The third script in the Urban Legends series is called "Killer in the Back Seat" and it takes place after "The Hook Man". It's quite a short story and serves as a break up and link to the next story, it focuses on a takeaway delivery driver almost finishing her shift getting murdered by Jack, so he can steal the takeaway and gain access to his next victim.
The story starts with Kath, a delivery driver talking to her significant other on the phone as she pulls up to the takeaway. She runs into the takeaway and collects her last two orders before she can finish. Jack sneaks in the back of the car and she drives away unaware to the next order. Jack waits for her to make the first delivery and then murders her when she gets back in the car. He then takes the remaining order and goes to deliver it, leading in to the next and final story.
It's very short and sweet and doesn't really give much to the characters as much as the story. There might be a way to lengthen the story but it may just be dragging it out for no reason, and could ruin the story if it consists of unnecessary dialogue. Drew and John have had a read through and agree with many of the points I've made. It's a very short script and might not even be worth filming due to it's length and in some ways unneeded for the whole progression of the story, it may be easier to merge to scripts into one. Well have Di take a look at the script and see what advice she can offer and an changes she can find, and we'll work from there. Visually there is some interesting and powerful shots to be captured here, so i guess theres a positive to keeping it green lit, but it does feel so different from the other scripts and it may break the style and theme throughout which might ruin it a little.
