Transcripción completa de Reflection 5: The Red Cabinet

MUSIC CUE INTERIOR HOSPITAL ROOM AMBIENCE WOMAN Like a trickle of rain that seeps into the soft dirt, birthing rivulets that gather in to streams, gaining speed and volume until miles away it builds into a raging river, it had started long before I got involved. I was just a splash in the rapids. Not that I shun my responsibility. I was no angel... Am no angel. MUSIC THEME ANNOUNCER This is 13 Reflections. Reflection 5: The Red Cabinet MUSIC CUE - SHERIFF STATION NARRATOR The Sheriff stands in the hallway peeking through the small glass window of a door. FOOTSTEPS APPROACH AGENT LEE I came as soon as I could, Sheriff. What have you learned? SHERIFF Well, Agent Lee, I’ve learned that the world I thought I knew is truly screwed up. AGENT LEE Why don’t we start with the facts. SHERIFF Okay. I went to Mina’s place, the door was opened, so I enter and I guess what I find? Mrs. Harker standing over a dead body. AGENT LEE Was it Mina? SHERIFF No. The body had both her arms. AGENT LEE How was she killed? SHERIFF You might not think this is odd but she was missing half of her head. Sliced clean off like a watermelon in summer. AGENT LEE But how is that possible? SHERIFF Beats me. You think we should ask the arm? AGENT LEE But she IS dead? SHERIFF If you’re asking if she got up and shook my hand without half a brain. No. As a doornail level dead. AGENT LEE Cause of death? SHERIFF What the hell do you think? AGENT LEE I have my theories but what is the official cause of death? SHERIFF The coroner ain’t got nothing else to do so he’s all over this but it might be a couple hours yet. AGENT LEE I see. What did Mrs. Harker have to say? SHERIFF Not much but then again, I’m just a small town Sheriff. Why don’t you, the FBI agent go interview her and see what you can find out? INTERIOR DOOR OPENS FOOTSTEPS ON LINOLEUM CHAIRS SLIDE BUTTS SIT DOWN SHERIFF Mrs. Harker, Agent Lee would like to ask you a few questions. AGENT LEE I know it’s been a difficult day can you tell me what happened? ASHLEY Why don’t you tell me what happened to Lucy? AGENT LEE Do you mean the dead girl? That was Lucy? ASHLEY Don’t you people talk to each other? When I got there she was already like that. AGENT LEE But I thought you didn’t know Mina Chu. ASHLEY I don’t. Who’s Mina Chu? AGENT LEE The missing girl who lives at that apartment. ASHLEY That’s Lucy’s place. SHERIFF Oh. Didn’t I mention that? Lucy and Mina were roommates. Jesus. ASHLEY AGENT LEE Okay. Then what were you doing there? ASHLEY I went to speak to Lucy. She’s my babysitter. AGENT LEE The same babysitter on the night your daughter went missing? ASHLEY Yes. AGENT LEE What did you want to talk to her about? ASHLEY I uh. Just if she remembered anything from that night. AGENT LEE Like? ASHLEY I don’t know. Strangers outside or noises. AGENT LEE Wasn’t she already questioned? SHERIFF Yupper. She was. Deputy talked to her the night Polly went missing. Didn’t come up with anything odd. AGENT LEE So let’s see if I understand this, Mrs. Harker’s babysitter Lucy is the roommate of missing Mina Chu? SHERIFF Correct-a-mundo. AGENT LEE And Mina Chu... SHERIFF The one armed bandit? She is the girlfriend of non other than the screaming meanie Billy Hazelbob. AGENT LEE So there is the link. SHERIFF There’s A link. But where’s Mina? ASHLEY And where’s Polly? AGENT LEE Both important questions. But the most important answer is how do we get them back? KNOCK ON THE DOOR SHERIFF Yeah? DEPUTY Call for you Sheriff. It’s the coroner. SHERIFF I’ll take it in here. CHAIR SLIDES BACK PHONE HANDSET PICKS UP SHERIFF Yeah. Hi Barney. What’d you find? ASHLEY Can I go now? AGENT LEE I believe we have what we need. SHERIFF What are you saying? What do you mean her heart’s gone? Hang on. BUTTONS PUSHED PHONE HANDSET PUT DOWN SHERIFF You’re on speaker with the FBI. CORNER Like I was telling the Sheriff. I opened her chest cavity and her heart wasn’t there. SHERIFF Did you check under the table? CORONER I didn’t drop it. It wasn’t there. It was as if someone just reached in and yanked it out. SHERIFF But there wasn’t a mark on her. Yeah Okay. Except for her head but there wasn’t a mark on her body. No cuts. No wounds. Nothing. CORONER I think I’d remember cutting out her heart. I’m telling you it was just gone. SHERIFF Damn it Barney. Check the floor. CORONER I looked. SHERIFF Look again. SHERIFF SLAMS PHONE DOWN ASHLEY Her heart is missing? AGENT LEE That’s impossible. SHERIFF Like an arm grabbing your ankle? ASHLEY What are you talking about? AGENT LEE Nothing, Mrs. Harker. You should go.

SHERIFF Deputy. Get him out of here. AGENT LEE Where are they taking him? SHERIFF Treasure Valley Psychiatric Asylum. Maybe they can make some sense of his rantings. AGENT LEE Yes, let’s hope so.
