Watch out for the big, bad wolf ...

EXT. BEVERLY HILLS MANSION -NIGHT

A giant Tudor monstrosity on an acre of land off Sunset Boulevard.

A long driveway behind a gated entrance.

Giant trees in the yard lit with tasteful white Christmas lights.

INT. MANSION - STUDY - CONTINUOUS

An ANGRY-LOOKING WOMAN (50’s)

paces back and forth in front a roaring fire.

Pert, classic WASP good looks, very Ralph Lauren.

She clutches a glass of scotch on the rocks.

Meet MARGO LOVE, Carrie’s mother.

Right now she’s three sheets to the wind.

And wracked with pain.

MARGO

(to someone offscreen)

I called her a couple of HOURS ago.

Where the hell IS SHE?

It’s CHRISTMAS EVE.

MALE VOICE (O.C.)

Maybe the batteries died on her cell.

She’ll call, don’t worry.

Reveal SETH LOVE (20), Carrie’s sibling.

Last brother standing.

Intense good looks.

Tori Amos T-shirt.

Holds a bottle of something imported.

He takes a swig.

MARGO

And that bitch EVA is on her way over.

SETH

She just wants to help, Mom.

It’s the holidays.

MARGO

Yeah, right.

She HELPED herself to half of your father’s money.

(drains her drink)

And what did I GET?

A PITTANCE.

A mere PITTANCE.

She THROWS the glass in the fireplace.

It SHATTERS.

SETH

Calm down, Mom.

You know what the doctor said.

MARGO

That quack can go FUCK himself.

And that BITCH isn’t stepping ONE FOOT in this house.

She’s a conniving SACK OF SHIT.

She clutches her chest.

Her face turns red.

She starts GAGGING.

Hits the floor. THWUMP.

Starts having a stroke.

Seth RACES to her aid.

Holds her hand.

SETH

Hold on, Mom -- HOLD ON.

He WHIPS OUT his cell phone.

Furiously PUNCHES 911.

INT. CARRIE’S OLDS - MOVING - NIGHT

Carrie drives the car down Laurel Canyon into Beverly Hills.

CARRIE

I’ve got some -- bad news.

BLUE

What? You found out who --

CARRIE

Yeah.

(beat)

Tolly Chill killed your sister.

BLUE

How do you know THAT?

CARRIE

I overheard him talking to his father about it --

in the room you were in.

(looks at her)

He recognized you right away.

BLUE

Then why did he take me to a PARTY?

CARRIE

He was planning on --

having some fun with you,

then killing you.

Blue looks out the window.

A tear streams down her cheek.

BLUE

I guess I’m not in Kansas anymore.

CARRIE

(looks in the mirror)

Welcome to the big, bad city.

(beat)

The question is, where do we go?

We can’t go back to my place,

because I gave Goombah Tolly my card.

(looks at her)

Where are you staying?

BLUE

At a motel near the club.

The International.

CARRIE

Scratch that.

They’ll check all the hotels and motels.

DEEP pockets.

Carrie’s phone RINGS.

She answers it.

CARRIE

Love here.

INTERCUT WITH:

INT. MANSION - STUDY - CONTINUOUS

Seth paces back and forth.

Watches an EMS team tend to Margo.

A PRIVATE NURSE stands by, watching.

SETH

Carrie, it’s Seth.

CARRIE

Hey, little brother.

Listen, I’m sorry.

I just got Mom’s message --

SETH

Don’t worry about that.

It’s Mom. She had a stroke --

CARRIE

Mom had A STROKE?

SETH

She’s okay. It was a mild one.

EMS is here now. They say she’s okay.

We’ve got a private nurse,

and they’re gonna set Mom up here in the den.

CARRIE

She’s not going to the HOSPITAL?

SETH

You know Mom hates hospitals.

CARRIE

Don’t remind me.

I’ll never forget having to

stitch up her forehead that time --

SETH

Can you come over?

I’m a little freaked out.

Eva’s coming over,

and I’m afraid her head is gonna explode.

You’re the only one that can --

you know, calm her down.

CARRIE

I’m on my way.

(looks at Blue)

I gotta warn you.

I’ve got company.

SETH

Work or play?

CARRIE

Strictly work.

SETH

Cool. Is she hot?

INT. HOLLYWOOD HILLS MANSION - STUDY - NIGHT

Carrie shuts the door.

CARRIE

We’re gonna have to go out the window.

BLUE

You got any coffee?

Carrie pours her another cup.

Blue drinks it.

Carrie goes to the window.

Tries to PUSH it up.

But it won’t budge.

CARRIE

Shit.

BLUE

Maybe it’s locked.

Check the -- doohickey thing on top.

CARRIE

Smart ass.

She CLICKS it open.

Blue drains her cup. Smiles.

BLUE

My sister and I used to sneak out of the house all the time.

(beat)

Why are you dressed like that?

CARRIE

Long story. Tell you later.

Let’s get the fuck outta here.

Carrie climbs out the window.

Followed by Blue.

EXT. MANSION - SIDE YARD - CONTINUOUS

The girls walk toward the front of the house.

Carrie peers around the corner. Sees --

THE LARGE GOONS

Walking right toward her.

She slips back around the corner.

Takes Blue’s hand.

CARRIE

Someone’s coming.

Pretend you’re drunk.

And she GRABS Blue.

Starts making out with her.

BLUE

What are you --

CARRIE

Shhh.

Italian and Irish walk around the corner.

ITALIAN GOON

Fuck you, Mick.

She’s got the hots for me,

and you know it.

MICK

Yeah, right, Aldo.

Keep living in your little dreamworld.

She was makin’ eyes at ME.

They see Carrie and Blue.

MICK

Whoah. Lesbo action.

ALDO

Fucking HOT.

They walk by, eyeing the girls.

MICK

Way to go, LADIES.

ALDO

Can I join in?

Mick and Aldo snicker,

continue down around the house.

Carrie pulls away.

Watches them go. Lets go of Blue.

CARRIE

Sorry about that. Hope I didn’t scare you.

BLUE

No -- not at all. That was --

(beat)

Kinda -- nice.

CARRIE

Remember, I’m like a sister.

(looks around)

C’mon, let’s blow this white slavery stand.

Follow me.

EXT. POOL AREA - CABANA - NIGHT

Carrie leaves the cabana, now dressed in the drunk girl’s minidress.

Her hair is up, and she’s put on some makeup.

She ‘cleans up’ nicely.

She starts walking toward the party.

CARRIE

Always a bridesmaid --

Porkpie and another GOON walk by.

They give her the eye.

TALL GOON

Check out the gams on that one.

PORKPIE

Down, boy. We gotta filly to find.

EXT. PATIO - MOMENTS LATER

The auction is over. The patio is overflowing with guests mingling and smoking.

Carrie comes up the steps from the yard. Stops. Looks around.

Heads toward the entrance into the house.

Two MEN IN DASHIKIS watch her.

AFRICAN PRINCE

Now THAT is a fine specimen.

A meal fit for a king.

AFRICAN DIPLOMAT

The other white meat.

They look at each other. Chuckle.

Carrie nears the doorway.

Sees Tolly. Turns her head.

CARRIE

Shit.

And hurries inside.

INT. MANSION - REAR LOUNGE AREA - CONTINUOUS

Carrie walks down the corridor she was chased down earlier.

Gets to the door that Blue ran into. Looks around. Nobody.

She puts her ear against the wood. Listens.

Takes out a lock pick. Works it.

The door POPS open. She slips in.

INT. STUDY - CONTINUOUS

All lights out. Carrie tip-toes in the darkness.

She finds a lamp on the desk. CLICKS it on.

Sees Blue. Passed out in the chair. Head to the side.

CARRIE

BLUE.

She races over. Checks her pulse.

CARRIE (CONT’D)

Thank god.

The doorknob CLICKS.

CARRIE (CONT’D)

Shit.

She dashes over. CLICKS off the light.

Hides under the desk. The door OPENS.

In walks Tolly and Gero. The light CLICKS on.

TOLLY

See? I told you. She’s safe.

GERO

You fucking idiot.

What the fuck were you thinking,

bringing her HERE? Shit-head.

Always thinking with your dick.

(stares at Blue)

Wait a minute.

She’s the other dame’s sister, ISN’T she?

The one we had to whack.

The one that worked at the club.

TOLLY

Of course not.

You think I’m THAT stupid?

GERO

Yeah, I DO.

What were you planning to do with her?

TOLLY

Uh, I was gonna fuck her -- then whack her.

GERO

Well, there’s nothing wrong with that,

but you brought her HERE, to my HOME.

TOLLY

I didn’t wanna miss the party.

I was gonna do her afterwards --

and then take her somewhere and DO her.

GERO

Jesus fucking Christ on a stick.

(sighs)

Well, what’s done is done.

We’ll keep her here until the party’s over.

And then you whack her WITHOUT fucking her.

Got it?

TOLLY

Got it. I’m sorry, Pop.

I fucked up. Please forgive me.

GERO

Fuck it. It’s Christmas.

Let’s go join our guests.

I could really use a drink.

Tolly shuts off the light. They leave.

The door CLICKS shut.

Carrie emerges from under the desk.

She goes to Blue.

Unties her wrists, her feet.

Sees the ankle cuff.

CARRIE

She’s under house arrest.

Takes off the blindfold.

The gag. Sees she’s out cold.

She SLAPS Blue on the cheek.

Nothing. AGAIN. Still nothing.

CARRIE (CONT’D)

Shit.

Carrie looks around the room.

Sees a coffee machine.

She races over. Fills a cup with java.

Forces a cup down Blue’s throat.

Then another. Nothing.

Gets an idea.

She goes to the sink.

Fills a pitcher of water.

Carries it over to Blue --

And THROWS it on her face.

DRENCHING her. Blue stirs.

CARRIE (CONT’D)

NOW we’re talking.

(SLAPS her)

BLUE. Wake up. It’s ME, Carrie.

Blue opens her eyes. Groggy.

BLUE

Carrie?

CARRIE

C’mon. You gotta get up.

We gotta get you outta here.

BLUE

I’m -- all wet.

CARRIE

Sorry about that.

She LIFTS Blue up onto her feet.

BLUE

There were -- these men. They --

CARRIE

I know. Shhh. Save your strength.

Carrie pulls Blue toward the door.

Leans her up against the wall.

Slowly opens it. Peers out.

IN THE CORRIDOR

We see one of the GOONS standing guard.

IN THE STUDY

Carrie shuts the door.

CARRIE (CONT’D)

We’re gonna have to go out the window --

Always A Bridesmaid

EXT. SWIMMING POOL - CABANAS - NIGHT

A gorgeous, Olympic-sized pool lit from underneath.

Jutting out into the sky. A row of cabanas sit at one end, facing the view.

One of them has the curtains drawn. Light spilling out.

Carrie approaches the cabana. Carefully peers in.

A GOATEED HIPSTER lies next to

a GORGEOUS STARLET on a chaise.

She’s very drunk. Pushing him away.

GORGEOUS STARLET

I said NO, Josh. I don’t feel so good.

JOSH

You’ve been coming on to me all night.

(hands her a cocktail)

C’mon. Have another sip.

You’ll feel better.

GORGEOUS STARLET

NO MORE. I’ve had -- too much.

He smiles.

Starts pulling up the hemline of her minidress.

JOSH

C’mon, you know you want it.

GORGEOUS STARLET

NO, stop it -- I said NO.

CARRIE

The woman said NO.

He turns to look.

Carrie DASHES over.

Grabs him by the arm.

YANKS him off her.

He gets up. Livid. Weaving.

JOSH

Fucking bitch.

Mind your own business.

(assumes fighting stance)

Prepare to DIE.

CARRIE

You wanna fight?

She PUNCHES him the jaw, BANG.

He hits the ground, THWUMP.

CARRIE (CONT’D)

Boom, boom, boom -- out go the lights.

(looks at the woman)

You okay?

The woman smiles at him.

Her eyes say ‘thank you.’

She passes out.

Carrie takes off her jacket.

INT. MANSION - STUDY - CONTINUOUS

Blue sits in a chair.

Blindfolded. Gagged.

Wrists and feet tied.

Wearing an electronic ankle cuff.

Porkpie sits in a chair across the room, smoking.

Watching her. His cell RINGS. He answers it.

PORKPIE

Hey, boss.

I got the girl. She’s with me.

(low)

She tried to split. I had to --

INTERCUT WITH:

TOLLY

Outside on the patio.

Searching for Carrie.

TOLLY

Good. Keep her there.

And don’t tell anyone,

not even my father.

PORKPIE

Okay, but --

TOLLY

Shut up and listen to me.

There was a private detective at the club tonight,

and she followed us here.

I almost had her,

but she got away.

We gotta find her.

I think she’s onto us.

PORKPIE

You want me to stay here with the girl?

TOLLY

No, I need you to help me look.

Make sure she’s restrained,

and give her something to sleep for awhile.

We’ll deal with her later.

PORKPIE

Gotcha.

TOLLY

We’re out here in the back.

I need you and a couple of men

to check out the pool area. Got it?

PORKPIE

I’m on top of it, chief.

He hangs up.

Takes a syringe out of his pocket.

Walks over to Blue.

Looks at her fondly.

PORKPIE (CONT’D)

This won’t hurt a bit --

INT. HOLLYWOOD HILLS MANSION - STUDY - NIGHT

A home office. Blinds drawn. Dark and quiet.

Soundproofed. Blue cowers in the corner.

Porkpie locks the door.

BLUE

Please don’t hurt me.

PORKPIE

(walks toward her)

Don’t be silly.

Tolly couldn’t find you.

He got worried.

(smiles)

C’mon. There’s nothing to be afraid of.

Blue GRABS a lamp. Raises it like a club.

BLUE

Stay AWAY from me.

Porkpie GRABS it with a meaty paw.

Shakes his head. Grins.

PORKPIE

Feisty little thing, aren’t you?

She makes a fist.

Tries to HIT him.

He GRABS it. SQUEEZES.

He pulls a rag out of his pocket.

SHOVES it in her face.

She goes LIMP.

HITS the floor, THUD.

Pulls out his cell phone.

Punches in a number. Listens.

Shove it up your ASS.

And she SPRINTS off in the opposite direction.

Takes off after her.

Gets to a set of double doors,

BANGS through them into --

Scuttles across the cement between two cars.

Tolly’s footsteps get nearer.

TOLLY (O.C.) (CONT'D)

I know you’re out here.

(pulls out his gun)

I’m not gonna hurt you.

I just wanna talk to you.

WHIPS it to the side.

It HITS a garbage can with a BANG.

TOLLY

Turns at the sound.

RACES over to the trash cans.

TOLLY (CONT’D)

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

TWO GOONS

Come out the back door.

Tolly sees them. They trot over.

ITALIAN GOON

Hey, boss.

IRISH GOON

KICKS one over.

LEAPS into the gap. Nothing.

Follow me, my love.

He pulls her toward the front.

Gero turns to an ASSOCIATE.

GERO

She looks a lot like that other girl

he was dating, don’tcha think?

The one that -- disappeared?

ACROSS THE ROOM

We see Carrie.

Dressed as a caterer, holding a tray of drinks.

She scans the room. Looking for Blue.

ON THE STAGE

The auctioneer addresses the crowd,

now gathered in front of the stage.

A YOUNG GIRL (16) stands next to him,

elegant in Chanel. Simply beautiful.

Coiffed to perfection.

If you look really carefully,

you’ll recognize her as one of the hostages

we saw earlier in the plane.

CLOSE ON

The girl. Her eyes bright with frightened tears.

TUXEDO

Smiles. Takes her hand. Raises her arm.

AUCTIONEER

Ladies and gentlemen,

I’m pleased to introduce you to

Elena Markova from Romania.

You will be bidding on having the opportunity

to have dinner with her at Le Cirque,

followed by an evening at the opera.

And please don’t be shy about your bidding --

remember, all proceeds from this auction are going to charity.

So let’s get out those checkbooks and give, in the holiday spirit.

GERO

Nudges Swarthy. Chuckles.

GERO

Yeah. To me.

BLUE

Watches with Tolly.

Curious. Something’s a little -- off.

Maybe Carrie was right about him.

ELENA

Stands next to the auctioneer.

A tear runs down her cheek.

THE AUCTIONEER

Beams.

AUCTIONEER

The bidding will start at fifty-thousand dollars.

(BANGS the gavel)

Do I hear fifty-thousand dollars?

BLUE

Turns to Tolly.

BLUE

I need to go to the ladies’ room.

Deck The Fucking Halls

Happy Hump Day, crimestoppers. You say your feeling a bit down? Frustrated with life? Angry as hell, and can't take it anymore? Then get your asses over to the coolest hardboiled-pulp crime joint in cyberspace, where the action is HOT ... at That Killing Feeling.

Onto today's fresh, steaming joint from LITTLE GIRL BLUE, where things are picking up steam.

Private eye Carrie Love gets a voicemail on her cell phone from her mother that her brother was just killed in a hit and run accident ... on Christmas Eve, no less ... but since she and her little bro didn't get along, she postpones dealing with it, and instead decides to follow her new client, amateur stripper/college coed Blue Wonder, who is in the company of Tolly Chill, the strip club manager, as something is just 'not right' about him ...

EXT. FANTASY ISLAND STRIP CLUB - PARKING LOT - NIGHT

A black SUPER-STRETCH LIMO sits idling.

The DRIVER gets out. Opens the rear door.

Stands at attention.

Nearby, Carrie sits in her ‘68 OLDSMOBILE DELTA 88 CONVERTIBLE.

Pulls out her cell phone. Checks her voice mail.

CARRIE’S MOTHER (V.O.)

Carrie, it’s your mother --

(gasps)

Tad -- was in a -- car accident,

a drunk driver hit him -- he, he --

(beat)

He’s dead, Carrie. Oh, my god -- he’s DEAD.

On CHRISTMAS. You have to come home, NOW.

Call me as soon as you get this message, okay?

Call me, RIGHT AWAY.

CLICK.

CARRIE

Shit.

TOLLY AND BLUE

Walk toward the limo. Get in.

Driver closes the door.

CARRIE

Turns the key in the ignition.

The V8 engine ROARS.

CARRIE (CONT’D)

You can choose your friends --

EXT. 10 FREEWAY - LIMO - MOVING - NIGHT

The super-stretch cruises east in the fast lane.

BEHIND THE LIMO

We see Carrie’s white whale tailing it, two cars back.

ANGLE ON --

Carrie. Driving. Cigarette dangling from her lip.

CARRIE (V.O.)

I had a funny feeling about Tolly Chill.

Something just wasn’t right.

So I decided to keep an eye on Little Girl Blue.

I always feel protective of youth and innocence.

Part of my code.

(beat)

I hadn’t spoken to my brother Tad in eight years.

Little fucker was a right-wing, born-again Christian.

Didn’t approve of my ‘lifestyle.’

That’s a good one, huh?

My YOUNGER BROTHER didn’t approve of --

(beat)

Sanctimonious little shit.

(beat)

My father and I had been on the outs for a long time.

We finally reconciled -- right before he died.

Told me that while we were in Splitsville,

he had made a fortune -- and that he was sorry,

but he had given all his money to his new wife --

and my brothers Tad and Seth.

That it was an irrevocable trust,

and he couldn’t change it.

My mother and I were left out in the cold.

(beat)

I told him it didn’t matter.

It wasn’t about the money.

I was just glad to have him back in my life.

Carrie FLICKS her cigarette into the night.

CARRIE (V.O.) (CONT'D)

Now, a few years later --

I gotta confess, it eats at me sometimes.

I’ve had to scratch and claw to survive in the world,

while my brothers have lived in the lap of luxury.

(beat)

They each got eight million.

My stepmother got fifteen.

And the house on the coast.

And the yacht. The condo in the Bahamas --

(beat)

I’ll call her tomorrow.

Tell her my battery was dead.

Takes a little time for me to fake grief.

Carrie pulls out a flask. Takes a long pull.

CARRIE (CONT’D)

What the fuck kinda name is Tolly Chill anyway?

Sure as hell isn’t one of the good guys.

EXT. LAUREL CANYON - MANSION - NIGHT

A swingin’ jazz version of some Christmas tune over --

A futuristic mansion at the top of Laurel Canyon.

A pool to the side of the joint juts out on stilts into the sky.

The skyline glitters down below. Clear. Crisp. Gorgeous.

A big party is in full-swing.

The landscape is dotted with GUESTS milling about.

Music plays on hidden loudspeakers.

Festive holiday decorations abound.

Christmas in Hollywood.

IN THE FRONT

The super-stretch pulls up to the VALETS.

One of them opens the door.

Tolly and Blue step out.

BLUE

This is -- amazing.

TOLLY

Welcome to paradise, baby.

Hot and cold running pleasure.

Deck the fucking halls.

(beat)

Excuse my French --

DOWN THE STREET

Carrie parks the Olds. Gets out. Starts walking.

INT. MANSION - BALLROOM - NIGHT

A groovy world beat throbs over --

A cavernous space, art-directed to death.

Glossy, outre environs.

The kinda joint you see in coffee table books.

Like the UN of swinging parties.

ROCK MUSICIANS, POLITICIANS, WEALTHY INDUSTRIALISTS,

HEDGE FUND HIPSTERS, PRO ATHLETES, FASHIONISTAS

mingle and chatter with cocktails.

Tolly leads Blue through the crowd, in a daze.

He stops in front of a group of guests in a small cluster.

TOLLY

Everybody, I’d like you to meet Blue.

She’s my honored guest this evening.

Ripe for the picking, and available to the highest bidder.

Talk about a stocking stuffer.

(off her look)

I’m KIDDING.

A bleached blonde ROCK STAR looks her over. Smiles.

BLEACHED BLONDE ROCK STAR

Hey, babe. Maybe later on we can shake our tail feathers.

Find some mistletoe.

BLUE

Ohmigod. I’m a -- big fan.

BLEACHED BLONDE ROCK STAR

That makes two of us.

I Run This Joint

Happy Tuesday, crime motherfuckers. Are you ready to get your rocks off? Then belly up to the bar and get your daily steaming slice of hardboiled pulp, served hot and nasty ... at That Killing Feeling.

Onto today's joint from LITTLE GIRL BLUE, where the plot not only thickens, it congeals.

Private eye Carrie Love and her new client, college coed/amateur stripper Blue Wonder toast to Carrie's helping Blue find out who killed her sister, but are interrupted by Tolly Chill, the manager of the strip club, who not only hires Blue after her disastrous audition, but also invites her to a party in the Hollywood Hills ...

INT. FANTASY ISLAND STRIP CLUB - BAR - NIGHT

Blue smiles at Carrie. They toast to their new working relationship.

MALE VOICE (O.C.)

There she is. The lovely Miss Blue.

TOLLY CHILL

Appears before them. Suave.

Eyes crinkled with satisfaction.

BLUE

Oh, hi.

TOLLY

I’m Tolly. I run this joint.

BLUE

OH. Nice to meet you.

(beat)

I’m so embarrassed --

He raises her hand to his lips.

Kisses it. Smiles.

TOLLY

Nonsense. You were wonderful.

In fact, I’d like to offer you a job. Dancing.

CARRIE

See? What did I tell you?

TOLLY

(ignores Carrie, to Blue)

I’m going to a little holiday soirée in the Hollywood Hills tonight --

and I’d love for you to accompany me.

BLUE

A party? In the Hollywood Hills?

TOLLY

Should be fun. Nice mix of people.

Movie stars, pro athletes, rock stars, politicians.

(smiles)

I’d be honored.

BLUE

Sure. I’d be honored.

TOLLY

Terrific. I have to go take care of some business in the back office.

Stay here, have a drink on me, and I’ll be back in a few minutes.

BLUE

Okay --

He bows. Turns, walks away. Carrie watches him.

BLUE (CONT’D)

Holy SHIT. A party in the Hollywood Hills.

CARRIE

There’s something -- off about him.

BLUE

Don’t be silly. He’s cute.

CARRIE

Just be careful.

BLUE

He seems like a complete gentlemen.

CARRIE

Sure. All guys who run strip clubs are 'complete gentlemen.'

BLUE

If I didn’t know better, I’d say you’re jealous.

Pause.

CARRIE

If you’re going to hire my services,

you’re going to have to trust my judgment.

(off her stare)

Look. I’ve been around the block.

There’s a lot of sharks in this town

that can make a meal out of a gal like you.

Just be careful, okay? Keep your eyes open.

BLUE

Okay.

CARRIE

Okay. And don’t be afraid to call me if anything gets -- weird.

Any time of the day or night.

Think of me like a big sister.

BLUE

I like that --

TOLLY

Appears. All smiles. Eyes flashing.

TOLLY

Are you ready to go?

BLUE

I need to go to the ladies room.

Be back in a sec.

She slides off her stool.

Grabs her purse.

Heads for the loo.

Tolly and Carrie appraise each other.

TOLLY

(watches her)

Gorgeous girl.

(turns, looks at Carrie)

So what’s your story?

CARRIE

(hands him her card)

Carrie Love, PI. A friend.

TOLLY

(reads the card)

It’s nice to see the young lady has --

people watching out for her.

(weird smile)

Can’t be too careful these days.

PUSH IN Carrie.

Finishing her drink.

CARRIE

Gotta watch out for those sharks.

(sips her beer)

Especially when you’re living in a fishbowl.

Fast, Cheap & Out Of Control

Happy Monday, crime kids. Are you looking for adventure? Some cheap, sleazy hardboiled thrills? Then you've come to the right ... or wrong ... place, where the chicks are hot, the violence cold, and bloodletting non-stop ... at That Killing Feeling.

Onto today's joint from LITTLE GIRL BLUE, where things are starting to heat up.

First up, we meet a pair of sleazy thugs who accept delivery of under-aged white slaves at the airport ...

Meanwhile, private eye Carrie Love decides to help amateur dancer/college coed Blue Wonder find out who killed her stripper sister, Jonna ...

EXT. SANTA MONICA AIRPORT - NIGHT

A small PROPELLER AIRPLANE sits on the runway.

Like something out of an old movie. Does this thing really FLY?

A van is parked nearby. Two LARGE GOONS get out.

Walk over to the plane. The TALLER GOON,

wearing shades and a porkpie hat, pulls out his cell.

Punches a number.

PORKPIE HAT GOON

We’re here.

(listens)

Asshole. I told you to FEED them.

The airplane door opens.

Porkpie Hat looks at the SHORTER GOON,

who takes a sip from a flask.

PORKPIE HAT GOON (CONT'D)

We might have three instead of four.

FLASK GOON

Long flight. No peanuts.

A ramp is lowered from the open doorway.

The goons walk up.

INSIDE THE PLANE

FOUR UNDERAGED ROMANIAN GIRLS (15-16)

sit huddled on the floor in chains.

One of them has vomited all over herself.

A SKINNY CROATIAN MAN (40’s) looks at them.

Shakes his head.

SKINNY CROATIAN MAN

Not my fault. Boss said no more smack.

PORKPIE HAT GOON

I’ve got a rag in the van. C’mon, let’s move it.

Gotta big party tonight in the hills.

And Santa’s gotta deliver the presents.

INT. FANTASY ISLAND STRIP CLUB - AT THAT MOMENT

Blue sits at far end of the bar with Carrie.

She’s now wearing jeans and a belly shirt.

They sip bottles of beer.

BLUE

I’m so embarrassed.

CARRIE

Don’t be. You were great.

(beat)

Minor detail.

BLUE

But I fucking FELL.

CARRIE

Adds to your charm.

They’re gonna offer you a job.

Just you wait.

Pause.

BLUE

So -- you’re a private detective.

CARRIE

I am. But keep it under your hat.

I come here to do a Garbo.

(pulls out her card)

Here. Just in case --

BLUE

(takes it, reads)

Fast, Cheap & Out of Control?

CARRIE

Marketing gimmick.

(takes a swig)

And it gives Joe Average a hard-on.

BLUE

How much do you charge?

CARRIE

Too much.

(beat)

Are you in some kind of trouble?

BLUE

It’s -- about my sister.

CARRIE

Is she in trouble?

Pause.

BLUE

She -- died.

CARRIE

I’m sorry. What happened?

Blue looks around.

Makes sure no one is listening.

BLUE

They said she committed suicide.

But that’s not true.

She’d never do that. Never.

Jonna would NEVER do that.

No way.

(looks again)

She was a dancer here.

Jonna was trying to make it as an actress,

said this was just temporary,

that the money was great,

the people were nice,

and that she was making some great contacts.

(sips her beer)

She wrote me once a week.

Then the letters stopped.

My parents were contacted by the police,

they said she’d killed herself.

(angry)

But she DIDN’T. I KNOW she didn’t.

(hisses)

Someone KILLED her.

CARRIE

I’m -- sorry.

(beat)

I was wondering what a nice girl like you

was doing here on Christmas Eve.

BLUE

I’m on break from college.

My parents think I’m on campus studying.

They’re really upset with me.

(eyes tearing up)

I’m gonna find out who KILLED her.

Pause.

Carrie stares at her.

CARRIE

I’ll do it.

BLUE

But you said you were too expense --

CARRIE

I am. But I made a bundle on my last case.

Time for me to pay it forward.

You know, karma.

(smiles)

Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap.

(beat)

Ho, ho, ho.

Here's Looking At You, Kid

You say you’re feeling bored? Stressed out? Ready to explode? Wanna get up on the roof with a high-powered assault rifle and start picking off pedestrians? Then get your skinny asses over to the coolest crime joint in cyberspace … at That Killing Feeling.

Onto today's joint from LITTLE GIRL BLUE ...

Wherein private eye Carrie Love takes in 'amateur night' at the Fantasy Island strip club, and watches the delicious, young Blue Wonder work the pole ...

INT. STRIP CLUB - NIGHT

Carrie and Blue sit at the bar.

The bartender places the beer and shot in front of Blue.

Carrie pulls out a money clip. Peels off a fifty. Tosses it.

CARRIE

Leave the bottle. Keep the change.

Bartender gives her a look.

Takes the bill. Glides away.

Carrie fills her shot glass.

Raises it in a toast.

Blue raises hers.

They CLINK.

CARRIE

Here’s lookin’ at you, kid.

They down them.

Grab their beers.

Take a swig. Smile.

BLUE

So -- you’re not a dancer --

CARRIE

(pours two more)

Hell, no. I’m a dick.

BLUE

A what?

Carrie does her shot.

Blue follows. Staring.

CARRIE

(pours two more)

Private dick.

You know, missing persons.

Cheating spouses. Serial killers.

Cat stuck in a tree. The usual.

BLUE

You’re a private detective?

The song ends.

The DJ’S Voice BOOMS over the sound system.

OILY DJ

Give it up for GOTHIKA, fellas.

Wasn’t she AMAZING?

A smattering of half-hearted applause.

CARRIE

(raises her shot)

To Gothika --

BLUE

Gothika.

They down them.

Carrie pours two more.

They toast.

CARRIE

Liquid courage.

Blue NODS.

They both SLAM THEM.

OILY DJ (O.C.)

Up next, we have the lovely MISS BLUE.

BLUE

Shit, that’s ME.

She hops off the stool.

Pulls a CD out of her bag.

BLUE

Wish me luck.

CARRIE

Luck has nothing to do with it.

Not with that chassis.

Blue grins. Turns to go.

Stops. Looks at Carrie.

BLUE

I’d like to talk to you about something.

You gonna stick around?

CARRIE

Consider me stuck.

Blue smiles.

Trots off toward the stage.

STANDING IN A DARK CORNER

Is TOLLY CHILL (27), dark-haired, smouldering good looks.

The manager, and the owner’s son.

Cock of the walk.

TOLLY

(watching the stage)

Fresh off the boat.

(chuckles)

Catch of the day.

MUSIC
EXPLODES.

The whip-cream, pussycat chainsaw-snarl

of Groove Coverage’s 21ST CENTURY DIGITAL GIRL.

ONSTAGE

Blue GRABS the pole.

Wraps a long, lean thigh around it.

Moves to the music.

She’s pretty good.

Looks awesome.

And scared to death.

She closes her eyes.

The alcohol starts doing its trick.

She relaxes. Starts getting into it.

Starts singing along.

BLUE

'I got breast implants, paid for by my boyfriends --

I got a Botox injection under my skin --

I only play with sex, but I don't let them in -- '

And suddenly Blue’s ON FIRE.

She WORKS it.

Undulates to the edge of the stage.

Dollar bills go FLYING.

A PIG-FACED SALESMAN

Licks his lips. Eyes big as saucers.

PIG-FACED SALESMAN

Yeah, honey -- GIVE IT UP.

BLUE

Twirls around.

Unhooks her halter top.

It FLIES off.

She grabs her breasts in her hands.

Starts flicking the nipples.

CARRIE

Watches from the bar.

CARRIE

She’s a natural.

BLUE

Goes to the pole.

LEAPS UP, GRABS it with her thighs.

Rides it like a horse. KICKS a leg out --

And she SLIPS, FALLS,

and HITS the floor with a CRACK.

She lies motionless.

Then JUMPS UP and RUNS off the stage.

AT THE BAR

The bartender leans over to Carrie.

Shakes his head.

BARTENDER

Another one bites the dust.

CARRIE

You’re just jealous cause you can’t have her.

BARTENDER

And you can?

CARRIE

Don’t look now, but Dr. Phil down there

needs another Harvey Wallbanger.

Jerry Garcia, Eat Your Heart Out

Happy Thursday, crime fucks. Are you looking for some cheap, tawdry thrills? A hardboiled kick in the ass? Then you've come to the right place, a world full of strippers, mobsters and freaky private eyes ... at That Killing Feeling.

Time for the start of a new story today, folks. You just read the first Carrie Love private eye joint, LEGS ... and now it's time to unveil the most recent one, written earlier this year ...

In LITTLE GIRL BLUE, Carrie 'meets cute' with Blue Wonder, a young girl who's sister Jonna was murdered. The cops say it was a suicide, but Blue knows that 'just ain't true.'

Problem is, Jonna was working as a stripper. So Blue ditches going home from college to her parent's house on Christmas Eve ...

To go undercover at her strip club.

Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for a 'fucked-up Christmas' ...

Hope you enjoy.

EXT. STRIP CLUB - NIGHT

The gut-kicking metal PUNCH

of The Cult’s LOVE REMOVAL MACHINE over --

Fantasy Island Gentleman’s Club.

About a mile from the beach on the outskirts of Santa Monica.

Not exactly in disrepair, but not fancy, either.

A meat and potatoes strip joint.

Parking lot a quarter-full on a Sunday night.

Sign reads ‘AmateUr NiGht’. ‘HApPy HolIdaze.’

FEMALE VOICE (O.C.)

The ‘Gentleman’s club’ is an interesting phenomenon.

Men will pay hard-earned cash to go to a place

where they can see naked women.

Where they can look, but not touch.

And they’ll spend even more money for a private dance,

where they can get ‘up close and personal’ with a girl.

(beat)

But there’s still no touching allowed.

No contact whatsoever. It’s the ultimate tease.

A gentle torture. Erotic pleasure -- with no release.

No climax. No -- closure.

(beat)

Kinda like going to a restaurant and not being able to eat.

Or going to a whorehouse and not being able to --

(beat)

Never mind. You get the idea.

ANGLE ON --

A beat-up Dodge Dart Swinger convertible.

A YOUNG WOMAN sits behind the wheel.

Listening to the music on the car stereo.

Nodding her head, eyes closed.

PUNCHING her fists in the air.

Meet BLUE WONDER (20),

recent transplant from the Midwest.

Tall and gawky, a gazelle still on the cusp.

Long brown hair tied in a ponytail.

Studious-looking glasses.

Which clashes with her denim cutoffs and black vinyl halter top.

Not to mention the six-inch platforms.

ANGLE ON --

Her lovely tan legs move to the music.

ANGLE ON --

She takes off her glasses.

Puts them on the dashboard.

RIPS out her scrunchie.

SHAKES her hair like a wild woman.

BLUE

(sings)

'Scarlet woman, bought me a be-er --'

She stops. SHUTS OFF the music.

Looks in the rearview mirror.

BLUE (CONT’D)

I can’t do it.

What the hell was I thinking.

MALE VOICE (O.C.)

You dancing tonight?

A GOOD-LOOKING JOCK appears next to the car. Grinning.

BLUE

I was -- thinking about it.

GOOD-LOOKING JOCK

Better think harder.

You’ll win, no problem.

BLUE

You really think so?

GOOD-LOOKING JOCK

You’re not from around here, are you?

BLUE

It shows, huh.

INT. FANTASY ISLAND - MOMENTS LATER

Marilyn Manson’s THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE, LOUD, over --

The club. Dark, with a bar running along one wall.

A handful of CUSTOMERS on stools.

A couple of DANCERS lounge at the end, chatting.

Christmas decorations look odd, out of place.

The BARTENDER cleans a glass, watching -

THE STAGE

On it, GOTHIKA (18), pale, skinny --

and, you guessed it --

totally goth, is working the pole.

Down to her black G-string.

Pierced nipple rings glistening in the pin-spot.

She looks great, if you like that death-warmed-over look.

But she’s jacked up on something -- speed, maybe PCP --

and it’s making her move more like a stormtrooper than a stripper.

Even the Santa hat doesn’t help.

THE FRONT DOOR

Opens. In walks Blue.

She’s made up her face.

Almost unrecognizable.

Painted, tarted-up.

And scared to death.

She walks over to the bar.

Tentative in platforms.

Sits precariously on a stool.

Bartender glides over. Pounces.

BARTENDER

Here for the contest?

BLUE

Uh -- yeah.

BARTENDER

Name your poison.

On the house.

BLUE

A Heinekin and a shot, please.

BARTENDER

Jack okay?

BLUE

Sure. Thanks.

He turns to get her drink.

FEMALE VOICE (O.C.)

Woman after my own heart.

Blue turns, looks, sees --

CARRIE LOVE

On the stool next to her.

Rakish in jeans,

white t-shirt and motorcycle jacket.

Ponytail. Naughty red lips.

Bright blue eyes full of secrets.

What momma warned you about.

We recognize her voice from the opening voiceover.

CARRIE

Shot and a beer.

Simple. Perfect.

All-American.

BLUE

Uh -- yeah.

CARRIE

(offers hand to shake)

Carrie Love.

Just making small-talk.

I would imagine you’re a bit nervous.

BLUE

(takes it, shakes)

Hi. Yeah. Thanks. I’m -- Blue.

CARRIE

Blue?

I would have figured you for a Becky or a Susie.

Heather, maybe.

BLUE

Parents are old hippies.

Carrie raises her shot glass --

CARRIE

Jerry Garcia, eat your heart out.

And DOWNS it.

Kitten With A Whip

Happy Hump Day, crime humpsters. Are you looking for some action? Cheap thrills? Saucy vixens carrying semi-automatic weapons? Then you've come to the right place, where the hardboiled pulp is served cold ... at That Killing Feeling.

Onto today's joint from LEGS, which is the exciting conclusion to our story ... in which private eye Carrie Love, having won her battle against demented snuff filmmaker Klaus Speer and evil CIA black ops spook The Bagger, gets a little 'hot under the collar' with Interpol agent Felina Bella Donna ...

EXT. CLUB FUCK - BACK ALLEY - NIGHT

A dumpster rattles. The lid slowly opens.

Carrie starts to crawl out. She's a battered mess.

A beam of light flashes on her. It's JOSH TOTT.

TOTT

Holy shit. Are you alright, Miss?

She slips over the edge. Hits the ground.

CARRIE

Ow. Fuck.

(beat)

Yeah, I guess so -- nothing seems to be broken.

Carrie squints at the agent, his jacket.

CARRIE (CONT'D)

You're FBI? How OLD are you?

TOTT

A hell of a lot younger than YOU.

A standoff. The defensive and the damaged.

CARRIE

Hey, I'm sorry, okay?

I almost bit the dust back there.

Makes a girl a little cranky.

TOTT

I understand.

(beat)

I want you to stay here, okay?

Don't move. I'm gonna go get a medic.

He turns to go.

CARRIE

Hey, can I ask you a question?

TOTT

Maybe.

CARRIE

You guys worked with CO2 on this thing, right?

TOTT

I'm afraid that's classified information.

CARRIE

I know that. Hold on a sec.

This thing is killing me.

She slowly, heavily, unzips the front of her cat suit,

revealing her glistening cleavage in a black lace bra.

CARRIE (CONT'D)

God, does that feel good.

The agent takes in the view. Starts to thaw.

CARRIE (CONT'D)

I was working with agent Bella Donna.

Do you know her? Have you seen her?

TOTT

(impressed)

You mean 'the kitten with a whip?'

CARRIE

The one and only.

TOTT

She split. She was in a big hurry --

said something about taking a trip somewhere.

CARRIE

A trip?

TOTT

Stay put. I'll be right back.

He leaves. Carrie looks like she's going to collapse.

A light drizzle starts to fall. She starts walking.

INT. ASTON MARTIN - NIGHT

The rain softly hits the roof. Carrie blows her nose.

CARRIE (V.O.)

I crack my first real case,

and everybody I want to celebrate with is either dead or gone.

The cheese stands alone. With no crackers.

(beat)

Sorry I don’t have a happy ending for you.

I bet a test audience would hate this part.

Can’t market the downer ending in the multiplex.

The chick sort of gets the bad guys --

but she doesn’t get the girl.

(a bitter laugh)

And it’s a girl.

Like that’s gonna play in Peoria.

She opens the glove compartment.

Takes out a flask.

CARRIE (V.O.) (CONT'D)

Our conflicted heroine bottoms out.

Spirals down into a black hole of depression,

self-loathing, self-destruction.

(beat)

McKenzie Phillips can play me in the Lifetime movie.

Carrie listens to the rain.

Coming down hard now.

She takes a long pull of her savior.

Pushes back burning tears.

Someone POUND-POUNDS

on the driver's side window.

Fogged up.

FEMALE VOICE (O.C.)

(muffled)

Hey! What are you doing in there?

Carrie rolls down the window.

It’s FELINA. Holy shit.

CARRIE

Felina? You --

FELINA

There you are.

I've been looking all over for you.

CARRIE

You have?

FELINA

You're kidding, right?

Hold on a sec, I'm getting fucking soaked.

She races around the car.

Jumps in. SLAMS the door.

FELINA (CONT'D)

Real London weather out there.

Don't miss it.

CARRIE

I, uh -- was, uh --

FELINA

Hey. You've been crying.

Carrie opens her mouth. Nothing.

FELINA (CONT'D)

Oh my god. Did you think I left?

CARRIE

(tiny voice)

They said you were going on a trip.

FELINA

(leans over, strokes her hair)

Well, I am. I got five weeks vacation time coming to me.

(beat)

And I hear you've got this smashing

little bachelorette pad at the beach.

Silence. Total swoon.

And they kiss. Passionately.

Totally devour each other.

This is it, folks. The real thing.

CARRIE’S THEME starts, as --

Felina's knee hits a button on the dashboard.

The roof FLIES OFF.

THE CAMERA pushes up above the car,

the women going at it.

Carrie’s elbow SMACKS a panel on the steering wheel.

Clouds of smoke BILLOW OUT from the tailpipes.

A crowd gathers. FBI. SWAT. CLUB KIDS. A NEWS CREW.

Felina’s got Carrie on her back on the front seat.

No one else in the world.

Carrie’s boot CRACKS against the gear shift.

Knives CHING-CHING from the hubcaps.

The crowd BURSTS into applause.

THE CAMERA pushes higher, higher --

and a shield POPS UP from the trunk.

Machine guns FLIP OUT,

RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT --

and the crowd SCREAMS, starts RUNNING.

CLOSE ON --

The car’s glove box.

Carrie GRABS IT for dear life.

CARRIE (O.C.)

God, yes -- rule Britannia.

In a throw of passion, her wrist SLAPS a round black button.

ROBOTIC FEMALE VOICE (O.C.)

Ejection seat engaged. Good-bye.

Carrie and Felina exchange horrified looks.

The speaker box CRACKLES.

ROBOTIC FEMALE VOICE (CONT'D)

Activation terminated due to short circuit from -- dampness.

CARRIE (V.O.)

And then, for the first time in my life --

(beat)

Getting laid saved my ass.

Go Ahead. Rock Me, Amadeus

Happy Tuesday, crime motherfuckers. Are you looking for a good time? Or, shall we say, a BAD time? Then get your double-barelled asses over to the coolest hardboiled joint in cyberspace, where the guns are hot, the chicks are cold, and the action delirious ... at That Killing Feeling.

Onto today's joint from LEGS, kids ... where we arrive at the next-to-last chapter of our story. (I know, it's exciting. Remain calm. We'll be serving drinks afterwards.)

And now we return to demented snuff filmmaker Klaus Speer's underground lair, deep below Club Fuck, where he has private eye Carrie Love and interpol agent/'dominatrix to the stars' Felina Bella Donna hostage ... and we discover that Carrie has a few tricks up her ... boot.

INT. - CLUB FUCK - BASEMENT - NIGHT

A knife flashes. SLITS ZIVA'S THROAT. She falls with a THUD.

The Bagger appears. Waving a red-smeared butcher knife.

THE BAGGER

Put 'em where I can see 'em, Speer.

And relax your sphincter muscles, cause I'm coming in.

He licks blood off the knife.

THE BAGGER (CONT'D)

Mmm, low T-cell count. Delicious.

KLAUS

Norman. Now this is a pleasant surprise.

Please come in. I hope you're still not mad at me.

The Bagger sees the women.

The set. The camera. Walks around.

THE BAGGER

I'm sorry to disrupt your creative process,

Speer, but we're going on a little trip.

VOICE (O.C.)

Everybody FREEZE! You're under arrest!

VALENTINE

stands in the doorway. With a pair of sawed-off shotguns.

VALENTINE

I swear, either one of you so much as fart,

and I'll fucking blow your dick off.

KLAUS

Why is everybody so preoccupied with my willy?

VALENTINE

Get on the fucking floor, now!

O’HENRY

appears next to Valentine.

With a pair of service revolvers.

O'HENRY

You heard the officer, DO IT.

They lie down.

VALENTINE

O'Henry, you motherfucker.

Glad you could make it.

O'HENRY

Hey, what are partners for.

(beat)

I finished the puzzle.

EXT. CLUB FUCK - ROOF - NIGHT

A military HELICOPTER hovers over the roof.

COMMANDOS fly down on cables like lethal puppets in black.

EXT. CLUB FUCK - FRONT ENTRANCE - CONTINUOUS

Dozens of FEDERAL AGENTS and SWAT COPS

prepare for battle behind blockades, shields, assault vehicles.

JOSH TOTT, the HIPSTER AGENT, shouts into a bullhorn.

TOTT

Klaus Speer, this is the FBI!

We have the building surrounded!

Come out with your hands up and no one will get hurt!

I repeat -- this is the FBI!

Everyone please exit the premises IMMEDIATELY!

INSIDE THE CLUB

the music dies. Floodlights SNAP ON.

The crowd freezes, in shock.

They panic, SCREAM.

Stampede for the exits.

OUTSIDE THE CLUB

a tidal wave of leather, chrome and rubber rushes out.

IN THE STUDIO

the Bagger raises his wrists, Christ-like.

THE BAGGER

I haven’t had this much fun since brunch at Jeff Dahmer’s place.

And, fast as a whip -- so fast we almost can’t see it --

38 Specials FLY OUT from his cuffs -- SLAP into his palms.

Bullets RIP into Valentine and O'Henry, who hit the ground.

The assassin kicks their bodies out. He SLAMS the door.

Speer and the Bagger face off, weapons drawn.

Klaus’ face is now distorted. Swollen. Darker.

KLAUS

It would appear to be a checkmate.

THE BAGGER

That's stalemate, you fucking immigrant.

One of Klaus' ears falls off. Hits the floor.

KLAUS

Huh?

He touches his hand to his head, looks at it. Sees the blood.

THE BAGGER

Jesus, that's disgusting.

Talk about a swelled head --

you look like that guy in "Scanners."

I warn you -- if your head explodes,

you better not fucking get any of it on me.

Carrie giggles. Riding the wave of toxic pleasure.

CARRIE

Hey look, it's Vincent Van Gogh.

(to Klaus)

Hey, Vinnie -- can you lend me an ear?

FELINA

Carrie, don’t provoke him!

KLAUS

Shut up! All of you!

CARRIE

looks at Felina.

Gives the slightest of winks. Felina nods.

CARRIE

Fellas. I thought we were gonna have a party.

We got two guys, two girls -- really good drugs --

THE BAGGER

narrows his eyes. Thinks a moment.

THE BAGGER

(to Klaus)

Is that door secure?

KLAUS

Secure? It’s a bunker, a fallout shelter, bag-man.

They're gonna have to fucking drop the big one to get in here.

They lower their guns. Look at the women.

KLAUS (CONT'D)

Go ahead, shut the bitch up.

Be the star of your own porno.

The Bagger smiles, loosens his belt.

THE BAGGER

Rape and pillage time.

Klaus goes to the camera.

The Bagger leers at Carrie.

THE BAGGER (CONT'D)

I'm gonna do you first -- you got bigger cans.

CARRIE

Fuck me, killer. Take me to the dark side.

KLAUS

zooms in. Focuses.

THE BAGGER

unbuckles his trousers.

THE BAGGER

That’s the idea, you fucking whore.

I’m gonna come -- and you’re gonna go.

Carrie eyes focus. A glimmer of fire.

She concentrates, and --

as CARRIE’S THEME rises up --

CLOSE ON --

The toe of her boot.

A shiny steel blade FLIES OUT.

She JAMS it in the Bagger's crotch.

He SCREAMS in pain.

CARRIE

Take THAT, mystery date from hell.

You’ve been voted OFF the island.

He doubles over, looks at Carrie, in shock.

She works her tongue, takes aim --

and SPITS her chemical weapon in his mouth. Gulp.

CARRIE (CONT'D)

A little something to end your plague,

you fucking jack-off.

SHOUTING MALE VOICE (O.C.)

In there!

A battering ram POUNDS on the door. It BUCKLES.

A tear gas canister FLIES down from an air shaft --

Hits the floor, starts BILLOWING SMOKE.

Felina RIPS her hands free from the cuffs.

CARRIE

How the hell did you do that?

She pulls out a tiny saw, starts on Carrie's cuffs.

FELINA

Trade secret.

KLAUS

pulls out a grenade.

Smiles at Carrie and Felina.

KLAUS

Not so fast, women in peril --

time for a little plot twist.

CARRIE

(to Felina)

He’s bluffing.

(to Klaus)

Go ahead -- rock me, Amadeus.

He pulls the pin. Shakes his head.

KLAUS

Stupid bitch. Falco was Austrian.

An earth-shattering EXPLOSION rocks the studio.
