Background
Martha Holden had an affair with a man named Hunter Gillian;
son of Dennis Gillian- the mafia god who was after Peter
Baker. Martha soon discovered she was pregnant and Hunter
moved away, along with Dennis. Taking a DNA test, she was
pleased to find out the father of her baby was Jack Holden.
Meanwhile, a visitor arrived on Sally’s doorstep, a lady in
her fifties called Gloria Keating- Sally’s birth mum who had
supposedly died in an accident. Filling Sally in on all the
missing details, slowly Sally accepted her back into her
life. Though like every true newcomer to the Bay, everybody
has a secret.
PRESENT
Over the last two weeks, the Fletcher’s and Stewarts have
noticed they’ve been stalked by an unknown person. Just the
other night, their cars were bombed, leaving them with no
vehicles to get around in. Today, Jack and Alf went down to
the police station after discovering DNA was found on the
cars. While they disappeared, Martha’s water broke. With Alf
and Jack’s telephones off, Ric and Cassie leave the house to
find Jack and Alf. With no vehicles, Martha, Sally and
Gloria are waiting for an ambulance and enter Sally’s
bedroom after seeing Cassie and Ric off.
INT. CARAVAN PARK HOUSE – SALLY’S BEDROOM – NIGHT
SALLY and GLORIA enter. Sitting by MARTHA’S side, SALLY
begins to feel her forehead.
SALLY
You’re burning up.
GLORIA
She’ll be fine. Won’t you love?
(MARTHA smiles while breathing heavily. GLORIA wipes the
sweat off MARTHA’S face)
GLORIA
Sally, could you go downstairs and get me some ice, while
I’ll get some towels from the bathroom?
SALLY
Okay. I’ll be out in a second.
(SALLY holds MARTHA’S hand as GLORIA walks out)
MARTHA
What if they don’t find Jack and Granddad in time?
SALLY
You’ll be fine Martha. No matter what happens.
(SALLY kisses MARTHA on the top of her head and walks out)
INT. CARAVAN PARK HOUSE – HALLWAY - NIGHT
(SALLY notices GLORIA walking back with some towels. SALLY’S
smile turns to fear, now showing her true emotions about the
danger MARTHA is in)
SALLY
What if the ambulance doesn’t get here in time? Would you
know what to do?
GLORIA
Trust me darling, I know exactly what to do.
(GLORIA releases a smirk as she quickly moves closer to
SALLY and stabs her in the back. SALLY slowly drops to the
floor, gasping for air as GLORIA reveals a bloody knife,
hidden from underneath the towels. She drops the knife and
walks back into the bedroom)
INT. CARAVAN PARK HOUSE – SALLY’S BEDROOM – NIGHT
GLORIA
Okay, here we are.
(GLORIA begins to act all nice again, MARTHA struggles to
take her dressing gown off as GLORIA begins to wipe the
sweat off with the towel)
MARTHA
Where’s Sally?
GLORIA
Oh, she decided to go find Jack and Alf with the others. But
don’t worry, you still have me here.
(GLORIA turns away, MARTHA gathers a confused look)
MARTHA
What if the ambulance doesn’t get here in time?
GLORIA
Martha, it wouldn’t come to that. Dennis should be here.
[PAUSE] Any second now.
(MARTHA stops breathing heavily for a second and looks at
GLORIA who slyly smiles back at her)
INT. CARAVAN PARK HOUSE – HALLWAY – NIGHT
(Sally rolls over and feels her wound, revealing a bloody
hand. She lets out a small cry)
INT. CARAVAN PARK HOUSE – SALLY’S ROOM- NIGHT
MARTHA
What do you mean Dennis? What’s going on!?
GLORIA
Well where to begin? [LONG PAUSE] How about Hunter Gillian?
(GLORIA smiles as she touches MARTHA’S belly, MARTHA begins
to panic)
MARTHA
What about Hunter!?
GLORIA
After all, this is his baby. [PAUSE] Did you really believe
that Jack was the father? Just because you took a measly DNA
test?
MARTHA
What are you talking about? What’s going on!?
GLORIA
The DNA test you took. [PAUSE] Dennis manipulated and paid
the lab a large of sum of money to forge those results, to
make you believe the baby was Jack’s.
MARTHA
You’re lying! Where’s Sally?
GLORIA
Your family have been so generous taking me in, I can’t
thank you enough. We have big plans for this town, you know.
MARTHA
What?
GLORIA
My buying the caravan park, buying the overall share at the
surf club. Big plans for this town Martha. And big plans for
your baby.
MARTHA
I don’t believe this. We trusted you!
GLORIA
Wouldn’t you be a bit curious to how I fall into all of
this? [PAUSE] I’m Dennis’ sister, Hunter’s aunt! And once
you deliver this baby, your life is going to dramatically
change right before your very eyes.
(MARTHA is lost for words, as she slides away from GLORIA)
MARTHA
Hell has to freeze over before you get your hands on my
baby, lady!
GLORIA
Well get ready for the ice age, honey. Because life as you
know it is about to freeze over.
(MARTHA gets a strong contraction GLORIA gets up and moves
towards the door, then closes it)
GLORIA
Just breathe Martha. And push! |
