1 EXT. ALLEY WAY - NIGHT
JACK walks down the alley way cautiously, looking around
him and aware of his space. He is breathing heavy and looks
extremely nervous, until he hears a rustle in a bush and
suddenly stops- staring where the sound came from.
JACK
Hello?
After thinking it was nothing, he starts to slowly walk on.
Suddenly GUARD 1 comes from behind him- holding a
handkerchief to his mouth with JACK instantly falling
unconscious. GUARD 1 reaches into JACK’S pocket – and also
turns on his phone. He holds a large diamond to the sky,
looking at it through the light.
GUARD 1
BOSS. I’ve got it. I really can’t see anyone stopping us
now…
2 INT. HITMAN’S HOUSE - DAY
A student in his early adult years sits on his desk which
is covered in rubbish and paperwork, he is also eating fast
food. He gets a text from his bank, saying that he has no
remaining money and is now in overdraft. He goes onto his
laptop and searches for jobs near him, but no results come
up. He looks stressed and has his hands on his head- until
he enters the dark web. He finds a job offer for a hitman-
£500,000, and it says no experience required. He eagerly
calls the phone number.
HITMAN
Hello, I saw the add. I’m up for it. Tell me everything I
need to know.
The voice on the other end of the line is muffled, but the
hitman notes down the necessary information on a notepad.

HITMAN (Cont.)
No, I have no experience.
So… He has hurt your son and stole he a £13 Million diamond
off of him?
All right, I will be there.
3 EXT. Graffitied Alley way - DAY, CLOUDY
There is a black bag that the contractor left the hitman in
an alleyway. The hitman approaches it and cautiously opens,
to reveal some items key for his upcoming challenges. A
firearm, which he carefully looks at before attempting to
fire but it being left on safety, but he still almost
shoots himself with it. A small glass pod that contains a
single pill. The hitman carefully inspects it, reads a
small note that was on it.
HITMAN
Performance enhancer… take at least 30 minutes before it is
required.
He puts it in his pocket and continues to look through the
bag, where he finds another folded up piece of papers, he
opens it up to find a picture, of the rumoured location of
where his targets are known to stay. There is little
information about it, due to it being such a dangerous
place to go.
4 EXT. Abaddon’s Hideout - DAY
The HITMAN arrives at the location he believes Abaddon is,
but just before he’s about to kick the door through he
remembers the performance enhancer, he takes it out of his
pocket and quickly take it – instantly feeling dizzy and
lightheaded. He proceeds to kick the door down
INT. Abaddon’s Hideout (KITCHEN) - DAY
HITMAN confidently opens the door, but instantly falls to
the floor and looks ill – sweating as well as his face
looking red. There was a guard watching as he entered, who
is just looking at him in shock whilst stirring a cup of
tea – as he entered the hideouts kitchen. The guard comes
up to him and kicks him in the face, and HITMAN instantly
blacks out.
5 INT. Abaddon’s hideout (BATHROOM) - DAY
HITMAN wakes up to see two guards splashing his face with
water, in an attempt to wake him up. HITMAN is looking weak
and helpless with the ringing in his ear, caused by the
performance enhancer still in the back of his head.
GUARD 1
(Sarcastically) OOO, He looks scary
GUARD 2
So. What are you here for?
GUARD 1
You messed with the wrong people
GUARD 2
(Stares at the HITMAN) Abaddon’s going to love this one,
look at his little suit, what are going to do? Advise me on
my mortgage?
The Hitman is slowly blinking and still seems very dazed-
and can hardly speak, he attempts to speak but can’t seem
to get the words out.
GUARD 1
Shall we just kill him now?
GUARD 2
The boss will want to, let’s go show him
7 INT. Hallway - DAY
The two GUARDS drag the HITMAN by his legs, leading to
Abaddon, who is sitting down on a chair at the top of the
hallway He is fiddling with a gun and seems to feel
unthreatened by the HITMAN. He stands above the HITMAN who
seems to serve no threat to him. GUARDS 1 and 2 Leave the
two for a private convocation.
4.
Abaddon
Hahaha, and strong man, eh? Guards, go make my tea. I’ll
talk to my friend here.
The HITMAN still looks unresponsive, looking at the floor
and refusing to make eye contact with ABADDON. ABADDON
pulls a sniper bullet out of his pocket, and goes closer to
the HITMAN to show him it
ABADDON
You don’t want to do the talking, eh? You know how easy it
is having this put through your skull? You know how many
people I’ve done it too before, don’t you? Now, boy. Tell
me why you have come. No lies please, I already know.
Abaddon smiles but this quickly turns into a look of anger
as he receives no response for the HITMAN who still looks
in pain and dizzy
ABADDON
Well, I guess you leave me with no choice
ABADDON puts his pistol to the face of the HITMAN who
starts breathing heavily. His face gets red and a sweat
continues which causes ABADDON to panic.
ABADDON cont.
GUARDS!!!
The HITMAN’s heavy breathing continues as he breaks out of
his restrains and the performance enhancer kicks in. He takes
his firearm out of pocket and aims at Abaddon, but a guard
quickly rushes in as ABADDON flees outside the building.
GUARD 1 quickly comes to look but cannot see him and before
he can think the hitman comes behind him- strangling him with
a wire, so hard it cuts his neck. This was the first time the
HITMAN has killed anyone so looks shocked but has little time
to think as GUARD 2 rushes out firing his rifle. The HITMAN
quickly drops to the floor and fires his gun but misses his
bullets. GUARD 2 kicks the HITMANs leg and makes him fall to
the ground, where he takes the upper hand as the hitman seems
nervous. The scene ends with the GUARD looking to gun buck
the hitman with the rifle.
8 EXT. ABADDONS HIDEOUT (OUTSIDE) - DAY
What seems to be a GUARD runs out the hideout door,
celebrating. He is jumping up and down and having his hands
in the air- looking really happy and accomplished.
HITMAN (Dressed as guard)
ABADDON (who was covering behind a bush) falls for it,
celebrating with what he thinks is the guard- He is also
celebrating with his fists in the air. The two meet with a
firm handshake.
ABADDON
I had no doubts my boy, well done
How shall we celebrate?
The HITMAN swipes the legs of ABADDON putting him onto the
floor, the HITMAN quickly takes off the guard’s mask and
reveals himself- with ABADDON looking shocked as the hitman
stands above him- the contrast to their first meeting
HITMAN
I will celebrate like this.
The HITMAN pushes ABADDON shoots ABADDON once behind his
ear.

9. INT. CAR - DAY
The HITMAN quickly picks up his phone to tell he contractor
that the Hit is complete.
HITMAN
It is done. You’ve got your revenge; I hope your son is
recovering. Diamond? Nope, I honestly didn’t see it
anywhere, I think he must have many hideouts – could have
been sent somewhere safer. Cool, I will let you know when I
receive the payment.
The HITMAN sees the phone notification come through – he
has received the £500,000 payment. He can’t help but laugh.
He then pulls out the diamond from the pocket, revealing he
did indeed find it, and after the contractor revealed its
worth, the HITMAN saw no benefit to returning it. The
hitman holds the diamond in the sun, not being able to hold
back his laughter as he drives away.
FIN.
