Scene by Scene

Scene Opens with an askew view of a typical young adult male (Marcus) sitting on a bench. The weather is nice. it sppears to be Spring. People are walking around, maybe children playing. Suddenly he looks up and focuses on one woman in particular. She has a very severe haircut. He gasps and says, "It couldn't be."

Flashback into torture scene. The woman is torturing the young man and asking him for information. (Use actual dialogue from book). Inner-monologue continues and he briefly explains what happened.

Flash into present. On park bench. Monologue: "I wasn't the only one who was tortured."

Flashback. Scene is a different young male being tortured, thrown into jail cell. Monologue: My best friend, Darryl, was with me. He will never be the same. Scene flashes to Darryl's rescue and a sad hug between Marcus and Darryl?

Flash into present. Maarcus begins to get restless. Monologue: I can't believe she went free. There is no justice. I suffered so much. Darryl suffered so much. We can never go back. I want to make her feel my pain. But what could I say to someone so evil?

Flashback into messy, dark room. Marcus is curled up on the bed next to young woman (Ange). He seems to be crying.

Flash into present. Ange is standing in front of the bench, seeming unsure. She sits down next to Marcus. Follows his gaze and sees the woman. Ange tentatively grabs Marcus's hand. Marcus is sheepish, pulls his hand away and stands up. Marcus looks at the woman across the park. He turns back to Ange and says, “Let’s get out of here.”

Angle switches to a view of Marcus and Ange walking away hand in hand. Monologue: There is no going back, but really, I suppose, there is no time like the present.”

Flash to scene of Darryl alone in a messy house with his head in his hands. Black.
