INT. SCENE - Jacks bedroom Jack is sleeping in yesterdays clothes and is awoken by a phone call, he answers the call and props himself up slightly, listening inventively to what hes being told.

JACK on phone - Hello?.. No.. Im leaving soon.

EXT. SCENE - Jacks front garden + street Jack departs from his house, walking down the garden path with the briefcase and ignores his neighbour as he takes a left down his road.

NEIGHBOUR Gmorning Jack! JACK Does not reply and continues to walk, not acknowledging his neighbours existence.

EXT. SCENE - The field (Jack & Pablos designated meeting point) Jack appears from behind some bushes and begins nervously walking towards Pablo. Pablo waits for Jack to approach closer before breaking free of his stance and walks slowly with confidence to meet him.

PABLO Habla usted espaol? JACK Twitches nervously and doesnt know what to say. PABLO Maltido idiota.. Pablo then stares threateningly at the briefcase momentarily. JACK N-n-noo! Begins to run back with a concerned look on his face. PABLO Is that fucking so? Withdraws a Desert Eagle from his jacket and shoots Jack, the shot fades to white as the gun is fired and Jack is bewildered and apparently day-dreaming. Well? JACK Jack complies and hands the briefcase over before stepping back in a similar fashion to how he had envisioned in his day-dreaming, as he turns to free himself of the situation, Pablo withdraws his gun and shoots Jack in the back.

INT SCENE - Jacks bedroom The screen fades to white once more and Jack sits up, covered in sweat. He sits up and turns towards the briefcase which is positioned on the floor and stares at it with intense fear.

The lack of dialogue within this script is designed to create tension and allow an audience to focus on the on-screen elements of the film. The decision was also made with the idea in mind that our actors were not professional and had minimal experience with acting; this meant that our film had higher chances of looking amateur and so we decided to lower the workload for our actors and have them focus on their characters facial expressions and body language.
