The document describes two detectives, A and B, finding a dead body on a beach and calling it into their chief. It then shifts to detective James White being called to the scene by Richard Pascal, where another dead body has been found, making it the fourth victim that month. White finds a lighter at the scene with notches marking the four victims.
1. Burned
_____________________________________________________________________
Outro, beach, day; A single dead body lays on the sand, for a moment all is still,
then two people walk in to shot and stop at the body.
Detective A: so what do you think happened?
Detective B: Hell knows, probably some phyco getting his kicks. Makes me damn
sick!
Detective A: We’re gunna have to call this in… get the chief.
Detective B: it’s happened again.
Cut to chief for quick scene then him as non-diegetic phone voice over next scene
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Into, day, bedroom; sleeping, hangs half out of his duvet begins to moan as his
phone rings, tired, he falls out of bed sighs and answersthe phone.
James white: (indecisive mumbling)
Richard Pascal: (on phone) Get your ass out a bed; we got a scene at west court
beachfront.
James white: hold on... I’ll be one minute
Then we implement jump cuts of him getting dressed and grabbing clothing from
the wardrobe, reminiscent of a montage.
White gets out of car at the scene where all the by-standers on looking
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Walking from the car and treads on a lighter, picks it up and looks seriously at it
Richard Pascal: White, what took you so long, its been the fourth one this month
for Christ-sake.
James white: fourth?
Lifts the lighter up to the camera and shows the notches in the lighter.
