The Block Knows My Name

SCENE 1

Bar Nun Returns

Riverdale Houses courtyard, after midnight, dim streetlights — A Black man in his late 40s, Bar Nun, strides under streetlights; residents peek from windows and doorways, faces tense and wary.

SCENE 2

The SUV Lurks

Riverdale Houses driveway, moments later, dark with flickering neon — A large, black SUV with its headlights off creeps down the driveway behind Bar Nun, its windows up and sinister.

SCENE 3

Shots Fired

Riverdale Houses basketball court, seconds later, emergency lights blinking red — Gunfire flashes from an alley as Bar Nun and others dive behind benches, people scatter and a child’s toy spins alone on the ground.

SCENE 4

Reeling After the Gunshots

Riverdale Houses stairwell, immediately after, echoing with distant sirens — Bar Nun crouches beside June, who shakes uncontrollably, while Mel peers nervously over the stairwell rail.

SCENE 5

Questions in the Shadows

Riverdale Houses lobby, moments later, buzzing overhead lights — Miss Liza leans heavily on her cane, blocking Bar Nun’s path, her face serious as she catches his eye.

SCENE 6

The Threatening Call

Riverdale Houses rooftop, minutes later, city lights flickering — Bar Nun stands alone, his phone glowing in his hand as he receives a call, tension etched on his face.

SCENE 7

Twist: Evidence Found

Riverdale Houses stairwell, right after, stark fluorescent light above — Bar Nun notices a black glove with a red stitched symbol sticking out of June’s jacket pocket, June glancing away nervously.
