ZIGGY:
How can they be hiring that out in
Ibiza?
On Tracy, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t...
AMELIE:
(playful, trying to be all
fun to impress Ziggy)
Are you sure you didn’t secretly
fly off to the Caribbean
They laugh. This is starting to unravel.
On Tracy...
TRACY:
Why don’t you just put your hand
down his pants Amelie, it’d be more
subtle. Men like a bit of a
challenge you know -
AMELIE:
What you on about
TRACY:
You think he’s gonna respect you if
you’re throwing yourself at him,
you’re acting like a school girl -
GRACE:
Tracy
TRACY:
‘Oh Ziggy, oh Ziggy, you’re so
gorgeous and funny - please come
home and shag me senseless Ziggy’ -
mwww, mwww, mwwww
She does kissing motions.
AMELIE:
(really upset -)
She’s talking sh*t, that wasn’t
what I was doing
ZIGGY:
It’s okay
TRACY:
(stand up, making real
scene now -)

(4) 53TRACY (CONT'D)
So why don’t we get this out in the
open once and for all - Ziggy, do
you or do you not want to sleep
with Amelie
AMELIE:
(flees the room)
You total b*tch!
She tears away and all eyes fall on Tracy.
PARACETAMOL PETE
You’re out of order Tracy
But Tracy’s eyes glance down at the now discarded and
forgotten photos on Amelie’s phone.
TRACY:
What’s up, can’t she take a joke?
54 INT. TRACY’S HOUSE - TRACY’S BEDROOM - NIGHT 14 - 23.45 54
Tracy lying in bed, sleep won’t come.
55 INT. TRACY’S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT 14 - 01.30 55
Tracy lying on the sofa, staring at NEWS 24, she obsessively
checks the red button News headlines. Still nothing.
56 INT. TRACY’S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY 15 - 07.00 56
Morning. Tracy jerks awake as she hears voices. News 24
still on, she stares at the screen (sound muted) - Breaking
News. And an image of a foreign location.
Her heart pounds - is this it?
She grabs the remote but she can hear her mum coming down the
stairs. As she hits the sound (’a young woman found dead on
a beach in Thailand’) she realises it isn’t a Viv story.
She zaps the news off as her mum enters.
TRACY:
Morning.
TANYA:
How long have you been up?
57 INT. JS MOTORS - RECEPTION/SHOWROOM - DAY 15 - 08.10 57
Tracy arrives at work (most workers are already there inc
Kathy who we see walking around), Amelie already there.
Amelie greets her arrival with contempt. Word has obviously
got around the office as people are looking her way

57 CONT:
57TRACY:
(begrudgingly offers)
Sorry -
Amelie acknowledges that.
TRACY (CONT'D)
So, did you shag him?
58 EXT. JS MOTORS - FORECOURT - DAY 15 - 10.30 58
Tracy walking the customers across the forecourt to where
Marty is working, but she is in a daze. Ziggy and Rick are
busy working on the cars.
FLASH CUSTOMER:
I’ve always driven statement cars
me, top end - Audi’s, Beamers...
they send a message don’t they,
people see you in a nice motor they
think you’re doing well... people
see you/ driving a Micra, what they
gonna think, I’ll tell you what
they’ll think - loser.
At / Tracy sees a CAR arriving and to her horror she realises
that in it are Viv’s parents, JANICE and JOHN - and then,
even worse, in the back seat, is her mother Tanya.
Tracy stops dead heart pounding, sick to her stomach, we hold
on Tracy’s face. The customers swap looks.
TRACY:
Your salesman’s over there.
She turns and runs away.
59 INT. JS MOTORS - SERVICE AREA - DAY 15 - 10.31 59
Tracy dashes past the mechanics area, which catches eyes.
Her urgency. People wondering what’s wrong.
JEZ:
You alright, Trace?
TRACY:
Tell Mike I’m sick.
And to be fair she looks sick. She dodges out through their
back door, gone. Jez, Rick and Ziggy swap looks.
60 EXT. BEHIND JS MOTORS/FIELDS - DAY 15 - 10.32 60
Tracy running across the fields at the back of JS Motors,
knowing this is absurd but needing to escape.
Ordinary Lies Episode Two Yellow Amendments 41.
60 CONT:
60Running, running, running...
When her mobile phone starts to ring. She looks at the
display:
MUM.She slows to a walk. Then stops. What should she do? She
stands motionless in the middle of the field...
61 INT. JS MOTORS - MIKE’S OFFICE - DAY 15 - 11.30 61
Crash straight in - high energy, intense. Office full of
people - Tracy, Mike, Beth, Tanya, Janice and John.
JOHN:
(barely controlling his
anger)
Who paid for it?
TRACY:
I don’t know
JOHN:
She’s lying
TRACY:
I’m not.
JOHN:
My daughter’s in a foreign prison.
Answer the bloody question. Who
paid for it?
TRACY:
I don’t know
JOHN:
(yells)
What do you mean you don’t know?
MIKE:
John, please
JOHN:
You told everyone you were going to
Ibiza. Why? Why would you do that
if you were going to the Dominican!
TRACY:
We were scared people would ask how
we were affording it
JOHN:
And how were you -you didn’t pay
for it out of reception wages.
All eyes on Tracy.

61 CONT:
61TANYA:
You’ve gotta tell us darling
Her mind racing.
TRACY:
It was Viv’s boyfriend.
JANICE:
Which boyfriend?
TRACY:
I don’t know.
JOHN:
(furious)
Have you any idea how serious this
is. Which boyfriend?
TRACY:
He’s called Jimmy.
Tanya registering that.
JOHN:
Jimmy?
JANICE:
Never heard of him.
JOHN:
Jimmy who?
TRACY:
I don’t know, just Jimmy.
JANICE:
Where does he live?
TRACY:
I don’t know.
JOHN:
Jesus Christ - someone pays for a
holiday, thousands of pounds and
you don’t even know who it is
TRACY:
(attack best form of
defense)
He’s loaded. I thought he was
treating us. Viv was going on and
on about how we hadn’t had a
holiday and he just... offered. It
didn’t seem that weird
They despair.
Ordinary Lies Episode Two Yellow Amendments 43.
61 CONT:
(2) 61JOHN:
This doesn’t make sense. None of
MIKE:
(pissed off)
No, it doesn’t - and the last thing
I need is a scandal on my doorstep.
Beth takes over, more conciliatory.
BETH:
Tracy, you told Mike Viv was sick,
you told John she’d met a lad; she
wasn’t on the plane with you - you
see how this is looking -
All eyes on Tracy - accusatory.
TRACY:
She said she wanted to stay a few
days - we argued about it - but she
was adamant, so I left her. I
didn’t know she was gonna do this -
who smuggles coke, it’s crazy... no
wonder she wanted me out of the
way... either that or she was
forced, maybe the guy forced her...
I don’t know...
JANICE:
(heart breaking -)
Why would she carry drugs for him?
She wouldn’t do that.
TRACY:
...money.
JANICE:
(in utter despair)
What kind of money’s worth risking
your life for?
TRACY:
I don’t know!
ANGLE - Kathy on the other side of the door trying to hear as
much as she can and simply not believing her ears.
MIKE:
Tracy, you need to be honest with
us, did Viv mention anything to you
about this, anything at all, it’s
vital you tell us the truth
