1 EXT. HOLLYWOOD HILLS MANSION - NIGHT 1
A Toyota parks and five teenagers get out and walk towards
us, down a quiet residential street in the Hollywood Hills.
One of them, a slightly drunk girl in a pale blue Juicy sweat
suit stumbles.
DRUNK GIRL (NICKI)
(laughing)
Shit.
GIRL 1 (REBECCA)
C'mon. Hurry up.
They come to a gated home. A girl that seems to be the
leader, leans down and pulls on an unraveling part of the
bottom of the chain link fence.
She rolls under, and the others follow.
A loud song kicks in as they put their sweatshirt hoods up in
unison and turn around and walk backwards toward the house.
They've done this before, they have it down.
One checks under the mat of the front door, we follow them as
they go around to the back, checking doors, and find a back
window open.
A guy gives Girl 1 a lift up, we see her bright underwear as
she climbs inside into a laundry room.
She runs around to open a side door for the rest, and they
slip inside.
Once inside, we follow REBECCA into a bedroom dressing area.
She is the 17 yr-old Korean-American ring-leader, who is
totally cool and composed.
She looks over her shoulder at the others with a raised eye-
brow.
REBECCA
Let's go shopping!
And she pulls open the closet door.
CLOSE UP: grabbing Louis Vuitton bags.
A drawer opens with a few Rolexes, that are scooped in to a
Louis Vuitton duffle bag.

mirror posing, then gets back to it.

Titles intercut with montage of Mug shots of attractive
teenagers and news clips.

kids' approach to the house walking backwards with hoods up.
Pan across a row of Louboutin platform heels.
We see the glittery view of Hollywood at night.

2C EXT. COURTHOUSE 2C
NICKI, 17, pretty brunette with long hair, sunglasses and lip
gloss talks to a reporter:
NICKI
(Emotional)
I am a firm believer in Karma, and
I think this situation was
attracted into my life as a huge
learning lesson for me to grow and
expand as a spiritual human being.
I see myself being like an Angelina
Jolie, but even stronger, pushing
even harder for the universe and
peace and for the health of the
planet. I want to lead a huge *
charity organization. I want to *
lead a country for all I know. *

nips at her heels.
LAURIE
Girls! Time for your aderall! Let's
go!
Emily, 13, sleepily sits down for some cereal.
EMILY
Mom, they got home so late last
night.
Laurie with wide eyes and a forced calm voice answers her.
LAURIE
That's none of your concern, I'll
handle it.

Laurie tries to sound cheerful and in control.
LAURIE
Let's have our morning prayer and
then we'll meet in the living room
at eight to start today's lesson on
the laws of attraction, OK?
They join hands as Laurie enthusiastically leads them in her
prayer.
LAURIE (CONT'D)
My chief aim in life is to
continually strive to express my
greatest potential as a spiritual
human being and contributor to the
greater good for our planet and all
those who live on it. I know that
I have the ability to reach my aim
in life, by persistent action and
that the thoughts of my mind will
reproduce themselves in outward
physical reality.
I will channel my energy towards my
aim in life with graciousness and
loving kindness to myself and
others.
LAURIE AND GIRLS (IN UNISON)
And so it is.
LAURIE
Wahoo!

`R'. She puts it around her neck and clasps it as she looks

MARC (O.S.)
I think the biggest problem was
after the Audrina thing-nothing
happened-it gave Rebecca that self-
boost that, oh, this is okay. I can
get away with this. And I think
her projecting that onto me made me
think that it was going to be okay.

REBECCA
Yes.
DETECTIVE
Why do you think we're here?
REBECCA
My friend Marc was arrested and he *
called me from jail and told me the
police had done a search warrant at
his home.
DETECTIVE
Do you know why?
REBECCA
I've been watching TMZ and they've
been saying I'm a `person of
interest' in these burglaries.
DETECTIVE
Were you involved in any of the
burglaries to these celebrities?
REBECCA
No, I wasn't.

from any of those burglaries in
this residence?

REBECCA
If I tell you where everything is,
would you let me go? Hypothetically
let's say I may know where this
property is located and who has it,
how could that help me?
DETECTIVE
The detectives on this case are
trying to recover hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of
property for the victims and I'm
sure they would say if your
cooperation helped them locate it.
REBECCA
I want to help you out, but I don't
want to do anything without talking
to my attorney.

table with pot and a pipe.

shows, he's been in the industry
forever....
KATE
And how is Sam related?
NICKI
We've adopted her, we met in ballet
class when we were little.
LAURIE
I was friends with her mother--
NICKI
Mom, this is my interview. I met
her when my parents divorced. Now
she lives with us, my mom's home
schooled us all for a while.
LAURIE
The philosophy of `The Secret',
it's based on the law of
attraction, but my great-
grandmother and grandmother both
studied this philosophy. It's man's
relationship to the Divine, that's
what energy science means.
NICKI
Since I was young I learned about
every religion.
KATE
So, Sam was in your ballet class,
did she have parents?
NICKI
She had a dysfunctional background,
we both did...
LAURIE
And I met her mom--
NICKI
Can I talk please?! The reason we
related so well is my dad is a
recovering alcoholic and Sam's mom
is..

she was on the verge--
NICKI
Please! I told you that if you're
going to be here you had to be
quiet! That's why I didn't want you
here because you talk!
KATE
So, basically you took her in.
NICKI
Yes, we took her in about 6 years
ago.
SHANNON
But let's get back to Nicki.
KATE
So Adam here told me you do charity
work.
NICKI
Yes, we do a lot of stuff through
our church, it's Agape Church.
LAURIE
It's the religious science
philosophy being taught at Agape
Church.
NICKI
My other sister, Gabby is on a trip

NICKI
Uh, I can't remember exactly which
country... We do bake sales and
feeding the homeless, that kind of
stuff.
KATE
Ok, so it's a little bit of a
disconnect with these positive
pursuits and what's happening now.
ADAM
Nicki, I don't want you to answer
that comment.
NICKI
I think that I'm a firm... I have a
good statement to say.
KATE
She can speak generally.
NICKI
I'm not gonna speak about the case,
what I was going to say is that I'm
a firm believer in karma and I
think this situation was attracted
into my life as a huge learning
lesson for me to grow and expand as
a spiritual human being.
Nicki is getting emotional as she speaks, her voice quivers.
NICKI (CONT'D)
I don't think the universe chose a
better person than me because from
this it's not just affecting me,
it's affecting the media and
everyone and I think I'm meant to
bring truth to all this....I
believe that I am an old soul.
LAURIE
Yes, she is.
SHANNON

a disconnect, that there were
circumstances that happened but
Nicki herself continued to stay on
her plane despite the tumultuous
experiences happening.
KATE
What's your goal or life plan if
you have one?
NICKI
I do, I think my journey is to be a
leader and push for peace and for
the health of our planet--
Nicki starts to get teary eyed.
SHANNON
Nicki has expressed to me a lot of
her humanitarianism.
NICKI
It's my main goal. God didn't give
me these talents and what I look
like to sit around and just be a
model or famous. I want to do
something people notice, that's why
I'm studying business, so I can be
a leader and take a stand for
people.

128 INT. LAWYER'S OFFICE - DAY 128
Over Kate's shoulder, we see Marc speaking into her tape
recorder, with his lawyer at his side.
MARC
I met Rebecca in school after I
moved back and went to Indian
Hills, I went there because I had a
lot of absences. I didn't want to
go to school, I had a lot of self-
loathing and anxiety issues, I felt
that I was ugly...
KATE
You're not ugly.

128 CONTINUED: 128
MARC
I know I'm not ugly, but I never
thought I was an A-list looking
guy.I Went to Indian Hills to learn
and be with my peers, I felt so
self-conscious I didn't look as
good as everyone else.
KATE
And now you're a star.
Marc laughs.
MARC
On my Facebook page recently I had
800 friends requests, I accepted
them all, I didn't even look at
them, then I noticed someone had
created a fan page for me. If it
had been for something I had done
to help the community or benefit
something I'd love it, but it's
just kind of awkward for me that
these people are loving me for
something that's looked down on in
society... It's kinda showing that
America has some sick fascination
with a Bonnie and Clyde kind of
thing.

people were watching the story and
they were showing the surveillance

with her manager to tell her who I
believed the people were who robbed
her house... and eventually when
I'm able to tell my story people
will know the truth.
