Line of Duty Page #3

STEVE:

Thank you, ma’am. You’ve been very

helpful.

Steve exits. McAndrew looks very worried.

And so does Hari. Exits.

CUT TO:

EXT. STREET CORNER. MOMENTS LATER.

Hari pulls up by a pay-phone.

We see from Kate’s POV looking through

binoculars Hari get out of his car and crosses

to the pay-hone.

Hari refers to the text, and dials the number.

CUT TO:

INT. KATE’S CAR. CONTINUOUS.

Kate watches from a long way off, via

binoculars. She speed-dials her phone.

AC-12 OPERATOR (O.S.)

(Out of phone)

AC-12.

KATE:

(Into phone)

DC Fleming. Put me through to

Telecommunications please.

The call is put straight through. There’s a ring

tone, then it’s answered.

TELECOMS OFFICER (O.S.)

(Out of phone)

Telecoms.

KATE:

(Into phone.)

DC Fleming. I need an

identification on the last number

dialled from a pay-phone on the

corner of Calman Road and Turner

Road.

TELECOMS OFFICER (O.S.)

(Out of phone)

Standby.

CUT TO:

INT. TELEPHONE BOX. MOMENTS LATER.

AUTOMATED OPERATOR (O.S.)

The number you have called is not

recognised. Please check the number

and try again. The number you have

called is not recognised.

Hari hangs up. He looks strung out, at his wits’

end.

CUT TO:

INT. KATE’S CAR. CONTINUOUS.

Kate waits. While she does so, she watches Hari

returns to his car.

CUT TO:

INT. AC-12. OPEN-PLAN OFFICE. LATER THAT DAY.

Hastings walks from his office following Dot to

Steve’s desk. Dot is poker faced and plays his

part perfectly as ever.

DOT:

Kate reports Bains attempting to

make a call to this number -

Dot points to the number that appears on his

computer screen with all the relevant detail

logged by Telecommunications, eg time of call,

duration, origin, mobile phone provider, mobile

phone cell etc. Not seen by us.

DOT (CONT’D)

--it relates to an unregistered

pay-as-you-go mobile. Now the call

couldn’t be connected because

either the phone or the sim card

was out of service.

STEVE:

I’ve got Maneet liaising with the

mobile network provider to see what

information we can get about the

number.

Steve indicates Maneet sitting a couple of rows

away, intensely busy on a computer.

Suddenly Dot looks very worried.

DOT:

Great.

HASTINGS:

Tell Kate I want her on Hari Bains

round the clock.
