11JOHN:
Now she's driving a wedge between us.
I give up.
LARA:
JOHN:
And now she is abandoning you.
Lara grabs her raincoat and notices a stain on the back
shoulder. Irritated, she heads back to the bathroom.
12 INT. BRENNAN HOUSE - DOWNSTAIRS BATHROOM 12
Lara rinses the stain under the sink, surprised to see it
run red. She looks at her hands: blood. The doorbell rings.
13 INT. BRENNAN HOUSE - KITCHEN 13
John rises to answer the door.
14 INT. BRENNAN HOUSE - DOWNSTAIRS BATHROOM 14
Lara looks at her coat, wonders how the hell she got blood
on her shoulder. She rubs liquid soap into it.
15 INT. BRENNAN HOUSE - FOYER 15
As John opens the door, DETECTIVE QUINN shows his badge.
DETECTIVE COLLERO and a team of detectives push past. John
has no time to react.
Police.
DETECTIVE QUINN:
Mr. Brennan?
LUKE sees the police rush past him and gets scared.
DETECTIVE QUINN (CONT'D)
My name is Detective Quinn. This is
a search warrant for these premises.
John hears Luke cry and instinctively heads inside.
DETECTIVE QUINN (CONT'D)
(stops him)
Stay where you are.
Get your --
JOHN:
DETECTIVE QUINN:
Touch me again and you'll be arrested.

16 INT. BRENNAN HOUSE - DOWN THE HALL 16
Lara steps from the bathroom and is met by Detective Collero.
She sees the coat with the water spot; nods to a team member,
who takes it and bags it under:
DETECTIVE COLLERO
Lara Brennan?
LARA:
WHAT?!
DETECTIVE COLLERO
Lara Brennan, you are under arrest
for the murder of Elizabeth Gesas.
She takes her wrist and professionally turns and cuffs her.
LARA:
She's dead?? Elizabeth is dead??
17 INT. BRENNAN HOUSE - FOYER 17
JOHN:
(tries to push past)
She didn't do anything!
DETECTIVE QUINN:
I will only -JOHN
(tries again)
She didn't do anything!
DETECTIVE QUINN:
Put him in cuffs.
The uniform pushes him up against the wall and cuffs his
wrists. John watches as his child cries, his wife is led
out in handcuffs and the house is torn apart. Cut to BLACK.
18 INT. BRENNAN HOUSE -- NIGHT 18
LUKE (O.S.)
Daddy!... DADDY!!
A light comes on. John steps out of his bedroom and enters
his son's room.
JOHN (O.S.)
It's okay. Just a bad dream.
He comes back out carrying Luke, now SIX YEARS-OLD.
WHITE 9-10-09 10.
19 INT. JOHN'S BEDROOM -- NIGHT 19
John lays Luke on the bed and climbs in beside him.
You okay?
JOHN:
Luke nods.
JOHN (CONT'D)
Okay, you can sleep here as long as
you stay on this side of the bed.
Luke immediately scrambles over his father to take his side.
JOHN (CONT'D)
You're such a snake, I don't know why
I keep falling for the same trick.
John kisses Luke, who closes his eyes and snuggles his pillow.
John reaches for the lamp. Beside it sits the framed photo
that Lara snapped of the three of them that fateful morning.
He switches off the lamp, and the screen goes BLACK.
20 EXT. PITTSBURGH -- DAY 20
The "T," the city's fast-moving trolley, rises up from
underground and we CRANE UP to see the city.
JOHN (O.S.)
But Sam's your friend, right?
21 EXT. ALLEGHENY COUNTY JAIL -- DAY 21
Tilt down from a passing T-Train to find John and Luke,
walking toward the huge, modern Allegheny County Jail.
LUKE:
Not at lunch.
JOHN:
Does he take your food?
No.
LUKE:
JOHN:
Did he say something mean?
(Luke nods)
About Mommy?
