Muddled head: confused mind
               Frame: false

               Gerrard requested the intruder to believe his words and accompany him in his
               car. He added that the intruder could help him escape and if he felt that
               Gerrard‟s words were false, he could kill him with his gun.
               INTRUDER : May be you‟re right.

               The intruder believed Gerrard and said that probably he was right.

               GERRARD : Then don‟t waste time.
               (Goes and picks up hat and bag.)
               Gerrard was in a hurry. He picked up his hat and bag.

               INTRUDER : Careful, boss, I‟m watching you.

               The intruder warned Gerrard that he was watching his moves.

               GERRARD : I have got a man posted on the main road. He‟ll ring up if he
               sees the police, but I don‟t want to leave ... (telephone bell rings) Come on!
               They‟re after us. Through here straight to the garage.



















               Gerrard said that one of his accomplice had been positioned on the road to
               warn him if he saw the police. Just then the telephone bell rang and Gerrard
               said that it was time to leave. He directed the intruder to leave through the
               garage door.

               INTRUDER : How do I know that you are telling the truth?

               The intruder doubted Gerrard‟s words.

               GERRARD : Oh, don‟t be a fool. Look for yourself.
               (Gerrard opens door and steps away. Intruder leans forward to inspect it, with
               his side towards Gerrard, but with the revolver ready. As he turns his head,
               Gerrard gives him a push into the cupboard, knocking the revolver out of his
               hand. He slams the door and locks it, picks up the revolver and goes to the
               phone, where he stands with the gun pointed at the cupboard door.)
