known as big time and nobody associated him with them, other than when he
gambled with them at the Spot. The
Operation ran smoothly and nobody ever put two and two together to include Big
Paul Castellano, who would be dealt with when the time was right.
INT. AT A MAJOR
RECORDING STUDIO. -- DAY - 1977
Frank Paul Jones and
Raymond went out for New Years Eve Night, but on the way Raymond brought Paul
to a major recording studio. Raymond had
a KEY, if you remember the hit at Raymond's sister's house, Raymond
brought Paul there also. John Gotti
arranged this meeting between The Jackson Brothers and Paul Castellano.
RAYMOND
Paul are you ready, it's
time for you to do this studio work.
Raymond and Paul switched
coats, and all the Producer knew was that Paul was a Mulatto, but Raymond was
lighter than Paul, that is why they called him Red. He was Red and his hair was even Red, whereby
Paul was just an everyday light skin person.
PRODUCER
It's you I have been
waiting for?
RAYMOND
It's not me, he is Paul
Castellano!
PRODUCER
Are you'll ready?
RAYMOND
Give me a couple of minutes
to get him ready. Paul Castellano it's
time for you to do the bass lines for the Jackson Family!
PAUL CASTELLANO
Do you have everything I
told you'll to have?
PRODUCER
I have everything you
instructed us to have.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Let me hear what you have.
Paul Castellano listened to
the bass lines they had put together with the songs. He was there to do them over, with a lot of
funk and style.
PAUL CASTELLANO
(CONT'D)
This shit sucks, who did
this shit?
PRODUCER
I did!
PAUL CASTELLANO
Now I see why you'll need
me, this shit sucks. All right, get
ready to record, let's do this!
Paul Castellano did all the
bass lines for the Jackson's Destiny Album.
He did it all in one day. While
he was jamming, the song said, "That's the way I like it." Referring
to the bass lines.
RAYMOND
Paul! Look up there!
Paul looked up and he saw
Michael Jackson, he waved at Michael and Michael smiled and waved back, and
then he looked to the rear of the studio and saw the rest of the Jackson
Brothers. He had no idea all those people
were there. Paul had to do the bass
lines, because one of the Jackson Brothers stayed with the old record label
when they moved on. What Paul Castellano
did that day they couldn't duplicate?
That album sold double
platinum and put the Jackson's back on the charts and Michael Jackson
eventually broke the charts, this was to get things started again.
After Paul Castellano
jammed they gave Raymond some money for them to party at the Studio 54. They partied for a little while, and after
they ran out of money they went home and Frank Paul Jones didn't remember what
happened.
INT. NIGHT CLUB &
GAMBLING PLACE CALLED THE SPOT. -- NIGHT
This is a typical night at
the Spot for Paul, but this was the last night I Gambled there while in New
York City. I played in two dice games
the first one with people my age, and the second game with the older fellows
who had too much money for me to win.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Carl you're cutting the
game?
CARL
Yea I got it.
FRANK PAUL JONES
So let's gamble
fellows. Gamba! Gamba! Gamba!
Let's roll for the bank.
We rolled for the bank and
the highest number got the bank.
MICHAEL
My bank I got $50 in the
bank, I take all pushers and the rest are house rules.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I stop it!
Michael rolls the dice.
MICHAEL
C-Low I win!
FRANK PAUL JONES
I stop it again, I bet
$100.
AFTER A FEW ROLLS MICHAEL
ROLLS A FIVE. THEN AFTER A FEW ROLLS
FRANK ROLLS A SIX.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(CONT'D)
I win, it's my bank. I got $300 in the bank.
They gambled for about 3
hours until around 10 PM, Frank Paul Jones won in that game and had about $600
to get into the big game with the Crew and other people with big money. Frank played with them almost every weekend,
and by the end of the night he would lose, but he always got money out of the
game to collect the next day.
:
INT. THE SPOT LATER
THAT NIGHT. -- NIGHT
After gambling for about 4
hours.
FRANK PAUL JONES
C-Low my bank.
MOUSE
You have to put $500 or
better in the bank or give it up. I will
give you $100 for the bank.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I got the bank $700 is in
it.
They rolled dice for a
while and Frank was rolling winning numbers, the bank got up to $10,000. But these guys were big time hustlers and
even a couple of professional Boxers were there.
Paul played $100 worth of
number gave his friend Askia some money to hold, bought Cocaine from Mouse to
sniff, bought girls drinks. He go a lot
of money out of the game, because this game goes on for broke.
Everybody laid down big
bets and Frank Ace out. After everyone
was paid, Mouse was the last person on the payment line, and Frank paid out
about $3000. But Mouse had a $20,000
bet, and won the rest of the money in the bank which was about $7000.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(CONT'D)
Damn! Fuck!
I am busted, Paul had about $100 left in his pockets, but, he got money
out of the game as usual to get his hustle on during the week.
MOUSE
That's Paul Castellano, say
it, say it, you are Paul Castellano.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Fuck you Mouse.
MOUSE
This guy, you did good for
yourself, this guy always buys up my Cocaine with my Cocaine money.
PETE
Now get the hell out of
here Paul!
FRANK PAUL JONES
Fuck all of you'll.
MOUSE
Stop being a sore loser
Paul, one day all of this is going to be yours.
Frank Paul Jones didn't
know what they were talking about, he just knew he was in a game with big time
gangsters and lost before the end of the game as usual. And after so many months of getting high all
the time he was tired, and wanted a change of scenery.
INT. AT MY APARTMENT
LATE HOURS. -- NIGHT
I called my Father Frank
Clark Jones to tell him I was ready to move to Avon Park.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Hello, Daddy is this you.
FRANK CLARK JONES
What the hell are you doing
calling 4 O'clock in the damn morning?
FRANK PAUL JONES
I AM burnt out; I need to
get out of New York. I can't handle
anymore of this.
FRANK CLARK JONES
What's wrong Paul?
FRANK PAUL JONES
I AM burnt out, it seems
like nothing is working for me I need time to think. I got my G E D, and went to a school, but
they were just after my tuition, I need a break.
FRANK CLARK JONES
You can come down here, I
have a bedroom waiting for you, get a round trip ticket, so if you decide to go
back or I want to go to New York, we will have a train ticket. Now listen, I want to you destroy everything
in that damn apartment, I don't want that damn Tim to get anything that belongs
to me.
FRANK PAUL JONES
You're talking about
Lujuana's husband?
FRANK CLARK JONES
I can't stand that son of a
bitch; destroy everything in that damn apartment.
FRANK PAUL JONES
If you say so, I am ready
to leave as soon as I can.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Do what I told you and call
me back tomorrow.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Later!
I went crazy and destroyed
the apartment, the furniture you name it, I went crazy, and released all the
frustration I had built up in me. The
term for what I did was I had a fit.
Billy who lived under me on the 1st floor, laughed at me, he was happy
to see me fail. He was never a real
friend; in fact he was my worst enemy.
After I destroyed the apartment I went to sleep.
INT. AT THE
APARTMENT. -- DAY
Two days later I found out
I hit the number for $10,000. But I was
so burnt out, I didn't want the money, because I felt the money would have just
been used to continue to live like I was living, which was much too fast.
ASKIA
Paul you hit the number for
$10,000, you lucky mother fucker you. So
I guess this money I got for you I can keep?
FRANK PAUL JONES
I am tired man, I plan to
leave to Florida very soon, and my Father is expecting me. I don't want the money.
ASKIA
They said the money will be
ready for you to pick it up tomorrow.
FRANK PAUL JONES
You, Carl and the Fellows
can have that money, put it to good use.
ASKIA
Paul are you serious, we
are talking about $10,000, get your money and then go to Florida.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I need a rest man, money
comes and money goes, but without peace of mind, what good is it, you'll can
have it. My rent needs to be paid for 6
months back, and my sister is going to move into it, make sure all my ends are
covered and you'll guys get you'll a hustle started, I am leaving to take a rest. Understand Askia?
ASKIA
I will tell Carl and the
fellows what you said; I will never understand you Paul.
FRANK PAUL JONES
How many times have I lost
$10,000 in a dice game in the last 6 months?
ASKIA
Too many times to count!
FRANK PAUL JONES
So what good is it going to
do me, if I am burnt out, you'll guys put the money to good use, enjoy it.
ASKIA
I don't know what to say
Paul.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Don't say anything, but
what I told you to do. And, those two
guns you are holding for me, you can keep them, because if you get your hustle
on you just might need them.
ASKIA
Do you plan to come back?
FRANK PAUL JONES
To tell you the truth, I
don't know what the Master Plan is, but never count me out.
ASKIA
Why don't you just pay the
rent for one year and you will have it when you come back.
FRANK PAUL JONES
As much as my Father hates
Tim, Lujuana's husband, the fact is they need this place more than me. I will just take my bass and amp, and get out
of dodge.
ASKIA
Damn you fucked this
apartment up.
FRANK PAUL JONES
My Father told me to do it,
but make sure they have what they need to get started, they have their own
furniture, just make sure the rent is up to date.
ASKIA
So you are really headed to
Florida?
FRANK PAUL JONES
I am really tired Askia, I
have to rest up some or a pipe is going to bust.
ASKIA
A pipe is going to bust, I
think that happened already. Look at
this place. Fuck it, we are going to
give you a going away party.
FRANK PAUL JONES
What part of burnt out
don't you understand, my whole damn life has been one damn party since I got
out of the Army. The only thing I did
right was get a G E D. If you'll want to
have a party fine, but don't give it for me, give it for the money you just
got.
ASKIA
Good luck Paul, I know you
will be back; you love New York too much to leave and never come back.
FRANK PAUL JONES
You might be right, but
deep inside I know what I AM doing is for a good reason, what the reason is, I
don't know, but I have to make this move, and I need a rest man, and $10,000
will just keep me going without a break.
Take care everything for me promise me?
ASKIA
My word is bond.
FRANK PAUL JONES
All right than it is
settled!
INT. MY APARTMENT. --
DAY
The phone rings.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Hello Hello.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Paul it's me. It's your Daddy. I heard you hit the number big and is going
to give all the money away!
FRANK PAUL JONES
Yea, what I need is a
break, not more money to feed the madness.
If you want some of it, let them know.
I made arrangements to get the rent paid up to date for Lujuana.
FRANK CLARK JONES
As much as you love money,
they must have really put a job on you, for you to give up $10,000.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I AM just tired Daddy, I
really need a break. Like I said, just
get in touch with Carl and Askia, and tell them you need some of the money for
me, I told Askia to take care of my business.
FRANK CLARK JONES
All right, so when should I
expect you to come down here?
FRANK PAUL JONES
In about one week, once I
know everything is taken care of.
FRANK CLARK JONES
I will see you then, so
until then take it easy.
INT. THE AMTRAK TRAIN
CALLED THE SILVER STAR. -- DAY
I caught the train to
Florida; I basically relaxed during the ride, and did a lot of thinking about
what I had to do next.
EXT. AT THE TRAIN
STATION AT AVON FLORIDA. -- DAY
My Father and one of his
cousins met me at the train station.
MARSHELL
Let me get your bags Cuz.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I need help getting this
amplifier on the back of your pickup truck.
MARSHELL
Don't worry we have plenty
of room back there.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Oh hell no, I got to listen
to this crazy ass fool and his damn bass guitar?
FRANK PAUL JONES
I know it may sounds crazy
to you, but playing my bass guitar relaxes me.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Well this isn't the
Projects, you have to pay an electric bill here, so if you are going to
practice then practice, but don't be making those crazy ass noises you be
making. Marshell you haven't heard this
fool on the damn bass, that man is crazy.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I am an artist!
MARSHELL
You're an artist Cuz?
FRANK PAUL JONES
Yea, I am an artist, Daddy
just don't understand that even when I AM making noise, I AM building up my
arms and fingers muscles.
FRANK CLARK JONES
That's what you be doing?
FRANK PAUL JONES
Yea!
FRANK CLARK JONES
Well Paul we was expecting
you, and we are glad you came home to us, relax and get your head
together. Paul Castellano When you get a
chance we have to talk, about important stuff.
PAUL CASTELLANO
That is why I AM here!
INT. A MY FATHER'S
HOUSE. -- DAY
I took a shower and cleaned
up, my Father had something made for me to eat, then me, him, and Marshell had
a private conversation.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Paul Castellano is this
you?
PAUL CASTELLANO
Yes Frank & Marshell it
is me, I know you'll have a lot of questions, but just let me explain the
operation. The Family from Avon Park has
to move the product from Miami to Avon Park.
Now they have to act like small town hustlers, this will keep the heat
off of them. John will continue to
handle our Miami connections. The Family
in Avon Park has to make pay offs that reflect the hustle they are running in
Avon Park, this way nobody will expect the large amount of Cocaine being moved
out of Avon Park. The Crew will have
Transporters move the product up the East Coast to New York, from there they
will distribute the product back down the East Coast, but, the product will be
sold out of New York.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Why are you moving the
product out from Avon Park?
PAUL CASTELLANO
It's a small town, with a
small police force, and too much product is coming into Miami. If the Crew went down to Miami, they will be
able to put two and two together. Nobody
will expect large amounts of Cocaine to come out of Avon Park, and as long as
the fellows here, make a pay off, and operate a small time operation. Nobody will have an idea of how much Cocaine
is being moved out of here. The Crew
will send people with clean records to Avon Park to make the pick ups, in
specially designed cars and trucks, you just make sure you have good places to
stash the products.
MARSHELL
So we have to play the role
of small town hoods, pay the Police for the size of the operation everyone here
can see, but secretly supply the Crew in New York, who will supply many areas
up and down the East Coast?
PAUL CASTELLANO
You got it and now you
understand clearly what you have been doing for the last few months. This is how it has to be, to run a smooth
operation, without any major busts.
FRANK CLARK JONES
That is smart, but I am
still against drugs.
PAUL CASTELLANO
So am I, but we have no
control over the importation of this stuff, we just have to get a piece of the
action, until we can make a move against it.
People will suffer because of the drug game, but sometimes the end does
justify the means, when you have little control of a bad situation. Cocaine is going to make the Hispanics
powerful and we can't afford to not get a piece of the action, until we can
make a move against them. All said
Gentlemen, I think I will relax, that is why I came here, in the eyes of this
town. Make sure the word gets out that
Paul is burnt out and came home to rest, meanwhile behind the scenes I will get
everything in perfect order. That is it,
any questions?
MARSHELL
No!
FRANK CLARK JONES
No!
PAUL CASTELLANO
All right than for now we
are on the same page.
INT. IN A CAR. -- DAY
While riding in the car
going to the Train Station I was thinking and reflecting. Here is the things that was on my mind, this
is what I have done in Avon Park and what I faced in New York.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
After living in Avon Park
for a few months away from the fast lane, I was rested up, from all that
getting high everyday. Sure I drank some
brew and smoked some weed, but that was basically all the drugs I used in Avon
park. The Family in Avon park understood
their role in the big picture and everything was set up to insure a smooth
operation. They brought the stuff into
Avon Park from Miami and the Crew sent Transporters in from New York to supply
dealers up and down the East Coast. Very
few people knew how the Crew was being supplied, and the Family in Avon Park
paid the Police force off to maintain small operations, of basically nickel and
dime moves, the Law Enforcement in Avon Park had no idea it was a major
distribution center. While in Avon Park
I worked in the Agriculture Fields, I loaded Watermelons and made about $100
every other day, but most of the other guys made $150 six days a week. I had a house I didn't have to pay rent. I lived in my Uncles house while he was in
Miami. I even tried picking Oranges, and
I ended up owing the Contractor because I eat more food than I picked
fruit. So being I was rested up and knew
I couldn't survive in Avon Park at the time, I thought it was best that I
relocate back to New York. My oldest
sister Egeria agreed to put me up until I get myself together, I didn't have my
own apartment anymore in New York, because I moved out and my sister Lujuana
moved into the apartment my Father had in New York.
EXT. AT THE TRAIN
STATION. -- DAY
FRANK PAUL JONES
Thank you Daddy and thank you Marshell for the ride
to the train station.
MARSHELL
No problem Cuz!
FRANK CLARK JONES
Have a safe trip Paul. It looks like the train is running on time.
FRANK PAUL JONES
The man said it will be
here in about five minutes.
A few minutes passed.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Here comes your train.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Well I guess this is it.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Good-bye!
MARSHELL
Later Cuz!
FRANK PAUL JONES
I will see you'll.
CONDUCTOR
All Aboard!
INT. MY SISTER'S
APARTMENT. -- DAY
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
I moved in with my sister
Egeria, I had no idea how much of a madhouse she was running. She had this dude who was a homosexual called
Henry living with her, and he was more of her brother than I was. She used him to baby sit and clean her home;
if anyone had to leave I knew it would be me.
And as we bumped heads one of us had to leave. Then there was her man David he was a dope
addict. What I learned later was all
three of them were dope addicts, Henry and David died from AIDS. Egeria, I just enrolled at T C I in an
electronic technician program, I am going to be an electronic technician.
EGERIA
How are you going to pay
for it? I heard that is an expensive
school.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I have the old GI bill,
plus they said I can get grants and loans to cover tuition and living expenses.
EGERIA
Oh Henry you should go to T
C I like Paul so you can get some of
that Grant and loan money, while you get Welfare.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Why you want Henry to go to
T C I out of all the schools in New
York. Why can't he go to another
school? What, Now I have to see him in
school and when I get home. Oh and
people are going to think something is going on between me and him because we
will have the same address. Why T C I ?
HENRY
I think I could use some
education in the world of Technology. I
think I will go and see about that Egeria.
FRANK PAUL JONES
You'll are wicked! I don't know what you are trying to do, but
it won't work.
I knew that once my GI bill
kicked in I would be able to move out.
And, I knew for some reason my sister wanted me to look like I was a
homosexual. Just about all her friends
were homosexuals, and all they did was get high and act like bitches. I knew I had to get out of this apartment,
the place was insane.
EGERIA
What you think you are the
only person that can go to College.
FRANK PAUL JONES
No! I just don't understand why out of all the
schools in New York, he has to go to the same school as me, soon as he finds
out what I plan to do, and he is going to use the same address as me at the
school. This is wicked!
EGERIA
Well if you don't like it
you can move.
FRANK PAUL JONES
She didn't know, but that
was exactly what I planned to do.
INT. MY SISTER'S
APARTMENT. -- NIGHT
FRANK PAUL JONES
I got my money from my
student loan and grants, plus my GI bill is now coming in, so here is some
money to make us even. I plan to move to
Corona with Uncle Brother, he is going to rent me a room.
EGERIA
So you are going to leave
me.
FRANK PAUL JONES
The agreement was I stay
with you until I get myself together, and you really don't have enough room for
me. I am thankful for what you did for
me, but I can't handle Henry constantly hitting on me for sex. I AM not a homosexual and he can't respect
that and you let this go on.
EGERIA
He's right Henry, why don't
you respect Paul's wishes?
FRANK PAUL JONES
It's not just him Egeria;
it was your idea that he enrolled at T C I
as soon as I told you I was enrolled.
I should have kept it to myself, but I didn't know you was like
that. I love you and I am thankful to
you for opening your door to me, but the arrangement is all wrong.
EGERIA
How about Shirley, are you
going to stop seeing her.
FRANK PAUL JONES
We all know she is old
enough to be my mother, I consider her a friend, but I don't love her the way a
person loves a wife. Messing with older
women was fun without responsibility. I
just knew she didn't want my child, because I AM so young, but I don't love
Shirley. I don't love any of these women
I was messing with downtown, I was just enjoying myself. Plus now I have to study and with my part
time job, I can't be running behind a bunch of women I know there is no future
with.
EGERIA
So you just used them, your
no better than Henry.
FRANK PAUL JONES
If anyone got used it was
me, I am the very young adult and Shirley knew it wasn't going to last
forever. And, Sharon tried to play me
that is why I like to mess with older women, because of girls like Sharon. Look Egeria, I AM not trying to burn no bridges,
you know Henry is more important to you than I am. And, I have a hard time getting along with
him. I mean he doesn't just bother me at
home, he be creating rumors in school. I
don't know who he thinks he is, but I and he will never be.
EGERIA
Are you going to come and
see me?
FRANK PAUL JONES
Yes, I will come to see
you. I just don't want to live under the
same roof as Henry if I don't have to.
And, I AM in a financial condition where I don't have to live here with him
and he isn't leaving so I have to. I
love you and I love David, I just can't stand Henry and it is personal.
EGERIA
Just stay in touch and if
you want to move back in with me, just call me and the door is open to
you. I love you Paul. There's just things I can't tell you and
because of this, you don't understand.
There is more to it than what you see.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Well if he would have gone
to another school, I don't know if it would have came to this so fast, but, I
can't handle 24-7 faggot ass Henry.
INT. AT MY FATHER'S
UNCLE'S HOUSE IN CORONA. -- DAY
FRANK PAUL JONES
So Uncle Brother how much
are you going charge me for rent?
UNCLE BROTHER
$100 per week!
FRANK PAUL JONES
Isn't that a little steep?
UNCLE BROTHER
That is what I can get for
that room.
AUNT VERA
See Daddy that is why I
don't like to do business with Family, they all want something for nothing.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I didn't say I wanted
something for nothing, I just said I think the size of the room isn't a $100
per week room. If you can't go down I
will pay you what you asked for, but I have the right to negotiate. Don't I?
UNCLE BROTHER
Your rent is $100 per week
and I want two weeks in advance, and if you plan to move out, let me know two
weeks in advance, to get your money back.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Here's 4 weeks advance in
case I need to hold back on rent for an emergency or something. Fair?
UNCLE BROTHER
See Momma, Paul isn't
trying to get something for nothing.
Here is your keys Paul.
INT. AT MY UNCLE'S
HOUSE IN CORONA. -- NIGHT
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
I stayed with them for
about 9 months, I never really felt at home, they didn't treat me the way I
thought they would. I was like only a
paycheck to them. But, just before I left
Corona two major events took place, one in Corona and one in California. I got two girls pregnant. One of the girls didn't know it was me, and
one of the girls I didn't know it was her and both of them did what they did
because they didn't think I would survive.
I was sleep after heavy
drinking and didn't know what was going on, the next day I knew something was
missing, but there was no sign of a wet dream.
A girl name Lori came to me with my cousin Pat, and had sex with me
while I was sleep and drunk.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(CONT'D)
Good Morning Pat, good
morning Lori.
LORI
Paul do you feel something?
FRANK PAUL JONES
Feel what?
LORI
How do you feel?
FRANK PAUL JONES
I feel all right
Deep within I felt like she
was trying to tell me something, because I felt like I ejaculated, but I didn't
remember anything from that night before.
INT. JANET'S PARENTS
ESTATE IN CALIFORNIA. -- NIGHT
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
Remember the pact I made
with the Jackson Family concerning wedlock?
Well the time had come for a major phase of this pact. I came to there estate to have Janet's
virginity at age 13 years old, and I was 20.
It was by parental consent so it wasn't rape, and the only people who
were in the room were me and Janet, so it wasn't Child Pornography.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Janet I love you, but I
don't want to hurt you.
JANET
You have to do it, you must
and I am ready.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I just don't want to hurt
you.
JANET
Do it now.
PAUL CASTELLANO
All right.
I busted Janet's Cherry,
there was a little blood and it was hard to get into, she jerked for a moment
because it hurt her a little. I
ejaculated in her.
PAUL CASTELLANO
(CONT'D)
Janet I have to put you to
sleep and you will not remember it was me, but deep in your heart you will know
I will come back to you. I will come
back to you, I promise.
JANET
You are going to leave me
and I will not remember this?
PAUL CASTELLANO
Yes!
JANET
Why?
PAUL CASTELLANO
Someday you will
understand, I promise I will come back to you!
Janet was put under
hypnosis and was put into a deep sleep.
A basketball player was at the house because he was in town to have a
physical examination, before he was drafted into the NBA.
PAUL CASTELLANO
(CONT'D)
Johnson go into that room,
you have to see something. Hurry up.
JACKSON
This room?
PAUL CASTELLANO
Yes that room!
Magic Johnson went into the
room where Janet was and when she woke up, he was the first person she
saw. So she believed it was him, but he
knew it wasn't him. And, for a long time
Janet thought Magic was the father of her Daughter she had at age 14 years
old. These were two secrets about Paul
that not many people knew about and it was all based on the idea that he would
get killed.
INT. AT MY SISTER'S
APARTMENT. -- DAY
I couldn't afford to stay
with my Father's Uncle anymore, because a teacher that taught us Computer
Programming didn't know what he was doing, and because of this he failed the
whole class. The school said we had to complete
this class to graduate, it was a requirement.
So I couldn't maintain my part time job and go to school in the Morning
and afternoon both. My money was getting
short, plus I only had enough GI bill for one more term. So I had to stay with my sister, to afford
school and living expenses.
I paid my tuition and had a
little money set aside to make my money last long enough to complete the
Course.
EGERIA
Paul you have to pay
Henry's tuition.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Get serious!
EGERIA
I am serious, Henry blew
his money last night at a bath house, and he can't pay his tuition.
FRANK PAUL JONES
That is his problem and not
mine's.
EGERIA
Either pay his tuition or
get out.
FRANK PAUL JONES
You are going to put me
out, because I won't pay a faggots tuition and you call yourself my sister?
EGERIA
Go to hell you bastard.
Egeria went crazy on me,
she threw grease on my winter coat, punched me in the nose and my nose started
to bleed. So I threw one of David's Bose
501 Speakers, and then a so called friend called Robert Jones told her,
"Throw his Bass Guitar out the window." She threw my Bass Guitar out
the window, 11 stories down, and that broke my heart. In fact the whole thing was a major disappointment.
I was so hurt from this
that I just dropped out of school and went back to Florida. My whole stay in New York this trip was about
my Family using me.
INT. AT MY SISTER'S
APARTMENT. -- DAY
I called my Father in
Florida and told him about what happened and that I was coming back to Florida,
because I had nowhere to stay to finish school.
INT. THE PENN STATION
TRAIN STATION. -- DAY
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
I caught the first train
out of town, because I was so hurt by what happened to me. I never hated my Family for how the
mistreated me, but I didn't understand why they did what they did. Everything in my life happened for a reason,
so it seemed, I just didn't understand.
I didn't know anything about these children to be born either; I just
left New York feeling empty.
CONDUCTOR
All Aboard!
EXT. OUTSIDE THE
TRAIN STATION IN AVON. -- DAY
FRANK CLARK JONES
How was your trip?
FRANK PAUL JONES
It was all right!
FRANK CLARK JONES
You have to forgive your
sister Paul, she has problems that she has to one day face.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I don't hate her, but she
is a faggot lover. You know I have to
wonder about David, because no real man would put up with that shit.
FRANK CLARK JONES
David has been a drug
addict as long as I can remember, he depends on Egeria.
FRANK PAUL JONES
He is a cool dude in many
ways, but I think his habits is going to destroy him. He is a weak man, and Egeria is a bitch. I can't help but to worry about the children.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Just stick in there Paul.
INT. AT MY FATHERS'S
HOUSE. -- DAY
FRANK PAUL JONES
My cousin W.J. told me if I
get a G E D, I can get a job at the Prison.
FRANK CLARK JONES
I thought you had one of
those Diplomas?
FRANK PAUL JONES
I do, but I got it in New
York, which means it is good in Florida, because New York standards are higher;
I just have to have it changed over to include Florida. There is a course at the college to do this;
in fact they said I can get a State Diploma.
FRANK CLARK JONES
When are you going to
start?
FRANK PAUL JONES
I AM already in! I got a Florida State High School Diploma,
and went through orientation to become a Correctional Officer. I got a job as a Correctional Officer at A P
C I, meaning Avon Park Correctional
Institution. The pay wasn't much, but it
was one of the best jobs in the area for high school graduates, it was with the
state.
EXT. ON THE ROAD
GOING TO A P C I -- DAY
It was during a rain storm,
and we couldn't see more than 10 or 20 feet ahead clearly. We were running late, and Cadillac Joe was
doing about 90 MPH. I didn't have a
driver license so I depended on people to take me to work.
Cadillac Joe was talking to
me about an argument I had with my Father, and wasn't paying good attention to
the road. He realized too late that he
couldn't stop the car at the checkpoint and had to go pass the checkpoint. The problem was there was a car at the
entrance and the exit.
He tried to bend over and
let the car crash with me sitting up, but I beat him to the seat, so he had to
drive through this accident. A woman
Correctional Officer was talking to the person at the exit, and Cadillac Joe
headed towards her, so the Male Correctional Officer ran out to push her out of
the way, and he got hit.
Both of his legs got
broken, when they cut off his boots you could see his bones. The woman was shaken up, and by the grace of
God, a root from a tree stopped the car from going into the lake or flipping
over. I walked away from the accident
unscratched. Joe went to the hospital
and I went to work. Because the front
gate was patrolled by the Prison Guards that day, he got away with this
accident, because the prison is on an Air Force Base. If he would have hit a Airman, it would have
been a Federal Investigation, and I don't know if Joe was sober, I know I had a
hangover and we were out late that night before.
CADILLAC JOE
Jones are you all right?
FRANK PAUL JONES
Yea man I am all right, how
about you?
CADILLAC JOE
I AM all right, but, I
think I hurt my arm; I AM going to the hospital.
FRANK PAUL JONES
You sure that is what you
want to do?
CADILLAC JOE
What do you mean Jones?
FRANK PAUL JONES
I don't know, I am going to
work, they said they are short today.
Damn did you see his legs; you can see the bones man.
CADILLAC JOE
He ran into the car trying
to be a hero, he came from nowhere, I couldn't avoid him!
FRANK PAUL JONES
All right Cadillac, I will
catch you later, and I have to go to the compound.
CADILLAC JOE
Hey, be careful about what
you say!
FRANK PAUL JONES
What is there to say, but
we were running late and couldn't slow down in time.
CADILLAC JOE
I will see you later.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Later!
INT. AT MY FATHER'S
HOUSE. -- NIGHT
FRANK PAUL JONES
I know you heard about what
happened today at the prison!
FRANK CLARK JONES
Damn you and Joe was lucky
as Hell.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I think I AM going to resign
from the prison, because my paperwork is ready for me to go back into the Army.
FRANK CLARK JONES
That will not be for
another month.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I can't risk saying the
wrong thing at the prison; I don't want to be a part of their
investigation. Even though I wasn't
driving I had an hangover and I don't think Cadillac Joe was sober, I don't
know. But, I don't want anything to get
in the way of me going back to the Army.
FRANK CLARK JONES
You might have something
there, they don't have anything on you, because they didn't take a blood test
and sent you to work, but you could screw up Joe. How is your cash flow?
FRANK PAUL JONES
They owe me a check for two
weeks it should last until I leave back into the Army.
FRANK CLARK JONES
I think you are doing the
wise thing here Paul, because a lot of people with good names vouched for you,
and you don't need anything to make them and yourself look bad.
INT. MIAMI FLORIDA
MILITARY INSTALLATION. -- DAY
I was inducted back into
the United States Army.
SERGEANT MAJOR
Private Jones are you ready
to leave today, or do you have some business you have to finish home. I have a Unit for you to train within a week.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I can't go home and say
good-bye?
SERGEANT MAJOR
If all you want to do is
say good-bye, you can make a phone call.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I just didn't know I was
leaving today, and my Father thought I would be coming home from Miami. But, I have no problem with leaving today.
SERGEANT MAJOR
Good than we will ship you
out today to Fort Sill, there will be a class waiting for you when you get
there. Good luck!
INT. ON THE PLANE TO
FORT SILL -- DAY
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
I flew to Fort Sill Oklahoma,
to be trained as a Fire Support Specialist, which is a Forward Observer. The guy who calls in Field Artillery bombs.
I had a hard time making it
through training at Fort sill, I was like the real life Officer and a
Gentleman. They made me beg to not get
kicked out of the Army, because of my last discharge; they wanted to know that
I was serious about being in the Army this time. I had one mission in my mind which was to get
an honorable discharge no matter what I had to do to get it and believe me this
was brought to a test. From Fort Sill I
was sent to Fort Polk Louisiana, to the 5th Infantry Division.
EXT. FORT POLK ARMY
POST. -- DAY - 1981-1983
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
My tour at Fort Polk seemed
like it was my best experience in the Army, but a couple of things happened
that wasn't so pleasant to people I loved while I was there. However, I had no idea at the time that these
things were going on. The first
experience I remember at Fort Polk was with this guy from Louisiana and
Georgia. The guy from Georgia was a
bully and the dude from Louisiana was a punk.
WALLACE
Pvt. Jones have a drink,
and prove you are a man.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Drinking makes me a man; if
it does I am a fucking senior citizen.
WALLACE
So you like a good drink
once in a while?
FRANK PAUL JONES
You can say that.
Wallace was drunk and
talking crazy.
WALLACE
Do you like girls?
FRANK PAUL JONES
I love them!
WALLACE
Good one day I will take
you to the Casino.
FRANK PAUL JONES
What's the Casino, a
gambling spot?
Wallace and Price laughed.
PRICE
I guess you can say that,
because when you go there, you don't know what you might catch.
WALLACE
Don't listen to him, he is
afraid of Pussy, there is this lady named Cocoa, man is she fine.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Cocoa?
WALLACE
Yea, her name is Cocoa, she
is mines.
PRICE
She is yours as long as
your money is right.
WALLACE
One more crack out of you,
and I am going to put my foot up your ass, and you can catch that.
PRICE
Jones you mess with
Prostitutes.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I will if I can't find a
sex partner, who isn't trying to tie me down, I didn't come her to get married.
PRICE
You and Wallace should get
along, you'll are two drunks and love prostitutes, when I first saw you I
thought you was different, your like the rest of them.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Price what are you talking
about?
PRICE
I didn't say anything.
WALLACE
I told you he is afraid of
Pussy, he is a bitch.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Damn Price, Wallace is all
over your shit, what is up with that?
WALLACE
Price if you say something
else, I am going to put my foot up your ass.
PRICE
I don't have nothing to
say, you'll can enjoy yourselves.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
Price walk out of the room,
and Wallace told me about Fort Polk, and this place called the Casino, where I
met some of the finest prostitutes in my Military career. The funny thing is Cocoa became my main ho.
EXT. IN THE FIELD. --
DAY
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
At Fork Polk as a Fire
Support Specialist, we spent about 6 months out of the year in the woods or the
desert. We went to the Mojave Desert in
California twice a year for 30 days stays.
We were preparing for desert warfare, before people even imagined we
would go to war over there in the Middle East.
Before I tell you about something that happened while I was at the
Mojave Desert I want to give you a little background about my experience at
Fort Polk. Aside from my activities with
prostitutes, being we worked hard and played hard also, I went up the ranks
fast. I went from Private-E2 to
Specialist-E4 in about a little more than one year and the 1st Sergeant loved
me. Like I said, I enjoyed being
stationed in Fort Polk, but there was a dark side to this tour that I wasn't
aware of at the time and people I loved suffered while I was having a regular
party.
EXT. MOJAVE DESERT.
-- NIGHT
I and a Sergeant First
Class went into the dark desert on a mission that had nothing to do with the
Army. We had points we went to refuel,
and we ended up at the Estate of the Famous Jackson Family.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Open the damn gate, this is
Paul Castellano, and if you don't know you better find out!
HEAD SECURITY
Open the gates we were
expecting him.
SECURITY GUARD
That's the man; he is in an
Army uniform, riding in a Jeep.
JERMAINE
That's him.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Where is Janet?
HEAD SECURITY
Take him to Janet!
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
When I got to Janet she was
sedated and asleep, but my direct orders was that the doctor on standby do
nothing until I got there, because what I was about to do was beyond his
abilities.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Didn't I tell you to wait
until I get here, you was about to botch this operation, and that would have
cost you your life.
(Yelled)
What the fuck you think you
are doing bitch.
Then Paul Castellano using
a laser device cut up the doctor, the operation was done with a laser device.
DOCTOR
You cut me I AM bleeding
badly!
PAUL CASTELLANO
So what you are a doctor
treat yourself. If you was going to use
this on Janet, you would have stopped the bleeding right? Get the fuck out of my face, I clearly told
you to wait until I get here. Sergeant I
might need your help to do this. What's
up John?
JOHN GOTTI
Damn Paul you fucked that
guy up, he didn't mean anything.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I told him to wait for me,
I can't chance this operation being botched.
You just be ready to freeze this shit when I say so.
JOHN GOTTI
Just give me the word.
I used a laser device to
surgically remove Janet's breast that was the other part of the pact made at
the MSG in 1975. I knew Janet was at
high risk to get breast cancer, and my mother told me to do this and I told
Joseph I would do this, and once it was said, it had to happen. Two things were accomplished by this
operation.
#1) Janet was made sterile
and #2) we prevented her from developing breast cancer.
She got her breast back
which was why she came back to me, but the third thing nobody thought about and
it became the real challenge, it was that Janet was scorned by this, but I had
no choice other than to move Medical Technology ahead of it's time, and knowledge
is the only thing I would have to sell when the time came for me to come on to
the scene.
PAUL CASTELLANO
John freeze them now.
JOHN GOTTI
I got it!
PAUL CASTELLANO
Please now man, move it!
JOHN GOTTI
I said I got it!
PAUL CASTELLANO
Janet I know you can't hear
me, but in your heart you will be able to deal with this hardship, because you
know everything will be all right. I
love you Janet, but I had to do this!
As we were leaving the
estate.
PAUL CASTELLANO
(CONT'D)
(Yelled)
If anybody gets between me
and Janet, I will kill them do you understand?
If anybody and I mean anybody gets between me and Janet I will kill
them.
We drove off back to the
desert; I didn't remember any of this.
INT. IN THE BARRACKS
AT FORT POLK. -- DAY
I bought Janet's first
album, she took a picture in water, and you could only see her face and hair.
ERNEST
Janet doesn't have any
breast!
PAUL CASTELLANO
What are you talking about,
she is only 16 years old, they shouldn't be that big, but I AM sure she has
some.
ERNEST
I'll let you tell it, but
Janet doesn't have any breast.
I didn't understand what he
was talking about at the time, but it was something that Frank Paul Jones
heard, that one day he would understand, her breast were surgically removed
before the release of her first album.
INT. IN THE BARRACKS
IN FORT POLK. -- NIGHT
I and some of my friends at
Fort Polk had a discussion concerning the Thriller album. The word was that Michael Jackson's label
wanted it released as soon as possible, but I had a need for it to be perfect
all the way down to the cowbells on P Y T.
YOUNG
Come on Jones the album is
slamming.
FRANK PAUL JONES
It has to be perfect.
YOUNG
Tell him is this album
slamming?
GROUP
It' nice Jones.
FRANK PAUL JONES
There is something in the
cowbells.
YOUNG
Give me the cowbells.
He played the cowbells.
YOUNG (CONT'D)
Are you happy now, let them
release his album.
FRANK PAUL JONES
O.K.
INT. AT THE FIRST
SERGEANT'S OFFICE. -- DAY
I was told to go to the
first sergeant's office, I thought I did something wrong.
FIRST SERGEANT GIBBS
Specialist Jones I have
some bad news for you. At ease. Your sister was in a car accident.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Which one?
FIRST SERGEANT GIBBS
The girl living with your
Daddy and your father wants you to come home to see her. Are you going home?
FRANK PAUL JONES
Yes First Sergeant!
FIRST SERGEANT GIBBS
Than I will put you on
emergency leave, and contact the Red Cross.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Yes First Sergeant.
FIRST SERGEANT GIBBS
Are you all right?
FRANK PAUL JONES
Yes First Sergeant! I will get packed as soon as possible.
FIRST SERGEANT GIBBS
I want you to travel in
your Dress Greens.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Yes First Sergeant.
INT. ON THE BUS
HEADED TO FLORIDA. -- DAY
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
I had no idea how serious
the car accident was I should have known something when the First Sergeant told
me to travel in my Dress Greens. At
Permanent duty stations, very few people travel in Dress Greens.
EXT. AT THE BUS
STATION ABOUT ONE AND A HALF DAYS LATER. -- DAY
MARSHELL
It's about time Cuz, why
did you come by bus, didn't they tell you Ella was in a car accident.
FRANK PAUL JONES
How is she?
MARSHELL
I don't know man, your
Father just wanted you to come to Avon Park, he said, once you get here
everything would be all right, but it doesn't look too good. You just have one bag?
FRANK PAUL JONES
Yea, I AM on emergency leave,
once the situation is under control I have to go back to Fort Polk.
We arrived at the
house. I walked into the house.
FRANK CLARK JONES
(Crying)
Paul Castellano, please
don't take my daughter away from me.
Anything but not my little girl.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Damn Ella got bruised up
some!
FRANK PAUL JONES
I didn't know how serious
the accident was or I would have taken a plane to Avon Park. Ella was laying on the coach dead, she died
in that car accident, and Frank was asking for a miracle.
PAUL CASTELLANO
That is not Ella, that
woman there is not stupid. You can call
her Ella, but she is the least of me.
Get up, wake up!
Ella woke up and smiled at
Paul Castellano.
PAUL CASTELLANO
(CONT'D)
Go to the bathroom I know
you need to use the bathroom after three days.
There might be a little blood in it, but you will be all right.
Frank Clark Jones was in
amazement, he couldn't believe what he saw, and he smiled.
PAUL CASTELLANO
(CONT'D)
Ella you will go through a
healing process and it will be painful, but you will recover.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Frank you will have to take
care of her, you will even have to give her baths, but she will recover, and
she will be all right. Now I will go and
get me a beer.
I went to my Aunt's lounge
to drink some beer.
AUNT LOIS
How can you come in here
and drink beer and your sister is dead.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Ella?
AUNT LOIS
Who in the hell do you
think I am talking about?
FRANK PAUL JONES
I just spoke to Ella, she
is cut up and bruised, but, she isn't dead.
AUNT LOIS
That is bullshit, I saw
her, and Ella is dead.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Well if you don't believe
me you can call my Father, but, meanwhile give me my beer, I Am on emergency
leave, and have to get out of town very soon.
A beer please.
Aunt Lois called my Father,
and he told her Ella was all right, and was just bruised up.
AUNT LOIS
Get the hell out of here, I
got to go down to the house and see this for myself, I saw Ella and she was
dead.
Aunt Lois went down to the
house a couple of blocks from her club to witness for herself what was revealed
to her.
What Frank did until Paul
Castellano got to town was rubbed Ella down with ointment to kill the smell of
death; Ella was dead for about three days.
INT. BACK AT FORT
POLK IN THE FIRST SERGEANT'S OFFICE. -- DAY
FIRST SERGEANT GIBBS
So how is your sister?
FRANK PAUL JONES
She will be all right; she
got a little banged up. Why didn't you
tell it is was so serious, they got on me for taking the bus, instead of a
plane.
FIRST SERGEANT GIBBS
Your father knew you would
make everything right!
Frank Paul Jones didn't
know what he was talking about.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Yes First Sergeant!
FIRST SERGEANT GIBBS
You can take it easy for a
couple of days.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Thanks for everything.
EXT. ARMY POST IN
GERMANY. -- DAY
The time had come to leave
Fort Polk and go back to Germany, and I was sent to the same town, but to
different Barracks. The name of the town
is Swhweinfurt Germany.
STAFF SERGEANT
WINSTON
Welcome to Germany, we have
been expecting you.
FRANK PAUL JONES
So this is it?
STAFF SERGEANT
WINSTON
Yes this will be your home
for the next year and a half or so.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Do you like it here Staff
Sergeant Winston?
STAFF SERGEANT
WINSTON
It's a job. You just missed Latoya Jackson; she came here
to check out your new home.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Why would she do that?
STAFF SERGEANT
WINSTON
Don't ask me, she came with
her manager, this little short White dude, and he is a funny dude. They changed the grease they fried chicken
with just for her, she said the chicken was good, then she performed at the E M
club.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Was it a good show?
STAFF SERGEANT
WINSTON
She was all right, the
Enlisted Men went crazy. I know you may
not understand what I AM trying to tell you now, but I was told to tell you
this. Welcome to Swhweinfurt Germany, a
home of the 3rd Infantry Division.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Thank you.
EXT. THE BAVARIAN
MOUNTAINS. -- DAY
We went on a field trip to
see the mountains of Bavaria. At this
place where we went there were men who called themselves Monks. Most of them were fat, and they made there
own home made brew.
I was brought to a Monk who
had a message for me; I call these mountains the mountains of deception.
MONK
How do you like it up here?
PAUL CASTELLANO
All I see is bunch of
mountains, to be honest.
MONK
How would you like to stay
here and rule the world?
PAUL CASTELLANO
After my tour in Germany I
have to go back home.
MONK
You could stay here and we
will send for that girl, and everything you can imagine will be at hands
length.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Who are you going to send
for? Janet?
MONK
Forget about that little
girl, we will send for the beautiful one Latoya, she said, if you stay she will
come and live with you. If you decide to
stay, we will show you what is inside these mountains, it will amaze you.
PAUL CASTELLANO
The only thing that amazes
me is you, you're the Devil himself, and they brought me here so that you can
tempt me. Man I am not staying up here.
This conversation went on
for a while, I don't know how long, but, when Staff Sergeant Winston came back
for me he said.
STAFF SERGEANT
WINSTON
You are still here!
Then he laughed and said.
STAFF SERGEANT
WINSTON (CONT'D)
He made his decision, and
he doesn't want to stay here, so we will take him back to Swhweinfurt.
INT. A SECRET MEETING
PLACE. -- NIGHT
STAFF SERGEANT
WINSTON
Paul Castellano, the last
time you was here your orders were to create a incurable disease, today they
call it AIDS. This time they want you to
develop a nuclear bomb umbrella, which will be called Star Wars. Can we depend on you?
PAUL CASTELLANO
It's as good as done.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
A lot of people don't know
how this research was financed. There
was a bill called the Deregulation Bill by President Ronald Reagan. The Bill became what was known as the Savings
& Loan scandal. What it was all about was money being loaned
to finance Projects that didn't exist, so a lot of money disappeared, and that
money financed the Star Wars Program.
Then came the bail out, whereby the tax payers had to bail out lending
institutions. But, in reality they were
paying for Star Wars Technology. So the
tax payers got there money worth out of the deal, and the Star Wars Program was
said to be impossible, but in fact became a covert operation, and Paul
Castellano was behind it.
INT. AT A CLUB IN
SWHWEINFURT GERMANY. -- NIGHT
A bunch of guys from my
unit went to a guest house in Germany to drink and party. There was this guy name Tally who was being
kicked out of the Army for selling drugs.
He had a girlfriend who was a whore, and she sat on my lap and let me
penetrate her. By this time I was
hitting it off with the women in Germany, and I didn't know he loved that girl,
so I told people what happened, and the word got to Tally, and he sought
revenge.
One of my drinks was
drugged at the club, and after the club closed we walked back. It wasn't that we didn't have money to take a
cab back; it was a setup, to allow this stuff to take effect. When I got back to the barracks I went to
sleep.
TALLY
All right Washington, he is
knocked out, if you fuck that Mother fucker in the Ass, I will give you my
connections here, and your money flow will be beautiful.
MAC
Why do you want to do this
to that man, what did he do to you?
TALLY
Fuck that Nigger, he fucked
my old lady.
MAC
She isn't your wife, and
you can't take her with you, so why are you tripping?
TALLY
Are you going to do it
Washington?
WASHINGTON
Bet! Fuck Jones!
Now if I do this you'll have to have my back?
TALLY
Don't worry you will be
working for the First Sergeant soon, I told you I will get you connected right?
While I was drugged
Washington raped me, I felt the pain of the penetration, but I couldn't fight
him off, I was too weak. The next
morning I thought it was a bad dream, but realized I was actually raped.
The unit covered it up and
I vowed to get an honorable discharge no matter what I had to do to get it.
INT. AT A HOTEL WITH
REV. JACKSON. -- NIGHT
Staff Sergeant Winston who
was my KEY arranged a meeting with me and Rev. Jesse Jackson.
REV. JACKSON
Who are you?
Frank Paul Jones was in the
process of becoming Paul Castellano, right before Rev. Jackson.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I am afraid; they are going
to kill me.
Then Paul Castellano
started laughing, saying Frank Paul Jones is a baby, and he wasn't that body he
just resides in it.
REV. JACKSON
Why you let them do what
they did to Paul.
PAUL CASTELLANO
He has to overcome it, he
had to know, but he has to overcome it.
REV. JACKSON
What are you going to do to
the people responsible for this?
PAUL CASTELLANO
What do you suggest?
REV. JACKSON
They must die.
PAUL CASTELLANO
You are right and I assume
you are afraid for your life as well, but you will be all right, it's all a
part of the Master Plan.
The decision was made to
protect Jesse, because he had a strong Presidential campaign and the decision
was made to handle the people who raped Paul.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
I don't remember the last
day in Germany of this tour. All I
remember was being with a prostitute in Frankfurt, who told me I had to return
to Swhweinfurt to resolve this situation, then I saw Staff Sergeant Winston who
said, there he goes, and then later on that night I remember sweating on top of
the same prostitute, and she said, now you can go home.
INT. IN AVON FLORIDA
AT MY FATHER'S HOUSE. -- DAY
I showed my Father a
picture of the person who raped me with his social security number on the back
of it and I will make him pay for what he did.
FRANK CLARK JONES
Give me that damn picture,
he is dead already.
Then he ripped the picture
up. For about six months after getting
out of the Military I got drunk, because I was a broken man.
INT. MILITARY
INSTALLATION IN FLORIDA. -- DAY
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
I never really looked for a
job, and just before my six months was up whereby if I reenlisted I would have
lost one rank, I joined the Army again, but it wasn't the same, even as I
reenlisted to go back to Fort Polk. I
married a stranger to get out of the barracks in fear of being raped again due
to my drinking problem, and I was put under a lot of pressure by Sergeant First
Class Felbush. He would tell me John
Gotti needs you, but I didn't understand what he was talking about. I was burnt out from all this covert shit and
didn't know what was going on. One day I
decided I had to get out of the Army, and I went AWOL. I went to [A Town in] Louisiana and got a
phone call at a Motel and went to see this guy, who blew his own head off. This was a favor from John Gotti. Then the next morning I got on the road and
drove to New York, stopping only for food and relief. It took about one and a half days. When I got to New York I was taken to a secret meeting that determined the fate
of the fake Godfather Big Paul. This
meeting took place in September 1995 and he was whacked in December 1995, and
after I returned to the Army for my punishment in September, I was released
from retraining in February 1996 and discharged in July 1987. After I got out of retraining I was still in
the Army, I just didn't have a duty assignment, and I ended up experiencing
homelessness, because I returned to New York short on money and didn't trust
certain people enough to put my Welfare in their hands because of past
experiences of mistreatment and like I said, I was a broken man.
EXT. IN THE
QUEENSBRIDGE PROJECTS ON 5 JULY 1989. -- DAY
A dude called Chico walked
up to me showing me that he had a gun.
CHICO
Somebody is here to see
you.
FRANK PAUL JONES
If you are going to kill
me, kill be here, because I AM not going anywhere with you.
The reason for this
response was I use to go to his bar and give him a hard time, because I
couldn't handle my alcohol consumption, so I thought he was out to hurt
me. I was just let out the hospital for
one day, for administrative reasons after detoxification and was scheduled to
go back into the hospital for 28 days of alcohol rehabilitation.
Chico walked off after an
argument. Then a dude named Russell
walked up to me and asked me what in the hell was wrong with me. He showed me he wasn't packing and KEYED
in Paul Castellano, he had a KEY.
He took me to a Park two
blocks away from where we were. I saw
Janet, a Producer name Jimmy Jam, and an old friend who arranged this meeting a
radio personality named Dr. Bob Lee.
PAUL CASTELLANO
What is going on?
RUSSELL
That girl came to see you.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Who?
JANET
Me Paul, you told me to
say, "Come to you."
I started to remember
things again; those were code words to wake me up.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I said, for you to say
"Come to me."
I remembered the meeting in
1975 when the arrangement was made. A
lot of things came back to me. We walked
to a bench and talked for a little while, as I asked her crazy questions, like,
"Are you real?" "Is that
your real nose?" And so on.
JANET
I want my breast back!
PAUL CASTELLANO
Janet I love you and
everything is going to be all right, but I have to do what I AM about to do to
protect you.
I cursed her out and called
her a whore, because I knew I had to face a very powerful man and I didn't know
who he was and I didn't want Janet to be used as leverage against me. Everybody was surprised of my behavior, but
Janet knew it was all an act.
INT. INSIDE A PUB IN
QUEENSBRIDGE. -- DAY
Next thing I knew I was
inside of a bar, and I saw a few people, but I mainly notice the three men in
the back of the Pub. One of the men had
a gun with a silencer.
PAUL CASTELLANO
What are you going to do,
are you going to kill me?
I got louder and louder.
PAUL CASTELLANO
(CONT'D)
Are you going to kill me?
The man in the middle said
he isn't going to kill you Paul. Hey put
that gun away!
Then the man in the middle
said, Chico has something you have to drink.
I said I don't drink anymore I just got out of detoxification. The man in the middle said it isn't alcohol,
it is truth serum and you have to drink it.
PAUL CASTELLANO
(CONT'D)
I don't drink!
RUSSELL
(yelled)
Didn't the man say drink
the shit, now damn it drank the shit?
I drank the shit.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Damn that shit is strong,
when I was drinking were was that shit?
Then like something out of
Mission Impossible, the man in the middle took off a mask.
PAUL CASTELLANO
(CONT'D)
I know you!
The man in the middle said,
how do you know me?
PAUL CASTELLANO
(CONT'D)
I saw you in the newspaper.
The man in the middle said,
who I am.
PAUL CASTELLANO
(CONT'D)
You're John Gotti!
JOHN GOTTI
Can you believe this guy?
Everybody laughed.
JOHN GOTTI (CONT'D)
Paul they are going to kill
me, I am as good as dead. You can't go
around killing a Godfather.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Who are you?
JOHN GOTTI
The Godfather!
PAUL CASTELLANO
So how can they go around
and kill you.
JOHN GOTTI
I am here to settle with
you Paul; if you want me to I will kill myself, because I was disloyal.
PAUL CASTELLANO
How could you be disloyal
when you are the man?
JOHN GOTTI
Just give me the word and I
will kill myself.
While he was saying this I
had a gun pointed at my own head, but, it seemed to me that John had the gun
pointed at his head. So if I gave him
the order to kill himself, it would have been me pulling the trigger on myself.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Show me both of your hands.
John Gotti showed Paul both
of his hands,
PAUL CASTELLANO
(CONT'D)
How could you have a gun
pointed at your head, and both of your hands are free?
Then Paul Castellano
realized the gun was pointed at his head.
PAUL CASTELLANO
(CONT'D)
Get this fucking gun off of
my head. You want to kill me.
JOHN GOTTI
No Paul I just had to know
it was you; I didn't know who the Army sent back.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Well Paul Castellano would
never kill John Gotti, so if I ordered you to kill yourself it couldn't have
been me.
JOHN GOTTI
Paul you have to get me out
of this shit, you are going to have to show me something, before I pay you.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Where is Janet, where is
Janet!
JOHN GOTTI
You put that girl through
enough, why did you pull that stunt.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I knew I had to face the
unknown, but now I know it was you, so everything is cool with her, I was just
protecting her from the unknown factor.
They sent for Janet, and then they gave Paul Castellano a complete
status report, and important plans were made.
All this stuff I told you about in this story was found out by Frank
Paul Jones at these meetings. Had I
never made it to these meetings, I would have been left in limbo, and never
knew who I was. This was when I found
out everything about me. It was called
the Integration because the two minds became aware of each other. This was when I found out about my children
and this was when Janet found out her child was mine's and that Frank Paul
Jones was in fact Paul Castellano, which upset her, because she didn't know
what was going on either. What was to
come about, a lot of it was planned in this little Pub. Paul Castellano arranged to be married to
both Janet and Latoya, and when he sent them off he told them they could do
anything but, give birth to another man's child. They both became his wives again. This Integration begun on July 5th 1989,
Frank Clark Jones died in October of 1989 as it seemed, and Paul woke up
because all the good news put him into shock in April 1990 in Avon Park,
Florida, because he had to be put back to sleep for a slower transition. Janet's Rhythm Nation 1814 album woke him up while watching
the "Alright" video.
JOHN GOTTI
Now remember Paul we have
to do this my way, I know how these people think. You have to believe I am your Father for this
to work. And when you go to the White
House, remember to tell the President I said, "I have to go to prison for
10 years, so that kids know that crime doesn't pay." This will set everything into motion and
there will be no turning back.
END of Act 2
ACT 3
EXT. ON THE WHITE
HOUSE GROUNDS. -- DAY
John got busted and was
about to be sentenced, I was living in New York City, and was working for
Metropolitan Transportation
Authority. I got 2 weeks vacation and
decided to go and see the President of The United States George H. W. Bush.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I need to see the
President.
SECRET SERVICE
You have an appointment?
FRANK PAUL JONES
No!
SECRET SERVICE
You can't just come to see
the President. What's your name?
FRANK PAUL JONES
Frank Paul Jones, they also
call me Paul Castellano.
SECRET SERVICE
Don't move, wait there for
a moment.
They found out I was the
person who fax the media and threatened the President and I was arrested.
They took me to a room to
question me, and the conversation went on, and I gave them Intelligence.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I need to see the
President.
SECRET SERVICE
He is listening to
everything you say, just talk to the microphone.
FRANK PAUL JONES
PAUL CASTELLANO
Then he will understand
what I have to say. My Father told me to
tell the President that "Kids must know that crime doesn't pay, and that
he must do 10 years in Prison."
John did around 10 years in
Prison on a life sentence, and then he was pronounced dead.
A few hours passed and the
Secret Service made a decision.
SECRET SERVICE
All right we are not going
to send you to prison, but, the media is out there because of your faxes, so we
are going to send you to Saint Elizabeth Hospital to a Psychiatric Ward, and
when everything blows over you can leave.
But you will lose you job.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I understand it won't look
right threatening the President and working for the Government. But you do know I am one of the President's
men?
SECRET SERVICE
If you wasn't we would have
thrown the key away. But, you have to
promise to never come back here.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I just used my pass,
because this was that important.
INT. ST. ELIZABETH
HOSPITAL -- DAY - MAY 1991
DOCTOR
Here is the report you
requested from the Secret Service. They
said, you will have to stay here for at least 2 weeks, but no Judge will order
you to stay pass the 2 week maximum.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Thank you!
I got a full report on the
Crips and Bloods and their operations. I
knew once I got out of the hospital, I would have to go to Prison to meet with
the Crips.
DOCTOR
We are going to diagnose
you as Bipolar Disorder. If you stay
until we release you, we can get you your job back.
PAUL CASTELLANO
No! I have some important business in California.
DOCTOR
Oh, by the way I was told
to tell you that Janet Jackson is in town, and she visited the President.
Then I knew everything was
set into motion, and she knew I was coming to California.
I studied the report, and
knew who I was going to be dealing with even in the mind set of Frank Paul
Jones, which was who was going to introduce himself in California.
INT. AT MY APARTMENT.
-- NIGHT
I lost my job, and everyone
thought I was crazy for telling everyone I was married to the Famous Janet
Jackson and my father was the famous Godfather John Gotti. I felt I had nothing to lose, so I decided it
was time to go to California to face Janet and find out what was going on in my
mind to think she was my wife.
I went to the bank and got
about $500 more and I had about $500 already, and I stayed up all night and the
next morning I went to the Airport, to catch a flight to California.
I called my sister Egeria
and told her I was headed to California, and not to worry about me, because it
would seem like I disappeared, if nobody knew what I was doing so I thought,
but in California I had my 15 minutes of fame, I stayed in the News.
EXT. AT THE JACKSON'S
PARENTS RESIDENCE -- DAY
FRANK PAUL JONES
My name is Paul Castellano
and I need to see either Janet or her mother.
SECURITY
Mrs. Jackson isn't home and
Janet isn't here.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I will wait.
About an hour passed by and
Jermaine Jackson came towards the front gate.
JERMAINE
Let me see your
identification card, you are not Paul Castellano.
I showed them my
identification and it said, Frank Paul Jones.
JERMAINE (CONT'D)
This doesn't say Paul
Castellano.
FRANK PAUL JONES
It's my AKA! Paul Castellano is my AKA.
SECURITY
You have to leave, Mrs.
Jackson isn't home and Janet isn't here.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
Later the Police report
said, Mrs. Jackson was shopping and they told her not to return until I left,
and Janet was filming a movie in Oakland California. The L.A. Police came and arrested me for
trespassing, which was a false charge because I was on Public Property that was
how the house was designed. I went to
county Jail and a month later when the L.A. Prosecutor realized they couldn't
make any of the charges stick, they turned over some letters I wrote Janet that
they said were threatening in content, and I was transferred to a federal
Holding Facility. I could have been
pulled out of the Prison System by The Secret Service, but I refused their help
because I knew I had a job to do. I
think their offer was just to let me know they were by my side, because they
knew I had a job to do also.
INT. FEDERAL HOLDING
FACILITY M D C -L A. -- DAY
I had several meetings with
members of the Crips while I was in the Federal Holding Facility in Los Angeles
California.
CRIP
So you are the Gotti we
were waiting for?
PAUL CASTELLANO
Yes!
CRIP
We thought you was going to
be a white boy.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I am a Mulatto, my father
is a Sicilian.
CRIP
John Gotti isn't a
Sicilian; he is a straight up Italian.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I know so forget what I
just said, but keep it in the back of your mind, because I just told you
something that you need to know.
CRIP
Tell me something about the
Gotti Family.
PAUL CASTELLANO
It's not the Gotti Family,
it is the Gambino Family, John is the Godfather, but the person who organized
this family was a man named Gambino.
Remember that, it is very important you know these things in the future. They say we are 1,200 strong, and we are the
biggest family out of the Five families.
CRIP
1,200 strong, man we are
more like 100,000 strong.
Right then I knew why I was
sent to California, I found my Army, all that had to be done was they needed to
be made more organized.
PAUL CASTELLANO
There is 100,000 of you'll,
my report didn't tell me that.
CRIP
What report?
PAUL CASTELLANO
I was briefed before I came
to California by the Secret Service.
CRIP
You have those types of
Connections?
PAUL CASTELLANO
Again remember that, but
don't remember that, these are things you need to know when the time comes.
INT. AT M D C -L A.
-- NIGHT
We watched Janet's movie
"Poetic Justice." There was a love scene that was cut out, because
the leading male in the movie "Two Pac," sexually assaulted Janet in
the love scene, because he knew she wasn't getting any. The Crips knew what happened, but they didn't
force me to see it, but informed me about what happened.
CRIP
So you came here to kill
Rene Elizondo?
PAUL CASTELLANO
No! My threat against him will keep him alive, my
Father told me not to touch him.
CRIP
Come on, I know you didn't
come here not to hit anybody. Who do you
plan to kill?
PAUL CASTELLANO
If I threaten anyone, I
can't touch them.
CRIP
You plan to kill "Two
Pac."
PAUL CASTELLANO
I didn't say that!
CRIP
But you didn't deny it
either. So I ask you again, do you plan
to hit "Two Pac."
PAUL CASTELLANO
I didn't say that.
CRIP
But you didn't deny it
either. That shit he pulled was fucked
up anyway. We don't have any problem
with it, but he is with the Bloods, and if we hit him we will have to hit
someone off the East coast, to make seem like a one for one. Now that dude Rene Elizondo, you will have to
deal with him someday, but he can't know
we are down with you, or he will have us cut off.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I thought he was just a
punk ass bitch.
CRIP
He might be a punk, but
damn if the bitch isn't connected high up the cocaine ladder.
PAUL CASTELLANO
You'll have to keep an eye
on Janet then, she is in a dangerous situation.
Remember to watch her, and when the Secret Service comes to pull her out
allow it, because when the time comes
for all hell to break loose, I will have them pull her out.
CRIP
We will watch her back, and
step aside for the Secret Service.
PAUL CASTELLANO
That is how it must be done!
INT. IN AVON PARK,
FLORIDA -- DAY
Time passed by I got out of
prison and completed what the Federal Government calls supervised release which
is like being on probation for 3 years.
After I finished supervised
release in 1997 I moved back to Avon Park for a few years. When I first got there I started smoking weed
and drinking brew, because I couldn't do it on the 3 years of Supervised
release, because they was checking my urine monthly. So basically I relapsed, for about 6
months. Then I really became more
Spiritual in a 12 Step Fellowship. On
September 7th I got drunk, on September 8th I smoked a joint to get over my
hangover, and that was the last time I used street drugs or alcohol.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Hi my name is Paul and I AM
an Alcoholic!
INT. AT CHAPEL STREET
BROOKLYN IN A VETERANS PROGRAM. -- DAY
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
On September 10th Michael
Jackson held a big concert at the Garden in New York. It was a major money maker and sold out. Janet paid for her Family to attend the show,
but she was a no show, in fact she insulted the people who attended to show, by
calling them freaks and geeks. She
didn't know what was about to happen and if it wasn't for excellent
intelligence, New York City would have been reduced to ashes and dust. Not many people know the true and whole story
concerning what was to happen the next day.
On September 11th 2001 I was in Brooklyn on a block called Chapel street
and we could see The World Trade Center one and two clear as day. It was about 9:00 AM. I was in a program called SARP meaning
Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Program.
I was clean for 4 years, but I wanted to document my clean time to get
housing that was subsidized in New York City.
MR. RICHARDSON
(With
tears in his eyes)
It happened!
FRANK PAUL JONES
What happened?
MR. RICHARDSON
The World Trade was
attacked
FRANK PAUL JONES
What are you talking about?
I ran to the window, and
when I got to the window the second plane hit the World Trade, I saw the second
plane hit the World Trade. It looked
like a small passenger plane from where I saw it, and the News was on, and they
wasn't sure what was going on.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(CONT'D)
I have to go to the World
Trade and see what is going on.
MR. RICHARDSON
Everybody has to stay in
the building until further notice, they closed
down the City.
A little time passed by,
and then they told us all to go directly home.
When I got home a friend told me, the World Trade Center is gone.
FRANK PAUL JONES
The World Trade Center is
gone, what are you talking about I know it is on fire?
FRIEND
The World Trade Center
crumbled, it fell down man, and it is gone.
FRANK PAUL JONES
What happened?
FRIEND
I saw a third explosion
after the second plane hit the Center and then the building just went down
moments later.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
I knew that my enemy would
come at me hard, but a Country with Nuclear Bombs were sold duds, and what
happened was a nuclear attempt that had everything to do with economics, and
little to do with hatred type terrorism.
But, that is what was sold to the American people, that terrorist
attacked us out of hatred. However, it
was a money move, it was about debts that couldn't be paid, and it was about
money.
INT. AT MY APARTMENT
IN BROOKLYN. -- DAY
Later I was reflecting on
the things that happened in New York.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
What happened in New York
not many people really understood it.
All people could say is how could we be attacked by terrorist? They seem to believe that this was the worst
that could happen to the United States.
As John Gotti put it, we had to do it his way because he knew how these
people thought. What happened in New
York City I say again was a nuclear attempt, and the bomb didn't go off because
our Intelligence sold duds to a Nuclear capable rogue state in the Middle
East. You figure out who I am talking
about. The nuclear bomb didn't go off,
but what happened was a nuclear candle
burned for several months, and the Scientific Community learned that we can
De-radiate by using large sums of water at a site, so large sums of water was
sprayed at the World Trade Center to cool down the nuclear candle and
De-radiate the site. Even as we lost a
lot of people, we could have lost a lot more if Intelligence wasn't on top of
this. Now you have to wonder why someone
would do such a thing! It was about
economics. It was about old money
families going broke and new families having the bulk of the money. If you remember the S & L scandal which
was a covert way to pay for Star Wars Technology which is a nuclear umbrella
against ICBM's. This cost the tax payers
a lot of money. Then we had the
Technology boom with computers that put the consumers in debt at close to 7
trillion dollars, because everyone thought they had to have a computer, and
companies like Microsoft came out on top of this. Well people thought this boom would last
forever, and old money got into the boom, at the point of the Burst of the
bubble called the Technology boom turn bust.
Then Technology stock went down drastically, and old money lost in the
transaction. But this time the
Government couldn't bail them out like they did in the Savings & Loan
scandal, so they lost a lot of money, and what happened on 9/11 was the
response of old money going broke.
INT. IN THE
TELEVISION ROOM AT MY RESIDENCE. -- NIGHT
The television was on the
News.
NEWS CASTER
Several members of a
Islamic Terrorist group known as Al Quada have been identified and linked to
the terrorist attack against The World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
And the news continued.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(O.S.)
Can you believe this shit
Man? Now everything happened because of
some Islamic Group, when we all know it was much bigger that. To tell you the truth I believe it was a Drug
Cartel under the supervision of a rogue Nation.
In fact I wouldn't be surprised if even the Roman Catholic Church had
their heads in this. Think about it you
have Roman Catholic Jews in so called Israel, and you have Swiss born Swiss
Guards protecting the Vatican, who are nothing but Germans in disguise. Man this shit is bigger than just a bunch of
hungry Muslims. They may have been the
hands, but, until they find the heads, this is going to be a Fucking Ride. I mean look at it, these Latin Countries that
are supporting the Vatican beyond what their Gross Domestic Product. It's nothing but, Money Laundering!
INT. MY SISTER'S
APARTMENT. -- DAY
I came to my sister's
apartment to inform her that I called in the Secret Service. At this time I was sharing a lot of
information with her, even as I knew she was against me. My main form of communications at this time
was by fax machine. I communicated with
important players by fax.
I knocked on the door and
she answered it.
FRANK PAUL JONES
What's up Egeria?
EGERIA
I have bad news for you.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I have good news for you,
so who is first?
EGERIA
I think you need to hear
this.
FRANK PAUL JONES
What?
EGERIA
Janet said she doesn't want
you and she is a Lesbian. She is under
Secret Service Protection, and she doesn't want you to bother her anymore.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
This was when I finally put
it all together. Egeria had contact with
the Jackson Family all along. This was
why she was trying to make me out to be a homosexual in the eyes of people
looking in from the outside. She was
playing both sides against the middle.
Egeria I know she is under Secret Service Protection because I called in
the Secret Service, here is a copy of the letter I just sent out.
EGERIA
Let me see?
She sat there with a stupid
look on her face; I think she knew she was played.
FRANK PAUL JONES
I don't understand you,
it's like you do not want me to be happy, it's like you are working against
me. How long have you been communicating
with Janet.
She didn't have anything to
say.
INT. AN AIRPORT IN
NEW YORK CITY. -- DAY
The Rene Elizondo Cartel
was given a leak that was meant for them to hear. The word was out that we were in the 11th
hour and was about to make our move against him.
JANET
The hell with this, how are
you'll going to protect me and you work for Paul Castellano?
SECRET SERVICE
Janet we do not work for
the Gambino Family, you have to trust us; do not get on that plane, because if
you leave this Country we cannot protect you.
CARTEL MEMBERS
Don't trust them Janet get
on the plane with us.
JANET
I am getting on the plane,
Paul Castellano is going to kill me, and this is my only way out.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
Janet didn't know I was the
father of her child, and she thought she had a problem with me because of
this. During the Integration there was a
few arrangements that had to be made to protect Janet from getting killed by
the Elizondo Cartel, and to trap them.
#1) Janet had to really think her life was in danger, and had to escape
with them, so when she was arguing with the Secret Service it wasn't an act on
her behalf, she was serious. #2) John
Gotti wasn't going to let that plane take off with her on it. He said, I had to get all my enemies in one
place at one time, and the time and place was that plane.
JANET
(Crying)
I am getting on this plane!
JOHN GOTTI
(Over
the Phone)
You cannot allow that plane
to take off with Janet on it. Do you
understand me? You cannot allow that
plane to take off with Janet on it.
SECRET SERVICE
Janet we have orders, you
are under Secret Service Protection, if you want us off your case, all you have
to do is sign some documents, and we will let you do as you please. Now we can't stop you from getting on this
plane, but, please take our jobs into consideration.
CARTEL MEMBERS
Don't listen to them Janet,
they are trying to trick you. That guy
Paul is in the Mafia.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
This Cartel didn't know we
knew who they were, they made it look like a normal flight, but it was the
hierarchy of the Elizondo Cartel. Janet
didn't even have an idea as to what was going on. She just thought she was running off to an
Island that would be a safe haven, but they was planning on mistreating her to
use her to get at me. Many of my enemies
had plans on going to this Island once they secured her on it.
JANET
You promise if I go back to
your office and sign some documents I can leave on a flight as soon as
possible.
SECRET SERVICE
Ms. Janet Jackson, we have
no power to force you to stay in this country, and once you sign these
documents, our hands will be free.
Please come to the office with us.
JANET
All right! I will meet you'll at the Island. Tell Rene I had to sign some documents before
I leave, because I was put under Secret Service Protection.
CARTEL MEMBERS
We will see you tomorrow
Janet, don't let them change your mind, you can't trust them.
The plane took off, they
had no suspicions and Star Wars was zoomed in on the plane and a laser beam hit
the plane and it crashed in a matter of minutes.
INT. IN THE CAR WITH
THE SECRET SERVICE. -- DAY
SECRET SERVICE
Ms. Jackson we are sad to
inform you that flight 587 a flight out of hell has just crashed and they do
not believe there will be any survivors.
Now aren't you glad you got off of that plane?
JANET
My God!
FRANK PAUL JONES
(V.O.)
This was the decisive blow
against the Rene Elizondo Cartel. Now we
had to make a few minor adjustments to completely crush them. We had to prove that Rene Elizondo was a
fraud, and that he stole his identity from a dead Mexican, and he was never
legally married to Janet because she was my wife all along. This would completely cut off his money flow.
EXT. LATIN AMERICA.
-- DAY
The Drug Lords came together
to consider an end to the drug game, because of the pressure from the United
States Government, to burn at least 80% of the Cocaine fields.
DRUG LORD
The Elizondo Cartel put us
into a compromising position. He broke
our business code, and tried to overthrow the United States Government and he
failed. Now the United States Government
is seriously considering a Military invasion.
We cannot win against an all out military invasion from the United
States.
DRUG LORD 2
What do you think would be
our best way around an all out invasion?
DRUG LORD
The United States
Government wants 100% accountability of all of our Cocaine fields and they want
80% of them burned.
DRUG LORD 3
That would be devastating
to our business and out of the question.
America isn't as strong as they use to be, and we can stand up against
them.
DRUG LORD
I heard those people have
laser equipped Satellites and they call it Star Wars, they used it against the
Elizondo Cartel and knocked down Flight 587 like a flight out of hell. Now supposed they decide to use them against
people, where could we hide? They are
calling for an unconditional surrender that is their conditions. They will allow us to keep our wealth; they
just want an end to the Cocaine War in the United States. They know there will be rogue Families that
will try to continue to move Cocaine there, but I heard they are organizing a
large group of an anti drugs Coalition, whose purpose is to move against
Cocaine dealers who continue to deal.
DRUG LORD 4
What about other drugs?
DRUG LORD
I understand they plan to
move against what they call all hard drugs.
Look we can take this as an opportunity to move on to bigger and better
things, or we can get involved in a War that we cannot win. They are talking about all out military
operations in Latin America Countries that are involved in and grow
Cocaine plants. We will vote on this, and I just want to tell
you all my Family is getting out of the drug game and will be looking at
legitimate investments. That is the
beauty of this, they are willing to look the other way and allow us to make
legal investments with our money. Now we
don't have to hand so much money to the Roman Catholic Church to hide our
money, we can invest in things like Ford and IBM. Think about it gentlemen!
DRUG LORD 2
This sounds like a good
opportunity to go legitimate, and we may not get such a good opportunity
again. I think this is good for
business.
The drug Cartels agreed to
put an end to the drug war and to destroy 80% of the Cocaine plants in Latin
America, in exchange for an opportunity to invest in legitimate investments to
the blind eyes of the United States Government.
The Elizondo Cartel wasn't involved with this negotiation, because they
became too weak to matter either way.
INT. AT A FEDERAL
FACILITY. -- DAY
A secret meeting took place
concerning the Elizondo Cartel.
PAUL CASTELLANO
I called this meeting
because I want it to be known that I have no personal hatred focused at Rene
Elizondo. I just did what I had to do
because it was business, but it was also personal to me, when I realize it was
all business to him. He forced my hand
when he took this to my Family. He tried
to use a wife against me, and he tried to defile my union, but for the sake of
peace I can get over this. As we now
know the biggest and most powerful Cartel was the Elizondo Cartel, they had a
huge network of distribution in the United States, and had a huge pipeline to
pure cocaine. We know he was behind the
Crips and Bloods supply line to distribute cocaine Nationwide. And we know Rene is not really a Mexican, but
is a Dominican and he brought a curse upon those people. I say under the conditions of an
unconditional surrender, the Elizondo cartel ill-gotten gains should be split
25% to the Crips, 25% to the Dominican people and 50% should go to the people
who were most hurt by this evil drug, the victims, in the form of
Rehabilitation Programs and Vocational & Educational Programs. Rene Elizondo can go back home to his people,
if they accept him, but he cannot stay here.
Are there any objections?
RENE ELIZONDO
How can we object under an
unconditional surrender?
PAUL CASTELLANO
So you accept the
conditions of these negotiations?
RENE ELIZONDO
You call this a
negotiations?
PAUL CASTELLANO
It's negotiations Rene, you
have the right to objections on the conditions you will have to live with, but
it is unconditional that the this drug distribution network come to an
end. The unconditional aspect is no more
cocaine from you.
RENE ELIZONDO
I don't think it is fair
that the Crips get such a generous settlement and the Bloods get nothing.
PAUL CASTELLANO
Who did the Bloods work
for? They worked for you, and if you
knew the Crips was under my umbrella you would have cut them off. The only reason you used the Crips was pure
greed. If you think the Bloods are not
being treated fairly they're two solutions.
#1) They agree to an unconditional surrender to the Crips and the Crip
share there wealth with them, #2) You share some of your wealth with them. But, they are not my responsibility. I think a 25 PC will make your little Island
a very wealthy one, and I think the offer is more than generous. It's my position that the Bloods be
dismantled, sure there will be want to be Bloods out there, but, they will not
have a direct line to Cocaine. The other
Cartels agreed to destroy 80% of the fields, which will bring the price up
drastically for Cocaine. I am realistic,
I realize there will be some residue Cocaine that will leak into the streets, I
just want this shit under control and the Bloods will not be a part of this. I call on what will be known as the
Federalized Crips, who will be under the umbrella of The Freemasonry Lodge, and
there job will be to attack people in the Cocaine trade in the United
states. So if I get my way the Cocaine
Trade will be a very dangerous business to be involved in.
RENE ELIZONDO
If you are so concerned why
don't you destroy all the cocaine fields?
PAUL CASTELLANO
Basically for two reasons,
people have to have a choice, and Law Enforcement is more than Law enforcement,
it is a business that feeds people in the Law business to include Lawyers. I don't think I can burn 100% of the Cocaine
Fields and it ends like that. But, if I
can get the Cartels to burn 80% and invest into legitimate investments, I just
might get them to control this out of control situation and can do it without
completely putting Lawyers out of business.
RENE ELIZONDO
I know you may not believe
this Paul, but, I AM truly sorry for what I put your family through, and I know
it is personal to you, as to what I did, but believe me it was all business to
me and you have my word, you will never have a problem with me and your family
again.
PAUL CASTELLANO
You have my word that The
Gambino Family will not break the peace we agreed to in these last few
months. But if my Wives and my family
are victimized again, I will not forgive you'll the next time you plot against
me. Like something out of Hollywood, I will
destroy all my enemies and turn them to dust.
But as things stand, my enemies have been put under my feet and I have
one more enemy I have to deal with, and he is not in this room and has nothing
to do with anyone in here, his name is death.
INT. AT MY APARTMENT.
-- NIGHT
The phone starting ringing
at a funny hour, I was half awoke. The
answer machine kick in, and I could hear Janet and Latoya saying it's us Janet
and Latoya pick up the phone. I just
jumped up and picked up the phone that was beside my bed.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Hello! Hello!
This isn't a game is it, is this really you'll.
JANET
Yes, and we are on the
speaker phone, so we can all talk at the same time.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(Just
waking up)
What time is it? Damn it's almost Two in the morning! I am so happy to hear from you'll but why did
you'll wait until so late?
They started laughing.
FRANK PAUL JONES
(CONT'D)
What's so funny?
LATOYA
We just wanted to surprise
you.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Trust me if you would have
called at 9 PM, I would have been surprised.
JANET
But we wanted to make sure
you was home this time. I AM proud of
you Paul, to be honest I had my doubts for a long time, I didn't understand
what you was trying to do. But, we are
so proud of you now, you helped a lot of people.
LATOYA
Do you know where we are
calling you from?
FRANK PAUL JONES
I don't have caller
ID! Just tell me?
LATOYA
That is the surprise, our
house is finished being built, and it is time for you to come home. It's in Florida just like you wanted.
FRANK PAUL JONES
You mean this is an
invitation to come home. You mean my day
finally came. I don't know what to say,
I am out of words.
JANET
Just say you are going to
come home.
FRANK PAUL JONES
This isn't a trick is it,
the last time I came home to you'll I landed in prison for 2 years.
JANET
We couldn't pull a stunt
like that on you again even if we wanted to; important people know who you are
now.
FRANK PAUL JONES
They knew then, but I had a
job to do, and what I am asking is, is the job done.
LATOYA
No Paul your job isn't
done, it just begun, don't you still have an enemy called death. That is what I heard you told those people?
FRANK PAUL JONES
Yes the last enemy is
death.
JANET
Well they built this huge
research laboratory for you to work out of, with a full staff to work under
Paul Castellano. And, they said, me and
Latoya will have a KEY.
FRANK PAUL JONES
You know a KEY isn't
a toy, don't play with it, just for your sexual pleasures.
Janet and Latoya started
laughing.
LATOYA
Are you telling us without
a KEY, you wouldn't be able to handle two women?
FRANK PAUL JONES
To tell you the truth, I
don't know what I can do anymore, these last few years, believe it or not, but
I have been faithful to you'll, while Janet was running around with every man
in Hollywood.
JANET
Don't believe everything
you hear in the tabloids.
The conversation went on
for about 2 hours, and we all got sleepy and said good night. I went home after I got all my business in
order in New York, and people heard about me in the News. The secret love of Janet and Latoya Jackson.
INT. AT MY HOUSE IN
FLORIDA. -- DAY
JANET
Paul you got some mail from
the President of the United States, hurry up and open it.
FRANK PAUL JONES
Give it here! Let me read it so that you'll can hear
it. Dear Frank Paul Jones AKA Paul
Castellano, I AM writing you to inform you that the Unites States Government
has sanctioned you with the authority of that of a Doctorate Degree in
Scientific Research....
And the letter continued,
and what the Government has done was give me a Doctorate Degree and a Research
facility to use it, and gave certain people KEYS to KEY IN to
Paul Castellano.
INT. A LABORATORY IN
FLORIDA. -- DAY
PAUL CASTELLANO
(V.O.)
After being driven to a
Military Installation I was brought to a secret Laboratory. When I walked into the Laboratory it must
have been about 100 Scientist there, and they all applaud me, and said,
congratulations. After which in the days
and years to come serious research begun in the many areas of science, from
Medical to Electronic Technology, you name it and it goes on at this
Laboratory.
