Alrighty then!! I have written some original Horatio/Calleigh scenes for the show. It's the stuff that you may never see... or will eventually see if I get on the writer's team. :lol: These two scenes were previously posted in the DuCaine shipper thread, but I will post these scenes and all updates to this forum in the future. Have a read, and let me know what you think. Constuctive critiscism please, be completely honest. Thanks guys!!
It's the end of a long day. Horatio and the team have apprehended a serial killer, whose victims were young mothers and their children.
Using mainly trace and ballistics evidence, the killer is going away for a long time, thanks to the crimelab. Horatio is at home after comforting the family of the killer's final victim, but he's not alone. He's joined by a mystery guest...
But who is it??
(Pssst.. you all know who it is, but just to those who wouldn't know... )
FADE IN
[INT. HORATIO'S HOUSE -- NIGHT]
(There are candles lighting everywhere. Soft music
in the background.
Various dissolves in and out as the camera moves
around the room.)
FADE IN
(Front shot of Horatio sitting on a leather sofa.
Pans in slowly as he starts talking.)
HORATIO: It's always the same... everyday. Another scene,
another victim...
CUT TO:
(Camera following a pair of black high heels
walking across tiled floor. Horatio continues
speaking during this.)
HORATIOv.o.) Another murder solved, another
funeral.
(Cut back to: Camera focusing in slowly on Horatio,
panning slightly left.)
HORATIO: No matter how hard I try, how much
I put into them, these cases always haunt me...
CUT TO:
(Shot of hands taking out a bottle of wine.)
HORATIO: (v.o.) They plague me... and I can't escape...
(Cut back to: Camera still panning slowly left of Horatio.)
HORATIO: Their families have closure, justice is served...
CUT TO:
(Two wine glasses being filled.)
HORATIO: (v.o.) But I can't help feeling defeated... feeling like
a failure.
CUT TO:
(Horatio in full profile. His eyes close now as he talks.)
The pain dives me until it's unbearable...
CUT TO:
(Half shot of the woman, holding the glasses, walking to the left
of the screen.
We don't see her face, and she's wearing a black dress.)
HORATIO: (v.o.) I strive to make things right, to make this
city safer...
CUT TO:
(Profile shot of Horatio.)
HORATIO: It never relents, the endless cycle, it keeps on going.
CUT TO:
(Woman's hands putting glasses on coffee table.
Camera moves towards Horatio, as does the woman,
we still don't see her face.)
HORATIO: Life doesn't wait for you... that couldn't be truer.
(Horatio in focus, the woman sits down beside him.
We see that it's Calleigh.)
CALLEIGH: I feel the same...
(Camera focuses in on her.)
CALLEIGH: It doesn't get easier, does it?
HORATIO: (leaning forward with
a sigh) I just want it to end... I want...
(looks at her) the pain to stop.
CUT TO:
(Front shot of Horatio and Calleigh. As dialogue
continues, camera moves in slowly.)
CALLEIGH: The pain you feel shows you're human...
you have a heart, and that's what I admire about you.
(Horatio smiles slightly, leaning back a little.
Camera focuses in on him.)
HORATIO: Hmmm... you've always cared, Calleigh.
(Calleigh leans towards him slightly.
Horatio dips his head, eyes downcast.)
CALLEIGH: Each day I feel the pain... it pulls my heart...
I am letting you know now that you're not alone...
the agony you feel... I share it.
CUT TO:
(Horatio smiling.)
HORATIO: I believe you.
CUT TO:
(Front shot if them both. Camera pans slowly to Calleigh's hands,
as she takes his left hand in her own, interlacing their fingers.)
HORATIO: (glancing up) Calleigh?
CALLEIGH: Horatio?
(Close up of them as they smile at each other.
Horatio looks down at their hands, and rests his right hand
over them.
Close up on Calleigh as she smiles even more.
Front shot of them as they lean towards each other.
They hug.)
HORATIO: I love your dress...
CALLEIGH: (laughs) You flatterer! But I still think that
I don't look good in all-black...
HORATIO: (stroking her hair) Once again,
sweetheart...
(Camera cuts to close up of Calleigh closing her eyes,
still smiling.
Horatio pulls her back slowly to face him, and rests
his forehead against hers.)
HORATIO: ... I beg to differ.
(They both open their eyes to look at each other.
Camera pans slowly backwards.
Final shot of Horatio and Calleigh holding each other.)
(FADE TO BLACK.)
Here's the second scene:
Synopsis: Calleigh was involved in a shootout at a crimescene. She is cornered with a rifle pointing at her. Luckily, back-up arrives, with Horatio close behind. She is saved, but is whisked away by EMTs to check her out. Horatio arrests the perp, steaming mad.
It's later that day, and Horatio comes by the lab to check on Calleigh. It's late, and the entire lab is empty...
What's going to happen??
