Enter Police Officer 2 in a hurry.] Police Officer 2: "S-Sir, I have received news that his Highness is murdered! Police Officer 1: "His Highness, King Duncan? You can't be serious!" Police Officer 2: "My good sir, I am! Macbeth has ordered us to come to investigate this crime." Police Officer 1: "Of course. Does he know anything himself?" Police Officer 2: "Ay, he does. He said that it was the dagger of the servants that stabbed the King to death and that, in his fury, Macbeth cut them down before they could hurt anyone else." Police Officer 1: "We best get on with interviewing the witnesses, then." Police Officer 2: "Right. I received word that Donalbain and Malcolm will be leaving Scotland soon, so we should split up to save time."

SCENE 2: DONALBAIN PO1: Your highness, I have come to question you about His Majesty King Duncan's death. DON.: What are your questions? Please hurry, as I must get to Ireland soon. PO1: Excuse me for causing the delay. Where were you when King Duncan was murdered? DON: I was to be found at Macbeth's home. PO1: And did you notice any strange activity there? DON: I do not recall anything srange. PO1: All right, but the why are you traveling to Ireland? Leprechaun: [in background with flag] Those Scottish Thanes, always after my Lucky Charms! DON: I fear for my own life; I believe the culprit is still out there, waiting to slit my throat. PO1: But Macbeth claims to have slain the killers... DON: I believe there is more to look into. If you'll excuse me, I must part to Ireland. PO1: Thank you for your time, sir. DON: (heads toward "Ireland" and is greeted by Leprechaun) Leprechaun: Top o' the mornin' to ya! DON: Hi!

SCENE 3: MALCOLM PO2: I'd like to ask you some questions about your father's death. MAL: Okay, but please hurry. I must flee to England soon. PO2: Where were you when King Duncan was murdered? MAL: I was at Macbeth's home. PO2: Why are you heading to England? MAL: I fear that the murderer is still out there and that he will kill me, too. PO2: But Macbeth has assured everyone that he has killed them. MAL: I believe that Macbeth's actions were very suspicious. He could be trying to cover up his own guilt, so please, if you must question him, be careful. PO2: Okay, I will. Thank you for answering my questions. Malcolm: Is that a Norwegian? Norwegian: (in distance) Alt for Norge!* (waving flag) PO2: Excuse me, sir, I must apprehend this enemy of Scotland! [runs after and tackles Norwegian]

SCENE 4: LADY MACBETH PO 1: Lady Macbeth, I am from the Royal Mounted Police of Cana-- er, Scotland. I've heard about Duncan's murder and I'd like to ask you a few things. Lady: Yes, of course, sir. Ask whatever you wish. PO 1: Did you see your husband kill the two guards? Lady: No, I did not seem him kill the guards. In fact, I was not even aware of it until after I awoke from fainting. PO 1: Who did you hear it from? Lady: I believe Macbeth told me himself. I questioned him about it when they removed the bodies. PO 1: And he told you about what he had done? Lady: Yes. I was horrified by the scene. But he assured me they were the killers and that he had killed them out of rage. PO 1: And what of the murder of the King himself? Did you notice anything strange beforehand?" Lady: No, I do not. Everyone seemed to have been enjoying themselves at supper. No one acted strangely. PO 1: And you are not aware of any possible motives for the murder? Lady: Besides the fact that he is His Majesty? No. PO 1: Very well. Thank you for your time, my lady. I hope the questions didn't stress you too much. Lady: No stress, officer. I hope you can find the one who did this horrible deed.

SCENE 5: DRUNK PORTER PO 1: Sir, I'd like to ask you some questions. I heard you were working as the porter at Macbeth's home on the night of King Duncan's murder. Porter: Well, good for you, then! PO 1: So... It's true, then? Porter: Sure. PO 1: A-alright.. Well, did you notice anything strange while you were there? Porter: Hmm.. Well.. OH LOOK, it's a tree.... PO 1: Sir, please focus on the question. Porter: What was the question again? PO 1: Did you notice anythign suspicious? Anyone who could have had a motive for killing Duncan? Porter: No, but would you like a drink? (comes very close to the officer) PO 1: No... No thank you! Thank you for your time, sir... (runs away)

SCENE 6: BANQUO PO 2: I'd like to ask you some questions about Duncan's murder. Banquo: Alright, what would you like to ask? PO 2: Did you know of any of any possible reasons why someone would want to kil the King? Banquo: No. There will always be ambitious people, but I did not know of any who would go so far as to murder Duncan. PO 2: Were there any extra tensions among people close to the King? Banquo: No, none as far as I was concerned. PO 2: Is there anything else you can tell me? Banquo: Well, I don't know anything for certain, but... Macbeth killed those guards quickly, without even questioning them. He seemed rather hasty, and that's suspicious... I can't say any more than that. PO 2: Thank you.

SCENE 7: MACBETH PO 1: Your Majesty, we are from the royal mounted police of Canada. PO 2: Scotland. PO 1: Right. Scotland. PO 2: We'd like to ask you some questions about King Duncan's murder. Macbeth: Certainly, what are your questions? PO 1: Is it true that you killed the two guards? Macbeth: Yes. I saw that they had killed the late King Duncan and I was overcome with rage. It was my first impulse. PO 2: Did you pause to question them? Macbeth: No. As I said, it was impulsive. PO 1: We found alcohol on the guards. Can you explain this at all? Macbeth: My wife, she-- oh. No. I have nothing to say about that. PO 1: You seem to know more than you're saying, and unless you tell us, we'll have to take you in for further questioning. Macbeth: I can't allow that. (kills Police Officer 1.) PO 2: (runs screaming and is pursued into bathroom) Macbeth: They knew I was the murderer.. And the ones they interviewed must know, too. I should kill them before they can apprehend me... What? What is this strange device? (crushes camera)

TO BE CONTINUED, OR NOT TO BE CONTINUED. THAT IS THE QUESTION.

**WRITTEN-** Scene translated into modern English Haley and Lauren

Act III, Scene II Lady: Where is Banquo? Servant: He is away right now, but he'll return tonight. Lady: Tell the king that I would like to speak to him. Servant: I will. [exit servant] Lady: We have killed Duncan and gained the positions of King and Queen, and yet Macbeth is still not content. He is needlessly worried. [enter Macbeth] How are you, my husband? Why is it that you are still having these thoughts? You should not be acting on them, because we have already accomplished our goal. Everything is done now. Macbeth: We haven't finished our jobs yet. There are still those who suspect us of foul play, and if we do not do something about it, we will stilll be in danger. Their suspicions could set us right back where we started--or worse. I will be fearful each day until I am certain that our positions are secure. Duncan is almost fortunate to have been killed, I think now; nothing can harm him in death. Lady: Let's forget about these troubles now. Get ready so you can enjoy our supper tonight with the guests. Macbeth: I will, and I hope you will, as well. But keep in mind that Banquo is stilll a threat. Act kind to him; diguise the uneasiness and distrust that we must harbor for him. Lady: You must forget about this. Macbeth: But it haunts me to know that Banquo and Fleance are alive! Lady: They will not live for eternity. Macbeth: I am comforted only by the fact that they can be killed. Their presence is a great danger to me. Something must be done. Lady: Like what? Macbeth: You should stay out of this and keep what innocence you have. I will inform you after it is done and over with. It sickens me to think that I will harm someone I know so well, but I have to do this. You arte shocked by my words, but please keep away from this. Things that start out badly will only get worse. So, please, let me do this.
