EXT. CANAL TOW PATH, BRIDGE - NIGHT 1 - 20:40 1/21 In the gas lit half-darkness we find Ada reaching some steps and trotting down them. The steps lead into more darkness and we might begin to wonder where the hell she is going. Moonlight shimmers on the canal, and the noise of Garrison Lane is distant. Ada arrives at a canal bridge and lights a cigarette. She looks all around. A moment later a figure emerges from the shadows. In Ada’s match light we see the man is Freddie Thorne. Ada smiles and goes to him. Freddie puts his arms around her and kisses her on the forehead. She offers him her cigarette and he takes a drag. ADA I got tickets for the Penny Crush. They’re showing a Tom Mix picture. Freddie smiles wearily as he smokes Ada’s cigarette. FREDDIE I’m not in the mood for the pictures tonight Ada. She takes the cigarette. She thinks she knows what Freddie is in the mood for. ADA I’m not doing it here again. I got covered in mud last time. Freddie smiles again, takes her arm. FREDDIE Let’s just walk a bit. Ada is reluctant, staying put. In the distance there is blinding light from a foundry and there are flashes of light on the horizon from other factories. ADA If we go down as far as Greet we could go to a pub. FREDDIE Your brothers have friends in Greet. They have friends everywhere. We’d have to walk to London... Ada pulls her arm free. ADA
I’m with you because you’re the only man around here not scared of them.
