TEASER.

FADE IN:

EXT. PARK – DAY.  (DAY 1.)

HIGH PRIESTESS, GABRIELA GACHUPIN, WICCA WANNABE’S & SHADOW.  

The CAMERA opens up on a clearing in the woods.  We pan over to Wicca Want-to-be’s, gathered around a circle, and sat on stones.  Tinkly music plays throughout the scene.  The sun shines down.  It is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year.  Standing in the middle of the circle is an ALTAR.  On the ALTAR sits a brown LEATHER BOOK, CANDLES and flowers.  A HIGH PRIESTESS stands at the ALTAR, chanting.  

CLOSE-UP ON: HIGH PRIESTESS.  

She’s called ANGELA STEVEN’S.  She’s beautiful.  She’s wearing a long-flowing dress.  She’s a Joss Stone look-a-like, and she’s about thirty-three.  

HIGH PRIESTESS. 
(A chant.)
As the sun spiral’s its longest dance, cleanse us.  As nature shows bounty and fertility, bless us.  Let all things live with loving intent and to fulfil their truest destiny.  

The HIGH PRIESTESS finishes the chant off.  

HIGH PRIESTESS (CON’T.)
This is a time to celebrate growth and life but for Pagans, who see balance in the world and are deeply aware of the ongoing shifting of the seasons it is also time to acknowledge that the sun will now begin to decline once more towards winter.  Go in peace, converge the energy on this day and use it to its full potential.  Blessed be.  

In the group of WANNABES, we see a woman, GABRIELA.  She’s wearing a pink dress.  

WICCA WANNABES.  
		Blessed be.  

GABRIELA GACHUPIN.  
		Blessed be.  
The WICCA WANNABE’S get up from the circle of stone seats.  They all chat to their friends, and leave the scene.  GABRIELA walks closer to the HIGH PRIESTESS.  She’s about thirty and Spanish.  She’s beautiful, and she’s a model.  She is wearing a pink top, and jeans to match.  

GABRIELA.  
		That was a beautiful ceremony.  

HIGH PRIESTESS.  
		Thank you Gabriela.  I see you made it?

GABRIELA.  
Yes.  I wasn’t going to because I had a photo shoot.  But it all went pear-shaped.  

The HIGH PRIESTESS picks up the TOOLS she was using for the CEREMONY, and they walk towards the CAR PARK.  

HIGH PRIESTESS.  
		What was the crisis?

GABRIELA.  
		Can I tell you something in confidence? 

HIGH PRIESTESS.  
		Sure, go ahead.  

GABRIELA.
(Whispering.)
I was having a topless photo shoot, and the flash on the camera went off, and I dimmed the flash, without the camera men knowing what happened.  

HIGH PRIESTESS.  
You dimmed the flash? What, do you mean... magically? 

GABRIELA.
		Yeah.  I think I’m a witch.  

HIGH PRIESTESS.  
The only way you could have done it is telekinetically.  Anything is possible today.  It is the Summer Solstice.  You just have to believe in yourself.  (Pause.) I am a witch myself.  Why do you think I’m a High Priestess?

GABRIELA.
		Yeah, I guess you’re right.  

HIGH PRIESTESS.  
If you ever need to talk to me about being a witch, please call me.  Or, you can email me on these...

She takes out a BUSINESS CARD, and hands it to GABRIELA.  

GABRIELA.  
Thanks.  Do you know something, you look like a model yourself.  If you ever wish to go into the modelling business, please, call me on mobile.  

She hands the HIGH PRIESTESS one of her own BUSINESS CARDS.  

HIGH PRIESTESS.  
Why, thank you.  Do you really think I look like a model? I’ll be sure to.  

VOICE (V.O)
She won’t need to, not where she’s going to end up.  

They both walk into the CAR PARK, and up to the HIGH PRIESTESS’S CAR.  In the shadows, behind the trees, we see a SHADOW.  It’s lurking, looking on to the scene.  

HIGH PRIESTESS.  
Yes.  I said I’d be sure to.  Is there something wrong Gabriela?

GABRIELA.  
I just heard a voice saying... never mind.  Look, I’ve got to go.  Remember, give me a call.  

GABRIELA makes the “phone sign” with her fingers, as she walks over to her own CAR.  

HIGH PRIESTESS.  
(To herself.)
		I will.  

The HIGH PRIESTESS goes round to the back of her CAR, and dumps her TOOLS onto the BACK SEAT.  She slams the DOOR shut, and then goes round to the front of the CAR.  In the back of the CAR, there’s a thick, BEADED CURTAIN.  In the BACK SEAT sits the SHADOW.  The HIGH PRIESTESS backs out of the PARKING SPACE, and then drives off.

MAIN TITLES. THEME TUNE: "HAD A BAD DAY," BY DANIEL POTWER.

ACT ONE.  

FADE INTO:

EXT. SCAN OF EBBONY CITY – DAY.  (DAY 1.)

And dissipate on a scan of Ebbony City.  The screen shows the opening credits, and a song plays “You’re Beautiful,” by “James Blunt.” We pan around the CITY.  It is about two or three o’ clock in the afternoon.  The CITY is a beautiful CITY.  It’s unspoilt.  

FADE TO:

EXT. HIGH PRIESTESS’S HOUSE – DAY.  (DAY 1.)

HIGH PRIESTESS & SHADOW.  

And dissipate outside the HIGH PRIESTESS’S HOUSE.  The HOUSE is tall, and of a GEORGIAN STYLE.  The HOUSE is stunning.  Blooming flowers of all different colours line the FRONT LAWN, which is well kept.  The sun still shines in the sky.  The HIGH PRIESTESS’S CAR appears from the ROAD, and drives onto the DRIVEWAY.  She gets out, and then goes into the HOUSE.  She walks up the DRIVEWAY to the FRONT DOOR.  

In the CAR, the SHADOW still sits on the BACK SEAT.  It creeps out and then watches the HIGH PRIESTESS, as she enters the HOUSE, and closes the DOOR.  

SHADOW.  
		Soon Angela.  

The SHADOW continues to watch, and then walks away from the scene.  

As the SHADOW walks away...

FADE TO:

SCENE OMMITTED.  

INT. MAGAZINE OFFICE/PAIGE’S OFFICE – DAY. (DAY 1.) 

PAIGE HADDAWAY & ALEXIS.  

And dissipate into PAIGE’S OFFICE.  PAIGE, 33, tall and pretty.  She’s American.  She’s wearing a red, revealing dress, is sat at her desk, working away on the COMPUTER.  ALEXIS ANDREWS, 33, wearing a black slinky dress, Sindi from Neighbours look-a-like walks into the OFFICE.  PAIGE doesn’t look up from the COMPUTER. 
 
ALEXIS.  
Paige, the photographer has just been on the phone.  

PAIGE.  
		And? Did he say anything about the photos?

ALEXIS.  
There are no photos.  Gabriela freaked and left.  

PAIGE.  
Right, I’ll go home and see to her.  Can you finish up here for me? I’m working on tomorrow’s edition.  

ALEXIS.  
		Sure.  See you tomorrow.  

PAIGE.  
		Yeah, probably.  

PAIGE grabs her JACKET and HANDBAG, and then walks out of the OFFICE.  

CUT TO:

INT. GABRIELA & PAIGE’S FLAT/GABRIELA’S ROOM – DAY.  (DAY 1.)

GABRIELA & PAIGE.  

We FADE INTO: GABRIELA’S ROOM.  CANDLE’S flicker softly, and the light dances on the WALL.  The room is tidy, and relaxing.  It is a good place for meditating.  GABRIELA’S floating above the BED.  She’s meditating.  By the look’s of it, she doesn’t even know what’s happening.  RONAN KEATING’S “Life Is A Rollercoaster,” plays softly on the CD PLAYER, which is standing on the WICCER TABLE.  GABRIELA is chanting, with her eyes closed.  

GABRIELA.  
Light as a feather that floats gently through the air.  I believe in me.  Light as a feather that floats gently through the air.  I believe in me.  Light as a feather that floats gently through the air.  I believe in me.  

SFX: SOUND OF DOOR OPENING.  

PAIGE (O.S)
		Gabriela? I’m home.  

GABRIELA opens her eyes, falls from the air, and lands on the BED with a soft bump.  

GABRIELA.  
(To herself.)
That didn’t even hurt.  (To Paige) In my bedroom, meditating.  

INTERCUT WITH: LIVING ROOM.  

PAIGE walks through the FRONT DOOR, and closes it behind herself.  We pan around the room.  It’s a tidy room, big and spacious.  Everything is in order.  BOOK SHELVES line the WALLS.  

PAIGE.  
		Gabriela? There’s post.  Bills etcetera.  

PAIGE walks through room into GABRIELA’S ROOM.  

CUT TO:

INT. GABRIELA AND PAIGE’S FLAT/GABRIELA’S ROOM – DAY.  (DAY 1.)

GABRIELA & PAIGE.  

PAIGE walks into the ROOM.  GABRIELA is sat on the BED.  RONAN KEATING continues to play in the background.  

GABRIELA.  
		Just meditating.  How come you’re home early?

PAIGE.  
I gave myself the afternoon off.  I know that you left the photo shoot.  

GABRIELA.  
		How’d you know that?

PAIGE.
Alexis told me.  The shoot was your big break.  If you got into the Magazine, you’d be all over the place and be a big shot again.  

GABRIELA.
I know.  I had to get out of there though.  I’d had a bad day.  How’s the magazine doing, anyway?

PAIGE.
It isn’t.  We would have made a lot of money from that shoot, if you had gone through with it.  

GABRIELA.  
		I’m sowwy.  

PAIGE.  
		It’s ok.  

GABRIELA.  
Can’t I re-schedule the photo shoot? I promise I’ll behave this time.  

PAIGE.  
Well, seeing as I own the Magazine, go on then.  I’ll re-schedule it for you for tomorrow.  

GABRIELA.  
Are we going to the opening of that new Club tonight?

PAIGE.  
Sure.  The Magazine is going to be doing a piece about it anyway, so, I might as well be there also.  

GABRIELA.  
Did you say there were bills? Great, more money that I need to spend.  

PAIGE.  
Go and run yourself a relaxing bath, and I’ll worry about those bills.  

PAIGE heads for the DOOR.  

GABRIELA.  
		You’re a good friend, do you know that?

PAIGE.  
		Yes, I do.  

PAIGE walks out of the ROOM, and GABRIELA gathers her BATH stuff.  

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. MICHAEL WALKER’S FLAT/BEDROOM – DAY.  (DAY 1.)

MICHAEL WALKER, AND CHRISTINA WALKER.  

And dissipate into MICHAEL’S BEDROOM.  The CAMERA pans to the DOUBLE BED.  MICHAEL and his WIFE are reading.  CHRISTINA is reading a HAIR STYLE MAGAZINE.  MICHAEL is reading a STAR WARS PAPERBACK. 

MICHAEL WALKER, 28, ENGLISH.  He’s a rough-character.  He’s got a goatee.  

CHRISTINA WALKER, 30, ENGLISH.  She’s beautiful, like an angel.  Alyssa Milano type person.  

MICHAEL.  
(As he puts the book down) That’s it! I’ve had enough! Can we take a break?

CHRISTINA.  
Sure.  (puts the magazine down) Are we going to that new Club that’s opening tonight?

 MICHAEL.  
		Sure.  It will be good to get out of the flat.  

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. GABRIELA’S FLAT/BATHROOM – DAY.  (DAY 1.)

GABRIELA & PAIGE.  

And dissipate onto the BATHROOM SCENE.  The BATHROOM is lovely.  Romantic.  GABRIELA’S sat in the BATH.  Love music plays in the background.  PAIGE walks into the ROOM.  

GABRIELA.  
		Give me ten minutes and I’ll be finished.  

PAIGE.
Nah, it is okay.  I’ll just get in the shower.  You can continue with your bath, can you not? It’s not as if we’re lovers or something.  
GABRIELA.
Sure you can.  It’s your flat as much as it is mine.  You pay half of the bills.  

PAIGE
(Sarcastically)
		Half?

PAIGE strips her clothes off, and walks into the WALK-IN SHOWER.  GABRIELA continues to take her BATH.  We hear water pouring from the SHOWER.  

VOICE (V.O)
Something terrible was going to happen that night. 

GABRIELA.  
		Did you say something Paige?

PAIGE.  
No.  You know that I go into a kind-of trance when I’m in the shower.  The water makes me do it.  I could get up to anything.    

GABRIELA
		But the shower has a severe lack of men.

PAIGE
Pity.  So what’s up?  The photo shoot and stuff. Is there anything wrong?
GABRIELA.
No.  I’ve just been hearing voices all day, that’s all.  

PAIGE.  
You would have heard voices at the Photo Shoot silly.  The Camera Men talking.  

GABRIELA.  
Not just at the Photo Shoot.  I heard voices at the “Summer Solstice Ceremony,” as well.  

PAIGE.  
You went to that thing? It’s just a bunch of nonsense.  A group of women sat around a circle, pretending they’re all witches with magical powers, listening to some woman yapping on about the sun in the sky.  I’d rather watch the weather.  

GABRIELA.  
For you’re information, it was a great ceremony.  You learn a lot of things by going to them? And you would know this because? You were there, weren’t you?

PAIGE.  
No I bloody well wasn’t.  The Camera Crew from the Newspaper was there shooting pictures.  Like they do every year.  

GABRIELA.  
See, they take pictures every year, so it must be good.  

PAIGE.  
What-ever.  I don’t have the time to be yapping about this.  I have to have this shower, and then take about a half-an-hour to get dressed and then get to the Club for the stupid Photo Shoot.  

GABRIELA.  
And how are you getting there? You don’t own a car.  

PAIGE.  
My new boyfriend is picking me up and taking me there.  I told you about Daniel.  He’s the owner of the Club.  

GABRIELA.  
How many men is that now? I’m not even going to ask.  Right, it is time to get ready.  

GABRIELA empties the water from the BATH and then grabs a TOWEL from the TOWEL RACK on the WALL.  She wraps the TOWEL around herself, and then gets out of the BATH.  She walks out of the BATHROOM.  PAIGE goes into a trance-like position in the SHOWER.  

FADE OUT:

END OF ACT ONE.  

ACT TWO.  

FADE IN:

INT. GABRIELA AND PAIGE’S FLAT/GABRIELA’S ROOM – DAY.  (DAY 1.)

GABRIELA & PAIGE.  

And open the CAMERA up on GABRIELA’S ROOM.  GABRIELA is standing in front of her floor-to-ceiling MIRROR, putting the finishing touches to her makeup.  PAIGE walks into the ROOM, wearing a black satin dress.  GABRIELA’S wearing a pink satin dress that matches.  

PAIGE.  
		Are you nearly ready?

GABRIELA.  
		Nearly.  

She tops her lipstick up, and grabs her PURSE from the DRESSING TABLE.  

GABRIELA (CON’T)
		Finished.  

PAIGE.  
		Do you want a ride? Daniel’s picking me up.  

GABRIELA.  
Go on then.  He might as well.  It saves me walking through town.  

GABRIELA and PAIGE walk out of GABRIELA’S ROOM, and into the LIVING ROOM.  

SFX: DOORBELL.  

PAIGE.  
		That will be Daniel.  

PAIGE and GABRIELA walk over to the DOOR.  PAIGE opens the door, and a guy is standing there.  It is DANIEL, PAIGE’S new BOYFRIEND.  

DANIEL, 30, tall, handsome, and cool.  He’s wearing SUNGLASSES and a BLACK SUIT.  

PAIGE walks up to him.  DANIEL grabs her and holds her tight.  They embrace a kiss.  
PAIGE.  
		Gabby, meet Daniel.  

GABRIELA.  
(Lost for words/squeaky.)
		Hi.  

DANIEL.  
(Giving Gabriela a wave.)
		Hi.  Are we ready to go?

GABRIELA.  
		Yes.  I need to grab a bit more money.  

DANIEL.  
There is no need to.  Drinks are on the house tonight.  

GABRIELA.  
		Oh, okay then.  

DANIEL and PAIGE head for the door.  GABRIELA grabs some money anyway and stuffs it into her bag.  She heads out of the door after DANIEL and PAIGE.  

FADE TO:

EXT. TOWN DAY – (DAY 1.)

The CAMERA does a spin around the town, and dissolves to:

EXT. DAN-CE THE NIGHT AWAY – DAY.  (DAY 1.)

PERSON, DANIEL, GABRIELA & EXTRAS.  

And dissolves just outside the CLUB.  On top of the CLUB, sits a sign.  In big neon letters, it says: DAN-CE THE NIGHT AWAY.  Each letter individually flashing.  A the CLUB’S ENTRANCE, stands a long line of people waiting to get in.  There’s a RIBBON LINE, waiting to be cut.  DANIEL’S CAR, a BLACK PORSCHE pulls up into the CAR PARK.  The crowd woo and cheer at the CAR.  DANIEL, PAIGE and GABRIELA get out of the CAR.  They walk through the CROWD.  Somebody grumbles at the three of them for skipping the queue.  

PERSON.  
		Hey! There’s a line here! 

DANIEL.
I am the owner you know.  So, technically I can skip the queue.  

PERSON.  
Okay then.  (Points to Gabriela and Paige.) but, what about those two?

DANIEL.  
		My girlfriend her best friend.  

PERSON.  
		Oh, okay then.  

DANIEL, PAIGE and GABRIELA carry-on through the crowd.  The BOUNCER hands DANIEL a pair of SCISSORS.  He cuts the line.  

DANIEL.  
		And Dan-Ce The Night Away is open.  

Everyone claps and cheers, and DANIEL, PAIGE and GABRIELA walk down the STEPS into the CLUB.  

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. DAN-CE THE NIGHT AWAY – DAY.  (DAY 1.)

DANIEL, PAIGE, GABRIELA, GREEN DAY, DJ, CHRISTINA, MICHAEL & EXTRAS.  

And dissipate onto the ENTRANCE AREA of the CLUB.  The INTERIOR of the CLUB is stunning.  The STAGE AREA is lit, and the lights are dancing around the CLUB.  A SEATING AREA, with soft sofas, chairs and TABLES, sits above the DANCE FLOOR.  TABLES are ready, waiting for the CUSTOMERS.  Some of the CUSTOMERS are already in the AREA.  More appear from the ENTRANCE AREA.  Pan over to the BAR AREA, where DANIEL, PAIGE & GABRIELA are standing.  DANIEL is standing behind the BAR AREA, with his staff helping him.  He takes a BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE from the FRIDGE, and two GLASSES from the SHELVE.  

DANIEL.  
Drinks, on the house, for two of my most beautiful customers.  

He hands the two GLASSES OF CHAMPAGNE to GABRIELA and PAIGE.  

DANIEL (CON’T.)
		To the opening of my Club.  

PAIGE/GABRIELA.  
		To the opening of your Club.  

GREEN DAY, special MUSIC STAR, appears on the STAGE. DANIEL, PAIGE and GABRIELA clink their GLASSES together.  

DJ.  
For a one night only, for the opening of Dan-Ce The Night Away, Green Day everybody!

The CROWD claps and cheers.  

DJ (CON’T.)
		They’re gonna play “When September Ends.”

GREEN DAY, start up their music, and then they start to sing.  The crowd begins dancing, and then we pan back to the BAR AREA.  

GABRIELA.
		How did you manage to book Green Day?

DANIEL.  
I have a mother in the music profession.  She is the one that booked them.  

PAIGE, talking on her MOBILE PHONE, snaps it shut.  

PAIGE.  
That was Alexis.  She’s managed to book another Photo Shoot for you tomorrow.  

DANIEL.  
Photo Shoot? Are you a model or something? Paige never mentioned it.  

GABRIELA.  
		I used to be a model.  Can’t get any work.  

DANIEL.  
Has the place for the Photo Shoot been decided on yet? 

PAIGE.  
No.  We were just going to do it at the Magazine this time.  Why? Have you got a suggestion?

DANIEL.  
Yeah, here.  You can do it here tomorrow if you want.  It’s closed during the day anyway.  

GABRIELA.  
		It’s a perfect place.  Thank you Daniel.  

DANIEL.  
		You’re welcome.  

We pan away from the BAR AREA, through the Crowd, who are dancing away, over to MICHAEL and CHRISTINA, who are sat in the SEATING AREA, kissing each other.  

CHRISTINA.  
		Good music.  Green Day are a good band.  

MICHAEL.
		Yeah, but you’re even better.  

CHRISTINA.
		Why thank you.  

They continue to kiss.  

MICHAEL.  
Kissing is good, but do you know what would be better?

CHRISTINA.  
		No...

MICHAEL.  
You know.  Meet you in the Bathroom in five minutes.  

MICHAEL gets up from where he’s sat, and he walks through the Crowd, towards the toilets.  

CHRISTINA.  
		Ahh, so that’s what he wants.  

CHRISTINA picks up her drink, and starts to finish it off.  We pan through the Crowd, who continue dancing.  

FADE TO:
MICHAEL, CHRISTINA & EXTRAS.  

We dissipate into the BATHROOM.  PEOPLE are there, doing their business.  The BATHROOM is immaculate, spotless and white.  We dissolve into a CUBICLE:
CUBICLE:

MICHAEL is standing inside.  He’s getting undressed, we see his body.  

CUT TO:

CHRISTINA walking into the BATHROOM.  Some of the people leave, and she sees a CUBICLE DOOR ajar.  She walks over to it, and through it, looking behind herself, seeing if any of the people are looking, but they aren’t.  She walks in and closes the door behind herself.  

CUT TO:

CUBICLE:

CHRISTINA walks into the CUBICLE, closing the DOOR behind herself.  MICHAEL’S standing naked.  

MICHAEL.  
		Is there anybody outside?

CHRISTINA.  
Yes, but they were oblivious to me coming into this Cubicle.  

MICHAEL.  
All “normal” people seem to be oblivious to people having sex.  You can’t have sex in public, because it is seen ad being not “normal.” 

CHRISTINA.  
		Well, you are, so, get used to it.  

MICHAEL.  
		Yes, and it’s normal.  

CHIRSTINA starts to strip her clothes off.  MICHAEL locks the CUBICLE DOOR, and then rubs his hand down CHRISTINA’S body.  

CHRISTINA.  
		Got any condoms?

MICHAEL.  
No.  I thought you had some.  That’s why I invited you into the Bathroom.  

CHRISTINA.
I have none whatsoever.  We used them all today.  

MICHAEL.  
So, we don’t need any.   

CHRISTINA.  
		But, I don’t want a baby?

MICHAEL.  
I’ll be careful then.  

CHRISTINA.
		No.  You’re my first.  Have you?

MICHAEL.  
		Yes.  I’ve had about twenty.  

CHRISTINA.  
Oh well, you’re my first, my last, my everything.  

MICHAEL.  
		Don’t be silly.  You’ll get to know other men.  

CHRISTINA finishes undressing.  

MICHAEL walks over to CHRISTINA, and he starts to make love to his wife.  

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. DAN-CE THE NIGHT AWAY/BAR AREA – DAY.  (DAY 1.)

GREEN DAY, DJ, DANIEL, PAIGE, GABRIELA, ALEXIS & EXTRAS.  

GREEN DAY is on the STAGE belting out “American Idiot.” The crowd are still dancing.  “American Idiot,” finishes, and everyone claps and cheers.  

DJ.  
Green Day everybody! They are going to take a little break just now, so I’d advise you to go and get a drink.  

GREEN DAY walk off the STAGE, and we pan over to the BAR AREA of the CLUB, where DANIEL, PAIGE and GABRIELA are standing.  

GABRIELA.
		That song was excellent.  

DANIEL.  
Yeah, it was.  Do you two want another drink, on the house, of course.  

GABRIELA.  
(In a humorous tone.)
		Yes, only if it is on the house.  

VOICE (V.O)
Something big is going to go down tonight you know.  

GABRIELA.  
		Would you stop doing that?

DANIEL.  
		Stop doing what?

A WOMAN, a CHARLOTTE CHURCH look-a-like, looking so much like her that you could mistake her for her, walks over to the BAR.  DANIEL, GABRIELA, and PAIGE stare for  few seconds.  

WOMAN.  
		Can I have a double vodka please?

DANIEL.  
		Sure.  

He pours her a DOUBLE VODKA, and then hands it to her.  

DANIEL.  
		Two ninety-nine please.  

WOMAN.  
		Thanks.  

The WOMAN hands the money, a FIVE POUND NOTE over to DANIEL.  DANIEL, rings it up on the TILL, and then hands her change to her.  

DANIEL.  
		2 pounds and one pence change.  

WOMAN.  
		Thanks.   

ALEXIS wearing a black satin dress walks to the BAR AREA.  

ALEXIS.
Sorry I’m late.  I had a bit of work to do at the magazine, didn’t realise the Club was opening tonight.  Was that Charlotte Church by any chance?

PAIGE.  
Glad you could make it Alexis.  No, it was just a good look-a-like.  Guess what she asked for?

ALEXIS.  
		She didn’t ask for a double vodka, did she?

DANIEL.  
		Yeah.  

ALEXIS.  
		Can I have a glass of G&T?

DANIEL.  
		Sure thing.  

He goes over and pours ALEXIS a GLASS OF GIN AND TONIC.  He hands it to her across the BAR.  
DANIEL (CON’T.)
		On the house.  

ALEXIS.  
		Oh.  Okay then.  

GREEN DAY walk back on to the STAGE, and the CROWD clap and cheer again.  GREEN DAY start their song up, “Time Of Your Life,” and the CROWD continue to dance.  

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. DAN-CE THE NIGHT AWAY – DAY.  (DAY 1.)

DANIEL, PAIGE, GABRIELA, ALEXIS & EXTRAS.  

The CAMERA flashes in and out of the CLUB.  It’s half-an-hour later.  DANIEL, PAIGE, GANBRIAL and ALEXIS are still at the BAR AREA.  They crowd are still dancing, and GREEN DAY are continuing to sing.  

GABRIELA.  
I am going to go back to the Flat.  I’ve got a few things to do in the morning.  

DANIEL.  
		Do you want me to drop you off?

PAIGE.  
		And what about me? I’m here.  

DANIEL.  
I could drop Gabriela off at the flat, and then drive back here.  

GABRIELA.  
No.  I’ll walk through the town.  I am a big girl you know.  

PAIGE.  
I’ll see you tomorrow morning then.  Do you want me to walk with you?

GABRIELA.  
		No.  I told you I could walk myself home.  

PAIGE.  
		Okay then.  See you tomorrow.  

DANIEL.  
		See you here tomorrow at the Club then.  

GABRIELA.  
		Bye.  

GABRIELA leaves the BAR, and then walks through the CROWD, and up the stairs.  

FADE TO:

EXT. CITY STREETS – DAY.  (DAY 1.)

GABRIELA, MAN & DOG.  

The sun has sunken low, yet we can still see it.  It casts an eerie light across the street.  The thumping of the music, protruding from the CLUB, wafts through the street, as GABRIELA walks.  A MAN is out walking his DOG.  RUBBISH blows in the wind.  

GABRIELA.  
I hate the city streets at night.  They are creepy.  

VOICE (V.O)
		Well, you did get asked if you wanted a lift.  
GABRIELA is oblivious to this voice.  She continues to walk through the STREET.  

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. HIGH PRIESTESS’S HOUSE – NIGHT.  (NIGHT 1.)

And dissipate in the BACK GARDEN of the HIGH PRIESTESS’S HOUSE.  It is dark and creepy.  The HIGH PRIESTESS is putting some RUBBISH in the BINS.  She wheels them down to the FRONT OF THE HOUSE, on the KERBSIDE, where she lets them go.  The HIGH PRIESTESS walks around to the BACK GARDEN, and goes back into the house, and locks the DOOR.  

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. HIGH PRIESTESS’S HOUSE/KITCHEN – NIGHT.  (NIGHT 1.)

HIGH PRIESTESS & SHADOW. 

The KICTHEN is dark and immaculate.  There’s a DOOR, that leads down to the cellar.  It quietly opens, just been oiled.  Out walks the SHADOW, and quietly walks into the HALLWAY.  The HALLWAY is dark, and it walks into the LIVING ROOM, where the HIGH PRIESTESS is sat watching TV.  The HIGH PRIESTESS gets up from where she is sitting.   

HIGH PRIESTESS.  
		Oh, it’s you.  What did you come round for?

The SHADOW takes a KNIFE out of its POCKET.  With gloves on, so that there will be no finger prints on the handle, he STABS the HIGH PRIESTESS in the CHEST.  She gasps, and falls to the GROUND, blood spattering onto the CARPET.  

SHADOW.  
		This.  

The SHADOW takes the KNIFE out of the HIGH PRIESTESS’S chest.  It walks back into the KITCHEN, and back through the CELLAR.  

FADE OUT:

END OF ACT TWO.  

ACT THREE.  

FADE IN:

EXT. CITY STREETS – DAY.  (DAY.)

It’s a brand new day.  The sun is up.  The weather is hot.  We pan around the CITY, to: GABRIELA & PAIGE’S FLAT.  

PAN TO:

INT. GABRIELA & PAIGE’S FLAT – DAY.  (DAY 2.)

GABRIELA & PAIGE.  

The LIVING ROOM is silent, left the way it was the night before.  PAIGE walks out of her BEDROOM, in a NIGHTY.  Her hair is messy.  She walks into the KITCHEN, and sticks the KETTLE on.  

PAIGE.  
		Gabby? Are you up?

Right on cue, GABRIELA walks through the FRONT DOOR OF THE FLAT.  She has NEWSPAPER in her hand, and a SHOPPING BAG in the other.  She is reading the NEWSPAPER.  She looks shocked, and tears are rolling down her eyes and down her face.  

PAIGE.  
What is wrong with you? You looked like you saw a ghost, and knew it.  

GABRIELA.  
Not a ghost, but I did know her. (Pause/reading from newspaper) I was just reading the Newspaper and it says last night a woman was murdered in her Georgian home in the City of Ebbony.  The woman was identified as Angela Stevens, thirty-three.  She was stabbed and murdered last night around midnight.  

PAIGE.  
Oh, how sad.  You can’t even sit in your own home without being afraid of getting murdered, because you probably will get murdered.   

GABRIELA.
It’s not that.  I know (thinking) knew Angela.  She was the High Priestess at the Ceremony yesterday.  Do you know what the last thing I said to her was?

FLASHBACK.  EXT. WOODS/CLEARING – DAY.  

GABRIELA & HIGH PRIESTESS.  

In her flashback, GABRIELA sees the scene that she was talking to the HIGH PRIESTESS.  GABRIELA and the HIGH PRIESTESS are chatting to each other.  We see the SHADOW lurking in the trees, but it is GABRIELA watching the scene.  The GABRIELA and HIGH PRIESTESS cannot see her.  

GABRIELA.  
I just heard a voice saying... never mind.  Look, I’ve got to go.  Remember, give me a call.  

GABRIELA makes the “phone sign” with her fingers, as she walks over to her own CAR.

END OF FLASHBACK.  

INT. GABRIELA & PAIGE’S FLAT – DAY.  (DAY 2.)

The scene is the same as before.  

GABRIELA.  
And that is what I said to her.  I knew Angela.  The police are going to want to speak to me.  They’re going to think that I murdered her.  

GABRIELA takes another look at the NEWSPAPER, and tells her what happened.

GABRIELA.  
It says that there was no sign of forced entry into the house.  The back and front doors are locked, yet there is a murdered woman in her home.  

PAIGE.
I’m sorry that I said she was pretending to be a witch with magical powers.  

GABRIELA.
(To herself.)
		She was a witch with magical powers, yes.  

PAIGE.  
		I’m sorry.  Did you say something to me?

GABRIELA.  
No.  I was talking to myself.  I knew Angela though.  She was a sweet woman.  I wonder who wanted to kill her.  Who would kill her? She was friends with everybody.  I can’t think of anyone who would do such a thing.  

PAIGE.  
I don’t know.  Can’t you leave it to the Police to figure it out?

GABRIELA.  
No.  I can’t let the police do it.  I am going to find out who killed her and have them locked up for it.  Angela would want me to do it.  I knew her.  

PAIGE.  
You are not doing anything in the state that you’re in now.  I’ll make you some breakfast and a cup of tea.  Go and take a shower, and by the time you are finished breakfast will be ready.  

GABRIELA.  
Okay.  And then I am going to find out who killed her.  

PAIGE.  
Yes.  and then you can investigate and find out who killed her.  

GABRIELA walks out of the ROOM towards her BEDROOM.  PAIGE begins to make the BREAKFAST.  

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. MICHAEL WALKER’S FLAT/BEDROOM – DAY.  

MICHAEL & PHOEBE MACGREGOR.  

MICHAEL and PHOEBE are rolling about on the BED together, making love to each other.  MICHAEL has been having an affair with PHOEBE for a while now.  PHOEBE is a HOLLY MARIE COMBS look-a-like.  They’re making noise, when the FRONT DOOR opens.  

MICHAEL.
Shit! That’s Christina back.  (Thinking.) Quick, get in the Closet.  

PHOEBE.  
		What? We aren’t already in there?

MCIHAEL.  
		Do it now.  I don’t want her to find you.  

PHOEBE runs across the screen, naked, and runs into the CLOSET.  She closes the DOOR behind himself, and MICHAEL runs about the room, hiding PHOEBE’S belongings.  CHRSITINA walks into the ROOM, and MICHAEL wraps himself around her.  

CHRISTINA.  
Oh my god! You’re bulging down below.  Did you have a woman in here?

MICHAEL.  
You know I would never have an affair sweetie.  (Thinking and lying.) No, I just got up.  

CHRISTINA.  
		I just came back for something.  

She walks over to the CLOSET, and MICHAEL grips his mouth with his teeth.  CHRISTINA opens the CLOSET, and takes something from a SHELF.  She closes the DOOR, walks past MICHAEL, kisses him and walks out of the ROOM.  

CHRISTINA.  
		Bye.  

MICHAEL.  
		Bye.  

The FRONT DOOR closes.  PHOEBE falls out of the CLOSET.  

PHOEBE.  
		I thought she was going to find me.  

MICHAEL.  
Shush lover.  She’ll never find out that we’re doing each other.  We’d better do it at your house from now on.  

MICHAEL and PHOEBE wrap their arms around each other, and they kiss.  MICHAEL slaps PHOEBE’S bum, and they jump into bed together.  
FADE TO:

INT. GABRIELA & PAIGE’S FLAT – DAY.  (DAY 2.)

GABRIELA & PAIGE.  

PAIGE and GABRIELA are sat on the SOFA, eating their BREAKFAST’S.  The TV is on.  

CLOSE UP TO: TELEVISION.  

The NEWSREPORTER is standing outside ANGELA STEVENS HOME. The NESREPORTER is about thirty-eight.  Smartly, dressed in a black suit, holding a MICROPHONE in her hand.  The POLICEMEN are walking around, everyone’s in a sombre mood.  The NEIGHBOURHOOD’S PEOPLE walk around, crying, and talking quietly to each other.  

NEWSREPORTER.
This is Anne Lawless reporting for Channel Three news here.  Last night, a woman was brutally murdered in her home on Munroe Road in Ebbony City.  The woman has been identified as Angela Stevens, thirty three.  She was murdered in her hallway and stabbed in the chest and then left for dead.  The murder happened around midnight last night.  There was no sign of forced entry into the house; in fact, there’s no sign of entry at all.  The door was locked, so how on earth could a murder of happened at all? Over to John Marx, who has news of last nights terrible attack. 

CUT TO:

INT. ANGELA STEVEN’S HOUSE/KITCHEN – DAY.  

JOHN MARX, ANGELA STEVENS (DEAD BODY) & POLICEMEN.  

We cut to the inside of the house, still on the TV.  The KITCHEN is full of POLICEMEN and JOHN MARX, the NEWSREPORTER.  JOHN MARX is about twenty-eight, dressed in a suit, holding his MICROPHONE.  

JOHN MARX.
Yes Anne, Angela was brutally murdered here last night.  News has just come through that she was stabbed at midnight.  The murder weapon has still yet to be found.  It’s believed that Angela was part of some occult.  Could this attack be due to occult TV Shows such as: “Buffy The Vampire Slayer,” “Doctor Who,” and “Charmed?” Is wicca something that we want our children growing up with? Will this situation be the start of many attacks on people in Ebbony City? Should these so-called witches be allowed to roam the City at night? We now go over to Inspector Halliwell, who will talk to us.  

JOHN hands the MICROPHONE over to INSPECTOR HALLIWELL, who’s about forty-four, in full-length Uniform, smart, hair gelled back.  

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.  
That’s right John.  Angela was part of an occult.  Beside Angela was found this necklace.  

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL holds a necklace up.  It’s gold, with a pendant on the end.  

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.  
This was found at the scene.  Is there anybody out there with news of who’s necklace this is? It is important that you tell us, because it could be a crucial piece of evidence.  There was no sign of a struggle with Angela.  She was just stabbed and then she fell to the ground and the killer just ran away.  Whoever did this is a coward and is not fit to be roaming the streets of Ebbony.  Please get in touch with us if you have any news that could help us solve this horrible case.  Back to you John.  

He hands the MICROPHONE back to JOHN.  

JOHN MARX.  
Thanks Inspector.  Well, this case looks as if it could go on for days.  If you have any info, please contact Ebbony Police Station on 555 0237.  There’ll sure to be a news update of there’s any news on this horrible murder.  Back to you Anne.  

CUT TO:
EXT. ANGELA STEVENS HOUSE – DAY.  

ANNE LAWLESS & EXTRAS.  

ANNE continues to stand on MONROE STREET.  

ANNE LAWLESS.  
Thanks John.  We’ll be back if there’s any news.  Back to you Allan in the Studio.  

CUT TO: GABRIELA & PAIGE’S FLAT.  

The scene is the same.  GABRIELA and PAIGE are sat on the SOFA.  

PAIGE.  
That is so bad.  Witchcraft is wrong, yes.  People want locking up for practicing it, and even for believing it is right, because, witchcraft does not exist.  

GABRIELA.  
Some people think it does exist.  What about the Witch Trial’s? Innocent women were trialled and then burnt or hanged for being a witch.  Yes, some of them were witches, but most of them weren’t.  

PAIGE.  
Are you a witch? Have you made a pact with the devil?

GABRIELA.  
(To herself.)
		Maybe, I think so, I don’t actually know.  
CUT TO TV SCREEN:

JOHN MARX is on the TV.  He is holding a NECKLACE up.  

NEWSREPORTER.  
John Marx here.  This necklace was found at the murder scene.  

He holds the necklace up, and shows it to the audience who are watching the News.  

CUT BACK TO: GABRIELA & PAIGE’S FLAT.  

PAIGE gasps as the NECKLACE is held up on the TV SCREEN.  

GABRIELA.  
		What is wrong?

PAIGE.  
Nothing.  I just have the same necklace that’s all.  It looks exactly the same as the one that I have.  

GABRIELA.  
Don’t worry, it is probably somebody else’s.  There must be thousands of people in this city that has a necklace like that.  

PAIGE.  
		Yeah, I guess you’re right.  

They both continue to eat until they are finished.  

GABRIELA.  
I am going out to investigate the murder of my friend.  I’ll start out at the woods where the ceremony happened, and then I’ll see where I go from there.  

PAIGE.  
What-ever.  Make sure you’re at the Club lunchtime.  

GABRIELA.  
		Why?

PAIGE.
		The photo shoot.  Remember?

GABRIELA.  
		Photo shoot.  Damn! I forgot.  Can’t I...

PAIGE.  
Re-schedule? Gabby, no you cannot.  You promised that you would turn up to it today.  I can’t afford to re-schedule.  Business is not booming.  If I re-schedule and re-schedule all of the time, then I am going to go bankrupt.  

GABRIELA.  
If you want some money, then just ask me and I shall give you some.  

PAIGE.
I don’t want your money.  Keep your money.  I want to make my own money.  I set the magazine business up because I wanted to be my own boss.  I don’t want to owe a debt to anybody.  

GABRIELA.  
		What-ever.  I am going out.  

GABRIELA heads towards the FRONT DOOR, and opens it.  

PAIGE.  
		Make sure you are at the...

GABRIELA.  
		Club.  Yeah yeah.  I’ll be there.  

GABRIELA walks out of the DOOR.  

PAIGE.  
		You had better be.  

The DOOR closes behind GABRIELA, and PAIGE turns the TV CHANNEL over, and gulps as if she had done something.  

CUT TO:

EXT. WOODS/CLEARING/CAR PARK – DAY.  (DAY 2.)

GABRIELA & VOICE.  

GABRIELA’S CAR arrives in the CAR PARK.  She cuts the ENGINE to her CAR and then gets out, closing the DOOR behind herself.  

GABRIELA.  
		Where do I start investigating.  

GABRIELA walks around the scene, looking for some clues and answers to her questions.  

GABRIELA (CON’T.)
		Who killed her for a start?

VOICE (V.O)
You will find out for sure when it is time for you to do so.  

GABRIELA.  
For god sake.  Will you stop talking to me? Why am I hearing you’re voice? Who are you?
VOICE (V.O)
		Part of someone you know very well.  

GABRIELA has another flashback to the day before.  

FLASHBACK.  EXT. WOODS/CLEARING – DAY.  (DAY 1.)

GABRIELA & HIGH PRIESTESS.  

GABRIELA has another flashback to the previous day.  It is from the scene where she thinks she is a witch.  Standing in the BACKGROUND, is the SHADOW, which is GABRIELA again.  

GABRIELA.  
(Whispering.)
I was having a topless photo shoot, and the flash on the camera went off, and I dimmed the flash, without the camera men knowing what happened.  

HIGH PRIESTESS.  
You dimmed the flash? What, do you mean... magically?

GABRIELA.  
		Yeah.  I think I’m a witch.  

HIGH PRIESTESS.  
Anything is possible on the Summer Solstice.  You just have to believe in yourself.  (Pause) (Quietly) I am a witch myself.  Why do you think I’m a High Priestess? 

GABRIELA.  
		Yeah, I guess you’re right.  

END OF FLASHBACK.  

EXT. WOODS/CLEARING/CAR PARK – DAY.  (DAY 2.)

GABRIELA, POLICEMEN & VOICE.  

The scene is the same, just before GABRIELA had her flashback.  She has walked over to where the HIGH PRIESTESS gave her speech to the WICCA WANNABES.  Some POLICEMEN are walking around, doing their investigations.  

GABRIELA.  
		Salem Investigations.  

VOICE (V.O)
(Chuckling.)
		Do you know that one was actually quite funny.  

GABRIELA.  
		What does all of this mean?

VOICE (V.O)
		All of what mean?

GABRIELA.  
This.  The murder.  A woman, a High Priestess, a Witch in other words, was murdered.  She was murdered at her home, her kind of “Sanctuary...”

GABRIELA cuts off, as something flies towards her.  She ducks, and the thing falls softly to the ground, just in front of her.  She picks it up, finding that it is a piece of PAPER.  

GABRIELA (CON’T.)
And I’m just finding out that I’m a witch and I can make objects fly towards me.  

The piece of PAPER is folded.  GABRIELA unfolds it, and it reads the words: “Shannon Oliver.”

GABRIELA (CON’T.)
And I’m finding pieces of paper with words written on it (changing her mind) forget that, names written on it, and I don’t even know what the name means.  

VOICE (V.O)
This could be the start of a very long investigation.  

GABRIELA.  
		I know.  And where do I go from here?

GABRIELA walks over to where the POLICEMEN are standing.  

VOICE (V.O)
		Here is where you go.  

POLICEMAN #1.  
What are you doing here? This is a scene of investigation.  The public isn’t allowed on scenes of investigation.  

GABRIELA.
I don’t see any tape cordoning the area off, do you? Any way, I’m here to investigate why one of my friends has so mysteriously died.  

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL walks onto the scene, after just listening from a distance to what GABRIELA has just said.  

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.  
Angela was your friend? I am so sorry for your loss, miss... whatever your name is, but this is a Crime Scene  

GABRIELA.  
Nobody died here, so, technically this isn’t a Crime Scene.  Angela died in her home, and it is Miss Gachupin, Gabriela to you.  
INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.
You are a feisty one, aren’t you? Well, my team of Policeman are investigating how somebody died, so, this is a Crime Scene.  We’re sorry for you’re loss Miss Gachupin, is there any reason why you are here?

GABRIELA.  
Well, after saying to you kind Policeman here, I am I am investigating the same as you.  I was here talking to Angela yesterday, at the Ceremony...

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.  
Whoa, wait a minute.  You were here at the Ceremony? Would this be a wicca ceremony? The Summer Sol – Sol.  

GABRIELA.  
The Summer Solstice Ceremony? Sol, the Spanish word for sun, so “Summer Solstice,” means the lengthening of the sun, to break it down a bit more, the longest day of the year.  There are two solstices.  The Summer and Winter ones.  The sun is the furthest away from the equator.  And, as I said, there is no tape cordoning the area off, so, it is still open to the public.  I’ll continue, shall I?

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.  
After I ask you a few questions, yes you can continue.  What is your name?

GABRIELA.
Okay, I’ll play along, if I don’t get arrested though.  

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.  
Just answer the question, Miss Gachupin, or you might just find yourself in a jail cell.  What is your name?
GABRIELA.  
		I think you just answered your own question...

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL gives her one of those looks.  

GABRIELA (CON’T.)
		But I will behave now.  Gabriela Gachupin.  

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.  
		Playing along now I see? Age?

GABRIELA.  
		It isn’t nice to ask a lady her age.  Thirty.  

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.  
		Where do you live? Miss Gachupin?

GABRIELA.  
		44 Collins Road.  And it is a Flat.  

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.  
What was your relationship with Angela Stevens? Miss Gachupin?

GABRIELA.  
		I was a friend of hers.  Nothing more.  

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.  
Where were you when Angela Stevens was murdered, Miss Gachupin? 

GABRIELA.  
I was walking home to my flat, after a night out on the town, at Dan-Ce The Night Away, the new Club that has just opened in the town.  And yes, I do have a witness, three actually.  There was a man out walking his dog.  Daniel, the owner of the Club, and, my best friend, Paige Haddaway.  Have you finished now?

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.
Yes, I have finished asking you questions.  You are free to go now.  If there are any more questions...

GABRIELA.  
You know where to find me.  There is just one thing that I want to ask you.  Do you know the name “Shannon Oliver?” 

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.  
(He looks as if he’s hiding something.)
Oliver.  Shannon Oliver? I have heard that name somewhere, but it was many years ago.  Why?

GABRIELA.  
I just had (thinking quickly) my friend Paige text me the name, that’s all.  I was just wondering who she was.  

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.  
If I hear anything about that name, I’ll tell you.  Here.  

He hands GABRIELA one of his CARDS.  She takes it, slightly smiling to herself.  

GABRIELA.  
Thank you.  If I hear anything or remember anything I’ll call you.  You can contact me on my e-mail address.  Here.  

She hands him her MODELLING CARD.  

CLOSE UP ON: CARD.  

We see GABRIELA’S email address, which is Salem365@WhichTrial.com.

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.  
		I’m not going to ask.  

GABRIELA.  
		Good.  Now you won’t receive.  

She walks off, and the INSPECTOR looks longingly after her.  He gulps, and carries on investigating.  

FADE TO:

EXT. WICCA SHOP – DAY.  (DAY 2.)

EXTRAS.  

Outside of the shop, EXTRAS walk around.  We pan to the outside of the shop.  A stack of CAULDRONS, some old and rusty and others new and shining.  A big WINDOW, looks into the shop.  On it says “MOON’S” in gold letters with gold moons either side.  Big fat Candles sit in the window inside the SHOP, flickering.  

DISSOLVE TO:
INT. MOON’S WICCA SHOP – DAY.  (DAY 2.)

ASSISTANT, GABRIELA & EXTRAS.  

The WICCA SHOP is quite modern.  It’s a big front room.  at the back sits a COUNTER with a TILL on top.  On top of the counter sits herbs in BASKETS.  Behind the COUNTER sits a MAN in his early twenties.  The MAN is wearing a Skaters top, and “Short Trousers.”  Behind the MAN there’s a tall SHELVING UNIT, full of potions, bottles, and ailments for a wicca fest.  A pile of CAULDRONS and baskets with WITCHY TOOLS in them sit at the front of the COUNTER.  On SHELVING UNITS that are around the SHOP, sit more baskets, books, and JARS with PICKLED ANIMALS in them.  Tinkly music plays in the background.  EXTRAS (WANNABES) walk around the SHOP, doing their shopping.  PROTECTION AMULETS and SWORDS hang from the walls, and at the ends of the SHELVING UNITS.  

Moments later, GABRIELA walks through the DOOR of the SHOP, and the BELL tinkles in the back of the SHOP somewhere.  She walks to the COUNTER at the back of the SHOP.  

ASSISTANT.  
		Can I help you?

GABRIELA.  
		Do you mind if I ask you a few questions.  

ASSISTANT.  
		Sure.  Go ahead.  

GABRIELA.  
		Was Angela Steven’s here yesterday?

ASSISTANT.  
		Angela? Could you just bare with me a moment?

GABRIELA.  
		Sure.  

The ASSISTANT picks up a LEDGER and checks through it.  He places it back down on the COUNTER.  

ASSISTANT.
Yes.  Angela was in here yesterday.  She’s a regular of our little business here, and stops by every day.  She picked up her usual supply, herbs, eye of newt, wing of bat etcetera.  She also picked up an Athame.  Is there any particular reason you need to know?

GABRIELA.  
Well, she was murdered last night.  Don’t tell me, an Athame’s a knife, right?

The EXTRAS gasp.  One of them drops a JAR on the floor, and it smashes.  The ASSISTANT takes no notice of it.  

ASSISTANT.  
Yeah, kind of.  It’s a double-bladed knife.  Warlock’s supposedly use them to kill witches.  but Witches also use them to kill evil entities.  She’s dead?

GABRIELA.  
		Yes.  In fact, she was stabbed.  

ASSISTANT.  
Stabbed? Oh my god.  I didn’t even know.  Poor woman.  Who would do such a thing?

GABRIELA.  
I can’t tell you the answer to that one.  Nobody knows yet.  It’s so mysterious.  It’s been all over the news.  In fact, that’s all that’s on the news.  Is there anybody in your books called Shannon Oliver?

ASSISTANT.  
		What are you? A Cop or something?

GABRIELA.
No.  A friend of Angela’s.  Used to be.  You know what I mean.  

ASSISTANT.
I’m sorry for your loss.  Oliver? Shannon 
Oliver?

He picks the LEDGER up from the COUNTER again.  He flicks through it, trying to find SHANNON’S name.  With no luck, he places the LEDGER back down.  

GABRIELA.
		No luck? 
ASSISTANT.
No.  I’ll check in the old books in the Office in the back.  I’m sure I’ve seen her names somewhere.  

GABRIELA.  
		Do you own this shop?

ASSISTANT.  
Yes.  No.  Kind of.  It’s my granddads.  He left it to me in his will, but he’s not you know yet.  

GABRIELA.  
		Sorry.  

ASSISTANT.  
Forget about it.  Do you want to come through to the Office?

GABRIELA.  
No.  I’ll browse the Shop while you go and look.  

ASSISTANT.  
		Ok.  

The ASSISTANT gets up from his SEAT and walks through the DOOR into the OFFICE.  

GABRIELA.  
		She bought an Athame? Could that of killed her?

VOICE (V.O)
		Possibly.  

GABRIELA.  
		This murder’s getting deeper and deeper.  

VOICE (V.O)
		You can say that again.  

GABRIELA walks around the SHOP, looking at all of the different items.  She picks a BASKET up.  She spots a few HERBS, so she picks the JARS up and places them in the BASKET.  She spots a BASKET of ATHAMES.  She picks one up and places it in her BASKET.  She spots BOOKS, based on different WICCA TOPICS.  There’s one on “Hearing Voices.” She picks it up and places it in her SHOPPING BASKET.  

GABRIELA.
		I’d better get that hadn’t I?

VOICE (V.O)
		You think I’m a voice?

GABRIELA.  
Well, you are talking to me, aren’t you? If you’re talking to me, and I don’t know who you are.  You must be a voice, mustn’t you?

The EXTRAS are gawping at GABRIELA.  They think that she’s talking to herself, she’s not though, she is talking to the VOICE.  GABRIELA looks at the EXTRAS.  

GABRIELA.  
Mad you know.  Do it all of the time without knowing that I’m doing it.  

The EXTRAS just smile and nod at her.  GABRIELA continues to walk through the SHOP, looking at the things.  She picks up some CANDLES, different colours, wrapped with a black bow.  The SHOP ASSISTANT walks through from the OFFICE.  He has BOXES, BOOKS and PAPERS, all in a mess, nearly dropping them all.  He walks over to the COUNTER and they tumble onto the top of it.  

SHOP ASSISTANT.  
		Those files that you wanted.  

GABRIELA.  
		Thanks.  
GABRIELA walks back over to the COUNTER.  She places her SHOPPING BASKET onto the top of the COUNTER.  The SHOP ASSISTANT starts to check all of GABRIELA’S items.  

SHOP ASSISTANT.  
		So.  Are you a witch?

GABRIELA.
Possibly.  Maybe.  (She says this one to herself.) I don’t know yet.  

SHOP ASSITANT.
Well, you would think you were, if you were buying all of this stuff.  

GABRIELA begins to look through the files.  Seeing if she can spot SHANNON’S name in any of them.  

SHOP ASSITANT.
		Take them with you, if you like.  

GABRIELA.  
Are you sure? Because I sorted mentioned to the Police about Shannon.  They might want to continue with her name, see if she has any connection with the murder.  They might want to take your files.  

SHOP ASSISTANT.  
I’ll just say to them I misplaced them or something.  I’ll say my grandpa misplaced them.  He’s a bit “forgetful” at times officer.  I think he thought they were rubbish.  

GABRIELA.  
		You’d lie for me? Why thank you.  

SHOP ASSISTANT.  
You’re welcome.  Yes, I’d lie for you.  You’re a beautiful woman.  You’re items will be 20 pounds please.  

He bags the SHOPPING.  GABRIELA hands him over a twenty pound note.  She looks at the CLOCK on the wall and notices it’s nearly lunchtime.  

GABRRIELA.  
		Oh, fuck!

SHOP ASSISTANT.  
		Is there anything wrong?

GABRIELA.
Yes.  I’m meant to be at that new Club in twenty –five minutes.  I’ve got a Photo Shoot there. 

SHOP ASSISTANT.  
		You’re a model? 

GABRIELA.  
		Yes.  
SHOP ASSISTANT.
		Here you go.  

He hands GABRIELA the BAGS over.  

SHOP ASSISTANT (CON’T)
		I’ll bag those files for you.  

GABRIELA.
		Thanks.  

SHOP ASSISTANT.  
		Can you tell me you’re name please? 

GABRIELA.  
		What for?

SHOP ASSISTANT.  
Oh, we just put all of our Customers names on file.  

GABRIELA.  
Okay.  Gabriela Gachupin.  My address is 44 Collins Road.  

SHOP ASSISTANT.  
That’s great Gabriela.  Here’s your receipt.  

GABRIELA takes the RECEIPT from the SHOP ASSISTANT.  He hands the FILES over to her also.  

GABRIELA.  
		Thanks.  

SHOP ASSISTANT.  
		Is there anything else you want? 

GABRIELA.
I was wondering if there were anymore books on Wicca?
SHOP ASSISTANT.  
		Actually, I think there is.  

HE bends down under the COUNTER.  He pops back up with a few books.  

SHOP ASSISTANT (CON’T)
		Here.  There’s a few there.  

GABRIELA.  
		How much will they be?

SHOP ASSISTANT.
		Say... free to you.  

GABRIELA.
		Are you sure? You’ll make no money you know.  

SHOP ASSITANT.
Actually, I’m not too bothered.  I can cope with loosing a bit of money.  As soon as I get the shop, I’m going to get rid of it.  It gives me the creeps.  

GABRIELA. 
I’d better go, before I get into trouble.  I’ll see you again sometime.  

GABRIELA heads to the DOOR to leave the SHOP.  

SHOP ASSISTANT.
		Bye bye.  

GABRIELA leaves and the SHOP ASSISTANT helps the CUSTOMERS who are at the COUNTER.

FADE TO:

EXT. EBBONY CITY – DAY.  (DAY 2.)

GABRIELA.  

GABRIELA’S CAR is zooming through the TOWN, IN HER 20,000 pounds worth of CAR.  It is very nice.  The look of the CAR tells us that she has mega-money.  “Have A Nice Day,” by the “Stereophonics,” is thumping out.  

CUT TO:

EXT. DAN-CE THE NIGHT AWAY – DAY.  (DAY 2.)

GABRIELA.  

GABRIELA pulls up on the CAR PARK outside of DANIEL’S CLUB.  DANIEL’S PORCHE is there.  Other CARS and VANS are also their.  One of the VANS says: “LAWTHORN PHOTGRAPHERS,” on the side of it.  GABRIELA turns of the ENGINE to her CAR.  The music stops playing, and she gets out of her CAR, and then walks down the STEPS, and then into the CLUB.  

FADE TO:

INT. DAN-CE THE NIGHT AWAY/ENTRANCE AREA – DAY.  (DAY 2.)

GABRIELA, PAIGE, DANIEL, PHOTOGRAPHER & EXTRAS.  

GABRIELA walks through the ENTRANCE AREA.  She walks down the STAIRS, and down into the CLUB.  “He Wasn’t,” by “Avril Lavigne,” is playing.  GABRIELA walks over to the BAR AREA.  Some CUSTOMERS are dancing, and some are over at the BAR AREA.  On the STAGE, the PHOTOGRAPHERS are setting up for the Photo Shoot.  PAIGE and DANIEL are stood together, talking.  GABRIELA walks over to them.  ELECTRIC FANS stand in the corners of the ROOM.  

PAIGE.  
		You made it then?

GABRIELA.  
		Yes.  Didn’t I tell you that I would?

PAIGE.  
Yes.  You did.  The Photographers are just setting up.  

GABRIELA.  
		What about those people who are dancing?

DANIEL.
Them? They are just Customers.  They are just here for a drink and to have a great time.  I don’t just open the Club at night you know.  If I did, I would never make any money.  

GABRIELA.  
And I never said that you did.  I hope this Photo Shoot doesn’t last too long, because I want to get home, turn the Jacuzzi on and onto cool and then get in.  

DANIEL.  
It is hot, isn’t it? I think the weather said it was a freak heatwave or something.  If it gets any hotter, my customers are going to melt.  I’ve got “The Corr’s,” performing on stage here tonight.  They’re going to melt all over the place.  It will be “Scrape off The Corr’s.”

PHOTGRPAHER.  
		We’re ready.  

GABRIELA.
		Give me a minute.  

She places her HANDBAG (pink of course) down on the BAR, and sorts her top and hair out.  She takes a MIRROR out of the BAG, and reapplies her makeup.  As she goes to place it in her BAG, it drops and smashes on the FLOOR.  

GABRIELA (CON’T.)
		Damn! Seven years bad luck.  

She bends down to pick it up.  

DANIEL.  
Leave it.  I’ll get one of my minions to pick t up.  

GABRIELA.  
		I’ll need another one.  

PAIGE.  
		Yeah.  You always need a mirror.  

GABRIELA walks over to the STAGE, in a “Cat Walk” walk.  She climbs the STEPS, and walks across it, to the PHOTOGRAPHER.  

PHOTOGRAPHER.  
		Are you the model?

GABRIELA.  
		Why? Is there something wrong?

PHOTOGRAPHER.  
No no.  You are just sexy, that’s all.  Front Cover material.  

GABRIELA.  
Really? Front Cover material? I’ve never been told that I’m worth Front Cover material before.  

PHOTOGRAPHER.  
Can you sit there (pointing to a Deck Chair) darling?

GABRIELA.  
		Sure thing.  

GABRIELA sits down on the DECK CHAIR.  She crosses her legs, and smiles.  Flashes from the CAMERAS go off.  

PHOTOGRAPHER.  
Good! Good! Can you open your top a bit? Show a bit of cleavage.  

GABRIELA opens a few buttons on her TOP, and the FLASHES on the CAMERA go off a bit more.  

The song in the background switches to “More More More,” by “Rachel Stevens.”

PHOTOGRAPHER.  
More! More! Stand up! Do a little dance to the music!

GABRIELA stands up, and starts to dance.  

CUT TO:

INT. DAN-CE THE NIGHT AWAY/BAR AREA – DAY.  (DAY 2.) 

DANIEL, PAIGE, GABRIELA & EXTRAS.  

It is about a half-an-hour later.  GABRIELA’S sat at the BAR, drinking from a TALL GLASS, with blue liquid in it, ice and a straw, with a little umbrella sat at the side. 

GABRIELA.  
I can’t wait to see my pictures in the magazine.  

PAIGE.  
Well, judging by how much of a success the Photo Shoot was, I’d say your pictures would be on the front cover, and you’d probably take up half of the magazine.  It’ll probably be a “Top Shelf,” magazine too.  The camera loves you.  

GABRIELA.  
Well, I am a born natural.  I did used to be a model in “Frisco.” The Cat-Walk is my best friend.  

PAIGE.  
		I thought I was?

GABRIELA.  
You are.  Don’t get angry and go around killing people. 

PAIGE.
(Laughing.)
You know what I mean.  I wouldn’t think that you had another best friend, and she would replace me.  We’ve known each other for years.  We’re practically sisters.  

They both hug each other. GABRIELA finishes her drink off, and DANIEL takes the GLASS and places it behind the BAR.  

GABRIELA.  
Anyway, I’m off.  I am gonna get home and jump in our Jacuzzi.  Do you want to catch a ride, Paige?
PAIGE.
Yeah, go on.  I was just having a think then.  The sales of the magazine are going to go through the roof...

DANIEL.  
After her pictures are on the front of the magazine, they will.  

PAIGE.  
		Daniel! 

She hits DANIEL, with her HANDBAG, but not very hard.  

DANIEL.  
Oww.  What do you carry round in there? A brick or something? 

PAIGE.  
		You deserved that.  

DANIEL.  
		What? What did I do?

PAIGE.  
You know what you did.  I’m your girlfriend, not Gabby.  

DANIEL.  
I only said she’s good lucking.  Lots more people will buy the magazine now.  

GABRIELA.  
Before you two kick the shit out of each other, can we go? I’m melting here.  

PAIGE.  
		Sure.  

DANIEL.  
		Are you both coming to the Club again tonight?

PAIGE.  
(Glaring at Daniel.)
		Maybe.  

GABRIELA.  
		We’ll be both there.  

GABRIAL drags PAIGE out of the CLUB, by her arm.  Laughing, DANIEL rubs his arm.  

FADE TO:

EXT. DAN-CE THE NIGHT AWAY/CAR PARK – DAY.  (DAY 2.)

GABRIELA & PAIGE.  

GABRIELA and PAIGE walk out of the ENTRANCE to the CLUB.  They walk over to GABRIELA’S CAR.  GABRIELA gets into the DRIVERS SEAT, and PAIGE gets into the back.  She notices SHOPPING BAGS, especially the “MOON’S WICCA SHOP,” BAG.  She has a nosey in them.  

PAIGE.  
		Why have you bought herbs?

GABRIELA.  
(Thinking of a good reason.) Because I wanted to make a slap-up dinner.  

PAIGE.  
But you’ve also bought books about Magic and Wicca.  Is there something going on that I don’t know about? Is it you that killed that woman? You’re not my friend.  You’re an impostor.  

GABRIELA.  
Did you fall asleep watching “Charmed,” again? No, I’m still the plain old Gabby.  I bought them because I wanted to read up on it.  

VOICE (V.O)
		And to find out whom the murderer is.  

PAIGE.
What-ever.  It’s your business.  You can do what you like.  

GABRIELA starts the CAR, and then drives out of the CAR PARK.  

PAIGE.
Can you drop me off outside “Strawberries and Cream?” I want to get a new outfit or two for tonight.  

GABRIELA.  
		So you’re going to the Club are you?

PAIGE.  
Of course I am.  I do love him really.  He’s not all that bad.  

VOICE (V.O)
Women were weird at times.  A bit of love and they’re all over the place.  

FADE OUT:

END OF ACT THREE.  

ACT FOUR.  

FADE IN:

EXT. EBBONY STREET – DAY.  (DAY 2.)

PAIGE, GABRIELA & INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.  

GABRIELA and PAIGE are speeding through the STREETS, when they stop at a set of TRAFFIC LIGHTS.  “Hollaback Girl,” by “Gwen Stefani,” is playing.  A POLICE CAR pulls up besides them.  

PAIGE.  
		Uh-oh.  You haven’t stolen anything, have you?

GABRIELA.  
		No.  We’ve been speeding silly.  

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL gets out.  

GABRIELA (CON’T.)
I know I was speeding Inspector, but it’s these darn shoes.  

INSPECTOR.  
Well, well, well.  Gabriela.  We meet again.  You know, I should arrest you, but, you’re the sexiest thing on the street, so I’ll let you off.  Just don’t let me catch you doing it again.  Who’s you friend?

PAIGE.  
		Paige Haddaway.  

GABRIELA.  
		I’ll try to behave Inspector.  

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.  
		I know women.  You don’t behave.  

GABRIELA.  
		Did you find out anything about that woman yet?

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.  
Not, not yet.  Listen, there is a new Club in town.  Do you want to go there tonight or something?

GABRIALA.  
		Are you asking me on a date?

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.  
		Not a date.  Just a drink between friends.  

GABRIELA.  
		So we’re friends now, are we?

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.  
		You could say that, yes.  So?

GABRIELA.  
I’ll be there anyway.  Paige and I are both going.  

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.  
(Smiling.)
		I’ll pick you up around eight then?

GABRIELA.  
		I’ll make sure I’m ready by then.  

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL walks to his CAR.  

GABRIELA (CON’T.)
		Yess.  

PAIGE.  
		Gabriela Gachupin! 

GABRIELA.  
		What?

PAIGE.  
		Going on a date with a Policeman! 

GABRIELA.  
It isn’t a date.  It’s just a drink between two friends.  

GABRIELA realises that INSPECTOR HALLIWELL’S drove off, and that angry DRIVERS behind her are horn honking.  

PAIGE.  
(To herself.)
		She’s got a date.  

FADE TO:

EXT. STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM – DAY.  (DAY 2.)

GABRIELA, PAIGE & EXTRAS.  

GABRIELA’S CAR arrives outside “Strawberries and Cream,” the Clothes Shop.  PAIGE gets out of the CAR, and people are walking around, window shopping.  

PAIGE.  
		I’ll meet you back at the flat later on.  

GABRIAL.  
		See ya.  

PAIGE. 
		Bye.  

GABRIELA’S CAR drives off, and PAIGE walks into the SHOP.  

SMASH CUT TO:

EXT. GABRIELA’S FLAT – DAY.  (DAY 2.)

GABRIELA.  

GABRIELA’S CAR arrives at the FLAT.  The hot sun is still beating down.  Cutting the ENGINE to her CAR and grabbing her SHOPPING BAGS, she walks into the FLAT.  

INT. GABRIELA & PAIGE’S FLAT – DAY.  (DAY 2.)

GABRIAL & VOICE.  

GABRIELA bursts into the FLAT.  The DOOR was stuck.  There is POST on the MAT.  She picks it up, and closes the DOOR behind herself.  She walks into the KITCHEN AREA, and places her BAGS down on the COUNTER.  She opens her LETTER.  

GABRIELA.  
		Great, more post.  

She walks over to the FRIDGE, and opens it to see what she can find for her lunch.  

VOICE (V.O)
		Had a hard day, haven’t you?

GABRIELA.  
Yes.  I can’t wait to go out tonight with the Inspector.  I wonder what I should wear?
VOICE (V.O)
You’ll find something.  You’ve got a beautiful figure.  You could wear anything on that body.  

GABRIELA opens the DOOR to the BALCONY, letting air waft through into the hot KITCHEN.  She turns on the RADIO, and “All About You,” by “McFly,” is on.  She begins to prepare lunch, and sings along.  

VOICE (V.O)
You’ve got a good voice you know.  You sound like a professional singer.  

GABRIELA.  
Why thank you.  Do you think I should become a professional singer? If the audience hate me, I can turn them all into frogs.  

VOICE (V.O)
I suggest you should go ahead.  You could ask Daniel if you could perform on stage at the Club.  

GABRIELA.  
I might just take that up.  Thank you, whoever you are? 

GABRIAL goes back to making her lunch.  

CUT TO:

INT. STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM – DAY.  (DAY 2.)

PAIGE, SHOP ASSISTANT & EXTRAS.  

PAIGE is at the COUNTER of the SHOP.  The SHOP ASSISTANT is totalling her items up.  

SHOP ASSISTANT.  
That will be a hundred and twenty pounds please.  

PAIGE takes no notice of the price, and hands one of her many, many CREDIT CARDS over.  

PAIGE.  
		Only that much?

The SHOP ASSISTANT takes the CREDIT CARD and swipes it through the MACHINE.  She hands PAIGE her BAGS and RECIEPT.  
SHOP ASSISTANT.  
		Would you like any cash back?

PAIGE.  
		No thanks.  

The SHOP ASSISTANT hands her BACK HER CARD. 

PAIGE (CON’T.)
		Thanks.  

SHOP ASSISTANT.  
		Come again.  Have a nice day!

PAIGE grabs her things, stuffs her CARD in her HANDBAG and then leaves the SHOP.  

SMASH CUT TO:

EXT. GABRIELA’S & PAIGE’S FLAT – DAY.  (DAY 2.)

GABRIELA.  

On the BALCONY is the GARDEN.  It is quite a big BALCONY.  PLANTS make a kind-of HEDGE around the RAILINGS, so that no peeping Toms can peep in on GABRIAL.  There is a GARDEN TABLE and a JACUZZI.  Over the top of the PLANT HEDGE, you can see EBBONY CITY.  Music “Doncha Wanna Ride?” By “Joss Stone,” wafts through from the LIVING ROOM.  GABRIELA is sat in the JACUZZI, having a great time.  She is drinking a GLASS of CHAMPAGNE.  

CUT TO:

INT. GABRIELA & PAIGE’S FLAT – DAY.  (DAY 2.)

GABRIELA & PAIGE.  

PAIGE walks through the DOOR.  She is holding thousands of SHOPPING BAGS, and she’s looking flushed.  She closed the DOOR behind herself.  

PAIGE.  
		Gabby? Are you home?

GABRIELA (O.S)
		Outside in the Jacuzzi.  

PAIGE dumps her BAGS, and then walks outside, onto the BALCONY.  

EXT. GABRIELA & PAIGE’S FLAT – DAY.  (DAY 2.)

GABRIELA & PAIGE.  

PAIGE walks out, from the FLAT onto the BALCONY.  GABRIELA is in the JACUZZI having a great time.  

GABRIELA.  
		Jump in! It is great on a day like this.  

PAIGE.  
		You know? I might just do that.  

GABRIELA.  
		What’s wrong? You look flushed.  

PAIGE.  
Do I? I have just spent a hundred and twenty pounds on my clothes shopping.  

GABRIELA.  
		Was that all? Was it a bad day?

PAIGE.  
Yeah.  I should have at least spent two hundred pounds.  

GABRIELA.  
Get a swim suit on, grab a glass of bubbly and jump in here with me.  

PAIGE.  
		Wait a second then.  

PAIGE goes back inside.  A few moments later, she returns, wearing a SWIMSUIT.  She clambers into the JACUZZI, and GABRIELA turns the BUBBLE SYSTEM on.  

GABRIELA.  
		Whoo!!

GABRIELA hands PAIGE a GLASS of CHAMPAGNE.  

PAIGE.  
Thanks.  This will get me in the mood for tonight.  

We pan from the BALCONY, over EBBONY CITY to:

INT. MOON’S WICCA SHOP – DAY.  

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL & SHOP ASSISTANT.  

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL walks into the SHOP.  EXTRAS are SHOPPING, and the SHOP ASSISTANT is helping somebody.  

SHOP ASSISTANT.  
(Knowing this was going to happen)
Good afternoon Inspector? Can I help you with anything?

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.
Inspector Halliwell.  An Angela Stevens was murdered at her home last night.  We found out that this was the last place she was, picking up some items for what looked like a “Spell.” Can I have a look at your records, Mr. Moon?

SHOP ASSISTANT.  
		Here you go Officer.  
He hands him the most the most recent RECORD BOOKS.  

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.  
We also have another inkling we would like to go on.  Do you know anything of a Shannon Oliver, Mr. Moon?

SHOP ASSISTANT.  
		I have no clue Inspector.  

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.  
Could we have a look at your old records? Mr. Moon?

SHOP ASSISTANT.  
My Grandpa owns the Shop Inspector.  I think he threw all of the old files out.  I can’t find any in the Office.  

INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.  
Thank you Mr. Moon. If I ever need anything, I’ll come back.  Thanks.  

He leaves the SHOP.  The SHOP ASSISTANT goes back to helping the CUSTOMERS.

FADE TO:

INT. GABRIELA & PAIGE’S FLAT/BATHROOM – DAY.  (DAY 2.)

GABRIELA & PAIGE.  

GABRIELA’S in the BATH.  You can tell she loves getting a bath.  In the background “Lonely,” by “Akon,” plays.  PAIGE walks in.  

PAIGE.  
		Do you mind if I get a shower?

GABRIELA.  
		No.  I’ve finished anyway.  

GABRIELA gets out of the BATH, and walks into her BEDROOM.  

INT. GABRIELA & PAIGE’S FLAT/GABRIELA’S ROOM – DAY.  (DAY 2.)

GABRIELA, PAIGE, ANGELA STEVENS & INSPECTOR HALLIWELL.  

GABRIELA had finished getting dressed.  She’s putting the finishing touches to her outfit, and is looking through her jewellery to find something to top it off, but she can’t find the perfect piece.  PAIGE walks into the ROOM.  

PAIGE.  
		I could eat you up.  

GABRIELA.  
Thanks.  I’m looking for something to go with this outfit, but none of my jewellery goes with it.  Can I borrow you’re necklace?

PAIGE.  
You know I would, but I’ve lost it and I can’t find it anywhere.  

GABRIELA.  
		It will turn up.  Did you leave it at the Club?

PAIGE.  
I don’t know.  It might have fallen off while we were dancing.  I’ll ask Daniel when we’re there.  

SFX: DOORBELL.  

GABRIAL looks at her watch, and then checks her jewellery again.  She picks up a NECKLACE with a CRYSTAL on the end of it.  She walks to the MIRROR, and puts it on.  She starts to fix her hair.  Behind her reflection, she sees ANGELA STEVENS.  She looks behind her, and there is no ANGELA.  She heads to the door.  And we stay focused on the MIRROR.  

ANGELA STEVENS.  
(Without emotion and expectation.)
		Help me.
