INT. ROZONDA AND AALIYAH APT - ROZONDA'S ROOM - NIGHT
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑
ROZONDA CLEARLY DOESN'T THINK IT'S NOTHING.
ARMED WITH THE REPORT, SHE CROSS-REFERENCES PAPERS, FILES,
THE SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE ON HER LAPTOP WHEN AALIYAH ENTERS, ALL DRESSED UP
𝐀𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐘𝐀𝐇
Okay, Brian cooked, and I left before dessert, so this better be good.
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
Pausing the playback
It's really good.
Turns out, I'm not crazy. Here.
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑
ROZONDA HANDS HER A DNA REPORT.
𝐀𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐘𝐀𝐇
I have no idea what this is surveillance footage
And what is that?
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
Surveillance footage from my case.
But that is a DNA report from a hair sample on the victim.
𝐀𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐘𝐀𝐇
And Mom's files are out... why?
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
Because it's the exact same animal-human DNA they found on Mom's killers.
Aaliyah concerned, realizing where this might be going:
𝐀𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐘𝐀𝐇
So, it's contaminated too...?
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
That's what everyone thinks but --
𝐀𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐘𝐀𝐇
They don't think it, Roz, they know it.
The sample from mom's killers was taken from the woods after a wolf attack.
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
But the percentages aren't kind of the same, they're exactly the same.
What are the chances?
𝐀𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐘𝐀𝐇
I don't know.
Maybe Taylor encountered a wolf too --
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
In the City?
𝐀𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐘𝐀𝐇
So it's more likely some man-creature'son the loose in mid-town?
Roz computer is that why you're looking at that footage?
Waiting to see some guy in a bear costume?
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
I was trying to find a link --
𝐀𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐘𝐀𝐇
What, between Mom's case, and a Vogue
Editor, and... Bigfoot?
All I see a guy in a hoodie.
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
You know what, you suck.
I was so excited to tell u, and now you're making fun of me --
𝐀𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐘𝐀𝐇
I'm not, but you have to know how it sounds.
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
I know, crazy, but I also know what I saw.
I mean, nothing about Mom's murder made sense.
A car-jacking?
Those guys came at us like hired killers.
𝐀𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐘𝐀𝐇
Maybe it's easier to then you're not...
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
What, to blame?
I'm myself off the hook.
think that, because not trying to let
𝐀𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐘𝐀𝐇
That's just it, you should.
That's what I was saying about you not feeling deserving --
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
Aaliyah, this isn't about boys.
𝐀𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐘𝐀𝐇
But u blame yourself.
Accidents happen, no one blames u.
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
Except Dad.
𝐀𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐘𝐀𝐇
He's gonna call. He's just...
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
Forget I even said that, this isn't about Dad.
Look, I know you hate to talk about it but what if there really is this... thing out there?
𝐀𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐘𝐀𝐇
Just stop it, okay?! You have to get past this.
You're ruining your life with this crazy obsession.
Rozonda stops. It's like 9 years ago, the reactions, disbelief.
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
Right. You're right.
𝐀𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐘𝐀𝐇
I'm sorry, but --
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
tearing up the REPOR
Just a fluky coincidence that pushed some buttons.
Sorry. Call Brian, see if he saved you dessert.
He deserves the calories.
I gotta work on this case anyway
𝐀𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐘𝐀𝐇
Okay. But you might feel better if u call Dad yourself,
Tell him he's a shmuck for not calling.
