INT. MORGUE – DAY – SAME


As Professor Morteyz enters, SOBBING cuts through the dark stillness of the room. The CLICK of a light switch reveals Anna crouched up against the cement wall, clutching a teddy bear.

PROFESSOR MORTEYZ
What are you doing here Anna?

Anna saddened, looks up at an angered Professor Morteyz.

ANNA
I remember her from the hospital.

Anna nods towards the table hosting a covered pregnant body.

ANNA
A young pregnant mother was killed by a drunk driver. Along with her 3 year old son in the car.

ANNA
The hospital just tossed the teddy bear into the lost and found. It was supposed to be for her newborn baby. I’m returning it.

Professor Morteyz grows angrier. The professor slams his hand against the steel door of the next compartment.

An identification tag hangs off the tiny barefoot of a child. The young child covered by a sheet. The professor glances at the victim without emotion.

PROFESSOR MORTEYZ
A three year old killed in a motor vehicle accident.

The professor proceeds to the next compartment.

PROFESSOR MORTEYZ
Domestic dispute.

Points to the next door hosting a body.

PROFESSOR MORTEYZ
Infection.

Professor Morteyz lowers himself to Anna’s eye level. He stares into her eyes. Grabs the teddy bear from her arms and holds it in front of her.

PROFESSOR MORTEYZ
This teddy bear is no more alive. Anna, remember, to a doctor, the heart is a pump. The kidneys are the filters. You will have to see that.

PROFESSOR MORTEYZ
Separate any feelings, or you’ll never survive.

Professor Morteyz tosses the teddy bear to the side as he bolts out of the room.

Detective Tzume stares from across the room. The SOBBING turns to silence. Anna glances over at the teddy bear a distance away. Hesitating. She stands, picks up the teddy bear, and places it on the on the tummy of the dead pregnant mother.

ANNA
(whispers)
This is for your baby, mama.

She stands in a trance. Staring at the teddy bear.

DET. TZUME
You have a soul.

Anna locks eye contact with the detective.

DET. TZUME
Everyone has a soul. He just has to find his again.

DET. TZUME
Come on, how bout we get out of this place. Gives me the creeps being in here.

Det. Tzume lends a hand to Anna.
