Media Studies Script
Scene one: Killer in the hotel (bathroom scene)
Voice: You don’t have to do this; you do know that don’t you?
It’s not going to change anything.
Killer: Shut up! Just get out. I’m not listening to this again.
Voice: You know I’m right.
Killer: That’s it. I’m going, and you’re not coming with me this time.
*Killer walks out of bathroom
Voice: Do you really think I’m that easy to get rid of?
Oh, c’mon, it’s been years now. Besides, you’d be lonely without me.
*Killer walks out
Scene two: Police investigation room
Detective one: I dunno jack. We’ve been at this case for two months now and we don’t seem to be getting anywhere. We’re missing something, I’m tellin’ you.
Detective two: Look, talk like that’s gonna get us nowhere is it? We need to look more carefully. What is it about these people that makes someone want to kill them? Is there anything we’ve missed, anything that they all have in common?
Detective one: Well, they were all in the same year at school, we’ve established that, and James Greenwood was in their year, Phillip Mason was in the year above.
*Pause
Hang on; Jason Crook was in their year as well. It was his third school in two years. Says here he was removed for unusually disruptive behavior, looks like there were quite a few serious incidents he was involved in.
*Head officer walks through door accompanied by detective three.
H.O: Afternoon, you two. This is Thomas Green, he’s a specialist who’s been assigned to help you on the case. I’ll leave you to it.
Detective three: Right, what’s the story so far gentlemen?
Detective Two: Well, we’ve got a list of suspects that we’ve managed to narrow down to the 6 that are on the board. Three of those went to the same school as all four murder victims and it seems that Jason Crook had a bit of trouble in his school years, it could just be teenage behavior, but it did state that he was unusually disruptive... could be a lead, so we’re gonna check it out.
Detective three: Sounds like a plan.
*Pauses
Would I be able to have a mill over the papers and files? So I can get all the details and what have you.
Detective two: Sure.
Detective three: Thanks
*Walks out the room
Scene three: outside the police station.
Detective two: Not sure what to make of that guy really.
Detective one: He seemed a bit, odd. Anyhow, I don’t like the way they made it feel like we couldn’t handle it
Detective two: No, but I’m welcoming help. He just didn’t seem quite with it. Ah well, maybe he’s just awkward with new people.
