INT. PRIVATE MENTAL INSTITUTE (2004)
Jared is sat next to Gillian, he has a photo albumn in his hands, trying to show his mother some family photos.
Jared: This one was taken last year... we went over to the chaueat in France...
Gillian doesnt look at Jared, she continues to stare into space.
Jared: Mom are you going to look or what!?
No response. Jared grabs his mother and shakes her, she turns her head and looks at him motionless.
Jared: You recognise this people dont you mom...?
Gillian shakes her headly slightly.
Jared: You must do! It's your grandchildren mom!!
Gillian continues to shake her head, looking into Jared's eyes, bewildered.
Jared: Lauren...and Will... and me...
Jared starts to get emotional at his mother's lack of rememberance. He quickly flicks trough the pages to an old black and white photograph of a man, taken in the 1950s.
Jared: Ok then...what about this one...you know who this is... please tell me you know who this is mom!?
Gillian: ...Graham...
A slight smile of hapiness and hope appears on Jared's face.
Jared: That's right...Graham...your husband...what do you remember about him mom!?
Gillian:...I can;t... remember...
Jared: (Distressed) But he was your husband mom! You HAVE to remember him!?
Gillian shakes her head once more.
Gillian: (Confused) Who...who are you are?
Jared: (Quivering) I'm Jared.... I'm your son...
Gillian: I...don't have...a son
Jared: (Emotional) Of course you have a bloody son! I'm your bloody son!!
Gillian starts to shake in terror of Jared's anger. The nurse hears the commotion and walks towards the pair.
Nurse: I think it's best that you leave now Mr Ashworth...
Jared: She doesnt even know who I am anymore!!
Nurse: Dont take it to heart Mr Ashworth, it might just be one of her bad days...
Gillian is still shaking in fear.
Jared: My own mother...scared of me... doesn't know who I am... oh what's the point anymore!?
Jared storms off, leaving Gillian alone. Jared leaves the communal room and stops in the coridoor. Tears start to role down his eyes, he whipes them away and pulls out a peice of paper from his pocket.
The paper has the name of Hilary Blackstock on it, along with a mobile phone number. Jared dials the number and puts the phone to his ear.
Jared: Hello Hilary... it's Jared Ashworth... I think it's about time we had that meeting...
Jared fights back the tears, a look of deep seriousness on his face.

Lauren and Will are seated on his bed, he is now dressed in his dressing gown, holding a glass of whiskey that Lauren has just gave him.
Lauren: Well you're the only man I know that's got depressed after wild sex with a busty blonde...
Will: She wasn't my type...
Lauren: She's every man's type...
Will: Not mine, I don't go for the easy tart usually do I...
Lauren holds back what she is thinking about Olivia.
Will: I thought that if I got out that... chatted up a bird... went with her...then something would change inside me...I'd feel better for it...
Lauren: I take it that it didn't then...
Will: I just can't get over Olivia... with all that's happened you'd think I'd hate her, but I don't... I loved her... I still do...
Lauren: She doesnt deserve your love... and you shouldnt give it her Will! There's plenty more tarts like her out there... you need to get yourself a good respectable woman...
Will: I dont want a good respectable woman, I want her...
Lauren: She was a gold digger Will, nothing more, nothing less... you deserve way more than her...I'm never gonna let a woman hurt you like that again...I promise you...
Will: It's too late Lauren... the damage is already done... everywhere i go, everything I do reminds me of her... what is the point of carrying on eh?
Lauren: You're a sucessful barrister, you could pull any woman you wanted...you have your health...good fortune...and me and dad...
Will: You know aswell as I do that me and dad havent been the same since...you know... the wedding day... I just feel so uncomfortable around him...
Lauren: I think you need a break Will, get away from here for a while...
Will: Yeah...I think you could be right... that's just what I need...
Will reflects on this, a slight smile emerging on his face.

INT. FIVE STAR RESTAURAUNT - 2004
A piantist is playing the piano in a quality five star restauraunt. A glamarous red head is sitting down at a table, looking out over the devon clifftops. A close up shows her manicured hands holding a cigarette. She is on the phone.
Red Head: Segal darling... good to hear from you... how are you?.... oh amazing... look I shouldn't be much longer over in the UK... the funeral has been sorted and everything...
Jared Ashworth walks into the restaurant and heads towards the red head.
Red Head: Well mom had a good send off, that's the main thing... anyways I have to go... adios baby.
The Red head snaps her phone shut and places it down.
Jared: Up to your old tricks as usual I see...
Jared sits down, the camera shows the red head: Hilary Blackstock.
Jared: If memory recalls your mother died back in the 80s...
Hilary: I've been telling lies all my life, so why stop now?
Jared laughs at Hilary's joke. Hilary pours them both a glass of champagne.
Hilary: I must say it was a shock to see you call me out of the blue like this...I naturally presumed youd thrown away my number
Jared: I never get rid of a number, never know when you might need it... especially if it's the number of a woman so beautiful as yourself...
Hilary: That line worked along time ago Jared... but I know you... your not just here to flirt with me...
Jared: How observant of you...
Hilary: Well we were bed buddies for a good few years... you tend to pick up on things like that... go on... enlightn me as to why you asked me here...
Jared: Your mutual "friend"... Richard Taylor...
Hilary: (Disgusted) What about him?
Jared: I've let him get away with things for too long... thought it would be best to just leave it...
Hilary: What you mean about your father and...
Jared: It's had such an effect on us all... for so long...and to think he's out there, living his life...I want that man to suffer!
Hilary: There's a time that I'd have shared your hatred... but now...I couldnt give a damn what he did with his life...
Jared: Hilary I need you to do me a big favour...
Hilary: How big?
Jared: As big as they come...I want you to go back to Baymoore and marry Richard...
Hilary chokes on her champagne.
Hilary: Did I just hear you correctly!?
Jared: The pair of us were good together... and now we can work together...get our revenge on that scumbag, for all the heartache he's caused us both! What do you say!?
Hilary: This is pure madness! You are asking for us to rekindle our affair, and for me to remarry Richard!? Are you on drugs or something!?
Jared places his breifcase on the table and opens it, it is filled with crisp bank notes, Hilary's eyebrow raises.
Jared: And plenty more where that came from if you say yes...
Hilary: Intresting proposition...
Jared: So is that a yes then?
Hilary Well how could I possibly refuse?
Jared and Hilary toast the deal, and smile at each other seductivley

EXT. MIAMI HOTEL (2006)
"Miami" by Will Smith is playing as we see various shots of a luxury hotel in Miami. The shots show the sparkling pool, and the beautiful woman lying on deck chairs beside the pool.
Will Ashworth is dressed in a leightweight cream suit, wearing dark shades. He checks out the women as he walks by, getting some admiring looks back.
Will sits down on one of the stools at the circluar bar by the poolside. He orders a drink and stares out at the bikini babes swimming in the pool. The bartender hands Will a drink.
Will: Thanks, how much do I owe you?
Bartender: Nothing, the young lady has paid for it...
The Bartender steps to one side and gestures towards the woman sitting at the other end of the bar, she has long blonde hair, wears shades and is drinking an exotic cocktail. She gives him a breif smile and then stirs her cocktail with a stick. Will picks up his drink and sits down beside her.
Will: Do you mind if I sit down beside you?
Blonde: Be my guest...
Will: Well I can't say I've had many free drinks in my time... so I like you already :p
Blonde: I felt in the mood to buy you a drink...I've been at this bar for the past two weeks and every man I've seen has been some fat yank or a jumped up ****...
Will: I take it I'm neither of those then...
Blonde: Well your not fat...and certainly not american... and judging by that suit you have style...
Will: It's what's beneath the suit that matters...
Blonde: Apparantly so...
Will: Look I'm usually this...erm...forward...but do you want to take these drinks back up to my room?
The blonde gets up and wraps a serong around her waist.
Blonde: I was thinking the exact same thing...
Will gets up and directs her towards his room.
Will: I'm Joe Fletcher by the way...
Blonde: The names Taylor (removes sunglasses) Tanya Taylor...

INT. BELLAMY HOUSE (2006)
Jared is sitting ih his office, he lights a cigar, and takes a deep exhale. He is on the telephone.
Jared: Yes...it's well under way by now Hil... this time next week you and Richard will be married... It's like music to me hears... finally we can get our revenge... okay... i'll speak to you soon...bye...
Lauren walks into the room, carrying the newspaper.
Jared: I wish you'd stop moping around the house like a lost soul...
Lauren: I'm a lady of lesuire...no comitments... but what is a girl to do eh?
Jared: I tell you what you need, a good man in your life... give you something to take your mind off the "boredom".
Lauren: After the last one...no way... It'll be a long time before I trust a man again...
Jared: The right one is probably just around the corner...
Lauren: I suppose so... anyways I'll leave you to your buisnes...there's bound to be something on the TV...
Lauren places the newspaper on the desk, and leaves the room. Jared picks up the newspaper and turns to the buisness section. A large photo of Richard and Nick Taylor is shown, they have smiles on their faces and the accompanying article highlights their financial sucess in Devon.
Jared rips the page out of his paper and holds a lighter to the page. As the page starts to burn he drops it into his ash tray and watches as Richard and Nick burn away into ash.
Jared: You've had your time...now it's mine... it's time to pay...
END OF THICKER THAN WATER

A brilliant final episode Bry! I never thought the blonde was Tanya! And is Will someone else because he said a different name?! Is he under a false identity?! :eek: And Jared put Hilary up to marrying Richard! I can't believe it! :eek: Why does he want revenge?! Brilliant stuff, now i can't wait until Devon Seas returns next week!
-
So what did Richard do to Jared's father then?! And what did he originally do to Hilary?! Ooo the Tanya/Will thing will bug them all - it will be funny to see the looks on their faces when that one comes out.
Great stuff Bry - all ready for the new season of DS now! :cheer:
