Opens to a shot inside a small
café/restaurant, it’s fairly busy but we’re focusing on a table in the center.
Two men are seated across from each other, face to face.
The first man is smart, his appearance is
of wealth, he wears a suit with a very traditional haircut, he’s sat up
straight, he means business. His intimidation fills the room.
The second is closer to a boy than a man;
he’s early 20’s and is uniformed in a hoody and jeans. Despite being in the
presence of the first man, he is suspiciously confident and calm. He too is
smart.
The first man, Alastair Franklin is sat
with a device of some kind (Laptop maybe) with the ability to input numbers, in
front of him. He wants Matthew Anderson to input the code, as he is the only
one who knows it. He tries intimidating Matt and a conversation ensues, Matt
claims to not know the code but its clear he does. He also claims he’s trying
to help people.
Alastair then declares that if he wants to
play the hard way, he can play the hard way. A suited man nearby talks over
comms ‘Bring him out’. A young man around the same age as Matt is forced out of
a back room and thrown on to a chair at the same table as Matt and Alastair. Alastair’s
men clear the café/restaurant. Matts face is shocked, as his best friend Thomas
Mann is right in front of him. Matt begins reassuring Tom that everything is
going to be okay, while Tom is freaking out, he tells Matt that they have Becca
(Matts Girlfriend). Alastair has one of his guys tie Tom’s right hand down to
the table, he gives Matt one more chance to input the code, Matt inputs a
random code that fails, calling Alastair’s bluff. It’s explained that
Alastair’s company handles a lot of the digital transfers of funds for banks
and large business; Matt has hacked the company and planned on transferring the
money to those who need it. Alastair has a sharp knife brought out to him. Matt
and Tom begin freaking out and Matt and Tom are both held down in their seats
by Alastair’s men, Alastair in one clean swipe, cuts off one of Tom’s fingers.
‘You got nine more chances before I run out of fingers’
Matt apologies again and again to Tom,
while Tom is almost collapses in shock from what’s happened. Matt begs Alastair
to stop and continues claiming he doesn’t know the code. He inputs a two more
codes in that don’t work to demonstrate it. Alastair pulls out a gun out of his
jacket and shoots Tom in the head.
Alastair’s men remove Tom’s body from the
room. Matt becomes angry with tears in his eye, screaming at Alastair. Matt
admits he knows the code and that it was his hack and plan, and how he’ll never
give it up because of people like him. Alastair suggests trying this again and
has Becca brought out and thrown down on the same chair as Tom. Matt begs for
her life. Alastair presses the gun against her head. Matt gives in and says
he’ll input the code. He puts the code
and it’s successful. This gives Alastair’s company back control to reverse the
hack. Alastair takes the device and his men, as well as Becca and starts to
leave. He takes Becca as insurance until the hack is completely reversed. Matt
argues and kicks up a fuss but is restrained by Alastair’s man. Matt manages to
take a gun from the man and shoots him in the stomach while hiding behind him,
as the rest of Alastair’s men turn around and open fire. Matt manages to jump
and hide behind a booth but is now trapped. He pulls out his phone and looks to
be hacking. All the lights in the café/restaurant (and maybe the block) turn
off. The blackout allows Matt to escape from the booth, and multiple gunshots
can be heard. The lights turn back on and everyone is dead except Matt, Becca
and Alastair. Alastair has Becca hostage with a gun pointing at her. Matt has a
gun pointing at Alastair. A conversation ensues about both of them walking away
but Alastair shoots Matt in the head and then shoots Becca dead as well. Sirens
can be heard in the background and Alastair walks out of the Café/Restaurant
and fleas the scene.
