Here's the script we worked from for this episode
Jungle style sounds night, distant baby cry
Sheriff: “Dispatch, this is Sheriff Laynar, I've tracked the suspect to a shed in a clearing in the forest. I’ve got JJ with me. We can hear the kidnapped baby. The full moon means can’t get closer without being seen"
Garbled Radio Static,
Sheriff: “OK. Anything else, message me, I’m muting your channel.”
Baby keeps crying
Sheriff. “JJ, you in place?"
JJ: “Yeah, Sheriff. I’m north of the shed, 20 yards from the front door."
Sheriff: “Good. I’m due west. On infrared, I have 2 heat signatures inside, both on the floor. The suspect is a woman who attacked a doctor in the neonatal ward, grabbed a newborn & took off into the woods. She’s 5’3”, 110 lbs, long dark hair, ankle-length white dress."
JJ: ”Sheriff, the baby has stopped crying..."
wail of a woman, thunder, rain
Sheriff: “Get ready to take the shed… on my count… ”
Vibrate Phone FX
Sheriff: “Hold it JJ, I’m getting a flash message”
Phone Beeps
Sheriff: “Shit.. this changes things. : Suspect was pregnant and gave *birth* at the ward, but the delivery went wrong… she went crazy and attacked the doctor. Now she’s here."
JJ: ”Is this still a kidnapping case?"
Sheriff: “No, it’s homicide. She slashed the doctor across the gut… basically disembowelled him. Poor guy bled to death”
JJ: ”Movement at the front door!"
Thunder
JJ: “Suspect is in the doorway. white dress... it’s soaked in blood… she’s pulled her hair forward to cover her face
Sheriff: “JJ, The heat signatures inside haven’t moved, it doesn’t show anyone at the door.”
JJ: “What the fuck? Sheriff, she’s barefoot and she’s… she's floating… her feet aren’t touching the grass… she’s approaching my position… ”
Sheriff: “Ditching thermal - I have visual on the suspect - whatever is approaching you is ice cold… "
JJ: “Sheriff, do I engage?… ” croak noise
Thunder…
Ghost scream, male scream, slashing noise. gun fire. body drop. female scream…. croak noise
Sheriff: “JJ! JJ!”
croak noise
Sheriff: “Dispatch, officer down, I need backup.. immediately!!!"
Static
Radio FX, “Croak noise”
Sheriff primes rifle, gets ready
Sheriff: “Where are you?"
Heavy panting... quiet… croak… whoosh FX as the ghost flies away
Sheriff: (heavy panting) “Dispatch, she was right in front of me… didn’t touch me… she’s heading your way"
