DENNIS:

Pogo, come!

DENNIS whistles for his dog. A small, excited STAFF

TERRIER bounds up to him. DENNIS grabs a lead.

A WAR PARTY races out of the LOW-RISES.

MOSES and JEROME ride Mountain bikes. BIGGZ rides

JEROME’S stunt pegs. PEST rides his TINY BIKE. DENNIS

rides a PIZZA DELIVERY MOPED, POGO sitting in the box

on the back. They pull triumphant WHEELIES.

PROBS and MAYHEM come dashing after them trying their

best to keep up, but failing.

36 EXT. ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND - MOMENTS LATER 36

There’s something on the grass ahead. Fragments of a

BOULDER about a meter high. Smouldering, glowing.

The GANG approach. POGO immediately hops off DENNIS’

bike and runs towards the METEOR.

MOSES:

I told you fam...

PEST:

A meteor, for real.

DENNIS:

Loads came down innit!

BIGGZ:

We gotta take ‘em all out! Gotta

catch ‘em all!

PEST:

Calm down Biggz, this ain’t

Pokémon.

MOSES approaches the METEOR. It has split in two,

revealing a large hollow IMPRINT on the inside.

MOSES:

Yo. Shine the light...

DENNIS wheels his ped closer. The head-light shines

across the IMPRINT, which describes what was once in

the meteor. A MUCH LARGER CREATURE, in a foetal coil.

DENNIS:

Like a fossil innit...

JEROME:

That’s different. That ain’t

even the same thing.

BIGGZ:

That looks triple the size.

The roving light picks out particular DETAILS. CLAWS

like scimitar blades. TEETH like kitchen knives.

JEROME:

I’d like to see the brother

that’s gonna fight that.

DENNIS:

Call my cousin. Tell him to

bring the strap.

The GANG stand up. Start to back away, fear creeping up

on them. MOSES holds his ground.

BIGGZ:

I’m not even gonna lie fam.

Right now I feel like ghostin’.

Go home, lock my door and play

Fifa.

Suddenly, an other-worldly WAIL from nearby. POGO BARKS

CRAZILY and RACES towards it, into darkness.

DENNIS:

Oi, Pogo! Stay!

JEROME:

What was that?

MOSES scans the gloom for the source of the noise, and

sees a SILHOUETTE on top of the tallest wooden tower.

MOSES:

There.

He points to the shape of a large CREATURE. Hard to

make out exactly what. But it’s BIG and ALIVE.

DENNIS:

Holy f***.

BIGGZ:

On top of the tower.

JEROME:

Which tower?

DENNIS:

Ain’t you got your contacts in

bruv? Look!

PEST:

I am too high for this sh*t.

JEROME:

Where fam? Where?

JEROME puts on his GLASSES. Looks. POGO can be heard

barking in the distance.

In response, the shape LEAPS out of sight.

Now the horrible sound of POGO being wrestled and

RIPPED TO PIECES.

PEST:

I think it ate your dog, dog.

DENNIS:

Pogo! Pogo!!!

In reply comes a baleful alien HOWL. A pair of glowing

GREEN EYES approach in the darkness.

MOSES:

It’s coming.

DENNIS:

I can see its eyes!

The EYES slowly lengthen, taking the shape of INCISORS,

which separate to reveal PHOSPHORESCENT JAWS.

MOSES:

Not sure them things is eyes.

The CREATURE is exactly as dark as the darkness around

it. Its form is indiscernible. It’s closing FAST.

DENNIS:

Let’s bounce bruv...

BIGGZ:

I’m gone fam...

The GANG grab their RIDES.

EXT. PARK LAND - CONTINUOUS

PROBS and MAYHEM run across the PARK, little lights in

MAYHEM’S SHOES flashing as his feet hit the ground.

Here comes the GANG, straight towards them. They race

between them, shouting out warnings:

BIGGZ:

Aliens! Run!

PEST:

Leave! Leave! Leave!

PROBS and MAYHEM STARE as the GANG recedes into the

gloom. A moment later, they’re ALONE again.

PROBS:

He say ‘aliens?’

MAYHEM:

That’s what I heard man.

They CRACK UP, high pitched and innocent. Then -- a

ROAR. Ahead in the gloom, something CHARGES at them!

38 EXT. ESTATE STREET - THAT MOMENT 38

The GANG comes SPEEDING out of the PARK, bumping across

the pavement and skidding out onto the ROAD.

They don’t notice a VAN crawling along some way behind

them -- until its BLUE LIGHTS begin to FLASH.

MOSES:

Bully van!

Coming hard on their tail -- the POLICE VAN!

As one, the GANG TUG THE STRINGS ON THEIR HOODS,

instantly CLOSING them up to conceal their faces.

MOSES pumps his pedals, but BIGGZ’ weight is too much.

JEROME, DENNIS and PEST overtake him easily.

The POLICE VAN bears down, dangerously close to the

back wheel of MOSES’ bike.

BIGGZ LEAPS off, sprints away. MOSES wobbles, loses his

balance, CRASHES to the ground.

The POLICE VAN BREAKS HARD, doors are thrown open, TWO

OFFICERS LEAP out -

OFFICER 1

Get down!!!

OFFICER 2

the ground, throwing on CUFFS.

EXT. ELEVATED WALKWAY - THAT MOMENT

The remaining GANG converge on a nearby walkway

overlooking the street below.

PEST:

F*** the five-o!

DENNIS has to physically yank PEST out of sight.

DENNIS:

Stay down, stay down...

JEROME:

Calm, calm, calm...

They peek over the walkway wall and watch.

40 EXT. ESTATE STREET - THAT MOMENT 40

MOSES is back on his feet. The OFFICERS search him,

removing SAM’S PHONE, then his KNIFE and the WRAPS.

An unholy cross between a gorilla, a wolf and something

completely alien. The OFFICERS see nothing.

OFFICER 2

He said do you understand?

MOSES:

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

MOSES:

41 INT. POLICE VAN - MOMENTS LATER 41

OFFICER 1 slides open the side door to reveal a very

nervous SAM sitting in the passenger seat.

OFFICER 1

You’re sure that’s him?

SAM:

Positive. And the rest of them

are up on that walkway. You know

that, don’t you?

OFFICER 1

Don’t worry Samantha,

everything’s under control.

42 EXT. ELEVATED WALKWAY - THAT MOMENT 42

The GANG watch as OFFICER 2 opens the back doors of the

van and bundles MOSES into the small CELL.

SAM is simultaneously moved into the front passenger

seat. Then DENNIS spots something:
