SOUTH LONDON STREET - NIGHT Two drug gang members, VINNY and JULES, both in their late 20s and clad in street-smart leather and jeans, walk briskly down a graffiti-covered alley. They're deep in conversation about the morality of their lifestyle. VINNY You ever think about getting out, Jules? This life... it's eat or be eaten. JULES Every man’s got his path, Vin. Me, I’m just walking mine till the end. They approach a rundown flat. Their expressions harden, ready for business. ACT II INT.

BOXING CLUB - NIGHT The place is dimly lit, sweat and anticipation hanging heavy in the air. TERRY, a mid-30s boxer with a tough exterior but contemplative eyes, wraps his hands, preparing for a fight that could change his life. COACH (whispering to Terry) You know the deal, right?

Go down in the fifth. It’s not just about the fight; it’s about what’s waiting outside that ring. Terry nods, his face a mask of mixed emotions, knowing this fight is more about survival outside the ring than inside. ACT III INT.

POLICE CAR - NIGHT Detective HARRY, in his 40s, rugged and intense, sits with his partner, BETH, a sharp-witted and fearless officer in her 30s. They're staking out a suspected drug den, their conversation is a mix of professional and personal. HARRY (holding a photo of a suspect) We take this bloke down tonight, Beth. No more drugs on our streets. BETH Just make sure we do it by the book, Harry. We’re not judges. Harry’s eyes reveal a darker intent, blurring the lines between law and vengeance. ACT IV INT.

SEEDY FLAT - NIGHT The atmosphere is tense as Vinny and Jules burst in, guns drawn, confronting a group of drug dealers. The room is a mess, syringes and cash strewn about. JULES (to Dealers) We're here for what’s ours. Don't make this messy. A scuffle ensues, chaotic and violent, but Vinny and Jules come out on top, their bond and brutality clear. ACT V EXT. BOXING CLUB - NIGHT (AFTER THE FIGHT) Terry, bruised and battered from not going down in the fifth, stumbles out of the club. He knows he’s marked by the drug lords now. As he walks, he spots Harry and Beth waiting by their car. TERRY (panicking) You gotta help me. They’re gonna kill me! Harry steps forward, his demeanor sinister. HARRY You’ve got bigger problems, son. We saw the fight. Time to pay up. Fear grips Terry as he realizes the police are not his salvation but his doom. EPILOGUE INT.

DINER - DAY Vinny and Jules, now out of the game, reflect on their past as they see a news report about a corrupt police officer being arrested. JULES (looking at Vinny) We got out, Vin. That’s the real win. They sip their coffee, the city’s gritty reality continuing outside, but with a sense of new beginnings for them both. FADE OUT.
