He goes away for one night, you

come here to my cottage. Every time

he leaves the room, you look at me.

They are close. Very close. Heat between them.

JED:

Who are you? I want to know.

Beat.

PINE:

Trust me. You don’t.

She moves to kiss him.

PINE (CONT’D)

Listen. Go home now. Go along the

beach. Make it visible. Make sure

someone sees you when you get back.

Say you couldn’t sleep and went for

a night-time stroll. When Roper

gets back, stop the cold shoulder

treatment. Be nice to him. Make him

happy. OK?

He opens the door. She stares at him then leaves slamming the

door in the night.

6 EXT. MADRID. RESTAURANT. DAY. 6

APOSTOL (IN SPANISH)

Nicolas, the usual table please.

WAITER (IN SPANISH)

Certainly Mr Apostol.

APOSTOL (IN SPANISH)

Is Mercedes here?

WAITER (IN SPANISH)

No sir. She had to leave. But your

other guest is here.

APOSTOL stares at him in surprise.

7 INT. MADRID. RESTAURANT. DAY. 7

APOSTOL approaches to find ANGELA BURR sitting at his table.

APOSTOL:

What do you want?

BURR smiles.

BURR:

Your girlfriend tells me you’re

taking her to Istanbul. Very

romantic.

APOSTOL:

Listen, I did what you asked.

BURR:

How’s the sleeping?

APOSTOL:

Still bad. I don’t think you’re

such a good confessor after all.

BURR:

Well - one good deed at a time.

Isn’t that what the good Lord said?

She takes out the printouts of Pine’s photographs from

Roper’s office. Hands them to APOSTOL across the table. Who

stares at them with evident ill-ease.

APOSTOL:

Where did you get this?

BURR:

Lucky dip.

APOSTOL:

Don’t bull-sh*t me. Who got you

these? Someone on the inside?

Smart man. BURR senses it. And is on him like a flash. But

gently. Gently...

BURR:

Please don’t make trouble with me

Juan. I much prefer being your

friend. (beat) Now look here. I

have code names and numbers. I have

pages that cross-refer. What I

don’t have is someone who can join

the dots. And tell me what the hell

is going on.

She stares at APOSTOL with a mischievous smile.

The grey city of London. ANGELA BURR sits alone, her black

ANGELA BURR walks in to the old office. SINGHAL is there to

greet her. BURR hangs up her coat, surveys the old room. A

moment alone, her little empire.

No it’s bloody not.
