CHIEF
(Offering PHIL, a plate of biscuits – They are both sat –
PHIL on the other side of the CHIEF’S desk – reading

awe)

PERP

I don’t know who he is.
GARY
(Laughing – obviously fake)
Interesting. Interesting. Because I think you do know who
he is, considering how he’s your boss. The leader of
Black Mamba? Ringing any bells?
PERP
(Pauses – furrowing his brow)
Isn’t that a snake?
GARY
Yes of course it’s a-
PERP
(Looks left and right then beckons GARY closer – They
both lean in)
Listen. I have never heard of Black Mamba, I don’t do
drugs and I have never, in my life, seen Roger Fiennes
before. Are we done?
GARY
(Looking defeated - sighing)
Yeah. I guess we are. You can go.

MEMBER OF BLACK MAMBA (O.S)

PHIL jumps. Another wide shot to show a man now sat next

hood.
PHIL
(Turning to look at him)
Well yeah, ya see
PHIL
(Hurriedly turning away - gulping)
S-sorry.
PHIL
(Looking confused, furrowed brow)
You’re gonna draw on my neck?

Oooohhhhh. So, when’s this going down?

(In an effort to sound convincing – still clearly
nervous)
So, y-you got the stuff?
GARY
(Looking confused)

Um, just wait. Got anyone else with you.
PHIL
(Again, trying to sound tough)
What’s it to you?
GARY
(Slowly)
Just,
(Pause)
So, just you. huh, I thought this was a massive
operation. Well I guess it’ll have to do.
BOTH

You are under arrest. You do not have to say anything.
