Bad guys are chasing you and you are trying to outrun them. The middle row is open at both ends and those ends join, so anything running off one side of it carries on from the other. Its two entries are unclued. Some cells belong to one entry only. Four across answers are entered backwards. Their first letters, in clue order, name what has been turned, and the manner of their entry gives the rest of its two-word state (4,4). Those same four clues each hide a pursuer, lying across the gaps between words. All four are proper names. Once the crossings have forced every letter of the unclued row, it holds a demand of two words (6,4). It reads along a single route, stepping from one cell to a neighbour, never crossing a bar and never using a cell twice, and the route may use the way that row joins up. Two across entries are unclued.
