NEWT LEE (chained hand and foot)

I am tryin' to remember:

I was checkin' roun' the fact'ry.

And I went into the basement,

Down the stairs into the basement

And I shine my light around here,

In the corners and the ceiling,

And I'm 'bout to check the washroom

And my light, it kinda catches

On this pile of rags in the middle of the room:



The factory basement.

Leo is brought in to view a body covered with a dirty cloth.



LEO (trembling, nearly fainting)

Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!



DETECTIVE STARNES

Do you know who this is, Mr Frank?



LEO

Oh my God! It's the little girl I paid yesterday.

She came up to my office.



NEWT

I ain't seen no pile o' rags there before,

So I go over and I kick it,

And I shine down my light and Lord,

Lord, ain't no pile of rags at all:



LEO (to the policemen)

Who did it? Do you know who did it yet?



NEWT

This small white body

With her tongue stickin' out,

This pretty little child

With her eyes wide open:



LEO

Oh no. You don't think it was my night watch-man.

Newt? (No answer) Newt Lee? You think it was Newt? (Silence)



NEWT

So I ran to the phone

And I called Mr Frank,

But the phone kep' ringin',

So I called y'all to help me---

Mr Frank, he didn't answer:

And that's all I can remember.



LEO

Oh God! Oh my God! You think I - you think - that's absurd! It's preposterous.

I didn't even know this child.

I only remembered her name because she was in my office yesterday:



MRS PHAGAN (approaching the factory)

'Scuse me.



ROOKIE POLICEMAN

Yes, ma'am?



MRS PHAGAN

I'm hopin' you can he'p me.



ROOKIE POLICEMAN

Yes, ma'am.



MRS PHAGAN

Well, my daughter didn't come home las' night.



ROOKIE POLICEMAN

Can I have your name please, ma'am?
