ANDERSON/PARKER by RICHARD IVES

INT. BATHROOM- DAY ANDERSON is alone; he has been drinking in the corner of the room. ANDERSON is suffering from a hangover, wearing a vest and visibly hasnt shaved for months. We see his handgun and police badge with a bottle of Jack Daniels on the bath. A voiceover of ANDERSONS thoughts is heard. MICHAEL SO this is my life, sitting in a cold dank corner sitting with my best friend Jack Daniels. Christ, how did this happen, do it they said, this will make you a hero they said. (Quietly)I never saw this happening.

MICHAEL ANDERSONS wife, JENNIFER enters the room this is shown when she throws water in ANDERSONS daydreaming face.

JENNIFER (Inaudible- due to MICHAELS hangover) Im sorry MICHAEL but I cant take this anymore. Youre not the man I married. JENNIFER exits the bathroom, leaving MICHAEL. (Subtitle) Im leaving you. The camera focuses on MICHAELS face, following JENNIFERS exit. (Split screen) Following JENNIFER out of the house and using the phone, she stops and speaks on step outside. Split screen also showing MICHAEL sitting in corner staring away.

I did it, I actually left him. (Tearful) I know, I know, but I have suffered for too long. MICHAELS not even trying to change, he just drinks and drinks. (Head in hands)He said this would only last a few months. MICHAEL (VOICEOVER, Quietly) How did this happen. A Long Shot is used showing JENNIFER sitting in the distance an unknown hand appears. Close up to the camera the fist clenches. MICHAEL looks down, creating a transition to a flashback. FLASHBACK: INT. OFFICE ROOM- DAY MICHAEL looks up he is clean shaven and wearing a suit. He is sitting in an office at a desk listening to his superior, Police CAPTAIN REYNOLDS. The captain is putting up photographs of the targets. (SUBTITLE APPEARS: 6 Months ago) CAPTAIN REYNOLDS So this is your assignment MICHAEL. Your target, drug Lord HASSAN AHMED, Afghan nationality, houses in London and Miami.

Your cover name will be SHANE PARKER, you will report to me. Good Luck, youll be a hero. Camera zooms into picture of target HASSAN AHMED.
