01x05 - Episode 5

[bunniefuu]

Breathe.

I went through all the evidence,

everything we've got.

And?

I think they're cops.

It's our plan.

We call the shots.

I can't go back to Lucas.

You have to, Sophia.

It's the only way you're
gonna be safe.

It's just for a little while longer.

Maybe she's not being
so honest with you?

What do you mean?

What's going on?

Jogger found a body
in Victoria Park last night.

It's been connected to
Pascal Dubois.

How?

She's his nephew's girlfriend.

Sophia Wilson.

There's bruising around her neck.

You can see the hand marks.

She was k*lled
by a g*nsh*t to the chest.

The search team didn't find
her phone.

Whoever k*lled her must
have taken it.

Doesn't feel like a mugging.

Any witnesses?
Anyone see who k*lled her?

Nn.

You want to go talk to Dubois
and his nephew?

Ah, I need a coffee.

Jesus. Was it Dubois?

We have to assume it was.

Did Sophia tell him it was us
who stole his money?

I don't know.

He's gonna k*ll us.

You have to tell Dylan.

Why do I have to do it?

Cos we're about to interview Dubois.

What if he knows who you are?

I guess I'm about to find out.

Look, Dylan can't stay at his place.
It's not safe.

My brother's on holiday
with his family.

He can stay there.

We should be getting on a plane

before Dubois puts
a b*llet in our heads.

Message me your brother's address.
I'll get there when I can.

f*ck!

Bad news.

They were out of Danish.

What'd you get? Sausage rolls.

How do you go from Danish
to sausage rolls?

It's all pastry.
They're part of the same family.

They're not even distant cousins.

Well, it's like a sausage
impregnated a croissant.

That is disgustingly graphic.

I could have told you I knew
nothing about how Sophia died.

You would have known.

And then you would have hated me
for lying to you.

Sophia betrayed you.

She was cheating on you
with another man.

I know it is hard for you to accept.

You didn't have to k*ll her.

I had no intention of k*lling her.

I just wanted to scare her.

It will break my heart
if you cannot forgive me.

All I do is for you,
for your future.

INTERCOM RINGS

Hello?

This is Detective Bella Rogers.

I wanted to talk to you
about Sophia Wilson.

Top floor.

DOOR BUZZES

It's the police.

They know you are vulnerable.

They will test you.

You must keep your head.

DI Bella Rogers.
And this is DI Leo Jacobs.

Pascal Dubois.

We know who you are.

I'm sure you know many things.

Please.

I know this is hard for you, but
we need to ask you some questions.

Can you think of a reason why
someone would want to hurt Sophia?

No.

Had Sophia mentioned anyone
approaching her or following her?

Maybe someone sending her messages?
Anything like that?

Nothing.

She was a beautiful young woman.

That is reason enough for some men.

Where were you last night?

Just so we can eliminate
you from our enquiries.

I was at my hotel.

The Amesbury.

You're not staying here?

I was. And then I went to a hotel.

I came back to be here for
my nephew.

Any particular reason you left?

A good guest never
overstays their welcome.

Is that how Sophia felt about you?

She was like family to me.

I think my nephew has answered
enough of your questions.

Can you make a list

of Sophia's friends, with their
phone numbers if you have them?

So, there's our k*ller.

We need to check his alibi.

Why would he k*ll his nephew's
girlfriend?

Well, what if Sophia knew
about the money in the Range Rover?

You really see her getting mixed
up in something like that?

Maybe not directly.

But she could've overheard Lucas
talking about it.

Maybe she told someone.

Like who? I don't know.

But Dubois finds out.
He kills her for it.

We should ask Sophia's friends
if she knew any cops.

We have zero
evidence for your theory.

Yeah, that's what
they said to Einstein.

Did they?

I don't know. I'm not a scientist.

We should really be asking Sophia's
friends if she knew any criminals.

Right, in this instance, I think
it's the same thing.

Do you wanna play poker?

What are you talking about?

Poker. Do you wanna play?

Listen, I'm not a grief therapist.

I don't know what I'm
supposed to say.

I'm crap at this stuff.

That's why me wife left me -
dead inside, apparently.

Poker's all I've got.

You wanna play?

I don't know the rules.

It's all right. I'll teach you.

It's easy.

DISTORTED: You get two cards, face
down. They're your hole cards.

Only you can see them.

These are the community cards.

And the idea is to
use your hole cards

and these to make the best
five-card hand.

Did anyone see you?

It was dark. I don't think so.

Forensics might be a problem.

The g*n is in the river.

I burnt the clothes I was wearing.

I scrubbed myself
until my skin hurt.

Do you think Lucas could have
been in on it with her?

When I told him Sophia is
involved in stealing my money,

he didn't believe it.

I know him.

I would have known if he was lying.

You k*lled his girlfriend.

I'm exposed here.

I'm not going to prison,
not for you, not for anyone.

You shouldn't worry yourself.

I'll make sure it never comes
to that.

Sophia had two phones.

I need to know who she was
messaging.

I'll get them unlocked.

There is something else?

You got plans?

Watch some TV,
eat some ultra-processed food.

Where's Jamie?

Jamie's on his way out.

Mm, yeah.

I have to wait until he's
buried his mum first, though.

Don't ask.

I can't say I'm totally shocked.

You can do better.

These stab vests really
crush your boobs.

Hey!

Hey, I'm good.

Look, I need a favour.

I need a list of the officers
who were off work yesterday

and today.

I know, I know what I'm asking,
but it's important.

Just do this one thing for me?

Thank you.

Dylan?

DYLAN?

CAR ENGINE ROARS

f*ck!

Hello.

How's he doing?

He's taken me g*n and the car.
He's gone.

He's going after Dubois.

CAR ALARM BLARES

Get the f*ck off me!

I'm going k*ll him! Go, go, go.

POLICE SIREN WAILS

You said Sophia should go
back to him.

I know.

I'm sorry, Dylan.

I thought it was
the right thing to do.

I guess we're both gonna have to
live with that.

Did he get Dubois?

Let's just take the money and go.

I can't.

Why not? Is it because of Alfie...

or Bella?

You're no use to either of them
if you're dead.

My brother likes sh*t beer, sorry.

Is there anything to connect you
to Sophia?

Anything we're going to find?

I'm a member of the gym
where she worked.

We are beyond f*cked!

Anyone see you at the gym together?

Maybe.

We didn't talk to each other when
I was there after we hooked up.

What about her phone? I didn't
message on her regular phone.

She had a burner.

No phones were logged as evidence.

Dubois probably took them.

Did you use our names?

No, we were careful.

There's nothing on her phones
that can identify us?

I don't remember every message,
do I? Well, think,

because this is kind of
very f*cking important!

All I can think about is how
we got Sophia k*lled!

You're not putting this on me!
You and Sophia brought this to us!

Is this, is this our fault?

No-one forced her to rob her
boyfriend's psychopathic uncle.

You're such a f*cking prick
sometimes.

I am aware, but at least
I'm an honest prick!

f*ck you!
How is this helping?!

This is beyond bullshit!

What about gifts?

Did you give her any presents?

Anything that can link you
to Sophia?

She was afraid Lucas might
find something.

Did you see her?

Yeah.

Did they hurt her?

No.

She looked peaceful.

I need you to watch Dubois.

This whole thing's about to go
t*ts up. Yeah, we can fix it.

There's too many loose ends.

I'm out.

What do you mean? I mean, I'll take
my third of the money and go.

Keeping Bella off our arses
is a full-time job.

There's Dylan, Dubois.
I can't do this on my own.

Come on, we're almost over the line.

The line keeps moving!

Listen, I don't feel good about
leaving you in the sh*t,

but I feel even worse about being
ex*cuted or going to prison.

You wanted in!

The ship's going down! We're up
to our bollocks in icy water!

It's every man for himself.

BOTTLE SHATTERS

This neighbourhood's gone to sh*t.

Are you awake?

Yeah.

Every time I shut my eyes,
I see her.

She was everything.

I know you don't want to...

you need to go back to work.

I can't.

If Bella thinks Sophia was
seeing a cop,

she might look into who took time
off after Sophia was m*rder*d.

If I could do anything to change
what happened, I would...

you know that.

I need this for Alfie.

OK.

You're my favourite.

I can smell tomorrow.

It smells like toast.

It's one of the cuddly toys.

Oh, Jesus.

There is a tiny elephant
living in your sock drawer.

Let's cuddle until the stars come
out. Where are you, you prick?!

I'll keep the monsters away,
I promise.

You're my favourite.

I'll get it in the morning.

I wish we'd never done it.

Yeah.

You remember our first call
out together?

That nut job running through the
street market with a Samurai sword?

I remember your hand shaking so much
you could barely aim straight.

Afterwards, you told me


and having your partner's back even
when you're scared shitless.

I've thought about that a lot.

You manipulative prick.

You think you can change my mind
with your artisan coffee

and your poignant anecdotes?

f*ck you. I had to try.

You're a f*cking prick.

Does that mean you're staying? No.

It means you're a f*cking prick.

Where you going to go?

I think it's better
that you don't know.

You're like a hamster in a wheel,
aren't ya? Hamsters don't quit.

No. The wheel just spins
faster and faster

until they get thrown off and
break their furry little necks.

Anyone finds out I did this,
I lose my job.

No-one's going to find out.

Not even Leo.

I'm serious.

I won't tell a soul.

These are all the cops that were off
work at Westway and Franklin Street.

I'm perimenopausal.

Oh. I'm hot all the time,
I can't sleep,

my anxiety's off the charts.

Can you get some HRT?

If you want the good sh*t,
you have to go private.

We're saving for a new kitchen. Hmm.

Someone you know? Yeah.
Dylan Matthews.

What does HD mean?

It means he took a half-day.

Probably had a doctor's or
dentist's appointment.

I spoke to one of Sophia's friends.

She asked them to cover for her.

How do you mean? Sophia told Lucas
she was staying with this friend,

but she was with some guy.

Does the friend know who the guy is?

Well, it's got to be
one of our robbers, right?

Or she was just cheating on Lucas?

Cheating on Lucas with a guy
she told about the money

in the Range Rover,
who may or may not be a cop.

You need to start keeping some
clothes at Amy's.

Same outfit as yesterday. Hmm.

Standards are slipping.

It's all gone to sh*t.

Thank you.

We got the search warrant for
the gym where Sophia worked.

We should head over.

Er, yeah, I'll, I'll take my car.

Alfie's got an appointment
at the consultant.

I'll head off after.

Well, I can handle the gym.

No, no, I've got time.
Are you sure? Yes.

You just don't think something like
this

can happen to someone, you know.

Was Sophia in a relationship
with anyone?

Yeah, she had a boyfriend.

I mean, as well as her boyfriend.

Well, not that I know of.

I discourage the staff from having
relationships with the members.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen.
You put meat in front of a lion,

they're going to eat,
do you know what I mean?

This was Sophia's.

You got this? Yeah.

Can we get a copy
of the membership database?

Of course. This way.

If you've got a memory stick,
I can just drag and drop.

Do you mind if I do it?

Nothing more annoying than watching
someone else use a mouse.

HE LAUGHS Yeah, it's t*rture.

Well, let me know if you need
anything else.

Thanks.

Find anything?
Clothes, make-up, toiletries.

Get the membership list?

It felt weird going through
her locker.

One minute you're living your life,
making plans

and just like that,
the lights go out.

If you died tomorrow,
what's your biggest regret?

Go on.

I guess not having kids.

I just assumed I would, you know.

You?

All the wasted time.

Time thinking about sh*t that
just didn't matter.

Hours I've spent
looking at crap on my phone.

f*ck you, Mark Zuckerberg.

Say hi to Alfie for me.

KEY TURNS IN LOCK

KNOCKING

You OK?

All good, yeah, er...
Just a long day.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Do you fancy a drink?

Er... I can't. I've got,
I've got plans.

Oh, yeah? What's her name?

No, I've just, er,
I've got sh*t to do. Hmm.

Way to make a girl
feel special, huh?

Maybe, er... some other time?

Sure.

I should clock off. Hmm.

MUSIC: No Confusion

PHONE RINGS

Hey.

OK. All right, I'm coming.

How is she?

She's sedated.

Fractured cheek bone...

broken ribs.

She broke her hand trying to
fight them off.

Jesus.

Do we know who they are?

Two guys from Colebridge.

We got them on CCTV.

They spat at her as
she was walking by.

I'd always told her,
you can't let that sh*t go.

This isn't on you.

I used to tell her all these stories
about being a police officer.

Made it sound so exciting.

I just wanted her to think
I was cool.

She joined up because of me.
Bella.

Look at her face.

This is because of me.

It isn't.

SHE SOBS

Sorry.

Why are you apologising?

I feel like a d*ck.

You're not a d*ck.

Do you want to go get a drink
or something?

Yeah.

What do you want to do?

I want to find them and I want to
f*cking hurt them.

You don't have to come.

LIFT PINGS

Maybe they've gone to ground.

There!

There, there!

It's them.

DOORS LOCK

Wh-What are you doing?
This is a bad idea.

Unlock the door!
Bella.

Let me out! I'm not going to let you
piss your career away.

Unlock the f*cking doors! The moment
your baton hits their face,

you're going to wish you hadn't
done it. They'll get off

and you'll get kicked out, which
means no more job you love

that you're really f*cking good at!

And you'll wind up in some
shitty security job,

working the door at
a l*sbian nightclub.

And you're going to hate yourself.

And me cause I didn't stop you!

And I care about you too much
to let that happen!

l*sbian nightclub?
I was on a roll.

I spoke to forensics. They should
have everything back

on Sophia Wilson in the
next couple of days.

How are you doing? Yeah. I'm OK.

Don't think I've ever seen you cry.
Do we really have to do this?

You don't have to be embarrassed.

Well, would you be embarrassed
if you cried in front of me?

And if you say, it's different
for men, I'll break your kneecaps.

I like to think I'd be able to
cry in front of you.

Hmm, feel free, then we're even.

You are so afraid of people seeing
who you really are.

You're talking so much sh*t right
now. You are terrified.

Like you tell me everything that's
going on with you, hmm?

What, you don't have any secrets?

Exactly.

What, there's a bin right there.

Last night...

thanks for stopping me
from doing something stupid.

Well, you'd do the same for me.

What are you ever going to do?
You're a boy scout.

You pick up other people's
litter, for Christ's sake.

I went through the messages.
There's no names or addresses.

There's a lot of references to
beansprouts.

I'm guessing that's
code for the money.

There must be something to
identify him?

What is it?

There's some words and phrases the
guy uses. I don't know.

He sounds like one of my lot.

I think he might be
a police officer.

SIRENS BLARE

Hey. What's going on?
There's an ambulance outside.

Guy in the next room died.

How?

Skydiving accident.

He got an infection.

Lungs filled up with liquid
and he... drowned.

Got your scratchies.

Well, get scratching, b*tch.

Hey.

Hi.

How's Scarlett?

She's pretty banged up.

When her Sergeant called me,

I thought he was going to tell me
she was dead.

Well, I'm glad she's OK.

Thanks.

Well, erm, tell her I said hi, yeah?

C'mon, you beautiful b*tch!

What? f*cked by a melon.
