Breaking Out-Andrew Agcaoili pitch

A girl stands alone under the Oakland BART Station, looking over her shoulder. She knows she’s in danger. A flash back ensues. She remembers how afraid she was for her friends when the terrorist attack happened. She looks back on her time being incarcerated, being abused, being tortured. She thinks about how her other friends are doing. She realizes how she feels about her best friend Marcus, noticing she’s been thinking about him more and more. This girl is then revealed to be Van. Van talks to herself for a little bit and then remembers Marcus, and all she feels about him. Another flashback ensues to when Marcus and she fought. She leaves infuriated, but can’t bear to see Marcus get hurt or fail. It is then revealed that she was more involved in Marcus's counter terrorism than he was lead to believe. She used data scramblers, messing up fast track units around the city. Then flashback then moves to the party and the concert. Here, Van is shown supporting Marcus’s cause from behind the scenes, helping him escape the cops, but also has her heart broken when she sees Angie and Marcus hooking up. Distraught, Van cries. The scene switches to her talking to Jolu. Jolu convinces her to stick to him, because Marcus is fighting for something more important than the two of them. Here the shot goes back to Van waiting under the BART station. She sees Marcus looks at how tattered his body looks. Regard less of her respect for him and the state that he is in, tells herself how much she hates him. It was his fault that her friends and heart have been broken. As he walks closer the anger builds inside her. Her hand raises; he flinches and she goes in for a kiss.
