Episode one - set in the countryside in the winter time

Francesca is shown driving her car furiously. She suddenly pulls up outside a house (on a main road). Adam walks out of the house. Francesca follows Adam as he is waking, she backs. Noticing Adam turning and looking as if he was going to cross the road. He crosses. She speeds up and runs him over, then drives away. Francesca doesn't realise that there are cameras on that street so the next day she gets a knock at her door and is then arrested by the police.

Francesca; *calls 999*. Hi, hi, erm I need an ambulance quickly, someone’s been hit *pause* the pelican crossing on Bamber street. Thank you hurry.

*ambulance arrives, police walk over to Francesca*

Police 1: Hi, we’re going to have to take you in for interrogation.

Police 2: We’ve been informed that this car belongs to you. Why did you not tell us?

Francesca: *stutters* I, I, I didn’t know what to do. I was just driving and then it happened. I didn’t know what to do, it’s all a blur.

Police 2: Calm down, please. We will have to arrest you on suspicion of murder.

Francesca: What, he’s dead?

Police 1: I’m afraid so, arrest her.

Kates voice over: and this is where it all began. The day I lost the most important person to me – my best friend

*the next day*

Police 1: you’ve got a visitor, come on!

Francesca: Who? Is it my mum?

Police 1: you’ll see when you get there, hurry up.

*Francesca scrambles to get ready and follows the police woman*

Francesca: Theo! You don’t understand how happy I am to see you.

Theo: Don’t act all innocent, Fran. I know what you’ve done. How could you?

Francesca: I didn’t do it, I promise!

Theo: It’s obvious Francesca! Everyone knows how much you were jealous of Adam and his relationship.

Francesca: I loved him, I’d never do it

Theo: I hope, I so hope you’re telling the truth.

Francesca: Please, trust me. Find Katie and let her know I’m sorry, please! I’m begging you.

Theo: Fine, I’ll go now.

Francesca: Thank you so much, bye.

Theo: Don’t get used to it, I’m done. I’m always finding myself in these situations with you, I can’t deal with it no longer.

Francesca: Theo, stop, wait THEO.

*Theo walks away*

*shows a phone ringing and being answered but no face is shown*

Voice: Hi darling, it’s bad news. Adam’s dead I’m so sorry to have to let you know. I know, it’s far too early. He was a good lad was our Adam.
