BETH (CONT'D)
There’s something about her, I
don’t trust her... she’s got a
shifty face
MIKE:
I know... for a woman getting the
sort of action she’s been getting,
you’d think she’d look happier
They laugh again. And then...
MIKE (CONT’D)
Oh sh*t.
CCTV monitor shows a RANGE ROVER pulling in.

MIKE:

40 EXT. JS MOTORS - CAR PARK - DAY 13 - 17.25 40
Mike heads out as his wife, ALISON - attractive, 40, someone
who has grown used to money and a certain lifestyle - heads
across with the kids, RUBY, 15, and LUKE, 8.
MIKE:
What you lot doing here?
ALISON:
Thought we’d take you for dinner
They kiss/peck.
ALISON (CONT'D)
Are you ready to leave
MIKE:
I can be (
to his son)
Hey, kiddo - how’s school?
And across the way, Beth leaves the office. She waves
casually at Alison as she makes her way to her car.
Alison oblivious to the fact that Beth has slept with her
husband. And Beth having to watch this show of familial
affection. Mike aware of this, feeling super awkward.
MIKE (CONT’D)
Okay, well, give me five minutes...

BAGS of drugs sit on the table in Jimmy’s flat.
Ordinary Lies Episode Two Yellow Amendments 28.
41 CONT:
41Tracy pacing, can’t sit still. She looks wretched.
TRACY:
What am I gonna tell her mum and
dad? How can I tell them she hasn’t
come home...
JIMMY:
You need to sleep.
TRACY:
We told them we’re coming back
later tonight, to give us time to
come here - but they’ll be
expecting her home. In two hours,
they’ll be expecting her through
the door. What am I gonna say?
WHAT AM I GONNA TELL THEM, JIMMY?
She’s feral.
JIMMY:
I don’t know
TRACY:
She’s over there on her own. She’s
all on her own.
Tracy sobs, Jimmy holds her, needs this like he needs a hole
in the head. Over her shoulder he says
JIMMY:
You’d better ring them.
42 EXT. JIMMY’S FLAT - BALCONY - NIGHT 13 - 21.15 42
Standing on the balcony of Jimmy’s flat, looking across the
night time city scape, Tracy is on her mobile...
Hating the words she is saying, but trying her best to sound
casual and credible
TRACY:
I know it’s a bit weird, I said so
myself, but... she just liked this
guy and wanted to stay a few more
days so...
(they are going bananas)
Yeh, to be honest, I think she was
scared to ring you, scared of your
reaction so... I know, but that’s
why I said I’d do it...
(more bananas)
Well, yeh, of course, call her but,
you know, she might not... I’ll
call her if you like... tell her
you’re not happy...

CONT:
42All the time, in the b/g Jimmy is listening. Tracy pulls a
‘this is going badly’ face.
INT. JIMMY’S FLAT - BEDROOM - NIGHT 13 - 22.00 43
Hard cut to silence. Tracy sitting with her head in her
hands.
Jimmy enters, holding a tatty bag. He moves towards her and
places the bag beside her. She looks inside FIVE
THOUSAND POUNDS.
Tracy’s face, this is a lot of money. But even so.
JIMMY:
Harvey Nics, DKNY, can have
whatever you want...
This should thrill her, doesn’t.
TRACY:
I can’t go home. I can’t do it,
can I stay here tonight He’d
rather she didn’t, see just a flicker of this. But JIMMY
Course.
EXT. ESTATE - DAY 14 - 06.30 44
Early morning. Tracy heading across the estate where she
lives. She has her wheelie suitcases and small holdall.
It’s quiet, no one around, and yet she still feels paranoid,
like she is being watched.
EXT/INT. TRACY’S HOUSE - FRONT DOOR/HALLWAY/TRACY’S 45
BEDROOM - DAY 14 - 06.40
Tracy arrives home. Tentatively opens the door.
TRACY:
Mum? Robbie?
No reply. Palpable relief. They’re still in bed. She
slides inside, looking at her house afresh. Home - the place
she should have stayed.
She heads through to her bedroom. Locks the door.
Then fishes into the holdall and produces the CASH - payment
for her work. There’s bundles of it in twenties.

Ordinary Lies Episode Two Yellow Amendments 30.
CONT:
45She thinks where to hide it - scans the room, nowhere looks
safe enough. Eventually she removes a drawer from the chest
and stuffs the cash right down the back, then replaces the
drawer. You wouldn’t happen upon it.
Tracy sags on her bed. Just lies there reliving the events
of the past twenty four hours, when...
TANYA:
Baby! You’re back
She startles her.
TRACY:
Hiya.
Tracy manages a big fake smile. They hug.
TANYA:
How was it, did you have a great
time?
TRACY:
Yeh, good.
TANYA:
You look fantastic, you’ve caught
the sun. Viv enjoy herself?
TRACY:
Yeah.
TANYA:
Bet you got up to all sorts. I’m
not even gonna ask, I don’t even
wanna know...
Her mum laughs. Tracy’s insides drop. She feels sick to her
stomach. There’s no way she can keep up this lie. She sees
her JS Motors work badge on the side and her heart sinks.
CUT 46
INT. JS MOTORS - RECEPTION/SHOWROOM - DAY 14 - 07.55 47
Workers streaming in, Marty still quite alone follows Pete
who’s talking to Kathy and Marianne - the usual morning
arrival. In amongst this we find Tracy, headphones on,
hoping to be ignored.
She is scanning NEWS SITES on her mobile, scrolling headlines
super fast to see if the story has broke...
It hasn’t. Some relief.
But then... Emma appears.
Ordinary Lies Episode Two Yellow Amendments 31.
47 CONT:
47EMMA:
So come on, give us all the gory
details...
TRACY:
(suddenly goes into a big
act)
Two words - A Mazing. I don’t
think I slept. Seriously, maybe an
hour, I’ve never partied so hard in
my life, and the men... it’s lucky
you didn’t come with us or you’d be
Jez... how I’m gonna get through
today I’ll never know.
EMMA:
Well you’d better sleep. I don’t
want you wussing out on my hen
night. Where’s Viv?
48 INT. JS MOTORS - MIKE’S OFFICE - DAY 14 - 08.45 48
Tracy standing in Mike’s office.
MIKE:
Ill? She has a week’s holiday and
she comes back ill?
TRACY:
Some kind of food poisoning. Must
have been a dodgy kebab.
MIKE:
A dodgy kebab? I have been on wild
holidays you know, I do know the
drill - has she over done it?
Tracy just shrugs. That’s all she is giving him -Mike
relents, what can he do?
MIKE (CONT’D)
So when can we expect her back?
If only Tracy knew. Only just holding together
49 INT. JS MOTORS - SHOWROOM - DAY 14 - 11.30 49
Sales forecourt. Marty and Fat Jason are working their magic
with customers on the forecourt. Emma is busy on her
computer.
