Car Chase

~INT. LEAD PATROL CAR, CONVOY — CONTINUOUS~

The SWAT officer behind the wheel of the lead black-and-white slows as he sees something burning in the intersection ahead.

~EXT. AVENUE — CONTINUOUS~

Overhead, a police helicopter checks the route, hovering above a burning fire truck, blocking the road.

~INT. ARMORED CAR — CONTINUOUS~

The Driver is all business. The radio crackles. RADIO: "All units, be advised. All units will exit down Cheviot west and proceed north on lower 5th avenue." Shotgun Swat: "Lower 5th? We'll be like ducks in a barrel down there."

~EXT. SURFACE STREETS — CONTINUOUS~

The convoy disappears down the exit ramp.

~EXT. LOWER FIFTH AVENUE — NIGHT~

The convoy rolls through the subterranean streets. A garbage truck pulls up behind and casually swipes the rear vehicles of the convoy off the road...

~INT. ARMORED CAR — CONTINUOUS~

Shotgun Swat: "Get us out of here!" The Driver nails the gas-"

~EXT. LOWER FIFTH — CONTINUOUS~

The Garbage Truck pushes hard on the armored car, ramming its rear bumper, and forcing it forward.

~INT. ARMORED CAR -- NIGHT~

The Driver watches the Truck fill his rearview. Shotgun Swat picks up the radio. Shotgun Swat: "We've got company back here-"

~EXT. LOWER FIFTH AVENUE — NIGHT~

A second truck smashes into the SWAT van at the head of the convosmashinging it through the concrete barriers and into the river. The truck is branded "LAUGHTER" but and "S" has been spayed at the front to make "SLAUGHTER" with "HA, HA, HA" all over the side... The Joker's Truck dodges between the support columns and into the oncoming lane- pulls alongside the armored car. The Driver looks over. The cargo door on the truck slides open. Inside, the Joker, holding a machine gun. The armored car locks up its brakes, but the garbage truck pushes it forward as the Joker fires bullets slamming into the side of the vehicle.

~INT. REAR CABIN, ARMORED CAR — CONTINUOUS~

Dent is calm as the swats flinch from the bullet indentations.

~INT. UP FRONT, ARMORED CAR — CONTINUOUS~

Shotgun SWAT STARES at the Joker.

~INT. REAR TRAILER OF TRUCK — NIGHT~

The Joker drops his machine gun and picks up an RPG. He stops- and sees something up ahead, racing towards the second truck- the Batmobile. The Joker stares, fascinated, as the batmobile rams right into the second truck- the low-profile car sending the truck up into the concrete ceiling- the Batmobile carries on through, as the truck disintegrates.

~INT. TRUCK — NIGHT~

The Joker looks back to the batmobile, amused. Joker Thug: "Is that him-?" Joker: "Anyone could be driving that thing-stay on Dent. " The Joker lines up his RPG and prepares to fire.

~Inside Armored truck~

Shotgun SWAT 1 s eyes go wide at the Joker's weapon- the Driver jams the brakes-
