ELANORA (V.O.)

Hello?

CATCH:

(softly)

Hi.

ELANORA (V.O.)

Hi! How are you? Have you been

out in this great afternoon?

Brenda took me for a walk.

She senses the silence on the other end and quiets a bit.

ELANORA (V.O.)

Anything wrong?

CATCH:

I’ve been... remembering.

She is quiet for a moment.

ELANORA (V.O.)

Catch... This is good.

CATCH:

It’s awful.

ELANORA (V.O.)

No. No, there’s good to remember.

(CONTINUED)

94.

CONTINUED:

He doesn’t speak, shakes his head.

ELANORA (V.O.)

Catch?

CATCH:

I’ll call you.

He hangs up, staring at his thoughts.

EXT. BUSY STREET -DAY

Sharon is still staking out the office building. Robby

is fidgeting. She just keeps watching. When Robby

begins to speak, she puts up a hand to stop him, going

very still, staring out the window at the man who Catch

was afraid of, Richard Pindella. The man enters the

building. Sharon gets out of the car, intense...

SHARON:

Give me fifteen.

And she hurries after the man.

INT. OFFICE BUILDING -DAY

As Sharon enters, sees the man at the elevators. He gets

into an elevator, and she just misses him. She watches

the elevator indicator. It stops at two. She hurries up

the stairs.

INT. CORRIDOR -DAY

As Sharon bangs into a hallway through the stairway door.

She looks one way, looks the other way down the long

hall, and sees the man just entering a door. She walks

to that door. It is marked "private." She knocks and

walks in.

INT. OFFICE -DAY

She enters a comfortable office, many shelves, books,

couch and chairs, big desk. She hears the man’s voice

from an anteroom. He’s coming toward her.

PINDELLA (O.S.)

Excuse me --that’s a private

entrance...

He sees her now, sees the uniform.

(CONTINUED)

95.

CONTINUED:

PINDELLA:

Oh... is there a problem?

He’s calm, gentle in the eyes. She stares a moment,

trying to keep her emotions undercover.

SHARON:

I’m not sure. Who am I speaking

to?

PINDELLA:

I’m Dr. Pindella.

She takes her time, afraid.

SHARON:

What kind of doctor?

PINDELLA:

What is this?

SHARON:

Do you know a Catch Lambert?

PINDELLA:

Oh. Yes! Is he in trouble?

SHARON:

I... need to talk to you.

He glances at his watch, worried for Catch.

PINDELLA:

Well, I have a patient in five

minutes. But I can...

SHARON:

Are you a...?

PINDELLA:

I’m a psychiatrist.

SHARON:

And Mr. Lambert...

PINDELLA:

My relationship with Mr. Lambert

is confidential.

She’s dying inside --but covering, lying, forcing her

way into this.

(CONTINUED)

96.

CONTINUED:

SHARON:

He’s your patient. He’s your

patient we... know all this. This

is police business. I’m officer

Sharon Pogue --L.A.P.D.

PINDELLA:

Look... I want to help Mr. Lambert

but I can’t tell you anything that

isn’t public record.

SHARON:

In general. In general.He’s

your patient, and he...

PINDELLA:

He’s not my patient. He walked

away from treatment. That was...

nearly a year ago.

SHARON:

Why did he walk away?

PINDELLA:

I can’t discuss that, but if you

know how to reach him, I would

appreciate being able to talk to

him.

SHARON:

(desperate)

You can help by just telling me

what’s in the public record.

It’ll take me half a day to do a

search. Can you tell me? Just...

She is unable to play this out as a "cop," her emotions

coming through. Pindella sees this. She sits on the

edge of a chair and takes a breath, speaks more softly.

SHARON:

Can you please tell me what’sin

the record?

He stares a moment, sympathetic --and realizing...

PINDELLA:

You were with him --in the car.

Your uniform threw me. Are you

his friend?

She looks at him, nods.

(CONTINUED)

97.

CONTINUED:

SHARON:

More.

He takes that in, leans back on the desk.

PINDELLA:

I can tell you he was in an

accident, hospitalized, referred

to me as an outpatient...

SHARON:

What accident?

PINDELLA:

A bus... a city bus hit his

vehicle. That was a couple of

years ago. It was... an awful

thing. His family was in the van.

His wife and child. His wife’s

parents...

SHARON:

A bus... and a van. Where? On...

the freeway?

Something is pulling at her memory. Her vision turns

inward, and she stops breathing for a moment -remembering.

She was there. And here we get a...

FLASHBACK -CARNAGE

A glimpse of the carnage --what she saw, first on the

scene --with Catch lying there. All the while Pindella

is speaking.

PINDELLA (V.O.)

I think so. Yes. Near Santa

Monica. On the freeway. He was

severely injured but... thrown

clear. The others were trapped in

the van.

BACK TO SHARON (PRESENT)

still in shock, looks at Pindella again.

SHARON:

Survivors?

remember.

Only him? I... don’t

Remember?

PINDELLA:

(CONTINUED)

98.

CONTINUED:

SHARON:

(quietly)

Yes. I was there. I was there.

Pindella stares, then...

PINDELLA:

His wife’s mother survived, but...

she was paralyzed.

She takes a moment, absorbing this.

PINDELLA:

Elanora Chu. She’s still in town,

I believe.

SHARON:

Does he... still see her?

PINDELLA:

He used to. I don’t know.

(pause)

I’m glad to see... he has someone

else who cares about him. I know

he’s running from this. He left

all his friends, his home, his

whole life.

SHARON:

He says... he doesn’t remember the

accident.

PINDELLA:

He lost a lot of memory. I tried

to help him with that. He

resisted. Walked away.

She stares.

SHARON:

I think he remembers me.

Very subdued now, she asks...

SHARON:

How does he live?

PINDELLA:

He received a large settlement

from the city, but he...barely

touches it. He was a professional

musician.

She stares at him and nods.

(CONTINUED)

99.

CONTINUED:

SHARON:

Trumpet.

As he says that, we hear our TRUMPET MUSIC begin --a

fast and furious MUTED TRUMPET, incredible RIFFS, and we

use this to carry us, as we...

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. POLICE HEADQUARTERS -DAY

Sharon is in the report room, using the computer,

hunting. We MOVE AROUND to see her and the screen. She

is searching the police records to find the accident.

The CONTINUING TRUMPET RIFFS are the motor for this. She

suddenly stops as we FOCUS ON the name: "LAMBERT." Then

we watch her as she punches up the data and she reads.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. SHARON’S APARTMENT -NIGHT

We MOVE THROUGH Sharon’s nearly dark apartment, its

stillness in strange contrast to the manic TRUMPET RIFFS.

We PAN to find her curled in a chair, staring deeply,

sadly, drinking a drink. As we PAN, we DISCOVER she is

looking at that mural of the mountains and through this

to her thoughts, and then she makes a decision and rises

and goes to the phone, punches in a number.

INT. CATCH’S BEDROOM -NIGHT

He is sitting on his bed, back against the headboard,

sitting there fully dressed, shoes and all, knees up -as

he plays his muted trumpet, hard and fast, playing the

incredible riffs we’ve been hearing, playing in a driven

way, keeping his demons away. When the RING of the PHONE

breaks through, he stops suddenly. He waits. His

MACHINE CLICKS ON and BEEPS. We INTERCUT the call as

Sharon’s voice comes on, subdued.
