Crime Scene/Transcript

This is the transcript of "Crime Scene," the fifth chapter of Heavy Rain.

Transcript
(The chapter opens as Norman drives up to a wasteland surrounded by police and news vehicles. He finds a place to park, pockets a vial of Triptocaine that he holds in shaking hands, and gets out of his car. The player can view his thoughts here.)

(If Norman chooses "Blake":)

Norman: ...Noted that name somewhere, what was it?... Blake. Lieutenant Carter Blake, yeah, that's it...

(If Norman chooses "Keep Control":)

Norman: God, my hands are trembling... Got to keep my act together, at least for now...

(If Norman chooses "Rain":)

Norman: Goddamn rain. Hasn't stopped pouring since I arrived... I'm really gonna love it here...

(If Norman chooses "Journalists":)

Norman: Reporters, already?... They seem well informed...

(Norman approaches a police officer.)

Policeman: This zone is sectioned off, sir. Please step back.

Norman: Agent Norman Jayden, FBI.

Policeman: You got a badge or something Mr. Jayden?

Norman: Yeah... Yeah of course.

(Norman shows his badge.)

Policeman: Check. You can pass.

(Norman can pass or ask about Blake.)

(If Norman chooses "Blake?":)

Norman: I'm looking for Lieutenant Blake. Is he around?

Policeman: I saw him arrive earlier. He's here somewhere...

Norman: Thanks.

(Norman makes his way past the police line and puts on his ARI glasses and gloves to conduct his investigation.)

Norman: Video Memo recording. Agent 47023, Norman Jayden. Tuesday, October 4th, 2011. Time is...8:14 a.m.

(The player can view Norman's thoughts here.)

(If Norman chooses "Soaking":)

Norman: I'm soaking wet.

(If Norman chooses "Blake":)

Norman: I gotta find Lieutenant Carter Blake.

(If Norman chooses "Body":)

Norman: The body must be under the tarp near the lights.

(If Norman chooses "Crime Scene":)

Norman: The crime scene is compromised by all these people. I doubt there'll be many clues left, if there were any to start with.

(If Norman chooses "Police":)

Norman: Way too many people here. They're trampling all over the crime scene.

(If Norman chooses "Train":)

Norman: There's a railroad track near where the body was left. Same as all the other victims.

(If Norman chooses "Body":)

Norman: The body is still here.

(If Norman asks one of the police officers about Blake:)

Norman: I'm looking for Lieutenant Carter Blake.

(The camera pans to where Blake is speaking with another officer.)

Norman: Thanks.

(If Norman talks to the officers drinking coffee and chooses "Weather":)

Norman: Lousy weather, huh? Does it always rain like this?

Officer: It rains every fall. Doesn't it do that where you come from?

Norman: Well, yeah. Yeah, of course.

(If Norman chooses "Pretty Chilly":)

Norman: Pretty chilly, huh?

(The officers do not respond.)

(If Norman chooses "Coffee":)

Norman: Is that coffee you're drinking there?

Officer: There's some in the thermos behind you. Help yourself.

(If Norman chooses "Murder":)

Norman: When did they find the body?

Officer: Excuse me, but...who are you exactly?

Norman: Norman Jayden, FBI.

Officer: If you want to ask questions, you should speak to Lieutenant Blake, sir.

(If Norman chooses "Blake?" before choosing "Murder":)

Norman: I'm looking for Lieutenant Blake. Is he around?

Officer: I saw him arrive earlier. He's here somewhere.

(If Norman chooses "Blake?" after choosing "Murder":)

Norman: I was just looking for him. Do you know where he is?

(One of the officers points to where Blake is.)

Norman: Thanks.

(If Norman analyzes the sample near the officers:)

Norman: ARI comment, sample of no interest. Comes from one of the policemen present on the wasteland.

(If Norman tries to look at the body before talking to Blake:)

Blake: Hey, you there! What are you doing?

(If Norman talks to Blake before looking at the body, the dialogue is the same from here. If Norman is wearing the ARI glasses, he will take them off.)

Norman: Lieutenant Blake? I'm Agent Norman Jayden from the FBI. I went by your office this morning, they told me you'd be here.

Blake: Now if you're lookin' for rain, dead bodies and highways, you've come to the right place. Mike, will you tell that asshole with the bulldozer to stop for five minutes, I can't hear myself think here.

Mike: Right away, Lieutenant.

(Blake starts to walk away, but stops and turns back to Norman.)

Blake: Well, are you coming, Jayden?

Norman: So, what happened?

Blake: Some guy taking his dog for a piss found the body about six o'clock this morning. We don't know much more right now. Based on what we've seen, it looks like the work of the Origami Killer.

(If Norman walks too far away from Blake or doesn't keep up with him:)

Blake: Jayden!

(Norman is given two options: "Coming" or "Not Coming.")

(If Norman chooses "Not Coming":)

Norman: Listen, I can see you're busy. I'll just have a look around if you don't mind.

Blake: Be my guest.

(If Norman chooses "Coming":)

Norman: Yeah, I'm coming.

(Norman is given several questions to ask Blake as they walk.)

(If Norman chooses "Witnesses":)

Norman: Any witnesses?

Blake: None yet. Given the neighborhood, I'd be surprised if anybody saw anything.

(If Norman chooses "Cause":)

Norman: Do we know the cause of death?

Blake: There are no marks on the body. Chances are he was drowned, like the others.

(If Norman chooses "Identity":)

Norman: Has the body been identified?

Blake: No, not yet. We should know more later today.

(If Norman chooses "Time":)

Norman: Has the time of death been established?

Blake: Based on the rigor mortis, must be less than six hours ago. We should know more once the coroner's had a look.

(After choosing one of the above options, Blake walks over to an officer near the entrance to the scene.)

Blake: Any news on the coroner?

Officer: He's on his way, lieutenant.

Blake: We've been waiting for an hour, for fuck's sake!

(Blake walks away. Norman is given the options he did not pick previously, as well as new ones.)

(If Norman chooses "Precautions":)

Norman: There are a lot of people on the crime scene. Aren't you afraid your men might destroy some clues?

Blake: You don't find proof sitting behind a desk. And we're not in the habit of trampling things into the ground, even if we're not in the FBI.

Norman: No. No, of course not. That's not what I meant.

(After choosing two of the above options, the "Leave" option becomes available. Blake walks over to another officer, Tony.)

Blake: Tony, I don't wanna see a single shit-stirring journalist within a mile of here, you got it?

Tony: Yes, Lieutenant.

(If Norman chooses "Leave" or runs out of time to pick an option:)

Norman: Listen, you look busy. Do you mind if I have a look around?

Blake: Be my guest.

(After choosing three of the above options, if "Leave" was not chosen:)

Blake: Listen, I'm a little busy here. Why don't we discuss all this a little later, back at the office?

Norman: No problem, I understand. Do you mind if I have a look around?

Blake: Be my guest!

(If Norman chose "Leave" or ran out of time, it will skip to here:)

Blake: Hey, Jayden, you come and see me if you find anything, okay? We're on the same team now. (Blake winks.)

(After Norman talks to Blake, his thoughts change.)

(If Norman chooses "Blake":)

Norman: Strange character, that Blake. Didn't seem too pleased to see me.

(If Norman tried to look at the body before talking to Blake, the "ARI" thought will be available.)

(If Norman chooses "ARI":)

Norman: I should use ARI to examine the body.

(If Norman looks at the body:)

Norman: ARI comment, the victim is lying on his back. No visible signs of violence.

(If Norman looks at the orchid:)

Norman: An orchid was placed on the victim's chest.

(If Norman looks at the mud:)

Norman: His face is covered with mud, like the other victims.

(If Norman looks at the origami figure:)

Norman: A small origami figure in the right hand. Fingers were probably closed after the time of death.

(If Norman looks at the hand again:)

Norman: The victim is Jeremy Bowles, declared missing five days ago. See reference file.

(If Norman looks at the blood:)

Norman: Superficial wound on the right thigh.

(If Norman found the blood on the fence before looking at the body:)

Norman: The blood is identical to that on the fence.

(If Norman did not find the blood on the fence before looking at the body:)

Norman: Blood analysis suggests it could be post-mortem; probably a scratch that occurred when the body was being moved. The blood report indicates an extended and long-lasting period of exhaustion.

(The player can view Norman's thoughts here.)

(If Norman did not analyze the clues on the tracks before looking at the body, the "Body" and "Blood" thoughts will be available.)

(If Norman chooses "Body":)

Norman: The killer must have carried the body here. Got to be tracks around here somewhere.

(If Norman chooses "Blood":)

Norman: The body got scratched when it was moved. There may be more traces of blood around here.

(If Norman chooses "Killer":)

Norman: Impressive. Seems the only traces the killer left are those he intended to leave. He knew exactly what he was doing, right down to the tiniest detail.

(If Norman analyzes the orchid pollen and did not look at the orchid on the body:)

Norman: Some orchid pollen...the concentration of pollen in the air is quickly decreasing because of the rain, but it gets higher in the direction of the body.

(If Norman looked at the orchid before analyzing the pollen:)

Norman: ARI comment, orchid pollen detected. Probably from the flower left on the body.

(After analyzing the pollen, a new thought appears.)

(If Norman chooses "Pollen":)

Norman: Orchid pollen, something the killer couldn't control. Can it be traced back to its source?

(If Norman follows the pollen up to the railroad tracks:)

Norman: ARI comment, the pollen particles disappear in the tall grass. It's probably the end of the trail.

(If Norman looks at the dead cat on the railroad tracks:)

Norman: A dead cat. The FBI doesn't keep files on dead cats. Not yet.

(If Norman analyzes the blood on the tracks:)

Norman: ARI comment, traces of blood on the railroad track.

(If Norman did not look at the blood on the victim's leg before analyzing the blood:)

Norman: The blood report indicates an advanced and long-lasting state of exhaustion.

(If Norman looked at the blood on the victim's leg before analyzing the blood:)

Norman: Analysis confirms it comes from the victim.

(After analyzing the blood, a new thought appears if Norman did not look at the blood on the victim's leg.)

(If Norman chooses "Blood":)

Norman: Blood on the tracks. But where did it come from?

(If Norman analyzes the footprints next to the tracks:)

Norman: The footprints continue just after the pollen trail. There's a good chance that they're the killer's.

(A new thought appears if Norman looked at the body before analyzing the footprints.)

(If Norman chooses "Tracks":)

Norman: The footprints begin at the tracks. The killer came this way.

(If Norman analyzes the blood on the fence:)

Norman: ARI comment, traces of blood detected on the fence behind the railroad line.

(If Norman looked at the body before analyzing the blood:)

Norman: It comes from the victim. The killer came this way with the body and probably grazed it on his way through the fence.

(After analyzing the blood, a new thought appears.)

(If Norman chooses "Blood":)

(If Norman did not look at the body before analyzing the blood:)

Norman: Why the hell is there blood here?

(If Norman looked at the body before analyzing the blood:)

Norman: Blood on the fence, and it comes from the victim.

(If Norman looked at the body first, the "Ridge" thought will also be available.)

(If Norman chooses "Ridge":)

Norman: The trail leads to this ridge. The killer must have come down here with the body.

(If Norman tries to go up the hill once, he slips, getting mud on his suit.)

(If Norman tries to go up the hill a second time, he is presented with QTEs to climb up the hill.)

(If Norman misses a QTE near the bottom of the hill, he falls down and must start over; otherwise, he makes it halfway up the hill and is given the option to climb back down or keep climbing up.)

(If Norman misses a QTE at the halfway point, he slips, but manages to catch himself; otherwise, he makes it up another section of the hill and is again given the option to climb back down or keep going.)

(If Norman misses a QTE near the top of the hill, he slips, but manages to regain his balance; otherwise, he makes it all the way up the hill.)

(If Norman analyzes the footprints:)

Norman: There's a good chance that they're the killer's.

(If Norman analyzes the tire tracks:)

Norman: ARI comment, tire tracks on the side of the road behind the railroad line. It may be the killer's car.

(If Norman walks too close to the road, he is splashed by a car driving through a puddle. Norman makes an angry gesture to the driver.)

(If Norman goes back down the hill, he is presented with QTEs as he descends the hill.)

(Once Norman has found all available clues:)

Norman: I think I've seen all there is to see.

(The player can view Norman's thoughts again after finding all available clues.)

(If Norman chooses "Impression":)

Norman: Think I've seen enough. Better get back to the station before I catch pneumonia.

(If Norman talks to Blake again before leaving:)

Norman: I'm gonna leave. I'll see you in the office, right?

Blake: Okay, see you later.

(After exiting the scene, Norman gets back in his car and drives away, ending the chapter.)
