63. RYAN (O.S.) Who is alive? COLLETTE The kid! Declan...I thought you’d killed him. I thought he was dead! RYAN (O.S.) Calm down, <strong>Shadow</strong> <strong>Dancer</strong>. COLLETTE He saw me! When we were in the safe house, I went upstairs to make that call...to tell you I was in. He heard me. RYAN (O.S.) Are you sure? COLLETTE Yes! If I wasn’t Paddy’s sister, he’d have blabbed right there. You have to finish him! You have to get to the hospital before Mulgrew. RYAN (O.S.) We’ll deal with it. COLLETTE cuts the connection. Her head slumps against the glass. EXT. STREET - SECONDS LATER. She leaves the telephone box and gets only four or five paces before she notices KEVIN MULGREW leaning against a wall. He has been watching her. MULGREW. What about you’se Collette? Kevin. COLLETTE MULGREW. We need to talk. COLLETTE I have to get back for the kids. MULGREW. The kids can wait... He gestures towards a nearby car.
64. INT. CAR - A FEW MINUTES LATER. MULGREW is driving. MULGREW. You got a problem with your phone, Collette? No. COLLETTE MULGREW. You usually take a walk into the night? COLLETTE (trying hard to smile) I live with my mother, Kevin. I don’t want her to hear everything I’ve got to say. He smiles back. It’s enough to make a girl’s stomach turn. IRA. SAFE HOUSE - MINUTES LATER. MULGREW and COLLETTE sit either side of a formica table. A kettle is boiling. The place is a dump. MULGREW. You want coffee? COLLETTE No thanks. He stands, makes one for himself. He’s in no hurry. He sips the coffee, lights a cigarette. MULGREW waits. MULGREW. Paddy’s okay. COLLETTE (sighs) Thank God. Sits down, leans forward. MULGREW. When did you first hear about the operation, Collette? A beat. Is it a trap?
