INT. UNMARKED COP CAR
Two cops are in the car outside a rundown building. Captain MIKE CAROWAY and detective TONY VARTIN are reviewing files over a.m. cups of coffee. MIKE is showing a file to TONY – a picture of a Dominatrix.
TONY
This her?
MIKE takes a sip of coffee.
MIKE (V.O.)
Yep. Sarah Gill. Or as her Minions call
her, Mistress S.
TONY (not believing him)
She’s a cop?
MIKE
Tough one. Like her father. Jim. He was my partner. Ten years. Killed in the line of duty.
TONY
So, what? This girl got daddy issues?
MIKE
Actually, she was one of our top cop graduates. Made detective. A year earlier than you.
MIKE smiles at TONY.
MIKE
Since then she’s been involved in deep
cover work.
TONY pulls out pictures of victims.
TONY
So what does she know about our dead
businessman, star college athlete, and esteemed university dean?
MIKE
Won’t know ‘til we go in there. But
before we do, remember, this is her den. Her rules. We do not blow her cover. Got it?
TONY (smirks)
Yeah.
MIKE
I’m serious. This is her world. We need to respect it.
TONY
Fine.
MIKE
Ok then, let’s leather up.
MIKE holds up a leather outfit to TONY.
INT. DEN OF MISTRESS S
The two cops are in full leather body suits as they enter the den of Mistress S. In the middle of the room is Mistress S. She is wearing a militant styled leather outfit – complete with the steel tip boots and a whip. Next to her are two men wearing leather masks with ball gags.
MISTRESS S.
On your knees, slaves.
All of the men obey except for TONY. He rolls his eyes and looks at Mike.
MISTRESS S. (shouts)
No talking!
She hits TONY hard with a whip. He stubbornly obeys her. In the corner of his eye he sees the men with the ball gags playing with themselves. MISTRESS S. goes over to them.
MISTRESS S. (whispers)
Leo. Joseph. Playtime has not started yet.
She smacks them with the whip hard.
MISTRESS S.
Followers. We have two new slaves. A moment while I indoctrinate them into our humble fold.
The two ball-gag men get up to leave.
TONY
Finally. This leather is making me chafe like a…
She smacks TONY again with the whip.
MISTRESS S. (shouts)
No talking!
TONY sees MIKE is quiet so he is too.
MISTRESS S.
Slave. Speak.
TONY is confused, before MIKE speaks.
MIKE
Let me first apologize for showing up like this. Something’s come up.
TONY (interrupts)
We got another bod…
She slaps him with the whip.
MISTRESS (shouts)
Out! Out of my den! NOW! Disrespect is not tolerated. EVER!
INT. HALLWAY OF BUILDING
MIKE and TONY walk out as the door slams behind them.
TONY
Glad that’s over.
MIKE
Actually Tony, it’s just begun.
TONY (angry)
You can’t expect us to go back in there and be a part of this…this place.
MIKE
No, not at all.
TONY
Good.
MIKE
Just you.
TONY (angry)
What?
MIKE
This is a one-man operation.
MIKE walks towards the exit.
TONY
But she hates me. I can’t go back in there.
MIKE
Guess you’ll have to figure out how to make it right…slave. MIKE leaves TONY.
TONY (to himself)
Great. Just great.
