Happy Monday, crime slicksters. Did you have a great weak-end? Feeling the holiday spirit ... of evil? Ready to get back into the hardboiled crime groove? Then get your winter wonderland asses over to the coolest joint in cyberspace ... at That Killing Feeling.Onto today's joint from LITTLE GIRL BLUE, where the action is kicked up a notch ...
It's complete mayhem at private eye Carrie Love's mother's house, where she and her mother Margo, her brother Seth, college co-ed Blue Wonder and Carrie's ex homicide detective Bernie Keko are fending off mobster Tolly Chill and his goons, who are trying a little 'Christmas Eve home invasion.' Shots are fired, blood flows, and there's just no time for eggnog ...
EXT. BEVERLY HILLS MANSION -NIGHT
Tolly climbs ladder. Gets near the window.
Stops. Looks down at Porkpie.
TOLLY
Wait a minute.
PORKPIE
What?
TOLLY
Why don’t we leave them up there --
and then you and I go in ANOTHER window?
PORKPIE
That, boss -- is why you’re the boss.
Fuckin’ brilliant.
They start climbing back down.
Aldo sticks his head out the window.
Sees them.
ALDO
Hey, where are you guys goin’?
TOLLY
(loud whisper)
You guys stay up there, hold ‘em off for a bit.
Make ‘em think you’re trapped in there.
We’re gonna go in through another window.
ALDO
That’s fucking brilliant.
PORKPIE
That’s what I said.
ALDO
Mick got one in the leg,
but it’s only a flesh wound.
We’ll hold ‘em off for a while.
TOLLY
Tell Mick to hang tight.
Reinforcements are coming.
Aldo nods. Goes back in.
Tolly starts climbing back down.
TOLLY (CONT’D)
Gonna get that fucking bitch.
NO ONE gets away with disrespecting Tolly Chill.
IN THE HALLWAY
Eva pokes her head out of the door.
EVA
The shooting stopped.
CARRIE
They’ve barricaded themselves IN there.
Go down and tell everyone what’s going on.
Make sure my mom’s okay,
then come back up and join us.
This isn’t over yet.
EVA
Will do.
She dashes toward the stairs.
BERNIE
So what do we do now?
CARRIE
We wait them out.
Come up with a plan.
(thinks)
Oh shit, I just remembered.
BERNIE
What?
CARRIE
The connecting bathroom.
BERNIE
Shit, that’s right.
Between your room --
CARRIE
And the guest room, yeah.
The scene of our crimes.
Come on, let’s go check it out.
IN THE STUDY
The door opens.
Layla SHOOTS in.
Closes it behind her.
SETH
Are you okay?
LAYLA
I stayed in the bathroom.
BLUE
It’s quiet now.
Maybe they got them.
SETH
NO --
BLUE
I meant maybe Carrie and Bernie got THEM.
The door OPENS. In comes Eva.
EVA
It’s okay, everyone.
Carrie and Bernie have the bad men trapped in her room.
SETH
She DOES?
BLUE
Holy SHIT.
Margo opens her eyes, groggy.
Looks at Eva.
EVA
(brightly)
Margo. How are you feeling?
MARGO
What the fuck are you doing with my rifle?
INT. CARRIE’S BEDROOM - AT THAT MOMENT
Aldo helps Mick tie a tourniquet around his leg. TIGHT.
MICK
So what now.
ALDO
There’s another door.
Let’s check it out.
MICK
But boss said to sit tight.
ALDO
And if he told you to jump off a bridge, would you?
MICK
Fuck you. At least we’re warm.
I say we stay here.
ALDO
My point IS, dummy --
that if there’s another door,
they could come IN.
MICK
Oh. Right.
SPLIT SCREEN WITH:
IN THE ADJOINING ROOM
Carrie and Bernie walk in.
Tip-toe over to the connecting door
into where Mick and Aldo are. Listen.
IN CARRIE’S ROOM
Mick and Aldo go to the same door. Listen.
Mick looks at Aldo. Shrugs.
Aldo screws his face up.
He’s about to sneeze.
Mick CLAMPS his hand on Aldo’s mouth.
But it’s no good.
He let’s a LOUD ONE RIP --
ALDO
A-CHOOO!
IN THE ADJOINING ROOM
Carrie and Bernie OPEN FIRE.
BANG. BANG. BANG. BANG. BANG.
IN CARRIE’S ROOM
Aldo gets HIT in the chest.
Falls to the floor, THWUMP.
Mick ROLLS away to the side.
Starts PUMPING SHOTS at the door.
BANG. BANG. BANG. BANG. BANG.
IN THE ADJOINING ROOM
Carrie and Bernie JUMP on either side of the door.
CARRIE
(whispers)
I got one of ‘em.
You hear that ‘thump?’
BERNIE
What about the other one.
CARRIE
Let’s wait and find out.
IN CARRIE’S ROOM
Mick sits on the floor, under the window.
Holds his right hand.
It’s bleeding pretty bad.
MICK
God-DAMMit.
He goes to the bed.
Pulls off a pillow case.
RIPS off a strip of fabric.
Starts winding it around his hand.
MICK (CONT’D)
Fucking BITCH is gonna PAY.
