Cruel Summer Page #2

Synopsis: Danny (Richard Pawulski), a teenager with autism, escapes the inner city for the beautiful countryside as part of his Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme. Little does he know, that bitter Nicholas (Danny Miller) is hunting him, stemming from a lie created by the enamoured and envious Julia (Natalie Martins) and Calvin (Reece Douglas). As the three close in on Danny, Nicholas' behaviour becomes increasingly erratic and violent, and Julia and Calvin must decide whether to go through with Nicholas' deadly plan.

one thing led to another.

- Mate.

this kid.

- Why is that?

- Nick wants to f*** him up.

- Yeah but he's a

f***ing pedophile, Julia.

- What?

- Yeah, his name's Danny.

- Blatant pedophile, but

gets away with it because

apparently he's a bit simple in

the head.

- Well, what's he done?

- All sorts.

You got a little sister,

don't ya?

- Yeah.

- [Nick] How old is she?

- Eight.

- Eight?

F***ing hell, mate, you

Look, he needs sorting out

before he does it again.

- What, again,

he's done it before?

- Yeah.

A couple of years ago, right,

this little girl was missing

around here, police find her

in the woods tied up, she...

Well, she'd been raped,

you know.

Never found out who did it,

but they knew it was him,

if you know what I mean.

- What, so the police just let

him go?

There was no evidence or--

- F***ing hell.

I don't know all the details,

do I?

But it was definitely him.

- Yeah, yeah and now,

me f***ing sister is terrified

of going back to school.

So we're just gonna scare

him a little bit, you know,

sort him out, right?

- Yeah.

Make sure he don't go back to

the school again, you know?

What're you saying?

Come with us.

- Oh, f*** it,

I've got sh*t to do.

- Got sh*t to do, have ya, yeah?

What if it's your sister

next time, eh?

Your little sister.

And you had the chance to

finish it and you didn't.

Eh?

So I'll ask you again.

What're you saying?

- F*** it, alright.

(moody atmospheric music)

(knocks)

(bangs)

- Hello.

- Alright, Mrs. Evans?

We're looking for Danny,

is he home?

- [Mrs. Evans] No, sorry.

- You wouldn't happen to

know where he is, would ya?

Sorry, we're mates from school.

We're supposed to be

meeting him.

- He's out camping, he's

doing his DOE Award.

- Of course, yeah, so

It's just he was looking

to borrow some equipment,
