1. INT. SECURE HOLDING FACILITY - NIGHT
The story begins within a dark room, a blue light barely
allowing us to see anything. We can hear water dripping onto
something from a pipe overhead. AN UNCONSCIOUS MAN in a dirty
orange prison jumpsuit is in our view. He is dishevelled, sat
in an uncomfortable chair and propped against the desk in
front of him.
We cut to another viewpoint as TWO MEN enter the room.
There's a stark contrast. These men are clean, well groomed
and obviously at the peak of physical fitness. They are
adorned in what looks like heavily armoured charcoal grey
military uniforms. The outfits have a distinct lack of any
form of insignia or logo. They have gloves, to remove any
chance of leaving behind fingerprints. They are very
obviously men who do not want to be held accountable or be
traced.
SHADY MAN #1
Prisoner R-113. William Monroe.
Suspected. Wake him.
The camera follows SHADY MAN #2 as he walks over to WILLIAM's
right hand side and places a small, rectangular device on the
prisoners neck. A small light on it blinks green before we
hear a hiss from the device as something is injected. It
takes a second or two before WILLIAM awakes. He is dazed and
confused.
WILLIAM
Where the hell am I? Who are you
people?!
He attempts to stand up but SHADY MAN #2 places a firm hand
on his shoulder and pushes him back down into the chair. The
men are very clearly much bigger than him. No point in a
struggle. SHADY MAN #1 remains on the other side of the
table. We cut back to him in a two-shot. He's looking down on
WILLIAM. He knows he's in control and the audience can see it
too.
SHADY MAN #1
William Monroe. 26 years old.
Occupation: Teacher. You live on
Parkview Terrace with one sibling -
your sister. Abigail Monroe.
Correct?
Cut back to WILLIAM, who very clearly looks freaked out that
these people know so much about him.
WILLIAM
What? --I mean, Yes. But, what? How
do you know all of that?! Who ARE
you?!
SHADY MAN #1 avoids the question again. He neatens his suit.
2.
SHADY MAN #1
Where were you last night, Mr.
Monroe?
WILLIAM
Where d'you think? I'm a teacher. I
was at home, doing paperwork.
SHADY MAN #1 smirks.
SHADY MAN #1
Don't insult my intelligence Mr.
Monroe. We've had you under
surveillance for weeks. It's been
..interesting, to say the least.
WILLIAM
You people have been watching me?!
Motherfu-
SHADY MAN #2 socks him in the jaw. There's an audible
cracking sound. William lets out a short pained scream. SHADY
MAN #2 backs off. WILLIAM is wincing in pain. A trickle of
crimson blood now flowing from his lip.
SHADY MAN #1
Where were you last night, Mr.
Monroe?
WILLIAM
Go thuck yourselth!
WILLIAM continues to look like he's in pain. It was painful
for him to talk. SHADY MAN #1 is calm as ever. He turns to
speak to the other operative.
SHADY MAN #1
This is getting us nowhere. Bring
me the sister instead.
WILLIAM looks angry. He stands up aggressively, but doesn't
move.
WILLIAM
You thuck! Leave my sifther out of
this!
SHADY MAN #1
Goodnight, Mr. Monroe. You were
given a chance. You lost it. It's
been a pleasure.
WILLIAM
What?
There's a hiss as the black device from earlier is pressed
again by SHADY MAN #2.
3.
WILLIAM immediately falls to the ground. Comatose. An
interrogation control measure in the injection. SHADY MAN #1
looks disappointed.
SHADY MAN #1 (TO HIMSELF)
Where were you last night, Mr.
Monroe?
