BLACK SCREEN - SOUND OF BULLETS, SHOUTING AND EXPLOSIONS


FADE TO:

EXT DAY - WAR ZONE

A soldiers runs frantikly across a battle zone without a weapon and
dives desperately into shelter. The mayhem is relentless in the backround
above the safety of the pothole. The soldier pats himself down and peaks over the top - only to quickly pop down again.

VO -

My name is Private Dan Betts, 345637 - Royal Fusiliers. I grew up in Essex, dropped
out of school, did the usual run of the mill jobs then got bored of all that so at 19
I joined the army. What else could i do with no qualifications and being a shit didnt
help....looking where i am now i probably should have worked abit harder!


A grenade explodes nearby, showering DB in falling earth. The bullets and shouting carries on above. Another quick look over the top and another even quicker duck down. DB sits looking around the shelter he has found.


VO -


i decided to join because....well i had no other options and i would have ended up in prison, that was 4 years ago. Anything criminal i might have done then i'd probably be out of prison for it by now. Fuck it, knuckle down...'see the world son'....bollocks!


Another explosion, rubble and earth fall again. The bullets continue, the shouting carries on but there is a louder scream coming closer, louder, closer, louder still. From over the top another soldier falls into the shelter. Its Private George Simmons, he has a rifle but holds it like it scares him.


DB


Where the fuck did you come from?!!

GS


N---n--n-nnn-no idea, the whole squad is sp-p-pplit up
dunno where anyone is, or who-o-o-oose in charge
and theres no way your getting me
out of this f-f-f-u-cking hole!!!!



DB

Ok Ok, calm down. We just need to find out what the fuck is
going on up there-


GS

Complete hell is whats going on up there! They've got us pinned
and i dont see a way out i-


Another grenade lands just nearby showering the pair with a heavy dusting of dirt. Making them lie down in the fresh top soil.

So that is it so far, the general idea is that the two soldiers will be faced with a major problem in the form of a grenade. Watch this space...
