Sake To Me

Happy Tuesday, crime slicksters. It's time once again to take a trip to the dark side, where the girls are hot, the drinks are cold, and the hardboiled-pulp-noir action is non-stop, right here, at the coolest crime joint in cyberspace ... at That Killing Feeling.

In Chapter 7 of B-GIRLS, stripper Lexus Cole, hooker Bling Stevens and porn star Neena Jammer break into cyber-hacker Long Kim's condo and start disabling the virus he plans to unleash on social media website Friendbook, unaware that Long has picked up an Asian cutie at a Karaoke bar and is on his way home for a little 'downloading' of his own ...


INT. KARAOKE BAR - NIGHT
A big, high-end nightclub in Chinatown.

LONG KIM (20’s), tiny in huge glasses
and a sharp suit holds
a bottle of sake while belting out
Sid Vicious’ snarling version of MY WAY.

LONG
And more, much more than THIS,
I did it MYYYYYYY WAYYYYYY --

INT. LONG KIM’S LOFT - STUDY - NIGHT
Retro-futuristic-mod design.

Crammed with tech gear
and computer servers.

Bling goes to the desk,
sees three laptops.

BLING
(into her headset)
There’s three computers on his desk.
Which one do I use?

IN THE VAN
Smith speaks into his headset.

SMITH
Hold on a sec.
(types on his keyboard)
The little perv --
(to Bling)
The one on the left.
The other two are for porn.

BLING
Shakes her head.

BLING
Tech nerd cliche
number twenty-two.
Check.

IN THE KARAOKE BAR
The crowd ERUPTS IN APPLAUSE.

Long beams.
Takes a bow.

Then a big drink of sake.
Sees somebody in the crowd.

ANGLE ON:
A PRETTY ASIAN GIRL (20).
Staring at him with a big smile.

IN LONG’S LOFT
Bling types on the keyboard.

BLING
Okay.
I’ve entered the code.

SMITH (O.C.)
Good girl.
Now start downloading the data.
(to Lexus and Neena)
Lexus and Neena, once she’s done,
start wiping the servers clean.
Do you copy?

LEXUS
Of course.
Who can’t make copies?

Bling inserts a disc into the drive.
Looks at the screen.

Types a command on the keyboard.
Speaks on her headset.

BLING
Okay.
Data’s being downloaded.

EXT. LOFT BUILDING - NIGHT
A BLACK MERCEDES pulls up
to the parking garage entrance.

We see Long behind the wheel
and Pretty Girl beside him.

INT. LONG KIM’S LOFT - STUDY - NIGHT
Bling looks at the computer.

BLING
(into her headset)
It’s taking a long time.

SMITH (O.C.)
(electronic)
He’s got a shitload of files.
Shouldn’t take much longer.

The elevator in the foyer DINGS.

NEENA
Holy SHIT.
He’s HERE.

BLING
Quick, HIDE --
