sorry. I shouldn’t have left you. I

knew you were vulnerable and I

shouldn’t have gone. But that’s

why. So. I’m sorry.

CLARE stares at her. Still very pissed and ill, but well able

to take in the importance of what that means.

CLARE:

You’re joking.

(CATHERINE:
nope)

Well... you coulda said. That I

would’ve understood.

(a moment)

Was he there? Did they let him outa

prison?

CATHERINE:

Yeah.

In her pissed state, the implications in CLARE’s brain are

vast and endless.

CLARE:

Wow...

CUT TO:

5 INT. CATHERINE’S HOUSE, CLARE’S BEDROOM. NIGHT 6. 03.27 5

CLARE collapses on the bed. She’s already more or less

comatose the second she hits the deck. CATHERINE comes in

with a bucket and a glass of water. She puts the bucket by

the bed, and the glass of water on the bedside table. CLARE’s

radio alarm tells us that it’s 3.27am. CATHERINE pulls

CLARE’s shoes off, puts her into the recovery position, and

covers her up as best she can so CLARE doesn’t wake up

shivering. CATHERINE looks at oblivious CLARE, and has an

idea. Cut to a minute or so later as CATHERINE comes back in

and puts a note by the glass of water. ‘Ring me. I’m not

cross. C x’

Sorry. Can you do me a favour,

love? Sorry. Can you get Ryan off

to school on time? I’ve got to get

off to work and Clare’s

DANIEL:

Is she all right?

CATHERINE:

God knows. Either way, I can’t see

her surfacing much before dinner

time.

DANIEL:

Okay.

CATHERINE:

I’m sorry to ask, I wouldn’t have,

but

DANIEL:

It’s fine, don’t worry. I’ll drop

him off on my way to work.

CATHERINE:

Tea.

DANIEL:

Thanks.

CATHERINE:

I wish I knew what was going on.

With you.
