1. Begin Flashback:
INT. VICTIM’S HOUSE - NIGHT
The Victim gazes in fear whilst on the floor. Eric with his
face hidden points a gun to the Victim’s temple. As he does
that, Kyle is witnessing the whole event, peaking under a
desk.
VICTIM
What do you want?! Is it money!? I can
give you anything!
ERIC
Look at the position you’re in. Do you
think I’d walk out of here once you
bribe me, and everything will be fine
for you? Think again. There are some
people who honor their words and some
who lie. I came to do one specific
task, and I always finish what I
start.
The Victim is about to beg for mercy until Eric pulls the
trigger on his head.
Begin Flash-forward 3 years later:
INT. ERIC’S HOUSE - MORNING
Eric is at home, in his bathroom, doing his daily chores.
Washes his face. Combs his hair. Dresses smartly. Eric heads
for the door, collecting his phone and house keys.
EXT. ERIC’S HOUSE - MORNING
Eric exits his house, locks the door and begins walking down
the pathways.
ERIC (VOICEOVER)
Nobody decides who is born or who we
are given birth to. Some live in
luxury whilst some live through labor.
My name is Eric. I never reveal my
last name to anyone. I have a special
job that is classified. A big house. I
live in absolute isolation and
solitude. The island I live on is a
fun place for tourists to go to. At
least it is not as noisy as the big
city.
2. 2.
EXT. BEACH - MORNING
Eric sits by the coast, gazing at the sea. His phone suddenly
starts ringing.
ERIC (TO HIMSELF)
Unknown number?
He answers the mysterious call.
ERIC
Hello…? Hey, who is this…?! How do you
know my name…?! It is my business to
know why…! What even do you know about
me?!
KYLE (VOICE IS HEARD)
Are you the man sitting by the coast,
with a black trenchcoat over your
shoulder, and your phone pressed so
close to your ear?
Eric hangs up. He checks his surroundings before rushing
home. On his way home, he spots Thug 2 walking towards him.
ERIC (VOICEOVER)
The guy in front of me looks likes a
foreigner. His pockets seem empty.
There’s no way he’d pull a gun or
knife. His hands aren’t in his pockets
and his sleeves are too short to hide
anything underneath.
EXT. ERIC’S HOUSE - MORNING
Eric and Thug bump past each other just as Eric reaches his
house. Eric notices that his house keys are gone. Looking
back, Eric realizes that Thug nicked his keys.
ERIC
Of course.
Eric grabs an umbrella underneath his outside chair. Opening
it up, he positioned it in place before the door that would
make it impossible for anyone to see past. Eric retrieves a
spare key hidden in one of his turtle decorations. He quickly
folds up the umbrella before heading back into his house.
INT. ERIC’S HOUSE - MORNING
Eric locks and leans against the door. Entering his room, he
3. 3.
rests on his bed. Eric receives another call from Kyle - the
person who called him earlier.
ERIC
What do you want!? Who even are you…?!
I should know you?! Three years ago…!?
Was that you I bumped into on my way
home…?! It wasn’t…?! Thought so. So
the guy I bumped into is with you! All
so you could steal my keys and gain
access to my house…?! And I demand you
answer me. What is your name…?! Kyle
Brennan? I’ll mark that on your
gravestone.
Eric hangs up. He looks outside and notices that it was
getting dark quickly. He then spots Kyle spying on him on the
other end of the road, disappearing around a corner.
ERIC (VOICEOVER)
Whoever is after me knows who I am. He
said three years ago. I’ve known many
people but I’ve never heard of him.
Anything could’ve happened around that
time. The guy I bumped into is working
with Kyle. It was only today that Kyle
started going after me. Not sure why
though. If that’s the case, I bet he’s
coming at night. Of course. Night is
always perfect for breaking into
places. Enough to remain hidden and
discreet.
Eric heads towards his wardrobe, placing a stool in front. As
he stands on the stool he uses a paper tube to grab a plastic
bag that had been pushed far behind on the top of the
wardrobe. He pulls out a black handgun from the plastic bag.
After practising pulling his gun out in front of the mirror,
he goes over to the power box of his house and shuts it off.
INT. ERIC’S HOUSE - NIGHT
Eric waits patiently by the door. The darkness blends in with
his black trench coat. He is hidden behind a wall with a good
view of the door. He has his phone out looking at
surveillance footage from live camera feeds around the house.
ERIC (VOICEOVER)
The door is unlocked. They wouldn't
expect me to welcome them into my
house. There are two other doors. No
4. 4.
bullets can penetrate through my
windows not matter how many are used.
I shut the power off to blend in with
the darkness. They won't know what hit
them. My eyes are too used to the
dark.
A car is heard pulling up to the house. A group of men are
heard talking to each other. Eric listens carefully.
KYLE
Hurry up! He could be calling the
police. Lets just kill him and get out
of here…!
THUG 1
Say, why is the door unlocked?
THUG 2
He could be arranging a trap for us.
Going in through the door is what he
wants us to do.
KYLE
He could have a mounted machine gun
ready to mow us down. But how did he
get back into his house when we have
his keys?!
THUG 2
There must be a secret entrance. Lets
split up and search. We’re not falling
for his trap!
Eric giggles to himself upon hearing their false theory. Eric
backs against the door where he looks out of a window next to
where he is positioned. For a second, he sees no one. He is
then started when Thug 2 looks through the window wearing a
creepy mask. Eric was fast enough to avoid being seen.
Flashlight lights are seen through the blinds, moving around
the outside of the house. Sounds of the intruders piecing
something together can be heard. All is silent. Eric exits
the house.
EXT. ERIC’S HOUSE - NIGHT
Eric searches around the driveway for the intruders. He spots
the end of a rope that had been thrown and attached to his
balcony.
5. 5.
ERIC
I should’ve locked the door to my
balcony.
Eric quickly rushes back inside.
INT. ERIC’S HOUSE - NIGHT
Kyle and his two thugs successfully infiltrate Eric's house
through the balcony.
KYLE
Remember. Find that guy and kill him.
Kyle and his men split up and search the house.
All is seen on Eric's phone as he reenters his house and
locks the door. Pulling out his gun, Eric slowly starts
making his way up the stairs, checking every corner, and
every room he passes. Before making another turn, he peaks
out, seeing Thug 1 heading to his room.
Thug 1 enters Eric’s room, closing the door behind him. He
tries the lights but doesn’t work. He is just about to enter
the bathroom when the door to the room suddenly opens. Thug 1
turns around but sees no one enter the room. The door closes.
Knowing that someone is crawling on the floor, Thug 1
crouches beside the bed to where he suspects Eric is. Taking
a flashlight out, he shines his light on the spot but sees no
one there. A pillow is gently placed against his face. Eric
is crouched beside him, holding the pillow against Thug 1
with a gun pressed against the other side.
ERIC
If you wanted to enter my bedroom, you
should’ve just asked.
Eric pulls the trigger of the gun, as the sound gets
cancelled by the pillow.
Both Kyle and Thug 2 exit one of the bathrooms. Kyle heads
downstairs whilst Thug 2 checks another room on the second
floor.
Eric comes out of his bedroom and heads for the stairs. He
inavedently kicks an empty can, creating noise. Thug 2 - who
had been peaking from the room he entered - bursts out and
opens fire on Eric. Eric rushes down the stairs, inaccurately
shooting him, before hiding behind a wall at the bottom. As
Thug 2 makes his way down to the stairs, Eric tosses a book -
found beside him - for Thug 2 to see, who hastily shoots it.
6. 6.
Eric quickly open fires, killing Thug 2, who tumbles down the
stairs. Before Eric could make it to his living room, Kyle
fires shots at him from the living room, but ducks for cover.
KYLE (VOICE IS HEARD)
Is that you!?
ERIC
That’s right! You’re on your own, now!
It’s over! What is you want?!
KYLE (VOICE IS HEARD)
What do you think happened three years
ago!? I left a task incomplete! I
should’ve killed you back then! I have
a question for you, too! How many
bullets do you have left!?
Eric checks his gun, noticing one bullet left.
ERIC (TO HIMSELF)
I’m screwed.
Eric backs up when Kyle fires a few more shots at him. Eric
is still unable to see him. Eric crouches behind his dining
table, where he sees Kyle’s feet on the other end. Eric gets
up, pointing his gun at Kyle, who shoots him first. With his
arm wounded, Eric backs up against the wall. Eric suddenly
notices the gun Kyle has, was his former gun.
ERIC
It’s you. Now it all makes sense.
Unfinished business.
KYLE
Precisely. The only thing the police
is going to fine is your dead body,
with no witnesses.
Eric notices his gun is on the floor, beside his foot.
KYLE
Do you have any last words before I
paint the walls with your blood?
ERIC
Well…At least I can go down, knowing
who tried to kill me.
Eric drops down to the ground, avoiding the bullet shot.
Scooping up his gun, Eric fires the final shot at Kyle,
7. 7.
killing him as he falls back into a chair that was positioned
behind him. Eric attempts to get up the the stairs but
slouches against the wall with no energy left in him.
Covering his grazed arm, Eric closes his eyes.
INT. ERIC’S HOUSE - MORNING
Eric wakes up to the daylight. Eric patches himself up, drags
the corpses into his store room, scrubs the bloodstained
floor, puts his gun back above the wardrobes, and throws away
the other guns in a plastic bag. Eric then heads for his
front door, collecting his phone and keys.
EXT. ERIC’S HOUSE - MORNING
As Eric walks along the pavement, he takes out his former gun
from his pocket.
Begin Flashback:
INT. VICTIM’S HOUSE - NIGHT
Eric shoots the victim on the head. Eric places his gun in
the victim’s hands, before taking his latex gloves off, and
heads towards the front door. Kyle comes out of hiding and
comes to the victim. He gets a good look at Eric’s face.
KYLE
How could you!?
Kyle takes the gun from the Victim’s hand, pointing it to
where Eric had once been. Kyle looks back at the gun with
vengeance, before tucking it into his pocket.
Begin Flash forward:
EXT. THE PAVEMENT - MORNING
Eric analyses his gun. He gives a murderous smile, before
tucking it back into his pocket. His phone suddenly rings.
Stopping by a lamp, Eric answers the call.
ERIC
Hello…? Yes… You have a new job for
me…? Where…? I was actually heading in
that direction. Guess I’m making a
detour… Have my money ready by the
time I have your target eliminated.
Eric hangs up. He pulls his gun out of his pocket, and slides
it back in. Putting on a pair of sunglasses, Eric casually
