It Starts On The Page (Limited): Read ‘Dope Thief’ Episode 7 Script “Mussolini” With Foreword By Peter Craig


'Dope Thief' creator Peter Craig talks about writing Episode 7 of the Apple limited series. Part of a franchise featuring scripts of Emmy contenders.

However, a big score goes bad when the pair end up robbing the wrong house, one belonging to one of the biggest and most secretive narcotics operations on the East coast. The cops are making progress, the bikers are sharpening their shivs, the main duo’s relationship is being tested and Ray is dealing with his own family issues, while Manny is facing his own piercing predicament. In his intro for the script, Craig calls Dope Thief a “tragic love story.” He reveals that he wrote the episode, which was directed by Narcos: Mexico and Gangs of London director Marcela Said, in a “fever dream” over a few days.
