The Runaway s01e05 Episode Script

Sometimes I feel I've got to run away I've got to get away From the pain you drive into the heart of me The love we share Seems to go nowhere But I lost my light For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night Once I ran to you Now I'll run from you The tainted love you've given I gave you all a boy could give you Now take my tears but that's not nearly all Tainted love Tainted love Come on Hiya.
Sometimes it seems like I bankroll half of Soho.
Policemen on the take, dancers from the club.
Hi.
Burn baby burn And now my darling husband's making movies.
That's it.
Beautiful.
- That's it.
Lower.
- (Pleasurable moaning) She's too busy playing happy families with my little Kitty.
Four years old and already Desrae's living doll.
How's it going? And, Eamonn I've moved on.
All right? Hi.
Thanks for the drink.
Any luck? I'm having to tread a bit carefully.
Anti-corruption.
They're all over us now.
It's not like it was.
I've had bricks through three of my shop windows.
- I know.
- I'm losing money.
And I will deal with it.
I always have.
Haven't I? Don't tell me.
You'll need more money.
It's never been about the money.
There was something else.
Look, I'm really busy, Richard.
So when did London get so hot? Tell me about it.
I get through four shirts a day.
Hm.
It's getting hotter to do business with you.
People are getting paranoid.
Would you rather not take our money, then? Oh, I'm not sure what would happen to me if I snubbed your Irish friends.
So, the boat arrives tomorrow evening from Cape Town.
I've got men at the port ready to unload.
Transport's ready.
The goods will be in London the next morning.
OK.
So, how long since you were last here? Five years.
Has it changed much? I don't know.
I'm meant to be keeping a low profile.
That's boring.
I thought you'd want to take in the sights.
Well, maybe I might be able to squeeze in one or two.
I don't want to lose you again, Eamonn.
You won't have to.
- (Cheering) - All right, my lovelies.
Are you ready for me? ALL: Yes! And are you ready for the night of your lives? ALL: Yeah! Now, young Tony and I are going to go up and down the queue and just pick a few people to go to the front.
So who'd like to go to the front? Let me see.
Let me have a look at you.
You, sir, are winning in every department.
- Go to the front of the queue.
- Oh, thank you.
Look at this cute little couple.
I'm going to corrupt you later.
Get to the front of the queue.
DONNA SUMMER: I Feel Love Ooh it's so good, it's so good, it's so good, it's so good, it's so good Ooh, heaven knows, heaven knows, heaven knows, heaven knows Ooh, I feel love, I feel love, I feel love, I feel love, I feel love Hi.
A long time.
I'm working.
Cathy, I've travelled 3,500 miles to see you.
- What did you do that for? - You wouldn't answer my calls.
I thought you'd have got the hint.
Now I'm here, maybe you could make it more clear.
Cathy.
Hey, have you got a moment? There's Eamonn, Christ! Tommy.
Nice to see you.
Yeah.
So, how's tricks? What are you up to? Movies.
Yeah, I'm directing stuff.
Erotica.
We're doing great.
And I'm busy.
So, Eamonn, I didn't expect - Cathy, I don't understand.
It's me.
- I don't have time for this.
- Talk to me.
- No.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have turned up like this.
This all a bit crazy, eh? - This is my life.
- What, all the time? Have a drink on the house.
And then you should go.
- Cathy.
- I know your stupid games, remember? Coming in here with your dick swinging.
Leave me alone.
Eamonn! Eamonn, wait.
What was that with you and Cathy? Oh, don't just You two, you look kind of I thought you and I had a deal, Tommy.
I give you money, you launder it, I pay you a fee.
- Yeah, understood.
- A fee.
A fixed percentage.
You don't start then creaming extras off the top.
Do you know what the IRA do to people who steal from them, Tommy? No.
- You need to get that money back now.
- But I've spent it.
Well, then, you're going to lose your legs, Tommy.
I just want to get it straight.
I thought you two were like brother and sister.
I never said that.
We go back a long way.
That's all.
- Yes, and what does that mean? - Nothing.
Anyway, you said you wanted something.
At the club.
What was it? Oh, yeah.
I need to get my hands on some cash.
- What for? - A business opportunity.
Go on.
- Do I have to explain myself every single time? - Yes.
My dad left me the business, OK? I don't think I think we both know what would happen if we let you run the business.
Why do you stuff that shit up your nose? Because it keeps me nimble.
Bollocks.
(Eamonn sighs) Where have you been? I had the meeting with Jan.
That finished hours ago.
Are you checking up on me? We're in the middle of a war.
Yes, you might well be.
I'm doing business.
You should be here, not me.
It should have been you locked up for all these years.
(Snorts) There she is.
Hi, Kitty.
Hiya.
Hi, Mummy.
- Well, how do we look? - You look groovy, man.
I taught her that.
Keep on trucking.
10-4, good buddy.
Now, have a seat.
(Chuckles) You're funny.
Groovy Kitty.
Look, I'm swamped.
I'm sorry.
Could you take her downstairs.
I don't have time.
Darling, I've got company.
If you know what I mean.
And I've got a business to run, if you know what I mean.
This place needs grownups.
You asked me to bring Kitty back here by 10 o'clock.
And now I'm asking you to just Do you want to deal with all this stuff? Do you? Kitty, why don't you go down to the bar and get a nice glass of juice, hm? All right? - OK.
- I'll be right here.
Oi, oi.
Oi.
(Imitates gunshot) (BIows) Buy her something.
(Door slams) (Cathy snorts) Busy? What's happened, Cathy? Your life so perfect, is it? I guess we all make our choices, don't we? Come on, Cathy.
It's me.
Why are you here? Why are you so surprised that I want to come and see you, Cathy? Come on, Cathy.
It's me.
My mum died.
Cos I changed my name, they didn't know she had a next of kin or anything.
So all there is is some paperwork.
A notice.
"To whom it may concern.
" That's it.
I'm sorry.
I always liked her, your mum.
When's the funeral? Want me to come? I'm not going.
- She's your mum.
- She was a whore.
And your dad was a drunk.
What they did to us, it We're not normal.
And I don't know why you're pretending we are.
And if I did go, I'd go with my husband.
- Yeah, right.
- Don't.
You mention his name, everybody laughs.
You don't know him.
And I'm not your little Cathy any more.
So that's it? - I just go.
- That's it.
Bye, then.
(Door shuts) All we've ever had is each other.
I can't love anyone but you.
I don't know anything about this.
Inspector, this department's been accused of endemic corruption.
Top to bottom.
I don't know anything about this.
- I have officer statements.
- I don't know anything about this.
Officers of all ranks.
Detective constables - I don't know anything - Shut up! I don't know anything about this.
Sir.
OK.
We all know the game.
We have to prove it.
And even bent coppers are innocent until proven guilty.
I hope in your dealings with Cathy Pasqualino, and the Peppermint Club, you've left nothing that might incriminate you.
Of course, if you had anything that might help an investigation into them, who knows He called again.
Wanted to know if you're coming over this afternoon.
Apparently you're being coy.
You see, Kitty Cat, some people might think that your ageing aunty here Less of the ageing, thank you very much.
is avoiding that man because he happens to be someone special, not one of her Alfie! And one might think, little lollipop, that Grandma here doesn't want to do anything that might make her genuinely happy.
She's a grieving widow.
She has a thing for black.
So '60s.
You are an idiot.
Yes.
But I'm a young idiot.
(Kitty giggles) All right, all right, we'll go out.
It'll be a disaster.
Of course it will.
That's why you can't stop smiling.
(AII three chuckle) It was a nice service.
I'm not surprised you didn't come.
I nearly didn't come at all.
Was anyone there? I'm under investigation.
I heard.
You're not my only friend in the force.
At least I'm a friend.
A friend who's always been there for you, always done everything he can for you.
I don't know what I'm going to do now.
I've only got two things in my life.
My job and Do you feel guilty, Cathy? Cos I don't.
I look at you and I see how well you've done.
What you've become.
And I've been a part of that.
I never asked you to.
I'd never have let you.
I wanted to protect you.
I didn't want you to go to prison.
I didn't want you to end up like your mother.
- You had no right.
- You were 14.
You had no right.
Look at you now.
Look at you.
You're so beautiful.
- I have to go.
- No, please, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm a bit of a mess.
Get off me, Richard! What the hell are you thinking? For 10 years you've followed me around like some stray dog.
- Why? - After everything I've done for you Everything? What? You think I should be grateful? All you've done is control me.
Used my mum, used your job.
I'm not going to let you control me any more.
I am free of you now.
Cathy.
Cathy! Bye, Richard.
OK, Candy, that is lovely, darling.
Now, Bruce.
Bruce, mate, slow it down a bit.
Nice.
OK.
Take the crucifix off.
All right.
Yep, lovely.
- Now, Bruce - Yep? Now, Bruce, move her hair, so I can see your - Perfect! - Now that's what I call art.
No, don't stop.
Keep working.
You've got debts to clear, haven't you? You know why they get you to roll up your trouser leg before they shoot you? It stops the knee from getting infected.
It means they don't have to amputate.
But seeing as you're English, they'll probably just pop you one in the back of the nut anyway.
Get the money, Tommy.
(Door opens) - Here you are.
In you go.
- Daddy! Hello there, Kitty Cat.
How's my best little girl, eh? Right, she's all yours.
- No, I can't.
You've got to keep her.
- Daddy But I'm going out and Cathy's already dropped out on me.
I've got stuff I need to do.
Well, tough.
And more importantly, how do I look? (Groans) Fine.
OK.
Right.
Got to go.
See you.
Des.
What's going on with Cathy and Eamonn? - I don't know what you're talking about, darling.
- Desrae! Nothing.
It was all five years ago.
Don't worry about it.
- What was? - Just forget about it.
Have fun, you two.
Yeah.
Smile, Daddy! Listen, honey, I've got to go some place.
OK? Who do you normally Will you be OK if if if I leave you here? No? OK, sweetheart, you stay here.
I'll be five minutes.
I want to come with you.
I know, baby, but this is work.
OK, it's not - Roll up your windows.
- Please, please, Pretty please.
Please, please OK, you can come with me, but on two conditions.
Yes! One; you can't say a word.
OK.
And two; we never, never tell Mummy about this.
- Deal? - Deal.
OK.
The main man Bruce.
He's a big guy, huh? (Laughs) Yeah, always happy to do business with the porno guys.
You sure like your cocaine, I'll give you that.
Sweetheart, come and sit down.
So like I said, this guy, he's desperate for the stuff in bulk, so we stand to make a lot of money.
- Nice one.
- Cool.
So I'll take the stuff for him, get the money and we'll split the profit nice and easy.
Whoa, whoa.
I thought I was just selling my stuff to you.
Look, I told you this on the phone.
I haven't got the cash and you haven't got the distribution.
This is why you need me.
I'm meant to just let you walk out of here with all my stuff? Oh, come on, Jonas, you know me.
I'm not going to do a runner, am I? You can't just walk out without some sort of collateral, Tommy.
Something.
- What about your car? - How do I get to the deal without a car? - Be serious.
- Erm - We take the girl.
- What? - We take the kid? - Yeah.
I don't know.
But I guess you're gonna have to come back for her then, aren't you? Five o'clock.
You'll be back by five.
- It's all there? - Yes, I did tell you.
You did.
You did.
I can't see why everyone's worrying.
These will all be in Liverpool tonight ready for the boat.
Great! So you haven't been messing about after all.
- What's with the sarcasm? - Who's your contact at the Peppermint Club? My contact? No, it's no one.
No one you need to worry about.
But people are worried about you.
Wandering all over town, seeing people we don't know, saying things we can't hear.
Hey, look.
Listen.
You can completely trust me.
Your problem, Eamonn, is that you've never seemed that dedicated to the cause.
It's always been about money and power for you.
That makes people nervous.
(Key in lock) Hi.
(Sighs) - It's hot, huh? - Yeah.
(Running water) - What? - Why have I been cut out? - What do you mean? - Before you wouldn't tell me what you were up to.
Today, I get the third degree from Driscoll.
I'm doing my job.
I'm not betraying the IRA by seeing old family friends.
- Yeah, but she's not just family, is she? - Caitlin.
You can't stop Bloody hell.
- You can't start suggesting that - You're here to work.
With me.
You're here to be with me.
Jesus, about bloody time.
What kind of outfit do you call this? Right, so it's all here.
Shit! I thought we had a deal.
(Winces) (Groans) Fuck! Fuck! Jonas! (Kitty screaming) - Daddy! - Kitty! Kitty! (Continues screaming) Let me in! Kitty! - What else? - That's it.
That's all I know.
Think.
Just think.
Jonas won't harm her, OK? He's a regular guy.
We called the police.
They know where he lives.
We'll find her, I'm sure of it.
How could you do this? How could you take our daughter? Our daughter? What? You and Eamonn.
I did the maths.
I always wondered why you got so wired whenever he turned up.
You and him, five years ago! Are you saying you did this because you thought? No! I don't know.
She's my little girl.
She's my little girl, right? Stupid! Stupid! Cathy, come on, now.
Calm down.
What were you thinking, leaving my daughter with him? - It's my fault now, is it? - He's a drug addict! Hold on.
Who were you screwing while he was selling my daughter for drugs? Don't.
You're both You're both children! I can't I can't cope I can't carry you I love Kitty and I've always treated her like she's my own.
No, you abandoned her as soon as a cheap screw minced past! She's your daughter, Cathy.
Your child! If it was just you and me in a room and Kitty came in she always ran to me, didn't she? DESRAE: You pushed us all away, Cathy.
You're not like your mother.
You're worse.
Oh, my God.
Do you know what the IRA do to people who steal from them, Tommy? No.
Seeing as you're English they'll probably pop you one in the back of the nut.
How could you do this? How could you take our daughter? Our daughter? - I can't do it.
- Yes, you can! (Monitor beeps) And I'm not your little Cathy any more.
So that's it? I just go? That's it.
(Knocking at door) Hello, Eamonn.
Normally we'd pick you up off the street.
But you're being watched, so we thought we'd come to you.
I'm DS Hargreaves, that's DC Chambers.
And you're Eamonn Docherty.
- No, that's - Don't.
Please.
We haven't got time.
Your IRA colleagues are planning to maim and murder hundreds of people.
Your girlfriend's right at the heart of it.
Is she wasn't we'd just chuck you over to Bethnal Green CID and get you locked up for the murder of Caroline Dixon.
But she is.
You want me to spy on the IRA? Yeah.
You need to stop messing around with Cathy.
You're making them all nervous.
You need to get back to the cause.
Show them what a dedicated soldier you are.
(Groans) You're going to find out when and where they're planning the next bomb.
CHAMBERS: You belong to us now.
EAMONN: They've got contacts.
People on your side.
If they find out I'm working for you, which, in time they will I can't get away with that.
- We'll pull you out if we think you're in trouble.
- What do you mean? Witness protection.
You'll disappear.
Don't worry about it.
Look, I know you're not the brightest kid on the block, but this isn't a discussion.
You can go to jail for murder or you can work for us.
And stop a terrorist atrocity.
Oh, man Oh (Sobs) You're not like your mother.
You're worse.
I heard the nurses talking in the corridor.
They think she'll be fine.
Really.
When she opens her eyes you want her seeing you do this shit, do you? - Why are you on your own? - I want to be on my own.
Why? Cathy? Look, I can't stay long.
Things have happened for me and This, well This is it for me.
I just had to come and see you before I went.
Because we're I don't know.
We're You and me.
Wherever I've been you've always been there in my head.
OK.
Well, then - Goodbye, Cathy Connor.
- I need my stuff.
- What? - My stuff, my gear.
If you're gonna go, go.
Whatever.
Go.
- Just give me my bloody stuff.
- What's the matter with you? What's the matter? Everything's the matter.
Everything.
Just everything.
I'm a terrible mum.
I'm a lousy wife.
Can't get through the day without coke.
(Sobs) I can't think of a thing in my life that isn't totally screwed up.
You'll be OK.
Tommy's a wally but he's a good guy.
Kitty will be fine.
It's just dehydration.
She'll make a full recovery.
She's yours.
She's your child.
I wanted to call her Daisy.
After Daisy Edwards, that girl that lived next to the pub.
You know the one you used to tease? I thought it could be a clue for you.
But Tommy wanted Kitty.
And I needed him to believe she was his, so Things were supposed to get easier the longer you were away.
I can't pretend I'm coping.
I can't pretend I can live without you.
Don't you dare leave.
Not again.
I need you to stay.
Please.
Stay with me and your daughter.
