Prints it all off. Begins to read. MADSEN “MAY NEVER WAKE” FROM ARREST COMA. She smiles. Sips coffee. The sun coming up. EXT. BAR, STREETS - DAY 4 - 07.41 61 61 Reed and Luther step out, wincing in the DAYLIGHT. Luther straightens his tie. He’s been in these clothes since we met him. He looks like he’s been awake since Christmas. REED Where you going? LUTHER
You ever get a song stuck in your head? It goes round and round? REED T’Pau. China in Your Hand . Deep strangeness, that song. High weirdness. LUTHER So I keep thinking. She’s a narcissist She needs constant recognition, needs to exaggerate accomplishments. How does somebody like that keep secret the best, the most perfect thing she ever did? REED You don’t need to be thinking about Alice Morgan right now. LUTHER Why? What do you suggest I think about. Henry Madsen? My wife? REED I dunno. Normal stuff. Breakfast. LUTHER Thing is, the way Alice sees it, the world is full of people who’ve offended her, embarrassed her, let her down - and those people deserve to be punished. She got away with it once. She’s already eyeing her next victim. And she won’t stop until somebody stops her. REED So be patient. Build a case. LUTHER There is no case! She didn’t leave one. She didn’t leave anything.
