Screen 1
ONE:
New angle of the street outside the Artifice Club. We’re looking past the SAME CARRIAGE we saw at the end of Chapter Nine. JEPPESON CALLOW sits at the wheel/reins, staring doggedly ahead.
Past him, in BG, we can see FARROW and STONE speaking to each other. STONE is still atop the FENCE.
NO COPY.
TWO:
Stet, but FARROW is now coming towards us/the Carriage, as STONE hops off the FENCE, heading back the way she came.
NO COPY.
THREE:
FARROW at the CARRIAGE DOOR, rapping it with his knuckles as he watches the street.
1. FARROW: Payne.
FOUR:
Stet, but the window in the door has dropped, revealing PAYNE.
2. PAYNE: Farrow.
3. FARROW: Pegasus is at anchor opposite Old Hull.
Day 15
Screen 2
ONE:
At the CARRIAGE DOOR. The window has slid down, and PAYNE is visible. FARROW is at the door, speaking to him. Neither is looking at the other.
1. FARROW: Sabre will surely send the crew ashore on leave before sundown.
2. PAYNE: …it’s Lady herself and her friends from Tanitin who must be dealt
with.
TWO:
FARROW speaking to PAYNE. Neither is looking at the other, both watching the street.
3. PAYNE: She’ll keep the map with her until it’s in the hands of the Rose.
4. FARROW: She won’t be summoned to Court until tomorrow.
5. PAYNE: Then we must acquire it tonight…
THREE:
FARROW and PAYNE looking at one another. They’re on the same page.
6. PAYNE: …whatever it takes, Ethan.
7. FARROW: And how mean you to first find, then separate her from our prize?
FOUR:
Angle, PAYNE speaking to FARROW as he thumps the roof of the carriage.
8. PAYNE: Where there’s smoke, Ethan…
FIVE:
FARROW watching, as the CARRIAGE pulls away.
9. PAYNE: …well, you know the rest.
I look forward to seeing Payne dressed as a Nonconformist clergyman.
HAH! No, not Payne’s style, but that was good. The Holmesian in me approves 😉
GREAT closing.
Damn it! I’m ready for more!
