1. Snatched Script
INT. MORNING
In a white South Ken Drawing room a tearful Sophia is
pleading with her Father to let her go out.
SOPHIA
I want to go outside on my own
ILYA
No! I’ve told you!
SOPHIA
But why? I want to feel like a normal girl
– like all my friends
ILYA
I’ve told you before we can’t just go to the shops –
we’re not like everyone else, there are… people Sophia
who are not our friends. Patricia what can I do?
PATRICIA
Well Sir – I’m sure we can think of something…
The telephone rings. Ilya picks it up.
ILYA
Ilya Brodksi speaking…
CUT TOA mobile phone held up to the side of a man’s face
in shadow only his lips visible from side angle.
DIMITRI
Listen very carefully…
CUT BACK TO
ILYA
Who is this?
CUT TO
DIMITRI
You will find out soon enough.
I have a gun trained on you.
(ILYA sees a red laser dot which moves to his forehead)
If you do not co-operate I will kill you...

2. CAMERA PULLS BACK to reveal DIMITRI looking through
binoculars at ILYA’s house just with a laser pen.
ILYA motions to PATRICIA and pressing the mute button on
his phone says
ILYA
Patricia quick get the driver,
take SOPHIA and drive her to the safe place.
PATRICIA grabs a startled SOPHIA
PATRICIA
Come on we must go.
SOPHIA
Daddy?
ILYA
Shush my little babooshka –
everything will be all right…
(he returns to the phone call)
I am listening…
ILYA looks pale as he nods and listens to the demands.
TO dramatic music SOPHIA and PATRICIA flee the house.
DIMITRI watches them flee from his hidden vantage point.
ILYA sweats on phone.
THE CHAUFFEUR opens the car door and bustles them in and
slams the door.
As the car pulls off. PATRICIA opens her phone, smiles
strangely at the CHAUFEEUR and sends a text as she
strokes SOPHIA’S HAIR. Text reads. “One down. One to go.”
CUT TO DIMITRI on the phone to ILYA as the second mobile
goes and he reads PATRICIA’S text.
SOPHIA screams and climbs into the back window
SOPHIA
Daddy, daddy!
PATRICIA
Don’t worry my darling.
I’ll take care of everything.
