Leave The Driving To Us

Hey there, crime kids. Happy Monday. 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 19 of LEGS, Episode Two, it's 'the mother of all car chases' when Carrie, Bernie and Meg, along with a horde of cops cars, chase Israeli mobster Nuri Hadar and his sons Tal and Leron in their Hummer through the marina ...


EXT. SPEEDWAY - DAY
The Hummer ROARS north,
the others behind it, catching up.

IN THE PATROL CAR
Mike drives like a maniac.
Clifford grabs the radio.

CLIFFORD
This is unit One-Adam-Twenty-Three.
We’re in pursuit of kidnapping suspects
travelling in a yellow Hummer
heading north on Speedway.
Send all available units.

IN THE HUMMER
Tal drives.
Leron rides shotgun.
Nuri leans forward.

NURI
(to Leron)
Call Shelly at airport.
Tell him to have jet ready.

LERON
(pulls out cell phone)
You got it, pop.
(dials number, listens)
Shelly? It’s Tal --
(listens)
Yeah, we’re on our way to airport.
We need plane ready --
(listens)
I know is short notice --
(listens)
TWO Asian chicks? Damn.

AERIAL POV
The Hummer ROARS down the street,
weaving through traffic,
followed by the patrol car,
Carrie’s Porsche and Bernie’s Crown Vic.

It turns right at a side street
going south --

EXT. OCEAN STREET - DAY
The monster-car barrels
down the narrow street.

Up ahead, we see a small, steep, narrow,
one-lane bridge that curves over
the first of the four remaining
Venice canals.

IN CARRIE’S CAR
Carrie turns to Megan.
Shakes her head in disbelief.

CARRIE
He’s going over the fucking CANALS --

THE HUMMER
Gets to the first bridge.
An old, VW Bug ahead of them
chugs up to the top, engine whining.
The Hummer ROARS up it.

IN THE HUMMER
Tal keeps driving,
big smile on his face.

NURI
Idiot. I TOLD you
we shouldn’t go this way.

TAL
No problem. Watch this --

THE VW BUG
Tries to pull to the side to make room,
and the Hummer SMASHES into
the left rear fender, BANG --
and the Bug goes FLYING
in the air and SPLASHES
in the canal.

THE HUMMER
Drives down the other side of the bridge.
Another car approaches, sees it,
CAREENS into the side alley.

THE PATROL CAR
FLIES up the bridge --
briefly soars in the air --
and HITS the pavement,
following the Hummer.

SIDE POV
Carrie’s Porsche FLIES OVER the bridge,
BANGS on the pavement on the other side,
as does Bernie’s Crown Vic.

IN BERNIE’S CAR
Bernie WINCES as the car
hits the road. BANG.

BERNIE
Asshole’s gonna pay for the damages.

IN CARRIE’S CAR
She YELLS OUT as the car
BANGS on the pavement.

CARRIE
WHOO-HOO.
Leave the driving to US.

AERIAL POV
The vehicles FLY the second bridge,
PEDESTRIANS and BICYCLISTS LEAPING
out of the way --
then the third bridge.

EXT. VIA MARINA - DAY
A boulevard that twists and turns
around the marina.

The Hummer cruises around the curves,
followed by the gang.

IN THE HUMMER
Nuri angrily shakes his fist at Tal.

NURI
They’re still behind us.
Can’t you LOSE them?

TAL
Not to worry. I have idea.

LERON
You TRYING to scare us?

EXT. VIA MARINA - DAY
The Hummer nears an intersection
marked BIKE CROSSING.

It turns right onto a narrow BIKE PATH
that snakes around the marina boat slips.

The squad car follows them,
then Carrie’s car,
then Bernie’s Crown Vic.

EXT. MARINA BIKE PATH - DAY
The Hummer BARRELS down the bike path.
Up ahead, a pair of CYCLISTS leisurely pedal.

Tal HONKS his horn.

They turn and look,
DART off the path.

The squad car follows.
Then Carrie’s Porsche.

Then Bernie’s car,
bringing up the rear.

EXT. FISHERMAN’S WHARF - DAY
A series of tacky, touristy shops and restaurants
at the south end of the marina.
The vehicles pass by in a blur.

EXT. PLAYA DEL REY - BIKE PATH - DAY
The Hummer takes the path to the
other side of the channel into Playa del Rey,
the other vehicles in hot pursuit.

EXT. PLAYA DEL REY - BIKE PATH - DAY
The vehicles FLY down the narrow strip
heading toward the shore,
PLOWING THROUGH a group of BICYCLISTS --

until they reach an intersection
where it meets the beach bike path
in the sand going south.

The Hummer makes the turn and
ROARS down the bike path.

The other vehicles SCREECH to a halt.
Everyone JUMPS out,
watches the Hummer drive away.

BERNIE
God-DAMMIT.

MIKE
(cell rings, answers it)
Yeah.
(listens)
No shit.
(to the group)
Just got word that Flowers
died in the hospital.
They’re now wanted for murder.

BERNIE
Great. But we don’t know
where the fuck they’re GOING.

CARRIE
I know where they’re going.

BERNIE
Were you planning on
sharing it with us?

Carrie points at a plane
taking off overhead to the south.

CARRIE
Airport.

Everybody exchange glances.
RACES over to their vehicles. JUMPS in.

TURNS AROUND and TAKES OFF --
just as a HOARD OF SQUAD CARS arrive.
