Attack the Block Page #9

---

PEST races his MINI-MOTO towards a metal BARRIER. He

hugs his body to his bike. Speeds right beneath it.

JEROME and BIGGZ approach. BIGGZ jumps off the stunt

pegs and HURDLES it cleanly.

JEROME skids the bike to a halt, picks it up, and

hastily weaves through on foot.

MOSES and DENNIS approach a steep downward concrete

steps. The dirt bike bumps down at speed.

But DENNIS’ ped can’t take it. It topples and DENNIS is

thrown off, hitting the ground rolling.

MOSES skids to a halt, turns. Sees DENNIS scurrying to

right his ped as:

A CREATURE prowls from the shadows towards him! DENNIS

scrambles to his feet, jumps on the ped.

The creature LEAPS! As the ped pulls away it JUST FALLS

JEROME and BIGGZ ride towards upward concrete STEPS.

BIGGZ jumps off, RUNS up, quick as a flash.

SHORT!

BIGGZ turns back to see JEROME, struggling to carry the

BMX up the steps. Just then:

A CREATURE emerges right BETWEEN THEM. It turns towards

JEROME. JEROME falls backwards down the steps.

BIGGZ RUNS in the opposite direction. The CREATURE

pursues BIGGZ. BIGGZ sprints!

Up ahead, that perilous JUMP between walkways that he

considered trying earlier. No choice now.

He JUMPS! Flies towards the next walkway, landing fair

and firm. He flashes a brief SMILE. One look behind him

and it vanishes. He LEAPS away, just as:

A CREATURE lands in the exact same spot. It slams into

the walkway wall, rights itself, springs into pursuit.

BIGGZ leaps a wall. Slides down the roof of a parked

VAN. Sees those three MUNICIPAL RECYCLING BINS ahead.

GLASS. PAPER. CANS. He throws open PAPER. VAULTS

inside.

MOSES zooms towards a downward staircase. He revs HARD,

JUMPS the steps, landing HEAVY but steady.

PEST GUNS his MINI-MOTO towards the same steps. He

JUMPS! And lands horribly HARD, crushing his ride

beneath him.

PEST:

My nuuuuts!

He scurries to right the little bike, revs it, but it’s

BUSTED. Looks up to see -- a CREATURE coming at him!

He picks up the bike, lifts it over his head and HURLS

it at the CREATURE.

PEST (CONT’D)

Raaasclaaat!

DIRECT HIT! The CREATURE tumbles backwards. PEST RUNS

for his life.

EXT. ENTRANCE WALKWAY - MOMENTS LATER

MOSES speeds along the final stretch of walkway leading

to the BLOCK. He dismounts and YANKS OPEN THE DOOR,

just in time for DENNIS to speed inside.

LOBBY - THAT MOMENT

DENNIS jumps off his ped, letting it crash into the

wall, and races towards the LIFTS.

HE hammers on the call button. Both readouts are

displaying an UP ARROW.

MOSES:

Stairs blood!

69 INT.

MOSES pulls the FRONT DOOR open to let JEROME come

skidding in on his BMX.

DENNIS:

Where’s Biggz at, where’s

Pest?!?

MOSES peers through the FRONT-DOOR WINDOWS. DENNIS and

JEROME join him. They peer out to see:

70 EXT. ELEVATED WALKWAYS - THAT MOMENT 70

PEST, sprinting with his bat in hand, a CREATURE

galloping behind him, catching up by the second!

Attack The Block - FINAL SCRIPT (Inc. Reshoots) 10.11.10 48

71 INT. LOBBY - THAT MOMENT 71

PEST hurtles inside. The GANG throw themselves against

the door, closing it just before:

BOOM! The CREATURE impacts with SHOCKING FORCE! It

punches the lower corner of the door CLEAN AWAY!

The GANG are THROWN BACK! PEST falls! The CREATURE’S

SNOUT DARTS through the gap. JAWS clamp around his LEG!

He SCREAMS in AGONY.

PEST SCREAMS. He swings his BASEBALL BAT. THWACKS the

CREATURE’S HEAD. It releases him, HOWLS and RETREATS.

JEROME and DENNIS drag PEST towards the STAIRWELL,

MOSES following. His leg draws a bloody trail.

As the GANG run up the stairs the front door SHATTERS

INWARDS and the CREATURE TUMBLES inside.

INT. FIRST FLOOR CORRIDOR - THAT MOMENT

her front door. Her hands

SAM’S putting her key into

are still TREMBLING. She hears a COMMOTION. Looks up.

Sees the GANG, rushing towards her! She pulls open her

front door, terrified.

INT. SAM’S FLAT - THAT MOMENT

Before SAM can close the door MOSES’ foot JAMS it! The

force of the GANG throws her back and they push inside.

SAM darts into the FRONT ROOM. Looks around desperately

for something to defend herself with.

The GANG spill inside, setting PEST down on the sofa

then simultaneously pulling out their MOBILES.

MOSES:

Somebody bell Biggz.

JEROME:

I got one text left!

DENNIS:

I got no credit. Nuttin’.

PEST:

Drop call everybody fam, pray

someone calls back...

JEROME:

This is too much madness to

explain in one text!

Then, SAM’S VOICE SHOUTS:

SAM (O.S.)

GET OUT OF MY F***ING FLAT!!!

The GANG turn to see she’s brandishing a guitar like an

axe.

SAM:

I SAID GET OUT!!!

MOSES talks to her without eye contact.

MOSES:

Yo snitch, calm yourself. This

ain’t about you no more, get me?

block down!

JEROME:

There’s worse things out there

to be scared of than us tonight,

trust.

DENNIS:

Bruv! I saw her ID card thingy!

She’s a nurse innit!

PEST:

Help me then! I need this leg, I

need it to be able to run from

SAM:

If you come anywhere near me I

swear I’ll scream this f***ing

those things!

SAM is aghast.

SAM:

You think I’m going to help you?

After you attacked me, robbed

me, set those dogs on the

police?

DENNIS:

Yes to the first two, no to the

last one.

PEST:

Dogs? Dogs with glow in the dark

jaws? Dogs with no eyes? Dogs

the size of gorillas?

PEST (CONT'D)

You think them things is dogs,

go out there and try feedin’

them some Pedigree Chum. They’s

aliens love, where’s your common

sense?

SAM:

Whatever the f*** they are,

they’re not f***ing aliens.

DENNIS:

You swear too much man.

PEST:

Yeah, you got a potty mouth man.

JEROME:

Whatever they are, they’re

inside the block now. They’re

after everyone.

DENNIS:

Yeah. We’re on the same side

now, know what I’m sayin’?

SAM looks towards her LAND-LINE HANDSET. MOSES follows

her gaze. She makes a lunge for the handset. MOSES gets

there first. Still no eye contact.

MOSES:

No feds.

PEST:

You’d be better off calling

Ghostbusters love.

MOSES:

This is the block. We take care

of things our own way, get me?

SAM:

You’re joking.

DENNIS:

Does it look like he’s jokin’?

SAM:

I was gonna to call for help.

Your friend needs to go to

hospital. So do you. If those

wounds get infected, they could

kill you.

DENNIS:

Nah, he likes his scars innit.

JEROME:

He looks cool, like Tony

Montana!

PEST:

Tony Montana! Scarface innit?

Ha! That’s jokes!

(a jolt of pain)

Fuuuuuck!

DENNIS:

He’s bleedin’ to death fam! Help

him man!

MOSES:

(To Sam)

We ain’t gonna do nothing.

For the first time since the mugging, MOSES looks her

in the eye.
