renee opens the manila envelope. she's noticeably nervous when she sees a videotape inside. she stares at it.
renee is on the telephone. fred is pacing, smoking, behind her.
two men in suits - the detectives, ed and al, are seated on the couch, watching the last part of the second videotape. the screen goes to snow and stays that way for several moments, until fred shuts it off.
fred and renee are on the couch. the tv remains on, showing snow.
the detectives, with fred and renee are seated on chairs and the couch. the three videotapes in their manila envelopes are stacked on a coffee table in the center.
footsteps can be heard on the stairs. fred's head appears at the top of the stairway. he comes up into the living room carrying a manila envelope, like the ones previously received. his expression is strained. he is alone. fred pulls a videotape out of the envelope and inserts it in the vcr, turns it on. he sits on the couch and watches. we go from a wide shot to a full frame shot of the video.
fred, sitting in front of the tv, shudders as the tape ends. he sits trembling, attempts to speak, almost chokes, and finally releases a tortured, warbly cry.
