Title: NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, JANUARY 2023

EXT. PARKING LOT, LINCOLN FIELD, PHILADELPHIA — EVENING

Frozen tundra. Six frostbitten Eagles fans swill cans of shitty beer as they watch the football game on a 13-inch TV.

The lone woman: KATE THOMPSON (40s, think Kaitlin Olson), a Philly detective who could outdrink and outcurse any Jersey truckdriver. Eagles jacket on, her face is painted green.

KATE: Let’s do our toast: to pop…

They all raise their beer cans. Belt out their dad’s creed-

THE TAILGATE CREW: Fuck the Cowboys!

Guzzle their brews as two ARAMARK workers in ski masks- one tall, one short- amble past. A chubby, baby-faced security guard leads them into the stadium. His nametag reads JERRY…

INT. BACK OFFICE, CONCESSION STAND — 10 MINUTES LATER

… SHEILA RIDDICK (40s, think Tiffany Haddish) a slender, Black vendor stacks bags of money onto a cart. Streetwise on the surface, Sheila’s a hopeless romantic at heart.

She pushes the cart out of the back office, a look of pure dread on her face, like a P-O-W. Something’s wrong here.

Jerry and the two ARAMARK workers await her. A cop tramps by. Sheila wavers, hoping the cop stops- but he treks along…

SHORT ARAMARK GUY: (under his breath) Trust me.

… Figuring she can’t back out now, Sheila flashes a flirty smile- these two know one other- and passes him the cart.

EXT. PARKING LOT, LINCOLN FIELD — 5 MINUTES LATER

The two guys swiftly push the cart towards a white ARAMARK van, past our group of tailgaters. Kate studies the guys…

Notices details no one else would: the ARAMARK logo on the van is a decal, not paint. And the uniforms look official, but they’re replicas. These at not ARAMARK employees.

She bounds to her feet, clenching a beer can.

KATE: Hey! Stop right there- PPD!

The guys heave the cart into the van and hop inside… Kate DASHES toward them as the van SPEEDS away-

BARRELS OVER a beefy man in a 49ers jacket. The tailgaters witness this. Stunned silence. Then, an explosion of CHEERS!

49ERS FAN: (gasping) … Someone call 9-1-1…

The van BOLTS out of the lot. Kate grasps her phone and dials as she DARTS past the wounded fan, splayed on the pavement.

49ERS FAN: … Thank you…

DISPATCHER V.O.: Hey, Thompson! You at the game?

KATE: (into phone, all business) Oh-300 in progress. White Aramark van heading south on Pattison.

Just then, the crowd ROARS. The entire stadium SHAKES.

DISPATCHER V.O.: Woo-hoo!!! Touchdown!!!

Kate gapes at the fleeing van, pained. Crushes her beer can. Plods back to her crew as the 49ers fan staggers to his feet.

49ERS FAN: … Ya know, I-I think I’m okay…

Kate PUNCHES him in the face- knocking him back on his ass.

KATE: Niners suck.
