FM Pilot Script: Part One

Pilot Script Part One (newest draft as of 5/8/21)

DEX: What?

LEE: The first guy looked like his hands were taped together. And he was stumbling like he was hurt.

DEX: What are you getting at?

LEE: (getting excited) I think there might be a crime going on in that building.

DEX: Then we should call Hayes.

LEE: (inquiring) Or...

Lee looks up at Dex and gives him a pleading grin. Dex realizes what she means and shakes his head.

DEX: No. Absolutely not.

LEE: Aw come on! It'll be exciting!

DEX: No! If it's a crime, I don't want any part of it!

LEE: Please?

DEX: No.

LEE: Pretty please?

DEX: No! You heard Hayes! He said that we had to report anything suspicious to him.

LEE: Aw screw Hayes. If you come I'll try that tart thing your mom makes.

DEX: I won't lie, that's tempting, but hell no! A) If it is a crime we could be in serious danger if we chose to go in there. B) Hayes is our bloody boss Lee!

LEE: (sighs) Fine. Stay here scaredy cat.

Lee runs across the street and disappears inside the building. Oliver appears next to Dex as they watch Lee run off.

OLIVER: She's gonna get herself killed.

Dex watches her for a minute with his arms crossed and glances at Oliver, just to see that Oliver is gone. Dex sighs and his arms drop to his side.

DEX: Dammit Lee.

Dex runs over to the building and goes inside as well.

CUT TO:

INT. FIRST FLOOR IN THE APARTMENT - MOMENTS LATER

Lee slowly peers her head through the open doorway to the stairs. She looks around then notices a trail of footprints slightly outlined by blood on the floor leading towards the stairs and heading up.

LEE: (to herself) Alright, let's see what you guys are up to.

Lee quietly goes up the stairs, following the trail of blood and keeping her sight ahead of her while keeping track of the trail. The trail goes through another open doorway on the third floor and leads into a closed room that reads 312.

Lee is about to take a step towards the room when Dex grabs her shoulder. Lee turns around sharply with her fist raised and Dex raises his hands.

DEX: (whispers) Just me mate.

Lee lowers her fist and rolls her eyes, smiling slightly.

LEE: (whispers) I knew you were gonna come.

DEX: (whispers) Well I can't let you get killed on your own.
