MOM & SON ESQ. P.I. - "PILOT"
49.
ACT FOUR
INT. COURTROOM - MORNING The trial has resumed. Court is warming up for the day. Kim sits with Joan (who is oddly still). We ZOOM IN and discover that Joan’s perfectly coiffed hair is concealing - one of Todd’s tiny ear buds. She listens to... INT. PORTLAND AIRPORT - MORNING Todd stalks the airport. And talks softly into his watch: TODD Concourse B now. Still no sign of him. How can there be eight different flights all leaving at 10:10? Todd checks a huge airport clock: 10:04 a.m. INT. COURTROOM - MORNING Court called to order. The CLERK hands the Judge a note: JUDGE Alright, Prosecution has made a motion to introduce... What is this, Barrett? And how are you feeling, by the way? FREDERICK BARRETT (40s, State Prosecutor) wears a big bandage on his head. Joan gives him a deep side-eye: oh really? FREDERICK BARRETT He continues, but Joan’s focus is drawn to a nervous CHINESE BUSINESSWOMAN (37) entering the Court. She is led to a front row seat. A TRANSLATOR (52) sits with her. Joan narrows her eyes at this woman: this is who she’s up against. INT. AIRPORT - MORNING Todd scans another lounge: nothing. An announcement blares: AIRPORT P.A. SYSTEM Thank you, your honor, I’m feeling - OK. But we have filed to insert a crucial new witness into the lineup...
Attention, flight 719 departure to Iceland, final boarding. Gate 47.
INT. COURT - MORNING Joan tenses, ALARMED, overhearing that announcement. She quickly (clandestinely) texts Todd: “ICELAND. BUCKET LIST.”
