Death and Other Details (2024) s01e10 Episode Script

1
KIRA SCOTT: Previously,
on Death and Other Details
- I'm being a bad friend.
- No, it's fine.
I'm happy just freeloading as per usual.
What? Imogene, please, you're family.
Imogene, [SNIFFLES] I have
not slept for two days.
Leila wants a divorce.
I lost the company.
My dad isn't even really my dad.
Oh, and I can see that none of
this is even registering with you
because all you care about
is did he kill your mom?
- He did.
- I made a phone call.
ANDREAS WINDELER: Viktor Sams
is meticulous in his justice.
He is in control.
In one hour, this
ship will be destroyed.
I know you're angry, but
right now we need each other.
Oh, my God, you're okay.
JULES TOUSSAINT: Thank
you. For the escape plan.
- Yeah, my timing wasn't perfect, but
- We'll do better next time.
IMOGENE SCOTT: I found Danny's
log. Everything he did onboard.
Who are you? I never forget a face.
If Danny saw Viktor Sams,
then it's gotta be in there.
See that? There. Right there. See?
LEILA COLLIER: It does not make sense.
Unless
This was personal.
- You see things, Imogene.
- No.
Things other people don't
even bother to notice.
- Mom?
- [TICKING]
WAITER: Excuse me, Mr. Cotesworth.
May I interest you in a whiskey?
- Maybe some schnapps?
- No. Coffee's fine.
Could you do a bacon butty?
Right away, Mr. Cotesworth.
There's something worse than the end.
Longing for one knowing
the true end may never come.
I hate that. No, no, no.
[SCRIBBLES]
And if I
I used to think if I found Viktor Sams,
if I solved Kira Scott's murder,
I'd find some kind of peace.
But there's not real peace.
- Life, I'm afraid is a messy thing.

Well, they cheated.

He was evacuated with

KIRA: Go ahead and take it off.
Apologies for the theatrics.
IMOGENE: What do you want?
I want you to trust me.
I want you to understand.
You can go at the end
of this, I promise.
You have no idea what it's
been like to see you every day
and not have you know me,
to wanna tell you who you are to me.
I haven't taken a breath in 18
years without thinking about you.
I never wanted to leave you, Imogene.
But you did.
I did.
Had to.
YOUNG IMOGENE: It's not fair.
They get to own all
the beautiful things.
You're gonna make me
put it back, aren't you?
KIRA: I didn't have a choice, Imogene.
I was all alone. I
didn't know who to trust.

KIRA: It was the fucking
Colliers. They tried to kill me.
But they failed.
Now I had to get out
before they tried again.
I desperately wanted
to take you with me.
ANDREAS: No! In no
fuckin' universe. No kids.
Kids can't stay in a basement
without heat or windows for six weeks.
Kids paint a target on your back.
Every border you cross,
you'll bring more attention.
You found me because you need someone
to make you disappear and I can.
But you go alone.
I'm not gonna have a kid's
death on my conscience.
I knew the only way to keep you safe
was for them to think I was gone.
Lawrence Collier has resources.
You wanna stay gone, you
follow every rule I give you.
And I mean every single rule.
No lookin' back.
No reaching out to your kid or mom.
No ex-boyfriends, girlfriends.
You can't talk to anyone
you knew before, ever.
It's the biggest mistake people make,
the reason they get found,
they reach out to loved ones.
ANDREAS: Okay?
Now here's the hard part.
There may not be a body, but
there damn well better be DNA.

They stole our lives.
[IMOGENE SIGHS]
KIRA: It broke me, for a time.
My only hope was that
it wasn't all in vain.
I'd left evidence behind.
But it went nowhere.
Corruption was winning and
the corrupt were walking free.
[SIGHS]
I looked around and
saw how naïve I'd been.
I saw power prevailing everywhere.
And what was I doing?
Hiding. [SCOFFS]
It wasn't enough.
Not nearly.
So I built a new identity.
A few identities, in fact.
I changed my face. Surprisingly painful.
I changed my eye color.
You can do that, but don't.
I love your blues.

Life, I'm afraid is a messy thing.
But I will say this about Kira Scott.
There really was a ferry
from the island of Malta,
a scant two nautical miles away,
when her bombs went off
and the ship began to sink.
You could call it a coincidence,
but, of course, you now know
coincidences are just dressed-up clues.
The bombs were never meant to kill.
They were meant to provoke to scare.
We made it.
We fuckin' made it, Anna.

Ya know there's one
thing that didn't add up.
You spent all this time, all those
resources plotting your revenge.
You killed everyone responsible.

Lawrence Collier.
His brain is addled, yes,
but did that truly excuse
him from your justice?

your assault on him
began before we set sail,
two and a half years before, in fact.

switched his daily protein smoothie

advertisement built just for him.
Smoothies shipped direct to consumer.
Special ingredient?
Captionem Blue.
Causes cancer, dementia, and
all manner of knock-on ailments.
He didn't get dementia.
It's a symptom.
You poisoned him
with the same shit he used
on his workers in China.
It's alright, Kira. You
don't need to be coy.
I have proof of everything you did.
Mm right.
We couldn't let you win and we
certainly couldn't let you destroy
all the evidence against yourself.
