Anamorph Page #3

Synopsis: Stan is a quiet, solitary detective in New York City. A few months ago, he solved a gruesome case of serial murders, although an undercover police officer lost her life. A new set of similar murders begins: the bodies are elaborately displayed and the killer uses equipment from art and early movie making in the tableau, or he leaves a clue as to where the investigators are to stand to get the full artistic effect. Stan is paired with a younger detective, Carl, whom he brushes off when Carl wants to get to know him. As pieces fall in place, it's a race to prevent the next killing, quite possibly someone close to Stan.

to diversify.

But you hold on to those.

Tell me which one you want to pursue.

Oye, oye, not her.

She's mine.

Russ, another round.

Coming up.

Here is a painting

I wanted to see.

Sorry, Stan,

but this is joke.

- And doesn't go with your chair.

- No, you don't understand.

It is a picture of

of the crime scene...

I am working on.

It was in the window of the

antique store near my place.

I think the killer painted it.

Wow.

That would be quite a coincidence

I mean if you're right.

Come on, I mean anybody

could have done this.

It has been in the news

for the last couple of days...

if you haven't noticed.

"Copycat Killer on The Loose"

All these years, Stan...

I do not know how you can stand it.

You know, just sticking it out

till I can collect my pension.

Detective

THE New York Police

- Hey, not too shaby.

- Yes.

The department really spared no

expense for your promotion.

- It's beautiful, fellas.

- Yes.

You know my brother

got a f... watch

- Beer?

- No, thanks.

- Two shots already yeah?

- Yes.

- Cheers, Cheers.

- Cheers.

Great success.

Carl, you know you'll f... it for

commissioner one day.

Miss?

Miss, Could I get

some milk?

Sure are a lot of cops here,

aren't there, Mr. Aubrey?

- How do you know my name?

- Alex Fredericks.

Probably read

some of my pieces...

on Uncle Eddie investigation.

When other reporters were taking

you down, I defended you

Turns out you and I were right.

We were?

Talk to me about the new case

Is it a copycat killer?

You think he'll kill again?

Who do we call him?

Oh, will think of something snappy.

What do you want?

Why don't you walk away after

the Uncle Eddie murders?

It is sad

what happened to that girl.

- Excuse me.

- No, wait, wait, don't.

Detective Aubrey, it's Martin.

I got the results

back from the Lab.

You were right,

that's a popular pigment.

The samples taken

hanging man painting...

match the ones from the

old Uncle Eddie file.

I'll leave the report

on your desk.

"Uncle Eddie stumps

NYPD"

"Serial Killing Spree"

"Another murder of series"

"Prostitute Stabbed by Docks"

Responding officers,

unit 483...

now approaching

crime scene...

to northeast side

College Point Harbour.

OK, Stan?

No?

You see this is the thing,

You and I have been working...

in the same office... about what

five years now?

I don't even know if you're married.

I don't even know

where you f***ing live.

Look, if you want to slip out

all mysteriously from my party,

well, I don't give a sh*t

But you and I are gonna have to

work together at some point.

Both got the same shield

Now, Stan, you understand me?

Christ...

You're OK, Stan?

The human jigsaw.

Henry Miller

Henry Valentine Miller (December 26, 1891 – June 7, 1980) was an American writer, expatriated in Paris at his flourishing. He was known for breaking with existing literary forms and developing a new type of semi-autobiographical novel that blended character study, social criticism, philosophical reflection, stream of consciousness, explicit language, sex, surrealist free association, and mysticism. His most characteristic works of this kind are Tropic of Cancer, Black Spring, Tropic of Capricorn and The Rosy Crucifixion trilogy, which are based on his experiences in New York and Paris (all of which were banned in the United States until 1961). He also wrote travel memoirs and literary criticism, and painted watercolors. more…
