INT. Honeysuckle Cottage - Day
No Doubt’s “Don’t Speak” begins to play. Tanya is sitting alone in her bedroom, staring into the mirror at the dressing table. She is dressed immaculately in black. She looks at a picture of her, Gary and the children. Wet mascara runs down her face.
Tanya opens a draw and brings out a bottle of gin and some pills. She stares at them and the mirror contemplating whether she should use them. She sees the depressed look on her face and puts them back in the draw, she runs the mascara from her eyes, holds her head up high and walks out of the room.
INTERCUT:
INT. Torbay Church – Day
Tanya walks down the main isle of the church, residents of Baymoore packing the church. Hilary and Vicky follow her, tears running down their faces. Behind them Richard, Nick, James and Patrick carry the coffin on their shoulders. There is not a dry eye in the whole church.
As “Don’t Speak” plays we see various shots of the Taylors and the residents crying, and the faint mutterings of the vicar carrying out the ceremony. Tanya gets up from the crowded pews and goes up to the front of the church.
Tanya: The fact that this church is packed to the rafters…shows how much of a man Gary was…he was a great friend to everyone who knew him…every in Baymoore liked him…despite their opinions on my family…
Craig stares at the coffin, unemotionally, Mandy holds his hand for comfort.
Tanya: He was…a great man… words couldn’t describe him… he had no faults… he was always friendly and supportive to anyone who needed some cheering up… that café of his… he served up more advice than fried breakfasts…
Nick smiles slightly at this, Gary being his best friend.
Tanya: He was genuine…he didn’t care about himself…just those around him.. he adored the ground that our kids walked on… he loved them unconditionally…and when we lost them…he went trough so much heartache, as did i…
Hilary holds back the tears, choking up with guilt.
Tanya: He did not deserve to die the way he did! He has been taken from us all so cruelly! We all loved him! He loved us…but now he’s gone!
Hilary starts to burst into tears, Richard hugs her in comfort.
Tanya: (Points to Hilary) And it’s all because of that bitch there!
The church erupts into shocks and mutters, as Tanya points aggressively at Hilary.
Tanya: Hilary Blackstock, who you all “adore” so much, was responsible for Gary’s death!
Hilary begins to shake, staring at Tanya with a gormless look on her face. She looks at Richard for support, shaking her head at Tanya’s accusations.
Richard: Tanya, stop this absurdness now!
Tanya: Gregg told me everything! How she paid him to kidnap my kids! To kill my kids! To kill Gary! It was all down to Hilary! She hates me and this is her revenge!
Richard gets up from his seat and grabs Tanya forcefully away towards the vestry.
Richard: Enough of this Tanya! You are speaking nonsense!
Tanya: I hope your happy you evil bitch! You murdered my family! You have their blood on your hands!
Hilary is starting to have a panic attack, Nick is holding her in support. The residents of Baymoore are looking at each other in shock. Craig straightens his tie and shows no emotion to the scene in front of him.
Tanya: I hope you rot in hell!

:rotfl: at val and the camera!
:eek: I diddn't think tnaya would confront her at the funeral :eek: Evil hilary but evil-er Craig :angry: he better not get away with it!

Emma is walking down the coridoor at college. A group of chavy teenage boys are blocking the doorway to her classroom.
Emma: Can i get past please?
Kevin: Whats it worth eh?
Emma: Oh Kev' stop pratting around will you?
Kevin: How about a quickie round the back of the bikesheds? :p
His friends laugh at this.
Kevin: Come on i know your gagging for it... the feel of a good white man...
Emma: What the hell do you mean by that!?
Kevin: Well your going out with a "Paki" ent ya!?
Emma: Shut up you racist! Besides... he's not from Pakistan...he's from India...
Kevin: Same thing...he's still scum
Emma looses her temper and slaps Kevin around the face. He moves towards her and pushes her up against the lockers.
Kevin: No one slaps me, you stupid little bitch!
In the distance is Hayley, she walks down the coridoor confidently.
Hayley: Oh! You! Pack it in yeah!?
Kevin: Who the hell are you!?
Hayley: Your real life nightmare if you dont let go of her right away...
Kevin: I'm not scared of you!
Hayley: Wanna bet!?
Hayley kicks Kevin in the groin, he falls to the floor in pain. His friends back away.
Hayley: You touch her again and I'll do worse than that!
Emma and Hayley walk off, leaving the group of chavs speechless.
Emma: Thanks for that...
Hayley: No worries...it was nothing.
Emma smiles as the pair head out of college.

INT: TORBAY CHURCH
Richard drags Tanya into the Vestry of the church. He makes her sit on a chair, and stands over her.
Richard: This isn't the place nor the time to bring all this up, Tanya!
Tanya: Aren't you listening to me?! Its her fault we're here! Its her fault.... that Garys dead!
Richard: Shes done no such thing. Look, i understand this is hard for you, and you might no be seeing things very clearly or anything, but please, Tanya, dont say something so hurtfull and wrong.
Tanya: Its the truth though!
Richard: Hilary would do no such thing.
Tanya: But Gregg...
Richard: Greggs a madman, Tanya! Surely you can see that?! He's mixing up your mind, so you dont blame him for anything. Just shifting the blame onto her.
Tanya: But shes not as innocent as you think. She never has been. Theres always been this fued between us, you must have realised?! She'd do anything to hurt me... including
Richard: (interupts) Hilary might not be perfect, but dont you dare accuse her of murder!
Tanya: Can't you see what she's like, Dad?! Shes killed my husband and my children! How can you live with that?!
Richard: Hilary has done nothing. I can understand you being emotional on a day like this, and i dont want this to sound harsh... but it needs to be said. This so called "fued" was nothing to do with Hilary. Its either something you've dreamed up.... or your the one that started it.
Tanya: How can you say that?!
Tanya's eyes well up with tears...
Richard: I know todays tough for you. I wouldn't expect anything different. But you need to accept that Gregg is the one to blame, not Hilary.
Tanya: But...
Richard: And if you can't.... then theres no point you being part of our family.

:eek: But then you could see that coming really couldn't you......
Silly man - wearing those rose tinted glasses again :angry:

Emma smiles, and laughs lightly to herself.
Hayley: What's so funny?

Hayley: Maybe its a sign of a good friendship to come then...
Emma: You never know...life works in perculiar ways...you seem cool tough...
Hayley: Yeah...you do too...:)
There is a silence for a moment, the pair are enjoying each others company.
Emma: So then, you enjoying Baymoore?
Hayley: Its ok i suppose...just really boring...theres nothing to do here...
Emma: Welcome to my world! I've had to grow up here for the past 18 years!
Hayley: Saying that it's better than Ireland...just wished i'd got to know my dad sooner...

INT. Singh House - Day
Kash is shouting into the phone in the living room. Sanjita and Iqbal are in the kitchen.
Sanjita: He can be so stubborn when he wants to be!
Sanjita is washing up the dishes in a rage.
Iqbal: Well he must be good in bed...
Sanjita turns around in an amused shock
Sanjita: What!?
Iqbal: Well there must be something keeping you with him...and not in my bed every night of the week.
Sanjita laughs and smiles flirtatously. Iqbal moves towards Sanjita and presses his body against her. She leans back as he advances and kisses her neck and feels her body.
Sanjita: We shouldn't be doing this...he's only next door...
Iqbal: So!? I want you so bad...
Sanjita: I want you to...
Iqbal: Then why are we keeping this secret...
Sanjita: Because...
Iqbal: Because why?
Sanjita: (Sighs) I want to see you tonight...
Iqbal: You can see your brother in law anytime...
Sanjita: I mean "see"..
Iqbal moves away as Kash calls for Sanjita. He passes her the keys to his flats.
Iqbal: My place...tonight...I'll be waiting...
Sanjita holds the keys close to her heart. She then walks into the living room...

INT: HONEYSUCKLE COTTAGE- day
Tanya is sitting emotionless in the front room, her eyes red with tears. Richard is sitting on the edge of the stairs, watching over her concerned. Theres a knock at the door. Tanya doesn't react, so Richard gets up and answers it. Its a policeman.
Police Officer: Sorry to intrudude at such a difficult time for your family, but i need a quick word with Mrs Donagoon.
Tanya replies, without looking up, her gaze fixed.
Tanya: I'm in here.
PO: So you are.
The policeman enters, and stands in the front room.
PO: I'm sorry to inform you, but the investagation into Gary's death hasn't thrown up any new leads. I'm sorry to tell you, but at this point, the investagation cannot be taken any further.
Richard looks shocked and concerned, realising Tanya doesn't know about it yet...
Tanya: Investagation? What investagation?!
PO: The investagation into Gary's death. I'm sure you were informed about the suspicious circumstances he died under...?
Tanya: Suspicious circumstances?! What suspicious circumstances?!
Tanya looks to Richard...
Tanya: Dad?!
Richard: (to the PO) I'm sure you understand, i didn't think it was the right time to tell her. Not after everything. So if you dont mind...
Tanya: Whats going on, Dad?!
Richard looks to the floor, thinking. He then sits on the chair next to Tanya, and holds her hand.
Richard: When Gary died, his life support machine had been unplugged. It was keeping him alive, all his vitals working...
Tanya: And someone turned it off?! Why didn't you tell me about this?! About my own husbands death?!
PO: I dont think this is the right time for me to be here. I just wanted to inform you about the leads. If anything turns up, you'll be the first to know.
The police officer leaves, and Richard continues...
Richard: No one knew anything for certain at the time, and you were in such a state... no one could be expected to be able to take in all of that. I didn't tell you, because i thought that would be best for you. Maybe i was wrong, but who knows...
Tanya: My husband was killed, and you thought not telling me was the best thing?! What kind of person are you?!
Tanya stands up in rage, standing over Richard.
Richard: Your kids and husband had died. I didn't want you doing anything stupid...
Tanya: So you lied to me!
Richard: I didn't lie. I would have told you, when the time was right...
Tanya: And when would that be? A Week? A Month? A YEAR?!
Tanya storms over to the window, furious. She looks outside and sees a car pass, similar to Craigs. She flashbacks, of whirring pictures of Craig at the hospital, as her voice says over the top....
He was there. Craig was walking down the corridor of the hospital. When Gary died, he was there... but why?! Why did he turn up...? He went into Gary's room..... why?! Why was he there....? He wasn't there to see me, he barely said a thing to me...
Why was he there...?
What did he do?!
Tanyas eyes open fully, as she realises that Craig was there, and involved.
Tanya: Craig....
Richard: You what?!
Tanya: Craig. He was there. When Gary died.... he was there!
Tanya grabs her coat, and runs over to the Garage to confront Craig...
