Getting her out of the trunk and trying to protect her would have already told her that he wasn't going to kill her or let her die.

"She liked him?" I can't really see this I am afraid. He had kidnapped her. Lost her close protection officers. Destroyed her mobile phone. Physically assaulted her. Left her alone with the codes with no protection. Chased her. Threatened her. Pointed a gun at her. Locked her in a car boot. Driven her off at high speed with bullets coming through the car. What does someone have to do to her, for her to hate them then?

She was dying a painful death, barely conscious, scared out of her wits. She was saying anything and everything she knew at that moment, which wasn't very much, to get through to Lucas and have him help her. It didn't work.

I thought their period of interaction was fascinating and complex. There was a lot going on between them from the moment they met until the end and it veered between nice things and bad very quickly and more than once.

Thank you. Tea Lady had me on the ropes there for a minute. I was starting to worry about my poor little psyche. Danielle was a smart but simple kind of person and he was trying to protect her towards the end.

In the US, they record all emergency calls, fire, police or ambulance and there is beeping to signify this. He gave detailed information to the operator. (I also vaguely remember that after the beep, when he didn't speak, the operator prompted him for information.) Since Danielle had no idea where she was, if he wasn't speaking into a live phone, there was no reason to do that. In addition, he could have just walked over and stood looking down on her until she died.
