Murdered

EXT. FLEET STREET FLATS – LATE EVENING

WE DESCEND UPON the BODY of RITCHIE FLANKS. He lies LIMP close to the EDGE of the PAVEMENT. SHARDS of GLASS surround him, as he has FALLEN out of the WINDOW of APARMENT 7B from FLEET STREET FLATS.

BAKER wearing a long PURPLE COTTON COAT, IS STANDING next to the FLANKS’S BODY, LOOKING at the crime scene, and up at where the BODY had FALLEN from.

POLICEMAN

Ms. Baker!

A SHORT policeman APPROACHES BAKER, PREPAREING to QUESTION her.

POLICEMAN

Baker, do you know the tenant

that lives in apartment 7B where 

this man seems to have fallen from?

BAKER

I knew him. Last I heard from

him though was that he moved it

that very apartment.

POLICEMAN writes the information down on to a NOTEPAD.

POLICEMAN

So you haven't heard of him every

since?

BAKER

No

POLICEMAN

Do you know this man?

BAKER

I do not, never seen him before

POLICEMAN

Alright, our prime suspect happens 

not to be present in the apartment 

and from looking at the scene of 

the crime, it is illogical to 

believe that this was a suicide.

So one last question, do you find 

it reasonable to consider that 

Mr. Trotter committed this murder?

BAKER looks back at the BODY of FLANKS for a brief moment.

BAKER

Officer, I’m not to sure, but

I would like to be the one to

speak with him first.
