2. FADE IN:
INT. THE HOUSE - THE BEDROOM — DAY
There is a text notification sound effect as the camera
focuses in a close up on our main character of the story.
GHOST 27, an assassin, (he is very young and ambitious
with great potential in the assassination business.
Perfection is everything for him).
He slowly opens his eyes as he reaches for the phone to
check out the message. The medium shot changes focus from
GHOST to the cellular device as he reaches for it. As
GHOST reaches for the cellular device, we see him read
the text message.
GHOST
(voice over)
Perfection. A perfect plan doesn't
involve everything going within
expectations.
The wide shot shows GHOST do his bedding with precise
detail. The close up shows him iron out the wrinkles on
the sheets on his bed. The tracking shot follows him as
he goes to clean up his working space next to his bed.
GHOST
(voice over)
No kids. No women. Simply my code.
Rest…just a target. There are
people out there who have no
moral. Not me.
The close up focuses on a collection of pens in a
straight line but see one of the pens out of position.
GHOST picks up the pen, snaps it in half and throws it in
the bin.
GHOST
(voice over)
A perfect plan is achieved when it
has the plasticity needed to
flexibly deal with the unforeseen.
INT. THE HOUSE - KITCHEN - DAY
The camera follows GHOST into the kitchen walking through
the hallway. We focus on a bouquet on the table, a
collection of a beautiful and healthy group of flowers.
Then we focus on one of the leaves with a bad spot.
3. ! .2
The close up focuses GHOST pick up a pair of scissors and
cut the whole steam off and throws it in the bin.
GHOST
(voice over)
Being the perfect assassin is not
about killing the target and
leaving without getting caught,
it’s about killing the target
where they would suffer to their
death and removing every single
trace. No sign. No trace. That’s
perfection.
The tracking shot follows GHOST leaving his house to get
to the gym. The close up focus on him putting on his
shoes and leaving the slippers near the door in a
straight and very tidy way.
CUT TO BLACK:
INT. GYM - DAY
The screen remains black as some noise of fists hitting a
boxing bag is heard. The screen then cuts to a close up
as we see GHOST training in the gym for his next
execution.
The camera changes focus from GHOST training to his
cellular device as he receives a call from the HIERARCHY.
We slowly track him reaching for his cellular device.
HIERARCHY is the main organisation. (GHOST works for as
an assassin. We don't know anything about the HIERARCHY.
All we know about the organisation is that it has a
collection of assassins that work for them.)
GHOST
When and where?
HIERARCHY
(over the phone)
Tomorrow. Don’t care how it is
done. Needs to be done by 6pm.
GHOST
Consider it done.
The tracking shot follows GHOST as he leaves the gym with
a tracking shot through the doors.

INT. OFFICE - NIGHT
The close up focuses on GHOST standing and looking
outside the window as he waits for a phone call. The
camera slowly tracks towards GHOST standing.
GHOST
(voice over)
Perfection. Perfection.
Perfection. There’s a limit to
everything in the world expect
perfect.
The camera focuses on the cellular device as it starts to
ring. The camera then changes into a medium shot as it
focuses on GHOST talking to NICKEL
NICKEL is GHOST’s “manager”. (No one knows what his real
name is or who is in real life. GHOST has never seen
NICKEL in real life.)
NICKEL (O.S)
(over the phone)
Did you receive the information?
GHOST
Yes.
NICKEL (O.S)
(over the phone)
Do you know what you're doing?
GHOST
Yes. When and where?
NICKEL (O.S)
(over the phone)
Tomorrow. At the school. Done by
6PM.
GHOST
Consider it done.
GHOST puts down his cellular device and the camera
focuses on the target’s picture as GHOST proceeds to mark
it. The camera cuts to a side angle of GHOST laughing as
he has figured out his plan of attack.

FADES IN:

We see the TARGET walking upstairs as the camera follows
the him to his classroom.
The camera focuses on the TARGET walking inside his
classroom as he sits down to call his wife
INT. TARGET’S CLASSROOM - DAY/AFTERNOON
The camera focuses on the TARGET as he takes out his
cellular device to call his wife to talk about his day at
the school.
TARGET
Hi honey!
TARGET
Yeah he did great. I think he
really enjoyed himself.
*Phone starts to cut
off*
TARGET
Hello?
During this conversation the other side of the
conversation is not heard to audiences.
The camera then changes to a medium shot of the TARGET
walking outside of the class to get some paper for work.
INT. OUTSIDE CLASSROOM - AFTERNOON/EVENING
The camera changes to a POV shot of the TRAGET walking
towards the classroom with some paper for work.
INT. INSIDE CLASSROOM - AFTERNOON/EVENING
The camera cuts to a medium shot of the TRAGET as he
walks inside the class. The camera then changes to a
different medium shot of GHOST as he proceeds to pull the
trigger to kill the TARGET.
The camera slowly pans away from the TARGET as we hear a
gunshot and see a splatter of blood on the window blinds.
6. ! .5
The camera then cuts to GHOST packing up the body of the
TRAGET as someone opens the door behind GHOST.
The camera then changes the focus to the KID, Nephew of
the TARGET, as we see the terror in his eyes.
CUTS TO BLACK:
GHOST
(voice over)
Being the perfect
assassin isn’t about getting a few
kills and go on about your day,
its about whether you are willing
to break your moral to keep the
streak going.
