2. Fade in
Exterior location #1 – Beach
Lily and Lucas appear in the distance walking up the promenade hand in hand, they continue to walk
looking happy and smiling and laughing together.
Lily
(Voice over begins)
Everything was perfect. I had my perfect man, my perfect life; everything was going brilliant for us.
We had discussed our future. Our 4 children, 2 girls and 2 boys, although we would be happy with
anything, they would be perfect. Of course they would, they would be ours. Mine and Lucas.
We were inseparable, we did everything together. We laughed, we joked. I couldn’t imagine my life
without him. It was like we were in a dream.
I was in love, we were in love. I couldn’t wait to become Mrs Jacobs. Imagine that, Mr and Mrs
Jacobs.
Nothing could get in our way. Well, at least that’s what we thought.
Action continues during voiceover
Exterior location #1 – Lily and Lucas are stood by the sea, Lucas arms around Lily waist with them

sweets and trying to get them into Lucas mouth.

Voice over finishes
Interior location #3 – Lily and Lucas stood in front garden having what looks like heated argument,
Lily crying and screaming at Lucas who is just stood there, looking upset.
Lily
How dare you, it was meant to be me and you forever right?
Lucas
It can be, don’t talk like that, please, let’s go inside Lily, and let’s sort this out.

3. Interior location #4 – Lily is led in the bed alone. She wakes up suddenly and sits up breathing heavily,
with make up running down her face and her hair in a mess with empty drink bottles and pill bottles
surrounding her in the bed. She looks around, and then looks down on the bed she is laying on to
reveal the opposite side of the bed is covered in blood. She then puts her head in her hands, which
are now also revealed to the camera to be covered in blood.
