CUT TO:
INT. BASEMENT - DAY
We cut to an empty dark room. In the center is ANDREW, a
young male, is sat tied to a chair with a blindfold around
his eyes. His head is dangling down - he is asleep. Suddenly
he awakes. He takes a second to realise what’s going on.
ANDREW
Hello?
Cuts to a close up of his watch, it’s just gone 9 in the
morning
ANDREW
Hello?!
He leans forward but is pulled back to the rope
ANDREW
What’s going on? What’s going on?!!
(pauses)
okay... okay think, think... if I
can just...
Cuts to behind his back. He’s trying to pull his hands out
of the knot
ANDREW (CONT’D)
...just
He begins pulling really hard making his hand red but then
gives up, releasing a loud sigh
A noise is heard, like the dropping of a pin but he hears it
(CONTINUED)
3. CONTINUED: 2.
ANDREW

tied?
He is silent for a moment, hoping someone or anyone will
answer him
ANDREW

UNTIE ME!!!
He begins to have a fit throwing himself around screaming
