DONAL (OOV)

Holy f***ing Mary. I’m a f***ing

concrete farmer. Did you ever see

me read anything written down on

paper.

IVAN:

You’re ok. You know how to run a

pump, you know how to run trucks

back-to-back and turn trucks back,

you know how to test for slumps.

DONAL (OOV)

I’ve never even shovelled on a pump

this big...

Locke - Shooting Script - Feb 21st 2013 8.

IVAN:

It’s the same but more of it. You

just do the same but for longer.

Check it, slump it, send it back if

it’s piss and pump it if its right.

A long pause.

DONAL (OOV)

What did Gareth say?

IVAN:

I haven’t spoken to him yet.

DONAL (OOV)

He’ll f***ing...

IVAN:

I know...

DONAL (OOV)

He’ll go f***ing sideways and

around the houses like his arse is

on fire.

IVAN:

I know.

DONAL (OOV)

Ivan, it’ll be the sack.

IVAN:

I know.

DONAL (OOV)

Jesus, you’re the best foreman I

ever f***ing worked with and the

best site manager. What the hell

is it that’ll make you risk the

sack?

IVAN:

I need you to do this for me Donal.

Start rounding up some cowboys then

call me back. I’ll be on the road.

He cuts the call. Ivan is a strong practical man and he is

facing a crisis which is unfamiliar, but some things he can

keep control of. Men like Donal he can handle. He drives

some more but ten seconds later the phone rings...

IVAN (CONT’D)

Ivan Locke.

BETHAN (OOV)

Ivan?

Locke - Shooting Script - Feb 21st 2013 9.

IVAN LOCKE:

Where are you?

When Bethan speaks she sounds scared to death and in pain.

She’s mid-forties, middle class...

BETHAN (OOV)

I just got admitted. I’m in the

labor ward. It’s called Bailey

ward.

IVAN LOCKE:

Did they say how long?

BETHAN (OOV)

I’m five centimetres.

IVAN LOCKE:

What does that mean?

BETHAN (OOV)

Dilated.

IVAN LOCKE:

I know but what does that mean?

How long?

BETHAN (OOV)

They just left me. I’m on my own.

IVAN LOCKE:

Is there a bell?

BETHAN (OOV)

A what?

IVAN LOCKE:

I don’t know, a buzzer or something

to get a nurse.

BETHAN (OOV)

They just put their head round.

They said it could be hours.

A pause.

IVAN LOCKE:

Are you ok?

BETHAN (OOV)

I need the lavatory...

IVAN LOCKE:

Tell them. Tell them.

BETHAN (OOV)

There’s no one here.

Locke - Shooting Script - Feb 21st 2013 10.

IVAN LOCKE:

Is there a bell?

BETHAN (OOV)

They don’t have bells. What do you

mean?

IVAN LOCKE:

When they put their head round the

door, tell them you need the

lavatory.

BETHAN (OOV)

It’s like a pain I’ve never had.

Right inside all the way up to my

chest.

IVAN LOCKE:

Have you talked to anyone about

pain?
