HI-HATZ

Gimme me the strap...

INT. POLICE VAN - THAT MOMENT

believe his eyes. Once again, his entire demeanor

switches.

DENNIS opens the cell door to reveal SAM.

DENNIS:

Sorry about the drivin’, I’m

gettin’ lessons for Christmas.

For a moment SAM’S too scared to move.

SAM:

What were those things?

MOSES:

Not sure, but we’re thinkin’

probably aliens.

DENNIS:

You should leave. Before the

situation gets even more nuts.

MOSES:

Ain’t you gonna thank us for

savin’ your life?

She fixes his eye. Rash courage.

SAM:

My f***ing hero.

SAM moves quickly past them and jumps out of the VAN.

62 INT. UNDERGROUND GARAGES - THAT MOMENT 62

As SAM runs away from the scene, a still cuffed MOSES,

and DENNIS climb out of the van. The rest of the GANG

SKID to a halt around them.

Slowly climbing out of the ruined BMW comes HI-HATZ,

his GUN in hand. MOSES starts to explain.

But PEST steps up and takes over.

PEST:

(fast)

Nah nah nah, trust bruv! There’s

bare creatures chasin’ us! Big

alien gorilla wolf mother

f***ers! I swear! Some creature

fell from out of space then

jumped Moses and he bored it and

now its brethren have come down

in force blood! Then Moses got

shiffed by the feds and them

MOSES:

It was an accident bruv...

things attacked the bully van

and savaged the bluefoot so we

jacked the van and... we’s

running for our lives right now

cuz, believe!

A long silence. TONKS and HI-HATZ do not believe.

HI-HATZ

Jack a bully van, crash it into

my whip, then chat sh*t about

aliens to me?

TONKS:

This is makin’ me nervous blood,

that boy’s still cuffed you

over this...

62 CONTINUED:
62

HI-HATZ ignores TONKS, his attention locked onto MOSES

and DENNIS.

HI-HATZ

You tryin’ to snake me?

HI-HATZ raises his PISTOL. The GANG lift their WEAPONS

in response. HI-HATZ laughs, astonished, outraged.

HI-HATZ

You bringin’ arms to me now? You

tryin’ to murk me? You want war

with me?

PEST:

Listen to me cuz! I’m not even

lyin’! If we was makin’ it up,

don’t you think we’d make up

something better than aliens?

HI-HATZ swings the gun onto PEST, about to lose it

completely.

HI-HATZ

Say that word one more time...

Suddenly, an alien HOWL. HI-HATZ doesn’t flinch. The

GANG take a step back and re-direct their attention.

PEST:

(Pointing)

I told you man! There! On the

roof if you don’t believe me!

TONKS looks. HI-HATZ doesn’t.

HI-HATZ

(goading)

What? What’s on the roof?

PEST:

One of them a...

HI-HATZ

Say it!

PEST:

One of them big gorilla wolf

mother f***ers!

Another HOWL. TONKS retreats, afraid.

TONKS:

Yo Hi-Hatz, there’s something

there bruv...

(2) 62

HI-HATZ turns and looks. Seen from his POV, too far off

to make out much detail:

A SHAPE hangs upside down from a ventilation pipe

across the ceiling. Perfectly still.

Next moment, it drops onto the ground, its landing

obscured by the wrecked BMW.

Everyone simultaneously JUMPS in shock. Everyone except

MOSES and HI-HATZ.

HI-HATZ

(to Tonks)

Go see what that is.

TONKS:

No way bruv!

HI-HATZ swings his pistol onto TONKS.

HI-HATZ

TONKS approaches the rear of the BMW. There’s NOTHING

THERE. Behind him, an open garage door. In the

Move!

TONKS:

Shiiiit...

blackness, two points of GREEN LIGHT appear.

TONKS:

It’s gone bruv...

SUDDENLY:
A CREATURE SLAMS into TONKS, ploughing him at

high speed into a GARAGE DOOR. BOOM!

HI-HATZ and the GANG watch in horror as the huge

SHADOWY CREATURE rips TONKS’ NECK OUT.

HI-HATZ raises his pistol, steps towards the scene,

pumping round after round towards the SHAPE!

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Behind, MOSES surveys their

options. He turns to DENNIS.

MOSES:

Got the key to your lock-up?

DENNIS NODS. At once, MOSES dashes away. The others

follow. The GANG round the far corner and disappear.

HI-HATZ stops firing. GUN-SMOKE clears. The second

CREATURE is dead. As is TONKS. HI-HATZ looks towards

the gang. Sees them GONE.

(3) 62

He strides towards where they were, firing. CLICK!

CLICK! CLICK! If only he had the ammo...

HI-HATZ

Moses! Puss ya! I’m gonna get

you killed blood? You get me?

Watch! Watch!

Another HOWL. Further off. Now HI-HATZ is afraid. He

retreats. SPRINTS towards what’s left of his CAR.

63 INT. GARAGE - THAT MOMENT 63

A pair of metal cutters BITE into MOSES’ CUFFS. DENNIS

operates them. The others bustle around him.

PEST:

I told you man! What did I say?

Alien invasion! London wide! For

police are gonna be here any

minute.

JEROME:

We’re f***ed. When the feds find

them bodies, that van, we are

f***ed!

PEST:

If it’s happenin’ all over then

the feds is gonna be too busy,

know what I’m sayin’?

JEROME:

real! I knew it from the start!

BIGGZ:

Them vans got tracker beacons,

Yeah. National emergency, army

on the street, helicopters, all

of that 28 Days Later sh*t.

SNAP! The CUFFS break. Now MOSES has two big, steel

bracelets. He rubs his wrists.

MOSES:

We gotta get off the street.

Back in the block. Like none of

this happened.

PEST:

Yes boss. Back in the block!

DENNIS:

How we gonna do it with all them

things out there though?

BIGGZ tosses MOSES his CAP. MOSES puts it on.

MOSES:

Fast.

Revealed all around them, crammed into the garage,

DENNIS’ complete collection of PEDS.

64 INT. GARAGE - MOMENTS LATER 64

CLOSE ON:
A TRAINER kick-starts a DIRT BIKE. Back-lit

by a single bulb, the GANG straddle various RIDES.

MOTORS rev and growl. Clouds of EXHAUST rise.

PEST:

You know what man?

MOSES:

MOSES:

What?

PEST:

This is sick.

INT. UNDERGROUND GARAGES - THAT MOMENT

BIGGZ hoists open the garage door. A convoy of vehicles

charge out. DENNIS on his PIZZA PED wearing a bright

CRASH HELMET. MOSES on a DIRT BIKE. PEST on a tiny MINIMOTO.

JEROME on a BMX. BIGGZ hops onto his stunt pegs.

PEST:

I’m shitting myself innit. But

at the same time...

What?

66 EXT. ELEVATED WALKWAYS - THAT MOMENT 66

The GANG speed up a ramp, onto the network of elevated

WALKWAYS. Ahead, on a higher walkway, a CREATURE.

As the GANG race beneath, the CREATURE LEAPS! It FLIES

down towards them, CLAWS outstretched! It lands behind

them, LEAPING forward in their wake.

DENNIS:

They’re on us!

MOSES:

Split! Meet at the block!!

Ahead, a JUNCTION. The GANG DIVIDE: MOSES with DENNIS,

JEROME and BIGGZ with PEST.
