Dim lighting, abandoned house, garage area.
Girl late teens, bound to chair, hands on table. Crying in fear and pain.
Chalk on blackboard, killer’s back is turned.
Killer: (Patronising)That’s 4 letters wrong now, are you sure you’re trying?
Victim: Please, it hurts…
Shows victim’s hands. 4 fingers chopped off.
Killer: (Turns) Oh, I’m sure it does. After all, stupidity warrants punishment. And as you can see, I’m very willing to deliver. Now guess.
Victim: Please, I don--
Killer: Ah ah ah... Guess.
Victim: (crying)F… F!
Killer: What was that? I can’t hear you over that pitiful sniveling of yours.
Victim: F!
Killer: F? F for freedom, fabulous, fantastic?
Victim: Yes!
Killer: F for family, friends…
Victim: Yes! Just please--
Killer: ... Failure.
Knife is shown.
Victim: No, please--
Killer: What a shame, that’s one more finger, Madame. Now go ahead and smile for the camera.
Knife being brought down. High pitched scream. Fade to white.

Reporter: Local authorities have discovered a young woman in her teens hanged from the rafters this morning in the local chief of police’s shed, with all of her fingers chopped off.
Cut to detective office, group of detectives watching news.
Reporter: Police have already confirmed this to be the work of “The Hangman Killer”, making this to be the 6th kill this winter.
TV off.
Detective 1: This isn’t good enough, more innocent women are dying before our eyes, and all we can do is watch.
Flashback
Killer: (Wrong.)
Flashback
Detective 2: But what can we do, he's a madman who knows how to elude authority.
Flashback
Killer: (Do I have your attention now?)
End Flashback
Detective 1: We've lost too many good men to this guy. Who here is willing to put their life on the line? Who here is willing to send this man justice?
Flashback
Killer: (Laughter)
End Flashback
Main Detective: I will.
-----
Killer: What makes you different from the others?
Main Detective: I guess you'll find out.
-----
Fiance: (Pale) There's a bouquet for you.
Dead women clutching a banquet on detective's couch.
Main Detective: It has a note.
Both examine.
Fiance: "Flowers for your grave."
-----
(Do I have your attention now?)
Detective 1: Mentally, he's unbeatable. All of our own who've chalklenged him in the past, he's completely destroyed their mind. We had to send them to the asylum.
Main Detective: It won't happen to me.
Detective 1: I hope not. None of them made it to the asylum, all of the detectives have hanged themselves.
-----
(Wrong.)
On a video chat.
Killer: And thus the Juliets' have found their Romeo! Though for her sake, Detective, I hope you don't kill yourself out of sheer stupidity.
Main Detective: You're insane.
Killer: Thank you.
Main Detective: It wasn't a compliment.
Killer: That's what makes it sweeter.
-----
(Laughter)
In his dreams, the detective sees past victims.
Past Victims: Help me. Save us. Save me.
(More laughter)
-----
On national televcision.
Killer: An open challenge for Mister Detective. You see little Mandy here? You see, she's quite the singer, and did I ever tell you how much I love to hear a girl sing?
Cocks gun.
Killer: Every time you guess a letter wrong, detective, I'll make her sing, so that the whole nation can indulge in her voice.
(More laughter, merged with "Do I have your attention now?"
-----
Main Detective: I'm not sure if I can do this.
Fiance: But you have to. You're the closest anyone has gotten to him.
Detective: (Stares up at her) That's why I'm afraid.
-----
Killer: And as you sleep tonight detective, think that today you could have saved little Brittany... Or was it Whitney? It doesn't matter, she's dead all the same.
-----
(Wrong. Laughter. Do I have your attention now?)
Killer: When will you realise detective, that it is futile? From the moment you entered this game, I have been its master. This is my world now, and I rule you!
-----
Fast montage with killer's laughter.
