Everything I need to know about screenwriting I learned in kindergarten

Tru and Davis walk down the Tunnel of Trepidation, making pointless small talk about whether Davis's white lab coat makes him look fat. We so really needed to see this part. And thanks for ruining the tunnel's creepy reputation already. They arrive at the examining room to find five new bodies. Tru thinks Marco 2.0 had to have been driving all over the city, but Davis explains they got them all at one location. The men are all between 20 and 30, and they died between 10:30 and 11:00 PM. Davis asks Tru to gather their personal effects as he does the examining. She asks about IDs -- Davis exposits that their wallets were missing. Four of the men had very high alcohol levels, but not enough to kill them. The fifth guy had no booze in his bloodstream, but had a trace of a chemical called avlocardyl. Okay, so I guess they have the ACME Instant Toxicology Scanner as well. Tru notes a wedding ring among the personal effects. She also finds a card for a stripper club called Foreplay, with the word "Turquoise" printed on the back.

Later in the office, Tru is typing away on something when she looks at her calendar and sees a note reminding her that today is Lindsay's birthday. Oops. Well, she's not really all that important to you anyway, is she, Tru? Suddenly there's a knock on the door, and some blandly hunky soap opera stud enters. He's looking for Marco 2.0. Suddenly everybody is calling Marco 2.0 by his last name, Gardez. Well, screw that. Tru explains that he's out on a pick-up, and offers to write a message. With her tongue on this stud's abs, if her suddenly flirtatious attitude is an indication. Stud explains that Marco 2.0 is a friend of a friend and set him up for an interview as a crime-scene photographer for the sheriff's department, which is apparently located upstairs, above the morgue. She asks him how the interview went. He says he thought it went well, but after he left, he realized he had something caught in his teeth. Tru so very subtly flirts, "Sexy!" Well, if he's going to be her love interest and the show doesn't get cancelled, perhaps we'll be spared a season of unresolved sexual tension. Oh, who am I kidding? This show is so getting cancelled. She asks Stud for his name for the note. He's been saddled with the blandly hunky soap opera stud name of Luc. She stands up to shake his hand, which triggers the Random Davis Generator. He pops through a door into the office and asks Tru if Luc is bothering her. They're in mid-handshake, so the question is patently ridiculous. Tru points out the ridiculousness of it all by telling Davis that, yes, Luc is bothering her. Davis takes her seriously for a moment before she makes it clear that she's kidding. She starts offering to let Luc hang out until Marco 2.0 returns, but unfortunately her flirtations are interrupted by the tell-tale hoarse whisperer, begging for hhhhhhelp. She excuses herself to go put the plot in motion. After she leaves, Davis tells Luc that Tru tends to run off like this rather often.
