Secret in Their Eyes Page #2

Synopsis: 2002: Ray Kasten (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and Jess Cobb (Julia Roberts) are two investigators in a private police unit led by the DA. When they receive an anonymous tip about a girl raped and killed, they rush to the scene. Ray realizes it is Jess' daughter and the team falls apart due to the grief. In 2015, Ray comes back to LA, and says that after 13 years, he has found a lead and convinces the DA to reopen the case. They find clues and leads unknown to them, and secrets from the past come to light as they start discovering the real, chilling truth. Meanwhile, Jess, dissatisfied with the law, decides to take matters into her own hands and track down the killer, no matter what lengths she has to go to.

So, what's that got to do with us?

Garage is next door to

our mosque, Al-Ankara.

This is not good... mosque

turning into a crime scene.

Now Al-Fawid's gonna shut

everything down and go to ground.

Think positive, Ray. Maybe

Al-Fawid did the murder.

We could arrest him without him

having to blow something up first.

I'll talk to my snitch. He knows

everything going on in that mosque.

Siefert, when are you gonna

cough that guy's name up already?

- My curiosity is killing me.

- Sorry, Cobb.

Golden rule of counterterrorism. Remember?

SIEFERT, BUMPY:
Protect the snitch.

MAN (on TV):
Four months

after the events of 9/11,

LA's high rises and

hospitals remain unprepared

to respond to a terrorist attack,

according to a study released

today by the Rand Corporation.

One of the biggest concerns...

communication between first responders...

WOMAN (on TV):
Intelligence

officials are increasingly concerned

about the level of chatter

they're picking up.

Senior administration members telling us

this could mean terror cells in the US

are about to become operational.

MAN #2 (on TV):
Terrorists may be planning

another attack on a major US city.

The Department of Homeland Security raised

the terror threat level to red today

in response to what's

being called, quote,

"credible intelligence of an

impending domestic attack."

MAN:
Whoa! DAI's at a crime scene.

Things a little slow today,

guys? No subpoenas to serve?

You really are an idiot, Fierro. Medically.

Impressive, huh? He was Homicide

before he joined the Bureau.

Be the ball, Ray.

Be the ball, Ray.

No purse, no ID.

Body appears to have been

bleached inside and out.

Take notes, fellas. This

is evidence collection.

Custodian reports seeing

a young man, possibly Arab,

leaving the scene about 10:30,

carrying his belongings.

- Looked to be homeless.

- Was he running or walking?

- Didn't say.

- You mean, you didn't ask.

- I didn't do the interview.

- (clears throat)

(gasps)

BUMPY:
Just 'cause they're Muslims

doesn't mean they're terrorists.

- Wouldn't wanna stereotype anybody, would we?

- (laughing) No, of course not.

(gasping)

G-Give her some room.

JESS:
They aren't even

spelling things right in here.

JESS:
He's got a theory.

What is it?

It's Carolyn.

What?

I-It's Carolyn. It's your daughter.

(clipboard lands on ground)

(screaming) No!

- No!

- Jess, Jess, Jess!

(whimpering) No! My girl!

(hysterical sobbing)

No! No!

No! No!

Please! No!

Help me! Help me!

(sobbing continues) Oh, my God!

Oh, sweet girl.

(sobbing stops, resumes)

(sobbing continues)

It's my baby!

Where... is he?

He's on parole.

Just did 10 years.
