Script draft

Possible opening sequence:

Arthur Foster (we don't know it's him) is lying on the floor dead.  (Arranged as if he committed suicide) - pills and hip flask lying next to him. Jimmy Fox narrates over it. "Arthur Foster was a good man. We didn't know it back then. I wish we had. [ cut to a view of Goerge tlking at camera - dark background](pause) This is the story of the Phoenix affair"

Title of movie appearing

[Chronological beginning of the movie]

The head teacher (Arthur Foster) opens a letter with a logo of Goldstein-liebgott on it and the content of the letter is that their displeased with his refusal for the sale of school grounds. Close ups "we're disappointed" cut to "by your rejection". He turns around and picks up betting slips from his desk and rips them up. He takes a hip flask out of a drawer - drinks from it. 

Cut to a view of Jimmy Fox going to his school and the atmosphere in the school being very calm and nice. (Possibly a scene of students having fun in the school grounds.) Jimmy meeting up with friends (hackers) discussing the project (put the blame on Foster for stealing money) and saying that they're ready to put it into motion. Jimmy calling someone (His father) saying that "it's started" as the hackers walk away. 

Foster coming out from building looks Jimmy. Jimmy a distance from Foster jimmy being singlled out. eye-line match with Foster, him looking intensely at Jimmy. Jimmy looking back evily
