The Runaway s01e06 Episode Script

Let go of me! Help! Don't worry, you'll be safe with me.
Desrae gets very attached to people I'd hate to see him get hurt.
Oh, my He's changed.
You think you know me?! I want her to move to New York with me.
I want her to be with me.
I've written her a letter here, explaining things.
Please see that she gets it.
I'm expecting his baby, Eamonn.
Don't ring here again.
Fuck off! She's your daughter, Cathy.
Your child! Do you want to deal with all this stuff? Do you? How could you do this? How could you take our daughter?! Our daughter?! You and him, five years ago! You're not like your mother.
You're worse.
Your problem, Eamonn, is that you never seemed dedicated to the cause.
I'm not betraying the IRA by seeing old family friends.
But she's not just family, is she? You want me to spy on the IRA? You can go to jail for murder or you can work for us and stop the terrorist atrocity.
You've always been there in my head.
She's yours.
She's your child.
Don't you dare leave.
Not again.
She loves it here.
So do I.
We're bringing you back.
I see.
This Thursday at noon.
Be ready.
We have to go back.
Do you know why? Things are moving again.
What do they want you to do? I don't know.
Serve them Sean Carty's head on a plate? Oh, God, Eamonn.
I can't bear to lose you again.
This is our chance to be together, once and for all, Cathy.
New lives.
New identities.
A safe house somewhere.
What about our old lives? We leave them behind.
I can't go back to the States.
We're gonna need money.
And we should get married.
Really? Yes.
Spell your name.
K I T-T Y.
Why didn't you tell me Eamonn came looking for me? It was not a comfortable meeting between us.
What do you mean? He hurt me.
What did he do? It was five years ago.
What's the point? What's the point? The point is that I thought he'd abandoned me when he hadn't.
The point is that I would have gone with him, had his child, with him, and not brought Tommy into it at all.
When will you take responsibility for yourself? Take responsibility for your actions, the heartache you caused? I am not to blame for Tommy's death.
What goes around comes around, darling.
What do you mean by that? You both seem to think its alright to take another person's life and not pay any price for it.
Eamonn's asked me to marry him.
Oh, Christ, Cathy! And I've said yes.
Oh! Our colleagues in the RUC say Sean Carty is part of the Army Council.
Frankly, it's a surprise to us that he's in the country, especially if he's involved in an active cell.
It suggests something big is going to happen.
We need to locate them, find out what's being planned.
We need to thwart them on the one hand, incriminate them on the other.
Is that all? You think this is funny? Bombs in Guilford, in Birmingham.
In London at the Old Bailey, at King's Cross, Euston.
No.
That's not funny.
It's just not gonna be easy.
Well, no one said it was.
I'm marrying him and I'm selling up, Desrae, and I'm going.
What do you mean, selling up? I have to raise as much money as I can.
Selling what exactly? The flat.
The shops.
Everything Joey left to Tommy and Tommy left to me.
All the property? Yes.
Including this building? Kitty, come on, we're going.
I don't want to.
We're going! I'm getting married.
Protective custody has to be for me, my wife-to-be and our child.
Well, that depends on how useful you prove to be.
Murder is the highest crime on the statute books, Mr Docherty.
It's a devil of a job to get something like that to go away.
We need something substantial in return.
How will you establish contact with Moore and Carty? The small ads in the London evening paper.
I wish you luck.
You'll be staying there.
Your contact will be the night porter.
Here, take that.
It has all the appropriate wallet litter to support your account of what you've been doing for a few weeks.
Put out a sign.
The club is closed.
Better open that rag at the jobs page, my darling.
Sister, slow down.
Pack up the false tits.
You're out on the streets.
What do you mean? The club is closed! The Peppermint is no more.
Over.
Finished! What happened? She's selling up.
Selling my house from under me and running off with that psychotic bastard! I can't do this any more.
I can't run this place without her.
Sister, you need to calm down.
No.
Fuck it! I've made up my mind.
This place can crumble and fall for all I care.
Put a sign up on the door.
This place is closed.
Forever.
I need to talk to you.
Desrae's closed the club.
For good, he says.
That's his decision.
He's distraught.
Do we have to talk about this now? I've got things to do.
Like what? Sell Desrae's home from under him? He's a sitting tenant.
He'll be fine And what am I supposed to do? Go back out on the streets? I'm a little old for the meat rack, darling.
You'll think of something.
Why are you being like this? Like what? Such a Cruella.
It don't suit you.
I have a chance at happiness, Alfie.
I have to take it.
At what cost? Do you think it's Vegas every minute for us? It's not.
Under these false eyelashes we are thinking, feeling people.
You think I don't know that? I've lived in Soho since I was 14.
Mummy.
Kitty Cat.
Come here for a cuddle.
You owe that man your life.
Yep? I come about your ad in the paper.
That was quick.
It's good to have you back.
I've been worried about you.
So where have you been these past few weeks? I told you.
Not to my face.
To your face? What's so special about your face? So why are you staying here? Are you broke? Just keeping a low profile.
Very low.
You got any cash? Help yourself.
So you've eaten at La Capellio? Hmm.
On your own? Sadly.
Wild boar? Very exotic.
No, it's just pork, really.
Maybe you should take De Bootman there.
Is Jan in England? On his way.
As is the merchandise.
He'll only deal with you, Eamonn.
He likes you for some reason.
Well, no accounting for taste, eh? When is he getting here? We'll let you know.
So, how do I look? Like Myra Hindley.
And here was me thinking Jayne Mansfield.
You seem different.
Really? Softer somehow.
You know, there's war in Rhodesia, war in Angola.
War in Ethiopia, war in Mozambique.
Business is thriving.
You are, without a doubt, the fastest eater I've seen in my life.
You take your time, huh? I was taught to chew every mouthful, 32 times.
Your mother was a wise woman.
I barely knew her.
It was my dad.
Ah.
Then he was a very controlling man, huh? That's a very different situation.
So, the merchandise will be here on Sunday.
Where's it coming in? Just Just tell them Sunday.
That's all they need to know at the moment.
And here is to many more lucrative deals.
Hello, darling.
Give Mummy a kiss.
How was she? Everything was fine.
Thank you.
Oh, so I'm now shut out of Kitty's life too, am I? Not in front of her, please.
Just like I'm shut out the club, shut out of the flat.
It was your decision to close the club.
Had nothing to do with me I hope he's worth it.
Put this on.
Why? Because I don't want you to see where we're taking you.
Why? Put it on, Eamonn.
It's just a precaution.
Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this to me? We just want you to have some time to think.
Time to consider your position.
Fuck you.
Caitlin, please.
You can't do this.
I was ten when I made my first bomb.
Little bit of weed killer, some icing sugar.
It made a fantastic explosive, but it was extremely unstable.
This stuff, on the other hand, is very stable.
So you can just relax.
Where is he? I don't know.
I wanted you both to attend Mass.
I know.
Where is he? Cut him down.
Wake up.
Wake the fuck up! It's time we had a talk.
How long have we worked together, Eamonn? Um It's over five years.
Right.
And yet you've never taken an oath of allegiance.
He's a gangster.
Doesn't have a political bone in his body.
Yeah, don't go forgetting that.
What? Just remember I'm as capable of putting a bullet in your heads as you are in mine.
Not right now, you're not.
That's the spirit, what we've been missing.
A bit of spunk.
A bit of the old swagger.
Fuck you and all.
Do you know what the first three orders are in the Green Book? Volunteers should not succumb to approaches or overtures, blackmail or bribery attempts made by the enemy, and should report such attempts as soon as possible.
Have you been approached, Eamonn? No.
Volunteers found guilty of treason face the death penalty.
Are you working for the Branch, Eamonn? For the what? The peelers.
Caitlin thinks that you've been acting in a decidedly guilty manner of late.
This is not funny.
Yes, it is funny.
And why's that? I have been feeling guilty.
Go on.
Because for the last month or so, I've been having an affair.
Who with? I don't want you going anywhere near her.
Cathy.
The Army, as an organisation, claims and expects total allegiance without reservation.
Do you understand that? What about Jan de Bootman? Does he share your misgivings? No.
Maybe you should listen him, especially if you want to keep your supply lines open.
We had to test you.
You understand that.
You'd have done the same thing yourself.
Next time I think I'd rather sit the written exam.
Now fuckin' untie me.
Toilet's through there.
Get yourself cleaned up.
He must think I came up the Lagan in a bubble.
You don't believe him? Do you? Can she stay here with you? You are unbelievable.
I don't think she's safe with me.
Why? I was supposed to meet Eamonn today.
And he didn't turn up.
I think he's in trouble.
I don't want to know.
I really don't.
What makes you think you can swan in here after everything you've done? It's not for me.
It's for Kitty.
Oh, please, Cathy.
It's just the same thing.
Why did you close the club? Why do you think? You tell me.
The Peppermint was ours.
Not mine.
And I can't bear the thought of it without you.
If you love me, you'll support me in what I'm doing.
It's because I love you that I don't! He's changed.
People don't change, Cathy.
Don't you understand that? It felt like we were heading south.
I don't know why.
It just did.
Definitely crossed a bridge.
Took maybe an hour to get there.
'A warehouse, factory.
Disused, I think.
' 'Clocked a name.
Donald Charles and Sons.
' That's excellent work.
Who was there? Sean Carty, Caitlin Moore.
Driscoll.
If Driscoll's involved, it's serious.
He's one of their top explosives officers.
Yeah, the other cell members I didn't recognise.
We'll get you in, show you some photographs.
When? In a day or two.
We'll put the place under observation.
Don't do anything until I'm out.
Of course not.
They already suspect me.
They'll know I'm the grass.
Nothing will happen for a day or two.
I stuck to my side of the bargain.
Absolutely.
You stick to yours.
We'll look after you.
We won't leave you flapping in the breeze.
The three of us.
Cathy, the girl and me? Of course.
Just sit tight at the hotel.
We'll be in touch.
They don't trust him.
He's useless to us.
Let's go.
'It's over, Cathy.
' I've given them what they wanted.
So we can leave? Well, I have to go and look at some photos, but basically, yes.
We are in the clear.
I've been so worried.
Do you have any idea where we'll be going? They didn't give any details, did they? Do you know what? I don't care.
They can put us where they like, as long as we're all together.
I feel the same.
I, Eamonn, take you, Cathy, to be my wife.
In the presence of God and and before these witnesses I promise to be a loyal, loving, faithful husband to you.
Hello, my darling.
For as long as we both shall live.
By the power that Christ brought from heaven, mayst thou love me.
As the sun follows its course, mayst thou follow me.
As light to the eye, as bread to the hungry, as joy to the heart may thy presence be with me, O one that I love, till death comes to part us asunder.
Thank you.
Oh, any excuse to get me glad rags on.

" Cathy, please say you understand.
I understand.
OK.
We'll leave together at eleven.
I love you both.
Where's Kitty? I can't go, Eamonn.
What? Why do we have to run? What happened to the deal you made? They fucked me over.
They took what I gave them and acted on it.
Made arrests, everything.
Why would they do that to you? Because they are complete bastards.
They got what they needed.
They don't need me any more.
We have to go, Cathy.
You have to come with me.
You're my wife.
We've just been kidding ourselves, Eamonn.
Why do you say that? Thinking we could ever That we would ever have the things other people have.
Cathy, please.
I can't.
I can't run away again.
I can't do that to Kitty.
If it was just me, I would.
I honestly would.
But I can't risk her again.
Not after what happened before.
I'm scared for you, Eamonn.
Really scared.
I have to go.
Take this.
It will keep you safe.
Maybe when it's safe, you can come and join me, both of you? Yeah, maybe.
