9.

Fergus gives her the gun.

FERGUS:

You look after him.

Jody's head follows Fergus while he leaves.

JODY:

Don't leave me with her, man. She's

dangerous...

Jude smiles, holding the gun on her lap.

INT. FARMHOUSE - DAY

Fergus enters. Maguire and the others. Maguire has a

newspaper, which has a headline regarding the kidnapping.

MAGUIRE:

Made the front page. They'll move now,

the f***ers.

FERGUS:

Request permission to take the hood off,

Tommy.

MAGUIRE:

Why would you do that?

FERGUS:

The poor whore's suffocating in the heat.

MAGUIRE:

So?

FERGUS:

And anyway, he's seen our faces.

MAGUIRE:

You sure?

FERGUS:

He described me down to a T. Knows what

Jude looks like.

Maguire reads the paper.

FERGUS:

Tommy --

10.

MAGUIRE:

You're his keeper. If you don't mind him

seeing you, I don't mind. But you're the

only one he looks at.

FERGUS:

Thanks.

MAGUIRE:

It's your decision.

INT. GREENHOUSE - DAY

Jude, drinking tea, looking at Jody sweating. Fergus enters.

He puts his arm casually around her.

FERGUS:

Leave us, Judie.

JUDE:

My pleasure.

She goes. Fergus walks to Jody and slowly takes the hood off.

Jody looks up at him, his face bathed in sweat. He breathes

in mighty gulps of air. He smiles.

JODY:

Thank you, soldier.

Fergus smiles.

JODY:

Never thought fresh air would taste this

good.

Fergus pours out a cup of tea and brings it to his lips.

JODY:

Now, if you took the ropes off, I'd be

able to feed myself.

FERGUS:

No f***ing way.

JODY:

Only joking.

Fergus drinks.

JODY:

You know, I was wrong about one thing.

11.

FERGUS:

What's that?

JODY:

Five ten. Brown eyes. But you're no

pinup.
