2. Logline: Two Partner detectives on the hunt for a serial killer with a very unusual perpetrator.
3. A closed off crime scene, in a dark, dirty street beneath a hotel. A detective is kneeling over the dead body which is covered in sheet.
Blood is spread across the ground.
A second detective walks on to the scene to greet his partner. The first detective is surprised that he has come and seems somewhat nervous.
The second detective kneels down to examine the body as well. They death has been reported as a suicide. The second detective believes its more than that.
He begins to pull back the sheet to see the victim. The first detective tries to stop him, but its to late. The second detective is in shock to see his wife laying there on the ground. He is utter shock, unable to move. The sorrow and remorse in both detectives faces is obvious. All he can do is walk away.
Later, inside an office, mere hours after his wife's funeral, the detective can't help but contemplate what has happened in the past few days.
He can not believe someone as loving as his wife would commit suicide.
His partner knocks on the door, hoping that he can come him and comfort him. He tries telling him that they found a suicide note and that the cased is closed. There is nothing that either of them can do. He just has to learn to accept it. But he can't. He does not respond to his friends comforts. The second detectives leaves some flowers and leaves.
The husband can not deal with the grief and spends most of his days alone in the park.
Another man comes and sits next to him to take a rest.
He recognizes him as the detective that lost his wife. He tells him that he was surprised that they never questioned his side of the story, since he reported the death to the police. He was in the hotel room just next door to his wife's. He explains that he heard a scuffle between two people, one of which was his wife.
The husband is in complete wonder in why this never went to the report. He stands up and runs away to find his partner.
His partner in his their office, sorting through papers.
The husband barges frantically screaming that he has found evidence in his wife's case.
His partner tells him that he has to let her go. It has been months since her death. The case is closed. But the husband then explains the evidence he has found.
His partner tone and personality becomes very serious very quickly. He turns, seriously staring into his eyes. He slowly reaches toward his holster.
The Husband looks at him with a confused look. The gun is pulled right on his face. The husband is frozen still in shock. No one moves.
A stiff silence falls on the room. The gun is cocked.
The husband finally asks what is going on to break the silence. His partner explains that he knows what happened to his wife.
He was in that hotel room with her that night. He was having an affair with his wife.
A flashback to the night of the incident. His wife is waiting in an empty hotel room, silently waiting on the bed, with no movement.
A knock is heard at the door.
The husband partner walks in with a large smile on his face, tired from his job at work.
He promptly tries holds his partners wife with a sexual passion. The wife refuses and back away from his advances.
She explains that they can not do this anymore. She loves her husband, and she is going to tell. His partner becomes wildly upset and threatens her not to.
He grabs her, a scuffle breaks out, resulting in her accidentally falling out he window.
His partner threatens that if he tries to run from the office, he will shoot and kill him. He tells him that there is no use in trying to fight him.
The look on the husband's face is of amazement slowly turning into anger. He tries to make and advance but the cocking of his partners gun makes him stop.
His partner tells him to just sit down. He apologies for everything that has happened, and that their friendship ended the way it did.
The husband hands are seen being tied up to the chair.
His partner leaving the office, turning back to give a look of remorse to his partner.
