He lays a cruise brochure (fictional company) on the table.
ROISIN:
What’s this?
HASTINGS:
What’s it look like? We talked
about it often enough.
(Off her resistant look.)
Things are on the up. Have a look.
Pick one.
ROISIN:
(Admonishing but falling
for it.)
Ted.
HASTINGS:
Go on. Look at it.
ROISIN:
We need to be clear on a few things
first.

408A CONTINUED:
(2)HASTINGS:
(Beat or two to take her
meaning.)
I’ll say again, I’m deeply sorry. I
should’ve discussed the finances
with you. All I wanted was to
surprise you, with the best
possible life for us both.
ROISIN:
(Beats. Of brochure.)
Where’s the harm in looking?
HASTINGS:
Looking’s no crime. And I should
know!
She’s given him a chink of encouragement. One tiny chink
means the world to him. She starts to flick through the
brochure. He pours the tea eagerly, a man with hope in his
heart again.
CUT TO:
409
INT. AC-12. OPEN-PLAN OFFICE/HASTINGS’ OFFICE. LATER THAT
DAY.
Steve, Kate and Cottan are at their desks. All three are
reading a document headed FINANCIAL FORENSICS REPORT.
Hastings comes out of his office, holding the same document.
They all rise.
HASTINGS:
Look alive.
They all troop into his office.
HASTINGS:
We’ve all read the report. So DS
Akers appears to have been on the
take.
STEVE:
(Supporting Kate.)
It’s only circumstantial so far.
COTTAN:
If the officer meant to be taking
care of a protected witness is
getting paid off, and that witness
ends up getting killed, it doesn’t
leave much room for circumstances
as far as I’m concerned.
(To Kate.)
Sorry, mate.

409 CONTINUED:
KATE:
Evidence is evidence.
HASTINGS:
Good. The husband -- Dot, Steve,
you reckon he was acting
suspiciously?
STEVE:
I could’ve jumped to the wrong
conclusion.
Again Steve is trying to protect Kate. It just makes them
both very uneasy.
KATE:
It’s fine, Steve. Let’s do our
jobs.
HASTINGS:
Well said, Kate. We’ll put it
beyond doubt. Bring the husband in
for questioning and make sure we
get a 32 search done on the house.
KATE:
Very good, sir.
HASTINGS:
Crack on, thanks.
Hastings moves to usher them out.
STEVE:
Sir. We haven’t discussed Deputy
Chief Constable Dryden.
Hastings pauses, but looks ill at ease.
STEVE:
Lindsay Denton’s thrown suspicion
towards him and so far it’s all
checked out. They worked together
in Crime Audit. They had contact
outside of work. He made sure she
was on duty the night of the
ambush.
HASTINGS:
That’s one hell of an accusation to
be throwing at a senior officer
with an outstanding record of
public service.
