129 INT. LOBBY - NIGHT

The lift doors PING open. Revealed; MOSES holding his

SAMURAI SWORD. Around his ankles; the combined remains

of BEATS, PATRICK and the CREATURE. Facing MOSES:

The POLICE. Six helmeted, masked officers with machine

guns trained at the lift.

POLICE:

Put down the weapon! Raise your

hands! Kneel down!

MOSES SIGHS. He lets his SWORD clatter to the floor.

EXT. ESTATE PERIMETER - MOMENTS LATER

POLICE and RESIDENTS are spilling out of the BLOCK,

most still in their pyjamas. Amongst them, manhandled

by ARMED OFFICERS, come BREWIS, PEST & RON.

OFFICER 1

Don’t resist! Do not resist!

PEST:

I ain’t resistin’ you prick!

You’re pushin’ me over!

RON is black with soot, coughing and stumbling along on

the arm of HELMETED POLICEMAN.

RON:

Watch it mate, I’m registered

disabled you know! I’ll take

your bloody shoulder number.

BREWIS is shocked at how firm the police are being.

BREWIS:

F***ing hell! What are you

doing?!? That really hurts!

My dad’s a journalist!

Just as they exit the tunnel which leads out of the low-

rises, MOSES is lead past them. PEST shouts for joy.

PEST:

Moses blew them all up! He

saved the planet from a alien

invasion! He’s a hero! He’s a

legend!

PEST’S shouts are heard by the CROWD that has gathered,

marshalled by POLICE, surrounded by EMERGENCY VEHICLES.

TIA tries to run to MOSES but OFFICERS grab her and

haul her back. She struggles, SHOUTS out to MOSES.

TIA:

Moses! We’ll get you help! Call

MOSES looks at her and smiles as he’s lead past. BIGGZ

me, you hear me? Call me!

BIGGZ:

This is the block! The B-L-O-C-K

block! No one fucks with the

block, get me?

PROBS, MAYHEM, BIGGZ, DIONNE, GLORIA, TIA, DIMPLES,

ROXANNE and BUBBLES as well as other kids THROUGHOUT

the CROWD join in the proud, riotous chorus:

ALL:

Brrrap! Brrap! Brraap!

SAM is lead through the crowd by a CONSTABLE. They

arrive at a SUPERINTENDENT.

CONSTABLE:

Sir? This is Samantha Adams, the

lady that called in the mugging.

SUPERINTENDENT:

Miss Adams, I believe you were

with two of my officers earlier

tonight. You know they lost

their lives?

SAM:

Yeah. I was there. We were

attacked. Those boys over there,

the ones you’re arresting...

She points over towards PEST and MOSES being locked in

the back of the van. She hesitates a moment.

CONSTABLE:

Can you confirm it was them?

SUPERINTENDENT:

Don’t let them intimidate you

miss...

SAM:

No. I know them. They’re my

neighbours. They protected me.

CONSTABLE:

SUPERINTENDENT:

Protected you from what?

You sure?

SAM:

I’ll show you.

BIGGZ watches PEST and MOSES being bundled into the

police van.

Yo, Moses saved the block! He

took them all out! He saved the

B-L-O-C-K!
