INT. BAYMOORE B&B - NIGHT
Jon and Mandy are sat down watching television, John looks at his watch and then stares into thin air, looking distant.
Mandy: You alright love...you seem...distant?
Jon: I'm fine...
Mandy: Was it Craig, what did he say to you earlier?
Jon: It's no big deal Mand' honestly, I just told him not to mend his ways.
Mandy: As long as that's all...
All of a sudden there is a loud repetitive knock at the door. Mandy jumps up to open the door. Jon looks petrified - fearing Craig has come to tell Mandy.
Mandy opens the door, Leah walks in and charges towards Jon.
Leah: You nutcase! What the hell do you think you're beating up Craig eh!?
Jon: I haven't!
Leah: Don't lie to me! I know you did it!
Mandy: He hasn't done any such thing! He's been with me all night!
Leah: Oh come on Mandy you should know by now that they never do it themselves...people like Jon and Craig always get someone else to do their dirty work...
Mandy: Where do you get off barging into our house and spouting your poision!?
Leah: Face facts Mand', you've just moved from one gangster to another... at least Craig has the good grace to admit to being one!
Leah turns to face Jon, pointing a finger at him.
Leah: You haven't heard the last of this Kerrigan, when Craig's better you're gonna regret ever sending calling the heavies on him!
Leah storms out of the B&B. Jon is left looking guilty, slowly Mandy turns to Jon, giving him a look of total digust...

INT. TORBAY CHURCH - DAY
The majority of Baymoore have gathered for James' funeral. Cat Steven's "Wild World" plays over a montage of moments from his funeral.
Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'
Baby, I'm grievin'
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
Close ups of Val, Claire, and Emma, all emotional, crying as the vicar reads a sermen.
Vicar: The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake....
INTERCUT:
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl
Val gets up and stands beside James coffin. A picture of him in his police uniform is placed on top of the coffin, an emotional Val begins to adress the congregation.
Val: 49, it's no age is it? James was the greatest man I've ever meet, no exaggerations. He was a good natured man, selfless to the core... he loved me and his girls unconditionally, we meant the world to him...and he meant the world to us...
Emma is barely able to cope with the greif, Tom stands beside her, holding her hand in support.
Val: He was dedicated to his job, and to the local community...for him to be snatched away from us like this, at such a young age is criminal... wherever you are now James, needless to say you will never be forgotten, I love you babe...
INTERCUT:
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breakin' my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you a sad girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
The Vicar: Eternal God, you give light to those who sit in darkness
and in the shadow of death; let your light shine on those who mourn
that they may rejoice in your holy comfort and live in the light of the resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord.
All: Amen
INTERCUT:
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl
Close ups of many of the regulars. Craig looks slightly guilty, as does Richard. Hilary holds his hand in support, a slight grin on her face knowing what's planned.
Vicar: Let us commend our brother James to the mercy of God, our maker and redeemer. Into your hands O merciful Saviour, we commend your servant James. Acknowledge, we pray, a sheep of your own fold, a lamb of your own flock, a sinner of your own redeeming. Enfold him in the arms of your mercy, in the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and in the glorious company of the saints in light. Amen.
All: Amen...
Val, Claire and Emma look at one another, realising that James has now gone and it's time to move on, gone but never forgotten...

INT. RED RUM- DAY
The locals are in the Red Rum for James's wake. They're sitting at the booths, drinking and talking quietly with sad looks on their faces, devastated that James has gone forever. Val is at the bar.
Val: Pour me another glass will you Ams?
Jared suddenly stands next to Val and interrupts.
Jared: No, let me get this for you, it's the least i could do to offer my condelances to you over the loss of your husband..
Val smiles at Jared for his generous offer.
Val: Thank you...:)
Jared pays for Val's drink and Amy goes to get Val's drink.
Jared: Like i said, i'm sorry to hear about your husband, Val..
Val: You didn't know him very well did you?
Jared: No i've only just moved round these parts, let's just say, me and Richard know each other quite well, we go way back..
Val: Oh..i see..
Jared: But i must say, what Richard's done is unforgivable..
Val: What do you mean?
Jared: There's something you should know Val...god help me for saying this..
Val: What is it?
Jared: Richard was the person who killed your husband...
Val: You what?! No, we've known him for years! He would never do such a thing!
Jared: He confessed to me Val, he told me in confidence what he did!
Val: But...but..i don't believe you! He may have always thought he was a cut above everyone else here in Baymoore...and James may have not been his most precious friend in the world, but no way would Richard kill him!
Jared: You should have seen his guilty face in the church Val, it was an absolute picture! You could tell from a mile off he was responsible for James's death, he had GUILTY written all over him!
Val: No...no...i want proof!
Jared: You'll just have to trust me Val, but believe me, he's been bricking it...hoping not to get found out, he confessed to me what he did, he said he had killed James, and he didn't know what to do! I really didn't want to say anything, but i thought you deserved to know, Richard can't get away with what he's done...
Jared walks away from Val. Val looks on in complete shock. Jared smiles as he walks away, hoping he has managed to get Val to believe him.

Mandy: Is she telling the truth!?
Jon: Mandy...
Mandy: I want to know Jon, just tell me...did you arrange for him to get beaten up!?
Jon: No, honestly, do you really think I'd stoop to that level?
Mandy: I don't know Jon...one minute I think I know you and the next...
Jon: Okay then...I did it...
Mandy: (Outraged) You what!?
Jon: You want honesty...you've got it...I did it! Okay!?
Mandy: No it's not okay! What the hell did you think you were playing at!?
Jon: Oh come off it Mand'! You telling me that he didn't deserve it!? After what he did to your mom... after all the people he's hurt!?
Mandy: Fighting fire with fire doesn't make anything better Jon, it just brings you down to his level!
Jon: I'm sorry Mandy, what can I say?
Mandy: It's gonna take more than a bloody apology Jon, I made it perectly clear from the start that I need honesty in this relationship!
Jon: Well what are you saying?
Mandy: What I'm saying is if you really want us to stay together then you're going to have to quit your dodgy routes...
Jon is left stunned by Mandy's ultimatum.

Hilary: Look Richard it's terrible, what happened, but you need to get your act together, or you're gonna end up getting found out!
Richard: Maybe it's for the best, it'd settle my conscience....

Richard: Val, I'm so sorry, you have to believe me! I was drunk out of my head, I didn't even realise I'd done it!
Val: What the hell were you doing in a car drunk!? Thanks to you my James is dead, you ****ing *******!

Emma stands up and turns away from James' grave where she sees Val standing in front of her.
Emma: Mom...
Val: Emma...
Emma: Look I'll go okay...
Val: I never asked you to...
Emma: Dad's grave doesn't seem the most appropriate place for us to argue...
Val: Just as well I wasn't gonna then eh?
Emma looks at Val confused.
Emma: But yesterday...
Val: Let's just blame that on high emotions, yeah?
Emma: I'm so sorry mom...honestly...
Val: I know you are...
The pair stand in silence for a moment, looking at James grave.
Emma: What do you think he'd say if he was here now?
Val: He'd be throwing the rule book at you...you'd never here the end of it...but he'd never have shopped you to the police, he cared for you too much...
Emma: If you only knew how guilty I feel...
Val: I can only imagine, and there's no point punishing you for it...becuase you'll be doing that inside forever more... besides I wouldn't be able to live with myself if you went to prison...
An emotional Val grabs hold of Emma's hand, and holds it tight.
Val: Now James is gone I need my girls here beside me...we can get through this if we stay together, so let's never mention this again okay?
Emma silently nods. Val gets out a tissue and whipes the tears from Emma's eyes.
Val: Come on, let's go home...
Val puts down a bunch of flowers on James grave, and the pair head off. The camera stays on James' gravestone.

Lynne gets out her phone and dials a number, Amy's face immeditaley turns to one of panick and desperation.

INT. LYNNE'S WORKPLACE - DAY
Lynne: How did you find out about that?
Amy: She told me...look does it matter? You need the money and I want a baby, it seems logical that I pay you money for the baby!
Lynne: This isn't right...
Amy: How isn't it? People do it all the time, you'd just be like a surrogate mother...it's not illegal or anything...
Lynne: Oh I'm sure it is! Paying for babies, it's Britian, not the middle east!
Amy: What's your issue with it?
Lynne: You make it sound like I'm the crazy one for saying no! It's not something that every woman does!
Amy: Yeah well not every woman has to adopt do they? No one understands what it's like to want a baby and not to be able to have one... when you have to rely on someone else to give you one...and then for women like you to just give your bloody kids away!
Lynne: Oh save the sob story! IF I was to do this, it would be for the money...you understand?
Amy: Yeah, how much will clear off your debts?
Lynne: 40 grand...
Amy is taken aback by the such high figure, is it worth paying for a baby...?
