This scene

48INT./EXT. CAR – CONTINUOUS

The Protagonist watches from across the road as the Young Woman SPOTS her son. She offers him her hand, but he reaches up to take his NANNY’S. She moves her hand to pick something off his jumper before he is put into the back of a BLACK RANGE ROVER with tinted windows.

The Protagonist watches the Young Woman wave at the departing car carrying her child. Utterly alone.
