Ronald & Tony
The last lantern






Read the transcript
Yakov and the second boatwoman prepare the two broad working boats. The water has risen another step on the landing. Each boat carries a rope and blankets. No lifebuoys of modern manufacture or modern rescue equipment.
Yakov: We'll take both boats. Keep together until the corner.
First boat: Yakov rows, Ronald and Karen sit low, Tony stays beside Ronald. Second boat: the boatwoman rows, Harly and Anya sit low. The composition makes the two crews unambiguous. Nobody stands or jumps between the boats.
From Pavel's window, the two boats are seen approaching the exposed front of the row. Pavel points the lantern towards the right-hand corner again, then gestures firmly away from the ruined front staircase.
Karen, watching from the first boat, points towards the corner. Yakov changes course to follow the building's outer wall. A floating empty crate passes them, showing the street current.
Karen: Not the front. Around the corner.
Tony looks up at the window, rain dripping from his feathers.
Tony: I do hope he knows where he's sending us.
