AREA FOUR: PAGE 9

• INT. AREA FOUR HEADQUARTERS - RUTZ’S OFFICE
  
• Rutz stands in front of his desk, Soames nearby, just being an authority figure. Swerve slumps in a chair. Exhibiting his usual contempt for such figures.
  
• SWERVE
  
• You want me to what?
  
• RUTZ
  
• We want you to keep an eye on the kid.
  
• SWERVE
  
• Because why?
  
• Swerve sits up, not entirely easily.
  
• SUPERINTENDANT SOAMES
  
• He is - admittedly - young.
  
• SWERVE
  
• You want to admit to anything else about bumping him up to a shield?
  
• SUPERINTENDANT SOAMES
  
• I have faith in the kid.
  
• Swerve gets to his feet.
  
• SWERVE
  
• Apparently not.
  
• RUTZ
  
• Swerve--
  
• SUPERINTENDANT SOAMES
  
• Thing about faith is it doesn’t exist without the possibility of being wrong.
  
• SWERVE
  
• That’s as close as I’m ever going to get to hearing you say you were, are or will be wrong about something isn’t it?
  
• SUPERINTENDANT SOAMES
  
• And it never happened.
