FADE IN:
INT. CAR - MORNING
It is a hot summers day and the camera is pointing towards the radio which is on but very low. Suddenly We hear a man's voice shouting but you do not see the face.
The camera slowly pans up to see a man sitting in the drivers seat with a mobile phone by his right ear. He has dark shades on and a gold bracelet. Mr David Sutton is a big fat man in his middle thirties who lives the life of a villain. He is sitting back in his seat with his left hand on the staring wheel and the other hand is holding the mobile phone by his right ear, as if he is in a posing position. David is driving with the window down on a back street shouting loudly.
DAVID
SUTTON
(Shouting Loud)
I don't give a shit about your girlfriend Frank,
just get my money by twelve PM tomorrow afternoon you prick. You shouldn't
have taken the stuff unless you knew you could deal with it in the first
place.
CUT TO:
EXT. TELEPHONE BOX - MORNING
We see a young tall man in his early twenties standing in a telephone box opposite a pub looking very worried. His name is called Frank Ling who sells drugs on the streets.
His hair is looking very rough and he hasn't shaved for a few days. His clothes look dirty and he his smoking a cigarette.
FRANK
LING
Yes I know but give me a chance and I will get your
money.
DAVID SUTTON (V. O.)
Give you a chance. I've already given you a week. You take the piss
Frank. Just get my two grand by tomorrow or I'm coming to look for
you. You Hear me.
Everything goes silent and you can hear the radio from the car in the background playing.
DAVID SUTTON (V. O.)
I said did you hear me?
FRANK
LING
(Turns slowly towards the Pub)
Yes, yes I heard you. Two grand by tomorrow.
As
Frank is turning towards the pub he sees David Sutton driving towards
him and then turns into the pub car park.
Frank's eyes open wide and he quickly turns his back towards the pub car park.

He walks up to the pavement and waits for the oncoming traffic to clear before he quickly runs across the road and towards the car park.
CUT TO:
EXT. PUB CAR PARK - MORNING
We see Frank Ling entering the car park and walking towards David's car.
When he gets to the car he takes out a small piece of a coat hanger and starts to push it down through the gap in-between the window seal. After a few seconds of him moving his hand around he manages to open the door and quickly gets in the car.
CUT TO:
INT. PUB - MORNING
David Sutton is sitting down by himself reading the newspaper and has a pint glass in front of him which is nearly empty. He puts down the paper and picks up the glass. He puts the glass to his mouth and finishes his drink before getting up from the table and making his way back to the car park taking the newspaper with him.
CUT TO:

Frank is looking around to check that no one is looking and then puts his hands underneath the staring wheel and manages to find two wires which he rubs together to create an electric circuit that starts the car.
CUT TO:

Frank then quickly drives out of the car park and down the road.
CUT TO:

When David is looking around frantically, I would like that as a hand held POV shot.
David Sutton enters the car park and is looking at the spot where he last parked his car. He realises that his car is not there and starts to look around the car park frantically. He knows that his car has been stolen and throws down the newspaper angrily. He starts to shake his head from left to right and walks back into the pub.
FADE OUT:
FADE IN:
INT. FRANK'S LIVING ROOM - DAY
Cigarette smoke should be back lit to get good effect. There should be a coat rack in the background with Frank Ling's jacket on it.
We see Frank sitting on a chair watching television with both his feet up crossed on the table smoking a cigarette. The room is fairly bright and there is a home phone and an astray on the table beside Frank's crossed legs. He quickly takes his legs off the table and stands up. He pushes his right hand in his right trouser pocket and takes out some coins which he slams onto the table. He then gets his left hand and pushes it into his left trouser pocket and takes out a piece of paper with a name and telephone number on it. He picks up the phone and puts it to his right ear, dialling at the same time. After ten seconds someone picks up the phone at the other end.
FRANK
LING
Hi, you don't know me but I've been recommended
by a friend to call you. I hear that you deal with hot cars?
Frank pauses for a few seconds.
FRANK
LING
Oh' I'm sorry, Paul Miller recommended you
and he said that you're a good genuine person to do business with.
So that's why I'm ringing you.
Frank pauses for a few seconds.
FRANK
LING
What have I got, well I've got a black Suzuki
Swift on a H plate with three thousand miles on the clock. It's in
mint condition, if you want I'll bring it down for you to checkout.
Frank pauses for a few seconds.
FRANK
LING
No problem, I'll meet you in two hours at the
back of Latimer Road tube station.
Frank puts down the phone and smiles to himself nodding his head up and down. He turns around and walks towards the coat rack where his jacket is hanging. Frank grabs his jacket and walks out of the room.

We see Frank ling walking out off the garage with a smile on his face. He turns and walks towards the train station.
FADE OUT:
FADE IN: INT. CAFE - DAY
Maybe we could do a crane shot to slowly reveal David Sutton sitting at the table. When Frank enters the cafe I would like to see a mid shot of David Sutton looking at his watch, cut to an extreme close up of the watches face which should read 12:00PM.
We see David Sutton sitting at a table near the door reading a newspaper. Shortly after we see Frank Ling entering the cafe. As soon as Frank takes one step in the cafe David's head slowly starts to look up in the direction of the door. David and Frank both make eye contact and then David gives Frank a slight node with his head and his face looks very serious. Frank walks over to David's table with a smirk on his face. You can see every step of Franks foot movement in slow motion. He eventually arrives at the table and site's down opposite David.
FRANK
LING
I'm sorry I took so..
DAVID
SUTTON
(Aggressive Tone)
Shut up Frank, I'm not playing games with you.
Have you got the money?
FRANK
LING
Yes David, calm down.
DAVID SUTTON
(Pointing his finger in Frank's face)
What did you say, calm down!
It goes quiet for two seconds. Frank is looking nervously at David
DAVID
SUTTON
Say that again punk, and I'll rip your head
off and shove it down your neck.
FRANK
LING
(Both hands raised near chest)
Sorry!
DAVID
SUTTON
Give me my money right now, and I never want to
see your face around here again.
I would like the camera to be pointing straight up.
We see Frank Ling handing over the money to David Sutton underneath the table.
Once Frank hands the money over to David, he gets up straight away looking at David.
DAVID
SUTTON
It better all be there or I'll come looking
for you.
Frank doesn't say a word and turns towards the door and walks out of the cafe. After ten seconds David reaches into his inside jacket pocket and takes out his mobile phone. He starts to dial a number and then puts the mobile phone to his right ear. We hear the phone ringing.

BOB
COOK

DAVID
SUTTON
Yes that's right.
BOB
COOK

David's face changes to one of curiosity and deep thought. He follows Bob Cook to where the car is parked. The car has a dust sheet covering it's identity. When Bob cook takes off the dust sheet David Sutton notices that the number plates have been taken off. He takes a close inspection on the car and realises that it is his previous car that was stolen the day before.
DAVID
SUTTON
