Script

1.  INT. MANSION – NIGHT.

   The blue, beaten back door swings back slamming, before reopening as the lock has been snapped.  The bright light from the living room can be seen from outside with the dark figure scavenging through the set of drawers.  As the owner and companions walk in making a noise, causing an outburst of emergency as the figure grabs the stolen goods before urgently making an exit through the open back door.

2.  EXT & INT. ABANDONED BARN – NIGHT.

   Breathing heavily, the figure finds cover inside an abandoned barn not far from the house.  Checking the items he has stolen, making sure there in tact before placing them back into his bag.  Working out how to get to the getaway car.  After mistakenly running the wrong way increasing the chance of being caught.  The bright light from the moon gives off enough light to show that people can be seen, through a small gap in the door, walking towards the barn.  Knowing being caught is not an option he makes a run for it, through an extremely tight squeeze around the back on the barn making sure he is not seen, and does not stop running towards the dark forest.     

3.  EXT. FOREST – NIGHT.

   Without stopping the darkened figure explodes into the forest, barging through the branches and bushes.  Panting heavily whilst constantly looking behind, reaching for his pistol for protection, carrying on walking through the forest.

4.  INT. GETAWAY CAR ON AN EMPTY QUIET ROAD – NIGHT.

   Three Italian mob members waiting outside the car, dressed smartly in black suits long coats, one wearing a black hat and the other two smoking Cuban cigars with jet-black hair.  With the head of the mob waiting inside the car, wearing a black suit and black tie, checking his bulky golden pocket watch. 

MOB BOSS

(Murmuring to himself angrily)

Where is he!

    

5. INT. MANSION – NIGHT.

   A large group gather round a large circular table back at the broken in Mansion.  Knowing who it was that broke in.

   They begin to set out revenge with the head, Leonardo also known as fingers giving out orders. 

FINGERS

(Angrily instructing the group)

   They took money, guns and jewellery and we know who they are, they must pay.  Get your guns!

   Fingers then slams his hands on the table before viciously standing up, pushing his chair backwards, then walking out of the room.  Leaving everyone around the table in an awkward silence.

6. EXT. TOP OF A HILL EDGE OF FOREST – NIGHT.

   The dark figure walks along the top of the hill sluggishly as his legs are tired.  He sits down on a rock and starts to drag a stick along the ground. Realising the ground is soft, easy to dig a hole.  He looks around before beginning to dig up a hole like a dog.  Wiping sweat from his head he looks over towards the bag and pauses for a few seconds before reaching for it and placing it into the hole.  Looking around again then refilling the hole back in.  He then stands up and pulls his white shirt over his face to clean it then becoming very dirty. Then begins to gather a group of small rocks creating a pile over where he has buried the bag.  He stares at the pile and then walks towards the edge of the hill where bright lights are seen at the bottom of the hill on the long quiet road.

7. EXT. CAR AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL – NIGHT.

   Casually looking around the three men turn towards the hill where a dark figure can be seen walking down.  The three men reach for there guns and quickly begin to walk towards the figure.  The light from the car allows the figure to see the three men approaching him with guns and urgently reacts.

FIGURE

(Shouting)

It’s me! It’s me, Carlo!

   The three men put down there guns and turn around back towards the car.  One man taps on the window, to the boss

MEMBER

(Annoyed)

He’s back

BOSS

(Begins to laugh)

   The three men then get back into the car and wait for Carlo to get in.

8. INT. INSIDE THE CAR – NIGHT.

   Carlo opens the door to an awkward silence sits down, slumps his head back, heavily breaths out and closes the door.  No one says anything for about 20 seconds, just a bit fidgety and a few coughs.

BOSS

(Sarcastically)

So, Carlo.  Why is your face so dirty?  What have you been doing?

CARLO

It didn’t go to plan boss

BOSS

(Loudly)

Could I see the goods?

CARLO

(Anxiously)

I don’t have them

BOSS

(Angrily)

WHAT!

   The driver then pulls off putting his headlights on full beam brightening up the dark empty road.

9. INT. BOSSES HOUSE – NIGHT.

   The car drives through the brightly lit streets full of late night bars with people standing outside and neon lights booming from windows.  The car then pulls up onto a driveway.  Carlo and the boss both walk through the door together.

BOSS

(Confused)

Wait so you buried them in the forest?

CARLO

(Pauses)

Yes

   The boss then slumps into his chair then stands back up before slumping back down, two men stand behind his chair with the other one standing by the front door.  The boss uses eye contact and head movement to tell Carlo to sit opposite him on the table.  Carlo then slowly sits down and waits for the boss to say something.  The boss stands up again, pours a glass of liquor, and puts his hands on the table and stares at Carlo.

BOSS

(Gritting his teeth)

You’re going to go and find them.  Now!

   The boss stays sitting around the table as the four men begin to leave.  One of the men open the door and the four of them including Carlo walk out towards the car, leaving the boss.  As the door closes the boss stays sitting calmly for 20 seconds.  Before releasing his anger by shouting, tipping his chair then throwing his glass against the wall where it smashes and leaves a wet stain on the wall.  The four men can hear him shouting from inside the car as the all act as if they haven’t heard him before driving off.  They pull out of the drive and turn left, on the right over the other side of the road a car with three men is waiting.  They wait until Carlo and the others make a turn then they begin to follow discreetly.

10. INT. INSIDE THE CAR – NIGHT.

   Carlo sitting in the back seat looks behind and notices lights from a car behind whilst on the road near the hill.  Before the road was empty making Carlo curious about the car behind them especially at this time.  The car is a few paces behind them but the road is long and straight so there is nowhere for them to go.

11. INT. BOSS’S HOUSE – NIGHT.

   The boss is sitting around the table quietly in his big chair.  More relaxed than before, just starring at the wall, still sense anger within him.

12. EXT. BOTTOM OF THE HILL – NIGHT.

   The car pulls over, just on the side of the road with one half of the car on the road and the other on the gravel at the side.  Carlo gets out first and looks up towards the hill then turns back and looks at the three men in the car.  They then get out the car too and walk round standing next to Carlo, the three men all hold the guns in there jackets.  The lights still left on the car, as it is pitch black.  Carlo then looks behind to see if the car is still behind them but cannot see the lights as he slowly walks back down the road where the car should be coming from.  But sees nothing.  Turns back and walk back towards the car and gets ready to walk up the hill.

13. EXT. FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD – NIGHT.

   The car that was following is shown pulled up on the side of the road with its lights off and the men inside are now walking off the road in the direction of Carlo.  They cannot be seen because of the dark and they’ve allowed themselves time as Carlo now believes the car that was behind them was not following them.  The three men walk the outskirt of the forest around towards Where Carlo’s car is.  The light from the car helps guide them.  All have pistols and can be seen holding them as they walk.  As they keep getting nearer one of them trips over a low hanging branch causing a sudden outburst of noise as the three then freeze where they are in case of being seen.

14. EXT. BACK TO CARLO- NIGHT.

   

   Carlo and the fellow three men look over to where the noise was and all stay still and quiet starring towards that area.  After 30 seconds Carlo begins to walk over to the hill. 

DRIVER

Come on now, just go and get it.

   Without thinking he starts to walk up the hill, after being urged to, he is unequipped without a gun and thinks nothing more of it.  He uses some trees to help pull him up the hill as some parts have loose ground making his feet slip.  When Carlo reaches the top and disappears into the forest, without him knowing, the three members he was with follow him up the hill.  Leaving the car at the side of the road with the lights still on.

15. EXT. MIDWAY UP THE HILL – NIGHT.

   The three members from the other gang are midway up the hill about 50 meters away from Carlo.  They are also slipping due to the lose service but manage to scramble to the top without making too much noise.  They then begin to walk to the left leading them to where Carlo is.  From here they then quietly walk taking cover behind trees once they first see Carlo, who is walking towards the pile of rock.  They then begin to approach Carlo, who is moving the rocks away from the hole where the goods are buried.  They then slowly pull out their pistols whilst slowly walking towards him.

16. EXT. IN THE FOREST – NIGHT.

   Carlo then begins to quickly shovel the dirt away from the hole using his hands finally seeing the top of the bag, which he pulls out from the remaining dirt.  Suddenly an extremely close gunshot goes of as Carlo urgently dives across the ground.  Before turning around to look who is there.  As he turns round he sees three of the rival gang standing off with his three men, who have just emerged through the trees.  It then quickly turns into a stand off whilst Carlo is still lying on the ground.  One gunshot goes off again before more follow as all are now shooting towards one and other.

ONE OF CARLO’S MEN

(Shouting)

Run Carlo!

   Carlo then begins to run, with the stolen goods, further into the forest away from the gunfire keeps looking behind him an almost stumbling as he sees bodies falling and shots still being fired.
