DISSOLVE TO:

173. INT. POLICE STATION - DAY

Jeffrey climbs the stairs up to Detective Williams' office.

174. INT. ROOM 221 - POLICE STATION - DAY

He rounds the corner and steps inside the office, when he stops short with

fear. Detective Williams is not there, but sitting at a desk next to

Detective Williams' desk is the Yellow Man. Their eyes lock.

Jeffrey freezes.

JEFFREY:

Excuse me.

Jeffrey turns away as quickly as possible and goes over to a water cooler

and gets a drink, keeping his back to the Yellow Man. He shakes with

fear. He slowly turns around. The Yellow Man is studying some papers on

his desk.

Again the Yellow Man looks up. This time he is slightly suspicious and he

cooks his head. Jeffrey cannot move.

Finally, Jeffrey is able to step away. As he leaves the Yellow Man's line

of sight, Jeffrey catches the names on the door.

DETECTIVES:

J.R. WILLIAMS

AND:

T.R. GORDON

JEFFREY:

(inner voice)

Gordon. Gordon. a police inspector.

wait a minute. wait a minute.

175. EXT. COLD STORAGE COMPANY - DAY

FLASHBACK:

Jeffrey remembers the black guy saying: "The police are going to find more

drugs in there than you can believe."

JEFFREY:

(continuing, inner voice)

The police. the police. Gordon.

177. INT. BEN'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

FLASHBACK:

Jeffrey remembers Frank's voice in the distance: "Gordon went right up

to them - in broad daylight of course - 'cause he's the man, right? And

he took all those drugs away."

178. INT. ROOM 221 - POLICE STATION - DAY

JEFFREY:

(continuing, inner voice)

Took all those drugs away. Gordon

took those drugs away.

CUT TO:

179. EXT. WILLIAMS HOME - NIGHT

Jeffrey walks through the darkness, carrying the photos. He stops in

front of Detective Williams' house and hesitates. Jeffrey's face has a

troubled look. He approaches the front door.

He hesitates again before finally knocking. Detective Williams answers

the door. Sandy is in the background. When she sees the look on Jeffrey's

face, she knows why he's there.

DETECTIVE WILLIAMS

Jeffrey! Come on in.

JEFFREY:

Hi. Hi Sandy. I'm sorry to bother you,

but I've got to talk to you.

DETECTIVE WILLIAMS

Okay. come on in. Looks like you had a

bad face lift.

JEFFREY:

(with a goofy smile to Sandy)

Yeah.

180. INT. WILLIAMS' LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

Sandy gives him a concerned look. Jeffrey follows Detective Williams to

his study.

181. INT. DETECTIVE WILLIAMS STUDY - NIGHT

He closes the door behind him.

DETECTIVE WILLIAMS

Okay?

JEFFREY:

Okay. I gotta tell you. I've. discovered

some things. .Anyway I have to show you

some pictures and tell you some things

about them. The first picture is this.

He shows him the picture of Frank and studies Detective Williams' face as

he sees it.

JEFFREY:

(continuing)

This is Frank Booth. His address is on

the back of the photo. He, in my opinion,

is very sick and dangerous. This photo

here is of Frank with another man as they

went into Frank's apartment.

Jeffrey casually hands the photo over and watches Detective Williams' face

extra carefully. Detective Williams doesn't flinch, yet his eyes slowly

glide upwards to meet Jeffrey's.

JEFFREY:

(continuing)

And that man came out with a third man -

this well-dressed guy. here's the photo.

I think a girl named Dorothy Vallens is

in trouble with these people. I think

Frank has taken her husband and her son.

JEFFREY:

(continuing)

I have no hard proof of any of this. Her

address is also on the photos. I think

these people are involved with drugs. and

murder. I think Frank is killing drug

dealers and.

(he decides not to tell Detective

Williams everything)

. and somehow Frank is getting all their

drugs. I had to tell you I got slightly

more involved in this than you wanted me

to, but it's over now for sure. .I had to

tell you about these things in case it

could help.

DETECTIVE WILLIAMS

Well now Jeffrey, how did you come to get

so involved?

JEFFREY:

I can't tell you the whole story. I. I

took it upon myself. I can't say more.

DETECTIVE WILLIAMS

Is Sandy part of this?

JEFFREY:

No. not at all.

DETECTIVE WILLIAMS

(referring to the photos)

Who knows you have these?

JEFFREY:

Only you. and the photo lab.

DETECTIVE WILLIAMS

You're all through with this now?

JEFFREY:

Yes sir. I sure am.

Detective Williams studies Jeffrey, then the photos.

DETECTIVE WILLIAMS

For now. Alright. you better be. And

Sandy better not be involved with this,

I can tell you. Be prepared to come in

for further interrogation on this later.

JEFFREY:

Yes sir.

Jeffrey leaves the study.

182. INT. WILLIAMS' LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

In the living room, Jeffrey looks at Sandy.

SANDY:

Everything okay?

JEFFREY:

Yeah. I think so. I just had to tell him

some of what I knew. Is Friday still on?

SANDY:

You didn't tell him about me?

JEFFREY:

No.

Detective Williams comes out of his study and sees the two of them talking.

He sees some nervousness. Sandy quickly changes the subject.

SANDY:

I should never had gotten you going on this.

(changing, smiling)

Yes Jeffrey. Friday's on!

JEFFREY:

Okay. great!

CUT TO:

183. EXT. BEAUMONTS' FRONT LAWN - DAY

Jeffrey waters the flowers and bushes as his father had done. His face

looks much better.

DISSOLVE TO:

184. INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - DAY

Jeffrey sits and visits with his father. His Mother and his Aunt Barbara are there too.

DISSOLVE TO:

185. INT. HOSPITAL LAB - DAY

CLOSEUPS of cells moving - dark cells move in - the picture gets dark.

DISSOLVE TO:

186. EXT. WILLIAMS HOME - NIGHT

Jeffrey is driving over to Sandy's.

He has to park across the street because a police car is sitting in front

of the Williams' house. Its lights are slowly revolving on top. The engine

idles. a Man is inside. his head down, studying some papers.

Jeffrey barely notices all this, as he heads for the door.

Mrs. Williams answers the door and Sandy is behind her in the dining room.

MRS. WILLIAMS

Hello, Jeffrey. Come in.

187. INT. WILLIAMS' LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

Jeffrey enters and crosses the room to Sandy.

JEFFREY:

You all set?

Detective Williams comes in arranging some papers which he begins placing

in a briefcase on the dining room table. Just then a man comes up to the

door which is still open. Jeffrey turns to see. It is Detective

T.R. Gordon, the Yellow Man. All the color instantly drains from

Jeffrey's face.

YELLOW MAN:

(yelling inside)

Hey John - get a move on!!

Detective Williams turns. He sees Detective Gordon. He turns again. He

sees Jeffrey's expression. Sandy hasn't seen it yet.

Detective Williams goes to Jeffrey. He looks him straight in the eye. He

also positions himself between Jeffrey and T.R. Gordon.

DETECTIVE WILLIAMS

Easy does it Jeffrey. Behave yourself.

don't blow it.

Sandy becomes curious and moves over to Jeffrey and her father. Jeffrey

decides to trust Detective Williams. The Yellow Man (T.R. Gordon) yells

again.

YELLOW MAN:

Come on John, get it in gear pal!

DETECTIVE WILLIAMS

So long Jeffrey. You two have a nice

night, okay?
