Treatment

The opening scene begins in Adams kitchen, Adam in on his knees next to the body of Shaun, there is a knife in his chest and blood all over the floor as well as on Adams hands, Shaun is dead. Adam is distraught and obviously regretful of his actions which have taken place in the moments previously; he shouts out and hangs his head.

In a counselling room Rachel sits and talks to Adam about his feelings when he found out that Louise was cheating on him, subsequently Adam makes his feelings very clear, Rachel then goes on to ask Adam about the good times he spent together with Louise.
Adam and Louise are sitting on a park bench, they have there arms around each other and they both look happy together. At a train station Adam gets off a train and Louise runs up to him, they hug and kiss. Louise opens a present from Adam, she gets excited as soon as she opens the box and runs over to Adam and hugs him.

Adam tells Rachel how he can’t stop thinking about Louise cheating on him.

In a park Louise and Ian are walking together whilst holding hands, Adam is also walking through the park and sees the couple together although they don’t see him. Louise and Ian stop and kiss, Adam is distraught.

At Adams flat the door opens and Adam rushes in slamming the door behind him, he leans against the door and slides down until he is sitting on the floor; he puts his head in his hands and begins to cry. Adam is sitting on a sofa in his flat whilst Shaun comforts him about Louise cheating, although Shaun is trying to talk to Adam his words seem ineffective and Adam retains the same blank expression.

In Adams bedroom he sits on the floor next to the window, an entire day passes without Adam doing anything. Adam looks at pictures on his computer of himself and Louise, he begins to cry. Sitting on the floor Adam necks a big amount of vodka. He then preceeds to start drinking beers heavily. Adam draws the curtains of his room in a panicked state; he wants to seclude himself from life.

In the counselling room Rachel talks to Adam about how he has been dealing with being separated from Louise, he tells of how he can’t take away the pain and how he’s lost everything, he begins to break down.

There are knocks at the door of Adams flat and Shaun is shouting to be let in. Adam is sitting in his bedroom, he is awake and listening to what Shaun says but he doesn’t move. Shaun continues shouting and says that he and Adam need to talk about the situation, this time Adam raises his head and looks as though he has suddenly realised something.

In a park Louise and Ian are walking together whilst holding hands, Adam is also walking through the park and sees the couple together although they don’t see him. Suddenly it is no longer Louise and Ian but it is Louise and Shaun who are walking through the park holding hands, they stop and kiss.

In Adams bedroom he gets up from where he was sitting and goes into the kitchen, he has a look of anger and rage on his face; he goes to the draw and gets out a knife. Adam walks into the hallway; he hides the knife behind his back and opens the lock on the front door.
