Coma (2024) s01e04 Episode Script

1
Simon, if someone
was to hurt your little girl,
you'd want to know who it was,
wouldn't you?
I've got to find them. Me.
Hey, 32. I know what you did.
'Don't worry. I won't tell no-one.
'Because I own you now.'
Ask-Ask Ask him.
He-He'll tell you.
'Jordan's crew,
they hang around a shop,
'and apparently, there's often
a bit of bother there.'
If you tell your dad,
you'll get nothing.
Or you can just shut your mouth
and do as I tell you.
You will get £3,000 per month.
Come with me.
Simon's the one that hit me.
You need to come and get me
right now!
Was he moving?
I don't know.
Oh, God, what if I've killed him?
Oh, my God!
What are we gonna do?
Simon! What are we gonna do?!
We're gonna pick up Sophie,
then we're gonna go to the police!
Hi. Hi, Mr White.
How are you doing? You all right?
You haven't seen Simon about,
have you?
Mark!
Are you sure about this?
Well, what alternative do we have?
Enough's enough, and I'm going to
tell them that I was driving.
You want to lie again to the police?
Well if we both get arrested,
what's going to happen to Sophie?
No, please. Please, please, just
Just Just
Wait a second.
We can't just walk
into a police station
and start talking.
We need legal advice.
What do you want?
I don't want anything.
Just saying hello.
Doctors prescribed that, did they?
Yeah, whatever.
Actually,
I did want to ask you something.
It's about Simon Henderson.
Who?
Oh, you don't know who Simon is?
A lot of people save your life,
then, do they?
You said you didn't know who he was
on the night of the attack.
Are you sure about that?
Yeah. And?
So you didn't see him right here
a few weeks back?
Two of you got into an argument,
didn't you?
You can't interview me on my own.
I'm a minor.
It's not an interview.
We're just talking.
I'm feeling intimidated
and threatened by your questions.
I'd like an adult to be present.
Fair enough.
I'll speak to your dad,
ask him to bring you in.
Can I go now, miss?
Yeah, course. I'm not stopping you.
Sorry for scaring you.
No, I
Course I understand, yeah.
No, it's, er
Well, could you just please
give me a call if anything changes?
Yeah, thank you.
I can't get a solicitor anywhere.
At least, erm not one
that will be available today.
You sure we're doing
the right thing? Yes.
We need to know
what our options are.
What if we don't have any options?
What if?
It's him.
Sophie, love. Come here, love.
Come on, we need to go.
What's going on?
No, we've got to go.
Simon!
Simon.
He SIGHS
Well, er
It's OK, yeah. It's
What?
I think we should, erm
I think we should find
somewhere else to stay tonight.
We can't risk going home.
Sorry, sorry. Sorry, love.
Find him, call me.
Jordan?
Jordan, lad, you in?
What's going on?
What? Nothing?
Why?
What do you mean, "why"?
I'm your dad.
You heard from Uncle Mark?
Uncle Mark?
Mm.
Why?
He said he was gonna take me out
somewhere, that's all.
Where?
I don't know,
for a burger or whatever.
For a burger?
Yeah.
Why would Uncle Mark
be taking you for a burger?
I've just got out of hospital,
haven't I?
Are you on something, lad?
No.
Jordan
Look at me.
I said look at me!
Look, I've not took nothing.
Hello.
'We should talk.'
OK.
Where are you?
What have you heard?
Mark's in hospital.
He got hit by a car.
What car?
I don't know, but he's been nicked.
He had a gun on him.
Where was this?
On the site, near the office.
And there's something else, too.
Kev saw him driving there
with Jordan.
And that fella, Simon.
Simon?
That's what he said.
Are we staying here tonight?
Yes, we certainly are.
Yeah.
There's a telly in the room,
and we'll be able
to get room service.
Anything you like.
213. Here we are.
There we go.
Shit.
You brought that shit into my house?
Where'd you get the cash from,
Jordan?
A mate lent it me.
Oh, yeah? What mate's that?
You've been with Mark.
And that Simon.
What's that about?
Jordan.
I am gonna ask you one more time,
just once.
And if you lie to me
..I'm gonna put you through
that wall.
It was him.
It was Simon.
He's the one that hit me.
'How are you doing, 32?'
You've been shouting at my mates
in the park.
My daughter, she cut her leg
on a glass bottle Nah.
You're a paedo, innit?
Just get away.
You trying to touch me, 32?
Is that what you like, is it?
Cos you like 'em young, don't you?
Just like your little girl.
I just spoke to one of the nurses
in A&E.
That guy, Mark,
he's just got a few broken ribs.
That's all. Nothing serious.
But he's also been arrested.
I don't know what for,
but the police are with him now.
God. At least I'm not a murderer.
Do you want a drink?
Yeah.
OK. Er
They've got shit, overpriced beer,
shit, overpriced white wine,
shit, overpriced red wine
Shit, overpriced red wine, please.
Right.
I'd say we should let it breathe,
but
I imagine it's better just to
..knock it back.
I wish I could sleep like that.
Just, like, anywhere.
God!
Oh!
That's awful!
Isn't it?
Simon, whatever happens next
..this is not all on you.
None of this is your fault, is it?
- Is it?
- I don't want
I don't want to lose you.
I love you.
I should hope so!
- Yeah?
- 'Any sign of him?'
There's no lights on.
'That doesn't mean he's not inside.'
Just wait there.
I'll be there shortly. All right?
So
..what did you do
to make Simon hit you?
Well, I don't know.
He's mental or something.
What were you doing
outside his house? Nothing.
He just ran out,
he grabbed hold of
Stop fucking lying to me!
Stop it!
I've not done nothing.
Just get off.
Please. Dad
Please.
You let us think that you had
some problem with your memory,
like you had fucking brain damage.
And for what?
Do we not give you enough,
your mum and me, huh? No
Is this not enough?
Y-Yeah, but
Do you know what?
If this gets out, right
If people find out
what he did to you
I've got to go and I've got to deal
with that man now, Jordan.
Do you understand what that means?
I give up. I give up.
Are you happy?
Are you? Is this what you wanted?
Is THIS what you wanted?
He could be with the police
right now.
He could be telling them
that you're blackmailing him.
Now, you could do time
for this, lad,
and I'm talking proper time.
And what? And you haven't?
'Ey.
There's a fucking reason
I did what I did.
It bought this house.
It put clothes on your back.
I mean what is the matter
with you?
I'm being serious, Jordan.
I want to know.
I want to know. There has
to be something wrong with you.
Because we have given you
everything you could possibly want
your whole entire life.
And you've just fucked it
every time!
And don't you dare give me
that ADHD bollocks.
This is you. Right?
This is you.
Now get out of my sight!
Hello, Simon?
You left a few messages,
so, er
Sorry it's late.
No, not a problem.
I'm doing a night shift.
I wanted to arrange a time
for you to come in.
I've got a couple more questions.
Simon?
Simon?
I can't help you
if I don't know what's going on.
Look, I'm in the station.
Why don't you come in now?
Are you at home?
'No.'
Right, where are you, then?
No, sorry.
Simon, no, wait, hang on.
I shouldn't have called.
'Simon, don't hang'
Who are you?
What?
Who are you?
I've been watching you
sat here, and
I'm gonna call the police.
You do that, and you're a dead man.
Kelly?
We've just had a call
from your witness.
What, Simon?
No, the old guy.
It's all right, darling.
Stay nice and calm.
That's it, little breaths.
That's it.
What's brought this on?
I think she's allergic
to the pillows.
Can you get her inhaler, please?
In her school bag.
It's all right.
Daddy's getting your inhaler.
Really well. Good girl.
Now, nice, slow breaths.
It's not here.
Sophie, do you know
where your inhaler is?
When did you last have it?
Lunchtime.
And did a teacher help you?
Did she put it back in your bag?
There's an all-night pharmacy
round here somewhere.
I'm gonna run her a hot bath.
Steam should help her breathe.
Yeah. OK. All right.
It's all right now.
Anything?
No, no, it's closed.
We'll be lucky to find anywhere
round here open at this time
If this gets much worse,
then I'm taking her to A&E.
No, but No, that
That thug, Paul Franklin's mate,
if he's there,
he's bound to have someone
watching over him.
We can't leave her like this.
There's that spare inhaler
in her bedroom.
Simon, no.
Mr White, can I come in?
You told one of my colleagues
over the phone
that you'd seen someone outside,
but you didn't give a description.
He was parked outside next door.
Right, outside Simon's house?
I've lived here 20 years.
It-It is It is not right.
He wants trouble,
I'll give him trouble!
That's not why you've got
that knife out, is it?
Don't give me that look.
This is my house.
Do me a favour.
Put that away, please.
What do you expect?
You lot never come around.
Well, I'm here now.
Yeah, you're here now.
Took you long enough,
and now he's gone.
You said you'd seen this gentleman
outside Simon's house.
Have you seen him tonight?
Simon, I mean.
Bobbies on the beat.
Whatever happened to that?
Cost too much, did it?
Mr White, please
It's all money.
Isn't it?
That's all anyone cares about.
And you wonder why people
take the law into their own hands.
No wonder he hit that lad!
Who?
Simon.
It was him you saw, wasn't it?
He could be in a lot of trouble,
not just with the police.
I need you to tell me the truth.
Male, IC1, mid-50s, 5'7".
I haven't got a photo, no.
His name's Simon Henderson.
Can you circulate that ASAP? Yeah.
Thanks.
Argh.
Stay down here, all right?
Yeah, OK.
I know you're in there!
I've seen you!
What is it, boss?
Don't tell me to calm down.
Someone's breaking in.
Not here, next door! Are you deaf?
Won't be long.
Hi. I don't suppose you have
an asthma inhaler, by any chance?
No.
Oh, OK. Thanks. Thank you.
Great, thank you.
Thanks so much. Thanks.
OK, you ready?
Big breath when I say. Ready? And
Breathe.
One, two, three.
How's that feel? Better?
Oh. Good girl.
Shall we watch a bit of telly?
Mm-hm.
Yeah. Come on, then.
Can I help you, sir?
Hiya, mate. Yeah, erm
I think I might have lost
my key card. Try reception.
OK. All right. Cheers.
Was it you here earlier
when I checked in?
No. I've only just come on shift.
Ah.
My name's Simon Henderson.
I'm staying in room 213.
Yeah?
'They were here.
Done a runner.
'Get over here now, help me look.'
'Don't go to the hotel.
They know we were staying there.'
What?
'Soph and I
got out the back entrance,
'and we managed to flag down a cab.'
Are you all right? Is Sophie OK?
'She's fine. I found an inhaler.
Are you safe?'
Er, yes, they-they've gone now.
W-Where are you?
You've been there this whole time.
Just get out of my way, Jordan.
You think you're better than me.
Is that it?
Well, you owe me.
I want an apology.
What?
You almost killed me.
You never said sorry.
So you're gonna get down
on your knees right now,
and you're gonna apologise.
No. No, you're gonna beg me
to forgive you.
You're insane.
No, get off me.
Say sorry.
Say sorry!
Say fucking sorry.
Sorry!
Say sorry!
Argh! Argh!
What have you done?
Hey, hey, hey!
What have you done?!
Go. Just Just go.
Argh Mm
Harry, I need you to go inside
and call an ambulance.
Can you do that for me?
Harry!
What the fuck is he doing?
Harry, put down the knife!
Put the knife down.
Harry! Harry, it's me, it's me.
Put the knife down.
Put it down.
Let it go.
Argh!
Harry
Harry, go
go and call an ambulance.
Go on.
I need to see this wound.
Get off! Come on! Come on!
I need to see your wound.
I need to see it now!
Right, erm
..I need you to stay still,
but this is going to hurt,
all right?
Right, here we go.
What the fuck are you doing?!
I'm just applying pressure
to the wound to stop the bleeding.
All right?
And if I don't do this,
you're going to die.
Do you understand?
Call my mum! Let me
Let me speak to her. No.
Let me speak to her.
No, you've got to stay calm.
Let me speak to her, please!
Jordan! Jordan! Listen!
Listen to me.
You've got to stay calm.
All right? The calmer you are,
the slower the heartbeat.
The slower the heartbeat, right,
less blood that you will lose.
You hear me?
Mm-hm. That's it.
Patrol to all units,
patrol to all units.
Stand by and await
further instruction. Over.
OK.
Is he alive?
He is. He's at the hospital now.
Are you OK to talk to me?
I just need to know
that my family are safe.
Safe from who?
From Paul Franklin?
Mr White tells me that
you were the one that hit Jordan.
Is that correct?
Yes.
I'll tell you everything when I
I know that my wife and my daughter
are OK, so
Where are they?
They're on the way to her mother's
in Birmingham.
They might even be there by now.
Right, OK.
You give me the address,
I'll make some calls. Thank you.
I'm afraid I'm going to
have to arrest you now, Simon.
You understand that, don't you?
Try to be still, Jordan.
I know it hurts.
You're doing really well.
Single puncture wound.
Let's get him to theatre
as quick as we can.
Yes, Dr Johnson
Right, you've been arrested
on suspicion of grievous bodily harm
and obstruction of justice.
We're going to keep you here
in custody until your interview.
Do you understand that?
Yes. All right.
This way, please.
Jordan's gonna be fine.
They've patched him up,
given him some blood.
He was lucky.
Did he make a statement?
Yeah, but not about tonight.
What do you mean?
Jordan is now claiming
that he's remembered
who attacked him four weeks ago,
on the night of October the 11th,
when he was found unconscious
outside your house.
He says that he was confronted
by a young male
who appeared to be
in his late teens or early 20s.
And he had never seen
this individual before.
Surprising, to say the least.
So, I have to ask
..why did you tell me earlier
that you'd hit Jordan?
No comment.
Why does his version of events
differ from yours?
No comment.
Did you assault Jordan
on the night of October the 11th?
No comment.
Simon
..you told me that you feared
for the safety of your family.
Why was that?
No comment.
Hi, it's me. Erm
Er, listen
They've, er They've let me out.
For now, at least.
Listen, I will tell you more
when you wake up, so
I'm just gonna go home
and get the car, so
I'll see you soon.
I love you.
Get in.
Out.
Walk.
I said walk.
Paul, let me explain.
Anything happens
Anything happens to me, then
they come looking for you first.
I've done this before.
And I'm still here. Get over there.
What do you want me to say?
Tell me. I-I
Stop!
That's far enough.
Do you know what? I
I liked you, Simon.
I trusted you.
He threatened my wife. My daughter.
You'd have done exactly the same.
Doesn't matter.
Not now.
You don't wanna do this.
It's too late.
You've given me no choice.
But we're leaving, Paul.
My wife, my daughter,
we're we're moving away.
You'll never see me again.
You wanted to scare me, Paul.
You've scared me.
You wanted to teach me a less
He is a nightmare.
That boy of mine.
I do love him, but
You could've walked away last night,
but you didn't.
Now, you can go wherever you want.
You can go as far away as you want.
But if I ever see you again
..I won't be shooting
above your head.
You understand?
Goodbye, Simon.
Goodbye, Paul.
'Danny, Danny,
come on, you're his big brother.
'You're the one who's supposed
to be showing him the way.'
'Come on, darling.'
'Here you go.
Pass it back to him, then, Jordan.
'Whoa!'
'What are you doing? There you go.'
'Hi, Daddy!'
'That's it.
'Good boys.'
'Good boys. Go on, lads.
'Yes!'
You all right?
Yeah.
Thanks.
Good lad.
That's everything, is it?
Yeah.
Cash, tickets, passport Sophie.
We're definitely taking Sophie,
are we?
Oh, I don't know.
What do you think (?)
Oh, all right, then.
Yeah.
OK.
OK?
Come on.
