72 INT. PENITENTIARY - DAY 16 - 16.00 72
Heightened, a little unreal
VIV - now in a prison uniform (brown overall with a T-shirt
underneath) - IS LED THROUGH THE PRISON (a holding prison,
she hasn’t had a formal hearing yet). She is carrying a
sandbag pillow. As the GUARD walks ahead, Viv takes it all
in with rising horror - the filth, the clothes hanging from
barred windows, the oppressive lack of natural light, and the
noise (from cells). Deafening noise.
BACK ON:
73 INT. TRACY’S HOUSE - TRACY’S BEDROOM - NIGHT 16 - 03.50 73
Tracy trying to sleep... can’t sleep... thinking of Viv in
prison... is what we are seeing in her mind, her
imagination... we shouldn’t be able to tell...

CONT:
73She gets up, paces, tries to blot out these thoughts... but
still they come...
INT. PENITENTIARY - DAY 16 - 16.10 74
Three to a room. Lots of rooms. ALL BLACK FEMALES. Lit with
three long fluorescent strip lights, it’s incredibly bright.
Everyone looks awful - ragged, sleep deprived and diseased.
Viv - bemused and scared in the cell. Such hostile faces and
ill looking people, she lowers herself to the floor and
squeezes her body into the tiny space that has been made
available. The smell is overwhelming. This is home.
BACK ON:
INT. TRACY’S HOUSE - TRACY’S BEDROOM - MORNING 17 - 05.30 75
Light comes through the window, morning’s arrival.
BEAUTIFUL SHOES in a carefully placed row along the floor, as
if lined up for inspection.
Tracy is carefully positioning all her shoes in order. It is
strange behaviour and we can see that Tracy’s mind is
shattered, she is doing this almost without consciousness,
just to divert her mind from the terrible dark places it
travels... after a night of mental torment.
CUT 76
INT. JS MOTORS - STAFF ROOM - DAY 17 - 08.00 77
Tracy comes marching in. She grabs the BAG OF MONEY from her
locker.
EMMA:
Where the hell is Viv?
The arrival of Emma startles her.
EMMA (CONT'D)
She’s not even answering my texts,
rude cow. Is she gonna miss my do?
Coz a couple of others have pulled
out and frankly I’m getting worried
about numbers
TRACY:
If she’s ill, she’s ill
Tracy takes the bag and makes a hasty exit.

78 INT. JS MOTORS - SHOWROOM - DAY 17 - 08.15 78
On the move
As Tracy heads through the showroom, past Marianne, Fat Jase
and Beth all busy, Emma trots behind, still going on about
the only thing of importance to her.
EMMA:
So - the plan is
And she hands her a PROFESSIONALLY PRINTED running order with
Emma’s Hen Night written at the top in curly serif font.
EMMA (CONT'D)
We all meet at mine at 7.30. Get
ready together, music, drinks,
whatever, then head down to the
restaurant in three taxis, pre-
ordered, before food we’ll do
presents and speeches - because I
know they’ll be some, there always
is - but if anyone’s bought a
chocolate cock, that’s SO
unoriginal. I’ll allow L plates,
even a tiara, but I draw the line
at penis confectionery...
Tracy isn’t listening, she just walks away, out the door.
EMMA (CONT'D)
Tracy, Tracy...
79 INT. HIGH STREET CLOTHES SHOP - DAY 17 - 09.45 79
Tracy trying on EXPENSIVE CLOTHES. Fairly joyless as she
assesses herself in the mirror.
JUMP TO:
EXPENSIVE CLOTHES are laid on the counter. ASSISTANT starts
ringing them through. Tracy pays, in cash. Again without
much pleasure.
80 CUT 80
81 INT. VARIOUS HIGH STREET SHOPS - DAY 17 - 11.45 81
More clothes, more purchases. Nice shoes, jewellery.
Sunglasses. Perfume. Quick cuts.
82 EXT. HIGH STREET - DAY 17 - 12.30 82
Tracy walking out of a store with SCORES OF TOP END CLOTHES
STORE BAGS. She looks like Posh Spice.

83 INT. MOBILE PHONE STORE - DAY 17 - 14.00 83
Tracy buying an Iphone. Paying in cash.
84 INT/EXT. TAXI/STREETS - DAY 17 - 15.45 84
Taxi. Tracy travelling home. Bags by her feet. She watches
the world go by from the comfort of her seat.
85 INT. TRACY’S HOUSE - TRACY’S BEDROOM/LANDING - DAY 17 -85
16.30
Tracy - sitting in her bedroom - surrounded by the bought
items. She stares at them, these things that should bring
her such pleasure. They bring her no pleasure.
She might have been sitting like this for sometime. Just
staring at them. Trance-like. When...
Outside, she hears a car pull up. She snaps from her trance
and looks out of the window - it’s her mum.
TRACY:
Sh*t.
She is momentarily frozen, unsure what to do, then - in
urgency, she darts out to the landing and grabs a large pole,
she pulls down the loft ladder, then fires back into her
bedroom, grabbing the clothes and shoes and stuffing them
into bags... the front door opens downstairs...
Sh*t, sh*t...
Tracy drags the bags onto the landing and starts to climb the
loft ladder as quickly as she can, almost falling.
TANYA:
Hello - Tracy?
Tracy doesn’t reply, can’t reply, she throws the bags into
the loft space as best she can, then hoists herself up to
push them in further as she hears her mum coming upstairs...
TANYA (CONT'D)
Trace - are you home?
Tracy just, just, manages to get them in and slide down the
loft ladder as her mother appears.
TANYA (CONT'D)
What you doing?
TRACY:
Left my necklace in my suitcase.
Thought I’d lost the thing
She pats her pocket, as if it’s in there.

85 CONT:
85TANYA:
Why aren’t you in work?
TRACY:
(think think)
...it’s Emma’s hen night, they let
us go early
Tanya doesn’t believe her. But Tracy busies herself slamming
the loft closed to avoid further questioning.
86 EXT. JS MOTORS - CAR PARK - DAY 17 - 17.00 86
End of the day, people heading for cars. There’s laughter
and excitement amongst the girls - Emma, Grace, Amelie, and
others - as they discuss the imminent hen do... they are
trying to force her to swig from a bottle of schnaps but she
is protesting, doesn’t want to ruin her night... Rick is
jeering along with them as he heads to his bike.
Mike catches up with Beth.
MIKE:
You off on this wild night of
debauchery -
BETH:
Of course.
MIKE:
BETH:
That’s the directive
MIKE:
Text me photos.
Mike smiles, flirty, fun. But then
MIKE (CONT’D)
Promise me you won’t get pissed and
start confronting Marianne
Which annoys Beth
BETH:
I can be trusted with a drink
inside me
MIKE:
Good, because I couldn’t -
BETH:
It’s Emma’s big night, I’m not
gonna ruin it for her
Ordinary Lies Episode Two Yellow Amendments 53.
86 CONT:
86MIKE:
Why don’t you let me speak to her.
I could have her in - tell her how
much all this is hurting you
A part of her wants to let him, but another part
BETH:
No, Mike, it’s between me and her,
but thanks
He sneaks a touch of her hand, takes one finger in his own.
Surreptitious, no one can see.
