OK, that's a bit more complex :-)  As there are several solutions, 
and they are depending on how you want to have the end situation, I 
choose to end with a hold forever in the "fade away a chase" cue:

// Cuelist 7 (6 steps), stored 28-03-2006 22:11
  set layer to mix transparent from 100% to 0% in 10s
  show d02 for 10s, crossfading for 10s        // fade away the running chase
  go 7.5 in layer A   // put myself in hold forever with the same 
fade away scene in A
  go 001              // kill layer zz
  show 7.2 for ever   // we are waiting here at the end
001:

   50[000]   51[000]   52[000]   53[000]   54[000]   55[000]
   56[000]   57[000]   58[000]   59[000]   60[000]   61[000]
   62[000]   63[000]   64[000]   65[000]

Run this cue as g7zz, and it all happens. You end in layer A, and zz is gone.

Have fun,
