INT. CORRECTIONAL FACILITY - INTERVIEW ROOM - NIGHT A PRISON GUARD shows Sean into a large gloomy room. In thecenter of the room is a small table and two chairs. One is a simple, functional wooden kitchen chair. The other is made ofiron and sweat stained leather, bolted to the floor.

Sitting in the chair, his face in shadow, is an intimidating, man-giant - EDGAR ROY, early 30s. His arms are locked intoheavy iron cuffs attached to the armrests, his legs chainedto a heavy hoop imbedded in the concrete floor.

Sean starts as the door is slammed behind him, multiple deadbolts rammed home with an ominous CLUNK INT. BERGIN’S HOUSE - KITCHEN - SAME TIME SCREECH - as a kitchen window is forced open. Michelle climbsthrough the window, crosses to the back door, hits a switch - flooding the kitchen in light. A few dishes in the sink. An open newspaper and an empty coffee cup on the table.

Several notes pinned by magnets to the fridge door. Nothingof interest. Michelle opens the fridge. Bachelor food. She closes the fridge with a THUMP.
