 LO3: Script (Draft)

 Unit 5: Script

Scene 1:

Scene 1 will mainly consist of visuals and music and will not rely heavily on dialogue. There will however be brief scenes of dialogue to give the audience context as to what is happening.

Fade From Black:

Title Sequence over footage of people in a room 'getting ready' and dark streets of Sheffield.

Music will be playing in the background. 

Song: Peligro by Giggs and Dave.

Song starts from beginning and the title scene lasts for 33 seconds

until the vocals begin.

Once the title scene is over the sequence montage of people in a room will continue and will cross cut to shots of the streets with someone stood under a light exchanging 'goods' with passers by. 

No words will be spoken for the entirety of the scene, it will be completely made up of visuals.

Scene 2:

This scene properly begins when the main group break through the door into the shed. The same song will be playing during the transition of scenes and will stop when they break into the rivals groups 'hideout'.

A fight then breaks out.

Someone is shot and the leader of the rival group is beaten and dragged to the middle of the room.

Adam:

Get on your fucking knees before I put a bullet in your head.

Rival Leader:

Adam...

Adam:

Shouting

Get on your fucking knees.

People then drag the rival leader to his knees. Adam then points a gun to his head

Adam:

You've been running these streets for too long...

Rival leader interrupts

Rival Leader:

Adam mate, I'm sorry. I'll leave town. I'll never come back. Just think about what you're doing. 

Adam:

It's too late for all that shit now, you've known this was coming but your too fucking arrogant to care, that's why I'm the one with the gun and your the one on your knees begging for your life...

Rival interrupts again

Rival Leader:

You can take whatever you want, take it all. This life aint for me, I'm done, please just don't shoot.

Adam:

How do I know you'll say all of this today and then tomorrow I'll be the one on my knees surrounded by 50 of your boys thinking I should of just killed you here and now. 

Rival Leader:

I promise I won't. Please, I promise.

Adam interrupts

Adam:

You think your 'promise' means fuck all to me? You've survived for this long by lying to and manipulating everyone you've ever known. This is somet that should of happened years ago if you ask me. 

(pause)

Adresses the group stood behind the leader

Here's what's gunna happen. This is our territory now. We're taxing your shit and if you have a problem you can join your 'untouchable' leader and your mate over there. (pulls the hammer back on his gun). 

Rival Leader:

Please, it doesn't have to be like this.

Adam hesitates

Adam:

... Yes it does.

The screen the cuts to black with the sound of a gunshot echoing. 

Scene 3:

Everyone is walking down the street after they have just killed two people in another drug groups 'hideout'.

They are all laughing and happy except for Charlie who is annoyed by the way the events turned out.

Adam can see Charlie is annoyed and they both walk down a genal away from the group.]

Adam:

Mate what the fuck is up with you? This is what we've been working for. Since the beginning we've been trying to get on top and now we're moving up you've got a face like a slapped arse.

Charlie:

Bro what the fuck was that? I knew you were carrying a strap but you said it was just to intimidate them. We were meant to go in there and fuck 'em up, not to catch two bodies. 

Adam:

Don't give me that shit, you knew as well as anyone I was gunna use it. Why else would I walk into someone else's spot with a strap with no intention of using it. It's a kill or be killed world bro and they fuckin learned that today.

Charlie:

Mate I thought you were smarter than that. Now we've got two bodies, a group that are obviously gunna hit us back and the police are gunna be sniffing around this. All of this shit when you didn't even need to pull the trigger in the first place. We would have stormed them, taken their shit and taken their spot. Simple as that.

Adam:

Last time I checked, I was running this. I made the decision and now it's done. You saw the look on their faces just like I did. They're done. Probably gunna go work a 9-5 at Tesco instead cos they aint cut out for this shit. 

Charlie:

Listen we've been there for each other since day one but you can't tell me we're just gunna go in and kick fuck out of em and they pull out a pizzie and put a whole in two of them. 

Adam:

Ayt you know what, next time I'll talk it through with you, Jesus Christ.

Charlie:

Mate that's all I'm asking. We need to be on the same page when we're gunna do somet like this.

Adam:

Say less bro.

They fistbump 

Cut to the two of them walking off down the street.

Dip to black.

Scene 4:

Fade in from black.

Adam and Charlie will be sat in the two front seats of a car in an industrial area with Adam in the drivers seat and Charlie in the passenger seat. 

The camera will be in the back seat and will cut to shots outside of the car.

They will be waiting to pick up their 're-up' of drugs and will be making small talk during their wait.

Once they have made small talk for around 1-2 minutes the 'plug' will then arrive.

A ford fiesta will pull into the industrial unit.

Adam:

Ayt, lets get this re-up.

Charlie:

You think 'G' heard about our clean house job the other day?

Adam:

Fuck knows, guess we're about to find out.

They both get out of the car. The camera follows them out of the back window.

'G' (Gabe Walker) gets out of the car and starts walking towards them with two duffel bags.

Adam:

Sayin' lad

Adam and Charlie fist bump Gabe

Gabe:

Saying' lads. You boys think you can move this much product? It's nearly double what you got last time.

Charlie:

Have we ever let you down before?

Gabe:

I like that attitude, as long as I get mine, you boys will get yours innit. 

Adam: 

Say less bro, same time, same place next week?

Gabe:

Just like usual.

Adam: 

Safe.

They then all fist bump, Gabe hands Adam the bags and Adam and Charlie begin to walk away. 

Gabe then pull Charlie to one side while Adam is walking away.

Gabe:

(Whispering)

Listen, I've heard about your two's little business expansion. This shit aint gunna come without consequences. I've heard Harrison knows it was your group that took out his runners so keep your heads down. 

Charlie:

(Whispering)

Fuck, how the fuck does Harrison know it was us? 'B' was the only one that ever dealt with Harrison so aint no way anyone that was there told him?

Gabe:

(Whispering)

Listen I don't know how he knows but he does so keep your fucking heads down, ayt? We both knows he's not to be fucked with. Remember what he did to the last people that fucked with his guys.

Charlie:

(Whispering)

Fuck, Ayt I'll sort it out don't worry.

Gabe:

Watch out for Adam as well. Since I sold him that pizzie he's been walking around like he's grew and extra three inches, you get me?

Charlie:

Yeh mate I'll make sure he doesn't do anything stupid lad don't worry.

Gabe:

Ayt safe, hit me up when you've got rid of this weight.

Charlie:

Yeye lad will do safe.

They fist bump and Charlie walks back to the car.

He then gets into the passenger seat joining Adam in the car.

Adam:

What was that about huh?

Charlie:

Nowt mate... just congratulating us on growing a pair and moving more weight. 

Adam:

See I told you what I did was the right thing to do. We wouldn't be getting this credit if it wasn't for me taking out 'B'. You should listen to me more often. 

Charlie:

Are we gunna sit here talking all day or are we gunna get this shit dropped off to the runners?

Adam smiles

Adam:

Now that's the type of shit I like to hear.

They both laugh and begin to drive off.

Scene 5:

This scene cuts straight from scene 4.

Song: On me - Rickyleupext and Deep Green playing while Adam and Gabe do their 'drop offs'

They will be shown driving around and dropping off bags to people.

This 'montage' will last for around 1-2 minutes. 

The two will be seen laughing and driving around. 

This scene will then cut to the last person they are dropping their drugs off to. He will be on the phone waiting.

Runner:

(on the phone)

Yeman they're just coming up now. I'll head up to yours once I've got the shit. I don't know who Adam thinks he is at the minute. Seems to think he's some badman now. (listening to someone on the other end of the phone). Yeh bro they aint gunna find out I told you don't worry about that one. (listens the the person at the other end of the phone). Yeman sound, I'll catch you in a bit lad.

He then ends the phone, the camera cuts the phone revealing he was on the phone to Harrison revealing he is the one who snitched and told Harrison Adam and Charlie were behind the attack. This information is unknown to Adam and Charlie at this moment in time. 

Adam and Charlie then pull up to the runner.

Adam:

Saying lad, got ur shit here, you got the money from last time?

Runner: 

Yeh bro it's all there.

Adam:

Sound, Charlie pass him the bag.

Charlie then gets out the car and hands him a backpack. They fist bump and Charlie gets back in the car.

Runner:

What you boys on with tonight then? Wanna go for a pint or a smoke or something?

Adam:

Nah mate we're off down Red Lion for the night us, another time though yeah?

 Runner:

Yeman just hit me up, al see you boys around.

Charlie and Adam then drive off and the runner calls up Harrison again.

Runner:

Yo, you know where red lion is right? 

The scene then cuts to black.

Scene 6:

Fade in from black.

Adam and Charlie are walking down a dark street laughing having been out for the night.

The scene cross cuts between them walking and a car driving, it is implied it is towards them.

This cross curt montage will last for around 30-40 seconds.

The camera will then cut to Adam and Charlie. 

Car lights will appear behind them. 

4 people will then jump out of the car and will attack Charlie and Adam.

They will then put them in the back of the car and drive off. 

Scene 7:

The scene will fade in from black with Adam and Charlie tied up in a dark room with blindfolds over their faces.

A man will be sat across from them (Harrison). 

The blindfolds will then be pulled off of their faces.

They will all look at each other for a brief second.

Harrison:

I'll tell you what lads, you've got some balls I'll give you that. Not many people would take out my runners and take my territory. 

Adam and Charlie remain silent. 

Harrison:

Listen here's the problem, you've taken something that wasn't yours to take I'm afraid and you either need to make it right... or you die. Thats it, those two options. 

Charlie:

Listen mate 'B' and them lot were long out of their prime if you ask me. They were barley selling a draw a day. If you ask me we did you a favour getting rid of your dead weight for you.

Harrison:

Thats a funny way of looking at it. Making a decision you had no right to and then trying to justify yourself by insulting me and my judgement. Do you have a death wish or something?

Charlie:

I'm just telling you how I see it mate.

Harrison:

What I find even funnier is that from what I've heard, it wasn't even you that pulled the trigger. It was this cunt and you're here answering for him.

Adam:

You're right mate, I pulled the trigger. I ended B's life, so it should be me you kill, not Charlie.

Harrison:

You know what you're right.

Harrison picks up a gun, 

puts it to Adams head,

Adam shuts his eyes,

Harrison pulls the trigger but it is revealed the gun was not loaded.

Adam sighs in relief.

Adam:

(Muttering)

Fuckin hell

Harrison:

Listen lads I like your initiative, B was gunna go whether you took him out or not so all you've done is saved me a job. But taking him out doesn't come without a price. You're now gunna take over for him seeing as he's not exactly coming back any time soon and I've got a business to run. I'll supply you and you're gunna make good use of this new territory you've just acquired. 

Adam:

We've already got a supplier though mate. We can't exactly sell for both of you.

Harrison:

Oh okay fair enough, I guess you chose the second option. 

(Picks up another gun)

This one is actually loaded though mate, so don't think your gunna get off as easily as last time.

(puts the gun to Adams head)

In a bit pal...

Charlie:

(interrupts)

Mate we'll fucking sell for you, Jesus Christ.

Harrison:

See I knew one of you would come to your senses. But you are right about your other supplier he's got to go. You can't work for both of us. I'll give you... a week to kill him and work for me. 

Adam:

A week?

Harrison:

Mate this is about to be the third time I've nearly shot you in the face, I suggest you keep your fucking mouth shut and let your mate do the talking, alright?

Charlie:

We'll have it done mate.

Harrison:

Sounds like a deal to me then lads and remember, I can find you anywhere so make sure it's done. 

Charlie:

How do we tell you when we've done it?

Harrison:

I'll know mate don't worry about that.

(pause)

Right I think you two have outstayed your welcome here now, it's time for you to get the fuck out.

Blue Lights - Jorja Smith.

Music Fades in.

Masked men appear and blindfold the two of them. They drag them out.

A brief montage occurs with music still playing in the background with the two being thrown onto the street both looking distressed.

The scene fades to black.

Titles then begin playing.
