The film opens with a CU of a hand wrapping a package of a box
wrapped in brown paper tied with frayed string.
Cut to the outside of ST PANCRAS STATION of a YOUNG WOMAN. She wears
an iridescent tan trench coat tied at the waist with her hair tightly crimped
into a bun. Cut to the inside of PADDINGTON STATION. A train departs from the
station; signaling this by the WHISTLE and HORN of the train. There after the
young woman walks along the platform of the station with a small tan leather
handbag hanging from her right hand, carrying a package covered in brown paper
with white string tied around in her other hand. The CLIP-CLOP of the young
woman’s HEELS is heard. News of a murder is depicted.
A SUSPICIOUS LOOKING YOUNG MAN walks behind the young woman. He wears
a light tan trench coat with a dark coloured fedora on his head. The young
woman drops the parcel from her left hand and falls on the ground. The young
man picks up the parcel off the ground of the station.
Cut away shot to THREE MIDDLE AGED MEN wearing dark trench coats and
fawn coloured fedoras acting furtively. One of the men throws a cigarette butt
onto the ground and stamps his foot on it to put it out.
The young woman walks out of the station with the man following
behind her. She approaches a vintage car parked outside the station; she gets
into the car with help of the DRIVER who opens the door for her. The woman
notices that the driver isn’t her normal driver and asks where her usual driver
is, followed by the CAR DOORS LOCKING.
Next, the THREE MIDDLE AGED MEN are seen discussing a newsworthy,
debatable topic. While discussing, the three men are pushing around a picture
of the young woman seen earlier in the opening and portray a reflection of
mysteriousness amongst them. It then
pans back to the young woman in the back seat of the car. Followed by the loud
sound of a GUN SHOT.
