Three female police investigators are working around a crime scene. All three have the same dark blue windbreaker on, dark pants, gloves, paper booties over their shoes, and their hair up in ponytails.

EVIDENCE MARKERS
Drops tented numbered evidence markers where drops of blood are found on the ground.

CAMERA
Takes a photo of the drop of blood and the evidence marker along with a brightly colored ruler she carries with her.

NOTEBOOK
Takes notes on where the drop was found and its relation to other drops.

NOTEBOOK is engrossed in her work. The other two are kind of asshole jokesters who don’t really seem to be paying much attention.

CAMERA
Did you watch it?

EVIDENCE MARKERS
The whole thing. I was going to do laundry or something, but fuck it, you know?

CAMERA

EVIDENCE MARKERS

EVIDENCE MARKERS
I don’t know. I mean. What was the timeline of events?

CAMERA
Did you read that one theory? About the brother?

EVIDENCE MARKERS
No, but I saw the headline.

CAMERA
I know it’s just reddit assholes, but it’s an interesting theory. You should read it.

NOTEBOOK

There.

EVIDENCE MARKERS

Got it.

CAMERA

Got it.

EVIDENCE MARKERS
I can’t believe I watched the whole thing.

CAMERA
I know, right? It was kind of dull. But every time one episode ended I just couldn’t help it, you know?

Guilty pause.
