- 7. Gerrard outwits the Intruder entirely through his intelligence, calmness and clever talk, without ever using force. When the armed Intruder breaks into his cottage and announces that he intends to kill Gerrard and take over his identity to escape the police, Gerrard does not panic. Instead, keeping his wit about him, he begins to talk cleverly and spins a story that he himself is a wanted criminal and that the police are about to arrive at the cottage at any moment. This unexpected tale alarms and confuses the Intruder, who now becomes anxious to get away. Seizing the opportunity, Gerrard pretends to help him escape and lures him towards a cupboard, claiming it is a secret way out. As the Intruder steps inside, Gerrard quickly locks the door, trapping him, and then telephones the police. Through sheer presence of mind, Gerrard turns a deadly situation completely to his advantage.
