INT. INTERROGATION ROOM - NIGHT
The water has reached the girl’s necks.
Pretty soon they’re gonna have to
start treading water.

CHERRY
I don’t CARE if it’s DANGEROUS.
Let’s fucking DO IT.

APRIL
Okay.
(beat)
One last thing.
In case we -- don’t make it out of this --
I just want you to know that
I’m proud to have you as a sister.
(beat)
You can really kick ass.

CHERRY
(smiles, teary-eyed)
You, too -- sis.
(beat)
I mean -- I’m proud, too.

They hug.
April pulls away.
Holds up a GRENADE.

APRIL
Okay -- here’s the plan.
It explodes in three seconds.
We’re gonna go to the
wall opposite the window.
I’m gonna pull the pin
and count ONE, TWO --
and then THROW IT at the window --
then we dive down to the bottom
and hold our breath.
The water might just
shield us from the blast.

CHERRY
Let’s DO IT.

APRIL
Okay.

They slog through the water
to the opposite wall.

April holds up the grenade.
Looks at Cherry, who nods --

April PULLS THE PIN.

APRIL
ONE, TWO --

And HURLS it at the window.
They DIVE.

UNDER WATER
The girls swim to the bottom.

THE WINDOW
EXPLODES in a million pieces.

Torrents of water start
GUSHING through the opening.

UNDER WATER
The explosion ROCKS
the girls against the wall. OOF.

INT. INTELLIGENCE OFFICE - AT THAT MOMENT
A wave of water CRASHES
into Sledge’s office.

SLEDGE
What the fuck?

He JUMPS up on his desk.
Pulls out his Browning 9mm.

APRIL AND CHERRY
Appear in the doorway.
Wet. Weapons aimed.

APRIL
Drop the gun, Father.
We’re taking you in.

Sledge looks at the girls.
Tears in his eyes.

SLEDGE
You girls really make me proud.

He puts the gun in his mouth.
And BLOWS HIS HEAD OFF -- BANG.

Brains and blood SPRAY
the window behind him.

His body CRUMPLES
to a heap on the desk.

CHERRY
Holy shit.

APRIL
I know.

CHERRY
Holy shit.

APRIL
I know.
(beat)
Holy shit.

DONNER
Appears in the doorway.

DONNER
What the -- ?

Cherry FLIPS UP her Glock and
BLASTS Donner in the forehead.

Red dot like a third eye.
She FALLS OVER, THUMP.

APRIL
Nice shot.

CHERRY
Thanks. I’m really starting
to groove on this spy shit.

APRIL
Hey. All in the family.

EXT./INT. MINI COOPER - MOVING - MOMENTS LATER
The girls cruise down Hollywood Boulevard.
Pass Grauman’s Chinese Theater,
the wind whipping their hair.

CHERRY
Goddammit.
My adrenaline is still pumping.

APRIL
Kinda cool, huh.
Welcome to the club.

CHERRY
Does Interpol have any openings?

APRIL
Are you kidding?
When I tell them I have a twin,
they’ll shit bricks.
You’re In Like Flynt, Agent Nation.

CHERRY
Agent Nation.
I like the sound of that.
Got a nice ring to it.
(beat)
So what are you gonna do
with your half-million?

APRIL
My --

CHERRY
Half of the money.
In the attache case.
It’s in the trunk.

April shoots her a look. Beams.

APRIL
Let’s go grab some breakfast.
My treat. I’m fucking starving.
