SHOT 1. Interior. An extreme close-up of a pebbled glass door, on which INVESTIGATIONS is written in flaked black paint. The word fills the screen. On the soundtrack, we hear the voice of Bobby Seale.

BOBBY SEALE: YOU’LL FIND OUT. HUEY HAD A LOT OF STAGGERLEE QUALITIES - BUT HE WAS SO POLITICALLY CONSCIOUS. CONSCIOUS OF REVOLUTIONARY STRUGGLE AND CLASS STRUGGLE. I RESPECT THAT BROTHER. YOU MOVE YOURSELF UP FROM A LOWER LEVEL TO A HIGHER LEVEL. AT ONE TIME, BROTHER ELDRIDGE WAS ON THE BLOCK.

HE WAS STAGGERLEE.

SHOT 2. The camera pulls back into a medium shot of the door. It opens, and a man walks out of the office. He is tall and well-built, in his early forties. It is his office. He is the Detective. He walks past the camera and out of frame.

SHOT 3. Black screen. On the soundtrack, we hear “Staggerlee,” recorded by Mississippi John Hint in 1929:

Police officer, how can it be

You arrest everybody but cruel Staggerlee

That bad man, oh cruel Staggerlee

Credits roll as the song continues on the sountrack:

THIS IS IT
