02x02 - Episode 2

[bunniefuu]

{\an8}I'm Emily's dad,
and I k*lled her.

{\an8}WOMAN: I understand
you're still married.

JACK: 'Tasha.' - Mummy, look.

JACK: 'You know, I
hope, wherever she is,

'she's managed to
find some peace.'

HAYLEY: Jen?

That's not possible.
You should've told me.

HAYLEY: 'It was
three years ago, Jen.

'You're with Connor now.

'Everything that Jack put you
through, it's in the past.'

{\an8}SAM: 'He's a psychopath.

{\an8}'He crashed a car with Emily
in it to try and hurt Tash.

'He can never know.'

JACK: 'Dig deeper, Johnny.'

She can't have disappeared
off the face of the Earth.

Sam, we didn't work before.

There's no reason
that we'd work now.

I was as good as a dad to that
girl for two years, all right?

I can't just forget that.

I am gonna do whatever I
have to to keep you safe.

JEN: He wants to
get to me, he will.

JACK: You must be Connor.
- Leave her alone.

She dreams about me.

This has nothing to do with me.

You're in this, Jen.

I don't want to go!

TASHA: 'Lucy, we're gonna
play the hiding game.'

TYRES SCREECH Hold on!

SHOUTS IN OWN LANGUAGE

I thought you weren't coming.

- Oh!
- How dare you?

How dare you think that
that's what this is?!

Let me tell you what this is.
This is your only warning.

f*ck off!
- OK, OK.

The stalking, the
following, it all stops now!

Move!
- I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.
- Move!

I had to see you.

I don't want you
within an inch of me!

No, don't nod like
you understand!

- I do. I do...
- No, you don't!

I'm not here to try
and win you back.

I'm not here to tell you
you're all I've thought about,

or to tell you that I love you.

I just want to say
I'm sorry. That's it.

I've done awful
things, Jen. I know it.

I've done awful things, and
I can barely forgive myself.

So I don't know why I expect
you to forgive me, but...

And I know you want me to hurt.

I don't want you to do anything.

I don't want you
to feel anything.

I want you to leave me alone.
- No...

JEN: No, no, I'm
calling the police!

JACK: No, don't do that.

You don't need to.
I'm done, I'm done.

I just needed you
to know the truth,

that I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry that it hurts,

and I can barely breathe
half of the time.

And it's my fault.
All of it is my fault.

And I can't tell Emily...

...but I can find Tasha,
and, face to face,

I'll beg her like I'm begging
you to know how sorry I am.

That's what I'm going to
do. I'm going to find Tasha.

Tasha doesn't want
to be found, Jack!

You chose this.

The pain that's carving you
up inside, you chose it.

I did not choose for
my daughter to die.

No, maybe I didn't deserve her.

No. She didn't deserve you.

She's free. God, she's free.

Connor seems really nice.

You don't know
anything about him.

No, but I've seen you.

He seems like a good
man. An honest man.

He's the kind of man
who'll make you feel safe.

Be happy, Jen.

I will be.

{\an8}- How do you feel?
- Hot...

{\an8}EMILY GROANS

This'll help.

All right, pickle?
EMILY GROANS

MACHINE BEEPS

Tonsillitis. She needs plenty
of fluids and lots of rest.

Really? No antibiotics?

paracetamol every four hours.

Take it to reception, please.
- Thank you.

SPEAKING OWN LANGUAGE

- Can I pay in cash?
- Yes. 50, please.

TILL BEEPING

Sorry. I left my
wallet in the car.

I'll be right back.
- OK.

FAINT CHATTER

Mummy...
- Yeah?

PHONE BUZZES

- 'Hello.'
- Hey, Sam.

It's me. It's Tasha. I'm...

'Please leave a
message after the beep.

'It's Sam.' BEEP

Hi, Sam, it's Tasha.

Look, something
happened. I-I...

I lost everything,
and... I need your help.

BEEPING

Sam, please, can you send
me some money? Emily's sick.

RAPID BEEPS Sam...

LINE GOES DEAD

Gonna find some medicine.

SIGHS

Open wide, sleepyhead.

There we go.

SIGHS

What?

What?

Why are you smiling like that?

Er... like what?

- Like that.
- I don't know.

Tell me.

There's nothing
to tell. I, erm...

I've just never seen
you quite like...

Did you enjoy it?

Absolutely.

Did you?
- Yes.

I love you.
- I love you.

What's up?

Nothing.

Are you sure?

- Can I tell you something?
- Yeah.

I saw Jack.

Not like that.

No, not like that.

I saw him to tell him to leave
me alone once and for all.

And why did you have
to see him to do that?

So he'd know I was serious...

about cutting him
out of my life.

And, what, he's just gonna
leave you alone now, is he?

- Yes.
- And how... how do you know?

Because I told him
I'd call the police.

And I told him how
much I love you.

And I told him how he
made me feel scared.

But I wasn't scared.

HE SIGHS

"And so Princess Emily
gathered all of her tears

"and all of her fears
into the most magical,

"most powerful potion of all.

"Nothing could stop her now."

"Princess Emily wasn't
just any princess.

"When she saw dragons
with their mighty fire

"and their fearsome breath,

"she didn't run and hide like
all the other princesses.

"Instead, with all her might...

"..she flew high into
the sky, ready to fight."

PHONE BUZZES

CLUNKING

g*n CLICKS, GASPS

What the f*ck are you
doing in my house?

KNOCK ON DOOR Well,
your dinner's cold,

but that's your fault for not
coming down when I said to.

CHILDREN GIGGLING NEARBY

I love you.

OK, well, it's just a
portobello pot roast.

Stop being weird.

DOOR CLOSES

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm just gonna get
my stuff and go.

You didn't answer me.

I clean here. I thought
the place was empty.

I-I just needed
somewhere to stay.

- You're a criminal.
- Please... let me go.

You'll never see me
again. EMILY: Mummy!

Oh... Oh, it's OK, pickle.

It's OK.
- Sorry, Mummy.

I was playing the hiding
game, and I was sick.

Yeah.

- What's the matter with her?
- We've got to go now, OK?

Have you got somewhere
to stay tonight?

- It's all right. We're off.
- No... wait!

Take her into the bathroom.
Clean her up in there.

Go.

SOFTLY: OK, we're gonna go
into the bathroom now, OK?

All right. It's OK, pickle.

Big sips.

Here.

Thank you.

Sleep well, little one.

We don't have to stay the night.

She does.

OK. Lie down.

When she's settled,
come downstairs, please.

- I think I'll stay up here...
- Come downstairs.

Are you gonna call the police?

- We'll see.
- Please... don't.

What is this?

If I'm going to let
you stay in my house,

telling me the truth is
the only option you've got.

My car was stolen.

I live miles away,

and then my daughter got sick...

...while we were
walking, and...

...I just needed to lay
her head down somewhere.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Not a hotel?

I left my wallet in the car.

No family?

No.

I don't do tears.

You've got one night.

DRAWER OPENING, CLOSING

THEY SPEAK OWN LANGUAGE

- Morning.
- Morning.

Where's your daughter?

I was just hoping to grab
some water, and then...

...and then we'll
be on our way.

- She's still asleep?
- Yeah.

I didn't catch your
name last night.

Serena.

You want a coffee, Serena?

No, thank you.

SHE SIGHS No
whisky? No coffee?

What kind of mother are you?

I'm gonna go wake her up.
She should be in her own bed.

BANGING ON DOOR

- Kalimera.
- Kalimera.

IN GREEK:

EXHALES DEEPLY

- Ah.
- Mm-hm.

Mummy.

Shh...

WHISPERING: Shh. Go back.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

Natasha.

They're gone.

And now you're going to tell
me who the hell you really are.

{\an8}ANNOUNCEMENT IN
GREEK: ...Larnaca.

{\an8}TASHA: 'Sam, please, can
you send me some money?'

{\an8}'Emily's sick. Sa...?'

{\an8}MAN: Larnaca.

- Sorry?
- Larnaca.

My home, on your phone.

It's a tannoy announcement
at the bus station.

- Y-You heard that?
- Yeah.

Well, where is it?

Cyprus.

SAM EXHALES

Do you...? 100%?

- Yeah.
- Oh. All right.

Erm, thank you.
Thank you, mate.

Er, but the cafe's closed now.
- What?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's closed.

Erm, new hours.
It's new hours.

Have a free cake. Cyprus?
- Yeah.

That's insane.

All right. Cool. Er...

Come again. Please. Thank you.

You OK?
- I'm fine.

How about I open a bottle
of, er... bottle of wine?

SHE CHUCKLES It's
not even midday.

Yeah, we're celebrating,

our wedding venue's all booked.

So, red, white?

Champagne.
- Champagne.

Champagne, obviously.

I think I left my
phone in the car.

Just two secs.
- OK.

sh*t. You need to leave.
- No, no, no, listen.

Tasha.
- I'm not interested.

I know where she is.

She's in Larnaca, Cyprus.
- And?

And she's in trouble.

I can't do this.

Well... No, please, I...

I hate having to ask this, but
I thought maybe you could...

you could lend me some money
that I can give to them.

Are you being serious?

I don't know who else to ask.

And I'm worried about...
about her and Emily.

Please.

No, no. I... Sam, I'm
sorry, but I can't do this.

HE EXHALES

HE SIGHS

Natasha.

It's just... It's
just Tasha, actually.

Why'd you lie?

- Why do you think?
- You're a criminal.

What do you want from us?

Why can't we just go?

I'm grateful you didn't
rat me out to the police,

but honestly, I'm not in
the mood for a talking to.

I'm exhausted, and I am empty.

- That's not true.
- Yes, it is.

I have got nothing left.

Tasha, I didn't rat you out

because I don't think
any kid deserves

to be separated
from their mother.

And I've seen women
like you before.

SHE SIGHS

Plenty of them who will fight,
steal, break into places,

anything to keep
their kid alive.

That's not empty.

Whatever it is you're running
from, you're safe here.

Is it Lucy's dad?

It's more complicated than that.

I can't tell you.

I wish I could, I can't.
I can't even tell her.

I have to tell her
all these stories.

I mean, she's my princess,
she deserves a castle, but...

I can't even give
her a warm bed.

So I have to make up stories
that we're on an adventure,

that we're playing
the hiding game,

that we're playing
the running game.

And she loves it now,
but I know that, one day,

she'll turn around and ask
me what really happened...

...or she'll call me a liar.

And...

...I cannot tell her,
and I can't tell you.

Stay.

Stay a little bit longer.

Thank you.

PHONE BUZZES

PHONE CHIMES, DISTANT SIRENS

DOORBELL RINGS

- Finally!
- Hayley, I'm busy.

- It's Jack.
- I don't care.

I can't get hold of him, OK?

And he's written the
most awful notes.

I open the one addressed to you.

I hope you don't
mind, but I had to.

HAYLEY WHIMPERS

I think he's gonna do something.

I don't know,
something catastrophic.

He... He talks about
how much he loves you,

how he'll always love
you but it's time to go

and see Emily now.

I've been to Jack's old
place, to our parents'.

W-What's River Point?
Your first place?

And he, erm...

he talks about the stars,
but I don't understand it,

but maybe you do.

You do, don't you?

Jen, where is he? Oh!
- I don't know. I don't know.

Have you called the police?
- Of course I have!

No-one knows him like
you do. Jen, please...

Ugh, it's you.

Well, I do live here, so...

- Jen, come on.
- Where are you going? To him?

Jen, you said you were
cutting him out of your life.

- No, this is different.
- We don't have time for this.

- He wrote Hayley and I notes.
- Don't.

I think... I think I
might know where he is.

- So?
- "So?"

Hayley, shut the f*ck up, OK?

Hey, Jen, listen to me.

Hey, this is what Jack does, OK?

I can't just let him.

You understand that, right?

I'll be back soon, I promise.

Haley, let me handle
this. I'll go alone.

DOOR CLOSES

She's flat out.
- Mm.

Oh, thank you. This
looks like a fun g*ng.

They were.

Were?

Those photographs were
taken a while ago.

Oh. You mean they've grown up?

Something like that.

This is a lovely
place you've got.

It's a holiday home.

I only come here occasionally
when it's not rented out.

What do you do for a living?

- I'm retired.
- From?

Cyprus National Guard.

I was an army guard.

- Tomb Raider.
- Ha!

Hardly.

So you bought this place
on an army pension?

Not quite.

I also know how to
fight and win a divorce.

Huh.

What about you?

TASHA CHUCKLES What about me?

How come you're in Cyprus?

I like the sunshine.

CHUCKLES SOFTLY

And the beaches.

You see much of them?

Tasha, if it's Lucy's
dad you're hiding from,

there's a woman's
refuge a few miles away.

No, it's not that. I
don't need a refuge.

It doesn't have to be like this.

But you already
know that, right?

Is there a way you can
speak to your ex safely,

get what you're owed for
you and your daughter?

Maria, it's not
quite what you think.

If you want that castle, Tasha,
you have to fight for it.

You want me to fight
harder than this?

Yes.

Because feeling safe, to
stop running is worth it.

BREATHES HEAVILY

SIRENS WAIL

Jack?

Jack!

What-What are you doing?
What are you doing?

- What everybody wants.
- No, nobody wants this, OK?

Just...
- Stay there, stay back!

Don't come any closer, please.
- I'm sorry. OK?

But... just think
of your family, OK?

Think of Hayley, your family.
They love you, all right?

They don't want you to do this.

And I do not want you
to do this, all right?

Just... THEY BREATHE HEAVILY

Please. Sit down,
sit down, OK?

- OK. Stay there, stay there.
- OK. Just, Jack...

- OK, I'm going to sit.
- Jack, please.

- Oh, sh*t.
- Holy f*ck! f*ck! OK.

THEY PANT

You're good.

How did you know?

I read your letter.

- You read it?
- Of course!

And you knew I'd be here?

You spoke about the stars, so I
knew it was where you proposed.

Oh...

Can I tell you something?

I never actually knew
what they were called.

I used to make it up
to try and impress you.

Yeah. Yeah, I knew.

- Did you?
- Yeah.

f*ck. THEY CHUCKLE SOFTLY

SHE HYPERVENTILATES

Do you remember when
we found one over there

and we said...

...if we ever had a baby...

...we'd name it after her.

And they built
that f*cking thing

and they blocked it out.

Everything's so f*cked, Jen.

Jack, just please, can you
come back over, please?

Just stay... Please
don't come any closer.

- OK.
- Please, don't.

HE BREATHES HEAVILY Oh, sh*t.

I've got nothing, Jen.

Please, Jack. Please.

I'm losing her voice.

I'm forgetting her voice, Jen.

She was so tiny.

I can only imagine
how Tasha feels.

I f*cking blindsighted her,
and she didn't deserve it.

And I used her.

And I took her baby from her.

What kind of a man f*cking d...?

HE EXHALES SHARPLY

Now I can't even find
her to apologise...

...or help her grieve or
whatever. I don't know.

If I can't even do
that, what's the point?

Jack...

What's the f*cking point?

Jack...

I love you so much, Jen.

Jack... Jack! HE GRUNTS

Ah! It's OK. Tasha's
in Cyprus, OK?

She's in Larnaca.
It's OK. I got you.

HE SIGHS IN RELIEF I've got you.

Thank you, Jen.

OK, Jack. Jack...

Jack?

Jack!

Jack!

f*ck! Jack!

f*ck!

Thank you.

Jen?

Hey.

Hey, what's happened?

Hey. Hey, hey, Jen.
Darling, tell me.

You're freezing.
What's happened?

Did you find him? Jen. Jen!

He f*cked me.

What? He what?

Really.

You're not making any sense,
Jen. You're talking in riddles.

I don't understand.
- You'll never understand.

- Then tell me. What can I do?
- Nothing.

What does he have over you?

Jack's daughter didn't
die in the crash.

She's been in hiding
with her mother.

I don't understand.

Tasha took her from the car
while we were unconscious.

What?

Jack was told that there
was no sign of his daughter

because there wasn't.

- So where did they go?
- Anywhere they could.

And what does any of
this got to do with you?

Because Jack tricked me.

I told him where Tasha is,
and he's going to k*ll her,

and that's before he finds out

that his daughter
is still alive.

So I have to get to
them before they do.

This is Tasha's
problem, not yours.

I'm culpable!
Can't you see that?

- For what?
- I don't know, kidnap.

I don't know the f*cking law.

All I know is I don't
want to go to prison.

You won't. I won't
let that happen, Jen.

I don't want her blood
on my conscience.

It won't be on yours.
It will be on Jack's.

I can't live with that.

Connor, you asked for the truth.

OK, and what are
you even gonna do

when you get there, Jen?

Help them... Help
them get away. I...

This is madness. Please
do not do this, Jen.

I'm sorry. I am sorry.

I love you.
- Do you?

You know, Jack will
always win, Jen.

Not because he's smarter or
any sort of master manipulator.

It's because you let him.

You were right about Jen.

Cyprus.

No, now.
- What are you doing?

Where are you going? Jack?

Jack!

Tasha.

{\an8}What? Look, you're not gonna
do anything stupid, are you?

{\an8}No. I'm going to do exactly
what I need to do, all right?

{\an8}And you, for once in your life,

{\an8}are gonna keep your
f*cking mouth shut.

SHE EXHALES SHARPLY

I'm not stealing. I'm not.

He's coming for me.

You're right. I
can't keep running.

I wanna get a job, and
I want to get a home,

and I want to bring
Lucy to the beach

and have her swim in
the sea every day.

But I need to be able
to protect myself.

I need to be ready.

So I need you to show me
how to use this thing.

Please.
