Scene 6
Location: Erik’s hideout
Characters: Erik Castor, Daren Bane
(Darren is sitting in a room facing the computer; he keeps listening to the recording)
(Erik enters the room)
Erik: Well?
Darren: I’ve analyzed the recording for almost a week now. But it’s been processed many times; it’s very difficult to restore it. I’ve also checked out the bank account, can’t find anything.
Erik: We received another message this morning. (Takes out a CD)
(Darren takes the CD and puts it in the computer and loads it)
Erik: How many of our men are killed?
Darren: About fifty.
(The screen shows the words “NERO”)
Nero: It’s been almost a week and I have not yet received my money until now. How many of your people have I killed already? If I still have not received my money by the end of this week, you know what happens. You have
been warned.
(The recording stops playing)
Erik: It seems we’re in way out of our head…
Darren: (Looks up at Erik) Why? Because of this guy?
Erik: I dunno… (Points at the monitor) This is what’s more important now.
Darren: You’re not thinking of giving him money, are you?
Erik: His intention wasn’t about money from the start.
Darren: Then what is it?
Erik: I knew from the first recording, Nero knew we wouldn’t pay him; moreover, he wanted US $2 billion in three days, we couldn’t possibly have it in such a short time. I think his intentions are to kill us all and take whatever money he can.
Darren: What do the others think about this?
(Erik stays silent)
Darren: You didn’t tell them? Why didn’t you?
(Erik stays silent again)
Darren: You suspected that it was of them?
Erik: I can’t be sure…
Darren: Do you think its Marco?
Erik: We don’t know that!
Darren: But fifty of our men are dead!
Erik: I know! But what if it’s not Marco? What if it’s just Nero’s plan to make us think it was him? That’s why
we have to be more cautious, or we’ll fall into his trap!
Darren: Then what do we do? What do you think is his next move?
Erik: (Thinks for a while) He might try and kill Francis first so he can take all the money he wants and disappear. But he can’t cause’ of me and Marco. So that means he’s gonna come after me first or Marco. Cause’ with us gone,
our organization is defenceless. And then Nero’s gonna come for Francis and get the money.
(Erik thinks for a while)
Erik: No...So “he” is “Nero”…it all makes sense…
Darren: Who…?
Erik: We don’t have enough proof right now, but according to my theory, it should be right. When you leave, do everything I say.
(Erik tells Darren what to do, Darren leaves the room and Erik leaves as well, then a man shows up and chases after Erik, the shot turns black with a gunshot)

Scene 7
Location: Conference room
Characters: Marco Malony, Tony Francis, Reggie Delano
(Tony, Marco and Reggie is listening to the recording)
Nero: I’ve already said it before, if I still haven’t received my money before the chosen date, I will kill every one of you. Mr. Castor is an example; that is why he couldn’t attend this meeting. And now the amount has increased to
US $ 4 billion, if I still haven’t receive the money in five days time, then be prepared to collect another dead body.
(Recording ends)
Tony: (Furious) Get it outta my sight!
(Reggie puts away the laptop)
Reggie: Erik is dead...then who’s the next…
(Marco thinking)
Tony: Stop freakin’ out, Delano! We ain’t payin’ him anything! But Castor’s dead, and we don’t know who’s next. Right now we have to find Nero. Malony, I want you to catch this guy within three days using any means necessary!
Marco: (Nods) Got it.
Tony: I have also secured our money in a safe place no one knows. After this is over, your money will return to you.
Don’t worry, your money is safe, you have my word. Other dealers have already surpassed us; we have to end this
quickly, unless everyone wanna beg for the rest of their life. I await your good news, Malony. We’re done here today.

Scene 8
Location: Car park
Characters: Marco Malony, Darren Bane
(Marco is at the car park, his phone rang suddenly and he answers it)
Marco: What?
Darren: Marco Malony, this is…
Marco: Darren Bane? You work for Castor.
Darren: Indeed I do. There is something you should know.
Marco: And why would I be interested? (After a little while) Are you certain?! (A little while) OK.
Darren: No one is to be told about this.
Marco: Then you have nothing to worry about.
(Marco hangs up, got into his car and drives away)
End of Scene 8
Scene 9
Location: Conference room
Characters: Marco Malony, Tony Francis, Reggie Delano
Tony: Malony called this meeting today. So, have you found out who Nero is?
Marco: (Smiles) Not exactly. I killed him.
(Tony couldn’t react when he heard it)
Tony: (Serious) I said I wanted him alive!
Marco: Sorry, but the situation was out of control, I didn’t have a choice, or I would have joined Castor.
(After a moment of silence)
Reggie: So…who was he?
Marco: Castor’s man: Darren Bane, it was him all along. He wanted all our money and be the head of the
organization after we were all dead. But he couldn’t have killed us all, so he came to me last night and asked me to
join him, but I refused. He then tried to kill me, but I killed him first.
Tony: How did you he was Nero?
Marco: (Takes out Erik’s playing cards from his pocket) I found this on him.
(Marco puts the deck of cards onto the table, Tony and Reggie takes a closer look at it)
Marco: It’s all over now, so can we continue with our business? My men are already tired of waiting.
Tony: (thinks for a while) Of course we can. And from today onwards, Marco, you will take all of Castor’s jobs. Delano, start contacting our buyers. Starting from tomorrow…
Marco: (Cuts in) Excuse me, but I think I need a vacation.
Tony: (Stares blankly at Marco) What?
Marco: I’m goin’ to Hawaii, I’ll be flyin’ tomorrow, and I’ve already bought the tickets.
Reggie: Why?
Marco: A lot of our men were killed lately, and I’m sure the cops are more concerned about the black market. Moreover, after all this, I need a little rest. See you in a few weeks, gents!
(Marco stands up and turn around, ready to leave)
Tony: Stop.
(Marco halts)
Tony: You can just leave whenever you want to.
(Marco turns around)
Marco: No, I can.
(Marco leaves the room)
