The Debt Page #5

Rachel doesn’t, of course, react to this sight. Instead

she begins to clear away some pieces of BROKEN GLASS BOWL

from the floor. We TRACK with her as she walks back down

the short hallway into the kitchen, drops the pieces of

bowl into the bin. From the living room comes the three

distinct PINGS of rainwater dripping in the pots.

She stops suddenly, puzzled. It’s a moment before she works

out what she’s noticed - something has changed in the sound

of the rainwater next door.

There are only two drips instead of three.

She walks back towards the living room...

RACHEL’S P.O.V - through the living room door we can see

that one of the pots has been overturned. Rachel slows to a

stop. A sudden wave of adrenalin causes her to turn

but...it’s too late. Vogel steps out of the alcove he’s

been standing in so that he is directly in front of her.

Before she can even cry out he has slashed her face open

with a SHARD OF GLASS.

Instinctively she cups her hands to her ripped face. Vogel

grabs her by the hair and stepping behind her, tries to

worm his other hand underneath her raised arms to reach her

throat with the glass.

Her training kicking in, Rachel uses a krav magah move to

grab and twist Vogel’s forearm, breaking his hold on her

and turning the arm until, with a yell of pain, Vogel drops

the shard. He swings wildly at her, but Rachel ducks the

fist and drives the palm of her hand up into his face.

Vogel stumbles back, surprised by her speed and the sudden

pain of the blow.

Rachel is about to press home the attack but is blinded by

blood from her wound washing into her eyes.

As she wipes her eyes clear, Vogel grabs a LAMP from a

small chest of drawers in the hall and smashes it into her

face. She falls.

Vogel begins to run, but, driven by adrenaline and

desperation, Rachel scrambles onto all fours and lunges at

him, catching hold of his trouser leg as he moves towards

the front door.

Vogel stumbles, manages to pull a leg free and stamps down

on Rachel who lets go with a moan. He stamps again, steps

free and kicks her hard in the head.

Rachel rolls with the force of the kick and comes to a

rest, losing consciousness.

RACHEL’S P.O.V - LOW ANGLE - Fluttering in and out of

darkness - Vogel’s feet as he stands beside us, breathing

hard. Then he turns and hurries to the front door...and

out.
