DIRTY POLITICS: ACT 2
SCENE 9
Radu
has a nightmare about his time in the old country with Andy; we
discover Radu didn't have the stomach for brutality that Andy had and
that, in exchange for Radu helping Andy escape to America, Andy did a
job for their group of freedom fighters that ended up killing a lot of
civilians. Radu owes Andy and wakes up feeling terrible.
SCENE 10
Andy
goes to the grocery store and runs into Adam for an awkward encounter.
The two acknowledge each other; Andy seeing him as the man who stole the
only woman he ever loved and Adam seeing him as one of the biggest
threats to his political career.
SCENE 11
Eve drives home and sees that Radu is parked in the drive-way giving ice
cream to the boys for free (he is a "family friend" after all). She
asks them to go inside and has a word with him. Radu admits that they
don't like each other, but he would never do anything to hurt Mr.
Halfcoq or the kids and, furthermore, he reveals that he knows Luke is a
bastard. Eve goes inside and Radu waits for his boss to come out.
SCENE 12
Adam comes home from work, sees Radu, and talks to him in the ice cream truck. Radu explains he can handle it, that Andy even gave him a gun because he trusts him, but its gonna be hard. Adam replies that he has a back-up plan, but all that Radu needs to do is pull this off and he gets the recipe.
SCENE 13
Radu sets up the ambush at a nearby apartment building in little Bosnia. He has hired six members to be part of his hit squad. The plan is simple; let Andy walk up right to the front door and blow him away on the doorstep before he cane even kick down the door. Easy as cake.
SCENE 14
Except Eve followed behind Radu's icecream truck. She parks the car, sneaks over to Radu's truck, and finds the drugs. She also finds that Radu has left his revolved under the front seat, snatches it, and runs back off to her care.
SCENE 15
And Adam parked about a block away and saw Eve's car. He calls Radu, telling him to deal with this, and get Eve out of there. Radu explains that he'll handle it and tell her to go home.

| "SHEET! SHEET! SHEET!" |
SCENE 16
Radu goes out to check his truck, finds his revolver is gone, and the firefight begins out front of the apartment complex, "SHEET! SHEET! SHEET!"
DIRTY POLITICS: AFTERMATH
Andy kicks down the door and the kill squad opens fire on him, blowing apart his legs, and hitting him all over his body. On the way down to the ground, he managed to shoot all six of them dead, and lays there in a pool of his own blood.
Eve runs away from the gunfire and finds Adam's car. Adam gets angry and yells at her to get in the car when he hears the sirens.
Radu grabs an AK-47 off of one of the hit men and goes out front to finish the job. Radu leans over Andy to shoot him and Andy wakes up staring him down. Radu can't do it. Andy knocks him over the head, climbs up on the nearby wall, and tries to make it to his car. Eve panics and runs back toward the scene of the crime.
TWIST! Charlie, Andy partner, is a dirty cop working for Adam! He moves to plow down Andy and manages to plow down Eve as well...killing her on impact. Charlie gets out of the vehicle to finish off his partner, but Andy is too fast. He pulls the revolver out of the back of Eve's waistband and blows Charlie away.
Adam runs over with a sawed off and takes aim at Andy. He is horrified to see his wife's corpse. The two are at a stand-off. Radu intervenes, running over with the AK-47, firing into the air. He tells his boss to get out of her with his wife. Adam takes the advice, grabs Eve, and leaves. This just leaves Radu and Andy.
Ultimately, Radu can't do it and he leaves before the cops show up...
[Six Months Later...]
At a memorial service for Eve, we see that Adam has just been elected mayor and Andy is a hero cop. They pinned it all on Charlie as the "dirty cop" and Andy as the hero. Andy is crippled, but gets a "pity" job from Adam at the super market. Radu gets the envelope with the recipes-- two recipes. He tries one of them to discover its a trap, causing a fire, and he is burned. The second recipe works and Adam calls Radu to tell him to leave or he'll end up like all the dead trash.
THE END
And that's Fiasco. Tune in next week for more adventures.
