Girlfriends (2018) s01e06 Episode Script

What? Where am I? Oh, Linda! Phone! Linda.
Where's your phone, it's ringing? On the table.
Oh, yeah, Linda's phone.
Me gustaria hablar con Linda Hutchinson por favor? Oh, yes, she's right here, I'll put her on.
It's the Spanish police.
Right, listen to what he says, but don't say anything back to him, all right? Right.
Hello.
Yeah, yeah all right.
Just I just I'm not very good with directions, but I'll try to find it.
I've been bitten all over.
Is that the same as "Municipal" in English? Look at the size of that one.
I told you to sleep under the sheet.
I'll see if I've got anything.
It was too hot.
Thanks.
Ta-ra.
We should've kept the air conditioning on.
It made too much noise, it's all right for you, you had ear plugs in.
So we have to go to "Policia Municipal Calle Carbonell", he said it's just over the road from the Mercadona, whatever that is.
We'll have to stop at a chemist on our way, these are gonna drive me mad.
Do you know if breakfast is included? I don't think I can eat anything, my stomach's churning.
I thought you said you'd be happy to see him on the slab? Yeah, I will, I just I don't want to see his face again.
I don't know how you could keep it from us all these years.
It's not the sort of thing you brag about, is it? I always thought you and Micky had this perfect marriage.
So did I, I thought you adored each other.
I used to say to Dave, why can't you be more like Micky? He's funny, affectionate, he helps round the house, he's good with his hands.
Like punching me in the face if I said something wrong.
You know I said I I bust my lip and broke my front tooth slipping in the bath? Well, I didn't.
Oh, my God.
That was only a couple of years ago.
I remember you getting that crown fitted.
That all started cos we'd been out with Cath and Pete and I'd said that he was too old to get another motorbike.
Well, we had this massive row in the car and he just punched me in the face.
There was blood everywhere, it was all over the seats.
That is shocking.
Why didn't you report him to the police? He should've been locked up.
It's not as easy as that.
I was frightened of him.
He had such a temper on him, he could just snap at nothing.
If he found out I'd have gone to the police, he'd have made my life a misery.
It sounds like it was a misery anyway.
It wasn't all the time, sometimes he could he could be nice, especially in front of other people.
It was mainly when he drank and we were alone.
'But I thought he'd be able to hold it together on the cruise.
' I don't even know the man.
It's a nice thing he's asked us to sit on his table, it's an honour.
I'd rather just go to t'buffet and not have somebody watching what I'm eating.
He's not gonna be watching what you're eating, silly.
We've said we're going now, so Are you having another one of them? You're counting how many drinks I'm having now, are you? It would be nice if you weren't drunk at dinner and said thank you to the captain for upgrading us to a balcony suite.
We still had to pay nearly a grand for this poxy room.
You're so ungrateful.
And you didn't have to pay it.
Our Ryan and Ruby clubbed together, bless them.
Here we go, everybody's a bloody saint.
It's just me who's the bad bastard, eh? Get off me! I didn't mean it like that, it was their anniversary present.
Who's put food on the table and a roof over your head all these years? You're hurting me! Please.
I'm sorry.
And who married you when you were pregnant with some other bastard's baby and brought him up as my own? No-one said thank you to me! Where are you going? Ryan! Ryan! Excuse me.
What's the matter? Your dad's in one of his moods again.
What's he done? Come on, we'll go outside.
Mum? Oh, my God.
I can't stand this.
It's gone on long enough.
You're gonna have to leave him or He won't let me leave him and he won't leave me.
Oh, Mam.
Anything can happen at sea, accidents happen all the time, people fall overboard, people fall down ventilation shafts.
What are you saying? I don't know.
I haven't figured it out yet.
But for now we just pretend like nothing's happened, we go in there, we get your wrap.
What are you doing sat there watching telly, Dad? It's the last night of your holiday.
Come on, I want to buy you both a proper drink before you watch the show.
You all right, Mam? Yes.
It's freezing up here.
I mean, no wonder there's no-one on this deck, it's a bloody wind tunnel.
Yeah, but you get great views.
Right, let's get one of the pair of you waving ta-ra to Spain.
Come on, then.
Hey, viva Espana! Bye! Whoa! What are you doing? Nothing.
My mam's wrap was just falling off her shoulder, that's all.
Right, I'd best go check on the dancers.
All right.
See you later.
Do you really think he'd have pushed him overboard? Yeah, I do, I was terrified he was gonna do it.
My heart was thumping.
It would've been a solution though.
But Ryan's got the rest of his life in front of him.
What I don't understand is, if Micky isn't Ryan's father, who is? Do you remember that lad we met at Greenham Common? What lad? They were nearly all women.
Gordon.
I never found out his last name.
Gordon? Gordon! Yeah, I remember him.
I really liked him, but Micky came and picked me up on his motorbike and I never saw him again.
Micky never let me forget that he wasn't Ryan's dad though.
He used to pick on him all the time, that's why he left home at 17.
Sometimes I'm glad I never got married.
Right, come on.
We'd better get moving if we're gonna find that police station.
Yeah.
I'm glad you pushed him overboard.
So am I.
The sea was too good for him though.
I wish you'd have told us.
I didn't want to tell anyone cos .
.
I felt like a failure.
You are not a failure! And you're not a murderer either.
You're just a a woman who's reached the end of her tether.
So this is the Avenida de Calpe, so Calle Carbonell should be just down here and to the right.
There must be a chemist somewhere.
Well, this isn't it.
It's the sea.
Well I don't understand how it's gone wrong.
Oh, give us it here.
I'm thirsty.
I need a drink.
We haven't got time.
We can have a drink when we've been to the police station.
I meant water, I'm thirsty.
We're at the wrong end of the street, we walked the wrong way.
You had your phone upside down.
Excuse me, could I have some water, please? Agua, con o sin gas? Sorry.
I don't speak Spanish.
Water, comes out of the tap.
Si.
Agua.
Thank you.
And trust me you need at least factor 30.
Oh, God.
Oh, my God, he's in there, Micky.
I just turned round and he was sat there.
Slow down.
Slow down, he can't be in there.
He's dead.
I swear to God, he's in there.
He's at the back, talking to some woman, go and have a look.
Don't worry.
Don't worry.
We'll go and have a look.
Calm down, calm down.
We'll go in.
I can't see anyone who even remotely looks like him in here.
I think it must be her brain playing tricks on her.
She dreamt about him the other night, thought he was alive on the slab.
You don't think she's having a breakdown? She could be, she's been through a lot.
Come on.
Let's go.
He was stood right there, talking to that woman.
I swear to God.
Well, look, no-one has moved since we've been in here and that's not Micky.
Ahhh! Oh! Are you all right? Linda? Agua.
Thank you.
Right, we have now got 15 minutes to find this bloody police station.
Come on! There it is.
I've changed my mind, I don't want to do it.
I know you don't, but you've got to, love.
That's why we're here.
We'll be right there with you.
15 minutes and it'll be all over and done with and we'll be on the beach having cocktails.
Come on, love.
Come on.
Mrs Hutchinson, please.
We are right with you.
I have told you once, I won't tell you again.
No.
No.
No.
Do not come to the port.
There is no point.
'Micky? What's happening, Micky? What was that noise? Can you hear me? Micky? Micky? Are you there?' Yes, is this your husband? Come and sit down.
I can't tell, his face is all Can you unzip it a bit further? I need to see his arm, he had a tattoo.
Yeah, it's him.
Oh, thank God, can we go now? Come on, get up.
Please read that and then sign.
I can't read it, I haven't brought my glasses.
Here.
Borrow mine.
I'll be outside.
Thanks.
That was the most horrible thing I have seen in my whole life, he was all It was truly vile.
Oh, Linda, love.
Are you all right? I don't know how you held it together in there.
That's the worst bit over now so I have to pay 380 euros for them to cremate his body.
No way.
I don't know how I'm going to afford that.
We'll sort it.
And I have to give this form to the registrar either over here or in England, and then I get the death certificate.
Oh, fantastic, don't worry about the money.
We'll tell Andrew, and maybe he can get the cruise ship to pay it.
I know it was awful, but now you've seen him with your own eyes, dead as a dodo, you can start putting your life back together again.
Yeah.
There is just one thing.
What is it? It wasn't him.
Why did you say it was him, if it wasn't? I just want the whole thing over and done with.
It was the tattoo that nailed it, it was a ship and not my name.
Oh, it's Ruby.
Shit, she's facetiming.
I don't know how to What do I do? Nothing, just answer it.
Just press that.
Oh, there she is.
Hello, love.
'Hiya.
You said you'd ring me to let me know how it went?' It was fine.
I was a bit nervous, but everything went all right.
Was it my dad? Yeah, but he looked just like he was asleep.
Well, I'll have to come over then, I'll see if I can get a flight.
No, I wouldn't do that love, no.
They might not release his body, there's all sorts of things they have to do now I've identified him.
Will you let me know if they do? Tom's here, he wants to say hello.
I'll pass his mam on.
Hiya.
'What's it like out there?' Boiling hot and I've been bitten to buggery.
How's your nana? All right, I think.
Me and Ben stayed at Ruby's last night.
Dave's looking after her.
Me and Ruby are gonna go look round Dave's flat tonight.
Oh.
Good.
'Anyway, when do you get back?' We're only booked into the hotel for two nights.
I'll ring you as soon as I know for definite.
I'll speak to you later.
'Bye.
' Bye! Oh, God.
Last thing we need is Ruby rocking up.
Right, first thing tomorrow we cremate that body, I've got a card, I'll pay the 380.
Come on.
Let's get a drink.
Yeah.
Now, girlfriends, we are going to enjoy our little mini break.
Mmm.
Oh, that is bloody gorgeous.
Now we can start to relax.
Do you think they've got an ordinary toilet? Yeah, like in the hotel.
Just look for the, you know senorita.
What do you think we should do? Absolutely nothing.
What if they find out it's not his body? How are they gonna do that, then? I don't know, but on these television programmes when somebody gets killed, they always find out who did it.
Ow! Bitch! Bet you didn't expect to see me, did you? I knew you'd turn up when they found that body.
What do you want? Justice.
For what? You tried to bloody kill me! It's nothing short of a miracle I'm still alive.
You could get 15 years for that.
Attempted murder.
I couldn't take any more, Micky, I snapped, I'm sorry.
Why didn't you just leave me? You could've gone off with that Carole.
Carole who? You were on the phone to her when I came back to the cabin.
Oh, her, she's mental.
She Who gives a shit about her? She's just some deluded groupie.
Yeah, there's been women who've come on to me big time, but you're my wife.
Well, I'm not any more.
Yes, you are, for better, for worse, till death do us part.
I don't want fish.
It could be one of them that ate half of Micky's head.
I don't think I'll ever eat fish again.
And I can't read this, Linda's still got my glasses.
Where is she? She's been gone ages.
I'll go and check she's not stuck in the toilet, she's done that before.
Hola.
I'd like another large G and T, please.
Linda? Linda? We're having a girly couple of days.
Bueno.
And you leave husbands back in the UK? Oh.
We don't do husbands, we're all three of us, footloose and fancy free.
She's not there.
What do you mean she's not there? Like I said, there's two cubicles and she's in neither.
Well, she can't just've disappeared.
We will be back.
We've been lookin' for you.
What the hell are you doing? He's alive, he's been watching us.
Oh, fuck.
Shit.
It was him in the bar this morning.
And another thing, I've wet myself.
So what does he want? The insurance money.
Did you tell him the insurance company don't want to pay out.
Yeah, but he doesn't believe me, he thinks I'm lying.
He thinks that's how I afforded to come here and stay in a hotel.
Does he know about the cruise company money? No, or he'd want that as well.
How come he survived? A fishing boat picked him up.
He doesn't remember much, just being pulled out of the sea.
Bastards.
I knew something'd go wrong.
Well, I've got a plan.
I'm glad someone has.
What have you told him? What does he think we know? He thinks I identified the body and told you it was him.
Great, perfect.
So you arrange to meet him.
No! Shut up Gail, I haven't finished.
He wants me to go to this bar tonight down by the marina where he plays.
Good.
No, No, it's not good! It's bloody crazy! We're all gonna end up in trouble.
You are gonna go to this bar and you'll sit down with him all nicey nicey.
You're gonna buy him a drink and then we drug him.
What? No.
No.
I'm not doing nothing like that.
Just count me out.
You don't have to do anything.
I'll do it.
All you have to do, Linda, is get him a drink.
What kind of drink? This is gonna go all wrong, I can tell.
Beer, sangria, anything.
And then what? Then we put the drugs in his drink, wait for them to kick in and then we we push him in the sea or just leave him somewhere to die.
I don't believe you just said that.
Where we gonna get drugs? Don't use them all, I might need a couple tonight if we're having the air con on.
I'm not getting bitten to death again.
I've got 38 bites.
You've got a whole bottle of them, I've only used ten.
Pass us that plastic bag they gave us at the airport.
You do realise this is murder? How can it be murder if he's already dead, lost at sea? You identified him.
Yeah that's right, I did.
Well, he can't die twice, can he? I'm not asking you to do anything.
Go back to the hotel if you want.
You're not needed.
I'm just telling you like it is.
Look I don't want either of you getting into trouble.
I got myself into this and I'm gonna get myself out of it.
Right, Linda.
We are doing this.
And that's an end to it.
If Gail doesn't want to be part of it I never said that.
Yeah, you did.
No.
I didn't.
You did actually, that's exactly what you said.
Does your HRT patch need changing or something? Oh! Please don't.
Do you know what, I'm going to have to go and buy myself some cigarettes because otherwise I'm going to end up No.
No.
No you're not.
You've been so good, you've done really well.
I'm really sorry, I'm just not as brave as you are.
I'm just shit scared, that's all.
Oh, God.
So am I.
Me, too.
I'm sorry.
Right.
I've decided.
I'll go and meet him by myself and put the powder in his drink.
How are you going to do that, then? I don't know, I'll think of something and when I've done it I'll text you and we'll meet up.
What are you going to do with him, then? I'll think of something.
Right.
So you're just gonna leave him to die in the bar, are you? Where everybody will have seen you with him.
Yeah, that's a really great idea.
I didn't think of that.
I think we should just go home now and and quit while we're ahead.
I mean.
what's he gonna do? Go to the police, tell them I tried to kill him.
Oh, really? Really.
I think you two should wait somewhere round here.
If he sees you, he'll know we're up to something.
Yeah, all right.
Ta-ra.
Bye.
Be careful.
We won't be far away if you need us.
I know.
I know.
Oh, I need the stuff, the stuff, the sleeping tablets.
There you go.
And remember agua y una cerveza.
Agua y una cerveza.
That should do it.
Yeah.
Right.
I've got this terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach something's going to go terribly wrong.
No, it's not, have faith.
Right, now we need to go and hire a car.
Quatro, siete, zero, uno.
Your credit card and if you can please sign here? Andrew.
I'm just in the middle of renting a car, darling.
'Well, who you using? Are they reputable?' Well, how do I know if they're a reputable company? They're cheap, that's the main thing.
I just rang to tell you that the cruise company have settled, the money's gone into Linda's bank account.
Oh, that's fantastic.
Oh, and they've offered her two complementary cabins on the ship.
Really, when? They embark tomorrow late morning from Malaga.
It's up to you.
it's a goodwill gesture or you can just get the flight home.
Belle, Belle, Belle that's Daddy's, yeah.
Is Belle there? Will you put her on? It's Granny.
Hello, sweetheart.
Hello.
'Are you at your great grandma's? That's lovely.
' I'm gonna bring you and Sam back a lovely present.
Is there anything special that you want? Mum.
Mum, they don't they don't need anything, they've got everything.
Just bring yourself home safe and sound.
Oh, darling, that's a lovely thing to say.
And drive carefully.
Please.
II will.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Do you know, I think we've turned a corner.
That's great.
Right.
I think that's everything we need.
I'll bring the car to you now.
Oh, thanks.
We'll be out there on the front.
Of course.
There you go.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
I'm gonna get a drink now cos I'm a bit parched after all that singing.
I'm Raymondo and I'll be back later on though after this short break.
Thank you.
I bought you a drink.
Oh, cheers.
So you go as Raymondo now? Jesus, the beer's getting worse in this place.
I don't think they ever clean the bloody pumps.
Hey.
Come on.
Yeah, when I came round in the hospital, this nurse called me Raymondo cos I reminded her of her dad and afterwards I thought I'd just go along with it.
So, you were making a new life for yourself? Well, the old one wasn't much cop, was it? I get by on what I get doing these gigs.
It's all cash in hand, and I've got no worries.
But now I'm gonna have all this insurance money.
There you go, Raymondo.
Cheers, mate.
So, come on, how much did we get? All of it.
Bloody hell.
So if we went to a cashpoint now we could just draw it out? We could.
But I haven't got my card wi' me.
Well, where is it? Back at the hotel.
Well, I'll do this next set and we'll head back to the hotel, yeah? It's been over an hour and we haven't heard a dicky bird.
Have you seen these? I'll have this big case and that tan handbag, please.
That will be sixty euros, madam.
That will definitely have to go in the hold.
Have you any idea of the price of the real ones? Gracias.
Oh, it's her.
What? What's wrong? Oh, no! I'll have to phone her.
Hiya.
It's Linda.
Yes, Linda, I know it's you.
I rang you.
What's going on? He said the beer tasted funny and took it back.
The barman threw it away.
What! All that work and all those tablets.
What's she saying? Is that him singing in the background? Yeah.
He's gonna finish this set and he's coming back to the hotel with me.
I told him my credit card was there.
He thinks I've got money in my account.
What? they've already paid it? Oh, that's fantastic.
I'll be back same time next week.
Over and out.
But he's not getting one penny piece of it.
Can you go back to the hotel room and grind up some more pills? And I'll meet you there.
I have to go, he's coming back.
Yeah, cheers.
Sweet.
See you next week, big guy.
Yeah, Thanks.
Cheers.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Who was that? Just Ruby, asking how I was.
Oh my baby, bless her.
I miss her.
Right, well, shall we head back to your hotel and get this money sorted out? I think they drive on the right in Spain.
Shit.
Slow down! Do you want to drive? If you want to wait in the bar, I'll go and get my card.
I'll come up wi' you.
I'd rather you wait in the bar.
I won't do anything if that's what you're frightened of.
I'm not frightened, it's just I'm sharing a room with Gail and Sue and they might be up there and they think you're dead.
Right.
OK.
Don't be long.
I just couldn't work out which way to go round the roundabout, that's all.
Shit, it's him.
Oh bollocks, it is him.
Oh, dear God, don't look at him.
Keep your head down, just keep walking.
What floor? What floor? Oh, no idea, I've forgotten.
Four, it was definitely four, or it could've been six.
Let's start with four.
I've forgotten.
Oh! Linda! He's downstairs.
I know.
We saw him.
Are you all right? I don't know.
I think so.
What am I going to do? I can't drug him, with him sitting there watching me.
Let's just grab our things and make a run for it.
Quit while we're ahead.
You took long enough.
They were in the room so I had to make up an excuse.
Have you got your card? Yeah.
But I'd like a drink first.
We need to talk about how we're gonna do this.
So if you could get me a drink? I can't afford to.
How did you afford your whiskey, then? With me wage.
But it's got to last me all week.
I can't go flashing it about, I've got to live.
We'll have plenty of money when we've been to the cashpoint.
I'll have a whiskey and coke, please.
Whisky and coke, please, mate.
I think she's doing it right now.
I just hope he drinks it this time.
It's right, that.
Thank you.
So we'll finish these and then there's a hole in the wall just round the corner.
They might not let me draw it all out at once.
We'll draw out as much as we can, and then we'll do another load tomorrow.
How long are you here for? We leave tomorrow.
We'll have to do t'second one first thing in the morning, then.
Does it have to be cash? Course, I don't exist, remember.
I'm under the radar.
Are you right? I'm just gonna finish my drink.
Well, don't take all night.
I won't.
Ha! It's alright for some, eh, staying in swanky hotels? It's just for two nights.
So .
.
why didn't you ring the police? Tell them what I did and come back to England? To a load of debt and a wife that tried to murder me? No thanks.
If you're gonna be all night drinking that, I'm gonna get myself another one.
My treat.
Oh! Jesus! That stuff must be strong.
It's gone straight to my head.
Must be working.
I'm all right, I just want another drink.
Oh, I think you've had enough.
He is drunk, right? I'm not fucking drunk! You've had a lot, Raymondo.
I told him not to drink any more.
Is he your husband? No.
He's just a friend, but it's all right he's staying here.
There you are, we've been looking for you.
Is he pissed again? Oh, yeah.
I'm afraid so.
We'd better get him up to his room.
He's been knocking 'em back all day.
Do you need a hand? No, it's all right, we'll manage between us.
Are you sure? I can ring for the No, fine, honestly.
I can't see properly.
What did we say about drinking on an empty stomach? I'll put the air conditioning on before I pass out, it's boiling hot in here.
To say, he's only thin, he weighs a bloody ton.
How do we tell when he's dead? I don't know.
Strangely enough, I've never killed anyone before.
I'd never even seen a dead body till today.
I suppose it's when he stops breathing.
Is he breathing now? Oh, I need a mirror.
There's one in my bag.
Right.
What are you doing? Looking for somewhere to dump the body.
Oh.
It's our Ruby again.
She's facetiming.
Don't answer it.
Leave it! I've got to answer it or she'll be worried.
Go by the window.
So she can't see the bed.
Hiya, love.
Hiya.
I didn't think you were gonna answer.
Ryan's been trying to get hold of you.
His ship's just docked and he thought he'd come and see you.
Really? God, that's all we need.
Tell him he can't.
Oh.
That's nice.
Is that Sue and auntie Gail I can hear? Yeah, they're We're going out.
They're just getting ready to go out for something to eat.
Perhaps we can meet up with him somewhere, I'll give him a ring.
'I told him it was dad's body cos he wanted to know.
I think he's all right though, I think I think a bit of him was relieved.
Yeah, he will be.
At least we know where he is now.
We're all missing you.
Is it a nice room? Can you show me? Just getting dressed! No! It's a bit difficult just now.
Sue's stood there in her underwear.
Ooh! What was that? Oh Sue's just dropped her make-up bag.
No.
The room's basic, clean though.
Oh, the mozzies got in last night and Gail got bitten to death.
So we're gonna have to have the air con on tonight.
Anyway, I'd better go, love.
Our Ryan might be trying to get hold of me.
Yeah, well.
Give our love to everyone.
Bye, love!!! Bye! Bye! Bye! I don't know how you did that.
I heard something crack, I hope it's not one of his legs.
Well, he won't be needing them now, will he? Hiya.
Hiya.
Going anywhere nice? Just a little restaurant round the corner.
Oh, lovely.
We're leaving very early in the morning.
We've got a cruise booked.
So we're loading up the car tonight.
It's really heavy though.
Oh, bloody hell, what've you got in here, a dead body? Shoes.
