the MIDWIFE (Female, 30, Blonde Hair, 5ft 3ins. Business Suit under fur coat with russian

MIDWIFE
(Eastern European Accent)
Hello gentlemen, shall we cut to the chase? Do you have the money?
BRYAN
(New York Jewish American Accent)
You got the goods?
One of the bodyguards hands a briefcase to the MIDWIFE. MATTHEW exchanges a bag for
the briefcase. The MIDWIFE passes the bag to a bodyguard to check the money is there.
MATTHEW and BRYAN check the briefcase. In the briefcase is a packet and a phone.
Matthew
(New York American Accent)
what's the phone for?
MIDWIFE
The picture on the phone will mean something to your supplier. It conceals a second picture
within it that has the formula and other information for the drug. Don't lose it!

Good doing business with you.
The MIDWIFE gets in the boat with her bodyguards and they disappear into the distance.
