13 EXT. GARRISON PUB, GARRISON LANE - DAY 1 13

The debris is spread far and wide. Three police officers are

trying to keep kids away from the damaged structure. Then the

fleet of cars returning from the funeral turn into view. The

cars slow and then stop. Tommy and the others all climb out.

Most stare with disbelief at the destruction but Tommy heads

for the pub.

There is a police rope and we see Inspector MOSS hurry

toward the lead car to help Tommy duck under the rope.

14 EXT. BOMBED GARRISON PUB, GARRISON LANE - DAY 1 14

The pub is wrecked. Tommy walks toward the door with Moss by

his side. They stop outside the door which has been blocked

by rubble.

MOSS:

It happened at exactly seven am.

Tommy peers up at the damage.

MOSS (CONT’D)

Nobody saw anything. Our patrols

were not in the area.

Tommy finds the wheel of a pram in the doorway and studies

it...

MOSS (CONT’D)

Mr Shelby, do you have any idea who

might have done it?

Tommy looks up sharply. He reaches into his pocket and

produces a roll of notes. He hands one to Moss.

TOMMY:

I would say it was something to do

with the gas. It’s just been

fitted.

Moss almost immediately takes the money. We might sense that

Moss is ashamed of himself. When we last saw Moss he was a

deadly enemy of graft and bribery. Two years later he is

taking Tommy’s money (we don’t yet know why). He puts the

note into his pocket without a word. Aunt Polly arrives,

stepping over broken glass...

MOSS:

Madam, the structure is not yet

declared safe...

Aunt Polly totally ignores him (he is on the payroll now).

She walks to Tommy with her hand cupped.

AUNT POLLY:

This is all over the street.

Tommy glances at Aunt Polly’s hand.

AUNT POLLY (CONT’D)

Confetti.

Tommy takes a pinch of charred confetti. He turns to Moss.

TOMMY:

Thank you. We’ll be alright now.

Moss almost touches his cap then turns and heads toward his

car. Tommy and Aunt Polly are left alone. Beyond kids are

playing and laughing in the debris. Tommy considers the

confetti. He dusts his hands.

AUNT POLLY:

Tommy, what?

Tommy looks around...

TOMMY:

I think this was somebody’s way of

inviting us to a wedding.

Tommy sets off to leave...

AUNT POLLY:

Who?

Tommy continues to walk and Aunt Polly calls out.

AUNT POLLY (CONT’D)

Tommy, who did this to us?

Suddenly...

INT. PENTONVILLE PRISON, CORRIDOR - HALF LIT - DAY 1 15

As if in answer to the question, we are close on a pair of

immaculately polished black brogues. A man walking down the

corridor with barred light coming from on high. He walks with

the aid of a black cane with a silver wolf-head handle.
