Plot outline
Two female detectives sit in on a bench in a park - they are both happy as they have just caught the murderer for a series of crimes. We see that there is a potential romance going on between the two women and that the solving of the case may allow them to get closer. Olivia, the main detective gets a phone call; another officer informs her that they have just found a new piece of evidence revealing that the person who they thought was the killer was, in fact, an accomplice. The real killer was none other than Jodie: the detective who is sitting with her (dun dun duuuun). Olivia's expression changes - Jodie realises what is going on. Olivia asks Jodie to come with her, but Jodie breaks into a sprint and Olivia pursues her.
The pursuit takes them to a quiet urban area, and Olivia manages to corner Jodie. Jodie grabs a random passer-by, David, and holds a knife to their throat, threatening to kill him. Olivia manages to persuade her otherwise and Jodie releases him before slitting her own throat.
