Ordinary Lies Episode Two Yellow Amendments 17.
25 CONT:
25Tracy enters through a different door. She does a quiet
mantra to herself.
TRACY:
Stay calm, keep calm. Stay calm,
keep calm....
Her eyes dart around the huge airport, everything seems
perfectly normal. She approaches the ‘boarding’ screen and
scans it for her flight.
26 INT. INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT - DOMINICAN - DAY 12 - 14.20 26
QUEUES of passengers are lined up at TWO SEPARATE desks.
Tracy is in one queue, Viv in the other.
Though they’ve been told not to, they sneak surreptitious
looks at each other. Both are terrified.
Viv wipes a bead of sweat from her top lip.
The queue inches forward. Jump cut time pass to find Viv at
the front of her queue.
ASSISTANT:
Next please.
Viv goes to the desk, hands over her passport and ticket.
ASSISTANT (CONT'D)
Good holiday?
VIV:
Yes thanks.
Viv watches her like a hawk (as does Tracy) as she taps
information into the computer, tags the bag, all the usual
paraphernalia. Tension, tension. Then she stops.
ASSISTANT:
One moment.
She picks up the telephone, time stands still. What’s she
doing? Who the f*** is she ringing?
She starts speaking - an English/Spanish mix - to someone.
Meanwhile across the way, Tracy is called to the front of her
queue, starts being processed in the usual way.
Both girls are rigid with fear, but acting as casual as they
can manage.
ASSISTANT #2
Passport?
Tracy snaps from her fear and fumbles for her passport, hands
it over for the assistant to inspect.
Ordinary Lies Episode Two Yellow Amendments 18.
26 CONT:
26Ominously, the assistant looks from the passport photo to
Tracy’s face. Then back again. Tracy posits an ‘it’s me’
smile.
ANGLE - back at Viv’s desk, the assistant places the phone
down. Looks up to Viv.
ASSISTANT:
Customs officer is coming.
VIV:
(terrified)
Customs, why?
ASSISTANT:
Procedure.
She keeps Viv’s passport and tickets. Viv has a wide-eyed
fear. Starts babbling.
VIV:
Look, is there a problem, I mean,
I’m just going home from holiday.
What do customs want me for?
ASSISTANT:
They won’t be a moment.
Tracy glances, almost imperceptibly from her queue. Sees the
problem. Her heart pounding inside her. But she is handed
passport, boarding card etc...
ASSISTANT #2
Gate seven. Enjoy your flight.
TRACY:
Thank-you.
Tracy takes her tickets and makes a hasty exit. Not even
daring to glance as TWO CUSTOMS OFFICERS (blue short sleeved
shirts, shades, strangely official looking) arrive.
Viv rooted to the spot, it’s almost as if she is watching
this out of body, from above herself.
CUSTOMS OFFICER speaks to ASSISTANT and takes Viv’s passport.
Then addresses her.
CUSTOMS:
Follow me, please.
VIV:
Why? Where we going?
CUSTOMS:
Just some questions.
Ordinary Lies Episode Two Yellow Amendments 19.
26 CONT:
(2) 26VIV:
I’m going home. I’ve been on
holiday...
CUSTOMS:
(motions - this way)
Please.
Viv has no choice. The other OFFICER grabs her bag and as
PASSENGERS watch on, she is led away.
ANGLE - Tracy, at a significant distance, watching this.
27 INT. INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT - DOMINICAN - TOILETS - DAY 12 27
-14.45
Tracy slams into a toilet cubicle, literally shaking with
fear. Sweat pouring from her, heart pounding.
TRACY:
No, no, no, no, no, no.
She slides to the floor and stays huddled there.
28 INT. INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT - DOMINICAN - DAY 12 - 15.00 28
Viv is flanked by the CUSTOMS OFFICERS - it’s an unnervingly
long walk - the officers swaggering a little - all the way to
a far door, where she is led into a side room.
Linoleum floor, pale green walls. Sort of room that would
smell of disinfectant and cigarette smoke.
The door closes behind her and all the noisy bustle of the
airport is shut out. Silence.
Then, as the OFFICERS speak to each other in Spanish, a sense
of foreboding fills the room.
Viv glances to one side, there is a GRUBBY PINBOARD. On it
are glossy photographs of various TRAVELLERS AND LOCALS with
small ‘trophies’ of drugs in front of them. They are the
previously captured.
Viv’s heart sinks. Her eyes dart faster than sound.
VIV:
I need to go to the loo.
CUSTOMS:
No, no toilet.
The OFFICERS start unzipping her SUITCASE and removing the
clothes and items without care.
Viv gets a brief window of hope.

INT. INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT - DOMINICAN - SECURITY -29
DAY 12 - 15.15
Tracy passes through a scanner without incident and heads
towards the gate where the planes are waiting.
She is scared and worried about Viv, but self preservation
has kicked in now. She has to get out of here.
30
INT. INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT - DOMINICAN - CUSTOMS ROOM -30
DAY 12 - 15.30
Viv watches as her bag is inspected. There are now two plain
clothed DEA officers in the room too, along with a duty
lawyer and an airline representative.
Viv becomes aware that a DEA OFFICER is carefully watching
her.
DEA OFFICER:
Shoes off. Shoes!
Viv removes her trainers, she reluctantly hands them to the
officer, who feels and presses at them. The uniformed customs
police leave the room.
Viv is daring to think she might get away with this. There’s
more animated conversation between the officers. Then...
DEA OFFICER (CONT’D)
This way.
The officer leads Viv into an adjoining room, where she comes
face to face with what looks like a HOSPITAL SCREEN.
VIV:
What’s this? What am I doing?
DEA OFFICER:
X-ray, X-ray.
Viv freaks.
VIV:
Look, I shouldn’t even be here.
What about my plane. I should be
on my plane, I’m being picked up, I
need to get back home...
They manhandle her towards the machine.
VIV (CONT'D)
You can’t do this to me.
(then, in sheer
desperation)
I’m English.
Ordinary Lies Episode Two Yellow Amendments 21.
31 INT. INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT - PLANE - DAY 12 -17.10 31
Boarding. Tracy boards the plane as SMILING AIR HOSTESS
welcomes her and directs her to her seat.
32 INT. AEROPLANE - DAY 12 - 17.35 32
Tracy sitting at a window seat. She stares out at the
terminal. The pilot/captain is doing his taxi-ing speech.
It’s an oasis of calm as people settle into what’s going to
be a long flight. We stay with Tracy, and all the emotions
flying through her...
The PASSENGER next to her, older woman, talks to her.
PASSENGER:
It’s raining at home. If it wasn’t
for me cats I’d emigrate.
Tracy has no desire/energy/nerve to communicate, she makes a
half-hearted gesture then returns to staring out.
33 INT. JS MOTORS - SALES OFFICE AREA - DAY 13 - 09.00 33
Fat Jason is in his sales office with a mum, dad and their
young son buying his first car. He really wants that car.
But it’s negotiation time and things are getting tense.
DAD:
I can’t go over five grand, I just
can’t
THE SON:
Dad
