FADE IN:

EXT. UNNAMED DESERT - DAY

Vast empty lands, remnants of a previous civilisation, large


broken buildings, shops and political posters.

We see ARBEIT dragging a body bag with him through the desert, it
is leaking blood. He surveys the area, incredibly cautious in his
movements, he decides to scavenge a nearby abandoned building.
CUT TO:
INT. EMPTY BUILDING - DAY
ARBEIT
Hmmm…
He drops his belongings down to maneuver more effectively within
the interior.

CLOSEUP:
A red ribbon sticking out of
the handle of his sword

ARBEIT has a sad look on his face, the ribbon reminded him of the
past.

BEGIN FLASHBACK

EXT. UNNAMED PARK - DAY

Families gathered around, enjoying picnics. A younger ARBEIT is


laughing along with a few of his friends. The laughter drowns the
scene and

END FLASHBACK

INT. EMPTY BUILDING - DAY

ARBEIT snaps back and puts on his serious face. As he scavages


around, he finds something shining within the pile of trash.

CLOSEUP: An artifact of the previous world–A nintendo switch!


ARBEIT
Oh…I remember this! Hmm…does it still work…?(He fiddles
around with it) AH! It’s still working! The kids will love this.

He puts the device in his backpack.


OVERHEAD SHOT:
satisfied, he makes his way through the vast desert to the
sheriff’s office to claim his bounty.

TITLE:
LAW SCORN

INT. SHERIFF’S OFFICE - DAY

SHERIFF
ARBEIT! What do you have for me today?

ARBEIT
Just another crook, here.

He drops the body bag in front of the desk.


SHERIFF
Woah! Easy there. Alright, that’ll be 20000 Shilling.
Oh and before I forget, here’s the usual.

The COMP buzzes, it shows +20000

The SHERIFF hands ARBEIT stimpacks


ARBEIT
Thanks.

ARBEIT makes his way out, a group of kids show up

KID#1
ARBEIT’S HERE!!
KID#2
REALLY?! Oh man I’ve GOT to know
What bastard he got this time!
SHERIFF
Settle down! Don’t bother the guy, he’s busy.
ARBEIT
It’s alright, I’ve been meaning to give you this.

ARBIET hands over KID#1 the switch. It creates some buzz around
the office which gives ARBEIT a chance to slip away. He is
stopped by a homeless man.

HOMELESS MAN
Water…Please…

ARBEIT hurriedly grabs water to give the homeless man, while he


is doing so, the homeless man inserts a chip on ARIBET’s comp,
which alters the next bounty target.

ARBEIT
Here you go.

ARBEIT hands him some water.

HOMELESS MAN
Thank you! Thank you!
You’re a good man!

ARBEIT goes about his way, oblivious to what just occurred.

CUT TO:
EXT. LARGE TOWER

A building Of significant height, it’s nothing like any of the


buildings in ruins, standing with little damage. It’s well
guarded.
ARBEIT
This will be a problem…

ARBEIT bites his lip and recklessly makes his way through the
entrance.
GUARD#1
HEY! What do you think you’re doing here?!

ARBEIT knocks down both guards without any difficulties. It seems


that no one is alarmed as of yet, the building is quite large so
the other guards must’ve not heard what occurred outside.
CUT TO:

INT. INSIDE THE TOWER

The interior is discordant to the current state of this world, it


is far too orderly and well maintained. Security is lax, ARBEIT
continues his search. He notices some figure creeping up behind
him, as he readies his weapon the person reveals themselves.

STRANGER
calm down. I'm on your side ARBEIT.

ARBEIT
Do I know you…?

STRANGER
Follow me, it's far too dangerous to talk here.

Confused, ARBEIT decides to follow. He is taken to some sort of


basement.

STRANGER
It's safe here, they don't know of this place, it's how I snuck
here.
ARBEIT
I didn't have to barge straight in…

STRANGER
It's more your style. In any case, I should introduce myself, I'm
*** chief of the resistance.

*** hands ARBEIT a badge, he recognises it.

ARBEIT
That homeless man had this…
*** turns away and takes a phone call. ARBEIT is unable to make
out what they are saying

***
It’s time. I’m sure you’re confused as to what
Your role is in all of this but we need you
To help us with defeating Teras.

ARBEIT
Long as I get my money, I don’t
care.

*** and ARBEIT, with great immediacy, make their way through the
stairs to the top floor. When they get there they are greeted
with a group of hostile people.

*** without any hesitation shoots 2 in the head. ARBEIT


unsheathes his sword and knocks one down with blunt force.

INT. TRIBE LEADER’S ROOM

***
TERAS! YOUR REIGN OF TERROR
ENDS HERE NOW!

TERAS leaps out of his seat. With a distraught expression, his


eyes dart around the room looking for an exit. However there is
only one, and it's blocked by *** and ARBEIT.

***
What happened to your high and mighty act?!
We won't give you any mercy, ain't that right ARBEIT?

ARBEIT approaches TERAS slowly with his sword dragging on the


floor.

TERAS
Listen! I'm sure we can work something out, I'll give you
Whatever you desire, please just let me go!

ARBEIT continues to approach him. TERAS realizing he can't reason


with ARBEIT grabs the nearest weapon to him, a knife and lunges
towards ARBEIT. ARBEIT knocks him off with one blunt swing.

TERAS
(Muffled) p-please spare me…

***
How many people begged you in that same manner? It's too
Late now.

ARBEIT Finishes him off.

FADE OUT

FIN
