31st
December, 4.12pm
It's New Years Eve. To celebrate the New Year, the
residents of Sim Street have went to Paris. Kerry and Dave
are hosting the party in a hotel where everyone is staying.

Kerry:
Isn't the hotel just great?
Dave: Yeah, it's brilliant. I can't believe we have
the whole hotel to ourselves for the weekend!
Kerry: My parents are almost finished decorating the
hall, it looks fantastic.
Dave: Is everybody here?
Kerry: Vanessa and Richard are still to come. They
spent Christmas in Ireland so they've further to travel.
Dave: I thought they were in the country?
Kerry: Yeah, so did I. When I phoned them they said
they spent it in the countryside in Ireland.
Dave: Are Paula and Henry here?
Kerry: They're in their hotel rooms right now, I think.

Kerry:
Wow, mum, you've done a great job in here.
Phyllis: Thanks.
Kerry: And mum, have you found someone to DJ for
tonight?
Phyllis: Rik said he would do it.
Kerry: Really?
Rik: Yeah, I'm up for it.
Phyllis: Kerry, can you hold Kimberley, I've got to
go and make a phone call.

Phyllis: Hi... yeah,
this is Phyllis. I'm just calling to update you guys on the
situation regarding Kerry. We're all at a hotel in Paris for
the week. The hotel is called Hotel Madison. I've spoken
with Kate recently and we almost have all the evidence you
need. Kate has a CCTV video of Dave and her kissing and I
have CCTV footage of Kerry in the hospital at the time of
Lauren's death. I have a voice recorder on me and I'll have
it on me for most of the week. I'm planning on confronting
Kerry soon and I'll record her. If we get a confession from
her then I'll give you the signal to come to the hotel to
arrest her.

4.54pm
Kate: Is it safe here? There isn't any chance of
Kerry or Dave coming in?
Lou: Phyllis promised us that the New Years party
wasn't happening here. They're using the hall situated at
the front of the hotel. This is a bar at the side of the
hotel. Stop worrying.
Kate: I will, I promise.
Lou: Now, come on. I've heard half of the story
behind your fake death. Tell me everything.
Kate: Phyllis will be with us soon so I'll give you
the short story. When I was in the hospital - just after
Kerry shot me - I was in a critical condition but stable.
The police had to wait a few days until they interviewed me.
By the time I was interviewed, Kerry, Dave and Richard had
been interviewed. Therefore, when I told them what happened,
my story was different. The police couldn't arrest anyone
until they had proper evidence. I asked to join the witness
protection scheme despite not being a proper witness. It was
more for my safety because I was released from hospital
within the following week. The police worked together with
the hospital staff and made sure nobody knew about the real
reason behind my disappearance. Kerry and Dave were told I
had died - that was my idea. The police then recruited in
Phyllis - Kerry's mum - who used to be a cop. She's
undercover trying to get the truth from Kerry.
Lou: Wow. But hang on, what about your past?
Kate: The past is exactly that - it's in the past and
won't be coming back to haunt me. The police know I was in
prison in the nineties but I did my time for that.
Lou: What about when you killed someone when you were
a teenager?
Kate: Ssshhh, they don't know about that and
hopefully never will.
Lou: Kerry might tell the police.
Kate: She wouldn't...

Phyllis: Hello Kate.
Hello Lou. I've just gotten off the phone with the police.
Kate: Phyllis, do they know I'm here.
Phyllis: Yes. They're aware of that.
Kate: Okay. So what's the plan?
Phyllis: I'm going to talk to Kerry about things and
I'll see how it goes.
Kate: Do you think she'll confess?
Phyllis: No, she wouldn't normally but I'm her mother
and I know how to make her crack.
Lou: Don't you feel guilty, Phyllis? She's your
daughter.
Phyllis: No, there's no guilt. Just because she's my
daughter, doesn't mean I love or care for her.

Seth: So are any of
you making New Years resolutions then?
Rik: I am.
Lexi: Ooh, tell us. I haven't heard yours yet.
Rik: I've made a few and they're a bit personal.
Lexi: Fine, tell me later then.
Rik: No, they're really personal. I don't want to
say.
Lexi: I'm your girlfriend.
Rik: I'll let you know this time next year if I've
achieved them.

5.34pm
Kerry: You wanted to talk, mother?
Phyllis: I know I've picked an awkward time, dear,
but I needed to ask you something.
Kerry: Go on then.
Phyllis: I was just talking to Lou.
Kerry: Lou's here?! I didn't invite her.
Phyllis: No, I did. This party is for the residents
of Sim Street and that's what she is. So I invited her.
She's in her hotel room right now unpacking. Anyway, as I
was saying, she sort of told me about a rumour that was
going around earlier this year about you.
Kerry: And what is that rumour?
Phyllis: That you shot Lauren and Kate.
Kerry: That's ridiculous!
Phyllis: Is it?
Kerry: I can't believe it! You actually think I did
such a thing!
Phyllis: You've done silly things in the past, Kerry.
It wouldn't have been a first.

Kerry: How dare you!
Phyllis: How dare me?
Kerry: You have no right to through accusations like
that around.
Phyllis: I have reasons to.
Kerry: Mum, why are being like this? It's New Years
eve and you're accusing your daughter of being a murderer.
Why are you trying to cause trouble?
Phyllis: And why are you hiding hotel CCTV footage at
home. Do you have something to hide?
Kerry: Damn it! I knew you'd find those.
Phyllis: You were hardly hiding them, Kerry. All I
had to do was open a wardrobe to find them.
Kerry: (Sighs) Well, I guess you've caught me out...

10.25pm
The New Years party at Hotel Madison started at 7.30pm. All
the residents from Sim Street, including Vanessa and
Richard, are in attendance.

Richard: We've had a
great Christmas haven't we?
Vanessa: Yes, it was brilliant. I've been thinking,
maybe we could move to Ireland. I liked spending Christmas
there.
Richard: Move to Ireland? Really?
Vanessa: I'd like to. It's not like it would be
forever anyway. I have less than a year to live, remember.
Richard: You don't need to remind me.
Vanessa: Ireland is such a beautiful country.
Richard: Which is one of the reason we'll move.
Vanessa: Really?
Richard: It's what you want to do. I'm not going to
let you down.

Henry: Isn't it great
to have a week away from the kids? And work?
Paula: I just hope the kids don't cause my mum much
hassle. I'd hate to return home and find her annoyed with
them.
Henry: They'll be fine, they usually are.
Paula: Oh, and I've been thinking, are we still
moving back to Pleasantview in January?
Henry: It depends, why? Do you still want to?
Paula: I don't know. I mean, why move when we've just
settled in. Plus we're finally socialising with the
neighbours. It's not that bad a place to live after all.
Henry: I can't believe you're saying that.
Paula: Either can I. If I still feel the same way in
a months time then I'll know I mean it.

Dave: Isn't she just
adorable.
Seth: Yes. She reminds me so much of Kerry when she
was a baby.
Dave: What was Kerry like?
Seth: Quiet, very quiet.
Dave: Do you think Kimberley will have Kerry's red
hair or my dark hair?
Seth: It's hard to say. She has your eyes though.

Kerry: Dave!
Dave: Kerry, what is it?
Kerry: We need to talk outside, now.

Dave: Come on Kerry,
what is it?
Kerry: We need to leave Paris.
Dave: What?! And go home? Now?
Kerry: No and yes. We need to leave but we can't go
home.
Dave: Why?

Kerry: My mother knows
I shot Kate and Lauren and then killed Lauren.
Dave: How?
Kerry: She found the CCTV tapes from the hospital.
And then I kind of told her everything.
Dave: Kerry, how could you be so stupid?
Kerry: I don't know. She's just that type of woman
who puts you under immense pressure.
Dave: You don't think she'll say anything, do you?
Kerry: Probably.
Dave: Against her own daughter?
Kerry: Two things you should know Dave: she hates me,
and she's an ex-cop.

Lou: Ooh, look who it
is.
Dave: Lou! Did we invite you?
Lou: No, Phyllis did. And she's told me a lot about
you two, especially you Kerry. Anyway, Happy New Year to
both of you. I'm just away to phone a few friends and
relatives while I can, the phone lines will be jammed later.
Bye.

Kerry: See what I
mean? We have to go.
Dave: Yeah, okay. But what do we do?
Kerry: You, you take Kimberley. We can't leave
together so I'll take our car. You can take a taxi or bus.
Or you can take Rik's car.
Dave: What about passports? Money?
Kerry: That's all in our hotel room on the top floor.
I'll deal with that. Meet me up there in 20 minutes.

Phyllis: I have it.
Kate: What?
Phyllis: I have a confession from Kerry.
Kate: Really? That's brilliant.
Phyllis: Yeah. Well I'm away to phone home and tell
the guys at the police station. I'll be back though. I'll
take in the New Year with you. All the rest of them are
going outside to watch a fireworks display at 12am.
Kate: Thanks.

10.32pm
Rik: (Laughs) Have you heard?
Phyllis: Heard what?
Rik: That rumour about Kerry. I was just talking to
Lou and she said..
Phyllis: Said what?
Rik: You'll never believe this - Lou said that Kerry
killed Kate and Lauren! (Laughs)
Phyllis: You think it's funny?
Rik: Well, only the part about Kerry killing her best
friend.
Phyllis: It's not that funny, Rik.
Rik: Huh?
Phyllis: Think about it, Rik.

10.36pm
Kerry is on her way to her hotel room to gather together her
things.

Kerry: Dave, it's me.
Dave: Hi Kerry.
Kerry: Where are you?
Dave: In the main hall. I'm just trying to get
Kimberley from Seth. He's grown attached to her.
Kerry: Okay, well I'm just on my way to our hotel
room.
Dave: Okay, I'll meet you in 10 to 20 minutes time.
Kerry: Yeah... whoa.
Dave: What is it?
Kerry: The lift's started going down. How strange.

Kerry: The basement.
But how?

Kate: Hi Kerry.
Kerry: Kate! Oh my God! How? What?

Kate: What was that
for?
Kerry: I just want to make sure I'm not
hallucinating... and because you deserve it.

Kate: You are a bitch,
you know that. And I have waited so long to meet you again.
Kerry: Why?
Kate: Because this time you're going down.
Kerry: You've tried to destroy me before but you
didn't get very far. And you won't get any further this time
because it doesn't look like you have any way to kill me
this time.
Kate: Kerry, I don't need to destroy you. You've
already done that to yourself. You confessed all to your
mother - how you tried to kill me, how you killed Lauren.
The police are on their way here and you're going to be
saying hello to the year 2007 in a jail cell.

Kate: (Laughs) I know
you're probably trying to escape but I'm not going to let
you.
Kerry: You'll stay with me until the police arrive
then?
Kate: Yes. I'm not letting you out of my sight,
Kerry.
Kerry: How will you know if the police arrive when
we're stuck in a basement, Kate? And what was the point in
bringing me down here?
Kate: Because before the police get to you, I wanted
to say hello in a very special way, Kerry.

11.23pm
Lexi: What are we doing outside?
Rik: You know my new years resolutions?
Lexi: What about them?
Rik: I think I'm about to achieve one of them.
Lexi: It's not even 2007 yet!
Rik: I know, but I can't wait.

Rik: Lexi I love you.
Lexi: I love you too.
Rik: Ssh, let me finish. Lexi, I love you. We've been
together on and off for years but we've finally settled
down. We have a baby together and we're almost a complete
family.
Lexi: Where is this going?

Rik gets down on one
knee.
Lexi: Rik! Oh my God!
Rik: Lexi, will you marry me?


Lexi: Of course! Of
course I will!

Lexi: Rik, I love you
so much!
Rik: And I love you too.

Kerry: Kate, you're
always at the centre of my problems. Ever since I met you
you've only caused me a load of trouble and problems.
Kate: You bring it all onto yourself, Kerry.
Kerry: I'm not going to let you destroy my life
forever. I'm running away tonight and there's nothing you
can do about it!

Kerry attacks Kate by jumping
on her back.
Kate: Argh! Kerry, get off me.

Kerry: Ouch!
Kate: I am not letting you get away, not if it is the
last thing I ever do.



Kerry: Ha! And you
said you'd bring me down? Look who's crying for help now.
Kate: Kerry, please. I think I'm going to collapse.
Kerry: I'm not helping you. You brought this all on
yourself, Kate.

11.54pm
The residents of Sim Street have left the hall to go
outside to witness a fireworks display at midnight. Richard
and Vanessa are still dancing together.

Richard: I'd much
rather take in the New Year whilst dancing with you than
watching some sparkly crap light up the sky.
Vanessa: Yeah, I feel the same.
Richard: How long to go?
Vanessa: Five minutes now.
Richard: I can't wait, 2007 is going to be such a
great year. I'm going to make it our best yet!

Richard: What's the
matter Vanessa?
Vanessa: (Coughs) I don't know... I can't breath.
Richard: Oh my God, somebody HELP!
Vanessa: Phone for an ambulance.
Richard: I don't have a phone.
Vanessa: Richard I love you.
Richard: Don't say that, I'm away to get help.
Vanessa: I don't think I have much time.
Richard: I love you too, Vanessa. I'll go and get
help.

12.03am
Kate: KERRY! You let me out of here now!

Kerry: Unhappy New
Year Kate!
Kate: Straight back at you. Now let me out!
Kerry: (Laughs) No.
Kate: What a minute, I have keys.
Kerry: No you don't I've stolen them.
Kate: I'll use the elevator.
Kerry: There's no elevator on that side of the door.
Kate: You mean I'm trapped.
Kerry: Oh yes.
Kate: You bitch!
Kerry: Don't worry, I'll leave the keys by the door.
The police can let you out when they get here and you can
tell them how you let me escape.

12.12am
Phyllis: Where are the rest of the police officers?
Leon: They just sent me. They want to make sure you
have the evidence before any arrests are made.
Phyllis: You stupid idiot! Kerry and Dave have gone!
And so has Kate!
Leon: What?
Phyllis: Kerry and Dave haven't been seen since 11pm
and either has Kate.
Leon: Oh no! I'll go and get back up. We can't let
Kerry, Dave or even Kate escape!

12.21am
Dave: Kerry! Where are you? I've been waiting here for
nearly an hour. I even celebrated the New Year alone!

Some noises come from the
stairway.
Dave: Kerry, is that you?

Dave: Oh, it's you.
You haven't seen Kerry have you? Oh! What are you doing with
that?

(Gunshot)


Dave: Arghhh...


12.54am
Kerry has driven from Hotel Madison to the outskirts of
Paris.

Kerry: Hi Dave, it's
me. I'm just leaving this message on your answer phone to
let you know that I couldn't meet you in the hotel. I had to
leave immediately because I got into some trouble. Therefore
you'll have to get our passports, money and clothes. I've
stolen Rik's car so you can take our one. The car keys are
in our hotel room. Phone me when you get this message and
I'll tell you where I'm at. Love you honey. Goodbye.
