EXT. PAIGNTON POLICE STATION - DAY
Richard is outside the police station, contemplating about handing himself in and owning up to James's death. Richard suddenly hears Val, who is shouting behind him.
Val: Richard! Wait!
Richard turns to Val.
Richard: Look Val, i really don't want you mouthing off at me again, i know i've done wrong and i'm gonna do the right thing, i'm handing myself in, don't worry, justice will be done for your husband...
Val: You don't understand! I got it all wrong...it wasn't you that killed James..
Richard: But...i don't understand...on that night, i was drinking and driving..and that was the night James was killed, so i must have ran over and killed him...
Val: It must have just been a coincidence Richard, i know you didn't kill him, i finally found out the truth...the person who killed my husband has owned up..
Richard: Well i can't tell you Val...but that's such a relief...
Val: I'm sorry i doubted you Richard, i just assumed, jumped to conclusions, Jared told me that you confessed to running over James and i just hit the roof, i didn't find out the facts for myself...i just assumed it was you by the words of another person!
Richard: Jared?
Val: Yes...he said you were a friend of his and you told him confidence that you ran over my James...
Richard's face turns to complete anger. He storms off away from the police station.
INT. BACHELOR BOYS HOUSE- DAY
Tom is watching television when there is a sudden knock on the door. He moves off the sofa and goes to the front door and answers it. He is shocked to see Emma on the doorstep, she is crying with a suitcase in her hands.
Tom: Oh my god Emma! What's happened?!
Emma: (tearful) I've got nowhere else to go! Mum's chucked me out...
Tom: Come on in Emma...
Emma enters the Bachelor Boys house.
Tom: Now, come on, you know you can talk to me...what's wrong?
Emma: I've done something awful Tom! Something really awful and mum's never going to forgive me!
Emma bursts into tears. Tom puts his arms round her and gives her a comforting hug.
Tom: It can't be anything that bad...
Emma: I killed my father, Tom! I was the one who ran him over and killed him!
Tom has a shocked facial expression on his face, but carries on comforting Emma, realising how upset she is.
Tom: Look, atleast you owned up and told the truth...i'm sure your mum will forgive you over time...
Emma: You really don't understand do you!? I'm terrified that mum's gonna shop me to the police! I'm so so scared, i don't want to go to jail Tom!
Emma continues to cry. Tom carries on hugging Emma.
What will Richard do now i wonder????
INT. JARED ASHWORTH'S OFFICE - DAY
Jared is sat in his office looking through some files when Richard barges in, followed by Jared's secretary.
Secretary: I'm so sorry sir, he just barged past me!
Jared: Not to worry Kerry, if you can tell my next apointment I'll be a few minutes...
The secretary leaves, Jared gets up and heads to the drink cabinet.
Jared: To what do I owe this unexpected visit?
Richard: You know perfectly well why I'm here...
Jared: (Sarcastic) I'm sorry Richard, I'm getting forgetful in my old age, please remind me?
Richard: What the hell do you think you were doing telling lies to Val Andrews about me!
Jared: Lies? From what I've heard that was a lot of truth in it...
Richard: Yeah well I didn't kill her ok, Val has found the real culprit...
Jared: Yes but you were still drunk behind the wheel of the car, as a law obiding citizien it's only my duty to report anything...
Richard: You'd have seen me go to bloody jail for this!
Jared: And it'd be no more than you deserve...you've got away with too many crimes in your lifetime Richard...robbing my father, driving him to suicide...and god knows what other dirty tricks over the years...sooner or later I'll get you... and I'll make you pay for what you did to my families and others like mine! Now get the hell out of my office!
Richard: This isn't over Ashworth...
Jared: You're right... it isn't...
Jared casts Richard an evil look as Richard leaves his office.

Val: If she's sent you, you can sod off...
Tom: Look Val, don't you think you're being a bit heavy handed with this?
Val: No Tom, I don't! She ran over her own father, bloody killed him!
Tom: No intentionally, if you could only see what a state she's in over it, she's greiving just as much as you are...
Val: Only I wasn't the one that killed him, she's more scared about me shopping her to the police then she is sorry for what she did...
Tom: And are you gonna... shop her to the police?
Val: I've got so much on my plate at the moment...
Tom: Please Val, she's your daughter...
Val: Don't worry...I would never do it... I couldn't...
Val sits down.
Val: It was just a nasty coincidence...it could have been anyone...so if you've come to see if she's going down for it...don't worry...she isn't...
Tom: (Uneasy) Val...
Val: Just go Tom...please...leave me be...
Tom leaves, unsure of what to say. Val is left alone, she begins crying to herself, unable to come to terms with James' death...
