Hunted s01e08 Episode Script
Snow Maiden
Katherine Morton? My mother.
You need to remember what you saw before it's too late.
Four months before the dam was due to open, a natural disaster struck Gedawar.
Polyhedrus exterminated 600 people.
We're working for a mass murderer? Doctor, what's in the case? Evidence.
Turner gave him a decoy.
The real case never left, it's still in the library.
I'm told Jack Turner has evidence incriminating Polyhedrus.
Jack Turner is to be eliminated.
Facing one's own mortality is frightening, but it's also an opportunity to find meaning in one's life.
Hey, Alex, I've almost finished your book.
Enjoying it? How does it end? You don't want me to tell you that.
That would spoil it.
Why come to me and not Aidan? This opens a safe-deposit box.
His MI6 file's inside.
I'm sorry, you trusted me, it cost us our child.
Sam Hunter.
I'm supposed to be hunting her, not the other way round.
You came to my home, what is it you want from me? I need you to bring Sam to me so I can talk to her without him knowing.
She's being paid to screw you.
She's a planta professional.
Whatever she's done, you don't hurt her.
I promise.
Once upon a time, there lived a poor and lonely soldier's wife.
One day, while out gathering wood, the wife built a maiden out of snow.
"If only you were real," she sighed, "how I would love and treasure you.
" The Frost Queen heard the wife's wish and she promised to turn the Snow Maiden into a real girl, but with one condition - in place of her heart, she shall have an icicle.
With that, the maiden magically came to life.
"If she ever steps outside this forest", the Frost Queen warned, "the ice will melt and she will die.
" For many years, the Snow Maiden and the wife lived together.
But then one day, the wife died.
And the Snow Maiden was sad and wandered the forest until she came upon a young boy from the village, lost in the woods.
Taking pity, the Snow Maiden led him to the edge of the forest.
If she walked any further, she knew her heart of ice would melt.
The Snow Maiden looked in the boy's eyes and knew what she must do.
She took the boy to his father.
As she watched these two happy souls, her heart of ice melted.
And she died.
Let me out! Let me out! Why the change in orders? I don't know.
Just make sure you're not in the car when they leave the party.
Don't tell me you're upset about Jack Turner.
It's not Jack.
It'sthat little boy's been through hell.
You care about him, don't you? What about the case? You're to retrieve it immediately after.
Zoe thinks there must be a wall safe here.
Three video eyes and none of them found it.
Yeah, bad luck for us.
You realise this op may be the only reason our client hasn't killed you yet.
I realise.
It ends today, Sam.
You don't have any more time to remember what it was you saw.
When .
.
when I found out I was going to be a mother .
.
I started thinking .
.
about all the things that I hadn't thought about in a long time.
Things that I didn't want to remember, ever again.
And now you're telling me to remember when all I want to do is forget.
Those things that happened to you .
.
hurt very deeply.
And to remember them is like living through them all over again.
It's terrifying.
But it's your past, Sam.
If you can remember it, you can put it behind you.
You won't have to be afraid anymore.
Zoe What is it? Nothing.
Zoe, wait Shh Stop.
Mm.
Just stop! What? We need to talk.
About shagging? About shagging to avoid talking.
What's bothering you? New orders came in last night.
We've got a big job today.
Big job Nothing to do with your friend yesterday? I'd tell you if it were, Andrew.
It's my legs that don't work anymore, Zoe.
Not my eyes.
What are you saying? I can see when something's bothering you.
Let me in! You know I can't talk about work, so why do you keep asking? How much? Just enough to slow her down.
We don't want to alarm her friends, watching in the library.
We should keep her away from there.
No.
I want whoever she works for to see there's nothing to worry about.
Make sure she's not left on her own in there.
How long do we keep this up for? Not long at all now.
Just till Soomro signs the deal.
Morning, Alex.
You ready for your party? Yeah, SO ready.
Granddad.
Nice to see him excited.
Yeah.
What is it? What do you mean? Yesterday we were leaving together and today you can't look me in the eye.
Look, I'm sorry, I should've explained Did something happen with your father? Yeah.
Things are more complicated than I thought.
Don't worry.
It wouldn't be a surprise, would it? Are we all ready then? Yeah.
Let's go.
Have you booked your driving lessons? I'm 11.
What do you reckon, eh? Know where you're going? Any idea? Hey? Elvis is in the building.
On it.
Come on, Eddie! Go on, Eddie! Miss Kent.
Champagne? Thank you.
Cheers.
Shameless, that is.
Using the boy.
Why are we keeping her on? Why not just let her go? We will let her go, when the time's right.
Targets leaving the building.
'Stand by.
' 'Target should be in your line of sight 'now.
'Targets entering kill zone 'Armed.
' Just hold on a second.
'Hang on, he's walking away from the vehicle.
' Shit.
Eddie.
Why don't you come back with Granddad? We have plenty of room.
Well, I thought we'd go get some ice cream on the way home.
Can I, Dad? Yeah, I suppose so.
He justhe just had cake.
It's all right.
Come on, Son.
Bollocks, the kid's getting in the wrong car.
Deacon Shit! Target's entering kill zone.
What shall we do? Deacon!? Aaah! Ah! Shit! Sam Alex? Do it, do it now.
Target is moving away.
Now.
Do it now.
'Did we get him?' 'Stand by.
' Are you OK? Yeah, I'm OK.
Sir.
Are you OK? Yeah, I'm OK.
Sir, leave him.
Leave him, sir.
There's nothing we can do for him.
Let's get out of here.
There's nothing we can do, we have to leave him now.
Side arms out front.
Yes, sir.
SMG's in the garden.
Yes, Mr Bingham.
You should go to a hospital, Dad.
Nah.
Hey, how you doing? You OK? I'm fine.
How's your ankle, Miss Kent? It's nothing.
I just twisted it a little.
You sure? Good thing, too.
We owe you our lives, don't we, Eddie? I think we're all a bit shaken up.
Rubbish.
Eddie's all right, aren't you, Son? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm OK.
That's the best firework display you'll ever see, eh? It's a good job your presents were in the other car.
Bingham, would you see that Eddie's presents are taken into the library? Of course.
Miss Kent will help you unwrap them.
Won't you, Miss Kent? Is that what you want to do? Open presents? I suppose so.
'Course it is.
What happened back there? Somebody tried to kill me, obviously.
Someone nearly killed my son.
Yeah, they're desperate.
We have them just where we want them.
This is about the dam, isn't it? It's game over, Stevie.
They won't get to me again.
We've won.
I'm taking Eddie away.
No, you're not.
Look at him he's scared to death.
It's not safe.
Dad, there are men outside the house with guns! For my protection and yours.
Inside this house is the safest place on earth till that contract's signed.
She saved your life.
She saved the boy.
Only proves she's a spy.
How else would she know there was a bomb.
Yeah, I'm watching.
Where would you like the gifts, Miss Kent? On the coffee table, right, Eddie? Yeah.
May I have a word, please? I'm afraid I have to ask for your mobile phone.
What for? It's for everyone's protection, under the circumstances.
OK.
Come on I have to ask you not to leave the house.
Am I under arrest or something? I apologise for the inconvenience, Miss Kent.
It's just for a short while.
The whole house is crawling with guards.
And they've taken her phone.
Do you think they know she's a spy? Saving that boy's life, she sentenced herself to death.
She had to know that.
Then why'd she do it? I thought Sam had ice in her veins.
We need to get her out of there, Deacon.
Yeah.
They'll torture her like they did Hasan.
Do you want to lose another operative? You saying I lost Hasan? I'm saying you're team leader, it's your call.
My call? My call would've had your ass fired the second I found out you lied about Hasan.
Well, we're talking about Sam now.
Get out of my face.
Not until you give the order to get her out.
Enough! Sam's fine.
They're going to kill her.
Why haven't they done that already? This, this is for show.
They've figured out we're watching.
She's not in immediate danger.
They could kill her at any moment, and you know it.
We need to pull her out.
How do you suggest we do that? We go in.
Well, that would blow the op.
That's not an option, is it, Deacon? Turner's still alive, he still has the evidence against our client.
And that's worth the life of your best operative, is it? We get Turner's evidence out, then we get Sam out.
Not before.
How do we get the case out? With all those guards - surrounding the place - Good question.
We don't get the case out.
Well, then how do we complete the op? There's another way.
Why doesn't she get the case? Because either Eddie or Bingham has been in there all day.
Still Next time, why don't you strap on a bra and try being Sam, OK? You're tense.
What you need's a wee neck rub.
Put your hands on me, I'll break them off.
All right, Keel has asked the client to instruct Soomro to go to Turner's house tomorrow morning.
What for? To sign the contract for the dam.
That's your plan? Letting Turner win? How does that help? You'll go with Soomro, as a member of his security detail.
Once the evidence is verified, you'll destroy it.
No need to take the evidence out of the house if it doesn't exist.
Turner's blackmail goes away.
And he doesn't win the contract.
The client wins.
Once the evidence's is destroyed, the op is over.
We get Sam out of there.
I am so sorry you didn't get any presents again this year.
Hungry? Yeah.
Come on, dinner's ready.
I think I'll go upstairs and rest, if that's OK.
You all right? Bit of a headache, that's all.
I'll be fine.
No 'A man has been killed and several other people injured 'in a suspected bomb attack in East London.
'The Metropolitan Police say the man, who has not been identified, 'was sitting in the stationary car when it exploded 'at a go-karting track in the London Docklands area.
'Detectives are investigating' Very messy.
'.
.
an explosive device was deliberately placed 'under the vehicle.
'Eye witnesses described a huge fireball and blast, 'which shook windows in a nearby building.
' You should know I have a gun in my hand.
Just in case you're thinking of jabbing me with one of your little needles.
I'm just here to talk.
Why you haven't retrieved Sam Hunter yet? I didn't come here to answer your questions.
So, why did you come here? You think you can rattle me.
You know how this will end.
You don't scare me.
Byzantium may have disappointed my employer.
But I won't.
Then one of us will walk away from this.
And one of us won't.
Thank you.
Mr Stephen, something here for you.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Did you send me this? Can you open the gate? Stephen Turner's just left the house.
Excuse me! Hang on! Miss? What's this about? I don't want them seeing me.
What are you so afraid of? You don't know, do you? Why don't you tell me? I can't, they'll do the same thing to me as they did to your wife.
I think you'd better tell me what you're talking about.
I watch your house, from my room.
I should've told you before, but I was so scared What are you! Please! .
.
talking about? Your wife.
They killed her.
My wife killed herself.
Yes, she drowned herself.
In the pool, in the back garden.
Sheshe drowned, but she didn't kill herself.
Do you want money, is that it? No.
Listen to me.
I saw them do something to her, in her room She went outside and She was so weak, she could barely stand.
And he was there.
Who? It was a black guy in a hoodie.
I've seen him outside your house before.
And he pushed her in.
I was justwaiting and waiting for her to come back up or to swim, but she was just floating there.
Like an angel.
Why are you telling me this now? Because it's happening again.
To that other woman.
There's Sam.
She's going for the case.
She doesn't look well.
Bingham's outside.
That's good.
Bingham's going back in.
Well, he's going to walk in on her.
We need to warn her.
How? Give me my phone.
She doesn't have hers.
Just give it to me! Hello? Hello? What are you doing in here? Answer the question.
I was just getting Eddie's things.
Wait.
What? Wait here.
Forgive me.
As you can see, I'm a little on edge.
My name's Stephen Turner.
Yeah, I know who you are.
Where's Dave? Dave's dead.
Someone bumped him off.
Did you kill him? Like you killed my wife? What? You heard me.
If I did, or didn't, you really think I'd tell you? Why? Why does anything happen? I mean, why am I living in a shitty dump while you're up there in the big house with the old man? I don't feel sorry for you.
Nah Nah, 'course you don't.
You don't even know who I am, do you? You with all your money.
Your heirs.
You think you're better than me.
You ain't.
I'm a better son to him than you'll ever be.
Who are you? Up you go.
Miss Kent.
May I have a word, please? Of course.
You should really drink more liquids, Miss Kent.
There, there.
You rest now.
We'll take good care of you.
Mr Soomro.
Right this way.
You must be disappointed, seeing me alive.
I've learned not to underestimate you, Mr Turner.
You brought the contract? I did, but I won't sign it.
Not until the validity of your evidence is confirmed.
I understand.
Well, they said it was hydrogen sulphide that bubbled up from the bottom of that lake and killed 600 villagers in Pakistan.
But a Dutch engineer named Horst Goebel knew better.
He went out on that lake, and he took sediment samples.
And what do you think he found? No hydrogen sulphide at the bottom of the lake.
How could that be? Unless the gas didn't come from underwater It was sprayed in the air.
All to make way for a dam.
Can you prove this is what you say it is? Well .
.
sediment samples are as unique and undeniable as a fingerprint, more so cos they can't be faked.
That one's for you, Mr Soomro.
Go ahead, have it analysed.
I'll wait.
You looking for someone? Where is he? He's in the library.
Tell him I need to see him in his office.
I'm afraid he can't be disturbed right now.
Are you going to tell him, or shall I? Dad.
How you doing? I'm OK.
Where's Alex? She's in her room.
Mr Bingham says she's not feeling well.
How do you fancy going to Jackson's, watch a DVD.
OK.
Good.
Mrs Sidwa, would you mind taking him over? 'Course not.
No rocks this time? It's the real deal.
But Turner's still got a sample.
We need that sample destroyed.
I couldn't locate Sam.
Do you think she's OK? Get that to Keel.
Make it fast.
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out! How long will it take you to analyse this? Minutes.
Dam's as good as ours, Stevie.
Soomro's in there shitting himself.
The Chinese won't be happy.
Not the Chinese .
.
Polyhedrus.
The Chinese were fronting for them.
Controlling water.
That's pretty valuable to a multinational corporation, isn't it? Water's the future, Stevie.
A few years, it'll be more valuable than oil.
Take it from them now, when their entire corporation's counting on it We've hurt them.
Badly.
Why? What do you mean, why? Well, you don't care about water .
.
or the dam.
So, why did you go to all this trouble? Stevie Don't lie to me, Dad.
Just for once in your life.
Justice.
Justice When I was building my fortune in Docklands .
.
who do you think tried to bully me, tried to run me out of business, threaten me if I wouldn't get out of their way? And when that didn't work, they took my eldest son, your brother, and they cut his poor body to pieces.
John was murdered .
.
by two Pakistani men.
And you had them killed.
Them bastards were just following orders.
It wasn't the man who gave the order to kill your brother.
If it had been, I'd have killed his sons, killed his whole family.
It was Polyhedrus.
A corporation.
So, what was I to do to get justice for my dead son? If I couldn't kill a man, I'd bloody well kill a corporation.
It's taken me the best part of 20 years, but I've done it, Stevie.
I've finally done it.
John's still dead, Dad.
I spoke to yourson.
He told me what happened.
My SON? Yeah, the one you won't admit to, because his skin's the wrong colour.
The one you had murder my wife.
His name's Tyrone.
And he's always been loyal.
He's never crossed me.
She was no good for you, Stevie.
She wanted to take you and Eddie away.
And she would've, too.
She would've destroyed this family.
Stevie Stevie! It's been good, you know.
Really been enjoying it.
I just wanted to say, thanks for giving me a chance.
Not everyone would.
What? What's it say? Crane.
Yeah.
Got it.
You better get back to that house.
What is it? Not what we thought.
Where do you think you're going, sir? I'm leaving.
I'm taking her with me.
No, she's not going anywhere.
This should be interesting.
Mmmm.
Goodbye, Mr Turner.
Mr Soomro We've got a contract to sign.
We won't be signing any contract.
You think I won't go public with this? I'll splash this over every newspaper in time for the shareholders meeting tomorrow morning.
I don't think the shareholders would be much interested in a tube of dirt.
What are you saying? Your sample, Mr Turner.
It's nothing but nitrogen fertilizer.
You've been had.
And so have I.
Police, please.
Come on Are you all right, sir? Clear the house.
Everybody except Alex Kent.
Aidan, where are you? I'm going back in.
Yeah, there's two cars coming in.
Load up the car.
Yeah.
Move, move, move! What's going on? Bingham! What's happening? Bingham! Shit! Mr Marsh.
Who are you? You need to get into that house.
Now.
What do you know? She's been poisoned.
You need to give her this.
How do I know this isn't poison? Why would I need to kill someone who's already dying.
How can we get back in? Who are you? He'll kill her.
Can you get me in? Bingham's got the override key.
He's gone round the back.
Stay here.
Don't move.
Help! Let me out! 'Once upon a time, in a deep, frozen forest' Sam, hide.
Sam! Aaah! Wait there! Sam Sam, can you hear me? Sam You're late.
It's OK.
You're going to be OK.
I remember I remember.
Good morning, Mr Keel.
I'm afraid I don't know your name.
Only that it isn't Horst Goebel.
You've given your client everything he asked.
Except this.
I gather you took that from the real Horst Goebel.
Among other things.
I wouldn't surrender this to Jack Turner.
Not the real case.
Not once I realised its value.
What is it you want? Not what, Mr Keel.
Who.
When will you be back? I need some answers.
About Hourglass.
At least now I know what I'm looking for.
This is goodbye, then.
Be careful.
Andrew Andrew? Where is he? I told him you were in the cafe.
He's waiting for you.
What do you want? II'm not here to threaten you.
You being here is a threat.
Everything's going to be fine, Zoe.
So long as you bring her to me.
And if I don't? Oh, you will.
What's that? My letter of resignation.
A man with your skill set is rare, Deacon.
I don't think you'll find fulfilment managing security guards in a shopping mall.
I can't compromise my conscience any more.
Not for you.
Not for anyone.
Take responsibility for anything in life if you find yourself compromised, Deacon.
The greater the responsibility, the heavier the burden.
You don't seem burdened.
I don't seek to deny human nature.
Maybe you wouldn't either, if you were sitting in my chair.
Well, I'm not, am I? No, but you could be.
Sooner than you think.
I'd like to think a man like you will take over from me after I go.
Can I leave now? There's one last decision to be taken.
What's that? Our Horst Goebel impersonator.
He has possession of Turner's evidence against our client.
What's he going to do with it? Expose our client.
Unless we give him what he wants.
Which is? Sam Hunter.
It seems our client's employed a competing operative to take her life.
What are you going to do? What would you do if it was your decision? I'd like to finish this once and for all.
But I need your assistance.
Thanks for coming.
I'm sorry about your grandfather.
Dad said you're going back to America.
I have to.
I wanted to tell you that I finished your mother's book.
Did you find the ending sad? No.
No, I liked it.
It's just She didn't really die, did she? I'm going to miss you, Alex.
I'm going to miss you, too.
Come on.
Yes.
I need to see you.
What is it? Something you need to know.
Can you meet me at Victoria Dock? OK.
It's urgent.
I'll be there as soon as I can.
How shit is this? 'The Snow Maiden looked into the boy's eyes 'and knew what she must do.
'She took the boy to his father.
'As she watched these two happy souls, 'her heart of ice melted, and she died.
' Hello, you Come here.
'But the Snow Maiden's body turned into a perfect snowflake 'that rose into the air and danced on the breeze.
'Until at last, it vanished in the sunlight.
'
You need to remember what you saw before it's too late.
Four months before the dam was due to open, a natural disaster struck Gedawar.
Polyhedrus exterminated 600 people.
We're working for a mass murderer? Doctor, what's in the case? Evidence.
Turner gave him a decoy.
The real case never left, it's still in the library.
I'm told Jack Turner has evidence incriminating Polyhedrus.
Jack Turner is to be eliminated.
Facing one's own mortality is frightening, but it's also an opportunity to find meaning in one's life.
Hey, Alex, I've almost finished your book.

That would spoil it.
Why come to me and not Aidan? This opens a safe-deposit box.
His MI6 file's inside.
I'm sorry, you trusted me, it cost us our child.
Sam Hunter.
I'm supposed to be hunting her, not the other way round.
You came to my home, what is it you want from me? I need you to bring Sam to me so I can talk to her without him knowing.
She's being paid to screw you.
She's a planta professional.

Targets leaving the building.

He justhe just had cake.
It's all right.
Come on, Son.
Bollocks, the kid's getting in the wrong car.
Deacon Shit! Target's entering kill zone.
What shall we do? Deacon!? Aaah! Ah! Shit! Sam Alex? Do it, do it now.
Target is moving away.
Now.
Do it now.
'Did we get him?' 'Stand by.
' Are you OK? Yeah, I'm OK.
Sir.
Are you OK? Yeah, I'm OK.
Sir, leave him.
Leave him, sir.
There's nothing we can do for him.
Let's get out of here.
There's nothing we can do, we have to leave him now.
Side arms out front.
Yes, sir.
SMG's in the garden.
Yes, Mr Bingham.
You should go to a hospital, Dad.
Nah.
Hey, how you doing? You OK? I'm fine.
How's your ankle, Miss Kent? It's nothing.
I just twisted it a little.
You sure? Good thing, too.
We owe you our lives, don't we, Eddie? I think we're all a bit shaken up.
Rubbish.
Eddie's all right, aren't you, Son? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm OK.
That's the best firework display you'll ever see, eh? It's a good job your presents were in the other car.
Bingham, would you see that Eddie's presents are taken into the library? Of course.
Miss Kent will help you unwrap them.
Won't you, Miss Kent? Is that what you want to do? Open presents? I suppose so.
'Course it is.
What happened back there? Somebody tried to kill me, obviously.
Someone nearly killed my son.
Yeah, they're desperate.
We have them just where we want them.
This is about the dam, isn't it? It's game over, Stevie.
They won't get to me again.
We've won.
I'm taking Eddie away.
No, you're not.
Look at him he's scared to death.
It's not safe.
Dad, there are men outside the house with guns! For my protection and yours.
Inside this house is the safest place on earth till that contract's signed.
She saved your life.
She saved the boy.
Only proves she's a spy.
How else would she know there was a bomb.
Yeah, I'm watching.
Where would you like the gifts, Miss Kent? On the coffee table, right, Eddie? Yeah.
May I have a word, please? I'm afraid I have to ask for your mobile phone.
What for? It's for everyone's protection, under the circumstances.
OK.
Come on I have to ask you not to leave the house.
Am I under arrest or something? I apologise for the inconvenience, Miss Kent.
It's just for a short while.
The whole house is crawling with guards.
And they've taken her phone.
Do you think they know she's a spy? Saving that boy's life, she sentenced herself to death.
She had to know that.
Then why'd she do it? I thought Sam had ice in her veins.
We need to get her out of there, Deacon.
Yeah.
They'll torture her like they did Hasan.
Do you want to lose another operative? You saying I lost Hasan? I'm saying you're team leader, it's your call.
My call? My call would've had your ass fired the second I found out you lied about Hasan.
Well, we're talking about Sam now.
Get out of my face.
Not until you give the order to get her out.
Enough! Sam's fine.
They're going to kill her.
Why haven't they done that already? This, this is for show.
They've figured out we're watching.
She's not in immediate danger.
They could kill her at any moment, and you know it.
We need to pull her out.
How do you suggest we do that? We go in.
Well, that would blow the op.
That's not an option, is it, Deacon? Turner's still alive, he still has the evidence against our client.
And that's worth the life of your best operative, is it? We get Turner's evidence out, then we get Sam out.
Not before.
How do we get the case out? With all those guards - surrounding the place - Good question.
We don't get the case out.
Well, then how do we complete the op? There's another way.
Why doesn't she get the case? Because either Eddie or Bingham has been in there all day.
Still Next time, why don't you strap on a bra and try being Sam, OK? You're tense.
What you need's a wee neck rub.
Put your hands on me, I'll break them off.
All right, Keel has asked the client to instruct Soomro to go to Turner's house tomorrow morning.
What for? To sign the contract for the dam.
That's your plan? Letting Turner win? How does that help? You'll go with Soomro, as a member of his security detail.
Once the evidence is verified, you'll destroy it.
No need to take the evidence out of the house if it doesn't exist.
Turner's blackmail goes away.
And he doesn't win the contract.
The client wins.
Once the evidence's is destroyed, the op is over.
We get Sam out of there.
I am so sorry you didn't get any presents again this year.
Hungry? Yeah.
Come on, dinner's ready.
I think I'll go upstairs and rest, if that's OK.
You all right? Bit of a headache, that's all.
I'll be fine.
No 'A man has been killed and several other people injured 'in a suspected bomb attack in East London.
'The Metropolitan Police say the man, who has not been identified, 'was sitting in the stationary car when it exploded 'at a go-karting track in the London Docklands area.
'Detectives are investigating' Very messy.
'.
.
an explosive device was deliberately placed 'under the vehicle.
'Eye witnesses described a huge fireball and blast, 'which shook windows in a nearby building.
' You should know I have a gun in my hand.
Just in case you're thinking of jabbing me with one of your little needles.
I'm just here to talk.
Why you haven't retrieved Sam Hunter yet? I didn't come here to answer your questions.
So, why did you come here? You think you can rattle me.
You know how this will end.
You don't scare me.
Byzantium may have disappointed my employer.
But I won't.
Then one of us will walk away from this.
And one of us won't.
Thank you.
Mr Stephen, something here for you.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Did you send me this? Can you open the gate? Stephen Turner's just left the house.
Excuse me! Hang on! Miss? What's this about? I don't want them seeing me.
What are you so afraid of? You don't know, do you? Why don't you tell me? I can't, they'll do the same thing to me as they did to your wife.
I think you'd better tell me what you're talking about.
I watch your house, from my room.
I should've told you before, but I was so scared What are you! Please! .
.
talking about? Your wife.
They killed her.
My wife killed herself.
Yes, she drowned herself.
In the pool, in the back garden.
Sheshe drowned, but she didn't kill herself.
Do you want money, is that it? No.
Listen to me.
I saw them do something to her, in her room She went outside and She was so weak, she could barely stand.
And he was there.
Who? It was a black guy in a hoodie.
I've seen him outside your house before.
And he pushed her in.
I was justwaiting and waiting for her to come back up or to swim, but she was just floating there.
Like an angel.
Why are you telling me this now? Because it's happening again.
To that other woman.
There's Sam.
She's going for the case.
She doesn't look well.
Bingham's outside.
That's good.
Bingham's going back in.
Well, he's going to walk in on her.
We need to warn her.
How? Give me my phone.
She doesn't have hers.
Just give it to me! Hello? Hello? What are you doing in here? Answer the question.
I was just getting Eddie's things.
Wait.
What? Wait here.
Forgive me.
As you can see, I'm a little on edge.
My name's Stephen Turner.
Yeah, I know who you are.
Where's Dave? Dave's dead.
Someone bumped him off.
Did you kill him? Like you killed my wife? What? You heard me.
If I did, or didn't, you really think I'd tell you? Why? Why does anything happen? I mean, why am I living in a shitty dump while you're up there in the big house with the old man? I don't feel sorry for you.
Nah Nah, 'course you don't.
You don't even know who I am, do you? You with all your money.
Your heirs.
You think you're better than me.
You ain't.
I'm a better son to him than you'll ever be.
Who are you? Up you go.
Miss Kent.
May I have a word, please? Of course.
You should really drink more liquids, Miss Kent.
There, there.
You rest now.
We'll take good care of you.
Mr Soomro.
Right this way.
You must be disappointed, seeing me alive.
I've learned not to underestimate you, Mr Turner.
You brought the contract? I did, but I won't sign it.
Not until the validity of your evidence is confirmed.
I understand.
Well, they said it was hydrogen sulphide that bubbled up from the bottom of that lake and killed 600 villagers in Pakistan.
But a Dutch engineer named Horst Goebel knew better.
He went out on that lake, and he took sediment samples.
And what do you think he found? No hydrogen sulphide at the bottom of the lake.
How could that be? Unless the gas didn't come from underwater It was sprayed in the air.
All to make way for a dam.
Can you prove this is what you say it is? Well .
.
sediment samples are as unique and undeniable as a fingerprint, more so cos they can't be faked.
That one's for you, Mr Soomro.
Go ahead, have it analysed.
I'll wait.
You looking for someone? Where is he? He's in the library.
Tell him I need to see him in his office.
I'm afraid he can't be disturbed right now.
Are you going to tell him, or shall I? Dad.
How you doing? I'm OK.
Where's Alex? She's in her room.
Mr Bingham says she's not feeling well.
How do you fancy going to Jackson's, watch a DVD.
OK.
Good.
Mrs Sidwa, would you mind taking him over? 'Course not.
No rocks this time? It's the real deal.
But Turner's still got a sample.
We need that sample destroyed.
I couldn't locate Sam.
Do you think she's OK? Get that to Keel.
Make it fast.
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out! How long will it take you to analyse this? Minutes.
Dam's as good as ours, Stevie.
Soomro's in there shitting himself.
The Chinese won't be happy.
Not the Chinese .
.
Polyhedrus.
The Chinese were fronting for them.
Controlling water.
That's pretty valuable to a multinational corporation, isn't it? Water's the future, Stevie.
A few years, it'll be more valuable than oil.
Take it from them now, when their entire corporation's counting on it We've hurt them.
Badly.
Why? What do you mean, why? Well, you don't care about water .
.
or the dam.
So, why did you go to all this trouble? Stevie Don't lie to me, Dad.
Just for once in your life.
Justice.
Justice When I was building my fortune in Docklands .
.
who do you think tried to bully me, tried to run me out of business, threaten me if I wouldn't get out of their way? And when that didn't work, they took my eldest son, your brother, and they cut his poor body to pieces.
John was murdered .
.
by two Pakistani men.
And you had them killed.
Them bastards were just following orders.
It wasn't the man who gave the order to kill your brother.
If it had been, I'd have killed his sons, killed his whole family.
It was Polyhedrus.
A corporation.
So, what was I to do to get justice for my dead son? If I couldn't kill a man, I'd bloody well kill a corporation.
It's taken me the best part of 20 years, but I've done it, Stevie.
I've finally done it.
John's still dead, Dad.
I spoke to yourson.
He told me what happened.
My SON? Yeah, the one you won't admit to, because his skin's the wrong colour.
The one you had murder my wife.
His name's Tyrone.
And he's always been loyal.
He's never crossed me.
She was no good for you, Stevie.
She wanted to take you and Eddie away.
And she would've, too.
She would've destroyed this family.
Stevie Stevie! It's been good, you know.
Really been enjoying it.
I just wanted to say, thanks for giving me a chance.
Not everyone would.
What? What's it say? Crane.
Yeah.
Got it.
You better get back to that house.
What is it? Not what we thought.
Where do you think you're going, sir? I'm leaving.
I'm taking her with me.
No, she's not going anywhere.
This should be interesting.
Mmmm.
Goodbye, Mr Turner.
Mr Soomro We've got a contract to sign.
We won't be signing any contract.
You think I won't go public with this? I'll splash this over every newspaper in time for the shareholders meeting tomorrow morning.
I don't think the shareholders would be much interested in a tube of dirt.
What are you saying? Your sample, Mr Turner.
It's nothing but nitrogen fertilizer.
You've been had.
And so have I.
Police, please.
Come on Are you all right, sir? Clear the house.
Everybody except Alex Kent.
Aidan, where are you? I'm going back in.
Yeah, there's two cars coming in.
Load up the car.
Yeah.
Move, move, move! What's going on? Bingham! What's happening? Bingham! Shit! Mr Marsh.
Who are you? You need to get into that house.
Now.
What do you know? She's been poisoned.
You need to give her this.
How do I know this isn't poison? Why would I need to kill someone who's already dying.
How can we get back in? Who are you? He'll kill her.
Can you get me in? Bingham's got the override key.
He's gone round the back.
Stay here.
Don't move.
Help! Let me out! 'Once upon a time, in a deep, frozen forest' Sam, hide.
Sam! Aaah! Wait there! Sam Sam, can you hear me? Sam You're late.
It's OK.
You're going to be OK.
I remember I remember.
Good morning, Mr Keel.
I'm afraid I don't know your name.
Only that it isn't Horst Goebel.
You've given your client everything he asked.
Except this.
I gather you took that from the real Horst Goebel.
Among other things.
I wouldn't surrender this to Jack Turner.
Not the real case.
Not once I realised its value.
What is it you want? Not what, Mr Keel.
Who.
When will you be back? I need some answers.
About Hourglass.
At least now I know what I'm looking for.
This is goodbye, then.
Be careful.
Andrew Andrew? Where is he? I told him you were in the cafe.
He's waiting for you.
What do you want? II'm not here to threaten you.
You being here is a threat.
Everything's going to be fine, Zoe.
So long as you bring her to me.
And if I don't? Oh, you will.
What's that? My letter of resignation.
A man with your skill set is rare, Deacon.
I don't think you'll find fulfilment managing security guards in a shopping mall.
I can't compromise my conscience any more.
Not for you.
Not for anyone.
Take responsibility for anything in life if you find yourself compromised, Deacon.
The greater the responsibility, the heavier the burden.
You don't seem burdened.
I don't seek to deny human nature.
Maybe you wouldn't either, if you were sitting in my chair.
Well, I'm not, am I? No, but you could be.
Sooner than you think.
I'd like to think a man like you will take over from me after I go.
Can I leave now? There's one last decision to be taken.
What's that? Our Horst Goebel impersonator.
He has possession of Turner's evidence against our client.
What's he going to do with it? Expose our client.
Unless we give him what he wants.
Which is? Sam Hunter.
It seems our client's employed a competing operative to take her life.
What are you going to do? What would you do if it was your decision? I'd like to finish this once and for all.
But I need your assistance.
Thanks for coming.
I'm sorry about your grandfather.
Dad said you're going back to America.
I have to.
I wanted to tell you that I finished your mother's book.
Did you find the ending sad? No.
No, I liked it.
It's just She didn't really die, did she? I'm going to miss you, Alex.
I'm going to miss you, too.
Come on.
Yes.
I need to see you.
What is it? Something you need to know.
Can you meet me at Victoria Dock? OK.
It's urgent.
I'll be there as soon as I can.
How shit is this? 'The Snow Maiden looked into the boy's eyes 'and knew what she must do.
'She took the boy to his father.
'As she watched these two happy souls, 'her heart of ice melted, and she died.
' Hello, you Come here.
'But the Snow Maiden's body turned into a perfect snowflake 'that rose into the air and danced on the breeze.
'Until at last, it vanished in the sunlight.
'
