Solitude Script

SCENE 1 (Investigation Suite, Int. Day)

Inside. D.C. Brocklesby (Luke Brocklesby) and Chief Inspector Dowson (David Dowson) are inside the investigation suite, and the Chief Inspector is describing the situation to the D.C.

Chief Inspector

(Pointing at the whiteboard as he maps out setting and situation)

On July 16^th, an IC1 female went missing from Wynyard. She is believed to have long brown curled hair and was wearing a green top and dark jeans. She was last seen entering the vehicle of an IC1 male, aged around 20, wearing a blue hooded jacket and light coloured jeans. The car was a blue Peugeot 207. The car was last seen driving into a deserted area, surrounded by woodland. Your job today Brocklesby is to search the location for clues of the missing person.

D.C. Brocklesby

Is there anything else that will be required of me today sir?

Chief Inspector

If you find her, contact HQ immediately.

D.C. Brocklesby

What if I don’t find her sir?

Chief Inspector

At the moment, all we’ve got in an unconfirmed report, no girl of that description has been reported missing from the local area, if you don’t find anything, there’s no case. It’s all down to you Brocklesby.

D.C. Brocklesby

Thanks chief, I will begin the search right away.

SCENE 2 (Woodland area – Ext. Day and building Int. Day)

D.C. Brocklesby is in the woodland area, searching for the missing female, unsure whether she will be there. When he can’t find anything in the woodland, he takes a detour and walks out of the woods, into a deserted area, and he finds a building, which he thinks is unoccupied. Outside the building, there is a blue Peugeot 207 parked up with no one inside of it. After the D.C. checks that no one is around and watching him, he enters the building and finds that it is full of unwanted belongings and rubble. He immediately jumps the conclusion that no one would be here and thinks it’s time to turn back, however he still has his suspicions as to why the car was parked outside, wondering what he will find inside.

D.C. Brocklesby

Hello, is there anyone there?

 At that moment, he sees a figure in the corner of the building. As he approaches the figure, it is a female tied to a chair, matching the description that the chief described to him during the brief. He looks around to check no one is here and approaches the female.

D.C. Brocklesby

There’s no need to be alarmed, my names Brocklesby, I’m a police officer. Are you ok? Are you hurt?

Female

(Her facial expressions show that she is in pain and has been there for a long period of time)

My hands, they’re numb, I can’t feel them.

D.C. Brocklesby unties her hands from behind the chair, freeing her from any discomfort.

D.C. Brocklesby

How long have you been here for?

Female

I’m not sure, a couple of days I think. The last thing I can remember is getting into a car and then I woke up here. You’ve got to help me before he comes back.

D.C. Brocklesby

Before who comes back?

Female

The man. I got into his car because he saw me alone on the street and offered to take care of me, but then he must have brought me here and I haven’t seen him since I woke up and found myself here.

D.C. Brocklesby

Can you remember anything about this man? Hair colour, anything?

Female

He had black hair. That’s all I can remember.

D.C. Brocklesby

Ok, we need to get you back to the station and get you checked over.

(At this point D.C. Brocklesby radios over to the chief and sends for help)

Chief, I’ve found a female and she meets the description you gave me. Send over some help to Wynyard woodland. We’re inside the old warehouse just off the A689.
