The car comes to a halt. The sound of the baby crying

continues. Ivan knocks the car out of gear and switches off

the engine. A silence around the sound of the baby crying.

Ivan listens and glances in the rear view mirror. Then he

puts his head on the steering wheel and the sound of the baby

crying continues.

He sits with his head on the steering wheel for a long time.

Then...

BETHAN (OOV) (CONT’D)

Ivan, will you come?

IVAN LOCKE:

Yes.

He cuts the call. He is alone in silence for a few moments.

Was the birth of a new life worth the destruction of his own?

Is there redemption in this moment? Ivan doesn’t have an

answer. After a moment he fires the engine.

20 EXT. MOTORWAY GANTRY 20

From a surveillance camera we see Ivan’s car indicate then

pull out into the traffic. After Ivan’s car has gone, we

watch the other cars on their own journeys, all of them with

their own stories inside their bubbles of light.
