'INT. ACADEMY OF CRIME AND REVENGE'

Colin is on the phone to Lazarus

LAZARUS

This is very important.

COLIN

This will work.

LAZARUS

I’ve got one simple question before we send her on our mission.

'Zoom close up on Colin’s face. Colin looks curious.'

LAZARUS

What is the Wi-Fi code?

Colin sighs.

COLIN

S. Capital P. Ten.

LAZARUS

'Hold on!. S, capital D?'

COLIN

No! Capital P! P for Percy.

LAZARUS

Who’s Percy?

'Cut. Percy the Butler is washing dishes.'

PERCY

You called sir! What do you need?

'Cut. Back to Colin.'

COLIN

Oh shut up, you blithering idiot!

Pause

T…

'Cut. Percy pouring a cup of tea.'

PERCY

Alright, on its way sir.

COLIN

'F. Pound Symbol. Six, and Y.'

LAZARUS

'Got it. Good luck agent.'

'EXT. ACADEMY OF CRIME AND REVENGE'

A mysterious female character (Agent Wilson) enters the gates.

'INT. ACADEMY OF CRIME AND REVENGE'

'his face. Cut to a handheld shot from said camera.'

COLIN

'Camera rolling? Good.'

'EXT. ACADEMY OF CRIME AND REVENGE'

Agent Wilson approaches the doors of AOCR.

'INT. ACADEMY OF CRIME AND REVENGE'

Colin places the handheld camera on the mantle.

She pushed it and enters.

'INT. ACADEMY OF CRIME AND REVENGE'

'Agent Wilson enters and closes the door behind her. She sits down in front of'

'Colin. Over-the-shoulder shot.'

COLIN

And what time do you call this?

He picks up the clock.

You are 0.235 seconds late!

WILSON

Sorry, sir. Must have been the traffic.

COLIN

'Well don’t be late again. Or you’re out of the deal.'

'Cut. Lazarus shouts into his phone.'

LAZARUS

'Good job agent! You’ve got her.'

COLIN

[Overlapping Lazarus]

'Argh! Ow! Argh! I know!'

WILSON

Are you okay sir?

COLIN

'Just got an earache. Happens all the time.'

LAZARUS

It’s working.

COLIN

'Argh! Ow! Ah! Oh! Yes, of course its bloody working! Now shut up!'

'A beat. Colin realizes Wilson is still here.'

COLIN

'Working out! We’re working out for the mission tomorrow! Yes, it requires a'

lot of physical strength.

'Cut. Same setting.'

COLIN

Now, Alex Smith.

Percy enters.

PERCY

'Cup of tea sir. Here you go. First date, yeah?'

'Cut. Mid shot. Colin and Wilson look towards the camera at Percy, confused.'

PERCY

Oh, okay.

Cut.

COLIN

'Your mission is the find Alex. Alex Smith. Located .'

WILSON

What mission?

Colin sighs.

COLIN

You are being employed to break into his house, hack into his laptop using a

USB we will provide, and send us twenty five million pounds that he should

not own.

'We start at midnight tonight. Good luck.'

Colin unwraps a boiled sweet and places it into his mouth.

TITLE CARD: MIDNIGHT AT ALEX SMITH’S HOUSE

'INT. ALEX SMITH’S HOUSE'

Agent Wilson holds up a flashlight.

WILSON

Let’s go and get this thing.

'Over the shoulder shot. Agent Wilson navigates the dark corridors of Alex'

'Smith’s house. She runs down a corridor and kicks down the door at the end of'

it.

'INT. ALEX SMITH’S ROOM'

'An alarm begins to sound. Agent Wilson enters a dark room with a high-tech'

'computer set-up. She looks around briefly before running towards an open'

'laptop. She unravels a USB cable and hastily plugs it into the laptop. She'

begins typing as green code appears on the laptop’s screen.

Cut.

'The laptop screen displays Alex Smith’s PayPal. Agent Wilson transfers all of'

his money to AOCR, before hastily exiting.

'EXT. ACADEMY OF CRIME AND REVENGE'

'Night time. Mid shot. Lazarus stands alone in the dark.'

'Over-the-shoulder shot. Colin exits AOCR and shuts the door behind him. He'

stands in front of Lazarus.

LAZARUS

So how did she do?

COLIN

Extremely well.

Cut.

'EXT. ALEX SMITH’S HOUSE'

'Alex Smith approaches his door. He looks suspiciously familiar.'

ALEX

That was a good night.

Alex enters his house and walks upstairs into his room.

ALEX

What’s going on here?

[He turns on the light]

'No, no, no, no! What’s going on here? Where’s all my money?'

Smash fade.

'EXT. ACADEMY OF CRIME AND REVENGE'

LAZARUS

I had many doubts.

COLIN

'I did, but she has performed well. We will use her in the future.'

Colin and Lazarus walk off into the darkness.

Cut.

'Zoom on the contents of Alex Smith’s bank account. His balance is £0.85.'

ALEX

'Argh! Damn it!'

[He flips over a chair]

'I will find them, and they will pay. Every penny.'

He exits, looking very broad.

Fade.
