NYPD BLUE Pilot Revised Network Draft 9/18/18 46.
EXT. ROOF - CONTINUOUS Theo takes one step out onto the roof when BAM -- he’s blindsided by NIX -- tackling Theo to the ground. Theo’s gun skitters across the rooftop. Both men lunge for it... Nix can feel Theo right behind him so he stops and throws a haymaker. Theo slips it and drives a right cross into Nix’s jaw, then front kicks him onto his ass. Theo grabs his gun and stands over Nix, who slowly gets to his knees and puts his hands in the air. Theo stares at him. Adrenalin pumping. Police sirens are heard approaching O.S. THEO
That cop you killed at the Mermaid Spa? I’m his son. I want you know that I’m the one who busted your sorry ass. NIX Oh yeah?
Nix can’t help himself.
NIX (CONT’D) Help me . Please help me. (beat) That’s what your dad kept saying. Until he bled out.
Theo’s jaw tightens. His finger clenches on the trigger. Nix looks at him, almost daring him to pull the trigger. Gamble comes running up from the staircase, gun drawn, and assesses the situation. He cuffs Nix and looks at Theo. GAMBLE We got him, Theo. Gamble slowly walks over and puts his hand on Theo’s wrist, encouraging him to lower his weapon. GAMBLE (CONT’D) THEO. EXT. BUILDING - LATER Crime scene. Gamble and Pettibone lead a cuffed Nix to the back of a police sedan.
