Too Late For Peace Talks


Hey there, crime kids. Happy Hump Day. 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 21 of LEGS, Episode Two, bullets fly and blood is spilled when Carrie, Bernie and Meg have their final showdown with Israeli mobster Nuri Hadar and his sons Leron and Tal at Los Angeles International Airport ...


EXT. AIRPORT TERMINAL - DAY
The plane starts to slow down,
but is still heading right for
the giant windows in the terminal building --
and IN SLOW MOTION --

the nose of the plane SMASHES
through the glass as it SCREECHES to a halt,
the metal rims SQUEALING.

ON THE GROUND
Carrie and Bernie’s cars SCREECH
to a stop next to the plane.

The door OPENS,
and a staircase starts descending.

IN THE PLANE
Leron and Tal stand
at the top of the steps, holding Uzis.

See Bernie, Carrie and Meg
get out of their cars.

Start SPRAYING THEM
with MACHINE GUN FIRE.

ON THE TARMAC
Carrie, Bernie and Meg
DUCK behind Bernie’s car.

ON THE STAIRS
Leron and Tal start
walking down the steps,
continuing to SPRAY the cars
with bullets.

The windows EXPLODE.

BEHIND BERNIE’S CAR
Bernie turns to Carrie.

BERNIE
They got us pinned down here.

Carrie looks around.
Sees a baggage handler cart nearby.

CARRIE
I got an idea.
Cover me.

Bernie and Megan nod.

Start RETURNING FIRE,
as Carrie DASHES over to the cart.

Hops on the side away
from the gunfire. Reaches up.

Turns on the engine.
Crouches low, presses down
on the gas pedal with one hand,
grabs the steering wheel with the other --
and drives around the cars and the plane.


She gets to the other side, jumps off.
Ducks under the plane
-- and SHOOTS at the boys in the leg.

NURI AND TAL
Get HIT.
GRAB their thighs.
SCREAM in pain.

BERNIE AND MEG
POP UP from behind the car
and SHOOT them both in the head.

BANG. BANG.
They hit the ground, THWUMP, THWUMP.

NURI stands in the doorway.
Sees this.

Runs back inside the plane.
Carrie comes up from under
and RACES up the stairs after him.

INSIDE THE PLANE
Nuri ducks to the side of the doorway.

And, as Carrie RUNS in,
GRABS her around the neck
in a choke hold.

She tries to pull his arm off,
but he’s too strong.

Her face starts turning red.
She STOMPS on his foot.

His grip loosens a bit.
Takes a big gulp of air and
HEAD BUTTS him from behind,
but this just makes him ANGRIER,
and he YANKS his arm across her neck, HARDER.

She GASPS, struggling to breathe.
Her hands desperately search
for something to use as a weapon.

They find a FIRE EXTINGUISHER,
RIP it off the wall,
and CRACK him on the head with it.

Stunned by the blow,
Nuri RELEASES her.
He staggers a bit.

Carrie breathes in gulps of air,
pulls out her gun.

Nuri raises his.
They both take aim.

NURI
It would appear to be stalemate,
my impetuous one.

CARRIE
Guess it’s too late
for peace talks, huh.

He suddenly gets RIDDLED
with bullets from behind.

His body JERKS like a puppet
in a dance of death --
until he HITS the floor, THWUMP.

Bernie and Meg appear in the doorway,
guns drawn.

Carrie looks at Nuri’s body.
Then at them.

CARRIE
What took you guys so long?

BERNIE
Well, last time I stopped
a guy from killing you,
you gave me shit about it.

MEGAN
I got tired of arguing with him a
bout whether or not
we should come save you.

CARRIE
Wow. I’m really feeling the love --
