EXT. STREET - NIGHT |
|
|
Rob is walking down the street in the dark. Only street
lamps light his way. |
|
|
|
SOFT MUSIC starts to play. |
|
|
Rob gets the feeling he is being followed, and quickens his
pace. He looks over his shoulder constantly. As Rob enters
the light of one of the street lights, a VOICE comes from
the darkness. |
|
|
| |
STRANGER
Stop right there, David. |
|
|
|
Rob freezes in place. He doesn't know how to respond. He
doesn't turn around. |
|
|
|
The STRANGER stays in the shadows. |
|
|
| |
STRANGER (Cont'd)
Answer me David! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
STRANGER
You're voice sounds strange David.
Are you trying to play tricks with
me? I don't like tricks David! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
STRANGER
Shut up! Just shut up! Don't think
I forgot about what you did! |
|
|
|
The Stranger is blind with rage, and does not see that it is
not David. |
|
|
| |
ROB
Jesus man, I don't know what
you're talking about- |
|
|
|
| |
STRANGER
I won't let you get away with it
David! You should have finished me
when you had the chance! |
|
|
|
The Stranger walks closer, his hand enters the light, and we
see a handgun in his hand. He points it at Rob. |
|
|

|
| |
STRANGER (Cont'd)
Who sees who now David? I will
finally get you for what you did
to her. |
|
|
|
The CAMERA is in a WIDE SHOT position. A SHADOWY FIGURE
walks into frame watching from a distance. The man then puts
his finger to his ear, and mutters something. |
|
|
| |
ROB
You've got the wrong guy! |
|
|
|
| |
STRANGER
Shut up! You see David, I've got
nothing to lose. You took away
everything I ever loved. I died
that day with Laura. |
|
|
|
| |
ROB
Fuck man! I don't know what you're
talking about! I just wanna go
home. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rob makes a run for it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|

The Stranger freaks out and FIRES his gun. |

|
INT. KITCHEN, LAURA AND STEVEN'S HOUSE - DAY |
|
|
STEVEN'S face. It is cut and bruised. His eyes begin to open
slowly. He sluggishly gets up and looks around. |
|
|
|
The place is a mess. |
|
|
There is a GIRL lying on the ground, lifeless, she is also
cut and bruised. |
|
|
There is a MAN standing at the kitchen counter with his back
turned to him. |
|
|
5.
|
|
Steven GRUNTS as he tries to move. |
|
|
| |
DAVID
Oh, you're awake. Good. I was
getting worried you know. I didn't
want to lose you before I got my
money. |
|
|
|
| |
STEVEN
Get the fuck out of my house. |
|
|
|
| |
DAVID
Now, now, Steven. No need to be so
rude. You wouldn't want things to
get any worse than they already
are now, would you? |
|
|
|
| |
STEVEN
I told you I'd get you the money.
I just need time, David! |
|
|
|
|
DAVID turns around. |
|
|
| |
DAVID
Aah yes, time. You need time, yet,
I have no time to give. I've been
very patient with you, Steven. |
|
|
|
| |
STEVEN
I'll get you the money, I swear! |
|
|
|
| |
DAVID
Oh, I don't know. I'm not
convinced. I think you need a
little more...motivation. |
|
|
|
DAVID picks up a gun from the counter and walks over to the
girl on the floor. |
|
|
| |
STEVEN
Don't you fucking touch her! |
|
|
|
STEVEN tries to get up, but his leg is in bad shape and
BUCKLES under his weight. |
|
|
| |
DAVID
Now, now, Steven, no need to get
up. Your sister is very beautiful,
too bad you couldn't save her. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6.
|
Steven's voice is cut off by the GUN SHOT. He begins to cry,
burying his face in his hands. |
|
|
| |
DAVID
Such a shame, she was a very
pretty girl. |
|
|
|
| |
STEVEN
You motherfucker! I'll fucking
kill you! You hear me? I'll
fucking kill you! |
|
|
|
| |
DAVID
Now that's the spirit Steven! Now
if only you could have put that
anger and energy into getting me
my money, this wouldn't have
happened. |
|
|
|
|
David walks towards Steven. |
|
|
| |
DAVID (Cont'd)
Now that I have your attention,
let's discuss what I expect from
you. I want my money by next
Friday. That is one week from
today. The way I see it, you have
two options, you could be a good
little boy and get me my money, we
go our separate ways, and you can
try and live a new life. Or, you
could get the revenge I know you
so desperately want. |
|
|
|
|
David kneels in front of Steven. Steven looks up. |
|
|
| |
DAVID (Cont'd)
The choice is yours, but if you
don't get me my money, I will be
back to finish off what I started
today. |
|
|
|
|
David stands up. |
|
|
| |
DAVID (Cont'd)
Either way you'll probably end up
dead. So it's up to you how you
want to live your last week, by
doing the right thing, or avenging
your poor little sister over
there. I'll even give you a head
start. |
|
|
|
7.
|
|
David puts the gun on the counter. |
|
|
| |
DAVID
A little more fuel to feed the
fire. Or, to put it out. Don't get
up, I'll let myself out. |
|
|
|
|
David starts to leave, and then stops. |
|
|
| |
DAVID
Oh, and remember Steven, I will
always see you, but you will never
see me. |
|
|
|
|
David exits. |
|
|
|
Steven sits against the wall, unsure what to do. |
|
|
He crawls towards his dead sister and touches her face. He
begins to cry silently. |
|
|
He then pulls himself together, and crawls towards the
counter where the gun is. He pulls himself up and holds the
gun in his hand. It is the same gun he used to shoot Rob. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
EXT. STREET - NIGHT |
|
|
The Stranger walks into the light. Rob Falls on his knees.
Rob then falls backwards on his side, his face facing the
stranger. He drops the gun in shock, and walks over to Rob,
with a limp. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rob struggles to ask 'why', and then dies. |
|
|
The Stranger kneels down beside him and begins to cry,
touching the boys face. |
|
|
There is a QUICK FLASH of when Steven touches his sister's
face. |
|
|
| |
STEVEN
I'm so sorry. I'm...so sorry. |
|
|
|
The Stranger starts to cry even more, burying his head in
his hands. |
|
|
|
Steven is crying beside Rob's dead body. |
|

|
|
|
CAMERA PANS UPWARDS to reveal David's face. |
|
|
| |
DAVID
Steven, Steven, Steven. Look what
you did now. You've killed two
innocent people all because you
couldn't do the right thing and
just get me my money. |
|
|
|
Steven raises his head from his hands. He realizes he is
defeated and just sits on his knees. |
|
|
| |
DAVID (Cont'd)
Didn't I tell you Steven? I will
always see you, but you will never
see me. |
|
|
|
|
David walks closer to Steven, he raises the gun. |
|

Steven closes his eyes. |
