CHAPTER ONE - PAY UP

1A. EXT ALLEY WAY. NIGHT

The alley is wide with a quiet street sitting beyond it.
DAVE, an ex military mid 20 year old runs in from the right
end of the alley leans on the left wall panting heavily, he
slips down to the floor. He has just come running out of a
local club away from MR JONES and his GOONS. The disruption
was a result of DAVE failing to reimburse MR JONES of a
loan made. The loan was needed by DAVE as he struggled to
adjust back to society after fighting abroad. His distress
is tracended by jump cuts as he counts the little money he
has before sitting down with his head leant back onto the
wall. A close up of DAVE shows him doze off in a haze. The
sound of guns and explosions simmers in at the same time.
MATCH CUT TO:

1.2. EXT. ALLEY WAY. EARLY MORNING

The image is match cut with DAVE awakening to quck slaps in
the face from one of the GOONS. MR JONES stands behind as
DAVE comes around
GOON
Wakey wakey David.
DAVE comes around and MR JONES steps forth and crouches
down. MR JONES takes his suglasses off, looks around, back
to DAVE and shakes his head.
MR JONES
(Tuts 3 times) Dave, Dave, Dave.
You wanna tell me whats going on?
Still in a haze, DAVE's eyes move down from MR JONES to the
floor. He dosn't say anything. MR JONES awaits a reply,
nods and puts his sunglasses back on. He steps back while
the GOONS step forth. GOON 1 punches DAVE in the face.
MR JONES
You see David, when a man of my
position,
A second pucnh is made to DAVE's stomach.
MR JONES
...makes deals, in favour of my
associates,
A third punch is made to DAVE'S face.

MR JONES

I don't expect them to be broken.

DAVE lays beaten, disorianated and helpless.
MR JONES
You weren't even drinking in my
club for fucks sake!
MR JONES walks back over and neals infornt of DAVE. DAVE's
consiuosness is playing with him. MR JONES grabs DAVE by
the face to get his attention.
MR JONES
We are not done David. (shouting)
Carry on lootin, carry on
providing. Pay back what you owe!
MR JONES shoves DAVE by his face and gets up. MR JONES and
the GOONS walk back down the alley to exit right.
MR JONES
(As he walks away) And who knows,
maybe you'll carry on living.
(laughs as he walks off)

DAVE sits in pain trying to process what just happened.

FADE OUT.
CHAPTER TWO - LOOT IT

2. INT. DAVE'S HOUSE - NIGHT, SOME MONTHS AFTER

DAVE sits in his small living room watching the television.
He has been living a life of terror and violence, exactly
what he fled the army from. DAVE's mindcan't process the
innconet lives he has toyed with. The TV plays news reports
of violence abroad. The sound of guns and explosions sends
DAVE into a trance that combines his actions both in the
army and abroad. He grabs the TV remote to turn the volume
down which turns the sounds up - he can't escape it.

local shop robberies.
EMILY
Crazy about all those robberies

DAVE rapidly shuts the paper and looks up at EMILY.
EMILY
The girls reckon it's one guy but
I said they'd of caught him by
now.
DAVE takes a moment to reply as EMILY meets his eye.
DAVE
Yeah, well, I mean, it can't be
just one guy, I read the robberies
were quite spread apart.
EMILY
Exactly! Imagine if it was one guy
though, I bet he'd be loaded. What
do you do?
DAVE
Uh-
EMILY

asked your name.
EMILY sits opposite DAVE.

DAVE
Yeah, I wondered why I didn't
regonise the lady at the counter.
EMILY
Oh so you knew the owner George?
DAVE
I knew him as much as a regular
would.
EMILY
Well the girls said -
EMILY looks over her shoulder around the empty section of
the cafe DAVE is sat in. She crouchs over and sits in the
chair opposite DAVE.
EMILY
The girls said he his wife left
and he went a bit crazy, couldn't
look after the place any more. Hey
maybe he's one on that robbing
spree ha!
DAVE chuckles with EMILY
DAVE
Aha. I don't think George is quite
capable of that.
EMILY's giggle dies out before DAVE, she looks at his
drink.
EMILY
(Scruches nose) Black coffee?
DAVE
Gives me the illusion I'm awake,
EMILY
I'm more of a green tea, skinny
late drinker, you know goes to
town buys a £5 smoothie, then
wonders why I can't afford the top
I wanted from H&M!
DAVE and EMILY both share a giggle
EMILY

MR JONES bursts out in laughter while DAVE stares at him
blankly.
MR JONES

DAVE shakes his head.
MR JONES
Suit yourself.
MR JONES turns around to pour himself a drink.
MR JONES
You see Dave, that's what I like
about you. Straight to the point.
It's almost like you love what you

MR JONES turns to face DAVE.
MR JONES

MR JONES
You know something Dave, I really
find it diffilcult trying to
comprehend whether anything
actually goes on inside that head
of yours. So I'm going to make
this very clear to you. If that
bag ain't full by Thursday, well
lets put it this way... we won't
be putting money in the bag.
MR JONES stares into Dave who stills stares at the desk.
After an intense pause, MR JONES slaps the desk.
MR JONES
Do I make myself clear?
DAVE
Cystal Mr Jones
MR JONES
Ha. Crystal. Run along, Dave.
FADE OUT

EMILY turns around, DAVE's smile drops. The coffee machine
turns on, DAVE stares at the till and starts playing the
scynareo in is head, the shot, the till opening, the ecapse
route.
EMILY
So how are you?
DAVE
Uh... I'm fine thanks, yourelf?
EMILY
Yeah fine...I'm quite tired
though... long shift today.
DAVE
Oh right..
Dave looks down the cafe behind him.
DAVE
Quite busy today was it?
EMILY
Yeah (still facing the coffee
machine) it's strange though, the
last place I worked in a day like
this would be quiet a hell.
EMILY turns with coffee and places it in front of DAVE.
EMILY
It's strange not being busy here
is doing better than nothing, can
I get you anything else?
DAVE
No thanks.
Dave reaches towards the right side of his trousers where
both his wallet and pistol sit. The audience is left a long
shot of DAVE removing and item from that pocket of which
the audience is going to decide.
