FADE IN:
1 INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT
PAN LEFT MEDIUM DOLLY SHOT - QWAYS SLEEPING ON THE DESK
Dream state SFX - cellphone ringing crossfade to gunshot
Qways wakes up in panic to the sound of a gunshot from a
terrible nightmare. His Jack Daniels bottle, painkillers
and the lamp, all stare at him closely.
INSERT SHOT - RACK FOCUS OF JACK DANIELS &
PAINKILLERS/CELLPHONE (CELL WALLPAPER OF QWAYS AND WIFE)
He tightly grips his pistol that hes been holding while he
was asleep.
DUTCH ANGLE/GOBOS - QWAYS
Qways notices he received a text message, he squints at the
bright lit screen. There is a list of multiple missed calls
and at the bottom is a text message from a stranger:
Answer your goddamn phone. Hes
coming to you. Run
CUT TO - DOOR OPENING
Footsteps can be heard out the door/or a door closing
Qways sits up and starts pointing his gun at the door,
expecting a threat and never been trigger happy than ever.
Qways starts slowly walking to his bed and sits down, his
gun still pointing at the door.
SLOW ZOOM IN - DOOR, HAVE QWAYS IN THE SHOT
CUT TO:
2 INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT - HITMAN
SILHOUETTE OVER THE SHOULDER - HITMAN (SMALL REVEAL)
The Hitman holds his pistol with his right hand to his side
while cautiously walking down the hallway, opening doors to
look for Qways. (doors opening and footstep SFX)
CLOSE UP - HITMANS FEET AND HANDS OPENING DOORS.
The hitman goes through multiple rooms, opening each door
quietly. Every room is empty, except the last one...he grabs
the door handle and slowly turns it. (REOG SHOT STYLE)
2.
CUT TO:
3 INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT - QWAYS
Qways is startled by the door opening, with confidence that
he thinks its the hitman he pulls the trigger...
Qwayss wife tumbles down to her knees then down to the
floor. Her right hand tightly gripped on her cell phone.
In shock, Qways gets off his bed and hurries to his wifes
lifeless body. Tears starts to pour out of his eyes.
