1 EXT: ROAD – EVENING

Emily a woman in her early 20’s walks down the road in her work clothes and a coat with a handbag slug over one shoulder. She has brown hair and is an average build. The woman walks with a brisk pace to her door and opens it. In the background you can see a person walking behind her at a distance. We can’t tell if it’s male or female at this point.

2 EXT: EMILY’S BEDROOM – EVENING

Emily walks into her room slings her bag and coat on the bed with a sigh of relief. She then walks to over to the window and lets her hair down. Out of the window we can see the person that was walking behind Emily standing under a street light, Emily doesn’t notice him. Emily then moves into the en-suit bathroom to check herself in the mirror, she then moves back to the window but the person has gone.

3 EXT: EMILY’S BEDROOM – EVENING

The lights start to flicker and then go out. Emily is calm she finds a torch in one of the draws in a large wooded chest of draws. She then walks out of the room and down the stairs to get to the cellar.

EMILY

4 EXT: Cellar – Evening

The cellar door opens at the top of a flight of stairs which lead down to the cellar. Emily walks down the stairs which are being lit by the torch which Emily is carrying. She gets to the bottom of the stairs and checks the fuse box which is mysteriously open and had been tampered with.

Emily

5 EXT: Cellar – Evening

Emily takes a step back to look around the fuse box for anything suspicious. Behind her there is a figure which appears deeper down into the cellar behind Emily. The person starts to walk forward silently he moves closer dressed in black with a hood which covers their face.

He gets behind Emily and stops and reaches out Emily turns slowly almost like she knows someone is there. She sees the figure and screams and turns and tries to run but the person grabs hold of her. The lights turn on and the person pulls down their hood.

Its Mark Emily’s younger brother.
