I, Anna Page #4

---

- I had my eyes open.

- I'm sorry.

Never mind.

Sleeping isn't really my for tie.

What were you thinking,

with your eyes open?

- If you'd call.

- I did.

Yesterday. I didn't want

to leave a message.

- I mean, it could have been a fake number...

- Women can never be too careful.

I was going to call again a bit later,

but it was just too late.

Yes, six in the morning

is much more appropriate.

- When should I pick you up, then?

- Tonight?

- What if I'm busy...

- Are you?

Fine, then I pick you up at eight o'clock.

- Is that real?

- Does it matter?

- Where's the guv?

- Without trace and tail, but say nothing.

- What is it?

- We have Adam Taylor.

- He robbed a wine shop on Sunday.

- He was desperate.

So what,

you want to keep it for yourself?

Leave a message after the beep.

Guv? We got Adam Taylor.

Hello, Emmy, it's me.

I just wanted to say that he called.

We're having dinner tonight.

Don't wait up.

See you later... Well, tomorrow morning.

Bye!

Come on, Bernie, answer the phone!

- Oh! But you said eight o'clock?

- I can come back.

No, it's fine. But let me slip into

something less comfortable.

Oops, wait a minute...

- They said the water should not be too cold.

- They are beautiful.

- I have to change.

- Sure.

How did you find me?

- The phone directory.

- You should be a detective.

- Actually... I am.

- Really?

Detective Chief Inspector, to be precise.

Though I do shuffle more paperwork

these days than I do sluthing.

Oh, I can see it.

The sluthing, not the shuffling.

I am amazed that it's not this cluttered

with toys and stuff.

- I remember my own chaos.

- I do what I can in the living room.

But Emmy's bedroom is a different story.

- You've got some messages.

- They're all for Emmy. I never get any calls.

Not even from strange men

at six o'clock in the morning?

Well, I make a point of answering those.

Simon put out a few crime stories.

They didn't do very well.

But then neither did the other stuff.

- You would be good though.

- Because I've seen it close up?

- It wouldn't have worked out.

- Why not?

Because I'm a bit of a fraud.

I'm not the cop that people think I am.

Behind the worried eyes

lurks your obsession with truth.

Everyone, including my wife,

thinks I'm married to this job.

That I'm driven by the zeal for justice...

But for me, it's always just been a job.

I became a provider.

- You got promoted.

- I am diligent.

So what is your calling?

A man's greatest failure is

not knowing his calling.

I was told that a woman's greatest failure

is no to want children.

First date rule:
Keep it light.

Oh, I was the one who started.

I thought we were happy, just the two of us.
