REID
* *
Do you know him? The man Sergeant
Drake describes? THWAITES - entirely at a loss. Puts his head in his hands. Looks back up at the police now. His voice is weak -- THWAITES Were you here to talk about Maude? My wife? REID - on his feet, moving past a violin and music stand with sheet music open on it. Takes from beside it a framed photo, a very pretty woman in her late 20s -- REID Sir - you should prepare yourself. INT. THE STUDIO - DAY 2 1/51 A Roman chariot. Upon it - A WARRIOR, helmet, spear in her hand. Naked. A PHOTOGRAPHER takes her photograph. ROSE (O.S.) Boadiccea. Queen of the Britons. ROSE - leading JACKSON through this large, light warehouse space. The whole place hived off into perhaps ten different units. One of which encloses the WARRIOR. And next door - another YOUNG WOMAN. She’s sprawled in a chair with a three pronged hat, two pistols, her skirts raised for another PHOTOGRAPHER. ROSE (CONT’D) Highway-Woman. JACKSON nods appreciatively. Casts around - sees more girls and photographers in different units taking similar shots. Everywhere - dry plates, gelatin solutions, flash guns. Along the way - a PORNOGRAPHER operating a new printing press. Hundreds of those postcards being turned out from. He sees JACKSON. Stops. Suspicious, until -- ROSE (CONT’D) S’alright Perce. He’s with me. (cheek for JACKSON) Thinking of joining up, aren’t you? JACKSON gives her a smile for that. Turns back to the PORNOGRAPHER. Offers him a cigarette. Lights them both up. JACKSON Business good?
