She reaches for his hand. They sit together, quietly.

INT. JENSEN HOUSE, BEDROOM (2003) - NIGHT

TOM sits on the edge of the bed, while CHARLAINE sleeps. In

the pale moonlight, he stares out the window, alone in this

other world. He sees a small figure out on the street below,

looking up at his window. It’s GARY. After a beat, GARY turns

and walks off up the street.

106.

EXT. STREET - NIGHT

TOM walking along the dark street, following GARY ahead in

the distance.

EXT. ‘OLD FOREST’ - DAY

TOM is walking towards us in a grey landscape. He stops, and

sees GARY up ahead, standing at the edge of the ‘Old Forest’.

GARY disappears into it. TOM follows. He walks through dense,

dark forest, trying to keep GARY in his sights. He sees a

clearing up ahead and moves toward it.

EXT. ‘OLD FOREST’ CLEARING - DAY

As TOM reaches the clearing, he sees an empty, ABANDONED

HOUSE, (like the ones at the airport sites from earlier). He

stands looking at it across the clearing. Hidden in the

darkness of the doorway, a PAIR OF EYES, watching TOM. TOM

heads toward the HOUSE.

INT. ABANDONED HOUSE - NIGHT

TOM walks down a dark CORRIDOR. A FOX runs down the corridor

ahead of him. It disappears through an OPEN DOOR at the end.

TOM keeps moving, slowly, towards it. Again, we see EYES

hidden in the dark beyond the door, watching TOM. As he

approaches, the DOOR bangs shut. We hear it being locked from

the inside. TOM tries the handle.

TOM:

Gary? Gary!

We notice a MIRROR on the wall beside him. Unseen by TOM,

instead of his own reflection in the glass, we see GARY

there. GARY turns to face TOM, throws a TRIANGULAR ROCK from

out of the mirror, which lands at TOM’s feet. TOM turns to

the mirror, it’s his own reflection looking back at him. He

looks down for the ROCK. Not there. Turns round, JUDITH is

there, the ROCK in her outstretched hand, offered to him. As

he takes it, the DOOR clicks open in front of him. JUDITH is

gone. He enters.

INT. JENSEN HOUSE, BATHROOM - - NIGHT

TOM stands in his now cleaned up bathroom. He looks down at

the newly tiled floor. Notices a WET PATCH in one area. He

looks closer, sees water leaking out around the edges of the

tiles. He gets down on the floor, pulls at some of them, and

as they come away, he sees that beneath them is more water.

107.

Beneath the water, a FACE looking up at him, eyes open. A

YOUNG WOMAN under there, standing naked, totally submerged.

As he takes away more tiles, he sees another YOUNG WOMAN, and

another, and another. All of them naked, standing there,

silently looking up at him from beneath the surface. Waiting.

INT. THE BUNKER, GARY’S ROOM (2003) - MORNING

Eyes open. GARY lays in his make-shift BED in his small room.

TITLE over black - “JUNE 17TH, 2003 - DAY FIVE”

INT. THE BUNKER, INTERROGATION ROOM (2003) - MORNING

GARY and TOM. Facing each other. An unspoken connection.

TOM:

How’d you sleep?

GARY:

Pretty good. You?

TOM:

(nods)

Breakfast okay?

GARY:

Decent. Didn’t eat much of it.

INT. THE BUNKER, PROSECUTION VIEWING ROOM (2003) - CONTINUOUS

The rest of the TEAM watching, settling in for the session.

GARY (O.S.)

Had a stomach-ache. Didn’t want to

make it worse.

DOYON:

Great. There goes our Zagat rating.

INT. THE BUNKER, INTERROGATION ROOM (2003) - CONTINUOUS

TOM puts a photograph, of GARY from the ‘80s, on the table.

TOM:

A man can change a lot in twenty

years. I know that’s not you

anymore. The person who did all

those terrible things.

(MORE)

108.

TOM (CONT'D)

I think the man I’m looking at now,

wants to be a good man. He wants to

help us. Help the families.

GARY:

(with difficulty)

It’s just... that’s the way...

that’s the way I... when I put that

in there, it’s a place where I

locked it in there. My mind doesn’t

want to give it up.

TOM:

I understand, Gary. And I think

it’s important for you to remember,

that individual there, is very

different to this individual I’m

talking to now, okay? I know that’s

not who you want to be.

GARY nods.

TOM (CONT’D)

That’s the ‘Old Gary’. He did those

things, not you. And I want you to

know, it’s alright for you to tell

us anything. We’re not going to be

shocked, by any of it. Okay?

GARY:

Okay.

MATTSEN:

Alright. Gary, we want to go back

over what you told us yesterday

about Connie Naon.

GARY looks blank.

MATTSEN (CONT’D)

The one you bit afterwards?

TOM:

And the rock.

A moment between GARY and TOM.

GARY:

Uh huh.

MATTSEN:

Tell us what you remember about

her.

109.

GARY looks at the photograph of his ‘old’ self, thinks.

GARY:

I remember picking her up near the

Red Lion, I think...

INT. THE BUNKER, PROSECUTION VIEWING ROOM (2003) - CONTINUOUS

PETERS is spreading out papers from a file on the table.

SHERIFF REICHERT

This is everything we’ve got on her

that he could have seen, right?

Discovery materials, anything

that’s gone public, everything,

right?

PETERS:

Yes, sir. This is everything.

INT. THE BUNKER, INTERROGATION ROOM (2003) - CONTINUOUS

GARY:

We drove out south of the airport,

into the woods. We walked out to

the area where we had sex. I

couldn’t climax on top of her...

Got behind her, and climaxed, and

then after I climaxed I killed her.

TOM:

Okay.

GARY:

And like I said, she didn’t let me

touch her chest, so... I was kinda

mad I guess, and I bit her.

TOM nods, encouraging.

GARY (CONT’D)

Then I dug the hole. Close to where

she was. And I put her in there

face up...

TOM:

So, she was another one you buried?

GARY:

She was another one I buried.

110.

INT. THE BUNKER, PROSECUTION VIEWING ROOM (2003) - CONTINUOUS

SHERIFF REICHERT looking in the file.

SHERIFF REICHERT

Yup, all in here. He’s seen all

this.

INT. THE BUNKER, INTERROGATION ROOM (2003) - CONTINUOUS

GARY:

I covered her up with the rocks and

stuff from the hole, and the dirt..

TOM:

Is that where you got the rock

from?

GARY:

Uh...

TOM:

The rock you put inside her?

GARY:

The rock I put inside her. Yes, I

think so...

TOM:

Were you still mad at her? Is that

why you did that with the rock?

GARY:

I, uh... I was, uh... I’d started

getting... I had to bury her

because... and the rock... I was

trying to, uh...

GARY unsure how to go on. TOM has a FLASH IMAGE of TERRY

MILLIGAN’S DECOMPOSED REMAINS, striped blouse over her head

and legs spread.

TOM:

(gently)

You started wanting to go back?

GARY stares at TOM, clearly struggling with something.

GARY:

I, uh... I had a tendency... not a

tendency... of wanting... ever

since the first ones, at the river,

I had these...

111.

TOM slowly nodding, willing him on.

GARY (CONT’D)

... these urges... to go back to

the bodies. They were just urges. I

never acted on them.

TOM:

What you’re saying is, you had an

urge to go back and have sex with

the bodies, right?

PROTHERO clearly unaware of this.
