22. She says you should stay for dinner. INT. FAMILY APARTMENT - KITCHEN The Woman has a DUFFEL BAG on the bench. She goes into her bedroom, returns with a case, opens it to show Beth a brass FLUTE. Beth picks up the FLUTE. She plays a little, then puts it back in the case, closes it. The Woman puts it in the bag. BETH Something my mother played to my father. Before I was born. The Woman SIGNS. Her husband translates. MAN My wife says she remembers seeing you play at a few festivals. Beth smiles in complete surprise. The Woman SIGNS again. MAN (CONT’D) I wouldn’t know, music was never my thing. MAN Sorry about your parents. Beth looks to the Woman. Solemn. BETH My foster parents. Thanks. EXT. FAMILY APARTMENT - ALLEYWAY FIRE ESCAPE (EVENING) A shadowy figure makes its way down a rusted FIRE ESCAPE. SQUEAKS in the darkness. Beth has the canvas DUFFEL BAG over her shoulder as she crouches behind a WHEELIE BIN, which lies tipped over, ROTTEN FOOD everywhere. A damp-furred RAT scurries out from behind a torn RUBBISH BAG. There is movement amongst the refuse.
23. EXT. MOUNT VICTORIA - C.B.D. (NIGHT) NEON SIGNS in Asian languages. Towering buildings reach for the heavens. Several CONSTRUCTION CRANES work away into the night. THUNDER CRACKS across the sky. Beth looks up, disheartened. A SIGN on a fenced off section tells her it’s dangerous to enter without the right safety gear. The building behind the FENCE is due for demolition. There is a MURMUR. Beth strains her eyes. Spots an old HOMELESS WOMAN in an alcove, under a piece of East Asian THREADBARE CARPET. She has a BOTTLE in her hand. HOMELESS WOMAN (drunk) Come here boy. I won’t bite... Got something to... eat, in that bag? Beth sprints away. Puffing, she rests behind a stacked pile of BRICKS. A workman’s HELMET, with earmuffs lies on the ground. There is a massive split in it. It starts to RAIN. INT. MOUNT VICTORIA - B.M.W. 2019 EXECUTIVE MODEL A businessman drives. Two others are passengers. Politicians. A fourth man is the BODYGUARD. The lavish vehicle pulls up. EXT. MOUNT VICTORIA - GREAT WALL RESTAURANT (RAINING) Beth gazes upon massive RED ARCHES at the building’s entrance. She watches patrons eat with CHOPSTICKS. INT. MOUNT VICTORIA - GREAT WALL RESTAURANT
