Attack the Block Page #7

---

DENNIS:

Behind the cars, check it!

Over the street, glimpsed between parked cars, the

CREATURE prowls closer sniffing the air.

BIGGZ:

The roof fam, clock that roof!

Another CREATURE scuttles along a rooftop, also heading

towards MOSES’ location.

INT/EXT. POLICE VAN. FRONT - THAT MOMENT

SAM is seen through the window. She notices something

in the WING MIRROR. A large DARK SHAPE crosses the

reflection. She frowns, peers behind, sees NOTHING.

INT/EXT. POLICE VAN. REAR - THAT MOMENT

MOSES sits in the CELL. OFFICER 2 is closing the rear

doors.

OFFICER 2

Not so tough now, are we?

The door SLAMS shut. OFFICER 2 turns around to face:

JAWS! Lunging at him!

45 INT/EXT. POLICE VAN. FRONT - THAT MOMENT 45

OFFICER 1 moves to respond. As he does, something RISES

behind him.

SAM watches in the WING MIRROR as a second CREATURE

dives onto OFFICER 1.

They drop out of sight. A hideous BOOM. The VAN rocks

as something strikes it repeatedly. Then:

BLOOD SPLATTERS across SAM’S window!

46 INT. POLICE VAN - THAT MOMENT 46

SAM desperately LOCKS the DOORS, then throws herselfonto the floor behind the rear seats.

SAM turns and comes face to face with MOSES, only aninch of reinforced perspex between them.

She GASPS in shock!

47 EXT. ESTATE STREET - THAT MOMENT 47

Seen from the gang’s POV, the lonely police van, the

bodies of the two OFFICERS strewn horribly beside it.

BIGGZ (O.S.)

Po-po got savaged!

nowhere near none of that!

One CREATURE CLAMBERS onto the van roof. The other

JUMPS onto the hood. They SNIFF and SNARL, trying to

find a way inside.

EXT. ELEVATED WALKWAY - THAT MOMENT

The GANG watch, elated and terrified.

PEST:

Think fam. Think what scared the

little one.

PEST (O.S.)

Sh*t man! We gotta back Moses!

JEROME (O.S.)

F*** that bruv! I ain’t goin’

DENNIS:

Bangers ain’t gonna do nothing!

PEST:

I ain’t talking about bangers.

PEST pulls off his BACKPACK and tugs it open to reveal

his impressive arsenal of FIREWORKS.

49 INT. POLICE VAN - THAT MOMENT 49

MOSES yells at SAM through the perspex.

MOSES:

Open the door!

He KICKS at the internal door with all his might.

Attack The Block - FINAL SCRIPT (Inc. Reshoots) 10.11.10 37

50 EXT. ELEVATED WALKWAY - THAT MOMENT 50

A trembling hand sparks a ZIPPO to the fuse of a ten

shot ROMAN CANDLE.

DENNIS:

Hold it, hold it steady!

PEST:

I ain’t the one with the shakes,

you hold it steady!

The fuse LIGHTS. Pest HURLS IT towards the POLICE VAN.

It BOUNCES across the tarmac and rolls right UNDERNEATH

the VAN. Then:
VOOOOM!

A multi-coloured MUSHROOM CLOUD erupts!

INT. POLICE VAN - THAT MOMENT

Inside, a barrage of deafening EXPLOSIONS! THICK SMOKE

blanks out the windows.

RED, GREEN and BLUE FLASHES illuminate SAM and MOSES’

faces. SAM is terrified. MOSES is smiling.

EXT. ELEVATED WALKWAY - THAT MOMENT

DENNIS STARTS his moped. Unsheaths his SAMURAI SWORD.

Raises it like a knight about to charge.

DENNIS:

This is for Pogo. Rest in

peace...

He ROARS away down the walkway, towards the huge cloud

of carnival-coloured SMOKE.

The rest of the GANG shoot little SCREAMER ROCKETS

towards the VAN to stoke the SMOKE.

DENNIS comes speeding below rocket trails, into the

conflagration!

53 INT. POLICE VAN - THAT MOMENT 53

DENNIS pulls the side door open, leaps inside, starts

to pull it shut when:

A creature LUNGES down from the roof!

BASH! DENNIS slides the door into its head, sending it

HOWLING backwards! He SLAMS the door shut.

DENNIS:

(to Sam)

S’cuse us...

SAM clambers out of the way. DENNIS pulls open the

internal door, revealing MOSES.

MOSES:

Took your time, man.

MOSES steps out. SAM immediately darts inside the cell

and SLAMS the door.

DENNIS rescues EVIDENCE bags from a BOX behind the

passenger seat. MOSES climbs into the front passenger

seat and sees the KEYS still in the ignition.

DENNIS:

Dumb feds left the keys!

BLUE LIGHTS flashing, sirens BLARING.

It THRUSTS out of the smoke, the force of acceleration

sending the CREATURES TUMBLING onto the tarmac behind!

Falling into place behind the VAN, the rest of the GANG

follow on their bikes; BIGGZ grabs the ped and MOSES’

CAP, then ACCELERATES AWAY.

INT. POLICE VAN. FRONT - THAT MOMENT

DENNIS is at the wheel, MOSES beside him.

EXT. ESTATE STREET - THAT MOMENT

The VAN’S headlights blaze into life within the cloud,

MOSES:

Get off the road. Hit the

underground garages...

56 INT. POLICE VAN. CAGE - THAT MOMENT 56

SAM’S being thrown around in the cell, trying in vain

to find a way to get out. But there isn’t one.

57 EXT. ROAD BESIDE PARK - NIGHT 57

LOUD REGGAE. BREWIS is bopping along the pavement, theBLOCK towering behind him, ear-buds in, singing along.

Attack The Block - FINAL SCRIPT (Inc. Reshoots) 10.11.10 39

57 CONTINUED:
57

BREWIS:

(sings)

...in the streets it’s getting

hot, and the youth dem-a-get so

co-oh-old...

He takes out his KEY FOB, points and PRESSES. He tugs

out his ear-buds.

HORROR breaks on his face.

BREWIS (CONT’D)

Oh sh*t.

A few yards ahead; the WRECK of his dad’s Volvo S60.

BREWIS:

...f*** f*** f*** f***...

He pulls out his phone. Dials quickly. He hears a

SIREN. BLUE LIGHT FLASHES across his face. He looks up.

It’s the POLICE VAN! He throws himself behind a nearby

BUSH.

BREWIS:

(into phone)

Yo Ron, it’s Brewis. Someone’s

totally f***ed up my dad’s car

and there’s po-po everywhere. Is

it OK if I come back up?

EXT:
RAMP TO UNDERGROUND GARAGES - MOMENTS LATER

The POLICE VAN comes hurtling down a RAMP. It skids

wildly into the UNDERGROUND GARAGES.

The entrance is a little too low. As the VAN shoots

57A

57A

inside, its lights are RIPPED OFF.

58

INT. UNDERGROUND GARAGES - THAT MOMENT 58

The VAN speeds into the UNDERGROUND GARAGES. It leans

into a wild SKID as it negotiates an immediate corner.

Suddenly, coming right at it, a sleek BMW! BLAM! The

two vehicles collide!

The engines of both VEHICLES are crushed, collapsed and

belching smoke.

59

INT. POLICE VAN. FRONT - THAT MOMENT 59

DENNIS and MOSES gather themselves.

Attack The Block - FINAL SCRIPT (Inc. Reshoots) 10.11.10 40

59 CONTINUED:
59

MOSES:

This is a bad dream. Tell me I’m

dreamin’...

THUMPING from behind them. SAM, hammering on the inside

of her cell.

SAM (O.S.)

Let me out! Open the door!

MOSES and DENNIS exchange a look.

60 INT. HI-HATZ' CAR - THAT MOMENT 60

HI-HATZ starts to REVERSE away, but his beloved BMW can

only crawl, grind and belch SMOKE.

HI-HATZ

Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t...

TONKS looks closely at the cab of the POLICE VAN.

TONKS:

HI-HATZ slams on the brakes. Looks ahead too. Can’t

Wait blood, that ain’t even

police at the wheel, that’s

youths in there!
