pause. Her real sorrow works on him, makes it hard for him to

Bye.

He exits. She looks forlorn.

earlier.

LINDSAY:

Extremely frustrated.

KATE:

We’re now in a position to inform

you of a development with the body

found under the garage floor.

LINDSAY:

You’ve confirmed it’s Carly?

The opposite. It isn’t her.

Lindsay looks mightily relieved, an enormous emotional burden

lifted.

LINDSAY:

That’s wonderful.

KATE:

She means a lot to you, doesn’t

she, ma’am?

LINDSAY:

Why wouldn’t a child’s life mean a

lot to anyone?
