1.ext. A Quite small cozy house-evening
Everybody inside are preparing for a holiday dinner. Close up to a good-looking young woman named Angela, she has a tender voice and pretty face. Then the camera zooms away and shows the rest of the people inside the room. There are two young boys and a girl named Jenny, all are setting the table, laughing and talking
Jenny
Mum, maybe you should call dad once again? When is he going to come home?
Angela
Soon darling, just wait a bit
A friend of Angelas son, Scott, to him
Roy
Your father always works so hard, huh?
Scott
(Laughs)Oh yeah, or maybe he just doesnt want to see us
Angela

Scott

The door opens a quite young 45- year -old man enters the house, he looks tired but happy, his name is Martin.
Martin

Martin

He hugs his daughter
Angela

(Everyone sits down to dinner; Martin pours some champagne to each person)
So, this is the day when our son gets on in the world. You both guys (to Scott and Roy) have to choose your future profession. So lets drink to that. and to you darling (to Angela)!
Angela and Jenny try to add some words to the mentioned
Martin (to Scott and Roy)
So have you guys got any plans .?
Scott
Well, mum wants me to be a doctor and Roy asks me to be a historian
Jenny
I think you should be a singer, I heard once how good you sing in the bath!
Everyone laughs
Scott

2.ext. One Month later, same house-late evening
Angela and Jenny .Theyre hugging each other
Jenny
Mum, why didnt you come with dad?
Angela
They celebrate something honey, in a restaurant. As you know I dont like neither noisy parties, nor strangers. Im always getting tired of it
Pause
Youd better go to sleep sweetie. I wont sleep anyways, so Ill be waiting for dad and Scott
Jenny
No, I want to stay
1.40 p.m. Jenny sleeps, her head lays on mothers knees
The door opens and Scott comes in
Scott (softly to mother)
Is dad still there?
Angela shakes head-yes
Scott
Maybe I should carry her to her bed?
(Lifts her up gently and takes her away than goes back and sits besides his mother, kisses and hugs her)
Go to sleep mum, I can wait alone
Angela
No, its ok
4.15a.m Angela sleeps
The phone rings. Scott gets up and takes the receiver. Listens. His face changes quickly, seems like he scares to breath
Angela woke up and looked at him alarmed
Scott
Okay, Ill be there.
(Takes down the receiver, go to Angela, he looks shocked)
Dont worry, dads feeling badly but nothing seriousIll go to him. Ill be back soon
(Gets up fast and goes away)
3. Int.Cloudy day, cemetery
Martins funeral. A group of people, all are dressed in black. We can see Martins family there.
A woman talks to another woman
Woman
I was sitting at the table in front of his. He was lingering. The party started at 8p.m., he came at 8.30p.m..Everybody loved him, he was such a nice personHe was looking cheerfully, was laughing. Took some champagnehe was standing near window and all of a sudden he started falling down. Guys set him to chair but he fell anyway. All were in panic, then called 911.When the doctors arrived he was already dead. Dissection showed that he was poisoned. We all are just shocked. He hadnt got enemies. No one else was poisoned but him and thats weird. Therefore he was killedPoor family! Especially his wife, they were such a nice couplethey say she has a poor health
Another woman
Yeah, poor girl
4. int. 5 months later. Day- outside Martins house
Scott sits on the steps of his house. Its fall, a bit rains. He looks sad and wistful.
Roy comes to him, they shake hands. Roy sits next to him
Roy
My parents told me youre here Hows everything?
Scott
Well, I guess you already know. After fathers death mum had lived only two months, she got cerebral thrombosis Her parents moved to our house to support us
Pause
I decided to enter the department of law
Roy
Why? It thought you were about to be a doctor
Scott
The investigation reached a deadlock, too many suspects but no evidences. The case was closed up soon. (In a rush)I was infuriated. The man is killed, but no ones guilty And I decided to be a detective and bare the truth
Roy
Okay and you really think its possible?
Scott
I know but I gotta do that. I live with it, I think of it all the time. I must do this
Roy (cheerfully taps on his shoulder)
Okay man, I think you gotta distract from this all. Tell me about your studies, girlfriend, friends...?
He continues telling something but Scott doesnt listen to him.
Close-up to Scotts face, we can see his face expression clearly
5. int. Ten years later.
Close-up to Scotts face, he sits in the car, looks through the window. The car stops, he gets out. He looks mature, very handsome. We can see the Scotts house. He stops, looks around, take a deep breathe. Rings the door bell
His sister, jenny, comes to him from the house. She looks much older. A good-looking man stands close to her with a baby in his arms, this man is her husband
Jenny
Scott, dear!
(Hugs and kisses him)
Scott
Oh hi
(to Jennys husband)
Hi, nice to meet you
(They shake hands, Scott looks at the baby, takes him)
6.ext Inside the house
Scott
I had no idea I have such a sweet nephew!
(Shakes him gently, kisses his cheeks)
Hello, Martin!(To Jenny) So youve decided to name him after father?
Jenny
Just look how much they look alike!
He gives the baby back to his brother-in-low and talks to jenny
Scott
I wanted to ask, have you seen Roy, a friend of mine? He was going to come here to see parents...
Jenny
Oh yeah hes called, he was asking if youve arrived. I said that youll be here tomorrow
(Looks at the window)Hey, here he is!
Roy comes to the place; they throw in each others arms, hugs
Scott
Jen, honey, I hope you dont mind if we leave for awhile?
Jenny
Sure, but not to long. I hope youll be back for dinner?
The two leave the house
