Script :)

Script:

1A

[In car: Engine is running: Lara at the driver seat: Tim in the passenger seat]

*Dan approaches car: Opens door and rides in: he holds a mugshot print in his hand of one of the druggies*

*Lara starts driving off*

1B

*Tim has an unlit cigarette in his mouth: Starts flicking the radio station and settles on one that plays the audio track Lara made on Garage Band*

*As Lara is driving off, Dan shows Tim the mugshot*

-Tim and Dan nod in agreement-

1C

Dan: Pull over there.

*Lara skid-stops*

[Fairly sketchy location: Quite urban and secluded]

2A

[Scene now moves to the lane adjacent to Lara’s home in Pucklechurch. Camera is looking at Tim’s back, over the car]

*Tim appears to pulling his zip up after having finished “having a slash”*

*Dan is standing on the other side of the car to Tim, by the back door, closer to the camera*

*Lara turns off the car engine and comes out of the car, slams the door behind her*

[Camera close up on Tim]

*Tim is about to light the cigarette but he is interrupted by Dan*

[Camera close up on Dan]

Dan: Check this out

[Camera close up on Lara]

Lara: Wha~

[Camera close up on Tim]

-Tim raises an eyebrow-

[Camera is now walking away with Tim, towards Dan, so all characters are now aligned in a row, this is one out of three scenes where we can apply the 180 degree rule]

2B

[Camera is now over Dan’s shoulder, With Lara in the frame, and Tim in the background shown barely interested. The camera is pointing towards the mugshot printout from over Dan’s shoulder]

Dan: Look over there.

*Dan points towards two people in the distance, one of them is the guy in the mugshot printout*

[Camera shifts over to over Lara’s shoulder, pointing towards the mugshot with Dan in the fram]

Lara: Let’s do it.

2C

[Screen blacks out as the camera is now shifted into the back boot of the car. As Lara opens it up, the three characters are now in the frame]

-Lara smirks-

Lara: See anything you like?

*Dan reaches to grab a revolver; he then holds it up, opens the barrel and knocks it back in*

Dan: I love my job.

*Lara grabs a snub nosed revolver and conceals it. She then gets a jacket out of the trunk and wears it*

*Tim grabs a gun and holds it up to eye level and holds it there as Lara interrupts*

Lara: Stick to the plan.

*Tim and Dan conceal their guns and start walking away*

*Lara shuts the trunk*

3A

[Camera is now moving sideways with Lara, walking down the lane, as she’s walking, we can see a hippy band in the background playing in sync with the music, so that’s a guitar, a bass and some drums. For this scene, I suggest a slightly tilted angle]

-Lara is looking shady with her jacket on as she’s walking-

*Kira is standing by the hippy band, with her knee bend supported on the wall wearing J. Lennon glasses. Kira slightly drops the glasses and looks at Lara with disapproval/disgust as she’s walking by. In my suggestion, we have a closeup on Kira doing so in order to emphasise her stance towards Lara, with the band playing within the frame. This is where we can have our manual focus shot*

*Lara finally approaches the 2 men*

[Music is still playing with a longshot from the encounter so audience can’t hear what’s being said in the encounter]

*Lara appears to be talking to the guys at this point in a pacifist manner. The idea here to show Lara going undercover attempting to purchase drugs from the shady characters*

*One of the characters extends their arm towards Lara to show that Lara has succeeded in convincing the seller*

*Lara very sharply whips her gun out*

[This is when the music should stop]

3B

[Camera is now is in about medium shot-distance: Showing all three characters from the waist and above in order to emphasise the conversation between them. The characters now shift from a triangle position into a position where Lara is on one side and the two other characters are on the other, emphasising the encounter’s hostility. The camera work at this point must be handheld and very shifty in order to stress the magnitude of the situation]

Lara: Hands over your heads. On your knees.

*The two dealers very sharply do as Lara says*

Scott: (As he’s complying to Lara) Shit man, I told you she’s a copper! Listen, I’ve got nothing to do with this, alright?

Charlie: (Interrupting Scott) Shut, Shut up man! Just shut it.

Scott: Honestly, I have nothing to do with this!

Lara: Fine then, what are you still doing here.

Scott: Wha~

Lara: Go.

*Scott starts running backwards and away, as he gets a bit further away, he turns around and starts jogging down the lane*

[Camera pans back from Scott onto Charlie]

*Charlie is trying to be sly, standing on one leg, prepared to run away*

*Lara points the gun back at Charlie, sharply*

Lara: DON’T move a muscle or I promise the last thing going through your head will be my lead.

*Charlie rests back on both of his knees*

-Charlie is restless-

-Lara smirks-

*Lara pulls out handcuffs*

Charlie: Oh no, c’mon you don’t have to do this.

*Lara goes behind Charlie and applies the handcuffs*

Charlie: Please! C’mon!

Lara: Stand up. Get moving.

*Charlie complies*

4A

[Scene is now back to 2C, in the trunk]

*Lara opens the boot*

Charlie: What?

*Lara orienteers Charlie with the gun’s muzzle assigning him to get inside*

Charlie: Nu-Uh. No way.

*Lara point the gun at Charlie’s head and pulls the gun hammer-lock back*

Charlie: Alright! Alright! Women.

[Camera shifts to the front of the car, observing the characters]

Lara: Good boy.

*Charlie ducks down and Lara shut the trunk*

*Lara conceals the gun and walks towards the car door, gets in and ignites the engine*

[Camera is moves to the left back corner of the car]

*Lara drives away*

5A

[In this scene, Dan and Tim are leaning on to something. This is a stake-out. The camera is looking at Dan and Tim’s backs]

*Tim has the unlit cigarette in his mouth*

[Silence for a few seconds]

-Dan is uncomfortable-

*Dan attempts to make a conversation with Tim*

Dan: Saw the game last night?

*Tim turns his head, looks at Dan, and then goes back to the starting posture*

Dan: Yeah, It was a good game. I won 300 quid from it.

[Few more seconds of silence]

Dan: Those shoes are really uncomfortable…

[Few more second of silence]

[Camera shifts to Tim’s side]

*Tim is about to light his cigarette, but he is interrupted*

[Camera focuses on Dan in the background]

Dan: They’re here.

[Camera is now at the back of Tim and Dan again, but this time, it has a longer sight and we can see Scott who ran away earlier knocking on one of the house doors]

Dan: Let’s go.

*Tim puts the lighter back in his pocket*

*Dan and Tim start walking towards the door. The door opens. Scott talks to Sam. Dan and Tim continue approaching. At this point, the music comes back on to emphasise tension building up. As Tim and Dan get close enough, Scott and Sam notice them. Dan and Tim start running. Tim goes after Scott. Sam tries to go back in the house and shut the door, but Dan gets there in time and he force opens it.*

6A

*Dan just pushed the door*

*Sam starts running to the back*

*Dan follows him*

*Sam heads upstairs*

*Dan follows him*

[At the top of the stairs, in this scene we apply the 180 degree rule and Shot-Reverse-Shot]

-Dan is stunned-

*Dan aims his gun very directly at Sam

*Tally is tied to a chair*

*Sam is standing behind Tally, holding a gun or a knife to Tally’s head/neck*

Sam: Back off, or say goodbye to the kid.

Dan: Don’t make me do this.

Sam: I said back off!

-Sam is in deep tension, we can see him shaking-

Dan: Put that motherfucking gun down, boy. You ain’t worth my bullets.

*Sam pulls the hammer back*

*Dan shoots Sam in the head* [This portion should be shot twice. Once with the camera between Sam and Dan, and it pans from Dan to Sam and another directly from Dan’s shoulder. This is to allow us to create two different shooting scenes to pick the one of the better quality]

6B

[High angle shot to show Dan in a heroic manner]

*Dan walks out of the house, with Tally in his arms*

7A

*Tim runs into a warehouse-like place whilst holding a gun, he then looks around for Scott*

*Tim is breathing heavily- turns around looking towards the entrance*

*Scott jumps in trying to slash Tim with a knife*

*Tim counter-attacks Scott-knocking the knife out of his hand, but also losing the gun meanwhile*

*Scott gets a gun out and runs behind an object*

*Tim very rapidly takes the gun off the ground and runs behind another object*

*Scott comes out and tries shooting at Tim – 6 times. And misses*

*Scott goes back behind the object and tries to reload*

*Tim heard the barrel opening click, and runs right up to Scott, looks at him in the eye and shoots him in the head*

8A

[The camera is at the back of Dan whilst he’s carrying the child]

*Tim walks into the frame and stands next to him*

*Tim lights up the cigarette, finally and inhales*

Dan: Turn that shit off. Can’t you see I’ve got a kid here.

-Tim is looking at Dan with calm anger-

*Tim throws the cigarette away*

[Car comes in and parks infront of Dan and Tim]

[Car is playing the same music]

*Dan and Tim go in the car*

[Car drives off]

8B

[In the car]

*Tally looks at Dan in the back seat*

Tally: I need a wee.

*Tim puts another unlit cigarette in his mouth, and reaches towards the radio and turns the music off*

Credits to Tim. :)
