Two Weeks to Live (2020) s01e03 Episode Script

1
Mum?
Mum?
We need to go back
right now, Mum.
Darling, you know
I can't hear you
when you mumble like that.
I'm in trouble, Mum!
And that's why we're
going home.
I told you, you couldn't
cope out here.
I told you, you weren't
ready
Jimmy's dead!
I killed him.
And my fingerprints
are all over that house.
Jesus!
How many times have I
said to you,
"Gloves and a gun if you want
to have fun."
I mean, it rhymes
for fuck's sake!
I don't think she's
coming back, kid.
We should just go.
-Hey, what about Ian?
-It's not our problem, man!
We didn't do any of this.
Let's just go!
But not with that money.
This is our chance to set up
the business properly, bro.
Just me and you, kid.
Like Dad always wanted.
Whoa!
Leave it.
Just give it just give it!
All right, all right,
just stop a minute?
Just stop rushing around
like a fucking
bull in a Chinese shop.
You mean,
bull in a china shop.
What's a china shop?
You know, they sell
cups and that.
- What, from China?
- Made out of china.
That's why you can't have
a bull in there,
'cause it'll break everything.
Bro, I thought the bull
was panicking
because he was in
a Chinese takeaway.
Well, 'cause they cook
loads of beef, don't they?
This is not our money.
We need to put it back
and just wait for Kim.
It's easy for you though,
isn't it?
Mr. Fucking big brains.
What about me, bro?
What have I got?
Do you really think Beth's
gonna wanna
spend the rest of her life
with the
bloke off the fish counter?
Yeah. I do actually, yeah.
But we need to put this back.
And we need to get Ian
to the hospital
one way or another.
So are you going to help me
or what?
Come on then.
Such a fucking goody
two shoes, ain't ya?
Ian? I am shocked.
Sorry lads. I can't let you
take that money.
Excuse me, mister.
We were literally coming
in here to give this
Oh, come on
Which one of you little
fuckers is Nicky?
Come on. Own up.
It's me. I'm Nicky.
No. I'm Nicky.
Actually, it is him.
Sorry bro, but when she
pointed that thing at me
I was like, "Nah, do you know
what I mean? Fuck that!"
Shut it.
What's that?
Oh, yeah. Like I'm gonna fall
for that
"it's behind you" thing.
No, seriously. What is that?
Kim!
- Oh, my head!
- Are you okay?
Get me up!
Are you all right?
This is the last time you put
me in a fucking bag, okay?
Well, maybe I wouldn't have to
put you in a bag,
if you didn't
There is no reasonable
end to that sentence.
How do you not understand that?
Don't worry, Kim.
I've got this.
All right, sunshine,
don't give yourself
a nose bleed.
I won't, actually
Okay, I only get them
in the summer
when I sneeze too much, so
Stop it. Both of you.
Nicky, Jay,
this is Tina. My mum.
I'm just gonna
Hey, thanks
for coming back for us.
Just start cleaning, okay?
We've not got long.
So, Jimmy doesn't like
new people, all right?
So keep your mouth shut
unless he talks
to you directly.
But, he knows I've met Terri
though, right?
You told him that
she vouched for me?
Yeah, yeah. That's all sorted.
Just keep your answers short,
don't look him in the eyes
And if you could say
you're allergic to bees
that would really help me out.
Sorry, bees?
Yeah, Jim keeps them at
the bottom of the garden.
He's always banging
on about them.
Drives me up the wall.
So, like when I'm
introducing myself,
I'll just kind of drop in
the information.
No, no. Don't volunteer
the information.
Otherwise, he'll know
I've prepped you.
So, is this a problem?
It's just a lot
to think about, isn't it,
when I'm already trying
to make a good impression?
You know what, forget it,
all right?
Okay? But don't blame me
if we're still here
at four o'clock
in the afternoon
discussing the wider impact
of fucking bee population
decline, all right?
It's a serious issue.
Jim!
Ian?
Go on, then.
Chop, chop!
You better come look
at this.
Oh, fuck!
Okay, look, this is
my girlfriend's house.
So listen.
Beth will be back
at 8:00, okay?
And I want everything exactly
the same as how it is now.
Thanks, Jay. We just need
somewhere safe until nightfall
and then we can bury the body
and be out of your way.
All right, just keep it civil.
Yeah? Please.
Would anyone like
a chocolate finger?
Oh, I didn't realize we were
at kids birthday party.
Mum, he's just being nice.
A cup of tea?
Oh, yeah, that will really
hit the spot
after the morning we've had.
Okay. A glass of wine?
Okay, King Henry the Eighth.
Have you got any roast hog
to go with your wine?
Okay. I'm sorry. I'm just
trying to do something normal
because I think a degree
of normality is what's
flippin' required right now.
Coming from the guy who thinks
it's okay to play pranks
on young innocent girls.
How about
a toast
to my daughter,
the avenging angel.
Nah, not for me.
I hate that stuff.
It's chocolate milkshake
that gets you pissed.
-What's not to like?
-Yeah, it's a bit sweet, innit?
Ah, so men
are still pretending
not to like things that they
obviously do like, are they?
He doesn't like it.
It's not a big deal.
It is, Kim, because nothing's
changed in 15 bloody years.
And this is the world
that you're so desperate
to explore.
One where no one's free
to be themselves.
That's what
you're signing up to.
Which is far more dangerous
than Jimmy ever was.
So drink up, Jay,
'cause let me tell you
something.
Ninety-nine percent
of the world's problems
would be solved overnight
if men just admitted
that they like three things,
sweet drinks, musical theater
and a finger up the arse.
But they don't,
and around we go.
I need some air.
Kim!
- Kim, Hold up!
- What, Nicky?
What do you want?
Can I introduce you
to someone?
I think she might
be able to help.
There she is.
Mrs. Lonely Tree.
When I was little,
me and my dad used to
try and cheer her up.
Make her little daisy chains
and stuff.
When he died, I found this was
the only place where
I could cry.
She looks so sad.
I'm sorry for lying
to you, okay?
It was stupid.
But I'm still trying to help.
Even though I'm really
fucking scared.
And even though
I've got a piece of
fucking brain in my pocket!
Jesus!
Come here.
I'm still here
because every time
I look at you,
it reminds me of that tree.
I'm still trying to work out
what that means.
I think it means that
out of the two of us,
you're the weird one.
-Which is unexpected.
-Yeah.
There are gonna be some
very bad people
looking for that money.
Get rid of it.
Do you understand?
Good lad.
Hi, Terri.
So, it looks like it was Ian
that killed your dad.
He's run off
with the money.
Me and Thompson are just
at the house now.
Yeah, sure.
She wants to talk to you.
Hi, Terri.
I'm so sorry about
your father.
Fuck off.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Bit of an old dog new tricks
sort of situation.
Exactly.
Bye.
Yeah, I can assure you
I'm in complete cont
Hello?
Hello, Linda love.
Is Ian about?
Right, me and Mum
will dig the grave.
Mum and I, will dig the grave.
Really! Now?
You don't have to come with us,
but we could really do
with someone to keep watch.
I watch stuff all the time.
Telly
My language around my nan.
Okay, great.
- Thank you.
- Yo
Stay here with me, kid.
Are you mad?
I will be fine.
You do realize that
if you get in that car,
you'll be accessorizing
the crime.
Accessorizing, yeah?
Like a fancy clutch
or a cummerbund?
You weren't laughing
when Gary Flint
stole your World Cup 2002
sticker book, were you?
And who broke his nose
with a baseball bat
to get it back?
It was a table tennis bat
and you bruised his cheek.
Now, listen. It's my job
to look after you
and I don't understand what
you're doing right now.
We should just go
to the police, man, surely?
Look, I'm just trying to put
the toothpaste back
in the tube.
Okay?
All right. Do you know what,
do what you want.
But don't bring them
back here. All right?
Take them back to our house
when it's done.
Okay.
Time to go.
Oh, you might want
to get a coat.
I think it's going to rain.
Oh, no, I've checked my app
and it's not going to rain.
But, look at those clouds.
What?
Well, it's just that no one
-looks at stuff anymore, Kim.
-But
We're gonna be fine.
Trust me.
It honestly shouldn't
be raining.
I, I don't understand.
Just stay here
and keep watch.
If anyone comes,
just do the mating call
of the Chinese water deer.
Or maybe something
a little easier.
Okay, the mating call
of any deer will do.
If anyone comes
just blow on this.
Okay. Cool.
Uh, great. Awesome.
- One, two, three
- Good luck.
Hi, babe. I'm home.
Nice day, then?
Bit of a bloody mess
from start to finish
to be honest.
- You?
- Yeah. Same.
Did you know that capers
are actually pickled
nasturtium seeds?
-Really?
-Yeah,
you see, I'm not
so stupid now, am I?
I don't think you are stupid,
babe.
You learn something new
every day with me.
Well, exactly.
-What about you then?
-What about me?
I don't know. Have you got
anything to teach me
or tell me?
Like what?
Well, nothing.
I'm just wondering.
Oh, do you want a glass
of wine?
No, I'm off booze for a bit
until this merger's complete.
Good idea. Nice.
See, this is nice,
isn't it?
Just the two of us
in the woods.
Digging a grave?
Well, you made quite
a mess, didn't you?
We cleaned it up together,
didn't we?
And I'm very proud of you.
Really, really proud.
Whoa!
I should have told you
I was leaving.
I'm sorry.
Oh, no. You're all right.
We'll be back home soon,
anyway, and
everything can just
get back to normal.
Actually, Mum
What? What is it?
So let me just
get this straight.
You met a tree
that made you re-evaluate
things?
Exactly.
And it was like looking
in a mirror
because she was just
stuck in the same place
her entire life.
Not changing anymore,
not growing.
Just rooted to the spot.
I understand that.
I do.
The thing is about trees,
though,
is that when one of them
is under attack,
they send signals to all
the nearby trees
so they can put up
their defenses.
Okay, I see what
you're doing.
And did you know that
there are older trees
sometimes known
as mother trees
that can use fungi
in the soil
to send sugar to seedlings
so they have a better chance
of survival?
You're trying to
out metaphor me,
and it's not going to work.
Trees might look lonely.
But they're communicating
all the time.
It's only when you tear up
their roots
that they die.
What you do next is entirely
up to you,
but there will be
dangerous people
looking for us.
So all I ask is that we
go back to the cabin
and make that decision there,
where it's safe.
And that's just sensible.
Right?
Come on, we got
to get this done.
What the hell's going on?
Sorry, mate.
Jay! Coming to bed?
Yeah, one sec.
A man in reception says
he's witnessed
a murder up at
Jimmy Davies' house.
I thought you might like to
hear it direct.
Jimmy Davies' house
you say?
Why don't you show
the gentleman in?
