  14.  
  15. [camera continues panning until its turned around completely to the building fc entered. its an abandoned theatre. as she enters, she drops her cigarette on the ground where the rain puts it out instantly (camera track cigarette as it falls, it zooms into the bright red lipstick stain as it is extinguished in the puddle)

  19. [camera follows fc through dimly lit hallway. shes a tall, italian woman. Her dark brown hair is long enough to reach the small of her back, but she has it up in a bun. she's wearing a black fascinator hat, to match the black mesh veil. Her tight black dress hugs her slender figure accenting how her hips sway with each step in her black heels.]
  20.  
  21. [cut]
  22.  
  23. [same setting][ camera is in front of fc. The hallway is extremely dark but each time she walks past the dim lights, more of her facial features are revealed. She has dark brown eyes and a small nose that curves slightly upward at the end. She has full lips, with bright red lipstick, which contrasts her pearly white teeth. Her eyebrows are lowered in the middle, and her lips are slightly parsed.
  24. [she reaches the end of the hallway turning to her right (camera left - stationary). she takes 3 more steps down the shorter hallway when she reaches a door to her right. She turns the knob.]
  25.  
  26. [cut]
  27. (camera inside room)(close to the door, on the doorhandle side, facing the door)
  28. [the camera tracks fc as she enters the almost-pitch black room. the only light source is a single bulb lamp hanging from the ceiling. The warm yellow light is just bright enough to light the small round wooden table with a briefcase on it. There are 2 men sitting at the table. 1 is in his early 30s, his muscular build is hidden by his double breasted suit. he are sitting in an older wooden chair that looked like it was abandoned along with the theatre. The 2nd man is a stout older gentleman sitting in a red leather double armed chair opposite to the other man.]
  29. [the camera continues tracking fc as she enters the room and walks to the far side of the table, giving a view of the entire room.]
  30.  
  31. [camera moves in as she reaches the table, it is positioned over the younger man's shoulder facing the portly older man in the leather chair] she approaches the older man (om) and greets him with a kiss on the cheek leaving a faint lipstick mark on his cheek. OM is stoic and has almost no reaction, (continues)
  32.  
  33. -WRITERS NOTE: IDK IF THERE IS GOING TO BE SUBTITLES OR IF ALL THE "DIALOGUE" WILL JUST BE IN GESTURES. SUBTITLES WITHOUT ACTUAL SPEAKING WOULD BE KINDA COOL BUT WOULD PROBABLY RUIN THE VIBE. I KINDA LIKE THE NO TALKING, LEAVE EVERYTHING UP TO THE VIEWER TO FIGURE OUT, KINDA FEEL-
  34.  
  35. (continuation) OM guestures that FC is late (subs?) and points to the man who is visibly aggravated (2nd camera pointed at the man) The man slides the briefcase towards OM, he opens it to reveal that its full of money. *the man gestures that he wants his side of the deal to OM* OM gives the signal to FC.[closeup shot of her right hand] she raises her right hand and removes the large diamond ring from her finger and slides it across the table.
  36.  
  37. [camera 2] the man extensively inspects the ring. His dour expression quickly turns to rage as he slams his clenched fist onto the table.
  38.  
  39. [camera 1 which is facing FC and OM]As he unclenches his fist, the ring falls out onto the table. It is a fake. He tries to grab the breifcase but OM has already snatched it. The man reaches into his vest to reveal a handgun. He fires twice at OM and both bullets land in OMs chest
  40.  
  41. [camera 2(this is happening at the same time as CAMERA 1, quick cuts will be used to make that clear)]
  42. fc unbuckles miniature 9mm pistol hidden on her inner thigh. she shoots the man in the temple and he drops.
  43.  
  44. [camera 2 has moved to get a closer shot of OM]FC hurries over to OM who has fallen out of the chair and is bleeding out on the floor. She begins to cry as she kneels on the floor resting his head in her lap. OM looks straight up, directly into her eyes (the camera), then weakly points to the breifcase. She kisses him one last time on the forehead leaving behind a bright red lipstick stain (camera is angled to show the earlier lipstick mark). She closes OM's eyes and leaves him on floor. She grabs the briefcase and leaves the room. (camera is tracking her)

  48. [camera is outside where it is still raining, camera pointed at theatre entrance, then pans with FC's movement] FC leaves the abandoned theatre. As she leaves, she passes the camera which pans with her. As the camera turns it shows that her driver and her car are still parked outside. The driver who is patiently waiting with the umbrella still, opens the car door for her, and she enters the car.

  52. [FINAL SCENE - CAMERA IS SEATED BEHIND DRIVER FACING FC WHO IS SEATED IN THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT]
  53. FC begins to sob harder, as she wipes her tears, her mascara runs and smudges on her face. She places the briefcase down by her feet and the camera focus adjusts to look through the window to the outside mirroring the opening scene.
