Sarah and her friend are walking down an empty lit street towards home when Sarah's friend turns off onto another street to go home whilst Sarah takes a shortcut down a dark dimly lit alley.
SARAH
(To friend) I'll see you later then, call me when you get home.
FRIEND
Ok no worries, talk to you later hun, bye
Sarah heads towards the alley where her friend is out of sight and Sarah sees a man lurking in the shadows smoking. She ignores him and continues to walk. His eyes follow her as she walks past he drops his cigarette to the floor and starts to follow her. He approaches her quietly and grabs her tightly restricting her movement as she lets out a startled scream. He quickly covers her mouth and pushes her to the ground. The shot fades away as she cries out for help.
SARAH
Stop! Please! Help somebody!
2. INT SARAH'S BEDROOM
Sarah is sat on her bed shaking, with the phone in front of her, she picks it up and dials a number, the phone starts to ring and an operator answers the phone.
OPERATOR
Which service do you require?
SARAH
Police
Sarah waits hanging on the line for a police officer to talk to, while she waits the clock beside her ticks louder and louder in her ears.
POLICE OFFICER
Hello, what is the nature of your emergency?
SARAH
I've just been raped!
POLICE OFFICER
Okay i need you to remain calm, could you please tell me when this happened?
SARAH
About and hour ago
POLICE OFFICER
Okay, we need you to come down to the station, don't wash or change your clothes as we need to take evidence. Come down as soon as possible
SARAH
Okay
POLICE OFFICER
Could you please tell me your name?
SARAH
Sarah Williamson
POLICE OFFICER
Thank you sarah, you're doing a very brave thing, come down to the station and we will see you soon.
Sarah hangs up the phone and lets it fall out of her hand, dropping onto her bed. Tears rolling down her cheeks she draws her legs towards her and wraps her arms around herself. Images flash through her head of the attack; she closes her eyes and tries to block them out. The shot ends on the expression on her face.
3. INT POLICE LINE UP ROOM
The next scene shows Sarah sat in an office with a police officer. There is a photograph on the desk between them.
POLICE OFFICER
We ID'ed this man. Do you recognize him at all?
SARAH
Yes. It was him.I remember now.
POLICE OFFICER
Thank you miss, could you please follow me
The shot fades out as she walks out the room looking back at the picture of her attacker, which is left laying on the desk. She smiles bravely then turns and walks out of the room.
4. INT SARAH'S KITCHEN
This scene shows Sarah opening a letter in her kitchen; she pulls it out of the envelope and starts to read. It says that her attacker Sid Peter has been released on bail and will not be charged at this moment in time. Tears start to fall down her cheeks as she slams the letter to the table and slumps to the floor with her head in her hands.
5. EXT QUIET STREET
This scene starts with Sarah walking down a small, quiet street. She is hugging herself as she walks, looking everywhere around her. She then sees who appears to be her attacker walking around the corner. She launches on him and attacks him, eventually strangling him down to the ground. As she backs away, she realises that it wasn't actually her attacker and was in fact, just a stranger. She also realises that she has killed this man.
SARAH
I... I've killed him. I killed him. I killed him...
She tails off into silence before slumping to the floor and screaming. The scene fades out to her screams.
6.INT PLAIN ROOM
The scene shows Sarah sat alone on a bed in a little plain room, rocking back and forth with her legs drawn in close to her body. She should be wearing plain, non-descript clothes. The shot zooms out to show a man in a white coat enter the room. He closes the door and stands in front of it.
MAN
It's time for your pills now Sarah.
This scene ends with the man in the white coat leading Sarah out of the room by the hand. The shot fades and the credits run.
