ACT THREE

[PRECINCT, LOCK-UP - DAY]

A corrections officer unlocks a cell door, lets Keith and Lance inside. Scoville, looking pissed off, is with his Legal Aid lawyer, Ian Yankman, 30s, chewing gum.

YANKMAN

Hey, Kogane.

BECKETT

Yankman.

YANKMAN

Who's the sidekick?

KEITH

He's a...

LANCE

Consultant?

KEITH

Consultant.

YANKMAN

Yeah? Well, uh, shouldn't you consult the consultant before you arrest the wrong guy?

KEITH

I'm not sure I have the wrong guy yet, Yankman.

YANKMAN

Well, my client's not happy. He gave you potential witnesses and then you used one against him.

KEITH

Yeah, well, your client wasn't exactly forthcoming. But I'm willing to reconsider, if he tells me everything he knows.

SCOVILLE

Don't trust him.

LANCE

Seeing as how you're facing a murder charge, why don't you just go with the flow?

YANKMAN

Consultant-boy's right. You got nothing to lose.

KEITH

The night that Donny was killed, you sold to him and his friends, right?

SCOVILLE

No.

KEITH

No?

YANKMAN

Ha... That's not how you really get him to reconsider.

SCOVILLE

I didn't sell to them! They was working for me.

KEITH

Working for you?

SCOVILLE

I supplied that punk. Alright? His friends bought off me, too. Then they'd go play "dealer", selling to the upscales in Sheep's Meadow.

KEITH

Wait a minute. They sold for you?

SCOVILLE

Donny, yeah. The others, it was just, like, a goof. Like, walk on the wild side. Like, truth or dare.

KEITH

So, where were you when Donny got shot?

SCOVILLE

I was hangin' with my boys, down by that Alice in Wonderland statue. We didn't see nothin'. We

heard the shot, took off.

KEITH

What about the gun?
