SAM:

It’s not worth anything...

YOUTH 1

Don’t f*** about!

He pulls something from his pocket. It CLICKS and

FLASHES into view.

A KNIFE.

SAM starts to pull the ring off. It’s tight. She

struggles. The YOUTH steps closer.

YOUTH 1

Wanna get murked innit?

Impatient, he grabs her hand. There’s a small STRUGGLE

between them. SAM shoves him away.

SAM:

F*** off me!

YOUTH 1 pushes back, throwing her HARD to the ground.

YOUTH 1

(to Sam)

Boy, you’re too brave...

The GANG close around her.

YOUTH 2

Dat ring is heavy, get dat!

YOUTH 4

Quick fam, before the feds come

innit...

YOUTH 1

F*** the feds man...

SAM pulls off the ring, holds it out.

SAM:

Just take it!

YOUTH 2 snatches it, but the GANG make no move to

leave. SAM begins to panic. She SCREAMS OUT:

SAM:

Help! Somebody help me!!!

At that moment, high above, she sees something that

makes her FREEZE.

A BRILLIANT BALL OF LIGHT. Plummeting through the sky

right behind the gang. A firework???

The GANG are BACKLIT by a powerful, ethereal LIGHT. As

one, they turn and look upwards, then start to RUN.

As they RUN -- BOOM! Whatever it is, it IMPACTS the

roof of the nearest parked car, a silver Volvo S60.

The roof CAVES instantly. The windows EXPLODE OUT! The

GANG are thrown to the tarmac by the SHOCK WAVE.

Silence. SHATTERED GLASS settles. SMOKE billows and

clears from the WRECKED CAR.

SAM sits up, stunned. Looks at the CAR. Looks at the

recovering GANG. Then she stands up and STUMBLE-RUNS

AWAY. We stay with the gang.

YOUTH 3

Oi! She’s duckin’!

YOUTH 5

Fam, she’s ghostin’!

The closest YOUTHS watch her go, but the LEAD YOUTH’S

eyes are on the WRECK.

He pulls off his MASK. Looks like he’s in his mid to

YOUTH 1

Allow it.

late teens. His expression is steady and serious.

Authoritative. His name is MOSES.

YOUTH 3

Somebody’s bombin’ us blood!

YOUTH 4

Trust, it’s a firework.

YOUTH 2

Some big firework...

MOSES:

Nice whip. Could be bare

valuables in there.

With that, he approaches the WRECK. The others watch

nervously, keeping their distance as -

-- MOSES peers in the SHATTERED WINDOW. Sees only

smoky, murky darkness.

He reaches his hand in, finds the HANDLE to open the

door. It’s buckled. Broken.

He reaches DEEPER in, fiddles for the GLOVE

COMPARTMENT. Opens it.

A little LIGHT comes on, immediately illuminating

something in the foot-well.

A small, pale, monstrous FACE.

Whatever it is, it HISSES in terror! MOSES snaps away

his hand.
