1. 1) BEDROOM – INT/DAY (SHOT IN BLACK AND WHITE UNTIL SPECIFIED)
A girl, LUCY ROBERTS, is sleeping fitfully, tossing and turning,
obviously having a nightmare. A jumbled mass of voices can be
heard as a hand starts to crawl up the bed toward her. It reaches
for her neck. Just as the hand is about the strangle her, she
wakes up and sits up violently, running her hands through her
hair and beating away the covers. She looks around the room
quickly, her eyes darting left to right, a confused and panicked
expression on her face as she breathes rapidly.
She gets out of bed, the voices quiet but present, her feet
thumping on the floor and she goes to look in the mirror to see
if the hand left any marks on her. The mirror is covered in
writing. She stumbles back in horror, landing back on the bed.
She looks down at her arms. The writing has transferred onto her
arms in the same messy writing. Panicking, she tries desperately
to rub the writing off her skin, but to no avail. Suddenly, a
single voice is heard clearly above the others.
VOICE
Luuuuucy...Luuuuuu-cyyyyy... [Continues]
The voice is loud compared to the others and sounds like a young
man trying to taunt her. LUCY puts her hands over her ears and
screws her eyes shut, trying to block out the voice and the rest
of the world around her. *SHOT IN COLOUR FROM HERE UNITL END OF
SCENE* LUCY opens her eyes to see her friend standing there,
everything is back to normal and the voices all stop. LUCY is
still breathing rapidly as her hands fall to her sides. ROXANNE
looks concerned and curious.
ROXANNE
Lucy, are you okay? Did your nap help?
ROXANNE stretches out a reassuring hand to LUCY’s shoulder. But
LUCY reacts violently to the touch. She grabs ROXANNE's arm whist
glaring at her – signifying a random mood change – and threatens:
LUCY
Don’t. Touch. Me.
She pushes her way past ROXANNE, leaving ROXANNE in the bedroom,
confused and worried. LUCY runs down the stairs quickly, and
ROXANNE begins to chase after her. When ROXANNE sees LUCY, she
struggling to put on her coat, her hands shaking.
ROXANNE
Lucy!

2. LUCY ignores her friend's call of her name and begins to put on
her boots. Once dressed, she turns and hurries towards the door.
ROXANNE
Where are you going?
She turns back to ROXANNE, who is still standing on the stairs.
She doesn't reply and walks out of the house, slamming the door
behind her.
2) PARK – EXT/DAY (SHOT IN BLACK AND WHITE)
LUCY is walking nervously in a concrete area. Too wrapped up her
thoughts, she does not notice the young man sitting on a nearby
wall. Obviously knowing her, she puts out one of his feet so that
when she walks past, she will trip over him and acknowledge his
presence. She does so; tripping violently over his foot. She
turns to apologise to the random stranger, but a look of horror
crosses her face when she sees who it is, leading the audience to
believe that she knows him and is scared of him. He points to
behind her. She turns on her heel to see him standing behind her,
waving in an intimidating, almost demonic way. She turns back to
the original man, now realising that there are two of them, and
he moves to stand up. She backs away, afraid that he may hurt
her, into the path of the second man. He grabs her shoulder. She
turns quickly to look at him, then wrenches away from his grip
and runs away, her coat flying out behind her.
MAN
There’s no point in running, Lucy. I will always find you.
3) PARK EXT/DAY (SHOT IN BLACK AND WHITE
LUCY has stopped running outside a children’s park. Children’s
voices can he heard, but when the camera is pointed at the park,
there are no children in it. LUCY enters the park and watches the
swing swinging to and fro by itself and the roundabout spinning
with no one on it. LUCY steps forward to stop the swing, but the
children’s voices continue. LUCY runs out of the park and off
camera.
4) PARK – EXT/DAY (SHOT IN BLACK AND WHITE)
Out of breath, LUCY sits on a park bench. The previously mumbled

3. voices now become clear as one distinct voice rings out over the
others.
As if true to his word, he comes up behind her and grabs her
shoulder again. LUCY pushes back his arm and stands up. After a
brief look of horror at him, she begins to run again.
MAN
Feisty, are we? Run, little girl, run.
The young man is seen to make effort in running after her because
he has no need to; he’s inside her head. The voices in LUCY's
head get louder and louder, so loud that it hurts her head and
stops running. She doubles over, holding her head in her hands in
a vain attempt to block out the voices.
LUCY
Shut up! Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!
LUCY's legs give way and she falls to the ground, still holding
her head in her hands. The voices continue when a ringtone is
heard. It breaks through the voice which fade away. *FADES BACK
INTO COLOUR AT THIS POINT UNTIL END* Still on the ground and
having no energy to get up, she searches her pockets, digs out
her phone and looks at the screen. Roxanne is calling. Lucy
presses "accept" and places the phone to her ear.
LUCY
Hello?
ROXANNE (ON PHONE)
Lucy! I've tried calling before, but you didn't pick up. Where
are you?
LUCY
I'm sorry, Roxanne. It's a long story.
As she speaks, she runs a hand through her hair and uses a weary
tone of voice, as though drained by her ordeal.
4) HOUSE – LIVING ROOM - INT/DAY (SHOT IN COLOUR)
ROXANNE is curled up in an armchair with her phone to her ear.
She examines her chipping nail varnish as she talks to LUCY on
the phone. A pair of men's boots can be seen, casually resting on
the coffee table. These are the same boots that LUCY tripped over
earlier.

4. ROXANNE
All right, we can talk about this later. You'd better get
yourself home; there's someone here to see you.
LUCY (ON PHONE)
Who?
ROXANNE
He says his name is Lucas. You've never mentioned him before.
5) PARK – INT/DAY (SHOT IN COLOUR)
LUCY is still sitting on the ground, looking confused at the
name; she doesn't know a Lucas.
LUCY
What? But--
ROXANNE
Tell me when you get back; I'm low on credit. Bye, love.
ROXANNE hands up. A dial tone is heard. LUCY puts her phone back
in her pocket and shakily stands up, running a hand through her
hair once more. She walks off, exiting the park and towards home.
6) HOUSE – HALLWAY – INT/DAY (SHOT IN COLOUR)
The front door opens and LUCY steps through, closing the door
behind her. She steps into the doorway of the living room.
ROXANNE
Ah, there you are. Lucas and I were just talking about you.
LUCY doesn't respond. Instead, her gaze moves to look at LUCAS
and a look of fear crosses her face. LUCAS is the young man that
has been haunting her all day, driving to the brink of insanity.
He sits on the sofa, smirking his evil smirk.
