PULLED OPEN. COLIN ENTERSCOLIN: Of all the places in all the world and you had to end up here …..
JACK: (Relieved) Col! It's so good to see you. Did you bring a lawyer with you?
COLIN: Yeah I got ya a lawyer
JACK: Where is he?
COLIN: You're looking at him
JACK: YOU!? A fat lot of good you'll be. You don't know the first thing about law
COLIN: There's appreciation for you. I know more than you think. I took a wild module in my first year at Uni in International law
JACK: (Sarcastic) Well isn't that swell! Twelve weeks of solid training is the requirement these days eh?
COLIN: Look Jack, be grateful Olivia sent anyone to bail your ass out of this one. The company don't have the spare cash to spend on swanky lawyers (need an American slang term for lawyers). (Stalling) Besides, If Olivia had sent anyone else in the first place, if she had sent…
JACK: (Annoyed) Go on say it! If Olivia had sent you none of this mess would have happened. Isn't that what your tryin trying to say Colin? (Angry) So go on just spit it out
COLIN: I don't wanna fight you Jack. I'm for you, not against you. But I need to know the truth. Did you kill him?
JACK: (Surprised) No, of course I didn't kill him! Me - A murderer?
COLIN: Alright, calm down. So what really happened?
JACK: (Beaten) What's the point? I don't stand a chance
COLIN: I am your only chance
JACK: I was framed
COLIN: By whom?
JACK: I dunno. Could be Maggie - she lied to the police to save herself
COLIN: Whose Maggie?
JACK: Steinburg's wife
COLIN: Do you think she killed him?
JACK: Impossible. She spent the entire night with me
COLIN: She what? Colin you gotta be kidding me? I was only joking about you and his wife. You didn't have to take it literally
JACK: Steinburg sent me to her trailer - She seduced me
COLIN: Margaret DuBois seduced you?
JACK: You haven't met her. She's something else
COLIN: And?
JACK: I left at 6.00 in the morning. No one saw, only the janitor but for a split second.
COLIN: What has the detective told you?
JACK: That the investigation is over - they've charged me
COLIN: Well maybe I should have a little investigation of my own
JACK: Col, please don't let them…
COLIN: I'll do my best Jack

BUSY MARKET SOUNDS.
COLIN'S FOOTSTEPSCOLIN: (Monologue -Internal) Why that detective has a nerve! If he thinks for one minute that I'm gonna let that…
WOMAN ONE: A painting monseiur the eiffel tower. Buy this pretty picture for your wife monseiur (IN FRENCH)
COLIN: (Walking away) No Thanks, er No Merci Madamoiselle
(Internal) I'm alone and I like it that way. Pulling my trench coat tight
against the bitter wind and I find myself revelling in the solitude. Man has never really
drunk deep of his loneliness till he's tasted the bitter-sweet tang of a
city after dark.
FX: MAN BUMPS INTO COLINMAN ONE: Pardon Monseiur
COLIN: (Reaction to contact with man) It struck me. Something strange - like out of an old movie. A chill up the spine - (Paranoid) Why is everyone staring at me?

I need to speak to the janitor - find out exactly what he saw. And the broad - I don't trust her as far as I could throw her!
