BOB (50's, running to fat) and EMILY (20's, slim, blonde) in bed together looking at their phones. BOB looks from his phone up to the ceiling.

ERIK (30's, skinny, long lank hair, hippie-like) is sitting smoking a joint, half naked.

BOB gets out of bed and dresses quickly, blows a kiss to EMILY and leaves the bedroom. We hear the door closing with a bit of a bang.

EMILY gets out of bed - she is fully clothed - and taps on the balcony window.

EMILY moves to the kitchen, we follow her there. We see a very neat kitchen, with new, modern appliances and kitchen utensils, probably unused.

She makes two cups of tea in matching mugs - both say "Worlds Greatest Dad". She stirs the tea.

ERIK appears suddenly in the kitchen behind EMILY.

We follow ERIK as he sits on the bed, looking childlike and innocent, but worried. EMILY gives him his tea and sits next to him on the bed.

ERIK is asleep in the passenger seat. EMILY is driving and holding her phone up, glancing at it every few seconds or so.

She looks at ERIK, then back on the road.

ERIK is awake now and swaying slightly, EMILY is holding him up as she rings the doorbell. The door opens and an arm grabs Erik in as EMILY ducks out of sight. The arm belongs to MARIA, ERIK's wife, easy going, dark haired, older but more with-it than ERIK, but loves him to bits.

BOB is pouring himself some cornflakes into a bowl as FIONA (BOB's wife, 50s, serious, questioning but forgiving and has fun when needs to, knows more about BOB than BOB does himself) comes in.

EMILY is sitting on her bed with her phone, looking at messages and reacting to each one to herself.

She puts the phone down on the bed and sighs.

EMILY and ADRIAN (40's, wealthy, well groomed, bit dim) sit at a table eating fine food with fine wine, tablecloths, napkins and everything. ADRIAN speaks in measured tones.

BOB and EMILY are in bed together as before, looking at their phones.

EMILY leaps off the bed and digs out paperwork from her bedroom drawers, and a pen from another drawer. There are at least ten sheets of paper, held together with a paperclip. She offers them to BOB while sitting back next to him on the bed.

BOB takes the proffered forms, the paperclip falls off and the papers go all over the bed. He picks them up, one by one, and skim-reads each one.

She ruffles through the pages and picks one out, handing it to BOB, who takes it and turns it the right way round.

She hands him the pen, then gets back off the bed again and picks up a book from a bookshelf, looks at the spine and reads the title.

She sits back on the bed next to to BOB and hands him the book, nodding at the sheet he has in his hand. BOB looks at the book.

EMILY takes the pen from BOB.

BOB does so and she hands him back the pen.

He reluctantly signs the sheet on the book in the two places.

She takes the sheet off him, gathers all the sheets up, fiddles around BOB for the paperclip and fastens the sheets with it. She gets off the bed, places the sheets back in the drawer and stands, staring at BOB.

ERIK and MARIA, sit on a park bench eating sandwiches from a tupperware box. There's a small duffel bag/holdall on the ground next to ERIK.

He reaches into the holdall and pulls out a packet of Doritos and waves them at MARIA.

They put the remains of the egg and ham sandwiches back into the tupperware container. ERIK puts it into the holdall. And they begin to share the crisps.

BOB is furiously hacking away at his laptop, various terminal windows open and javascript code on show.

FIONA pops her head round the door in her nightie.

BOB closes the laptop and follows FIONA to the bedroom.

They are in bed, BOB is snoring, FIONA is sitting upright looking at her phone.

She turns the phone off and goes to sleep.

EMILY and ADRIAN are having lunch in the same restaurant as before. The table is cleared apart from half full wine glasses and the empty bottle.

ADRIAN nods almost imperceptibly and a waiter appears. He whispers the order and they stay silent until two double espressos arrive. She sinks both one after the other and gives her head a wobble.

EMILY is pacing about on the phone.

BOB and EMILY in usual positions in bed looking at phones. EMILY gets out of bed and goes to drawer again and retrieves a single piece of paper, and a pen. She stands over BOB and hands it to him.

BOB takes it, reads it, signs it and hands it back to her. She returns it and the pen to the drawer and returns under the bedclothes.

PAUSE

There is suddenly a loud banging on the door to the flat.

More banging. EMILY jumps up out of bed and goes to the door, she peers through the spyglass. We see ADRIAN's face peering back.

She waves her phone at the spyglass.

EMILY opens the door, we see ADRIAN in a suit and two GOONS in suits, like good GOONS they are. Smiling. ADRIAN and the GOONS push past EMILY and look around the flat. We see BOB hurriedly getting his trousers on.

We see ERIK coming in to the room from the bedroom, looking sheepish. ADRIAN is now facing BOB, EMILY and ERIK, with the GOONS behind him.

He dismisses the GOONS who go outside the door.

BOB makes the tea, they sit round the kitchen table, BOB gives one of the World's Best Dad cups to ADRIAN and the other for himself.

He takes his phone out and waves it at EMILY.

They are in bed, sitting up talking.

ERIK and MARIA on the park bench, sharing sandwiches again.

We see SIMON SNOW, polo neck, thin, odd gestures, Andy Warhol hair, pacing the office while a typical plump gum-shoe PI - JIM - sits in a chair facing the big desk, turning his head to keep up with SIMON SNOW.

SIMON SNOW hands JIM a single sheet of paper and a pen.

JIM settles in his chair and reads the sheet, very slowly and with it quite close to his face, as if examining it for evidence. SIMON SNOW sits behind his desk and stares at the big Apple screen, moving the mouse around but not typing.

SIMON SNOW picks up the pen and walks round the desk and waves it at JIM.

SIMON SNOW waves it again and hands it to him. JIM puts the sheet on the desk and signs it.

ERIK, BOB, FIONA, EMILY, ADRIAN and MARIA are sat round a big table, eating. EMILY is sitting next to FIONA. We focus on them and their slight, but curious, discomfort.

Try a bit of improv - ALL round the table they are saying what they might do with an imaginary, fictitious million quid each.

JIM and ADRIAN are sitting opposite each other, JIM is greedily enjoying his big fry-up, ADRIAN is toying with a croissant, which he's not relishing eating. JIM finishes and looks up at ADRIAN.

A big TV is on with the sound off. EMILY and FIONA are in a deep, unheard discussion, giggling and occasionally glancing at BOB. ADRIAN paces in front of the TV holding the remote. JIM is sat in a large armchair slowly reading The Guardian. BOB is asleep on the sofa. MARIA and ERIK are playing cards at a side-table. The central table has remnants of a very fine evening indeed. There is a very loud knock on the door. ALL look up and at each other then at the door again as the knocking continues.

They all rush into the bedroom and JIM goes to the door and peers through the spyglass. We see SIMON SNOW peering back.

He moves away from the spyglass and we can see there's no-one there.

JIM slowly unlocks the door, and opens it in a way that private eye's open doors, looks outside and sees only SIMON SNOW.

SIMON SNOW is panting slightly and not looking in the best of health, even thinner if that were possible, and gaunt.

EVERYONE is sat round the table except SIMON SNOW who is standing up at the head of the table.

BOB goes to the bedroom and comes back with the laptop, plonks it on the table, opens it and starts typing.

All turn to BOB who looks up from his laptop.

BOB is still typing. All the rest have gone to bed in various parts of the room.

SIMON SNOW jumps up from the chair and goes to BOB, who's just shut the laptop.

BOB finds an empty chair, slumps into it and promptly falls asleep. SIMON SNOW opens the laptop and tries to start it. It won't even show the password page, just a black screen.

BOB is wide awake and starts very quietly to wake people up with a finger to his lips. SIMON SNOW is asleep on the sofa, some sleeping pills on the floor, one missing, he's fast asleep not dead. When they are all awake, BOB leads them all out of the hotel room, down the corridor and gathers them in the stairwell.

Giggles all round.

They all put their hands up reluctantly and then, less quietly, they go back to the room. SIMON SNOW is still asleep on the sofa.

All are sitting at a large table raising toasts the each other and generally having fun. SIMON SNOW stands up and clinks his glass, they all quieten down to to listen.

ALL cheer - The Collective!

Cheers and clinking of glasses, then quiet.

SIMON SNOW sits down with a smile and general hub-hub ensues.

We pan out and see, coming towards the table a man - MYSTERY COP - in a raincoat, obviously CID.

FADE SOUND -- We focus on MYSTERY COP while he is talking then, when sound is fully faded, an ECU of his face, as he smiles. Then we zoom out from him slowly and we see he is running, out of breath but running, looking behind and sideways.

Zoom out some more and we eventually see all of them running, with the MYSTERY COP right amongst them, all running away from a bunch of uniformed police officers. The MYSTERY COP obviously now very much part of THE COLLECTIVE.
