FADE IN:
MORNING. SUNLIGHT SHINING THROUGH THE TREES
EXT.1: STREET
A man STANDING on a street corner, dressed in shirt and trousers talking to a friend, dressed in grey.
We do not hear the conversation. A ringtone is heard. The man takes a phone out of his pocket and
looks at it a little too long. He puts the PHONE back in his pocket, says goodbye to his friend and
walks off down the street. An UNSEEN MAN wearing a black hoodie with the hood up and jeans
watches him walk away. MUSIC: No music until shot of man watching, in which the music is
suspenseful.

MAN: (Voiceover narration)
Look, it’s difficult to explain. I get a message from a man with no name about something I can’t
discuss. So where does that leave us? (Sighs) I’ll start from the beginning. That’s me on the left – no
idea that destiny has just crapped the fate of the universe onto my iPhone.
EXT. 2: ALLEYWAY, SAME MORNING
The man PAUSES halfway up the alley and senses behind him the unseen man. He then
continues WALKING. MUSIC: Suspense music continues, pauses when the man senses his
presence and then continues.
EXT. 3: STREET, A FEW MINUTES LATER
The man is walking up the street, with the unseen man following behind on the other side of
the street. On his face is an expression of conflict like an internal battle. He seems to reach a
decision and STOPS. Over his shoulder, we see the unseen man approaching, still on the
other side of the road until he is level with the man. They face each other, one in light, one’s
face in shadow. Suddenly, after the build up and music has reached a climax, a car whips by
and he disappears. The man’s face grows somehow darker, as if he knows what must
happen now. He crosses the road and walks into the tunnel which suddenly grows dark and
the screams echo around the area.
