Thriller Script






 Opening shot of car, lane, trees etc.
 Close-up of car and driver inside.
 Cut to driver making a phone call (Jo)
 Jo: looks around nervously hesitating with mobile to ear.
 Cut to call centre office, close-up on David and headset, computer etc.
 David: 'Hello, City Breakdown Services, how can I help?'
 Cut to Jo in the car looking around.
 Jo: Speaks fast 'Hi, hi, yeah, my car's broken down. I'm stuck, I think it's a flat battery.'

 David: 'Can I have your registration number sir?'

 Jo: Gives registration (says)

 David: 'Thankyou, I'm just looking up your details-so you say you're stuck; not moving?'

 Jo: 'Yeah, I stopped for a rest, but I'm not sure, the lights were off when I woke up, so I can't have  been them            
 that caused it.'
 David: 'Okay, sir, I can see your details. Can you tell me your whereabouts?' 

 Jo: 'Somewhere on the edge of Carnford Wood I think, No, Man's Lane, a layby off B6042' (looking  around
 nervously,tapping dashboard)
 Jo: Sighs impatiently.

 David: 'Okay sir, try to calm down, someone will be with you in the next couple of hours'.

 Jo: Looking around, agitated and nervous.

 David: 'Are you okay sir?'

 Jo: 'Yeah, yeah, thanks.'

 David: 'We'll call you again when our guys are 10 minutes away.'

 Shots of the lane, trees, car etc. Panoramic.

 Jo: Steps outside, looks around, goes for a pee up a tree. Gets back in car, closes the door. Sighs  relief. Glances  
 at the side mirror, sees a strange (familiar person Ian). Looks horrified.  

 Phone begins to ring again on mobile

 Jo: struggles to get hold of the ringing phone, drops it, looks back at figure.


 Jo: Hands shaking trying to press phone buttons.

 On inside window, figure stares in at drivers side. Face of strange person obscured, steamed by  breath.

 Jo: Presses phone button to answer.

 Don't see David, just hear his voice; 'hello, Mr. Andrews?'
 Close up shot of phone Close up on Jo's face. Really scared. Breathing heavily.

 Camera shot of trees. Gunshot 'Bang!' in distance. Close-up of hand
