Mickey lays on his bed with his hands behind his head.

CAMERA DOLLIES BACK to include the bars of Mickey's cell

door in the f.g. as TWO DEPUTY SHERIFFS ENTER FRAME and

slide it open. The Deputies each carry shotguns and a

sh*t load of chains and shackles.

DEPUTY #1

On your feet! Turn your face to

the wall.

Mickey gets up.

MICKEY:

Now what you're supposed to say

is:
'Five minutes, Mr. Knox.'

O.S. the CELL DOOR SLAMS closed.

CUT TO:

INT. MALLORY'S CELL -CLOSEUP OF MALLORY -DAY

asleep in her bunk. The ECHO of Mickey's CELL DOOR

wakes her with a jolt.

SCAGNETTI (O.S.)

Rise and shine, Mallory!

Mallory springs out of bed, and into a fighting stance.

CAMERA WHIP PANS to Scagnetti, inside her cell, flanked

by two deputies with shotguns. The deputies are Bingham

and Washington.

SCAGNETTI:

Beautiful day for a drive, isn't

it?

CUT TO:

90.

INT. JAIL CORRIDOR -DAY

CLOSEUP of Mallory's bare feet walking in front of

Bingham and Washington's shiny black shoes.

The sound of Mallory's BARE FEET SLAPPING the CONCRETE

floor, along with the CLIP-CLOP-CLIP-CLOP of the deputies'

shoes, reverberates throughout the scene.

Mallory walks slightly ahead of the two shotgun-wielding

deputies, when Scagnetti slips in beside her. He lights

up a cigarette with his Zippo, and takes a long drag.

SCAGNETTI:

It's a long trip to Bakersfield.

Long and hot. Ever been to

Bakersfield?

Mallory looks straight ahead.

SCAGNETTI:

See, I've been there twice. And

I'm not lookin' forward to goin'

back. But I'm in and out. You,

on the other hand, sweetheart, are

gonna spend the rest of your life

there. Now that's what I call

cruel and inhuman punishment.

Mallory shows no emotion, just keeps on walking.

SCAGNETTI:

Course you're not gonna give a

sh*t. 'Cause when the good

doctors get through givin' you

the zap...

(puts his finger next

to his temple,

pantomimes being

electrocuted)

... you won't know where the hell

you are. They'll just put you on

a window sill, and water you every

other day.

Mallory lets out a big yawn.

INT. SUPPLY ROOM -DAY

Wayne stands at the window speaking to Scott, Roger and

Unruly Julie. On the other side of the room, Wurlitzer

and his entourage of deputies are yucking it up, and

occasionally bursting into laughter.

(CONTINUED)

91.

CONTINUED:

WAYNE:

(to his crew)

And when he gets here, it's no

dickin' around time. Make him up,

clip a mike on him, then leave him

alone. I don't want you talking

to him. I don't want you getting

into his face. I want you hiding

behind your gear. You are

invisible.

CAMERA PANS tO the door as two deputies lead Mickey into

the supply room. Mickey is shackled head to toe, it's a

wonder how he can still walk.

WAYNE:

(to his crew)

Okay, break.

Wayne's team disburses.

WURLITZER:

Okay, boys, lets start undoing

him.

Two deputies hold shotguns to Mickey's head, while two

others start unlocking the chains. As they do, Mickey

looks at Wayne.

Wayne approaches Mickey.

MICKEY:

(to Wayne)

Okay now, before we get started

here, there's a few things we have

to get clear about.

WAYNE:

All right, Mickey.

MICKEY:

Let's discuss it when I'm unbound.

CAMERA HOLDS ON Mickey standing still as the two deputies

remove the chains.

INT. HOLDING CELL -DAY

CAMERA IS INSIDE a holding cell FIXED ON the cell door.

The cell door is unlocked, then opened. The two deputies

bring Mallory inside. Scagnetti wanders in, trailing

behind.

(CONTINUED)

92.

CONTINUED:

Bingham pumps his shotgun slide and places the barrel

next to Mallory's head. Washington unlocks the cuffs

around Mallory's wrist.

Mallory's silent.

Scagnetti leans up against the wall, smoking his

cigarette.

BINGHAM:

Turn around and face the wall!

Mallory does.

Binghim and Washington move to the door.

SCAGNETTI:

Wait outside for a second, fellas.

BINGHAM:

We're not supposed -SCAGNETTI

Don't worry about it.

Bingham and Washington move outside.

Scagnetti takes out his gun and tosses it to Washington.

Before they can protest, Scagnetti closes the door.

Mallory stands in the middle of the cell, motionless,

her back to him.

Scagnetti walks up behind her.

Mallory doesn't move.

SCAGNETTI:

Want a smoke?

Mallory's steel eyes glare at Scagnetti.

SCAGNETTI:

C'mon, I already lit one for you.

I know you smoke.

Mallory doesn't respond. Scagnetti takes the cigarette

from his mouth puts it between Mallory's lips. HOLD ON

CLOSEUP of Mallory.

SCAGNETTI:

I was reading the file on you.

You know what it said?

(MORE)

(CONTINUED)

93.

CONTINUED:

SCAGNETTI (CONT'D)

It said during your trial,

whenever they put you on the

stand, no matter what they asked,

your answer was always the same...

'I love Mickey.' It also says

that when they gave you a

polygraph, 'I love Mickey' was

the only thing you said that

registered as the truth.

Scagnetti appears AT the SIDE OF FRAME next to Mallory.

SCAGNETTI:

Who are you supposed to be?

Squeaky Fromme? Is that it? Is

Mickey your Charles Manson? Is

Mickey Jesus? Is that the

attraction? Or does he just got

a big dick?

Scagnetti changes to Mallory's other ear.

SCAGNETTI:

That's it, isn't it? Mickey's got

a big donkey dick.

Scagnetti presses closer.

SCAGNETTI:

Can you remember the last time you

f***ed? Huh? What I want you to

do is close your eyes and

remember... remember the last time

ol' Mickey gave you the high hard

one. Are ya thinkin' about it?

Good. Remember it. Don't ever

forget it cause it ain't never

gonna happen again. Cause when

they get through with all that

electroshock sh*t they got lined

up for you two, Mick's dick ain't

gonna be worth sh*t.

Mallory spits the lit cigarette into Scagnetti'e face.

Scagnetti spins her around and slaps her.

SCAGNETTI:

Look. You're gonna sit here for a

couple hours while I finish up the

arrangements. The reason they

picked me to be your chaperone is

they know I won't hesitate to put

a bullet in you.

(CONTINUED)

94.

CONTINUED:

Scagnetti has Mallory clutched tightly by her shoulders.

SCAGNETTI:

So, during our journey, if any

wild hairs spring up on your ass,

you'd better slap a muzzle on 'em!

F*** with me, b*tch, even a little

bit, you're gonna get accidentally

shot! Comprende?

Mallory looks at him for a moment, then gives him a

massive head butt. As we hear the CRACKING of his NOSE,

Scagnetti lets out a horrible scream.

EXT. HOLDING CELL -DAY

Bingham and Washington fumble with the keys to open the

cell door.

INT. HOLDING CELL -DAY

Bingham and Washington burst through the door to find

Scagnetti face down on the ground.

Mallory's standing, her foot pressed against the middle

of Scagnetti's back, pulling his arms behind him trying

to break his back. His body is bending like a branch,

and he's screaming.
