MY SECOND AND FINAL IDEA

The Stripper Killer: The Life of Andrew Kaufman (A Short Film)

Andrew Kaufman, a surveillance officer of a supermarket is a serial killer. He has murdered seven women in different states between 1972-1979. His victims were all in their early 20s, had blonde hair and were exotic dancers. His pattern is to kill one woman every year on Christmas Day.

During the month of September 1980, Andrew, a 29-year-old security officer watches the surveillance camera day after day and watches the cleaner leading a miserable life. Unbeknownst to Andrew, the cleaner is actually an undercover FBI agent, Daniel Hodge who works for the Behavioural Analysis  Unit (BAU). Andrew will kill again in three months. Daniel's task is to befriend the serial killer and catch him in his next murderous act. They talk briefly every day at the end of their work shifts for around four months. Andrew sees hints of himself within Daniel and so he chooses to socialise with him. Daniel takes him to a strip club where he gets intoxicated and talks about his previous relationship with his girlfriend and how she betrayed him by cheating on him with a richer man. He makes a few remarks about how he wishes he could kill her but she has left the country with the other man. Whilst staring at the blonde stripper on the stage he say that all whores deserve to die. Andrew believes that Daniel could be his prodigy. Daniel explains he has no family to spend Christmas with. Andrew also has no family or friends and feels that Daniel is similar to him. Andrew invites the Daniel over for Christmas dinner. After dinner, Andrew leads Daryl to the basement saying he has a present for him. In the room there is a stainless steel table with the naked blonde stripper tied to it. She is covered in blood. They exchange words whilst other members from the BAU task force are outside the house listening to what is happening through a hidden mic and burst in to take him down. The serial killer is told he will be facing a death sentence. The killer claims that he has killed other people than they are aware of and makes a deal to spend life in prison instead of being killed if he reveals one name and the location of a victim every two years, to Daniel every Christmas.

The film ends with the Daniel, now retired, being 32 years later leaving his family on Christmas Day to go to prison. He sits infront of Andrew and receives the name and location of the "Stripper Killer's" 16th victim.
