1 EXT. MADRID. APOSTOL’S HOUSE. DAYEXT. MADRID. APOSTOL’S HOUSE. DAY.
1
A car pulls up at a large, palatial house in Madrid.
Apostol’s house. JOEL STEADMAN gets out.
He approaches the door. Rings.
Nothing. No answer.
STEADMAN leaps over a wall. Into a small courtyard. He can
see through modernist windows into the house, but no lights
are on, he can see nothing.
STEADMAN approaches a small door at the back.
It’s open.
He walks through.
3
INT. MADRID. APOSTOL’S HOUSE. DOWNSTAIRS. DAY. 3
He enters, walks through the kitchens at the back.
Into the main living area where the party once took place.
Empty.
Then he sees her.
The HOUSEKEEPER lying dead at the bottom of the stairs.
4
INT. MADRID. APOSTOL’S HOUSE. UPSTAIRS/BEDROOM. DAY. 4
STEADMAN takes out his gun, walks up the stairs.
Down the corridor.
To a room where the door is open.
It is a bedroom. Large, decadent.
STEADMAN gags.
On the bed is APOSTOL, naked astride his young mistress. But
both are dead.
His neck has been sliced, his blood has poured over the
sheets.
Her neck also sliced. Their dead eyes bore into each other.
Cigarette burns on his arms.
Cuts on his face. Signs of torture.
His face in pure burnt agony.
5 INT. PRIVATE JET. MID-FLIGHT. DAY. 5
PINE stares out the window of the private jet. Mountains
below, a clear day. ROPER opposite. FRISKY and TABBY in
front.
ROPER receives something on his tablet. Stares at it.
Preoccupied. PINE notices.
PINE:
What is The Haven?
ROPER:
Place in the mountains. A little
venture of mine. You were in the
army weren’t you?
PINE:
Yes. Iraq.
ROPER:
So you’ll be very much at home.
Beat. ROPER still stares at his tablet.
ROPER (CONT’D)
By the way. Next time no fisticuffs
unless I say so. There’ll be CCTV
pictures of you all over the
Istanbul press after that little
show at the hotel. I prefer my
operations to be quiet.
PINE:
The CCTV didn’t extend as far as
the rear. Twelve cameras out front,
three at the side but none at the
back. I checked.
ROPER:
Well aren’t you the top pupil.
He stares at him. Suspicion is suddenly in his eyes.
He pushes the tablet across to PINE. Pine looks.
It is a photograph of the papers that Pine stole from Roper’s
office. It has APOSTOL’s notes scribbled on it. PINE fakes
ignorance.
PINE:
What is it?
ROPER:
It’s an account summary of the
entire operation. A complete list
of the people who are cashflowing
the deal, and whose arses you so
successfully licked in that hotel.
Summary of expenses. Names of
consultants, profit margins, the
whole shooting match. And yet
somehow this found its way into the
hands of a British law enforcement
Beat. Dangerous.
ROPER (CONT’D)
Now here’s the problem. I happen to
know that only two people in the
world have this list in their
possession. Sandy Langbourne. And
me. So how did Angela Burr get it?
PINE stares.
PINE:
Would Langbourne betray you?
ROPER:
Anyone can betray anyone Jonathan.
You should know that.
PINE stares at the list.
PINE:
He looks at the handwriting.
ROPER:
Our Spanish lawyer friend. That’s
why he’s no longer with us.
PINE stares across. Beat. ROPER sits, stewing, troubled, the
trapped animal.
PINE:
You should call off the sale.
ROPER:
Oh they’d love that. Those
Whitehall suits in the foyer. I
don’t give up that easy. Just have
to plug the leak. Someone on the
inside. Langbourne. Or Corkoran. Or
one of the heavies. Or you.
