The Jig's Up

Hey there, crime kids. TGIF. It's time once again to take a trip to the dark side, where your most violent fantasies become sins of the flesh, right here, where the hardboiled action is non-stop, at the coolest crime joint in cyberspace ... at That Killing Feeling.

In Chapter 17 of LEGS, Episode 3, it's a clusterfuck of epic proportions when private eye Carrie Love and her ex-husband, homicide dick Bernie Keko storm white trash kidnapper Darryl Head's trailer and rescue Bernie's mother ...


EXT. TRAILER PARK - DAY
Carrie and Bernie stand
on the other side of the street
looking at Darryl’s trailer.

CARRIE
All the blinds are drawn.

BERNIE
Big surprise.

A HOMELESS WOMAN pushing
a shopping cart
walks by them.

HOMELESS WOMAN
Good afternoon, officers.

BERNIE
Afternoon, Ma’am.

HOMELESS WOMAN
You here about
the meth lab?

CARRIE
Meth lab?

HOMELESS WOMAN
Oh, yes.
Trailer number sixteen.
They’ve been Breaking Bad
for years now.
Guess the jig’s up, huh?
Not a bad run, yo.
(big smile)
Gotta boogie.
Don’t wanna be late
for my two-o’clock.

And she wheels
the cart away.

BERNIE
We’ll call it in after
we get Kitty and take care of
these white trash motherfuckers.

CARRIE
(nods, points)
Let’s go around the back
and come through that alley.

BERNIE
Let’s do it.

EXT. DARRYL’S TRAILER - DAY
Bernie and Carrie
come around the side.

Carefully walk up
to the front door.

Look at each other.
Pull out their guns. Nod.

BERNIE
(softly)
On the count of three --
(beat)
One, two -- THREE.

He KICKS the door in.
They RACE INSIDE.

INT. DARRYL’S TRAILER - LIVING ROOM - DAY
Darryl leans against the kitchenette
counter holding his cell,
gun tucked in the waistband
of his jeans.

Looks at Bernie and Carrie.
Guns aimed at him.

Wendy and Denny
sit on the couch.
Terrified.

BERNIE
I’m here to get my MOTHER,
motherfucker.

CARRIE
(to Wendy and Denny)
Nobody fucking MOVE.

DARRYL
(reaches for his gun)
Fuck you.

Bernie SHOOTS him.
BANG.

His head EXPLODES
in a red mist.

He HITS the floor, THWUMP.
Wendy SCREAMS.

DENNY
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO --

He RACES over
to Darryl’s body.
Reaches for the gun.

Carrie SHOOTS him in the leg.
BANG.

Denny HOWLS.
Wendy SCREAMS.

CARRIE
I said DON’T MOVE.

Bernie RUNS toward the bedroom.
Carrie looks at Wendy.
Points her gun at her.

CARRIE
(nods at Darryl)
Boyfriend or brother?

WENDY
(softly)
Boyfriend.

Denny GRABS Darryl’s gun.
Points it at Carrie.

DENNY
He shot my BROTHER.

Carrie SHOOTS him in the arm.
Denny HOWLS again.

The gun CLUNKS to the floor.
Carrie steps over.
KICKS it away.

CARRIE
Are you fucking RETARDED?
I said DON’T MOVE.

Bernie comes RACING in the room
holding Kitty in his arms.

BERNIE
She’s not responding.
Call nine-one-one.

Carrie whips out her cell.
PUNCHES the number.

BERNIE
(looks at Wendy)
You better fucking hope
she lives --
