WOMAN

Yeah it's just down the road and take the second right

MAN

I'm glad you answered, the last person I asked wasn't as helpful.

 He takes his hand off the weapon and leaves. 

INT. SUBURBAN HOME (NIGHT)

DAVID and his friend, PAUL are discussing what to do and who the note could refer to, they decide to leave but DAVID insists on going to get stuff from the shop.

PAUL

We can’t stay here, come on, we have to leave!

DAVID

Hold on, we need to get food and some money first.

PAUL

Fine, fine, just..I’ll start packing, just hurry back.

David leaves the house. The man arrives at the house and kills PAUL and proceeds to search for the briefcase. DAVID arrives home and sees the killer and his friend’s corpse. He flees the house, grabbing the hidden case on his way out.

EXT. ALLEYWAY (NIGHT)

DAVID continues to run from the assailant but is caught in a dead-end. The assailant is slowly approaching with his knife drawn. DAVID hides, then wrestles the assailant, grabbing the knife out of his hand before proceeding to stab the assailant. He then returns home to see the man who he just killed. It is then apparent to the audience that the man who had been killed and this man are twins. We cut to the outside of the house where a gunshot is heard and we see the man leaving with the briefcase and cleaning his boots.
