Scene 1

The Corridor

AGENT 1 and AGENT 2 are walking down a corridor. Other employees are busying themselves with papers, answering phones and tapping on computers. AGENT 1 is worried about seeing THE BOSS as this is her first job. AGENT 2 is more confident as she is more experienced.

AGENT 2
I’m nervous.

AGENT 1
Don’t be.

AGENT 2 gives AGENT 1 a doubtful look.

(THE VICTIM is seen vaulting a fence and carries on running.)

AGENT 1 decides to reassure AGENT 2

AGENT 1
We know everything went down the way it had to. Nothing will happen to us.

AGENT 2
But…but. The other guys…. They were telling me stuff.

AGENT 1 looks at AGENT 2 confused.

AGENT 1
Stuff?

AGENT 2
Y’know…stuff. Like what he does to people if they don’t get a job done. Y’know…the beheading… the disappearing… the electrocuting in a dark room surrounded by robot rats!!!

AGENT 1
The Henry the Eighth style execution?

AGENT 1 laughs quietly to herself. AGENT 2 stops with big eyes; believing AGENT 1.

(Point of view shot of VICTIM running.)

AGENT 2
Henry the Eighth?

AGENT 1 walks into an over the shoulder shot (ready for shot reverse shot), smiling evilly to herself. She nods at AGENT 2, teasing her. AGENT 1 talks jokingly with a smile.

AGENT 1
Yeah! The gutting, the eating your insides, the burning. The whole shebang!

AGENT 2 looks terrified. She gulps.

AGENT 2
Really? Does he really do that to you?

AGENT 1’s smile disappears to s serious face; an incident coming to mind.

AGENT 1
There was that one guy… But nothing to worry your pretty little head about. Come on.

AGENT 1 walks off. AGENT 2 is hesitant but follows, less enthused than before.

THE BOSS
Is it done?

AGENT 1
Yes, Sir, it’s done. A clean job; Done and Dusted.

THE BOSS
Good.

There is silence. AGENT 1 turns to look at AGENT 2 as if THE BOSS has implied a question of AGENT 2s expression. AGENT 2 looks at AGENT 1. AGENT 2 and AGENT 1 look at THE BOSS.

REVEAL.
