CRAWFORD:

I have to.

MOLLY:

You're his friend, Jack. Why can't

you leave him alone?

CRAWFORD:

Because it's his bad luck to be

special.

MOLLY:

He thinks you want him to look at

evidence.

6.

CRAWFORD:

Nobody's better with evidence. But

he has the other thing, too. He

doesn't like that part of it...

MOLLY:

You wouldn't like it, either if you

had it.

There is a pause between them. Molly lights a cigarette.

Crawford leans forward, resting his thick, pale, forearms

on his knees.

CRAWFORD:

Talking about 'like,' you don't like

me very much, do you?

MOLLY:

No.

(beat)

I don't like people who park in the

'handicapped zone'...

CRAWFROD:

I'LL try to keep him as far away from

it as I can...

CUT TO:

EXT. ATLANTA STREET - WIDE - NIGHT

Small poplars line the curb. It rained. The sidewalks are

wet. They are drying in splotches. The street is deserted.

The front walk vertically bisects the FRAME. An Atlanta

Police department car pulls to the curb and stops. The door

opens, lighting the interior and Will Graham starts out the

passenger side.

GRAHAM:

(distant)

Thanks for the lift.

OFFICER:

I'll come inside with you, if you

like, but Mr. Crawford said you'd

probably want to be alone.

GRAHAM:

That's right.

OFFTCER:

There's a VTR setup waiting in your

hotel room, that you asked for

They transferred the home movies of

both families once half-inch VHS.

7.

GRAHAM:

(getting out)

Thanks.

Graham exits the car and walks TOWARDS us. We PAN AROUND as

he moves through EXTREME CLOSEUP and see the Leeds family house

with all of the Atlanta Police department "crime scene" postings

Graham doesn't enter the front door. Be walks around the side.

CUT TO:

INT. LEEDS HOUSE, KITCHEN - WIDE - NIGHT

Three big sliding glass doors. The center one has been re-

placed with plywood. It's dark. A flashlight's beam starts

playing through the bushes in the side yard.., then the light

appears and blasts IN the LENS. It lights lots of dishes in

the sink. The dark kitchen looks like anybody's kitchen. The

house feels occupied. The Leed's possessions have been

undisturbed.
