The construction worker looks behind him and sees the swarm
of armed 8-11 year olds gaining on him. He looks back to his
front just as...
The children cheer and begin to slow their war chase into a
victory march.
CHILDREN
Woohoo!
CONSTRUCTION WORKER
No... please.
TALL GIRL
Attack!
2.
CONSTRUCTION WORKER
AHHHHH!
FADE TO BLACK.
DARRELL
Yeah.
ANDY
Hey Chief...
DARRELL
What do you want Andy.
ANDY
Um... we found a body.
DARRELL
We’re in Detroit so... yeah we’re
going to be finding a lot of those.
ANDY
Right, but sir... this one is
different.
DARRELL
What do you mean?
3.
ANDY
I think you may want to come down
to the crime scene.
DARRELL
Andy, I am very busy today and
don’t have time -
DARRELL (CONT’D)
FUCK!
DARRELL (CONT’D)
Alright, fuck it. Let’s take a
look.
ANDY
So it’s like Tetris?
DARRELL
No, it’s not like fuckin’ Tetris.
Tetris is a Soviet Union era pile
of shit designed for Autistics to
see who’s more autistic. Candy
Crush is an ever changing puzzle.
ANDY
Oh, so it’s like Sudoku.
DARRELL
What the hell is wrong with you?
Darrell ducks under the yellow crime scene tape and Andy
follows behind.
ANDY
See, not your usual body.
4.
DARRELL
I’ll say. Who found it?
ANDY
Construction crew down the block
called it in. Apparently this guy -
ANDY (CONT’D)
Steven Fogle took his lunch break a
little too long. Someone came to
look for him. Found this.
Darrell looks oddly unshaken. This man must see a lot of dead
bodies.
DARRELL
So the limbs I get. Good way for
gangs to send a message. Clean cuts
too, looks like some kind of sharp
blade. Katana maybe. Do we have any
Yakuza members in the area?
ANDY
I don’t think...
DARRELL
Tell the gang unit to look out for
Japanese men on motorcycles.
ANDY
Um... Ok sir.
DARRELL
But, see now what I don’t get is
the bite marks. Too small to be
human. We don’t have any wolves in
the area. Maybe stray dogs?
ANDY
That seems like the most
reasonable, but how would dogs cut
limbs off?
DARRELL
Obviously dogs didn’t cut the dudes
arms and legs off! A person did it
then a dog came by and had a snack.
ANDY
Oh, I see where you’re going boss.
5.
DARRELL
Or maybe dogs killed the guy and
then someone stole the limbs after.
ANDY
Why would someone steal limbs?
DARRELL
Why do people like to get pissed
on? Cause people are fuckin’ weird
Andy! Think about it, some creep
stumbles upon a man murdered by
stray dogs. He thinks to himself,
“Finally the day has come! I get to
steal a pair of arms and legs from
a dead body so I can do weird sex
stuff with them”. There are a lot
of freaks in this world.
ANDY
Oh, ok... that could have happened.
DARRELL
Exactly, could have happened. I’m
not saying it did. I’m just
spitballing. Could be the yakuza,
could be a limb fetish guy. I’m
brain storming.
ANDY
It could have been satanists.
DARRELL
Now why would satanists steal a
man’s limbs and get some animal to
eat a man’s torso?
ANDY
...Because they’re evil.
DARRELL
Satanist burns stuff you dumbass.
ANDY
Oh.
DARRELL
What is this like the 13th, 14th
murder today?
6.
ANDY
It’s the 19th reported so far, but
we’ve been getting calls about
gunshots downtown.
DARRELL
Man, what has this city come to.
INVESTIGATOR (O.S.)
I’ve got blood!
DARRELL
How much?
INVESTIGATOR
Just a streak, but look.
DARRELL
Bingo.
Darrell and Andy pull out their guns and flashlights and head
into the factory.
ANDY
What was that?
DARRELL
I’m guessing the perp... Police!
Show yourself!
Silence.
7.
ANDY
Fuck! I don’t like this darkness
shit! Let’s call for back up.
DARRELL
No time. We’re already here. Plus
We got the guns, This dumb fuck
brought a katana to a gun fight.
DARRELL (CONT’D)
Up here.
The two men slowly make their way up the stairs. Andy begins
to sniff.
ANDY
You smell that?
DARRELL
Yeah, fuck is that?
ANDY
Smells like BBQ.
The blood stains continue down the upstairs hallway and into
an empty room.
DARRELL
Police! We will shoot, show
yourself!
Silence.
ANDY
Look!
More blood stains lead out to the next room, which has a
blown out wall letting the light in. Darrell and Andy put
away their flashlights and enter the room to find...
ANDY (CONT’D)
Ahhh! I’m gonna be sick!
DARRELL
Well, we found one leg.
8.
CLAY
Shit.
The front door opens and HELLEN ERIKSON, Clay’s mother and
owner of the home, enters carrying a bag of groceries.
HELLEN
Are you smoking weed again!
CLAY
No.
HELLEN
It’s a god damn box hot in here!
CLAY
Ha-ha! It’s called a hot box mom.
HELLEN
I don’t give a fuck what it’s
called! Stop smoking weed in my
house.
CLAY
Sorry.
NEWS ANCHOR
Reports are coming in of a gruesome
murder that took place earlier
today. Here is what chief of police
Darrell Hicks had to say about it.
DARRELL
We are on the hunt for the killer
of a Steven Fogle Who was found
with his limbs dismembered. We also
have reason to believe the
perpetrator engaged in cannibalism.
DARRELL (CONT’D)
That is all we have at this time.
Thank you.
NEWS ANCHOR
The photographs of the scene are
unfortunately too graphic to show
here, but we uploaded high
resolution versions of them to our
website if you would like to see
them. Here’s Lance with the
weather.
LANCE
Hi, I’m lance and here’s the
weather!
CLAY
Holy fuck!
HELLEN
What is it!
CLAY
Look at these photos!
Hellen comes over from the kitchen and leans over the couch.
HELLEN
What the fuck! Why would you show
me that you sick fuck!
CLAY
I’m letting you know there is some
creep eating people out there! I’m
warning you!
HELLEN
Thanks for the heads up, now I can
walk into work tonight knowing I
might get eaten.
CLAY
Don’t shoot the messenger!
10.
Darrell and Andy stand over the charred and mostly eaten leg.
DARRELL
I just don’t get why he would cook
it?
ANDY
Why? We all cook out meat, it
tastes better.
DARRELL
Right, but then why did he eat the
torso raw?
ANDY
Maybe it’s like an appetizer before
the main course. You know like
having some carpaccio before your
ribeye.
DARRELL
I guess. And what’s up with his
mouth? Those were some of the
smallest bite marks I’ve ever
scene.
ANDY
Maybe, he’s a dwarf.
DARRELL
No, dwarfs have normal sized heads
and stumpy bodies.
ANDY
Right, but isn’t there the other
kind of dwarf that is small all
over?
DARRELL
You know what, I think I have seen
something like that on TLC... I
really need to catch up on TLC I
DVR almost every -
The CORONER enters the lab and approaches Andy and Darrell.
DARRELL (CONT’D)
So what do we got?
11.
CORONER
Well, it looks like at least 15
pounds of muscle is missing on the
leg.
ANDY
Damn!
CORONER
Not to mention a good 20 pounds on
the torso.
DARRELL
35 pounds of meat. This sicko was
hungry.
CORONER
Sickos.
DARRELL
What?
CORONER
It’s not physically possible to eat
35 pounds of raw meat. Unless this
guy spit it up and ate more...
you’re looking at more than one
cannibal. My guess, at least 4.
ANDY
What the fuck!
Andy storms out of the lab. Darrell and the Corner watch.
DARRELL
Did you notice the bite marks?
CORONER
Yeah, very small. Probably looking
for a small man.
DARRELL
Like a midget?
CORONER
I mean... unless it was children.
Yeah, I’d say it’s someone with a
very small jaw.
DARRELL
Hmm.
12.
A crappy sedan pulls up to the curb and shuts off the engine.
The street is vacant, with an erie vibe.
As she makes her way along the sidewalk, she takes a left
down an alley way. An extremely creepy alley way that no one
would ever venture down unless they had to.
HELLEN
He... Hello?
The silhouette of a small head peaks out over the trash can,
yellow eyes can be seen.
Hellen darts to a door along the alley way and bangs on it.
HELLEN (CONT’D)
Open up! Open up!
Hellen looks back and the yellow eyes are still on her. The
silhouette looks as if it’s licking it’s lips when...
The door opens and Hellen bursts in. Slamming the door behind
her.
MRS. CHANG
Why you late!
HELLEN
3 minutes.
MRS. CHANG
I don’t care. You late again, you
done. Lots of women need job!
13.
HELLEN
You’re right... I’m sorry Mrs.
Chang.
MRS. CHANG
Ey ya.
CUT TO:
HELLEN
Anna.
ANNA
Yeah.
HELLEN
Did you see the raccoon in the
alley when you came in?
ANNA
A raccoon?
HELLEN
Yeah, at least I think it was a
raccoon, could have been a dog or a
coyote or something. It was eating
out of the trash. Scared me half to
death.
ANNA
I didn’t see anything.
HELLEN
Oh, well keep your eyes out. Those
things have rabies.
ANNA
Will do.
Mrs. Chang enters the room. Both women put their heads down.
Mrs. Chang circles the group of towel folding women,
examining the towels, then leaves.
14.
ANNA (CONT’D)
Hey, speaking of keeping your eyes
out. Did you see the thing about
the cannibal?
HELLEN
Oh my god! Clay showed me the
picture of the body..
ANNA
Crazy right? People are losing it
around here. Gangsters, addicts,
murderers and thieves. Now people
are fucking eating each other. If I
had just a little money I would be
the fuck out of here I can tell you
that.
HELLEN
Oh yeah, where’d you go?
ANNA
Thailand.
HELLEN
Thailand?
ANNA
Yeah, the Mexico of Asia.
HELLEN
Why the fuck do you want to go to
Thailand?
ANNA
I mean America’s fucked. Can’t get
a job anywhere. Thailand is
affordable and has good weather.
Plus I really like Pad Thai.
HELLEN
Well I can’t argue with you there.
Pad Thai is the fucking shit. But,
I have hope for the U.S. I heard a
bailout is co -
ANNA
There is no fucking way they are
going to bail out the auto industry
again!
HELLEN
I don’t see why, they did in back
in 2013.
15.
ANNA
Yeah, 16 years ago, before we
tripled our national debt. This
country is fucked. Thailand is the
spot.
HELLEN
I guess I probably would like
Thailand. Course I have to deal
with my pothead son. Can’t bring
him anywhere...
DYLAN
That was epic bro!
TANNER
I bet I could do it with two beers
and a bigger rip.
DYLAN
Shut the fuck up Tanner. You’re a
little bitch. Stop trying to
outshine everyone.
TANNER
Watch me...
CLAY
So did the girls reply?
DYLAN
Let me check.
DYLAN (CONT’D)
Um... No.
CLAY
Dammit. I thought you said they
were down to party!
16.
DYLAN
I asked them if they like to party
and they said they did. I never
told you they were down to party.
CLAY
Whatever man. Just get them over
here. I wanna fuck!
CLAY humps the couch pillow. Tanner comes back with two
beers.
TANNER
Ha-ha! What the hell are you doing
creep?
DYLAN
Tanner! Close you’re pussy ass
mouth you gay virgin.
TANNER
So am I gay or am I a virgin?
DYLAN
Both! You’re gay and don’t get any
dick!
TANNER
Whatever man.
DYLAN
It’s them!
CLAY
What’d they say?
DYLAN
Hey, we are leaving Jenny’s house
now. What’s the address?
CLAY
Fuck yeah!
DYLAN
Man, I’m so pumped. These girls are
hot as fuck.
CLAY
I call the hottest.
COUGH! Tanner chokes on his first beer and coughs up the rest
of the bong hit.
DYLAN
Ha-ha! Is that how you choke on
your boyfriends dick!
TANNER
I thought you said I don’t get any
dick?
DYLAN
Clay since you called dibs you can
have Jenny. Her tits to ass ratio
is literally retarded. I will get
Amanda. Face is a little jacked,
but that is what light switches are
for. And that leaves Chelsea AKA
the fat one for gay boy over here.
TANNER
Have you cleared this with the
girls?
DYLAN
Tanner if you wanted a hot girl you
should have called one like Clay
was smart enough to do. Plus since
you are the youngest you get the
fat chick. End of story.
TANNER
How old are the girls?
DYLAN
18. I checked.
TANNER
Wait so they’re my age!
DYLAN
What’s your point?
18.
TANNER
You guys are 23, isn’t that a
little old to be letting 18 year
olds drink with you?
DYLAN
We let you drink with us, well Clay
does. Still not sure why...
CLAY
He’s my buddy.
DYLAN
Clay I love you, but I don’t get
what you see in this midget.
TANNER
I’m your same height.
DYLAN
I am 5’8”! You are clearly 5’7”!
TANNER
Whatever.
DYLAN
And by the way it is not weird for
men and women to be 5 years apart.
It’s totally normal.
CLAY
It is a little weird.
TANNER
Yeah.
CLAY
But, one the other hand I really
want to fuck and it’s not illegal
or anything so...
TANNER
I get it man.
CLAY
Thanks buddy.
Tanner and Clay fist bump and Dylan gives a resentful look.
DYLAN
They’ll be here in 15 minutes.
19.
The old man adjusts his vision and focuses on the small
hooded figure. We can now see the figure is no more than 4
and a half feet tall and is wearing and oversized hooded ski
jacket.
OLD MAN
Who... Who’s there?
The old man works to sober up just as the figure reaches the
light for us to see that it is...
YOUNG GIRL
Oh, I’m not alone.
WHAM! From the other side of the old man comes a machete that
completely severs his right leg mid thigh.
The young girl pulls out a cleaver and begins chopping away
at the left leg. Her strength limits her slicing depth, but
the now in shock opioid induced old man cannot fight back and
the young girl slowly, but surely makes her way through the
leg.
20.
The now bloodied young girl and her machete accomplice each
drag a leg into the darkness.
AMANDA
I’m getting a headache.
CHELSEA
Fight through it, you’ll get used
to it.
AMANDA
Screw it.
AMANDA (CONT’D)
When it comes to putting in effort,
I don’t think picking up smoking is
enough of a reward.
CHELSEA
There’s a lot of benefits.
AMANDA
Name one.
CHELSEA
Smoking reduces your chances of a
knee replacement by 80 percent.
AMANDA
What? How?
CHELSEA
Smokers aren’t known for running
long distance.
DING! Someone exits the store. It’s JENNY. Dylan was right,
she is the hottest.
AMANDA
Did you get ‘em?
21.
JENNY
Yeah.
AMANDA
You sure these are the right ones?
JENNY
They’re condoms. There’s only one
kind.
AMANDA
No, what if we need extra large
condoms?
CHELSEA
Ha-ha!
AMANDA
What’s so funny?
CHELSEA
You really think 23 year old guys
inviting high school girls over to
their moms house have big dicks?
JENNY
That is a good point... Maybe I
should get some small condoms just
in case.
AMANDA
No! I’m sure Dylan has a perfectly
normal sized penis.
CHELSEA
Ha-ha!
AMANDA
What now?
CHELSEA
I hooked up with Dylan at Corey’s
party.
AMANDA
Yeah, we all know you’re not a
virgin anymore. Stop rubbing it in.
I’m working on it!
CHELSEA
All I’m saying is Dylan has a tiny
penis.
22.
AMANDA
Or maybe you just have a gaping
vagina!
AMANDA (CONT’D)
Uhhh!... Just go get the small
condoms.
CHELSEA
Extra-small if they have them!
DYLAN (O.S.)
Ah, Fuck!
CLAY
What happened?
DYLAN (O.S.)
I cut my balls!
CLAY
Did you use the clippers on your
scrot?
DYLAN (O.S.)
...Yeah.
CLAY
That was a poor decision.
DYLAN
It’s cool. I’ll tell Amanda it was
a snake bite. I’ll ask her to suck
the venom out. Ha-ha!
Dylan takes a big chug of his beer and sits down on the
couch.
CLAY
Man, I’m kind of nervous. What if
Jenny isn’t into me?
23.
DYLAN
Relax, just do the trick I taught
you. She will be slobing on your
knob in no time. Trust me I know
women.
TANNER
Haven’t you only had sex with one
girl?
DYLAN
Yeah, but I’ve been blown hundreds
of times by many beautiful women.
TANNER
...but the only girl you have
managed to have sex with was a
drunk 18 year old who you call “the
fat one”?
DYLAN
Maybe I just prefer blowjobs!
TANNER
What?
KNOCK KNOCK!
DYLAN
They’re here. Shut up about this
stuff.
Clay gets up and opens the door. Jenny, Amanda and Chelsea
stand on the front porch.
CLAY
Hey What’s up I’m Clay!
CLAY (CONT’D)
C’mon in we’re just chilling in
here.
All the girls shuffle into the living room. Beer cans and
chip bags riddle the coffee table.
CLAY (CONT’D)
I think you all know Dylan.
DYLAN
Sup ladies.
24.
CHELSEA
Hey, Dylan.
DYLAN
Hi.
DYLAN (CONT’D)
Amanda, you’re looking nice tonight
is that real leather?
AMANDA
Oh... he-he. Thank. No, it’s
pleather.
DYLAN
Well, I love it. Wanna beer?
AMANDA
Sure.
DYLAN
Well come sit over here! I don’t
bite.
AMANDA
Oh, Ok.
Amanda goes and sits next to Dylan who promptly puts his arm
around her.
CLAY
So you’re Chelsea...
CHELSEA
Yep.
CLAY
And... Jenny?
JENNY
Thats me.
CLAY
Awesome. Well you guys wanna do
some shots?
CHELSEA JENNY
Yes! I guess so...
CLAY
Great! Hey Tanner you wanna do some
shots?
25.
TANNER
I’m good. I’m gonna get stoned and
eat chips.
CLAY
Uh, ok bro... this way ladies.
Clay leads Chelsea and Jenny into the Kitchen and grabs 3
shot glasses.
JENNY
Who was that guy over there?
CLAY
Oh, that’s Tanner.
CHELSEA
Does he go to Forrest Park high?
CLAY
Yeah, I think so.
JENNY
That’s where I recognize him!
CHELSEA
He’s the weird kid who is always
sleeping in class cause he’s so
high!
JENNY
The one who eat a jar of peanut
butter at lunch!
CHELSEA
Oh my god, yeah! What the hell is
he doing here?
Clay looks over at Tanner who is ripping the bong and zoning
out at the TV.
CLAY
Oh, I babysit him.
JENNY
Isn’t he a senior?
CLAY
Yes, but he is untrustworthy so his
mother asked me to watch him.
JENNY
Oh, that’s sweet of you!
26.
CLAY
Just helping out.
CLAY finishes pouring the shots and they all raise them.
CLAY (CONT’D)
To Detroit! May it stop being a
shithole!
JENNY
Whew!
CHELSEA
Another?
The street outside the home is quiet, but we can hear the
faint sound of a party going on inside.
CLAY
Hey where did Dylan go?
CHELSEA
Well, wherever he is... Amanda is
with him.
JENNY
Oh, that slut!
CHELSEA
Hey, good for her. And it’s smart
of her to start small.
JENNY
Ha-ha-ha!
27.
Dylan lies on a messy bed with Amanda on top. They are making
out with the light off of course.
AMANDA
I wanna do it.
DYLAN
Oh, yeah...
AMANDA
Yeah... I’m ready for it.
DYLAN
Alright... I’ll take it slow.
AMANDA
I brought condoms.
DYLAN
Oh, we don’t need those.
AMANDA
Are you sure?
DYLAN
Positive.
AMANDA
Did you hear something?
DYLAN
Yeah I did... the throb of my cock.
AMANDA
No... I mean like for real.
DYLAN
Ha-ha. Trust me, it’s real.
The LITTLE BOY hoist himself over the window sill and into
the room. He grabs his teddy bear and ducks below the bed.
AMANDA
Will it hurt?
DYLAN
No baby. I’m gonna take good care
of you.
The little boy looks up to see the two pairs of feet dangling
off the bed. He spies the right big toe of Dylan and licks
his lips.
DYLAN (CONT’D)
Alright, lets get these panties off
shall we...
AMANDA
Alright if you say -
DYLAN
AHHHH!
Dylan lets out a blood curdling scream and rolls over. We see
the little boy and his teddy bear leap out the window.
AMANDA
Oh my god! What’s wrong? Did you
cum?
DYLAN
AHHHH! No! My toe!
Dylan clutching his right foot with his big toe bitten clean
off. Blood streams down his leg.
AMANDA
AHHHH!
All the sudden Jenny and Chelsea burst into the room.
JENNY
What’s going on! I heard a scre -
AHHHHH!
CHELSEA
What the fuck did you do to him!
29.
AMANDA
I didn’t do anything! We were
kissing then he screamed and I
turned the light on -
CLAY
Hey why is everyone scream - HOLY
FUCKIN’ SHIT! WHAT THE FUCK!
DYLAN
Call 911! I don’t want to lose my
toe!
CLAY
On it!
CHELSEA
Wait! Where is the toe!
AMANDA
Huh!
DYLAN
What do you mean where is it! Where
could it be!
JENNY
Everyone look for the toe!
DYLAN
Oh god! Oh god! Find my fucking
toe!
Dylan begins to shove the bed sheet into his toe stump.
DYLAN (CONT’D)
AHHHHH! Fuck!
AMANDA
I don’t see anything!
JENNY
Look under the bed!
30.
CHELSEA
I did! Nothing!
DYLAN
What are you talking about! It has
to be here.
CLAY
An ambulance is on it’s way, should
be here any second.
JENNY
We can’t find the toe!
CLAY
What!
AMANDA
It’s not here!
CLAY
Look!
AMANDA
I don’t see anything!
DYLAN
Look harder! I don’t want to be a
toeless freak!
AMANDA
They’re here!
DYLAN
Where the fuck is my toe!
31.
AMANDA
Is he going to be ok.
EMT
He’ll be fine, but you all need to
wait here.
CLAY
What’s going on?
CHELSEA
Why is everyone coming this way.
CLAY
Why are all the doctors freaking
out?
NURSE
We have a code red situation.
CLAY
What does that -
A team of doctors wheel the OLD MAN from under the viaduct
into the hospital. His legs are bandaged up but he is
bleeding through them profusely.
CHELSEA
What the fuck was that?
JENNY
Did that guy have no legs?
32.
CLAY
That’s... what it looks like.
AMANDA
I think I’m gonna go home. This
night has been weird enough.
CHELSEA
Yep.
JENNY
I’m with you.
CLAY
Well, I guess that’s a wrap.
Hellen emerges from the alley way to the morning sun after
her long night shift. She makes her way down the alley, but
then stops and turns around and walks towards the garbage can
where she thought she saw a “raccoon” last night.
As she gets near the tipped over garbage can, she clenches
her nose. Something smells foul.
HELLEN
AHHHHH!
DARRELL
Come in Andy.
Andy enters.
ANDY
How’d you know it was me?
DARRELL
You have a distinct knock. It’s
overly peppy.
33.
ANDY
Well hey, I like to spread
positivity.
DARRELL
Ok, but you understand your job
entails you to pretty much deliver
bad news on a daily basis. right?
ANDY
That’s not true.
DARRELL
Why did you knock?
ANDY
Oh... well... a woman called in and
found a bone in the trash. We
thought it was probably nothing,
but forensics ran it. It belongs to
Steven Fogle.
DARRELL
Well thank you for spreading that
positivity. Woman finds remains of
cannaibalized human body in the
trash.
DARRELL (CONT’D)
What a positive job you have. Lets
go take a look at where they found
the human bone shall we?
The alley where Hellen found the bone is taped off. A few
investigators taking pictures accompany Darrell and Andy.
DARRELL
Only the humorous?
ANDY
No forearm, no fingers. Just the
left humorous.
34.
DARRELL
Hmm. Now this is fucking weird. How
far are we from the original body?
ANDY
I’d say... 2 miles. Maybe less.
DARRELL
So why bring a small piece this far
away to snack on?
ANDY
Maybe he was just throwing it away,
we don’t know it was eaten here.
DARRELL
First of all, if you’re throwing a
eaten human bone away, I doubt
you’re gonna tip the trash can
over. And two. Look at those blood
stains. Clearly a mess was made
here.
ANDY
I wonder where the rest of the
limbs are.
DARRELL
Something tells me they are gonna
start turning up.
CLAY
Hey mom, you’re up early.
HELLEN
Couldn’t sleep.
CLAY
Why?
HELLEN
After work I... found a bone in the
Alley.
CLAY
What?
35.
HELLEN
Yeah, it looked human... might just
be a cow or something, but it
freaked me out. I called the
police, they’re looking into it.
CLAY
It’s definitely just from the
butcher shop. I think I spooked you
too much with that pic yesterday.
HELLEN
Oh don’t bring that up again!
CLAY
Sorry... Oh did you hear about
Dylan?
HELLEN
No what?
CLAY
He cut his toe off.
HELLEN
What!
CLAY
Yeah, in my bedroom. I had to
throwaway all my sheets.
HELLEN
His entire toe!
CLAY
Yeah, at least most of it.
HELLEN
How did it happen?
CLAY
You know i’m still trying to piece
that together myself. We were
drinking a lot and he was in my
room and there was blood by the
window. My guess is he slammed his
foot in a window or something I
don’t know.
HELLEN
Well we’re they able to reattach
his toe?
36.
CLAY
Well the EMTs said it’s actually
really easy to reattach a toe.
HELLEN
Well thats good news.
CLAY
Oh no... we never found the toe.
HELLEN
You’re telling me there’s a severed
toe somewhere in this house?
CLAY
Yeah, probably. But you’ll never
find it. I’ve been looking all
morning. Nothing.
HELLEN
Oh my god thats it. I’m taking a
sleeping pill and passing out.
Hellen goes back to her room. Clay pours a cup of coffee and
goes over to the TV. He puts on the news.
LANCE
Alright, thanks for watching
weather with Lance and remember
stay sunny!
CLAY
Fuck off Lance.
NEWS ANCHOR
Breaking news. Police have just
confirmed they have Identified part
of the body of Steven Fogle the man
who was brutally dismembered in a
suspected cannibalism motivated
attack. The arm bone was discovered
in an alley way trash can less than
2 miles from the body. Stay tuned
for updates after the break.
CLAY
Mom... you might want to see this.
HELLEN
What is it?
37.
Darrell and Andy are driving around the area where Steven
Fogle’s body was found. The neighborhood is war torn.
Homeless camps everywhere, condemned buildings, trash litters
the streets.
DARRELL
Man, this used to be a nice place.
What happened.
ANDY
Volkswagen and Toyota that’s who.
Those Germans and Japanese suck at
war, but goddamn are they good at
building cars.
DARRELL
Yeah, sucks that we had to live in
the U.S. Auto hub. When the
industry fell. So did the city.
ANDY
Hey it survived the first crash.
I’m sure we’ll get through this
one.
DARRELL
I hope so.
DARRELL (CONT’D)
Look at them. They must be starving
out there.
ANDY
(on phone)
...Ok we’ll be there soon.
DARRELL
What up?
ANDY
Apparently some guy was admitted to
the hospital last night with both
is legs cut off.
38.
DARRELL
What the fuck is going on?
ANDY
It’s worse. He’s claiming they were
taken.
DARRELL
Get the fuck to the hospital now.
OLD MAN
I’m telling you... you gotta find
them.
DARRELL
Alright sir, let me get this
straight... 2 children chopped your
legs off and... dragged them away.
OLD MAN
Well I only saw one of the children
up close, but I think they were
both children.
DARRELL
Oh... Nurse!
DARRELL (CONT’D)
What was in his system when he was
admitted?
NURSE
Um... He had high levels of opiates
in him... alcohol... that’s it.
39.
DARRELL
Ok great... well thank you sir.
We’ll get looking for the...
children you speak of.
OLD MAN
You... you better be careful! They
have swords!
ANDY
Got it.
ANDY
Well that was weird.
DARRELL
Clearly, he’s crazy, but it doesn’t
answer what the fuck happened to
the poor guy.
ANDY
Kids? I mean how high do you have
to be to hallucinate seeing kids
with swords chop your legs off?
DARRELL
Ha-ha! Maybe it’s the same midget
who ate Steven Fogle!
ANDY
Yeah, I’ll call it in! We have a
cannibal midget serial killer on
the loose who can consume 35 pounds
at once!
DARRELL
Ha-Ha! Man, I’m thinking that guy
was just fucked up and playing on
the train tracks or something.
Passed out, train came, goodbye
legs.
40.
ANDY
I could see it... Hey I’m gonna
grabs some chips, meet you at the
car.
Andy takes a left down the hall towards the vending machine.
He pulls out a few bucks and looks over the different
options.
ANDY (CONT’D)
What are you in for?
DYLAN
My toe.
ANDY
Oh yeah, did you break it or
something.
DYLAN
No.
ANDY
Oh, so just a sprain?
DYLAN
It’s cut off.
ANDY
Oh jeez! What happened?
DYLAN
I... I don’t know. I was just in
bed and... Bang! I felt it cut off.
ANDY
Wha -
ANDY (CONT’D)
Who... cut it?
41.
DYLAN
I have no idea. I felt something
warm... wet... Then gone.
ANDY
Warm and wet?
DYLAN
Yeah... I think it might have been
a raccoon or something, but the
doctors say a rodent wouldn’t have
the jaw strength.
ANDY
Whoa, so you think you were bit?
DYLAN
That’s what it felt like.
ANDY
Think it could have been... a
person?
DYLAN
No... no... Whatever it was, it
would have to fit through a small
sliding window.
ANDY
How small?
DYLAN
I dunno, 2 feet by 1 foot.
ANDY
Hmm.
Andy opens his chips and walks back down the hall. Thinking.
DARRELL
You have the keys...
ANDY
Oh right... my bad.
42.
ANDY (CONT’D)
Hey, I just met a kid in there who
got his toe bit off.
DARRELL
His toe?
ANDY
Yeah, he had no idea how, but what
ever it is, crawled out a small
window.
DARRELL
Jesus fucking christ! Why the hell
is everyone talking about small
people eating people!
ANDY
...Maybe they are?
DARRELL
Get in the fucking car.
The LITTLE BOY with the teddy bear, the toe biter, is trying
to push over a trashcan. The sound of a car grows louder.
PEDOPHILE
Hey man, what’s up?
PEDOPHILE (CONT’D)
What you looking for there? You
hungry.
PEDOPHILE (CONT’D)
You know I have a bunch of snacks
in here. Candy, sandwiches, ice
cream. All the goodies. You wanna
come in and... have a snack?
The little boy looks up the street and down the street. It’s
desolate.
PEDOPHILE (CONT’D)
Come on in, you look pretty hungry.
The pedophile extends his hand and the little boy picks up
his teddy bear and gets in the van. The door shuts.
CHARITY WOMAN
Help starving children! Anything
helps!
A man leaving the store slips a few bucks into her bucket.
CHOMP! Another child bites off her thumb! CHOMP! Now her
other index finger! CHOMP! All the kids are biting off
fingers!
The charity woman manages to get her hands free and the
children begin to bite at her legs. The only fingers that
remain are the left ring finger and the right thumb.
She manages to gain some space between her and the children,
who are chewing her fingers up. She looks down at her hands
and...
One of the children rushes her and goes in for a bite, but
the charity woman knees the child in the face and begins
stomping on his face just as 2 more children start biting at
her other leg. They manage to get a good chunk each from her
calf until she kicks them off.
ANDY
Slug bug!
DARRELL
Fuck you!
ANDY
Hey! That’s not the game!
45.
DARRELL
I’m not playing a game.
ANDY
Jeez, I was just trying to take our
minds off this depressing day.
DARRELL
Well punching me is not the way to
do it.
ANDY
Sorry, I just can’t take any more
of this missing limb and biting
people shit.
DARRELL
I feel it, but at least the worst
is over.
ANDY
Hey, pull in here somethings going
on...
DARRELL
What is going on here?
ANDY
Oh, my god what is she doing to
those kids!
DARRELL
What the fuck!
Darrell and Andy get out of the car and draw their guns.
CHARITY WOMAN
Help me! Help!
Darrell and Andy approach the group aiming their guns at the
charity woman.
46.
DARRELL
Everyone get down now!
ANDY
Don’t move!
Andy and Darrell move their guns around not sure where to
aim. They look at each other, pure confusion. Finally Darrell
points his gun in the air and shoots three shots. The
children scatter.
CHARITY WOMAN
AHHHH! AHHHH! Help!
ANDY
AHHHH! What the fuck!
ANDY (CONT’D)
Mother fucking shit! What the fuck
is this!
DARRELL
Stay calm!
ANDY
Stay calm! Stay calm! I just saw a
group of cannibal children eat a
woman! And she killed one! What the
fuck do we do! Arrest the children!
Arrest her! We can’t even hand cuff
her!
DARRELL
I... I... Lets just call.
ANDY
Ok... you do it. I’m too fucking
traumatized.
47.
CHARITY WOMAN
I.. I... help... help... I
ANDY
Were, working on it! And I don’t
know if you’re under arrest or not
so shut it. Cause we might use it
against you when you’re tried for
curb stomping a kids to death!
CHARITY WOMAN
Accident... I they were... My
fingers! AHHHH!
ANDY
Jesus christ! Are we in a fuckin’
saw movie! Call faster.
PEDOPHILE (O.S.)
Yeah... Is that candy good?
PEDOPHILE (CONT’D)
I have another treat I think you
might like.
PEDOPHILE (CONT’D)
Here, try this. You might like it.
PEDOPHILE (CONT’D)
Yeah... Yeah just like -
PEDOPHILE (CONT’D)
AHHHH! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! AHHHH!
48.
PEDOPHILE (CONT’D)
FUCK!
FADE TO BLACK.
CHELSEA
I’m just saying I hope he doesn’t
blame you.
AMANDA
How is it my fault?
CHELSEA
I’m not saying it’s your fault, I’m
just saying if you didn’t try and
seduce him. He wouldn’t have had
his toe eaten by a street child.
AMANDA
We don’t know it was one of the
street children.
CHELSEA
In the past week, A body was found
with child size bite marks in it,
Clay’s mom found his arm also with
child size bite marks, Some old guy
claimed on the news that two kids
chopped his legs off, A woman was
disfigured by a group of cannibal
children oh! And lets not forget
about the registered sex offender
who got his dick bit off!
JENNY
I mean, Amanda. Detroit was on
national news because of all these
kid attacks... Dylan getting his
toe “Cut” off... must have been one
of the kids.
AMANDA
Try and lose your virginity Amanda!
It will be fun they said! Gangs of
homeless children terrorizing
Detroit and biting off the guy
you’re trying to fucks toe! Oh that
won’t happen. Fuck my life.
JENNY
On the plus side at least you
didn’t lose a toe...
AMANDA
Yeah, and I didn’t get to lose my
virginity either!
CHELSEA
Well, just go for round two with
Dylan. I’m sure he’s up for it.
AMANDA
Ewww! He’s missing a toe!
JENNY
Shhhh! Here they come.
CLAY
Hey, what’s going on?
50.
JENNY
Just chilling.
CLAY
Cool, well it was nice you could
all come. I know Dylan’s glad to
see you all.
AMANDA
Hey Dylan! How’s your toe doing?
DYLAN
I don’t have it, so I don’t know.
AMANDA
Oh... right.
CLAY
Did you hear about the chick who
killed the kid?
CHELSEA
What happened to her?
CLAY
It was on the news this morning,
she got two life sentences.
JENNY
Oh my god! But wasn’t she acting in
self defense? I mean those fuckers
ate all her fingers.
CLAY
She stomped an 8 year olds face in.
CHELSEA
Good, little fucker had it coming.
CLAY
Still...
AMANDA
She would have died if she didn’t
kill one of them.
51.
CLAY
Yeah, but I think when it comes to
self defense, you’re suppose to let
kids kill you cause If you kill
them... well I don’t think a jury
is going to understand the nuance
of self defense against cannibal
children.
JENNY
Where are these fuckers coming
from?
CLAY
I dunno, the kid she stomped was
from some orphanage or something,
but I mean ever since the factories
closed homeless kids have been on
the rise.
DYLAN
Where do you think they are
learning to eat people?
TANNER
Maybe they just tried it and liked
it.
CLAY
How do you just try person?
TANNER
I mean if you’re hungry and you see
a dead guy...
CHELSEA
Ok I’m sorry, why is this weirdo
here?
CLAY
Well... I thought Dylan would want
to see him and -
DYLAN
I don’t want to see him.
52.
CLAY
Lets all relax, I know were all on
edge because of all thats going on,
but let’s not take it out on
Tanner.
JENNY
You’re right Clay. These are
strange times. How is everything by
the way... you know with your mom
and all?
CLAY
She’s doing fine. Was freaked out
for a while cause of the whole arm
in the trash thing, but it’s all
good now. Well, not all good,
there’s fucking children going
around eating people, but she’s
good.
JENNY
That’s good.
DYLAN
Alright great small talk. Can we
order some fucking food now?
Darrell and Andy walk into an office adorn with crosses and
pictures of Jesus. They take a seat in front of a desk where
SISTER MARTHA, some nun in charge of the orphanage, sits.
DARRELL
Sister, thank you for taking the
time to see us. I wish it could’ve
been on better terms.
SISTER MARTHA
Oh it is no trouble at all. How may
I help you gentlemen.
DARRELL
As you know, Benjamin Peters, the
boy who...
(MORE)
53.
DARRELL (CONT'D)
passed last week in an altercation
with a woman at a grocery store...
SISTER MARTHA
God rest his soul, Amen.
DARRELL
Yeah... he was recorded as
attending St. Marry’s up until a
few months ago. I was hoping you
could help us understand what
happened with him.
SISTER MARTHA
Yes... Yes... Benji. A bright young
boy.
ANDY
I noticed. You guys look like
you’re filled to the brim.
SISTER MARTHA
Yes... we are far over capacity,
but we can’t just turn the children
away.
DARRELL
That’s very kind of you.
SISTER MARTHA
Thank you, but it’s not all
sunshine and rainbows. We lose many
children daily.
ANDY
Lose?
54.
SISTER MARTHA
Well, no... there are so many we
can hardly keep track! However once
the children get older, some tend
to run away.
DARRELL
Did Benji run away?
SISTER MARTHA
Yes.. Yes he did. Poor boy.
DARRELL
Do you have any idea why?
SISTER MARTHA
Many. We don’t have enough beds,
food or space for all the children
and the youngest get seniority. So
many of the older children run off
looking for a bed to sleep on or
something to eat.
Both Darrell and Andy cringe when Sister Martha says “eat”.
DARRELL
That’s terrible. The city doesn’t
supply you properly?
SISTER MARTHA
They try... but the city is broke.
We survive off hand me down beds
and the few canned goods we get
from the food bank. It’s hardly
enough for half the children.
DARRELL
It’s truly terrible the situation
these kids have been put in and I
sympathize... but I wanted to know
if you ever noticed any... strange
behavior in kids that have run off,
like Benji.
SISTER MARTHA
Strange?
55.
ANDY
Well, I’m sure you’ve heard about
the... allegation surrounding Benji
and the other run away children.
SISTER MARTHA
Oh it’s terrible, just terrible. It
must be some kind of mistake. Benji
is a good kid. He wouldn’t hurt a
fly.
Andy and Darrell look at each other. Remember, they saw Benji
and the other kids fucking maul that woman.
DARRELL
Right, but is there anything you
could think of that might make him,
oh I don’t know, hungry for human
flesh?
SISTER MARTHA
I beg your pardon! How dare you
accuse a murdered child of such
things!
DARRELL
Sister, we are only doing our job -
SISTER MARTHA
And I am doing mine by asking the
two of you to leave this instant!
ANDY
Look, we saw Benji and a group -
SISTER MARTHA
Out!
DARRELL
Sorry to have bothered you Sister.
Sister Martha nods and the two men leave the office.
56.
The TALL GIRL, the one who raised up the severed arm at the
beginning, carrying a flashlight and a plastic bag.
She trudges through the sewage water and makes her way to a
patch of dirt and walks through a small hole in the wall.
Close to two dozen children age 8-11 sitting around the fire
pit dressed in tarnish, dirt riddles clothes. A leg, human,
roasts over the fire.
The Tall girl approaches the fire pit and places her plastic
bag on the ground. Inside is a half full bottle of ketchup.
One of the kids, SUSIE a young girl of 9 puts a smile on her
face.
SUSIE
Oh my gosh, Maddie! You got it!
Everyone! Maddie got the sauce!
All the kids cheer in excitement and Susie grabs the bottle
and begins basting the roasting human leg in ketchup.
MADDIE
Is this all we have left?
One of the boys in the group, the little boy with the teddy
bear, speaks up.
LITTLE BOY
Yeah, we should probably go and get
more soon. We haven’t been out in a
while.
MADDIE
You’re right Tyler, we need more
food.
HARRY KYLE
We’ll go! We’ll go!
MADDIE
I think we should all go, the more
of us the easier. Plus we can have
each others back’s... we don’t want
another Benji.
All the children start balling. Tears stream down their faces
and cries of, “no!” And “Benji!” Are heard.
MADDIE (CONT’D)
We just need to be more careful.
Lets go for the old people who
can’t hurt us!
TYLER
That’s a good Idea. The one’s who
live under the bridges just lay on
the ground napping all day.
KYLE
What about Sister Martha?
HARRY
Yeah, she always fed us well!
KYLE
Why can’t we go get some meat from
her?
MADDIE
Kyle! Harry! We can’t we’re too
old! If we go back then we won’t
get fed because we are the food!
TYLER
You guys do know the meat in the
orphanage is only for kids under 7?
KYLE
What?
HARRY
Why?
MADDIE
You guys! They feed the older kids
to the younger kids!
58.
HARRY KYLE
What! What!
HARRY
I didn’t know that.
TYLER
Why do you think we left?
HARRY KYLE
I thought it was an I thought it was an
adventure! adventure!
MADDIE
Sorry guys, not an adventure. We
just didn’t want to be Dinner.
Speaking of, lets go get some.
CUT TO:
SISTER MARTHA
Children! It’s dinner time!
All the young sickly kids get up and Sister Martha hands
groups of them bowls of chopped up cooked meat. The kids all
head back to their beds and floors and start eating the meat.
HELLEN
Uhhhh! Clay please stop with the
weed in the house!
CLAY
Mom! I’m having anxiety.
HELLEN
Why?
CLAY
Cause I’m scared for you, last week
you were right next to where that
guys body was found. I have to sit
around all day wondering if my mom
is being eaten by children! It’s
stressful!
HELLEN
How do you think I feel knowing one
of those devil childs was right
next to me! I saw him!
CLAY
Ok, look I’m not going to play the
who has more anxiety Olympics.
Clearly we are both stress and will
each deal with it in our own way. I
choose weed.
HELLEN
Stop it or move out!
60.
CLAY
You wouldn’t kick me out.
HELLEN
Watch me.
Hellen goes over and smacks Clay’s bong off the table. It
shatters.
CLAY
What the fuck!
HELLEN
I’m going to bed. Don’t bother me.
DARRELL
Alright, the Mayor has made it
clear that he does not want any
more negative coverage of Detroit's
Cannibal child epidemic. This makes
it our responsibility to subdue all
of these street children going
around eating people. You’ve each
been assigned a district to search.
Look in alleys, abandoned
buildings, garbage cans, whatever.
We just need to find these kids.
Any questions?
DARRELL (CONT’D)
Yes, Brian.
BRIAN
Yeah, what are we doing with the
kids once we find them.
DARRELL
You know, I don’t really know.
Probably hand them off to child
services or something. Well put em’
in the holding cell till the city
finds a home for them, but point is
just round em’ up.
61.
DARRELL (CONT’D)
Go, Mike.
MIKE
Can we use lethal force?
DARRELL
We already got the fucking NAACP on
our ass, you really want child
protective services on us also?
Don’t shoot the kids.
MIKE
How do we capture them then? They
could bite us.
DARRELL
Mace, taser, a fucking net. Just
don’t shoot them. They’re kids for
christ sake. Any more questions?
DARRELL (CONT’D)
Alright, Operation round up is a
go. Let’s roll out.
Gagster rap plays as the police force rolls out. All the cops
walks to their cruisers, testing out their tasers, shaking
their mace cans and loading shot guns with rubbers bullets.
It’s time to fuck up some cannibal children.
Andy and Darrell get into their cruiser and both put on a
pair of aviator sunglasses.
DARRELL
Hit it.
Two kids play catch outside a deli. They look well kept, not
the cannibal type.
The cruiser stops at the curb next to the kids and rolls down
the window. It’s BRIAN, the guy with the mustache and MIKE.
BRIAN
What you kids up to?
BRIAN (CONT’D)
Huh, mutes I see.
Brian and Mike get out of the car, they draw their batons.
BRIAN (CONT’D)
Look, were gonna have to ask you to
come down to the station with us.
KID
We’re not suppose to go anywhere
with strangers!
BRIAN
Look, I don’t care. We’re rounding
up all the little street children
like yourselves. So get in the car.
MIKE
Brian, I don’t think these kids are
the ones were looking for...
BRIAN
How the fuck would you know Mike? I
don’t want to take any chance. I
say round up all the street kids,
put em’ in a cell and if they don’t
start eating each other we’ll let
em’ go.
MIKE
This is ridiculous, these kids are
not cannibals.
BRIAN
Oh fuck!
63.
Brian looks at the Kid who at the gummies who is chewing with
red stains on his mouth.
BRIAN (CONT’D)
Told you it’s them! Get em’!
BRIAN (CONT’D)
I got him! Get the other!
CUT TO:
Brian and Mike drive the cruiser with the two kids who were
playing catch handcuffed in the back.
BRIAN
I’m sorry I had to tackle you, but
you just can’t go around eating
people and biting off fingers.
That’s no Bueno.
MIKE
How would you like it if someone
ate you?
Mike looks back at the kids and stares them down to which the
kids return a confused look.
MIKE (CONT’D)
Wouldn’t like it would you?
The cell door closes on the two kids. Brian and Mike stand in
the room.
BRIAN
Alright, lets go get some more.
ANDY
Alright, this place is about a
block from most of the attacks.
Seems like a possible spot.
DARRELL
Only one way to find out.
DARRELL
Keep your eyes peeled, they could
be hiding around a corner or
something.
They move deeper into the building. Heroin needles and fast
food trash line the floors. This is a real shit hole.
ANDY
(whisper)
Darrell.
DARRELL
Alright on 3. 1... 2... 3!
Both Andy and Darrell avert their eyes as fast as they can.
HOMELESS MAN
Hey! This is a private event! Get
lost!
ANDY
Sorry!
ANDY (CONT’D)
What? I mean we are intruding.
DARRELL
Let’s just get the hell out of
here.
DARRELL
Well I need to go bleach my eyes.
DARRELL (CONT’D)
(via radio)
Go for Hick, Over.
RODNEY (O.S.)
(via radio)
It’s Rodney... I think we got
something. Gonna need some back up.
Over.
DARRELL
(via radio)
Me and Andy are on our way. What’s
the location?
DARRELL
You said you found something?
RODNEY
We did. Look.
DARRELL
A wagon?
RODNEY
Look inside.
DARRELL
Holy shit!
ANDY
Oh god!
DARRELL
Andy get your shit together!
DARRELL (CONT’D)
How’d you find this?
CLARK
Well, we figured that cannibal
children are pretty fucking creepy,
and where do creepy things hang
out? Sewers. I mean sewers are
notorious for fucking creeps so we
decided to check out this drainage
tunnel and lo and behold we find a
wagon full of bones.
ANDY
Wow, that’s almost too
coincidental..
CLARK
Yeah... Yeah it is. Let’s not
question it too much though.
RODNEY
Our bet is that the kids are able
to fit through the bars on the
tunnel.
(MORE)
67.
RODNEY (CONT'D)
We tried fitting through, but
couldn’t. Even Clark couldn’t fit
and he has an eating disorder.
CLARK
Hey! That’s personal!
RODNEY
Well you look like a fucking
holocaust survivor.
CLARK
That’s not funny! My Grandpa
actually was a holocaust survivor,
you asshole!
RODNEY
Well the apple doesn't fall far
from the tree.
CLARK
Fuck you! You don’t see me making
fun of your micro penis!
RODNEY
I have an average sized penis!
CLARK
Yeah, in tiny dick land!
DARRELL
Hey! Cut it out. Let’s get back to
finding the little fuckers shall
we?
ANDY
We’re gonna have to call in for
someone to come down here and saw
off these bars.
DARRELL
Alright, let’s get on it.
MADDIE
Hello! I’m Maddie and this is
Susie! We are selling cookies for
our troop, would you like to buy
some?
HELLEN
Huh? What? Wasn’t it girl scout
cookie season a few months ago?
SUSIE
No! Girl scout cookie season just
started!
HELLEN
Oh... Ok I guess I’m just losing
it.
MADDIE
That’s ok. Do you want to help
support our troop?
HELLEN
I’m sorry girls... I’m gonna have
to pass.
MADDIE
Wait!
MADDIE (CONT’D)
Please! If we sell just 2 more
boxes we can buy new uniforms.
HELLEN
Alright, come in I need to write a
check.
HELLEN (CONT’D)
How much for 2 boxes?
SUSIE
Uh... $5.
HELLEN
Oh... that’s cheaper than usual, I
guess the girl scouts of America
are cutting prices.
Hellen finishes writing the check and heads over to the girls
in the living room and hands them the check.
HELLEN (CONT’D)
Here you two go. I hope it helps.
MADDIE
Thank you! You can choose whatever
cookies you want.
Hellen walks past the girls and leans over the wagon. Her
face twists in confusion as she sees all the cookies are
store bought brands. The boxes also look a little beat up.
HELLEN
Huh? These aren’t girl scout
cookies.
Behind Hellen, Maddie and Susie each pull out an 8 inch buck
knife. Hellen grabs a box of cookies and immediately realizes
the box is empty. It’s just trash.
HELLEN (CONT’D)
What the?
HELLEN (CONT’D)
Hey what is -
SUSIE
DIE!
As the young and innocent 9 year old girl yells “Die”, she
slashes Hellen's Achilles tendon with her knife. Hellen falls
down face first over the wagon of empty cookie boxes.
HELLEN
AHHHH!
Maddie leaps over Hellen and plunges her knife right into the
base of Hellen’s neck. It’s sinks a good inch deep severing
the spinal cord.
HELLEN (CONT’D)
St... St... Op... Help... No...
Ah...
SUSIE
DIE!
Hellen’s eyes remain wide and her mouth mumbles, but she can
clearly not feel the stabbing of her calf.
MADDIE
I think she’s dead.
SUSIE
Yay!
MADDIE
I am Hunnnn-gry!
SUSIE
Me too!
71.
SUSIE (CONT’D)
Mmmm... Oh I wonder if she has
ketchup!
MADDIE
Go check!
Susie wipes the toe blood off her face and heads to the
kitchen to check for ketchup. Maddie takes another bite of
finger.
Andy, Darrell, Rodney and Clark all stand back watching the
crew remove the grate.
RODNEY
Who’s gonna go in first?
ANDY
Not me.
DARRELL
Not me.
CLARK
Not me.
RODNEY
Fuck!
DARRELL
Should’ve called dips.
Darrell pats Rodney on the back who heads down to the newly
opened sewer tunnel. The other 3 cops follow.
DARRELL (CONT’D)
Alright, Rodney will lead.
72.
DARRELL (CONT’D)
I’ll take rear with the bean bag
shotgun.
DARRELL (CONT’D)
Andy, Clark. You two stay in the
middle watching the sides. I don’t
want any surprise attacks.
CLARK
This seems like a bit overkill for
a bunch of kids.
DARRELL
I just want no confrontations. If
we don’t see a kid and he bites one
of our ankles our instinct will be
to shoot the fucker. The Mayor was
pretty clear that if you shoot a
fuckin’ kid, even if he bites you,
You get the death sentence. Plus I
don’t want a fuckin’ media outcry
about how Detroit cops shoot kids.
So lets spot them before they bite
us. We’ll capture them and be done
with it. Got it.
RODNEY CLARK
Yeah. Yeah.
DARRELL
Andy?
ANDY
Yeah... It’s just... can I skip
this one out... I don’t like sewage
drains.
DARRELL
Now Andy, who the fuck likes sewage
drains? I’m sure all of us here
fuckin’ hate walking through human
shit in the pitch black while on
the look out for cannibal children,
but it’s our job.
ANDY
I know but -
73.
DARRELL
But shut the fuck up and lets go.
Andy gives a timid nod and they all head into the sewage
drain.
BRIAN (O.S.)
Get down here!
KID
No!
We MOVE BACK and see that Brian and Mike are standing at the
base of the playground. Behind them, 5 children all hog tied
with zip ties. They wiggle around trying to escape to no
avail.
MIKE
You get down here right now!
KID
No!
BRIAN
Just go up there and get him.
MIKE
No! You do it.
BRIAN
Fine I will!
BRIAN (CONT’D)
Nows your last chance kid! I’m
coming up!
KID
Go away!
MIKE
You ok.
BRIAN
AHHH! I’m fine.
Brian gets up from his fall and sneers at the kid on the
roof.
BRIAN (CONT’D)
That’s it!
MIKE
What are you doing? You can’t tase
a kid from here.
BRIAN
You’ll see.
Brian places the zip tie around the taser and zips it tight.
The zip tie pulls on the taser trigger causing it to remain
on.
BRIAN (CONT’D)
Hey fucker!
BOOM! Brian beams the kid straight in the forehead with the
taser.
KID
AHHHH!
MIKE
Nice one.
At least a dozen kids, all well dressed and clearly not the
cannibal children, sit in the holding cell. Brian and Mike
stand with their arms crossed admiring their accomplishment.
MIKE
I’m surprised we are the only team
to bring in any of them.
75.
BRIAN
Yeah, that’s cause we rock.
MIKE
Alright, lets go round up more.
BRIAN
Wait, we’ve done our fair share.
Lets wait for the other teams to
stop fucking around and pull their
own weight.
MIKE
Yeah, we’re doing all the work.
Let’s go get some thai food.
BRIAN
You read my mind.
ANDY
Ok, we’ve gone deep enough. No one
is here lets go.
DARRELL
Not so fast. Lets at least make it
to the next corner.
CLARK
Hey, you guys smell that?
RODNEY
Yes Clark we can all smell the dick
on your breath.
DARRELL
I smell it to.
RODNEY
Yeah, I just said that. Clark’s
cock breath is very pungent.
DARRELL
Shut the fuck up. Smell that.
ANDY
BBQ.
DARRELL
I’m guessing it’s not pork.
They all continue walking and take a left down the tunnel.
Everyone is on edge, walking very carefully.
ANDY
There!
DARRELL
Yeah, the smell is definitely
coming from there. Rodney... you’re
up.
RODNEY
What! I already went first.
DARRELL
Well, not it.
CLARK
Not it.
ANDY
Not it.
RODNEY
Fuck!
DARRELL
Don’t worry you’ll be fine. It’s
just a couple kids.
DARRELL (CONT’D)
We’ll be right behind you.
RODNEY
Alright.
Rodney crouches and heads into the tunnel. Darrell, Andy and
Clark follow right behind him. They all reach the end of the
tunnel and stand up in the open chamber.
77.
The tents are just as they were before, but the room is much
darker due to the fire being out. The coals, however, still
smolder with the smell of homeless leg meat. No children can
be seen.
DARRELL
Well... we found their hangout.
Keep moving.
Rodney grabs his neck and spins around. Andy flashes his
light on him to see Rodney choking on his own blood as blood
engulfs the hands on his neck.
CLARK
Rodney!
DARRELL
Fuck!
Rodney falls into Clarks arms and Darrel rips off his sleeve
and shoves it on Rodney’s neck to stop the bleeding.
DARRELL (CONT’D)
Hang in their Rodney! You’re gonna
be just fine.
CLARK
I got you Rodney!
ANDY
Guys...
CHILD
Intruder!
Clark and Darrell look away from Rodney and see the 3 kids.
78.
DARRELL
Andy grab the kids!
ANDY
Hey guys, my name is Andy and -
CHILD
Die Andy!
CHILD (CONT’D)
We’re gonna get you!
The children get back up and chomp their jaws at Andy, who
just pushes them over again.
ANDY
I got it under control! Get Rodney
out of here!
Darrell and Clark get Rodney to his feet and begin to walk
him out of the chamber. He is covered in blood at this point.
CHILD
Ahhhh!
The middle child goes in for one final charge, Andy counters
it with a quick kick to the face. The Child stays down this
time.
ANDY
Stop!
ANDY (CONT’D)
Alright time to go.
Andy walks into the holding cell room with the 3 children all
zip tied and with leashes around their necks. All the kids
keep biting at Andy who uses a combination of dodging and
leash pulling to avoid getting bit.
79.
ANDY
Alright you little fuckers get in
the -
Andy looks at the holding cell and sees the dozen normal kids
Brian and Mike brought in.
ANDY (CONT’D)
What the?
Footsteps from the hallway grow closer and Brian and Mike
walk into the holding cell room. Brian pats his belly.
BRIAN
Man, Pad thai is better than pussy.
Well the pussy I get.. I suppose
there is pussy out their better
than pad thai, but I’ve never tried
it.
MIKE
I plowed this one girl, almost as
good as pad thai... Almost.
BRIAN
See that’s what I’m saying. Pad
thai is still better.
MIKE
I guess so -
ANDY
What the fuck is this?
Brian and Mike snap out of their Pad thai vs. Pussy debate
and see Andy pointing to the jail cell of children.
BRIAN
That would be the 13 children we
rounded up. Ha, you only got 3?
Man, and you were out there longer
than us.
Andy looks at all the kids in the cell. Well cut hair, polo
shirts. Some are even wearing khaki pants.
ANDY
Do those kids look like they live
on the streets and eat people?
MIKE
Hmmm... Hey kids, you like to eat
people?
The kids in the cell just stare blankly at the dumb question.
MIKE (CONT’D)
Hmmm... That could mean anything.
ANDY
Look at these kids.
MIKE BRIAN
AHHH! FUCK!
ANDY
Yeah, now look at the kids you
caught.
Mike and Brian examine the well dressed and clearly not
Cannibal, kids.
MIKE BRIAN
Ohhhhh... Ohhhhh...
ANDY
Yeah, we’re rounding up creepy
looking fuckers, not all children.
BRIAN
You know I will take the fall for
this one. I heard cannibal children
and freaked. I didn’t want to take
a risk not capturing a kid that may
be a cannibal, so I figured I would
bring em’ all in then we can
determine, which are fuckin’
psychopaths. But I can see now it
is very clear which kids eat people
and which don’t. So uh... Mike and
I are gonna go dump these kids off
where we found them.
ANDY
You do that.
Brian fumbles with his key chain and goes to unlock the cell.
81.
BRIAN
Alright, everyone out. Going back
to the streets for which you came.
Let’s go.
The kids walk out in a single filed line and follow Mike and
Brian into the hallway.
ANDY
Alright, now you little shits can
go in here.
Andy walks the 3 children into the cell and quickly closes
the door. The children growl through the bars.
We see the front door and hear the sound of chewing raw meat.
We MOVE BACK to reveal Maddie chewing a hunk of Hellen’s back
strap. We MOVE BACK more to see Hellen... Both arms riddled
with bites and tears, one leg riddled with chunks ripped out.
Her back is missing a large section, probably the one Maddie
is chewing on. Hellen’s eye’s flicker, she is still alive
somehow. Paralyzed of course.
SUSIE (O.S)
How much longer?
MADDIE
Like a minute or so.
SUSIE
K.
Maddie throws the Hellen back strap meat to the side, she
must be board with that cut. She picks up a knife and looks
over Hellen deciding what looks appetizing. Shoulder looks
nice. Maddie plunges the knife into Hellen shoulder just as
the front door opens to...
CLAY
Mom, I’m ho - FUCK!!!
BAP! Fuckin’ bunt kicks Maddie square in the jaw. Her head
flies back and blood (hers and Hellen's) spews out of her
mouth.
CLAY (CONT’D)
You little bitch! I’m gonna fuckin’
kill you!
All the sudden the most high pitch little girl scream is
heard. Clay goes to turn around but is too late...
Susie charges Clay from behind with her Hellen meat Shish
Kebab knife right in the kidney.
SUSIE
DIE! DIE! DIE!
Susie pulls out the knife and re-inserts into the kidney.
CLAY
AHHHH!
Clay bitch slaps Susie, which propels her right next to the
front door, which is open. Clay falls to his knees.
SUSIE
Maddie Lets go!
Maddie jumps over Clay and books it out of the house with
Susie.
Clay crawls over to Hellen and leans down next to her face.
CLAY
Mom...
HELLEN
...Love You.
A door opens and a doctor comes out. Darrell and Clark look
up already knowing the news.
DOCTOR
I’m sorry...
DOCTOR (CONT’D)
He lost too much blood. Nothing
could have saved him... I’m sorry.
CLARK
Oh Rodney! He was my best friend.
DARRELL
They’re gonna pay...
CLARK
What can we do... they’re kids for
christ sake.
DARRELL
I don’t know! But we have to do
something! Something.
ANDY
I thought you guys looked thirsty.
ANDY (CONT’D)
Why? Hmm... Why do you eat people?
ANDY (CONT’D)
You guys don’t want the sodas? Ice
cold.
ANDY (CONT’D)
Ok, well are you hungry?
84.
ANDY (CONT’D)
Alright well if I get you something
to eat will you answer my
questions?
ANDY (CONT’D)
Alright, well what do you want to
ea - oh that’s a stupid question.
ANDY (CONT’D)
Yeah, you guys like this?
ANDY (CONT’D)
Alright you bunch of fuckin’
weirdos. Answer my questions and
you can have the blood. Ok?
ANDY (CONT’D)
With your voices.
CHILDREN
Yes.
ANDY
Great, why do you eat people?
CHILD 1
Cause it’s yummy and we’re hungry.
ANDY
God damn you are creepy. Umm...
when did you start eating people?
CHILD 2
Five.
85.
ANDY
Yep, that’s disturbing. Where did
you first eat people?
CHILD 3
The orphanage.
ANDY
Wha - wha - wait. You killed and
ate people in the orphanage.
CHILD 2
No.
ANDY
No? But he just said you did!
CHILD 1
We never killed anyone in the
orphanage.
CHILD 2
Just ate them.
ANDY
What? How did you do that there?
Who gave you it?
CHILD 3
Can we have the blood now?
CLAY runs out into the street clutching his stab wound.
Darrell slams on the breaks and gets out of the car. Clay
runs to him.
DARRELL
What happened?
86.
CLAY
My mom!
DARRELL
What’s wrong? Where is she?
DARRELL (CONT’D)
Stay right here.
DARRELL
Oh my fucking god...
DARRELL (CONT’D)
I’m gonna get you out of here.
CLAY
It... Was the children.
DARRELL
Get in!
Darrell and Clay hop in the car and Darrell hits the gas.
DARRELL (CONT’D)
Andy I have two child attack
survivors! They’re are losing a lot
of blood. call the hospital and
tell them to prepare -
ANDY
It’s Sister Martha!
DARRELL
I don’t have time to talk! These
people are dying!
ANDY
Listen! I talked to the children!
The orphanage is killing the older
kids and feeding them to the
younger ones! That’s why all the
run aways have a taste for blood!
DARRELL
Fuck me... Why the fuck are they
doing that?
ANDY
You were there! They are short on
supplies and food.
DARRELL
So they killed the old kids and fed
em’ to the young ones? That doesn’t
solve fucking anything!
ANDY
We need to head down there now!
DARRELL
You go, I’ll meet you there after I
drop them off.
ANDY
Alright.
DARRELL
And Andy.
ANDY
Yeah.
88.
DARRELL
Good luck.
CLAY
She’s dying! Hurry up!
BRIAN
Why are they called cowboys?
MIKE
That’s a weird question.
BRIAN
Think about it. They are men. On
horses. Where are the fucking cows
and boys?
MIKE
Well they heard cows.
BRIAN
I’ve seen like every western, not
once do you see any fuckin’ cow
herding. Just horse riding.
MIKE
Yeah, I get it, but this just seems
like a stupid topic.
BRIAN
Look Mike! I’m just trying to make
conversation! It’s not like your
boring ass is trying!
MIKE
I’m not boring!
89.
ANDY
Hey!
Mike and Brian stop their dumb conversation and look at Andy.
ANDY (CONT’D)
The orphanage! We gotta go now!
MIKE
What’s going on?
BRIAN
Yeah, we’re eating here.
ANDY
They are feeding kids to kids!
MIKE
What?
ANDY
I’ll explain in the car, lets go!
Darrell runs into the office with Hellen in his arms. Clay
trails behind clutching his kidney wound.
DARRELL
Help!
NURSE
What happened!
DARRELL
The children.
NURSE
Oh, my...
NURSE (CONT’D)
Code red! Doctor!
90.
DARRELL
Is she going to be ok?
DOCTOR
I.... It doesn't look good.
The doctors wheel Hellen off to the ER. Darrell watches and a
tear rushes down his face. His face quickly turns to anger as
he furrows his brow and walks out of the hospital.
Andy steps out of his cruiser and Brian and Mike step out of
theirs.
BRIAN
So you’re telling us Sister Martha
is feeding orphans to orphans?
ANDY
Yeah, that’s what the kids told me.
MIKE
I call BS. She’s a nun.
ANDY
Well... we’re gonna find out.
There is no response.
MIKE
Maybe everyone is asleep.
CLINK! The lock on the door is undone and the large door
creeks open.
ANDY
Evening Sister Martha, sorry for
the hour.
91.
SISTER MARTHA
Officer Andy? What brings you here
this late? The children are
sleeping.
MIKE
Told you!
ANDY
Yes, again sorry, but we have
reason to believe... the children
may be in harm. May we come in?
SISTER MARTHA
Harm! To the children? What on
earth are you talking about! We
care for the children here!
ANDY
I’ve spoken with some runaways...
They claim to have been fed... well
I’m just gonna say it. They say
you’re feeding kids dead kids.
SISTER MARTHA
Have you lost your mind? This is an
orphanage!
ANDY
Well, I’m just gonna have a look
around if you don’t mind.
ANDY (CONT’D)
Where do you keep the children!
SISTER MARTHA
They’re sleeping don’t wake them!
Andy finds a double closed door and twists the knob. He walks
in to find...
ANDY
I’m so sorry... this was all a big
misunderstanding. I am so sorry.
SISTER MARTHA
I would like you to leave now.
Sister Martha crosses her arms and Andy leaves the room full
of sleeping children in embarrassment.
While walking back to the front door, Mike and Brian meet up
with Sister Martha and Andy.
BRIAN
Did you find anything!
ANDY
Forget about it.
BRIAN
Forget about it! You we’re going on
and on about some murderous
orphanage that we just had to help
you raid and now we are suppose to
forget about it!
ANDY
I was wrong lets just go.
BRIAN
Whatever man, you’re crazy.
Just as Andy passes the kitchen door he makes the gamble and
pushes open the swinging door to find...
93.
As Andy bursts into the room, all 5 nuns stop their chopping
and dart their eyes at Andy who is drop jaw in shock.
MIKE
FUCK!
BRIAN
Oh god!
CHILDREN (O.S.)
Help! Help Us!
Andy looks to his left towards the screams and sees a cage
full of children... all at least 8 years old.
CHILDREN (CONT’D)
Please! They’re gonna eat us! Help!
Andy, full of silent rage, reaches for his gun and before he
can pull it out...
BANG! A .44 Magnum goes off right behind Andy, blowing Mike’s
head clean off.
Andy and Brian cup their ears from the deafening blast and we
see that Sister Martha is holding the gun behind them.
BRIAN
Mike!
ANDY
You cunt!
SISTER MARTHA
Sisters!
94.
BRIAN
...Andy!
Andy has Sister Martha pinned down and is reaching for his
handcuffs.
ANDY
What!
The nuns load up. Each pulling out a rifle and chambering a
round. They line up in unison and take aim.
BRIAN
Get down!
Brian leaps out of the kitchen and into the hall, narrowly
missing the hail storm of .223 Rounds. Bullets destroy the
wall Brian was previously kneeling by.
SISTER MARTHA
Kill em’ sisters!
BRIAN
We gotta go!
BAM! They both jump to their feet and run down the hall just
as the 5 AR-15 wielding nuns enter the hall chasing them down
with bullets.
SISTER MARTHA
Kill the fuckin’ pigs!
One of the 5 nuns helps Sister Martha to her feet while the
other 4 keep shooting as Andy and Brian round a corner. They
take shelter behind the corner and pull out their handguns.
ANDY
(via radio)
I have shots fired!
(MORE)
95.
ANDY (CONT'D)
I repeat shots fired! I need
Immediate back up at St. Marry’s
Orphanage. I repeat, immediate back
up at St. Mary’s orphanage. Over!
Someone replies over the radio, but the nun gunfire drowns it
out.
ANDY (CONT’D)
On 3! 1... 2... 3!
Andy and Brian run out to the other side of the hall, firing
bullets as they do.
BANG! One of the bullets hits one of the nuns right in the
forehead. Killing her instantly.
SISTER MARTHA
NO! Sister Karen!
The other nuns give out sorrowful cries, but keep shooting at
the cops behind the corner. Sister Martha looks pissed as she
walks into the kitchen and comes out with a shotgun and a
green backpack.
BANG! BANG! Sister martha peppers the corner of the hall with
buck shot. The cement is giving out.
BRIAN
We gotta move!
Sister Martha reaches into her green backpack and pulls out a
fucking grenade! She unpins it and tosses it right next to
the two cops. It lands behind Brian.
ANDY
Mother fucker.
Andy charges Brian, propelling the both of them away from the
live grenade but into Sister Martha’s line of fire.
Andy and Brian barge into a nearby room and huddle in the
corner just as...
96.
BRIAN
AHHHH!
BRIAN (CONT’D)
Fuuuuuck!
ANDY
Shit!
BRIAN
We’re fucked man!
ANDY
No! Don’t say that. Hold this
tight. I’ll be right back.
Andy leans against the corner where the remaining 5 nuns are
positioned.
ANDY (CONT’D)
Ok... Let’s do this.
Andy whips around the corner and starts firing off shots.
ANDY (CONT’D)
Fuck you! You catholic cunts!
BAM! Andy his hit in his right shoulder and goes down behind
the other side of the hallway. He takes cover behind the wall
and grasps his shoulder in pain.
ANDY (CONT’D)
AHHH!
97.
ANDY (CONT’D)
Fuck!
Andy rips open his shirt to assess the wound. It looks like a
pass through. He covers the hole with his ripped shirt.
BRIAN (O.S.)
ANDY! Look out!
WHAM! Sister Martha rounds the corner and bashes Andy’s face
with the butt stock of her shotgun.
FADE TO BLACK.
The nuns all laugh at Andy’s fear. Andy’s pants start to get
wet... He’s pissing himself.
BANG! BANG! BANG! 3 gun shots go off before Sister Martha can
go in for another swing. Sister Martha turns around just
as...
DARRELL
Well... this is fucked.
ANDY
Brian!
DARRELL
He’s alive.
ANDY
AHHH!
DARRELL
I have to stop the bleeding.
POLICE (O.S.)
Police! Everyone stand down!
DARRELL
Someone’s a little late.
Andy smiles.
99.
DARRELL (CONT’D)
We’re in here!
MAYOR
And now I would like to take this
time to honor the brave police
officers who put a stop to this...
act of inhumanity.
Andy, Darrell and Brian stand up and the Mayor places metals
around their necks and shakes their hands.
CUT TO:
CUT TO:
JENNY
Oh! Look it’s the kids!
CHELSEA
I wonder if they’re gonna bite

AMANDA

CUT TO:
MAYOR
I know this city has faced a lot in
the past month and I know we all

resentment...
MAYOR (CONT’D)
But we should not blame the
children for the acts of evil
adults.
MAYOR (CONT’D)
These poor children were brain
washed by a group of psychopaths...
these children knew no better.
MAYOR (CONT’D)
But I stand here today happy to say
these children have been
rehabilitated and given a second
chance in this cruel world.
MAYOR (CONT’D)
I have been given a chance to meet
the youngsters and I can tell you
they are not the monsters we have
been led to believe.
The Mayor points to Tyler, the boy with the teddy bear.
MAYOR (CONT’D)
Tyler here wants to be an astronaut
and Maddie here well... I think she
may just be the next mayor.
CUT TO:
Hellen’s eyes fill with pure hatred as she sees the audience
clapping for Maddie.
CUT TO:
MAYOR
These kids -
MAYOR (CONT’D)
Oh! How could I forget! Susie
everyone!
MAYOR (CONT’D)
Why don’t you come over here Susie!
MAYOR (CONT’D)
Oh, do you have a secret for me
Susie?
Susie gives a cute little girl nod and the audience “Ahhs”.
102.
MAYOR (CONT’D)
Alright, what do you want to tell
me?
The Mayor leans down for Susie to whisper in his ear, but
then...
CHOMP! The second the Mayor is within range, Susie Grabs his
head and bites his face.
CUT TO:
CHELSEA
Oh my god!
