4:
EXT. FREEWAY INTERSECTION. DUSK.

An instant of red as the cigarette shatters up the highway. A

heavy sky of red and black cloud. The Mercedes turns off head-

ing east. This time the Camera doesn't follow. Remains static

over the intersection until the tail lights finally disappear.

5:
INT. LIVING ROOM. HOUSE. DAWN.

Bare wooden boards and the sound of singing birds. This house

hasn't been lived in for years. No furniture other than a new

mattress in the middle of the floor. Still in polythene wraps.

BERLIN just about awake on top of it. Ten seconds of disorien-

tation while he puts this together. A stone fireplace. Stairs

leading to what's got to be a tiny room above. With enough ef-

fort this place could be charming. But right now it's a wreck.

6:
INT. KITCHEN. HOUSE. DAWN.

This kitchen was out of date by 1963. A huge china sink and a

fat fridge. But the cooker works and a battered old kettle is

already on the gas. T-shirt and instant coffee. BERLIN checks

cupboards out. Crockery includes a cup and that'll do for now.

His lips articulate a silent expletive. The gas has just gone

out. Tries to relight it without success. On hands & knees he

explores a rubber supply pipe that snakes under the back door.

7:
EXT. OPEN END GARAGE AND YARD. HOUSE. DAWN.

In the garage he finds the gas cylinder. Empty and so is the

bastard with it. He drags fingers through hair in frustration.

Looks around at the heaps of crap that need clearing out. The

view beyond he hardly cares to look at. But if he does it is

as follows. Clouds massing on the horizon. Fields getting re-

ady for rain. His nearest neighbor is around 200 yards away.

His nearest Cow about 50. This house is remote and rural look-

ing with a veranda out back. But BERLIN has no inclination for

sight-seeing. As he walks away a dreary female Voice seeps in.

8:
INT. LIVING ROOM/KITCHEN. HOUSE. DAWN.

The Voice comes via a police scanner. Most of this dialogue's

bullshit. Illegally parked autos and a few drunks still about.

BERLIN sits on the mattress eating a breakfast of chewing gum

and milk. He unwraps another Juicy Fruit and regrets it. Goes

round his mouth like a shoe in a washing machine. A reluctant

decision is taken. Spits gum at the sink as he arrives in the

kitchen. Starts unloading his leather bag. A flotsam of stuff

is excavated including a 9mm Beretta and a pack of cigarettes.
