DAD:
I can’t
He really wants that car (and the mum wants him to have it).
But the dad is a stubborn old mule.
FAT JASON:
Okay, tell you what I’ll do, I’ll
speak to my sales manager - because
I don’t want to see this lad in
tears, I really don’t
He ruffles the young lad’s hair and goes. He swings into
Marianne’s office, knocks on open door
FAT JASON (CONT'D)
The Mini Cooper, I need you to come
and play Bad Cop -
MARIANNE:
(nods, rises to come)
Where’ve you reached with them?
Ordinary Lies Episode Two Yellow Amendments 22.
33 CONT:
33FAT JASON:
The mum and son desperately want
it, the dad’s adamant he can’t go
over five grand. But trust me, if
he ever wants shagging again he’ll
buy this motor.
They laugh.
As we follow them they pass Beth coming this way, she blanks
Marianne and walks past the open door of her office, as she
glances in she notices Marianne’s MOBILE buzzing on the her
desk. She thinks about calling her, but then, just as
swiftly another thought hits her. She glances back and sees
Marianne and Jason go into the office where the family are -
she is doing big hellos, playing the part.
I.e. She is massively distracted.
Beth makes a decision. Checking to see if anyone is looking,
she slides into Marianne’s office and GRABS THE PHONE.
She exits.
34 INT. JS MOTORS - SHOWROOM/OFFICE AREA - DAY 13 - 09.05 34
Beth in a concealed position, beside a LARGE CUTOUT OF A
SMILING MERCEDES - ‘We sell happy cars’.
She has clear sight of Marianne and Fat Jason in the office
from where she is but her eyes are on the phone. In haste,
she scans through - TEXT MESSAGES, looking, looking,
looking... inbox, outbox, deleted... but there is nothing
suspicious. Eyes all the time flitting up to check Marianne
isn’t exiting the negotiation.
She scrolls through the call register. Again, nothing
suspicious...
Then the phone book, a,b,c, and in D she finds DAVE (WORK),
DAVE/FRANCE, and DAVE ;) - strange.
But as she opens the number of Dave ;) and scans it, grabs a
pen to write it down, she sees...
Marianne standing to leave the room. Sh*t, sh*t...
She quickly heads back across, but it’s now a race against
time. Marianne is shaking hands with the dad, and the mum,
saying her goodbye’s - deal done...
Beth reaches her office and manages to slide the phone back
on the desk, but just as she is exiting the office, as
nonchalant as she can manage, Marianne sees her
MARIANNE:
Beth

34 CONT:
34Beth turns.
BETH:
Your phone was ringing - I was
going to bring it to you - but then
it stopped
A lie, and they both know it, but Beth isn’t waiting around
for interrogation. Marianne goes into her office - picks up
the phone and can instantly tell - where is the missed call
notice - that Beth was lying...
Beth crashes back into her own office. Exhales. But even
so, three Dave numbers - what the hell is that about?
35 CUT 35
36 EXT. MANCHESTER AIRPORT - CAR PARK - DAY 13 - 10.30 36
Tracy walks, with her suitcases, the full length of the
airport car park. Still glancing round, still full of terror
that she is being followed. Play her paranoia - jump cuts
emphasize show her agitation. Jimmy’s car is parked right at
the far end (the agreed meeting point) and he watches her
arrive, but doesn’t get out, doesn’t come to help. He just
watches her coming towards him on her own
She eventually arrives. He springs the boot. Climbs out.
JIMMY:
Where is she?
TRACY:
(frantic -)
She got caught, she got stopped,
JIMMY:
Get in the car.
TRACY:
You said it’d be a breeze, said
there’d be no chance
JIMMY:
In the car.
She does. He flings the suitcases in the boot.
37 INT/EXT. JIMMY’S CAR/STREETS - DAY 13 - 10.45 37
Driving along, away from the airport. Jimmy’s eyes flit to
the rear view, making sure they aren’t being followed...
Ordinary Lies Episode Two Yellow Amendments 24.
37 CONT:
37TRACY:
We both went to the airport. Did
exactly as we were told. But
something happened. Customs
appeared. Marched her to an office.
They must know.
JIMMY:
Not necessarily.
TRACY:
Why would they stop her!
JIMMY:
(calming, reassuring)
Look, until we know for definite
let’s assume she’s alright. They
might have just been asking
questions
TRACY:
And kept her off the flight! Why
would they do that. Why?
JIMMY:
I don’t know. I’ll talk to people,
see if I can find anything out. If
she’s been done there’ll be news,
right. Just... stay with it.
Tracy frantic - the full weight of the mess they are in
hitting her between the eyes.
TRACY:
I want this stuff out of me. I want
this sh*t out of me right now
He delves in his pocket and casually tosses her something.
JIMMY:
Here
Tracy looks at the box quizzically
JIMMY (CONT'D)
Laxatives. Cherry flavoured.
38 INT. JS MOTORS - BETH’S OFFICE - DAY 13 - 17.15 38
Most people have left for the day. Beth is in her office.
BETH:
JS Motors. Beth Corben.
Silent.
Her heart pounds. This again.
Ordinary Lies Episode Two Yellow Amendments 25.
38 CONT:
38BETH (CONT’D)
Beth Corben.
Nothing. She hangs up. Then looks across the office at the
closed dark ‘sales manager’s office’. On Beth.
She notices Mike is still working in his office. She grabs
her phone and rings internally, he answers
BETH (CONT’D)
Can we talk?
39 INT/EXT. JS MOTORS - MIKE’S OFFICE/CAR PARK - DAY 13 39
-17.20
Mike has booze for special occasions and they are sitting in
his office, each with a a glass of wine...
BETH:
I’ve no proof of anything
MIKE:
Sounds iffy to me. Calls day and
night, three Dave’s in her phone
BETH:
They could be different people
MIKE:
Shall I get her in. Talk to her
about it
BETH:
And say what?
Beth looks tired, pained with it all
BETH (CONT’D)
harass the woman. And I can’t
admit stealing her phone.
Mike accepts that.
BETH (CONT’D)
What do you know about her?
MIKE:
Marianne? Not a lot. But that’s not
saying much - what I know about the
personal lives of my staff you
could write on the bumper of a
cinquecento.
He smiles, she returns it.
Ordinary Lies Episode Two Yellow Amendments 26.
39 CONT:
39BETH:
Her records say she’s married but
she never seems to talk about him
Mike shrugs, then a memory is dredged.
MIKE:
Hang on... is he the one that had
his tongue pierced?
BETH:
(amused)
Y-what?
MIKE:
Christmas do, he came to pick her
up; I offer him a drink, next thing
I know he’s talking cunnilingus -
Which at least makes Beth smile.
MIKE (CONT’D)
apparently. So I’d imagine she’s
still with him...
They smile. Mood lightened, he tries optimism.
MIKE (CONT’D)
Look, Beth, he hasn’t ran away with
her, so we can rule out a serious
relationship...
BETH:
Can we?
She challenges him with a look
