2/29.                               GSN BUILDING.      DAY   / 2/29.

          INT.     ROOM.   PRESIDENTIAL BUILDING.    KITUMA.

          BECKETT sits in a room, in front of a screen and a
          TV camera; on the screen is AMANDA COURTNEY.    She
          has some minor injuries from the explosion; the
          odd cut, maybe a plaster or two, nothing much, but
          enough to be credible.

          AMANDA is in a room at the Kituma Presidential
          Building.

                               AMANDA
                      Hello, Nicky!   What a
                      surprise.    You never used
                      to ring me at work when we
                      were together ...

                               BECKETT
                      You're looking well, Amanda.


2/30.     INT.      VICE PRESIDENT'S OFFICE.   KITUMA.   DAY. 2/30.

          We CUT TO a black and white monitor which shows
          AMANDA from a HIGH ANGLE, from a hidden spy
          camera.    PULL BACK to show VICE PRESIDENT CHUKU
          watching and listening.

2/31.                                                           2/31.
          INTERCUT WITH
          INT.   ROOM.   PRESIDENTIAL BUILDING.        KITUMA.

          The conversation between AMANDA and BECKETT
          continues:

                              AMANDA
                    Spare me the charm act,
                    Nick, it's not exactly new
                    to me.

                              BECKETT
                    Sorry.

                              AMANDA
                    Don't start that again,
                    either.   Look - I lost two
                    friends this morning and it
                    looks like I'm going to be
                    stuck in the middle of a
                    civil war any moment.    Tell
                    me what you want - okay?

                               BECKETT
                    Believe it or not, I might
                    be able to help prevent that
                    civil war in Kituma ...

                               AMANDA
                    Really?

                               BECKETT
                    But to do it I'll need your
                    help.

          AMANDA raises a suspicious eyebrow.


2/32.     INT.   VICE PRESIDENT'S OFFICE.    KITUMA.            2/32.

          VICE PRESIDENT CHUKU is on the video-link to ZITO.

                               VICE PRESIDENT
                     You failed - the RX-44
                     Satellite is still being
                     deployed ... Okuda is about
                     to send the activation code
                     to get the satellite
                     on-line ...
