SCRIPT - DEAD MEN WALKING THE JIMMY GIRO STORY

BY JONATHAN WRAY AND KEVIN MCCAMMON

INT – DARK ROOM

A man sits in the middle of a dark room looking at 10 pictures of 10 men. Audience assume it is Jimmy observing his victims. A slideshow then shows the 10 photos. Blood is covered over the first 3 photos and Jimmy’s eyes are fixed on the 4^th photo. Flashbacks are then shown of the first 3 killings which he executed on his victims. The camera then fades away from the 4^thphoto as Jimmy whispers the persons name in the photograph, Freddy McDoodle.

INT – HARTLEPOOL 6^th FORM COLLEGE – EARLY TUESDAY AFTERNOON

A late male teen is having a conversation and working with a fellow classmate in an almost empty college atrium. Audience can see that the teen is the 4^thvictim on the photograph Jimmy was observing, Freddy.

FREDDY

I can’t be bothered with this man, got too much stuff on me mind with Johnny, Jamie and Kurt missing.

FREDDY’S FRIEND

Oh yeah I heard about that, when did they go missing like?

FREDDY

Since Saturday, I was with them on Friday with 6 of the other lads.

FREDDY’S FRIEND

Out of it like?

FREDDY

Too right haha

In the background of the conversation, Jimmy can be seen in the trees outside the atrium staring at the teen in his comical Scream outfit. Freddy then ends the conversation with his fellow classmate and decides to head off home.

FREDDY

Right mate, I’m off home, cant be bothered with this work

Jimmy looks on then disappears into the trees.

EXT – HARTLEPOOL 6^th FORM COLLEGE/BURN VALLEY

Freddy is walking out of the atrium and continues through the car park to the entrance of Burn Valley. POV shots are used to show that Jimmy is following him. Jimmy looks at the photograph of him one last time. Different shots are used ranging from Tracking shots and long to close up shots when Freddy is walking through the Burn Valley. Freddy has MP3 player headphones on, so he is unaware of the enviroment. When Freddy realizes he needs the toilet, he heads off into the trees for privacy. Jimmy then sneaks up behind him and breaks his leg with a large stick. Freddy then starts to scream in pain.

JIMMY

Yeah! Squeal! Squeal like my brother did! Squeal like a piggy!

FREDDY

WHO THE HELL ARE YOU? HELP!

JIMMY

Time to shut the little piggy up!

Jimmy then slices Freddy’s throat, and wipes the blood off his knife with the photo of Freddy, representing his death. Jimmy then looks at the other photos of the remaining 6 victims.
