EXT. CHANNINGWAY APARTMENTS
A two story apartment complex. Three unmarked police cars
pull up in front.
INT. CAR
BOXERBAUM driving, a young PLAIN CLOTHES OFFICER in the
passenger seat.
BOXERBAUM
5673 Old Livingston. That's his
current address.
The YOUNG OFFICER checks his weapon, puts it back in the
waistband of his pants, then puts on a Domino Pizza hat
and grabs a pizza box from the back seat.
EXT. REAR OF BUILDING
TWO OFFICERS carefully approach the rear of BILLY'S ground
floor apartment. One looks in a window. He can't see
anyone, but the floor of the living room is covered with
kids toys: blocks, trucks, etc. Then we hear voices. We
can't make out what they're saying, but It's some kind of
argument between three men: one with an English accent,
one with some sort of Eastern European accent, and one
American mid-west.
FIRST OFFICER
Shit. He's not alone.
EXT. FRONT DOOR
As the YOUNG OFFICER rings the bell.
In a moment, BILLY answers the door.
YOUNG OFFICER
Pizza. You Billy Milligan?
BILLY
Who?
YOUNG OFFICER
Billy Milligan? 5673 Old
Livingston?
BILLY
I'm not Billy Milligan and I didn't
order any pizza.
INT. CAR
As BOXERBAUM watches from a distance -- his hand on his
gun.
EXT. FRONT DOOR
YOUNG OFFICER
You're sure you're not William
Stanley Milligan?
BILLY
Huh?
The YOUNG OFFICER throws the pizza up into BILLY'S face
and pulls out his gun, holding it against his head.
YOUNG OFFICER
Freeze. Police Officer.
BILLY
What's going on?
COPS are suddenly everywhere. Bursting in through the
back door, piling out of cars, all with guns drawn.
INT. REAR OF APARTMENT
Where the TWO OFFICERS who heard voices are barreling
through, expecting an ambush.
FIRST OFFICER
He's not alone!
SECOND OFFICER
Alright, motherfuckers, come on out!
THE YOUNG OFFICER grabs BILLY and turns him around. Using
BILLY'S body as a shield, he drags him through the
apartment, looking for accomplices.
THE COPS
kick the closet door, then the bathroom door -- all empty.
ONE COP
steps on a LEGGO fort -- crushing it.
ANOTHER COP
grabs a Smith and Wesson nine millimeter from under a
chair in the living room.
YOUNG OFFICER
Where are they?
BILLY
Who? There's no one here.
A COP
finds several paintings. He moves one and reveals the
picture of the little boy we saw being worked on earlier.
BOXERBAUM enters frame. It clicks. He goes over to BILLY
and yanks his fingers open. They're completely paint
stained.
ANOTHER COP
finds wallets, cash and I.D.'s on top of a dresser. He
picks up two credit cards and a drivers license belonging
to Carrie Dryer. Donna West and Polly Newton,
respectively.
YOUNG OFFICER
(as he cuffs Billy)
William Milligan, you're under
arrest. You have the right to
remain silent...
(etc.)
As we PRESS IN on BILLY.
EXT. THE FRANKLIN COUNTY JAIL
As a police truck pulls up. TWO GUARDS open the rear
doors and out steps a group of PRISONERS, all handcuffed
to each other -- except for BILLY, who pops out free as a
bird, giving the GUARDS the finger. The BLACK PRISONER
who had been cuffed to him is panicked.
BLACK PRISONER
I didn't do nothin' I swear I didn't
do nothin'
ONE GUARD holds BILLY while the other re-cuffs him.
