    1 INT. NIGHT. AMELIE'S BEDROOM.

    AERIEL SHOT/ MONTAGE

    We see a woman, AMELIE, late 20s, arranging her bed; fluffing


    her pillows. She then lies down on her bed, looks to her
    right picks up her headphones, puts them on and listens to
    her music, then cuts to a quick paced montage of her dancing,
    singing to the music, trying to sleep.

    2 INT. NIGHT. LIVNG ROOM.

    STATIC SHOT of Amelie sitting on the sofa drinking red wine,


    reading a magazine, all seems serene until we hear loud music
    and noises that seems to be coming from the apartment above.
    Amelie looks annoyed mow that her peaceful night has been
    ruined. She looks at her ceiling to her front door a couple
    of times, contemplating whether or not she should tell them
    to keep the noise down. After a few moments she decides to
    go, just as she reaches the door the noise stops. Amelie
    pauses, waits, as if her moving could start the noise again.

    She then decides to sit back down on the sofa. She goes to
    sip from her wine that's on the coffee table until she hears
    some low muffled commotion outside her door for a few
    seconds, then silence followed by a piece of paper getting
    passed under her door.

    Amelie just stares at her door slightly confused, more so


    scared at what the contents in the paper could be.

    A BEAT PASSES.

    Amelie decides to see what was passed under her door, she
    grab the paper quickly, moves away from the door and opens
    the florescent green paper, in various font sizes and styles
    it reads:

    I have your wife and kids. Pay up or


    else.

    Amelie frozen in shock, not knowing how to respond, turns on


    her tv- and puts it on the lowest volume possible,
    practically on mute- as so not to alert the mystery person
    who could still be outside her door waiting for a response.
    She sees that there's no breaking news of some rando-psycho
    who's broken out of prison or a mental asylum who likes
    messing with people or has a history of kidnapping people and
    sending ransom notes.
    2.

    She even writes out a text to send to her friends to see if


    they've heard anything- because according to INEZ she's the
    queen of everything news related- nothing is true unless it
    comes from her mouth- but decides not to send it, as so to
    not scare her or even worse invite her over so she can start
    her own investigation on the mystery guy whose sending
    letters.

    Amelie looks at the door and back at the letter,


    contemplating whether or not to open the door and see who
    sent her this. Maybe it was those annoying kids across the
    hall who always seem to be home and love playing pranks on
    her, or even the old lady, DOROTHEA, on the third floor who
    BETTY, 35,- the complex's own notorious gossip-, swears that
    she's lived there forever and knows everyone's secrets by
    just looking at them.

    Amelie then decides to respond to the mystery person. She


    gets plain pieces of paper, scissors, and her stack of old
    magazine and gets to work on what she could say back.
