A long moment, then Edgar almost imperceptibly moves hishead, catches Sean’s gaze. Holds it. Whispers...

EDGAR:

The wall.

IN BERGIN’S DEN Michelle, reacting, c*cks her head. She’s gazing at the whiteboard, seeing it for what it is...a clue. She pulls out herCELLPHONE, lines up the white board. The shutter CLICKS

IN PRISON:

CLOSE on a SECURITY CAMERA lens.

Sean stares at it for a moment, then looks at a second camerafurther along the wall, both angled at he and Edgar Roy.

SEAN:

They may be watching us, but they’renot allowed to listen to us, Edgar.

Feel free to cut loose. Got all night.

No response. Sean pulls out a business card.

SEAN (CONT'D) When you feel like talking. I’m a goodlistener.

He puts the business card into Edgar Roy’s hand.

He picks up his briefcase, heads for the door. He pauses tolook back at Edgar Roy, framed for a moment in the doorway.

A beat then the PRISON GUARD closes the door with a heavyTHUMP IN BERGIN’S DEN Michelle snaps her head towards the window. A car door. Just enough time to frown as the sound registers, then BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! as the window explodes under a hail ofgunfire. Michelle dives for cover as rounds punch into thewall and the white board behind her.

She rolls onto her back, drawing her SIG in one smoothmovement, takes aim and fires - shooting out the light bulb, plunging the room into darkness.

She comes back up, returns fire through the shattered window, then scrambles for the door.

IN BERGIN’S HALLWAY She sprints down the hallway as more shots rip into the wallsand windows behind her. Without breaking stride, she scoopsup a seat cushion from the sofa and launches herself at awindow, using the cushion to shield herself from theshattering glass EXT. BERGIN’S HOUSE - CONTINUOUS Michelle crashes through the window, hits the ground, rollsclear of the sofa cushion and comes up in a crouched position -as a car engine roars into life.

She sprints towards the street in time to see a SEDANspeeding away. She unloads the rest of her clip, hits the release. The clip drops clear and she slams home areplacement.

The car speeds into the night.

Michelle releases a steady, calming breath, turns backtowards the house - and stops in her tracks as she sees aBODY slumped in the driveway.

She pulls out her flashlight, flicks it on to reveal the lifeless body of Hilary Cunningham.
