INT. FBI FIELD OFFICE - INTERVIEW ROOM A - DAY
Sterile fluorescent lighting. DETECTIVE RIVERA (40s, sharp, no nonsense) sits across from Alise (35), who maintains her composure despite the circumstances.
DETECTIVE RIVERA
Mrs. Williams, when was the last
time
you spoke to your ex-husband?
Alise
Which name would you like me to
use?
Because I'm learning he had
several.
Rivera slides a photo across the table - MALIK's mugshot.
DETECTIVE RIVERA
Let's stick with Malik Johnson.
When?
Alise
Three weeks ago. He called about...
final paperwork.
DETECTIVE RIVERA
What kind of final paperwork?
Alise hesitates, fidgeting with her wedding ring.
Alise
Insurance beneficiary forms.
INT. FBI FIELD OFFICE - INTERVIEW ROOM B - CONTINUOUS
AGENT Rivera (30s, methodical) faces JASMINE (38), who sits rigidly professional.
DETECTIVE Riveria
Ms. Jacobs, did you know
about
the life insurance policy?
JASMINE
Not until yesterday. I thought it
was
a mistake.
DETECTIVE Riveria
A million-dollar mistake?
INT. FBI FIELD OFFICE - INTERVIEW ROOM C - CONTINUOUS
DETECTIVE Riveria leans back as REESE gestures animatedly.
REESE
Look, MJ was shady as hell, but I
ain't kill nobody. Check my
Instagram
- I was live streaming when y'all
say he died.
DETECTIVE Riveria
We will. But three wives, same man,
all collecting insurance... that's
quite a coincidence.
REESE
Coincidence? That man played us
all!
We should be getting medals, not
interrogated.
Riviera slides a document forward.
DETECTIVE Riveria
This shows you filed for divorce
first. Why?
Reese's confidence falters slightly.
