NEWS REPORT – VOICEOVER
A serious reporter speaks as crime scene photos and Roy's ID flash on screen.
> "In a shocking turn of events, all eight murder cases were solved.
The killer was none other than Assistant Detective Roy Daniels…report say he is having Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) or a deep split in his psyche.
who shot and killed his own partner at 8:40 PM last night."
[INT. COURTROOM – DAY]
Roy — or Ronald — stands before the court, lifeless but composed. The judge delivers the final verdict.
Judge:
Roy Daniels, also known as Ronald,
You are hereby sentenced to death by hanging.
[INT. PRISON VISITATION ROOM – NIGHT]
As his last wish, Ronald sits across from Nick, separated by a glass pane. Both hold the phone — tears in their eyes, voices broken.
Nick:
You shouldn't be here.
Ronald (softly):
I already was…
Just not behind bars.
Silence. Then a slow fade as Ronald's voice narrates:
RONALD (V.O.)
> Was Roy really the murderer?
Or was Ronald… just a victim of a failed system?
> If Roy — the killer — was my identity…
Then Ronald — the broken soul — died long ago.
> But if the law remains blind…
Then more Roys will rise.
> Because when justice sleeps…
Good people become ghosts.
> We are the society.
And no law survives if the society refuses to uphold it.
[INT. EXECUTION CHAMBER – DAWN]
Roy stands at the gallows. His eyes are calm. The rope tightens around his neck.
His final thought echoes one last time:
Ronald (V.O.):
Roy died today.
But Ronald… died a long time ago.
Was I a victim?
Or a criminal?
The screen fades to black.
"Even justice can become a crime, if the system is broken And victims can become criminals, when no one hears their pain."
THE END.
