MY DISCOVERY* this is the continuation, the first episode is here.EXT. THE ROAD - DAY They've stopped on the edge of the forest. She stays by the car biting her lips and sometimes glancing at the portrait in her palm. The driver's door slams. Henry comes to Emma and lightly touches her hand. HENRY: Sorry… I was wrong, Emma. EMMA (turning to him): I… I'm just tired… Our night walks and… (she pensively smiles glancing on the chip) …and this portrait - all I have actually. HENRY: Emma, believe me, I didn't know that this chip is so ancient. I wouldn't draw. EMMA (shaking her head): You would, Henry… I know you would. HENRY (snorting): O, damned rock! Why?! Why don't you believe me?! EMMA (looking aside): Because your feelings and your creativity are most important things in the world. Henry snatches the chip out of Emma's palm and throws it away to the forest. Emma stays motionless for some seconds. In a rage she cannot say a word. Tears start to her eyes. EMMA (crying): Savage! A real vandal! HENRY (confusing): Emma, please, forgive me. I love you and this damned rock cannot stay between us. If you wish, I'll draw a hundred of your portraits! Please, forgive… Emma pushes him aside. EMMA (sobbing, looking directly at Henry's face): You lie! You love only yourself! Emma turns and goes along the road towards the city. Henry follows her. His eyes are full of despair. HENRY (almost shouting): Emma, there are many chips like that on the shore! I'll show you the place! Please, don't go! Emma slackens her pace and then stops. Henry comes to her. HENRY (easing his breath): Yeah, I'll show it! I promise. But none of those chips is worth of a tear of yours… I love you, Emma. I'll do everything what you wish! Don't go! Please. Emma stares at Henry for a second. EMMA (almost whispering): Give me a hug… Henry embraces her. They're kissing. They are staying in some distance from the white Chevrolet pickup on the edge of a road. The pop melody, Henry whistled before, is sounding. FADE OUT TITLE OVER: "A YEAR LATER" FADE IN INT. THE HISTORICAL MUSEUM HALL - A DAY Emma dressed in her elegant grey suit heads to an exhibit - a broken ancient amphora with a hardly seen ornament. She stops nearby looking at the excursionists gathering around. EMMA (a pleasant narrative voice of a guide): This is an unusual exhibit for our museum - an ancient Egyptian amphora, 150 B.C. It has been found just recently, on the seashore in the distance of 20 miles from our city. How did it come to our northern country? We have no answer. The discovery is yet ahead… There is a hypothesis… (her voice is fading) that Egyptian ships… FADE OUT THE END.
