Treatment

THE KIDNAP
Carl Stevens is walking out of the pub when he notices a strange car with blacked out windows that seems to be following him, he is relieved when the car drives past him assuming he is just being paranoid. However, when Carl turns round the corner, the car is parked. Carl feels paranoid once again at this point, and quickens his pace. When he feels he is at a safe distance from the car, Carl begins to relax at which point he is attacked, dragged backwards and thrown into the boot of the parked car.

THE HOUSE
Kate Stevens is at home preparing dinner for her husband. After an hour or so, she begins to worry as she hasn't heard from Carl, and it is 10pm. She calls his work and is told that he left the office hours ago. Kate comes to the conclusion Carl must be out with his friends, and not bothered to tell her. She tries to call his phone but she is cut off, so she then calls his friends; none of them have heard from him.

THE POLICE STATION
After 24hrs, Kate reports her husband missing to the police. They take his details, and begin searching fro him.

THE SUPERMARKET
It's been a week since Carl disappeared, and Kate is out doing the weekly shop. She finishes, pays at the counter and makes her way home. As she is walking down the street, she notices a strange man following her.

THE SEARCH
Kate continues to search for Carl around their neighbourhood and notices the same strange man from the supermarket following her once again. She feels paranoid, but chooses to ignore it.

THE PHONE CALL
Kate is at home and about to go to bed when the phone rings; it's the police. They break the news to her that they believe Carl is dead, as they have investigated his disappearance thoroughly, and found nothing. Kate is distraught, and screams at the police unwilling to believe Carl is dead. She continues to search for her husband in every place she thinks he may be, and again, sees the strange man.

BAR
Kate visits a bar to drown her sorrows. In her drunken state, Kate is convinced the man sat next to her is Carl because he resembles him. She proceeds to follow the man home and calls the police. They come within ten minutes, searching the mans house and 'checking him out' but he is in fact a normal man called Adam Ryan, and not Carl. Kate now knows where Adam lives, so the next morning she follows him to work and follows him home again; still convinced he is Carl. Adam realises Kate is following him again, so calls the police. They have no choice but to arrest poor Kate for harassment.

THE TRUTH
Adam Ryan is called into the police station. The police have recently raided a warehouse as they were tipped off that a wanted drug dealer (K-Dizzle) was working from there. After evidence is gathered from the warehouse raid, they discover K-Dizzle and co had been creating fake passports and birth certificates for customers that owed them money. This evidence shows that Carl was in major debt to K-Dizzle, so he was kidnapped and beaten badly, and given the false identity; Adam Ryan.
