PREY
"After-Shock"
ACT FOUR
FADE IN:
39. INT. WALTER'S APARTMENT; LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
WALTER, ED, RAY and JOHN MAXWELL are present. Walter is pouring drinks.
JOHN MAXWELL
We've cleaned out the tunnels under the observatory; damn Domo's had a whole warren there.
ED
(melancholically)
Who watches the watchers, eh?
WALTER
(passing round the drinks)
The technology in those hidden surveillance cameras is quite amazing - I don't think I've seen anything so advanced at the NSA.
RAY
What else were the CIA hiding from us, I wonder...
JOHN MAXWELL
They're not the enemy, Ray.
(darkly)
It's about time I reminded them of that, too.
(looks at his watch)
I should go.
Maxwell opens his briefcase, and takes out a large manila envelope, which he hands to Walter.
JOHN MAXWELL (CONT.)
Here's a dossier on the other dominants who were being held at Oaxaca. I don't know how current the information is, but I'd ask that you all familiarize yourselves with these faces. They probably know you all by sight.
Walter opens the envelope, and takes out some photos and attached notes. Maxwell downs his bourbon, gathers the rest of his things, nods farewell to everybody, and exits. There's a long pause, while Walter sifts through the photos. He stops at one in particular.
WALTER
(uncomfortably)
We are going to have to take some extra security precautions, maybe even change locations. Our experiences over the past couple of weeks have exposed too many chinks in our armour.
Walter turns the photo round to show Ed and Ray. It is of Lewis.
FADE OUT.
FADE IN:
40. EXT. ROAD OUTSIDE OF WALTER'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
WALTER appears from out of his apartment block, looks apprehensive and taps a padded envelope in his hand. He walks briskly towards a mail box, some 200 feet away. SFX: tinny tune from Walter's cell phone. He looks around, sees no one, then answers the call.
WALTER
Is this line secure? We've been having difficulties...I understand.
(pause)
The comet is imminent. I trust you're all ready for it...very well. Give me a while to shake off any trackers - I'll be right there.
FADE OUT.
