Episode One - BLUE AMENDS - 17/10/12
17.
Thomas is privately amused and retorts instantly... THOMAS There are nights I wish you had. A pause. Perhaps Freddie understands how those nights feel. Finally... FREDDIE (To business) So you don’t know anything about a robbery that would trouble Mr Churchill? Thomas swigs his beer. THOMAS Freddie, I prefer to drink alone. Freddie studies him but before he can speak a figure walks past the frosted glass behind them. First Thomas, then Freddie, turn and they both recognize the man at the same time. THOMAS/FREDDIE Ah shit. Harry has seen the figure approaching the door too and he reacts with alarm. HARRY Ah, not again. He dashes behind the bar... HARRY (CONT’D) Take cover! It’s Danny Whizz Bang! Everyone reacts. Suddenly the pub door flies open and DANNY WHIZZ-BANG enters. Danny is a barrel of a man, short but wide and round and full of muscle. His face is crimson with rage and he immediately grabs a chair and hurls it across the pub. As everyone scatters, he becomes a one-man whirlwind and begins to smash glasses and knock over chairs. Thomas and Freddie swap a half amused glance before silently resolving to act. They put down their drinks in unison. They approach Danny from either side, and in restraining the madman, we see that they are used to working together in violent situations. Freddie takes Danny’s attention as Thomas grabs him from behind. Freddie dives forward and grabs Danny’s legs, upending him. Danny kicks and flails but Thomas falls on him face down. Now Thomas is lying on top of Danny, their faces close. Thomas hisses in Danny’s ear.
