SMECKER
And the pennies?
DUFFY
New hitman wants to leave his mark
SMECKER
That's a possibility. Y'know you
Boston cops are perking up. That's
two sound theories in one day, neither
of which deal with abnormally sized
men.
(pause)
Another possibility is that they
were placed there with religious
intent.
DUFFY
Yeah. Some cultures still put pennies
in the eyes of the dead, or silver.
SMECKER
The Greeks. The Italians.
DUFFY
The Sicilians.
DOLLY
What's the symbology there?
Smecker tosses the Idiot glance to Dolly.
SMECKER
Symbology? Well, now that Duffy has
relinquished his King Bone Head crown
I see we have an heir to the throne.
I'm sure the word you were looking
for was symbolism. What's the
symbolism there? Let me explain it
to you. In Greek and Roman mythology
when you died you would have to pay
the toll to Charon, the boatman who
ferried you across to the gates of
judgment. This made sure the dead
came to atone for what they did during
their lives, Detective...
Smecker looks at his I.D.
SMECKER
Dollapoppaskalious.
The detectives are impressed.
DOLLY (DOLLAPOPPASKALIOUS)
Holy shit. You're the first one that's
ever got that.
SMECKER
(aside)
Yeah, well... I'm an expert in name-
ology.
The detectives chuckle.
INT. PLAZA HOTEL SUITE LIVING ROOM NIGHT
Smecker is chain smoking. His clothes appear unkempt. His
eyes show emotion at every new found clue. The detectives
watch closely. He is hunched over the body of the fat man
probing his wounds with his gloved fingers. Greenly has re-
entered. He defiantly holds a cup of coffee but is too
intimidated to interrupt Smecker. He sets it down and folds
his arms.
SMECKER
I've seen burns like these before.
They used silencers. Look at these
entry and exit wounds. They're
identical.
He stands up and gives a lesson to the now eager detectives.
He points his two index fingers to the back of his own skull.
SMECKER
The two bullets went in here, through
the top of the skull, criss-crossed
and exited through the eyeballs.
This one clue tells us three distinct
facts. Number one... Duffy.
DUFFY
They shot him at a downward angle.
(makes connection)
They put him on his knees.
SMECKER
Excellent! Number two. Greenly.
GREENLY
Uh.
(thinking hard)
Shit, I, uh...
