In this 10 minute short film, a well known criminal is the target of an armed siege after a gang come to collect their debts. Set in a classy private bar, the man is prepared to protect his dignity.
Treatment
In the silent dark, a car headlight appears, fading in as it
comes closer to the camera. Driving along a main road at Canvey Island, we see
various shots of the car driving along at speed.
Arriving at the house, a foot gets out of the car. The noise is silent apart from the footsteps. The scene cuts to two men at private bar. One man is sitting down at the bar, the other is a barman dressed smartly round the other side.
They start to discuss arrangements that have been made regarding a 'deal'. The barman gets a package from under the bar and passes it to the man. Opening it up, he gets a gun out and starts to ask whether the police have examined it. He puts it away and asks for a whiskey, a top up.
The barman places his whiskey on the bar then looks at a TV next to it, displaying a fuzzy CCTV image of the front door. "We have company". ROB looks the screen. He finishes his drink, downing it in one.
"Give me 5 minutes and a....Sea Breeze Bomber on my return" says Rob. He gets the gun back out of the package and walks out of the bar.
He waits in a location out of sight of the group of the 5 men coming up the stairs. He loads his gun and waits in anticipation.
One man comes up and walks to the bar, "where is he?" he says in a strong russian accent. He walks back out and Rob fires at him, missing the first time, Man 1 fires back and rob shoots again, getting him in the chest, the face.
He walks forwards and waits at the top of stairs, hiding again. When another man comes up, he hits him with the but of his hang gun before shooting him in the throat. The man falls down. Rob walks down the stairs silently, stepping over the second body at the bottom.
He ducks at the bottom of the stairs and waits for another man to come out. 1 does and shoots at him first, missing and hitting the glass door before him. Rob shoots and hits a door. The man fires several shots and Rob reloads. He shoots and misses and throws the magazine hitting the man in eye.
Rob moves forwards and hears two men in a room. He gets out a package from his back pocket. Covered in tape and wires, he pushes a switch on it as it bleeps. Bleeping faster he throws it into a room before it explodes.
With dust everywhere and the alarm going off, he walks to the bottom of the stairs to leave however hears a clicking noise behind him. He looks up to the barman. "You nearly won" With an extreme closeup of the barman's machine gun, the waiter says 'Your bomber is ready'. Rob dives out the way as the barman shoots at him.
He runs into the smoke and see's two wires hanging, connecting to the alarm box. He squints and puts the two wires together. We see the barman get covered in spoke.
With a dusty suit, Rob walks out. "Waste of good Scotch". He walks to his car and drives off.
