  St. Elizabeth

  Money has been pouring in, our viewers and investors do not want this fight to be like the rest.

  Irate -

  MITCH BLACK

  What the hell?

  St. Elizabeth

  This fight needs something special. It must be the most brutal and the best.

  Mitch walks up to St. Elizabeth.

  MITCH BLACK

  Bare and brass knuckle fighting wasn't enough?

  BIG TONY

  I'm afraid not. The investors are inkling for something, well, edgy.

  MITCH BLACK

  Damn what a tough crowd to please.

  But next time you want to interrupt me you do it during our break so we don't have to air this to the viewers as we plan it out.

  St. Elizabeth

  Bless you.

  Mitch turns away.

  Big TONY

  I told you to tell him earlier.

  They both return to the fighter area.

  Mitch turns back to the camera with a sudden smile.

  MITCH BLACK

  (to camera)

  Ladies and gentlemen do we have a special treat for you. There has been a slight change of plans. Due to high demand we will be moving the final fights - come back in an hour - order some pizza, grab ya some beer, take a piss, and enjoy our reruns of all of our fights! Stay tuned for this blood brawl! It's gonna be a GirlFight!

  EXT. LOS DIABLOS - PARKING LOT

  Big Tony talks on his cell.

  Big tony

  Yes sir. Glad I could help.

  He now calls Angel but the toddler answers -

  Big tony

  Hey can you put your baby mama on the phone?

  YOUNG BOY

  (in background)

  Hey baby mama it's for you!

  ANGEL

  I told you to never call me that.

  (to Big Tony)

  What did I tell you about calling me baby mama to our boy?

  Big tony

  Sorry babe. It's funny as hell.

  ANGEL

  That's inappropriate to say in front of our son.

  BIG TONY

  Where are you now?

  ANGEL

  In route to see St. Elizabeth.

  BIG TONY

  Good, good... hey have you seen Jessica by any chance?

  ANGEL

  Jessica? Oh I haven't been able to tell you. That Alexa girl killed your girlfriend a couple days ago. No body has been found.

  BIG TONY

  Yea no bodies are ever found in mob town. When was this?

  ANGEL

  That night, right after you left.

  BIG TONY

  Well shit that's odd. I'll be coming home soon.

  Mitch stares at him discreetly, sneering, around the corner of the club.

  EXT. CEMETERY

  St. Elizabeth asks the Lord for forgiveness, kneeling over Daisy's grave.

  A loud noise startles her.

  She turns to see it's Angel.

  St. Elizabeth

  You know Big Tony doesn't like you around me.

  Angel

  You know I don't give a care what Big Tony thinks.

  St. Elizabeth kisses her on the head.

  St. Elizabeth

  You're my favorite girl. I'm so sorry for bringing you into this crazy city. Ever since the state declared martial law everything has gone all to hell. People are dying over money.

  ANGEL

  Everything's going to be alright.

  St. Elizabeth

  I already know I'm going to Hell... might as well enjoy the ride there.

  INT. JAIL - LIEUTENANT'S OFFICE

  Alexa sits with both Stephens and the Lieutenant.

  ALEXA

  Because I am his wife!

  The officer smirks.

  LIEUTENANT

  Why would he do all this for you? Because he loves you?

  ALEXA

  Because I'm going to be Ohio's next top model... and who wouldn't want to be with the best?

  OFFICER STEPHENS

  You expect us to believe that there are models out there, many who can't wipe their own ass, fighting to the death?

  and she laughs.

  LIEUTENANT

  You betrayed our trust with your "modeling career"... bad blood's still here. Why should we even help you?

  ALEXA

  Lives are in danger. Only you can stop this.

  OFFICER STEPHENS

  Ever since the government declared martial law there's really nothing we can do.

  LIEUTENANT

  Actually... there is. You see, Mitch Black may be a government assassin and it's true, he has federal jurisdiction. But only for public property. Buckeye City is owned and operated by a corporation he holds no stakes in and thus is private property. He hasn't been up to date on his membership fees to our city so we can shut his fights down.

  The officer gives a sneer towards Alexa then stands and glides her hand down her tie as he walks over to a corner.

  OFFICER STEPHENS

  Lieutenant I'm going to have to talk to the witness alone. Give me five minutes.

  Lieutenant

  You've already had your time.

  OFFICER STEPHENS

  It will only be 5 minutes. We're getting somewhere, not worth losing the lead now.

  Lieutenant

  Okay, but you got only 5 minutes.

  She exits carefully leaving the door jarred without being noticeable.

  OFFICER STEPHENS

  Thank you.

  She approaches Alexa, sitting right in her face.

  OFFICER STEPHENS

  Listen to me. The state has cut our budget. Crime has decreased, with all of these kids running off to college in hopes of a better future. Missing person cases bring in a lot of money, yes, but Mitch's fight is bringing in the big cheese... And your husband doesn't like traitors.

  Alexa spits in her face.

  She pulls her gun and points it at her.

  OFFICER STEPHENS

  The way I see it, you're resisting arrest and shot me with my own gun.

  She shoots herself in the foot.

  Shouting fills the outside hallway as the officers run closer to the room.

  OFFICER STEPHENS

  And I was just defending myself against a crazy lunatic like you.

  Immediately the door opens.

  The Lieutenant and officers - Rick and Steve draw their guns on Officer Stephens.

  OFFICER STEPHENS

  This is one crazy chick - she shot me as she resisted arrest.

  LIEUTENANT

  Can it Stephens, we heard the whole thing. I am removing you from the force and placing you under immediate arrest for public corruption. You're one sick puppy.

  OFFICER STEPHENS

  Public corruption? Are you kidding me? We're a mob town - we're all corrupt here!

  LIEUTENANT

  Even the mafia has its standards.

  The officers arrest Officer Stephens and escort her out of the room.

  The Lieutenant walks up to Alexa.

  LIEUTENANT

  One of our informants informed us about this illegal model death fight. None of the money is coming to the city, only private investors. We're willing to offer you redemption and we need your help to capture your husband.

  She smiles -

  ALEXA

  One more thing... they have your daughter.

  LIEUTENANT

  Alexandra? Oh my little princess, mommy's coming! This is all my fault!

  She runs out in a mad rush.

  JADE VS. TIFFANY

  EXT. LOS DIABLOS - BAR - LATER THAT NIGHT

  Big Tony and St. Elizabeth collect empty beer bottles around the bar and table. They throw them into two crates and smash them into glass shards. Two sets of hand wraps and two bowls of amber sit beside these crates.

  Mitch leads as the girls follow.

  They stop in front of t
he bar.

  St. Elizabeth finally returns to this fight.

  MITCH BLACK

  Let's get these girls ready! Give the fans what they want!

  Big Tony and St. Elizabeth aggressively wrap each girls' hands. Dipping the top of the hands into the amber then glass.

  Both girls stare each other down, more eager than ever to win.

  EXT. THE STREET - LATER

  The police speed through the street with sirens blaring.

  EXT. LOS DIABLOS - FIGHT CAGE

  The girls stance.

  RuSSELL BROWN

  (to camera)

  Ladies and gentlemen we have returned to GirlFight! What a day of action it has been! Girls fighting, killing... do we have a treat for you! This fight will be fought using the ancient art of Taipei. Each girl has broken glass around their fists. There will be blood, there may even be guts, but it's all about girls killing each other's ass with glass! Girls fight!

  The crowd's roars overwhelm the arena.

  The girls start the fight with multiple jabs. Though fast paced, they each block the other's attacks. When they come close they wrestle and shove each other away. They begin throwing punches, never connecting. At even close encounters they intentionally slow down. They swing to allow the other girl to miss.

  Mitch notices this and throws out a knife, catching the attention of the two women and of the excited crowd.

  They panic.

  Jade grabs it first and stabs it into Tiffany's side.

  Tiffany stumbles and falls to her knees, pulling the knife out of her side.

  EXT. STREET

  Steve drives a speeding police car with sirens blazing as Alexa sits beside Rick in the back seat.

  RICK

  Just to think your husband really thought we wanted you dead. He forgot to pay for his special permits to host these death fights.

  ALEXA

  Yea, he's definitely the dumbest idiot I know.

  RICK

  You're such a wonderful asset to this department.

  ALEXA

  Awe, thanks. Feels good to be used and abused.

  EXT. LOS DIABLOS - FIGHT CAGE

  The crowd is going wild.

  This part of the fight pumps more adrenaline - now the first few times they hit each other with the glass fists and realize it also cuts them each time. Equally matches, fast and hard hits at this stage of the fight. Lots of upper hand reversals. Arm drag takedowns, kicking in face when down, maybe a roundhouse or two kicks. A couple knees. No pulling of the hair any more - these girls seriously streetfight. Leg grabs and scissor takedowns.

  Jade double punches her in the face. Then double-spin punches her in the face, knocking her to the floor. Jade jumps on top of her and they wrestle. Jade notices the knife on the ground and grabs it.

  Tiffany tries to stop her.

  Jade grabs her by the throat and begins to choke her. She raises the knife above her head and stabs Tiffany straight into the heart. She cries over a lifeless Tiffany while pushing the knife in more.

  Mitch starts to applaud as do the others.

  MITCH BLACK

  (sarcastically)

  Congratulations. You won.

  (serious)

  We don't represent models. I'm just looking for the toughest broad to kill my wife - who leads behind me as the word's deadliest assassin.

  The crowd chants "Stupid girl" and remains quiet until the next fight.

  Jade

  What the... ?

  MITCH BLACK

  I've been following your fighting for years. I figure, if you're as good a fighter as they say, you'd win this tournament and kill Alexa.

  JADE

  Why didn't you just do it yourself?

  MITCH BLACK

  Kind of lazy of me, I know. But hey, that's none my business.

  JADE

  So this was all an elaborate setup to kill your wife? When did it all begin? Ohio's Next Top Model?

  MITCH BLACK

  I needed to do something new, something creative. I had nothing to do with getting the fashion show here, some stupid Lieutenant on the police force who wanted to please her daughter done that. Why waste the perfect opportunity to make money on stupid girls willing to do anything to get to the top? Thankfully I got smart, money smart, and decided to turn it into an investment. I knew when Ryan would tell Alexa no, she'd flip and go crazier than she already is, stalk and hunt all of you down. I convinced Jacki to sponsor the fashion show in Devil Deviants' name, so the models would find this place. From there she became an investor, by the force of Alexa, and Big Tony and St. Elizabeth agreed to tag along and earn a share. I then made friends with a deadbeat sissy cop, Rick, who needed his wife dead - she was an undercover terrorist and done the mayor dirty. He assured me there would be no problems so long as I carried through with my end of the bargain.

  JADE

  Is there anything you don't have your hands tied in?

  BURINING RING OF FIRE

  EXT. LOS DIABLOS - PARKING LOT

  A squad car parks outside.

  EXT. LOS DIABLOS - FIGHT CAGE

  An onlookers shout "Police" and the crowd disperses.

  Big Tony joins the crowd.

  St. Elizabeth

  That two-timing Rick!

  RusseLL BROWN

  Don't worry - my federal jurisdiction overrules here.

  St. Elizabeth and Mitch go out to negotiate.

  Jade follows.

  Rick and Steve get out of the car, guns drawn.

  Alexa follows.

  Steve walks up to Jade.

  Jade

  You're about a day too late.

  She shakes her head as cops examine the bodies.

  Then they approach Mitch and St. Elizabeth.

  RusseLL BROWN

  Can I help you?

  RICK

  Freeze, get on the ground. I'm not playing.

  STEVE

  Get on the ground he said. Now.

  St. Elizabeth

  What seems to be the problem officers? We were just holding our daily prayer and worship services.

  Rick

  You forgot to pay off the city's police force!

  Steve

  And you involved the Lieutenant's daughter in all of this!

  Mitch BROWN

  Oh your sugar baby? She's the one who convinced her boyfriend, Ryan to host his shitty model fashion show.

  STEVE

  What?

  Super angry -

  Jade

  Sugar baby?

  STEVE

  Jade, he doesn't mean that.

  Mitch BROWN

  Oh come on. You've had the hots for the boss's daughter for a while now.

  JADE

  You told me we were gonna get married and have a family!

  MITCH BLACK

  There goes that wedding! A shame too, because your first wife didn't last long.

  Pissed, Jade punches Steve in the face, then screams at the top of her lungs.

  Mitch BROWN

  Cut that shit out. Nobody hears you out here.

  Alexa

  She was so easy. Great at dealing international arms, couldn't fight though.

  Rick

  What, what? Bridgette was married? She wanted to move away with me.

  Mitch BROWN

  Well this escalated quickly.

  Steve and Rick point their guns at each other.

  Alexa stands besides Jade, smiling, saying Hi.

  Steve

  She was my wife. What about our brothers in blue?

  Rick

  She never told me she was married. You never told me you were married.

  Alexa pulls out a concealed gun and blows Steve away as St. Elizabeth assassinates Rick.

  Immediately another speeding police car stops, sirens blazing. It's the Lieutenant rushing out of her car.

  LiEUTENANT

  Everyone freeze! Put down your weapons! Mitch Black, you sick prick, where's Ale
xandra?

  Alexa

  Go look in the corner by the trash.

  EXT. LOS DIABLOS

  Alexa, Mitch, Jade, and St. Elizabeth follow the Lieutenant who spots Alexandria's corpse in the heap of trash.

  She runs over to hold her in her arms.

  Alexa stops in front of her, pointing a gun at her.

  She looks up -

  LieuTENANT

  Wha-? Why?

  ALEXA

  You should have been a better mother.

  Alexa shoots her in the face.

  RuSSELL BROWN

  In your face! Yea!

  (to Alexa)

  Glad you finally came through.

  ALEXA

  Screw with the best and you'll die like the rest.

  MITCH BLACK

  And I agree. Jade, she's all yours.

  Mitch begins to walk out of the club.

  ALEXA

  (to Jade)

  One minute my dear.

  Alexa shoots Mitch (off-screen) as Jade flinches in shock and St. Elizabeth stands frightened, aware she's next.

  ALEXA

  Consider that a divorce!

  Alexa begins to laugh and twitch in the face with a slight jerk in the neck.

  St. Elizabeth turns to the camera -

  St. Elizabeth

  Ladies and gentlemen, our final fight for the evening, our champion Alexa will now do battle with Jade...

  Alexa points the gun at St. Elizabeth.

  ALEXA

  This is your cue to exit. I'll take it from here.

  St. Elizabeth runs away unharmed.

  She then turns the gun on Jade.

  ALEXA

  So, you're trying to take my spotlight? I have fought for years to be the best and I'll be damned if some MMA freak will take that away from me.

  EXT. STREET - A COUPLE BLOCKS FROM LOS DIABLOS

  Big Tony runs towards a waiting car with the passenger door open to him.

  Angel waits inside.

  Big TONY

  Ah baby am I glad to see you.

  Angel

  Long day?

  BIG TONY

  Yea but we're going to be even richer with these fights and Max dead. We will never have to worry about money again.

  ANGEL

  I love you baby.

  BIG TONY

  I love you too.

  They kiss.

  They drive away.

  EXT. STREET - A BLOCK'S LENGTH FROM LOS DIABLOS

  St. Elizabeth, out of breath, runs frantically away from the club.

  She stops to find Mitch laying on the ground, shot in the leg.

  St. Elizabeth

  Jesus Christ, you know how to find the crazy ones. She almost got us killed. How well did we do?

  MITCH BLACK

  The fights netted 20 million.

  St. Elizabeth

  That's fantastic.

  Mitch pulls out another gun.

  MITCH BLACK

  Not that you'll ever benefit from it.

  St. Elizabeth turns to get shot once in the head, twice in the heart and falls dead.

  RuSSELL BROWN

  See you in Hell. God bless.
