an estate corridor where Jenny Walsh is about to light a cigarette over the
railings. She receives a phone call and subsequently drops her cigarette. The

waiting tables in two hours. She sighs and returns back into her flat. The
camera cuts to Jay Pierce getting off the tube, and leaving the station.
The camera

trains leaving for Bristol temple meads and the camera moves back to Jay whose
gotten off a bus where the camera focuses up at a tower block. He walks down an
alleyway towards a man holding a briefcase, as he comes towards the man Jay is approached
from behind. A gun is drawn from to his head. He’s told to get on the ground and
drop the bag. He starts to bellow and contemplates why he made the decision to
go ahead with the plan. He knew that he would be set up or that undercover cops
would arrest him, and as he lies on the ground the bag is searched. Small
capsules containing white powder are discovered. He’s told to cover his eyes as
he would be killed however the contents of the brief case containing the money
is dropped on the floor as he begs for his life and the bag containing the
drugs is taken. The dealer’s leave and one of them states “my boy needs a
schoolbag” and the two proceed away laughing. He gets up looks around and begins
to shove the money into his jacket.

the flat. Jay drops the 500,000k onto the table and smiles declaring that he’s
got the money to pay the loan shark for next week, she smiles as well but calls
him idiot for walking around with such a large sum of money cash. She is hit
for mocking him but he is quick to say sorry and declares that they go and
celebrate. He takes a shower and this gives Jenny a opportunity to leave, she
takes the money and looks at a picture of the two and exits the flat, however
she forgot that she had saved the details of her escape plan on the laptop. Jay
finishes his shower and realizes that she has left with the money. He throws a
violent tantrum and begins to kick his clothes. Meanwhile Jenny is at
