MOM & SON ESQ. P.I. - "PILOT"
19.
TODD Oh . (beat) But she didn’t do it. JOAN No. No forensic evidence, no gunpowder, nothing. But the D.A. found text messages on her phone that said “I COULD KILL HIM.” And she did own a gun once, but lost it 2 years ago when she moved back in with her parents. In any event, we’re trying to nail down some witnesses who saw her on the bus before the case resumes - on Monday. TODD Resumes? What’d it stop? JOAN Yes. The State Prosecutor fell down the stairs at home and gave himself a serious concussion, so the judge granted them a two week continuance. TODD He has a “serious concussion” and he’s coming back to work - in two weeks? JOAN Yes. TODD (beat) That’s quick. I’ve tracked down a few concussed people and if you’ve really got one, you’re on strict bed rest for a month, minimum, guaranteed. JOAN So the State Prosecutor is a liar. TODD If he really hit his head hard enough to get that diagnosis, he wouldn’t be back in two weeks. I’m telling you. JOAN You don’t know what you’re talking about. TODD Mom which one of us is working as a Health Insurance Claims Investigator? JOAN You said you were only taking photos.
