ERADICATION (Scene One)
(We open to a glass of red wine, which is trembling slightly. Suddenly, a hand reaches out, and lifts the glass out of the camera's view. We cut to a close-up of Keith Webber, drinking the liquid. We cut to the glass, being put back down on the small tray. We cut back to Keith. He looks up, staring at something past the camera)
KEITH:
Do you want to know why I am doing this to you?
COREY SMYTHE:
(In distance)
'Cause you're a psycho?
(Keith chuckles, then puts a toothpick in his mouth)
KEITH:
No, Corey. It's because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. All you had to do was give me your word that you weren't gonna say something. Now I have to kill you.
COREY:
I'm not going to die by your hand.
KEITH:
You think I won't do it?
COREY:
I don't doubt your capabilities, but I'm going to outrun you. I'm good at that, see?
KEITH:
I see. But I've had runners before. It doesn't perturb me. Unless they're really, really motivated. So tell us, Mr. Smythe...
(We cut to a close-up of Keith picking up a pistol that is sitting on his lap)
KEITH
...What is freedom to you?
(We cut to Corey, walking through a field, at nightfall)
SUBTITLE-3 Days Earlier
There are three gunshots, heard in the distance. When they sound, Corey looks up, turns around, and runs towards the noise. We cut to him, walking through the entrance to the field. We then cut to Keith, dressed in a dark trench-coat. He jogs past Corey, then stops, turns around, and looks Corey in the eye. We cut to a close-up, of a pistol in his hand. We cut to a close-up of Corey, who looks bewildered)
COREY:
What did you just--
(Keith puts a finger to his lips, then police sirens are heard in the distance. Keith turns around, and runs off down the street. We cut to the opening titles)
(You see, I told you).
