Task 5 The Script: Subject: X - Script

FADE IN

Ext. St. Editha’s church graveyard – dusk

Everything is quiet and peaceful. Birdsong in the background. All gets disturbed as Subject: X run past the camera followed by chaser. Cuts to voice.

VOICE         Have you got the data cell?

Subject: X    Of course, why do you think I’m bloody running? I need an escape route.

VOICE         Right away. Take a left here!


Subject: X follows instructions. Music intensifies.

Subject: X    Now where?

VOICE         What? I can’t hear you! Someone’s tapping into the line!

Subject: X is backed into a corner by Chaser. Chaser raises gun.
Instant to black as gunshot rings out. Title screen.
Dialogue of VOICE calling out to Subject: X over the top.

VOICE         X! Come in X! Can you hear me?


Black screen disappears leaving title on screen still over the top of the camera footage for a few more seconds. Roll opening credits over the top of footage.

Int. Landau Forte Medical Room (Hospital)

Subject: X lies comatose on hospital bed. Chaser is in the room already, sat in chair in the corner.

Doc Enters. Audience sees the top of the head of Subject: X, then the focus changes to the Doc as she entered.


Doc           So this… is Subject: X. Was the data cell damaged?

Chaser        It’s still intact

Doc           Good, so it still functions?

Chaser        Yes 

Doc           Now all we have to deal with is Subject: X.

Over shoulder view of Doc looking at Subject: X


Chaser        I’ve got the perfect idea

Doc           Fill me in later, I need to run some diagnostics on him.

Chaser        Sounds good

FADE OUT
FINISH
