On The Rebound And Gagged

Hey there, crime kids. Happy Black Friday. 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 7 of LEGS, Episode 3, kidnapping victim Kitty Keko has a few choice words to say to her trailer trash captors, so they 'make her shut up.' Meanwhile, private eye Carrie Love arrives at 'command central' to try and solve the case ... which just happens to be her ex-lover's home ...


INT. DARRYL’S TRAILER HOME - DENNY’S BEDROOM - DAY
Tiny. Cramped. Clothing strewn everywhere.
Empty pizza boxes. Beer cans.

KITTY KEKO (60’s),
surprisingly attractive,
if a bit puffy --
lies on the bed staring at her captors,
wrists tied to the bed posts.

Darryl holds a gun on her.
Wendy’s behind him in the doorway.

Denny angrily picks up
his clothes from the floor.
Puts them in a laundry basket.

DENNY
This is stupid.
I don’t see why I have to --

DARRYL
Shut up, Denny.
Kitty is our guest,
and I want her to be
as comfortable as possible.

KITTY
My son is gonna
fucking kill you,
you little shit.

DARRYL
Now is that any way
to talk to your host?

KITTY
Fuck you, trailer trash.
You’re not going
to get away this.
Eat shit and DIE.

DARRYL
Such language
for an old lady.
(turns, to Wendy)
I tried being nice, right?

WENDY
Yeah.

DARRYL
Denny, shove a sock
in her mouth, will ya?

Denny grins.
Picks a stained old sock
up off the floor.

KITTY
NO, PLEASE.

He comes over to her.
Holds it up.

Smells it.
Makes a face.

DENNY
Mmm. Nice and ripe --
(makes a jerking off motion)
And crunchy.

KITTY
No, please.
I’ll be quiet.
promise.

DARRYL
Hurry up.
Stop fucking around.

Denny starts to stuff
the sock in her mouth,
and Kitty KNEES him
in the groin, HARD.

Denny REELS BACK,
CRIES OUT in pain.

DARRYL
Fucking BITCH.

He RUSHES over,
PISTOL-WHIPS her, CRACK.

She goes out like a light.
A big GASH on her temple
starts bleeding.

DARRYL
That’ll teach you
to hurt my brother.

Denny sits on the floor,
rocking back and forth,
holding his nuts.

Eyes glassy.
Face red.

DARRYL
Are you okay?

DENNY
NO.

WENDY
I’ll go get a bandage.
(looks at Denny)
And some ice --

She leaves.
Denny looks at Darryl.
Eyes pleading.

DENNY
You gotta make her PAY.

Darryl starts
unbuckling his belt.
Unzipping his fly.

DARRYL
Oh, I’m gonna
make her pay, alright --
(beat)
The HARD way.

EXT. MEG’S HOUSE - DAY
A simple, small house
on a tree-lined street.

On the corner, so the yard
is a little larger than the others.

CARRIE (V.O.)
Ah, the scene of the crime.
Where Meg and I had more than a few
nights of unbridled passion.
Shame it didn’t last.
I believe the phrase
is ‘on the rebound.’
(beat)
Or in my case,
‘on the rebound and gagged' --
