Surveillance Page #3

Synopsis: Grisly murders occur in a small town. Two FBI agents arrive, set up their cameras in three interview rooms, and set up interviews of three survivors: a girl of about nine, a foul-mouthed cop with a bandaged hand, and a young woman of about 20 who uses drugs. Each tells their story as the male FBI agent listens and watches from a separate room: the girl draws for and talks to the female agent, the local chief interviews the injured cop, and two officers interview the young woman. As they tell their stories, some of which are inaccurate and self-serving, we see what actually happened the day before. Can the agents or anyone else put the pieces together?

Well with these kids, it's easy.

Thank you.

My mother kept saying over and

Over what a nice thing it was

For him to do.

It's good for

People to get away sometimes...

I guess.

But I liked where I was to begin with.

Mommy.

Yeah.

Look what I drew.

Oh! Look at that! Oh, honey.

You are so talented.

Thank you.

It's great... The ants...

No, honey, they're bears.

...The bears...

Beavers.

The beavers.

Officer Bennett...?

Yeah.

Yeah... Um... You and your

Partner were first on the scene,

Am I correct about that?

That's correct.

Right, uh, after the

Grocery delivery man...

If you could continue,

Please, officer Bennett?

Keep going.

The guys from

'Crime-scene' showed an'...

We left.

What are you thinking?

She's good-looking.

He used to be, too.

So... We're driving along...

Good girl!

Yeah.

Oof!

Yes!

Aw, that is some good sh*t.

Ok, ok, c'mon!

Sh*t! Sorry... I forgot who's drivin'!

Who am i?

No, it's cool.

Let's see... We...

Stopped. To stretch.

That's good...

Stretching.

It's good.

And that's when we first saw

The little girl, Stephanie.

Stop! Seriously! God damn it, stop!

Why, whaddya have to pee?

Don't act like an

A**hole. There's a family.

Hey, it's the elephant at the

Rest stop nobody talks about.

Oh, ok, 'bill w.' Oh. Hello.

Where

A grisly discovery was made.

Police feel certain that

This is the work of the two,

As yet unidentified suspects,

Who have left a series of

Victims across the country.

A press conference is scheduled

For later this afternoon after

Further examination of the scene

And the body discovered inside.

Police urge all

Citizens of the area to

Keep their doors locked,

And to immediately report any

Activities that appear out

Of the normal... As well as any

Sightings of the missing woman,

Elaine meyer, pictured here.

I'm not allowed to

Watch the news at home.

Some things children shouldn't see.

That's what my mom says...

I mean... Said.

I'm so sorry, Stephanie.

Oh.

That poor little girl...

Children can be very resilient.

I think it's a shame makin g

Her re-live all those things...

No, I mean, I know, of cours

E you're just doing your job,

I know that... It's just... You

Have to do this, right?

I have to know what they've seen.

Uh...

Every detail, right?

Oh yeah... Oh yeah. Every detail.

Oh god, I just... I just... Oh.

You need the information

And speaking of...

It's the coroner's report.

I'm 'friends' with the coroner.

Yeah.

Well... Thank you.

You're welcome.

Um... No lab results?

No, no, he's rushing those but

He said it's just going to take

Him a long time to collect it all.

Did he say what he's collecting?

I mean, did he mention...
