- 2. Harinder Hunjan Final Draft Done Black. Eerie Slow paced music Music Starts; Fade in (POV) shot: EXT. Road Night: (Grand detached, four bedroom house occupied by a wealthy middle class, sophisticated family. The house is very clean with large, pristine windows. The garden is floristry like, very neat with vivid green grass – the house is elegantly pruned – a dream to the rest of society) DCI JONES is sitting in a blacked out car watching every movement within number 13. (POV) JONES examines the house, writing down notes on a notepad picking up minute details. JONES watches the pitch black door with iron engraved knockers (slow zoom into door) Family pull into the drive way, JONES waits until they enter the house and drives off in the opposite direction. JONES watches the house over a period of weeks from different angles of the home to ensure that he didn‟t miss anything – he changes from walking to driving to reduce any suspicions – nobody knew he even existed. Fades to: EXT. (2 weeks later) Road Sunset: Jones walks past the house, drops a piece of paper onto the floor. He bends down glaring at the house; He can see movement from the family in the house. Jones stands up, brushes himself off and walks on – Jotting down something onto a small, leather note pad. (He couldn‟t let anything get past him or he would fail!) EXT. (1 month later) Road Middle of the Night: (Dark, cold winters night – rain) Jones gets dropped off at the end of the street. He puts his umbrella up and walks frantically past the house – taking quick glimpses when he could.
- 3. Harinder Hunjan Final Draft Done (There is a light on in one of the rooms down stairs in the house, but the curtains are covering the windows upstairs) Ext. Jones Bedroom Afternoon: Jones frantically looks through his notes and looks through his photos of the family and the house. He starts jotting down key times – (what time the family go out, the night they left to longest – which was Friday.) He starts packing a bag putting items into it (A gun, gaffer tape, gloves and rope) The clock turns 8 (slow zoom into alarm clock) and Jones leaves to make his move. Ext. Road Dusk: Jones stands down a dark, overgrown ally, glaring at the house waiting. Lights start to get turned off in the house and after a few minutes the family appear to come out of the front door and into their car and drive off. Jones lurked for a few minutes, and then he starts to walk secretively over to the house. Ext. On the property Dust: (Families house is very clean, and pruned. The house is well cleaned and exquisite to look at.) Jones paces around the perimeter of the family‟s house searching for an easy way in and then he saw it, a downstairs window left slightly open. Jones hesitates for a moment as he questions why it was too easy, but he dismisses the thought and climbs straight in. Int. Inside the house Dusk: As Jones climbed in, his adrenaline pumps and it takes him a few seconds to compose himself – he turns around and looks out the window – questioning whether he was ready to complete the task. (Jones is standing in a grand suite bedroom; everything is very tidy and kept in place.) Jones starts rummaging through the wardrobes, draws, baskets just trying to find something significant – but nothing just clothes, shoes and toiletries. He couldn‟t waste any time, so he moved on.
- 4. Harinder Hunjan Final Draft Done Int. Childs bedroom Night: (The house is mainly magnolia and is decorated sophisticatedly, with natural colours and nothing out of place.) Jones delves through the child bedroom searching breathing heavily – looking through the wardrobes, chucking items everywhere. Int. Hallway Night: As Jones scrutinizes the house he notices a dark, shadow in the corner of the room. He slowly edges towards it, realising that it is a passageway. Jones stops abruptly as he smells a vile odour – damp and mould. Jones composes himself and sluggishly edges his way down the dark, damp passageway. As jones saunters down the passageway it gets darks with lights disappearing behind him, he realises that it leads down under the ground. After reaching the top of the staircase he stands their paralysed with his skin turning colourless, he smelt raw flesh and blood. (Jones‟s legs started to pulsate as he felt his blood pressure rising and a lump started to fill his throat.) Jones swallowed deeply and gently started to climb down the stair case. Int. Basement Night: (Jones fought to stand on his feet as he lethargically climbed down the staircase as they were wet and grimy.) Jones abruptly stopped as a luminous red light filled the walls around him – Jones through his arms in front of his face to shield him from the bright light. Jones was now standing at the bottom of the staircase, horrified with the sight around him. He had a trepidatious gait as he went into the basement, he was terrified with the sight around him – dentistry like chair with strong restraints smothered in deep claret blood, the place was full of it. Jones closed his eyes and whispered „god help me.‟ Jones slowly brushed passed a mirror and let out a monstrous yelp, he was covered in other peoples blood! Jones never dreamed of this as he entered through the window which felt like a distant memory – he was not deep under the house in a torture chamber.
- 5. Harinder Hunjan Final Draft Done Int. Basement Night: (On each wall in the basement were tools: chainsaws, knives, ropes, syringes all hung around – Jones was imagining people stuck, isolated in the basement with a house full of murderers.) Jones had to now block out his emotions in order to finish the job – he took a deep breath to compose himself and carried on. (At the far end of the basement laid a map smothered with pictures pinned against the image. Jones started to walk over to the map and as he gets closer he starts to realise red crosses on some of the image – but distressingly they were written in blood. The map showed the people in the pictures addresses – their homes where their family were. The people in the picture were those killed, targeted by the family. They had annotations ‟24 year old lives in canapé gardens‟ „9 year old walks dog in Columbia Park.‟ Suddenly, Jones emotions come flooding back to him, tears pour down jones face as he let out a yelp. Jones had seen himself pinned up in one of the images annotated with „He is watching us.‟ (Jones was there next target) Jones frantically searched through his pockets looking for his phone. Something fell onto the floor, he looked down to discover it was his DCI badge. (Jones was a high profile DCI police officer hired by the government to investigate the family to order an arrest.) Jones had found his phone and tried calling for emergency backup, but it wouldn‟t connect. He had no signal he was too far underground in a bunker. Car pulls up back in the drive; Family started to filter out of the car and walk up the drive; Jones hysterically tried to get signal but everything he tried wasn‟t working, instead he sent a text just in case he found any signal… Cuts to: Int. Downstairs hallway Night: Family enter the house leaving their shopping at the bottom of the stairs as they took off their coats and shoes. The mother and father head straight into the kitchen to pack away their shopping as the kids run into the front room switching the television on.
- 6. Harinder Hunjan Final Draft Done Cuts to: Int. Basement Night: Jones vigilantly climbs up the stairs to try and escape before the family realises. As he gradually gets higher he can hear the family‟s movements downstairs more sensitively hearing the speech and them closing cupboards. Jones miraculously reaches the top of the stairs, he is nearly able to escape then… He escapes out the door and fumbles over, knocking a vase. The family had now discovered they had a visitor in their house. Without hesitation, he runs back down into the basement. He goes in and hides. Cuts to: Int. Top of basement Night: The mother and father suddenly stare at each other looking deviously. Abruptly they scurry towards the basement door and cautiously open it. Cuts to: (Top of basement stairs, a bright light is shone down) Fade to black;
