Script/Screenplay for 'Take a closer look...'.

FADE IN:
EXT. AN OPEN STREET- EARLY DAY
A quiet street with little to no activity.
A few people walk by clearly talking with one another but show no interest in anything other than themselves.
KAITLYN walks past them at decent speed, looking around at her surroundings as she is on patrol.
She is wearing a lab coat as she makes her way to her work place.
She is drawn to a sudden crackling noise coming from her radio and draws it closer to her ear.
A manly voice begins to inform Kaitlyn about a case.
MATT
(Monotone in voice)
Murder on Black Street…
(Crackling on the radio)
Kaitlyn to the scene of the crime, we are sending some of our best men to meet you there.
(The radio cuts and silence falls)
Kaitlyn begins to move quickly out of the scene to reach the crime.


CUT TO:
EXT. A SECLUEDED FIELD- EARLY DAY
We follow Kaitlyn as she moves toward the dead body.
She is acknowledged by two police officers who simply nod to allow her passage.
The two police men stand guard over the scene but allow Kaitlyn to do her job without disruption.
Kaitlyn examines the body first to find a gun shot on the body close to the left shoulder and takes a swab.
Upon taking the swab she notices a bullet still stuck in the shoulder and carefully picks it out, placing it into a sealed bag.
Kaitlyn takes a few more moments to examine the scene and finds nothing else that is noticeable.
Kaitlyn walks up to the two police guards and taps one on the shoulder lightly.
He turns to her to speak
POLICE OFFICER
We all done here?


KAITLYN
I’ve got what I need, nothing else left to see.
The police officer nods and walks towards his partner ready to leave and begins to move.
KAITLYN
One of you should stay, the killer may return.
One stays put whilst the other leads Kaitlyn toward the car.
The scene ends with Kaitlyn slamming the car door shut.


CUT TO:
INT. A SMALL OFFICE SPACE- DAYTIME
Kaitlyn enters to see CHRISTIAN and ARTHUR the newest additions in the police force.
She sees Christian searching for something but takes no notice upon approaching him.
KAITLYN
(Jokily)
Being useless as usual are we boys?
CHRISTIAN
(Quite harsh)
Hey! So were the useless ones huh? We’re out there saving lives while you poke at the dead!


KAITLYN
My relationship with the dead is still better than the one I shared with you!


Arthur sits as he watches the poison the two spit between them.


CHRISTAIN
Whatever! Crawl back to your lab where you can’t bother anyone, it would be best for everyone if you pissed off!


KAITLYN
(Spiteful)
For once I’ll do as you ask, purely because some of us have jobs to do. Don’t think you’ve won though, some of us change this city, others… well…


Kaitlyn looks down at Christian as she speaks her piece.


Kaitlyn begins to walk away from the two but pauses as she hears Christian.


CHRISTIAN
Yeah well at least I have friends, the only company you have is the dead.


KAITLYN
Yeah because they don’t whine like little girls unlike some.


We hear Christian huff and puff about her last comment.
CHRISTIAN
(Shouts)
Fuck you!
Kaitlyn walks back over to Christian.


KAITLYN
Oh shut up give me your gun you little woos, or do I have to beat it off you?


Christian hands her the gun huffing and puffing.


CHRISTIAN
Fine but don’t flatter yourself, I’m only giving it to you because… well because you know…


KAITLYN
Whatever…


Kaitlyn walks off with her middle finger pointed towards Christian.
CHRISTIAN
She just grind my fucking gears…
Christian walks out of shot.


CUT TO:
INT. A SMALL LAB- DAYTIME
Kaitlyn walks through the door and sets her evidence down next to each other, microscope already set and ready.
She grabs a cotton bud and begins work on the blood swab she took to identify the victim.
She gathers as much as possible from the swab and prepares a slide to observe the blood.
She takes the notes on her findings in a small note book and continues onward to the bullet.


Kaitlyn moves the gun out of her space to the side temporarily.


KAITLYN
Why did I ask for this damn thing?


She uses a separate bud to swipe the bullet and rolls the tip of the bud across a separate slide.
She notices it as a police bullet by the engravings and appears worried.


KAITLYN
(Quietly to herself)
Shit! He’s one of us…


She takes a look at the barrel of the gun matching the engravings of the bullet to Christian’s exact gun.
KAITLYN
I knew he was a bit off today.
She begins to exit the lab to escape Christian at the work place.


CUT TO:
INT. A SMALL OFFICE SPACE- LATER IN THE DAY


Kaitlyn is moving quickly through the office and draws Christian’s attention.
Christian notices Kaitlyn’s jumpy stance and moves towards her.


CHRISTIAN
(Questioning)
Where ya goin? We’ve still got a couple hours ‘till the end of the day.


KAITLYN
(Distressed)
Yeah well I’ve been… called out on another errand. So I’ll see you later?


Christian nods as Kaitlyn takes her leave. He turns to Arthur not far from him.


CHRISTIAN
She knows…


ARTHUR
(Concerned)
What are we gonna do?


CHRISTIAN
She knows too much what else are we to do?


CUT TO:
EXT. AN OPEN STREET- LATER IN THE DAY


Kaitlyn is moving quickly but cautiously taking a few moments occasionally to look around.
Arthur is following her using building comers as cover.
We hear and see cars passing the two, Kaitlyn unaware of Arthur.
She walks to a more closed street but hears loud footsteps making her aware of Arthur’s presence.
This triggers a chase between the two leading down narrow alley ways until returning to the field she was first called to, to investigate the murder.
We see Christian now stood over two bodies: the original and the police officer that was guarding the scene.
Christian takes his gun out.
He toys with his gun as Arthur arrives behind Kaitlyn aiming the gun at her.


CHRISTIAN
It’s a shame, I actually started to like you, considered you as… something again.


KAITLYN
(Strong, hurtful)
People like you and I can’t even get along, you are a murderer for fuck sake. I uncover you, sorry to break it to ya but we were never gonna fix what we had. Both in this life and the next!


CHRISTIAN
Technically I’m not the murderer being that Arthur shot the poor bugger.


KAITLYN
You or Arthur, I couldn’t really give a shit. For me, the dead is still better company, at least they can’t stab you in the back.


CHRISTIAN
I really can’t make you change your mind can I? Well it’s your lo-


Christian is interrupted by Arthur firing his gun, killing Kaitlyn.


FADES TO BLACK


CUT TO:
INT.  A HOUSE- EARLY MORNING
Kaitlyn is now awake and jumps from her slumber.
Kaitlyn is walking down the stairs getting ready to leave, leaving her house through the front door.


CUT TO:
EXT. ORIGINAL OPEN STREET.
A quiet street with little to no activity.
A few people walk by clearly talking with one another but show no interest in anything other than themselves.
KAITLYN walks past them at decent speed, looking around at her surroundings as she is on patrol.
She is wearing a lab coat as she makes her way to her work place.
She is drawn to a sudden crackling noise coming from her radio and draws it closer to her ear.
A manly voice begins to inform Kaitlyn about a case.
MATT
(Monotone in voice)
Murder on Black Street…
(Crackling on the radio)
Kaitlyn to the scene of the crime, we are sending some of our best men to meet you there.
(The radio cuts and silence falls)
We leave Kaitlyn to relive this moment continuously.


CREDITS BEGIN.
