395 EXT.
SEAMAN’S BAR NEAR DOCKS – NIGHT 395
SEAGRAM (V.O.)
(he’s had a few)
If I felt the way Sandecker does
I never would have started the
project in the first place . . .
396 INT.
BAR – EXTREME CLOSEUP – SEAGRAM 396
SEAGRAM
I mean if it’s all some kind of
a lousy game, who needs it?
We PULL BACK and INCLUDE PITT. They’re in a corner booth with a JUKEBOX PLAYING and
pinball machines.
SEAGRAM
(continuing)
You know something? I’m glad we
didn’t find the stuff. I never thought
I’d say it, but I’m just as glad we
struck out.
PITT
No, you’re not.
SEAGRAM
The heck I’m not. I mean it.
397 SINGLE
ON PITT 397
He still has the postcard we saw before.
PITT
(shakes his head)
It’s not that easy. I won’t
let you wiggle off the hook
like that.
398 ANOTHER
ANGLE 398
He slides the postcard across the table to Seagram. Seagram looks at it.
SEAGRAM
It’s an English postcard. I
saw it already.
PITT
That’s right. We all saw it.
Brewster bought it someplace,
stuck it in his pocket, and
never mailed it.
SEAGRAM
So what?
PITT
So read the fine print on the
back. The ink is smudged. It’s
hard to make out.
SEAGRAM
(he turns it over and reads)
‘A typical country church and
graveyard
in
near the village of . . . Southby . . .’
399 INSERT 399
We SEE the card as he turns it over. A country church and graveyard. Sepia print.
SEAGRAM (O.S.)
Southby . . .
PITT (O.S.)
That’s right. Southby. We
guessed wrong. It’s not a man.
It’s a place. Twenty kilometers
from
399A TWO
SHOT – SEAGRAM AND PITT 399A
They react.
