LONG SHOT OF HEAVY LOOKING DOOR.

ZOOMS INTO DOOR KNOB.

FAINT MUSIC CAN BE HEARD FROM INSIDE

DOOR OPENS

MUSIC BECOMES CLEARLY HEARD NOW

INSIDE IS REVEALED TO BE A DARKLY LIT STUDY

THE CAMERA CONTINUES TO MOVE SLOWLY OVER SMALL DETAILS OF THE STUDY. (HEAVY LOOKING BOOKS, PENS AND PIECES OF PAPER EVEYWHERE)

THE CAMERA STOPS AT A MAN AT A WRITING DESK.

HIS BACK TO US.

HE IS YOUNG. MALE. DARK HAIR.

HE APPEARS TO BE WRITING.

[IN THE CORNER OF THE DESK THE AUDIENCE CAN SEE A LARGE CAT STATUE]

CUTS TO MEDIUM CLOSE UP OF HIS FACE

A LOOK OF CONCENTRACTION UPON HIS FACE. HE ALSO LOOKS WORRIED.

HE LOOKS UP SUDDENLY AND JUMPS THEN TURNS AROUND IN HIS CHAIR AND SMILES.

[IN A RELAXED MANOR]

Oh it’s only you. What are you still doing up?

[LOOKS CONFUSED FOR A MOMENT THEN IN A TEASING VOICE]

You going out somewhere?

[HE SUDDENLY BECOMES FEARFULL.]

HE IS THEN HIT IN THE FACE WITH SOMETHING HEAVY

THE ATTACKER MOVES IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA BLOCKING THE VIEW FOR THE AUDIENCE [THE ATTACKER IS WEARING A LARGE BLACK CAPE- AUDIENCE UNABLE TO TELL IF MALE OR FEMALE
