Shoe Dunnit

Chapter 1

We are in a restaurant in Paris and the Milton Keynes boomerang team representing England have just won the world boomerang championships beating even the Australians into second place. Sophie is their superstar but she has a weakness as you're about to find out.

Jane - the manager

Guys I couldn't be more proud of you. You are world champions, you even beat the Australians and they invented boomerang throwing.

Levi

And I didn't think we'd stand a chance cause the Latvians started so well.

Brianna

Until they hit the referee on the head with that boomerang

john

That was soooo funny

Brianna

Referee didn't think so

Jane

Funny that

Levi

Well, really we need to thank Sophie. Without her talent there's no way we would have won.

Holly

Agreed, her skill is the best in the world everrrrrrrrrr.

john

Agreed too, however, I have to give special mention to something about Sophie that's not so good.

Beverly

Wait, what? What do you mean by that?

john

Sophie is a world beater in boomerang throwing but she's also a world beater with something else.

Beverly

That's out of order bringing it up now.

Katelyn

Well I want to know. What is it?

john

The worlds smelliest feet. Seriously I nearly died when she took her shoe's off the other day.

Sophie

Guys, sorry it's true. I suffer from bromodosis. I am seeking medical advice at the moment and was told that it's the worst case they've ever come accross.

Beverly

Oh that stinks. Oops, no pun intended.

Holly

Beverly, think before you stink, oops I mean before you speak. Beverly I take it back, I'm as bad as you.

Katelyn

I'm sorry to hear that Sophie. Hope it get's sorted soon.

Sophie

Me too. I won't dare take my shoes off in public. People have literally fainted in the past. And that's from a distance.

Waiter

Buon Soir Toute le monde.
It is an honour to have you dine at our restaurant tonight. We have our best Chef Claude cooking for you tonight and I present to you here our brilliant singer Jasmine who will be entertaining you

Jasmine

Hi Everyone

Beverly

Hold on a minute, that accent sounds very familiar

Jasmine

Well guys, I'm from Milton Keynes, I used to live in Shenley Church end

John

flippin eck, that's where I live

Jasmine

Wow, what are the chances?

Sophie

How did you end up here?

Jasmine

I've always wanted to come and live in France, I love their fashion, especially their shoes

Sophie

So it was the shoe's that dunnit?

Jasmine and everyone laugh

Jasmine

I guess that's right. Please excuse me I'm going to get ready to perform. Bye

Everyone

Bye

Waiter

Now, are you all ready to order?

We hear everyone say yes.

Everyone

yes

We zoom in on Sophie who turns to Beverly

Sophie

Beverly could you do me a favour I need to go to the loo. Could you order for me please?

Beverly

Of course. 

We see Sophie get up and leave. Beverly says something to Sophie and then laughs. Sophie gives her a funny look

Beverly

Hope it goes well.

We're back with the waiter who's standing with his notebook writing

Finley

Please can I have the 'LES ESCARGOTS AU BEURRE' please (Snails served in the shell with butter, tomatoes and garlic 9)

Waiter

But of course

Chapter 2

Suddenly we hear a scream coming from the toilets. The girls get up and rush to the toilet. When they get inside they see that there's a locked cubicle.

Beverly

Sophie are you ok?
Sophie are you in there.

they can hear noise in there but there's no reply so Beverly get's down to the ground and looks under the gap

Beverly

I can see Sophie she's on the floor. There's a horrible smell. There's someone else in and...

...oh my gosh

everyone

What is it?

Beverly

the person in there is wearing sophies shoes.

With that Beverly passes out.

Katelyn

Someone help Beverly I'm going to break in to the cubicle using this coin.

We watch this from the side as Katelyn goes in. Comes out after a little while she walks out waving the air around her nose because of a stkink

Katelyn

Sorry everyone. Sophie is dead.

Everyone gasps in horror

Holly

What about that other person that Beverly saw before she passed out?

Katelyn

There's no sign of anyone else in there

Beverly has come round

Beverly

But I definetly saw someone else in there

Holly goes into the cubicle to have a look

Holly

Guys, Sophie's shoe's are gone, she's wearing some really weird and ugly shoe's now

Katelyn

If that's the case then that means Sophie has been murdered. We need to call France's greatest detective

john

You don't mean...

Holly

Yes I do, the legend that is...

...inspector Shuso

Chapter 3

Holly get's out her phone

Holly

Emergency services?
There's been a murder in Restaurant Boom Bang a Bang
I have a special request, please send Inspector Shuso

Holly puts the phone down

Beverly

I still can't believe it. Sophie was my best friend everrrr

Katelyn

She was the most wonderful person I've ever met

Levi

I don't think we can ever win the world boomerang throwing championship ever again without her

Finley

Well Holly is our second best thrower so if she practices enough...

Beverly

Stop right now. Is that all you boys are thinking about? I would rather never win a single competition again but have Sophie here.

John

Well Tim has a point she's left an incredible legacy

Katelyn

You boys are an absolute disgrace

Brianna

Do you think she has been murdered by a rival team?

John

The Russians?

Tim

Maybe the Latvians?

Holly

More likely the Australians

Katelyn

I hate to say this but I suspect Brianna

Brianna

What are you talking about

Katelyn

Brianna you hated her. Everyone knows that.

Holly

You were very jealous of her

Brianna

That doesn't mean I'd kill her

Beverly

Stopppppp guys I think we will soon find out cause inspector Shuso has just arrived

Chapter 4

Inspector Shuso

Good evening everybody

John

Wow, you made it over here quick

Inspector Shuso

Well, not only am I the greatest detective in tous le Monde
I am also a very fast runner

Beverly

Well, let's forget everything else, Inspector please we need you to find out who murdered our great friend Sophie

We see the Inspector being lead to the cubicle while they're telling him what happened. We have music starting at this point so we don't hear what they say

Chapter 5

We reconvene and Inpspector Shuso talks

Inspector Shuso (fake)

Everyone, I need your help. We must all split up and go looking for clues. If you find something shout out and we'll come running.

Everyone runs off to look for clues.
We see Holly and Beverley walking and talking

Beverley

Well think about it, you could always tell that when Sophie got one of those killer boomerang throws...

Holly

That Brianna instead of being happy would put on that fake smile but you could tell she resented it.

Beverley

Exactly

 

Chapter 6

Suddenly they hear a scream, they look at each other and then run to where the scream came from which is the disabled toilet.

When they get there they see Levi coming out

Levi

It's Brianna, I'm afraid she's dead.

Holly and Beverley walk over to the door. We see their faces like the camera's in the disable toilet and they look shocked and horrified.

Levi

Well, bang goes your theory that Brianna was the killer

They hear lots of pots and pans falling and a loud scream coming from the kitchen. They all run there but as they get there they see Finley coming out saying

Finley

Guy's I'm really sorry but it's Claude the chef. He's dead.

Suddenly they hear Jasmine the singer. She's singing an operatic piece when suddenly the words turn to "

Jasmine

oh my god it's you, What are you doing with that? Noooooooooooo'

They all run to the room where she was practicing but before they get there they find Jane the manager coming out

Jane

Sorry guys, it's best that you don't look. Let's just say, Jasmine will never sing again, at least, not in this life.

Chapter 7

Suddenly inspector Shuso arrives

Inspector Shuso (Fake)

What has happened

Jane

Well inspector, first...

John

Hold on a minute

John has spotted something sticking out of the inspectors pocket and pulls it out only to find it's Sophie's shoe. Everyone looks shocked

Jane

Guys, I think we've found our killer.

Inspector Shuso tries to run but John grabs him helped by Tim

Beverly

So it was you all along?

Inspector Shuso (fake)

I'm saying nothing

Inspector Shuso (real)

There's a reason why he's saying nothing

Everyone does a double take. While John and Tim are holding one Inspector Shuso another one has just walked in

Everyone

What the heck?

Jane

Why have we got two inpector Shuso's?

Inspector Shuso (real)

The person you're holding is an imposter. I came as fast as I could but I was in another town. I started looking into the case in the back of the taxi on the way here. Using my very unique investigation technique, and I have uncovered a few things.

The fake me is from the australian boomerang team. Your colleague Sophie, now deceased, had the worlds worst case of smelly feet ever recorded. So potent that if you put her shoe over someone's nose and mouth, they will die. That is exactly what he did.  

Jane

Well how do we know that you're real and not a fake

Inspector Shuso (real)

Take of the imposters hat and you'll see.

They do exactly that and see that his moustache is fake unlike the real inspector

Katelyn

But why, why did he kill her that's what I want to know?

Inspector Shuso (real)

That I don't know. You'll have to ask him

John

I think it was jelousy

Inspector Shuso (fake)

No it wasn't. In fact totally the contrary. I admired Sophie so much. Too much. To the point that I wanted to be her. But the only way I could be her was to walk in her shoes.

Holly

So you killed her to wear her shoes?

Inspector Shuso (fake)

Well so I could take her place, but to achieve that I first had to take the place of Inspector Shuso to achieve my goal

Inspector Shuso (real)

But it started to go wrong didn't if fake inspector?

Beverly

But why did you kill the others?

Inspector Shuso (real)

Because he kept getting found out once they spotted Sophie's shoe in his pocket

John

And everytime they found out he killed them using the shoe

Inspector Shuso (real)

Precisely, so that he wouldn't get found out. But he's found out now

Inspector Shuso (fake)

So now you know however...

Suddenly the fake inspector breaks free and says

Inspector Shuso (fake)

I am the the Australian sprint champion you cannot catch me

With that he runs off outside laughing with everyone following but he's too fast so they give up. 

Inspector Shuso (real)

Guys don't panic

He picks up Sophies shoe while holding his nose.

Inspector Shuso (real)

Holly I found our your the second best boomerang thrower after Sophie. You know what to do.

Sophie takes the shoe while holding her nose with the other hand. She takes aim and throws. But misses.

Holly

Oh no, sorry everyone. I failed. Now we'll never catch him.

Sophie

Oh yes we will, we have my other shoe remember

Suddenly Sophie is standing there and everyone says

Everyone

What the heckkkkkkkk?

Sophie takes aim and throws the shoe. We watch it's trajectory and we will alternate between seeing the fake inspectors run and the following conversation.

Katelyn

How are you alive

Sophie

Guys, my smelly shoes knocked me out, however after years of adapting I'm immune to my own poison 

Beverly

You know what. I don't care if we catch him or not. We have you back so I'm happy.

John

Ehm, there's a small matter of her murdering Brianna

Jane

and the cook and the singer

Sophie

In that case we do need revenge

We see the shoe curve round, and come back right on his face and knocks the fake inspector to the ground. Everyone jumps up cheering throwing Sophie up in the air
