FADE IN:
Ext. BURNED DOWN BUILDING LAIR- DAY
dane.nielsen@franklin.ac.uk

In a heap on the floor, is FRANK LIZEWSKI, dressed as LIGHTNING

MAN. He is writhing, and has blood around his nose.

As we see this image, we hear a voiceover from FRANK.

FRANK (V/O)
Maybe youre wondering if youve accidentally missed the
beginning of this tale, and are seeing the end. Rest assured,
youre not.

PAUSE

FRANK(V/O)
I just thought this would grab your attention, and set the scene
for the events that youre about to see. Keep in mind, everything
you see in the next twenty minutes or so, really did happen.

FADE OUT.

SCENE TWO
FADE IN:

Int. RIVERHEAD COFFEE- DAY

FRANK is sat at a table alone. We are shown the back of him,

however the shot swivels to the front. He is silent, but we again
hear a narration. He is holding a MUG OF COFFEE.

FRANK(V/O)
Secrets are difficult. Especially mine. See, Im a superhero. I
do a lot of cool shit, but I cant even gloat about it. Like
those times where you drop something, but catch before it hits
the floor. For the last few months, I have been the
personification of that. My mother, handicapped brother...they
can never know...If anyone knew, GRIMSBYS own madman, WILSON
DENT would have my family crushed.

FADE OUT.

SCENE THREE

Int. FRANKS BEDROOM- DAY

STEVIE, FRANKS younger, disabled brother, has WHEELED into his

brothers room to search for a PORN MAGAZINE.

STEVIE
C-C-Cmon F-F-FRANK, where you hid that sweet ting

STEVIE continues searching and finds FRANKS LIGHTNING MANs

costume.

STEVIE
W-W-What the? FRANK is LIGHTNING MAN? Oh my god!

STEVIE looks up and gives a chaotic smirk.

FADE OUT.

SCENE FOUR
FADE IN:

Ext. ALLEYWAY- NIGHT

Opens with a shot of FRANK stood facing the opposite way to the
camera. He is stood with his hands on his hips, watching over the
town in his costume.

FRANK(V/O)
Something that a superhero will never get used to in this town,
is the unpredictability

STEVIE
Hey, FRANK!

FRANK
STEVIE? I mean, uh who are you, kid?
STEVIE
Forget it FRANK, I found your costume under your bed.

FRANK
dane.nielsen@franklin.ac.uk

You went in my room? STEVIE what the fu-

STEVIE
Shut up FRANK. Im your sidekick now! When Im dressed like this,
youll only call me THE RUNAWAY TRAIN

FRANK
STEVIE, thats the most stupid thing, Ive ever heard in my
entire life

FADE OUT.

SCENE FIVE
FADE IN:

Ext. STREET- NIGHT

LIGHTNING MAN (FRANK) & THE RUNAWAY TRAIN (STEVIE) are in pursuit
of two criminals. The four are running through town, with the
latter being ahead.

THE RUNAWAY TRAIN

FRANK, I have an idea, wheel me into them!

LIGHTNING MAN
What? STEVIE, no!

RUNAWAY TRAIN
Do it!

LIGHTNING MAN wheels THE RUNAWAY TRAIN into one of the goons,
knocking him down.

ROBERT LESNAR
Shit, DeSHAWN, help!

The other goon, DeSHAWN TUPAC SHAKUR turns and runs back.He tries
dragging LESNAR away, and THE RUNAWAY TRAIN chases them, but gets
his cape stuck in a bush, stopping him from, being able to help.

RUNAWAY TRAIN
dane.nielsen@franklin.ac.uk

LIGHTNING MAN, theyve found my weakness!

LIGHTNING MAN
Dont worry TRAIN, I got you!

FRANK(V/O)
This must not register on an emotional level. First, dislocate
jaw. Second, break ribs. Third, sweep legs. Finish off this
spinning heel kick to the face.

LIGHTNING MAN goes to put his plan into place, but gets destroyed
by LESNAR and TUPAC SHAKUR.RUNAWAY TRAIN becomes free, and he
wheels his chair into the two goons legs, knocking them down.
Finally, LIGHTNING MAN is back up on his feet. He gets in
DeSHAWNS face.

LIGHTNING MAN
Tell me who your boss is SHAKUR.

DeSHAWN TUPAC SHAKUR

I dunno what youre talking bout, man. ROBERT, look at this
little white pair. Like gay batman and robin.

Both goons begin laughing and pointing at THE RUNAWAY TRAIN.

LIGHTNING MAN punches DeSHAWN in the face.

RUNAWAY TRAIN
T-t-t-tell us where D-D-D-Dent is b-bitch.

DeSHAWN
Fine. Hes at the burned down building near the cricket course

LESNAR gets up and runs away whilst DeSHAWN is interrogated.

RUNAWAY TRAIN
Shit, F-F-Frank, he got away.

LIGHTNING MAN
Let him, we have what we need.

FADE OUT.

DENT stares at LESNAR

DENT
That sounds like a joke, is it a joke?

LESNAR
No.

DENT

LIGHTNING MAN
DENT, get out here, youre under arrest.

DENT
Since when did cops wheel around in foil? You guys look so
fucking stupid.

THE RUNAWAY TRAIN

LIGHTNING MAN
dane.nielsen@franklin.ac.uk

No STEVIE, he said stupid.

THE RUNAWAY TRAIN

No, I h-h-h-eard what I h-h-heard.

THE RUNAWAY TRAIN tries standing up, but falls out of his chair.

LIGHTNING MAN
STEVIE, for god sake get up you tit. This is why I work alone.
Stay here.

LIGHTNING MAN WALKS TOWARDS THE HOUSE; LESNAR RUNS OUT TO MEET
HIM. THE TWO FIGHT. EVENTUALLY, LESNAR GETS THE UPPER HAND, UNTIL

DISGRUNTLED FACE.
