Script: Full Circle (short film) 2022

 

EXT. — front of house — DAY

Hitman V.O

For me, this shit got old quick…but I’ve yet to find a higher paying profession catered to my only skill that I’ve mastered in my fucking life.

Voice over of the Hitman and the contract details between the hitman and his contractor played over. The Hitman drives to the corner of an unguarded house that he uses as a vantage point.

Hitman V.O

Reached Location Sir.

Contractor V.O

Good… You know what to do

He stops his car at the front and gets out. He closes the car door and walks to the boot. He opens the boot and grabs out a case, then shuts the boot door.

Hitman V.O

Day after day. Contract after contract…Target after target.

He walks to the stairs leading to the entrance of the house. He hops over the Balcony on his right to access the white concreted front balcony.

EXT. House Balcony — DAY

He kneels down and opens the case to see separated pieces of a rifle stacked neatly. He assembles the rifles with divine precision, as if he’s done this a million times. Once finished assembling piece by piece, the scope dances away as he zooms and calibrates to the correct distance and gazes through the eyepiece.

EXT. — Park across the street — DAY

Through the view of the scope, we see an elderly man sitting on a bench whilst facing the same direction. He’s talking on the phone.

EXT. House Balcony — DAY

The Hitman lines up his shot. His breathes get heavier and heavier as his focus continuously intensifies. The tension builds and builds. Music reaches its crescendo. Hitman’s heartbeat drops to continue focus on his target.

BANG!!…a shot fires, the assassin takes his shot but misses and flinches back slightly from the recoil of his rifle. A moment of confusion sparks on out Hitman only to feel intense chest pain. He feels his chest with his right hand and notices his own blood on his black right-hand glove and chest. Realising he’s about to succumb from his attack but clueless as to how that’s possible.

Zoom out to see our Hitman fall down to the ground as he dies. We notice another assassin right behind him as she took the shot to kill our Hitman. Once Lowered her gun, she grabbed her phone out of her right pocket to call her contractor.

Female Assassin:

Boss, the target is down. Objective finished.

EXT. — Park across the street — DAY

Elderly man:

Good. Now you know what to do. Come meet me later on tonight. You’ll receive your payment then. I also have another contract for you.

EXT. — House Balcony — DAY

Female Assassin:

Copy. Out.

They both hang up and she lowers her phone to her pocket out of shot. She walks away from the scene toward the door leading to the inside of the house in order to prepare for disposing her target. Fade to Black. The Credits roll.

The End.
