MOM & SON ESQ. P.I. - "PILOT"
18.
JOAN (pause, quietly) As opposed to where we are. Which is nowhere.
They both fume. INT./EXT. TODD’S CAR - 1:34 A.M.
Todd is tired but focused - and Joan is bleary . She has reclined her chair, taken off her coat and earrings. TODD Who was having a baby? On the phone. JOAN A baby on the phone? Oh, oh. She hasn’t had it yet, Beth, the
investigator on my current case. You remember my sorority sister, Eleanor. TODD No. JOAN And her daughter, Kim. TODD No. JOAN Todd . Kim . She went to a private high school. We tried setting you up back then but she thought you were - odd - and you were busy pining for that “Gretchen,” with the face. Well, Kim is now in a relationship with a - non- binary? Un-gendered? Person ? And she’s been accused of murdering her boss. TODD Everything you just said is insane. JOAN He sexually assaulted her, the boss. She didn’t report it, and then at the office Christmas party he tried to assault her again. So she left, she walked out, and took the bus home. Although that’s been difficult to prove.... Anyway, the boss leaves the party a few hours later, goes to the rooftop of a nearby parking garage... And is shot to death sitting in the driver’s seat of his car.
