MJ: Stakeout Script

Stakeout

By

Matt Johns, Piers Jahn, Andy Cooper

Opening

The camera pans, showing an alleyway, flashbacks show a violent attack, within the alley the audience can see a body sat down by a gate, with another person leaning over them.

Reverse shot shows someone walk up to the two people. We can see that the girl on the floor is dead.

 

Vamp Woman 1: She was mine

Vamp Man: We all know it’s finders keepers out here. (Maniacal laugh)

VW1: That’s not even funny, you of all people know we’re suffering more than ever, there’s no room for bonus kills.

VM: Since when were we part of a group who live by rules. If I see someone worth taking, I’ll do it. We’re vampires, not pathetic humans. Doesn’t matter anyway, she’ll be up in a couple of hours.

VW1: You brought another one into our world. Do you have any morals? You’re an animal.

VM: I’m not an animal, I’m a vampire, we feed that’s what we do.

Next scene

Long shot of the woods shows young man walking through woods. He looks lost, as shown by his confused look.

Mid-shot as he brushes past camera shows the two vampires, plus their new vampire, hidden in various parts of the woods not far from him.

As he walks he pulls out his mobile phone, and begins to wring someone.

Man: It’s me, I’m pretty sure they’re on my tail, meet me at the woods ASAP.

VanH: What’s happening?

Man: Nothing, they’re just following, I’m completely in control of the situation.

CU on VM’s face, as he realises that Man isn’t just someone walking through woods.

He hand gestures to the female vampires to attack. Man begins to run, as VM approaches him, but after a couple of yards is stopped by VW1, appearing from a nearby bush.

Vampire Woman 2 appears, and grabs Man by the arm, VW1 holds the other.

Man struggles to break free, and before he can VM walks up and punches him through the stomach. A CU on Man's face shows his pain and shock, cut to shot from the back in which audience sees arm all the way through Man.

 

Man drops to the floor, girls proceed to drag her away. VM stands stern, checking no one has been watching. Camera looks down to VM's arm, in which the word "Stakeout" can be seen in the blood.
