A VOICE begins to sound. It is from a news channel.

found dead, and the entire
event captured on CCTV imagery.
Found to have had multiple stab
wounds to the chest, abdomen and

up to a criminal, who is armed with a GUN. He begins to SHOOT,

DISARMS it. He then THROWS it away. BANG! A bullet is shot
through the TV/

As John CLOSES his laptop, a fellow marine of his, PAUL, WALKS

into his tent, looking rather DISTRESSED.
PAUL
John? Ive got some really bad
news.
John RAPIDLY turns his head up to PAUL. He becomes CONCERNED.
JOHN
Wh- Is- Is it Vanessa?
Paul looks at John with disbelief he has just received the
news that Vanessa had died. John CRIES, LEANING onto Pauls
shoulder. He screams in rage, in emotional pain.

is sitting down, drinking a GLASS OF WHISKEY, while
and Hugo are assembling their weapons on the TABLE. As
takes another sip of whiskey, a group of men walk in the
These are his accomplices.

VINCE
Glad you could make it lads.
Please, take a seat.

The men sit themselves down at the table. Vince REACHES DOWN
to grab something under the table.

VINCE
I trust you know of the passing
of a fellow friend. It's all over
the news so dont say you haven't.
Tonight is a night for reflect,
and a night to evaluate a
progression within our institute.

Vince LOOKS UP at Jerry and Hugo.

VINCE
Somebody out there get these men
a drink. It's going to be a long
night.

Vince slams a NEWSPAPER on the table. On the front page is a

headline reading 'MAN FOUND MACED BY FIGURE WITH NO FACE'.
Vince turns to one of the men DOUG.

VINCE
(pause) You know who this is,
mate?

DOUG
Yes sir; that's KRAY.

VINCE
Correct. Do you want to expand
by saying what he was to me?

DOUG
S-Sir, he w-was your brother.

VINCE (shouting)
My brother!

Vince SLAMS his drink on the table. He STANDS and POINTS at

his BULLETIN BOARD. On it is a picture of an unknown person,
he is wearing a HOOD and a BLACK MASK.

VINCE (CONT'D)
And now he's dead, because of
a lunatic with a mask!

Vince quickly turns to another man. This man is JAI, and is

fairly nervous.

VINCE (CONT'D)
So what does this mean, ey?

JAI
It- it means-

Jai HESITATES to respond. All eyes are on him, and all the men
are confused as to why Jai isn't answering. Vince looks at him
ANGRILY. He quickly PULLS a GUN from his JACKET and SHOOTS Jai
in the head. Everyone is startled. Vince is infuriated.

VINCE (shouting)
This means we can't think to
have pussys like him! This means
we have to step up now! This
means that now we have to turn
to a new form of ruthlessness!

BRIAN, a man amongst the group sitting, STANDS.

BRIAN
That is not neces-

Vince TURNS. He POINTS his gun at Brian.

VINCE
You sit your arse down, or I'll
fill your head with a sharp
bullet too!

Brian still stands. STEVE, another man sitting, PATS him on

the shoulder, directing him he SIT. Brian looks down at Steve,
and looks back up at Vince seriously. Vince still has his gun
pointed.

VINCE
Get down, lapdog.

Brian SITS. Jerry and Hugo walk into the room. Vince pulls
NEWS ARTICLES from a BULLETIN BOARD.

EXT. WAREHOUSE ENTRANCE - NIGHT

A GUARD is outside, armed with an ASSAULT RIFLE. Quiet, eerie

and dark. He hears footsteps. He STARES around the corner, but
nothing is there.

Suddenly, the guard's PHONE rings.

GUARD
Hello?

A long pause arises as he gets no response.

GUARD
Hello? HELLO?

He HANGS UP the call and puts his phone back in his pocket. He
pulls out a BOX OF CIGARETTES. Inside the box a note.
Written on it - "JUSTICE". The guard becomes CONFUSED. Then...
BANG! Shot in the head. Dead. We immediately cut to -
INT. SAFEHOUSE - NIGHT
Vince passes the news articles to Jerry and Hugo.

VINCE
Men. What runs through your
minds when reading these
articles?

Jerry and Hugo READ the articles. They then LOOK up to Vince.

JERRY
I feel disgusted enraged -
he is denying you, US, of
power!

Yes!

VINCE

HUGO
It's unacceptable!

VINCE
Correct!

HUGO
Corrupt! Outside of the
law!

VINCE
Most definitely!

Vince slowly TURNS to the men at the table.

VINCE
So men. Do you understand where
these two are coming from?

The group of men RISE from their seats and CHANT their
responses. Brian remains seated.

YES!

MEN (chant)

VINCE
Do you take my hand, in making
our underworld institution one
amongst the gods?

YES!

MEN (chant)

Brian is smug and doesn't join in on the responses.

VINCE (shout)
Will you join me - In bringing
this son of a bitch down to
his knees?!

YES!

MEN (chant)

All the men begin to cheer. This is halted when Vince RAISES
his hand to signal for silence. He WALKS over to Brian.

VINCE
One man lost in one percent
less commitment. Join us.

Vince lends his hand out to Brian. He looks at his hand, then
up to him. He takes his hand and RAISES from his seat.

BRIAN
I apologize sir.

VINCE
A friend of Kray, is a friend
of mine. Your gratitude is
appreciated.

A NOTE falls down, through the ventilation. It lands in the

middle of the table. On the note - "NO". All men immediately
aim their guns at the DOOR. Little do they know -

EXT. WINDOW - NIGHT

A man with a plain black mask, hooded and armed with an

ASSAULT RIFLE. Hiding behind the walls. He COCKS his weapon.

VINCE
I know it's you, you son of a
bitch! You butchered my
brother - well now, your soul
will suffocate with lead!

INT. SAFEHOUSE - NIGHT

The men hear his gun cocking. They QUICKLY turn around.
Anticipating his gun fire. A long pause begins. Suspense
rises.

VINCE
Well then?! Show yourself, so
we can rip that mask off your
fucking f-
Suddenly... a gun has been THROWN. As it lands, it fires,
catching Vince in the head. Cold. Then... DARKNESS. The lights
have gone out, flickering spastically.
HUGO
Shit!

BANG! Gunshots are being fired, and the men are being picked
off. Blood SPLATTERS. A long silence erupts as the lights
flicker back on.

DARKNESS...

INT. SAFEHOUSE - NIGHT

All the men are dead, except Brian, who is seriously wounded.
He begins to CRAWL his way out the safehouse. Footsteps begin
THUMPING ever-growingly louder. Out of nowhere, a PISTOL is
pointed directly against Brian's head. The camera tilts up, to
reveal the first visual look at INCOGNITO the man with the
black mask, or 'no face'.

INCOGNITO
I'm sorry. Did I butcher your
little boss' brother the other
night? Well...

Brian JOLTS his head upwards he is scared. Incognito LOOKS

behind him Vince's dead body.

INCOGNITO (CONT'D)
judging by how things look now,
I think the last branch of his
family tree just broke.

BRIAN
Screw you, you piece of shit.

INCOGNITO
I'd watch your language if I
were you. I've got a very itchy
index finger.
BRIAN (scared)
Who the fuck are you?!

INCOGNITO
I'm just a stable-minded person
who's only doing what's right -
only doing what the police just
ain't got the balls to do.

Incognito GRABS his last remaining PISTOL from his jacket.

BRIAN
And what can't the police do?
HUH?!

INCOGNITO
They can't put pieces of shit
like you six feet deep...

He cocks his weapon.

INCOGNITO
like I can.

He SHOOTS. Brian now a corpse. Dead.
