INT. ART ROOM. DAY.

ALEXS drawings are displayed, featuring himself (and occasionally

SOPHIE) in some form of danger. This includes a drawing in which
ALEX and SOPHIE are being chased by a young man, as well as SOPHIE
being kidnapped.
INT. ALEXS ROOM. DAY.
ALEX and SOPHIE are sat on his bed. SOPHIE is on her phone, whilst
ALEX sits uncomfortably. She looks up from her phone, and watches
him for a few moments, seemingly concerned.
SOPHIE
(leaning towards him)
What's up?
ALEX
Just thinking
...and?

SOPHIE
ALEX

And what?
SOPHIE
(mocking him slightly)
Arent you going to tell me what
youre thinking?
ALEX
Shut up
SOPHIE
I'm serious
EXT. ALLEYWAY. DAY
SOPHIE and ALEX are running away from a man, evidently trying to
harm them. This resembles the previously shown drawings.
ALEX (V.O.)
I was just thinking, you know,
about my brother
SOPHIE (V.O.)
(sighs)
Alex, I told youALEX (V.O.)
No, no not like that. Its just,
what if Im like him? Ever since
dad died its been hard for me to
look up to another man. He was my
best friend. Whats happening to

all the men in my life Soph?

Alex-

SOPHIE (V.O.)

SOPHIE attempts to protest, but ALEX cuts her off.

ALEX (V.O.)
Hear me out. People like him bad
people theyre always so certain
that theyre right. Take Darth
Vader, or the Joker or someone.
They really, really believe in what
theyre doing, just as much as
Batman does. Dont you think thats
scary?
SOPHIE (V.O.)
I dont know
ALEX (V.O.)
I read this theory the other day,
that all these different versions
of our past selves are still alive
inside us, and thats why we are
who we are. What if thats why I
cant let go?
INT. ALEXS ROOM. DAY.
ALEX (CONT'D)
And I mean, I feel like Im a good
person, but thats only because I
think my actions are right. What if
theyre not, Sophie? I wouldnt
knowSOPHIE
Yeah, but I know. I know youre a
good person.
ALEX
Maybe youre like my evil sidekick
SOPHIE
(she looks disgusted)
Youd be lucky
ALEX
(he laughs)
You know what I mean. Thats why I
draw all of this.
He motions to the drawings on his wall.

ALEX
I just dont want any of it to
happen.
SOPHIE
Alex, seriously. Why are you so
worried? Youre not like him, you
know. Youre you. I dont think
youre even capable of hurting
anyone.
EXT. ALLEYWAY. DAY
Resume the previous scene, in which SOPHIE and ALEX are running.
SOPHIE falls over, and ALEX does not notice until the man has caught
up with her. In a state of shock, he watches as SOPHIE is captured.
