Cut in-

INT- Table, Dark room, two chairs

DETECTIVE RICHARD walking through the door to the interrogation room where

BILL is sat behind the table looking around the room.

DETECTIVE RICHARD slams some papers on the table in front of BILL.

DECTIVE RICHARD presses the button on a tape recorder that is on the table.

DETECTIVE RICHARD

Interview number 13, time 3:15pm, date 8th may.

You have been arrested under the suspicion of murdering Cassandra Barnaby.

We have witnesses that can confirm your presence at the docks at 1:15 am the same time as Cassandra Barnaby is thought to of been killed. Quite suspicious wouldn’t you say.

Do you deny being there?

BILL

Yes I do deny it, I was with my friends all night. Ask them if you don’t believe me. It was my friend’s birthday you see so we went out for a few. As you do, not that you would know.

BILL smiles apprehensively

DETECTIVE RICHARD stands up and sends his chair flying backwards and begins shouting

DETECTIVE RICHARD

People like you disgust me!!!

BILL taps the table with his finger nails nervously and avoids eye contact with DETECTIVE RICHARD

BILL

She was my girlfriend!

BILL pauses for a few seconds

Why would I kill her?!

A few tears can be seen forming in the corner of BILL’s eyes

DETECTIVE RICHARD

I don’t know, but I’ll find out.

DETECTIVE RICHATD is silent for a moment then walks out of the room.
