Opening scene of episode 2 of Jago's Watch

Formerly known here as all ages and stripes, now Jago's Watch (thanks to all who aided me in creating a new title), this is the opening scene to my second episode, the very first draft of Break Away, in which an outside company are brought in to train the guards in restraint and control. Here, the man on the gate for the day is left as babysitter of two of another guards step children.

please enjoy!

EMLYN "FABIO" ROBERTS, IS SAT DOWN WITH HIS LEGS CROSSED LOOKING VERY COMFORTABLE. IN RUSHES TOMMY TEMPLE FLUSTERED, FABIO HAS NO IDEA WHY.

FABIO
Oh hi Tommy. Shouldn't you be over in the venue by now?

TOMMY

FABIO
Really, I love surprises, what is it then?

TOMMY
Well, don't freak!
(Calls outside)
In here!

JACK MASON AND MEG MASON, 12 YEAR OLD TWINS, BOTH VERY ATTRACTIVE AND TRENDY WALK INTO THE GATEHOUSE. FABIO LOOKS LIKE HE HAS SEEN A GHOST.

FABIO
Absolutely not!

TOMMY
Look, what choice have I got? It's an inset day and me ma's laid up with her lumbago.

FABIO
(Clutching at straws)
Well shouldn't they be looking after her then?
(Rustles Meg's hair)
Little sweethearts.

TOMMY
She's in the Royal. Em, they're not bad kids, you won't even know they're here.

FABIO
But I do know! Tommy I'm already swamped!

TOMMY
You're chatting shit! Later kids, be good for your uncle Emlyn.

TOMMY TURNS ON HIS HEEL BEFORE EMLYN GETS ANY FURTHER CHANCE TO PROTEST.

FABIO
(With a twinkle in his eye)
So kids, milk and cookies?

ELWOOD, KIM, HEATH, DOM, JARVIS, TOMMY

ELWOOD, KIM, HEATH, DOM, AND JARVIS ARE SAT ABOUT WAITING TO BE CALLED INTO FOLEY'S TO COMMENCE RESTRAINT AND ORDER COURSE.

DOM
I can't wait to get started, dya think they'll be long?

HEATH
Could be all day if Lonnie has started gabbing.

ELWOOD
You wanna watch he doesn't hear ya bud.

HEATH
I'd love him to, I'd die happy if he'd hit me just once. Dya think he'd gimme a slap for me birthday?

KIM
What on earth are you going on about?

ELWOOD
Ha-ha, he's got a thing 'bout power, ex-cops like Lonnie drive him crazy.

KIM
(To Heath)
You sick sod!

JARVIS
Does anybody know exactly what today entails?

DOM
'Cording to their site, there'll be a bit of legal and a practical.

JARVIS
Marvellous.

KIM
So, why now?

DOM
Wha' dya mean?

KIM
You lot 'ave never needed badges before.

HEATH
(All serious)
It's getting worse girl. More trouble every week, this is designed to keep us safe.

ELWOOD
Stop winding her up.
(To Kim)
Franco's just trying to prove to Jago how valuable we are, and better qualified means more cash in his coffers.

JARVIS
(Looking over print outs provided by Dom)
So be sure you all pass.

ELWOOD
We will.

KIM
Even Barney?

HEATH
He can't even pass a ball. Where is he anyway?

ELWOOD
In Foley's with Franco, trying to charm his way out of it I bet.

HEATH
He can turn it on all he wants, if the guv's seeing pound signs he won't hesitate to cull the herd.

KIM
You reckon?

HEATH
Trust me, I'm a doctor.

TOMMY POKES HIS HEAD OUT OF FOLEY'S BARS WOODEN SWING DOORS.

TOMMY
Come 'ed soft lads, and you tatty head, we're waiting for ya.

KIM
Who you calling tatty head, peg leg?

ELWOOD
(To Heath)
Fitting right in isn't she?

CUT TO:

Glad you settled on a catchy title, I understand you are trying to introduce the characters but I was unsure why you set the scene at the gate with the kids arriving but it ends without any action.. does this scene continue? The control and restraint course (Ive been on one of those!) should provide a few laughs so I'll hold out to read more, but Its not really grabbing me yet Im afraid.

I think you want to up your gag rate Al particularly in the first scene. As it is it is coming across more comedy/drama than sitcom. but that might be what you are after? Some brief descriptions of the characters would help the reader visualise them too, get a sense of who they are. Good title you plumped for.

s'belle, the idea was to keep returning to the gate, with the kids learning how to run it and eventually doing fabios job for him whilst he sits with his feet up.

Marc, I suppose it is more comedy drama, I have a phoenix nights/royle family thing going on in my head, do remember please that this is the first draft of this episode, hopefully the pace will quicken up.

i will write and post some short bios when I have time, help ppl get to know the characters a little better, of which there are many, but only a few main ones.

thanks for the comments and positive feedback on the title!

Cheers Al, comedy drama is a hard sell mind you, but it's good to get a first draft written as you say and then punch it up. I wouldn't have too many characters in a pilot if I were you, just concentrate on the main ones is usually best. Best of luck with it.

INT. FOLEY'S BAR [09.30]
FRANCO, JARVIS, TOMMY, ELWOOD, HEATH, KIM, BYRON, BARNEY

FRANCO
G'day you lot.

FRANCO
Glad you made it in Jarvis, how's your mother?

JARVIS
You know, the grass is always greener on TV.

FRANCO
Elwood, next time you have a week off, have your post directed to yours instead of my gate.

TOMMY
Yeah, we've a sequin glove, a fedora hat, and a copy of Michael Jackson's death certificate over there.

ELWOOD
I wish you wouldn't open my mail.

FRANCO
Oh stop your squawking, nothing important is it? Anyway people, grab a pad and a pen from Lonnie and sit yourselves down. Where's Heath? The lazy sod.

HEATH
Good morning, sir.

FRANCO
Hear that, manners cost nowt. You been a good boy this weekend?

HEATH
Nope, I ate some ones child.

KIM
You are sick in the head.

HEATH
Ha-ha, gotcha! No boss, of course I was a good boy.

FRANCO
I'm glad to hear it. So we're all here, I'll hand over to Byron, he'll be leading the course today, so show some appreciation please.

APPLAUSE AS FRANCO SITS, AND BYRON SHARP, 55 TAKES TO THE FRONT OF THE ROOM.

Hi folks, cheers Franco. I'm Byron Sharp, former Sergeant Major in the Paras. I served in the Falklands and in the first Gulf war. I will provide you with basic knowledge of the law in relation to physical restraint, we will also look to cover how to minimize the risk of restraint through compliance with regulations. I will help to develop your skills and knowledge, to enable you to apply non harmful methods of control.

BARNEY
No way. You were a Sergeant Major? Look at you.

ELWOOD, KIM AND HEATH ARE TRYING NOT TO LAUGH BEHIND THEIR HANDS. BARNEY APPEARS NOT TO HAVE PICKED UP ON THE SPEECH IMPEDIMENT WHICH BYRON IS OBVIOUSLY AFFLICTED BY.

FRANCO
(Putting his foot down)

Find a partner now all of you. We are about to begin work on unarmed combat.

THERE ARE WHOOPS OF EXCITEMENT. LONNIE PAIRS WITH KIM, HEATH WITH TOMMY, FRANCO WITH JARVIS, AND ELWOOD WITH A PISSED LOOKING BARNEY. DOM IS LEFT STANDING ALONE.

BYRON (CONT'D)
The first rule of unarmed combat is?

BARNEY
That you should never talk about it?
(Fiddling with mobile phone)

BYRON
Very funny Barney, but no. The first rule of unarmed combat is that you should never, if at all possible, be taken by surprise.

FRANCO
So always be alert. Barney, Barney!

BARNEY
Huh?

FRANCO
Gimme that phone!

BYRON
Here is a list of moves that all of you should know.
(Hands out paperwork)

DOM
I've already got one Byron mate, printed it out at home.

BYRON
You've been researching my course, good, a little odd, but good.

FRANCO
Number one on the list is, Jarvis?

JARVIS
The stamp to the foot Franco.

FRANCO
Number two,
(Looking amongst guards)
Lonnie?

LONNIE
The kick to the back of the shin, and the claw to the groin.

FRANCO
Yes, Heath number three?

HEATH
Finger thrust to the eye boss.

FRANCO
Next Tommy?

TOMMY
The iron knife.

FRANCO
Kim?

KIM
Defence against a strangle.

FRANCO
And Elwood?

ELWOOD
Defence when on the ground.

BYRON
Cheers Franco, now it's clear that you can all read, is everybody comfortable to continue? Now these moves are for when you will have to defend yourselves without a weapon.

FRANCO
Which is always!

BYRON
Of course. This is very useful if you are ever caught from behind, and it is particularly effective if you are wearing boots.

FRANCO
That reminds me, for health and safety reasons, Miss Wenna has suggested that all remove our shoes for these exercises.

ALL STAFF INCLUDING BYRON REMOVE THEIR FOOTWEAR.

BYRON
You heard the man, so taking your partner, Dom, who are you with?

DOM
I thought I could go with you Byron.

BYRON
Er, okay. Now attackers stand behind your victims, locking your arms around your partner, pinning their arms to their sides. Excellent Lonnie, very tight grip.
(Takes hold of Dom from behind)
Okay Dom, let me know if I am holding you too tight.

DOM
I'm fine Byron, I've been looking forward to this all day.

BYRON
You, the victims, will simply raise your leg.

BARNEY
Which one?

BYRON
It doesn't matter which one, you will raise your leg and smash your heel down on top of your attackers foot. If done hard enough, this will force your attacker to loosen his or her grip. When this happens you may flee. Now folks, if you wait...

ELWOOD
Aaarrrggghhh! You pinhead! I wasn't ready!

BARNEY
Behave you wuss.

FRANCO
Alright Elwood?

BARNEY
He'll live.

FRANCO
Shut up you!

ELWOOD
(Hobbling about in circles)
I'm okay, I'm okay, carry on.

BYRON
You sure, okay. Are we ready victims? One, two, three. Stomp! And flee. Great work.

FRANCO
Well guys and doll, wasn't that fun?

TOMMY
I think Lonnie enjoyed himself.

KIM
Me too. I'm gonna be his victim forever, come and grab hold grandad.

BARNEY
You are filthy!

KIM
Jealous are we? Wanna grab me by my lovely lady lumps?

BYRON
Your lady lumps are more than lovely Kim, but we have a back kick to the shin to be getting on with.

LONNIE
(Excitedly)
And a claw to the groin.

KIM
Just wait for it old man!

HEATH
I'm gonna tell your Issy 'bout this Lonnie.

LONNIE
(Panicky)
No, don't! I'm only just allowed back in the big bed after..
