Script
It was a dark night when CCTV caught two mysterious figures approaching a door to an
office. The taller character, STEVE BENNET, approaches the door first holding what looks
to be a key. The other man, PETE LANGLEY, watched and waited for the other character to
do something. The camera then zooms out to show a mysterious figure watching the feed.
Mysterious man: Hmmmmmmm.
Steve: Come on Pete, we need to get in here so we can find some evidence for what
happened.
Pete: I know but should we really be doing this?
Steve: Yes, we should. Oh come on, why is this key not working.
Pete: How about trying to apply a bit more pressure. That might do it.
Steve: So it did. Right, don’t make a lot of noise or it might trigger the alarm.
Pete: I found his computer.
Steve: Great. Oh wait, what could his password be?
Pete: Maybe it is his wife’s name... Um…. DAISY!
Steve: So it is. Right, we need to find anything that could explain why he was killed.
Pete: We don’t know if he was actually killed.
Steve: Come on. You and I both know that it wasn’t an accident. Someone obviously wanted
to make it look like he killed himself. The note. The pills. The knife. Come on, it’s all too good
to be true.
Pete sees an encrypted file called ‘Top Secret’.
Pete: Look, what’s that. It looks to be some sort of secret file.
Steve tries to open it but it doesn’t allow him.
Steve: Right, we can’t access it here. Pete, did you bring the memory stick.
Pete reaches into his pocket.
Pete: Here it is.
Steve plugs the memory stick into the computerand clicks a button.
Steve: Right. We have to make this quick and get out of here before anyone notices.
Steve takes the memory stick out of the computer and both of them head towards the
door.
Steve: Come on, hurry up. We need to get out of here!

Both of them exit the office and start walking to the entrance. Pete notices a vehicle
parked round the corner of the building.
Pete: Was that car there all the time we’ve been here.
Steve isn’t taking much notice of what Pete is saying.
Steve: It’s probably just someone working late. Don’t worry.
A car pulls up at the entrance and picks up Steve.
Steve: Are you sure we can’t give you a lift home. We don’t mind.
Pete: Don’t worry. My girlfriend will be here soon. See you tomorrow.
Steve approaches Pete and gives him a hug.
Steve: You stay safe and tell Kimmie I said hi and congratulations on the engagement.
Pete: Yes, I will. See you tomorrow at work.
Steve gets in the car and drives off. Then, the camera cuts back to the building where the
car was parked. As soon as they left, it’s headlights turned on and the engine started. The
camera then cuts to Steve in the car, trying to access the memory stick on his laptop. He
encrypts the file and finds a blank document so he opens it. Steve then sees a list of names
of people that work in the same organisation as him. He notices that there are names
crossed off and realises that the next name on the list is Pete’s name and it’s circled. Steve
attempts to phone Pete to warn him of any danger.
Steve: Come on, Pete. Pick up the phone. Pick up the bloody phone!!!
Steve: Come on, driver. Put a foot on it!
The camera cuts to Steve going down the road and the driver starts to talk.
Driver: Sorry, Steve. I can only drop you of here. Is that fine.
Steve quickly jumps out of the car.
Steve: Yes, that’s fine. Take the day of if you want.
Steve starts to walk down a dark alleyway whilst trying to phone Pete but he doesn’t pick
up. Steve starts to run until he reaches the end of the alleyway when he starts to hear a
car. He reaches the road and sees a car coming at some speed up the road. Steve then
realises that it’s the same car as the one that was in the car park. It then cuts to a slow
motion scene when Steve is looking at the car going passed. Steve then starts to run after
the car.
Steve: STOP.STOP. STOP THAT CAR!!
Steve carries on running after but the car is too fast and he ends up stopping. He then
picks up his phone that he dropped and immediately calls Pete’s girlfriend but she doesn’t
pick up either. Steve then immediately starts to run down the road, towards Pete’s house.

It then cuts to him approaching his house. He then realises that thee front door is already
open so he runs up to the door to inspect.
Steve: Pete. Pete. Are you here! Kimmie. Are you here.
Steve starts to walk in the house and sees a knife on the floor. He then runs to the lounge
door and opens the door. He then sees Pete on the floor, with what looks to be a blood
stain on his shirt.
Steve: Pete. Pete. Please wake up. Please wake up. Think about Kimmie. Think about your
future with her.
Pete does not respond to anything Steve says. Steve goes to pick up his home phone to call
the ambulance and suddenly hears a phone ringing. Steve looks around the lounge and
sees Pete’s phones ringing. He approaches it and sees that it is from ‘Unknown’. Steve
slowly picks up the phone.
Steve: H….H…. Hello. Hello. Who is this?!
Mysterious man: I know who you are and I know what you have done. You should’ve have
just listened to him. If you had listened to him, I would not have had to do what I did to him
but I had no choice.
Steve: Who are you are what do you want?!
The Mysterious man does not respond at first.
Steve: Well…. What do you want and why did you have to do that to him!?!
Mysterious man: You know what I want. I want the memory you stole. It contains
something that I would like back. If you do not give it back to me, then I will have no choice
but to hurt your precious Martha.
Steve: How do you know about Martha.
Mysterious man: I know a lot about you Steve Bennet. I will give you 24 hours to give it back
to you or I will hurt more people that are part of your life.
Steve: I will never give you the memory stick. I know that it was you who killed the other
employee and I will do everything in my power to prove that you killed both him and my
partner Pete.
Mysterious man: Well done for figuring it out. I had to silence him before he could say
anything. It was the same thing with you friend. You should’ve seen the pain he went
through when I stabbed him.
Steve: You better watch your back. I’m coming for you and I will never give up until you are
dead. You hear me… DEAD!!!
Mysterious man: …. Good luck.

The mysterious man puts the phone down abruptly. The screen then blacks out and all you
hear is dialogue from Steve in the future.
Steve: My life as you know it has changed. I can no longer spend afternoons with my family
because I am afraid that something would happen to my precious Martha. My family lives in
fear but I don’t! I will get to the bottom of this I will find out who the killer is?!?
