  1. #Scene: a well-dressed man working at a desk in an office with floor-to-ceiling glass and a view of the city.

    [phone rings twice before he picks up the receiver]

    Man: Ken White, general #counsel.

    [pause]

    Man: Hello? Is anyone there?

    [Someone responds. The voice is obviously electronically disguised, but sounds male. He speaks ominously.]

    Caller: We have her.

    Man: What? Who has who?

    Caller: ... We have your wife.

    Man: Is this a joke? Who is this?

    Caller: This is the guy who has your wife. She didn't make it to work this morning.

    Man: What? Why?

    [Man picks up his cell phone and starts texting his wife. He sends "Everything ok?"]

    Caller: She's fine, and you can help keep her that way.

    Man: What are you talking about?

    [Phone dings with a reply text. It just says "I told you we have her."]

    Caller: Ransom, Mr. White. I know exactly what you're worth, and you're going to follow my instructions and send it all to me.

    [White looks scared and horrified]

    Man: You #kidnapped my wife? For #ransom?

    Caller: Yes, Mr. White.

    [pause]

    Man: You don't know what you've done - I'm glad I'm not in your shoes. Good luck!

    [White hangs up]

    Thus starts an escape-and-revenge #action #movie with a 40-ish suburban woman as victim-turned-predator, who takes down every one of the #perps herself, messily and with great enjoyment. Think "Atomic Blonde"-grade kick-assery without the spy pretensions.
