Script for film opening

Business Set-up film opening

INT. DARK ROOM. DAY

A female body lays still and motionless on the floor as gradually it is revealed to be within a dark room in an unknown location. The face of the unknown female is not shown and there are no obvious pointers to what has happened to her.
FADE IN:

EXT. PARK. DAY

During a flashback an UNKNOWN male character approaches a bench in a park with a distinct yellow folder under his left arm and sits down on the bench. From afar HITMAN is seen walking towards the bench; he sits down next to the UNKNOWN character. The two are emotionless and exchange no dialogue between each other. UNKNOWN looks over at HITMAN for a short moment before getting up off of the bench leaving the folder behind on the bench. HITMAN picks up the folder, stands up and opens it briefly reading its contexts, then close it and walks away from the bench.

HITMAN (V.O.)
That was supposed to be my last job.
FADE OUT:

EXT. STREET

HITMAN is shown walking along a run down looking street at pace. Other people are seen around in the distance. HITMAN then walks up a few steps and enters a building. There is a focused and emotionless exterior to the character, his dark clothing and business like look portray a professional appearance, which gives him a shifty presence as his enters the building.
FADE IN:
INT. UNSPECIFIED LOCATION. DAY

HITMAN is shown during a flashback on the phone however there is no dialog though it appears that he is agreeing to something during the call. There is a quick cut to UNKNOWN male who is saying something which is not heard. HITMAN is then shown looking at a photo of an unknown female on the front and its revealed as he turns the photo over that the photo has "£50,000" written on back of it. HITMAN is shown putting the photo into his jacket.

HITMAN (V.O.)
The one to set me up for life.
FADE OUT:

INT. CORRIDOR. DAY

Now inside the building HITMAN enters a room with a wire of some sort wrapped around his hands.
CUT TO:

INT. DARK ROOM. DAY

In the room HITMAN immediately notices the same body as shown before on the ground and walks cautiously towards it. He then turns over the body and produces the photo of the unknown female from his jacket.

HITMAN (V.O.)
But things got complicated.
CUT TO:

INT. DARK ROOM. DAY

He compares the face of the dead body to that of the photo before putting the photo back into his jacket. There is a cut to HITMAN's hands with blood all over them.

HITMAN (V.O.)
Blood on my hands, gotta clear my name.
CUT TO:

INT. DARK ROOM. DAY

Police sirens then sound in the background and HITMAN turns his head to the direction of the sirens. He looks around the room before making a getaway.

HITMAN (V.O.)
The worst thing about going to far
 is not knowing you already have.
CUT TO:

INT. DARK ROOM. DAY

CLOSE SHOT - FEMALE FACE

Female body is again shown but this time a close-ups of her face of the female is revealed and is disclosed to be the same female as in the photo. The face of the female is motionless as she lays still it can be assumed at this point that the female is dead.
