Pack of Lies Script:

(Opens with agent talking on phone to boss.)

Agent: I have eyeballed suspect entering the recreational ground carrying backpack

Boss: BACKPACK? WHAT BACKPACK?

Agent: Its …hang on….. black with a large grey logo on it with black straps, and he’s running towards the exit of the ground.......

Boss: Right, we need to get that backpack; it must contain the missing artefact. IT MUST NOT BE DAMAGED.You need to retrieve it with immediate careful action.

CHASE SCENE: Running,Jumping over obstacles, etc.

(The piece of script below would follow on from the chase scene, but I am unable to fit it in in the two minute time of my opening sequence. I feel it is important to open with some dialogue and mainly a chase as my genre is action/adventure and commonly other action/adventure films start straight in with a fast paced chase to immerse the viewer/audience in the action.)


Agent: (calling boss out of breath.) Not able to retrieve the backpack. Too fast,.... unable to catch her.

Boss: Well where is the backpack then? ......Did you say SHE?.

Agent: It’s in the back of a van. The suspect threw it in the back of the vehicle and then drove off, yes the suspect is female; her hood fell down as she raced towards the van.

Boss: In a van?! Oh my god.You've got to sort this out ......This could be fatal. (Hangs up abruptly)

Agent: (Punches button to end call, shakes head and walks away angry and disappointed).
