Seven Scene 1 Summary

  • It's Monday! Morgan Freeman rinses his coffee cup and gets dressed. Where is he going?
  • Ew, he's going to a crime scene.
  • It seems his name is Detective Somerset, and ooh-la-la, a hot new cop named Detective Mills, who looks just like Brad Pitt, shows up.
  • Mills has just been transferred, and Somerset is retiring.
  • Somerset doesn't understand why anyone would want to be transferred to this particular homicide division.
  • Somerset makes it clear that for the next seven days (seven!), he's in charge.
  • Then, he goes home and tries to fall asleep to the soothing sounds of his metronome. Tick.
  • Tick. Tick. Tick.
  • Tick.
