STEPHANIE:
It was about a week ago. I get in the car
to go to work, and it won’t start. Two
hours later, I’m at the dealership, and
the mechanic comes out with this look on
his face... He says the good news is my
battery’s dead. The bad news is he found 8
ounces of Primasheet 2000 under the hood-
WINSTON:
Plastic explosive.
STEPHANIE:
Had the car started...
WINSTON:
Lucky battery.
STEPHANIE:
Yeah. Listen, Mister...
She waits. Winston looks to Peale plaintively-
LT. PEALE
No names, Stephanie. Easier that way.
STEPHANIE:
Look, I don’t know why somebody would
want me dead. I’ve never gotten threats.
Don’t have enemies. I don’t know what
this is. That’s why I need your help.

WINSTON:
I’m sorry, but why exactly is this
something the police couldn’t handle?
LT. PEALE
Tell him what you do.
STEPHANIE:
I work for McNamara Engineering, I run
the design team for the Monterey Line.
WINSTON:
(beat; duly impressed--)
Is that a fact...
LT. PEALE
You’re looking at the lady responsible
for the most expensive public works
project in US history. Bullet train from
LA to San Francisco.
STEPHANIE:
With the train’s maiden voyage coming up,
you can understand why we’d like to keep
this information private.
JAMES:
The last thing McNamara needs is more
controversy surrounding the project. But
I’m not here speaking for the company.
And I’m not here because I’m her
supervisor and I can’t do my job without
her, though I am and I can’t. I’m here
because she’s my wife. And if you can
help to end this thing faster and safer
than the police can, then you’re the men
we want.
WINSTON:
(considers all this, before--)
Alright, what I’m going to do is refer
you to a private security firm that I
think quite highly of. They’ll work with
you to develop a security plan-
STEPHANIE:
I’m sorry, I thought your associate
provided the security.
WINSTON:
We aren’t taking new clients at the moment-

(2)STEPHANIE:
No, I was told you provide a unique
service. That you’re the people I need-
WINSTON:
I’m sorry. This is the best I can do.
STEPHANIE:
That’s not good enough-
CHANCE (O.S.)
Why me?
Everyone stops, sees Chance standing in a shadowed doorframe.
STEPHANIE:
Excuse me?
CHANCE:
Why not conventional private security?
STEPHANIE:
You can flush this person out, yes? Get
him to reveal himself, and take him out.
CHANCE:
That’s the idea.
STEPHANIE:
I don’t want to live my life in fear.
Whoever’s behind this, they shouldn’t
have that kind of power over me. I want
to end this. On my terms. Soon.
