NICHOLAS:

NADIA:
Drag you out
GOLDENROD REVISIONS 20.10.09 5.
NICHOLAS:
NO, NO DON’T!
NADIA:
I want to be with you. I thought
you’d be pleased...
8B POV. EXT. DAY. STONEFIELD / INT. DAY. NICHOLAS’ SHED 8B
Through the window Nicholas sees Beth leaving a scone by
Diggory, a sleeping poet in a pretentious hat.
NICHOLAS:
Of course I’m pleased... Nadia, go
to the pub and stay there. I’ll come
when I can.
NADIA:
Are you going to tell her?
NICHOLAS:
Just give me a couple of hours
He ends the call just as Beth is nearing the door - panicking
the phone back on to its holder.
NICHOLAS (CONT'D)
Cock pie.
Beth opens the door to see Nicholas apparently hard at it.
BETH:
How’s the worker?
NICHOLAS:
Good actually. Just about to embark
on forensics.
BETH:
Well give me your pages and I’ll get
started.
Nicholas hands her several pages.
NICHOLAS:
Reckon I might pack it in a bit
early today. Need to think about my
blood smears. Might take a drive;
have a pint. Stir the old grey
matter up.
BETH:
Who were you talking to just then?
NICHOLAS:
Judy. She says the Impala contracts
should be through in a day or two.

Beth immediately knows he is lying. The lie pains her. She
goes to the door.
GOLDENROD REVISIONS 20.10.09 6.
Beth decides to try and call his bluff.
BETH:
I could come with you.
NICHOLAS:
What?
BETH:
For a drive. I don’t know when we
last went out.
Buying time by biting his scone:
NICHOLAS:
This is absolutely yummy.
BETH:
We could go into Hadditon, get a
meal.
NICHOLAS:
Yes but. What about the guests?
BETH:
Mary’s got Casey to help.
NICHOLAS:
But I’m supposed to be thinking,
you know about the
BETH:
You can run it by me. I’m good at
forensics.
Nicholas has run out of excuses.
9 EXT. DAY. STONEFIELD - THE GROUNDS. 9
Beth approaches Andy with her scones and biscuits. Nearby,
Glen is sitting back in a sun-lounger. Diggory sleeps on.
BETH:
Can I tempt you, Andy?
Andy takes a scone with a wide smile.
BETH (CONT'D)
That’s Glen, our new academic. Turns
out he’s working on Thomas Hardy.
Said he might have some farming
questions.
ANDY:
Needs an expert yokel, does he?
GOLDENROD REVISIONS 20.10.09 6A.
BETH:
Would you mind? And the writers are
eating al fresco tonight; could you
check there’s no bird sh*t on the
seats? Sorry.
Beth looks distant, troubled.
ANDY:
You OK?
GOLDENROD REVISIONS 20.10.09 7.
BETH:
Yes. Nicholas and I are going out
to dinner.
As she walks away, Andy glances at the shed, a look of
puzzled dislike on his face.
