Paranoid (2016) s01e05 Episode Script

Welcome to Dusseldorf.
How did Ruben meet Angela? I told him he had to do something about his drinking.
He had to see someone about that.
Angela was Ruben's doctor? Nina, I told him that we were finished.
I want children.
Look, I'll get her home.
You're seeing that policeman.
Does he know about your past? I can't see you any more.
Take care, Bobby.
You want me to tell you about the investigation? Well, what you can find out.
Dr Crowley, he's involved.
What makes you say that? So, our German visitor is now the number-one suspect for the murders of Angela Benton and Jacob Appley.
Ruben was a top-end medic.
Why would he buy drugs from a lump of piss like you? You think that I'm Ruben's dealer? Ruben was my dealer, OK? Ruben could get all kinds of medicines.
It's a big business.
This is why Ruben is in his pool, dead.
He called himself Detective Galen.
The top man at the beginnings of medicine.
A doctor? We'll call the hospitals.
What is there was someone, someone who sticks out? Well, there was Mr Fairweather.
Why was he different? Because he suddenly left.
I'm sorry.
Hey, I'm police! What are you doing? (GRUNTS) (COUGHS) I told you! I told you all, stay away! I've lost everything! (GRUNTS) (SIGHS) NINA: You sent this to us? My wife made these .
.
to give to me .
.
to show me she was lonely.
But what I heard was she was depressed.
Steffan, it's what's written on these cards that we're here to talk about.
I was busy at work, I didn't wanna have to deal with her moods.
I told her to go and see her GP.
He gave her some pills.
I thought that was good news.
Written here, by you, about the murder of Angela Benton - "Look into Angela's past".
What does that mean? And then Hester started to become strange.
I thought it was her fault.
Well, of course I did, it couldn't possibly be the pills.
Steffan, you're here under caution to answer our questions.
She took a massive overdose.
But she didn't kill herself and so she was left with well, what you see, brain damage.
I did that to her.
(SPEAKS GERMAN) How long have you been a single man, Bobby? Erm12 years.
You know what I think would be good for you, Bobby? Sex.
(SPEAKS GERMAN) Danke.
You think if we find out what Ruben was stealing, we will find out why he was killed? I think this could be big.
You took two typed pages from Eric Benton's house.
Those pages are evidence in a murder investigation.
Where's my wife? Your wife's safe.
We've arranged proper medical attention for her at home.
So where are those two pages now, Steffan? Were they destroyed in the hut fire? Yes.
I want to see my wife.
Steffan, let's just lay out what it is you're facing here.
Number one - impersonating a police officer.
For starters, that's a six-month prison sentence.
I want to see my wife.
Number two - obstructing the police in an investigation.
Three - perverting the course of justice.
Those few words come with a seven-year prison term.
Theft of evidence, another seven years.
Sothe pages? I want to help you because I want the people who did this to Angela to be caught.
Good.
But I won't say another word until I've seen my wife.
Look, he hates you, boss, because you went public with his identity.
He might trust me.
Let me take him to see his wife.
If we give him that, it's a gesture that we're on his side.
Alec's right, we need him to co-operate.
OK.
It takes a lot of pills to make Jesus.
What are they doing? Just look at it.
My boys would like that.
AUTOMATED VOICE: Please leave your message after the tone.
(BEEPS) Lucy, it's me.
Please call me, will you? Oh, sweetheart.
I love you.
I love you, my sweetheart.
I know what you want.
I know what you want.
He's just a tiny bit "dark side of the moon", isn't he? I guess we're dealing with someone who's desperate with guilt for what he's done to his wife.
What do you think he means, "I know what you want"? (SCOFFS) Steffan, the man who killed Angela, you wrote to us to say it wasn't Jacob Appley.
How did you know that? I went to see my wife's GP after she tried to kill herself.
You can't go on doing this to us.
We're giving you what you asked for, you have to talk to us about Angela.
I asked him why he'd given her so many pills, why he'd increased her dosage.
He didn't want to know, he gave me bland answers.
So I wrote to Rustin Wade, the company who made the pills.
I'm a medic, I thought they'd listen to me.
But they wanted to make me look like a crank, so I started to look into it all, properly dig around.
Steffan, honestly, I know what this all means to you.
I get it.
My mother - she was caught up in all that psychiatry stuff.
So I promise you, I feel for you but you have to help us.
You have to tell us what you know.
I am telling you what I know.
Then I went to see Dr Benton at the surgery.
When I told her what had happened to Hester, she wept.
Angela wept about your wife? Yes, that told me.
Well, what did that tell you? It told me that Angela knew something was wrong.
That something big was going on and she knew about it.
After that first time I went to see her, I looked her up on the Internet.
I saw that she'd worked out in Dusseldorf, so then it all made sense.
What did that tell you, her working in Dusseldorf? I went back to see her again.
I told her I'd written to them, the company who'd made the pills.
Letters, e-mails, about 20 of them no, more.
I'd written a blog, left messages, threads on websites, trying to raise awareness of what had happened to Hester.
And you told Angela all of this? She wouldn't speak to me any more.
She seemed really spooked, so that confirmed it to me.
That she knew something? Yes.
I could see she was really scared of something.
Why else would she react like that? It could be she was spooked because you may have appeared a little bit intense? And then she was killed.
Yeah, there is that.
Hier entlang, bitte.
You have to try these, Bobby, they're French.
You won't get religieuse like this in Cheshire.
What are they doing? I'll have one for you.
Tell us, Steffan, why do you think Angela was killed? Those drugs bent my wife's brain so out of shape that she tried to kill herself.
And they know that.
The company who make this stuff know they're killing people.
That's a crime and Angela knew that.
Steffan, all kinds of people make accusations against pharmaceutical companies.
I've read lots of it on the Internet, there are books about it.
That's not enough to get someone killed.
But Angela had evidence.
The pages? MEGAN: There's been a car crash.
And why didn't you come to us instead of sending those spooky-dooky picture cards? I realised because I'd made a noise about the drugs that they'd come after me.
I had to look after my wife, I owe her that.
So, I had to stay hidden.
But when you had the pages, why didn't you give them to us? I had something I could use if they came to get me.
So, you must know what was on them.
(KNOCKING) You two.
There was a crash, a car, two young lads, Baxter Lane.
The driver of the other car, he was cursing, he was bleeding Megan, stop.
One sentence at a time.
He was German.
Our hoodie man.
And would we like to talk to him.
ALEC: I saw him at the canal and you saw him at the hut.
We'll know if this is our man.
Alec I hate to do it like this.
I'm pregnant.
Yeah.
It's a mess, I know.
The Subaru is on the wrong side of the road.
Maybe our man passed out at the wheel.
Look at all this blood.
How far can he go? This is a German who is not in good shape.
If he crawled out of here, he must be pretty determined to get away.
But the mess of his car, blood everywhere, he can't have got far.
(MAN GROANS) This looks like a man who really does not wanna talk to us.
He's scared of his own people coming after him.
He doesn't know he's beat.
Hi.
I am so sorry to keep you waiting.
They did try to track me down I admit it, I was in the pool.
Detective Linda Felber.
And this is Detective Bobby Day who is over here from England.
Nick Waingrow, director of external affairs.
How can I help you? Nick, I thought my cakes were good, but if my boys tasted these The pastry chef is French.
Oh, I knew it.
Nobody does French pastries like the French.
We're investigating the death of Ruben Locana.
I understood that he died in his own pool.
Sorry, I knew I ate too many cakes.
Thank you.
We got some information that he was dealing drugs.
Drugs that came from here.
Does this business have something to do with his death? You don't sound too surprised.
Are you saying that you knew he was thieving drugs? Eryes.
We did, but er we put a stop to it.
I put a stop to it.
Would you care to come with me? I can show you what Ruben worked on.
Yes, of course.
After you.
Thanks.
Ruben wasn't a very good crook.
He signed up a couple of guys at the stores to help him out, and a driver.
Why didn't you go to the police when you knew what was going on? Your lace is loose, Detective Day.
We don't want you falling over now, do we? How did Ruben keep his job if he was running a scam? You're not gonna get a fair and reasonable take on Ruben from me, I'm afraid.
The guy, he made my life hell.
I'm just the clean-up man.
You know, you tell yourself that maybe in some small way you're part of something worthwhile.
Like medicines for children in Africa, that kind of thing.
Shall I tell you about Locana, why he was indulged, patched up again and again, forgiven, believed every time he promised to clean up his act? You want to know why? I'll show you why.
(CLAMOURING) What's your name? Can you tell us your name? It's Dennis's baby.
It has to be because the timing.
I'm sorry.
I mean, I'm not sorry because I'm thrilled, I'm in bits.
And all the time, I'm thinking, "I've just started going out with this bloke and he's lovely and .
.
it's a mess.
" But it's not a mess because it's what I wanted so much, and now it's here and Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Slow down, slow down.
It's OK.
Look, it's happened.
You're having a baby.
(LAUGHS) And that's all you need to know right now.
(SIGHS) Thank you.
(SNIFFLES) I hate to do this but we We have to get on, I know.
I shouldn't have I'm OK.
Let's work.
So, no ID, no papers, no credit cards, no phone.
I just spoke to er I don't know, some medic.
Right leg broken in two places, dislocated shoulder, spinal cord damage, his left eye crushed, his ribs, his lung And he dragged himself 200 metres and buried himself under the ground? Anyone would think he didn't want to talk to us.
We need to get DNA and prints when he comes out of surgery.
Let's see if the Quaker sex queen can ID him from what she saw of the break-in at her cafe.
I'm having a baby.
(CHUCKLES) You know what they do here? They make magic potions.
And Ruben was like Merlin.
The people who know how this stuff works tell me that this is brilliant.
This changes lives, saves lives, whole nations.
I look at this and I feel small.
The same week that Ruben died, his ex-wife was killed.
Ruben Locana never married.
His ex-partner, then, the mother of his child.
Ruben's life was holy chaos.
I meet someone like Ruben and I am in awe.
I'm in awe of him for what he does.
Then you get up close and what do you see? You see that he's selfish, destructive, a destructive drunk.
And my job is to keep him going, get him back to work, suck it up, because he's the goose, the goose that lays the golden egg.
When I heard that Ruben was dead, you know what I said to my wife? I said, "I'm glad.
I'm glad it's all over.
For him.
For him, too, you know?" Where's your buddy? I think he went to the bathroom.
He goes to the bathroom a lot.
He's gone.
He can't do this.
All I'm trying to do is help.
I'm sorry.
We can't lead you on and prompt you.
It's him.
Thank you.
And you'll go to court and you'll testify that this is the man you saw? I can't take an oath, but we Quakers, we affirm.
So, yes, I will testify.
Thank you.
(SIGHS) He looks He could die? It's possible.
What about family? Children? We don't know anything about him.
So, he'll die alone like this? What, you feel sorry for him now? I was there, I saw what he did.
I still have nightmares.
But I know what it does to me when I hate.
I don't wanna go back there.
Yeah.
Have you heard from Bobby? No, I haven't heard from Bobby.
Listen, that first time I came to your cafe, I was a touch rough, I'm sorry.
It's your job.
No, no, no.
I was a bit scratchy.
I'm pregnant.
Oh, congratulations.
The world doesn't seem so unkind any more.
Sort of.
And you and Bobby I hope he doesn't have to die alone.
OK, I should go now.
Goodbye, Lucy.
What are you doing here, Chris? ErI'm working.
I told the police what you said to me.
I don't know what you think happened, Lucy.
I came to see how you are.
I hope you're OK.
What are you gonna do with those pictures that you have of me, Chris? Give them to Bobby to shame me? Do it.
Go ahead.
Or are you gonna give them to my friends at the Quaker hall so they realise what sort of woman I used to be? It will crush me, whatever you do, but I was sick, I know that now.
And I've paid for all that.
Inside of me, I've paid.
SoI won't buckle to you.
I need you to know that.
Use those pictures or give them to me so I can destroy them.
You sound pretty hysterical to me, Lucy.
You sound delusional.
Please be careful.
What are you involved in, Chris? I am genuinely concerned about you, Lucy.
I think you're gonna need help, Lucy.
Please call me if you do.
(MAN SPEAKS GERMAN) What are you doing running off like that? Where's the respect? Tell it to Jesus.
This might be how you do things in Cheshire, but all I'm trying to do is help you.
You said, "Cheshire.
" Excuse me? You said, "How you do things in Cheshire.
" I only told you Detective Day was from England.
You said, "Cheshire.
" What is this? Maybe you should check the tapes? You were recording us, right? Nick, why would you want to put us into a room where you can record police officers if, as you say, you only want to help us? Where's the respect? (SIGHS) Get a warrant next time you wanna come.
SECURITY GUARD: Kommen Sie.
Where have you been? Let's get outside and I'll tell you.
You had him, Linda.
"Maybe you should check the tapes" Everything he said sounded rehearsed.
Like, "I'm in awe of him for what he does This saves lives I said to my wife, 'I'm glad he's dead'" You know what I did in there? Saw the woman.
You know, the one who had Ruben's kid.
Marquita Olivo.
Why didn't she tell us she worked there? Interesting.
You've got him, haven't you, the man who killed Angela? What makes you say that, Steffan? I heard some officers talking.
Is he in the hospital?, is that right? We can't really talk to you about the case.
You wouldn't have him if I hadn't driven my car into him.
Steffan, you said you wanted to tell us about the pages.
He's a professional killer, isn't he? As I just said, we can't tell you things like that.
What else would he be? Be careful with him, they'll be after him.
You saw what was on the pages.
Do you know how many prescriptions there are in this country for depression in one year? 50 million.
Multiply that around the world and all the other pills they throw at us for made-up conditions.
Hoarding disorder.
Attention deficit disorder.
Adjustment disorder.
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder.
(LAUGHS) How did this happen? How did we sleepwalk into having our brains coshed? Steffan, are you saying that this is why Angela was killed? All around the world, doctors are being paid .
.
to push this poison at us.
That's all very interesting, but we are here to talk about the murders of Angela Benton and Jacob Appley.
I keep on saying it to you and you just don't get it.
This is the biggest, most dangerous conspiracy the world has ever known.
(SIGHS) Suppose we did get it.
Suppose we All those things that your boss said, is that what I'll be charged with? That's not how we want things to go.
But you have to, don't you? It's not for us to decide.
We make recommendations to the CPS.
But if someone's assisted us with a case But I will go to prison? I think you have to face the possibility, yeah.
Tomorrow is my anniversary.
No more deals.
I kept a copy of the pages.
I will take you to them, I will give them to you, but I want to spend my anniversary with my wife.
I want to give her flowers, give her a gift.
I want her to know that this day meant something to me before I go away from her.
We can't decide things like that.
Well, talk to somebody who can.
WALTI: Nick Waingrow.
Ex-FBI executive for criminal and cyber response.
Interesting.
That's not any FBI agent, that's career FBI.
So why is he cleaning up Ruben Locana's mess in Dusseldorf? Erfive of his agents were fired and three prosecuted.
Missing drugs money, missing drugs, missing people.
Waingrow took early retirement and got out of the country.
Four years with Rustin Wade, two of them out here.
All right, listen up, guys.
Listen up, listen up! Word from the hospital is our hoodie man is still unconscious but our Quaker friend has given us a positive ID.
And, campers, there is a positive DNA match from Angela's body, so we wait until we can talk to him.
We have armed officers at the hospital.
You can't help but think his paymasters don't want him talking to us.
We've got good reason to believe that we will get our hands on a copy of the typed pages tomorrow.
So I can finally have a good night's sleep tonight.
(DOOR BEEPS) I just wanna say one word.
That's all, Dennis, honest.
Just let me say it and then you'll see what I mean.
One word.
Mediation - we could try it.
People say it works.
You sit there and you talk about everything and you find out the causes of stuff and you sort it out.
It's got to be worth a go.
I deserve a chance.
You said one word.
Don't do that.
Come on.
What do you want me to do, beg? What are you looking at? Have a bit of consideration.
Two people are having a personal discussion and you can't step outside? Go on, outside.
What did I just tell you? (DOOR BEEPS) Dennis, you drop a bomb.
"It's over," no discussion, you don't even You don't even give me a reason.
This.
This is the reason.
That sofa is the reason.
"One word" is the reason.
You, Nina, you are the reason.
You could say all of that in mediation.
I'm saying it all now.
But with a counsellor we can sort it out.
I have sorted it out.
Is it someone else? (SCOFFS) You know, the way I feel, Nina, there'll never be someone else ever again.
That's a bit harsh.
My customers are waiting to get in.
I'm having a baby.
Your baby.
Our baby.
(SIGHS) Don't stare at me.
I'm terrified standing here.
I don't know what to say.
It wasn't deliberate, Dennis.
No, I know, of course not, you wouldn't do that.
But I am glad and I'm gonna keep it.
Of course.
Maybe when you've finished work, we could have a coffee.
Could it be a glass of wine? (BREATHES DEEPLY) (WALTI SPEAKS GERMAN) Here we go.
The boys love Uncle Walti's tricks.
They can never understand, if he can turn cents into euros, how come we're so poor? You have a gay friend, you always have a child minder.
Linda, come on! (INDISTINCT TALKING IN GERMAN) You never get married, Bobby? Oh, you see? She has to do it.
Me, married? Ermno.
You don't have children? (SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE) How come no children, Bobby? (SNIFFS) Erm .
.
I thought I would, I suppose.
Then, when I'd been doing this job for about, I dunno, a few years, it sort of crept up on me .
.
and I just knew .
.
I don't wanna bring kids into this world.
That is the saddest thing I've ever heard.
We have to cure you of your own mind.
Sex is What is the English word when something cheers you up? Mood elevator.
You see, Walti knows all about it.
Sex in the elevator, we should all try it.
(SNICKERS) (SPEAKS GERMAN) Ready for an early start at Marquita Olivo's house? (CAR ENGINE RUNNING) (HORN HONKS) Looks like someone's preparing to leave.
We did knock.
Good morning, Marquita.
You are all packed.
We're going on vacation.
Yeah, we were wondering why you didn't tell us that you worked at Rustin Wade? Oh, you didn't ask, you asked about Ruben and my son.
We have a flight to catch, could this wait till I get back? We would really like to talk to you about this.
Did you know about this scam Ruben had going? My relationship with Ruben was over, it was a difficult situation.
(CHILD EXCLAIMS) We had a child together.
He never saw his son.
We had to work in the same company so I tried to keep my distance.
I understand that, Marquita.
Difficult.
People would talk about things so I asked them to leave me out of it.
Best thing to do, distance.
So, if that's it? Our taxi's here.
Perhaps just another moment or two.
Mr Waingrow said that Ruben was "a magician", but what I can't get is that Ruben sounds like a crazy drunk.
How did he function? How did he do his job? There would be periods where he would be dried out so he could operate.
What was it that Ruben worked on? He worked on designing and developing new psychotropic drugs.
(CAR HORN HONKS) I'll tell the taxi he can go.
We'll get you to the airport.
And what is it that you work on, Ms Olivo? (CHILD SHOUTS) Halt die Klappe! Halt die Klappe! Psychotropic medicines? That's brain drugs, yes? They're psychiatric medicines that alter the chemical levels in the brain, which impact mood and behaviour.
Do you work on developing new psychotropic medicines? Hm? I have a flight booked.
I'm going on vacation with my family.
Will you let me go? And, Steffan, once you've seen your wife, you have to take us to those pages, all right? Thank you.
Happy anniversary.
Thank you.
I went to see Dennis.
We're gonna give it a go.
Oh, good, I'm glad.
"Oh, wonder! How beauteous mankind is! Oh, brave new world, that has such people in't!" Is there a bit of Shakespeare for every occasion? There is.
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER) Alec.
Yeah.
The hoodie man's conscious.
Bobbymaybe we could talk.
If we can just get his name, something, anything Yeah.
.
.
then that can give us a trail to find out who hired him, right? Definitely.
I didn't tell Dennis about us.
I thought it was enough, the baby.
But I will tell him.
You don't have to.
Maybe I won't.
I hate lying but I think it would do his head in just now.
Yeah.
Thank you.
(HEAVY BANGING) What's that? (DISTANT SCREAMING) (ALARM BLARES) TANNOY: Urgent.
Security to ICU now.
Everyone out.
(CLAMOURING) Where is he? We need to move him.
Stay on the door, no-one else is to come in.
Hold the door, now! Move! (DISTANT SCREAMING) They've let off gas canisters! Get out! (INDISTINCT TANNOY ANNOUNCEMENT) They've come to get him.
They'll kill him if they find him.
(GRUNTS) (PANTING) In here, Intensive Care, there's an armed man! Armed police! Look at me.
Your bosses wanted you out, didn't they? Talk to me.
Maybe you have children.
Maybe Maybe there's someone who you love.
Talk to me.
Tell me your name.
Tell me Tell me who you are.
(WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY) (SIRENS WAIL) (INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS) Secure the perimeter Oh, are you OK? We're needed at Steffan's house.
Gunnar Buchleitner.
His name is Gunnar Buchleitner.
Let's go.
(SPEAKS GERMAN) (PHONE RINGS) Cedric.
(SPEAKS GERMAN) Maximilian, junges.
(SIRENS BLARE) (SPEAKS GERMAN) She's finally free.
I was selfish.
That's the real curse of our times, isn't it? Selfishness.
I couldn't see .
.
my wife loved me.
Why was that never enough?
