158 INT - STAIRS TO TOWER - DAY 158
A frightened Tracy stands at the door, key in hand.
Finally unlocking the door, she opens it and ENTERS
THE ROOM
159 INT - TOWER ROOM - DAY - TRACY'S P.O.V. 159
The painting on the easel is covered. The room is a
mess. The cot looks as if it had been slept in.
Tracy ENTERS THE SHOT, leaving the door open. She
crosses to the easel. She lifts off the cover and
is shocked by what she sees. The picture is now
completed. The reality of the situation shocks her.
It is obvious Quentin has been completing Charles'
unfinished portrait. The picture now includes a man
who looks very much like Quentin and who stands in
front of the half-clad Angelique. In his arms he
carries the limp figure of a girl. The girl's face
is Tracy's. It seems she is an offering to Angelique.

And when it comes to what's different with the descriptions and directions, DC actually added additional info for the setting of Scene 158 -
158 INT - STAIRS TO TOWER - DAY - LOWER TOWER 158
- so no doubt that's why we actually see Tracy come up the tower stairs, after which she comes to a stop at the door, hesitates, looks down at the key in her hand, but then reaches to unlock the door, though she doesn't enter the room - and Scene 159 is not shot from Tracy's P.O.V. because, as can be seen in the following capture, it starts off -
- with a shot of the door from the inside (as we hear the key turn in the lock), and then after the door opens, we actually see Tracy -
- peer inside - and after she enters she looks about the room, but we don't see that the cot looks as if it had been slept in because we don't see the cot at all because almost immediately Tracy crosses to the easel and uncovers the canvas - and from there things progress as scripted ...

03:00AM | Netflix |
ET | Dead Boy Detectives |
Series premiere (all eight episodes): Based on the comics by Neil Gaiman, a group of teenage ghosts solve paranormal mysteries in the mortal realm. |
Moving on to the next four scenes as scripted:
154 INT - MASTER BEDROOM - DAY 154
Through the open door, Tracy can be seen still at the
gallery windows. Finally, she turns and walks toward
the bedroom. She walks up the three steps, crosses
into the room and sits on the edge of the bed. TRUCK
IN ON HER CLOSE-UP as she looks up at something O.S.
155 TOWER - THROUGH THE WINDOW - TRACY'S P.O.V. 155
TRACY - CLOSE-UP
as she stares at the tower. Finally, averting her
gaze, she looks through the open bedroom door. Some-
thing catches her eye O.S.
156 QUENTIN'S JACKET - TRACY'S P.O.V. - WIDE ANGLE 156
Trough the bedroom doorway, Quentin's jacket is
seen draped over the back of a chair in the gallery.
ZOOM IN.
157 INT - GALLERY - DAY 157
as Tracy enters from the bedroom, she looks down the
hall, making sure Carlotta is not there, and then
crosses to the jacket, where she reaches into his
pocket, comes out with Quentin's keys.
And so the interesting thing here is that nearly everything that's scripted to happen in these four scenes does indeed take place in the film, except it's all set in the Gallery and not the Master Bedroom and the Gallery:
After Tracy's unscripted action of looking at Angelique's portrait, she gets up, crosses to the side window, and looks out -
- and up to the Tower Room -
- after which she turns back to look at Angelique's portrait -
- (though we don't see it this time) and then her attention is captured by -
- something off screen in the room, after which the camera pans down to reveal Quentin's jacket-
- draped over a chair - and after quickly looking back at the tower room -
- (though we don't see it this time), Tracy crosses over to the jacket (with no need to make sure Carlotta isn't around), picks it up, and begins to go through the pockets -
- and once she finds Quentin's keys -
- she soon sees that the tower room's key -
- is on the ring, whereupon she puts the jacket back in place and moves to exit the room.
What a great scene. Fab image for today's line.
