Noise

Synopsis: In long flashbacks, David Owen looks back to when he lived in Manhattan with his wife and baby. The unnecessary noises of the city interrupt his life to the point that he takes a baseball bat to the windshield of cars whose alarms are blaring. After a few arrests, his wife kicks him out. On his own, he learns to avoid arrest and leaves a calling card as "The Rectifier" when he breaks into an offending car. Gruska, an enterprising young reporter, tracks him down. He tells her his story, they become lovers, and she organizes a petition drive for a ballot initiative to ban car alarms. The mayor becomes the Rectifier's bête noire. Can David fight City Hall and win?

And for the next three or

These will take the
edge off the pain.
As for the ringing, that
should be gone by tomorrow.
The ringing's
a regular thing.
How do you mean?
Sorry?
What do you mean,
regular?
Like ongoing.
- Before tonight?
- Yep.
How long before?
About 18 months,
on and off.
Same with
the dizzy spells?
Yeah well,
there's been dizziness,
But the blackouts
are new.
Lavinia.
I'm detective Melanie Ryan.
Yeah, but I get to call
you Mel, don't I?
'Cause you're the nice one they
get to talk to people after they...
When they realize
that someone's not even...
I mean, hey, I'm in
a McDonald's uniform.
Don't.
You know, everyone here already
knows how brave you've been.
Hey, don't, hon.
Come on.

- So?
So it's okay if you
want to have a cry.
I want my other stuff.
Okay. Okay, good.
Let's do that.
What's your
other stuff?
Well, there's a pink bag
with headphones in it...
Okay.
... And there's a picture
of me that I got from work.
- it's in a frame.
- Okay, look,
What I'll do is
You just stay here and I'll see if
someone can't fetch them for you, okay?
- Where are you?
- 30 seconds away. Just hold on.
- Get out of the f*cking way,
you idiot.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah, you've got the media
all over you like a wet rash.
I know. Hamish is onto it.
- back!
- come on!
You've got some stringers
up on the overpass.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
F*ck knows what sort of
footage they're getting.
The underpass
is logjammed.
If you don't need paras
inside the cordon,
They shouldn't be
inside your cordon.
You just have the uniform
inside the cordon, okay?
- yep.
- All right, just a second.
Guys, please.
This is supposed to be a thoroughfare.
Can you keep the area clear, please?
- You there?
- yeah, I'm traveling to you.
- How's the kid?
- Still a bit wobbly.
- I need a description.
- Yeah well, once she's compos mentis.
No, ASAFP.
Listen, she's got some
belongings still in the carriage.
- I think it'd be a good idea...
- of course.
I need an hour before I
can even think about it.
I know we're corrupting your scene.
I haven't even looked
at the scene
And you're talking about removing
items from it... seriously.
