EXT. DENISE'S HOUSE - DAY
A small car pulls up in the driveway. IT has a magnet sign
on the side that reads "MIGHTY MAIDS" with a phone number is
listed . A Spanish woman gets out of the car and walks to
the passenger side. She opens the Door and picks up her
chihuahua and walks towards the home.
She has on a cleaning uniform on with white shoes. The
little chihuahua has a white coat matching her uniform. She
walks to the front door and unlocks it.
INT. DENISE'S HOUSE - DAY
She walks inside and places her dog on the floor. The dog
runs straight upstairs. She looks up.
MAID
(Yells)
CHI CHI. Get down here, right now!
The Maid sees the kitchen a mess and walks towards the
refrigerator. She sees Denise's purse on the table.
MAID
(Yells)
Miss Martin, I'm going to get
started in the kitchen!
(Beat)
HELLO!
The dog begins to bark as the Maid walks towards the stairs.
The Maid begins to feel uncomfortable. She starts to walk
with caution.
MAID
(Worried)
Miss Martin, are you awake?
(Beat)
Hello?
The Maid sees the bedroom door cracked open. Chi Chi comes
running out the door with her noise red with blood and a
piece of meat in her mouth. The maid bends over and picks up
her dog.
MAID
What do you have there?
She pulls a piece of meat out of Chi Chi's mouth. She
examines it and drops it. Her heart drops to the floor as
her face turns white. She slowly walks towards the bedroom
with her dog in her arm. She pushes the door open slowly.
MAID
Denise?
The door slowly opens. The room is red with blood. Denise's
head is lying right next to the maids feet. The Maid SCREAMS
WITH FEAR.
MAID
O MY GOD!!!
She drops the dog. The dog plops to the floor and runs down
stairs. The maid places her hands over her face SCREAMING in
disbelief.
She turns around and runs down stairs and grabs her cell
phone and calls the police.
EXT. DENISE'S HOUSE - DAY
Cop cars fill the street. The crime scene tape is being ran
across the yard. Captain Bowls is walking with one of the
police officers that acted on the 911 call.
CAPTAIN
What happen here?
COP 2
Someone broke in the home last
night and killed a man and a woman
upstairs. We believe it was Denise
Martin and Dave Anderson. But we
don't know for sure.
CAPTAIN
What do you mean you don't know
for sure?
COP 2
Their bodies are in pieces and
disfigured. We think the couple
was strangle to death first, then
chopped into pieces.
The Captain shakes his head with frustration. He places his
hands on his hip.
CAPTAIN
SHIT!!!
Seth is seen walking up to the home from his car. He stares
at the house with an anxious look. He walks straight to
Captain Bowls.
SETH
Who is it this time?
CAPTAIN
We believe it is Denise Martin and
Dave Anderson. But the bodies are
hard to identify. They were
strangled then chopped up into
pieces.
SETH
Wait. Did you say Denise Martin.
CAPTAIN
Yes, that's who we think it is
anyway.
SETH
That's one of Sarah's friends.
CAPTAIN
We'll, I wouldn't mention anything
to her. She has to much to worry
about already.
SETH
I don't think that should be a
problem. She wasn't very fond of
her to start with.
Seth takes a look around to see if anything was left behind
from the killer.
SETH
Any witnesses.
CAPTAIN
None. Not a single one.
A crime scene investigator walks quickly out of the front
door of the home. He has a VIDEO RECORDER in his hand. He
walks towards the Captain and opens the side of the camera
with a white glove.
INVESTIGATOR
It looks like this couple loved to
tape themselves having sex. This
was found behind a picture on a
dresser.
The Captain rewinds the tape and pushes play. We see the
couple having sex and the Strangler walks into the room.
SETH
Wait! Rewind it.
(Beat)
Stop. Push play.
(Beat)
Pause it.
The Captain pauses it right when the Strangler walks into
the room.
SETH (CONT'D)
(Excited)
It's the Strangler. Look you can
see his eye.
CAPTAIN
It's him alright.
The Captain closes the camera and gives it back to the
Investigator.
CAPTAIN (CONT'D)
Keep this with the rest of the
evidence you have.
INVESTIGATOR
Sure, no problem.
The Investigator takes the camera and walks back inside.
Seth's phone rings.
SETH
Hello?
(Beat)
Hey, Sarah
Seth turns away from the Captain and starts to walk towards
the street.
SETH
I will stop by around eight.
(Beat)
Alright no problem but, I have to
go, so I'll see you then.
(Beat)
OK Bye.
Seth walks back to where the Captain is. The Captain is
looking at a few footprints left in the mud next to the
bushes.
SETH
Have you been inside?
CAPTAIN
Not yet.
Seth walks towards the front door.
INT. DENISE'S HOUSE - DAY
The home is surrounded by CITY OFFICIALS. Seth looks towards
a woman who is taking pictures of the kitchen.
SETH
Where are the bodies?
WOMAN 2
Upstairs, in the master bedroom.
Seth walks towards the stairs. He grabs the rail with his
white glove and pauses for a moment and closes his eyes. He
tries to get in tune with the killer. He wants to see what
the killer was seeing. His eyes open with a look of madness.
He feels a source of power from within.
He starts to take every footstep that the killer took. He
looks towards the master bedroom. He sees the door slightly
open. He slowly moves the door open and sees that the room
is covered with blood. Both bodies and parts are marked with
numbers and two men are walking around taking pictures.
Seth stands at the doorway trying to imagine exactly what
happen through his mind. The room transforms back to where
Denise and Dave where having sex. Seth quietly steps forward
and moves towards Dave. He stands behind Dave and places his
hands around him as if he was strangling him.
He acts like he places the body on the floor. He looks
towards Denise and grabs her by the throat. He sees a hole
in the wall and moves towards it. He throws his arm towards
the wall as if he just smashed her head in.
Seth pictures in his mind how Denise would kick and claw at
his face. He quickly snaps out of it and looks to the
ground. He sees small pieces of skin with bone shaving. He
turns towards the bedroom door and walks out.
CUT TO:
EXT. DENISE'S HOUSE - DAY
Seth is seen walking out the front door in a hurry. The
Captain stares at him as he is walking by.
CAPTAIN
Seth, is everything OK?
SETH
Yeah, I just need some time to
think.
Seth continues towards his car and gets inside and drives
off in a hurry. The investigator walks towards the Captain.
INVESTIGATOR
Is he going to be alright?
CAPTAIN
Yeah, I think so. He just blames
himself for not catching these
killers before they pick there
next victim.
INVESTIGATOR
Maybe, he should take some time
off.
Beat.
CAPTAIN
(Shakes his head)
He won't, not until he puts them
behind bars.
INT. SETH'S HOUSE - NIGHT
We see Seth pull up to his home from inside his bedroom
through the window. He walks in from the front door. He
walks to the kitchen and checks the answering machine. No
messages.
Seth pulls out a glass from the sink. He grabs a bottle of
VODKA from the counter. He pours it in the glass until it's
half full. He slams it and places the glass on the counter
and fills it up half way again. He slams it down and places
the glass in the sink.
HE walks upstairs to the bedroom. He unbuttons his shirt and
turns the shower on. He stares into the mirror.
SETH
Your loosing it. Get it together
DAM IT. What the hell is wrong
with you, you're supposed to be
the best.
CUT TO:
INT. JASMINE'S HOUSE - NIGHT
Sarah is in the bedroom going through Jasmine's closet
looking for some clothes. She finds a dark blue dress that
stops at the knees.
SARAH
What do you think about this one?
JASMINE
That'll look good on you. I
haven't worn that dress in years.
Sarah turns to a long mirror on the closet door. She places
it against her body. The blue dress flows along with her
shape.
JASMINE (CONT'D)
So, where you two going tonight?
SARAH
I don't know. I think I might try
to see if we can have dinner at
his place. I really don't feel
like going out.
JASMINE
