EXT. EL STATION - DAY
At the corner in a beat up Pontiac are officers MUSIC and
BRENNAN. The two rough looking detectives follow Doc's car
through half closed eyes.
They also HEAR Spider's TRANSMITTER. The quality of the
reception improves as Spider and his antennae clear the steel
support structure of the el platform.
DOC (V.O.)
(from radio)
This early bird shit just ain't my
style.
SPIDER (V.O.)
(from radio)
Dig it. Too close to real work for
me.
Doc and Spider talk in a nervous false bravado.
EXT. ALLEY - DAY
Eddie nods to Donato who grabs a walkie-talkie from the seat.
DONATO:
(to walkie-talkie)
O.K. Home Team. Ready in the bullpen.
MUSIC (V.O.)
(from radio)
Copy Shortstop. Double play. We're
with him now.
SPOTTER (V.O.)
(from radio)
Center's in.
SILENCE. Eddie looks at Donato.
EDDIE:
Where's Cragie?
EXT. CEMETERY - DAY
Two cops are against the wall separating the cemetery from
the El. CRAGIE, a weathered twenty-five year veteran; and
NICK KOSALAS, the new kid on the team. Cragie sits on a crate
with a styrofoam cup of coffee.
