[TENSE MUSIC]
HARRISON: [VO] 'Nina Dragus.'

[g*nshots]
'She was caught with a firearm.'

Pretty young girl, your daughter.

Get Nina out.
And she will handle the rest.

AMBER: I need to get
this man back to London.
And to get back to my daughter.

If something feels off,
anything at all, don't hesitate.

TIBOR: I never had a son.
I needed you to trust me.

Was mummy a serial k*ller?
This is fun.

OLLY: Tibor sent us.
We're here to see Sebastian.

'Sorry, how do you know him?'
CARLA: 'We go way back.

But I haven't seen him in years.'
[g*nshots]

Come on!
Sebastian...

You found him then.
Tibor and I k*lled him, together.

Give me the address
of the safe house first.

When was his last insulin shot?

Look, Amber,
you need to listen to me.

That old woman, she's not well.
She took Mia.

And I... I don't know
if she's lonely,

or... or what it is, but...
but she nearly didn't give her back.

And "Sebastian." Do you remember
the code word "Sebastian"?

If you wanna meet Sebastian,
you can't

cos he's in a f*cking urn
on the mantelpiece.

Love, they k*lled him together.

Tibor's her son.

Say something, please.

[SIGHS]

Are you OK?
Yeah.

Baby OK?
Yeah, she's sleeping.

[EXHALES]

We should leave.

Listen to me.

If the three of us leave
right now... without him...

our lives will still be in danger.
No, no, no. They're in danger here.

She has a f*cking shotgun-
No, if she was going to k*ll you,
you'd be dead already.

Why would you say
something like that?

Sorry...

Amber,
when you left home three days ago...

...there was nothing more important
to you than the three of us together.
Nothing has changed.

So why're you putting this guy first?
I would never do that.

No, you're doing...
[MIA WHINES SOFTLY]

...you're doing it right now.

Olly... everything in my body...

is telling me
to just take you and Mia and run.

But we can't.
Then, don't fight it. I don't...

I don't understand.

I've been face-to-face
with these people.

Hey, and I have seen them...

[WELLING UP, FULL OF PAIN]
...I've seen...

[SOLEMN MUSIC]

They're never going to stop
unless I get him to court.

This is Olly. Amber's husband.

Olly.

WOMAN: Olly's phone is back up.

'Sorry, what was that.'
It's nothing.

Thank God. I was worried.
Are you OK? How's Mia?

She's fine, um... for now.

But... listen,
Amber and I are in danger.

We're getting a signal,
but there's interference.
Is Amber with you?

Where are you?
'We're with Tibor's mother.'

Is Tibor Stone there?
'Yes.'

Locking GPS markers.
[COMPUTER BLEEPING]

Olly, listen to me.
Pegasus could be tracking you.

'We need your address now.
Then, you need to pull
the SIM from the phone.'

Another 30 seconds,
- and we'll have him.
- Olly?!

[SUSPENSEFUL, PULSATING MUSIC]

Locating the cell site now.

'Olly!'

It's GL3 8XY.

Yeah. Got it. Now, pull the SIM.

Do it now. We're coming.
'Thank you. Thank you.'

Do we have him?
The SIM's been deactivated.

Fifteen-mile radius.
Half of Gloucestershire.

Impossible to search.

But I need to update Campbell. Stay
on it in case he comes back online.

MAN: [ON PHONE] 'Fire away.'

Who is this? Where's Miles?

You will be dealing with me
from now on.

[SOFT, UNEASY TONES]
'Tell me you found Stone.'

Todd and her family, too.
We just had confirmation.

Perfect.
Well, we'll take it from here.

What's the post code?

[PENSIVE, TICKING MUSIC]

'Will?

Give it to me.'

[CUTLERY CLACKING SOFTLY]

[SIGHS SOFTLY]

TIBOR: You seem anxious, Olly.

CARLA: We had a disagreement.

He thinks I took his car keys.
But I didn't.

Right. Sure.

If she says
she didn't take your keys,

she didn't take your keys.
AMBER: Don't.

What?

Don't!

So Etienne is your real name?

Olly told me about your father.
The ashes in the urn.

Sebastian.
Amber, what are you doing?

She's been trying to crack me the
whole time we've been on the road.

She's exhausting.

But you'd know that.
You're married to her.

Is it true?

You two k*lled him together.

How old were you?

Six. She held him down.
I slit his throat.

My husband used to beat us.

I knew one day he'd k*ll us
if we didn't do it to him first.

Etienne understood that.

Even as a boy.

No. He wasn't old enough to make
that kind of decision.

"Give me the first six years
of a child's life,

and you can keep the rest."

What does that mean?
It's a Kipling quote.

As in Rudyard.
Yes, I know -

the Jungle Book guy -
but what does it mean?

The early years
of a child's life are

the most formative
in shaping their character.

These foundational experiences have
a profound and lasting impact.

Oh, so then,
you know what he's done?

You know how many people
he's k*lled?

I'm sure every single
one of them deserved it.

Just like his father.

Etienne bought me this house.

So I'd be safe. Hidden.

And he'd know where to find me.

But he never comes. [SPEAKS FRENCH]

f*cking gratitude?
I made you a survivor.

That's what it takes
to live in this world.

By the time I was sixteen...

I'd k*lled three men.

THAT'S what you made me.

You see... you were right about me.

And what about you, Amber? Hm?
[TENSE BUT INQUISITIVE MUSIC]

My guess was that her father
had done some serious time.

You must know.

Her black-and-white view of the
world has to come from somewhere.

I don't think it's anything
to do with her father.

Your mother then?

[EERIE, CHILLING TONES]

Do you see her?

Treat her with respect?

Are you close?
No, not really.

Was that always the case?

She let you down, didn't she?
That's enough.

You internalise that
much more personally as a woman.

You're probably terrified
of turning out just like her.

We're leaving.

[DOG BARKING OUTSIDE]

[TENSE MUSIC]
What is it?

It's alright. It's the NCU.

- What?
- I called O'Neill. We're gonna
get the f*ck out of here. We're safe.

Olly. Go and get Mia now.

Why? What-
Go and get Mia, now!
