14 EXT. PEMBROKE JAIL - DAY 14
As DETECTIVE DEARBORN makes his way outside, a large mob is
gathered in front of the Jailhouse demanding that Drew be
immediately hanged.
MOB MEMBER 1
Bring him out!
The entire crowd is chanting "Bring Drew out, Bring Drew
out!"
MOB MEMBER 2
(Holding a rope)
Let's lynch Drew now!
MOB MEMBER 3
Drew is a monster! Let justice be served!
MOB MEMBER 4
Hang him high, Hang him high!
Detective Dearborn is compelled to draw a revolver on the
crowd to settle them down enough to talk to them.
DETECTIVE DEARBORN
Okay, Okay everyone! I know that you are
upset; but we have everything under
control. Please go home.
A reporter from the Concord Monitor pushes his way to the
front of the crowd and begins to ask Detective Dearborn
questions about Drew.
REPORTER
Detective, is it true that Drew's cast-
off bloody clothes have been found?
DETECTIVE DEARBORN
I have no comment at this time.
REPORTER
The Manchester paper is reporting that a
handkerchief containing Josie's missing
body parts was found in a haystack in
Drew's barn. Can you confirm this?
DETECTIVE DEARBORN
Let's just say that we are building a
strong case against the prisoner.
REPORTER
Will the case be solved by the funeral on
Wednesday and what about the 2000 dollar
reward?
DETECTIVE DEARBORN
(ignoring the reporter)
Okay, break it up. Go home… everything is
under control.
A man pushes his way through the dispersing crowd and hands
Dearborn a TELEGRAM. Dearborn silently reads it.
