21 EXT. GRAND PLACE - LATER 2 21

TONY approaches a young couple, holding up the photo of the

boy. They indulge him for a while but they can tell he’s

half cut and quickly makes their excuses and they walk away.

MUSIC ENDS.

22 EXT. BOURG’S FLAT - LATER 2 (PRESENT DAY) 22

TONY walks past a supermarket. In the reflection of the

window he sees a large block of flats. He looks at it for a

moment, an odd expression on his face - it’s the place we’ll

later come to know as Bourg’s apartment block. Then he spots

a family not far away. He’s about to approach them, but

instead, someone taps him on the shoulder.

VOICE:

Monsieur Hughes?

Tony turns, surprised, to see a woman in her thirties,

dressed in a smart suit. This is LAURENCE.

TONY:

Laurence. How are you?

LAURENCE:

I am well.

(concerned)

Are you?

TONY:

Good, good. It’s been a while. Last

time I saw you was...

LAURENCE:

Tony, we have had some calls about

you.

TONY:

Look...

LAURENCE:

Complaints. You are bothering

people. You understand - we have to

address these things. And you being

here, it’s not...

TONY:

Right. You’re doing your job.

LAURENCE:

Yes. So...

Pause.

TONY:

So what?

LAURENCE:

Will you stop this?

TONY:

I’m not causing any trouble...

He pauses. Off Laurence’s look

TONY (CONT’D)

Okay. Okay. I’ll stop.

LAURENCE:

Thank you.

Tony turns to go, then stops when she speaks

LAURENCE (CONT’D)

Show me this picture.

Tony shows her. And finally we see the photo -

It’s the Grand Place. Taken during Bastille Day

celebrations. The place is busy. Gaudy decorations, groups

of tourists, a gaggle of young Japanese girls and boys

posing doing victory signs. But Tony’s not pointing at them.

He’s pointing at a young Asian boy, to the right edge of the

picture, wearing a yellow scarf. Laurence looks at it for a

while, then hands it back.

LAURENCE (CONT’D)

No. I’m sorry. You should go home

Tony.

TONY:

I will.

Laurence smiles sympathetically and walks away. When she’s

gone Tony pulls out the photo and walks back towards the

family, a look of determination on his face. Laurence

watches, a sad look in her eyes.

23 EXT. JULIEN’S COTTAGE. COUNTRYSIDE - DAY 2(PRESENT DAY) 23

A rural and picturesque landscape. In the middle sits a

cottage. The lights are on inside. Outside we see a figure

under a shelter. They are wearing a beekeepers outfit.

We go closer in and through the smock we see that it’s

JULIEN. It will take a little time to notice, but in the

present day Julien walks with a pronounced limp.
