His dad walks in the front door hangs his coat and hat on a stand then kneels down to speak to his son then exits the scene.

or
  • Murdered teddy bear, white outline of a bear drawn on the kitchen floor.
Crumbs from the cookie jar lead him to one of his toys and he begins an interegation under a swinging lamp. He acts out a good cop bad cop routeen by himself swaping between the two personas as the bear remains silent but his imagination fills in the conversation to move along the investigation.

  1. I prefer ending 2, its like you can have a DUH DUH DUH moment as the Dad becomes the suspect, and the son looks at him as if to say, "it was you all along!, I've got you now..."
