(CONTINUED)

165 CONTINUED:

STECKLER:

I had a look while you were asleep

(Pause !) I think that I am going to

have to have two root canals done...

He raises his hand, the drill whirring into terrifying life!!!

CARTER has to think fast...She smiles as best she can and opens her

legs as much as the straps will allow...

CARTER:

Don't you want me now LESLIE

STECKLER:

No - I'll have you after

STECKLER steps forward - CARTER violently writhing and trying to get

free - she manages another finger...

STECKLER produces another strap which he uses to hold down her head...

STECKLER leans forward, bringing the drill up close...

STECKLER:

Open wide...

But CARTER won't open her mouth. STECKLER doesn't bother, he rams the

drill into her lips... CARTER screams out in pain as STECKLER inserts

the drill into her mouth. Blood spurts as she violently battles to get

free...

STECKLER withdraws... He begins to change the drill bit - to a

miniature rotary saw blade...

STECKLER:

This one is used for cutting through

tooth and bone...

He turns, the blade whirring. CARTER manages to get her arm free and

punches STECKLER in the bullet wound. He screams out, recoiling and

dropping his whirring drill. It lands on CARTER and dances around like

a man snake... CARTER grabs it and cuts her other arm free - then her

legs.

But STECKLER is soon back, grabbing her around the throat - CARTER

topples him over and he lands on the chair - the whirring drill between

them.

CARTER is stronger and the tip of the blade begins to cut into

STECKLER'S nose, a fine spray of crimson spattering STECKLER'S face.

(CONTINUED)

165 CONTINUED (2):

STECKLER manages an enormous push, throwing CARTER to the floor, dazing

her...

He turns round and reaches behind the chair. He produces a large axe,

brandishing it maniacally -

STECKLER:

I always wanted to do it this way...

He raises the AXE high above CARTER. The house begins to rumble as a

jet climbs overhead. For a moment, STECKLER is distracted.

CARTER spots the spade which STECKLER had buried his victims in the

garden with. She leaps for it, grabbing it and swinging it.

STECKLER'S eyes widen...

The spade impacts with STECKLER'S head - his head separates from his

body, spinning through infinity...

166 INT DAY LIVING ROOM - CARTER has bandaged herself up and fashioned a

makeshift splint for her leg.

She is bricking up the hole in her LIVING ROOM wall - STECKLER'S corpse

is dumped unceremoniously in it...

She pushes the last brick into place...

The doorbell rings...

167 INT/EXT DAY HALLWAY - CARTER opens the front door after covering

herself and her leg with a bathrobe.

Her eyes widen - It is MIK dressed in black with dark glasses - She

holds out a bunch of flowers...

MIK:

These are for LESLIE...

CARTER seems a little faint...

168 INT DAY LIVING ROOM - CARTER is lowered into a chair by MIK - CARTER

holds her head, she feels dizzy...

(CONTINUED)

168 CONTINUED:

MIK:

What happened?

CARTER:

I had an accident - I fell down

stairs...

MIK:

Is LESLIE here?

CARTER:

No he had to - he's just - he's out...

MIK:

He saved my life you know - has he told

you...

CARTER wants to say WHAT!?, but she's just too tired...

MIK:

I cut myself with our electric knife -

and if LESLIE hadn't been there, I would

have probably bled to death - he stopped

the bleeding and got me to the hospital

- the doctor said ten minutes later and

I would have been a stiff

CARTER begins to look more distant - her eyes wandering over to the

bricked up wall...

MIK:

I'd appreciate it if he got the flowers

- you know - to make matters worse, some

bastard broke into our flat the other

day - the police came round to

fingerprint it - they said if they're on

record - they'll catch them...

MIK continues talking about her inane life - CARTERs eyes, glazed,

wander over to the window - MIK's voice tails off to a non existent

echo...

169 INT DAY 66 ACACIA AVENUE - Slowly we move backwards - CARTER sits

looking out of the window...

We track back, through her back garden. It is very pretty, very normal.

A small dog hurriedly digs at something in the rose patch...A hand and

a foot can be seen - and the puffed up, half rotted face of the STREET

GIRL who STECKLER brought back...

169 CONTINUED:

DISSOLVE to FRONT STREET - We continue backward - A figure walks up the

path - INSPECTOR TAYLOR - We continue...

VOICE OF NEWSREADER

POLICE have announced that a woman, as

yet unidentified, is helping them with

their inquiries into the WHITE ANGEL

killings - The woman was apprehended

after her finger print was discovered on

a hammer, which belonged to her - the

same hammer that was used to beat JANE

MACDONALD to death last month. A brief

search of the area produced more

mutilated bodies, in the garden and

bricked up in the walls of the house...

The news has been met with....(Long

report which tails off)

We continue into the street... Back... back... Until the screen is

filled with houses just like CARTERS - thousands of cold, silent

houses.
