Brooklyn, New York

Not a backdrop but an antagonist. The BMT West End Line elevated railway gave the chase its ceiling — a roof of steel and noise that pressed the action downward into the streets. There is no sky in this sequence. There is only what is immediately ahead, and how much of it can be cleared before the next thing arrives.

Key locations

• BMT West End Line, Bensonhurst
• Stillwell Avenue elevated station
• Bay 50th Street (principal high-speed run, 26 blocks)
• Exterior streets beneath the elevated structure
