A DETECTIVE WALKS INTO A WINDOWLESS ROOM AND SITS DOWN OPPOSITE A UNIFORMED POLICEMAN:
DT:
As you know I'm here to help with the Doctor Black Murder. So I want you to tell me everything you have so far.
PC:
It's a complete mystery at the moment sir.
DT:
Well you must have something, what was the murder weapon?
PC:
We're not entirely sure but we have narrowed down sir, it was either a Dagger.....
DT:
Ah the old Dagger! A deadly weapon indeed.
PC:
Or a Revolver, A rope, some lead piping, a spanner, or a candlestick
DT:
What! You've got it narrowed down to six murder weapons! Could you be any less specific? What did the autopsy say, what clues were found in the room?
PC:
To be honest sir, we're not sure what room it was either.
DT:
Not sure what room it was? Not sure what bloody room it was? Where did you find the body for Gods sake?
PC:
We do have it narrowed down to nine, The Ballroom, the Library....
DT:
For crying out loud! Do we at least have a suspect?
PC:
Not a suspect as such....
DT:
How many?
PC:
Six.
DT:
Six possible weapons, Six possible suspects, and nine possible rooms ... what kind of investigation are you running here?
PC:
It's been quite fun actually.
DT:
Don't play games with me, if we don't solve this then it will happen again, & again & again & it won't be fun believe me.
PC:
We do have an eye witness.
DT:
At last! Something concrete!
PC:
She thinks it was the Clergyman, she's coming in today for an ID parade.
CUT TO:
THE DETECTIVE & THE PC STANDING WITH AN OLD LADY IN FRONT OF A TWO WAY MIRROR.
WE PAN ACROSS AN IDENTITY PARADE OF FOUR PEOPLE IN VICAR COSTUMES AND THE FIFTH PERSON IS A LIFESIZE GREEN CLUEDO PIECE.
OLD LADY:
It's Number five, definitely number five, I'd recognize that face anywhere.
PC: (PULLS BLACK ENVELOPE OUT OF HIS TOP POCKET, AND TAKES A PEEK)
I Think she may be right.
