SCENE CONTEXT
A cramped white-tiled back kitchen in an older urban building, late evening. A kitchen worker is alone on an ordinary shift when a hooded man with a knife comes in through the back door. She never freezes and she never brawls - she slips his attacks and puts him down with what is already on the counter, and her body keeps the same loose unconscious rhythm it had while she was working. One continuous handheld take, 30 seconds, no cuts.

ACTIVE REFERENCES
@Image 1 defines THE WOMAN - her face, hair, body proportions and her exact outfit (plain fitted white short-sleeve T-shirt, loose deep-blue work trousers, pale kitchen shoes). Identity and clothing only. Do not use its background, its pose, its framing, its expression or its lighting.
@Image 2 defines THE KITCHEN - geometry, materials, surfaces and the fluorescent light sources only. Not camera, not framing, not people. The reference is empty of people; in this shot it is occupied. Do not expand, redress or upgrade the room beyond what the reference shows - no extra equipment, no wider room, no better finishes.
ADDED and not present in either reference: the hooded man, his knife, and the spilled sauce.

LOCATION MAP - HOLDS FOR THE WHOLE TAKE
A narrow galley kitchen about 2.2 metres wide. The stainless-steel prep counter runs along screen-LEFT for the full length of the room, about 90 cm high - just above the woman's hip. White square ceramic wall tiles above the counter, pale grey-white utility cupboards above those. Screen-RIGHT is a run of white upper cabinets and a tall pale refrigerator. The back door is at the far end, upstage centre-right, about 4 metres from the camera's opening position. Pale fluorescent ceiling tubes run down the centre of the ceiling. The camera keeps this arrangement for the entire take and never flips it: the counter is always screen-LEFT, the door is always upstage.

CHARACTERS
Exactly two people appear in the entire video. No one else enters and no one is visible through the door.
THE WOMAN - identity, hair and outfit strictly from @Image 1. She moves like someone who has worked this shift a thousand times: economical, loose, unhurried even while she is being attacked.
THE MAN - invented, no reference. Adult, taller and heavier than her, in a dark grey hooded sweatshirt with the hood up, dark trousers, worn trainers. His face is never clearly visible at any point - the hood shadows it and he is seen mostly from behind, in profile, or with his head turned away. Do not render a clear frontal face for him at any moment, including while he speaks.

FIRST FRAME
Occupied immediately: the woman is already at the counter with her back three-quarters to camera, already working, already swaying slightly. The camera is already drifting, not starting from rest.

FORMAT MODE
One continuous take, 30 seconds. No cuts, no cutaways, no dissolves, no transitions of any kind. Real time throughout - no slow motion, no speed ramps, no undercranking at any point, including the impacts.

OPTICS / CAMERA
Shot like handheld observational documentary footage: a single operator on foot with a small camera, following one person through a narrow kitchen. Close, physical, slightly imperfect. Small natural drift, tiny reframing corrections, occasional slight focus breathing, natural motion blur when she moves fast. The operator stays at standing eye height, backs up when she comes toward camera, and never floats, never rises off the floor, never passes through an object. Framing lives between medium-wide and medium-close; the operator loses her slightly at two moments and corrects. The lens is locked - no zooms.

OBJECT PRE-PLACEMENT AT 00:00, before anything happens
Already on the counter, screen-LEFT, in this order away from camera: a large translucent plastic tub of thick red-orange sauce with its lid off, sitting at the centre of the counter; a round stainless-steel pot lid resting against the tiled wall just to its right; a white plastic container of chopped vegetables; a wooden cutting board. A pair of long stainless kitchen tongs hangs from a hook on the tiled wall at her shoulder height. An old pale fan sits on top of the refrigerator, not running.
The man carries exactly one object in: a short kitchen knife in his right hand. Nothing else enters the room. No object appears, disappears, floats, or morphs into another object at any point.

ACTION TIMING - continuous, one take
0.0-5.0 - She works at the counter, three-quarters back to camera, moving chopped vegetables from the board into a white container with her right hand. While she works her body sways gently left and right, her shoulders follow, her head makes a tiny rhythmic tilt. Her left hand rests on the counter edge. Nothing has happened yet. The camera drifts slowly in behind her left shoulder.

5.0-8.5 - The door mechanism clacks. She stops mid-motion and turns her head upstage. The hooded man is already inside, three metres away, the knife low in his right hand at hip height. She straightens and takes one step back along the counter, dropping the piece of vegetable she was holding. Her eyes widen, her breath catches, her jaw sets - she does not scream. At 6.3 seconds she speaks. At 7.4 seconds he answers, his head turned three-quarters away so his mouth is not clearly visible. The camera reframes to hold both of them, her in the foreground screen-LEFT, him deeper upstage.

8.5-13.0 - He closes the distance in three strides and thrusts the knife forward at her stomach from her right side. She does not block it: she pivots on her left foot and folds her torso back and away, the blade passing in front of her T-shirt, and lets the motion carry her two steps further along the counter, her left hand skimming the stainless top. It reads as one continuous weight shift, not a stumble. The knife tip scrapes the tiled wall behind where she was. The camera backs up with her.

13.0-19.0 - He recovers and swings the knife across at her upper body. Her left hand finds the stainless pot lid on the counter without her looking at it and brings it up flat between them. The blade strikes the lid and skids off; the impact drives her left wrist back toward her shoulder and she absorbs it by turning with it. In the same continuous turn her right hand comes off the counter and lifts the long tongs off the wall hook. The camera pushes close on her upper body, then widens as she turns.

19.0-24.0 - He thrusts again. She catches his knife wrist in the jaws of the tongs, clamps, and twists her whole body away from him - hips first, then shoulders. His arm follows the twist because it has to. The knife drops out of his hand onto the stainless counter and slides. As her body completes the twist, her right elbow sweeps the open sauce tub off the counter edge into his chest and face. The thick red-orange sauce lands in heavy lobes down the front of his hoodie and across his face, and spatters up the white tiles behind him, where it begins to run.

24.0-30.0 - Blinded, he grabs at his own face with both hands and staggers a half step. She steps in, hooks her right foot behind his near knee and drives forward; his leg folds and he goes down onto both knees. She brings the pot lid down flat onto his upper back and leans her weight through it, folding him forward over the counter edge, face down, his arms pinned under his own chest. She holds it. Her chest rises and falls hard. She pushes a loose strand of hair back off her face with the back of her wrist. At 27.5 seconds she speaks, quietly, mostly to herself. Then, without noticing she is doing it, her right heel lifts and taps the floor once in the same small rhythm she had at the start, and taps again. The camera settles, still slightly drifting. End.

DIALOGUE
Dialogue language: English. Only three lines are spoken in the entire video, in this order.
At 6.3 seconds the woman says in flat, low, steady English, barely raising her voice: {Back off.}
At 7.4 seconds the man says in muffled, hoarse English from under the hood, his head turned away so his mouth is not clearly visible: {Give me the cash.}
At 27.5 seconds the woman says in English, breathing hard, dry and almost to herself: {We're closed.}
Each speaker's lip movements must precisely match the pronunciation of their English line. While one person speaks, the other person's lips stay closed and still. No other words are spoken by anyone at any point.

CONTACT RULES
Their bodies never interlock. Every contact between them is brief, is mediated by a hard object - the pot lid, the tongs, or her shoe - and lasts under one second, except the final pin, where the only contact is the flat lid against his back and her hands on the lid. There is no grappling, no wrestling, no clinch, no punching, no arms wrapped around a body, no hands on faces or throats. Their limbs never overlap in a way that hides which limb belongs to whom. At every moment it is unambiguous which arm and which leg belong to which person, and each person has exactly two arms and two legs.

PHYSICS
The knife has real mass and a short blade - heavy in the hand, its point dropping when he is not driving it. The stainless pot lid is light but rigid: struck by the blade it rings dull and shoves her wrist back, it does not bend or absorb. The tongs are springy stainless steel; when she clamps them the jaws close visibly and the metal flexes. The sauce is thick and slow - it leaves the tub in lobes rather than a sheet, lands with weight, clings, and only then begins to run; on the vertical white tiles it runs in narrow slow trails. Her cotton T-shirt is light and creases at the shoulder and waist as she twists; his hoodie is heavy fleece and swings a beat behind him. Footwork: heel lands first, strict left-right alternation, one foot always on the ground, no sliding, no floating.

LIGHTING
The pale fluorescent ceiling tubes are the only light sources and none of them switches on or off at any point in the take. Every brightness change in the frame is occlusion - a body passing under a tube, a shoulder shadowing the counter - never a lighting event. Slight green fluorescent contamination in the whites, lifted blacks, low-to-medium contrast, soft highlights.

COLOR
The frame is mostly white, pale blue, pale cyan, light grey, natural skin, and the deep blue of her trousers. His hoodie is dark grey, not black. The only strong warm colour anywhere in the video is the red-orange sauce, which stays contained in its tub until 24 seconds and then becomes the single loudest thing in frame. If a frame reads warm or golden before 24 seconds, that frame is wrong. No teal-and-orange grade, no warm practical lights, no HDR, no glossy commercial lighting.

AUDIO
Diegetic sound only. Fluorescent hum, refrigerator compressor, ventilation, her knife and the vegetables on the board, her footsteps and clothing movement. The door mechanism clack at 5 seconds. Her single sharp intake of breath as she turns. The ceramic scrape of the blade on tile. The dull metallic bang of blade on lid. The flat clatter of the knife landing on the stainless counter. The wet heavy slap of the sauce hitting fabric. His muffled grunt and his breathing through the sauce. Her breathing, hard and audible, through the last six seconds. Spoken audio is only the three quoted lines above, in that order and at those times, one voice at a time. No other dialogue. No music of any kind.

STYLE / QUALITY
Late-1990s / early-2000s Hong Kong urban film photography: milky blue-white whites, pale cyan shadows, slightly desaturated skin, soft grey-blue midtones, fine 35mm grain, slight halation on the fluorescent tubes, very subtle haze, natural motion blur, slightly imperfect sharpness. Soft, intimate, cool and slightly washed out - not modern and digitally crisp - but sharp enough that faces stay readable. Natural 180-degree shutter cadence. No ghosting, no duplicated limbs, no flicker, no identity drift.
