And I’m guessing this night of passion was too far from London for our man to be in two places at the same time?

PETER LASCELLES

Far enough, I imagine.

BILL SERAFINI

And I’m likewise guessing you never had probable cause to compel him to supply DNA or prints?

PETER LASCELLES

Again, you might very well think so.

(pause)

You planning on doing any sightseeing while you’re over here, Bill?

BILL SERAFINI

Well—

PETER LASCELLES

There are some great places to visit. And not too far from London. Far enough, though, if you catch my drift. Like Salisbury, for example.

BILL SERAFINI

(frowns a moment then realization dawns)

Oh, you mean that place where those two Russkies tried to off that defector – Sergei something?

PETER LASCELLES

Skripal. And then claimed they were only there to ‘look at the cathedral’. Yeah, right, as my grandchildren would say.

BILL SERAFINI

I’m still not sure why—

PETER LASCELLES

There’s a nice little B&B I would definitely recommend you try. The woman who owns it – I met her, oh, it must be very nearly twenty years ago now.

BILL SERAFINI

(slowly)

Right.

I get you.

Sounds like it’s definitely worth my time.

PETER LASCELLES

I’m sure you won’t regret it.

(smiling)
