PLOT
I. The Break (intro) Movie begins near end of actual plot with short segment as intro...Davis is captive in Russell's lair...his voice in voice over says something like "All I wanted was a break, this isn't what I had in mind" then one of Russell's henchmen swings a hammer down toward Davis' finger on a table, but the scene cuts away before we see what happens '''II. The Call''' Cuts to Russell in the back of a "cab" which will be him sitting in the back seat of my car, head hung low,his voice over continues, "since I was a kid I wanted to be a private eye, I had dreams of grandeur, of pretty damsels in distress, car chases and gun fights...so far all Id ended up with was an empty bank account and a bad hangover"

cuts to him closing the door of the "cab" and it drives away, revealing his office, he walks toward it

cuts to him throwing his hat on his hat rack (could maybe use the thing in my hall)

cuts to him sitting down, voice over continues "but all that was all about to change"

he puts his feet up on his desk and leans back, as if to sleep...the phone rings (old style phone if possible)

he gradually gets up, almost annoyed that the phone disturbed him...

he gradually reaches over, answers the phone and answers "you got Davis" or something informal like that

Dame is on the other end (voice over), her and Davis have been acquainted before so she is calm and casual with him she said "so Ive heard" or something witty

PHONE CONVO REVEALS DAMES PROBLEM, DAVIS SEEMS INTRUGUED, SEEING THAT THIS IS NOT THE USUAL JOB '''III. The Boss''' A few shots of the city, buses going by, people moving around etc

establishing shot of an office

cuts to Davis who is looking out a window at the city (possibly use 3 floor window) he turns away to his associate who is sitting down, (his office is the standard desk with a chair on both sides)

he says something dramatic like "the world is out there waiting, just waiting for someone to reach out and TAKE IT *grabs the air*"

his associate, smirks and says something like "and how do you propose we do that?"

to which Russel replies, "its not a question of how, its a question of WHEN" '''IV. The Meeting''' cuts back to Davis, who tells Dame that they need to meet in person to discuss details, so they agree to meet somewhere discrete, like a warehouse or something

a couple cool shots of the city again maybe of the highway or something

cuts to a car pulling up, and a really low shot of just Dames feet hitting the ground as she steps out of the car...then as the car drives away the camera gradually comes up to her head as she takes off her sunglasses or something and looks forward

cuts to a shot behind her showing the warehouse or whatever, and she begins to walk toward it

cuts to Davis inside the warehouse, in the dark, slouching, back against the wall...Dame approaches and doesn't see him, he says something witty like "what took ya so long"

THEY DISCUSS WHAT DAMES SUSPICIONS ARE, AND SHE REVEALS THAT RUSSELL HAS A MEETING WITH HIS ASSOCIATE THE NEXT DAY AT SOME PLACE V. The Plan Where Davis spies on Russel and Associate talking about Russel's plan for something big, not a huge amount of details are revealed, just enough to give Davis some leads. '''VI. The Detective''' Where Davis gets to work finding out what he can from people regarding Davis' plan, mainly just a montage of him talking to various people (my dad, Marys dad, Donna etc) with music over top During this scene we see Associate spying on Davis briefly, later another associate of Russell's (maybe Katie or something) leans over and whispers something in his ear, he slowly looks up, showing that he had discovered something bad which he did not expect. '''VII. The Spy''' Where Davis and dame meet again to discuss Davis' discoveries, but this time Russell has caught on to them, and sends his spy to find out what they know. '''VIII. The Chase''' Russell and his associate show up after they receive word from the spy which leads Russell to believe they know too much and need to be stopped before they ruin everything. Russell breaks in dramatically with a machine gun or something, and Davis tells Dame to run, she does...Davis begins to run away in the other direction, thinking he will lead Russell away from Dame...Russell chases Davis, Dame runs but Associate is waiting for her, and nabs her quickly. Russell chases Davis around the city and cool stuff happens, jumping fences and stuff like that...high tempo music is all that is heard...Finally Russell corners Davis, the music cuts out, and Russell says something dramatic...but somehow Davis narrowly escapes, only to be knocked out by Associate who was waiting for him around a corner. '''IX. The Break (finale)''' We meet back with Davis from the intro, he is captive in Russell's lair...Russell lays out a monologue about his plan and how Davis was so close to getting him etc but how he holds all the cards now...then he says he will show him what he does to people who meddle in his affairs, and he motions Associate to break his finger, associate grabs Russell's hand and slams it on the table...hauls back his hammer, but just before he can strike Dame breaks in and yells “NOOO” stopping Associate for a brief moment, enough time for Davis to get control of his hand and somehow overpower Associate...he then somehow knocks out Associate and frees himself...Davis and Russell fight for a minute or so which ends at a point where they are matched at power, Russell has a knife at Davis' throat and Davis is holding him off just barely...Dame comes to the rescue and hits Russell with a pan, he lies barely conscious on the floor, he pulls Dame in closer, and whispers something dramatic in her ear like “Ill get you for this” or something, to which Davis replies “not likely”, as he smashes him again with the pan...Dame grabs Davis and they hug, happy to be alive...they walk away arm in arm, Davis battered but not broken, Davis says something dramatic in voice over like “I knew at that moment things would never be the same” or something...and they walk away into the sunset or something.

THE END
