Hush! Page #2

---

This is the photo that l took

of the inside of that truck.

Now, give me your hand.

Just hold it still.

Look at that.

Yeah?

Well, it's proof. lt's a hand.

Someone was in the back of that truck.

- What, proof?

- Yeah.

What good is that now, Zakes?

That truck, it's miles away.

Zakes, you know, sitting here right now,

l've realised that the...

the only thing that is holding us together

is the time

we've spent together because...

we're not working.

l know that l'm partly responsible

for that, and l'm sorry, but...

where you're at now, it's...

it isn't good enough for me, Zakes.

l'm...

l'm sorry.

- l'll make my own way to Manchester.

- l can take you back.

l don't want you to, OK?

l r... l really...

l don't want that.

Beth. Beth, j...

l'll be waiting in the car!

Hi, Sarah, listen, it's me.

l know tonight's your party and all,

but, look, l need your help.

l've broken up with Zakes.

Can you pick me up

from Stanhope services on the M 1 ?

l-l don't have my phone on me,

but maybe l'll try you later.

(Phone beeps)

Let's see what the sniffer's

got to say.

Hello!

(Grunts)

- Whoa.

- (Dog barks)

What?

(Whistle)

(Man) When you've finished getting air,

go round the back.

Oh, sh*t.

(Ragged breathing)

Beth.

There she is.

Beth.

Oh. l'm sorry. Sorry.

Sorry.

Beth !

Beth, are you in here?

Look, l'm sorry, OK?

Beth. Beth.

- Aaargh !

- Sorry.

ls everything OK in here?

- Oi ! What's going on here?

- l was looking for my girlfriend.

- This might look like something else...

- He was spying on me! You pervert!

l'm looking for my girlfriend.

l can't find her.

Yeah. l get it.

Get back from the game all tanked up.

Your mates put you up to it? Very funny.

l'm the poster guy, right?

l put the posters up. Like this one, here.

l put the one of the car up, outside.

Here you are, look, here.

Get off! Argh !

- Don't move! l said don't move!

- For f***'s sake, l'm not. Jesus!

- Ronnie! Are you OK?

- Look, right, you've got it wrong.

l'm looking for my... Aaargh !

l'm looking for my girlfriend !

Jesus Christ!

Aaargh !

Argh ! F***, just take it easy!

You don't have to pull hard ! F***ing hell !

Argh, f***ing hell !

All right. Take it easy!

- Yeah, yeah. l've heard.

- Jesus!

Ugh ! Jesus!

What's your problem? l was looking for

my girlfriend. You should be helping me!

Prick.

Oh, God, no.

Sh*t!

(Engine stalls)

What the f***?

(Men cheer)

Mate, mate, stop!

Stop the car!

Sorry, love.

l've got to take your car!

(Whistles)

Woman driver

smacks into another car.

The driver gets out, and it's a dwarf.

So he says to the woman,

"l'm not happy."

So she says,

"Which f***ing one are you, then?"

(Laughs)

Oh, fair enough.

Well, l'm off.

What you doing?

He was telling the truth.

He's the poster guy.

He wasn't with the football guys.

See this?

This is a key to the big poster frames.

And look.

- He was with a woman.

- So what?

He said he couldn't find his girlfriend.

That she had disappeared.

That's why he was in the toilets -

looking for her.

Listen, l've seen this

a hundred times before.

Couples on long drives,

they fight, they argue.

l bet you any money

she's waiting at home for him right now.

But what if she's not?

Are you gonna look through all the tapes

for her? lt'll take all night.

- Then that's how long it'll take me.

- Why? Who cares?

lt's not our problem.

Our job is to protect this place, that's it.

What?

(Laughs)

l'm off home.

See you tomorrow.

(Zakes breathes heavily)

Got you.

(Engine clunks)

Oh, no.

No, come on. Come on !

Come on !

Oh, no. Don't do this to me.

Please.

(Security guard) Where are you?

OK, now. Where are you?

- l thought you was going home.

- (Ronnie) Yeah, so did l .

But l couldn't have you being here

all on your own.

- Found anything yet?

- Yes and no.

Look.

There she is at the car.

Then she goes inside,

has a coffee,

the poster guy comes,

she leaves,

then, look, look, look.

See?

She made a phone call.

But then she just disappears.

- Let's try zone B.

- l'll do it. What's the timecode?

Timecode 00:
1 7:04.

- No, l can't see her.

- lt doesn't make no sense.

She came down the corridor,

and there's nowhere else for her to go.

Ronnie, man. Look, you typed in

the wrong timecode. Come on, man.

She goes through the emergency doors

with someone.

Why doesn't the alarm go off?

Aaargh !

Yeah, it's me.

We have a problem.

That girl we took, her boyfriend's made

trouble. l think he may be following you.

Got you, you bastard.

Where is he?

Oh, no.

There he is.

Oh, sh*t.

(Police radio) 'Ford Granada,

licence plate lima, echo, charlie...'

Oh, Jesus.

Yeah ! Yes! Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Stop. Stop here!

Yes. Slow down,

slow down, slow down.

Yeah, l-l-l need you to help me.

l need you to help me. l need you

to get out the car, quick. Please.

Come on ! Come on.

My girlfriend's in the back

of one of these trucks.

- Just calm down.

- No, l am calm.

Just check out the back of

one of these trucks. My girlfriend's...

- Jesus Christ! What you doing?

- Gimme your hand.

- Have you got anything on you?

- l've got nothing on me!

You do not have to say anything.

Anything you do may be used

against you.

Yeah, yeah !

Right, listen to me.

Someone has taken my girlfriend.

You listen to me.

You calm the f*** down. OK?

- OK?

- OK.

- What's your name?

- lt's Zakes.

lt's Zakes Abbot.

Golf alpha 39,

l've got a 1 1 2 under arrest.

Suspect name is Zakes Abbot.

Linked to a stolen Granada.

(Woman over radio) 'Got a van

at the services. Can you meet them?'

Roger.

No. No, no, no, no.

Please don't drive me away.

Look, my girlfriend's gone missing.

Please. l just...

l just...

l just want you to find her.

Look, that's all.

l won't cause you any trouble,

l promise.

l t... l took the car

because l needed it.

My girlfriend, Beth,

she's been taken by someone in a truck,

and l think it's parked in here.

Look, l'm telling you the truth.

Oh, l remember... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Earlier, l called 999.

Yeah, about the same truck.

l saw a woman tied-up in the back.

l think the same truck took my girlfriend.

Look, please.

lt's parked in here.

All l need you to do

is just go out and have a look.

That's all.

F***ing hell.

l'm not going anywhere.

Please. Just look for a truck

with a broken taillight.

(Footsteps)

(Footsteps growing nearer)

(Dryer blows)

Argh !

(Woman over radio) 'Golf,

l'd roger her.

She is beautiful.

Anyway, so like l was saying...

Ow!

Oh, come on.
