01x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

Finn's been kidnapped.

Well, if you want money quick,
you need a g*n

and you need to hit up
as many tills as possible.

Unless it's an inside job.

You can't honestly think you'll
get away with robbing the bank.

I'm not saying it's a perfect plan,
but it's all I've got.

I know where Finn is.

g*nsh*t
Finn!

It's not worth it any more.

All this for 25 grand.

Well, we-we'll make it 100.

'You can't do this without me.'

It's not just that.

It's my mum. I'm desperate, Rowan.

We've got tonight to get this right.

That lady, Rowan Taylor,

she used to round with Patrick Reed.

He's got a record for armed robbery.

'Let's go pay her a visit.'

Are they here for us?

Why are the police
outside your flat?

I don't know why they're outside.

You better not
be playing games with me.

PATRICK: Rowan.

Rowan, did you hear me?

They're at the front as well.

Do you think
they've found Conor's body?

I-I don't know, but I can't
let the police see me here.

Don't you think I know that?

They can't see any of this.

Varisha,
start taking that stuff down.

Look, you go and hide
in the bathroom. Just go.

Don't let them in, Rowan.

Dad, you can't be seen here either.
Come on, let's go.

Hurry, Varisha.
All of it, off the walls.

KNOCKING AT DOOR

Miss Taylor? Open up.

KNOCKING CONTINUES

Hello, Miss Taylor.

Hiya.

I just had a few follow-up questions
about the robbery,

if you don't mind.

W-Well, I think I told you
everything I remembered yesterday.

I don't think I can help any more.

Unfortunately, there's something
that doesn't quite fall into place.

You see, we just got
the CCTV footage today...

..and it's provided
an interesting lead.

Right, well, now's not a great time.

It's just I've, erm...
I've got company.

It won't take long.

Er, yeah, OK. Very well.
Thank you.

If it's OK with you,
can we do it inside?

Well, I'd prefer not to.
It's just, erm...

It's just, the place is a mess
and I wasn't expecting visitors.

Oh.

I thought you said you had company.

Er...

y-yeah.
Erm, well, you know, don't judge me.

The, er... The cleaner's on holiday.

Oh, sorry.

Er, this is my friend Varisha.
Varisha, this is Officer...

Detective Simmons.

SHE MOUTHS

Can I ask you if you know a man
by the name of Patrick Reed?

Patrick Reed? Er...

Yeah, I used to know a guy
with that name when I was a kid.

Seen him lately?

Miss Taylor?
Er, sorry. Yeah, no, erm...

D'you know,
I've not seen him for over 20 years.

I see.

Sir.
Yeah?

I think this is the lad
that fled with the cash

when we arrested Conor Palmer.

Is this your son in the picture?

Er, yeah. Why?

Is he friendly
with a boy called Conor Palmer? No.

No. Well, I mean,
they used to play together as kids,

but I banned Finn from seeing him
ages ago.

Is Finn here now?
Can I speak with him?

Er, no, no.
He's staying at a mate's.

OK, well, we'll just
check his bedroom, then.

Er, yeah, yeah. Er, it's just...

Er, yeah, yeah.

Miss Taylor...

a young man fled the scene
of a drug bust with a bag of money.

PC Evans says he looked
just like your son.

Well, my son doesn't hang around
with drug dealers - he's a good lad.

OK.
DOOR HANDLE RATTLES

If you say so.

KNOCK AT DOOR
Let me in.

Is he in there? Door's locked -
there's someone inside.

Open up in there.

Miss Taylor, tell your son
to open the door right now.

TOILET FLUSHES
MAL: Do you mind?

Who are you?

Who am I? I'm Rowan's father.

Who the hell are you?

Of course.

Malcolm Taylor.

I read up on you as well.

Fraud, was it?
Nearly did some jail time?

Yeah, that was a long time ago.

Between her ex-boyfriend and her
father, it's a wonder she...

That's quite enough now,
thank you, Detective.

I'll walk you back to your car.

The same g*ng
that robbed the pawnshop

have been linked
to a number of other robberies.

A young lady
was nearly k*lled in one.

These are dangerous people.

You seem like a good person.

If you've been dragged
into something...

..just tell me.

I have no idea what you're
talking about, I'm sorry.

After the robbery, me and Patrick

are gonna be the first ones
they suspect.

Right, so is this the part
where you back out, is it, Dad?

No.

No. My only concern
is that it'll come back on you.

SHE SCOFFS SOFTLY
Right.

Well, you don't worry about me, eh?
Cos I've got it covered.

DOOR OPENS

PATRICK: The van drivers can only
get access through the garage.

Hang on.

OK, right,
these need to be destroyed.

Dad, when you've got a minute,
can you burn these?

Row...
Yeah?

The police know about Finn now.

I think they know
way more than they're saying.

They will be watching you.
No, they don't know anything.

They've got nothing on him,
not really.

We need to get Finn back.

D'you know, I have to...
I have to go check and on my mum.

Varisha, it's gonna be OK.

It's gonna be OK.

She's not gonna come back.
Yes, she is.

Well, it's your number one asset and
you're just gonna let her walk out?

Oh, she's not an asset,
she's my friend.

Er, did a woman nearly get k*lled

during one of your robberies?

What are you talking about?

Who said that, the copper?

God, is everyone just expendable
to you?

HE SCOFFS

Well, you walked out on ME,
remember?

What?

It was an incident.

It was an accident.

And it wasn't me.
It was one of the other lads.

I-I-I tried to step in...

You were saying the same thing
20 years ago.

Why is it never your fault, Patrick?

That's not fair.

Why are you really here?

Because I wanna help you.

I wanna help get your son back.
I wanna be there for you.

If the police had found you today...

But they didn't. But if they did...
They didn't. If they did...

this robbery would now
be impossible.

And my son... Finn would...

SHE SIGHS

You need to leave now.

No.
Yeah. No.

You can't...

Are you being serious?
Yeah.

All right.

But if I walk out that door...

I won't be coming back.

OK.

You're unbelievable, Rowan.

Thanks again (!)

Oh, and good luck
getting your son back.

DOOR SLAMS

CLICKING
MAL: Come on, you b*stard. Light!

f*ck's sake!
ROWAN SIGHS

DOOR OPENS

I thought you were
checking on your mum.

I'm not cut out for this.

It's just I need you.

Not just for access -

it's just you're the only person
I can rely on.

I know, but I just can't do it.
PHONE RINGS

I'm sorry. I...
Hello?

Hello, Miss Taylor.

The police.

What did they want?
'They, er...'

They came about a robbery
I witnessed.

What robbery?

'The one that happened
when I was trying to sell'

my dead mother's engagement ring
to get my son back.

Kids, eh?

They're so precious.

Always worrying
that they're gonna be OK.

I swear to God, if you touch him...

That's why I never had any myself.

'I hope you pull off this robbery,'

or you won't have any either.

'You just leave him...'
PHONE BLEEPS

Hello?

SHE MOUTHS

Thank you.

Oh, God. What now?

ALARM BLEEPS

sh*t! Dad...

Dad!

SHE COUGHS

Dad!

I couldn't get it to burn...

so I shook some white spirit on it
to help it along.

Bloody thing blew up in me face.

Come on, you...

HE GRUNTS

ALARM STOPS

I'm sorry, love.

What a bloody idiot!

Should have known
that would happen.

Look at the state of the place now,
full of bloody smoke.

Oh!

That was stupid, an' all.

No.

We need to clear the bank.

So if the fire alarm goes off...

the security doors
automatically open...

..and everyone leaves.

Right?

GIGGLING: Right?!

We need to get
everything out of here.

Dad, could you find some of
those plans that didn't burn?

Hey, thanks.

Let's go.

No, listen, I'll just stay here,
'ey, out of the way?

Hey, Dad, you solved this.
I need you.

Where are we going?

Look, just give us a minute
with him, yeah?

Yeah, I know that.

KNOCK AT DOOR

I'll call you back.

How many times are we gonna do this,
Rowan?

Look, I'm sorry about earlier. I...

Do you know why I really wanted
to help you?

Remember when I got taken away to
that detention centre in Jobstown?

Yeah, course.

I hated every minute of it in there.

But every day at four o'clock,

I used to come and stand
in that same spot

where I could see you
from the canteen window.

You'd wave over.

I'd cycle there
immediately after school.

I would never have gotten
through that if it wasn't for you.

And then when I got out,
you were the only reason

I got my life back together.

Yeah, for a while.

And then when you left me,
well, I... I fell apart.

And I don't think
I've ever really gotten over it.

Now you turn up and you say...

you need me.

No, I do need you. I...

Yeah?

And what happens to us
after all this?

I... I mean, maybe if you
straighten yourself out, I...

Cos a life of crime
is not for you, right?

No.

Yet here I am.

You wanna come back in me g*ng?

HE SIGHS WEARILY

Well, like I said,

watching you rob a bank...
How can I miss that?

Right, so we need Powell
to be verified by Trevor on camera

and to open the vault
with the key.

But obviously, he can't be there
when we take the money,

so we need him out
as quickly as possible.

What about the fail-safe code?

Cos then we could bypass Powell...

Trevor would never give us that.

And it would set off an alarm.

Mm. Yeah. Yeah.

Right, here.

Yeah, sometimes it gets stuck.
It's just an old vault.

We need the CCTV disabled
after the vault's been opened.

But you can do that, right?

I mean,
you know your way around electrics.

Jesus! I mean...

Well, I do, but...

this is a bank we're talking about.

Probably got a whole substation
for electrics.

Security cameras are usually
powered by an external feed.

So if I can get into the substation,

I should be able to figure out
what needs to get cut.

You need to find
the transmission instructions.

Yeah, I've seen those.

Trevor keeps all them in his office.
Mm.

Dad, are you listening?

Yeah. We need Powell out the way
as soon as possible.

I've got it.

Right, listen, everyone.
Let's go over this one more time.

Varisha will have the time lock set
to be ready at 10:15.

You need to be in place to cut
the CCTV before ten past ten.

MAL SNORES

Dad!
Yeah, listening.

We'll give you ID and access
to the secure part of the bank.

You need to make your way
to the first floor,

near the stockroom, where inside
there is a smoke detector.

But more importantly,
there are no security cameras.

Varisha, you're gonna be
with Powell at the vault.

He IDs himself and you open it.

10:15, vault open.

Dad?
Er...

smoke sets off the fire alarm.

Good. We need enough smoke
to set the fire alarm off,

but little enough so there's
no evidence to what started it.

That's at precisely
10:15 and 30 seconds.

Patrick.

Cable cut?
Yes.

Vault's open,
fire alarm's going off.

The security guards
evacuate the building.

You need to make sure that vault
gets jammed so it doesn't lock.

If Powell thinks there is a fire,
he will be the first one out.

It's every man for himself
as far as he's concerned.

Once those cameras are down,

you all need to leave the building
as soon as possible

and then I make my way to the vault.

Any questions?

All right,
don't use your own phones tomorrow.

We don't want anything traceable.

The other numbers are saved,
so we create a message chain.

Great. OK, well,
let's go home and get some rest, eh?

Rowan.

I've got something of yours.

Oh, my God. How did you...

It wasn't easy.

You know, there was a time
when maybe...

Yeah, I know.

Another lifetime, eh? Night.

'Dad, you'll need
blue cleaner's overalls.

'Varisha will meet you outside
the bank at 10am with your pass.

'Don't be late.
And don't forget the smoke.'

How much smoke comes out
of one of them, mate?

Those are phosphorus, mate.
Military grade, I'd say.

Yeah, don't worry,
I haven't got time. Just, er...

get us three of those, will you?

And the...
Right.

..overalls and the cap.
Righto, mate.

'I'll sneak Patrick
into the car park

'and keep a watch
for when Powell arrives.'

Right, the substation's behind those
doors at the top of the stairs.

OK.
Good luck.

Hello?

You're supposed

Oh, sorry. Erm... it's my first day.

You have done
the induction programme, right?

Er..

Don't you normally
keep your supplies inside?

Oh, I don't know, mate.

The agency just give me these
to bring in.

I guess they must be running low.

I see.

Have you got your security pass?

Security pass?

Yes. Yes, I have, actually.

Yeah, I have. Erm...

Hi, Jennifer. I've just
got to get a... a thingy.

Oh, this. Forgot one!

Yay!

The agency gave me one.

It's here somewhere!

CLOCK TICKS

Looking at the new rota,

just to get the turnover process
in motion,

from now on, I'll be doing
the deposits with Shane.

So if I could, er, get the key?

The key?

He'll need your... your copy.

Oh.

Shouldn't I see the week out
at least?

Well, I don't see the point.
Just give me the key and you...

can get back to the floor.

OK.

So, have you... Have you
updated his security access?

Because you've got the deposits
in... in, what, five minutes?

And I've already set the time lock,
so the vans will be here shortly.

Fine. Tomorrow, then.

Great. I'll see you at the vault.

HE CLEARS
HIS THROAT

Oh, f*ck me.

Trevor, I got you a coffee.

There you go.

Oh! Thank you. You're the best.

SHE CHUCKLES
Mm.

Here y'are, right?
Hm?

So, what's this guy up to here?
Who?

This one here.
He looks a bit shifty, doesn't he?

Er...

I'll keep an eye on him,
don't worry.

THEY CHUCKLE SOFTLY

Do you get much trouble down there?

Sometimes, yeah.
Mm.

We had a guy come in a while back,
looked like trouble.

Yeah, he was... just hanging around.

Real rough-looking bloke.

Didn't much look like he had
any money, let alone a bank account.

So, what happened?
Well, I went down there.

I walked up to him,
real casual, like.

They say to always keep your cool
so as to not put them on guard.

And I just asked him politely,
"Could I help you with anything?"

And kind of gauged his response.

He was just a homeless bloke.

Aw.
Not doing anything wrong, really.

Harmless. Just... coming in...

out the rain, trying to keep warm.

So, er, what did you do?

Well, I kicked him out, obviously.

You what?
HE CHUCKLES

I, er...

I gave him some money for a cuppa.

Oh!
And sent him on his way.

Aw!

Ooh, er, don't, er...

Don't tell Powell. It was a...

bit unprofessional.
Mate, I wouldn't breathe a word.

Right, I'd better get back.

Hey, thanks for the company.
Thanks for the cuppa.

See you soon.
All right, love.
