CUT TO. INT-S&M CLUB HELL: Inside one can witness all the usual activities, whipping, nipple twisting etc... The camera moves closer to the floor. One can see three pairs of black shoes walk through the crowd. The camera moves up to see the backs of their heads. The people nearest to the men in suits part to make way. The men move to a flight of stairs that leads to a balconey. Camera moves to see the men's faces. It's Agents Jones, Brown and Johnson.

CUT TO. INT-S&M CLUB, BALCONEY: The Agents arrive at the top. Three burley, leather clad men stop them.

MAN#1

He is not seeing anyone today.

MAN#2

Take a hike suit.

JONES

You gentlemen do not want this kind of trouble.

MAN#3

This place is all about trouble.

BROWN

Then we're facilitaing the most trouble.

INT-BALCONEY: The Agents reach into their coats and pull out a large calibre automatic weapon each. The Agents fire the weapons into the bouncers before they have time to react. The bouncers fall down in three seperate bloody messes. The crowd below stops thier partying and looks up. The Agents turn to several red sofas with people on them, and one man in particular. The man prepares to take a sip of a martini when Jones fires his gun at the glass. Time slows as Jones puts his hand out and stops the bullet from entering the man's throat. Time resumes. The bullet falls into the man's lap, as do the shattered remains of his glass and drink. The man brushes the mess of and stands up. This is the MEROVINGIAN. Seated beside him is his scantly clad but exceptionally beautiful wife PERSEPHONIE. The Agents walk closer to Merovingian, he appears to be a little concerned. He looks down to the crowd, the music is still playing.

MEROVINGIAN

Go back to your indescretions.

JONES

We're here to talk.

MEROVINGIAN

I don't make deals with men I don't want anything from.

JONES

We don't make deals at all.

BROWN

You do as we say.

MEROVINGIAN

Not in my little hole in the program.

JOHNSON

It is listed in our directives to terminated all exiles. As far as we know, you fall into the category of an exile.

PERSEPHONIE

My love, they seem to take their duties quite seriously. If I were you, I would do as they say.

MEROVINGIAN

Perhaps you're right. Afterall, I haven't had a good laugh since the days of Neo. Come boys, let's talk.
