INT. CELL - LEMAN STREET - NIGHT 1/16 Reid - turning this wall into a makeshift gallery of these previous SCENE OF CRIME PHOTOGRAPHS. Turning to the dead and disfigured woman laid out on an oak table. JACKSON - looking at Reid. The gravity of what might be laid out before them -- JACKSON Is it him? Reid - a long beat, his grim fear, but -- REID That’s what you’re here to find out. JACKSON And your sudden passion for the furtive? REID I must be sure before that hell rises again. JACKSON - a nod. Understands the grave severity of this. Takes his coat off, opens his satchel, removes a battered wooden box. The box - glimpse the faded engraving on its lid: UNITED STATES ARMY. And inside - the tools of an autopsy kit. JACKSON Get her naked, Sergeant Drake. DRAKE - not sure he likes Jackson’s tone, but REID nods to him and he moves to the body. JACKSON (CONT’D) (sharp) Gently. Are those hands or meathooks? (beat) Really. It’s no wonder to me at all you’re a bachelor. DRAKE - a special kind of hatred for this man. INT. CELL - LEMAN STREET - LATER 1/17 The body - naked, its wounds washed. JACKSON and REID in their shirtsleeves, poring over it. The slash across the throat. Jackson looks to Reid. Every fact an escalator to their worst of fears -- JACKSON The hemorrhage is from the severance of the left carotid.
