## Transcript

(*Gavin, Tariq, and Terrence are in Terrence's car*.)

**Gavin:** I've heard of some stupid plans in my time, I'll even admit to have come up with a few meself. But this one *really* takes the biscuit.

**Terrence:** You got any better ideas? We tried doing nothing and it didn't work!

**Gavin:** You put the Watcher in a freezer!

**Terrence:** And you let him out.

**Gavin:** I cannot believe I'm here with you two. I would rather have jumped out a window than come here. If this doesn't end in tears, my name is not Thelonius T. DeepGoat.

**Tariq:** It's not.

**Gavin:** It's not- (*Shoves the camera in Tariq's face*.) Thank you, Tariq Bhartti! Observant to the last! Yeah, brilliant! T- I can't believe you, of all people, think that *this* is a good idea!

**Tariq:** We need a *resolution*, Gavin. Yeah, let's just start the year how we mean to go on. Get off!

**Terrence:** That's the spirit. (*Steps out of the car*.)

**Gavin:** Did everyone get a big pair of balls in their stockings this Christmas, or what? (*Gets out of the car*.)

(*Cut to the three standing behind the car*.)

**Tariq:** Go away, Gav. (*Shoves the camera away*.)

**Gavin:** Morning, Tariq. Big action hero, yeah?

**Tariq:** I'm not in the mood, Gavin. Get out of my face.

**Gavin:** Oh, come on. I've got Tariq Bhartti, big action hero.

**Tariq:** Piss off!

**Gavin:** I've already got- Oh.

(*Terrence comes running up*.)

**Terrence:** She's just gone in there! She's on her own. Come on, let's go over there. (*Opens the boot of the car*.)

**Tariq:** What you bring those for?

**Terrence:** Well, somehow I don't think the plan's gonna work without them.

**Gavin:** What's he got? (*Zooms in, revealing three balaclavas*.) Right. Um... I'll be off, then, lads. I probably forgot to mention that one of my New Year's resolutions was not to get involved in any life-threateningly stupid shite. Goodbye.

**Tariq:** Yeah, me, too. I'm out.

**Terrence:** "Lend me fifteen grand, Terrence." "No problem, Gav." Or "Give me a job and help me land back on my feet." "Gladly, Tariq." Don't ask much, do I, lads? But when I do, it's not very polite to say "no", now is it? Take this. (*Hands a balaclava to Tariq*.)

**Gavin:** I'm not wearing one of them.

**Terrence:** Well, if you don't wear one of these... (*Holds up the balaclava. Terrence then lifts up the floor in the boot and pulls out a gun*.) You'll get one of these.

**Gavin:** Oh my God! Shit.

(*Cut to a sign telling pedestrians to wait for a light to cross the street. The camera pans to the cross light, which is red*.)

**Gavin:** Maybe this isn't the best plan. Seriously.

(*The cross light turns green*.)

**Terrence:** Follow my lead.

(*Terrence motions for Tariq and Gavin to follow as he begins to cross the street. Gavin follows close behind, with the gun hidden under his coat. The three walk to the Hymn of One Centre*.)

**Terrence:** Let's do this.

(*Cut to Gavin and Terrence waiting outside of a door inside the building*.)

**Terrence:** Ready? (*Gavin appears distraught*.) I said "are you ready"?

**Gavin:** Not really, Terrence, no. I'm in IT, not the bloody SAS!

(*Gavin holds the gun up. Terrence pulls down his mask and runs through the doorway*.)

**Gavin:** Oh, shit. (*Pulls down his mask and follows Terrence*.) Back up!

**Terrence:** (*Approaching Michelle Clore with a gun*.) Bloody Order, give my software back to me right now!

**Gavin:** Oh, shit!

(*Two Shadows appear, one of which grabs Terrence's gun and punches him to the ground. The Shadows then begin coming after Gavin and Tariq*.)

**Tariq:** Oh! Gav!

**Gavin:** No hard feelings, mate! We were just leaving! No hard feelings!

**Tariq:** Go, go, go!

(*Tariq and Gavin rush out of the room and down a flight of stairs to the exit*.)

**Gavin:** Quick! Quick!

(*A Shadow is shown following them, as the two descend the stairs*.)

**Tariq:** Gavin, go!

**Gavin:** Keep going, don't stop!

(*Cut to outside, where Gavin and Tariq are running from the building. Gavin is carrying the gun Terrence gave him, and removes his mask*.)

**Gavin:** Don't stop! Keep going! (*Tariq runs across the street, and is honked at by passing traffic*.) Go! Keep going! (*Tariq turns the camera back, to make sure Gavin is following*.) Keep moving, keep moving!

(*Tariq spots two policemen across the street*.)

**Tariq:** Oh, oh thank God! Thank God! I'm being chased by this mad guy. He's got a gun! He's got a gun!

**Gavin:** Oh, thank God! Thank God!

**Policeman 1:** Stay there. Put the gun down!

**Gavin:** Yeah. (*Drops the gun on the street*.)

**Policeman 1:** Put it there.

**Gavin:** Listen, this has nothing to do with me.

**Policeman 1:** Stay there.

**Gavin:** Oh, thank God...

**Tariq:** No...

(*The second policeman maces Gavin*.)

**Gavin:** (*Covers his eyes*.) Oh, what'd you do that for?!

(*The two policemen grab Gavin*.)

**Tariq:** Shit!

**Gavin:** AH! Oh, it burns! (*The policemen tackle Gavin to the ground*.) It burns! It burns!

**Policeman 2:** Get down!

**Tariq:** No! No, guys!

**Gavin:** I can't see! (*Cries out as the first policeman handcuffs him*.)

**Tariq:** G-Get off him, you!

**Policeman 2:** Don't struggle.

**Tariq:** You've got the wrong guy!

**Policeman 1:** Get back! Stay back!
