MOSES:

Bell me when you get there.

SAM:

She thinks I can’t look after

myself.

MOSES:

Next time she calls, let me

speak to her.

He turns to PEST.

MOSES:

Gimme that ring.

PEST:

What ring man?

MOSES shoots him a look.

PEST:

Aw man, that’s ours! Worth bare

P’s! Rasclat...

PEST gives the ring to MOSES. MOSES looks at it.

MOSES:

It ain’t worth nothing, right?

SAM:

Not money. It was my grandma’s.

MOSES makes like he’s lost interest.

MOSES hands SAM the ring.

SAM:

Thanks.

if you make it, how are you

going to get out?

MOSES lowers his eyes. He has no answer.

SAM (CONT’D)

You don’t have to do this Moses.

MOSES:

Yeah I do.

EXT. RON’S FLAT. FRONT ROOM - MOMENTS LATER

MOSES:

You’re too brave you know.

SAM:

Even if you out-run them, even

The door opens a crack and out comes SAM. She steps

away from the door, her back to the wall.

The closest CREATURES catch a whiff of scent from the

weed room. They LUNGE! The door’s yanked SHUT.

They SLAM against steel, right BESIDE SAM! The

remaining CREATURES stalk and tussle, agitated.

SAM surveys the room. It is TEEMING with creatures.

Like horrible rats, scratching and tussling.

Slowly, she begins to creep across the room towards the

FRONT DOOR. She looks through the SPY-HOLE:

The distorted view shows FOUR MORE CREATURES prowling

the corridor outside, sniffing and nosing at the door.

SAM swings the door open, hiding herself behind it. The

CREATURES jostle inside like cattle. SAM creeps around

the door and exits.

113 INT. CORRIDOR - MOMENTS LATER 113

SAM jogs nervously towards a familiar FRONT DOOR.

Number one-nine-one. She puts the key in the lock.

She pushes the door open, steps inside and SLAMS thedoor shut behind her, just as MOSES did before.

114 INT. WEED ROOM/MOSES’ FLAT - THAT MOMENT 114

CLOSE on MOSES as he answers his MOBILE. We see onlythe side of his face as he talks to SAM.

SAM (O.S.)

You’re sure there’s no-one else

MOSES:

INT. MOSES’ FLAT. FRONT ROOM - THAT MOMENT

SAM wanders into the FRONT ROOM. Someone seems to be

here?

Yeah.

using it as a bedroom. There’s CLOTHES and FAST FOOD

PACKAGING everywhere.

On a shelf, a dusty FRAMED PHOTO of MOSES, aged about

six, in his school uniform, smiling innocently.

SAM:

Who do you live with?

MOSES (O.S.)

Just my uncle.

SAM:

Where’s he?

MOSES (O.S.)

Comes and goes...

116 INT. WEED ROOM - THAT MOMENT 116

Back to MOSES. Eyes hidden beneath the brim of his

baseball cap. PEST tips his remaining fireworks onto

the floor:

Three little ROCKETS and a handful of BANGERS.

MOSES:

...goes mostly.

117 INT. MOSES’ FLAT. CORRIDOR - THAT MOMENT 117

SAM opens a door. Behind; a CHILD’S BEDROOM. There are

WRESTLING POSTERS on the wall. A TV and GAMES CONSOLE.

A BOX of ACTION FIGURES and a SUPER-HERO BEDSPREAD.

Everything looks dusty and long unused.

SAM:

How old are you?

MOSES (O.S.)

Fourteen.

SAM takes this in.

SAM (O.S.)

You look older.

INT. WEED ROOM - THAT MOMENT

Back to MOSES. BREWIS has strapped the CARCASS onto the

BACKPACK, and now lifts it onto MOSES’ shoulders.

MOSES:

Thanks.

INT. MOSES’S FLAT. KITCHEN - THAT MOMENT

SAM enters the KITCHEN. It’s clean but unused and bare.

More FAST FOOD cartons are strewn around.

MOSES (O.S.)

Pull the hatch shut. Lock the

window. Leave the door on the

latch.

SAM twists all the GAS KNOBS on. Opens the STOVE. Pulls

the window shut. SLAMS the kitchen door behind her.

120 INT. CORRIDOR - MOMENTS LATER 120

SAM exits MOSES’ FLAT, leaving the door very slightly

open and runs down the corridor.

SAM:

(into phone)

Good luck Moses.

INT. RON’S FLAT. WEED ROOM - MOMENTS LATER 121

CLOSE on MOSES:

MOSES:

(into phone)

Later.

He rings off. We PULL OUT to reveal MOSES’ HERO SHOT:

In vest and jeans. The CARCASS strapped to his back.

Broken CUFFS on his wrists. ROCKET in one hand. SAMURAI

SWORD in the other. SCARS across one cheek. PEST grins

wildly.

PEST:

Moses versus the monsters!

You’re Will Smith man!

MOSES:

(dismissive)

Yeah, yeah, yeah... allow it.

INT. RON’S FLAT. FRONT ROOM - MOMENTS LATER

The following is in SLOW MOTION.

ROCKETS come shooting out from the WEED ROOM.

They RICOCHET and EXPLODE around the room, sending the

CREATURES scurrying wildly.

Now, leaping out of the door, MOSES!

He bounds over the CREATURES, onto the couch, onto the

coffee table, then towards the open door.

On his back, the CARCASS, flailing above the CREATURES

as they twist and lunge at it!

123

INT. CORRIDOR - THAT MOMENT 123

A cloud of smoke billows from RON’S open front door.

Out of it comes MOSES. Then, right behind him, a

writhing mass of leaping CREATURES!

124

INT. STAIRWELL - THAT MOMENT 124

MOSES leaps down the stairs. Turns a corner. Right on

his tail, the aliens SURGE.

Attack The Block - FINAL SCRIPT (Inc. Reshoots) 10.11.10 91

125

INT. CORRIDOR - THAT MOMENT 125

MOSES SPRINTS. The tide of creatures GALLOPS behind

him. Giant monster greyhounds chasing an alien hare.

Claws SWIPE at MOSES’ feet! Jaws SNAP at his heels! A

CLAW snags his sneaker, TUGS it off!

The door to his flat is ahead. MOSES pulls off the

CARCASS, tucks it under his arm.

126

INT. MOSES’ FLAT - THAT MOMENT 126

The SLOW MOTION ends.

MOSES skids inside. KICKS open the kitchen door. THROWS

the CARCASS inside. LEAPS towards the FRONT ROOM.

The CREATURES surge inside, skid towards the kitchen,

pile inside mindlessly.

MOSES bursts into the FRONT ROOM, throws open the

SERVING HATCH. DIVES behind the BALCONY DOOR.

He lights a rocket. Aims at the HATCH. VOOOOM! The

rocket launches.

EXT. ESTATE PERIMETER - THAT MOMENT

Seen from the ground. A corner flat, two floors down

from the top, EXPLODES.

On the walkway below, SAM backs towards the POLICE

CORDON, head turned upwards.

On the BLOCK above, MOSES’ small figure, dangling from

the balcony beneath his own, clinging to a UNION JACK.

SAM:

(to herself)

Go Moses...

TIA, DIONNE, DIMPLES and GLORIA watch too. They GASP

and YELL as they watch MOSES trying to survive.

DIONNE:

Moses!

CLOSE on TIA as she stares up, awed. High above, like a

distant mountaineer, MOSES swings himself onto the

closest balcony.

128 INT. CORRIDOR. NINETEENTH FLOOR - NIGHT 128

PEST and BREWIS stumble down a smoke filled corridor.

Ahead, looming towards them, dark SHAPES.

MACHINE GUNS and HELMETS loom out of the smoke, along

with AGGRESSIVE SHOUTS.

POLICE:

On the floor! Get down! Down!

POLICE SWAMP them, pinning them down and cuffing them.

PEST:

What the f*** are you doin’? We

didn’t do nothing man!

PEST’S face is PUSHED into the floor.
