LINDSAY:

Start her up, follow me when

loaded, leave the car radio on

Channel 1 but personal radios backto-

back on 2.

BUTLER:

Who’s in the house?

LINDSAY:

I don’t know. Now move. Please.

They go to the unmarked car on the drive.

Lindsay runs to her car and starts the engine. She picks up

her personal radio and dials it to Channel 2.

At the same time, Butler starts the engine of the car on the

drive. A second later Akers hurries out of the house, not

even shutting the front door behind, accompanied by a figure

with a blanket over his head.

Lindsay watches, shocked and daunted.

Akers pushes the blanketed figure onto the back seat and gets

in beside him.

AKERS:

Go, go!

Lindsay accelerates out of the cul-de-sac. The other car

follows quickly.

CUT TO:

113 INT. LINDSAY’S VEHICLE. MOMENTS LATER.

The vehicle winds along back roads. A sat-nav system sits on

the dashboard.

In the mirrors, Lindsay glances at Akers’ vehicle following

behind.

She keeps going fast, peering ahead at a deserted, unlit

country road.

CUT TO:

114 EXT. CROWN AVENUE JUNCTION. MOMENTS LATER.

Lindsay’s car and Akers’ approach a junction; the road goes

straight ahead or there’s a sharp left turn. Lindsay

indicates to turn left.

CUT TO:

115 INT. AKERS’ VEHICLE. CONTINUOUS.

Akers sits in the back with the blanketed figure. Wallis and

Butler, in the front, see Lindsay indicate.

BUTLER:

What’s she playing at?

Wallis keys his personal radio.

WALLIS:

(Into personal radio.)

Wallis to Denton -- straight on

here, ma’am.

CUT TO:

116 INT. LINDSAY’S VEHICLE. CONTINUOUS.

Lindsay answers.

I know the way to my own station.

CUT TO:

117 INT. AKERS’ VEHICLE. CONTINUOUS.

Wallis and Butler exchange puzzled looks.

Ahead, Lindsay takes the left turn. They follow.

CUT TO:

118 INT. LINDSAY’S VEHICLE. CONTINUOUS.

Lindsay looks in her rear-view mirror. She sees Akers’ car

follow her round the corner.

Suddenly bright lights glare through her windscreen. She’s

dazzled by headlights on full beam approaching rapidly.

CUT TO:

119 EXT. LONG LANE. CONTINUOUS.

A vehicle with a daunting front-grill modification speeds

towards them in the opposite direction.

CUT TO:

120 INT./EXT. LINDSAY’S VEHICLE/LONG LANE. CONTINUOUS.

Lights glaring through the windscreen, the ambush vehicle

speeds towards a head-on collision.
