SCENE 307
DRIVEWAY - MEDIUM PAN SHOT
As the two hurry back to the gate, WE PAN WITH THEM. As the gate PANS INTO SCENE, they are startled to see Louie's body lies crumpled on the ground between the gates. Chan turns on the flashlight, swinging it swiftly around at the cactus and shrubbery in the vicinity. No one is in sight. He kneels quickly down, Bob following.

CHAN:(Grimly) Dead...like Tony. BOB: (Stunned and horrified) But it seems impossible! It's only been a minute! Why would anyone kill him? CHAN: (In a low voice) Murdered in great haste. Implies something wrong here which old servant would recognize.

Bob starts to reply, but stops, listening. Rapidly approaching footsteps are heard off scene.
