Summary
18 year-old Ryan Geraldo (Jacob Latimore) had everything going for him. Despite his upbringing growing up on the streets of Detroit, he moved to Wisconsin to a new home, new friends (Josh Hutcherson, Kyle Massey), new girlfriend (Zendaya) and the world on his shoulders. However, all of that is seemingly stripped away from him when both of his parents (Tika Sumpter, Wesley Snipes) are killed in the middle of the night. And if that wasn't bad enough, the authorites place the blame on him. While his friends and girlfriend are the only ones who believe him, he struggles to deal with the realization of WHO would want to see his parents, or himself, dead. With help on his side, Ryan now has to go out of his way to clear his name and find out who the real perpetrator is in order to reclaim what was stolen from him: peace.

Plot
A lineup of all the individual prison cells are shown and a guard makes his way to Cell 007. As soon as he reaches the cell, he knocks on it alerting the prisoner inside it.

Guard: Geraldo.

Soon enough, 18 year old prisoner Ryan Geraldo (Jacob Latimore) looked up at the guard with a blank stare.

Guard: You have a visitor.

Ryan raised a eyebrow as he wasn't expecting anyone. But soon, the guard moved out of the way and Ryan's girlfriend, Britney Jensen (Zendaya) comes in.

Britney: Mind if I go inside?

Guard: Oh, that's restricted here.

Britney: It won't be long. I promise.

Guard: Ma'am......

Britney: Please.......

The guard eventually agreed and opened the door for her.

Guard: Three minutes.

Britney just nodded, and the guard began waking off. But then she pickpockets him and steals his key to the door. She eventually walks in and locks the cell from the inside.

Ryan: Brit?

Britney: Yeah, it wasn't you. I know......

Ryan: But how?

Britney: I just do. Why would you do something like that anyways?

Ryan: I bet that's exactly what they're thinking right now. They're probably gonna confine me like some god-damn cannibal or even put me in the electric chair. Like....what's wrong with the 5-0 these days?

Britney: I can't answer that. But look....let's just forget about that for now.......*backs him up to the wall*.....and let's focus on us.

She puts her hand on the wall beside him. Little did he know that in her hand was a small bomb set for 3 minutes to go off.

Ryan pauses in his thoughts and sinks into his memory of the night when it all went wrong. He shakes out of it and looks at Britney again.

Britney: Ry...I just miss how things used to be.

Ryan: You know I do too...but....

She shushed him by pressing her finger on his mouth and just when she's about to kiss him

Guard: Ok, lady. Time's up.

She looks up at him and sighs.

Britney: You'll be alright, ok?

She kissed him on the cheek and walks out of the cell as the guard escorted her out.

But as soon as she got out, she looked at her phone watch (they have those these days) to make a call.

Britney: Please tell me you're ready.

Voice: We've been ready for this.

Voice 2: ''Yep. So far, it'll go off in about....''

As Ryan sits down and continues to look at everything around him, including the inmate across from him, he hears some ticking sound and looks around to see what it was. Then he slowly turned towards the wall and saw the small bomb. He immediately tried pulling the bomb off the wall with no luck.

Ryan: Damn it. Sticky bombs.

Since he couldn't get it off, he went banging on the cell door.

Ryan: Hey! Guards! We have a bit of a issue waiting to go off! HEY!

As Ryan turns around again, the bomb reached to 2 seconds......then 1......and then......BOOM!

The explosion knocked Ryan out almost immediately and also crushed most of the cell door and the walls around him.

Then there's an intro.....

Ryan: ''What worse feeling could you possibly have then to be reach the pinnacle of your profession only to have it all stripped from you? You could say that Injustice after injustice has forced me to go to a place that I wasn't proud of. But only if you knew......ONLY if you knew what it felt like......My name is Ryan Geraldo. I was incarcerated for murdering my parents. And I was innocent.''

~Title Sequence~

~2 weeks earlier~

It starts out where Ryan and his buds arrive at some party, in celebration for graduating from senior year.

Mac (Zach Efron): Hey, ladies. The men have arrived.

Ryan: Yes, they have.

Todd (Andrew Garfield): We. Are. Ready. To. Paar-taay!

Soon as they came in, jazz music blasted the room as Ryan and his friends were having drinks, leaning on the wall.

Mac: Just think of what the college parties will be like......

Ryan: Bigger than this, I'm sure.

Todd: Check it, guys. My dad arranged four tickets to the football season next month to the national championship!

Ryan: I'll drink to that!

They made a toast to their drinks as Ryan looked over and saw Britney come in with her friends

Ryan: Hey, you're late.

Britney: Dad trouble.

She kissed him.

Ryan: What's up with your parents? They do realize you're not a baby anymore, right?

Britney: I know, but they really wanna keep it that way. It's embarrassing.

Mac: Tell me about it.

Ryan: Mac, you---*chuckles*--Stay out of this, man.

Mac turned back around as he took quick chug out of his cup. Ryan then turned back to Britney.

Ryan: Seriously, it's embarrassing enough when they try so hard. But it's the fact that they even try at all that proves how much they care about you.

Before Britney could respond, one of her friends jumped in.

Jess (Bella Thorne): Hello? Are you gonna keep staring at each other or are we gonna get this graduation celebration started?

Todd: I wouldn't rush him, if I were you.

Murrey (Alyson Stoner): Who asked you?

Todd: I'm just saying. We all just graduated today. Now's not really a good time for conflict.

All of a sudden, one of Zendaya's songs, "Somethin' New" came over the speakers and Britney immediately faced him. She really liked this song.

Britney: Come here.

Ryan: What---I-no.

Britney: You know how much I like this song, babe. What's the issue?

Ryan: Well, YOU know that I'm not a good dancer.

Britney: What's stopping you then, huh? Come here.....

Ryan hesitated a little, but he eventually gave in and danced with her.

Ryan smiled briefly and leaned on Britney's head. Cut to an hour or so later, and they were up on the balcony.

Britney: I guess after the summer, parent issues won't be a problem.

Ryan: Tell me about it. Remember how insane my dad went when I broke my retainer?

Britney: *chuckles* Oh yeah, he grounded you till Christmas.

Ryan: Yeah. I had to miss Halloween then. But hey, when we're in college, you and me out in the streets......no more issues.

Britney: Yeah. Then again, speaking of my dad, have you even talked to your father? You know since.....?

Ryan: *Sighs* No....

Britney: That isn't like you, you know?

Ryan: Yeah......but I ain't waiting another damn minute to do something about it.

We cut to early that same morning as Sophie Geraldo (Tika Sumpter) was taking care of some last minute business assignment on her laptop. Little did she know that one of Ryan's best friends, Sonny Roberts (Josh Hutcherson) was watching from the corner of the wall.

Sonny: Hey.

Sophie jumped from the voice as she turned around to see him.

Sophie: Geez, Sonny. What did I say about scaring me?

Sonny: You know, I can't help myself sometimes.

Sophie: It's more then likely you can. And before I lose my train of thought, do you know where Ryan is?

Sonny: I was gonna ask you the same thing. I thought you already knew.

Sophie: I know where he is. But I just don't know when of even IF he's coming back. It has something do with.....

Sonny: Yeah. I know.

Then there was silence.

Up on the roof of their house, Henry Geraldo (Wesley Snipes) was just sitting up there looking at the stars, just thinking about Ryan.

Henry: *to himself* What are you gonna do now?

Henry then saw Ryan park up to the house and he called him out.

Henry: Son.

Ryan heard the voice and looked up.

Ryan: Dad.....I'll be right up.

He walked inside to see Sonny and Sophie on the couch.

Ryan: Hey, Mom.

Sophie: Hey, Ryan. You had fun tonight?

Ryan: Yeah.

Sophie: How's Britney?

Ryan: She's good. What's Dad doing?

Sophie: Oh, you know your father. Always staring into space.

Ryan rushed up to the roof and just stared at his father looking up to the sky.

Henry: This is how I met your mother. I was always lying on the ground. Staring up in the stars. She came up and thought I was injured or something.

Ryan: Yeah? By what exactly?

Henry: Idk.....

Ryan started staring off with him as he changed the subject.

Ryan: Hey, ummm......I know it's been a while since we met eye to eye since.....

Henry: I know. You don't have to remind me of that. *sighs* But there's not a day that passes by that.....

Ryan: That what?

Henry sighed and just hugged Ryan.

Henry: I'm really sorry I failed you that day Ryan. I'm so sorry.

Ryan was stunned at first then he soon hugged him back

Ryan: It's ok, Dad. It's ok.

Suddenly there was scream in commotion downstairs.

Ryan: Mom?!

Henry: *See's cars pulling up* No....not you....

Henry rushed into the bedroom and pulled out a gun from under the bed.

Henry: Ryan, you get out of here now.

Ryan: Wha...but dad....

Henry: Do as I say, son. Now!

As Ryan did what he said, Henry rushed back into the living room to see his wife held by a random man in black.

Henry: Let go of my wife!

Sophie: Henry? What is this?!

Henry: How am I supposed to know?!

Goon: Shut up!

He points the gun at Henry, but Henry shoots him in the arm, forcing him to let go of Sophie. She ran as Henry shot at the perps again.

Ryan, however, didn't leave. He just couldn't.

But he didn't know what was going on, so he hid in the closet and peeked out so he can see everything.

Henry led Sophie to the bedroom and put her inside.

Henry: Stay here and don't move. I got some unfinished business to take care of.

Sophie: At least let me help.

Henry: You don't know what's happening here. I got this, honey.

Sophie: Promise.

He then tried to exit, only to have himself kicked back into the room by the goon. He then unmasked himself.

Red (Aaron Paul): You were always a man with promises, Geraldo. That's why the Kingpin picked you as his right hand.

Henry: Well, the Kingpin can kiss my sweet ass. What'd you want anyways, Red?

Sophie: You know him??

Henry: It's a long story, honey.

Red: The Kingpin has high plans for you, Geraldo. Especially your boy.

Henry: You leave Ryan out of this. I almost lost him cause of you sons of bitches. If the Kingpin wants me, why doesn't he come out himself? He too much of a coward?

Red: He's on the line. *Hands him a cell phone*

Henry took it and put it on his ear

Unknown voice: Coward, am I? You were always one with rants, Henry.

Henry: Where are you?

Unknown voice: ''That's not important. What is important is that I have HIGH propitiation you cannot refuse.''

Henry: Forget it. I don't work for you anymore.

Unknown voice: ''As you wish. But I cannot make the same promise about your....SON.''

Henry: No, you don't!

He was about to shoot Red again, but Red was a few seconds faster. He pulled out his 9 millimeter and shot him 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 times till the gun clicked as Sophie was just screaming hysterically. And Ryan, from the closet, immediately shut the door trying to block out the horror that just overwhelmed him.

Sophie: Henry! OH MY GOD!

Red: He's taken care of.

He put the phone on speaker as another voice came over it.

Unknown voice 2: ''No witnesses. Kill them all''.

Sophie: No!

She immediately ran to the phone only to get shot in the head twice. She dies almost instantly.

He puts the gun away and Ryan gets out of the closet and jumps on his back.

Red: Get off me, you cockroach!

He struggles to get Ryan off and as he pushed him back into a nearby cabinet, Red drops the gun.

Red: *Holds up the phone* Boss, I got the boy. You want me to dispose of him?

Unknown voice: No. We need him alive

Ryan attacked Red with the gun that Red dropped and smacked him with it as he fell and Ryan held it above his head.

Ryan: WHO ARE YOU?!!!

Red: Ryan...I....I can tell you what you want to know. But not here. There's business to attend to.

Ryan heard ticking from the kitchen, so he went over and saw the bomb (Sticky bomb) wired to the walls

Ryan: Oh sh**.

It was ticking down to 5 seconds and he ran out of the house as it exploded with Red inside of it. But, little did he know someone was from their car recorded it on camera

Unknown: *Chuckles* We got the evidence. We're done here.

He slowly drove off as Ryan tries getting up. But he stumbles down as the screen goes to black.

3 days later, Sonny went knocking on the door of Britney's house. He got worried since Ryan hasn't seen him or called him since the graduation party.

He had to knock twice before Britney finally answered.

Britney: Sonny. You know you're not supposed to be here.

Sonny: I know that. But I have to ask you: Where's Ryan?

Britney just moved over as we see Ryan knocked out on the couch, still wearing the clothes he wore three days ago.

Sonny just sighed and nodded his head. A cut later, he's inside looking at him.

Sonny: So, he said he doesn't know?

Britney: No. He said he doesn't know WHY it happened.

Sonny: That's always the million dollar question, isn't it?

Britney: Yeah, tell me about it.

Ryan then started to get up as Sonny and Britney we're still talking.

He then snuck off the couch and into the bathroom where he washed his face and tries to relax himself.

Ryan: (thinking to himself) Ok.....don't worry. You're alive. No need to freak out. You'll get to the bottom of this soon. Just let....

He then hears a knock on the door.

Sonny: You alright in there?

Ryan: Uh....y-yeah. I'm fine.

Sonny: Well, umm......some men in suits out here want to speak with you.

Ryan knew what he meant by that. It was detectives.

Ryan: Oh boy......I'll be right out.

Sonny went to the door and informed the detectives that Ryan was here.

Ryan was hesitant, but he walked to the door and saw the detectives.

Detective Wilson (Jude Law): Are you Ryan Geraldo?

Ryan: Ye--yeah. Whose asking?

We're investigating your parents murders, Ryan.

Ryan quickly turned towards the wall an looked away. He didn't want to be mentioned of that.

Detective Wilson: Ryan?

He finally turned back around and said.....

Ryan: I know what happened.

Detective Boris (Christian Keyes): As in, you know who killed them.

Ryan: I wouldn't say that. But I know enough.

Detective Wilson: In that case, you wouldn't mind coming down to the station, right?

Britney: No! He didn't do anything!

Ryan: They didn't say I did. Besides, I was there when it happened. I know what I saw. I'll be back.

Britney: You better come back.

So Ryan went with the detectives in the cruiser as they drove to the Wisconsin police station.

Hours later, Britney and Sonny get a call from the police station letting them know to come over there.

So they went over and were later confronted by Detective Morbus and he let them know about Ryan.

Sonny: How is he?

Detective Morbus: No worries. He'll be out of your hair soon enough.

Sonny and Britney turn and look at each other and anticipate the worst.

Britney: Wha---No.....

Detective Morbus: I'm sorry. But your boyfriend is a murderer.

Britney lunged forward and tried to grab him, but Sonny pulled her away.

Britney: NO! NO!

Sonny: Hold up, where's the proof?

Detective Boris: We checked fingerprints on the gun and his blood type. The computer doesn't lie. It's him.

Sonny: Stop lying. He wouldn't do something like that.

Detective Boris: We even offered him a polygraph test. He failed miserably.

Sonny: So, you just go with it?! What's wrong with you?

They then hear a door opening as they see Detective Wilson escorting Ryan outside in handcuffs. He takes a quick glimpse over at them and looks ahead again.

Britney and Sonny look at each other again as the screen goes to black and then.....

~Present Day~

Then it cuts to a college where Mac was walking over to his dorm room, completely unaware that Ryan was in disguise, watching him. As soon as Ryan saw him, he grabbed Mac from behind and dragged him into another room

Ryan: Relax, pal. It's me.

Mac: Ryan?? Dude, what happened? I thought you were in jail.

Ryan: I was....but the real people who did it need to pay for it. I dunno who came at me again, but it's not gonna happen anymore. Look, Mac......I need your help.

Mac: I-I don't know....

Ryan: Mac, I swear to God....it wasn't me. They set me up and they probably tried to get me again earlier. C'mon, man....for old times sake.

Mac then looks around and peeks outside to see nothing. He then peeks his head back in as he turns to Ryan.

Mac: Alright, bud. For old times sake. But, we better get you out of here before someone see's you. Then both our ass's are on the line.

They exited the room and made a run to his dorm.

They tried to get to his dorm, only to realize that multiple detectives were banging on doors again, trying to find out where Ryan was.

Ryan: Damn it.

Mac: Back. Back the other way. Go, go, go.

So they went the other way and leaned on the nearest wall. But all of a sudden, they were both dragged into that dorm room. And then the door shut.

Mac: Woah!

Austin (Kyle Massey): Cool off, Men In Black. You didn't do anything wrong.

Ryan was a bit surprised about who he saw.

Ryan: Austin?

Mac: Wait. You know him?

Ryan: Old buddy from middle school. Had this fascination with scanning along with a few other things.

Austin: And not only that, I just so happened to "scan" what occurred with you a while ago. All I can is what they did to you is horsesh*.

Ryan: Yeah, horsesh*. All I'm trying to do is find out who did this.

Mac: But you don't have any evidence.

Ryan: Actually......I think I do......Here, I'll draw it out for ya.

30 minutes later, Austin was scanning the picture Ryan drew in conjunction to the photograph and presto......they got a match.

Austin: And they say this work is complicated.

Mac: Ok......so what do we got?

Austin: Give me a sec. Apparently, that tattoo you showed me in the picture was more then just a tattoo.

Ryan: You mean......it could be gang-related.

Austin: Actually, it is. Look at this.

The computer then went into map mode as it showed the entire state of Wisconsin and placed the image of the tattoo in one area on the map where it is most likely to be found.

Ryan dragged his finger along the screen to get a clearer picture of where it was. Eventually, he figured it out.

Ryan: Downtown.....of course.

Austin: Wait a minute, Ryan....didn't your dad had a tattoo like that back when you were in the third grade?

Ryan: Yeah....he did...although he never told me he was part of some freaking mob.

Mac: Wait! Wait. Hold on just a minute......are you saying this is linked to your Pops somehow? How could he be a mobster if no one knew?

Ryan: When I was 8 years old, I asked the same question. One time, back when I lived in Detroit, I saw him mugging someone when I was on my way home from school. I didn't what to do or how to react, so I ran. But I ended up getting hit bit by the side of a car and it broke my arm. My dad felt guilty and I guess that's what made him quit mugging.

Austin: Why didn't you tell us about that? You said your got that from falling down the stairs back then.

Ryan: My dad couldn't forgive himself, so I kept his secrets. Even from Mom. I know I should've told you guys, but....my dad wasn't a bad man. He was probably desperate. I mean, He....

Mac: Hey, dude......we understand. But I think your dad's track record might have something to do with your house exploding. What if the mobsters he worked for didn't take him quitting likely? Think about it......

Ryan: If so, why are they after me now? And why get the FBI involved?

Austin: We have no idea. But let's not focus on that now.

Later that night, Ryan brought Mac, Sonny and Austin along with him downtown to locate that area where they saw the tattoo. They looked everywhere, but they couldn't find it yet.

Ryan: You sure this is where it was?

Austin: Positive. My scanning device is satellite generated. It never lies.

Sonny: What's this about again?

Ryan: Long story short: we think that my parents were murdered in relation to this tattoo I drew. *Shows it to him* My father used to be a smuggler and he had that exact same tattoo on his back. But he left and I'm guessing whoever has this took him out as payback.

Sonny: And you kept this from me because?

Ryan: It's complicated.

Sonny: Uncomplicate it, then. You said you wouldn't lie to me.

Ryan: I didn't. There's a difference between lying and.....

Austin: Heads up, y'all. I found it.

They saw the tattoo graffitied onto the wall in an alleyway, so they knew they were headed in the right direction.

They got out of Austins car and cautiously, walks into the alleyway.

As soon as they stepped into it, they were surrounded by other smugglers with semi-automatic guns and knives. Ryan and the others went back to the back as they continued to anticipate what would happen next. But then they heard a voice.

Voice: Hold it, boys.

They stopped and all looked at another figure appear out of the shadows for he was their leader. He took off his shades and looked right at Ryan and the others.

Kingpin (Hayden Christensen): Now what do we have here?

Ryan: Hey....I know that guy.....some how....

The mobsters pulled them closer to the Kingpin as he slowly approached Ryan and stared at him.

Kingpin: Ryan Geraldo. Hehehe.....I haven't seen you since you were a boy, looking more like your father.

Ryan: Who the hell are you?! You seem familiar.

Kingpin: Oh, we've met before. But you were just a few years old back then. My name's Vincent Morris Geraldson, a dear old friend of your father. That is until....he turned away from his calling card cause he took pity on his injured and pathetic excuse of a son. However, he should've known of the lines he'd cross.

Ryan: You're the one who murdered my parents?!

Kingpin: I'm afraid that's---

Ryan: Answer the question!

Kingpin turned around and smirked. He then looks back at Ryan.

Kingpin: Lets just say I needed someone to take the fall. And what better way to do that then use their own flesh and blood. Not to mention his track records as well. Shoplifting, drug dealers, illegal teen drinking, you name it. Like father, like son.

Ryan: You son of a......

Sonny grabbed a gun from the pocket of a mobster and shoots the guy holding Ryan, setting him free

Sonny: RUN!!!!

They all fight to brake free and they ran. But one of the mobsters threw a knife at Mac and it hits him in the back. He takes three steps forward, falls forward and drops dead.

Ryan: *Stops and looks back* MAC!!!!!

He breaks free and runs to his aid, but Kingpin shoots him in the leg and he fell while looking at Macs body. But he got up quickly and hopped out of the alleyway with Austin and Sonny. They then ran into another alleyway and laid down near the wall as they tried to catch their breath.

All: *breathing heavily*

Sonny: Did you know what you were getting us into?

Ryan: Technically, yes. But how was I supposed to know he had more then just a few goons?

Austin: Every gang has at least over three to seven members, so it shouldn't be a surprise.

Ryan: It's justAHHH!!!

Ryan gets up and kicks a dumpster, clearly furious.

Ryan: Can the day get any worse?

Willow (Sigourney Weaver): It always depends on which direction you choose to take it.

They (Ryan, Austin, Sonny) heard a voice from behind and saw a woman leaning against a wall in the alleyway they were in.

Ryan: Who are you? And how do you expect me to listen to what you have to say?

Willow: Cause we both have something in common: just like any natural born civilian, you, just like myself, are willing to right the wrongs that are sentenced to us.

Ryan was confused completely, but the way she was speaking made it seem like she wasn't dangerous.

Austin: Woah woah woah. Ryan, do you really want to trust this....this hobo? What makes you believe she has anything useful to say?

Willow looks back at them.

Willow: I don't

Ryan: Then why are you doing this?

Willow pulled him closer to his ear and whispered......

Willow: They always say when life gives you lemons, just f**k those lemons. Cause they're not sweet and the cost of a loss is too heart-aching for one person to have to experience. And that isn't sweet, either. You know what it feels like to have everything seemingly ripped away from you; just for ONE predicament. But not anymore. You must head into the place you've long dreaded to head towards and dig yourself a hole so deep that not even you will be able to recognize what feat you've accomplished. It's only just a matter of time when the calm before the storm approaches. You'll find your answer there. It's your time to rewrite history.

She then taps his shoulder and starts walking away while facing him.

Willow: Be strong, kid. I'll be watching.

Willow then disappeared into the shadows of the alleyway as Ryan, Sonny and Austin just look at each other confused and such.

Meanwhile; Britney snuck out of bed, late at night. She wanted to check on what something her mother left on the kitchen table. As soon as she made her way there, she dumped her mothers pocketbook on the table, scoured through whatever she dumped on there and eventually found some file papers.

Britney: What in---No, you did not.

She took the papers and looked through them all and became in shock.

Britney: *to herself* There's no way.

Janet (Detective Jensen): Ah-ha-ha! Got ya!

She became startled when she found out her mom was hiding in the room.

Britney: Mom??

Janet: Always uptight about the papers, honey.

Britney: Well; yeah, because of....what I just saw here. *shows the papers*

Janet: Hey! *takes the files back* That's classified information, baby.

Britney: It's not classified if it has anything to do with Ryan.

Janet: Britney....I....I know what you're thinking. But it's not true.....Honestly, I really don't think Ryan has anything to do with murdering his parents.

Britney: Then why do you even have this?

Before she could finish, the door bell rang and both of them heard it.

Janet: I'll....We'll finish this later.

Soon enough, Janet answered the sore to find.....

Detective Boris: Jensen.

Janet: Yes?

Detective Boris: Detective Jensen, I was hoping I could speak to your daughter. For what we know, she knows about an escaped convict that we've been pursing for a while now. I need to ask her a few questions.

Janet: Escaped suspect? You mean Ryan Geraldo?

Detective Boris: Yes.

Janet did know about the Ryan Geraldo case, considering the fact that she was a detective as well and although she had her doubts about it, she didn't want to give her up flesh and blood.

A couple hours later, Britney was alone at the house and passed out on the couch. Just then, Sonny and Ryan rushed in and slammed the door, waking Britney up, causing her to turn her head over to them.

Britney: Guys?!

Both of them (Sonny, Ryan) panted, covered in sweat

Britney: Ry, what's going on?

Sonny: I wouldn't do that. He kept this from me a for a while now. This "guy" seemed to know everything that happened the night that Ry---

Ryan: It wasn't me, dammit! They're were people at our house...they--they shot them and--an---and blew them up! I saw everything!

Britney: Ry, shhh.....

She got up from the couch and held on to him to calm him down

Sonny: Ryan, you sure their were people at your house? Cause the news showed a footage of you running out just before it blew up and they were no traces of other people there.

Ryan: IT WASN'T ME!!!!!

Thats when the phone rang.

Britney: *to Ryan* You sit down, I'll get it.

Ryan did what she asked as he was really getting aggravated and just about ready to pull his hair out.

Sonny: Are you---

Ryan: Don't.

Sonny: Don't what?

Ryan: I know what you're gonna ask: "Why does this mean so much" or How come this is so important to you"? Well, long story short: this is partially my fault. I got injured, and my dad quit because of it. I'm positive that isn't the only reason why they killed them, but they still did it. Even when I was in Detroit, Mom and Dad were my rocks in a world that wasn't there for me and never will be. When it started to drown me, they got me out every time. EVERY. DAMN. TIME. So......it kills me to know that I'm suffering for their mistakes and their wrongdoings when nobody deserved to suffer here.

Sonny looked down and didn't say anything. Although, he could relate to that.

Sonny: That's all that matters in the end. Making a last stand, huh? *looks up at him again* So are we gonna do this or what?

Ryan: Huh?

Sonny: You heard me. I can Austin down here in no time flat. He's still got his gizmo's up and running.

Ryan: So did Mac.

Sonny: Oh......I'm sorry about him, man.

Ryan: No worries.....Anyways, we're gonna need to find some info on the Kingpin. I remember this phone conversation that my Dad had with him.

Sonny: Again, this Kingpin isn't like the bad guy from Spider-man and Daredevil?

Ryan: No. A REAL mobster. From the way it sounded like? my dad worked for him. He's the one who ordered my parents murder and set me up to cover his tracks. That son of a b**ch is my only lead to clear my name.

Sonny: And how are you gonna do that? Are you gonna kill him?? They'll lock you up again for that, and we'll have to bust you out again.

Ryan: I can't tell you that for su--Wait. You and Austin.....got my out of jail that time?

Sonny: Let's just say---

That's when Janet walked into the doorman saw Ryan and Sonny on the couch in the living room.

Janet: Uhhh, what are you boys doing here?

Sonny: It's complicated.

Britney: And a long story.

Janet turns over to see Britney standing near the entranceway of the kitchen.

Janet: Baby.....It's not what you think. I don't think Ryan had anything to do with this. Just....he's not the type of person who would suddenly do something as senseless and unforgiving like that. My gut kept telling me else-wise, but I knew what my daughter told me. And I believe her.

Britney slowly started to perk a smile as she went over and hugged her mother.

All of a sudden, there were bangs on the door.


 * Police! OPEN UP!*

Ryan: Oh my f**king.....

Sonny: Get out the back. Brit and I will hold them off.

Ryan ran till....

Britney: Ry!

He looked back and she kissed him

Britney: I love you.

Ryan: Love you too.

Then Ryan made his way to the back window in Brit's kitchen. He was about to get out, but then he saw a broken glass cabinet that had the SAME shape as the tattoo on Red.

He was curious about that symbol being in his girlfriends house and just as he was about to touch the broken glass, he heard a noise from behind him and he immediately turned around and backed up. Ryan really couldn't believe who he saw.

Ashlyn (Chloë Grace Moretz): Surprise.....surprise......

Ryan: Son of---Why you---You supposed to stay 500 feet away from me!

Ashlyn chuckled as she paced around Ryan and played around with her knife.

Ashyln: I know.....not quite what you were expecting. Am I right? Huh? I bet you were expecting some criminal mastermind or a prostitute or any of those other jackasses involved. But thing is this world is dangerous and unpredictable. You never know when something will just.....*pulls his face to hers and licks his cheek*.....rain ashes all over you. *pushes him away* But not this time. No more lies. No more false faces. The person you're looking for.....is right here. Sorry to disappoint you, Ry. But.....it was just little ol' me.....

Ryan: All this time....it was you....You're the one who set me up?

Ashlyn: Jackpot. *smirks at him* Well....yeah. I pulled most of the reins. Just think of it as MY way of sweet, sweet revenge.

Ryan: Revenge?? What the hell you talk--*sighs* Look, I'm sorry about what happened to YOUR father. We all did what we could for him. I mean, I knew you were a little out of it, but KINGPIN?! Why the hell would you tag along with that monster?!

Ashlyn: YOUR FATHER WAS THE REAL MONSTER, RYAN!! Ever since he worked with the Kingpin, my family have been nothing but mere toys. He sold my mom to piggish perverts and he murdered my father during some stupid gambling. All this wouldn't be happening if it WEREN'T FOR HIM!!!!

Ryan: And my mom and me??!! Was it our fault too??!!!

Ashlyn: It doesn't matter whether you had a part in it or not. Point is you let your family destroy mine and you never told nobody the truth. And to think WE had a future together, you threw all of that out the god-damn window! You just left me to die!

Ryan: Cause you crazy! Why do you think I got the restraining order?!

She pushed him into the broken glass cabinet, causing more of the fragments to fall and she got up all over him.

Ashlyn: You know.....A long time ago, you always used to tell me, "Focus on what I want to achieve, and it'll happen" But tell me: do you know what I want now, Ry? Huh? Do you? I. Want. You. Dead.

She pulls up her knife and attempts to stab him.

Ryan caught her arm with the knife, but Ashlyn pulls her arm away and tries to stab him again. Ryan continued to push it back until he completely pushed her out the window.

And then silence......

He ran out the room to see if Britney or Sonny were still there and guess what? They weren't.

Ryan: Son of a---

We then cut to the station where Britney sits across Boris and Wilson.

Detective Wilson: Apparently, from what we know at this point, you've been lying to us. Now, I really don't like it when people lie to me. In fact, it really pisses me off.

Britney: I haven't lied about anything.

Detective Wilson: Seriously? You're doing it again. The last time you talked to us, you said you never saw Ryan at all that night.

Britney: I didn't.

Detective Wilson: We have two witnesses, saying that they saw you pick him up in your Hissan at a quarter to nine.

Britney was now worried. She knew what the truth was, but the detectives were so relentless.

Britney: Uhh.....

Detective Wilson: Listen, Britney. We have more then enough to pin this on not just Ryan, but possible even you. So if you REALLY don't having anything to do with this, explain yourself.

Sonny: Listen, Detectives. I--I take full responsibility. She and Ryan are close but she had nothing to do with it. Britney was there, yes, but she didn't know.

Borris: Bullsh**!

Wilson: Alright alright, just calm down. Are you saying you're Ryan Geraldo's accomplice? And Britney here is his girlfriend, who had no idea? Brit, don't you watch tv?

Britney: Never any news. *Whispers to Sonny* What'd you doing??

Sonny: *Whispers* Getting you out of here.

Borris: She's lying.

Wilson: Well, all she's told us is that she never saw him and now Sonny here is saying pretty much the same thing. If they're lying, how can you tell?

Borris: *Leans close to her face* Cause it's always the quiet ones.

Britney: Get away from me.

Wilson: Look, I just talked to Jensen before I came in here and I agreed that we don't have enough evidence to keep them here overnight unless time contradicts itself.

Sonny: What?

Boris: Seriously?! Again?!

Wilson: Stay out of this. looks back at Britney and Sonny Alright, for now.....go home. We may speak again, but until then, you're free to go.

Sonny and Brit were stunned; they didn't know what to say. One cut later and they soon went outside the station.

Britney: That was easier than I thought.

Sonny: Guess we got lucky.

Kingpin: Or have you?

They turned over to see the Kingpin's men pointing their guns at them as he grinned while pulling off his glasses. Eventually, he made eye contact with Britney.

Kingpin: So, you must be Britney. Ryan's squeeze. I must say, you are beautiful.

Britney: What's it to you, you creep.

Sonny: Brit. That's the guy who murdered Ryan's parents. He even murdered Mac and set him up.

Britney: You're behind all this??!!!

Kingpin: No, dear. Old Henry had a dept to pay, yes, but the rest was a favor.

Sonny: From who? Why would YOU need a favor?

All of a sudden, both of them were knocked out from behind......by Ashlyn.

Ashlyn: That would be me.

She then looked at Kingpin with a smirk. She walked up to him and gave him a kiss.

Ashlyn: Everything's set up, right?

Kingpin: You know how I roll, Ash

Ashlyn: In that case, let's get this over with.

Kingpin ordered his men to drag Sonny and Britney into their cars as the drove off.

Meanwhile; Austin was playing a game online his laptop as Ryan barged in.

Ryan: Austin!

Austin: Woah! Ryan......

Janet (Detective Jensen): What's he doing here?

Ryan didn't know Janet was in the room with them. He looked surprised at first.

Ryan: Ms. Jensen.....hey......

Janet: I thought you were locked up.

Austin: He was, but for the wrong reasons. You've heard of a Kingpin?

Janet: Like from Spider-Man?

Ryan: No......like......*sighs*......does a Vincent Morris Geraldson ring any bells?

Janet: You mean the one whoOh no, no, no, no, no......I gotta tell Wilson.

Ryan: No!! If Wilson knows I'm here, he'll defiantly bring backup with him. The Kingpin and who he's working for have the evidence to prove my innocence. And if they lock me up again, we may never get them.

Austin: Wait wait wait. The Kingpin's working with somebody?

Janet: Apparently so. But why would---

The phone rang and Ryan answered.

Ryan: Hello?

Kingpin: ''Still on the run like your father, Ryan? How typical of you.''

Ryan: The hell you want now? Does your boss have you cleaning up her mess or does she need me to do it?

Kingpin: Always had something to say. Again, just like your father. Don't worry. I won't put you to waste just yet. But on the contrary, I have a specific proposal for you.

The line was silent for a brief moment and then Ryan heard another voice over the phone.

Britney: Ryan!!

Sonny: Get your ass down here, man!!!

Ryan: Where are you?

Kingpin: *over phone* You want them? I'm normally not fond to Gavin guests around, but for you, my boy, that's an exception. I'll send you the coordinates.

Ryan: I'm putting an end to this.

He hangs up and then smashes the phone.

Ryan: Oh my g--That f**king.....Son of a--

He starts the beating on the door.

Janet: Hey, hey, hey, hey! Relax! That ain't gonna solve the problem!

Ryan: I know.....*breathing heavily*.....but why can't they just leave us alone? He's got Britney as well.

Janet: He WHAT?! Son of a b**ch.....I'm sorry, Ryan, but I'm gonna have to tell Wilson about this.

Riley (Kimberly Elise): That won't do you any good, you know?

Janet heard her sister, Rileys voice from behind her as she turned around.

Riley: I didn't really have any issues with your job, but now this is ridiculous.

Janet: Then how would you handle it?

Riley: Peeling wigs, stepping on caps, just go gangster on them......

Austin: So basically, just going over there and tear s**t up?

Riley: I don't know what's stopping you.

It wasn't a really cautious move, but at this point, they were low on options.

Ryan: *sighs and gives Janet his phone* Call him.

Reluctantly, Janet did just that.

Janet: Wilson. Something's come up and I need your help. But, you need to know something that I think will surprise you.

She stepped out the room to continue the phone call leaving Ryan, Austin and Riley inside.

Ryan: I'm gonna rip his mother f**king throat out for what he's done. And Ashlyn.....

Austin: Ashlyn??

Ryan: Oh yeah. I forgot. Just found out that Ashlyn had the Kingpin assassinate my parents. Apparently, my father killed hers and he sold her mom to some horrible people. It's driven her over the edge and now she's lost her damn mind.

Austin: But....I never figured Ash....

Ryan: She's just confused. There must be a way to bring her back to her sanity. We'll figure out something.

Riley: Wait....you said her mom was being sold. Sold to who?

Ryan: I rather not find out. Why you concerned?

Riley: Cause I heard she's committed to some hospital somewhere.

Ryan: What??

Riley: I used to know her and it's the truth that her daughter was out of it. But I think she's still held up there.

Austin: She is. I looked her up online at the time after Ashlyn went off the radar and guess what? They found her mom in the gutter somewhere. They had her under surgery since then and she's still breathing.

Ryan knew at this moment that this was the opportunity he needed to turn it all around.

Ryan: We're gonna go for the slow, methodical approach, alright? Austin, I need you to look up that hospital and find her. And while you're at it, *turns to Riley*, you're going with him. Janet and I are gonna get them back. Just send me that address when you find it.

Austin: You got it. I can give the Kingpins location too if you want.

Ryan: You do that.

Ryan then stepped out of the room to see Janet waiting for him.

Janet: He's in. You ready?

Ryan: *nods* It's time to rewrite history.

We then cut to when Britney and Sonny are tied up inside a jet as Kingpin stands right in front of them. His men have guns pointed right to Sonny and Britney's heads

Sonny: You have some explaining to do, bud.

Kingpin: I have nothing worth revealing to you. At least not 'till Ryan is taken care of.

Britney: Please.....you should know better then to count out my man. He'll make it. He'll come.

Ashyln: Trust me, he will. I'm counting on it.

That's when they see Ash come out from the other side of the jet where Kingpin was.

Ashyln: Missed me?

Sonny: Ash? I heard what happened to you and all, but this is crazy. Ryan wouldn't make his dad's mistakes....

Ashlyn: SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!

She slapped him silly and Sonny became a little dizzy.

Ashlyn: I don't have time to deal with lowlives.

Kingpin: I wouldn't make her upset.

Britney: to Kingpin Now why would you care?

Ash then crouches down in front of Britney and pulls out her knife.

Ashlyn: Cause none of you know what it feels like to lose everything you've earned, everything you've had in life. People like you would SAY you understand, but you don't. NO ONE DOES. That's one of the main reasons why Ry is no longer of any use to me. It was clear that I was just wasting my goddamn time with him. You've got no one to rely on, but your own merit.

Sonny: Then why are with this bastard?

Ashlyn stood up, blew her hair back and took a deep breath.

Ashlyn: *Turns to the Kingpin* Because.....him. He was the only thing that showed me support and care and he promised me my vengeance. He made sure that I'll make every single one of you all pay.

Britney: Ash...Ryan is not his father. No way is he in the sense that he would follow in his footsteps. But you....

Ashlyn: I. Don't. Give. A. F**k.

Then there was silence.

Kingpin: My dear......

Ash then turned towards him with a look of annoyance and frustration in her eyes.

Ashlyn: You know what? I'm sick of bullsh**ting with you two. Tape 'em up for me, will you? I don't wanna hear them squeal.

Kingpin nodded with a smirk and snapped his fingers, letting his men know to take care of it.

Sonny: Ash, this is gonna cost you! You don't want this to come back and......*muffled*

Before Sonny could say anything else for that matter, he was already gagged and so was Britney.

Kingpin: Now.....all we need is the man of the hour.

A cut later, we cut to Wilson and Jensen leading a bunch of SWAT vans to the destination that Austin sent Ryan. Ryan was in the backseat of the cruiser.

Wilson: So kid, you know where they heading?

Ryan: *scoffs and looks at his GPS phone* For a Kingpin, he sure acts like a coward. He's at the airport.

Jensen: Trying to escape the state?

Ryan: Looks that way.

He then gives Janet the phone.

Wilson: Here, kid.

And he hands him a gun.

Ryan just stares at it, but he eventually takes it.

Wilson: A parting gift. If your dad was still here, he would've wanted you to finish this.

Ryan again, looks at the gun.

Later, they arrived at the airport and they all walked side by side. Soon enough, the confrontation begins as they stood in front of the Kingpins men. They were guarding a huge jet behind them.

Jensen: I'm only gonna ask you this once, you sorry sons of b**ches. Give me back my daughter now!

Wilson backed Jensen up behind him as the jet opened it's door and the Kingpin and Ashlyn came down arm in arm. Ryan's frown grew deeper as he continued to stare at them.

Kingpin: Ah-ha! Just in time for the grand finale. You can say I've been expecting you.

Wilson: Wish I could say the same. You've avoided us for a long time now. Tell your men to stand down.

Kingpin just scoffed as Ryan steps forward.

Ryan: Where are they?

Kingpin: In the back. But before we get down and dirty.....let's talk business.

Ryan: No. Let me and Ash talk business. I'll deal with your ass in a minute.

Ashlyn was aware of the S.W.A.T behind Wilson and Jensen, but she really didn't care as she walked down the stairs of the jet.

Ashlyn: Did your brain fall out of your head? You've already lost, Ry. Your family wasted 7 years of our time and for what?

Ryan: This needs to stop, Ash. I know what my father did to your family was wrong in every sense of the word, but he changed. I know you can do so as well.

Ashlyn: For what? Living in your shadow with everything you've worked for taken away? I'd be changing for the worst. No way, traitor.

Ryan: Listen to me, my dad caused me grief too! When I found out what he was doing, it almost cost me my life. There's not a day that passes by when I go back and think about how much I impacted him. Trust me, I know what it's like!

Ashlyn: You only knew cause I killed your parents. You NEVER understood my pain before then!

Janet: You just confessed to two counts of capital murder, young lady.

Ryan: *to Janet* Hey, I got this.

There was silence for a brief second as he turned around and saw Willow looking at him from a corner as she winked at him.

He turned back around and continued his point.

Ryan: No, Ash. You're wrong. I thought you died too when your dad did! I couldn't find you cause of my restraining order......but..... Your mother is still alive.

Ashlyn: Ughhh.....the lies! When are you gonna stop with that?!

Wilson: No. He's right. Your mother is enlisted at the hospital and is being checked out from special treatment as we speak.

Ashlyn's eyes opened up when she heard that.

Ashyln: You--you mean....she's alive???

Kingpin: Would it even matter?

Ashlyn: *Turns to him* What??

Kingpin: Your mother wouldn't be in the position she's in if it weren't for Ryan's dear ol' Pops, remember?

Ashlyn took time to think about it.

Ryan: Don't listen to him, Ash. You gotta trust me on this one.

Kingpin: You lost everything because of him, my dear.

Ryan: Ashlyn. It's not too late.

Wilson: Ashyln, stand down before you dint something nasty.

Ashlyn sunk into her thoughts it drove her crazy, but then...........She took a gun from one of Kingpins men and starting shooting. Ryan got out of the way as Wilson, Jensen and the S.W.A.T began to fire back while momentarily taking cover as well. Kingpin just casually went back inside the jet.

Jensen: We should've thought a little more bout this before, you know? Strategically, he's gonna end up outnumbering us!

Wilson: Yeah. Him and what ARMY?!

More gunshots rang across from them.

Jensen: I'm getting my daughter back, you stay here with them.

Wilson: Yeah. Leave me with the grunt work. I got this. *fires a couple shots and ducks cover again*

Jensen made her way through the ruckus and shot some more of his men. Eventually, she found Ryan perched behind a cargo bin.

Ryan: Ms. Jensen!

Jensen: Ryan, you know this is on you, right?!

Ryan: I get it, ok?

He peeks out of the corner and sees the jet still stationary on the runway. That's when Janet turns him around.

Janet: Thinking what I'm thinking?

Ryan: Uh-huh.

Janet: Alright.....on my mark.......1......2.....3! Go, go, go!

With her signal, Ryan sprinted and made a beeline towards the jet with Jensen right behind him, providing backup.

Eventually, they made it to the jet. But they didn't find anyone on board....or so they thought.

Jensen: Damn it! Played RIGHT into his hands!

Ryan: No....wait.....you hear that?

Jensen eventually perked her ears and she heard some muffling behind the back door of the jet. Unfortunately, someone jumped at her from behind and tries to smother her. Jensen gutted him and flipped him over as she pointed his gun at him and he stood up with his hands up.

Red: *chuckles* Bet I was the last person y'all wanted to see again, right?

Jensen: Spare me the bullsh**. You're under arrest.

Unfortunately, Red's luck ran out as Ryan came up from behind and low-blowed him where the sun don't shine. He squirmed in agony as Ryan and Jensen stood over him.

Ryan: That was for Dad. And this.....*kicks him in the head*.....was for Mom.

As Jensen cuffs Red, Ryan approached the door cautiously again and when he yanked it open, he found what he came for.

Sonny: *muffled*

Britney: *muffled*

Ryan: Honey, I'm home.

Britney: *Muffled in joy*

Ryan: It's alright, baby. We're here.

He rips the duct tape off her face and Britney relaxed again.

Britney: Ryan, thank god.

He kissed her and let Janet get her out the chair.

Britney: Mom? You came too?

Janet: Now, you know I wouldn't leave my only daughter behind, right?

She let her up and then they hugged.

Sonny: *Muffled and yelled*

Ryan: It's alright. *Pulls the tape off him*

Sonny: You didn't have to come, Ry.

Ryan: And let him kill you? Don't be ridiculous, man. I'm getting you guys out of here.

Jensen: Alright, right out here.....

As soon as they walked out, however, they were confronted.

Kingpin: *Points a gun at him* I wouldn't recommend that.

Jensen: *Pulls out her gun* Actually, I would. Stand down!

Ryan and Jensen stood face to face as Sonny and Brit just watched helplessly

Kingpin: Just like your father.....Sneaky. But sloppy. Although, I do admire your bravery young Geraldo. But where exactly was it when we shot your parent's brains out? Hmm?

Ryan: You just proceed too quick. Now it's personal.

Ryan takes out his gun and points it at him too

Britney: Ryan, no!!!

Sonny: Why you stopping him? Do it, Ry!

Now Ryan was conflicted. As Janet put her gun down and stepped back, Ryan started to shake with the gun in his hand.

Kingpin: What do you plan to do with that? Besides piss me off?

Sonny: What are you waiting?!

Britney: Don't force him. Put it down, Ry!

Meanwhile, outside.....The gun fire still raged on as Ashlyn was hiding, behind the jet. She was still confused about what Ry said and wasn't entirely sure what to do anymore.

Ashlyn: *thinking* Was Ry right? Is Mom really alive? Ugh....Why should I believe him? His father is the reason why I lost my family. But then again.....I wasn't entirely sure if Mom was dead. I didn't bother to---So maybe if....Ooh......

Soon enough, the gunfight ended with half of the Kingpin's men dead and the other half captured and arrested. Eventually, S.W.A.Ts surrounded the jet.

Kingpin just smirks and slowly drops his gun to the floor, but Ryan still hiss his pointed at him.

Kingpin: Don't you wanna know the truth about your father?

Ryan, with one hand on the trigger, cocked the hammer of the gun back.

Jensen: Ryan, please stand down.

Sonny: Screw him, Ry! Shoot his ass!

Britney: No!

Kingpin: When he worked with my crew, he was just as ruthless as me. Maybe even more then that. I think.....unmerciful....is the word.

Sonny: Jesus Christ, just blow his head off.

Britney: Ry, please baby!

Kingpin: But when he quit, he never begged for his life. Not once.

Jensen: Put the gun away!

Sonny: C'mon already!

Kingpin: All he wanted was a chance with you. He grew soft.

Britney: If you shoot him, I'm gonna lose you! Please!

Kingpin: He was too pathetic.

Sonny: C'mon, don't let him talk about your dad like that. Shoot him, Ryan!

Jensen: Don't let him trick you like that. Just put it down!

Kingpin: You could do better then this, Ry. Don't make the same mistakes your father did. I can make you a rich man. No more school. No more jobs. No more people telling you what to do. Just you, your money....and maybe your sweetheart Britney by your side.

Sonny: Ry, he's trying to punk you. JUST SHOOT HIM ALREADY!!!

Britney: NO! Ryan, I love you.

Jensen: Put it down!!!

Ry stood there, pointing the gun staring at the Kingpin and began to contradict the events of everything that happened. And then his parents voices came into his head. It was something they always used to say to him.


 * Is it worth it? Is killing really worth what you want or need? No. It isn't. The important thing is to follow your heart. You win some, you lose some. But you'll still live to fight another day.*

Everyone was waiting for a response, but they got one.

He moves the gun away and unclipped it in front of him, as the cartridge dropped to the floor.

Kingpin: There ya go.

Sonny: Oh Christ.....

Then Ryan threw the gun at Kingpin giving him and the rest enough time to escape the jet.

Unfortunately, as soon as they got out, they saw all of the dead bodies.

Sonny: Ughh......

The mere sight of all these bodies scattered all over the field deeply disturbed Ryan the most.

Ryan: I....I caused all this.......

All of a sudden, he was tackled by Ash.

Ashlyn: You didn't really think I'd listen to you, right?

But Jensen took her off of him.

Jensen: *to Ash* The hell is wrong with you?!

Ashlyn: You all shut up!!! I've lived my life in so much misery I will not be devised.....

Woman's voice: THAT'S ENOUGH!!!!!

That voice left her stunned. She slowly turned around and saw her mom, Joan Malcome (Cameron Diez) coming out of the shadows with Austin standing next to her. Her jaw drops.

Ashlyn: No....it can't b---Mom?!

Joan: Ash, honey....this is not the way to be justified. I never meant to leave you confused in anyway. But Ryan was right. This madness that's overcome you is only breaking our family further apart.

Ashlyn: But---it wouldn't be like that if--

Joan: Ryan had nothing to do with this. You'd be surprised how much your father had to change just to keep us breathing out here. But revenge on someone who had no part in our pain is just....No. Your father wouldn't want this from you and neither do I. It's not the way. I know we raised you better then this, Ash. You should remember you are my daughter and I love you.

Ashyln couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She now knew that Ryan was right about her mother and that there was no need in harming them anymore.

Ashlyn: *Tearing up* I....I....I love you.....

Suddenly, a pop was heard and Joan was suddenly put down and everyone gasped. As Ashlyn looked over her mothers body, she looked over and saw Kingpin with a smoking gun.

Ashlyn: You.........

Kingpin: I've always hated family reunions. Besides, you're better off without her. You always were.

Ashlyn: You.....YOU BASTARD!!!!!

Then she tackled the Kingpin and tried to choke him out, but Austin and Sonny had to pull her off.

Austin: No, no, no, no.......back off!

Ashlyn: Let go of me!

Sonny: The hell are you thinking?

Ash then pulled another gun from her back pocket and shot at Kingpin 4 times and he dropped to the ground. Austin backed up from her as Sonny took the gun away as she was firing.

~Silence~

Ash slowly turned to Ryan.

Ashlyn: Check. Him.

Ryan went over to Kingpins body and put both fingers on his wrist to check for a pulse. He didn't find one.

He looked up at her and just shook his head, confirming that he was dead.

A sigh of relief came over Sonny as Austin just paced around. Britney and Jensen recuperated and hugged each other yet again.

Ash walks over to where Ryan was and just looked over Kingpin

Ashlyn: Family always comes first.

Ryan: Damn right it does. But I never anticipated I'd pay for my parents mistakes. At least.....not by you. It's just---it's not fair in this world.

Ashlyn: It never is.....

Then out of nowhere, Wilson came up from behind, grabbed her by the arm and placed her against the jet.

Ashyln: *sighs* Oh my god.....

Wilson: Ashlyn Malcome, you're under arrest.

Ryan: Wait, Wilson! She was only a part of this because of some misunderstanding. Let her stand trial to make up for everything. Kingpin was the one pulling her strings.

Ashyln: He pul---but I.....

Austin: Ry, what'd you doing?

Jensen: I don't think we can confirm that. She's charged for three counts of murder and criminal assault.

Ryan: All because he forced her to. Let me pay her fines, so I can rehabilitate her. She was only confused. Please, I ask you of this Wilson.

Wilson: I'm sorry, but Ryan, you let yourself get caught in a whirlwind of innuendo and inconsistencies. You have shown mercy. I will show none.

Ashlyn: Why are you doing this?

Wilson: It's my job.

Janet: Well, it's OUR job. And since she framed you, Ryan, for murder and just put a bullet in this fellow.....*points at Kingpins body* we ain't letting that slide.

Ashlyn: Oh my......*sighs*......I WASN'T TALKING TO YOU STUPID COPS!!!

Jensen just backed up as Ryan continued on.

Ryan: Ash, listen. You don't deserve this, ok? Like I said, I'm sorry about what my parents did to you. But this isn't what someone like you deserves. Jail time isn't the kind of life for you.

Ashlyn: I would've thought the same thing. But now that I don't have anything or anyone to depend on, other then you guys.....hard time is the only life I have now. *Turns to Wilson* Alright.....take me away.

Ryan: Hol' up.

Ash turned around to face him. And then Ryan went up to hug her as Sonny, Britney and Austin look on. And as expected, Ashyln had to hug him back.

By the time, Ryan broke off the hug, he said.....

Ryan: I'll be seeing you, Ash.

Ash: *smirks and chuckles* See ya around, Ry.

Wilson and Janet then dragged Ash to the cruiser in the distance as Britney went face to face with Ryan and all four of them sat down.

Ryan faced down as they booked her and took her and Britney put her hand on his shoulder.

Britney: I know you wanted to help her. You did great.

Ryan: I just....I thought I could.....

Austin: I know....we'll get her out somehow. I promise.

Sonny: Man, you should feel ecstatic over this, right? I mean....you--you--you spent weeks trying to track down the murderer and you finally did it.

Ryan: Yeah. But they're still gone. Its bad enough that I won't be able to tell them up close and in person what all of this has come to. You ever get that feeling when you think you just got your heart ripped out? Well, what just happened was the equivalent of having a cut and pouring Tabasco sauce on it. Like pouring salt on a open wound. It takes forever to heal.

Austin: What does that mean?

Ryan stands up and looks at the thunderstorm passing by.

Ryan: It means I'm in my own.

Britney then gets up and stands beside him while holding his hand.

Britney: You're not on your own. You got me, baby.

Sonny: And me.

Austin: Same here.

Britney: And your parents know what you've done and I know they would've very proud of you. Especially your father.

Sonny: Yeah....You corrected his mistakes and we were there standing by you in the end.

Ryan turns over behind him again and sees Willow wink over at him. He slowly starts to smile.

Ryan: Then, I thank God for all of you. Y'all are the only family I have left out here.

It then slowly began to rain and the four of them just stood there. But they all looked over at each other and made a group hug.

The screen slowly zooms out from the airport, goes up into the sky fades to black and then.....

Reception
Upon its first week, "Tranquility" was in the top three at the box office. Critics were understandably mixed in criticizing the film as its critical reception on Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie a pretty solid "Meh". With only 45% on the Tomato-meter, it's critical consensus reads, "Tranquility benefits from Jacob Latimores more than stellar performance, even though the narrative is all too familiar and the story is as generic as they come."
