"SNATCH" (2000)

SNATCH

By Guy Ritchie

(

Draft 4 FOR EDUCATIONAL August/9/1999 PURPOSES ONLY

We open on a GUARD sitting in front of a sentry post. He is wearing a heavy fur hat that covers his ears and a military- jacket. Behind him is a list of instructions (in Russian). He 'sucks in a cigarette as though he's a drowning man lookin for oxygen. A CAR comes to a stop by the sentry post, the, guard looks, asks a couple of questions and is given an -envelope which he quickly examines, he then attempts to stick his head in the car. A gun barrel is promptly stuck in his face and a couple of angry words emanate from the back, the guard jumps back and quickly raises the barrier.

This next section will be intercut with the credit sequence.

«•'

On the back seat is FRANKY FOUR -FINGERS, (New York street wise Jew) who is clutching a fancy looking briefcase which is handcuffed to his wrist. He is flanked by TWO RUSSIAN HOODS. This next section will be subtitled.

Just then the car comes to a standstill. The window is wound down and a gun barrel is stuck through. The RUSSIAN DRIVER looks dramatically calm.

Franky hesitates for a second.

Franky knows discussion is futile. He flips the case open and pulls out a transparent plastic bag full of American dollars. The package is pulled out of the window, the driver doesn't move, we dissolve for a passage of time, the anxiety is more than obvious, but Four Fingers can do nothing. All of a sudden a package comes through the window and the car speeds off without waiting for an inspection of the delivery.

2 CONTINUED:

Franky opens the package and he reveals a stone the size of a fist. He shines a torch onto it and puts a stone inspectin monocle to his eye. He's satisfied.

CUT TO: MUSIC,A CLOSE UP OF THE DIAMOND. MIX TO: ANOTHER DIAMOND BEING HELD BY AN OVERWEIGHT BLACK MAN. CUT TO: MONTAG INVOLVING ALL THE CHARACTERS IN THE FILM. DEALING OR HAVING SOMETHING TO DO WITH DIAMONDS OR THEFT. ONE SHOT AND SET UP TAKES US SEAMLESSLY INTO ANOTHER SHOT AND SET UP. THIS GOES

Franky Four Fingers opens a fancy case, presses a hidden catch, this reveals a second wall within the case, he then carefully places the stone within this secret compartment and firmly closes the case. The Russian next to him is playing with a revolver, he spins the chamber.

Franky takes the card looks at it and repeats the name.

Boris?

CUT TO:CU OF SPINNING GUN CHAMBER

CUT TO:CU OF SPINNING GUN CHAMBER

We are in the back room of an amusement arcade and can hear fruit machines beeping in the distance. Meet BORIS THE BLADE and TOMMY who is toying with a heavy-looking revolver.

Tommy practices a couple of gun slinging maneuvers. He's impressed. At that moment the door opens and in walks a MAN carrying two heavy sacks of coins. He's a rough looking bastard, he's massive, and extremely ugly. Meet GORGEOUS GEORGE.

3 CONTINUED:

George looks at the weapon and can see that he's interrupting.

George isn't too bright

-. George puts down the coins. Tommy implies he should leave. Gorgeous isn't too bright and continues to stand there looking stupid. Tommy goes to turn around but can see that he hasn't left, so he turns back,

Tommy turns round to Boris with a slight shake of his head.

Boris chews this for a second.

He tosses the coin

CUT TO: CU OF SPINNING COIN

CUT TO :CU OF SPINNING COIN

Meet HANDS. On the phone. Cool young street wise NY diamond dealer. He catches a coin.

Franky's on the phone.

Dramatic pause

The phone goes down and Hands looks up at a COLLEAGUE.

On the phone subtitled

He's talking to LIAM and GARY, a couple of employees.

7 CONTINUED:

Taken aback by the change in tone.

There is a definite change in temperature.

There is a problem

Pause

Liam takes a step to the side and moves his eyes in a sideways action implying the guilt lies with Gary. Gary catches this and opens his mouth to protest. One of Brick Tops's henchmen, ERROL, sticks a belt in there as quick as it opens and smashes a bar across Gary's legs, he buckles. The henchman man pulls out a plastic bag and a roll of tape.

CUT TO FIGHTERS. SMALLER FIGHTER IS DISTRACTED.

7 CONTINUED: (2)

POV of Smaller Fighter, we witness Liam putting the bag over Gary's head and tying tape round his neck. Gary tries to resist but it's futile and we vaguely witness the demise of poor Gary.

CUT TO BRICK TOP

Brick Top turns away at this point to admire his fighter.

We cut to see Liam's panic filled eyes. The bar comes down again. Brick Top finds more interest in his fighter.

With a short beat.

We whip pan off Brick Top's boxing ring...

...And the whip pan shot takes us into this boxing ring. Meet TURKISH, he is Tommy's partner. Turkish is older and wiser than Tommy, they are both watching Gorgeous go through his paces. Gorgeous George is head butting a heavy punch bag. The sound that emanates is disturbing, and Tommy is distracted.

Turkish is drinking milk from a bottle

Turkish looks over his shoulder and then points to himself

v

8 CONTINUED:

Turkish looks at the WATER BOY.

He turns .back to Tommy.

He turns to see the remnants of a caravan where they keep the training gear and administration for the fights

He looks at the caravan again and sighs, it is quite pitiful

Turning back to Tommy and ascending the steps in to his "I have seen better days" caravan, TURKISH'S foot goes through one of the stairs and the.door comes off at the hinges as he tries to open it.

He passes him a piece of paper

Tommy looks at the address and frowns.

CONTINUED: (2).

He is distracted by the bulge in Tommy's trouser front.

Pointing quite clearly at the gun.

Looking down onto his gun.

Turkish pulls the gun out of Tommy's front.

8 CONTINUED:( 3 )

He spins the chamber

CUT TO: CU OF GUN CHAMBER

CUT TO: CU OF GUN CHAMBER

Boris is showing Franky a large pistol.

Pause

Franky nods for him to go on .

The camera tracks into Franky: he has a problem and it's been exposed.

9 CONTINUED:

Frankie shrugs and implies he wants to hear more.

On the phone.

DOUG THE HEAD is an east London Jew, about forty five, almost completely bald and proud of it, he sits with his two twin daughters ALEX and SUSI - they look like Prada models but as soon as they open their mouths, it's clear that they aren't, they have extremely rough London accents. Doug is on the phone to Hands.

Hands shakes his head in disbelief.

He puts the phone down.

11 CONTINUED:

SUSI, . . Yes Dad, you told us.

Doug looks mildly embarrassed

Pause.

He throws the half eaten sandwich out the window.

We cut to an enormous and frightening looking dog sniffing the half eaten prawn sandwich, before he is yanked away by his master. The dog is a lively young thing. We raise the camera to see the man that is walking it. Meet VINNY. Vinny is a very large black man - the size is due to dumplings not dumbbells. He .stops outside a shop. We see it clearly. It's a pawnbrokers.

12 CONTINUED:

Vinny enters the pawn shop.

Meet SOL, who's behind the counter, Vinny's partner in the pawn shop. He's concentrating on the deal at hand with BAD BOY LINCOLN and has a stone-inspecting monocle to his eye.

They are in deep discussion and only Lincoln responds.

Lincoln's face drops

13 CONTINUED:

It 's worth more than fuck what, but not a lot more.

• stick to being a gangster and leave

this game to me and Sol.

Sol looks round properly at Vin and can see that he's accompanied by a dog. '

Sol considers this and decides it can't be all bad.

13 CONTINUED:(2)

Vin turns around and runs into Boris, who's entered the shop without making a noise.

We can hear Vinny in the background

Tommy is driving down a country lane with Gorgeous George in the passenger seat.

Cut to a caravan camp site comes into view. It's the PIKEY ENCAMPMENT.

14 CONTINUED:

They arrive in the camp site and the car is immediately surrounded by KIDS. The kids (most of whom are on bikes) speak with a sort of Anglo-Irish mix that sounds as rough as the kids look. ,

14 CONTINUED:(2_) .

There is a pause, the boy doesn't move.

There is another pause.

Chuckling.

A man shouts from the background. He's a young fella with a hard but friendly face (when he smiles). He's covered in grease and facial hair, and his trousers are done up with string. But he's wearing a Cartier watch and Gucci shoes, and a large gold identity bracelet. This is MICKY O'NEILL.

Micky comes up to the car, cleaning his grease covered hands with a hand towel.

14 CONTINUED: ( 3 )

Gorgeous George steps out of the car. Micky takes a step back.

The kids start to feel his arms. Gorgeous George plays the game and raises the kids on his biceps. Micky's MUM comes out to see.

14 CONTINUED:( 4 )

Tommy and Gorgeous follow Micky who's walking past a kennel. The dogs are in good condition, and are happy as you like to see. Micky stops and gives one of them a stroke.

We open on Vinny's dog, now sitting in a car, it's breathing heavily and doesn't look well, and Sol doesn't see the funny side of the dog sitting next to him. The man driving is called TYRONE: he's a white guy who thinks he's black. Vin is also in the car.

Tyrone turns round to complain, and narrowly misses a car.

Sol gives the dog another biscuit.

Tyrone gets out of the car to put some petrol in.

15 CONTINUED:

Sol and Vin raise their eyebrows.

Sol unzips a bag. Inside is a ridiculously powerful shotgun.

15 CONTINUED: ( ? )

Tyrone gets into the car, starts it up again and puts some money in the car wash machine.

Vin pulls the dog back.

The car wash starts.

The machine starts. They do the windows up and that point the dog lets out a fart. The water starts to hit the windshield so they can't undo the windows. There is more an atmosphere of disbelief than of concrete anger.

Gorgeous George fastens the caravan to the back of their Land Rover and pulls away. They wave at Micky and he reciprocates.

Tommy has a dog that looks distressed about leaving Micky sitting next to him.

Just then the wheels of the caravan come straight off and the caravan is dragged until the car comes to a sudden stop. The dog jumps out the window and goes bounding back to the campsite.

They are looking at the damage. Of course i t ' scompletely useless now.

I don't think it's supposed to have done that.

The dog is behind Micky's legs happy to be back.

Tommy goes to interrupt but he doesn't get a chance

There is a silence for a while. The atmosphere has gone more than frosty and a few more gypsies are hanging around.

Interrupted

19 CONTINUED:

Gorgeous George steps forward.

Micky's Mum is getting upset and it's consequently upsetting Micky.

Micky calls to one of the lads standing by.

We see Mum being led out by Darren; Micky looks genuinely concerned for his mum. Pause as Micky waits for her to be well gone.

Tommy looks at Gorgeous George. Gorgeous George raises his eyebrows.

The two fighters start pacing. It looks a bit ridiculous, Micky is dwarfed by comparison. Gorgeous George takes a swipe: it was an .impressive punch, but Micky is a quick littl bastard and sidesteps. Micky does nothing to retaliate; his hands are still by his,side.

20 CONTINUED:

Gorgeous George lunges out and grabs Micky by the throat and groin, picks him up like a sack of spuds and throws him against the car door. All eyes are on Micky for a second or two, then he rises and appears little bothered by this, he gets up brushes himself off and starts to pace again, hardly even looking at the big man.

Micky ignores this and continues to pace, the big fella grabs him and puts him in a headlock and charges him into the stable door. There is a terrible noise.

It appears as though this is going to get messy and any humour that might have been around has now evaporated. Micky raises his head there is still no damage to speak of. All of a sudden he starts jumping up and down like he's warming up, throwing a few shadow punches, taking off his shirt. This reveals a heavily tattooed and scarred torso, and underneath these embellishments is a physique that warrants some respect.

Micky starts pacing, and throwing out a couple of shadow punches with his back to Gorgeous George, he still hasn't really acknowledged his opponent. Gorgeous George moves in for the coup de grace, Micky spins on his feet and catches the big man under the jaw.

CUT TO BLACK

FADE IN: We see Gorgeous George lying on the floor with a head the size of a water melon. There is blood streaming out of every orifice in his head - he's in.big trouble. We are in slow motion;- there's a lot of activity going on around the body on the floor, their mouths are open but we can't hear what they are saying, all we can hear is the voice over given by Tommy.

20 CONTINUED: (2)

We see Turkish with a somewhat serious expression on his face he has his customary pint of milk on one side, he takes a sip and "ohhhs" and "arrrs" for a while.

So you're telling me he would have run you through if Gorgeous hadn't woken up?

He pantomimes a man that would reach his navel

He raises his voice

21 CONTINUED:

Pause there is no correlation as Tommy knows.

21 CONTINUED:(2)

Pause for thought, then Turkish has the look of a man that has come across a really bright idea.

Doug the Head and Franky Four Fingers are doing a deal. Doug has a case open and is admiring a couple of stones.

Pause. Franky's in a rush.

He looks at his watch

22 CONTINUED:

Doug raises his eyebrows

Doug is on the phone to Hands.

24 CONTINUED:

There is a serious expression of alarm on Hands's face - the camera crashes in.

Hands isn't happy.

24 CONTINUED:( 2 )

Hands pulls a face like "what kind of a stupid question is that?" He them starts to shout

The phone is slammed down.

We see the undercarriage of Concorde taking off.

Tommy and Turkish walk into a pub and approach the BARMAN. They reach the bar. . .

The barman looks them up and down a bit. He's not doing anything.

TURKISH • I am not asking you to break sweat,

Well make a call and see if someone else has. Say it's Turkish.

The barman looks bothered by the fact he has to move but wanders off. Turkish looks at the pool table.

26 CONTINUED:

They both give the table an eyeball.

TWO HEAVY LOOKING FELLAS appear out of the woodwork.

The heavy fella opens up the bar and beckons Turkish and Tommy through. They go through another door and the corridor turns into a mass of dogs barking, snarling 'and whining in cages. The mood is sinister..they reach another door, they open up and we are introduced to a dog fight. A load of HEAVY GEEZERS are commenting on the performance of the dogs, one dog is being carried out by a single leg, it's covered in blood. Another dog is left in the ring, it too is covered in blood but it's survived.

A circle of blunt faces are exchanging money with one another A few faces turn round to examine Tommy and Turkish, they frown slightly but carry on about their business once they see they are accompanied by the muscle.

The heavy walks over to Brick Top. The heavy taps him on the shoulder and whispers. He acknowledges, and gives his drink to the heavy. He walks over. There is a cage next to Brick Top which has a pit bull in, and Brick Top who is carrying a cane pokes it through the cage doors. The dog snarls back.

27 CONTINUED:

He looks at the appalled faces of Turkish and Tommy.

Brick Top turns round and indicates that he would like the noise around him to drop. It does marginally.

Brick Top turns round again at the already subdued crowd, he doesn't raise his voice but the crowd reacts.

A tangible silence between the men reflects Brick Top's authority.

27 CONTINUED: .(2)

Brick Top wasn't expecting anything out of Tommy.

Pause: a look of you're kidding comes over his face.

Pause

The black guys pull up in'Tyrone's car outside the bookies Vin is playing with the dog in the back.

28 CONTINUED:

Vin throws a sandwich to Sol but the dog catches it whilst it ' sin flight and swallows it in one gulp.

The car has stopped.

Tyrone gets a little over-excited with the accelerator and reverses with a crashing sound into the rear of the van behin---- them (ie it:s parked back to back with them).

28 CONTINUED: ( 2 )

Tyrone makes to move the van forward again.

Vin is confused as to this last statement.

- The dog starts whining.

Sol throws a plastic squeaky dog ball that was in the front. The dog grabs in and swallows it in one gulp. The brothers look on in shock.

The dog looks up having completed the task. Vin who looks quite alarmed holds the dog by the ribs and squeezes, there is a squeak.

Doug and Alex are waiting to pick- up Hands.

Doug is in shock.

'.Pause: she thinks about this.

2 9 CONTINUED •

SHOT OF CONCORDE'S WHEELS TOUCHING DOWN

Hands and his sidekick Rosebud are coming out of the sliding glass doors towards Doug who's now standing by the car with his arms crossed. Hands is quite clearly looking for a car.

He stops looking for his car and focuses on Doug.

• HANDS Fuck off you fat bald bastard - and where's my car?

The black guys are sitting in the car still. The occasional squeak comes from the dog.

Sol shrugs.

31 CONTINUED:

He rubs his fingers symbolically together

Sol turns round to talk to Tyrone.

He turns back just as a MAN is stepping into the bookies: he is carrying a case.

Don't ask me, you're the one supposed to keep an eye on it. How many fingers did he have?

They get out of the van and go up to the bookies, leaving Tyrone in the van. There's a double set of glass doors. Sol pushes them open, and Vinny walks in first, while Sol hangs back with the shotgun.

Inside is the MAN with the case, busy filling in a slip, and TWO CLERKS behind the betting counter. Vinny doesn't mince around and goes straight to the counter, where the HEAD CLERK PAULINE, comes up to help.

32 CONTINUED:

Vinny then leans over the counter to get menacing. Pauline looks more than a little concerned

He is cut short, as Pauline triggers a button under the counter and a security screen comes flying up at a very rapid rate of knots protecting all the counters. This has the unfortunate consequence of taking Vinny with it. Poor Vin is shot straight to the ceiling, all we can see is half a body and his desperately searching for ground legs. Needless to say this leaves Sol in a bit of a bewildered state. He's looking the wrong way at the critical moment and is left wondering what happened, not having seen Vince impaled on the ceiling. Sol extracts the enormous shotgun.

He spins round looking for his colleague. A muffled noise tells him to look up. ,

A few groans emanate from the other side of the counter. Sol panics some more, and decides that emergency action is called for. .

32 CONTINUED: (2.)

Sol raises the gun and fires into the side .of- the wall. There's an enormous explosion and a clear hole is made in the side of the wall. The powerful kick from the gun also makes Sol momentarily airborne.

We see Tyrone grimace at the sound of the shotgun.

Sol pulls himself together and marches up to the hole in the wall that the shot created and pokes the gun through.

Pauline knows she has lost this one and looks genuinely scared.

The screen comes down with a thud. This means that Vince comes down with just as serious a thud. He lets out another groan.

A weakened voice retorts.

Consoled that his colleague is not dead it's back to business for Sol. He raises the gun and pulls his fiercest face.

34 CONTINUED:

There is a pause. Sol knows he's fucked. She points to a black board that clearly states "ALL BETS ARE OFF"

Pause

Sol's temper does have a limit.

Sol points at the man on the floor who is carrying the case.

The man holds his hands up. He has got a perfect set of five fingers on both hands. Sol puts his head in his hands. Pauline and the other clerk put two bags full of coins on the counter. Sol picks them up and frowns, he's not happy with a bag full of change. He puts his gun down and starts to rifle through the bag. Pauline can see Vinny's pistol on the counter, dropped after his encounter with the screen.

34 CONTINUED:(2.)

Pauline sees her opportunity and grabs the pistol. Sol .goes for it too, but he's beaten to it. Sol ducks, pulling Vince with him, Pauline lets out a series of shots in their direction, Sol counter blasts over the top of the counter. The security screen comes flying back up.

Vinny does sound convincingly desperate.

He grabs the bag of copper coins, grabs Vince and marches towards the double'doors. They open the first set and then they try to open the second. They push the door nothing happens. There is no going back. Sol starts to kick the glass door, but it doesn't budge. With panic rising swiftly, Sol doesn't fuck around he takes aim with the handgun and fires, the bullet shatters the glass but it doesn't break through, and the bullet now ricochets off both glass doors shattering bullet-proof glass all around them. Vinny's panic filled eyes attempt to follow its trajectory. Sol is unaware of the ricochet and before Vin has time to warn him, Sol fires another bullet. Now he observes the problem and waits for the inevitable. The bullet tears through the bag of coins, which then empties its contents at Vin's and Sol's feet. Eventually the bullet hits poor Vince in the thigh. Sol sinks to the floor, he has given up. Amongst the yells emanating from Vince we can hear Sol's pathetic and desperate whimpering.

At that point Tyrone appears and pushes the door open. The door was open the whole time - only Sol was pushing it the wrong way. „ • '

They stumble out into the street. Vinny is in big trouble. They throw him into the van. Just as Sol gets into the back, we hear kicking noises on metal from the van behind. Tyrone pulls out. And the rear doors of the van behind them fly open. Franky Four Fingers appears from the back of this • van. He was locked in due to the fact that the black guys' van was blocking his exit.

34 CONTINUED:(3.)

Tyrone takes an interest in the man from the van (ie Franky) seeing that he's carrying a case and the case is connected to his wrist.

The Aston Martin comes to a screeching halt outside. Doug is quite pale from the ride. Hands looks almost satisfied with the car.

He then looks at the sign of the rundown venue, his eyes squint incredulously.

Doug approaches the entrance.

Doug passes him a ticket. The doorman steps to the side. They continue to walk past several other doorman who all inspect the ticket.

36 CONTINUED: .

They get nudged aside by an entourage of men coming through.

Hands points out Brick Top who is being crowded by minders.

He touches the side of his nose and inhales.

He points out JACK "THE ALL SEEING EYE" and SALT PETER: they are surrounded by heavies.

Cut back to Jack and Salt Pete.

Cut to a few still shots of atrocities committed by the men in question. ,

36 CONTINUED: ( 2 )

: CUT TO:BRICK TOP & ERROL

Brick Top nods at Jack and Salt Peter, they nod back.

REF . '• In the blue corner I have the young and only unchallenged cutthroat of calamity, meaner than Beelzebub's conscience cleaner. Give it up for the bone crunching one punch machine gun -- Micky.

A murky sound of displeasure emanates round the arena. The audience don't know who he is and don't care either.

The audience goes mad. It's hard to tell whether it's out of affectionate enthusiasm or just enthusiasm.

The two come out to fight. Bomber Harris lifts his monster hands to do damage. They pace each other for a second. Then Micky lets one go. <

37 CONTINUED:

It hits Bomber Harris square on the jaw this has the effect of forcing blood out of his ears the man is positively out cold. We crashtrack into various characters' reactions: Brick Top, Turkish and Tommy etc. All are in shock. The ref (who is obviously paid off as well) tries to resuscitate Harris/ but it's not happening, he catches a look of desperation from one of the villains and is eventually left with little choice but to hold Micky's hand up. We cut to the nasty looking characters that we saw before they have approached with their heavies, and they are obviously not satisfied. .

JACK THE ALL SEEING EYE I have just said goodbye to forty large because of you, what's the crack?

(NB: the first half of this scene happens about midway scene 28 - as Tyrone parks the van )

We cut back to Frankie Four Fingers getting out of his van. He takes a quick look around and enters the back of his van. There he raises the spare tire and picks up his gun, he examines it and places it in his trouser front. He then turns to exit. At which point there is a loud smash and Franky is knocked backwards (as Tyrone hits his van).

WE CUT TO BLACK. '

WE FADE UP

(Time-wise, we're now at the end of scene 34)

Frankie wakes up. He has a trickle of blood dripping down the back of his neck, he looks at his watch and panics. He kicks the doors a couple of times - nothing happens, but on the third kick the doors spring open. Franky brushes himself off and makes his way to the bookies.

We cut to Tyrone. Tyrone clocks the case attached to Franky' wrist. Gets out and slams the end of the gun across Franky Four Fingers' head. He falls to the ground. Tyrone tries to take the case off him but i t ' shandcuffed to his wrist. So he has little choice but to pick him up and throw him in to the back of the car with the other two.

We cut to the black guys trying to open the case. They have Franky's hand up on a desk and are fiddling with the handcuff, whatever they are trying to break in with snaps off. Vinny is frustrated and illustrates his dissatisfaction.

Vinny turns to Franky who has tape over his eyes.

• VINNY Just tell us the combination.

Pause

Vinny takes it off. Franky blinks at the revelation of light. And gets busy opening the case .

He opens it - and it's got about a grand inside.

40 CONTINUED: .

Vin turns to Sol and Tyrone who is leaning on the big shotgun At which point Franky pulls out the gun from the secret compartment in the case.

Tyrone goes for the big gun and Franky pulls the trigger. Nothing happens other than a big click, there is silence for a long second and the black guys open their tightly shut eyes. :

Tyrone also looks into the case and sees the. open secret compartment: this also reveals the stone.

Boris is admiring the outside of the shop. He walks in.

Franky is tied up on a stool, in front of him is the case and it's open. Boris waves the black guys to come into the corridor so they can talk without being heard.

Sol looks horrified by the thought.

42 CONTINUED:

.. SSOOLL There wasn't any money there. v

Boris pulls out a wad of notes

Vin holds up the stone: the atmosphere changes.

He holds up the diamond. Boris 1eyes follow him as he walks back into the room where Franky is and puts the diamond back into the case while he's talking and changes the combination.

Boris grimaces and pulls out a gun from god knows where, and within a second shoots poor Franky in the face. Franky's body disappears off the stool that he was sitting on. The black guys are stunned into silence.

The black guys are left with their mouths open, everything just changed gear and they weren't expecting that.

The pause continues. Boris lets a shot off that tears worryingly close to Sol's head.

42 CONTINUED:(2.)

Boris appears little bothered by this and whips out a four foot machete that he was concealing about his person. He pulls the case towards him and brings the machete down with full force. We can tell by the expression on Tyrone's face that it must have been some part of Franky's anatomy. Pointing to the ground:

He points to Franky. While he is saying this he bends down and picks up the case from the floor and wraps the severed arm in newspaper. He then walks out of the shop casual as you like.

Turkish pulls up outside his arcade and has a look around: all seems to be clear.

The car surges off round the back.

Turkish has another look around the back

Turkish lets himself in and walks through. Everything seems to be fine. •

44 CONTINUED:

He walks into his office, has a quick look around and makes his way to the safe under the floor. He decides to put the kettle on, does so, and his attention is caught by something, he looks at the cups on the side and sees that one is waiting to be made. He stands back and looks at the cupboards he sees that they are all open. Then he sees that the kettle is already boiled.

Errol shakes his head slowly. Turkish's phone rings. They let it ring for a while.

Turkish does.

Tommy on the phone.

45 CONTINUED:

Turkish puts down the phone

In walks Brick Top before the boys have had a chance to get a grip.

BR,ICK TOP Turkish. Got the kettle on?

Turkish adapts to his new circumstances.

45 CONTINUED: (2)

Pause

There is nothing Turkish can do.

Brick Top exits with Errol and John and grimaces with.the light. He's holding the contents of Turkish's safe.

Brick Top looks round with some concern.

Pause as Errol wants the ground to swallow him up.

FADE OUT:

46 CONTINUED:

FADE TO BLACK:

FADE IN:

The film stock is 1970s, and things seem more dated. This is confirmed by the dress of our man TONY. Tony is standing outside a scrap metal yard and he is kicking the door of a portacabin. . .

He kicks open the door. CHARLIE is standing behind his desk holding a pistol directly at Tony. On the table is a bag of what we must believe is coke, it's open, and Charlie has it all over his nose. .

Charlie opens up, he fires four shots straight into Tony who buckles and falls to the floor. Tony seems only shaken and he holds his hands out to inspect them, he's bleeding.

Tony stands and walks towards Charlie. Charlie is understandably shocked and fires another. It goes straight through Tony and we see the blood hit the wall behind.

4477 CCOONNTTIINNUUEEDD::

Tony keeps going for him. Charlie raises the gun and points it at Tony's face and fires the last shot. The bullet goes straight into his mouth but it went in at an angle and it exits his cheek. Tony is standing there with six. bullet holes in him and bleeding all over the carpet. As he talks blood courses its way down his front and a strong lisp is frustrating the words.

Tony slowly extracts a short sword from behind him. Fear has set into Charlie's face and has rendered him useless.

FADE IN:

The car comes to a halt again.

Cut to a shot of Hands encouraging him to continue.

Susi interrupts.

Doug frowns at Susi, but continues.

48 CONTINUED: . ' ' '.

Turkish and Tommy pull up outside the pikey camp. Micky's Mum is sitting in her chair surrounded by kids.

Tommy has produced a bunch of flowers from somewhere. Turkish finds this a great surprise.

Pause •

49 CONTINUED:

Pause

Tommy shrugs.

50 CONTINUED:

Tommy looks a taken aback by this statement.

Errol is curb crawling down a particularly seedy street in a car with John. They come to a halt, at the feet of some touter.

The man looks a little 'further down the street. Errol follow his eyes, squints and seems to focus on something.

Errol puts on the gas a little-, the car surges forward and slows at the feet of Mullet - seedy looking character with big ears and a moody haircut, who smokes fat cheap cigars and wears his top shirt button fastened.

51 CONTINUED:

Turkish and Tommy have found Micky who is in the middle of a field and is betting on with various dodgy characters.

He pulls out a catalogue on fancy caravans and points to the picture of the Rolls Royce of caravans.

52 CONTINUED: _ -

There is a pause while Micky frowns. Turkish looks a little sheepish.

Turkish considers this, uneasily. He looks at the dogs they look keen and fit.

But he's in. Gypsy Romany Music starts. Cut to slow motion, CU of dogs' enthusiasm, CU of pikeys and their fingers skillfully dealing in money, inhaling cigarettes, etc.

Slow motion. Errol and John are looking for Tyrone.

Slow motion. Cut back to the dogs. The chase starts.

Slow, motion. They see Tyrone, Tyrone starts to run.

5566 EEXXTT..FFIIEELLDD

Slow motion. The hare sees the ,dogs and starts to run.

Slow motion. They bail Tyrone into the back of a car.

Slow motion. The dogs move out in a pincer movement.

Poor Tyrone is bleeding in the boot of a car.

The dogs move in.

They bail Tyrone out of the car and into Brick Top's pub. Brick Top is waiting there. Brick Top asks questions. We can't hear what he's asking, but we can see that Tyrone isn't playing the game.

The dogs are moving in.

A door is opened and Tyrone is thrown in. A rabid Neapolitan mastiff pitbull hybrid that is attached to the end of a long pole with a lasso at the other end is brought in, it will quite clearly savage anything in its way.

The hare gets caught and a pile of fur comes up

The dog bites Tyrone in the leg.

Tyrone shouts in panic, the music breaks, we come out of slow motion and into real time.

The hare escapes the jaws of the dogs and is off.

Turkish is getting into his car. . ..

Tommy frowns

TURKISH-(CONT'D)

work for the faces, and I don't want to be the one that breaks it to you Tommy but you ain't a face. Go on try it.

Tommy sticks the gun out the window and pulls the trigger. Nothing happens.

67 CONTINUED: .

Vin and Sol are trying to wrap Franky's body up. Bad Boy Lincoln has been called in to help.

Brick Top is on the phone and Errol and John sit opposite.

69 CONTINUED:. .

Turkish is on the other end of the phone to Brick Top. Tommy is trying to listen in to what is being said.

He puts the phone down and inhales.

We see Errol outside with a glass cutter. He puts it around the door and creates a circle with the sharp side, pulls it out and puts his hand through to kill the alarm. He's in.

- ERROL You coming John?

71 CONTINUED:

John goes back to the car which is parked down the street. The window slides down.

Vin, Lincoln and Sol are arguing

The interconnecting door opens slowly.

Sol looks at Vin, Vin looks at Lincoln: they are understandably surprised. Brick Top looks around the room the silence continues. Brick Top helps himself to the most comfortable seat.

72 CONTINUED:

Pause while the black guys are still holding the body. The door opens and in walks Errol. He passes Brick Top a cup of tea in a take away container.

He holds up his fist

Pause

Pause

72 CONTINUED: (2)

The door opens and we see John, who is wearing a pair of extremely large plastic gloves, showing Brick Top the shotgu that he has found.

He looks back at the brothers

There is a pause

Brick Top stands and opens the door. We can see that a coupl of ropes have been slung over the rafters and a couple of buckets are underneath them. SIX VERY LARGE MEN (including Errol and John) are standing around wanting to get busy. - Tyrone is with them, all trussed up.

•BULLET TOOTH' TONY is in front of Hands, Rosebud and Doug.

Tony demonstrates an interest in Rose Bud's.

73 CONTINUED:

Hands interrupts

, are there?

Susi reaches for the phone.

The black guys are hanging upside down. Errol and John are now wearing industrial pinnies.

Brick Top considers this, and has a look at Errol who is more than enthusiastic to get on with the job at hand.

74 CONTINUED:

Brick Top again frowns at Errol.

He turns back to the brothers.

He looks at Lincoln.

Pointing to Tyrone.

Hold on..

Brick Top nods at Errol who looks extremely disappointed.

BTT and Hands are driving along. Rose Bud is in the back.

He turns to Rose Bud.

75 CONTINUED:

Tyrone looks desperate. .

He shows his wounds to Sol and Vin.

BTT is in the car with Hands and Rose Bud. The car is parked at the feet of Mullet, who is in discussion with another horrible character. Mullet is extremely nervous about seeing BTT.

: : BTT . : • . • • • • Well what do you know? It's still warm the blood that courses through my veins. Unlike yours Mullet.

Bt.t has a quick look down the street.

77 CONTINUED:

Btt looks at who Mullet is talking to, the man has a try hard mustache and interjects.

Mullet gives the man a furtive kick and makes eyes to shut up. ,

The man moves off

• MULLET

I don't know anything about that Tony.. . ••

Mullet looks uncomfor'table about the fact that he's thinking. j ' • • •

77 CONTINUED: (.2)

Btt turns to Hands.

Hands makes eyes and digs into his back pocket and produces his wallet. BTT takes out some notes and proffers them to Mullet, Mullet nervously reaches forward. As quick as you like Btt has Mullet by the collar and pulls Mullet into the car. He then raises the electric window on Mullet's throat until it has fastened Mullet to the roof of the vehicle.

Mullet has already gone pink.

Btt starts to pull away so Mullet has to keep walking with him.

He does the window up a bit tighter. And grabs him by the nose. He pulls a face when he smells his breath.

He speeds up even more.

Slow down.

77 CONTINUED:( 3 )

BTT turns on the radio. A song comes on that he loves.

He puts his foot down and Mullet loses his footing, and is dragged along. ' .

He points to Mullet. BTT pulls an, 'oh yes I forgot about him1face. He doesn't even look at Mullet. He lowers the window, and Mullet falls by the way, in god knows what condition.

The music continues, and we have a montage of the black guys dealing with Bullet Tooth Tony and Hands as they arrive at the pawn shop. We see the corpse, we see Hands get irate and it looks like it's going to be the end of the black fellas again. The black guys try to whip out the big gun but Tony disarms them and takes the gun off them. The music ends along with the scene when Sol breaks.

78 CONTINUED:

BTT looks familiar with this name.

We cut to the security monitor that observes the shop, it sits on Doug's desk. The door opens and in walks Boris. As bold as brass he walks up to the counter.

Doug picks up the phone to the downstairs shop. Susi picks up the receiver at the other end.

What does that man want?

They are obviously going to move in on the Russian.

Hands and BTT both look at Rose Bud and look relieved for the offer.

Micky is looking at his caravan; it's in flames, real proper roaring flames. People are desperately trying to put the flames out. Micky is covered in dirt from his futile efforts. One of the other pikies who's involved in trying to extinguish the fire turns round and sees Micky standing there motionless. He can see he's upset.

All real sound recedes and we drift in to music. The camera slowly tracks in on Micky. It's hard to read how devastated he is. The camera reaches Micky's face, the reflections of the flames can be seen in his water swollen eyes, but his cheeks remain dry. .

BTT is driving, Hands in the passenger seat and Rose Bud in the back. BTT's got a bleeding eye and his hand is wrapped up in a bandage. Rose Bud is clutching his stomach.

82 CONTINUED: .

Hands looks at Rose Bud who's holding his midsection.

Vin and Sol are going through a selection of keys they have, trying to open the front door.

They find the right key.

I t 'sdark, they flick the switch. They look onto an immaculate pad. Music fades up along with the lights.

The dog goes bounding in.

BTT's car pulls up outside Boris 1 house. BTT and Rosebud pull Boris up in the boot. Tyrone who is hanging about nearb keeping watch, witnesses this. Rosebud places a blade at the Russian's neck.

84 CONTINUED:

BTT looks at the blood that's already starting to pierce the skin from where the blade is pressed against the Russian's neck. BTT then looks at Hands with concern.

Sol and Vin have found the weapons and are tossing them from hand to hand.

Sol's mobile rings.

Sol puts the phone down before he has to hear what Tyrone has to say.

87 CONTINUED: . S7

They shut the dog in the main room and go out of Lincoln's house.

We cut to Vinny and Sol tearing round to Boris's.. They're driving Tyrone's car. As they arrive, Tyrone jumps out in the middle of the road. They screech to a halt, narrowly avoiding squashing Tyrone.

Tyrone pulls a "I tried" face.

SOL . " * Well get in and let's load up.

Vin whips out a gun.

VINNY * Load them up with what? *

TYRONE * What's wrong with them?

VINNY

8 9 CONTINUED:

Tommy and Turkish are looking on to the burned out caravan. . They are in shock. There is a whole gathering of dodgy, angry looking pikies standing around, giving Turkish and Tommy some bad looks.

Darren decides to interject.

Darren's eyes are full of poison. Tommy and Turkish suddenly feel very uncomfortable.

Darren spins on his heel

Turkish and Tommy are driving. Turkish is drinking a pint of"milk (as usual). There is silence for a while.

91 CONTINUED:

He takes a sip of his milk. There's a pause.

TOMMY i You shouldn't drink that stuff any way. \ TURKISH Why, what's wrong with it?

91 CONTINUED: (2)

Turkish looks back at him blankly.

He reaches over and grabs the carton from Turkish, and throws it out the window. The milk obviously hits an on-coming car

Tommy and Turkish come to a standstill, and look back to see a small pile up on the other side of the road.

BTT, Hands and Rose Bud are standing over a safe. They are looking at a whole pile of money. The case is open and Hands is holding the stone.

BTT • What you want to do about the Russian?

Hands, Tony and Rosebud walk out.

The black guys witness this. Tyrone's now in the front seat driving. .

Pause while they consider this.

9944 CCOONNTTIINNUUEEDD::--

BTT's car moves off. The black guys follow.

Pointing to the guns.

' SOL Of course they fuckin fire?

Sol looks at the gun and frowns, "what does he know about replicas"? He pulls the trigger. He fires one shot. It is ----very loud, the gun goes off near Tyrone's ear, he buckles in

ends in disaster, all the windows shatter including the windshield (but the glass stays put). Tyrone regains some control over the car.

VINNY {CONT'D) What the fuck do you think you're doing Sol?

94 CONTINUED: -<2)

He taps Tyrone on the shoulder. Tyrone looks up.

Tyrone spins in his seat and answers a little too loudly.

They crash into the car in front. Boris the Blade comes flying through the windshield.

(This scene runs concurrently with scene 91)

HANDS- . . . . . . . How we going to get rid of him?

95 CONTINUED: -

-HANDS That's a bit cold blooded isn't it?

He points to behind a seat: there is a bloody great sword concealed. Tony skillfully passes the sword to Rose Budd, who attempts to pull it out of its scabbard. Tony turns round to Hands.

He passes Hands a knife.

There is a sudden bang on the windshield and BTT turns back to the front only to see the windshield covered in milk. Tony can't see where he is going and searches for the windshield wipers. While this is happening the car swerves to the side and hits a lamp post. They crash and the boot (trunk) has flown open and Boris the Blade tries to lift himself out. Rose Bud looks down at the sword he has been extracting he can see he very nearly cut himself in two. Tony pulls himself up from the steering wheel he has a trickle of blood running down his face. There's a crash and a car hits em from behind.

They too are recovering from the accident. And Boris has now come headfirst through the windshield.

96 CONTINUED: -

He turns and sees that Rose Bud has got a sword sticking though him. It's gone through him and the seat that he is sitting on.

99 CONTINUED: -

1.01 INT. CAFE

BTT and Hands, covered in blood, walk off the street into a cafe.

He goes out the back while BTT goes to the pay phone to call Doug.

The black guys pile out of the car and follow BTT and Hands at a safe distance.

BTT is on the phone

Tommy and Turkish pull up outside Boris' house.

104 CONTINUED: -

He grabs his groin and circles his finger and his temple

The black guys have followed BTT and Hands and are waiting outside, readying themselves for action. .

SOL ' .

Tyrone.

Tyrone can't hear a thing.

Sol taps Tyrone on the shoulder.

The black guys enter. BTT has just finished his phone call and sat down. . - .

BTT shakes his head in amazement.

106 CONTINUED: -

Tyrone can't hear this request.

He still can't hear him. This is minorly embarrassing.

Sol cocks the gun and Tony pulls a sarcastic 'I am shocked' face.

•p- WNNY . '-- - * ' . - • You're a dead man talking. These are your last words so make them a prayer.

Vinny takes aim.

106 CONTINUED:(2)

Vin goes to hit him with the gun but it's caught by Tony, Vin tries to pull the nose out of Tony's hand but he can't move it. Sol steps forward and raises his gun.

Vinny cocks his gun. There is a pause and eventually Tony lets go of it.

Tony starts to build himself a complicated looking weapon under the table, unseen by the black guys. He takes bits out of one sock and bits out of another sock.

We cut to the shell shocked brothers, and the almost completely built weapon.

They stare on. The brothers have lost this one and they know it. They start to reverse. BTT lets the odd chicken cluck out the corner of his mouth, Vinny misses his step and waves his gun about in a futile effort to look mean. They back away into the corridor down to the back door of the cafe. . . •

...and just as they turn the corner they bump into Hands still drying his hands, they can see that he's carrying a case that they recognize. The brothers adapt to their new sscceennaarriioo::

Hands hesitates.

BTT can hear that the black guys and Hands have run into each other and pulls out the complicated looking gun which is now in one piece. BTT cocks the gun and aims it at the wall which the brothers would be behind, he follows the wall simulating the speed of their journey.

I won't ask again

He raises his gun. A covey of bullets perforates the wall, one hitting Vin in the hand. The brothers take the opportunity to duck. Hands dives for cover too and drops the bag. A continuation of bullets comes flying through the wall. The black guys take the opportunity to pick the bag up and leg it.

I AM AFRAID THAT THIS SCENE HAS TO WAIT UNTIL I HAVE BEEN TO A IRISH TRAVELERS WAKE. I'LL BE ABOUT FOUR MINUTES LONG. IF YOU HAVE ANY IRISH RELATIVES THAT HAVE DIED RECENTLY DON'T HESITATE TO CALL.

The brothers are standing in front of Brick Top, they move uneasily from foot to foot. Brick Top examines the stone. He looks up.

Ill CONTINUED:

They turn and Errol is waiting for them.

They go out of one room into another, and Errol shuts the door behind them. Vin looks uncomfortable. Another door is opened and a man brings out Lincoln. Lincoln is in bad shape and is relieved to see familiar faces, they are now shut in a room .

We look at the table where we see three large kitchen knives sitting provocatively. Tyrone rushes for one of the blades grabs it and runs at Vin, Vin sidesteps and Tyrone keeps running straight into the arms of Errol who raises his gun at the last moment. Tyrone slides the blade into Errol 's ribs and Errol fires a shot straight at Tyrone. The bullet passes through Tyrone and hits John in the throat . Vin, Lincoln and Sol are left wondering what the fuck has just happened .

111 CONTINUED:(2)

BAD BOY LINCOLN , Grab it.

Sol goes for one, and Vin goes for the other.

There is a wake in motion. We cut to Micky and Turkish. It is obvious that a lot of hard core drinking has been going on, and there is an Irish band playing. The is a coffin in the middle of a caravan that is closed for obvious reasons i t ' ssurrounded by heavy looking lads. The is a man dancing on one of the tables.

THIS SCENE I SHALL BE FILLING IN SHORTLY BUT I AM AFRAID YOU HAVE TO WAIT TILL I HAVE BEEN TO A IRISH WAKE. ALL AS I KNOW IS THAT RATHER IRONICALLY THEY ARE FUN. HOWEVER I LIKE JUXTAPOSITIONS OF MICKY SINGING AND CRYING SIMULTANEOUSLY.

All three black guys are sitting in front of BTT and Hands and Doug. There is silence as the white guys have just been told something disturbing. BTT eventually breaks the silence

•HANDS Get us that stone back.

113 CONTINUED:

Cut to Hands who's thinking.

BTT and Hands are at the bar.

Pause: the barman looks truculent.

The barman walks down the end of a bar and picks up the phone.

114 CONTINUED: -

He sticks his finger by the side of his nose and inhales.

KEN, another of Brick Top's men, appears from somewhere and approaches Tony with another heavy, SEAN.

They do and end up in a corridor. The door .shuts behind them and the door in front hasn't yet opened. Ken turns around and faces Tony.

There is a pause. The situation is volatile.

Ken knows it's on.

BTT takes a step forward and puts his hand, into the back of his trousers. He starts to growl.

Pause to take in what has just been said then he continues.

114 CONTINUED: (2)

The door opens and they are interrupted by another HEAVY.

Ken is relieved by the interruption, and he leads the way with a truculent "you're lucky" stare. They enter Brick Top's office.

Interrupted

Btt walks to the bar. Ken is sitting there with Sean.

If you listen carefully, you will hear a slight zip of flies being undone.

BTT • Ohh do me a favour Ken, you've always been mouth and no trousers.

114 CONTINUED:(-3)

We cut back to Brick Top and Hands

BTT returns to them - there is a scream from Ken

Brick top frowns at Ken, and Ken shuts up quickly.

Tony shrugs

Ken shows off a wet-sided jacket and a damp set of trousers.

Tony shrugs. Brick Top puts his hands in to his pocket and withdraws the stone. We cut to Hand's expression.

Brick Top passes the stone to Hands. All goes quiet while everybody focuses on the stone. Hands lifts it up to his eye.

He drops the stone: it smashes on the ground.

We crash track in to Brick Top's expression of shock.

The four black guys are trying to pick the lock of the vault, having been locked in it by Bullet Tooth, Hands and Doug.

The door opens.

A distant voice is shouting

We fade out of black to Micky's pov. Thisis shot in slow motion. Micky opens his eyes, in the backof.a large van, there is only one faint light that moodilyilluminates his tired eyes.

Micky just yawns.

A temporary ring has been erected, four scaffolding posts with welded on hoops make the arena, the ropes that are threaded through the hoops are industrial nylon and free of padding. Around the ropes it's starting to fill. Brick Top approaches Salt Pete and Jack 'the all seeing eye'.

SALT, PETER I hope we gonna get a better show this time.

Brick Top leaves with Ken.

118 CONTINUED:

Cut to a shot of some of Brick Top's heavies waiting in a car outside the campsite.

Brick Top is standing in front of Micky whose eyes are still semi open.

He turns his attention to Micky.

Cut to a shot of Brick Top's boys lighting a cigarette in the car outside the pikies.

Micky appears from a small door at the back of the warehouse. He approaches the ring accompanied with shouts of encouragement and counter shouts. He's wearing a pair of semi cut tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt with grease marks down the front. Turkish walks behind him, Micky still looks bored. He climbs into the ring. Then from the same door as the one through Micky came out walks a larger character with a nose that appears to have seen countless rounds with a frying pan: HORACE 'GOOD NIGHT 1 ANDERSON.

We drift again into Micky's pov, his world is becoming more and more surreal. He can faintly hear Turkish whispering words to him, but he's not really listening. A bell comes from somewhere, and Micky instinctively walks to the center of the ring. "Good night" is already there, they pace one another for a second or two, Micky avoids a punch or two and then he takes a hard one and he knows it, we flash to white, Micky's in trouble: he lets one of his missiles go and BANG it shakes "good night" to his core, all goes quiet. We go to super slow motion: his knees buckle and "good night" is in trouble. Micky maintains a frown as he watches his opponent's knees threaten to betray him. The crowd tries to digest what is happening. After a period of silence reality dawns. Brick Top mouths the words in silence."Don 1t go down you fucker". The crowd wants Micky to finish the job. But common sense reins back the coup de grace. "Good night" eventually regains control of his legs and stumbles forward, after a few sleepy punches he starts to provide a serious onslaught.

This goes on for two rounds (which is montage down to a few seconds). We go in the mind of poor Micky. We break the music just as it's starting to look dangerous... The bell goes and Micky walks to the wrong corner. Turkish pulls him back to his corner.

Micky goes out again his hands are low, BANG there is a flash of white as Micky goes down in the dirt. Dust rises from where he fell. He gets up quickly, his hands are still low, BANG he goes down again, in no time he's up.

120 CONTINUED: -

BANG: he hits the ground again and this time when he hits the deck, he penetrates the dust covered floor, like i t ' s made out of water. He falls through the water like he's sinking; his eyes are open and he can't breathe, he continues to fall, but he's unpanicked (he is now Micky 1). When Micky 1 looks up he can see himself in the corner of the ring takin kidney punches from Good Night, he's winded and only semi- conscious (this is Micky 2). Micky 1 makes the effort to swim up and tries to penetrate the floor but he's stuck he can't get through. Micky 2 takes more punishment in the ring, as Micky 1 ' s hand continues to try to break the underside of the floor but it stretches like rubber and forces Micky 1 down again. Micky 1 looks up again and sees how much trouble Micky 2 ' s in the ring. Micky 1 is panicking now, he's running out of oxygen and Micky 2's being beaten, Micky 1 starts -to sink again but now flames tickle the bottom of his feet he looks up. and sees Micky 2 being smashed to hell, his body eventually collapses and Micky 2 falls through the floor. And as the latter falls through, Micky 1 manages to rise from the depths and his punch manages to perforate the surface. The punch continues its trajectory and has the power to fell a red blooded rhino.... it catches "Good Night" on the jaw and it's good night for "Good Night" it's unlikely that he'll awake in the next hour. Dear oh dear everybody is in trouble.

Again we cut to the reactions of the relevant parties.

Turkish jumps into the ring and grabs Micky.

Turkish pulls Micky away. It's not as hard as it might be trying to get out, because the crowd seems to have found its own disputes, chairs start to fly. Brick Top's boys are frustrated in the mayhem. Brick Top calmly dials into his mobile telephone. It rings.

Darren picks up the phone.

121 CONTINUED:

We pull back to see four slumped heads in the car and blood staining the windscreen. Brick Top calmly puts the phone down.

Brick Top is looking every which way and trying to get out of there, accompanied by Ken.

They come out of a side entrance, their car pulls round the corner and screeches to a halt. Brick Top opens the door as he is about to get in, he's eyes widen to the size of saucers as FOUR MEN (who we recognize from the wake) are sitting in the place of his driver. They both have sawed-off shotguns and empty four barrels into the chest of Brick Top and Ken. The car spins away, leaving their twitching bodies on the dirt.

Hands, Doug and Bullet Tooth have Vin, Sol and Bad Boy Lincol in tow. They look at the front room of Lincoln's house.

They open the door.

This room is a complete mess. All the colony leather has been chewed up beyond recognition. They all grimace at the smell. The dog comes running up

123 CONTINUED: -

BTT opens a window. The dog looks extremely relieved to see someone.

He points to a pile of chewed up cushions.

He walks over and finds the remains of the box.

All eyes focus on the dog.

All eyes focus on Tony.

HANDS

123 CONTINUED: ( 2 )

Tony is not sure about this.

Hands does a movement that represents a knife across the throat.

There is another pause

,BTT What dp I do?

Tony looks positively unsure and rocks his head from side to side.

123 CONTINUED: (-3)

Cut to Tony having some problems trying to get hold of the awkward dog. The dog starts to squeak. Tony passes the blade to Hands.

The dog isn't sure about this either. Vin is in a panic and suddenly.

Hands at the point of entry stops. Vinny hops over to the stone and picks it up. Tony lets the dog stand but keeps a grip oh the collar. The dog is relieved to be semi-liberated. Hands is still on his knees armed with an incredulous stare.

Vinny holds it up. There's a sense of relief. He then throws the stone, it cuts through the air. And the dog seeing

while all now focus again on the dog. This is digested literally and mentally. The dog recognizes all the attention it's receiving. And goes through the motions of swallowing it. Hands attempts an approach. The dog understandably feels uncomfortable about the advancing vanguard and decides emergency action is needed, and seeing the open window launches itself out of it.

FADE UP

The pikies have moved overnight.

124 CONTINUED: -

Hands, BTT and the black guys are back on the road.

Just then they see some caravans in the distance.

All the caravans are fastened to the back of cars. Vinny, Sol, BTT and Hands are standing in front of Micky.

126 CONTINUED:

Vinny, Sol, BTT and Hands descend the steps, they look like children with their toys taken away.

One of Micky's kids is on the bottom of the caravan steps as the brothers walk by.

I looked after your car for ya.

The kid turns away and goes back to squeezing a toy. All four of the chaps stop in their tracks.

Cut to shot of squeaky toy. We have seen this toy before.

Cut to freeze frame of Sol, Vin, BTT and Hands stopped dead in their .tracks. They haven't turned to look over their shoulders yet, but their eyes are turning to look.
