ARIADNE WILLOW, early thirties, wearing a hoodie, walks toward the camera. A pair of squad cars are parked at the top of a steep incline that runs down to a crime scene in front of a waterfront house. KYLE LORNE, a bearded detective dressed for cold weather, meets her at the end of the driveway.

INT. HALLWAY.
Ari comes out of a room and looks down the hall. We see a woman backlit by the windows, her shoulders hunched and her hair hanging down in her eyes. Ari tenses as the woman notices her.

A half-naked man bares his teeth as if in mid-transformation. Ari tries to placate him, but the man leaps at her. Ari is forced to deflect the man’s attack and pins him to the ground.
