RANA:

I pointed out the risks of course, but in the end, it has to be his

decision.

CAROLINE:

You should talk to Mac about it.

RANA:

Yeah, I will, soon as I get the chance. What’s the police line these days?

CAROLINE:

Want me to ask around?

RANA:

Yeah. That’d be good, thanks.

[FAITH WALKS DOWN THE CORRIDOR AND WAVES TO

RANA AS SHE PASSES]

FAITH:

Hi!

[SHE WALKS ON. RANA WATCHES HER GO]

CAROLINE:

(WITH A SMILE) Down boy!

EP105/SC10. INT. COFFEE SHOP. DAY 1. 11.10

[MAC AND KATE SIT AT A TABLE. KATE SIGHS WITH

RELIEF]

MAC:

You OK?

KATE:

Sore feet.

MAC:

I meant back there. If you wanted to go into that baby shop…

KATE:

It’s fine, really. I just don’t want to tempt fate, not after the last time.

[THEY BOTH SIT WITH THEIR THOUGHTS FOR A FEW

MOMENTS]

KATE:

Are you still set on telling Jack?

MAC:

We’ve been through all this. You agreed, Jack should know about Jo’s…

‘involvement’ in Jessie’s death.

KATE:

I know.

MAC:

It’ll be better for everyone when it’s all out in the open.

KATE:

For everyone…?

[A BEAT]

KATE:

When will you tell him?

MAC:

I thought this afternoon. Maybe.

KATE:

You’re not sure about this, are you?

MAC:

No.

KATE:

Give it another day. See how you feel tomorrow. If you still think it’s for

the best… well, you’ve got to do what you think is right.

MAC:

Yes.

[CLOSE ON MAC. WHAT WILL HE DECIDE?]

EP105/SC11. INT. HOSPITAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT.

DAY 1. 11.15

[JO LIES IN BED, HOOKED UP TO A VARIETY OF TUBES.

SHE IS IN A COMA. THE MONITOR BY HER BED BEEPS.

JACK SITS AND LOOKS AT HER, GAZING INTENTLY,

WILLING HER TO WAKE UP. HE TAKES HER HAND IN HIS

AND STROKES HER FACE, WILLING HER TO WAKE UP]

EP105/SC12. INT. ROB OVEREND’S HOUSE. SITTING ROOM. DAY

1. 11.45

[ROB SITS AT THE TABLE. JANICE HOVERS BEHIND HIM,

LOOKING ANXIOUSLY ON. HE’S GOT A PACKET OF

CIGARETTE PAPERS, AND A BAG CONTAINING SOME

HERBAL SUBSTANCE WHICH WE CAN’T SEE. HE LOOKS

INSIDE THE BAG]

ROB:

How much am I supposed to use do you think?

JANICE:

I don’t know. What did Jonesie say?

ROB:

He said go easy at first.

JANICE:

You can always try more if it doesn’t work.

ROB:

Right.

[ROB OBVIOUSLY FEELS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE ABOUT

DOING THIS. HE PICKS UP THE PACKET OF CIGARETTE

PAPERS AND WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY REMOVES ONE OF

THE PAPERS FROM THE PACKET. HIS HANDS SHAKE SO

MUCH, AND HIS FINGERS ARE SO UNRESPONSIVE, THAT

IT SLIPS FROM HIS HANDS AND FALLS TO THE TABLE. HE

TRIES AGAIN, WITH INCREASING FRUSTRATION AND

DESPERATION. HE ACCIDENTALLY PULLS OUT A HANDFUL

OF PAPERS. HE IS DISTRAUGHT]
