MOM & SON ESQ. P.I. - "PILOT"
40.
They are both stumped. A dead end. Todd gazes around this abandoned area. Allison looks at the notice for herself: ALLISON
“Declared dead” - “disappearing act.” Maybe this is all a big scam. Maybe they’re off - faking their deaths - together?
Todd frowns: he doesn’t like that theory. ALLISON
Fine, you figure it out. I really have to get going to the hospital. Todd notes an AMAZON FRESH delivery van round the corner, headed this way. He watches it: TODD You can leave me here. I’m gonna watch this place for a while... ALLISON Don’t break into that shop. TODD You sound like Mom. Allison drives away - and Todd watches as the AMAZON driver jumps out, tosses a flat box towards the Magic Shop doors, then zooms off. Todd goes to look at the box, addressed to NEWTON MAGNIFICENT INC. and marked: PERISHABLE. TODD Well, someone’s coming to get that . Todd settles onto a trash can across the street. He folds his arms and watches, harumph, determined to solve this mystery. INT. JOAN'S OFFICE - DAY Joan’s firm is mostly deserted. Francey works at her desk outside Joan’s office. And inside, at her computer, Joan scrolls through information on the bus passenger witnesses. But... Joan’s eyes keep drifting over to Kim’s case file. Something is nagging Joan. Finally she flips the file open, and pulls out Niki’s statement. She scans a few pages - then, exasperated, she stands and exits: JOAN Francey, can you pull up Niki Esposito’s deposition for me? (aside) She was in - Seattle.
