Script:

[Detective exits the building through automatic doors, while holding an envelope and walks casually along the road. Inmate is sitting on a chair at a desk, in a separate room, struggling with his hands, handcuffed behind his back. Detective unlocks door and walks into the room where the inmate is sat.]

[Detective chucks envelope onto desk and the insides fall across the table.]

Inmate [arrogantly with disbelief]: Are you joking? We’ve been over this. How many times do I have to tell you? I didn’t do it! Panning up from envelope. MCU

Detective [calmly]: I know. Over shoulder shot (facing detective) Low angle.

Inmate [leans closer, getting louder while talking]: You’re not listening! You need to believe me. This guy is still out there. I’m telling you the truth! High angle over the shoulder shot (facing inmate)

  

Detective: No you’re not listening Over shoulder shot (facing detective) Low angle.

Inmate [defeated]: But I’m innocent. High angle over the shoulder shot (facing inmate)
