Steve shut up, got some news that everyone should know about.

(Arial shot of the crowd moving round the  table to find out the big news )

Eric

Right lads, there’s this fuckin weirdo moved in 4 houses down past me, I’ve had my eye on him, seen him smiling at the wife.

(Cliff gives Eric a little nod to show his appreciation)

Eric

Its got to go down soon rather than later you know what I’m saying? We either need to be packed and fuck him up long and painful or make it quick and get him to fuck right off!

Steve

I just want him out, but with my record I cant afford to get done, so I’m think make him run like the cunt he is.

Policemen

You’re nicked mate!

Eric

 HAPPY DAYS!!!

Policemen

That’s what an eye witness heard last night when you beat that man to death!

(Eric stops)

Eric

WHAT?!

Policemen

You heard scum!

(back at Rogers house)



Roger

Please!!, I tried to stop them, I knew it was wrong I can’t go back please!
I can’t leave my son!

Policemen number 2

Should of thought of that before you and your mates beat an innocent man to death.

Roger

INNOCENT!? He’s a nonce

Policemen number 2

Yeah. Innocent.
Get in the car and shut up!

(pushes Roger in the car)

(Roger is in tears)

Roger

I tried, please!


(Back at Eric’s)

(Eric’s sitting in the police car)

Eric

He was a paedophile mate, you would have done the same!
Anyone would of, I’ve got kids, you got a band on so no doubt you do.
I was helping the community!

Policemen 1

He wasn’t a paedophile!!


Eric

You what?

Policemen 1

He had just buried his wife and 2 kids.

Eric

Yeah alright then mate, you old bill will say anything, I have proof I saw him at the park looking at little kids eyen them up as if it was a super model. He was getting friendly with my little ones for fuck sake!

Policemen

Call that proof??
He moved here out of his family house to get away from the memories of what he has lost, what he had. No doubting he was at the park but he was probably  in depression looking at the families with the children playing football because his son played youth for Chelsea. He son was gonna be big apparently.

(Eric starts to fidget in his seat)

Eric

Nah your wrong!!

Policemen 1

You think I’d make this up?
Try thinking, before taking the law into your own hands. Because you took a life, now you’re going down.

(close-up)
(Eric starts to cry, wiping his tears with the same shirt he kissed before killing the innocent man. Police car drives away with his 2 sons in the street playing football)
