FADE IN:
EXT. NEIGHBORHOOD - MORNING
TITLE CARD: ALLENTOWN, TEXAS
We see several dozen Humvees and military vehicles. They cruise up and down the streets. Houses line up the neighborhood on either side. A black Humvee SLOWS to a crawl. HALTS out front of one home.
A homeless man greets the driver. They talk unheard words. The homeless man gestures toward the house behind him. We see three soldiers step from the Humvee. They slowly approach the tucked away home.
Two of the soldiers are short. One flanks the rest, perhaps a good foot and a half taller than the other two. This is CAPTAIN JOHN HARRISON of the elite task force 'Red Squad One'.
FULL SHOT SOLDIERS APPROACHING HOME They carry semi-automatic weapons. All aimed forward. Captain John Harrison leads the way. They hold a battling ram.
ANGLE ON HOME
It seems a typical house. Tucked just off the street, surrounded by hedges and freshly cut grass.
FULL SHOT HOUSE FROM STREET P.O.V. -- CONTINUOUS
The soldiers slowly advance on the house. Closer inspection reveals it is run down. Wood hangs loose from several dozen places. Paint has long PEELED OFF. The front porch lies hazardously close to falling. The front screen door is ASKEW.
FULL SHOT INSIDE HOUSE -- MOMENTS LATER
We see two, young couples cross-legged on a carpet. They are drinking and smoking crack.
FULL SHOT INSIDE HOUSE -- CONTINUOUS
A loud CRACK is heard. The front door FLIES inward, barely missing the couples.
The soldiers rush in. Weapons aimed. Battling ram is dropped.
ANGLE ON COUPLES
They SCREAM with terror. The soldiers are around them, dragging them from the front room and out of the house.
FULL SHOT HOUSE FROM STREET P.O.V. -- CONTINUOUS
The soldiers lay the KICKING and SCREAMING
