We Hunt Together (2020) s02e06 Episode Script

1
(Lola) His ring finger is missing.
Whoever did this,
clearly took pride in their work.
(Susan) And you think
Freddy's involved?
The locker was hired
by Lester Price.
Nobody's seen him or his wife
since yesterday afternoon.
Lester was the Birdman
and Samantha covered for him.
(Lola) I don't understand.
Why would he kill himself?
You think someone else
was at that house?
Don't you?
Maybe you really are the Birdman?
(Henry) What do you think?
Does it suit me?

Need a hand, son?
Oh got it sorted, thanks.
Oh, what happened?
I, er, I run over
something back there.
I don't know what it was.
You don't want to go
far on that spare, young man.
There's a garage about two miles
down the road. They open at seven.
Tell them, er, Joseph sent you.
You'll get a bit of money off.
(panting)
Yeah, will do. Thank you.
Er
(chuckles)
Forgetting something?
Oh. Oh, yeah, thanks.
Yeah. Pop the boot
and I'll put it away for you.
I'm kind of in a rush, Joseph.
Pop the boot, you big wally.
It won't take a minute.
Yeah.
Thank you for your help.

- (knocking on door)
- Yeah.
Lester has an alibi for
the Shannon McBride murder.
- Is it solid?
- You could say that.
Er, he was locked in a cage
in his bedroom.
By this man.
Angelo Ferrentini.
He was driving the car
that picked up Samantha
on the night
of Shannon McBrides' murder.
So, are you telling me
this is the killer?
No. The cage was consensual,
it's a kink thing, apparently.
Lester and Samantha had a dominant
submissive relationship, ma'am.
Erm, she decides what he does,
what he eats, where he goes,
or doesn't go.
On the night in question,
Angelo and Samantha
went to a club night
at The Pain Parlor,
while Lester stayed behind.
In a cage.
- In his own bedroom?
- Yes, ma'am.
I see.
They returned from the club
at midnight
where they proceeded to have sex
in front of Lester for two hours
at which point they released
him around 2am
and Angelo Ferrentini went home.
So that's a perfectly
reasonable chain of events.
Righty-o then. Er, well,
that's me all
brought up to speed, so
- (knocking on door)
- Yes, please.
Sorry to interrupt.
I still can't find Freddy to ask
her about the locker.
So, I tried tracking
Henry down instead.
- And?
- We've applied
for a trace on his phone
and when we spoke to his mum
she said he and Freddy
went to stay on the family boat
somewhere in Worcestershire.
He was supposed to call yesterday
and she can't get hold of him.
Get me the exact address
for that boat. Right now.
No, no, no, Samir. I'm not asking
you to get yourself in trouble.
Okay? I'm asking you to send me the
song when you know what it is.
Yeah, that's where we're at
loggerheads though, you see,
because me sending you the song
is the thing that's gonna
get me in trouble.
I would have thought
that was obvious.
Look, you don't have to email
it to me. Just text me or call me
and whistle it down
the phone, I don't care.
I've never been very good
at whistling.
Er, listen.
(blows raspberry)
Have you spoken to the technician?
Yeah, parts are in
for the music box.
- Should be fixed today or tomorrow.
- Okay, great.
Why can't I just send it
to someone who's
actually still working the case?
Because I'm the only one who gives
a damn about the bear, okay?
Thank you.
(ominous music)
(phone beeps)
(ominous music continues)
(exhales)
You look tired.
Do you love him, Gil?
Okay.
It just kind of happened.
Could you not do that?
We both know it takes time
and effort to love someone
so please don't call it
an accident.
You know, I can handle this, I can,
but I feel like
I've earned your honesty.
I don't think that's unfair.
- And if the baby's yours?
- Oh, God. I hope it's mine.
If it is yours.
We should try to be
a family, for for
for the kids, for us.
You know, I am trying, Gil.
So hard not to hate you right now.
Because I don't want to hate you.
There's too many years left
of friendship, I hope,
respect for one another
and our children.
I thought you might stop loving me.
You know, I never
I'd never thought you'd hate me.
I fear it's the other
way around, my love.
(birds chirping)
(suspenseful music)
(phone beeps)
(phone rings)
Yeah? What do you want?
The song from the teddy bear
is "Greensleeves."
(Lola over phone)
And who told you that?
(Jackson over phone) I'm sorry,
they probably shouldn't have.
Look, can you just run it through
the system for me, please?
I'm not in the office.
And anyway,
you should leave it alone
or you'll mess it up
for the rest of us.
I just need you to do
me a favour here, please?
(Jackson over phone) Lola?
Lola?

Henry?
(man gasps)
(man exclaims)
Henry.
Please, help me.
Please.
(suspenseful music continues)
(door opens, closes)
I ran the search for
"teddy bear" plus "Greensleeves."
Did you know Henry eighth wrote it?
I think that's one of
those apocryphal tale things.
A what?
- It means it's not true.
- Oh.
Could you just
give it here, please?
Are you sure this is okay, though?
Look, Lola asked you
to do the search
if anyone asks, which they won't.
Adding "Greensleeves" to
the search term on the teddy bear
narrowed it down to one hit.
Missing person five years ago.
- Amanda Dellingham.
- Mm.
Case is still open but no updates
in the last couple of years.
She worked
at the psychiatric hospital.
Her husband, Neil, lives nearby.
I don't suppose you could
ask him a few questions for me?
- I should probably, like
- No, I understand.
Thanks, Ryan.
Er, I'll ask someone else.
Aah!
(exhales sharply)
(grunts)
Robert?
You remember me?
Yeah, I I do, yeah.
Okay, erm
How do we
Th there there's another key.
- Right here?
- Yeah.
- There you go.
- (gasping)
- Thank you so much.
- Robert.
Is this the man
who did this to you?
(cries)
- Yes.
- Yes that's him?
(in a strained voice)
That's him. That's him.
He said
he was punishing me for you.
Hey, okay.
(in normal voice)
Hey, stop it.
Look, I'm gonna help you.
But we need
to get out of here first, okay?
- Okay
- Okay.
No, no, no. I need my clothes.
They're in that bag. Please.
(ominous music)
(Freddy on radio) Anyway, the bee
was tiring. Fight was almost done.
When suddenly this fucking
bird just swoops down
and eats the spider right off the
(sighs)
- The menu
- Thanks.
(exhales)
(tense music)
Where are you going?
It's this way to get out.
Thank you.
(foreboding music)
(foreboding music continues)
Henry?
(bats screeching)
(gasps)
(tense music)
(gasping)
The police will
think it was all Henry.
He lured you here
but you got the better of him.
You killed him and you set me free.
You're the hero, my love.
You're the star. As it should be.
(tense music continues)
This is my gift to you.
You did all this for me?
Hmm.
I'm so sorry, Henry.
But I will be with you always.
You know that. Don't you, my love.
Robert
(screams)
Yeah, if you could check
in your office as quick as you can.
Yeah, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
- I've called you four times!
- Yeah, cause I wanted
to talk to you in person.
I need assurances, that you're
gonna speak to Simon's family.
- What are you talking about?
- I need the money, Lola.
And if this helps
you catch Freddy
What have you got?
I need your word.
This is for my daughter, Lola.
It's for my daughter.
Fucking waste the time.
Fuck! I I cracked the code.
The password.
It was hidden in the letter.
Freddy got a message this
morning asking her to meet.
Not here.
It's in the old
Lea Valley hospital,
half a mile down the road.
You stay here! And I mean it!
- (suspenseful music)
- (engine starts)
(Dom) So, this is your wife's bear?
No.
It was her sister Elaine's.
We were having an affair.
I bought her the bear as a present,
she had one when
she was a kid but she lost it.
Took me ages to track
down the exact same one.
Same little song and everything.
So, why did Amanda have it
the day she went missing?
Mandy always thought
there was something going
on between me and Elaine and
(sighs)
when she found the bear,
she knew.
But you said you went to pick up
Amanda that night at the hospital.
I picked her up
from work every night.
That time she never came out.
How long had Amanda
worked at the hospital?
Erm, about five years.
The weird thing was
it was due to shut the week
that Mandy went missing.
A few more days and she never
had to go back there in her life.
Did Mandy ever mention
a colleague or a patient
that got too close to
her bothered her at all?
Look, I went through all this when
you lot arrested me at the time.
Have you found something?
Do you know what happened to Mandy?
This has to be our link
to the Birdman.
Do really think
Mandy's his first victim?
Why would he give us
that connection?
Enjoying himself? Erm
thinks he's smart? I don't know.
Hmm.
I can't thank you
enough for this, Dom.
You're a superhero, you know that?
If anyone asks, Lola sent you.
I've cleared it with her.
You okay?
I didn't tell anyone this.
But he held my hand.
In the club.
When he put the knife in,
he held my hand,
gave it a little squeeze.
It felt almost
friendly.
(phone rings)
You've got me in so much trouble.
- Do you know that?
- The best kind though, right?
Answer it, I'll be in touch.
Thank you, Dom.
Yeah.
Hello, my love.
Yes, I'm fine, I'm fine.
I'm okay, I'm fine.
I'm coming, I'm coming.
All right.
(tense music)
(tutting)
(gasping)
(whimpers, heavy breaths)
It's a beautiful view.
Isn't it?
Hey?
(foreboding music)
I gave my everything to you!
And you still choose Henry over me.
- No. No.
- Yes!
No. I didn't choose Henry.
Oh, but that's not what
it sounded like to me.
- Stop, stop, stop, stop!
- You're lying, aren't ya?
You're lying!
Oh! Stop!
Yes! Yes, I am! I'm lying.
Yes, I'm lying!
I'm lying. I'm lying.
Is this what you want?
I choose you, Robert. I choose you.
(foreboding music)
Stay in your van!
(phone rings)
(Ryan over the phone) Sarge, we got
a trace on Henry's phone.
- Go on.
- He's at the old
Lea Valley Psychiatric Hospital.
(sighs)
Yeah, I'm already there.
Get me urgent armed response.
I'm gonna need a few units
to cover the whole site.
I think the Birdman might be here.
(gasping, heavy breaths)
So you need to decide now
for yourself now, Freddy.
Are you the spider
or are you the bee?
- Do you want to fall on your own?
- (whimpers)
- Or do you wanna fly away together?
- (panting)
- You want to know what I am?
- Yeah.
I'm the fucking snake, Robert.
I always was.
(grunts)
(heavy breaths)
(grunts)
(tense music)
(grunts)
(panting)
(tense music continues)
- (phone beeps)
- (line rings)
Dom, when we searched
Robert's house
there was a song playing
from his laptop.
Something about a willow
tree, do you remember?
(Dom over the phone) Yes.
Er, it was by the Carter Family.
"Bury Me Beneath the Willow Tree."
Yeah. Why?
I think I might
have found our willow tree.
I'll call you back.
Stay by the phone.
Lola, what are you doing?
Stay there.
(tense music)
Please. Please don't hurt me.
- Please.
- Jesus, you're alive.
Robert, Robert Miller?
It's DS Lola Franks,
do you remember me?
(whimpers)
- Thank God you are here.
- What happened?
- Thank God.
- I gotcha.
Is there anybody else here?
Robert, have you seen Freddy?
- He he is still there.
- Who is?
- Th the man who took me.
- All right.
Let's get you down. Come on.
- Lola!
- Come on.
(both grunting)
Okay.
- Who did this to you?
- (panting)
His name's Henry.
- Okay, you look after him, okay?
- All right.
Yeah.
Er, stay away from the doors.
I'll be back in less than a minute.
You're gonna be
all right, man, okay?
(grunts)
(scoffs)
(tense music continues)
Thank you so much.
- (phone rings)
- Ha, ha. Knees, knees.
Wait.
(phone continues to ring)
- Hello.
- (Jackson) Mr Dellingham.
I'm following up on a visit
from DC Dominique Parkes.
Okay.
Dom referred to Amanda
as Mandy after your meeting?
Is that how you knew her?
Uh, everyone called her
Mandy, yeah.
Did she have a middle name
beginning with "T" by any chance?
(Neil over the phone)
Yeah, it was Tanya, why?
Okay, could you
could you tell me, erm
Does the name Robert Miller
mean anything to you?
Uh, no. Don't think so.
Oh, hang on a minute. You're
talking about Bobby, isn't you?
Bobby Miller, yes.
How do you know him?
His dad was a porter at the
hospital after his farm went bust.
Bobby used to hang out
there all the time.
Him and Mandy were quite close.
Thank you. We'll be in touch.
Wa wait, wait, wait!
(foreboding music)
Oh, my God.
(phone rings)
Oh, no.
(line rings)
- (Ryan over the phone) Sarge?
- Yes, Ryan, it's me.
Where's that backup?
I just spoke to them. They're about
12 minutes out.
Armed Response just behind them.
Oh, shit. Shit!
Well, I'm gonna need an
ambulance too, now, okay?
Robert Miller is alive,
but he sustained
a stab wound to his shoulder.
The Birdman is Henry Lane.
- Just hurry up, okay?
- Yes, Sarge.
- Liam?
- Down here!
(grunts, coughs)
Liam heard something. I tried to
follow him, but I couldn't keep up.
Okay, just stay back.
- Okay, just stay back. Shit!
- (phone rings)
(bats screeching)
(grandiose music)
(scoffs, laughs)
Finally!
- Liam!
- (door slams shut)
(tense music)
Okay. Okay.
Okay, Robert. Let's talk.
Sorry, love.
(Liam groans)
Please.
- Liam!
- (groans)
Shit!
Okay.
- Okay, hold that there.
- (car door closes)
Liam, listen to me!
You need to hold that there.
- I can't.
- Yes, you can. Hold it.
I have to go. Help is on its way.
You're going to be okay.
- I can't.
- I'm sorry.
Just keep holding that.
Shit!
(groans, exhales)
(shallow breaths)
Dom, we need an
armed unit to Robert's farm
and an excavation
team to the hospital.
Tell them they're digging
for Amanda Dellingham, okay?
And listen, Dom,
when you get here, you need to
- Whoa!
- (crashing)
- (horn honking)
- (panting)
(laughs hysterically)
(horn honking, stops)
(groans)
- Hey, Lola?
- What's happened?
- I'm okay. Yeah.
- Are you sure?
- Let's go.
- No, no. I'll go.
You need to go back and help Liam.
Okay, he's back there,
he's behind his van.
- No. Robert's more important.
- Listen to me, Jackson, listen.
He's been stabbed in the
neck and the stomach, okay?
Medics are coming but if you don't
go back there now, he's gonna die.
- (car door closes)
- (engine revs)
(tense music)
Shit!
Liam!
Stay with me. That's it, Liam.
- Stay with me. That's it.
- (shallow breaths)
(ominous music)
(siren blares in distance)
Henry and I were at the boat a few
nights ago but we had an argument.
I wanted to go home.
So, I took his car
and I left him there
all alone.
The next day, he text me saying
to meet him at the hospital.
When I got there
it was Robert.
And that's when he put the
hood over your head?
Mm. Yes.
There must have been something
in it because I passed out and
(in a strained voice)
When I woke up
(cries)
he showed me Henry.
He said
He said he'd kill everyone I ever
loved if I wouldn't be with him.
I don't know how but
I managed to get his knife and
I stabbed him and then I ran.
(in normal voice)
And then what happened?
I hid for a while.
And then I heard cars,
so I came outside and
that's when I found Liam.
I spoke to the paramedics.
They said you saved his life.
Well I just did what anyone
of us would have done.
Did Robert give any indication
- of where he might be going next?
- (phone rings)
Sorry. Will you excuse me?
- (door opens)
- (phone continues to ring)
- Hi, yes.
- Freddy?
(Lola) Are you sure?
Did Robert say anything at all
about where he was going?
Freddy?
- Freddy?
- (door opens)
No, he didn't say anything. Er
Could you give me a
moment alone with Freddy?
(door closes)
Thank you
for what you did for Liam.
Well, like I said, you know.
I just did what anyone
with half a heart would have done.
Freddy, please be quiet.
I mean it, thank you.
You're welcome.
You ever heard
of the nightjar bird?
Apparently, it's quite rare.
This nice lady from the
Worcestershire Bird Society
was telling me
all about them earlier.
They have these information
boards all over the country
where you can read all about them.
Bird hides, too.
Some of these bird hides
even have small cameras.
Motion activated.
Very clever.
I haven't seen the footage yet
but my new friend
tells me it's very clear.
(discordant music)
Freddy.
I'm sorry.
(sombre music)
You going to arrest me then?
Yeah.
In a minute.
Okay.
(sombre music continues)
Okay.
Well, how can we not
have a single spot in the van?
What? Well, where's
he gone for fucks sake?
(sighs)
Right.
Get his phone on live cell site
and tell the team
at the farm to stay there.
I want him found, nicked,
and in a cell
within the hour, clear?
(suspenseful music)
(knocks)
- Hi. Mrs Lawlor?
- Yes?
I I hear you've got a
problem with your boiler?
I thought Joseph was coming.
He he's on another job.
I'm sure I can help.
The boiler's down in the basement,
love. Is that okay?
It's no problem.
Perhaps your husband
can show me down?
No, just me love.
Don't worry, I can show you.
Excellent. Lead the way.
Oh, and I've got a packet
of chocolate fingers open
if you want one?
- Oh, delicious.
- Come on.
Thank you.
(suspenseful music continues)
(sombre music)
- Was the water cold?
- Come on, love.
- No.
- Daddy needs to rest for a bit now.
(knocks)
I'm gonna get it.
(sombre music continues)
(grunts, wheezes)
(dog barking in distance)
(ominous music)
Poor Amanda.
You know, Robert knew no one
was going to buy that painting.
That's why he put
the price so high.
So, it would just hang there
in full view.
So, are you charged?
Don't know.
We should get your story straight
for why you were
at Lea Valley Hospital, okay?
You should probably concentrate
on catching Robert first.
Yeah. You mean we should?
Actually, I was rather
hoping I might get fired.
Hey, you don't mean that.
- Mail, Sarge.
- Cheers.
I meant to call yesterday.
Well done on Freddy.
You did a great job.
Susan wants to give me a medal.
Oh, wow.
(chuckles)
I mean medals are stupid
obviously and for children
but, er, congratulations.
- Look, Lola
- I knew Liam was going to die.
