INT. BACHELOR BOYS' HOUSE - NIGHT
Tom is sat in the living room, aimlessy staring into space, trying to come to terms with recent events. Chris walks into the room and sits down beside Emma and Romeo on the sofa.
Chris: What are you watching the lottery for?
Emma: Waiting for Casualty to come on...
Chris: What d'ya want to watch that drivel for? The death rate on that show is ridiculous...
Romeo: Eh, talking about death...what about poor old Eddie at the B&B...shocking isn't it?
Chris: I know are, letting him die for a couple of peices of jewellery...there's some real scum on this planet...
Tom looks incredibly guilty as they say this, he closes his eyes in despair.
Romeo: I used to feel safe in this neigborhood, but nowadays...
Emma: Sush...the numbers!
Chris: Why? It's not like you have a ticket...
Emma: Yeah I know, but it's tradition like...
Chris gives Emma a funny look as she listens to the numbers being called...
Ball Caller: First up tunight is number 36, last draw 2 weeks ago...next up number 25, followed by....number 7, haven't had that one in a while...
Tom casually pulls the lottery ticket out of his pocket on the off chance, to his amazement numbers 36, 25 and 7 are on the lottery ticket, he leans forward eagerly anticipating the next set of numbers.
Ball Callers: 4th out tonight number 49...followed by number 18, draw three times in the past once...and last of all number 5....and the bonus ball...32...
Tom looks at his ticket, all 5 of the hot pick numbers have come up, he smiles to himself in satisfaction, having won £130,000....
-
:eek::eek: what the hell is going on with Tom.. he was always the sensible one of the batchelor boys, now he owes craig 10K, killed (well didn't help) Eddie and he has won this money with Eddie's lottery ticket (I bet they will know it was Tom cause they are number Eddie used for years)
Charlie, you stupid girl, getting drugs from Craig..
Brilliant work bry..
-
I have to say im loving Charlie i hope she sticks around for a long time.

INT. RED RUM PUBLIC HOUSE - NIGHT
Tom, Romeo, Chris and Emma walk into the pub. Tom looks slighetly worried, but the others are joly and excited over Tom's lottery win. They are singing "We're in the money"
All: We're in the money! Come on my honey! Let's spend it, send it, rolling along!
Everyone looks at them as though they've lost the plot.
Chris: A bottle of champagne please Paddy! We're celebrating!
Patrick: Why had a bit of luck on the geegees?
Romeo: No! Tom's won on the lottery! £130,000!
The room is alight with buzz, as the punters begin discussing this and congratulating him. Annie immediatley jumps up to confront them.
Annie: Say what?
Emma: Tom's won on the lottery! Five numbers on the Hot Picks! £130,000 grand! Aint that great!? :D
Annie snatches the ticket off Emma, they all look at her as if she's mad.
Annie: This is our ticket! That's Eddie's five numbers! You little scumbag! You're the one that robbed our house, and killed Eddie!
Tom: You what...?
Romeo, Chris and Emma immediatley defend Tom.
Romeo: Oi! Just becuase he's got the same numbers as you Annie...
Annie: Funny how our ticket was robbed last night, and then someone else in the same village wins with exactly the same numbers the day after!
Emma: It's just a coincidence Annie!
Chris: Yeah! You're just jealous that he's won...and you...haven't!
Annie: (To Tom) What have you got to say for yourself eh!? You murdering scumbag! Did you rob it!? Eh!?
Tom: No, of course not! Eddie was telling me that he'd worked out these numbers were likely to come up...so you know I took his word for it and gave it a go...
Annie: I don't believe you!
Romeo: Yeah well dya know what, we do, now we're sorry about Eddie and everything but Tom didn't do this, okay!?
Everyone starts talking amongst themselves and giving Annie looks of disgust.
Annie: (To Tom) I'm on to you lad...
Josie: Come on Annie, I think it's best we go...
As the pair leave everyone goes back to talking about Tom's win. Tom takes a nervous gulp and looks very guilty, from across the room Emma spots this, putting two and two together she realises that Annie was right...

INT. RED RUM PUBLIC HOUSE - NIGHT
The pub is a buzz with excitement over Tom's lottery win. In the background the Bachelor Boys are lauging and joking. Amy is stood at the bar, staring into space. Vicky comes over to her.
Vicky: Amy, you alright babe, you seem...lost?
Amy: I was just thinking, you know...about Hayley and the baby and everything...
Vicky: Maybe it's best to...
Amy: How could she do that to me? Take my money and my confidence, my trust...and then betray me and Patrick like that...she knew how much I wanted a baby!
Vicky: I can't believe what she did to you babe...it doesn't bare thinking about does it?
Amy: Yeah well I can't help but keep brining it up...it's driving me mad... it was so cruel and horrid...
Vicky: I can imagine...how as Patrick taken it?
Patrick is in the back hallway, he eavesdrops open hearing his name.
Amy: He's hurt at Hayley's betrayal but as for the child, he doesn't care...I tell you what though Vick', I've never felt so low in my whole life...
Patrick overhear's Amy desperate cry for help, and starts thinking...

EXT. RED RUM PUBLIC HOUSE - NIGHT
Tom is sat outside the pub, at one of the tables, smoking a cigarette and staring out to sea, deep in contemplation. Emma sits down beside him.
Emma: Was she telling the truth?
Tom: What?
Emma: Annie...as soon as she left I saw you...you looked as pale as a ghost...
Tom: So would you if you'd just been accused of theft and murder...
Emma: Only if I was guilty...
Tom: What? Are you saying you think I did it!?
Emma: Let's not play games here Tom, I know you did it...just admit it...
There is an awkard silence between the pair, as much as confirming that Annie was right.
Tom: It wasn't as though I'd stolen that much...
Emma: It's the bloody principle Tom! Stealing is stealing! Not only did you steal that poor woman's lottery ticket, you ran away and let her husband die!
Tom: I know! But I swear I never intended to hurt anybody! I just needed to clear this debt...and...and....It was the only option left babe! I had Craig pressuring me...threatening me....threatning you!
Emma: So you thought you'd go rob an innocent couple of their profits, and in the process ended up killing one of them!?
Tom: It's not like that! And you know it!
Emma looks at Tom in disgust.
Emma: What have you become?... You're the bloke that I once knew...the Tom I know would never have robbed, lied and cheated...infact the Tom I know would never have even got into this situation in the first place!
Tom: I only ever gambled to make money for our own place! And I only robbed to protect you babe!
Emma: (Coldy) I think we need a break from each other...
Upon saying this, Emma walks off, leaving Tom alone, devastated...

INT. RED RUM UPSTAIRS FLAT - NIGHT
Amy walks up the stairs, feeling depressed and exhuasted. She walks into the living room, where soft music is playing. The lights are out, and in it's place a few candles scatterd around the room.
Amy: What's all this Patrick?
Patrick carries two plates from the kitchen to the dining table, which has been dressed up for the ocassion.
Patrick: I thought I'd cook you a special meal babe...
Amy: And what is this supposed to achieve?
Patrick: I heard you talking to Vicky earlier...and welll...I wanted to make you happy...
Amy: Happy!? And you think your burnt offerings of a meal are gonna cheer me up!? You have no idea how unhappy I am Patrick....
Patrick: I can imagine...
Amy: Yeah well imagine that and times it by 100! That little bitch has taken every last shred of hope from me Patrick! And now, thanks to her, I have nothing!
Patrick: You have me...
Amy: Big deal! :rolleyes: I want a baby Patrick! That's all I want! And I can't have one!
Amy starts to sob uncontrolably, Patrick holds her in his arms, looking very concerned for her...
-
Understand Amy is hurt but at least Patrick is making an effort here.. mmm wonder if Emma will say anything to Anne or will she keep this to herself???

Chris: I know the feeling, what happened to the times when we had the women queing around the block for a peice of us eh?
