48. Getting up, Beth reaches over the other prisoners, stone in hand, and scratches a MARK into the wall. Five. As the SEARCH LIGHT BEAM crosses the window it becomes clear Beth has started marking the days since she arrived. BOOM... BOOM... BOOM. The DECK GUN fires off in the distance. Beth jumps. She sees the FLASH as the emplacement lights up the sky. INT. UTILITY SHED The three TRAILERS are parked up. A number of prisoners are sorting items. Stop! CAMP COMMANDANT All the prisoners immediately stop what they’re doing, drop anything in hand, frozen faced. Terrified. In front of one kneeling prisoner is Beth’s FLUTE. The Commandant steps forward. He points to the FLUTE. There is an Escort standing behind him. CAMP COMMANDANT Where is the case for that? The prisoner is extremely weak. His hands are skeletal, his face sunken. He is so afraid he wets himself. The Escort kicks the prisoner hard, sending him to the ground. Enough. CAMP COMMANDANT The Commandant picks up the FLUTE. Examines it closely. INT.

49. MABEL It must be a Sunday. FEMALE PRISONER Ah, the Christian virtues. Bruce gets down off his bunk. Stands up, steps towards Beth. She’s got nowhere to go. He coughs violently. Beth willingly hands over her BOWL as Bruce approaches. Bruce sits down next to Nevil, sips. Takes in several mouthfuls. Crunch, crunch. Bruce’s face transforms, he spits out the soup, which sprays several fellow prisoners. Fine GRAVEL GRIT is amongst the liquid. Furious, Bruce gets up, and punches Beth with full force. Beth falls back, a few moments later rising up. BETH Next time I’ll leave something far worse in there. BRUCE And never eat? Next time, I’ll kill you in your fucking sleep. INT. CAMP COMMANDANT’S OFFICE (EVENING) The Camp Commandant picks up the FLUTE. He examines it thoughtfully, puts it back down. Getting up, he goes to his FILING CABINET and flicks through it, retrieving a FILE. Sitting back down, the Commandant eyes the file’s cover, labelled ‘ELIZABETH FLETCHER’. Then he raises a DOCUMENT off his desk. INSERT - DOCUMENT The DOCUMENT has a government LETTERHEAD, and is titled ‘SECRET - CIVIL IDENTIFICATION DISCREPENCIES’.
