             Wilson: Anna!

                                CLOSE UP ANNA

                ANNA is hiding, her face lit by a pinpoint of street-light.
             Wilson: (Voice Over) Anna!

                ANNA looks in his direction. Ambiguity. Is she about
                to answer? Then WILSON calls not her name but her
                controversial title.

             Wilson: (Voice Over) Duchess!
                ANNA closes her eyes. Nothing will ever change.

             Wilson: Duchess!

                ANNA opens her eyes crying; then she turns off into the
                dawn shadows.

                CAMERA shoots down on WILSON. The BOOMSHOT
                grows higher and higher as WILSON shrinks on screen
                into a puzzle of wet cobblestones gray with the coming
                Easter dawn.
