INT. MAYOR’S CAR – NIGHT
Celeste slides the contents out of the manila envelope. It’s a hand-drawn map of L.A.’s west side.
CELESTE

ANGLE ON MAP
It’s a Metro map of the proposed downtown-to-Santa Monica subway route, featuring major thoroughfares and architectural markings. The train line is depicted with dashes along Wilshire Blvd. Around the intersection of La Brea and Jefferson, there’s a big “M.”
CELESTE
There’s only one Metro station?
NAPOLITANO
The “M” is for methane. Look at the report. The methane field under La Brea is deeper than we thought.
