Down

1. EXT. TALL BUILDING ROOF - DAY

A crowd of well-dressed and good-looking people ooh and ahh over the spectacular view. A MAN looks at his watch and motions for his cluster of friends to come with him.

2. INT. ROOF ELEVATOR LOBBY - DAY

The elevator dings, lighting up the down arrow. The small crowd walks to the elevator, but one WOMAN halts in the lobby, while everyone else packs into the elevator. Her face is contorted with fear. The WOMAN motions for her friends to go on.

WOMAN
I'll just take the stairs. Don't worry about me.

The WOMAN smiles bravely. The elevator door shuts on the concerned faces of her friends.

3. INT. HALLWAY/ STAIRWELL - DAY

The WOMAN walks to the stairwell door purposefully. She swings the door open, and peers down the well-lit, friendly-looking stairwell and begins trembling in terror. She slams the door shut and leans her back against it. The WOMAN rifles through her bag frantically, pulls out her cell phone and dials a number. Sobbing hysterically, she speaks into the phone.

WOMAN
I can't do it! I just can't!

4. INT. WOMEN'S BATHROOM - DAY

The WOMAN splashes water on her face. Taking a paper towel from the dispenser, she carefully dries her face. She seems calmer. The WOMAN throws away the paper towel and straightens her blouse. Suddenly, the bathroom door slams open and four MASKED FIGURES dressed in ninja black attack her. Three of them push her down to the floor, holding her there while the fourth pulls out a syringe. The WOMAN struggles and almost screams as the fourth injects her in the neck.

5. INT. DOWNSTAIRS LOBBY - DAY

The elevator doors open to reveal the WOMAN sitting in a wheelchair completely unconscious, accompanied by the four MASKED FIGURES. They wheel the WOMAN over to the MAN and her friends, who shake the MASKED FIGURE'S hands, smiling broadly. The fourth FIGURE produces another syringe and injects it into the WOMAN'S neck. She groggily comes to. She smiles at the MASKED FIGURES and wobbling slightly, gets out of the wheelchair.

6. EXT. BUILDING ENTRANCE - DAY

The four MASKED FIGURES walk out of the building, with one slinging the folded wheelchair jauntily on his shoulder.
