208. INT. CAB - NIGHT

Driving through the night.

208A. EXT. APARTMENT BUILDING - NIGHT

Jeffrey arrives at Dorothy's apartment building and pays the driver.

He gets out of the cab and looks around. No police. Quiet. The

building looks just the same standing there in the dark. The dim lights

in the front entrance. Jeffrey moves up to the front doors and enters.

No one.

CUT TO:

209. DETECTIVE WILLIAMS' STUDY - NIGHT

Sandy is trying to get her father on the police radio.

It's very important. he said someone was

hurt and he wants Detective Williams there.

well, find him!!

210. INT. STAIRWAY - APARTMENT BUILDING - NIGHT

Jeffrey slowly climbs the stairs. His shoes squashing the carpet make

mall crushing sounds as he climbs higher into the building.

He arrives at the Seventh Floor and stops. A high-pitched whine can be

heard faintly. It gets louder as Jeffrey crosses to Dorothy's apartment

door. He gets his key out and inserts it. Turns it. With a loud click

the door swings open and the high whine becomes piercing. He sees

something and jumps back.

211. INT. DOROTHY'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

It is Detective Gordon, the Yellow Man, standing in the center of the room.

FLASHBACK:

He plays the look into the apartment again in his mind and again.

CLOSER ON DETECTIVE GORDON

Something is wrong with him. He is bleeding from the head. He stands

almost motionless. in shock.

Jeffrey peers into the room again. He enters carefully and lets the door

close behind him. He very cautiously moves forward into the room. Slowly

he moves closer to a hideous sight. Standing in the middle of Dorothy's

apartment is T.R. Gordon, the Yellow Man. He is in an extreme state of

shock. He is bleeding badly from a huge wound at the top left of his head. His eyes focused on something only his twisted inner mind see. Sitting in one of Dorothy's chairs is a dead man with no ears. only half-healed bloody wounds at each side of his head. A bullet hole in the center of his forehead. The T.V. is crushed in but it is turned on and it is the television that produces the high electrical whine. Jeffrey moves forward again and kicks the television cord out of the wall. The high whine stops instantly. Silence except for the Yellow Man's labored breathing.
