Script Possible title of film: Dealers Atonement

Premise: A drug dealer who had built his business to be worth millions tries to escape his past and lead a normal life after the police begin investigations, whilst a former associate head of a vicious cartel, orders his henchmen to murder Tom Longley. One of these is a young, ambitious psychopath (the focus henchman of our film) and a cat and mouse chase across England ensues. INT Spring electrical (an electrical wholesaler/ lighting-shop) Mid-afternoon Its mid-afternoon about 4:00pm with grey, gloomy overcast weather, inside the ironically-bleakly-lit-room of a lighting-shop. The lighting shop is situated next to a bustling bypass road/ dual carriageway, allowing for new customers and visitors at any time, with everybody going about their daily lives. The shop starts nearly empty, with the exception of the much organised and very experienced sales assistant/ cashier behind the till who, at the time, is having a conversation with her also present daughter, and a scruffy male teenager in dark grey smart trousers and a burgundy shirt is examining the products in a display room, which isnt visible for the entirety of the film. [Camera starts with a shot of the door, from the right side of display shelves, showing the grim and cloudy sky and the busy bypass road, slowly the camera starts to move backwards through the shop as a dolly shot in a one point perspective] Voiceover of man: If you look at me My car my house my family my money and you told me that what you saw was a stainless man who got lucky, Im not proud - but youd be wrong. (Background conversation) Sales assistant: - I should be back home about 7 to cook you dinner if thats okay? Daughter: Oh no thanks mum, thats fine, Im just gonna run home cos its raining, are we going to nans on Sunday?

Sales assistant: It doesnt look as if its about to get any brighter does it darling! Yeah, yeah we should be there about 2-ish? See you in a bit. Daughter: Bye mum. (Daughter takes product and walks down the right aisle and out of the shop, walking past the camera) [Camera has made it across the right aisle and to the end of the shelves, and dollies over to the left side of the shelves, facing across the left aisle to the window now to the left side of the door, in a one point perspective shot again] Voiceover of man: All that I built is now crumbling, and I turn away without looking back. (Teenager walks into the main area from the display room and kneels onto the floor to examine products unenthusiastically) Voiceover of man: But others cant and they wont. And theyre coming. (sales assistant shifting her attention to young man leant down) Sales assistant: Can I help you sir? [The camera cuts to behind teenagers shoulder, showing the sales assistant for the first time] (He turns to the assistant, before getting up and walking slowly towards the counter) Teenager: I think so. (He Smiles sinisterly for a second and lays hand onto till) [A medium two shot taken from one side of the till, showing the pair on the opposite sides] Teenager:

Could you just tell me what you know about this man? (Teenager throws photograph onto till) (Shop assistant looks down, shaking her head, gulping) Shop assistant: Im sorry but I dont think I can give out that information, why? (Teenager Pulls gun from waistband back of jeans - raises gun level to her head) [Music starts] Shop assistant: Oh I dont... h- he came in earlier this morning. H-he knows our boss - my boss, his name I think the name is Tom Longley, please dont (Teenager Puts photograph back into pocket and lowers gun to the base of the till) Teenager: Where can I find your boss? (Shop assistants face starts to collapse as tears begin to form) Shop assistant: He lives in Ashtead Overdale please donTeenager: And his name? (A pause before teenager slowly raises his gun again) Shop assistant: Okay its Brian Greene! [Screen turns to black promptly and a second later a gunshot is heard, followed by a stumbling onto the floor, before cutting to a medium shot of the teenager, taken from behind the till, with the teenager obscuring the view of a 4th character who witnessed the act in the background] (The teenager lowers his gun and sighs deeply before slowly turning around, we see the other customer standing limply in shock, and the teenager raises his gun to head level once more)

[The screen cuts to black before the title of film fades in]
