Silhouetted against the glow of the night SKY, holding

the carcass aloft, the gang HYPE and HOLLER.

Above them, beyond the low-lying cloud, visible amongst

a thousand stars -- SIX MORE BLAZING FIREBALLS RACE

ACROSS THE SKY.

MAIN TITLE SUPER: ATTACK THE BLOCK

EXT. ESTATE - NIGHT

Beneath the stars, the ESTATE. A wide twenty storey

TOWER BLOCK surrounded by a ring of LOW RISES. All

connected by intersecting elevated WALKWAYS.

A public SIGNPOST with a big MAP of the estate shows a

bird’s eye view of the layout.

It’s like a plan of a MEDIEVAL FORTRESS. We push in

towards a red arrow labelled ‘YOU ARE HERE’.

13 EXT. ENTRANCE WALKWAY - NIGHT 13

SAM stumbles past low rises along an elevated walkway.

An angry looking WOMAN in a thick coat approaches

carrying shopping. This is MARGARET.

MARGARET:

You alright love?

SAM:

Not really...

Suddenly SAM bursts into TEARS.

14 INT. SAM’S FLAT - MOMENTS LATER 14

SAM’S trembling hands hold a glass of WATER. Her tears

are receding. MARGARET perches tentatively on a sofa

opposite her with a cup of tea.

MARGARET:

Thanks for the tea dear, sure

you don’t want one?

SAM:

No thanks. Water’s fine.

SAM’S in shock, a ghost. FIREWORKS BANG outside.

MARGARET:

Bloody fireworks. I think they

should ban them. Could be the

third world war out there and

say?

They said tonight’s one of the

busiest nights of the year. Bet

they don’t even turn up...
