The document is a screenplay for a short film titled "Mirage". It follows two detectives investigating the murder of Richard Price, who was found shot dead in an elevator. Their main suspect is Dom Poole, who was seen leaving the building around the time of the murder. In an interrogation scene, Dom claims he was just making a pizza delivery to the building and encountered Richard by chance. However, the lead detective produces evidence questioning Dom's alibi. Flashbacks show Dom and Richard meeting in the building, with Richard giving Dom packages to transport and mentioning he needs money to secure his brother's release.

Detective 2 (Smirks):
You could say that. He was found shot dead in an elevator
with a single shot to the brain. That’s pretty much the
basics but everything you’ll need to know will be in that
case file.
Detective 1:
Alright, leave it to me.
Slowly fades away as Detective 1 is reading the file.
Sharply cuts to Dom being placed in handcuffs in a park.

FADE OUT
FDE IN, INT - INTERROGATION ROOM AFTERNOON (1PM)
Cuts to Detective 1 walking inside of the interrogation
room. The room is very dark and dimly lit by one light
bulb which dangles over the table which Dom and Detective
1 will sit at opposite ends at. The room is slightly
smokey. Detective 1 sits down and places his file onto
the table as well as his coffee. Dom has a scar on his
right cheek. He pulls a carton of cigarettes out from his
inside left blazer pocket. He opens the packet and offers
one to Dom which he refuses. They are then placed back in
his pocket. The room is very uneasy. Detective 1 presses
record on a tape recorder.
Detective 1:
So, Dom Poole, Richard Price is found dead in an elevator
and you’re seen straight after leaving the building he
was found dead in. Explain what you were doing.

shift.
Detective 1:

up?
Detective 1 slides a picture of him leaving the building
onto the table.

deliver food.
Detective 1:
Fair enough, what was your relationship was like with
Richard?

We return to Dom & Richard talking. They are speaking but
it is muted so Dom can narrate the scene. Subtitles will
be used so people can understand what they are saying.
Richard has a bag with him and passes Dom a carrier bag
with two parcels inside. The mute conversation goes as
follows:
Richard: There’s two kilos inside. Have the money by
Friday.
Dom: Alright cool.
Richard: There’s 10 more I need to move to get my brother
back.
(Narrating) Dom:
