Joe’s eyes then go upwards... and he notices what he has

always known is there... but has never really thought about

before... CCTV moulds in the roof... his eyes go to one,

two, three, four of them...

17 INT. BAY SECURITY - DAY 2 13.30 17

Joe in a tech store - BAY SECURITY. It specialises in

security systems. Talking to the guy behind the counter.

JOE:

-we went on holiday, you know,

taxi to the airport... we’d not

even got on the plane and someone

was trying to break in the house.

Not even on the bloody plane...

Mister Security nods, couldn’t care less.

MISTER SECURITY:

People use home systems for all

sorts of reasons these days -

security; keep their eye on their

kids; document their sex lives...

He gives a cheeky laugh.

JOE:

What kind of money are we looking

at...

MISTER SECURITY:

How long’s a piece of string?

Joe eyes the various elaborate systems.

Mister Security gives Joe the once over, can see he isn’t a

man that wants all the whistles and bells...

MISTER SECURITY (CONT’D)

If you go for visuals only, two or

three rooms of the house, we can

link it to a laptop... you’re

looking at - two fifty

On Joe, not too bad.

JOE:

And... what does it look like? I

mean, presumably it’s discreet.

Mister security points to the SMOKE ALARM on the ceiling.

MISTER SECURITY:

Can you see a camera in there?

JOE:

(with a smile)

No.

MISTER SECURITY:

We can fit them in under an hour.

At a time of your convenience.

He smiles. On Joe, sudden pang of doubt.

JOE:

Tell you what, let me think about

it...

JOE:

Another bloody Superhero movie - it

makes the gym seem appealing.

Fair enough.

JOE (CONT’D)

I’ll meet you after - text me

And he waves goodbye as his family head towards the cinema on

a small family outing. He watches them go... he nods at the

neighbours, mother and daughter - the daughter, Hayley, 13,

has a really distinctive haircut...
