sitting down facing him.

Ok, so you know the drill; this has happened before. This guys name is
Harry Pearson, we need to find him, and take him out.
The camera switches to Harry walking down the street about to topple over

Let me in, I need to talk to you.

Joe, I need you to listen to me, earlier today I was robbed and I think the
guy must have taken my pill, s-so I haven’t taken one today.
Joe:
I don’t understand. How could you not take your pill?
Harry:
Joe, listen to me, everything feels different. I don’t know. Looking at
you now, it looks like your brainwashed or hypnotised or something.
They are interrupted by a power cut that plunges the room into darkness.
Harry goes towards the window and notices one of the government agents
pulling up outside.
Harry:
I-I think they’re here for me. I need to get out of here now.

expression in the centre of the room.

camera. He is recording a film he intends to leak to the public.
Harry:

5. My name is Harry Pearson. One week ago I avoided taking the pill that
everyone on the planet has been taking their whole lives. This pill has
told us what to do, what to say and even how to think. Since then I have
been pursued by men who are trying to kill me and have seen things that you
couldn’t even imagine. One thing you need to know is that you’re world is
a lie.
SCENE 5 – INT – GOVERNMENT BUILDING - DAY
The boss is standing in a room facing the window. Standing behind him is
one of the agents.
Boss:
If we don’t find this man soon, the whole system will collapse.This world
will not be able to cope with the truth.

Harry holds his phone, staring at it as it starts to ring. After a few
seconds he answers and holds it up to his ear.

(Pause.) We’re coming for you.
