A fiction script that is written by a young Mass Communications student in an Advertising major. With Broadcasting as my minor, this script helped me improve my skills as a future copywriter and to one day be a scriptwriter myself for a motion picture. This script was nominated for 'Best Script' in a student appreciation event managed by Taylor's University. The event is known as the 'Students Talent Appreciation and Recognition (STAR) Awards'.

1. EXT. ROADSIDE- NIGHT

2. The road is dark, only being illuminated by dull lights from
the street lamps. The trees blows back and forth from the
wind’s whistling blow. The sound of a woman panting can be
heard in the dark streets. Her name was ELLIOT MCKENZIE, 17.
She’s bleeding from her left shoulder. A deep cut can be seen.
Her brunette hair has been cut unevenly short. Tears were
dripping from her big swollen eyes. She was running. Running
out of fear.
ELLIOT
(shouting)
Somebody help me! Anyone! Save me from this mad man!
She’s screaming loudly but to no avail, her cry for help was
not answered. He tripped and fell to the ground. Falling under
the lights of the street lamp. He looked behind him and saw a
shadow emerging into the light. A HOODED MAN stepped into the
light. The Hooded Man was wearing a black jacket and black
jeans. The hood was hiding the identity of the unknown man.
Only darkness can be soon from his face.
HOODED MAN
(deep voice)
No one is coming to save you Elliot.
His sinister voice stoke the fear within ELLIOT. She froze.
ELLIOT
W-w-why...are you d-doing...this.
She stutters, trying to understand why the HOODED MAN was
trying to kill her.
ELLIOT
W-what did...I e-ever do t-to...you.
HOODED MAN
(deep voice)
It’s not what you did to me Elliot. I just chose you as my
next victim.
ELLIOT
(frightened)
Wh-who are you? How do y-you know my n-name?

3. HOODED MAN
(deep voice)
Are these words really going to be your last? Shame. You were
a brilliant speaker Elliot.
ELLIOT
(frightened)
H-how would you kn-know that?
HOODED MAN
(deep voice)
You’re a smart girl Elliot. You’ll figure it out. In hell.
The HOODED MAN brought out a pair of bloody scissors and
lifted it up high over his head.
ELLIOT
Wait it’s you...
He pressed the scissors down hard onto ELLIOT’S neck. Her eyes
open wide as she realizes who the HOODED MAN was. She let out
her last breathe and the lights fade out from her eyes.
2. INT. CLASSROOM- DAY
The classroom is quiet. The air is cold from the sheer power
of the air conditioner. All around, faces of students distort
as they try to answer the final paper of their semester. It is
a tough season for the students of Hawkins International
School. A well-built teenager, ADAM MAXIMUS PARKER, 17, sits
by the window. The popular boy has blondish hair and brown
eyes. His grades reflects his intelligence amongst his peers.
He is sitting silently while resting his eyes until a man
approached him. The physics teacher, DR. ALBUS KIRKE, 42.
DR KIRKE
Mr. Parker. Done, are you?
DR. KIRKE looks young for someone who was well over 40 years
old. The coat he wears complements his slimish figure. His
pale white skin and sharp nose made him look like a vampire.
He is well-known in school for his strict nature and pompous

4. attitude. The arrogant man got fired from his job as a
professor in Harvard University for allegedly having sexual
relations with a female student. That event put a drift
between his wife and it definitely shows that in his strict
nature.
ADAM
As always, Mr Kirke.
DR. KIRKE
That’s Dr. Kirke to you Mr. Parker.
ADAM
My apologies, Dr. Kirke.
DR. KIRKE
It has only been 30 minutes since the exam has started and you
are done?
ADAM
I wouldn’t have been called the school genius if I haven’t
done so. Right, Dr. Kirke?
DR. KIRKE gave ADAM an unappreciated stare as if to challenge
him.
DR. KIRKE
That would indeed be true Mr. Parker. Then I guess you would
have to wait for another hour and a half. Just like all the
other times.
ADAM gave him a bright smile to show that he was unfazed by
his words
ADAM
Gladly.
DR. KIRKE made a swift turn and the sound of his footsteps can
be heard breaking the silence again. He speaks loud to inform
the students of the time remaining.
DR. KIRKE
(authoritively)
You have one hour and 30 minutes left!

5. DR. KIRKE turned around swiftly before making his
announcement. ADAM let out a heavy sigh and continued to rest
his eyes.
3. INT. SCHOOL HALLWAY- DAY
The hallway is filled with students. Students are seen jumping
with joy from finishing their mid-term papers. Although, not
everyone in Hawkins International School are happy. ADAM
walked past a locker that was surrounded with flowers. There
was a crowd encircling the locker. From the crowd, a FEMALE
STUDENT, 17, and a MALE STUDENT, 17, can be seen crying in
front of ELLIOT’S locker.
FEMALE STUDENT
(sobbing)
Oh Elliot, I’m so sorry.
MALE STUDENT
(depressed)
You were a good person Elliot. It wasn’t suppose to end like
this.
FEMALE STUDENT
(crying)
I swear to god Elliot! I’ll find that serial killer and I’ll
kill whoever did this to you.
A few hours ago, the news of a student passing away named
ELLIOT MCKENZIE broke out. ADAM frowned as he walked up her
locker. The hallway is getting packed as more students were
gathering around ELLIOT’S locker. Adam started to look tense.
His knees are getting weak. His arms looks heavy. Palms are
sweaty.
ADAM
(softly)
Excuse me. Could you let me pass through?
ADAM tried to get the crowd’s attention. No one could hear his
soft voice. His breathing gets heavier and faster.
ADAM

6. (heavy breathes)
Shit. I have to get out of here quickly.
He forced his way to the crowd. But to no avail, he couldn’t
stand any longer. Just like a feather, he fell to the ground
slowly.
4. INT. POLICE STATION- DAY
The police station is hectic. Everyone is busy figuring out
who is the serial killer that has been murdering rampantly for
the past month. A woman wearing a suit was walking towards the
Chief of Police’s office. The woman is DETECTIVE AlICIA BYERS,
22. She brisked up her pace with her long legs. A holster can
be seen attached to her slim waist. Her short auburn hair and
sharp eyes was fitting for a rookie detective like her. She
burst open the door.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Dad! We need to talk.
The man she is talking is CHIEF JIM BYERS, 51, the Chief of
Police at Hawkins Police Station and ALICIA’S father. He spat
out coffee as the sound of the door shocked him and his
chevron moustache got stained. He was wearing a white shirt
fitted with overalls. His hair was turning gray. The wrinkles
of his forehead can be seen from afar. The middle-ages man
stood up slowly as his back was aching.
CHIEF BYERS
How many times do I have to tell you Detective Alicia? You
call me Chief (emphasise) at work. This is a professional
environment.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Well then Chief, When are you going to assign me on
apprehending the Hawkins Serial Killer?
CHIEF BYERS
Detective, it’s only been a few months since you’ve joined the
police force. You’re not ready to handle a task like this.
DETECTIVE ALICIA

7. (eagerly)
How do you expect me to believe that if you don’t give me the
chance to prove myself. I can do it.
CHIEF BYERS
Look here Detective, it’s not easy getting leads. This serial
killer is like a ghost. This person erases every single piece
of evidence that we could think of.
CHIEF BYERS explains to her daughter with a profound tone.
CHIEF BYERS
No fingerprints. No DNA samples. Nothing. The only thing we
find are dead bodies and the murder weapons. Even our best men
cannot find this serial killer. I can’t risk you getting out
in the field not knowing what could happen.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
But we have a lead. All of the victims are from Hawkins
International School. There has to be a co-relation towards
that and the serial killer.
CHIEF BYERS
Okay, I know why you’re so keen on finding this murder. It’s
about Adam isn’t it.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
(worried)
He studies there dad! He could be next!
CHIEF BYERS
You don’t have to worry about anything. We will find the
serial killer.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
It’ll be quicker if I was part of the investi-
DETECTIVE ALICIA’S phone started ringing from her pockets
before she could finish her sentence. She answered it out of
frustration.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Hello? Yes this is Alicia Byers. He fainted again? (panic)

8. DETECTIVE ALICIA is showing a worrisome look.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
(worried)
Okay, I’m coming now. Thank you
DETECTIVE ALICIA hangs up the call and packs her stuff in a
hurry.
CHIEF BYERS
What’s wrong? What happened?
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Its Adam. He fainted again. I have to go Chief.
DETECTIVE ALICIA gave a long serious look at CHIEF BYERS
before she went out the door.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
I’m not taking no for an answer Chief. You will assignment me
to investigate the killer.
CHIEF BYERS could no longer handle her feisty personality
anymore. He reluctantly gave up.
CHIEF BYERS
Fine. I will assign you to be part of the investigation.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
(satisfied)
Good.
5. EXT. SCHOOL INFIRMARY- DAY
ADAM was lying on the infirmary bed. DETECTIVE ALICIA was
sitting by his side. She was calling out his name.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
(softly)
dam...Adam....Adam!
Adam was half-awake. He heard parts of what she said.
ADAM

9. (half-awake)
What? Where am I?
ADAM sat up slowly. He made eye contact with his childhood
friend, DETECTIVE ALICIA. The two are five years apart but
people could see that they were inseparable. DETECTIVE ALICIA
would often act as the role of ADAM’S caretaker whenever his
parents are away from home.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
You’re in the infirmary. I got a call from the principal
saying that you fainted. Did you have another panic attack?
ADAM smiled when he heard the question that often came out of
her mouth.
ADAM
Yes, I did. You do not need to worry Alicia. I assure you that
I’m fine.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
That’s what you said the last time but you still had to be
hospitalized.
ADAM
The last time doesn’t mean anything. I’m still alive aren’t I?
ADAM got out of the bed and proceeded to walk towards the
door.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Adam, stop.
ADAM abruptly halted his movement. He turned around to face
DETECTIVE ALICIA
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Where do you think you’re going?
ADAM
(sarcasm)
Uhhhh...I’m going to go collect my Nobel Prize in Geneva for
discovering the cure to cancer.

10. DETECTIVE ALICIA had no change in her expression. She gave him
a serious look.
ADAM
I’m walking home.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Absolutely not. I will not allow you to walk home alone when
there is a serial killer out in the streets.
ADAM
Alicia please-
DETECTIVE ALICIA
You’re going to come with me to the morgue. I need to check up
on the autopsy examination of the latest murder victim. That
way I can keep an eye on you.
ADAM
Come on Alicia. What kind of teenage boy wants to see a dead
body on their year-end break?
DETECTIVE ALICIA
(yelling)
One who has a friend who is worried about his safety.
DETECTIVE ALICIA raised her voice. Adam got slightly shocked
by her sudden change in volume.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to yell like that. I’m just worried
about you Adam. The past three victims have all been students
from your school. I can’t lose yo-
The conversation got cut off from the sound of the door
slamming open. A tall, muscular boy with curly puffy hair
entered the room. The boy is MITCH CONNOR, a long time
classmate of ADAM. The two have been in the same class for
three years.
MITCH
Yo genius! I heard that you fainted.
ADAM

11. Yes I did Mitch. As you can see I am awake now.
MITCH
Dude, that’s like the third time this month. We should
probably get you checked up. Oh, who's this? We don’t seem to
have ever met.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
No we have not. Hi, I’m Alicia.
DETECTIVE ALICIA reached out her hand to greet MITCH.
MITCH
I’m Mitch. It’s a pleasure to meet you.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Likewise.
MITCH wrapped his arm around ADAM’S shoulder and gave ADAM a
big smile to show his friendliness. DETECTIVE ALICIA smirked
seeing the two interact like so and ADAM caught a glimpse of
that.
ADAM
Mitch. I appreciate you being worried about me but, (pause)
the doctors can’t help me with my claustrophobia. I’ve had it
since I was a kid. They can’t fix me.
ADAM took MITCH’S arm off his shoulder.
ADAM
So if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be heading home now.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
(frowning)
I can’t let you go alone Adam.
DETECTIVE ALICIA’S willpower is unwavering. She wouldn’t let
ADAM off the hook. ADAM looked towards MITCH and he thought of
an idea.
ADAM

12. Okay how about this? You don’t want me walk home alone so,
Mitch can escort me home. This way, you’ll know I’ll be safe
and you can still go for the autopsy examination.
MITCH
(mildly surprised)
Yeah, I can take him home. It’s better this way too
considering his stubbornness.
ADAM
(excited)
Once you’re done, we can finally catch up on Game of Thrones.
DETECTIVE ALICIA thought long and hard. She didn’t know MITCH
well so she couldn’t rule out the possibility of him being the
serial killer. But seeing his personality persuaded her enough
to entrust ADAM’S life to him.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Okay, I’ll accept that. Please take care of Adam will you.
MITCH
You have nothing to worry about.
6. EXT. ABBEY STREET- DAY
The two boys are walking down Abbey Street. The setting sun
gave the sky a warm orange colour. Children were rushing home
on their bikes. Birds chirping could be heard from a distance.
MITCH
(proudly)
Then I made a big slam dunk! That was the best moment of my
life. I could see the tears in the coach’s eyes when he saw
the team lifted the trophy. Next month, we’re going for
nationals and we’ll be the best team in the country.
ADAM
(happy)
That’s really great Mitch. I’m happy for you.

13. ADAM gave MITCH a big smile.
ADAM
I really hope you win in the upcoming tournament.
MITCH
Thanks Adam. But, I couldn’t have done it without the team.
Well enough about me, how was your debate competition a last
week?
ADAM
(conceited)
We won. Was there ever any doubt? The opposition should have
just not showed up. It makes no difference.
MITCH
(sarcastic)
When is it ever not easy for you Adam?
ADAM
Never have. Never will. You know me Mitch. I crush my
opponents.
ADAM held his fist tightly. The sound of his cracking was
loud.
MITCH
It’s too bad Elliot isn’t around to live the same glory as the
debate team eh?
ADAM briskly walked forward in reaction to MITCH’S remark.
MITCH
Do you not want to talk about it Adam?
ADAM
No.
MITCH
Okay, whatever makes you happy Adam.

14. ADAM was walking in front of MITCH to avoid any more pep talk.
Eventually, the pair arrived at the front gates of ADAM’S
house.
ADAM
Well Mitch, I thank you for your service. Now if you’ll excuse
me, I would like to get some rest.
MITCH
Hang on a minute.
AdDAM halted and turned around to face his friend.
MITCH
I know today has been a rough day for you. A fellow member of
your debate team passed away. I could only imagine how you’re
feeling right now.
MITCH was trying to comfort his friend from grieving.
MITCH
Just know this. If you need any help, I’m always there for you
buddy.
ADAM
Thank you Mitch. I’ll come find you when I need you.
7. INT. ADAM’S BATHROOM- NIGHT
ADAM entered the bathroom half naked and proceeded to turn on
the lights. The bathroom is considerably large. The walls are
white and are accompanied by tiled floors. ADAM turned the tap
and washed his face.
ADAM
Mannnnn. Today was a long day.
He took a long look at himself in the mirror. He was
remembering what MITCH just told him.
ADAM
Hehe.

15. The expression of his face began to change. His face looks
twisted and evil. He laughed hysterically.
ADAM
HAHAHAHAHAHA. Ohhhh man. What a load of fucking bullshit.
8. INT. FORENSIC LAB- NIGHT
The room was quiet. A FORENSIC SCIENTIST, 31, could be seen
sitting in front of his desk, working. Lonely nights like this
are not uncommon in the lab. Footsteps could be heard coming
towards the lab. The doorknob turned and DETECTIVE ALICIA
entered the lab.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Hi, I’m Detective Alicia. I was told by the Chief that I could
find information about the victim that died last night.
The FORENSIC SCIENTIST turned startled. He was not expecting
any visitors at this time of night.
FORENSIC SCIENTIST
Who are you? I was not told anything.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
My name is Alicia Byers. I’ve been assigned to investigate the
Hawkins Serial Killer.
FORENSIC SCIENTIST
Byers? As in Chief Byers?
DETECTIVE ALICIA
I’m his daughter. You can call me Detective Alicia.
FORENSIC SCIENTIST
Well who knew that the Chief had a beautiful looking daughter.
The FORENSIC SCIENTIST got close to DETECTIVE ALICIA
attempting to flirt with her. DETECTIVE ALICIA rolled her eyes
and twisted his arm.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Back off lover boy. You don’t want to be prosecuted for sexual
harassment now do you?

16. The FORENSIC SCIENTIST screamed in agony.
FORENSIC SCIENTIST
Jesus! You really are the Chief’s daughter alright.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Enough! Tell me about the victim.
FORENSIC SCIENTIST
Well there’s nothing much to say. The killing really live up
to the Hawkins Serial Killer’s reputation. The murder weapon
was a pair of scissors. Straight to the neck.
The FORENSIC SCIENTIST showed gruesome pictures of the victim.
It showed ELLIOT MCKENZIE’S eyes wide open. The scissors was
stabbed right in the middle of her throat.
FORENSIC SCIENTIST
Whoever the killer is, it might as well be a phantom. There
are signs of the victim’s neck being strangled but there are
no fingerprints of both the neck or scissors. The murderer was
probably wearing gloves to hide that.
DETECTIVE ALICIA listened to the FORENSIC SCIENTIST’S
explanation carefully.
FORENSIC SCIENTIST
There are no blood samples. This could mean that the victim
didn’t put up a fight. There are no traces of semen anywhere
of the body. So, it could mean that the victim was not raped
beforehand.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
What about hair?
FORENSIC SCIENTIST
The police have searched the murder site high and low. There
are no DNA evidence there. The victim died in an empty street
in the middle of night. So no witnesses, no fingerprints and
no blood samples. The murder was was calculatedly planned.
Anything else Detective?

17. The FORENSIC SCIENTIST asked her sarcastically. He was
received by a deathly glare from her. He turned away as he
regretted mocking DETECTIVE ALICIA.
FORENSIC SCIENTIST
Well there is one thing though? What we do know is the when
the victim died.
The FORENSIC SCIENTIST went to walk to his desk to check for
data about the blood sample.
FORENSIC SCIENTIST
Based on the the victim’s blood sample, I’d say she died half
an hour after midnight.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
(confused)
What was a 17 year-old high school girl doing at an abandoned
street in the middle night.
DETECTIVE ALICIA kept silent. Thinking of more possible clues.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Where did the murder happen?
FORENSIC SCIENTIST
Look Detective. I only do the analyzing in this station.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
(aggressive)
You must know something!
DETECTIVE ALICIA slammed a nearby table.
FORENSIC SCIENTIST
(scared)
Okay, calm down. I may have overheard something from the other
policemen. I think they said something about the murder
happening in Old Wilkin Street.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Old Wilkin Street? That’s-
FORENSIC SCIENTIST
(confused)

18. Is there something wrong Detective.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Yeah, I’m alright. I’m fine. Thank you for all your help.
DETECTIVE ALICIA left the lab leaving the FORENSIC SCIENTIST
confused about her reaction. DETECTIVE ALICIA whispers to
herself.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
(soft but powerful)
I’m going to find this guy and I’m going to put him behind
bars.
9. INT. ADAM’S BEDROOM- NIGHT
ADAM finished showering and entered his room by kicking his
door open. He is laughing maniacally with a twisted face.
ADAM
Oh man, everyone around me are such idiots. Thinking I need
their help.
ADAM wore a shirt and and picked up darts by his side table.
He threw the darts to a dartboard with MITCH’S picture of it.
ADAM
(mocking)
If you need any help, I’m always there for you buddy. Hah. All
you will ever be is a muscled idiot.
ADAM was speaking and laughing in a tone no one but him has
heard before.
ADAM
Oh I can’t wait for the day where suck out the life out of
your body Mitch but, until then.
ADAM walked towards a mirror with a deranged expression.
ADAM
(wicked)
Mirror , mirror on the wall. Who is next on the list to die.

19. Knowing no one was around to answer his question, he asked his
reflection a rhetoric question.
ADAM
Oh, what was that? Dr. Kirke? Excellent choice Adam. That man
has always been a pain in my ass.
ADAM opened his wardrobe to see a black hoodie jacket. The
same jacket he’s used in every killing he’s done so far. He
grabbed it and started smelling it.
ADAM
No pungent smell of blood anywhere. Clean as a whistle.
ADAM wore his hoodie together with his black jeans.
ADAM
But man did Elliot gave me a tough time. That slut really put
up a fight. That’s what you get for trying to compete for my
spot in the debate team.
ADAM took out nitrile rubber gloves from his drawer and
started wearing them.
ADAM
Well, let’s do some purging shall we.
10. INT. INTERIOR OF A CAR- NIGHT
DETECTIVE ALICIA was driving by Old Wilkin Road. The radio was
playing an annoying hit song but DETECTIVE ALICIA paid it no
attention. Her eyes were glued to the road but her mind was
drifting.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
(sighing)
Old Wilkin Road huh?
She drove and stopped next to an abandoned house. An old and
burned house. She stared at the house and memories of an event
came into her mind.

20. FLASHBACK: 10 YEARS AGO
11. EXT. BURNING HOUSE- NIGHT
The night was dark but it was filled with burning lights.
Explosions and burning flames turned the surrounding flaming
hot. Onlookers watched in horror as the house was burning to
the ground. The sound of sirens came into the scene and
firemen rushed out to put the fires out. Two children are
still trapped in the house. CHIEF BYERS and the CHIEF’S WIFE,
38, were begging the firemen to save them.
CHIEF BYERS
Please! My daughter and her friend are still in there. Please
save them!
A VETERAN FIREMAN, 36, came out of the house after a few
minutes. In his arms was a YOUNG DETECTIVE ALICIA. She was
barely moving. All of her energy was drained from the fire.
However, she still told the VETERAN FIREMAN that ADAM was
still trapped. He carried her over to the CHIEF’S WIFE. She
carried the YOUNG DETECTIVE ALICIA.
CHIEF’S WIFE
Oh Alicia. I’m so glad you’re safe baby.
YOUNG DETECTIVE ALICIA
Mom...A..ADAM is still i..in there.
VETERAN FIREMAN
Don’t worry. We’ll find him. Men! Let’s go.
12. INT. BURNING HOUSE- NIGHT
The VETERAN FIREMAN and his crew went into the burning house
to search for YOUNG ADAM.
VETERAN FIREMAN
(shouting)
Hey kid! Can you hear me? Go search the bedroom!
The VETERAN FIREMAN gave out orders to his men. After a while.
They could hear a soft but desperate voice.
YOUNG ADAM

21. (soft)
I’m in here.
VETERAN FIREMAN
He’s over here! Hang on kid! We’ll get you out.
YOUNG ADAM
(crying)
Please help me quick. The walls are closing in.
YOUNG ADAM was trapped in a closet from playing hide and seek
with YOUNG ALICIA. His breathing gets faster.
YOUNG ADAM
(crying)
Get me out of here please!
VETERAN FIREMAN
Get me the axe!
The VETERAN FIREMAN started chopping the closet open with
force. From outside, YOUNG DETECTIVE ALICIA could only watch
the fiery scene of the arms of her mother.
YOUNG DETECTIVE ALICIA
(worried)
Adam...
FLASHBACK ENDS
13. INT. INTERIOR OF A CAR
The loud electronic music from the radio brought DETECTIVE
ALICIA back to reality. Realizing how late it is, she starts
her journey home. Still shaken from the old memories, her mind
was still wavering until she sees two figures coming up the
Old Wilkin Road. One of the figure was wearing a hooded jacket
and held a knife.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Wait, is that?
Realizing that it was the Hawkins Serial Killer, DETECTIVE
ALICIA pulled the handbrake and rushed out her car.

22. 14. EXT. OLD WILKIN ROAD- NIGHT
ADAM was walking up close to DR. KIRKE under the street
lights. He was laughing cynically and that made DR. KIRKE feel
more fear. DR. KIRKE is bleeding badly from his abdomen. He is
barely alive. His eyes looks dead.
ADAM
(deep voice)
Well, well, well. Is this how it’s going to end for you?
DR. KIRKE
What do you want? You told me to come here but now you’re
trying to kill me.
ADAM
(deep voice)
It’s so easy to manipulate you. Once someone tries to bring up
your past, you get so weak
DR. KIRKE looks up to ADAM. Not knowing his identity, he looks
like a defenceless animals in ADAM’S eyes.
ADAM
(deep voice)
Maybe your wife, would appreciate your death.
DR. KIRKE
You shut up about my wife bastard!
ADAM
(deep voice)
We both know that the relationship with your wife is going
stale. It’s only a matter of time before you get a divorce. Do
you wife a favour and let her be a widow.
DR. KIRKE
Who are you? How do you know about my life?
ADAM
(deep voice)
Oh you know who I am, DR. (emphasise) KIRKE.

23. DR. KIRKE’S eyes grew through the realization of the hooded
man is.
DR. KIRKE
Adam?
ADAM
(smug)
In the flesh.
ADAM raises his hand and stabs DR. KIRKE in the chest. ADAM
smiles creepily. His eyes go blind from bright lights in front
of him. He hears a familiar voice calling out to him.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Hey! Stop right there.
ADAM
(softly)
Alicia?
DETECTIVE ALICIA runs towards his direction. She holds up a
gun and take a shooting position.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Put your hands up in the air or I will shoot.
Not wanting to get shot, ADAM raises his arms. DETECTIVE
ALICIA takes out her smartphone and attempts to contact CHIEF
BYERS.
CHIEF BYERS
Yes Detective Alicia? We’re busy here in the station.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
I found the murderer
CHIEF BYERS
What?
DETECTIVE ALICIA
(shouting)
I said I found the murderer!

24. CHIEF BYERS
Where are you? I’ll send some people over for reinforcements.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
I’m at Old Wilkins Road.
CHIEF BYERS
Old Wilkins Road? Why would-
DETECTIVE ALICIA
There’s no time. A man’s dying right now. Quickly.
During the conversation between DETECTIVE ALICIA and CHIEF
BYERS, ADAM moves backwards slowly.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Hey! Don’t you move a muscle.
ADAM
(deep voice)
Tell me detective. What’s your name?
DETECTIVE ALICIA
What does it matter? You’ll be in prison for a long time
anyway.
ADAM is talking with DETECTIVE ALICIA in order to distract her
and create a chance to escape. He slowly slides his foots
backwards.
ADAM
(deep voice)
Can’t I at least know the name of the woman that manages to
capture me?
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Hmph. The name’s DETECTIVE ALICIA BYERS. Remember that name
when you’re locked forever.
ADAM
(deep voice)
Oh I will detective. Just not in prison.

25. ADAM takes a swift step to the back and out of the light.
DETECTIVE ALICIA shoots at ADAM’S direction but nothing
happen. Like a ghost, he disappears into the darkness.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
(frustrated)
Dammit!
CHIEF BYERS
DETECTIVE ALICIA? Do you copy? What happened.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Yes, I’m here. The murderer got away. Just get an ambulance
here ASAP.
CHIEF BYERS
Will do.
DETECTIVE ALICIA ends the call runs to DR. KIRKE.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
(comforting)
Hey, stay with me. The ambulance is on the way. I need you to
hold out for me, okay?
DR. KIRKE could not hold out any longer. The bleeding from his
chest and abdomen is too much. The ambulance will take too
long. From then and there, DR KIRKE passed tragically.
DETECTIVE ALICIA let out a deep regret. She looks down and
sees something interesting.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
What is this?
It seems that DR. KIRKE left a dying message before his death.
The message is written in blood that was left from his finger.
The letter ‘A’ can be seen by DR. KIRKE’S corpse.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
‘A’? Did he try to telling me the identity of the murderer?
I’ve got to get to the bottom of this.
1 WEEK LATER

26. 15. INT. CLASSROOM- DAY
ADAM is attending class. A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER, 29, is
replacing the late DR, KIRKE. Most of the students are on edge
due to the news of DR. KIRKE’S death a week ago.
SUBSTITUTE TEACHER
So according to Archimedes’ law of buoyancy, it is an upward
force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight-
ADAM is not paying the new SUBSTITUTE TEACHER, 33, any
attention. He treats the lesson as background noise. In his
mind, he is only thinking about his next killing plan. MITCH
whispers out to him from the next table over.
MITCH
Hey ADAM.
ADAM
What do you want MITCH?
MITCH
Are you free later after school? I thought maybe we could hang
out you know.
ADAM
I can’t. I have a meeting with my debate team after school.
ADAM could not handle the thought of spending time with MITCH
after school. He lies about his meeting to avoid a social
event with MITCH
MITCH
C’mon man. You’ve been out of it ever since DR, KIRKE’S
passing.
MITCH is right about that. But, it is not because of DR.
KIRKE’S passing. It’s because DETECTIVE ALICIA almost captured
ADAM from his last killing.
MITCH
The basketball team is taking a break from practice today. So
I was thinking we could go grab something to eat.

27. ADAM
(annoyed)
No Mitch, I don’t want to.
ADAM raised his voice and everyone looks to him.
SUBSTITUTE TEACHER
Yes, Mr. Parker. Is there something you would like to add to
the lesson?
ADAM
No miss. I’m sorry for the sudden interruption. Please proceed
with the class.
The SUBSTITUTE TEACHER nodded and proceeded with the lesson.
The class calmed down and ADAM glares towards MITCH.
ADAM
Not today MITCH. I am not in the mood.
MITCH
Why are you acting like this?
ADAM
(irritated)
That’s none of your business.
MITCH
What is wrong with you ADAM? I’m just worried about your well-
being.
ADAM gets off his chair with force.
ADAM
(irritated and angered)
Shut the fuck up MITCH!
SUBSTITUTE TEACHER
(furious)
Mr. Parker! I will not tolerate this behaviour! Go to the
principal's office right this instant!
The sudden outburst by ADAM stuns MITCH. ADAM realizes his
mistakes and leaves the classroom.

28. 16. INT. ADAM’S BEDROOM- DAY
ADAM slams his door open. He flings his bag roughly of the
bed. He unbuttons his T-shirt and slams it to the ground.
ADAM
MITCH you little shit. How dare you embarrass me like that in
front of the class. For three years, I had to deal with you.
I’ve had enough.
This is the time. ADAM has kept this within him for far too
long. He is finally going to hurt MITCH. ADAM takes out a
knife below his bed.
ADAM
You’re dead meat MITCH.
ADAM’S frustration was getting him. He’s slowly losing his
mind. He calms down after assessing his current situation.
ADAM
I’m in hot water though. I can’t kill him now. Think ADAM,
think! You’re the smarter than this.
ADAM is in the middle of devising a plan. A plan to get rid of
MITCH out of his life. He closes his eyes. Thinking. Forming.
Preparing.
ADAM
Hmph. I’ve got it.
ADAM picks up his smartphone to contact MITCH.
MITCH
Hey man. I want to talk to you. Could you meet me at the
basketball court near my house. Yeah, that would be much
appreciative. See you then.
ADAM hangs up. He opens a drawer and picks up a knife out of
all his collections. He makes a sinister looking face.
ADAM

29. You won’t be able to see the light after this MITCH.
17. EXT. BASKETBALL COURT- NIGHT
The night feels strange than most days. Trees stand still from
the absence of the wind. The temperature is colder than most
nights. Clouds are blocking the view of the moon and the stars
that illuminate the darkness. Court lights shines onto the
basketball court. Sounds of a ball bouncing onto the concrete
floor breaks the silence. MITCH is alone on the court, waiting
for ADAM.
MITCH
What’s taking Adam so long? He’s usually never this late.
ADAM
Mitch!
MITCH
Speak of the devil.
ADAM,carrying a bag, runs towards MITCH at the end of the
court.
ADAM
Hey man. I just want to apologize for my sudden outburst
earlier today.
MITCH
No harm done. Can’t say I wasn’t surprise though. It’s my
first time seeing you react like that.
ADAM
I’ve just been really afraid about the murders recently. I’m
sorry about what I said. I didn’t mean that.
MITCH
Don’t sweat it. Come on. Let’s play a games. 1 v 1 me scrub.
MITCH turns around and shows his back to ADAM. It is the
perfect opportunity for ADAM. With swift movements, he
strangles MITCH with his arm.
MITCH

30. (choking)
Ad-Adam. Wh-what are you doing?
ADAM
(whispering)
Shhhhh. Quiet Mitch. I need you to sleep.
MITCH coughs. Moments later, he passes out from the lack of
airflow. ADAM picks up a flip phone from his bag. He contacts
the police station while impersonating in a feminine tone.
POLICEWOMAN
Hello, how may I help you.
ADAM
(frantic)
Hello, I saw a hooded man walking towards a young man in my
area. I think it’s the serial killer.
POLICEWOMAN
(hurried)
Can I know where is your location?
ADAM
(frantic)
Yes, I’m at a basketball court in Abbey Street. Please hurry.
Oh no, I think he sees me. I have to go.
POLICEWOMAN
Hang on ma’am, we’ll be there as soon-
ADAM hangs up the call. He drops the phone and breaks it with
his foot. He grabs a roll of tape from the bag he brought.
ADAM
Now to deal with you.
18. INT. POLICE STATION- NIGHT
CHIEF BYERS is giving a briefing on the Hawkins Serial Killer
in a discussion room. No one is near solving the latest clue
about the murder. Inside the room, pictures of the previous

31. murders and DR. KIRKE’S murder are being shown. POLICEMAN ,
27, gives out his opinion in the matter.
POLICEMAN
Maybe the ‘A’ is suppose to represent a month in the calender.
Like April. It could be the year the culprit was born.
POLICEWOMAN
Illogical. Why would anyone say the birth month of the culprit
as a dying wish?
A POLICEWOMAN, 28, refutes the claim.
POLICEMAN
What do you suggest?
POLICEWOMAN
It has to be a name. The victim just didn’t have enough time
to write it down.
INVESTIGATOR
We’ve investigated most of the people that are familiar with
the victim. The names that do start with ‘A’ all have alibis.
An INVESTIGATOR, 39, explains whilst leaning against the wall.
INVESTIGATOR
Family, friends and even co-workers. They are not the
murderer. Chief, your daughter was at the scene. There must be
something else.
CHIEF BYERS
Detective Alicia says that the killer had a deep voice. So, it
is safe to say that the killer is a male. Other than the
gender and the dying message, there is nothing else.
The room falls silent. No one could say anything.
CHIEF BYERS
It’s clear that we have no more leads. Let’s stop this meeting
here. You’re all dismissed.

32. Everyone walks out of the room to either go home or continue
working. CHIEF BYERS heads towards his office. He enters and
sees DETECTIVE ALICIA sitting by his desk.
CHIEF BYERS
(chuckles)
Feels good doesn’t it?
DETECTIVE ALICIA
It does. Maybe once you retire, this will be mine.
CHIEF BYERS
Oh it will be a long time till this old man dies. What do you
want to talk about Alicia.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
(curious)
What ever happened to professional environment?
CHIEF BYERS pours a cup of coffee for DETECTIVE ALICIA and
himself.
CHIEF BYERS
I guess I can be a bit more lenient. After all, we are in a
sensitive time. It seems like that there is nothing we can do
about the serial killer.
CHIEF BYERS sips his cup of coffee to relieve his stressful
day.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Actually that’s why I’m here. Maybe we’ve been looking at case
wrongly.
CHIEF BYERS
What do you mean by that?
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Maybe the man we’re looking for is not a man. What if the
Hawkins Serial Killer is a student.
CHIEF BYERS
Are you saying that a minor has the capabilities to commit
such crimes? That is a tough accusation to back up Alicia.

33. DETECTIVE ALICIA
Think about it dad. There are no connections towards the
victims and all known suspects. A student must have a deeper
connection with Elliot McKenzie and Albus Kirke.
CHIEF BYERS listens to attentively to DETECTIVE ALICIA’S
claims.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
The Hawkins Serial Killer must have had a bad relationship
with these people and he killed them. These are not random
killings.
CHIEF BYERS
That makes sense. It would explain how we could never find his
identity. I’ll get someone to check with Hawkins International
School if there was anyone that knows anything.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Check if they know anyone that has bad blood with the vic-
POLICEWOMAN barges into the room, interrupting DETECTIVE
ALICIA mid-sentence.
POLICEMAN
Chief, you’re gonna want to hear this.
CHIEF BYERS
What is it?
POLICEMAN
We received an anonymous tip about the whereabouts of a hooded
man and he’s not alone. The caller says the hooded man is seen
beating up a young man.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
What? Where?
POLICEWOMAN
At a basketball court near Abbey Street.
CHIEF BYERS
Abbey Street? That’s-

34. DETECTIVE ALICIA
(devastated)
Adam!
DETECTIVE ALICIA rushes out of the room.
19. EXT. BASKETBALL COURT- NIGHT
MITCH opens his eyes. He finds himself being tied with tape
against the basketball post.
ADAM
Oh. Looks like Sleeping Beauty is awake. How was the nap? Did
you enjoy it?
MITCH
Adam! What are you doing? Why are my hands tied?
ADAM
What am I doing? Isn’t that obvious? I’m catching the killer,
Mitch. You.
MITCH
What are you talking about Adam. I’m not the killer.
ADAM gives a sinister smile. MITCH builds up fear from his
expression.
ADAM
If you’re not the killer, then why did you stab me?
MITCH
What stabbing? I’m tied up. How would I stab you?
ADAM
That’s enough Mitch. You’ve been caught.
ADAM is sees this as a game. He’s toying with MITCH.
Humiliating him. He spits on MITCH’S face.
ADAM
Do you know what I do to killer douchebags like you? I hurt
them.

35. ADAM punches MITCH in the eye.
ADAM
I break them.
ADAM knees MITCH in the face.
ADAM
I dismantle them.
ADAM jabs MITCH’S body and breaks a few ribs.
ADAM
But above all else, I kill them. Just like how I killed Elliot
and Dr. Kirke.
MITCH
You! You killed them!
ADAM
(calm)
No Mitch. You killed them. You’ve told me once that if I ever
needed any help, you would be there for me. So here we are. I
need your help to take the fall for me-
MITCH shows a face of disbelief. He never knew that the friend
he thought he had could so manipulative and evil.
ADAM
-but most importantly, I need you to die for me.
ADAM kick full frontally into MITCH’S face. ADAM chokes MITCH
again. MITCH breathes his last breath and dies. ADAM grabs a
knife from his bag and releases MTCH from his bindings.
ADAM
Well now it’s time for phase two.
ADAM switches MITCH’S clothes with his usual serial killer
costume. He dresses MITCH with the black hooded jacket and
black jeans. He hides MITCH’S clothes in his bag to hid the
evidence.
ADAM

36. Okay, now to make myself more believable.
ADAM hits his head against the floor.
ADAM
Ouch!
ADAM starts bleeding from his forehead. He hits himself more
and gets a black eye.
ADAM
Now it’s the last step.
ADAM grabs the knife and makes MITCH’S lifeless body to hold
it. ADAM directs his hand to stab ADAM in the stomach.
ADAM
Urghhhh. Son of a bitch!
Sounds of sirens fill the air. Bright red and blue lights
appear from the horizon.
ADAM
(painful)
Heh. Just in time. Ahhhh.
DETECTIVE ALICIA emerges into the scene. She sees ADAM wounded
and on the concrete floor. She runs to ADAM.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
(crying)
Adam! Come one. Stay with me. I can’t lose you.
ADAM
Alicia. Please, I don’t want to die.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
You’re not going to die Adam. I promise you that.
A police squad rushed to the basketball court. They see
MITCH’S dead body and covers it up. DETECTIVE ALICIA holds
ADAM in her arms to let him rest. ADAM gives a slight smirk
knowing that his plan works perfectly.

37. 20. INT. POLICE STATION- DAY
A week has passed since the incident of MITCH’S frame. MITCH
was trialed for murder and he could not prove his innocence.
In the end, MITCH was hanged. The police station has calmed
down, think that the Hawkins Serial Killer was caught. CHIEF
BYERS is happily strolling towards his office. As he enters,
he sees DETECTIVE ALICIA sitting at his desk again.
CHIEF BYERS
You know, you have to stop doing this Detective. It’s not your
to sit at yet.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Chief, don’t you think it’s weird.
CHIEF BYERS
(sarcastic)
Weird? As in you continuously sitting at my desk?
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Not that. How does the dying message connect with Mitch
Connor? Why would Albus Kirke write out the letter ‘A’?
CHIEF BYERS
Maybe he is an ‘A’ star student? Albus Kirke was a teacher. He
could be talking about his grades.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Mitch didn’t have excellent grades. He barely passed. The men
who interrogated the school staff said so. Chief, I think we
got the wrong guy.
CHIEF BYERS
If it is not Mitch, who are you implying it could be? You look
as if you know who the real killer is.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Dad, remember that anonymous person that called to report the
presence of the killer. When we got to the crime scene, there
was no such witness.
CHIEF BYERS looks dumbfound from her sudden statement.

38. DETECTIVE ALICIA
No one came by to the scene or the station about such a
report.
CHIEF BYERS
So what does this mean, it cannot be a false report if it were
true.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
(tearing up)
The culprit could be student, the dying message shows the
letter ‘A’ and there was a report made by a person that
doesn’t exist. Adam was in the scene of the crime.
CHIEF BYERS
Are you trying to say what I think you’re saying?
DETECTIVE ALICIA
(sobbing)
Dad, I think the Hawkins Serial Killer is Adam.
21. INT. HOSPITAL ROOM- DAY
ADAM lies down on a hospital bed. A television shows a news
report of how the Hawkins Serial Killer is dead. ADAM watches
with glee knowing his plan worked perfectly.
ADAM
Heh. It’s too easy. I just need to lay low for a while. Then,
I create a new persona.
DETECTIVE ALICIA walks into the room and slightly surprises
ADAM. He goes back to his pretending personality.
ADAM
Hey Alicia. What brings you here? You don’t have to come visit
so often. The doctor said I will be discharged soon.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Actually, the doctor said you can be discharged now. I’m here
to pick you up.
ADAM
(surprised)

39. Oh. I didn’t expect it to be so soon.
DETECTIVE
Come on. Let’s go.
22. INT. CAR INTERIOR- DAY
DETECTIVE ALICIA is on the wheel. ADAM is sitting in the front
passenger seat. There is an awkward silence between two. ADAM
could tell something is wrong. Usually, DETECTIVE ALICIA would
already be talking non-stop with him. ADAM tried to read
DETECTIVE ALICIA’S face but he could not understand what is
wrong. He tries to start off a conversation.
ADAM
So, how’s your day? Did anything interesting happen?
DETECTIVE ALICIA
It’s good. There’s nothing much to tell.
ADAM
Uh-huh.
Again, silence appears between the two. DETECTIVE ALICIA
continues driving forward. After a while, ADAM realizes that
the road they are taking is unfamiliar.
ADAM
Uhhh Alicia. This is not the way to my house.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
I know. Something came up in the station. I just have to be
there real quick.
ADAM
Okay sure.
ADAM finds this to be strange. He could feel that something is
not right.
23. INT. POLICE STATION- DAY
ADAM and DETECTIVE ALICIA enters the front door and CHIEF
BYERS is there to greet them.

40. CHIEF BYERS
Good afternoon detective. Good afternoon Adam. I hope the
wound you have is not too serious.
ADAM
Afternoon Mr. Byers. I’m feeling fine. It’s going to take much
more than a knife to kill me.
CHIEF BYERS
I’d assume so.
Even CHIEF BYERS is acting weird. ADAM knows that something is
not right but, he can’t do anything now.
CHIEF BYERS
Detective, please come this way. The thief you need to
interrogate is waiting.
CHIEF BYERS escorts DETECTIVE ALICIA and ADAM down the
hallway. ADAM studies every word they say and their body
language. He couldn’t figure out what it is that is making him
jittery. ADAM feels helpless. He feels as if all the people
they pass by are looking at him. Watching him. He can’t seem
to stand still. With all these thoughts inside ADAM’S head,
they’ve reach the interrogation room.
CHIEF BYERS
Here we are detective. That man is waiting for you inside.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Don’t worry chief. I’ll get that confession out of him.
DETECTIVE ALICIA enters the room.
CHIEF BYERS
So Adam, do you want to watch her interrogate the thief. It’ll
be your first time watching Detective Alicia in action.
ADAM could only agree to CHIEF BYERS’ question. There is
nothing he could. After all, he is in the heart of the police
force.
ADAM

41. Sure.
CHIEF BYERS opens the door and to ADAM’S surprise, it is the
real interrogation room. CHIEF BYERS pushes ADAM into the
room. ADAM is shock from the sudden thrust and falls down hard
onto the floor. The room is small and enclosing. There is a
mirror in the room to which ADAM assumes is a one-way mirror.
ADAM is getting tense and anxious. His stance gets unbalanced.
His forehead sweats heavily. He starts hyperventilating.
ADAM
(shouting)
What is the meaning of this? Why am I here?
The voice of DETECTIVE ALICIA and CHIEF BYERS reverberates
through speakers in the room.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
You know why you’re here Adam. You’ve killed those people.
ADAM
(hyperventilating)
Wh-what are you talking ab-about? Mitch ki-killed those pe-
people.
ADAM doesn’t know how long since when they suspects him. He
has to play the innocent card.
CHIEF BYERS
That’s enough Adam. We know the truth. We know that you framed
MItch Connor.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
I want to know why Adam. Why did you kill them.
ADAM
(hyperventilating)
I don’t know w-what you’re talking ab-about Alicia.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Of the night you killed Albus Kirke-
ADAM
(shouting)

42. I said I didn’t kill him.
ADAM cuts off DETECTIVE ALICIA to persistently insist that he
didn’t kill DR. KIRKE.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
ON the night Albus Kirke died, he left a dying message.
ADAM’S body shook. He is not aware of such information.
ADAM
(hyperventilating)
What do y-you mean? What does that h-have got to do w-with me?
CHIEF BYERS
The message Albus Kirke left was the letter ‘A’. Obviously we
could not know what that means then. But now, we have more
info to understand the meaning of the message.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Someone called to report about the whereabouts of a hooded man
that night. When we arrived, all we saw was you and a dead
body.
ADAM knows where this going. They know the truth.
ADAM
(hyperventilating)
Stop.
CHIEF BYERS
The dying message doesn’t relate to the late Mitch Connor.
ADAM
(hyperventilating)
S-stop.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
You made the call.
ADAM
(hyperventilating)
I s-said s-top!

43. DETECTIVE ALICIA
And then you stabbed yourself to prove your innocence.
ADAM
(shouting)
I said stop you fucking bitch!
ADAM rushes up and bangs the one-way mirror. He sees his
threatening reflection. At this point, ADAM doesn’t care what
happens. ON the other side of the mirror, DETECTIVE ALICIA and
CHIEF BYERS are stunned to see ADAM acting like this.
ADAM
(shouting)
So what if I killed them! What are you going to do about it?
Now let me out of here Alicia!
ADAM bangs the mirror continuously.
ADAM
I said let me- ugh.
ADAM starts kneeling down.
ADAM
Ah shit.
He places his hand over his forehead. His vision starts to get
blurry. He’s losing energy. He did not realize that his body
was giving up of him. He hyperventilates more and more until
he faints. DETECTIVE ALICIA and CHIEF BYERS watches ADAM
faint.
CHIEF BYERS
I’m sorry Alicia. We have to put him in prison.
DETECTIVE ALICIA breaks down, kneeling against the wall.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
(crying)
Why Adam? Why did you do it?
DETECTIVE ALICIA is disheartened to the fact that her
childhood friends is the Hawkins Serial Killer. The man she

44. tried to protect is the man that was doing the killings. CHIEF
BYERS could only comfort her.
24. INT. JUVENILE DETENTION CENTRE- DAY
ADAM wakes up in a white room. He realizes that he has been
sent to a juvenile centre. The space is rather wide to fit
ADAM’S claustrophobia condition and it is occupied with a
single bed. Only a pillow and a blanket to keep him warm and
comfy in the night. What he hates most of however, are the
four walls that confines his freedom. The door opens and
DETECTIVE ALICIA enters.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
You’re going to love it here Adam.
ADAM walks up to her to confront her.
ADAM
Get me out of here.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
I can’t do that. You’re dangerous.
ADAM
I will kill everyone here.
DETECTIVE ALICIA keeps a calm face to ADAM’S threat.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
You can try and unlike what you are familiar with, you will
fail. This centre is here to keep you in check with your
behaviour. You are going to spend some time here until you
learn what you did wrong.
ADAM
You think they can keep me in here?
DETECTIVE ALICIA
I think they can change you for the better. I was wrong about
you Adam. I thought you were still that sweet innocent kid
that needs protection.
ADAM

45. Now you’re being delusional. I never felt the same about you.
All those people I killed, I relished every second of it.
Elliot, Dr. Kirke and Mitch. I loathe them.
DETECTIVE ALICIA listens to ADAM’S speech.
ADAM
They were just the beginning. Had I more time, you and your
dad would’ve been next on my list.
ADAM raises his index finger and points to DETECTIVE ALICIA.
ADAM
Everyone is such an annoyance. They try to challenge me.
ELLIOT’S face comes into ADAM’S mind as he remembers all the
times ELLIOT fought for his spot in his debate team.
ADAM
They try to put me down.
ADAM remembers all the time DR. KIRKE tries to humiliate him.
ADAM
They try to be my friend.
Scenes of MITCH befriending ADAM crosses his mind.
ADAM
And then there’s you, Alicia. I don’t need your protection. I
don’t need your attention. I definitely don’t need your
presence in my current situation.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Well you look like you know how to handle your life. They are
not going to release you. Once you reach 18 years old, they
are sending you straight to prison.
DETECTIVE ALICIA opens the door.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
Enjoy spending the rest of your life behind bars.

46. ADAM
(furious)
Shut up Alicia! I’ll get out and when I do, I’ll be coming for
you.
DETECTIVE ALICIA
I’ll be waiting then. Always waiting. Goodbye Adam.
DETECTIVE ALICIA shuts the door. ADAM, frustrated and filled
with anger thrashes around his room.
