Freeze Frame Page #6

Synopsis: Ten years ago, after being accused of a hideous murder of a mother and her twin daughters, Sean Veil became paranoid, filming himself along twenty-four hours a day to have an alibi if necessary. The small time psychologist Saul Seger became a famous forensic profiler and writer with the case and every now and then he accuses Sean Veil of the crime. The reporter Katie Carter believes in Sean's innocence. When the body of the missing Mary Shaw is found, Sean has to prove where he was five years ago. However, the tapes that can prove that he is not guilty have mysteriously disappeared from the storage shelf and Sean suspects that Saul has stolen them to incriminate him.

of the murders of Katie...

I...

can...

- show you.

- What?

I can show you.

Webcam.

I managed to switch it to record

after she turned my cameras off.

You won't believe me, Sean

but...

I'm genuinely sorry to

have to do this to you.

After all these years...

I just couldn't cope with people looking

at me the way they probably look at you.

Thinking, 'Killer's blood runs

through her veins.'

- It doesn't...

- Thinking

She shares the same genes as the father

that killed her mother and sisters.'

- You do.

- I know.

And if it ever got out

if people knew or even suspected...

it would turn me into a freak.

I've survived.

But at what cost?

- Seger was right about one thing.

- What?

The darkness invisible in

the heart of most killers.

Looking at you...

no one would ever believe you could

even pull that trigger.

Well, they'd be wrong

wouldn't they?

Seger could tell them that! Mary Shaw!

But you didn't shoot her.

It was an accident.

You said so yourself.

It was.

So is this, in its own way.

No, please! Please!

No, don't! Don't! Don't!

We can find a way out of this!

We can come up with a plan!

Please! Trust me!

Trust me, please!

Please, please, don't.

Don't. Please.

- No!

- Please! Please, please...

Don't!

Move away from her, Veil.

- I'll only ask you once.

- You don't understand!

It's you who doesn't understand, Veil.

I don't have time for

hostage negotiation.

I've been visualizing

that postmortem, Veil.

Seeing that buzz-saw cut you up.

That can only mean one thing...

- Don't. He didn't do it.

- What?

Truth is, he's the only innocent person

in any of this! Don't!

We'll have to let God decide that

won't we?

Be judging us both soon.

No! No!

I didn't do nothing!

I didn't do nothing!

I didn't do nothing!

I didn't do nothing!

I didn't do nothing!

I didn't kill anybody!

You'll still have to come and give us

a statement at some point.

I can give it on camera?

You can give it on a dozen

if you want.

Sean, if I was

to accidentally lose this...

Accidentally on purpose lose it?

No, everyday, non-conspiracy lose it.

What would that mean to your defence?

Nothing.

I'm covered.

- I'm Alibi'd up.

- How's that?

I e-mailed it to the newspaper

before you got here.

Things to remember. Six.

Never stop filming yourself.

Ever.

Off-camera is off-guard.
