The Situation
Scene 1 EXT. Construction Site
A dead body (Du Rate) is laid sprawled on the ground with a Bent Coin in palm wearing a wedding suit tuxedo.
Inspector
Detective Mal, Private-Eye; what’s you got for me here?
Detective Mal
Evening Inspector, the situation? Suicide, jumps off the building, dead by shock before impact. Who we have here is Mr. Du Rate, his wife hired me to investigate his whereabouts; I discovered that he’s in love with another woman. Mr. Du Rate is from the Du Rate family, rich and famous and all that. His marriage with his wife was more of a business deal between the families. Following his diary, he seems to be in love even before his marriage. The woman he loved took her own life yesterday, while him, tonight.
Inspector
Double suicide. But why jump off a building?
Detective Mal
I believe, to him, by jumping off a building is like he had flied off into the next world and by doing so, left his body tumbling down to the ground; a ticket bought. The woman he loves took her life in bed by drugging herself with sleeping pills, a painless death, I assume. Well, at least their together now.
Inspector
Incredible! I assumed that they’d been planning this for awhile. But what’s with the Bent Coin in his palm?
Detective Mal
Through the letters, he kept saying that their love is priceless not like the marriage he had with his wife. Paying the Ferryman everything they have just to be together is not a price at all. They can’t be in love here, so they took it on to the next.
Inspector
So that’s love eh? How’s his wife?
Detective Mal
Pleasurable!
