Scrublands (2023) s01e01 Episode Script
Episode 1
1
You force me past security,
you terrorise everything in your path.
If all goes well,
you don't kill anyone.
Now I know who I'm dealing with.
Where did that come from?
You don't know anything about me.
Dita and I have some news, Mum.
We're having a baby.
I guess this means
you'll be staying in the country.
You're going to run it all past me.
Every choice, every decision.
I'm not going to let you
screw this up.
'Early indications suggest
'that the number is going to be big,
'perhaps the biggest
cash robbery in UK history.'
SOBBING
Hey, it's all over.
I promise you it's all over.
Something went wrong.
Chris, he was hurt, shot.
How much did we get?
'Be patient.'
'Don't make any false moves.'
'It's not you they're interested in.
'It's the money.
'All that matters is the money.
'They'll watch you
for as long as it takes.
'Weeks,
'months
'years if they have to'.
BUZZER SOUNDS
'Eventually,
'someone will crack.
'They always do.'
How was she when you left her?
Uh
Yeah, good.
Good, went straight in to play.
Busy?
What did they smell like to you?
Who?
You know who.
I didn't notice.
It wasn't overpowering.
You know, the one who was here.
I think it was deodorant,
but not like yours.
It was more subtle.
Feminine.
You're saying it was a woman?
I don't know.
It's two weeks and they haven't
come up with anything.
If we can give them more details
Are they still out there?
The police?
Yeah, they're always out there.
Good.
Makes me feel safe.
They're not going anywhere
till they get their man.
It's OK?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's OK.
One day our little boy will see that
and he will know the real you.
So we're having a boy now?
Later.
I promise.
'The body is that
of a well-nourished adult female
'at the approximate age of 40'
DOORBELL RINGS
TV GOES SILEN
Hey. He's in there.
Welcome home, Mr Hero.
I will make more dinner?
No, I'm good.
Just carry on with your plans.
Thanks, babe.
Not supposed to mix.
Ah.
That little one
must be cooked by now.
It's two days over.
They wait weeks to slice them out.
Still, she's got you about now.
Yeah, I'm a real help
Have you spoken to him yet?
It's not that easy.
They're watching him all the time.
We knew that would happen.
Yeah, and he's supposed to make
contact, but so far he hasn't.
You worried? Feeling betrayed?
It's only been a fortnight.
But we got away with it.
Did we?
It wasn't meant to go like this.
This wasn't part of the plan.
Obviously, someone
had a different idea.
DOORBELL RINGS
Stay there, honey.
Gina.
I didn't know if I should come
or not. I just wanted to see if
Well, if there's anything I can do.
That's very kind of you. Come in.
Thanks.
Hi, sweetie.
Got you a mag.
Thank you.
Can I get you a drink? Tea?
Yeah. If it doesn't stop you doing
anything. No, it's fine. Thanks.
How are you, sweetie? You OK?
Yeah?
No John?
No, he's getting the car MOT'd.
Did they talk to you? The police?
Just Marcus.
They had him in a couple of times,
but there's nothing
he can tell them.
He wasn't on shift.
Where was he?
Sorry, that sounds
That didn't come out right.
No, it's fine.
He was with me at home arguing,
as half the neighbourhood
could testify.
KETTLE WHISTLES
That's
Shit.
Any progress?
Well, if there is,
they're not telling us.
I hope you don't mind,
but I had to give them your name.
They looked for fingerprints
and you'd been in the house, so
Kirsty, can you help us?
What have you got? Oh.
SHE SNIFFS
Did you put sugar in?
No.
Oh, hi.
How's the car?
Good. Yeah. Passed.
Well, I've realised
I'm parked in your space.
Oh, that's OK.
I just stopped in on my way home.
Wanted to see that you're all OK.
Was this his idea? It's mine.
Stupid enough to be one of his.
Where's the money? Safe.
Safe where?
When I'm ready to move,
I'll be in touch.
When's that? Next week? Next month?
If they arrest you, we're left
with nothing. I'm a suspect.
Do you really want to be seen
hassling me? By who?
They should be watching me.
Maybe you're in the clear.
No.
No, something's happened.
SHIRLEY BASSEY
Mum?
Mum! Mum!
Ah! Oh, baby! Stupid!
I'm sorry! I thought it was him.
Who? Your dad.
He was here. Look.
Look. Mum!
See. Look what he done!
He wasn't here. He wasn't here!
I saw him! It was him!
Dad's in prison.
I don't have the time or energy
for this right now, Mum.
Go on. Go back to her.
She has a name.
A funny name.
I can't even remember it!
SHE SOBS
Sit down.
I've got somewhere to be
but I'll come back after
and I'll straighten up. OK?
Please stay. Mum.
I can't.
I'm sorry. Now lie down.
I'll be back.
What type is it?
The loud type.
I mean the make.
It's a folding stock, pump action.
I have eight of them.
Can they be traced?
Do you even know what that means?
He's just being cautious.
No-one will leave one behind so it's
not something to worry about. Right?
Bullets? They're called shells.
Or cartridges.
Ooh, hark at Mr Gun here. My old man
used to take me to a rifle club.
Was a long time ago.
I don't have them here.
Didn't think you'd need to see them.
I want to try one.
Why?
I want to hear how it sounds,
see what kind of damage it makes.
Yeah, but the plan is not to use it.
Look, seeing a gun is scary.
I imagine hearing one go off
is probably worse.
We may have to use warning shots.
Yeah, let's get out in the woods
and shoot something. It'll be fun.
Now, um
I need something from you.
Go on.
I want my guys to look around
this place of yours. A tour.
No, impossible.
PHONE RINGS
Ah, sorry. You can show us
all the blueprints you want,
but if they don't see it for real,
my bet is that
they'll get very lost in there.
Why are you even considering it?
Of course we can't.
All right, we can. But just one.
I have to swing by Mum's on
the way back. 'How long will you be?'
I don't know. An hour?
'An hour?'
I'm sorry.
I don't have a choice.
'OK. Love you.'
I love you too, babe.
I'm back!
SHE CHOKES
CONVULSIVE GASPS
HE BREATHES DEEPLY
What else did they say? Nothing.
John wants to try the guns. Kalpesh
wants one of his men to see inside.
And what are you
supposed to be doing?
Waiting for orders, I suppose.
Are you getting pushed out of this?
No!
It was your idea in the first place.
Well, it was. Sort of.
Yeah, well,
don't let them take the piss.
See you tonight. We'll talk more.
There's nothing more to talk about!
I should go and check on Mum.
Why?
I said I'd call round, but I forgot.
Leave it until tomorrow.
Yeah, but what if she's
Drunk?
You need to take care of yourself.
Not her.
I haven't lost it, have I?
No, no, no. Don't fret.
I'm sure it's all backed up.
There! There, I saw it!
Got it.
Emergency over.
Coffee?
I'll make it.
What do you want?
Something to do.
I want to be involved.
You are involved.
I don't care if you're in charge,
I want an equal cut
and an equal say.
You're squeezing me out.
You're just being paranoid.
I'm not the only one saying it.
My lady thinks the same.
You told her?
What, everything?
She figured some of it out,
and I filled her in on the rest.
She's fine, we can trust her.
Oh, yeah? How can you be sure?
Because she loves me. And I'm
planning on keeping it that way.
You want a proper job?
Masks.
Masks, as in?
As in something to hide behind.
A dozen. All the same.
Can you sort that out for us?
Yeah. I can do that.
'Emergency Services?' Hello.
'Which service do you require?'
I want to report
a dead body, please.
I'll get the paperwork to you.
Thanks. I'll be in touch.
Doc's happy to sign off
on asphyxiation.
Thinks she passed a couple of
nights ago in her sleep.
She was a drinker. I've been out here
a couple of times this year.
Disturbances,
concerned neighbours
Concerned?
She doesn't open her curtains
for two days.
Not one of them
bothered to check on her.
Ronald Reagan?
Or Frankenstein? Ooh, budge up.
Whoa!
What are you doing?
It is dirty, it smells. Look,
the floor is good, I can paint it.
I don't care about the carpet,
I care about you.
Just do nothing right?
You leave it all to me.
We can make this nice, can't we?
We can do whatever we want.
But we don't have to do it
all today.
You're a good son.
CAR HORN
Why didn't you phone me, you prat?
Come on, give me a hand.
How did she go? Was it quick?
It was 30-odd years of hard drinking.
Went by real fast.
I'm sorry, mate.
I lost my dad a couple of years ago
and, yeah, it's shit.
Nice little gaff, though.
Not the worst part of town.
Hey, I know a guy
if you want it valued.
I think we'll end up staying here,
get rid of the flat.
Not long term, though.
I mean, who knows where we'll be,
what amazing things we might have.
Christ, don't you think about that,
the spending part?
Keeps me awake at night.
I'm dropping out.
The whole thing,
I just want out of it.
Are you serious?
It's a good idea,
it's a reasonable plan,
but I'm just not
I'm just not easy with it,
I never have been.
You're just having a wobble.
It's not a wobble.
I've got a girlfriend
that actually likes me.
Got a baby on the way.
The more real that feels,
the less I can do it.
Just take some time.
I don't need time.
I'm out, Marcus.
Do it or don't do it, I don't care,
but just not with me.
Come on, babe.
How's everything looking
on your end?
Yeah, good, nothing to stop us.
So, what do we kill?
You go first.
Is that good manners,
or something else?
Let's just say I'm not comfortable,
being defenceless in the woods
with an armed stranger.
I knew you'd think that.
We'll go together.
On three.
GUNS CLICKING
One, two, three
You're a security guard.
If you say so.
You need a uniform.
You don't provide one?
I'm sure we can sort something out.
Whatever.
I'm only going to be
here a day anyway.
Three days.
That's what I agreed with Kalpesh.
Day one you get shown around
and distracted by new faces.
By day two you realise
how boring the job is.
By day three you've figured out
the pay's barely enough to live on -
nobody quits after one day.
Bells start ringing round here
because of that.
He told me about you.
What did he say?
That you'd be like this.
Ah, the wife?
You start Wednesday.
COMPUTER GAME BLEEPING
DOOR OPENS
Hang on a sec, I'm just,
I'm nearly on level four
Where's Chris?
That's kind of why I called you.
He wants out.
Since when?
Since his dear old mum choked it.
He's got a house now and he thinks
he doesn't need much more.
And when were you
going to tell me this?
When I saw you outside of work.
Which I guess is now.
Look, it's not a problem.
We can still do this without him.
Oh, really? Really? You think?!
He knows everything!
He won't talk. He's a loyal bloke.
Yeah, only when he has
something to lose.
Whoa! Do you mind?!
I kind of own that chair.
This RUINS everything!
He's grieving.
He'll come back around.
I'll talk to him.
No, you have a habit
of making things worse.
I'll handle this.
DOOR BELL
My condolences.
Marcus tells me
you're having doubts.
Doubts?
No.
I'm pretty clear on the fact
that I'm not doing it.
I can't let you pull out, Chris.
What are you going to do about it?
OK, well
you stole from me.
You stole from your employer.
If you put the brakes on this,
I'll find a way for that to come
back and bite you on the arse.
Is that all you got? Hmm?
Is that it?!
Chris!
Cliche.
What about this one?
HE LAUGHS
Er, bit gay.
Go on then.
Scary.
Isn't that the point?
It's got detail.
The creases, the nose
If I was confronted by that
I'd remember it,
I'd be able to describe it.
It's just a mask. Exactly.
The more I concentrate on the mask,
the less I notice anything else.
What you do Thanks very much!
They can check this stuff,
can't they?
Online orders,
credit card payments?
Are we on the brink of being
very stupid here?
Well, not if we pay by cash.
Which means going into a shop.
And showing our faces.
There must be a bunch of places
that sell this exact same mask.
We just have to find out
who they supply to.
Spread it around.
It's not weird buying one mask -
why would anyone remember that?
Can you get some time off?
Right now I can get anything
I want from that place.
Maybe we should take
a little road trip.
No, no, and twice more, no.
You can get cover.
If you want to, you can do it.
It's not a question of wanting to.
Right, you're definitely saying no?
Yes.
I didn't want to have to do this, but
Actually, I'm lying,
I did want to do this.
Marcus!
Can I have three days off
next week, please?
I told him it was impossible.
And I doubted her.
Sorry, Boss,
I need to take a trip.
Things I need to sort out -
urgent things.
Well, um
I'm sure we can work around
your plans.
Thank you.
Call the agency, Sandra,
I'm sure we can work it some way.
Yes, we can,
but that's not the point.
I don't like it
when they do that to you, John,
I don't like people
walking all over you.
All I want is a happy environment.
You're the boss -
make them do
what you want them to do.
Chris!
You don't want to miss the bus.
What happened with the arm?
Cut it.
How's the girl, Dita?
She's good.
You can see the bump,
you can feel it move.
You looking after her properly?
I'm doing my best
You came all this way
to not look at me?!
I should've come sooner.
A week ago.
What's happened?
Mum
She she died.
I'm sorry, son.
For you.
I'm sorry for you.
She wasn't a perfect woman,
but she was always your mum.
She choked to death.
A lungful of her own vomit.
I could I could've helped her.
I could've stopped it.
You couldn't.
I was there.
I stood over her, I watched her die.
I didn't I didn't want
Swallow it.
Whatever you're about to tell me,
swallow it down and leave it there.
HE SNIFFS
Don't you cry.
Don't you sit there and cry.
I don't know what to do, Dad.
Then I'll tell you.
Protect yourself and your family.
That's the first rule
and the only rule.
No-one else matters.
BELL RINGS
Ready?
There you go. Thank you.
Do you want anything?
Water. I'm so thirsty.
Gina?
You need to see this.
The man was taken into
custody late last night
and it's understood detectives
have asked for extra time
to question him.
His identity hasn't been
released because police fear
that could jeopardise
their efforts to recover
the £172 million still missing.
Meanwhile, all British air and
seaports have been put on high alert
and the British authorities
are working closely with Interpol.
Come on.
Oh! Behave yourself, lad.
He's pretty self-sufficient
so just pop in tomorrow night,
fill his bowl
and that should see him through.
We'll be back Sunday at the latest.
No problem.
And this is a romantic thing?
Yeah, could go that way,
if she plays her cards right.
Oh, yeah, sorry.
Here - for your trouble.
Oh, no, no, you don't pay me.
No, no, call it bus fare.
Thanks, honey.
See you soon, Gary.
See you later, Gazza.
Right, come on, you. Ta-ra.
Riaz?
Christopher?
Let's get you inside.
BUZZER
2-8-1-8, I should write that down.
No, you shouldn't.
Codes change every week or so.
Who chooses the numbers?
They're randomly generated.
Where's next?
6.2 miles, a shop called
Cobbled Lane.
Stick it in the Satnav, then.
Key in the second lock.
We'll turn them clockwise on three.
One, two, three.
HE LAUGHS
You are shitting me.
Blue cages - fifties,
red cages - twenties,
green cages - tens,
and the yellow cages are fives.
Ten yellow cages equal
one blue cage? Thereabouts.
It would make sense to grab
the blues first, and then
Quite a thinker, aren't you?
You taking the piss?
None of it's my business.
Tell me you're the guy.
I was the guy.
I'm not any more - I pulled out.
No.
You're the guy.
You're going to stay the guy.
Give it up, bitch!
Don't, you're creeping me out!
You never fantasised
about this shit?
What, rape from an ugly,
rubbery man? No!
I am having you,
so turn away or get involved.
Fine.
You want it that way
Come on then, Big Boy.
You look like your mum!
Ah!
I am going to buy you
the best car.
The most expensive dress,
new tits
What's wrong with my tits?
Nothing. Forget the tits.
I could buy all that for myself
if I was getting a cut.
I am helping, aren't I?
Well, you can have half
of what I get.
Well, is that fair?
I'm involved now.
Why shouldn't I get paid?
Nothing personal,
but can you sit somewhere else?
Don't make a scene, Christopher.
I'm not making a scene.
You're my only friend in here.
I've nothing in common
with the others.
You don't have
anything in common with me.
Well, if you bothered
to ask a few questions,
maybe I could prove that wrong.
For example, er
We're both expectant fathers.
Your lady's, what? Four months?
Yeah, I'm sure that's what I heard.
Mine's at six.
I worry about her, all the time.
Falling over,
tripping down the stairs
Has anyone showed you
the damaged note room yet?
I've been down here
150 times already
You're lucky that's my weak arm.
HE SPITS
Something you forgot to do, mate.
He has something
down his trousers, Dad.
Look, I'm sorry
I'll pay for it.
You think that's it? We just charge
people we catch? He didn't mean to.
What are you, his mother?
I'm his girlfriend.
He was having a joke.
What's funny about stealing from me?
No, not that kind of a joke.
It was a joke between us.
Here, look, I'm sorry.
I dared him, and it backfired.
So if anyone's to blame, it's me.
Please.
Can we just forget this whole thing?
Every time.
Every single time.
We got away with it, didn't we?
Night, Sandra.
Night.
COMPUTER PINGS
You OK?
Shut the door.
John?
HE PANTS
SHE MOANS
Slower.
Everything slower.
I'm serious about wanting a cut.
I'll talk to them.
When? When the time is right.
Which is not now.
Chris? Why don't you come through?
'So what is it you wanted
to talk to me about?'
I want to report a crime.
One you've witnessed
or one you've committed?
This one hasn't happened yet.
LULLABY TOY PLAYS
If you don't let her
fall asleep by herself,
how will she ever learn?
She's not ready.
I say she is.
I thought you had an alarm test.
Don't wait up.
Ah, I shouldn't.
Actually, why not?
Why didn't you tell me
about Christopher?
His mother died.
He has to deal with that,
and then he'll come back on board.
What if he doesn't?
I'm not pulling out of this.
I know when, and I know how.
I need something
more reassuring than that.
Risks are exciting,
but I have to know I'm going to win.
Chris is part of the plan.
If he co-operates,
he shares the spoils.
If he doesn't
he becomes a victim.
I didn't get into this
to take a life.
You don't have to. He's my problem.
You're capable of that?
I can do anything.
Give me the money!
HE LAUGHS
Aren't they great? I got
a dozen of them, like you asked.
Who's your friend?
How are you, Chris?
A lot better now, thanks, boss.
How's the hand?
Back to full strength.
BABY CRIES
'The man being questioned
is 30-year-old Riaz Kachelo,
'a call centre manager
from the Bristol area.
'Charges are expected in
this multi-million pound robbery
'some time tomorrow.
'It's believed to be the first major
breakthrough in this enquiry
'and in the hunt
for the hidden millions.
'Speaking at a press conference today
'detectives announced
more arrests are imminent
'and that they wouldn't compromise
in their efforts to resolve
'what they described
as this horrible and vicious crime.'
What if he calls?
Then I'll be here when he does.
This isn't the plan.
Hey, listen, the plan's gone.
There's no point in
both of us staying here.
I don't want to leave you.
Nothing's going to happen to me.
I'm lucky, remember?
There's only one toothpaste
so you'll have to pick
another one up on the way.
On the way where?
Wherever you're running to.
SHE ZIPS UP THE SUITCASE
I don't want her
to see them take you.
I need to tell you why No.
No. No. Whatever's about
to come out of your mouth,
you do not say you did this for us!
I wasn't going to.
I was just going to tell you
that I'm sorry.
Not for what I did,
but that I couldn't
keep you out of it.
Was it worth it?
Whatever you got,
was it worth losing this?
I always knew it wouldn't be.
But that wasn't
the point of doing it.
No, don't. Don't.
Please don't. Just leave.
I will come back.
OK? For both of you.
And what if we've moved on?
I'll find you.
I'll win you back.
I can do that.
PHONE RINGS
Hello?
'The police think they've got their
man. They've stopped watching us.'
'Now's our chance to move.'
HE WINCES
Did you tell him I'm coming?
No.
Good.
'Police have now confirmed
the arrest of a second man
'in connection with
last month's cash robbery.'
It's John. We got a location.
They'll be coming for all of us.
Everything you are standing on
we split down the middle.
They know about John.
They know about everything.
Marcus!
You force me past security,
you terrorise everything in your path.
If all goes well,
you don't kill anyone.
Now I know who I'm dealing with.
Where did that come from?
You don't know anything about me.
Dita and I have some news, Mum.
We're having a baby.
I guess this means
you'll be staying in the country.
You're going to run it all past me.
Every choice, every decision.
I'm not going to let you
screw this up.
'Early indications suggest
'that the number is going to be big,
'perhaps the biggest
cash robbery in UK history.'
SOBBING
Hey, it's all over.
I promise you it's all over.
Something went wrong.
Chris, he was hurt, shot.
How much did we get?
'Be patient.'
'Don't make any false moves.'
'It's not you they're interested in.
'It's the money.
'All that matters is the money.
'They'll watch you
for as long as it takes.
'Weeks,
'months
'years if they have to'.
BUZZER SOUNDS
'Eventually,
'someone will crack.
'They always do.'
How was she when you left her?
Uh
Yeah, good.
Good, went straight in to play.
Busy?
What did they smell like to you?
Who?
You know who.
I didn't notice.
It wasn't overpowering.
You know, the one who was here.
I think it was deodorant,
but not like yours.
It was more subtle.
Feminine.
You're saying it was a woman?
I don't know.
It's two weeks and they haven't
come up with anything.
If we can give them more details
Are they still out there?
The police?
Yeah, they're always out there.
Good.
Makes me feel safe.
They're not going anywhere
till they get their man.
It's OK?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's OK.
One day our little boy will see that
and he will know the real you.
So we're having a boy now?
Later.
I promise.
'The body is that
of a well-nourished adult female
'at the approximate age of 40'
DOORBELL RINGS
TV GOES SILEN
Hey. He's in there.
Welcome home, Mr Hero.
I will make more dinner?
No, I'm good.
Just carry on with your plans.
Thanks, babe.
Not supposed to mix.
Ah.
That little one
must be cooked by now.
It's two days over.
They wait weeks to slice them out.
Still, she's got you about now.
Yeah, I'm a real help
Have you spoken to him yet?
It's not that easy.
They're watching him all the time.
We knew that would happen.
Yeah, and he's supposed to make
contact, but so far he hasn't.
You worried? Feeling betrayed?
It's only been a fortnight.
But we got away with it.
Did we?
It wasn't meant to go like this.
This wasn't part of the plan.
Obviously, someone
had a different idea.
DOORBELL RINGS
Stay there, honey.
Gina.
I didn't know if I should come
or not. I just wanted to see if
Well, if there's anything I can do.
That's very kind of you. Come in.
Thanks.
Hi, sweetie.
Got you a mag.
Thank you.
Can I get you a drink? Tea?
Yeah. If it doesn't stop you doing
anything. No, it's fine. Thanks.
How are you, sweetie? You OK?
Yeah?
No John?
No, he's getting the car MOT'd.
Did they talk to you? The police?
Just Marcus.
They had him in a couple of times,
but there's nothing
he can tell them.
He wasn't on shift.
Where was he?
Sorry, that sounds
That didn't come out right.
No, it's fine.
He was with me at home arguing,
as half the neighbourhood
could testify.
KETTLE WHISTLES
That's
Shit.
Any progress?
Well, if there is,
they're not telling us.
I hope you don't mind,
but I had to give them your name.
They looked for fingerprints
and you'd been in the house, so
Kirsty, can you help us?
What have you got? Oh.
SHE SNIFFS
Did you put sugar in?
No.
Oh, hi.
How's the car?
Good. Yeah. Passed.
Well, I've realised
I'm parked in your space.
Oh, that's OK.
I just stopped in on my way home.
Wanted to see that you're all OK.
Was this his idea? It's mine.
Stupid enough to be one of his.
Where's the money? Safe.
Safe where?
When I'm ready to move,
I'll be in touch.
When's that? Next week? Next month?
If they arrest you, we're left
with nothing. I'm a suspect.
Do you really want to be seen
hassling me? By who?
They should be watching me.
Maybe you're in the clear.
No.
No, something's happened.
SHIRLEY BASSEY
Mum?
Mum! Mum!
Ah! Oh, baby! Stupid!
I'm sorry! I thought it was him.
Who? Your dad.
He was here. Look.
Look. Mum!
See. Look what he done!
He wasn't here. He wasn't here!
I saw him! It was him!
Dad's in prison.
I don't have the time or energy
for this right now, Mum.
Go on. Go back to her.
She has a name.
A funny name.
I can't even remember it!
SHE SOBS
Sit down.
I've got somewhere to be
but I'll come back after
and I'll straighten up. OK?
Please stay. Mum.
I can't.
I'm sorry. Now lie down.
I'll be back.
What type is it?
The loud type.
I mean the make.
It's a folding stock, pump action.
I have eight of them.
Can they be traced?
Do you even know what that means?
He's just being cautious.
No-one will leave one behind so it's
not something to worry about. Right?
Bullets? They're called shells.
Or cartridges.
Ooh, hark at Mr Gun here. My old man
used to take me to a rifle club.
Was a long time ago.
I don't have them here.
Didn't think you'd need to see them.
I want to try one.
Why?
I want to hear how it sounds,
see what kind of damage it makes.
Yeah, but the plan is not to use it.
Look, seeing a gun is scary.
I imagine hearing one go off
is probably worse.
We may have to use warning shots.
Yeah, let's get out in the woods
and shoot something. It'll be fun.
Now, um
I need something from you.
Go on.
I want my guys to look around
this place of yours. A tour.
No, impossible.
PHONE RINGS
Ah, sorry. You can show us
all the blueprints you want,
but if they don't see it for real,
my bet is that
they'll get very lost in there.
Why are you even considering it?
Of course we can't.
All right, we can. But just one.
I have to swing by Mum's on
the way back. 'How long will you be?'
I don't know. An hour?
'An hour?'
I'm sorry.
I don't have a choice.
'OK. Love you.'
I love you too, babe.
I'm back!
SHE CHOKES
CONVULSIVE GASPS
HE BREATHES DEEPLY
What else did they say? Nothing.
John wants to try the guns. Kalpesh
wants one of his men to see inside.
And what are you
supposed to be doing?
Waiting for orders, I suppose.
Are you getting pushed out of this?
No!
It was your idea in the first place.
Well, it was. Sort of.
Yeah, well,
don't let them take the piss.
See you tonight. We'll talk more.
There's nothing more to talk about!
I should go and check on Mum.
Why?
I said I'd call round, but I forgot.
Leave it until tomorrow.
Yeah, but what if she's
Drunk?
You need to take care of yourself.
Not her.
I haven't lost it, have I?
No, no, no. Don't fret.
I'm sure it's all backed up.
There! There, I saw it!
Got it.
Emergency over.
Coffee?
I'll make it.
What do you want?
Something to do.
I want to be involved.
You are involved.
I don't care if you're in charge,
I want an equal cut
and an equal say.
You're squeezing me out.
You're just being paranoid.
I'm not the only one saying it.
My lady thinks the same.
You told her?
What, everything?
She figured some of it out,
and I filled her in on the rest.
She's fine, we can trust her.
Oh, yeah? How can you be sure?
Because she loves me. And I'm
planning on keeping it that way.
You want a proper job?
Masks.
Masks, as in?
As in something to hide behind.
A dozen. All the same.
Can you sort that out for us?
Yeah. I can do that.
'Emergency Services?' Hello.
'Which service do you require?'
I want to report
a dead body, please.
I'll get the paperwork to you.
Thanks. I'll be in touch.
Doc's happy to sign off
on asphyxiation.
Thinks she passed a couple of
nights ago in her sleep.
She was a drinker. I've been out here
a couple of times this year.
Disturbances,
concerned neighbours
Concerned?
She doesn't open her curtains
for two days.
Not one of them
bothered to check on her.
Ronald Reagan?
Or Frankenstein? Ooh, budge up.
Whoa!
What are you doing?
It is dirty, it smells. Look,
the floor is good, I can paint it.
I don't care about the carpet,
I care about you.
Just do nothing right?
You leave it all to me.
We can make this nice, can't we?
We can do whatever we want.
But we don't have to do it
all today.
You're a good son.
CAR HORN
Why didn't you phone me, you prat?
Come on, give me a hand.
How did she go? Was it quick?
It was 30-odd years of hard drinking.
Went by real fast.
I'm sorry, mate.
I lost my dad a couple of years ago
and, yeah, it's shit.
Nice little gaff, though.
Not the worst part of town.
Hey, I know a guy
if you want it valued.
I think we'll end up staying here,
get rid of the flat.
Not long term, though.
I mean, who knows where we'll be,
what amazing things we might have.
Christ, don't you think about that,
the spending part?
Keeps me awake at night.
I'm dropping out.
The whole thing,
I just want out of it.
Are you serious?
It's a good idea,
it's a reasonable plan,
but I'm just not
I'm just not easy with it,
I never have been.
You're just having a wobble.
It's not a wobble.
I've got a girlfriend
that actually likes me.
Got a baby on the way.
The more real that feels,
the less I can do it.
Just take some time.
I don't need time.
I'm out, Marcus.
Do it or don't do it, I don't care,
but just not with me.
Come on, babe.
How's everything looking
on your end?
Yeah, good, nothing to stop us.
So, what do we kill?
You go first.
Is that good manners,
or something else?
Let's just say I'm not comfortable,
being defenceless in the woods
with an armed stranger.
I knew you'd think that.
We'll go together.
On three.
GUNS CLICKING
One, two, three
You're a security guard.
If you say so.
You need a uniform.
You don't provide one?
I'm sure we can sort something out.
Whatever.
I'm only going to be
here a day anyway.
Three days.
That's what I agreed with Kalpesh.
Day one you get shown around
and distracted by new faces.
By day two you realise
how boring the job is.
By day three you've figured out
the pay's barely enough to live on -
nobody quits after one day.
Bells start ringing round here
because of that.
He told me about you.
What did he say?
That you'd be like this.
Ah, the wife?
You start Wednesday.
COMPUTER GAME BLEEPING
DOOR OPENS
Hang on a sec, I'm just,
I'm nearly on level four
Where's Chris?
That's kind of why I called you.
He wants out.
Since when?
Since his dear old mum choked it.
He's got a house now and he thinks
he doesn't need much more.
And when were you
going to tell me this?
When I saw you outside of work.
Which I guess is now.
Look, it's not a problem.
We can still do this without him.
Oh, really? Really? You think?!
He knows everything!
He won't talk. He's a loyal bloke.
Yeah, only when he has
something to lose.
Whoa! Do you mind?!
I kind of own that chair.
This RUINS everything!
He's grieving.
He'll come back around.
I'll talk to him.
No, you have a habit
of making things worse.
I'll handle this.
DOOR BELL
My condolences.
Marcus tells me
you're having doubts.
Doubts?
No.
I'm pretty clear on the fact
that I'm not doing it.
I can't let you pull out, Chris.
What are you going to do about it?
OK, well
you stole from me.
You stole from your employer.
If you put the brakes on this,
I'll find a way for that to come
back and bite you on the arse.
Is that all you got? Hmm?
Is that it?!
Chris!
Cliche.
What about this one?
HE LAUGHS
Er, bit gay.
Go on then.
Scary.
Isn't that the point?
It's got detail.
The creases, the nose
If I was confronted by that
I'd remember it,
I'd be able to describe it.
It's just a mask. Exactly.
The more I concentrate on the mask,
the less I notice anything else.
What you do Thanks very much!
They can check this stuff,
can't they?
Online orders,
credit card payments?
Are we on the brink of being
very stupid here?
Well, not if we pay by cash.
Which means going into a shop.
And showing our faces.
There must be a bunch of places
that sell this exact same mask.
We just have to find out
who they supply to.
Spread it around.
It's not weird buying one mask -
why would anyone remember that?
Can you get some time off?
Right now I can get anything
I want from that place.
Maybe we should take
a little road trip.
No, no, and twice more, no.
You can get cover.
If you want to, you can do it.
It's not a question of wanting to.
Right, you're definitely saying no?
Yes.
I didn't want to have to do this, but
Actually, I'm lying,
I did want to do this.
Marcus!
Can I have three days off
next week, please?
I told him it was impossible.
And I doubted her.
Sorry, Boss,
I need to take a trip.
Things I need to sort out -
urgent things.
Well, um
I'm sure we can work around
your plans.
Thank you.
Call the agency, Sandra,
I'm sure we can work it some way.
Yes, we can,
but that's not the point.
I don't like it
when they do that to you, John,
I don't like people
walking all over you.
All I want is a happy environment.
You're the boss -
make them do
what you want them to do.
Chris!
You don't want to miss the bus.
What happened with the arm?
Cut it.
How's the girl, Dita?
She's good.
You can see the bump,
you can feel it move.
You looking after her properly?
I'm doing my best
You came all this way
to not look at me?!
I should've come sooner.
A week ago.
What's happened?
Mum
She she died.
I'm sorry, son.
For you.
I'm sorry for you.
She wasn't a perfect woman,
but she was always your mum.
She choked to death.
A lungful of her own vomit.
I could I could've helped her.
I could've stopped it.
You couldn't.
I was there.
I stood over her, I watched her die.
I didn't I didn't want
Swallow it.
Whatever you're about to tell me,
swallow it down and leave it there.
HE SNIFFS
Don't you cry.
Don't you sit there and cry.
I don't know what to do, Dad.
Then I'll tell you.
Protect yourself and your family.
That's the first rule
and the only rule.
No-one else matters.
BELL RINGS
Ready?
There you go. Thank you.
Do you want anything?
Water. I'm so thirsty.
Gina?
You need to see this.
The man was taken into
custody late last night
and it's understood detectives
have asked for extra time
to question him.
His identity hasn't been
released because police fear
that could jeopardise
their efforts to recover
the £172 million still missing.
Meanwhile, all British air and
seaports have been put on high alert
and the British authorities
are working closely with Interpol.
Come on.
Oh! Behave yourself, lad.
He's pretty self-sufficient
so just pop in tomorrow night,
fill his bowl
and that should see him through.
We'll be back Sunday at the latest.
No problem.
And this is a romantic thing?
Yeah, could go that way,
if she plays her cards right.
Oh, yeah, sorry.
Here - for your trouble.
Oh, no, no, you don't pay me.
No, no, call it bus fare.
Thanks, honey.
See you soon, Gary.
See you later, Gazza.
Right, come on, you. Ta-ra.
Riaz?
Christopher?
Let's get you inside.
BUZZER
2-8-1-8, I should write that down.
No, you shouldn't.
Codes change every week or so.
Who chooses the numbers?
They're randomly generated.
Where's next?
6.2 miles, a shop called
Cobbled Lane.
Stick it in the Satnav, then.
Key in the second lock.
We'll turn them clockwise on three.
One, two, three.
HE LAUGHS
You are shitting me.
Blue cages - fifties,
red cages - twenties,
green cages - tens,
and the yellow cages are fives.
Ten yellow cages equal
one blue cage? Thereabouts.
It would make sense to grab
the blues first, and then
Quite a thinker, aren't you?
You taking the piss?
None of it's my business.
Tell me you're the guy.
I was the guy.
I'm not any more - I pulled out.
No.
You're the guy.
You're going to stay the guy.
Give it up, bitch!
Don't, you're creeping me out!
You never fantasised
about this shit?
What, rape from an ugly,
rubbery man? No!
I am having you,
so turn away or get involved.
Fine.
You want it that way
Come on then, Big Boy.
You look like your mum!
Ah!
I am going to buy you
the best car.
The most expensive dress,
new tits
What's wrong with my tits?
Nothing. Forget the tits.
I could buy all that for myself
if I was getting a cut.
I am helping, aren't I?
Well, you can have half
of what I get.
Well, is that fair?
I'm involved now.
Why shouldn't I get paid?
Nothing personal,
but can you sit somewhere else?
Don't make a scene, Christopher.
I'm not making a scene.
You're my only friend in here.
I've nothing in common
with the others.
You don't have
anything in common with me.
Well, if you bothered
to ask a few questions,
maybe I could prove that wrong.
For example, er
We're both expectant fathers.
Your lady's, what? Four months?
Yeah, I'm sure that's what I heard.
Mine's at six.
I worry about her, all the time.
Falling over,
tripping down the stairs
Has anyone showed you
the damaged note room yet?
I've been down here
150 times already
You're lucky that's my weak arm.
HE SPITS
Something you forgot to do, mate.
He has something
down his trousers, Dad.
Look, I'm sorry
I'll pay for it.
You think that's it? We just charge
people we catch? He didn't mean to.
What are you, his mother?
I'm his girlfriend.
He was having a joke.
What's funny about stealing from me?
No, not that kind of a joke.
It was a joke between us.
Here, look, I'm sorry.
I dared him, and it backfired.
So if anyone's to blame, it's me.
Please.
Can we just forget this whole thing?
Every time.
Every single time.
We got away with it, didn't we?
Night, Sandra.
Night.
COMPUTER PINGS
You OK?
Shut the door.
John?
HE PANTS
SHE MOANS
Slower.
Everything slower.
I'm serious about wanting a cut.
I'll talk to them.
When? When the time is right.
Which is not now.
Chris? Why don't you come through?
'So what is it you wanted
to talk to me about?'
I want to report a crime.
One you've witnessed
or one you've committed?
This one hasn't happened yet.
LULLABY TOY PLAYS
If you don't let her
fall asleep by herself,
how will she ever learn?
She's not ready.
I say she is.
I thought you had an alarm test.
Don't wait up.
Ah, I shouldn't.
Actually, why not?
Why didn't you tell me
about Christopher?
His mother died.
He has to deal with that,
and then he'll come back on board.
What if he doesn't?
I'm not pulling out of this.
I know when, and I know how.
I need something
more reassuring than that.
Risks are exciting,
but I have to know I'm going to win.
Chris is part of the plan.
If he co-operates,
he shares the spoils.
If he doesn't
he becomes a victim.
I didn't get into this
to take a life.
You don't have to. He's my problem.
You're capable of that?
I can do anything.
Give me the money!
HE LAUGHS
Aren't they great? I got
a dozen of them, like you asked.
Who's your friend?
How are you, Chris?
A lot better now, thanks, boss.
How's the hand?
Back to full strength.

'The man being questioned
is 30-year-old Riaz Kachelo,

'Charges are expected in

'Speaking at a press conference today
'detectives announced
more arrests are imminent

What if he calls?
Then I'll be here when he does.
This isn't the plan.
Hey, listen, the plan's gone.
There's no point in
both of us staying here.
I don't want to leave you.
Nothing's going to happen to me.
I'm lucky, remember?
There's only one toothpaste

another one up on the way.
On the way where?
Wherever you're running to.
SHE ZIPS UP THE SUITCASE
I don't want her
to see them take you.
I need to tell you why No.
No. No. Whatever's about
to come out of your mouth,
you do not say you did this for us!
I wasn't going to.
I was just going to tell you
that I'm sorry.
Not for what I did,
but that I couldn't
keep you out of it.
Was it worth it?
Whatever you got,
was it worth losing this?
I always knew it wouldn't be.
But that wasn't
the point of doing it.
No, don't. Don't.
Please don't. Just leave.
I will come back.
OK? For both of you.
And what if we've moved on?
I'll find you.
I'll win you back.
I can do that.
