2. EXT. WOODLAND - EVENING
Four teenagers have been enjoying an evening out, they have
been drinking and are now on their way home when they come
across a group of teenagers who are attacking a young girl.
JASON
(laughs)
Guys, did you here about that gang
at school that got caught dealing
drugs outside the station? Dodgy
lot they are!
FELIX
Oh my god that’s really bad, they
are horrible people, I really don’t
like them. I don’t know how they
are still at school.
MATTHEW
(shrugs)
Oh well.
HEIDI
You know what when I was down the
station the other day I saw Maisie,
remind me to ring her later on.
FELIX
Yer ok.
JASON
Whats everyone doing tomorrow, I
was thinking about going out, doing
something fun, what do’ya fancy?
HEIDI
(pushes Jason)
With such a hangover, you’re never
gonna be getting out of bed until

after 4ish when you finally get
your arse out of bed and get tarted

(Jason dashes towards Heidi
and she shrieks and runs)

(CONTINUED)

3. CONTINUED: 2.
FELIX
Ooh be careful please
JASON
Felix your such a scaredy cat

Jason passes Felix a bottle of alcohol
Whats gunna happen? Matts gets
eaten by a ghost?
(laughs)
Camera view of Matthew, who has walked into the distance,
puts up his hood and brings his phone to his ear. Hear
muffled shouting.
HEIDI
(makes ghost noises and dances
around Felix)
You say that
(Evil laugh)
There was a man who killed on the
train tracks just over there and
his ghost haunts this lot of
woods, likes sneaking up and eating
teenagers!
(makes more ghost noises)
FELIX
Oh Heidi, shut up!
JASON
And there was a ghost who lived
under an oak tree and galloped
around on his horse each night,
used to be a knight and spears
anyone in his path!
Felix finally accepts the alcohol
About time you got some of that
down your neck! Steady on girl,
just a sniff of that and you’ll be
pissed!
FELIX
(giggles and stumbling about)
I don’t know what you mean!
HEIDI
Oh Felix, you do make me giggle!
Loud shouts and screams come from
the woods
(CONTINUED)

4. CONTINUED: 3.
JASON
What the fuck was that!?
Teenagers look around and run to bushes
CAMERA VIEW INTO THE BUSHES OF THE CRIME SCENE. WE SEE
HOODED CHARACTERS WITH WEAPONS.
Felix goes to investigate and help the person being attacked
but is grabbed by Jason who tells her to stay back and that
she’d get hurt
JASON
(whispers)
Felix, what the fuck are you doing,
they’ve got knives and axes you’re
gunna fucking killed if you go any
further
Jason and Heidi turn to run and Felix remains staring into
the bushes. She moves forwards as if she is going to enter
the bushes. Heidi runs back and grabs her violently on the
shoulder and drags her backwards.
HEIDI
Come on Fee, we’ve got to get out
of here, you heard what J said!
FELIX
(stammers)
Bu.. bu.. But what abo.. about that
girl?
Jason and Heidi grab hold of Felix and run off into the
distance. Heidi keeps looking behind her.
CAMERA VIEW LOOKING BACK TOWARDS THE CRIME SCENE
After running for a short while they hear movement in the
woodland and bushes around them and Felix escapes Jason and
Heidi’s grip, stops and looks around.
JASON
(shouting)
For fuck sakes Fee! We need to get
out of here alive!
The three characters stop and look around and Jason and
Heidi go to grab Felix again when Matthew appears out of the
bushes looking a bit flustered.
(CONTINUED)

5. CONTINUED: 4.
JASON
(breathlessly)
Fucking hell mate, we need to get
out of here.
HEIDI
We’ll explain later. Now Fee move!
All four teenagers run off and head towards home. We hear a
muffled noise of the teenagers explaining what they’d seen
to Matthew.
SCREEN GOES BLACK
INT. HOUSE - NIGHT
The teenagers have returned to house and have explained to
Matthew on the way home about what they saw. They are now
huddles round in a circle and Matthew is demanding that they
say nothing and forget that they’d ever seen the attack.
Felix is adamant that they should go to the police.
FELIX
(whimpering)
But what about that girl!
MATTHEW
(Getting irate)
Just forget you ever saw anything.
Shut your mouth and just forget.
Forget alright!
Jason and Heidi exchange concerned glances.
JASON
What if it was that gang from
school? You’d never wanna let them
find out it was one of us that had
told.
HEIDI
Hmmm... I’m sure that it was them.
Oooh god, what should we do!
FELIX
(concerned, beginning to cry)
We need to go to the police! That
girl!
(CONTINUED)

6. CONTINUED: 5.
Matthew shoots a fierce look at Felix, they look eye to eye
then Felix spots some blood on Matthews hand, he looks down
and then moves his hand out of view.
FELIX
What has gotten into you!
INT. HOUSE - DAY
A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE FLASHES ON THE SCREEN AND IS APPEALING
FOR ANY WITNESSES OR INFORMATION ABOUT THE EVENTS OF THE
PREVIOUS NIGHT. A RADIO/ NEWS CLIP IS PLAYING OVER THE TOP
DOCUMENTING THE SAME INFORMATION.
Matthew is on the phone in another room and is shouting, it
becomes apparent that he had some connection with the
attack. Felix is wandering aimlessly around the room and
looks distressed. Matthew comes back in.
FELIX
Ooh, I cant stop thinking about
what we saw. Honestly we need to go
to the police.
MATTHEW
(Shouting)
Felix! Just fuck off, I don’t need
you crying in my ear all the
fucking time!
There is a loud bang at the door and its the police. They
start shouting and demand to be let in because they know the
teenagers are in the house.
MATTHEW
(Whispers sternly)
Get down from the window. We are
NOT here!
FELIX
But the police at the door we need
to talk to them!
SCREEN GOES BLACK

The teenagers have been taken into the police station, have
been put in cells and are now being interviewed separately.

HEIDI
Ermm.. well we were out and
