Code 404 (2020) s02e03 Episode Script

I can confirm that
after 20 years,
the Chelsea Bridge case
has been re-opened.
Questions?
Do you believe that police
incompetence
hampered the investigation?
It was a challenging case,
led by our best officers
at that time.
Any sign of the fifty million?
Not at this time.
John, we can't be in here.
This isn't our case.
Everyone's saying this is the
three Chelsea Bridge robbers.
Well, what if they're wrong?
What if it's two men and a
monkey?
I'm guessing it's you
that laid them out like this.
Where did you get the tail?
I had to borrow some bits
from another tray.
Put them all back where you
found them and let's go.
This was my dad's case, Roy.
I feel like,
if I can make a breakthrough,
he'll be proud of me
like the old days.
How did it go with your dad?
You've not seen him, have you?
We've not spoken in years, Roy.
I'm nervous.
You're the best copper
in SIU, John.
Of course he's gonna be proud.
Jesus, you can't even die
without them bringing you back.
That's the other thing.
He doesn't know about
the back-from-the-dead stuff.
He was at your funeral.
Sure he's going to have
questions, mate.
He thinks I faked my own death
and spent a year undercover.
He doesn't know the AI bit.
He's old-fashioned
about stuff like that.
What do you think? Hey?
I think it's a lot worse.
You know what, Roy?
You were right.
We're not meant to be here,
let's go.
Hidden camera footage
of an unlicensed fight
in East London.
We've known about this scene
for years. It's not illegal.
We think there's a new drug
on the scene.
Provokes extreme strength
and aggression.
We found several bodies of fighters
dumped in locations
across the city,
beaten to death.
I want to know more about
these drugs.
Is that the best footage
we've got?
They became suspicious.
I was forced to tuck the camera
inside my clothing.
You filmed this, Boss?
I don't spend my whole life
behind that desk, DI Major.
Do I have your full attention?
Yes, Boss.
Yes, ma'am.
You're my best men.
I wouldn't give this job
to anyone else.
We'll get a result for you, boss.
But first, I want to go
and see my dad.
Bite the bullet by the horns.
Are you going to tell him
about the AI?
No!
Maybe you should
Cheers mate.
What's the matter, DI Carver?
You seem uncomfortable.
Are you sure this
is the right case for him
right now, boss?
Dr Parfit says
he's degenerating.
And stress just makes it worse.
I'm truly sorry about DI Major,
but my hands are tied.
Resources are limited.
Budgets are being cut
to the bone.
Helicopter's here
to take you to lunch, ma'am.
Be there in five.
Tell him to hover.
Look, I need to use DI Major
before he stops functioning.
Which, from what I'm
hearing, is Pancake Day.
I know it's harsh,
but you don't buy a Porsche
and leave it in the garage.
I should know,
I've got two of them.
Anyway, choppers waiting so
Sorry, boss.
Switch off. Off.
Off!
Elizabeth Churchland,
you've waived your right
to have a lawyer present
for this interview.
There's an excellent
lawyer present.
The Chelsea Bridge gang
were found buried
on a plot of land
listed on your computer.
Lawyers hold deeds for people.
Yes, they do. What people?
Hi, Dad. How've you been?
Good, thanks. You?
Hi, Dad. How've you been?
Good, thanks. You?
Dad?
No one's accusing you
of anything.
We're politely asking
for your cooperation.
Churchland, you shyster!
Where's the fucking diamonds?
Sir, this is a formal interview.
Superintendent Clifford Major,
back to advise
on the Chelsea Bridge case.
I'm Detective Sergeant.
I hope you like prison food,
Churchland.
Because that's what they serve
where you're going.
Prison!
Sir, we value your help
but we're the ones
leading this interview.
This is how we
did things back in my day.
You didn't catch anyone
back in your day.
Christ, this is all we need.
Hi, Dad. How have I been?
And you?
Look at you.
Not dead after all.
Alive and well.
I flew all the way from Spain
for that funeral,
that was a waste of time.
Yeah, sorry.
We'll let you two step outside
for some time together.
No, it'll only take a minute.
So, how's things?
You still seeing that girl?
Kelly?
- My wife?
- Still married?
I thought she might have
dumped you
for a real man by now.
Yeah. We're still married.
Things are
We should get together
for a drink.
Yeah! Great, sounds amazing.
You can come too if you like.
Turning back to Ms. Churchland,
I see you live
in Kensington Gardens.
Can't be that cheap.
Let's be honest officer.
You're clutching at straws.
We have a criminal informant.
I won't mention his or her name
at this time.
It's Cleasby.
- But he or she
- It's a he.
- has promised
more information.
Ah, Major,
could you spare a minute?
Sorry, Dad,
we'll have to catch up later.
No, I meant this Major.
From now on I'll call you
Major senior and Major junior.
- Major and Minor.
- Even better. Thank you.
You should be very proud of him.
Don't worry, he is.
So, let me get this straight,
you've not told your dad
you came back from the dead,
or that you're part-AI, or that
your marriage is over, yeah?
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Apart from that though,
you're all caught up?
Can we do our jobs please,
Carver?
No. Let's not go in
as two bizzies.
We're just two fellas,
interested in the fights.
Roger that.
Terminate! Fuck!
Again, but go rougher!
Eliminate!
When's the next fight, mate?
There's a waiting list.
That's a shame.
Looks like I'm giving all this
to the donkey sanctuary.
Apologies.
You want to place a bet?
- That's right.
- No.
We just said
that to get your attention.
Truth is, I want to fight.
- No, you don't. He's only joking.
- I don't?
What is the plan?
Just give us a minute,
please, mate.
What the fuck are you doing?
I thought that was the plan.
It's not the fucking plan.
The plan is to pretend
we're two gamblers.
Oh, right. We should probably
have got this bit straight
before we came in.
If I might interrupt.
It's fairly obvious that you're
both police officers.
- Is that a problem?
- Not at all.
There are no laws
being broken here. Bones, yes.
So you won't mind
if we have your fighters
drug tested, then.
Take your pick.
- Him.
- Him.
Dragan! Come here!
- Why do you do that for?
- Don't know.
Jurgen, could you give
these gentlemen a urine sample?
I assume you have something
to put it in?
This doesn't smell right.
Asparagus.
Why would they co-operate
unless they know
it's gonna come back clean?
Then it's plan B.
I go in as a fighter.
That'd get me in deep.
Oh it'd get you in deep.
What happens when
they kick the shit out of you?
I'm an elite cyber-cop Roy.
I've got the strength
and reflexes of a Whoops.
You're not fighting. End of.
- You're not my dad.
- Interesting choice of phrase.
What's that supposed to mean?
This whole fighting thing
is you trying to impress him.
It's not necessary.
We need to nip back
for a refill.
Fucking hell, John.
It's all over my seats!
You went over a bump!
- It stinks as well!
- Very potent.
But in our last session
you said that you feel boring,
that people don't pay
attention to you.
Have you got a minute?
No, John.
I'm committed to my client.
It's about the divorce.
- I'm ready.
- Really?
I've not been listening to you.
But I get it now.
Wow, that's
That's really mature of you.
Thank you.
I'm only asking you to wait
until my dad's gone home.
Your dad's here?
Yeah.
Are you OK with that?
I'm fantastic with it!
It's a chance to re-connect,
after all these years.
Right.
Well if you need me
for anything
Yeah, can you come out
for dinner with us both
and pretend
we're still together?
Also he doesn't know
that I'm part-AI.
Thanks. Oh, I won't touch you.
There's piss on my fingers.
Pick you up at six?
- It's not my piss by the way.
- Great.
- Piss on my fingers.
- OK.
Happy birthday, Roy.
It's not my birthday.
Oh, I think it is.
Remember I said Major
was close to death?
And that you
were giving up on him?
Yeah, rings a bell.
I've got a fix.
Before now,
I focused on software upgrades.
This is a hardware fix.
How does it work?
Basically it enables
tetra-qubit coding
at sub-static data levels.
Are you with me?
- Yeah.
- You're not
because all those words
were made up.
So you just have to trust me.
So he's not going to die?
Won't die, won't screw up,
won't break wind around my lab
even in designated
sterile areas.
He'll basically do
whatever he's programmed to do.
But he'll still be Major?
I see no reason
to change the name.
What about his personality?
What personality?
OK, fine he'll be different.
But hey, that's progress.
Remember when Microsoft got rid
of the little paperclip dude,
"Hey, looks like
you're writing a letter-"
No no no. I'm not gonna let you
kill off his personality.
I don't need
your permission, Roy.
Not yet you don't.
But I'm up for promotion,
and when I get it, I'm gonna
use it to keep him safe.
I've signed up Roy!
I'm going to be an MMA fighter!
Oh fuck me.
I went back to the gym,
they've put me on the books.
Pop pop heah! Takedown!
- What about the drugs?
- The what?
The illegal steroids.
The reason we're investigating
the whole scene.
Yeah, I'll be honest
I've actually forgotten about that part.
How did the piss come back?
- Clean.
- There you go,
that's why we need
to do it my way.
Get to the heart
of the organisation.
You're not really gonna
let him do this, right?
Course I'm not.
You can't keep an eye on me
24/7.
- I can.
- No, you can't.
- Yes I can.
- I don't think you can.
- I think I can.
- No! You cannot!
Watch me.
Uuuugh. This is nice.
All my favourite people
together.
I didn't realise
Roy would be joining us.
It was a last-minute thing.
I come over from Spain.
Where does he bring me?
Bloody tapas.
I just thought
No, you're right, stupid idea.
We like it here.
What's going on with your neck?
What neck?
Oh, my neck, Um
You look like a penis, son.
Take it off.
I can't. It's
Covering something.
Covering what?
Love bite.
So how are you
finding SIU, Cliff?
What do you think of the place
these days?
Very different.
It's all computers now isn't it?
I found out today,
one of your coppers,
don't know which, is part robot.
Part robot!
I mean Jesus,
what's the world coming to?
Some people'd call it
progress, Dad.
Some people'd call it bollocks.
What?
It's me.
I'm the AI.
You're joking.
You almost look human.
Now you mention it,
there is that dead look
in the eyes
I've been augmented, that's all.
Good for you.
So, who invited
you over Clifford?
I Invited myself.
I heard on the grapevine
they were re-opening my case.
- Come to help.
- Oh yeah,
the case you didn't solve
20 years ago?
I retired 20 years ago, love.
Not my fault if the police
can't function without me.
I need a cigarette.
- You don't smoke.
- Really?
You're picking me up on that?
Excuse me.
Sorry I turned up
unannounced, Kel.
Oh.
No, you're alright, Roy.
Hmm. If anything
I was actually glad
you're here to share the pain.
Why are you pretending
you're still with him?
Why are you pretending
that you're a robot?
Because somehow we always end up
doing what John wants.
Looks like
you're not a big fan of his dad.
Yeah, no, he's a total twonk.
Is he alright
when you get to know him?
Yeah once you get to know him,
he's a complete bellend.
He walked out of John's life
with no explanation really so
So you came to stick up for him.
Yeah No John's agreed
to the divorce.
I actually think this time
he means it, so
- That's good.
- Yeah.
It'd set us both free,
John and I to, uh,
follow a new path.
Roy, why did you
come here tonight?
Just 'cos I came
to babysit John.
Just in case he Shit!
Here we go.
Don't tell me you're on your way
to that fucking fight?
You're not his boss, DI Carver.
Cliff, please talk to him, mate,
he'll listen to you.
My dad believes in me, Roy.
Unlike you he thinks
I can do this.
You realise this
won't help us solve the case.
This isn't about the case
anymore, Roy.
Of course, it is,
you fucking massive twat!
Where's the venue?
You're breaking up, Carver,
I can't hear you.
He only wants what's best for me.
None of my business, but
I saw him talking to your wife
at the bar of the restaurant.
They were cosy.
They're old friends.
I'm sure they are.
Oh, there she is.
We got the hitman
who killed the old lady.
Cleasby gave us a name
Nice one, well done-
Where's your tablet thing,
for tracking Major?
You did not let him go
to the fight?
You had one thing to do!
Literally one thing,
don't let him get punched
repeatedly in the head!
It's not too late.
We've still got time.
Right, Kelly, you wait here,
we'll bring him straight back.
- Oh, we'll bring him
- Yeah. Come on.
Thank you
for betting with Drago 365.
Fight commencing.
Global betting closed.
Sorry.
You're up next, against Jurgen.
You should expect a mixture
of Brazilian Ju-jitsu
and Pencak.
You?
Pad Thai, Yahtzee. Bit of Jenga.
Winner Nikita.
I can't believe
you let him do this.
Straight through the tunnel,
make a left.
That thing's connected
to Major's head, right?
Yeah.
So, could you connect it
to someone who wasn't AI?
You know, to make them
more aggressive?
Remote deep-brain stimulation?
Yeah, you could switch hormones
on and off like that.
And it wouldn't show up
in a drug test?
You know I could have told you
that at the beginning, right?
You should trust me
with stuff more often.
Next fighters to the ring.
How are you feeling, Johnny?
Raring to go, Dad.
- I'm gonna make you proud.
- Good lad.
Thank you
for betting with Drago 365.
Next fight commencing
in ten seconds.
Let's go.
Let's go tear him one.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Jurgen Minsky takes on,
Detective Inspector John Major.
Go, Johnny!
Fight commencing.
Global betting closed.
Ah like that is it.
That's what I'm taking about!
Ah shit!
John, get up.
Turn that off.
- Now!
- OK, OK, OK.
Coming down, coming down.
Mother fucker.
I'm arresting you
on suspicion of manslaughter-
Johnny?
It's alright John.
We got them.
All the information we needed
was on the fellas phone.
I love you too, Daddy.
He'll be alright.
Do it.
The hardware thing.
You said you didn't want it.
You said I was turning him
into a robot.
I changed my mind.
Just to re-reassure you,
I was interviewed by the police,
but they've caught nothing.
Hmm.
I'm far
from reassured, Elizabeth.
From what I hear,
Pigtails is in police custody.
Don't worry. An old friend's
taking care of that.
Look we know you're responsible
for the hit at the nursing home.
You're going down
whatever happens.
Just give us some names
and I can
Hello?
Move.
