Security Office In Mansion
The security office is a small featureless room. There is a table
and chair. On the table are four monitors connected to the internal
security cameras in the house.
They are watching the heroes on the monitors. The monitors are of
each room, the Chief Detective and Jeffrey and Dom and Ron are
watching the progress through out the house of the heroes, including
the spatula fighting in the kitchen.
They finish by watching them carry Pooh out of the house.
Chief Detective
Mr.
Jeffrey have you had any fights or disagreements with your daughter
in the last 3 months.
Jeffrey
What
has that got to do with anything? My daughter has been kidnapped
Chief Detective
These
are routine questions Mr Jeffrey, take no offense. You would be
surprised how many of these things end up being a revenge act from an
angry teenager.
Now
have you had any fights with your daughter recently?
Jeffrey
No, we
never fight
Chief Detective
Do you
have anyone you would consider as a suspect? Any enemies?
Jeffrey
No
Chief Detective
Any
business partners or deals that went particularly sour?
Jeffrey
No
Chief Detective
Any
fights with neighbours, family members or close friends
Jeffrey
No
Chief Detective
Thankyou.
We assure you Mr Jeffrey we
will handle this, just do as we ask. Go about your life like normal,
just try to act normal, and don't talk to the media
You should write an email
back. Agree to the ransom. Tell them that you'll do whatever they
want. We will be available for you 24 hours a day. You are a very
important person sir, you can count on us to look after you and this
situation
By the way, has your wife
been notified yet, we can send a trained officer to tell her the bad
news if you would like.
Jeffrey
No that'll be fine. She
passed away a long time ago. Thankyou.

John is walking along a street with a drink {sponsors beverage}.
He walks past the the newsagent casually glances at the stand and
shocked out drink. The newspaper is on display.
Standing at the newsagent are two men reading the paper, the paper

John turns around
The men reading the paper
lower the paper and look over the top of it at John, we see they are
in fact Policeman #1 and Policeman #2, eyeing him suspiciously
John nervously pulls out 10 Baht coin and nearly runs
back to the house
Policeman #1 and Policeman #2 go back to reading their
paper
Policeman #1
Tut, tut, tut. A
kidnapping, such a terrible crime inflicted on a poor innocent child.
Who would do such a thing? Bangkok these days is getting dangerous

Daniel

Dom
Calm

no one suspects Falang are involved.
Pooh

know what happens in prison to people like you don't you

to release the capital.
Mike

OK. You pay 8 million Baht now
Jeffrey

to himself) 20% discount and we haven't started negotiating yet.

The guys watching TV with Gas Masks, Pooh tied to the chair.
Mike walks in.
Mike
Hey
guys I have news
Mike looks at Pooh, Pooh looks at Mike, their eyes meet. Look of
shock on Mike as he desperately tries to cover his face with his
hands
Mike
Dammit.
What are you doing? She can see our faces
Pooh
I got
you now
Mike looks at the 3 guys
sitting on the couch, looking at him wearing Gas Masks
Conan
Oh,
dammit
Conan pulls his Gas Mask
off and throws it to the floor. John and Daniel look at Conan
John
Conan,
what are you doing?
Conan
Didn't
you hear Mike – she can see our faces
John
Not
you, she saw Mike.
Conan grabs a fluffy pillow
(or something) and holds it in front of his face
Pooh
(Looking
at Conan) You're not very intelligent are you?
Mike
(Pointing
at Daniel and John - Angry) You and you follow me, Conan stay and
watch the girl.

I got him for 3 million though.

John
Doh!
Bugger it
Pooh
You

without your mothers?
John
Shut

Pooh
Can
you imagine life in prison, no girls, no parties, no fun, bad food..
John
I said
shut up
Pooh sits quiet, John looks
at her for a moment then turns around to go. Pooh continues
Pooh
No
cars, no beer, no whiskey, fat hairy guys, no lube...
John

I told you to bloody well shut up
John grabs a roll of
packaging tape (about 4cm wide) pulls out a short amount, about 10
cm. And holds it up approaching Pooh
Pooh
What
are you going to do? Don't you dare. I am going.....(Muffled)
John places the tape over

Drop Off Point
Int.
Outside Mansion
Jeffrey walks over to a Van where Dom and Ron with 10 bodyguards
wait for him. He carries a sporting bag that is stuffed full.
Jeffrey
Here!
Take this to the drop off point I told you about. The location is Lad
Prao Soi 27 the abandoned building, 9th floor. Give them the bag to
get them off guard and then I want you to capture them – no guns –
and bring them to our old warehouse for “questioning”
Dom
Why
don't we contact the police to do this, won't this cause trouble?
Jeffrey
I
was wrong to involve the police, if we handle it we can catch
them and then use our own methods to find out where they are keeping
her. This will be faster, more efficient, and saving us time and
money.
Plus we can administer the justice
directly and not wait for the courts to slap their wrists.
We can finish this business now, after
all they are the ones who started all this.
Dom
That
makes sense, we'll call you when we catch them.
Dom reaches out and takes the sports bag from Jeffrey, the others
get into the Van.
Cut to:

Abandoned Building
Abandoned construction site, unfinished, bare concrete, no doors
or windows. Dirty cover the floors. Strewn about are various rotting
building materials in heaps. It looks like no one has been here for
years.
Mike and Daniel wearing ski masks. They wait for Jeffrey to
arrive.
Suddenly we see bodyguards surrounding them, Dom and Ron in the
front.
Dom
(In
Thai) So you're the guys who kidnapped the bosses daughter?
Mike
(In
Thai) Give us the money
Dom
(In
Thai) Why did you do it? Don't you know what sort of trouble you are
in?
Mike
(In
Thai) The money.
Dom
(In
Thai) Of course, the money, here take it
