FADE IN:
SCENE 1 EXT – FOOTBALL PITCH (STANDS) MIDDAY 12:00PM
JORDAN and JAMIE are two best friends who have been playing
football together since they were kids. They both play for
a Saturday league team with adults as they are both good at
football. They play for their local Saturday league club in
Tottenham. They are playing in their teams ground, the
pitch is well looked after and the grounds man does a
fairly good job considering its non-league football. The
pitch has a rail around the outside with one red seated
stand and one stand without seating for the away
supporters. JORDAN and JAMIE both play up front for the
team and often both start for the games. However, a text
sent out to their squad from the manager PAUL is about to
change everything for JORDAN.
JAMIE
(Shouting) Oi Jord come here, Paul’s sent
the squad for the final on the group chat.
JORDAN, looking confident, walks over to JAMIE who is sat
down in the stand and they both look at the phone reading
out the names on the team sheet. As they’re reading the
team sheet, JORDAN walks away and turns around to JAMIE.
JORDAN
(Disheartened) Where’s my name then J
JAMIE
I’m not sure mate, maybe he’s made a
mistake.
JORDAN’S phone receives a text message, he looks at it and
its Paul his manager. The text is shown on screen and
Jordan is speechless. JORDAN puts his phone in his pocket,
picks up his jacket and begins to walk off.
JAMIE
Where you going Jord?

JAMIE
(Guiltily) I tried to change his mind Jord
I swear down.
JORDAN
(Aggressively) You fucking knew about this
and you didn’t even think about telling
me? Dickhead.
Jordan is very angry and storms off leaving Jamie stood
silently and guiltily watching his best friend walk away
from him. Some urban grime music begins to fade in.
SCENE 2 EXT – COUNCIL ESTATE LATE AFTERNOON - SUN BEGINNING
TO GO DOWN
Jordan is walking down the streets of where he is from
where he sees a car pull up, two guys in full tracksuits
and balaclavas on get out the car and run upon a guy
standing against a wall on his phone. They pin him up
against the wall and begin to hit him. Jordan turns the
other way and starts walking round the corner but the car
chases after him and one of the guys gets out and confronts
Jordan and pushes him against a wall.
TRIGS
Why are you running from us bro?
JORDAN
I wasn’t running man allow it
Trigs tightens the grip on Jordan’s jacket
TRIGS

They get back in the SK’s blacked out car and drive off
leaving Jordan in some shock. Some urban grime music begins
to fade in and we now see a series of shots.
SCENE 3 SERIES OF SHOTS
URBAN MUSIC BEGINS TO PLAY AND THERE IS A MONTAGE OF CLIPS
OF JORDAN BEING INVOLVED WITH THE GANG
SEQUENCE A – JORDAN is on his rough council estate in
Tottenham on a small bit of grass. He is playing some
football on his own however he seems very demotivated and
is very sluggish whilst kicking the football about. SK’s
blacked out Volkswagen pulls up nearby and SK winds down
the window. JORDAN walks over leaving the football behind.
JORDAN gets into the car and they drive off.
SEQUENCE B – SK and JORDAN are hanging around on an urban
estate. SK is using a burner phone and we see a sequence of
shots of JORDAN doing some drug deals as well as counting
some money and sorting out some drugs.
SEQUENCE C – JORDAN, SK AND TRIGS are sat around a coffee
table which has drugs and money all over the place as well
as a few knifes. During this we also see a news report on
the increase of stabbings and knife crime in London.
SCENE 4 EXT – STREETS/URBAN AREA – NIGHT TIME 8PM
JORDAN gets a call from SK. Jordan answers the phone
confidently.
JORDAN

SK

something for you.
JORDAN
Safe, in a bit.
SCENE 5 EXT – UNDERPASS/WALKWAY 11PM - NIGHT
We see JAMIE walking through the dark walk way on the phone
to his mum. He is wearing his Saturday football teams’
tracksuit and has just finished football training. He is
ringing his mum to tell her he has to walk home due to
being unable to find a lift home and she is worried for
him.
JAMIE
Yeah mum I’m on my way home now, I
couldn’t get a lift so I’m walking, yeah I
know I’ll be careful, see you in a bit.
A car pulls up alongside JAMIE and two people get out
wearing balaclavas and hoodies. JAMIE turns around but as
he turns around and TRIGGS swings a baseball bat at JAMIE
and the screen goes black.
SCENE 6 EXT – DARK ROOF TOP CAR PARK - MID NIGHT
We see car pull up alongside JORDAN and SK who are waiting
outside their car. Two people get out and they open the
boot.

SK hands over some money to the guy with TRIGGS. He drives
off and SK, JORDAN and TRIGGS surround the victim. SK pulls
out a gun and looks over at JORDAN.
SK
J, if you wanna rep Wood Green then you
have to step up bro…
(Looks at the gun)
JORDAN
(Nervously) Aight calm
JORDAN takes the gun from SK nervously and stares down at
Leroys cousin who has a bag over his head. Little does
Jordan know that Leroy’s cousin (JAMIE) is someone a lot
closer to him than he thought…
Jordan slowly points the gun towards Leroy’s Cousin
(JAMIE).
SK
(Impatiently) Fucking shoot him J.
We hear a loud gun shot and the screen goes black. The
camera fades back in and we see the victim on the ground
(JAMIE) with blood rushing from his head through the bag.
SK
Shit, the feds (police), J lets fucking

JORDAN is frozen in shock as he looks down at the ground
and sees a phone ringing. The phone had fallen out of the
victims pocket and the contact calling was ‘mum’.
JORDAN lifted the bag off the victims head only to reveal
JAMIE. SK starts running as the police sirens are getting
louder, JORDAN falls to his knees and points the gun
towards his head. We see blue lights start to flash on his
face as the police have arrived, we hear a gun shot and the
Grime music/urban music starts to play and the title of the
film appears on the screen with all the film credits.
