Soundtrack: dark, ethereal goth male vocal over echoey guitar soundscape with heavy synth melody.
Busy city street, night. Blue filter. Male character wearing long dark overcoat, collar turned up, head bowed, crosses street and walks towards camera. Taxi breaks, horn beeps. Hand raised in acknowledgement, steps back to allow taxi to pass; quickens pace, continues across street. Fade out.
Fade in. Tracking. Walking along pavement. Vivid reflections in shop windows of other people on the street. Split screen. On left, a continuation of previous tracking shot. On right, a static one of the reflections of passers by over the display in a book shop window. Cut.
Walking up stairs to apartment. Camera remains at bottom of well, cut when out of shot.
Cut to inside of apartment: checks messages on answer machine, throws keys in bowl and jacket on floor. Panning, following to kitchen. Cut to three quarter view of refrigerator. Apart from condiments and a carton of orange juice the refrigerator is empty. The door is not shut properly and swings back open after character walks away. Linger on crack of light. Sound of toilet flushing. Fade out.
