The Guard stands to one side as prisoners line up in the<br />
courtyard.<br />
EXT. COURTYARD<br />
Beth struggles to find a place in the ranks. She looks<br />
about, finds Mabel but she doesn’t react to her, just<br />
stands still, stares straight ahead.<br />
Beth grips her FLUTE case with all her might. She realises<br />
Nevil is at her other side.<br />
Beth forces herself to look forward, keeps her head still.<br />
BETH<br />
(whisper)<br />
My flute. I should have left<br />
it behind. They’ll take it<br />
off me.<br />
A Scathing Guard approaches between the ranks. He eyes<br />
Beth with disdain.<br />

strike to her midsection. Falls in absolute agony.<br />
The Guard smiles at Beth.<br />
The Scathing Guard then proceeds to give Nevil the same<br />
treatment.<br />
Beth tries to help Mabel as she gets to her feet. She gets<br />
pushed away, a look of venom for her troubles.<br />
A GUARD SERGEANT walks out in front of the assembly.<br />

petrified.<br />

her compliance.<br />
