EXT. OUTSIDE TATE MODERN - CONTINUOUS. DAY 1. 124 * We’re behind a woman. A young woman, in an expensive dress, * walking in a slow-mo daze. * The woman walks out into a deserted South Bank and looks * around. It’s Princess Susannah. She seems drugged or sedated. There is absolutely no-one around. She staggers, falling to her knees. And getting up. INT. WORKSHOP - CONTINUOUS. DAY 1. 125 * On a small TV we see the PM’s sweating, tear-streaked face... and pan across, behind the canvas, which we still don’t see, to find a body close to the lens, apparently twisting as though suspended. It’s in paint-spattered overalls. One of the hands has a severed, bandaged stump in place of a finger. In the background we can see a laptop. * 126 The faces have turned more solemn. Some look almost bored, flat or sad. The place has thinned out a bit -- not a lot, but a bit. INT. NASH ARMS PUB - DAY 1 INT. HOSPITAL CASUALTY AREA - DAY 1 127 * Even PIKE is looking morose. BRIAN glances at his watch and back at the screen. BRIAN Jesus, poor bastard. Lauren lifts a remote -- goes to switch the TV off. PIKE * stops her. LAUREN * It’s been over an hour. PIKE It’s history, this. 128 Establisher -- the light has changed -- looks like quite some time has passed. EXT. NASH ARMS PUB - EVENING 1 INT. NASH ARMS PUB - EVENING 1 129 The pub has thinned out. The TV’s still on but everyone watching it looks sad and drained. Haunted, almost.
