2 women - one making coffee the other looking in a cupboard of mugs
Sophie: Oh...
Lisa: You alright Sophe?
Sophie: Yeah, I just can't find my mug.
Lisa: Oh I'm sorry I'm sure it'll turn up.
Sophie: Yeah...
09:15 - Sophie's desk
Sophie is working away and Marc is walking by and stops.
Marc (surprised): No tea today Sophe?
Sophie: No not today Marc I couldn't find my mug.
Marc: Oh no! I'll have a quick look for it while I make my coffee.
09:30 - Lisa's desk - Marc is standing beside her desk with coffee in hand chatting to Lisa as she works
Marc: Oh did you hear about Sophie's mug?
Lisa: Yeah, it's a shame.
Marc: I tried to find it but just could not see it anywhere.
Lisa: We could ask around. See if anyone else has seen anything.
Marc: OH! I'll go ask the cleaners!
Lisa: And I could make flyers!
Marc (reaching out for a high-five): Gooooo Team!
Lisa rolls her eyes and gets on with making the flyers at her computer
Marc retracts the high-five and tries to laugh it off and exits awkwardly.
09:35 - cleaning cupboard
Marc knocks on the door and peeks round looking into the cupboard. The cleaning staff are sat on buckets smoking and cackling with laughter. They look quit gross and rough.
Marc: Hey guys! sooo you know Sophie on 6th?
Blank glares from cleaning staff
Marc: Yeah well, she's lost her mug and I was wanting to ask, check really if you might know what happened to it?
Cleaning staff grunt angrily at him.
Marc: No! I'm not saying you took it I'm just checking if you've seen it or if it has happened to end up in your care and you want to return then you can -
The cleaning staff throws cleaning products at Marc he jumps back and slams the door quickly. We can hear a clatter followed by a cackle.
09:45 - Photocopier - Lisa is coping the flyers she made Marc enters
Marc: Right! Well the cleaning staff were no help! Bloody brutes! I think we need to get more serious I was thinking of hiring meeting room B and bringing people in for an investigation.
Lisa: Like good cop bad cop?
Marc: No Lisa don't be ridiculous this is the real world not some US cop drama. Notice you've been no help so far by the way.
Lisa: Actually Marc I'm making missing posters (holding up a poster to Marc) see.
Marc: Right- well I'll keep doing the real work like interrogating the team. While you post missing posters around the office.
Marc storms off
10:15 - Inside the meeting room. It's dull with a signal light and a desk with a man (Jeff) sat in a chair waiting.
Marc enters
Marc: Hi, Jeff thanks for meeting me.
Jeff: Marc is this going to be long? I've very busy with reports. And why is it so dark?
Marc: I'll ask the questions Jeff! What do you know about the missing mug?
Jeff: What mug?
Marc: Don't play dumb Jeff you went to make coffee early this morning and there was reports of loads of clatter followed by a smash. So I'll ask again (Slamming a picture of Sophie's mug on the table, it's white and says Sophie on it) What do you know about the mug Jeff!?
Jeff: You mean Sophie's mug?
Marc: SO you do know something! I bet you smashed it didn't you!
Jeff: No Marc. I dropped my mug this morning and it smashed. (Getting up) Look I don't have time for this. (Leaving) See you later.
Marc: Yeah well I guess that is possible.
Sophie's desk - she is buying herself a personalised mug with her name on it for very cheap with same day delivery.
10.30 - Wall Beside Sophie's desk Lisa has put a height chart up with mug pictures like a police line up.
Lisa (to Sophie): Could you please point to the culprit? (beat - Lisa looks very please) Or should I say cup-rit? eh mam?
Sophie (pointing at her mug): This one.
Lisa: Are you sure mam?
Sophie: Uh - yeah.
Sophie gets back to work.
Lisa: Interesting, very interesting indeed.
11.00 - The whole office has been torn apart, tables flipped, paper everywhere, Lisa is crawling about on the floor with missing posters crying "Has anyone seen this mug!" with make-up running down her face. Marc is harassing Jeff shouting and waving his arms about "I know you did it Jeff! Just confess! Do it! Confess". Jeff is ignoring him and continuing work on his computer. Someone has started a fire for some reason. The office in chaos over this mug. Sophie is nowhere to be seen.
Still 11.00 - Office reception Sophie is collecting a package, the label on it clearly shows it's for a custom mug. Sophie carries the package to the lift passing one of the cleaners who is holding a mug. As she passes, the camera focuses on the cleaners face as they take a drink. The mug has Sophie written on it and looks like the one Sophie was browsing earlier.
