EXT. SECOND DRUG HOUSE (ABBOTT’S LANE). MOMENTS |

LATER. |

|

The side-door of the van gets thrown open and |

Danny, Kate, Rod, Jackie and Hari hop out, all |

in silence. |

|

They grab their weapons from the back of the Van |

and Danny leads them towards the target house. |

|

Kate, Hari, Rod and Jackie fall in behind Danny. |

|

AS they near the gate Danny stops the team and |

this signals to a break-in team (two officers, |

plus enforcer ((battering ram)) to move forward. |

|

First they cut the heavy chain on the gate. |

|

|

Then move forward to the front door. Danny at |

the front. |

|

Move forward the AFO with the enforcer gets |

ready. |

|

Danny counts from three on his fingers, and then |

they break in the front door with the enforcer. |

|

DANNY |

ARMED POLICE! |

|

Danny runs in, he turns right. |

|

DANNY (CONT’D)|

ARMED POLICE! |

|

Hari turns left. |

INT. SECOND DRUG HOUSE. DOWNSTAIRS CONTINUOUS. |

|

Hari gun pointing forward enters a room. |

|

ROD |

|

See his POV through the sight down the barrel of |

the gun. |

|

A table loaded with drug paraphernalia. |

|

JACKIE |

Armed Police |

|

Danny runs into a cannabis hothouse. |

|

DANNY |

Nobody move. Armed Police. |

|

Suddenly there’s movement --a couple of figures |

bolting from another room towards the back. |

|

ROD |

Armed police! |

|

JACKIE |

Armed Police! |

|

The figures stop --a man and a woman, hands |

above their heads, moving slowly --both |

twenties, both unkempt, in nightwear. |

|

ROD |

Show me your hands. Turn around. |

Hands behind your back. Walk to me. |

|

The man backs up. Rod grabs him. |

|

ROD (CONT’D)|

Keep coming. Move. |

|

And Rod drags him away to be handcuffed. |

|

The Woman steps out. |

|

JACKIE |

Turn around. Hands behind your |

back. Behind your back. To me. |

|

Jackie handcuffs the woman. |

|

ROD (O.S)|

Move. Move. |

|

Rod and Jackie complete the cuffing. Danny |

appears at the bottom of the stairs. |

|

DANNY |

Who else is in the house? |

|

RESIDENT |

No one. |

|

Danny throws a look up the stairs. |

|

DANNY |

We’re going up.|

(To Kate.)|

Call it in, Channel 1. |

|

KATE (INTO RADIO)|

Victor Charlie Five Five on 1. |

|

MCANDREW (OUT OF RADIO)|

Victor Charlie Four One, go ahead, |

Five Five. |

|

KATE |

(Into radio.)|

Two suspects in custody. Continuing |

the search. |

|

DANNY |

Hari, Rod, Jack’s, go up. Kate, |

stay put. |

|

KATE:

(Not liking the implication)

I’m good to go up.

DANNY:

You lot go up. Back-to-back on 2.

Jackie, Rod and Hari adjust their radios, as

does Danny, and they head upstairs.

Kate goes to adjust her radio.

DANNY (CONT’D)

(To Kate, of radio channels)

Stay on 1.

Kate and Danny remain with the residents.

KATE:

You really going to be like this?

DANNY:

You had your chance to make this

painless. In the morning I’m

telling McAndrew to bump you off

the squad.

Jackie, Rod and Hari go out of sight upstairs.

Danny and Kate wait tensely.

HARI (OUT OF RADIO)

Victor Charlie Five One.

DANNY (INTO RADIO)

Five One.

HARI (OUT OF RADIO)

Five Four. You better come up here,

Skipper.

DANNY:

(Into radio)

On my way.

(To Kate)

Don’t move a muscle.

Danny heads upstairs, leaving Kate alone with

the residents, bitter at being excluded by

Danny.

Danny vanishes out of sight upstairs.

A couple of beats later, there’s a gunshot. Kate

reacts with shock. So do the residents.

KATE |

(To Residents)|

Who else is up there? |

|

RESIDENT |

No one! I told you! |

|

KATE (INTO RADIO)|

Shot fired, Five Five. No further |

information. Shot fired! |

|

MCANDREW (OUT OF RADIO)|

Victor Charlie Four One. What’s |

going on? |

|

KATE |

Sh*t! |

|

Kate charges to the top of the stairs. |

|

MCANDREW (OUT OF RADIO)|

Five Five, report... Any call sign, |

request urgent sit rep on shot |

fired... |

|

Kate draws her firearm and enters the room. |

|

CUT TO:
|

|

INT. SECOND DRUG HOUSE. CONTINUOUS. |

|

Kate’s reaction. |

|

Danny lies on the ground, blood spurting in |

bright red pulses from a submandibular gunshot |

wound. Danny puts his hand to his throat to stop |

the bleeding but it sprays between his fingers. |

Meanwhile the others are frozen --Rod anguished |

murmuring “Sh*t, sh*t”, Jackie confused and Hari |

paralysed with horror. |

|

KATE (INTO RADIO)|

Victor Charlie Five Five, status |

zero, officer seriously wounded. |

|

Kate drops to her knees and presses her |

compression pack to Danny’s throat to try and |

stem the haemorrhage. Danny groans weakly and |

his eyes roll. |

|

KATE (CONT’D)|

(To Rod, Hari, Jackie)|

What happened? |

|

They all just look ashen and shaken, unable to |

answer. |

Blood keeps leaking out everywhere from Danny’s

neck, but he makes gurgling and groaning sounds.

MCANDREW (OUT OF RADIO)

We understand we have a status zero

on one of our officers.

KATE:

Stay with me, Danny, stay with me.

Danny tries to say something. Kate leans in

close. Danny’s lips move weakly, we can’t hear

what he says, but Kate’s ear is right against

his mouth.

MCANDREW (OUT OF RADIO)

Urgent medical attention required,

ROD:

What’s he saying? What’s he saying?

MCANDREW (OUT OF RADIO)

We have an officer down.

Danny stops trying to talk.

Danny falls silent, his eyes go blank.

KATE:

Stay with me, Danny... Danny.
