Before we get into today's scene we have to deal with Daphne:
86 EXT. STREET - NIGHT
DOLLYING IN FRONT OF her, as tightening her scarf, she heads for the gas station, two blocks away. In the b.g., WE WATCH the sign over the restaurant go out.
O.S., the DISTANT SOUND of DOGS beginning to BARK.
87 FROM ACROSS THE STREET - MOVING
Something is there, following her.
88 CLOSE - DAPHNE
As she continues along the deserted street. Suddenly, she thinks she hears something behind her. She stops, looks back.
89 HER POV - PANNING
Nothing. Just some very scary shadows and the SOUND off the branches CREAKING overhead in the wind.
90 BACK TO DAPHNE
As she resumes walking, but now quickens her pace. The SOUND of the DOGS' BARKING grow more agitated.
91 HER POV - MOVING
Rotolo's gas station. One small light in the window. Her car parked in front... a block and a half away.
92 FROM ACROSS THE STREET
As she quickens her pace ... a pair of old fashioned, soft, leather boots ENTER SHOT, start after her.
93 DAPHNE'S FEET
Walking faster and fester.
94 MEN'S BOOTS
Now crossing the street, beginning to gain on her.
95 DAPHNE
As she throws a terrified look back over her shoulder, breaks into a panicky run.
96 DAPHNE - LONG LENS
Through the window of her car, running in terror, TOWARD CAMERA.
Finally, she reaches the car, grabs the door handle, pulls it open, jumps inside.
Suddenly something ENTERS FRAME, pulls the door open, as a strong hand with a LARGE BLACK STONE RING, grabs her viciously by the throat.
She lets out a WRENCHING SCREAM, and we ...

End of sequence.
As we can see, the sequence was scripted to be shot much closer to the Daphne scene in hoDS, but in the actual pilot it didn't end up as quite as much of a ripoff, er, "homage" to that. And as for the differences between the script and the pilot, there is no dollying involved in Scene 86 and Daphne doesn't tighten her scarf, she's simply holding it - and there are no sounds of barking dogs at this point, only nearby clanging buoys and a boat's horn - before Scene 87 there's a shot of Daphne walking along a different street as she adjusts her scarf around the collar of her coat, and that's when the sounds of dogs howling in the distance begins to be heard - there are no sounds of creaking branches in Scene 89, but sounds of barking dogs can then be heard and the howling grows louder - and Scenes 91 and 92 do not appear in the pilot - nor does Scene 94.
