[In the police van in Kent, en route to Albany Prison, Inspector Highland enters with two cups of coffee, and sits down with two other officers]

Inspector Highland:
Hello, Sean. Don't mind if I come along, do ya? [chuckles as the prison convoy gets underway; all throughout, Miller is silent, staring] Although I disapprove of the things you've done, Sean, I can't quite bring meself to condemn ya. I can't, 'cause I understand where the hatred comes from. I more than understand it. But the present fact is we're very near now the darkest hole in all of Great Britain... and ya still won't speak to me.

[Miller remains silent; Highland scoffs and sits back, as the convoy reaches a raising bridge]

Officer on Radio:
They're raising the bridge. We'll be here about five minutes.

First Officer:
Understood.

[Suddenly, the van shakes as an RPG is fired into it, followed by several more explosions outside as the rest of the convoy is taken out; one of the officers tries to communicate with dispatch]

Second Officer:
They've jammed the radio!

[Highland glares at Miller, who smirks back at him. IRA men led by Kevin O'Donnell approach the convoy; O'Donnell pounds on the door]

Kevin O'Donnell:
Open the door! [Highland and the officers look to see O'Donnell with a hostage] Open it, or I'll kill him!

First Officer:
The bridgekeeper!

Second Officer:
What do we do?

Inspector Highland:
[resignedly] We open the door.

First Officer:
Oh, for Christ's sake, man, but --

Inspector Highland:
But what? Wait until they kill him, and then open the door? [glares at Miller, then bangs his head against the side of the van in frustration before he opens the door]

Kevin O'Donnell:
Your guns!

Inspector Highland:
We are unarmed.

Second Officer:
Just who the hell are you? [is promptly shot]

Kevin O'Donnell:
Get them out! [the IRA men pull Highland and the other officer out and throw them to the ground, next to the bridgekeeper; O'Donnell opens Miller's cell, embracing him] Think we'd forgot about you, did ya? [undoes Miller's cuffs, and both men step out]

Sean Miller:
Inspector Robert Highland... this is a friend of mine.

Kevin O'Donnell:
[puts his gun to Highland's head] We meet at last, Mr. Highland. Tell me, what did they pay you to turn against your own people, eh?

Inspector Highland:
Get on with it, and be on your way.

Kevin O'Donnell:
Very well. If that's the way ya feel about it...

[O'Donnell aims... then looks over at Miller, before handing him the pistol. Miller then shoots Highland, the other officer, and the bridgekeeper dead]
