Die, Cheerleader

Ah, Sunday. A day of rest. But not for this hard-drinking, chain-smoking, hardboiled crime slut. No-siree. I toil day and night, scouring the underworld for the most despicable, most depraved action for you, my dear readers ... at That Killing Feeling.

Onto today's steaming slab of ultra-violent pulp. In today's joint from LEGS, private eye Carrie Love and homicide dick Bernie Keko fall in the clutches of demented snuff filmmaker Klaus Speer and his trusty sidekick, Felina Bella Donna, the 'dominatrix to the stars.'


INT. HOLLYWOOD HILLS MANSION - LIVING ROOM - DUSK
Klaus and Keko sit across from each other sipping wine.

KLAUS
Laura Lang, yes, I used her in a music video.
The Genitorturers, I think.
(thinks)
No. It was Die Cheerleader. "Splatter."
(chuckles)
That was a good one.

KEKO
Can you remember when you last saw her?

KLAUS
Last I heard she went back to London.
She had a little problem getting off the horsie.

Keko is puzzled. Klaus pantomimes shooting a syringe.
Felina arrives with Carrie. Arms around her prize.

FELINA
Klaus, darling, look what I found.
(licks Carrie’s neck)
Mmmm, kibbles and bits, kibbles and bits.

KEKO
Carrie, what the fuck is going on?

CARRIE
Bernie -- I, ah --

KLAUS
It would appear that she's stumbled
into the arms of one the villains.

Felina cackles. Keko reaches for his gun.

SAMMS (O.C.)
OFFICER! Put your HANDS IN THE AIR!
You're UNDER ARREST!

SAMMS
brandishes a pair of Uzis. Jorel, a steadicam.

SAMMS
C'mon, motherfucker. Gimmee a reason.

Keko raises his hands.

KEKO
You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.
What is this, Halloween?

FELINA
(SNAPS handcuffs on Carrie)
I've got the broad.

CARRIE
Hey!

KLAUS
Gentlemen, I'm so glad you could join us.
(beat)
I always get so excited
on the first day of principal photography.

KEKO
We know all about your little home movies, Speer.
Back up is on the way. You’ll never get away with this.

KLAUS
Mr. Samms, show him what the director thinks of TALENT.

Samms FIRES a round into Keko's thigh, BANG.
Keko falls to the floor. YELPS in pain.
Presses his hands on the wound.

KEKO
You fucking SHOT me!

KLAUS
Get his weapon. And the one in his boot.

Samms takes the guns. Jorel comes in for a tight shot.

KLAUS (CONT'D)
(to Felina)
And how is your sex object?

Felina reaches in Carrie's jacket. Grabs her Glock.

FELINA
Disarmed.
(beat)
And completely disarming.
