Dark River
EXT. REED BED AND BROAD
The last of a sunset falling across the broad. The air is still. SIBILLA is among the reeds, holding the grass snake, tenderly.
SIBILLA
(stroking the grass snake)
Watch the snake, and you miss the scorpion.
She wades into the water until it reaches her middle, and holds out the snake in front of her. Its body has been painted with slogans in a language we cannot read. She lets it go and the snake heads off across the water, swimming with its head out.
She wades back to the reeds and sits with the man in the boiler suit, COLIN. They watch the snake crossing the broad.
SIBILLA
They're not going to find this girl, are they?
