INT. SAFEHOUSE – GROUND FLOOR – DAY

CHIEF (young 20s), BILLY (young 20s), HAL (late teens) and JOE (late teens) are inside their safehouse. They are sorting out their equipment and money one day after executing a heist. They are wearing casual, dark clothes.

CHIEF sorts out the weapons. He makes sure they function properly.

BILLY throws money at HAL and JOE to count. HAL and JOE sort out money, dividing it equally, while ROBERT is outside.

CUT TO:

EXT. SAFEHOUSE – ALLEYWAY – DAYROBERT is about to destroy the van. He picks up a bottle full of petrol. He is about it pour over the van, but he sees a rival group all dressed in dark clothing and armed with weapons.

RIVAL 1, RIVAL 2 and RIVAL 3 make their way through the front door.

ROBERT becomes worried.

RIVAL 1(pleased) Haha! This is the place. Bring the door down.

ROBERTOh sh-..

CUT TO:

INT. SAFEHOUSE – GROUND FLOOR – DAY

RIVAL 1, RIVAL 2 and RIVAL 3 knock down the door.

CHIEF, BILLY, HAL AND JOE cannot hear the door because of their music playing.

HAL and JOE tell BILLY and CHIEF that they had taken £10,000,000 from the heist.

RIVAL 1, RIVAL 2 and RIVAL 3 point guns at HAL, JOE, BILLY and CHIEF.

CHIEF and BILLY look at the back room, telling HAL and JOE to go there. CHIEF counts down with his fingers behind his back.

CHIEF and BILLY grab the weapons behind them and kill RIVAL 3. HAL and JOE run into the back room. CHIEF and BILLY take cover, and RIVAL 1 and RIVAL 2 try to shoot at them.

CHIEF and BILLY run out of bullets. They become flustered. They then see two knives on the floor across the room. They run to the knives and throw them at RIVAL 1 and RIVAL 2, killing them.

HAL and JOE come out of the back room, terrified from the gunfight that had just happened. They all make their way outside.

CHIEFHow much we got then lads?
