I love the way you look tonight
With your hair hangin' down on your shoulders,
'N'I love the way you dance your slow sweet tango,
The way you wanna do everything but talk
And how you stare at me with those undress me eyes,
Your breath on my body makes me warm inside.
Let's make out, let's do something amazing,
Let's do something that's all the way
'Cause I never touched somebody like the way I touch your body,
Now I never want to let your body go ...
Let's make a night to remember
From January to December,
Let's make love to excite us,
A memory to ignite us,
Let's make honey, baby, soft and tender,
Let's make sugar, darlin', sweet surrender.
Let's make a night ro remember
All life long.
I love the way you move tonight,
Beads of sweat drippin' down your skin,
Me lying here'n'you lyin' there,
Our shadows on the wall and our hands everywhere.
Let's make out, let's do something amazing,
Let's do something that's all the way
'Cause I never touched somebody like the way I touch your body,
Now I never want to let your body go ...
Let's make a night to remember

Let's make love to excite us,
A memory to ignite us,

All life long.
Oh, I think about you all the time,
Can't you see you drive me outta my mind,
Well, I'm never hodin' back again.
Ya, I never want this night to end.
'Cause I never touched somebody like the way I touch your body,
Now I never want to let your body go ...

Scene 1
[We open the episode from the opening credits and resume from a previous scene with Zandra and Elissa, both of them are at the airport, and Zandra is standing in shock over Elissa’s admission that she’s been having an affair with Zandra’s personal slave Blaine. Not only that, but that she had fallen in love with Blaine.]
(The sound of slapping fills the air, as we pan out to show Elissa with a palm print on her face and a furious looking Zandra.)
Zandra: You are unbelievable!
Elissa: Zandra...
Zandra: Stay away from me... and stay away from my tribe...
(Elissa holds her cheek as it begins to redden.)
Elissa: What are you going to do?!
(Zandra’s lips get thinner as she smirks at Elissa.)
Zandra: With Blaine?
(Elissa nods)
Zandra: I haven’t thought of anything horrid enough yet. But trust me when I say this... that little weasel will get what’s coming to him!
(Elissa looks really worried as Zandra spins on her heel and turns to walk out of the airport. Elissa falls to her knees and cries out.)
Elissa: PLEASE ZANDRA... I’M BEGGING YOU!!
[Zandra’s cackling laugh fills the screen as the camera fades out to the next scene.]
Scene 2
[The scene fades in from black to show a determined looking Jay storming towards the front entrance of the airport; he is alone and has a grim look on his face.]
(Pushing the double doors open in a dramatic entrance, the camera pans to Harley who is on guard duty. He falls out of the seat he was sitting in and stands up, moving to stand in front of Jay.)
Harley: What do you want?
Jay: I want to see Amber!
Harley: Who are you?
(Jay looks at Harley as though he is mad and shakes his head, pushing past the smaller man.)
Jay: Out of my way... loser!
(Jay storms off down the corridor as Harley frowns.)
Harley: Hey...
[Jay laughs as the camera follows him and the scene fades out.]
Scene 3
[The scene fades in from black to show Ryan and Lex in the airport, Lex has Theo balanced on his knee as he feeds his son, and Ryan sits opposite at him in the cafe. Theo is being fussy and Lex is distracted as Ryan talks to him.]
Lex (shakes his head): Sorry mate... what were you saying?
Ryan: I was saying that I’m leaving...
Lex: The tribe?
Ryan: No... not the Mallrats, I’ll always been one. I’m leaving to find my daughter Lex.
Lex: Okay.
Ryan: We’re leaving after the wedding...
Lex: We?
(Ryan nods as he picks up the spoon that Theo threw on the floor and hands it back to Lex.)
Ryan: Me and Jake... and maybe Lori.
Lex: All three of you?
Ryan: Yes... we’re all leaving... to find Kacie.
Lex: Ah, I see.
Ryan: You understand, don’t you?
Lex: I think so.
Ryan: If Theo is missing, wouldn’t you do whatever it takes to find him... move heaven and earth?
(Lex takes a deep breath as he looks down at Theo with his dinner smeared all over his face, ruffles his son’s hair and nods.)
Lex: Yes mate... I would!
[The camera fades out on the two friends, as Lex looks over at Ryan with a somewhat confused look on his face and we cut to the next scene.]
Scene 4
[Camera cuts to Amber and Bray’s room. Amber is enjoying some alone time and reading a book when there is a knock on her door]
Amber: Come in!
(Camera pans around as KC enters the room)
Amber: (smiles) KC.
(KC doesn’t return the smile and stands awkwardly in the door way)
KC: (unsure of himself) Amber can I ask you a personal question?
Amber: (Frowns) Depends how personal it is?
KC: It’s about Bray.
Amber: Go on!
(Amber pats the space next to her and KC walks in and takes the space)
KC: When Bray had his affair with Danni...
Amber: (Shakes her head) I try to forget!
KC: But when he did... did you suspect anything? Did he do anything that made you doubt him?
(Amber closes her book and puts it down)
Amber: (Concerned) KC is everything alright?
KC: (shrugs) I honestly don’t know... Patsy has been acting weird lately, she never wants to spend time with me or Katy anymore, she tells me she loves me but never wants to.... you know!
(Amber nods in understanding)
Amber: Do you remember when you first joined us KC?
(KC is silent for a moment as he thinks back)
KC: Yea it was when Dal and Trudy had left the tribe!
Amber: (nods) And she left Brady at the mall, it was because she couldn’t cope, she was suffering from post natal depression!
KC: (shocked) You don’t think Patsy?
Amber: (shrugs) I couldn’t say, just keep an eye on her... does she cry a lot?
KC: More then she used to!
Amber: If you want I could have a chat with her? Just to see how she is getting on?
KC: (shakes his head) No but thanks anyway, I don’t want her to think I’ve been talking about her behind her back!
Amber: Well if you change your mind, you know where to find me!
KC: (Smiles) Thanks.
(KC pushes himself up and turns to leave)
Amber: KC?
KC: Yea?
Amber: I know this is going to sound soppy but I’m proud of you, you have grown into a young man and have matured so much over the last couple of years. Patsy and Katy are lucky to have you!
KC: (blushes) Thanks Amber!
[Camera zooms in on KC’s smile before cutting to the next scene]

[Harley is in his room getting ready for the day, when his bedroom door is pushed opened and Darryl storms in]
Harley: (shocked) What do you want?
(Darryl closes the door behind him and walks up to Harley)
Darryl: I’m not going to beat around the bush here Harley, but I don’t like you! Everything about you makes my blood boil and there are things I need to say to you before I can move on with my life.
Harley: And here was me thinking you were a nice guy!
(Darryl shakes his head)
Darryl: I’m only nice to the people I like!
Harley: So what is it you want to say to me?
Darryl: Stay away from me and stay away from Axel!
Harley: What?
Darryl: I don’t normally make threats, but you come near either one of us again and I swear it will be the last thing you do!
(Darryl turns to leave and opens the door)
Harley: Don’t forget Darryl, he kissed me back!!
(Darryl turns to face him with his hand still on the handle)
Darryl: It was a pity kiss Harley... it’s time you moved on!
[Darryl leaves the room and slams the door shut behind him. Harley shakes his head before dropping back onto his bed. Camera pans out before cutting to black]

[Tully and Alice are in their room, Alice is zipping Miri into a warm sleep suit as they prepare to go out for a walk. Tully is putting some diapers in one of the baby bags. Suddenly he stops what he is doing, and turns to Alice.]
Tully: I have something for you.
(Alice finishes putting Miri in the suit and turns to face Tully.)
Alice: Yeah, what is it?
(Tully reaches into his pocket and pulls out a box, Alice gasps as Tully hands it to her.)
Tully: It’s not an engagement ring... don’t worry!
(Alice breathes a sigh of relief and opens the box. Inside is a simple silver ring with a heart on it. Alice picks up the ring and smiles at it.)
Alice: What is it?
Tully: I call it a promise ring.
Alice: A promise ring? What’s that?
Tully: Kind of like a pre-engagement ring. I take it to believe that we’re promised to each other... so long as you wear that ring, I’ll be your promised one.
(Tears form in the corner of Alice’s eyes as she slips on the ring.)
Alice: Tully... that is the sweetest thing that anyone’s ever done for me!
Tully: Is that a yes then?
Alice: Yeah!
(Alice throws herself and Miri into Tully’s arms as the three of them hug.)
Tully: I love you Alice!
Alice: And I love you too!
(The couple kiss, just as Miri lets out a massive great big burp and throws up over both Tully and Alice.)
Alice: Charming!
Tully: I take that as her blessing!
[The camera fades out on the family and cuts to the next scene.]

(The two guards step out of the way as Zandra enters the building. Zandra grabs a nearby slave and holds them against the wall)
Zandra: Get me Enola now!
Slave: Yes Zandra!
(The slave rushes off, leaving Zandra on her own. A couple of moments later, Enola and the slave return to the scene)

Harley: Elissa?
(Elissa looks up and when she spots Harley, she pushes herself up from the floor and rushes over to him before wrapping her arms around him, causing him to drop his sandwich)
Harley: (Concerned) Elissa what is the matter?
Elissa: its Zandra.... she’s... she’s.... she’s...
zHarley: (Sooths her) Calm down, what is Zandra going to do?
(Elissa tries to calm herself by taking in deep breathes)
Elissa: I think she’s going to kill Blaine!
Harley: (shakes his head) She wouldn’t.... she won’t go that far!
Elissa: You don’t know what she would do, she’s killed before!!
Harley: What are you going to do then?
Elissa: There is nothing I can do, my whole life is over!

Trudy: (Screams) Mind the seating plan!
(Darryl stops himself before he steps on the board)
Darryl: (Smirks) Sorry!
Trudy: (Raises an eyebrow) I haven’t seen you this happy since...
Darryl: (Cuts in) We’re back together, me and Axel!!
Trudy: Well I wasn’t going to think it was you and Lex!
(The two stop for a moment before Darryl shakes his head to get the image out)
Trudy: (Smiles) But I’m really happy for the both of you!
(Trudy picks up Axel’s name and moves him onto the centre table next to Darryl)
Trudy: Perfect!
(Darryl spots Harley’s name and frowns)

Darryl: (in a matter of a fact voice) He’s not coming to my wedding and that’s final!

Scene 11
[The scene fades in on Jay striding down the airport corridors; he looks in each room until he comes to Amber and Bray’s room. Inside the room Amber is laying on her bed sewing some clothes and she jumps as Jay stands in the doorway.]
Amber (shaky): Jay?
(Jay smirks at Amber and walks in, closing the door behind him.)
Jay: Amber... I thought we should talk.
(Amber looks a little worried as she moves over to the furthest side of the bed and shakes her head.)
Amber: We have nothing to talk about... you’re out of my life!
Jay: And whose fault was that?
Amber: Yours!
Jay: No... It was Bray!
Amber (shakes her head): No... Jay, we were over... it was finished! We’re history!
(Jay looks at Amber and takes a seat on the bed.)
Jay: Amber... I didn’t come back to cause problems. I came back to tell you that I still love you!
(Amber looks shocked and her jaw drops open.)
Amber: You’re with Danni!
Jay: She’s not the one I love Amber... it’s you, it’s always been you!
Amber: No. You’re insane!
Jay: I love you Amber. I came back for you! We’re perfect together... and we will be again!
(Amber shakes her head as she stands up and steps backwards.)
Amber: I love Bray. I’m happy with him. Why can’t you just leave me alone?
Jay: Because I love you!
Amber: If you love me Jay... you’d leave me and Bray alone... to be happy!
Jay (shakes his head): I don’t think so!
[Amber looks worried as the camera pans out on the two of them.]
Scene 12
[Camera cuts to the Amazon camp, to show Zandra storming down the corridor; she reaches the kitchen and finds some of the slaves working away. She scans the room before spotting Blaine]
Zandra: (Shouts) Blaine!!
(Blaine looks up as silence falls over the room)
Zandra: Come here!
(Blaine does as he is told and makes his way over to Zandra, as soon as he is in reaching distance; Zandra grabs him by his shirt and pulls him closer before using her free hand to slap him hard across the face. She then pushes him back causing him to fall to the floor)
Zandra: (Angry) How dare you mess with me!
Blaine: I... I...
Zandra: Don’t bother lying to me, Elissa has told me everything!
(Zandra clicks her fingers and two larger slaves walk into the room)
Zandra: Your new play date Blaine!
(Zandra turns to the two new comers)
Zandra: Once your done bring him back to my room!
[The two slaves nod before walking past Zandra and pouncing on Blaine. Zandra leave the room with a smile on her face]
Scene 13
[Trudy and Slade are sitting in the meeting room at the airport, Trudy has a concerned look on her face and Slade is sitting with his head in his hands.]
Trudy: Slade... will you be honest with me?
(Slade looks up at Trudy and sighs.)
Slade: I’m not sure how to be...
Trudy: Look... ever since I’ve been helping out Darryl with his club... you’ve become this clingy whiny man. I’m not sure that’s the sort of man I want to marry.
Slade: What are you saying?
Trudy: I’m saying that unless you can be honest with me... I’m not sure I see a future for myself.
Slade: Okay, okay.
(Slade takes hold of Trudy’s hand and looks into her eyes.)
Slade: I’m a wimp Trudy.
Trudy: Huh?
Slade: I may come across as this confident and happy man, who can cope with anything. But to be honest, I’m scared about what the future holds... about having a family and being responsible for another person’s life.
Trudy: You are?
Slade: Yes... and all this business with Bray... and the hassle he’s giving me about being a father... and then you going off to spend time with Darryl, even if he is gay... it’s making me paranoid!
(Trudy starts to laugh and Slade’s eyes widen.)
Slade: You’re laughing at me?
Trudy: Yes silly. I thought you were going off me... not being a sensitive soul!
Slade: Oh... do you forgive me?
Trudy (nods): Of course I do silly... I love you!
[Trudy and Slade hug as relief shows on both of their faces and the camera cuts to the next scene.]
Scene 14
[Camera cuts black to the scene of Harley comforting Elissa. Camera pans out to show that he has left the door open and someone is watching them]
(Lori shakes her head)
Lori: (to herself) I should have never even thought about giving you another chance!
(Lori walks away from the scene with a hurt look on her face)
(Camera zooms in on the room)
Harley: Maybe we should talk to Lex? He used to be married to Zandra!
Elissa: What good would that do?
Harley: Maybe he can calm her down; get her to change her mind?
Elissa: (Nods) I guess it’s worth a shot, but I’m not going to get my hopes up!
(Harley takes hold of her hand)
Harley: Come on let’s go find him!
[Camera pans out as the two of them run out of the room]
Scene 15
[We open the scene on Lex and KC in the kitchen, KC is sorting out a pile of fresh food as Lex watches on.]
KC: Have you spoken to Ryan lately?
(Lex nods as KC turns around.)
Lex: He’s made some pretty life changing decisions.
KC: Huh?
Lex: He’s leaving.
KC: What? When?
Lex: After the wedding.
(KC turns back to putting the food away.)
Lex: I don’t get it KC... I mean, yeah I get that he’s missing Kacie, but he has to think about Jake.
KC: You don’t think he is?
Lex (shrugs): I don’t know...
(The camera pans to the doorway as we see a saddened Ryan standing in the doorway, he is out of view of both Lex and KC, but he can hear the conversation that the two men are having, before the camera pans back to KC and Lex.)
KC: He’s a father Lex... he’s thinking about his children, both of them.
Lex: I get that... I’m a father too! But he’s leaving his family; the tribe... so soon after Cass was killed. It’s just too soon!
KC: Well... no one but Ryan knows how he truly feels!
Lex: All the same.
KC: All we can do is support him Lex...
Lex: Yeah... I know, but I still think he’s doing the wrong thing!
[The camera pans back to Ryan who shakes his head in disappointment and pans back to Lex and KC before fading to the next scene.]
Scene 16
[The camera cuts in to show a disappointed Ryan walking down the corridor; he reaches his room and walks inside. As he does, the camera pans around and we see Lori stand up from where she has been sitting on the bed.]
(Lori puts a finger to her mouth to signal for Ryan to be quiet.)
Lori (whispers): I’ve just got Jake to sleep.
(Ryan nods and sits down on the bed.)
Ryan: Thanks Lori. I’m just gonna take a nap as well. I’ll see you later...
(Lori nods and walks out of the doorway, the camera follows her as she walks down the corridor towards her own room. Looking down at her hands, Lori realises that she is still holding one of Jake’s favourite teddy bears. Shaking her head, Lori turns and heads back towards Ryan room. She quickly steps inside and places the bear in with Jake in his bed.)
Lori: Ryan... I...
(Lori turns around to face Ryan and smiles when she realises that he is fast asleep, the sound of gentle snoring fills the air. Lori watches Ryan for a couple of moments before she takes a seat on the bed and lies down next to Ryan.)
(Her head is level with Ryan’s chest and she watches it rise and fall as she rests her head on his chest and places her arm across his stomach.)
Lori (whispers): Sleep tight.
[Lori closes her eyes and the camera fades out on the two of them.]
Scene 17
[Camera fades in on Darryl sat in the lounge room, he has his feet up on the sofa with a sketch pad rested on his knee, and he works away at a new drawing]
(The door opens and Alice walks in with Miri, she spots Darryl and sits herself near him)
Alice: Darryl?
Darryl: (Doesn’t look up) Hmm?
Alice: So I heard through the grapevine that you’re opening a new club?
Darryl: (Still doesn’t look up) Yea, it’s going to be amazing!
(Looks up for a split second)
Darryl: (Smiles) Alice!
(Alice rolls her eyes and walks behind him to see what he is drawing)
Alice: Is that what you’re going to call it?
Darryl: (nods) Think so... what do you think?
Alice: I like it, and I love the design!
Darryl: (Smiles) Thanks!
(Alice reaches out and takes the sketch pad before holding it behind her back)
Darryl: ALICE!
Alice: Are you going to listen to what I have to say?
Darryl: Yes.
Alice: With a little bit more interest!
Darryl: Yes!
Alice: Good!
(Alice hands the pad back)
Alice: I’ve decided that if you need any help with your club, and I do mean any. Come to me, I will be more than happy to help you!
Darryl: (Smiles) Alice that is brilliant, thank you.
Alice: You’re welcome... now about that name!
Darryl: (Frowns) I thought you liked it?
Alice: (Smirks) I lied!
[Alice takes a seat on the floor next to Darryl and the two of them get into a deep conversation about the name of the club. Camera pans around before fading to black]
Scene 18
[The scene fades in once again on Ryan’s room. We see that Lori and Ryan who have fallen asleep in an earlier scene are now snuggled closer to each other. Lori’s head is still resting on Ryan’s chest, and Ryan’s arm is wrapped around Lori.]
(As the camera pans in closer, we see that Ryan is stirring. His eyes flutter open and for a moment he looks over at Lori, and smiles... thinking she is Cass, until the realisation hits him that Cass is dead and her sister is in fact in bed with him.)
Ryan: Lori??
(Ryan pulls his arm away from Lori, causing her to roll over to the other side of the bed.)
Ryan: What the hell are you doing?
(Lori groans and opens her eyes.)
Lori (sleepily): Ryan?
Ryan: Why the hell were you in my bed?
Lori: Um... I guess I fell asleep.
Ryan: Yeah? Well you don’t sleep in my bed!
(Lori rubs her head and then sits up.)
Lori: I’m sorry... I didn’t mean to!
Ryan: I love Cass... you can’t just jump into her place!
(Lori springs out of bed, her face suddenly very defensive.)
Lori: I didn’t... I don’t...
Ryan: Just go Lori...
(Tears run down Lori’s face.)
Lori: I loved Cass... she was my sister, I made a mistake... I fell asleep... I didn’t mean anything by it!
[Lori runs out of the room, tears streaming down her face as the camera pans back to a rather confused and upset Ryan before fading to the next scene.]
Scene 19
[Camera fades in from the previous scene to show Patsy pulling on her coat while Katy sleeps in her cot. Camera pans around as KC enters the room with a tray full of food]
(KC raises an eyebrow when he spots Patsy)
KC: Where are you going?
Patsy: I need some fresh air!
KC: Were you going to leave Katy on her own?
Patsy: (snaps) Of course not!
KC: So where are you going?
(Patsy covers her face with one of her hands before removing it)
Patsy: I’ve got a banging headache KC, I just need some fresh air and some time alone, can you please understand that?
KC: Patsy!
(But Patsy has already pulled on her gloves and making her way out of the room. KC shakes his head; he places the tray on the table before dropping onto his bed)
(Camera cuts to outside the mall where Ram is sat on the wall, he spots Patsy and the two smile at each other)
Ram: Ready?
Patsy: Of course.
[Ram holds out his hand which Patsy accepts and the two walk away from the airport. Camera fades out to black]
Scene 20
[Lex has a thick coat pulled on as he walks down the main corridor of the airport, heading towards the main entrance of the airport. As he reaches the guard post he is stopped by Ryan, who puts his hand out to stop his friend.]
Lex (frowns): Ryan?
Ryan: We need to talk.
Lex: Can it wait? I’m on my way out.
(Ryan shakes his head, an angry look on his face as he speaks.)
Ryan: No it can’t.
Lex: Okay.
Ryan: I heard... what you and KC were saying earlier on. I don’t appreciate being the subject of gossip.
Lex: I wasn’t gossiping... I was talking about my concerns with a mate.
Ryan: Well you can stuff your concerns.
Lex: Ryan!
Ryan: I know what I’m doing with my life... and with that of my son... you... and your ‘mate’ can get lost! I don’t need or want your input... from now on, stay the hell out of my life!
(Ryan turns to walk away and Lex reaches out to stop him.)
Lex: Ryan... wait!
Ryan: No... I’m not interested in whatever you’ve got to say! Stay the hell out of my life!
(Ryan pulls away and Lex shakes his head and drops his head.)
Ryan: Goodbye Lex!
[Ryan walks away from his mate and the Lex looks like a confused and lost little boy before the camera fades out on the scene.]
Scene 21
[Brady runs into the cafe where Bray and Slade are seated, Slade almost drops his cup of coffee when he sees that Brady has a ball stuffed underneath her jumper.]
Slade: Brady, what have you done?
Brady: I’m having a baby... silly!
(Slade glances at Bray who is smiling.)
Bray: Don’t look at me... this one is all yours.
(Slade rolls his eyes and pulls out the chair next to him.)
Slade: Come sit down Brady... I have to talk to you.
(Brady comes running and takes a seat next to Slade, she pats the ball underneath her jumper and smiles.)
Brady: I’m having a baby!
Slade: Brady... honey. You can’t have a baby. You are too young.
Brady (frowns): Can mummy have a baby then? She’s old!
(Bray coughs into his water as Slade shoots him a look.)
Slade: Maybe... can I have the ball?
(Brady frowns and then pulls the ball from underneath her dress.)
Slade: Thank you!
[Brady bounds off as Bray smirks at Slade who puts the ball on the table and takes a long hard swig of his drink before the camera fades to the next scene.]
Scene 22
[Camera cuts back to the Amazon base, in Zandra’s office; Blaine is tied up and is sitting on the floor against the wall]
Zandra: (Shouting) Did you really think you were going to get away with this....? Sleeping with my best friend behind my back, what the hell were you playing at Blaine?
(Blaine looks up, both his eyes are black and one of them is slightly closed)
Blaine: I love Elissa!
Zandra: (Screams) NO! You’re meant to love me!
(Zandra rushes over to him and kicks him in the stomach)
Male voice: Zandra?
(Camera pans around to show Lex standing in the doorway)
Zandra: Get lost Lex, this is nothing to do with you!
Lex: Yes it does!
(Lex closes the door and walks further into the room)
Lex: This isn’t you, the Zandra I knew would never do this, and she would never try to control love!
Zandra: I’ve told you before that Zandra is dead!
Lex: come on Zandra let him go; I think he’s learnt his lesson!
Zandra: He hasn’t
(Zandra goes to kick him again but Lex pulls her back)
Zandra: (shouts) Let go Lex!
Lex: Not until you listen!
Zandra: Screw you Lex!
(Lex turns Zandra around in his arms)
Lex: You need to let him go, Zandra you know you can’t force someone to love you, it doesn’t work like that?
Zandra: (Spits) What would you know about love Lex, you have never loved anyone!
Lex: (shakes his head) I love my son!
(Zandra staggers back)
Zandra: Lex!
[Camera pans out before cutting to black]
Scene 23
[Camera fades in to show a dirty back ally, something moves behind some cardboard boxes. Camera zooms in and we see that it is May.]
(May pushes herself up from the group and rubs her eyes.)
May: Shit its cold!
(May reaches down to pick up her coat but finds that it has been taken)
May: Bugger!
[May wraps her arms around herself and makes her way slowly back to the airport. Camera fades out to black]
Scene 24
[Cutting in from the previous scene we are outside Amber and Bray’s room, the door is still closed and the camera pans around as we see that a happy Bray is strolling towards the room. When he reaches the outside door he stops and frowns, he knocks and hearing no answer he pushes the door open.]
Bray: Amber? What’s....?
(The camera pans around and we see that Amber is over the far side of the bedroom, with Jay standing near the doorway.)
Bray: What the hell is he doing here?
Amber (shakily): He told me he loved me...
Bray: HE WHAT?
(Jay smirks at Bray.)
Jay: Jealous?
Bray (laughs): Of you?
(Bray stops laughing and quickly brings his fist up and smacks Jay squarely on the jaw. Jay recoils and falls to the floor.)
Bray: Get the hell out of our home... and leave us alone!
(Jay pulls himself up off the floor, a dark and angry look on his face as he points at Bray.)
Jay: That is the last time you’ll ever... ever touch me!
(Amber moves from her corner of the room to stand next to Bray, their arms wrapped around each other.)
Bray: Get out!
Jay: You... (Points at Amber and Bray) ...will never be happy... I’ll get you both back... if it’s the last thing I ever do!
(Jay storms out of the room, shattering the glass in the door as he slams it shut. The camera stays with Amber and Bray, as Bray kisses Amber’s head possessively.)
Bray: I won’t let him hurt our family... I promise!!
[Amber nods as the two embrace tightly and the camera cuts to the next scene.]
Scene 25
[Camera cuts back to the Amazon base]
Lex: (shouts) Don’t tell me that I don’t know what love is, I was in love with you and I loved Tai-San before she died!
Zandra: (laughs) You were never in love with me Lex, you just wanted to use me, I wasn’t stupid you know, the first time you slept with Tai-San it opened my eyes!
(Lex shakes his head)
Lex: We were perfect back in the day!
Zandra: We were far from perfect, you tried to rape me Lex and I was stupid enough to marry you after it!
Lex: I was stupid back then, I didn’t realise how much I loved you until it was too late!!
(Zandra turns away from Lex and stares at Blaine)
Zandra: Do you love her Blaine?
Blaine: More than anything!
Zandra: Would you ever hurt her?
Blaine: I respect her to much to hurt her!
Zandra: Did you ever love me?
Lex: Zandra don’t!
Blaine: (shakes his head) I’m sorry Zandra I was just your slave, you used and abused me as much as you could, you never showed me any love, not like Elissa!
(Zandra turns away from Blaine and stares at Lex with tears in her eyes)
Zandra: See what you’ve done Lex, you did this to me, and you broke me! You hurt me so much that I became you, twist, angry and a rapist!
[Camera zooms in on Lex’s hurt face before camera pans out and fades to black]
Scene 26
[Ellie walks into the breakfast room and finds Alice and Miri playing, Miri is playing with one of the baby play centres and Alice is sitting by her watching happily. Ellie watches for a few moments before she coughs and draws attention to herself.]
(Alice looks up and shakes her head.)
Alice: Ellie.
(Ellie smiles weakly and takes a seat next to Alice.)
Alice: Before you start, if you’ve come to pick an argument... you can walk straight out that door.
(Ellie shakes her head.)
Ellie: I haven’t... I promise.
Alice (nods): That’s fine. You can stay then.
Ellie: Thanks.
(Ellie takes a seat on the floor next to Alice and smiles when Miri crawls over to her. Ellie picks up her niece and hugs her close.)
Alice: She likes you.
Ellie: I hope so... I like her too!
Alice: What did you want Ellie?
Ellie: I came to apologise.
Alice: Again? Isn’t this getting a bit repetitive?
(Ellie shakes her head and hands Miri over as Alice reaches for her daughter.)
Ellie: I mean it... I’m through... fighting with you. If you and Miri want to spend your life with Tully, I’m not going to stand in your way. I’m going to support you all the way... and if you’ll allow it, to be a part of all of your lives.
(Alice takes a deep breath.)
Alice: You mean it?
Ellie: I do.
Alice: I’m glad your back sis. And yes, we’d love to have you as part of our lives... but be warned Ellie, one more wrong step and we’re finished... I won’t keep putting us through this.
Ellie: I swear it Alice... on my life that I’m done being the spoilt little sister... I’ve grown up!
[Alice and Ellie hug, as Miri reaches for her aunt and the relatives embrace before the camera fades out to the next scene.]
Scene 27
[Danni is making her way through the city, as she walks she looks behind her every now and then.]
(Camera zooms in on Danni and we can hear that she is talking to herself in a very quiet but fast voice)
Danni: (Only catch a few words) Can’t.... Dead... Stupid... Rain... Amber... Bray...
(Danni thinks she spots someone behind her and spins around)
Danni: (Screams) LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!
[Danni breaks into a run and disappears into the crowd of people in the market; camera pans out before fading to black]
Scene 28
[Camera fades in from the previous scene to show Axel and Darryl standing outside Axel’s room. In one hand Axel is holding a suitcase]
Axel: (Looks over at Daryl) Are you sure... I don’t want you to rush into anything?
(Darryl takes hold of Axel’s other hand)
Darryl: (Nods) I’m sure, I don’t want to be on my own anymore!
Axel: I will never leave your side!
(Axel leans in and kisses Darryl gently on the lips)
Axel: Come on let’s unpack your stuff!
Darryl: (Smirks) We can do that in the morning!
Axel: (rolls his eyes) Bloody hell Darryl!
[The two boys laugh as they enter Axel’s room. Camera zooms out before fading to the next scene]
Scene 29
[The scene fades in from the previous scene as we see Zandra once again at the Amazon camp, she is more upset that she has previously been and she turns to some of the female guards that are standing in her doorway.]
Zandra: Get rid of Blaine...
Guard 1: Zandra?
(Zandra takes a deep breath.)
Zandra: Didn’t you hear me? I said let him go... take him and dump him on the streets. He leaves with no food, no belongings and no friends. Only the clothes he is wearing.
(The guards nod at Zandra and she is left alone.)
(Moving over to an old chest, Zandra reaches inside and pulls out a small item. As the camera pans in closer we see that the item is a faded baby sock. Zandra holds it close and inhales the smell.)
Flashback
(Zandra keeps vigil with Lex. He won't eat, not even just to please her, and condemns himself for how he has treated her, only ever thinking of himself. Zandra insists he made her really happy, and best of all is the baby growing inside her.)
End flashback
Zandra: I would have made a great mother... I know...
[Zandra drops the sock and breaks down into tears as she falls to the floor and the camera cuts to the next scene.]
Scene 30
[The camera fades in once again to Bray and Amber’s room, the two of them are still hugging tightly as Bray pulls away.]
Bray: You’re shaking Amber... did he hurt you?
(Amber shakes her head and rests it against Bray’s shoulder.)
Amber: No... He just scared me. He’s insane Bray!
Bray: I know... but like I said, I won’t let anything happen to you or our family, so long as I live.
Amber (smiles): I know... but still...
(Bray pulls Amber into his body, and then holds her chin in his hands, so that she is looking up at him.)
Bray: I promise... to love you forever.
Amber: Bray...
Bray: We’ll always be together Amber... you’re my soul mate... you know that!
Amber: I do... but...
Bray (frowns): But what?
Amber: Will you marry me?
(Bray blinks a couple of times and takes a step back from Amber.)
Bray: Say what?
Amber: I said... will you marry me?
(Bray takes a deep breath and sighs.)
Bray: I can’t Amber.
Amber (frowns): Why not?
Bray: I don’t believe in marriage Amber... I never have. But I do love you... isn’t that enough?
(Amber sighs and nods weakly.)
Amber: I guess it’ll have to be... I just always wanted to get married, and when I realised you were the one I always wanted to be with, I wanted that so much.
Bray: I’m sorry to disappoint you.
Amber: You didn’t Bray... it was a silly idea.
Bray: No it wasn’t... it was a lovely gesture, and I’m flattered. But for now, can we just be soul mates?
(Amber laughs and falls back into Bray’s arms.)
Amber: You know how much I love you!
Bray: No...
Amber: This much...
[Amber kisses Bray passionately and pulls him towards the bed, as the pair of them fall down together their hands roaming over each other as the camera fades to black on the pair of them.]
