Fairbank is hand cuffed and takes a seat.

Hastings exits followed by Kate.

KATE:

(Sincere and glad.)

Sir --well done.

HASTINGS:

Well done yourself.

Hastings heads towards his office.

CUT TO:

INT. AC-12. LIFT/WAITING AREA. MOMENTS LATER.

Two uniforms escort Fairbank into the lift.

Kate swipes her ID to open the gates.

KATE:

Custody arranged at Polk Avenue.

Fairbank turns to face Kate.

FAIRBANK:

You think you’ve got me? You

haven’t got a clue! I hope you like

the outdoors --because you are

going to be directing traffic till

the end of your sad little career.

The lift door closes on Fairbank’s dark and

threatening look.

CUT TO:

INT. STEVE’S FLAT. CONTINUOUS.

Alone Steve draws the curtains.

He crosses to the sofa. On the table an empty

bottle of wine.

He opens the laptop and the screen from the

previous night with the name Lenora Sands.

He drinks his vitamin orange drink. Looks at the

screen. A total depressed mess.

He picks up his jacket and realises his

pocketbooks gone.

Realises Lindsay must have stolen it.

Steve rushes to a parking space that’s empty --|

STEVE |

Sh*t. |

|

Steve dials his phone as he runs out into the |

street. |

|

STEVE (CONT’D)|

(Into phone.)|

Yeah. 5... 5 Kingsgate Apartments. |
