SCENE ONE

EXT. FOREST. NIGHT.

A motorcyclist dressed in all black drives through the
forest with an axe strapped around his back. The man
continues driving deep into the forest.
He pulls up outside a small, forgotten cabin in the middle
of the forest. The place is isolated and the sound of the
wind and hum of the motorbike is all that can be heard.
The man gets off of his bike and begins to approach the door
of the hut. (The door is rotting)
The man pushes the door open.

SCENE TWO

INT. CABIN. NIGHT.

The interior of the cabin is poorly lit with the only
furniture inside being a wooden chair in the corner and a
wooden table to the side. The table is covered in newspapers
and scraps of paper.
A shot of the corner of the cabin reveals a girl, Elizabeth
Baker, only child of an upper class family, in the corner.
She is dirty and tied up, hugging the corner of the room in
fear of the man.
CUT TO
A newspaper article that reads Serial Killer Strikes Again
CUT BACK TO
The man turns his back on the girl and approaches the table,
axe in hand. We are shown the man from behind and it is
apparent to the audience that he is sharpening his axe.
CUT TO
A newspaper article that reads ...is said to enjoy playing
a game of cat and mouse with his victims before...
CUT BACK TO
Elizabeth is shown in the corner panicking, she is crawling
further into the corner of the room, cowering from the man.
The man approaches the girl and she continues to struggle as
he grabs her tightly around her ankles.

The man drags the girl through the cabin. She is making
muffled screaming noises in her state of panic.

SCENE THREE

EXT. FOREST. NIGHT.

WHIP PAN
The distance from the cabin to the road is shown. The
distance is quite a fair way, but reaching the road in a
about five minutes can be achieved if ran.
CUT TO

wealthy bankers Maude and Albert Baker, has been reported
missing...
CUT BACK TO
CLOSE UP
The mans mouth is seen, but the rest of his features are a
blur.
MAN
We are going to play a game Lizzy.
Do you like games? Silly me, you
cans speak. Of course you like
games, what little girl doesnt?
Elizabeth begins to silently cry in desperation.
MAN
No, no Lizzy. This is a fun game.
The man picks the girl up to her feet and holds her by her
shoulder. He turns her so that she is looking in the
direction of the road.
MAN
You have a thirty second head
start, okay?
The man grabs Elizabeths head and moves it up and down,
gesturing her agreement.
MAN
The game is simple. You have to run
in that direction, if you reach the
road then you win, and you can go
home, if thats what you want. But.

The man removes the tape from Elizabeths mouth.
ELIZABETH
Screams
The man clasps her mouth shut with his hand.
MAN
Well Lizzy, that was incredibly
stupid. We didnt agree any rule
about that. You cheated so its
only fair you receive a penalty.
The man cuts Elizabeths tongue from her mouth and she falls
to the floor.
The man unties her feet whilst she is still on the floor,
leaving her hands tied up.
The man turns around dramatically and Elizabeth clambers to
her feet and begins running.
