- 2. 1 fade in: SCENE 1 INT. IN CAR. DAY KATE is a middle aged woman driving her car home from work, listening to the radio. She is dressed quite formally and is returning home from work. The interior of the car is a mess and she is seen to be crying. The song To Build a Home The Cinematic Orchestra feat. Patrick Watson comes on. She turns up the song, and then pulls over to regain composure. She then turns the radio off, wiping her eyes. The rest of the drive home is silent. She pulls into the driveway of a modern detached house which is presented well. She walks to the house and unlocks the door. SCENE 2 INT. INSIDE HOUSE DAY KATE caresses a jacket on the coat rack and smells it as she wipes away her tears. She walks into the kitchen which is perfectly laid out and immaculately clean and makes herself a cup of tea. She carries the tea to the large dining table grabbing the post on her way. SCENE 3 INT. DINING TABLE DAY KATE is sat at the dining table with flowers and condolence cards laid out on the side cabinet. She is opening and reading condolence cards for her late husband. KATE starts to cry. As she is wiping away her tears, the phone rings, playing a chirpy ringtone. KATE glances over at it taking a deep breath before picking it up to answer. KATE (Sniffling) Hello?

KATE I know, I-know JANE (concerned) You have so many amazing memories with him, just think of all the good times youve had together. KATE is silent, staring blankly into space. (Pause) Listen Kate, I know its really not a good time to be asking, but he was working on a work project with Paul and we really need the documents, I dont suppose you could have a look and see if you could find them for me. KATE KATE composes herself, thinking. She rubs her eyes and puts her hands on her temples. Umohugh He used to file important things in the bureau. Ill go and have a look and Ill call you if I find anything. JANE If you could that would be amazing, thank you, Ill speak to you later. KATE hangs up the call, sighing. She puts her mobile on the table and walks through to his study.

It is locked and so she sets it to one side and continues looking through the files. KATE opens the last draw and as she picks up a pile of papers a small key falls out. Knowing the key is for the box she unlocks it. She pulls out a small photograph of a young girl, a lock of hair and a list of names. KATE (To herself confused) What is this? SCENE 5 INT. DINING TABLE - DAY KATE sits down at the table as she opens her laptop. Opening up google she searches the first of the names. The screen displays a no results page. KATE (To herself, muttering) Ok what about you Jaqueline Cozier? She types the name in the google search bar, again nothing. KATE (CONT.)(puzzled) Ok lets try one more. She types the name into google and it brings up a missing persons article, then the fourth suspected foul play. KATE is typing on her laptop frantically searching for responses. She sees the words Killer never found. Shocked KATE puts her hand to her mouth.

If you start bringing all this up its going to make you more upset, itll become a serious investigation. But only you can choose how to preserve his memory. How do you want him to be remembered? KATE puts the phone down. JANE (Through the phone) Kate Kate are you still there? KATE puts down the phone. The sound of the dial tone plays. SCENE 7 GARDEN EXT. DUSK The garden is fairly large and has been left to grow. There is a shed at the bottom of the garden which is where she is stood. KATE is stood in front of a chimenea which has not been lit. She takes a cigarette lighter and lights the corner of the photo of the girl. There is no sign of any emotion on her face as she stares blankly at the photo. She stares at the burning image and throws it on the fire. As it burns she hallucinates and sees his face in the flames. She is staring into the fire, crying. FADE OUT. THE END.
