(beat) Peter Bunting.

LARRY:

Bunting Industries. Specializes in real time intelligence analysis.

MICHELLE:

Edgar Roy.

LARRY:

(falters) Can’t talk to you about him. It’s classified.

MICHELLE:

You still in love with me, Larry?

LARRY:

Yeah. You?

MICHELLE:

No.

(beat) Sorry I have to do this... She holds up her phone, displaying a phone number.

LARRY:

You wouldn’t.

MICHELLE:

Having a gambling problem makes you vulnerable to blackmail. NSA doesn’t like their people being vulnerable to blackmail, does it, Larry.

Larry sighs, resigned to the moment.

LARRY:

Edgar Roy’s a freak. Bunting built a data center... dozens of satellite feeds, internet, military net, cable news, Al Jazeera, social networks, twitter... and Edgar Roy would calmly sit there in front of this - god-damn wall - absorbing and analyzing everything in real time. Satellite coordinates, tracking information, dates, times...you had to see it to believe it.

(beat) Then bam! - he gets caught buryingbodies in his barn. Bunting had spenthundreds of millions of dollars of public money and all he had to showfor it was a high tech data centerthat no one can access.

MICHELLE:

Why?

LARRY:

Every time he logged off, Edgar Roychanged the start-up sequence. Theycan power the system up, but theycan’t stream the data, let alonefigure out how to interpret it.

MICHELLE:

You think he killed those men?

LARRY:

I think anything’s possible.

(beat) We done?

MICHELLE:

Soon as you give me the address forthe data center.

LARRY:

Absolutely not.

Michelle toys with her phone.
