ACT FIVE

[PRECINCT, BULLPEN - DAY]

Keith is on the phone.

KEITH

...And that was when?...Okay, thank you, Mrs. Kendall.

(hangs up)

Get this. Donny and Amanda were dating until about a month ago.

LANCE

When Donny broke it off.

[Keith nods]

--

[PRECINCT, INTERROGATION - DAY]

Amanda leans against the wall, waiting, impatient. Keith and Lance enter.

KEITH

You weren't in school today, Amanda.

AMANDA

So? I wasn't up for it.

LANCE

Yes. Lying can be so exhausting.

AMANDA

So can losing two of your friends.

KEITH

We saw the video.

AMANDA

Brandon told me. So now you know everything.

LANCE

Why'd you shoot the video that night?

AMANDA

I don't know, we did lots of times.

LANCE

When was the last time? Before that night?

AMANDA

I don't remember. Look, I thought you said you saw what happened.

LANCE

We did. We're just not sure why we saw what happened.

KEITH

Your decision to make a video that night doesn't make sense. Unless you knew something was going to

happen.

AMANDA

You think I knew? It was totally an accident! There's no way I could've known Donny was going to get shot.

KEITH

Sure there is. If you're the one who put a bullet in the gun.

AMANDA

What?

LANCE

We spoke to Donny's parents. We know you two were dating.

KEITH

We also know Donny broke up with you about a month ago.

AMANDA

Oh, my God.

KEITH

It gives you a motive, Amanda.

AMANDA

It's not what happened! Yes, Donny broke up with me. But only because he found out I hooked up with Brandon.

KEITH

Brandon?

AMANDA

Everything with his family... Donny checked out. He wasn't there for me and Brandon was.
