7.      INT.  SECURITY LOUNGE OF THE AIRPORT - SAME

 

Desmond enters.  Cole and another man, SAM STANLEY, walk towards him.

 

COLE

(motioning to the man standing there)

CHET, GIVE SAM STANLEY THE GLAD

HAND.  HE'S COME OVER FROM SPOKANE.

 

Desmond and Stanley shake.

 

STANLEY

It's a pleasure.  I've heard a lot about

you.

 

COLE

SAM'S THE MAN WHO CRACKED THE

WHITEMAN CASE.

 

DESMOND

Congratulations.  I heard about that.

 

COLE

(plowing ahead)

YOUR SURPRISE, CHET.  HER NAME IS LIL.

 

LIL walks to them from another room.  She goes into a contorted dance.

 

8.      LIL'S DANCE

 

Things we notice.

 

--  She makes a sour face.

 

--  She walks in place.

 

-- She puts one hand in her pocket and makes a fist with the other.

 

-- While she is doing this, she blinks with both eyes.

 

-- She is wearing a red wig.

 

At one point during this Cole adds a sentence.

 

COLE

SHE'S MY MOTHER'S SISTER'S GIRL.

 

Cole holds four fingers in front of his eyes.

 

DESMOND

(noticing the fingers)

Federal?

 

Cole gives him the thumbs up.

 

Lil finishes her dance.

 

COLE

GOOD LUCK, CHET.

(turns to Sam)

SAM, YOU STICK WITH CHET, HE'S GOT

HIS OWN M.O. MODUS OPERANDI.

(back to Chet)

YOU CAN REACH ME AT THE

PHILADELPHIA OFFICES.  I AM FLYING

OUT TODAY

 

DESMOND

Right, Gordon.  We'll be in touch.

 

9.      EXT.  HIGHWAY ON THE WAY TO DEER MEADOW - DAY

 

Desmond's car on the highway.

 

10.     INT.  DESMOND'S CAR - SAME

 

As they barrel down the highway -

 

STANLEY

That was really something.  That

dancing girl.

(after a beat)

What did it mean?

 

DESMOND

Code.  If you work with Gordon you learn

that right away.

 

STANLEY

Code, I've heard a lot about this.

 

Desmond pulls his arm back so that only his fingers come out of his

sleeve.

 

DESMOND

Sort of shorthand.

 

STANLEY

(missing the humor)

Shorthand.  really?

 

DESMOND

We're heading into a difficult situation.

 

STANLEY

How do you figure?

 

DESMOND

I'll explain it to you.  Do you remember

Lil's dance?

 

As Desmond explains we -

 

INTERCUT WITH:

 

11.     FLASHBACK:  LIL'S DANCE

 

In slow motion.

 

ON LIL'S SOUR FACE

 

DESMOND

Lil was wearing a sour face.

 

STANLEY

What do you mean?

 

DESMOND

Her face had a sour look...  that means

we're going to have trouble with the

local authorities.  They are not going to

be receptive to the FBI.

 

ON LIL BLINKING BOTH EYES

 

DESMOND

Both eyes blinking means there is going

to be trouble higher up...  the eyes of the

local authority.  A sheriff and a deputy.

That would be my guess.  Two of the

local law enforcers are going to be a

problem.

 

ON LIL PUTTING ONE HAND IN HER POCKET AND ONE IN A FIST

 

DESMOND (continued)

If you noticed she had one hand in her

pocket which means they are hiding

something, and the other hand made a

fist which means they are going to be

belligerent.

 

ON LIL WALKING IN PLACE

 

DESMOND (continued)

Lil was walking in place which means

there's going to be a lot of legwork

involved.

 

WE SEE COLE PUTTING HIS FINGERS IN FRONT OF HIS FACE AND SAYING LIL

IS HIS SISTER'S GIRL.

 

DESMOND (continued)

Cole said Lil was "his mother's sister's

girl".  What is missing in that sentence?

The Uncle.

 

STANLEY

Oh, the uncle is missing.

 

DESMOND

Not Cole's Uncle but probably the

sheriff's uncle in federal prison.

 

STANLEY

So the sheriff had got an Uncle who's

committed a serious crime.

 

ON LIL'S RED WIG

 

DESMOND

Right, which is probably why Lil was

wearing a red wig meaning we are

headed into a dangerous situation.  Let

me ask you something, Stanley, did you

notice anything about the dress?

 

STANLEY

The dress she was wearing had been

altered to fit her.  I noticed a different

colored thread where the dress had been

taken in.  It wasn't her dress or she

must have lost some weight.

 

DESMOND

Gordon said you were good.  The tailored

dress is our code for drugs.  Did you

notice what was pinned to it?

 

STANLEY

A blue rose.

 

DESMOND

Very good, but I can't tell you about

that.

 

Stanley rides along quietly for a while.

 

STANLEY

What did Gordon's tie mean?

 

DESMOND

What?  That's just Gordon's bad taste.

 

STANLEY

Why couldn't he have just told you all

these things?

 

DESMOND

He talks loud.  And he loves his code.

 

STANLEY

I see.  He does talk loud.

 

DESMOND

Gordon would not have sent us to Deer

Meadow without thinking it was a

high priority situation.

 

STANLEY

It must be a high priority situation.

 

12.     EXT.  HIGHWAY - SAME

 

Desmond's car drives off.

 

DISSOLVE TO:

 

13.     EXT.  DEER MEADOW SHERIFF'S STATION - AFTERNOON

 

Desmond and Stanley arrive.  The Sheriff's Station is in a sorry

state outside...  They walk up to the old steps and enter.

 

14.     INT.  DEER MEADOW SHERIFF'S STATION, RECEPTION AREA - DAY

 

Agent Desmond and Stanley walk into a very small reception area.  At

the counter Desmond shows his badge to CLIFF HOWARD, the Deputy.

 

DESMOND

Good afternoon, Federal Bureau of

Investigation, Special Agent Chet

Desmond.  I'd like to see Sheriff Cable.

 

Cliff just smiles for a long minute.

 

CLIFF

Why don't you folks have a seat.  Make

yourself at home.  It's gonna be a while.

 

Desmond stays standing and Stanley sits.  After another long moment,

Cliff joins the SECRETARY in a conspiratorial giggle over the long

wait they are planning to give the FBI.  In the middle of a giggle

Cliff smiles up at Desmond.

 

CLIFF (continued)

Why don't you have some of that coffee.

It was fresh two days ago.

 

Cliff has a good laugh over this and leans again over the secretary

pretending to look at some paper work.  They both laugh.

 

DESMOND

Okay, that's it.  I've had enough of the

waiting room now.

 

CLIFF

(still smiling)

Oh.

 

Desmond walks towards the door that obviously must go to Sheriff

Cable's office.

 

Cliff blocks his way with his arm across the doorway, daring him to

do something.  While they stare eye to eye, Desmond's hand goes up

slowly towards Cliff's face in a slow mesmerizing way.  Cliff tries

to knock Chet's hand away.  Chet counters by grabbing Cliff's nose

and pinches a nerve to its side injecting Cliff with a great amount

of pain.

 

CLIFF (continued)

AAAHHHHHHHH...

 

Desmond spins the deputy 180 degrees placing himself on the inside of

the office and then still pressing the nerve guides Cliff down into a

chair.

 

While the Deputy's eyes tear copiously Desmond turns to the secretary.

 

DESMOND

You can start that FRESH pot of coffee

right now.

 

Desmond stalks to Sheriff Cable's office.  Stanley remains behind

continuing to observe every detail.

 

15.     INT.  SHERIFF CABLE'S OFFICE - DAY

 

SHERIFF CABLE looks up from his work.

 

CABLE

How the hell did you...

 

Desmond shows his credentials.

 

DESMOND

Federal Bureau of Investigation, Special

Agent Chet Desmond.

 

Cliff, still holding his nose, appears just behind Desmond, who turns

to him.

 

DESMOND (continued)

That's all right, Deputy, Sheriff Cable

can take it from here

 

Cable signals Cliff to leave.

 

DESMOND (continued)

I'm here to investigate the murder of

Teresa Banks.

 

CABLE

Well, little fella, we don't need any

outside help here.  I don't like you

people sniffin' around my neck of the

woods.  In fact, when the state boys

called me about a "J. Edgar" coming up I

think I said, "So what?"

 

DESMOND

Your behavior is not funny and is

wasting the time of the Federal

Government.

 

CABLE

You're lucky I am not wasting you.

 

DESMOND

Well, little fella, let me put it this way.

The operative word here would be

"Federal".  With or without the

semantics of all this, I am now ordering

you to release all pertinent information

concerning Teresa Banks, both while

living and deceased.

 

Cable retrieves a box with the paper work and some personal effects.

He throws it to Desmond.

 

CABLE

A basic kill.  Banks was a drifter and

nobody knew her.  My boys have been all

over this.  It's a dead end.

 

DESMOND

That's why we're here, Sheriff Cable.

Where's the body?

 

CABLE

Out back in our morgue

 

Desmond starts to leave.

 

CABLE (continued)

It's 4:30.  We close at five.

 

DESMOND

We've got our own clock.  We'll lock up.

 

As Desmond turns to leave he notices on the wall a framed Newspaper

clipping with picture.

 

The caption reads:

 

"CABLE BENDS STEEL"

 

The newspaper shows a picture of Cable in a He-Man pose bending a

steel BAR into a U shape.  He turns to leave and Stanley seems to

have appeared right on time.  Desmond moves down the hall and Stanley

follows.

 

16.     EXT.  SHERIFF'S STATION - DAY

 

As Desmond and Stanley walk to the adjoining morgue they see a pile of

steel BARS similar to the one they saw Cable bending in the picture.

 

AT THE MORGUE DOOR

 

Stanley moves up to Desmond and speaks confidentially.

 

STANLEY

You know, Agent Desmond, I figure this

whole office, furniture included, is

worth 27,000 dollars.

 

Desmond doesn't know what to say to him.  They enter the morgue.

 

17.     INT.  TINY MORGUE - DAY

 

Teresa's body is on the platform in the middle of the room,  Stanley

hangs his recorder on the hooks at the end of the autopsy table and

puts on rubber gloves.  Desmond opens Teresa Banks file.

 

DESMOND

(reading)

Teresa Banks lived at the Canyon

Trailer Park for a month.  We'll check

that.  And worked as a waitress at Hap's

Truck Stop.  Worked the Night Shift.

Good place for dinner when we're thru

here, Sam.

(flips to another page)

No one came to claim the body and no

known next of kin.

 

As Desmond is doing this, Stanley takes out his SPECIAL MACHINE.

Desmond looks up from his work and notices.

 

STANLEY

Solved the Whiteman Case with this.

 

DESMOND

That's what I heard.

 

STANLEY

No one could find those splinters

without a machine like this.  And no one

had a machine like this.

 

DESMOND

That's good.

 

STANLEY

Yes, it is good.

(looks around)

What do you think is in these other

drawers?

 

DESMOND

I don't know, Sam.

 

STANLEY

Maybe, later we could take a look.

 

DESMOND

Sure, but let's finish up with this first.

 

Getting to work, Stanley's face goes right over Teresa's.

 

STANLEY

(into his recorder)

Crushed skull.  Probable cause repeated

blows to the back of the head with an

obtuse angled blunt object.  Subject

looks to be between 16 and 18 years of

age.

 

DESMOND

Cole said she was 17.

 

Stanley's eyes drift to Teresa's left hand.

 

STANLEY

I wonder where her ring is?

 

Desmond notices the mark on her hand as well.

 

DESMOND

Yeah.

(looking into the personal effects)

Personal effects include a watch, under

garments, and a blue waitress

uniform...  the ring is missing.  It says

the rest of her things haven't been

removed yet from the trailer.  Let's

hope it's there.

 

Stanley picks up her left hand.

 

INSERT: BANKS LEFT HAND

 

In Stanley's hand.

 

ON THE SCENE

 

STANLEY

There appears to be a contusion under

the ring finger of her left hand.

 

DESMOND

Oh.

 

Stanley peers underneath the fingernail.

 

STANLEY

A laceration.

 

Stanley brings over his "Whiteman" instrument.  Works the left hand

under it.

 

DESMOND

Accidental?

 

STANLEY

Agent Desmond, would you hold the

finger for me.  There's something up

there.

 

He gets whatever it is with a long set of tweezers.

 

DESMOND

What is it?

 

STANLEY

It is a piece of paper with the letter "T"
