LARGE, RUN-DOWN (LIVED-IN BUT NO SIGN OF

LIFE) HOUSE, ON HER MOBILE]

JANE:

Clint, did you get the lab? (LISTENS) Okay, and any progress on the

Grosvenor court date? (LISTENS) Good. Listen, see if you can find any

council records on a Greyvale Childrens' Home, will you?

[SHE TURNS, GETTING A SENSE OF GEOGRAPHY,

SPYING:

BLUFF POINT IN THE DISTANCE]

JANE:

Yep, that's it. Active in the 70's. (LISTENS) Anything you can turn up,

Seems to be working now! (MOVING OFF) Perhaps a touch of

performance anxiety?

[ALL BONHOMIE HE MOVES OFF, DAVEY WALKING

WITH HIM]

DAVEY:

Quite a place you've got.

CHARLES:

Yes, open to the masses these days, of course, tramping through the Great

Hall. But it pays the bills!

DAVEY:

So, Greyvale? You were listed in an old police database as...

CHARLES:

Trustee, yes. Always getting "volunteered" for worthy causes. (JOKING,

RE SHOOTING) Price of being a straight shooter, I suppose.

DAVEY:

So what can you tell me about the place..?

CHARLES:

Gosh, now we're going back. But it seemed well-run, insofar as I could tell.

Ron... (REMEMBERING) Tate, the manager, preferred a free hand, as I

recall.

DAVEY:

And what about the kids? Any... troubled girls getting themselves into

bother?
