109.
GERRY tips it up. We see two HOUSE OF COMMONS staff passes,
one for each of them.
GERRY nods.
GERRY
Michael has the other boat?
YOUNG MAN
He’ll be waiting.
He squires COLLETTE firmly to the car, like a prisoner.
INT. IRA SAFE HOUSE - SOUTH ARMAGH - DAY
PADDY is still in the chair, half dead. MULGREW has a pair
of pliers in his hand. He yanks PADDY’s legs apart and cups
his testicles.
MULGREW.
We’re down to the wire here,
Paddy my friend. I’m tired,
you’re tired. We all want to go
home. So here’s how it goes; we
put your balls in this wrench and
if we don’t like the answers we
get, we twist. And we keep
twisting until they come right
off.
PADDY is crying in despair, anger and shame.
PADDY
(shaking his head)
When Gerry gets a hold of you...
MULGREW.
Gerry! Relax, my friend. Your
brother knows you’re here! He set
the trap! Turns out Gerry doesn’t
like filthy, dirty little touts
any more than the rest of us. So
let’s start again. How long have
you been working for the British
Secret Service?
PADDY
Fuck you, Mulgrew.
MULGREW twists the wrench.
PADDY (CONT’D)
Aaaaagh! Jesus!
MULGREW.
Once more; who did you tell about
the operation on Henderson?
