The video opens with a blank, black screen; the first sound to be heard is the voice of Sylvia Jones.
Sylvia: 'Hello?'
That is followed by the panicked sounding voice of her brother, Simon Jones.
Simon: 'Sylvia?'
Sylvia: 'Yes, it's me - were you expecting someone else?'
Having been caught off-guard by that question, Simon's tone of voice changes, as he stumbles over his words.
Simon: 'What? No...I...'
Simon is interrupted by his sister.
Sylvia: 'Hey, what's this I hear about you cheating on Jacqui?'
Simon's tone of voice changes again, now sounding incredulous.
Simon: 'What?! I haven't cheated on Jacqui - I would never play away from home; you must know that, surely?'
Sylvia: 'The Simon that I know wouldn't cheat on his wife - so why does she think that you have cheated on her?'
Simon: 'After I returned home, I talked to Jacqui about what we discussed last week: I told her that I've been thinking about leaving SCW, to move back to the UK, permanently - but she mistook my reasons for wanting to do so.'
Sylvia: 'She thinks you want to stay in Cardiff, because you've started an extramarital relationship with someone there.'
Simon: 'Correct.'
Sylvia: 'But why on earth would she think that?'
Simon: 'Do you remember me telling you about the girl that I befriended at the gym?'
Sylvia: 'Yeah, kind of; Natalie, is that her name?'
Simon: 'That's right. A friend of Jacqui's saw Natalie and I at the gym, as well as socialising away from the gym - from that, she inferred that I was having an affair; she then relayed her observations to Jacqui, who it seems agrees that the sightings of me with Natalie - in more than one location - are evidence of me having an affair.'
Sylvia: 'And she thinks that you wanting to stay in Cardiff, is further evidence of that.'
Simon: 'Right. So look, Syl, the reason why I called you, is that I was hoping you could speak to Jacqui for me, and try to get her to come to her senses - please.'
Sylvia: 'What can I say to Jacqui that could get her to change her mind?'
Simon: 'Just tell her everything that we discussed last week, while we were in Cape Town - tell Jacqui that I genuinely want to do what is right for her and Matty, and put them first, ahead of my career; moreover, try to convince Jacqui that I'm not having an affair.'
Sylvia: 'And what if she doesn't believe me?'
Simon: 'I don't know - I really don't know; I'm almost out of ideas as it is.'
Sylvia sighs.
Sylvia: 'Okay, Simon - I'll try.'
The scene fades in to again show the living room of Simon Jones' house in Cardiff, this time on the evening of Friday 30th May. Simon is sat on the black sofa - that is opposite the camera - quietly reading a book; he is wearing a pair of navy blue jeans, and a dark red t-shirt that has the Superdry logo on it.
The silence is broken by the sound of a doorbell; Simon puts the book down beside him, on the sofa, and then stands up. The camera follows Simon, as he walks through the open door - that is to the right of the sofa - out of the living room and into the hallway. Simon glances to his left, where - in the kitchen - Jacqueline Jones can be seen sat on a chair, chatting on a phone; Simon then turns to his right, towards the front door. Simon opens the door, and stood outside, is an attractive woman, who looks to be in her early twenties; she has long, dark brown hair - which is tied back in a ponytail - and she is wearing a pair of black trousers, and a white polo shirt.
Both Simon's facial expression, and his tone of voice, convey his surprise at seeing this woman on his doorstep.
Simon: 'Natalie?'
Natalie: 'Hi, Simon.'
Simon: 'What are you doing here?'
Natalie: 'I...'
Natalie barely has a chance to respond, before she is interrupted by Simon.
Simon: 'Hold on - how did you get my address? I remember telling you that I live in Cathays, but I don't recall being any more specific than that.'
Natalie: 'I went through the files at the gym, that contain the details of everyone that has a membership - we're not supposed to use the information for personal reasons, but I had to do something to try to help you. So I found your address, and then, once my shift was over, I came here as quickly as I could.'
Simon: 'I see. Well, I'm not really sure how much you are going to be able to help me.'
Natalie: 'I want to at least try. Is your wife in? I would like to try talking to her, if I may.'
Simon sighs.
Simon: 'Okay; I suppose it can hardly make matters any worse than they already are.'
Simon steps to one side, to allow Natalie to enter the house, and then shuts the door behind her; stood next to Simon, Natalie appears to be only around an inch shorter than him.
Simon: 'She's in the kitchen.'
Natalie: 'Lead the way.'
The camera follows Simon and Natalie, as they make their way along the hallway, and into the kitchen, where Jacqueline is now on her feet, having risen from the chair that she was sat in previously; Jacqueline is wearing a pair of pink slim leg trousers and a dark green tunic.
Jacqueline has finished the telephone conversation that she was having - although she is still holding the phone in her right hand; she looks across at her husband, and the woman stood by him - both of whom are looking towards Jacqueline. Simon glances anxiously at Natalie, and then looks to his wife again.
Simon: 'Jacqui, this...'
As Simon hesitates, Natalie introduces herself, confidently.
Natalie: 'Hi, I'm Natalie.'
Jacqueline: 'The girl from the gym?'
Natalie nods her head; Jacqueline looks her up and down.
Jacqueline: 'You certainly look like you spend plenty of time at the gym.'
Natalie: 'And the picture of you that Simon showed me, doesn't do you justice.'
Jacqueline: 'Well, thank you.'
A moment of awkward silence follows, before Natalie speaks again.
Natalie: 'Look, I know that I'm probably the last person you expected to see standing in your kitchen, but I had to come here to speak to you, and to assure you that there is nothing going on between Simon and I; the two of us are friends - and nothing more.'
Natalie glances at Simon, who is looking down at the floor; she then looks back to Jacqueline.
Natalie: 'On the first day I met Simon, he told me about you, and your daughter; whenever he spoke about the two of you, the pride in his voice was unmistakable. Now, contrast that with how he has looked this week: he has looked like a broken man; he has still been working out, but his heart hasn't been in - he's just been going through the motions.'
Natalie glances at Simon once more, before looking back at Jacqueline.
Natalie: 'After Simon arrived at the gym on Wednesday morning, he completely ignored me; he made no effort to talk to me - he wouldn't even make eye contact with me. But then, I cornered him, and he opened up to me about what had happened with you, the night before.'
Natalie again glances at Simon - who is still looking at the floor - and then looks back to Jacqueline.
Natalie: 'I'm not a home-wrecker - I wouldn't do that to another woman. And I know that I've only known Simon for about a month and a half, but given the fondness with which he would always speak about you, I find it hard to believe that he would ever even think about cheating on you, let alone actually do it.'
Simon finally tears his eyes away from the floor, as he looks up at his wife - a pained expression on his face, anguish in his voice.
Simon: 'I would never cheat on you, Jacqui; please, you have to believe me.'
Jacqueline sighs; she puts the phone down on the kitchen worktop, behind her.
Jacqueline: 'That was Sylvia, who I was talking to on the phone.'
Simon looks at Natalie.
Simon: 'My sister.'
Natalie nods her head; she and Simon both turn back to look at Jacqueline.
Jacqueline: 'Sylvia told me about everything that the two of you did while you were in Cape Town - including everything that the two of you discussed.'
Simon: 'And?'
Jacqueline: 'And, after hearing what she had to say - and after hearing what Natalie here just said, too - I...I believe you.'
Simon: 'Really?'
Jacqueline nods her head, and Simon then rushes across, to hug her; Natalie smiles, at the sight of the couple's embrace.
Jacqueline: 'Oh, Simon - I've been such a fool, haven't I?'
Simon cups his wife's face with his hands.
Simon: 'Hey, I'll always love you, no matter what - you remember that, okay?'
Jacqueline nods her head again.
Simon: 'The biggest mistake I ever made, was thirteen years ago, when I went off to the US, and left you behind in the UK - I don't know how I coped, being without you for all of those months. But one thing I do know, is that I'll never let go of you again.'
Simon hugs his wife tightly, once more. Simon then looks at Natalie, smiles, and silently mouths the words, "Thank you;" Natalie smiles back, and mouths, "You're welcome." And within a matter of seconds, the scene fades to black.
