NYPD BLUE Pilot Revised Network Draft 9/18/18 20.
GAMBLE
What’s this? They look then kneel to inspect a blood smear next to the knob. Gamble whips out a glove and uses it to touch the edge of the smear. GAMBLE (CONT’D) That’s fresh. INT. APARTMENT - LATER A SUPER opens the door and then backpedals as Theo and Gamble enter, guns drawn. GAMBLE Police! Signs of a struggle. A table askew, plant knocked over. KNOCK from the bedroom. Theo and Gamble approach -- INT. BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS THE WHIRR OF A WINDOW AC UNIT and the same knock. Theo pushes open the door, gun drawn. He sees the source of the knocking: the pull-string for the blinds, on the end is a wood ball being blown by the AC and knocking into the wall. He looks down on the bed. A woman clothed. She’s blue, badly beaten, dead. A stocking pulled tight around her neck. Theo checks the body, touches the arm -- THEO Within the hour. GAMBLE (gets on the radio) We need a bus forthwith, 1971 Avenue D, apartment 4C. Theo peers closer. GAMBLE (CONT’D) What? Theo pulls out his photo of Violet and matches it against the DOA. THEO That’s not Violet. END OF ACT ONE
