- Zakes?
Oh, hello, Sleeping Beauty.
- Are we there yet?
- Nearly. Are you hungry?
(Beth) God, l'm starving.
Any biscuits left?
l saved you the last Boaster.
You know how moany you get
if you don't get food.
- What are you doing?
- Nothing.
My camera battery's dead.
At the services can l use your phone
to take photos?
Yeah, sure, but why do they make you
take photos of the posters you put up?
- They say it's for the clients.
- They think you're a slacker, more like.
Oh, bollocks. Memory's full.
l'll have to delete some.
- Aah. They're of our holiday.
- Egypt. Land of a thousand arguments.
Look at that.
- What is it? l can't see it properly.
- lt's a photo of the stars.
Remember that night on the beach?
The brilliant sky?
- Why did you just call me a slacker?
- lt was a joke. Jesus.
- l loved that night.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
- Oh, you don't remember it, do you?
- Yes, l do.
- Stars. Lovely.
- Oh, my God ! You don't remember.
lt's just sky, Beth. You've seen one star,
you've seen them all.
- Should l delete these pictures, then?
- No!
No, don't be silly.
Come on.
lt's not that big a deal, is it?
(Ringing)
(Voicemail) 'Hiya, it's Sarah.
'l can't get to the phone right now,
so leave a message.'
Hiya, it's me.
Look, l don't think
l'll be able to make the party tonight.
l still haven't told Zakes about Leo.
l've tried, but...but every time
l'm gonna say something, l just...
Oh, God, l feel shit, Sarah.
l don't know why l did it.
Listen, when you get this,
can...can you give me a call? Bye.
Oh.
Can l use your phone
for the photos?
Cheers.
Have you got some petrol money?
No, thanks.
(Phone rings)
Hello?
(Sighs)
- (Beth) How many more garages?
- One.
You know that twat Leo
just called your phone and hung up?
- Leo?
- Yeah. Leo.
lt is his sister's birthday.
He'll be seeing if we're going.
He's a sniffer waiting for his chance.
What a cock.
- Zakes...
- What is he? About 40?
The only people who wear their mobiles
on their belts are dads or pricks.
He's not that bad.
- l am only doing this job because it...
- Lets you finish your book.
Yeah, l know.
l know.
(Laughs) You don't think
l can be a writer, do you?
l've never read
anything you've finished.
l'm not really feeling
my writing at the minute.
Don't you think you should put an effort
into it, even if you're not feeling it?
ls this about my writing or us?
- Do you really not remember the sky?
- Oh, for fuck's sake.
- Why are you going on about that?
- Because it upset me.
- You're not bothered about us.
- You know what? l am not doing this.
Do you realise it's a year
since you said we'd move in together?
And you haven't
even mentioned it since.
(Rap plays at loud volume)
(Turns music off)
(Sighs)
Where's the flask?
Oh.
Whoa.
(Tyres squeal)
(Horn blares)
Help!
Jesus.
Jesus!
Beth.
Beth. Beth, Beth !
Wake up!
l think l just saw a woman, naked,
in the back of that truck!
A naked fucking woman locked up
caged in the back of that truck!
(Zakes) What the fucking hell...?
(Beth) What are you on about?
(Zakes) That truck overtook us.
He pulled up there in front of us.
The shutter came up, and there was
a woman stood there, with no clothes on,
and she was screaming.
Jesus Christ.
Oh, my God.
Shit.
Right, well, what we gonna do?
Zakes?
Your phone.
Gimme your phone.
Hello, yeah. Police.
Yeah, l think l've just seen
something really weird on the motorway.
Er, the M 1 .
Er, well, it was a woman.
She was tied-up, naked,
in the back of a white truck.
Yeah, my name's
Zakes - Zakes - Abbot.
Er, the plates...
Just hang on a sec.
The fucking plates
have got shit all over them ! Fuck!
Er... no.
l-l can't see the plates, no.
- OK, thanks. Bye.
- What did they say?
(Sighs) They said they'll get someone
onto it,
but l really think they need the plates.
- Ah, shit.
- Maybe we should go and get them.
- Are you mad?
- Zakes, we have to do something !
- Jesus fucking Christ, Zakes!
- All right!
- You want me to do something, all right!
- Zakes!
Shit.
- l can't see anything.
- For fuck's sake.
(Phone beeps)
(Cars horn)
Yeah, all right.
All right.
- You were meant to get the plates.
- l couldn't get that shit off.
But l took a picture
of the inside of the truck. Have a look.
- l can't see anything.
- Shit.
- Oh, shit.
- What we gonna do now?
Right. l'm gonna overtake him.
See if you can see some plates, yeah?
l can't.
l can't... l can't see them.
l can't see anything.
Hello. Police. Yeah, l just called
a minute ago about a truck on the M 1 .
l saw a woman caged in the back.
Yeah, a woman. lt was a white truck.
No, l couldn't see his plates.
What junction?
- l think it's junction 30. Past Worksop.
- We think junction 30. Heading North.
Yeah. O-OK.
Thank you. Thanks. Bye.
- Well?
- They said they'll sort it.
Well, how?
By stopping every truck on the M 1 ?
l don't know!
They said not to get involved.
- What you doing?
- lt isn't our problem any more.
- What? lt isn't our problem?
- No!
What can we do? l'm not really sure if l
saw anything, anyway. lt was so quick.
Zakes. Zakes, the police.
- Zakes!
- Yeah.
Pull up behind him, flash him,
and tell him about the truck.
Zakes, flash him !
- What are you doing?
- This. This garage.
lt's our last stop.
We'd have to go round again.
We're not stopping
cos you have to put posters up?
This is my job, Beth.
Look, l've called the police.
Jesus, l even got out of the car.
To help her or because you were
pissed off with me?
You do things, but your priorities,
they're fucked up!
This isn't even
about the truck, is it?
This is about
what a fuck-up you think l am.
l'll finish my book
as soon as we get home.
l'll rack my brains
to remember a sky.
We can move in together this evening,
if you want. Right now.
ls that all good with you?
Why have you come tonight?
l wanted to do something positive
with our relationship.
- Oh, like l never do anything.
- Not if you have to go out your way.
- Jesus Christ! That poor woman !
- l go out of my way for you.
When? Oh, you saved me a biscuit.
l can't do this on my own any more.
When are you gonna
fucking grow up?
l'm gonna get a coffee.
Beth, l need your phone
to take photos of the posters.
l've deleted the sky. So now you can fill
my phone with pictures of toilets, OK?
Fuck!
(Men) Oh, City, we love you
Let's go fucking mental
Let's go fucking mental
Hey!
Oi !
What's this, you wanker?
(Man) Fucking dickhead !
(Singing and shouting grows distant)
- Can l nip in?
- They're out of order.
l just want to put these up.
Are there any posters
in the disabled toilet?
OK.
- (Shouting)
- (Man) Hurry up!
(Laughter and jeering)
(Woman) 99p, please.
Thank you.
Next.
Next!
- That's 1 . 1 0, please.
- Yeah, thanks.
Beth, look at this.
- Zakes, l need to tell you something.
- No, hang on a minute.
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, shit.
(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 fuck'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 ! Fuck, just take it easy!
You don't have to pull hard ! Fucking hell !
Argh, fucking 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.
Shit!
(Engine stalls)
What the fuck?
(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 fucking 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, shit.
(Police radio) 'Ford Granada,

You do not have to say anything.
Anything you do may be used

Someone has taken my girlfriend.
You listen to me.
You calm the fuck down. OK?
- OK?

Golf alpha 39,

Suspect name is Zakes Abbot.
Linked to a stolen Granada.

Roger.
