EXT. THE NEW CORTLANDT HOMES, DAY

The project is almost complete but workmen are still on site working the snag list and adding finishing touches.

Ann walks up to one of the workmen.

ANN

Is Mr. Keating here?

WORKMAN

Hey Mike, the boss here?

MIKE

On the roof.

Ann starts to head off but the workman stops her.

WORKMAN

The elevator’s working now.

ANN

Really?

He brings her over and calls the lift. Ann looks around delighted at how it’s coming together.

MIKE

Hey, who is it?

The elevator opens and Ann steps in and presses the button.

WORKMAN

The wife.

ANN

I’m not his wife. I’m Ann Kirby.

WORKMAN

Sorry, the girlfriend.

ANN

No, I’m one of the[]

The doors close.

ANN

architects...

Ann looks a little disappointed - but just for moment. As she feels the elevator rise into the sky she can’t help smiling.

EXT. "JUNGLE" GARDEN ROOFTOP, DAY

Ann exits the elevator.

Peter, who is chatting with Gail, waves over to her.

She walks over to them.

Dominique has been looking out at the view. She turns around to join them.

INT. PRISON, HOWARD’S CELL, DAY

Roark is laying on the bed thinking. The image of his old mentor, HENRY CAMERON saying THEN MAY GOD BLESS YOU, HOWARD. YOU’RE ON YOUR WAY INTO HELL is running through is mind.

A guard opens the door.

GUARD

You’ve a visitor.

Int. Prison, Vistor Meeting Area

Howard is brought to a table where a man in a suit is sitting.

VISITOR

Howard Roark, sit down.

Howard sits down.

VISITOR

I see here you’re 18 months into a fifteen year sentence, is that correct?

HOWARD

Yes.

VISITOR

How are you finding prison life?

Howard doesn’t respond though the visitor gives him ample time to.

VISITOR

You’re not easily shaken are you?

HOWARD

No.

VISITOR

Any idea who I am?

HOWARD

No.

VISITOR

I’m the man who can get you out of prison.

Howard just looks at him.

VISITOR

We could use someone who isn’t easily shaken and can read building plans... It’s dangerous. And if you give us a moments trouble, it’s the last thing you’ll do. If you succeed you won’t get any medals or praise ... but you will earn your freedom. What do you say?

Howard looks away for a moment before responding.

HOWARD

When do I start?

Howard’s face breaks out in a smile and they shake hands.

EXT. PARTY AT CORTLANDT HOMES, NIGHT

There is a party with all the residents, dignitaries, etc., and Edee is singing YOU’D BETTER GO NOW.

EDEE

You’d better go now
Because I like you much, too much
You have a way with you
You’d better go now
Because I like you very much
The night was gay with you
There’s the moon above
And it gives my heart a lot of swing
In your eyes there’s love
And the way I feel it must be spring
I want you so now
You have the lips I love to touch
You’d better go now, you’d better go
Because I like you much, too much
There’s the moon above
And it gives my heart a lot of swing
In your eyes there’s love
And the way I feel it must be spring
I want you so now
You have the lips I love to touch
You’d better go now
You’d better go
Because I like you much, too much
You’d better go
Because I like you much, too much.

THE END
