STECKLER:

I will...

29 INT NIGHT CARTERS ROOM - CARTER sits in a pool of light examining her

contract with STECKLER

CARTER:

(Resignedly) Locks huh!

She wipes her brow in frustration - it sure is hot

30 INT NIGHT LIVING ROOM - STECKLER sits in front of the TV set laughing

out loud. He is watching a crass gameshow, and wearing headphones.

The door swings open and MIK enters wearing a light cocktail dress -

she looks stunning.

STECKLER doesn't see her as she walks behind him to retrieve her

earings from a shelf. She puts the first in,

MIK:

Is it any good?

STECKLER doesn't answer - he's oblivious to her. MIK frowns to herself

and puts the other earing in - but she drops it to the floor. Slowly

she bends down to pick it up - STECKLER'S eyes shift to observe her...

As she bends down she turns on the spot, her body is captivating. As

she picks up her earing, for the very briefest moment, STECKLER is

shown just a few square inches of pale flesh at the top of her white

stockings...

She stands back and exits the room, STECKLER'S eyes shifting once more.

31 INT NIGHT HALLWAY - MIK stands at the foot of the stairs and calls out

MIK:

ELLEN! I'm going now - I'll stay at

DEKLAN'S tonight, I'll see you tomorrow

CARTER calls OK from upstairs

MIK turns and leaves... After a pause, CARTER walks down the stairs and

pauses for a second - she is very sweaty. She moves toward the LIVING

ROOM:

(CONTINUED)

31 CONTINUED:

CARTER:

LESLIE - Are you hot?

32 INT NIGHT LIVING ROOM - She enters the LIVING ROOM to find STECKLER -

but he isn't there. The TV is still on, the headphones on the floor -

but NO STECKLER...

She passes it off and moves over to the wall - she toys with the

thermostat before touching the radiator... There is a sizzling sound as

she retracts her hand...

33 INT NIGHT KITCHEN - CARTER grabs a torch from a drawer and flicks it on

before exiting the back door.

34 EXT NIGHT BOILER HOUSE - A small stone boiler house sits outside the

door. CARTER looks round,

CARTER:

LESLIE - are you out here?

No-one answers and CARTER ventures out into the rainy night. She

hurries to the BOILER HOUSE. She opens the door and is hit by a wave of

heat - the boiler roars away...

She steps into the dark shed, illuminating it with the torch. She

stands it on end pointing it up...

She takes a hold of one of the levers, but it's hot. She takes of her

jacket to reveal her vest. She warps the jacket around the handle and

pulls hard, but nothing happens. She pulls again...Nothing

There is a movement behind - someone in the shadows...

CARTER wrestles with the lever, but still no joy...

Suddenly STECKLER appears by her side - reaching out for the lever - a

wrench in his hand...
