The Debt Page #2

Rachel stares back at him in silence.

Sarah appears behind the boy, her son, and scoops him up

into a hug. Still the boy stares at his grandmother, who

gives a tight smile and turns back to the sea.

Another guest walks up to Sarah and she nods, smiling, at

what he is saying to her but her eyes slide back to her

mother, standing on the other side of the glass.

8 1NT/EXT. APARTMENT BLOCK. TEL AVIV SUBURB - DAY 8

A shabby, dimly-lit stairwell in a run-down section of the

city.

A YOUNG MOSSAD AGENT knocks at one of the apartment doors.

After a moment it is answered by OLDER DAVID, now 62.

YOUNG AGENT:

David Peretz?

DAVID:

Yes.

YOUNG AGENT:

You were expecting me?

David looks at this young version of himself.

DAVID:

Yes. I was expecting you.

YOUNG AGENT:

Would you come with me sir?

David stares at him, then walks back into the apartment.

The door almost swings shut and the Agent catches it,

considering walking in after him. But before he can, David

re-emerges carrying his jacket.

DAVID:

catch up, tries to work something out, to decide...

9 EXT. STREET - CONTINUOUS 9

The apartment block stands on stilts. Abandoned furniture

is piled around the columns supporting the building.

Still on David as the two men walk out from the darkness

into the street that services the run-down estate. David

follows as the agent moves ahead towards a larger road.

They cross a busy carriageway, and wait for a moment on the

central reservation for a break in the traffic.

Parked on the far side of the road, two identical cars,

their windows tinted.

The Agent moves to the leading car, opens the driver’s door

and gets in. David stops in the road, opens the rear

passenger door and throws his jacket inside.

He pauses for a moment and turns to look back at the second

car.

10 INT. CAR - CONTINUOUS 10

A MAN sits in the back of the car, silhouetted against the

brightness outside. This is OLDER Stephan, now 63.

He watches as David straightens up, hands on hips,

squinting up at the sun.

11 EXT. STREET. TEL AVIV SUBURB - CONTINUOUS 11

DAVID:

(Indistinctly)

Sorry.

The Agent turns.

YOUNG AGENT:

What, sir?

DAVID:

(Beat)

I - I think I...
