EXT. NEW HAVEN - DAY  
  
A bustling metropolis, NEW HAVEN, thrives under the sun. High-tech skyscrapers soar, bustling streets filled with PEOPLE and HOVER CARS zipping by. Laughter and chatter fill the air, but an ominous HUM begins to grow louder.  
  
SUPER: “NEW HAVEN - 3 DAYS BEFORE MARTIAL LAW”  
  
EXT. NEW HAVEN - CITY SQUARE - DAY  
  
Crowds gather as a NEWS REPORTER, LILA THOMPSON (30s, sharp-eyed and determined), stands before a live camera, her voice steady.  
  
                              LILA  
               (into camera)  
          Citizens of New Haven, we face an unprecedented threat   
          as an unknown army approaches our city. Authorities urge   
          calm, but I urge you to prepare.  
  
Suddenly, SIRENS blare. A convoy of MILITARY TRUCKS rolls through the streets, causing panic.   
  
EXT. NEW HAVEN - BACK ALLEY - DAY  
  
ALEX CARTER (40s, rugged, eyes filled with regret), leans against a building, observing the chaos. He pulls out a PHONE, scrolling through military intel.  
  
                              ALEX  
               (muttering)  
          Not again...  
  
DANTE RHODES (30s, street-smart, with a cocky grin) approaches, eyebrow raised.  
  
                              DANTE  
          You got a death wish, Carter? Or just enjoying the show?  
  
                              ALEX  
          This isn’t a show, Dante. It’s a disaster waiting to happen.  
  
Dante leans closer, sensing urgency.  
  
                              DANTE  
          You have a plan?  
  
                              ALEX  
          We need to gather intel... and fast.  
  
EXT. NEW HAVEN - UNDERGROUND GARAGE - DAY  
  
MAYA CHEN (20s, tech-savvy, eyes sharp) works on a holographic display, surrounded by high-tech gadgets. She glances up, intrigued as ALEX and DANTE enter.  
  
                              MAYA  
          What’s the good word?  
  
                              DANTE  
          The city's about to become a war zone.   
          We need your tech skills.  
  
MAYA’s fingers fly over the controls.  
  
                              MAYA  
          I’m in. But we need an inside man.  
  
EXT. NEW HAVEN - ROOFTOP - DAY  
  
LILA observes the street below through binoculars. She sees the MILITARY TRUCKS unloading ARMORED SOLDIERS.  
  
                              LILA  
               (into radio)  
          We have eyes on the enemy. They’re mobilizing.  
  
                              ALEX (O.S.)  
          Good work, Lila. We need to move.  
  
Lila nods, determination in her eyes.  
  
EXT. NEW HAVEN - CITY SQUARE - DAY  
  
ALEX, DANTE, MAYA, and LILA converge, forming a tight circle. Tension hangs in the air.  
  
                              ALEX  
          Here’s the plan: we break into the enemy's supply lines,   
          gather intel, and hit them where it hurts.  
  
                              MAYA  
          I can create a diversion using their own tech against them.  
  
                              DANTE  
          And I know a few shortcuts to get us in and out.  
  
LILA raises her chin, fierce.  
  
                              LILA  
          Count me in. We need to expose Kael for what he is.  
  
ALEX studies their faces, seeing determination shining through.  
  
                              ALEX  
          Then let’s do this. For New Haven.  
  
The group nods in agreement, adrenaline surging.  
  
                                                      CUT TO:  
  
EXT. NEW HAVEN - ENEMY CAMP - NIGHT  
  
Shadows dance as the group stealthily approaches the enemy camp, cloaked in darkness.   
  
                              DANTE  
               (whispers)  
          Remember, stick to the shadows.  
  
They move like phantoms, eyes focused. An ENEMY GUARD turns, spotting them.  
  
                              GUARD  
          Hey!   
  
The group springs into action!  
  
                                                      CUT TO BLACK.  
  
                                                               FADE OUT.

EXT. STREETS OF LONDON - DAY  
  
A bustling street in South London. The camera sweeps over a collage of life: PEOPLE rushing to work, SHOPKEEPERS setting up stalls, and CHILDREN laughing.   
  
In this vibrant chaos, we find LIAM ROBERTSON (22), slight and anxious, sitting on a filthy curb with a worn backpack. He’s watching the world go by, eyes filled with longing.  
  
GARY LORD (33), scruffy and gaunt, shuffles up beside him, searching his pockets. He pulls out a crumpled packet of cigarettes.  
  
                           GARY  
                (offering a cigarette)  
          You want one?   
  
                           LIAM  
                (shakes his head)  
          Not today, thanks.  
  
Gary shrugs, lighting one for himself, the flames reflecting a moment of warmth.   
  
JAMES GRACE (50), a disheveled former academic, approaches, clutching a tattered book. His eyes, once bright with intellect, now dull with despair.  
  
                           JAMES  
          Did you know the average person   
          walks past seven homeless people   
          before breakfast?  
  
Liam glances at James, intrigued.   
  
                           LIAM  
          Is that a fact or a quote?  
  
                           JAMES  
          A fact. A sad one.   
  
MIKE WARD (42), a large man with a tough exterior but tired eyes, arrives, carrying a small bag of food. He notices the gathering.  
  
                           MIKE  
          (to James)  
          You reading statistics again?   
  
                           JAMES  
          Just trying to make sense of it all.  
  
Mike hands a sandwich to Liam, who hesitates but then accepts it gratefully.  
  
                           LIAM  
                (softly)  
          Thank you.  
  
                           MIKE  
          It’s nothing. We're in this together.  
  
Liam takes a bite, and momentarily, the weight of the world lifts.   
  
                           GARY  
          (exhales smoke)  
          You know, I miss the warmth of   
          my bed... even if it was lumpy   
          and full of bedbugs.  
  
                           JAMES  
          (scoffs)  
          A bed is a luxury most can’t afford   
          on these streets.  
  
The mood shifts. A moment of silence settles on the group, each lost in their thoughts.   
  
                           LIAM  
          (breaking the silence)  
          Do you ever think it’ll get better?   
  
                           MIKE  
          (firmly)  
          It has to. We just gotta keep   
          pushing through.  
  
                           GARY  
          (sarcastically)  
          Sure, until the next day comes   
          and we wake up in the same place.  
  
                           JAMES  
          (earnestly)  
          It's not about where we wake up;   
          it’s about what we do while we’re awake.  
  
Liam looks up, their eyes meeting. A flicker of hope passes between them.   
  
                           LIAM  
          (smiling faintly)  
          You know, you’re not as hopeless as you look, James.  
  
                           JAMES  
          (returning the smile)  
          And you’re not as naïve as you seem, Liam.  
  
Suddenly, a LOUD CRASH from across the street interrupts them. A BUSKER’s guitar has fallen, scattering coins. The group watches as passersby ignore the chaos.  
  
                           MIKE  
          (gritting his teeth)  
          Every day, the same...   
  
                           LIAM  
          (determined)  
          We can’t let them forget us.   
  
The group turns to LIAM, inspired.   
  
                           MIKE  
          (nodding)  
          Then let’s make some noise.  
  
They rise, united, moving towards the sound of the busker, ready to reclaim their place in a world that tries to overlook them.  
  
                                                           FADE OUT.

EXT. STREETS OF LONDON - DAY  
  
The sun casts a dim light over a graffiti-laden wall. A chilly breeze rustles through the deserted alleyways. A group of BEGGARS huddle together for warmth, their faces etched with despair.  
  
LIAM ROBERTSON (22, slender, vibrant but weary) sits against a cold brick wall, clutching a worn-out backpack. He stares blankly at a passing couple, their laughter echoing in the air.  
  
                         LIAM  
               (to himself)  
               Must be nice...  
  
GARY LORD (33, gaunt, with sunken eyes) approaches, a slight tremor in his hands. He digs into his jacket, pulling out a crumpled ten-pound note.  
  
                         GARY  
               (a hint of hope)  
               Found this in a jacket. Think it’s enough for something warm?  
  
LIAM looks at GARY, their eyes meet. GARY’s smile is fragile, revealing the desperation behind it.  
  
                         LIAM  
               (softly)  
               Maybe. Coffee’s better than nothing.  
  
Suddenly, JAMES GRACE (50, disheveled but dignified) stumbles into view, carrying a bag filled with books. He stops, glances at the duo, and offers a slight nod of acknowledgment.  
  
                         JAMES  
               (to GARY)  
               Coffee won’t solve your problems, you know.  
  
GARY bristles at the comment, defensive.  
  
                         GARY  
               (sarcastic)  
               Brilliant insight, mate. Thanks for that.  
  
JAMES straightens up, his age showing in the lines on his face.   
  
                         JAMES  
               (calmly)  
               I’m just saying—sometimes, it’s the little things that mean the most.   
  
Across the street, MIKE WARD (42, rugged, tattoos peeking from under his sleeves) watches the interaction from a distance. He hesitates, then strides over, his presence commanding yet weary.  
  
                         MIKE  
               (gruffly)  
               What’s this, a support group?   
  
                         LIAM  
               (smirks)  
               More like a coffee committee.  
  
MIKE smirks, but there’s a heaviness in his eyes.  
  
                         MIKE  
               (pauses)  
               Just trying to get through the day, same as the rest of us.   
  
                         JAMES  
               (earnestly)  
               It's more than just surviving, Mike. We need to find a way to live.  
  
                         GARY  
               (snorts)  
               Live? What’s that even mean anymore?  
  
The air thickens with tension. LIAM shifts, visibly uncomfortable.   
  
                         LIAM  
               (tentatively)  
               Living... feels like a distant memory.   
  
Silence falls as each man ponders their shared reality. A moment later, LIAM pulls out a half-eaten granola bar, offering it to the group.   
  
                         LIAM  
               (fragile optimism)  
               Anyone want to share?  
  
They look at the bar, then at each other. A spark of camaraderie ignites.  
  
                         MIKE  
               (taking the bar)  
               I’ll take a piece.   
  
                         JAMES  
               (nodding)  
               Together, then.   
  
LIAM watches as the rough edges of their lives soften, even if just for a moment.  
  
                         LIAM  
               (smiling)  
               Together.  
  
FADE OUT.

EXT. STREETS OF LONDON - DAY  
  
A chilly spring morning blankets the busy streets of South London. The sounds of rushing feet, distant sirens, and honking horns fill the air. Graffiti-stained walls and littered alleyways tell a story of neglect.  
  
LIAM (22), a slender young man with a colorful scarf and an air of defiance, sits on the pavement with a tattered blanket wrapped around him. He watches the world pass by, his eyes reflecting both hope and despair.   
  
Across the street, GARY (33), disheveled and twitchy, is rummaging through a dumpster. His hands shake. He pulls out a crushed empty can and tosses it aside in frustration.  
  
                   LIAM  
          (calling out)  
          Found anything worth keeping, Gary?  
  
GARY turns, eyes dark, a flash of anger surfacing.  
  
                   GARY  
          (sneering)  
          You think this is a bloody treasure hunt?  
  
LIAM shrugs, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.   
  
                   LIAM  
          Just trying to lighten the mood.  
  
JAMES (50), a once-proud academic with a weathered face, approaches slowly, carrying a few worn books under one arm. He looks at LIAM and GARY, shaking his head.  
  
                   JAMES  
          (sighs)  
          You two should consider a career in comedy...  
  
GARY huffs, returning to his search, while LIAM offers JAMES an inviting smile.  
  
                   LIAM  
          (gentle)  
          Any luck with those?  
  
JAMES glances down at the books, his eyes softening momentarily.  
  
                   JAMES  
          (reflective)  
          Just reminders of a life that feels like a dream now.  
  
MIKE (42), rugged and imposing, appears from the shadows of an alleyway, the lines on his face etched with pain and regret. He surveys the scene, then approaches the group.  
  
                   MIKE  
          (firmly)  
          Time to gather supplies. We need to eat.  
  
GARY scoffs, his anger bubbling beneath the surface.  
  
                   GARY  
          (sarcastic)  
          And what do you propose we do, Mike? Charm the pigeons?  
  
LIAM jumps in, sensing tension.  
  
                   LIAM  
          (softly)  
          Let’s focus, guys. We can make it through today.  
  
JAMES nods, scribbling in a battered notebook.   
  
                   JAMES  
          (earnestly)  
          Every day is a new page, isn’t it?  
  
The group falls silent for a moment, lost in their thoughts.   
  
                   MIKE  
          (breaking the silence)  
          We can't let the streets write our story for us.   
  
GARY looks at MIKE, a hint of vulnerability creeping in.  
  
                   GARY  
          (quietly)  
          And what if I don’t want to write anymore?  
  
LIAM leans forward, his voice steady and soothing.  
  
                   LIAM  
          (encouraging)  
          Then let us help you find your words again.  
  
GARY’s eyes flicker, unsure. The sound of a nearby bus breaks the moment, and the group turns their attention to the bustling world passing by.  
  
                   JAMES  
          (pointing)  
          Look, there’s a community center down the road. They might have something for us.  
  
MIKE straightens up, determination in his gaze.  
  
                   MIKE  
          (nodding)  
          Then let’s go. Together.  
  
They rise as one, united in their struggle, and begin to walk down the street, their shadows blending into the grey landscape of South London.  
  
FADE OUT.
