Here you go, sunshine.
I'm all ears.
Okay, first,
I need to know that
me and my brother
won't get in any trouble,
all right?
He's a bit of a dickhead
but he's my dickhead,
do you know what I mean?
Hey, Thompson.
Can I get one of those
immunity forms, please?
Excuse me, sir?
The, um, code 274 document.
Oh, an immunity form?
That's the badger.
So
Rest assured you
and your brother
will receive full immunity
if you provide me
with information
that leads to
the real criminals.
Okay. Cool.
Because we had no idea
what the hell she was
going to do, bro.
-"She"?
-Yeah, yeah.
This girl, man,
and her mental mum.
But they're not psychos,
they just wanted revenge.
-Revenge, you think?
-That's what they said.
So, how old is this girl,
exactly?
I ain't saying another word
till I get my immunity, innit?
Isn't it.
There you are.
Come on. Pack your stuff.
I want to get back to the cabin
before dark.
I thought we agreed about this.
I know I just thought,
maybe if I could have
one day
You know what annoys me?
Is if we'd killed
Jimmy together,
none of this would
have happened.
God, Mum, it was my revenge.
I could do whatever
I wanted with it.
Yes, I know, I just think
it might have been nice.
We could have made a trip
out of it.
Who's Jo?
When he was dying,
Jimmy said, "Tell Jo."
Mum?
I didn't know whether
you wanted toast or cereal,
so I made both.
Let's give it up for the man
who knows how to work
a toaster.
Looks nice,
thanks, Nicky.
There's also
a selection of spreads.
So, whatever tickles
your pickle.
This is exactly what
I'm talking about, Kim.
Toast that comes out
of a machine.
A single portion of jam
wrapped in so much plastic
it could kill a small whale.
Oh, and this
Save water, drink Prosecco.
What the fuck does this
even mean?
Back at home everything
means something.
I mean, what were you hoping
to achieve with all of this?
This, Mum! My list!
All the things you've never
let me do.
Killing Jimmy was only
one thing on it.
I'm not even sure I would have
even done that
if it wasn't for the whole
Again, I'm so sorry about that.
Okay, how about this?
You pick one thing at random,
we go and do it
and then we go home.
Deal?
What, like anything?
Yeah, from your book. Go on.
What is it?
I have to spend the day
with Dad
at the fair.
Because that's my last
happy memory of him.
A whole day?
I thought you might have picked
something a bit smaller.
How much pollution medicine
have you got left?
I'm sorry, can I just
Okay, okay. Just forget it.
Isn't this fun?
Yeah!
This is the best day ever!
And then it was like
Arrow right in the chest, like,
some kind of
Katniss Everdeen shit.
It was actually
quite impressive.
But Tina is quite like that.
But bro, I thought you said
that this was a 274 doc?
This here says 374.
So, this Tina woman,
she's got, like,
a crazed look about her
which is at once
both terrifying,
yet oddly alluring?
Yes!
But she only killed Ian because
he was going to kill us.
-It was self-defense, really.
-Sure.
Take anything from the house?
Like what?
I don't know, valuables,
money maybe?
Nope No, no, uh, money.
Give us a sec.
Shouldn't I get, like, a copy
of that or something?
So, apparently, Ian didn't
kill Jimmy.
I did think at the time,
actually,
that his wife was telling
the truth.
So why the fuck didn't you
say something
before we killed her then?
It looked like you had it
under control.
Yeah, well, I did have it
under control, actually.
I was just a bit
discombobulated,
what with your little chat with
your new best friend, Terri,
before we went in.
Yeah.
Shit, we killed that hiker
as well, didn't we?
Oh, yeah.
-It's Terri.
-Shit.
Just tell her we made a mistake
and we'll get it sorted.
What a pen-arse.
Terri.
Creep.
I'm just trying to give her
something
to remember this day by.
Please, I know exactly
what you're up to.
I'm trying to be
a friend, actually.
Oh, my God, that's worse.
I'm not scared
of you, you know?
Okay, I'm a bit scared of you.
You can tell her I lied
about the pills if you want.
Shatter her perceptions
of reality
on the same day that
she's remembering her dad,
if you think
that's a good idea.
Don't you think instead of
lying to her,
you should just let her live
a little?
Look, no hands! Yeah!
Or are you really just worried
about being alone?
Sorry, I didn't mean
to be rude.
I just think you might be
surprised
by how fine she'd be out here.
Look!
Kim!
You're bleeding.
Oh no, don't worry,
this is from a knife fight
a couple of days ago.
- What?
- Oh no, don't worry.
The guy who did it is dead now
anyway, so
She's delirious, from losing
all that blood.
Nothing to worry about.
We need to get
her out of here now.
Yeah, back home.
Lethal, that ride,
look how fast it's going.
Your dad would be
so proud
of the woman you've become.
Independent, resilient.
I mean, you're basically
a badass,
which is super inspiring.
Do you remember when I ran away
from the cabin when I was 12
and you tracked me down
in the forest
and shot me with a tranquilizer
because I was about to cross
the border into Russia?
I'd heard rumors
of an invasion.
I couldn't take any risks.
-So you weren't lying then?
-No! Of course not!
I was wrong, as it turned out,
but, no, I wasn't lying.
Kim, there's something
I need to tell you.
- What is it?
- Well, the thing is
Ow! Mum!
- Sit still then.
- I am sitting still.
-What is it, Nicky?
-Well
Oh, gosh, that's
your actual skin.
Are you hot? Is it hot?
It's really hot.
Are you okay?
It's just really
hot in here!
-Nicky?
-Nothing happened!
I'm just
There we go. All done.
Thanks. I'll just go and see
what he wants.
Oh, yeah! I'll come with you.
We could do with some food
for the journey home anyway.
Come on, you.
You okay?
There's just so much stuff!
I've just never seen
so much stuff.
I don't even understand
half of it.
I mean, look
Fish don't even have fingers!
And this is the milk of a nut.
- How do you milk a nut?
- Do you mind?
Oh. Sorry.
How do you ever choose
any one thing?
How do you make space
for any of it?
I know, it's depressing.
No, I mean, literally how?
My mum never told me
about any of this stuff.
Yeah, about that
What? What is it?
Oh, God, I've missed you.
Your mum lies to you
about everything, okay?
There's no fish measles
or killer pollution.
Okay, so she bent the truth
on a few things
but she's hardly going to
make up something
as serious as that.
I mean, why would she?
To keep me trapped
in my own home?
So we can, what,
grow old together
just the two of us
in our own little bubble?
Away from everything
and every
Oh, come on. Don't you think
you're being a little dramatic?
You just said all those things,
not me.
Well, then don't you think
I'm being a little dramatic?
Sorry, do I think
you're being dramatic
when you just agreed
with what I
Okay, it's fine. You're wrong.
Can we just drop this?
First let me show you
something.
My pollution medicine
Oi!
All right. All you have to do
is plant this on Tina
and your job's done.
What is it?
It's a tracker.
This is like
Men in Black style.
Guys, I love this shit.
-Oh, but
-Just please
do your job and don't tell
another living soul, all right?
Otherwise the 274 document
goes in the bin.
Capisce?
You mean the 374?
That's what I said.
But why aren't we doing this
in the office, guys?
It's a covert operation, yeah?
Yeah, it's big boy shit.
Now, do you understand
the plan or not?
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
And as soon as I finish work,
I'm on the case, believe.
When do you
finish work?
-What time do you finish work?
-Peace!
Whoops!
All good, I've got it!
And she lied about all this
shit for years
and I mean years of my life
which I have spent in a hut,
for what?
Don't even get me started, Dad,
on that time she made us
spend two days
in the Thinking Cave
just because I cheated on my
weapons training homework.
I mean, talk about
hypocritical!
Oh! Why won't you
just fucking work!
If it makes you
feel any better,
no one wins on these things.
It's basically just a trick.
My dad won.
We came here the day he died
and he won me a penguin
from this machine.
I thought this would be a good
place to scatter his ashes
but I'm just not sure if I can.
Immunity Imunity
-Hey, babe, what are you
-What the hell is this?
Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
It's fine. It is nothing
to worry about, okay?
I am worried though, Jay.
I come home to find
a bag of money
on top of the wardrobe
and an axe in
the airing cupboard.
That is a, um
It's a birthday present
for my mum.
I thought we were getting her
Nando's vouchers.
Morning, handsome.
Well, hello there,
Mrs. Davidson.
Oh! I am loving
the purple rinse today.
-Specially for you, my love.
-Stop it, you.
Well, we'll talk about it
later, babe.
It's just this thing
that Nicky's doing.
-It's all fine.
-It doesn't look fine.
Look, I promise,
I'll explain everything.
You heard the man, darling.
Jog on.
We'll talk about this later.
The usual then, Mrs. D?
Yes please, darling.
- Um
- Oh, that's a big 'un!
Here, Mrs. D.
You spell the word "immunity"
with two "M's" right?
Yeah.
It's funny.
The more time I spend in
my dad's old hometown,
the more I realize I never
actually knew him.
Like, what was his favorite
biscuit?
Did he have a second
favorite biscuit?
Did he have a
Are you about to say
third favorite biscuit?
Did he have a really
great laugh?
Or a really annoying one,
you know?
What did he smell like?
I think all dads smell
a bit like gravy.
And grass.
Tell you what, why don't we
ask him?
Hi, Mr. Noakes.
Just wondering what
your favorite biscuit is.
Well, Nicky,
I quite like a Jammie Dodger
but I'm also quite partial
to a chocolate Hobnob.
Sorry,
was the voice too much?
What's a Jammie Dodger?
I'll buy you some if you like.
Okay.
I guess what really
counts is
you love him.
And he loved you.
Okay, Dad
this is it.
I'm saying goodbye.
I miss you.
I hope I've made you proud.
Oh, and I
I bet you had the most
amazing laugh.
And I bet you smelled
like gravy and grass.
What the fuck?
I know you're angry, Terri,
we've found your dad's killer
and we think they've
got the money.
We just need a bit more time.
Yep, okay, bye.
Doughnut?
You know I don't do carbs.
Idiot.
Right.
That was Terri on the phone.
She says we've got
two days to deliver.
Or what?
What the fuck?
Sorry, I was trying
to offer a visual.
Well, clean it up!
What did Terri
actually say?
She said we've got
two days to deliver or else.
"Or else."
She actually used the words
"Or else."
Yeah.
Jesus Christ.
That's the trouble
with you millennials.
No originality.
Tracker's on the move.
Maybe it's a secret
message from Dad.
Or, no, maybe he made
films of us
when I was a little kid!
Maybe he
So this is cricket.
I'm sorry. How did you
get in the house?
It was your dad's
favorite sport.
No, seriously, though,
did you have a spare key or
Not now, fucko.
We left the night
your dad died.
We had to.
But when we stopped at
a service station for food,
I saw this DVD on the shelf
and, um
I broke down, right there
in the shop.
Because,
well, this particular match
in this particular sport
is called
The Ashes.
And your dad loved it
more than anything else.
I know it isn't perfect
but it was the best I could do.
I'm really sorry.
The thing is, Mum
I have no idea what's true
and what's not anymore.
All you've done is lie to me.
And some of it
I can understand,
but I have been speaking
to a piece of plastic
my whole life,
thinking that it's my dad.
How do you expect me
to forgive you for that?
Right.
So, listen
The thing is
I think I might have fucked up
a little bit.
What have you done?
Jay, what the fuck?
Who did you speak to?
What was their name?
-D.I. Brooks I think.
-Oh, he's crooked.
He's one of Jimmy's inside men.
How do you know that?
He's one of the cops
who let Jimmy
get away with
your dad's murder.
And if he gets half a chance,
he'll kill every
single one of us.
And you've led him right to us.
Good one, Jay.
Okay then. So, let's go.
