He slides down a slope on a carpet of fallen leaves, tumbling to the
bottom and falls face forward into a running stream where he holds
his head and drinks. CAMERA MOVES ACROSS the terrain. There are no
pursuers, the forest is silent.
CLOSE UP - HANDCUFFS
The jaws of a wire-cutter clamp down severing the chain connecting
the cuffs around Cameron's wrists. He lifts his knee from the
cutter handle. His arms are now free. He wedges a chisel against
one bracelet and swings a sledgehammer against it. We hear his
sharp outcry.
ANGLE ON CAMERON
Doubled up, holding his wrist in pain. The bracelet is still
intact. He buttons his shirt cuffs over the metal bands and climbs
the slope to the bright sunlight on the road above.
Cameron is trudging along the old road winding down through the
mountainous pass. He crosses a bridge. Through the arches of its
low stone railing, he sees a BLACK RIVER twenty feet below rushing
toward the sea. Then, glancing back, he is suddenly alert.

21 CAMERON'S POV
In the far distance, almost lost in the shimmering heat waves from
the road, is a tiny speck moving toward him.
22
ANGLE ON CAMERON
He clambers down the embankment behind the railing, peering out from
this hidden vantage.
23
ANGLE ON ROAD:
The speck grows larger. The SOUND of the engine is faintly audible
now. Sunlight flashes from metal and glass. Cameron's apprehension
suddenly changes to wonderment, for the vehicle is not the police as
he had feared, but something else. Moving in the shimmering heat
wave is a splendid, high, humpbacked World War I vintage DUESENBERG
SEDAN with gleaming brass headlights, roaring towards him.
24
ANGLE ON CAMERON
He scrambles up the embankment to thumb a ride. The Duesenberg
roars past him, filling his eyes and mouth with dust. Suddenly
there is a screech of brakes.
25
ANGLE ON CAR:
The Duesenberg goes into a skid and then bounces to a stop.
Running, Cameron reaches the car, pulls the front door open and
climbs in beside the DRIVER.
26
INT. CAR
CAMERON:
Thanks. I thought you didn't see
me.
The driver, BURT, is a husky, red-haired man about Cameron's age and
deeply agitated. Pounding his fist against the steering wheel, he
talks half to Cameron, half to himself.
BURT:
Damn it. Screwed it up. Lost my
nerve.
Fishing a Vick's inhaler from his pocket and shoving it in his
nostril.

BURT (CONT'D)
Goddamn sinuses. Can't even see
straight.
Cameron looks at him, puzzled.
CAMERON:
You want me to drive?
