INT. BASEMENT - DUSK

A pair of hands come up from a sink basin, the water cloudy.

The hands slowly massage DAVID's face, eventually wiping the water way when he moves them down.

David looks apathetic and tired, slight wrinkles have begun to form on his forehead and his eyes are drawn in surrounded by dark circles.

He appears again, although very distorted. He looks at himself in a grimy, tarnished mirror, the front of a medicine cabinet.

He reaches out and opens the medicine cabinet. There are several bottles of pills, many of which are empty, a few rolls of gauze, a case of band aids, a razor, a stick of deodorant, a tooth brush, a tube of toothpaste and nothing else.

WIDE ON BASEMENT

The room is dimly lit by one light bulb hanging down by a wire in the center of the room.

A car speeds by outside, the noise muffled. Two more cars speed by with sirens blaring. Several gunshots are heard.

David is unfazed by this. He reaches into a drawer in the sink counter and removes 2 gloves and places them on the counter.

David walks over to the table. On the chair is a vest. He puts it on and tucks a necklace behind his shirt.

He walks over to the bed and picks up a trench coat. He puts this on as well, straightens it out and grabs a suitcase.

David walks back to the sink. He puts the gloves on and slowly walks up the stairs.

A light switch is flicked and the room goes black.

EXT. A RUN DOWN SLUM - NIGHT

A yellow street light flickers outside a dilapidated building with no lights on.

Light appears out of two windows at the bottom of the building.

INT. BASEMENT - NIGHT

David loudly fumbles down the stairs, he is clearly in a hurry.

He is no longer wearing his trench coat and does not have his suitcase with him. He is clutching his left arm which is clearly bleeding.

He rushes over to the sink counter and opens up both bottom drawers. He removes a bottle of vodka and a pair of pliers.

David takes the pliers to his left arm, shoves them in a small hole and removes a bullet. David grimaces and then drops the bullet in the sink.

He opens up the medicine cabinet and removes some gauze. He wraps his arm up and tears it off. He takes a swig of vodka.

He takes off his vest and shoes, leaving them on the floor.

David walks to the hanging light. He reaches into his pants pocket and removes a roll of money. He looks at it. He throws the money onto the table.

David reaches up and grabs the light. He turns the bulb until the room goes black.

A few footsteps are heard. David gives a loud sigh and then the mattress springs make some brief noise.

FADE OUT.
