405 INT. PRISON. VPU. LINDSAY’S CELL. MOMENTS LATER.

Lindsay finishes her meagre breakfast. She pushes the bowl

away from her and this reveals a note concealed under the

bowl (trapped between the bowl and the tray). She reacts.

CUT TO:

406 INT. STEVE’S FLAT. MOMENTS LATER.

Steve takes a bite out of his toast as Rogerson comes deeper

into the kitchen. She picks up items of her clothing

discarded the night before.

STEVE:

Tea? Coffee?

ROGERSON:

Got to get going.

STEVE:

(Beat.)

Okay.

ROGERSON:

Anyway. You’ve got my number.

STEVE:

Seriously, I’m making myself a

coffee ...

ROGERSON:

(Beat.)

Okay.

He starts making the coffee.

STEVE:

Milk? Sugar?

ROGERSON:

Just milk.

More awkward beats while he makes it. If only to deal with

the awkwardness, she moves to the fridge. She brings out the

milk. There’s an awkward misunderstanding as he reaches for

it before she hands it over, he brings his hand back just as

she moves it towards him.

ROGERSON:

Sorry.

STEVE:

Sorry.

406 CONTINUED:

ROGERSON:

It’s fine, I’ll do my own.

STEVE:

Okay.

He watches her add the milk to her cup. He puts his aside and

steps towards her. She senses him just behind her. From

behind, he slips his hands round her hips and down under her

shirt. He steps in and kisses her neck. They’ll continue, but

we cut.

From a tray, Hastings lays a pot of tea and two cups and

saucers on the table in front of Roisin.

ROISIN:

Thank you.

He sits. He reaches for the pot.

ROISIN:

You know to let it brew.

He takes his hand back. Awkward beats.

HASTINGS:

I’ve had to disclose the situation.

At work.

ROISIN:

Our situation?

HASTINGS:

Only the money.

408A CONTINUED:

ROISIN:

Now the whole world knows our

business.

HASTINGS:

Just one Executive Officer, in

confidence. A top man. He’s

fighting for all the right things

for the Service.

ROISIN:

Right.

HASTINGS:

In fact, this particular officer

thinks just as highly of me. I can

see things getting better.

ROISIN:

How so?

HASTINGS:

By putting myself forward for

promotion. When this case is over.

This particular officer’s as good

as tipped me the wink.

ROISIN:

Right.

HASTINGS:

A promotion’s no small thing, love.

Pay rise. Bigger pension.
