Freeman looks down to study an aerial photograph.
FREEMAN; Right, .......send it in.

Straker sits at his desk. He straightens as the door slides open and Alec Freeman enters.
Straker; You look tired. Have a drink.
Freeman; No thanks
FREEMAN holds out an envelope
FREEMAN; I.... want you to accept this.
Straker, sensing something is wrong, takes the envelope but doesn’t open it. He guesses its contents. FREEMAN’S resignation.
STRAKER; We’ve worked together for a long time, Alec.
FREEMAN; Maybe too long.
STRAKER; Fine. I want your desk cleared in fifteen minutes. Hand your pass into security and leave the keys for the firm’s car with Miss Ealand.
Straker flicks a switch on his desk. The office door slides open.
STRAKER; (nonchalantly, bored) Well? What are you waiting for? And you can collect your P45 from the gatehouse on your way out.
