Script: Cut Scenes: Mail Hold


INT. MAIL SORTING ROOM/ HOLD

Smith and Andrews come down the steps to the Mail Sorting Room and find the clerks scrambling to pull mail from the racks. They are furiously hauling wet sacks of mail up from the hold below.

Andrews climbs down the stairs to the hold, which is almost full. Sacks of mail float everywhere. The lights are still on below the surface, casting an eerie glow. The Renault is visible under the water, the brass glinting cheerfully. Andrews looks down as the water covers his shoe, and scrambles back up the stairs.
