Shadowland

Room?

19.

Room?

I've got cash.

I'm sorry. I'm gonna need a room number.

What, because you're so busy?

Put it on 19.

Whatever.

Thank you.

It's a virgin.

No alcohol.

Yeah, I don't make a habit of smoking either while I'm...

It's just been one of those weeks, you know?

Not really.

I'm Sandy.

Kane.

Well, thank you.

So, you're a photographer?

By the road, you were taking pictures.

Oh yes I was.

But it's a hobby.

Where's your companion?

The guy who was driving?

Yeah, this was the only place around

and he wasn't going any further my way.

But you didn't get a room?

I just wanted a drink.

Truckers come through here at all times.

I'll catch a ride soon enough.

Where are you heading?

Back the way I came, it looks like.

I'm heading North at eight tomorrow morning.

There's a seat available if you want it.

Yeah, I might just have to take you up on that, Kane.

- It's the white... - Yeah, I saw it.

Cool car.

Your offer still stand?

It does.

No bags?

Just me.

So, where am I taking you?

Why don't you tell me where you're headed?

And I'll tell you how far you can take me.

I'm heading North to a facility near Yoland.

A facility?

A barracks.

You're military.

In a way. Yeah.

- Let me out. - What?

Let me out now.

Okay. Okay.

Sandy.

Sandy!

Sandy, there's nothing out here.

You said it yourself.

Are you gonna save me, Kane?

No, just tell me where you want to go

and I'll take you there.

I'm going back to the barracks.

What?

Yeah, I left yesterday morning.

I didn't think he should have it there.

But you're going back.

Kane, I went AWOL.

I'm a nurse at the facility

and I just walked out yesterday morning and hitched a ride.

It wasn't until I got down here that I realized.

Realized what?

Consequences.

Your absence won't have been noticed.

- No way. - And then I'll take you back.

You won't say anything?

Well, can you get back in unnoticed?

I guess so.

Then I'll drop you close

and then we'll go in separate.

And then when we meet up inside,

it'll be as if it was for the first time.

You really won't say anything?

On my honor.

Okay.

You shouldn't be so hard on army brats.

They don't all turn out bad.

You're looking at one.

Come on.

You'll be all right?

It's not far through the woods.

Good luck, Kane.

See you on the other side.

- - Get in there!

Oh, you lucky bustard.

To the victor, the spoils.

You're around then, eh?

Of course, bro.

Champion again.

How'd you get him into this game?

I always thought he'd be fuckin' dead by now,

or barracked on a ranch somewhere armed to the teeth.

No, he's a good lad.

They all are.

But like I said, easy money.

I look like I need money?

Look... it's the quiet life for me now.

I did my time.

Yes, you did.

I'm kicking back, Cam.

It's not Syria.

Bog standard detail, no action.

You'd actually be doing me a favor.

You know we need five bodies

for legitimate diamond formation.

You guys are legit enough without a diamond, Cam,

and we both know that.

So how long are you staying?

Bassett arrives tomorrow at one function.

Then back to the States after that.

Flying visit then?

It's the last leg.

It'll be good to get home for awhile.

He's hot shit stateside, huh?

Daniel's a good man.

We've had worst details.

Oh, yeah? And what's the family like?

Decent people.

You're not gonna drop this, are you?

Dave and Uncle Jack.

Oh.

- Not without me, you don't. - Okay.

To Nemo.

all: To Nemo.

You got a newbie?

Yep. With us a couple of weeks.

Truly a team player.

Hey, you need to get ahold of that shit, Mickey.

We've got work tomorrow.

Come on. Have I let you down?

And over the years that I've known you,

have I ever let you down once?

Name one.

Just don't start now, okay?

I'll join you tomorrow for old time's sake.

So how far is it to the Minnestrose estate?

About an hour, private function, no crowds,

no speeches to worry about, just our principles.

Something on your mind, Mick?

So when are you gonna speak to Daniel about Dylan?

There ambassador has enough on his plate to worry about.

We'll be back in the States soon enough.

- - Jesus Christ, Mickie,

you of all people know what rules are made for.

But most don't anticipate the consequences

before it's too late.

But I'm not most people.

Come on. It's time.

Maybe not,

but the rest of us are.

Oh, truly you have both leapfrogged the middle classes

and landed fully in the realm of aristocracy.

What are you both doing out here?

The ambassador asked for some time with his family.

Briefing them on the party, I imagine.

There'll be representatives of all of the major parties

and the first minister, she'll wanna speak to you of course, so...

- Sir. - How long, Cam?

10 minutes, ambassador.

Just enough time for a drink.

People are here to protect you and your family.

Now I appreciate that you have sensitive issues to discuss

but it's better that you speak with me

rather than dismiss my staff, with all due respect.

I was briefing my family on the guest list for tonight,

not national secrets.

Look, we need to make sure we speak to the right people.

I feel safe, Cam.

Hey.

In her room.

I have a little present for you.

Oh, it's beautiful.

I thought it was about time you had a new one.

Here.

I thought for a second, it might be a ring.

Well, that would not be very romantic, would it?

And besides, I would have to speak

to your father first.

He knows, you know.

He hasn't said anything.

He makes his living in politics, Cam.

He knows how to keep things to himself.

All done. Beautiful.

You should talk to him.

He likes you and respects you.

You've done nothing wrong.

I will.

The cars are ready.
