OUR KIND OF PEOPLE - 8th NETWORK DRAFT 12-21-20
48.
LEAH Enjoy the rest of your summer, Daddy. But it won't be in this room.
She puts her feet up on the table -- LEAH (CONT'D)
Watch the incline on your way out. TWO SECURITY GUARDS enter and escort Teddy out of the building. Off Leah, checkmate. INT. OAK BLUFFS POLICE STATION - INTERROGATION ROOM - NIGHT 56 It’s been a few hours. Documents etc are spread across the table as Angela, Piggy and Nikki are pore over the evidence. Piggy’s heart stops when she spies a PHOTO of the drugs confiscated that night. There, in color, are piles of drugs in SMALL DISTINCT RED BAGGIES. Piggy’s heart stops as she zeroes in on the SYMBOL ON THE BAGGIE. She drops it back into the box like a hot potato, spooked by whatever memory the image jogged... ANGELA Oh, my God. Angela pulls the OLD VIDEO TAPE from a marked box. Shaking, she puts it into the player and hits play. It's fuzzy at first but then... there she is... EVE. Angela, Nikki and Piggy gasp, seeing her again is emotional for them. The date on screen: July 8th, 1984. ON SCREEN: a young, scared Eve sits alone in the cold, empty room. She looks small, and the tears flood from her eyes. The door opens and she looks up to see someone she is clearly relieved to see. Emotion -- anger, fear, confusion -- spills. EVE Tell them I didn’t do this... The person who just entered remains obscured by the camera. We can’t see his face, but we can hear his HUSHED VOICE... MAN Shhhh. It’s going to be okay. But you have to listen to me... Suddenly, the MAN’s hand comes into frame to turn off the camera. But before the screen goes black, Angela can make out a VINTAGE GOLD WATCH. BACK TO OUR TRIO: A wave of emotion hits Angela, having just heard her mother’s voice. The room sits silent. Tears are in Piggy's eyes as she watches her baby sister in pain.
