Scene 1
[Camera zooms to Amber, Salene runs to Amber’s side and then glances up at the stranger]
Salene (eyes widen, and her voice is shaky): Bray… is it really you?
[Bray steps forward from the shadows more, looking slightly older and thinner than when he last saw the Mallrats]
Bray (nods): Yes Salene… it’s me (frowns down at Amber)… is she going to be okay? She looks bad…
[Salene checks Amber’s pulse]
Salene: She just fainted, she’s gonna be fine…
[Jack, Ellie and Darryl appear from different directions… Jack drops to his knees to help Salene with Amber, and Ellie gasps, almost fainting into Darryl’s arms…]
Ellie: Bray… you’re back…
[Camera pans around to Bray’s face, as he glances down at Amber, unable to take his eyes off her]
Scene 2
[Bray watches as Salene and Ellie help an unconscious Amber to her room, while all the others emerge from the their rooms… each equally shocked to see him back]
Bray (shakes his head): It’s so good to see so many of you guys…
Jack (smiles): Where have you been Bray?
Bray: Where I haven’t I been? I mean what are the chances of us bumping into each other again like this?
[Ryan emerges from behind Bray, Cass holding his hand as he smiles]
Ryan: You’re not the only one to make a return Bray…
Bray (eyes widen): Ryan? Wow… this is a surprise…
Patsy: What about me?
Bray: Patsy too? I thought you were dead…
Patsy (pouts): I’m not dead…
Bray (laughs): I know that know… (Hugs Patsy tightly)
[Everyone looks happy; all the Mallrats are hanging off every word Bray says… except for Jay who looks horrified and Lex who doesn’t like not being the centre of attention. Camera pans around to show Salene, who walks back into the café, as everyone falls quiet]
Bray (stands): How is she?
Salene: She’s still unconscious Bray… seeing you must have been a real shock…
Bray (sighs): Can I see her?
Salene: Sure…it’s just down the hall…
[The others watch as Bray leaves the café… the camera panning round to show him approaching Amber’s room.]
[Amber is lying unconscious on her bed… as Bray stands in the doorway, not quite believing she’s really back in his life again]
Bray (sighs): It’s really you Amber… if only you knew how many times I thought of this moment. I didn’t expect you to faint at seeing me again, I wanted to sweep you into my arms and tell you that I love you…
[Bray looks at the floor and sighs]
Bray: I have to go now… but know this; I’ll be back Amber. I’ll be back real soon and then we can be together…
[Bray enters Amber’s room and kisses her gently on the forehead, his hand reaches out to stroke her cheek before he silently leaves the room and slips out of the main entrance back onto the streets]
Scene 3
[The camera cuts to the Café where the Mallrats gathered after Bray’s departure, they are all talking excitedly wondering when he will be back and who he will bring, and Jay is sulking in the corner not taking part in the conversation]
Patsy: (talking very fast and is the most exited out of them all) I wonder if Cloe is with him, oh wont it be great if she was, and what if Kc is there also.
Ellie: (Leans on Jack with a smile and talks more to herself then the others) Alice….
Tai-san: (smiles) It could be any of our old friends
Lex: Or just some new friends of the great Bray
Patsy: (Frowns) Shut up Lex, you don’t know anything
Lex: (Grins) and you’re still the annoying little kid
Ryan: (smiles at Patsy) Well I wouldn’t say that, she’s been though a lot….Trudy?
(The camera cuts to the door where we see Trudy, Darryl and Brady. Darryl is holding Brady and helping Trudy move into the room. Ryan and Patsy get up and move towards their friend, Patsy and Trudy look at each other for a couple of seconds before both smile and hug, Ryan follows suit and hugs Trudy also)
Ryan: Good to see you again
Trudy: (Weakly) You too Ryan and you also pats.
Salene: You ok now?
Trudy: Yeah…I think so
Tai-san: (smiles and offers her seat to Trudy) That’s good
[The camera fades out as the talking picks up again about who Bray is bringing back, Ellie gets up and leaves and Jack follows]
Scene 4
[The camera fades into Jack’s and Ellie’s room, Ellie is sitting on their bed when Jack walks in and pulls up a chair in front of her]
Jack: (Concerned) What’s wrong Ellie?
Ellie: (Tearful) What if Alice isn’t with them, everyone will be back apart from my sister.
Jack: (sighs) Ellie, don’t do this to yourself
Ellie: (Looks into his eyes) I really miss her Jack
Jack: (Pulls her into a hug) I know but if she’s not with them, then we will come up with something and look for her.
Ellie: (Small smile) You promise?
Jack: Yes
(He leans in and kisses her softly on the lips)
Ellie: Jack?
Jack: Yeah?
Ellie: (Smiles) I love you
Jack: (Grins and pulls her closer) I love you too!
[The camera zooms in as the couple fall into another kiss]
Scene 5
[Camera turns to show Jay creeping along the corridor to Amber’s room, checking that there’s no one in there with her… he steps in and sits down on the bed. Gripping her hand in his own]
Jay: Amber… I love you. I know you love me to.
[Amber stirs momentarily as she moves, causing Jay to look worried]
Jay: We’ll be together Amber… you and me. Amber and Jay. That’s who we should be. Just because Bray put in a momentary appearance before doing a running act, doesn’t mean you and him will be anything. You can’t, you can’t leave me Amber…
[Jay sighs and reaches up to touch Amber’s cheek]
Jay: Because I love you… I might not always show it. But I truly do love you, more than I’ve ever loved anyone. More than anything I ever felt with Ebony or Trudy. Don’t you see Amber? You’re my everything! And if you go back to Bray, I’ll lose you for good… and I couldn’t go on living like that…
[Jay puts his head in his hands as he starts to sob, while Amber mumbles in her sleep… the camera panning out of Jay’s tear stained face]
Scene 6
[Salene is making a hot chocolate in the café, the camera zooming to her smiling face as it changes to a cold look, before it pans around to Ruby as she walks in]
Ruby (looks worried): Um… do you want me to leave?
Salene (shrugs): I’m almost done…
Ruby: Ah, okay…
[Ruby heads to the cupboard, rummaging around before she pokes her head out…]
Ruby: Do we have any hot chocolate?
[Salene holds up the tub she’s been using as she glares at Ruby]
Ruby (frowns): Um… thanks…
[The kitchen falls silent as Salene stirs her hot chocolate, and Ruby boils the water for her own…]
Ruby: Salene… is there something wrong? I mean did I do something to upset you?
Salene (shakes her head): Geez… you must be dumber than you look?
Ruby (frowns): Is this about May? And the other day?
Salene (claps): Wow… give the lady a medal…
Ruby: Look nothing went on, nothing is going on between May and I, and she loves you…
Salene: She’s sure got a funny way of showing it…
[Salene slams down her spoon before marching out of the cafeteria… the camera panning back around to Ruby’s sad looking face]
Scene 7
[Tai-san sits cross-legged on the floor of her room, trying to mediate. Sighing she moves out of the meditating position and slumps onto her bed, pulling out her diary from underneath the mattress]
[Sighing, Tai-san flips to the first blank page, takes out a pen and starts to scribble away]
I wonder if I made the biggest mistake… I slept with Lex, and it was my fault. I didn’t seduce him, he was drunk and one thing led to another… before I knew what was happening we were naked under the covers and I was in his arms again. Those arms that I’ve missed so much… and I have missed him. See I love that man that rogue more than I ever thought I would.
But now I wonder, have I ruined any chance of us having a decent relationship together… have I moved too fast, and made him assume things that I’m just not ready for.
I feel so mixed up at the moment… I love him, but I’m not ready to jump back into being married again. The question is what do I do?
[Closing up the diary, Tai-san slipped it back under her bed…]
Tai-san: It’s a good question… what do I do next?
[Camera zooms out of Tai-san’s worried looking face]
Scene 8
[Camera zooms in on the outskirts of the city. Maya, Surfer and Kaden sit around the dying fire. Kaden is drawing in the dirt with a stick]
Maya: (looks around worried) Bray’s taking his time.
Surfer: (Rolls his eyes) I’m sure he’s fine…maybe he’s found the Mallrats
Maya: (Brings her knees up to her chest) And once he’s back with his tribe what do you think will happen to us?
Kaden: (Confused) what do you mean?
Maya: What will happen to us, if the Mallrats don’t want us in their tribe, Bray will just drop us and go back to his tribe
Surfer: (Shakes head) Don’t be stupid Maya of course they will…I think
Kaden: (Starts to get upset) You think?
Surfer: (nods) its not like we know these Mallrats, what if they changed since Bray left…
(The camera spins around standing behind Maya is Bray with a small smile)
Bray: Don’t worry they haven’t changed.
(The others stand up and face Bray)
Maya: (folds her arms across her chest) You come to say goodbye
Bray: (Laughs) Of course not…I’m here for you guys
Kaden: (Smiles and wraps his arms around Brays waist) so we’re coming with you, back to your family?
Bray: (Messes Kaden’s hair and laughs) Yeah…you guys coming.
[Both Maya and Surfer nod before picking up their bags, the camera zooms onto Kaden’s happy face before fading out]
Scene 9
[Salene and Trudy are in the café talking; they suddenly stop when a group walk in led by Bray]
Bray: (smiles) we’re back
(Trudy places her cup on the nearest table before running up to Bray and pulling him into a hug)
Trudy: Welcome back Bray
Bray: (Laughs) good to see you too…I mean it was only a couple of hours ago
(Salene looks behind over Brays shoulder)
Salene: Ved?
(The others look at the blonde guy)
Bray: (Smiles) so that’s your name?
Ved: (confused) I guess so…
Salene: (Laughs) What do you mean you think? You must know your own name?
Ved: No…I don’t remember anything until they found me
Salene: (Shocked) Oh no…Jay
(The camera spins to the corridor where Jay is walking past; he stops and looks in when the others turn around to face him.
Jay: Ved?
Ved: (Confused) and you are?
[Camera zooms in on Ved’s confused face]

[Camera zooms out on Ved’s face, before spinning around. Ved and Jay are in Jay’s new bedroom. Jay is sitting on his bed with his face in his hands, and Ved is leaning against the wall]
Jay: (Looking up) You don’t remember me? What about mum or dad?
Ved: (Shakes his head) no…I’m sorry
Jay: (Mutters to himself) I’m going to kill Ram.
Ved: Who’s Ram
Jay: It doesn’t matter
Ved: If you’re my brother why weren’t you with me?
Jay: You got taken away…
Ved: (looks away) Why didn’t you try and look for me?
Jay: (stands up and walks over to Ved) I did, I only came back the other day from looking for you
Ved: (Runs a hand through his hair) It doesn’t make sense.
Jay: (places hands on his brothers shoulders and looks him in the eyes) I know…it will do, as soon as Ram comes back he can sort your mind out.
(Ved nods before Jay pulls his younger brother into a hug)

[Camera pans around to show Amber and Trudy sitting in Amber’s room, Amber looks shocked and confused]
Amber: So I wasn’t seeing things? Bray’s really back?
Trudy (nods): Yes Amber… he’s back
Amber: But you said he went away again?
Trudy (sighs): Bray came back to see if it was really the Mallrats he’d heard about, then you fainted… he had to go and get the rest of his friends, the one’s he’s been travelling with… but now I think he’s back for good.
Amber (stands up): I need to talk to him… I have to explain about Bray jnr, about Jay… about everything…
Trudy (shakes her head): No Amber… not yet. Not until you’re both ready… you’ve been out of it for a while. And…
[Amber looks like she is going to leave the room despite Trudy’s protests, but then Bray jnr starts to cry…]
Trudy: You need to see to your son Amber… he must come first…
Amber (nods as she picks up Bray jnr): I know Trudy… it’s just, knowing he’s here… he’s alive… and…

May: I will always love you Sal… even if you don’t love me… you’re the one thing in my life that was decent and good. The one thing that made life worth living… and I will always… always be yours. You captured my heart… my soul.

[The camera cuts to the Kruls main base. It travels to the top room, Conrad is sitting behind his desk, three scared teenagers sit in front of him and other Krul members stand around the room]
Conrad: (leans forward) Why do you want to be members of my great tribe?
(One of the guys tries to reply but Conrad replies)
Conrad: (stands up) I’ll tell you, cause we are going to rule the city, we hold the key to the city and always will and you are to scared to stand against us so your joining us.
Guy 1: No its….
Conrad: Do you know how we came to be so amazing?
(All three shake their heads)
Conrad: (Smiles more to himself then the others) Before the chosen came, we were a mere tribe that was to small or weak for anyone to notice us, our leader wanted to gain the cities respect but when the chosen came she was killed…we were left without a leader, the tribe was falling apart as others left the city to get away from the chosen, that’s when I decided enough was enough and took charge…
FLASHBACK
[The camera fades out before fading back in, we are in a small room, a younger Conrad is standing in front of a small group of teenagers they all have the same tribal marking]
Tara: (shout) Don’t be stupid Conrad you’ll get us all killed
Conrad: (Shouts back) I’m not going to hid in the dark for the rest of my life…I’m going to fight back and take on anyone who stands against us
Tara: (Shakes head) and how are you going to do that?
Conrad: What’s with all the questions tar? Think about Laura…they killed her; they killed your sister and your going to let them get away…
Tara: (Teary eyes) They killed a lot of people, the best thing to do is move any start a new life.
(Some of the others, nod their heads in agreement)
Conrad: (shouts) I can’t believe you people, I thought we were going to be the best, rule the city?
Mike: Things change Conrad
Conrad: Or people change…like you, I saw the way you talked to that chosen girl the other night…
Tara: That’s not important here
Conrad: Fine you know what if you guys wont do it with me I’ll build the tribe up again with a better name and better members who aren’t to scared to fight…any of you who want to join can.
(Conrad turns away and walks out of the room a couple of seconds later some of the others follow soon only five people are left in the room, camera fades out before fading back into a larger room, Conrad is standing on a table talking to a large group of teenagers, some of them have the same tribal markings and the rest have different ones)
Conrad over voice: Soon my tribe grew larger as more tribes joined me, the chosen were getting weaker, as their leader had left and their base was weak as they were widely spread. We stormed their base and in two days the chosen left our city. The rest of the tribes thanked us and we set up base in the old chosen base.
(We see a younger Conrad walking down the main hall with two others, one on either side of him, a younger Wolf nods as Conrad tells me what to do)
Conrad OV: The city was perfect every tribe accepted us as leaders but that soon changed as the Techno’s attacked, taking a lot or our members and the other tribes. The other tribes blamed us and went against us. I stayed in the base as a Techno prisoner along with my must trusted friend Wolf. The Techno’s soon left the city and once again we were in control.
(Conrad is sitting on his table and Wolf is pacing the room)
Wolf: (Angry) You can’t do that?
Conrad: Why not?
Wolf: It’s called slavery
Conrad: Why shouldn’t I have slaves?
Wolf: (shouts) Conrad, don’t be a fool, the other tribes won’t like it, and I don’t like it…
Conrad OV: As the other tribes no longer trusted us, I wanted to teach them a lesson but Wolf didn’t like this, soon he left along with some others and formed a new tribe against us….
END FLASHBACK
Conrad: Now we are getting our power back but the stupid tribes no longer trust us and now with the freedom fighters and the Mallrats against us we have our path blocked, but we will soon be in control once we get the trouble tribes out of our ways….

Ram (shakes his head and then punches the guard in the stomach): I said, manners…
[Guard 1 doubles over in pain, as Guard 2 brings up his baseball bat and smacks Ram in the head, sending him flying. Ram lies on the floor groaning as the two guards regain their stance and head over to Ram…]
Guard 2 (pokes Ram with his bat): Now boy… we’ll be doing the one teaching around here…

Jack: I just miss him
Amber: I miss him too
Jack: (pulls away and wipes hi eyes) I’m just being stupid letting things get to me.
Amber: (Lets out a small laugh) You’re not being silly...
Jack: (Smiles) Do you ever wonder what it would be like if Dal was still alive?
