That was Ted alright. He mention

anything about ‘new information’?

MEGAN:

No. I’m sorry...

How was he yesterday?

HILARY:

A pain in the butt. Said he was

trying to ‘decipher something’.

He wouldn’t tell me. But I could tell

it was important to him.

Not until last year...

MEGAN:

You’re wasting your time.

Sean and Michelle both shoot her a look.

MEGAN (CONT’D)

He’s on 24-hour suicide watch. No

visitors.

SEAN:

I’ll figure something out.

MEGAN:

Even if they do let you in, it won’tmake any difference.

(beat)

Edgar Roy hasn’t uttered a single wordto anyone, including Mister Bergin,

since he was arrested six weeks ago.

Sean and Michelle exchange a look as they realize whatthey’re up against.

EXT. CORRECTIONAL FACILITY - NIGHT

An ugly concrete building wrapped in razor wire and bristlingwith cameras. A sedan slows to a stop at the main gate. APRISON GUARD steps out to the car. Sean lowers the window.

SEAN:

I’m here to see an inmate.

PRISON GUARD:

His name?

SEAN:

Edgar Roy.

PRISON GUARD:

And who are you?

SEAN:

His lawyer.

INT. WARDEN’S OFFICE - NIGHT

Sean sits opposite the WARDEN, CARLA DUKES, 40s. A bruiser in astarched shirt. Her name carved in wood and embossed in gold onthe nameplate on her desk. She’s referring to a file.

SEAN:

A personal greeting from the Warden.

That must make me or my client veryspecial. My money’s on Edgar.

DUKES:

I heard his lawyer was dead. You don’tlook dead. Honest truth, you don’teven look like a lawyer.

SEAN:

I’m flattered. On both counts.

And you don’t look like a prisonwarden, either.

(beat)

Much.

Dukes holds his gaze, as tough as the men she incarcerates.

SEAN (CONT’D)

Ex-military?

DUKES:

Marine Corp. You serve your country,

Mister King?

SEAN:

Eleven years.

Dukes tries to hide her surprise - she hadn’t picked it.

SEAN (CONT’D)

For the Commander-in-Chief.

(off her frown)

Secret Service.

She’s just been one-upped.

DUKES:

And now you’re a lawyer.

SEAN:

Edgar Roy’s lawyer. Retained by TedBergin to work on the defense team.

(hands her his Bar Association ID)

With the death of Mister Bergin, Ineed to seek instruction from EdgarRoy as to how to proceed.

Dukes doesn’t like lawyers. Or former Secret Service agents.

SEAN (CONT'D)

Ma’am, if you deny him access to legalcounsel, you may be held in contemptby the State Attorney General.
