EXT. VARIOUS D4 LOCATIONS - DAY

Establishing shots of Dublin 4s more picturesque localesand locals, over the following v/o, delivered in rich,authoritative tones.

NARRATOR (V/O)

Dublins Southside. City within acity. Island within an island. Apocket of breathable air within aswamp of total fucking knack, like.But paradise comes at a cost;eternal vigilance, plus green fees.

A graphic depicting a map of Dublin appears on screen. Anarmy of animated hoodies begin jittering their way south.

NARRATOR (V/O)The only thing standing between usand them are the guys and girls of

D4ORCE.

With a loud clang, a strap bearing the words D4ORCE slamsacross the screen from left to right, bisecting the cityalong the river. The animated hoodies gyrate wildly,bouncing off the barrier.

The words SOUTHSIDE PATROL fade in across the southern halfof the map.

EXT. LANSDOWNE ROAD STATION - CUSTOMS DESK - DAY

Establishing shots of passengers alighting at Lansdowne RoadStation, occasionally focusing on their bags etc.

We cut to a handheld, documentary-style shot of LOUISE, asevere-looking young woman positioned at a customs deskoutside the station.

NARRATOR (V/O)Officer Louise McManus has been onthe force for three years.

A passenger walks into frame, placing her bag on the customs

desk. Close on Louises face, tilting down to her handsrifling through the bag, and panning left to capture thepassengers responses.

LOUISEAnything in here I should knowabout? Any Foot Locker receipts,medical cards? Can I see yourpilates membership?

This is proffered with a smile; Louise inspects it, hands itback and returns the passengers bag. The passenger exitsframe as Louises two-way radio crackles into life.

NARRATOR (V/O)But for Louise, a routine day isabout to turn sinister.

D4ORCE OFFICER (O/S)All units, all units. Code 6. Thisis not a drill.

Louise freezes. Blood drains from her face as she shoots apetrified look into camera, before vaulting the table,brushing the cameraman aside and bolting away. The camerarights itself and follows her...

NARRATOR (V/O)Code 6 is the call every D4ORCEofficer dreads. It means Aslan

singer Christy Dignam has beenidentified in the vicinity.

...until she reaches a set of double doors and races down acorridor (this can be a separate location, disguised by awhip-pan).

INT. CORRIDOR - DAY

Chasing Louise as she hurries along the narrow corridor andbreathlessly addresses the camera over her shoulder.

LOUISEFirst priority...is to makesure...he doesnt sing. Two bars ofCrazy World and this place is gonnabe swimming in Fred Perry andmethadone.

Louise reaches a doorway, and bursts through to reveal...

INT. INTERROGATION ROOM - DAY

A small shack, lit by a single naked bulb or directionaldesk light. On a stiff-backed chair in the middle of thefloor sits CHRISTY DIGNAM, his hands bound, his head coveredwith a Brown Thomas bag. Behind Dignam, a TRANSLATOR isvisible.

We come to a halt and Louise, nervous and excited but stillin control, paces away from us, striding back and forth infront of the seated figure as she reads him his rights.

We (shakily) zoom close on the translators face, as itslowered to address Dignam.

TRANSLATOR(extremely exaggeratedNorthside accent)

CHRISTY DIGNAM(muffled)

TRANSLATOR(shaking his head)

LOUISE(abruptly and determinedly)

Okay, lets stop fucking around.

SMASH CUT TO

INT. INTERROGATION ROOM - DAY

Close on Dignam, strapped to a steeply-inclined board aswater is poured over his (still-covered) face. He writhesagainst the restraints and cries out in distress, as we tiltup to reveal that Louise is waterboarding him with a bottleof Evian.

LOUISEJust so you know, youre beingmetred for this, you freeloadingcrust-bucket.

Freeze frame on Louise.

NARRATOR (V/O)For apprehending Dignam, LouiseMcManus was awarded the Order ofthe Total Ledge. She now reviewsfish pedicures for the SundayIndependent.
