70. INTELLIGENCE AGENT I’ve got more important things to be doing. Bloody rebels for one. I haven’t got time for all these wild goose chases. She’s a child. EXT. WELLINGTON C.B.D. - INTERNAL SECURITY HEADQUARTERS A CCTV DOME monitors the building exterior. A couple of civilians walk past heading for an early morning shift. STREET LAMPS and TRAFFIC LIGHTS REFLECT on dark streets. EXT. INTERNAL SECURITY HEADQUARTERS - HELI-PAD The Intelligence Agent dismounts a two man VTOL AIRCRAFT, carrying a STEAMING cup of COFFEE. Two big horizontally mounted ROTARY TURBINES THUMP in the b.g. as the aircraft ascends. EXT. MOUNT VICTORIA (NIGHT) Urban centre. Skyscrapers. OFFICE LIGHTS. The motorway is swarming with cars. A POLICE HELICOPTER flies over the city. A KALEIDOSCOPE OF COLOURS scattered out below cuts through a veil of pollution. INT. SOLITARY CONFINEMENT - WELL DARK, but not pitch black. DRIPPING. Damp rock. Several days HAIR GROWTH shows on Beth’s scalp. Her new OVERALLS are wet through. A METAL BOX comes down from over Beth’s head. It is tied to thin BRAIDED CORDAGE. Beth looks up. There seems to be a distant LIGHT way above her. She sits on a ledge. Takes the METAL BOX and scrapes the WELL wall with it, makes a MARK. Below Beth is a massive pool of water. The cylindrical space she occupies is only four metres in diameter.
71. EXT. SOLITARY CONFINEMENT A Guard starts to pull up the BRAIDED CORDAGE. INT. SOLITARY CONFINEMENT - WELL Beth watches the METAL BOX disappear skyward. LIGHT FADES. In her hand, Beth holds a small portion of BREAD. She puts it in her mouth, savours the taste as it dissolves slowly in her mouth. She puts her hand up against the WELL wall, licks her hand of moisture. EXT. SOLITARY CONFINEMENT Thirty metres of BRAIDED CORDAGE is at the Guard’s feet. A guard stands over a SILO ROOF, a HATCH at its centre. INT. SOLITARY CONFINEMENT - WELL Beth rests against the WELL, closes her eyes. She shivers intensely, her arms folded against her chest. RATS SCREECH from below as they swim in stagnant water. Beth gags. Sewage. A finger rubs the MARKS she has made on the wall. Three sets of five marks. FADE OUT. EXT. BARRACK BLOCK (EVENING) Two Guards stand at the Barrack Block. The Guard Tower SEARCH LIGHT BEAMS out across the Courtyard. INT. BARRACK BLOCK Mabel lies under a motley BLANKET. She takes in Beth’s MARKS on the wall as the SEARCH LIGHT BEAM breaks through the window. EXT. SOLITARY CONFINEMENT The Guard on duty paces about his position.
