A man signs out of a rehab centre, walks out and sits at the busstop.
Day dreams to when he was in a warzone in the army,
He is sitting there with a friend in a foxhole, they are both eating out of mess tins,
Both look rough
It is obvious that they are friends, they share a joke, he shows the other soldier a photo of his wife. He looks sad at the picture,
Other man says “mate, are you alright?”
it fades out to an old man at the bus stop saying the same thing. We realise he has said this because the bus has arrived.
We see him sit down on the bus and rest his head against the window. He pulls sits down and pulls something out of his pocket, we realise it is the same picture, looking a bit tatered and torn.
We see it a lot darker and the bus pulls up to a bus stop, we see the man get off, he looks around, very unhappy, and shuffles his jumper up because he is cold.
We see him start to walk towards a council estate.
We see him come in the front door of the house, and a woman looks at him, wanting to say something, but she can’t (she obviously has affections for him.) drop his stuff down and go and sit in the kitchen, while it Is still very dark. He puts his bag down and pours himself a drink, some leaflets fall out of a bag and we see they are for alcoholism.
He takes a swig, and puts his head in his hands. Next to him we zoom into a picture of him and his friend, with a poppy and a cross next to it…
He is on patrol with his friend, he is the section commander, and his friend is seen just over his shoulder. We then see a truck and some of the enemy getting out. He gives the signal to crouch down and he observes them more, they seem to be having an argument.
He looks around at his friend and they nod at each other.
The 8 men attack and they soon realise it is an ambush. And they get overcome with the enemy, we see two soldiers get shot and go down. We see our main character get wounded in the leg, he goes to the floor. And he’s looking around for his friend, his friend runs to him, “hold tight, I’ll go get the truck… we’re getting out of here!”
We see him run into the croud and havoc, (everything goes in and our of focus,) a large explosion is heard and a bright light is seen, everything goes quiet…
We see the girl outside the flat, she rings the door bell,
We can see her silhouette through the door.
She waits for a bit, knocks again, hesitates and then just walks away.
