Script for Hooked


EXT - on an estate/alleyway - cold grey day
LS of Shalimur lying in a pool of blood.  Jump cuts in towards a close up of the character’s face – probably dead. Fade to black. Cut to:
INT –in a house- party scene
LS of Shalimur and other characters enjoying a party, but obvious evidence of drug taking.  Shalimur is standing at the back out of focus.  Focus pull to Deep focus of Shalimur as a character approaches him.  Money changes hands and Shalimur hands the character something secretively. 
Fade to black. Cut to:
EXT – on an estate cold day
MLS of Shalimur and Soukina arguing.
SOUKINA
It’s all about money with you.  You don’t give second thought about what I want.  What about me and you? You want to spend your future selling drugs?  You’ll end up on lock inside pen. Do you want to spend half your life looking at me through metal bars?
SHALIMUR
I aint taking drugs; im not on getting high, I get high over you.  I’ve seen you at clubs giving them a go.  It’s not me you should be worrying about.  Take a look at yourself. You aint the same girl I fell for.
SOUKINA
I dunno what’s happening to us anymore.  It’s all gone wrong round here. I just want to cut, leave this place with you and go somewhere, have a fresh start?
SHALIMUR
Don’t stress babes.  Once I’ve got enough dough we’ll bust out of here. Go somewhere nice. Away from all this shit.
Fade to black.  Cut to:
INT: in a house. Evening time – lights are low.
     The Don (Ahmed) is sitting on a chair whilst Shalimur is sitting in a lower position than him on a sofa.  The shot changes to a low angle mid shot of the Don speaking
AHMED
I’ve been hearing shit about you blood.  Your sales are down. My pockets are feeling lighter; People are telling me you’re chatting shit behind my back. You know I don’t like paigans. Blood me and you aint no joke ting; know each other for time, what’s going on with you
SHALIMUR
It’s my chick. She’s on this hype about me dealing. What’s man gonna do?
AHMED
You know what you have to do blood. Your gonna listen to your boy and forget this chick. Bro’s over hoes, remember that?
Fade to black.
INT; Same living room; low lighting
The Don is sitting in his chair laughing (MS).  LS of Soukina who is staggering around half dancing. C/u of Soukina. When the camera focuses on Soukina, there is an effect which shows she is high and disorientated on drugs. Music playing loudly.
Fade to black
INT; a bedroom, low lighting
M/s Shalimur, head in hands a gun next to him.  Close up of gun
Fade to black
Sound of gunshot
