PIECES OF ME - JULY 2020 34 .
EXT . HOUSE - EARLY EVENING
Flashing red and blue illuminates the house from a parked police car . OFFICER JAMES BALLARD , 40s , stands at the front door , talking with Sophie .
They share a laugh .
OFFICER BALLARD Gordon isn ’ t pressing any charges on account that his son trespassed onto your father ’ s property .
SOPHIE ( sarcastic )
Finally , some good news .
OFFICER BALLARD You ’ re very lucky that it was only a panic attack . He ’ ll be fine .
SOPHIE I wouldn ’ t be surprised if he needs therapy after all this .
OFFICER BALLARD If you have any referrals that aren ’ t your old man , I ’ m sure Mr . Sullivan would appreciate it .
OFFICER BALLARD ( CONT ' D ) Okay . Well , I ’ m gonna take off , but for your father ’ s sake , please make sure that he takes proper precautions when leaving the house .
I will .
SOPHIE
OFFICER BALLARD Thanks Ms . Mento--
Sophie .
SOPHIE
OFFICER BALLARD Have a nice evening .
Ballard tips his hat and exits .
Sophie sighs . She looks at the ground and sees the familiar cloth mask .
