Jack is in a meeting with Big Nose Sam, who has an assignment for him.
BIG NOSE SAM
Okay, let’s get down to business. I need you to
snuff out these people.
Big Nose Sam shows Jack a picture of a guy with his family.
INSERT PICTURE
Jack stares at the photo. He shakes his head. Jack doesn’t think he can do the work for Big Nose Sam anymore.
JACK
Boss, I can’t kill someone who has kids or pets.
BIG NOSE SAM
What the hell, Jack? You going to work for me,
or what?
JACK
I guess it will have to be the “or what,” Sam.
BIG NOSE SAM
Listen, Jack. You’ve been my right-hand man
for the past five years. What happened to
‘Crack shot’ Jack?
JACK
Elsie’s changed everything for me. I can’t do this
work anymore.
Big Nose Sam opens the door.
BIG NOSE SAM
Gina, bring the kid. Jack’s leaving.
Jack and Elsie leave.

Lesson 15: Joel Stern’s Act 2 TP – The Midpoint Lesson
What I learned from this assignment: Come up with a game changing plot twist.
Summary: Right before Ray departs for Europe, his mission changes. Assassinate Hitler!
EXT. PLANE – NIGHT
Engines rev.
INT. PLANE – CONTINUOUS
Ray and Casey sit. Casey looks over at the pilot just to be sure he isn’t being overheard.
CASEY
There’s been a change in plans, Ray. Well, more of an addition.
RAY
Well, I’m certainly glad you waited until now to tell me.
CASEY
You’ll be contacted by one of our agents in France. He’ll have the details.
RAY
Can you give me a hint at least?
Pause.
CASEY
If you accomplish this it will end the war. We want you to kill Hitler as well.
