Burn Out script work in progress

Act 1 Scene 1

Int Day Government HQ. Present day. An anonymous man is sorting through his equipment, getting ready. As he does so a radio plays a news report:

REPORTER ON RADIO
Today we have reports from leading scientists that the oil is running out. This has caused the stock markets to crash. The vigilante group 'Incognito' claim they have stolen a copy of top secret plans for a new energy and will make them public tonight at 9pm. The governments of the world have deemed this controversial and potentially dangerous and public opinion is divided.

I know I'm doing the right thing, Incognito cannot broadcast this information. I have to stop them. This should not be up to a group like this, the decision should be up to scientists and the governments of the world. This is too big. 

Act 2

Ext day suburban house at night: Anonymous Man enters the Incognito HQ stealthily avoiding the guard.

Int: suburban house. Anonymous Man sneaks through the house searching with torch and gun.  Sneaks into a small homemade studio that is broadcasting live. A masked man behind a desk is talking

MASKED MAN
 As promised we have an important announcement today. For too long, the governments have had control. It's time to give power back to the people.


Anonymous Man walks up to presenter from the left and shoots him in the head.

Fade to black.
