THE TOWN - Rev. 5/20/10 (Buff Reshoots) 6.<br />
12 INT. VAN - CONTINUOUS ACTION<br />
12<br />
Doug pushing her into the bench, sitting next to her.<br />
DOUG<br />
Eyes shut. Don’t talk. Don’t<br />
listen.<br />
Doug pulls out a small knife. He tugs at her jacket hem,<br />
CUTTING OFF a strip of fabric -- making her flinch.<br />
As THE VAN LURCHES FORWARD, he ties it around her head as<br />
a blindfold. He makes a fist and drives it -- STOPPING<br />
JUST SHORT OF HER NOSE. Making sure she can’t see.<br />
He sits back. STUDYING her with impunity.<br />
As he stares at her we have a NON-LINEAR SEQUENCE where<br />
we FLASH BACK TO Doug scouting the bank job, observing<br />
Claire as she came and went from work -- but we HEAR a<br />
conversation between Claire and an FBI agent that takes<br />
place AFTER the robbery.<br />
13 FLASHBACK - EXT. CAMBRIDGE MERCHANTS BANK<br />
13<br />
Doug watches intently from Au Bon Pain’s patio as Claire<br />
comes to work in the morning.<br />
FRAWLEY (V.O.)<br />
Ms. Keesey, I want to start with<br />
your abduction, then take you back<br />
through the robbery itself. Could<br />
you see anything through the<br />
blindfold?<br />
CLAIRE (V.O.)<br />
Just... a narrow strip of light.<br />
FRAWLEY (V.O.)<br />
I’m assuming they warned you not<br />
to cooperate with the police.<br />
CLAIRE (V.O.)<br />
One of them took my driver’s<br />
license.<br />
14 EXT. CAMBRIDGE MERCHANTS BANK<br />
14<br />
Claire gets off work. Doug sits in a cafe, watching.<br />
FRAWLEY (V.O.)<br />
Did he say anything else?
