HI-HATZ

Then some like big like dog,

some big gorilla wolf mother

f***er comes down from the roof,

rolls Tonks, tears his neck all

the way out, believe!

PATRICK and BEATS do not believe. They sit timidly in

the back, either side of an empty baby seat.

PATRICK:

So... was it a dog then?

HI-HATZ

Don’t give a f*** what it was.

Shot that thing. Died easy. We

gotta learn them youngers

tonight, get me? That block’s

mine.

HI-HATZ accelerates aggressively. Turns on the STEREO.

Starts to RAP angrily.

HI-HATZ (CONT’D)

Get that snitch, get that strap,

Don’t give a f***, blat, blat,

blat!

PATRICK and BEATS exchange a nervous look. BEATS plugs

in his safety belt.

Looming ahead - the BLOCK.

INT. STAIRWELL - MOMENTS LATER

CLOSE on a HAND holding a KNIFE. WIDER: It’s SAM’S

HAND. She’s with the GANG, jogging up a STAIRWELL.

PEST:

Get four years for carryin’ an

offensive weapon you know.

SAM:

I think this situation’s kind of

exceptional.

PEST:

Is it? Walkin’ around expectin’

to get jumped any moment? Feels

like just another day in the

ends to me.

SAM:

Where’s he taking us?

JEROME:

Tia’s.

SAM:

What makes you think we’ll be

safer in her place than we were

in mine?

JEROME:

Security gate.

MOSES addresses SAM without looking at her.

MOSES:

You wouldn’t be askin’ that

question if you’d seen them

girls fight.

DENNIS’ PHONE FLASHES in his pocket. He plucks it out

and cracks a smile.

DENNIS:

(into phone)

Biggz bruv! We thought you was

dead bruv! Where you at?

INT. MUNICIPAL BIN - THAT MOMENT

BIGGZ sits in TOTAL DARKNESS, his furious face

illuminated only by his mobile phone.

BIGGZ:

I called you fifty times blood!

Why’s your phone on silent at a

time like this!?! I’m in the

bin! Same bin I was in that time

them boys from Aylesbury was

after me.

BOOM! The bin’s rocked by something impacting the

outside heavily.

BIGGZ:

One of them things is tryin’ to

head-bang me out. Come rescue

me, yeah?

80 INT. STAIRWELL - THAT MOMENT 80

Back to DENNIS and the GANG:

DENNIS:

(into phone)

Ain’t that simple bruv.

(MORE)

DENNIS (CONT'D)

Them things are in the block,

bustin’ through doors. You got

the only credit. Call everybody

bruv, spread the word, tell them

to stay inside, get me? I’ll

bell you back when we get to

Tia’s.

81 INT. MUNICIPAL BIN - THAT MOMENT 81

BOOM! Another massive impact. BIGGZ drops his phone.

It’s now PITCH DARK.

BIGGZ:

Sh*t! There’s nappies in here

man! This is pissing me off!

INT. CORRIDOR - THAT MOMENT

A pair of FLASHING TRAINERS and a foldaway SCOOTER

speed along a corridor and skid to a halt. PROBS and

MAYHEM find themselves face to face with the GANG.

PEST:

Check it! Reginald and Gavin

survived!

PROBS:

Don’t answer to them names no

more. It’s Probs and Mayhem.

MAYHEM:

Fam, we saw the aliens! They ran

straight past us! We got tools!

PROBS lifts a big SUPER SOAKER. Mayhem a PISTOL.

PROBS:

Let us roll with you man!

SAM:

That’s not real is it? Jesus,

they look about six years old...

MAYHEM:

I’m nine and a half!

DENNIS:

That ain’t no toy, Reginald.

Give me that...

DENNIS tries to grab the pistol but MAYHEM won’t let

go. A dangerous STRUGGLE ensues. The gun swings around

wildly. Everyone ducks. DENNIS pulls it free.

82 CONTINUED:

PROBS and MAYHEM YELL in protest, only stopping when

they hear:

MOSES:

Yo. Probs and Mayhem.

They look to MOSES, awed.

MOSES:

Go home and lock the door.

Do your homework. Watch Naruto.

Play Fifa. Just stay inside

tonight, get me?

MOSES pushes past. The GANG follow, shouting back over

their shoulders.

MAYHEM:

That’s my cousin’s! I gotta give

it back!

PEST:

You think they’re gonna die if

you shoot water at them?

PROBS:

(quietly)

Ain’t water in it, innt?

EXT. TIA’S FLAT. DOORWAY - MOMENTS LATER

DIMPLES stands behind a closed steel SECURITY GATE.

DENNIS:

Stop bitchin’, you got a Super

Soaker still.

Gathered in the corridor beyond, awaiting permission to

enter, the GANG and SAM. DIMPLES surveys them.

DIMPLES:

You ain’t bringin’ all them

people in here! No! They’re

involved in somethin’! Someone’s

chasin’ them! They got weapons

and look, that one’s bleedin’,

and that woman, I don’t even

know that woman! I’m not gettin’

myself involved in a situation I

don’t need to be in.

TIA appears behind DIMPLES.

TIA:

It’s my house Dimples.

She pulls open the GATE.

TIA:

(to the gang)

Come...

84 INT. TIA’S FLAT - NIGHT 84

There’s a good view of the surrounding streets from

here on the tenth floor. A HELICOPTER hovers nearby.

The LIGHTS of multiple EMERGENCY VEHICLES FLASH.

PEST (O.S.)

There’s one helicopter out

there. Copper chopper. Ain’t

even military. And it’s just

around this ends man.

The other KIDS are slouched around the room. GLORIA

styles DENNIS’ hair. TIA cleans MOSES' wound. PEST

slumps down beside them and starts skinning up.

localised.

GLORIA:

Yeah, localised in your head.

DIONNE:

Localised in your dreams.

GLORIA:

You are so stupid with your

stupid stories of stupidness.

DIMPLES:

Drapsed by the feds? Yes. Big

PEST:

This ain’t London-wide. This is

gorilla alien wolf monsters

killin’ everyone? Uh-uh.

SAM sits in the corner, taking it all in.

JEROME:

Maybe they only fell on these

ends.

DIMPLES:

Please? What kind of alien, out

of all the places in the whole

wide world, would invade some

shitty council estate in South

London?

DENNIS:

One that’s lookin’ for a fight.

Attack The Block - FINAL SCRIPT (Inc. Reshoots) 10.11.10 63

84 CONTINUED:

PEST:

They’re out there for real,

they’re comin’ for us.

DIMPLES:

(sings)

I can feel it, comin’ in the air

tonight...

The girls collapse in LAUGHTER.

SAM:

Excuse me.

They don’t hear. She STANDS.

SAM:

Listen to me!

The LAUGHTER stops. They all turn and stare at SAM as

if they’ve only just noticed she’s there.

SAM:

There’s a dead one in my living

room. I live on the first floor.

You can walk right in, there’s

no front door anymore. Go and

look if you don’t believe me.

DIMPLES:

Moses? When did you start going

out with your maths teacher?

The other girls LAUGH. TIA doesn’t.

TIA:

(to Moses)

How do you know that woman?

SAM:

We met earlier. He mugged me.

DIONNE:

Woy! For real?

DIMPLES:

That part I believe.

TIA ignores her. Turns to MOSES.

TIA:

That true? You rob that woman?
