Spooner takes the citation. Drops it into a drawer filled

with about fifty others.

LT. BERGIN

The traffic division filed an

official complaint this morning.

SPOONER:

The traffic division is a machine.

LT. BERGIN

Look, I know there.s going to be an

adjustment period, Del...

SPOONER:

(interrupting)

I.ll send them a letter of apology.

Maybe some flowers. A box of

chocolates...

5.

JUST THEN Spooner.s phone RINGS. He throws Bergin a look.

Then snatches up the receiver.

SPOONER:

Spooner, homicide.

CUT TO:

12 EXT. U.S. ROBOTICS - ESTABLISHING - DAY 12

A sprawling glass and metal complex covering many city

blocks. The entrance is a large plaza filled with PEOPLE and

ROBOTS.

13 INT. U.S. ROBOTICS - METAL CORRIDOR - DAY 13

An elevator opens with a whoosh. Spooner steps out into a

featureless corridor. His footsteps, echoing. He stops at a

set of OPPOSING DOORS. Looks over at one, when the other

suddenly OPENS.

14 INT. U.S. ROBOTICS - PLUSH CONFERENCE ROOM - CONTINUOUS 14

A warm, mahogany-paneled room. In sharp contrast to the cold

metal space outside. Spooner steps inside. At the end of a

long conference table sits an OLD MAN. Sparkling blue eyes.

Old-fashioned suit.

OLD MAN:

Hello, there. Please come in.

Spooner hesitates.

OLD MAN:

It.s alright. You can sit. Sit.

Spooner doesn.t. Looks around the room. The Old Man lifts

up a coffee pot. Pours some coffee into a single cup.

OLD MAN:

Coffee?

SPOONER:

(interested)

You.re offering me a cup of coffee?

OLD MAN:

Yes. But you are to say, .No,

thank you..

Spooner nods a little. The Old Man raises the coffee to his

lips, but doesn.t take a sip.

6.

OLD MAN:

Coffee?

SPOONER:

No. Thank you.

OLD MAN:

As you wish.

The Old Man takes a sip. He doesn.t move. There is no

movement except for a whisper of steam rising from the coffee

pot.

SPOONER:

You want to tell me something about

Dr. Hogenmiller? About his death?

The Old Man smiles.

OLD MAN:

I want to tell you that his death

was not a suicide.

SPOONER:

And why do you say that?

OLD MAN:

Why? Because I want you to know

it.

SPOONER:

I understand that. But what

specifically leads you to believe

that he didn.t commit suicide?

OLD MAN:

(considers)

Nothing specifically.

Spooner shifts his weight. Agitated.

SPOONER:

Under normal circumstances that

wouldn.t be enough to get you a

homicide investigation.

OLD MAN:

But this is not .normal

circumstances,. is it, Detective

Spooner?

SPOONER:

No. It isn.t.

7.

OLD MAN:

Then you will find out who killed

Dr. Hogenmiller, yes? And then you

will tell me.

Spooner.s losing his patience.
