-you've got to go where the rivers are.

They hold each other a moment more, then break, then back into each
other's arms a final time, then-

CUT TO

THE TRAIN, and thick clouds of steam-

-Patterson runs into the clouds and disappears.

HOLD FOR A MOMENT.

KEEP HOLDING.

Patterson runs out of the steam and we

PULL BACK TO REVEAL

A DIFFERENT TRAIN, A DIFFERENT COUNTRY, A DIFFERENT WORLD.

This is the train to TSAVO and Patterson is alone on the engine seat- a
wooden bench in front of the engine used by railroad inspectors and
visiting VIPs. Behind it is a white circular piece of wood used to keep
the engine heat from the passengers.

CUT TO

NIGEL STARLING, running as best as he can alongside the train, trying to
pull himself up onto the engine seat.

STARLING is a terribly appealing young man. Clothes do not fit him well,
and he is constantly tugging at this sleeve or that shirttail, trying to
get things right. He wears glasses, tends nonetheless to squint at the
world. He is, above all, a good man, morally impeccable and very much a
product of these Victorian times.

STARLING
(as Patterson helps
him aboard)
Many thanks.
(squints)
You're Patterson, yes?
(Patterson nods)
 Nigel Starling- I'll be assisting you
at Tsavo- but surely Beaumont must
have told you that.

PATTERSON
