MEDIUM:A car passes by. Male crosses the street. Male walks in cam direction

The male dressed in black continues up a staircase In the city Center setting, along a walkway passing shops on a first floor level until he reaches a rooftop car park.

He pauses as he looks around, on the other side he sees a woman with her back turned and approaches.

Ace

Didn't your parents ever tell you smoking bad for your health?

Sierra

Didn't your parents ever tell you not to break a girls heart?

Ace

You never were good at answering my questions.

Sierra

I'm not the only one.

Turns to face Ace

Axcel, you still haven't told me what or where you've been for the last 3 years. You Just drop in anytime and expect me to still be here waiting for you! Then before you know it your out again.

Ace

Sierra you know I -

Sierra

Axcel! 3 years! How could you do that to me? Tell me you love me an you want to marry me then for 3 years you become a ghost. Weaving in an out of my life as you pleased!I even started to doubt If you were even real!

ACE

Knowing me, how could you lose faith in my promise Cee?

Long pause as she ignores him

Sierra! You knew what I was doing, I was doing it for us.

SIERRA

US?! What do you mean us Axcel?You were never there, as far as anyone's concerned you never existed.

ACE

Listen, I didn't ask you here to debate this. I was never in control you assured me that you understood.

Sighs

Flashback

NARRATION

I had what you might call a rough encounter with a gang of ex-military thieves who were dishonorable discharged for a number of crimes.They call themselves The Black Arm Gang. A ransom deal fell apart when they changed their minds last minute, we didn’t have what they wanted and the whole squad bailed, leaving me to take on the job alone.It wasn’t going to be the 50 Grand they were expecting that they were going to find, and when they did find it I was a dead man.What I’m saying is these people are powerful and merciless, their connections make them even more dangerous.

Flashy Jump cuts, Voice-over.

Ace In a Fedora Holding a briefcase. Walks into an ambiguous spot and drops the case. As he walks away he's confronted by a thug who stops him, Opens the briefcase out of which a pile of shredded news papers fall.

Realising the trouble he's in he attacks the thugs and runs into the distance.

Jump cut shots of Ace running, with his perpetrators following with impressive stunts (free running)

Eventually he runs under a small bridge, on the other end his way is blocked. Behind him appears more of them. No way out.

LIGHTS OUT! He's Left For Dead.

Back to present day

Ace

I would be lying in the grave I that I dug right now, If it’ wasn’t you I was living for.I think you know the rest. The stories are plastered all over the Tabloids, my face is hanging on walls town to town. There's nowhere here for me to hide, I can't even walk into a room without having looking over my shoulder. I want us to move to a place where we can hide, it'll be like old times, huh?

I know I haven't exactly treated you like the princess you are. I'm making it Final, you and I know it's you I want, what you've been waiting for me to say all these years.

He approaches, put his arms around her and seduces her into a short kiss.

My time's up I'm no longer playing by the rules..So, What do you say Hun.. You, Me against the world?

As she stares him in the eye Axcel extends his hand, slowly she takes it.
