Ghost Writer

Who is this Mike Harrison? I've heard of him. Yeah, he was some kind of a... aide to Lang when he was Prime Minister. It was a book that killed him. Well, that's encouraging. Hello? Who are you? I'm your ghost. Ready to start? Absolutely. Hello? [phone rings] [still ringing] [off hook buzz] (woman) Losing Mike was ? of course. It's not just that. (woman) You're not planning on taking that manuscript out of here, are you? You do realize how serious this is getting, don't you? Down near the beach, I met a man, and he said there was no way a body from the ferry could have washed ashore in that spot. (old man) No way! You think his death was suspicious? Don't you? No, I'm afraid you're mistaken. [alarm sirens] [old man yelling] (tv) Former Prime Minister Adam Lang is back in the news tonight You cheeky fuck. (phone) Who are you? I'm the new ghost writer. (phone) Don't use any names. Name me one decision that Lang made in 10 years as Prime Minister, which wasn't in the interest of the U.S.A. Do you have something to tell me?
