This scene explains to the audience who the main character is and what he is planning on doing

JOSHUA Hi my name is Joshua and my friend Johnny went missing 2 weeks ago. When I learnt to hack I always thought I would use it to mess with my friends or win in a video game. But no… I am using it to find my friend, delving into his internet life I am hopeful that I will uncover what really happened to him

Camera pans behind the monitor and black screen

COMPUTER SCREEN WITH SKYPE OPEN, ONE FRIEND IN THE PARTY

THE START

This is where we see the start of the plan and explain that his friend will be helping with this investigation

JOSHUA Thank you again man, it would be a hell of a lot of work without you haha...ha PATRICK Don’t mention it man seriously I want to find him too JOSHUA (Pause) yeah (sad tone)

PATRICK Ok…where do you want to start? JOSHUA Facebook, he was never off it, if there is anything that could help us find him it will be here, so what I need you to do is get into his personal messages while I look over his posts and pictures. Is that cool with you? PATRICK Yeah should be no problem JOSHUA Ok great and thank you again man

PATRICK Ok new rule, no more thanking me ok *snig- gers* JOSHUA *laughs* Alright fine I will try *laughs*

WHAT’S LEFT BEHIND

In this scene we get to see what Johnny looks like and learn more about him JOSHUA *AFTER WATCHING TWO VIDEOS*Johnny had a Youtube channel PATRICK

He never told us

JOSHUA He has a video on the day before he went missing…he seems so happy PATRICK

…Well…maybe…maybe there is some clues to what happened on his youtube, check the com- ments if he didn’t tell anyone in school the comments could only come from strangers JOSHUA Yeah good point, oh and when you get into his facebook let me know what the password and username is because I bet he used the same for his Youtube PATRICK Nice thinking

END SCENE

SCROLLS TO AN OLDER VIDEO SEES A COMMENT ON IT, THE COMMENT SAYS “YOU ARE AMAZING ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE VIDEOS AND ALSO NOT GONNA LIE YOU ARE KINDA CUTE” IT HAS REPLIES TO IT FROM JOHNNY SAYING “YOU ARE FAR TO KIND AND IF THAT IS YOU ON YOUR PROFILE PIC THEN IT IS YOU THAT IS THE CUTE ONE” SHE REPLIES “MAYBE WE CAN TALK MORE IN PRIVATE MESSAGES ;) <3)CLICKING ON THE PROFILE JOSHUA NOTICES THAT THE ONLY ACTIVITIES ON THIS CHANNEL IS LIKING AND COMMENTING ON JOHNNY’S VIDEOS

SUSPECTS

Here we get an understanding that Johnny was talking to strangers on social media

PATRICK I’m in! And I think I found something dude JOSHUA Fuck yeah man lets here it PATRICK Alright let me share my screen with you *shares screen on skype* so as you can see he has been talking to this girl… a lot and it gets pretty spicey. Now if you go onto her profile you can see that she has no mutual friends and also her previous profile picture is of a different girl, like come on Johnny how did you not see that! JOSHUA Holy shit I know her dude, she was commenting on his videos same name and profile picture PATRICK Well it looks like it went beyond Youtube JOSHUA Yep PATRICK Oh and one more thing dude she sent him this link *sends link on skype*

The dark secret of what happened begins to show JOSHUA *sighs*…hold up *stops video and zooms in person looking through door crack can be seen* my god…what the fuck *replays it* WHAT THE FUCK! *slams fist against table*

BLACK SCREEN END

NEXT DAY: COMPUTER SCREEN WITH TOR OPEN AND READY (ON THE HIDDEN WIKI)

DARKNESS PATRICK So are you sure your pc can handle this, there are more trogons then a common cold JOSHUA I’m fine I have disabled all my Java scripts on the browser PATRICK Well then I guess you are good…just remember there could be anything on the other side of that link and whatever it is, it is most likely responsible for Johnny’s disappearance JOSHUA

…Y…yeah…I got this *says while breathing out*

Clicks on link and it takes him to a black screen, all that is there is a video, he clicks on it, it opens a window with a video playing. It is a dark room with someone on a chair near the back of the room. It is deadly quiet, the man rocks back and forwards, his head slowly turns to the camera and he stares at the camera. He then waves slowly and holds up a board saying nice to meet you. He puts it back down

JOSHUA Wha..what *under his breath PATRICK Is everything ok *in whisper*

Another board is lifted and says “I love your blue sweater” JOSHUA Wait..wa..wait what

Camera pans out of web cam and shows the light being on

PATRICK What’s wrong!

JOSHUA This is live! PATRICK WHAT’S WRONG!

JOSHUA This…is..live

PATRICK WHAT IS GOING ON!

Man walks up to the camera slowly, and whispers “we see you, thanks for dropping by” jumpscare of flashing images

Joshua quickly closes tab and is silence

JOSHUA He saw me…he…just *trails off* PATRICK What do you mean? JOSHUA He..he turned on my web cam and just…just *trails off* PATRICK WHAT…HOW!!! HOW!! This is fucked man you need to call the police JOSHUA Yea…yea I do *quiet tone*

He minimizes the skype and sees that the wall paper has been changed to “we see you” “we see you” “we see you”

JOSHUA Oh god *begins to sob*

Silence

JOSHUA Patrick…patrick UNKNOWN Patrick isn’t here right now

JOSHUA WHAT! Who are you?!

Re-opens skype only to see that it is just him and a no named contact

JOSHUA HOW!Who are you!

UNKNOWN Come on you don’t remember we just talked, that is rude of you…anyway no matter I notice that you have been trying to find your friend ,well he is gone and I will prove it

Computer takes control and word doc opens with pictures of the friend killed brutally

JOSHUA YOU MONSTER *Tries to move skype* UNKNOWN We have control now

Lots of word documents open showing the same message WE SEE YOU

UNKNOWN Goodbye JOSHUA No!! please!!! *drops headphones

Computer the web cam opens,Character looks confused and scared at it we see the door knob wiggle, door slams and we can see the main character block the door with a chair and we also see a man looking through the window

Screen goes black and a new newsreporter begins to talk the camera then pans away from the still on computer with the window wide open and door too

NEWS REPORTER And so another 17 year old boy has gone miss- ing, police say that they are linked with a online group called “SEE YOU” and it is said they use the internet to find and take their victims
