FADE IN:
1 INT.MOLLY'S LIVING ROOM-DAY
JACK stares blankly at MOLLY from his position on the
sofa,watching her mess around with equipment off camera.
There is noise of shuffling as she moves around.
JACK
Can you tell me why you're recording
this? Or what we're even doing?
MOLLY
I've got a proposal.
JACK
Which is?
The shuffling noises stop as MOLLY settles, stopping her
movements to talk to JACK.Taking a moment to gather her
bearings and beginning to speak.
MOLLY
I heard a rumor that this shady person
hangs around in a cemetery nearby,
imagine how many views we'd get online
if we visited that place and caught
something on camera.
JACK
You realise how much danger we would
be in if we run into them right?
MOLLY
What are the odds of us actually being
there at the same time though? They
have to leave at some point.
JACK
There are so many things that can go
wrong ... but ok fine I'll do it. Just
promise me if things get too much
we'll leave. How do you want to film
this then, what will we do with the
footage?

MOLLY
We go to the place Friday next week,
maybe around midday or afternoon, have
a look around and hopefully we'll run
into something interesting to catch on
camera.Because you're paranoid, i
promise that if we run into anything
out of our depth we'll leave. If we
catch something on camera, I'll post
it online and give you credit too.
JACK
We better see something interesting,
otherwise it's a waste of time.
MOLLY
Worst case scenario we walk out of
there empty handed and move on with
our lives.By the end of this we might
not even have that..
2 EXT.GRAVEYARD-DAY
The ambient sounds of the two teenagers walking through the
graveyard can be heard, they travel down a path and head
towards a desolate chapel. Surrounding them is a mixture of
trees and gravestones. JACK takes a moment to make a
sarcastic remark.
JACK
Well this isn't ominous at allll.
MOLLY
It's fitting, they are a criminal
after all.
A faint figure appears in the background of the chapel, the
two teenagers don't notice, too caught up in their brief
conversation.

3 EXT.GRAVEYARD-DAY
The two teenagers wander through the graveyard, slowly
approaching a patch of trees. As they do they spot a barely
concealed duffel bag, holding numerous papers and a concealed
weapon. They hesitantly search through, breaking out of their
shock to begin a conversation.
MOLLY
This is evidence, a bag full of
incriminating evidence.
JACK
Are you finally ready to admit that
this is a bad idea?
MOLLY
Yeah... i don't think we should be
around here. If the criminal is here..
and we're found with this
evidence...we could be hurt.
JACK
lets at least take the bag with us, we
can bring it to the police.
MOLLY picks up the bag and the two begin to walk away.
4 EXT.GRAVEYARD-DAY
In the distance a figure slowly appears hunched over, the two
quickly acknowledge their presence and make a feeble attempt
to hide. A hushed conversation begins.
MOLLY
It's them.. they're here.
JACK
I doubt this will end well, if they
see us with this bag... it's obvious
we're in trouble.
The figure turns towards the two.

5.EXT.DARK PATHWAY-NIGHT
The heavy breath can be heard from JACK and MOLLY as they
attempt to hide, looking at THE CRIMINAL slowly walking
towards them.
JACK
We can't keep running, its been hours.
We need to get out of here.
MOLLY
Or at least away from them...it's the
bag that's weighing me down.
Unsurprisingly its hard to run with a
big duffel bag.
JACK looks anxiously behind him, towards THE CRIMINAL who has
stopped approaching them. Standing eerily a short distance
away.
JACK
I know... but it's full of evidence...
we need to take it to the police. For
now lets run.
MOLLY
I hate it when you're right...I'll
keep holding it. Lets ditch the
camera, no viral video is worth this.
JACK
Viral videos aren't worth us dying.
MOLLY drops the camera. The two teenagers run off camera, the
faint sound of their running can be heard. THE CRIMINAL
begins moving again, slowly approaching the camera.
CUT TO BLACK.
