SCENE ONE

 
FITZCAIRN - A woman, I take it? [Fitzcairn sees his face, reads the look there.] Say no more. Cherchez la femme and all that, right?

SCENE ELEVEN

INT. LE CORDON BLEU – KITCHEN – DAY

[On Fitzcairn as he sneaks up behind Naomi, who is hard at work amidst the copper pots, industrial stoves, butcher blocks, etc. She is whipping heavy cream for a multi-layered gateau before her. He puts a hand around her waist and the other into the bowl, swiping a finger full of frosting, and tastes it.]

NAOMI - Is it sweet enough?

FITZCAIRN - You tell me.

[He turns her to him and they kiss with passion. She pulls away.

NAOMI - I think I have to taste it again to be sure.

[She reaches into the bowl and withdraws a finger full of frosting and puts it in his mouth. They kiss again.]

MacLEOD - So you read.

FITZCAIRN - Of course. [beat] I just didn't see it in the heat of the moment.

SCENE TWENTY-ONE

INT. LE CORDON BLEU – ADMINISTRATION OFFICE – NIGHT

[Fitzcairn closes the door behind him gently. Fitzcairn's POV -- THE COMPUTER DESK -- the machine is on, the glowing monitor silhouetting a figure sitting in front of it: it looks like Patrick.

FITZCAIRN - Patrick.

[No answer. Fitzcairn moves closer, until he sees the screen: his falsified records are still displayed there. CLOSE -- Computer monitor with the name HUGH FITZCAIRN highlighted. RESUME Fitzcairn.]

FITZCAIRN - It doesn't have to come to this. I can explain how it happened.

[He puts a hand to touch the figure's shoulder. The chair swivels around to reveal Patrick, slumping loosely back, face pale in the screen's light -- he is dead.]

FITZCAIRN - God, no...

[He feels Patrick's neck for a pulse -- nothing, the man's gone. Fitzcairn straightens up, looks at the body, his heart sinking -- he's in deep shit.]

[He sits up with a start, finding himself alive. He remembers everything -- feels his body quickly.]

MacLEOD - [sarcastic] They don't pay us to be stupid, either. [disgusted] There's more to take from life than what a sword can bring.
