THE TAXI RIDE
CUT TO: EXT. QUITE, DARK STREET – NIGHT
JENNY is waiting for a cab to go home after a night out. She is staggers a little as she walks because she is quite drunk. A taxi stops near her and she jumps in. (Slight background noise of distant cars and drunken people)
INT. TAXI - NIGHT
JENNY
Tooley Street please, by London Bridge station?
There is the sound of dimmed classical music playing from the radio. The DRIVER doesn’t reply.
JENNY
Hello, can you please?
TAXI MAN
Yeah (in a low, depressed voice)
JENNY:
Thank you
(Jenny begins to realise that the man is weird and keeps quite)
TAXI MAN:
What’s your name then?
JENNY:
We seem to be going the wrong way, oh and Julie.
By now they are in a quiet, dark side-road and the TAXI MAN suddenly stops
JENNY:
What are you doing? Let me out!
TAXI MAN:
Calm down, I’m stopping for a reason.
The TAXI MAN is being genuine and JENNY has sobered up by now
JENNY:
Can you please tell me what’s going on?
TAXI MAN:
I’m from N I 5, I’m protecting you, and someone dangerous was waiting for you at Tooley Street. I didn’t tell you then in case you drew attention to us; freaking out and stuff.
JENNY:
How do you know me, and am I safe now. How can I trust you?
TAXI MAN:
Jenny it’s me Lewis, you worked with us!
The man peels of a skin mast, showing his true identity
JENNY:
LEWIS! It’s you! But I haven’t worked with you lot for age’s
TAXI MAN (LEWIS)
I know, and yes you are safe now.
