Working Title By Emily Wilson

1. INT. OPEN LIVING ROOM / KITCHEN - DAY POV: Dirty mugs and plates litter the kitchen work tops. Mess accumulated from perhaps 2 weeks of indolence. The only thing separating the kitchen and equally messy, yet bare, living room is a small breakfast counter covered in mugs plates and cigarette butts. ISAAC, a man, in his early 20s is closing the front door. ISAAC So, long time no see. Isaac looks around the kitchen briefly before turning to the living room. ISAAC (CONTD) (Almost embarrassed) Yeah, um, Im sorry about the mess. Its a bit of a shithole isnt it? Isaac sits on the living room sofa. ISAAC (CONTD) Ive just had some stuff going on recently you know? My heads not in a good place place at the minute. [Beat] Which is why youre here now right? Isaac chuckles to himself and lights a cigarette. 2. EXT. HOUSING ESTATE - EVENING Isaac is walking through a relatively run down housing estate, its cold and he is wearing a thick coat. Hes walking with a fast pace as though frustrated. ISAAC What the fuck does she want me to do? Shes not answering any of my phone calls. Its like, I dunno, its like shes acting as though nothing happened between us. Isaac stops and looks into the camera. ISAAC (CONTD) Im on the edge man.

3. INT. CHEAP DINER / CAFE - NIGHT Isaac is sat at a table in silence staring out the window of a run down cafe. His expression is withdrawn and aggravated, his eyes heavy. ISAAC You know what? Fuck that bitch. She clearly had no idea. I thought what we had was special. Isaac looks down, he is saddened by his realisation. ISAAC (CONTD) I loved her man. Isaac looks back out the window, silent. A MAN approaches the table, he is wearing a trench coat. Standing sideways on, it is clear he does not know Isaac. He places a small tinfoil object on the table and Isaac quickly snatches it off. Without making eye contact with the man, Isaac hands him a napkin, the man flicks through and counts the money inside it before walking away from the table. ISAAC (CONTD) (Defensive) Oh dont give me that. Its just until I feel better you know? 4. INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT POV: The room is dark and dingy, the bed sheets are barely on properly and clothes are thrown around everywhere, the main light source is from fairy lights only just pinned to the wall. Sat cross legged on the bed, Isaac prepares a hit of heroin. ISAAC (Seemingly out of nowhere) You know, I never realised how soft girls skin was. [Beat] Its perfect, everything about them is. Why is that? Isaac looks into the camera quizzically before carrying on with what he was doing.

ISAAC (CONTD) Its as if they were created to be so completely enticing. And what do they do? They destroy you from the inside. Isaac taps the needle and tightens the belt round his arm. ISAAC (CONTD) She makes me feel like Im drowning. He slowly injects the heroin. The effect is instant, he seems to melt into the bed. The atmosphere starts to distort and blur, shifting from side to side. ISAAC (CONTD) (Slurring slightly) But then again, so do you. 5. EXT. ESTATE - NIGHT Isaac staggers down the street, he is walking at a relatively fast pace. He stumbles and holds onto a wall, we catch up with him. Isaac stands back up and carries on walking. ISAAC I need to see her man. Isaac stops in his tracks and turns to the camera. ISAAC (CONTD) (Furious) What did you just say? [Beat] I dont know why youre even here! Isaac goes to punch the camera. 6. EXT. HOUSE - NIGHT Isaac creeps up the path towards the house. All the lights are off inside, it appears as though no one is home. He looks through the letter box before peering in through the window.

ISAAC (Frustrated) Come on! Suddenly the DOOR UNLOCKS. The camera tracks back as though trying to escape the awkward situation. A WOMAN walks out the front door, she is wearing heels, an extremely short skirt, fishnet stockings and a fur coat. She looks haggared with red lipstick and heavy eye make up. She quickly notices Isaac stepping back from her window, she looks confused. WOMAN (Looking around) Urmmm. Who are you and why are you staring through my window? 7. INT. KITCHEN - NIGHT Isaac is frantically DIGGING THROUGH KITCHEN DRAWS. His eyes are teary and his face red. In anger he suddenly wipes the kitchen island of mugs and plates, they CRASH to the floor. ISAAC Im going to kill her. Isaac continues DIGGING THROUGH DRAWS. ISAAC (CONTD) Where is it?! He barges into the living room, walking over the BROKEN CERAMIC. ISAAC (CONTD) I meant nothing to her! He falls to his knees, crying, and searches under the sofa. He grabs a pocket knife, stands up and marches towards the door but stops in front of the camera. ISAAC (CONTD) (Through gritted teeth) Move. Out. The. Way. [Beat] Move out the way! Isaac suddenly pushes the camera to the floor and stands over it, staring into it with crazed eyes. ISAAC (CONTD) Why do you haunt me like this?! Do you even know how many psyciatrists Ive seen? How many pills I had to (MORE) (CONTINUED)

ISAAC (CONTD) (contd) take because of you? [Beat] What are trying to do huh?! What are you doing in my head?! Isaac backs off the camera. ISAAC (CONTD) (Cold) You want to kill me. Is that it? Isaac moves towards the door, the knife is still in his hands. He opens the door and turns to the camera. ISAAC (CONTD) Congratulations. Isaac SLAMS the door. FADE OUT
