Taylor is a desperate man, he drives along the motorway late at night, in a hurry, constantly viewing his rear mirror to see if he's being followed.
He turns off the motorway onto a road leading to the Woodheath Motel. He enters reception and goes up to desk. Sam a man in his fifties checks him in, and hands him room 4 key.
Taylor enters room 4 and relaxes, he feels safe.
A little while later two men approach Sam at the desk, Sam nods and hands them pass key , they enter room 4.
Taylor is in the shower when suddenly the shower curtain is drawn back. The two intruders stare at Taylor, the larger one, Roscoe holds a knife and without saying anything he calmly stabs Taylor in the stomach. Taylor collapses, his blood trickles away down the plug hole mixing with the water. Roscoe and his mate Terry return the key to Sam at desk, Sam nods and carries on reading his paper, it's all in a day's work at the Woodheath Motel.
Mike and Helen Spencer arrive at the Woodheath Motel, park the car outside in the car park, and Mike leaves and asks Helen to give him 5 minutes before entering herself. Mike signs in at reception and Sam hands him key to room 4. Inside room 4 Mike puts a case down on the bed and opens it, to reveal electronic surveillance equipment. He takes out a bugging device and conceals it under a table lamp.
Helen enters motel and is shown into room 7, across the corridor from room 4.
Helen waits a few minutes then surreptitiously leaves her room making sure no one sees her knocking lightly on the door of room 4. Mike lets her in and the two discuss a delicate situation. Mike is troubled, the firm he works for have started an audit of the accounts and Mike knows they'll find it short of 40,000 pounds. Helen says," but you didn't take it Mike."
Mike, " as my sister I doubt your view will be considered impartial, I just don't know who to trust. Burns will point the finger at me, but he's the only other person to have access to the account, it must be him who stole it."
Mike is here because he received a phone call from Burns secretary Janice Freeman that Burns wants a meeting here at the Woodheath, and says Mike, " whatever happens in this room I want a witness."
Mike hands her a walkie talkie and shows her the bugging device, " now go back to your room Helen and wait for Burns, we've got about half an hour."
Helen leaves with a recording device, and Mike lays on the bed waiting to see what Charles Burns , his colleague and probable thief is going to say, possibly a deal to split the money he stole.
Helen in her room also lays on her bed, takes a book out of her bag and starts reading.
Roscoe and Terry approach Sam at the desk, he nods and looks over to room 4. Roscoe knocks on door, Mike answers it and Roscoe and Terry barge in.
In room 7 on Helen's walkie talkie the sound of a struggle is heard as Mike fights for his life. Unfortunately Helen is oblivious to the sound as she has fallen asleep.
Room 4 door opens, Roscoe carries Mike's body out and walks off down corridor.
Helen awakes, looks at her watch , calls Mike up on the radio, but gets no answer.
She hurries out of room and enters room 4 to see Sam in room cleaning and tidying.
Sam, " can I help you Miss?"
Helen, " the man who has this room, where is he?"
Sam, " the room is vacant Miss, no one been here for sometime."
Helen worried, " what?! A man checked in before me, he signed for room 4."
Sam, " oh him, he left Miss, didn't like the room. Why, do you know him?"
Helen, ". er no, it's just that he lent me some cigarettes and I wanted to pay him back."
Sam, " oh I see Miss, we have a machine in reception for cigarettes Miss."
Helen backs out of room in a state of some confusion.
Meanwhile Roscoe has entered room 7, and sees the walkie talkie, picks it up and runs out and shows Sam.
Helen makes a dash for the front door and runs for her car
