EDGAR:

When I was in prison, I replayed in myhead, every image I’d seen... until Icame to this one.

MICHELLE:

Why didn’t you react when you firstsaw it?

EDGAR:

Data is nothing without context.

On the screen, two SUVs drive up to the farm buildings.

Several FIGURES get out, scout the area.

EDGAR (CONT’D) It was a Friday. Temperature wasseventy-two degrees, relative humiditythirty seven percent, dew point fortyfour, I got to work seven minutesearly. While I was here, they were onmy farm.

On the screen, the figures begin unloading what appear to bebody bags from the SUVs and taking them into the barn.

EDGAR (CONT’D) Eight days later I found the groundhad been disturbed in the barn. I gota shovel and had just uncovered thefirst body when the police came.

MEGAN:

Edgar, can you zoom in on their faces?

Edgar’s fingers fly across the keyboard.
