Run.

Outline

Set in a warehouse and an upper-middle class neighborhood, Two People Die explores what we do when we are confronted with our own ethics. A philosophical quest under the guise of a hostage mishap.

Synopsis

An amateur criminal duo are given the task to retrieve a hostage for their higher up. When the task fails— Maisie accidentally kills the hostage—Tobias is forced to confront his ethical code, namely his belief in the least amount of people suffering (utilitarianism). Maisie asks Tobias to tie her up like a hostage— a flimsy plan for getting out of the hostage mishap. Tobias runs away, as Maisie requested. After hearing a gun shot behind him, Tobias is pulled by his conscience back to the warehouse— sticking it out with his partner in crime. Upon returning to the warehouse, he is shot dead.
