Killing Eve (2018) s04e01 Episode Script

1 You just don't seem very happy.
I had a life.
I had a husband and a house.
Both you and I know perfectly well that Kenny didn't take his own life.
Kenny was killed trying to expose the Twelve.
Villanelle is our best chance of getting to them.
Do you ever think of anything else? Admit it, Eve, you wish I was here.
I left a man to die so I could save a psychopath.
No.
I'm totally done with her.
End of story.
Do you know her well? God, you're sexy.
You're a beautiful monster, Villanelle.
She's my boss.
Ex-boss.
- It was a very toxic workplace.
- This is Rhian.
Please You're the one who's been stealing money from the Twelve.
Wherever I go, someone wants to murder me.
It was inevitable.
Go, before I change my mind.
Why kill him? He was a source! One cannot destroy the Twelve.
What's happened to us? - I've killed so many people.
- I know.
I don't want to do it anymore.
Any of it.
Arrgh! Ahh! They are like animals.
The things women post to you.
No.
You're head of town.
If I'm going to die, can I at least take this off? The headline wouldn't be good.
What? Eve? Stand up.
Eve.
How did you find me? Stand up.
Put your hands up.
Take that off.
What are you now? - An assassin? - What are you now? A mayor? Ow! - Why did you do that?! - That was for Kenny.
Tell me how to find Helene.
You can't find someone like her.
I don't even know myself.
They keep everyone separate.
If you find a new recruit, maybe you can track them back.
What does that mean? She looks out for new assassins.
Part of her job, like a talent scout.
- Give me a name.
- I don't have a name.
Villanelle pushed the last one under a train.
- Give me that name.
- You shot me in my hand.
Oh, get over it.
What is she like, Helene? What does she look like? She looks French.
She looks French, okay? If you want to find Helene, why not just ask Villanelle? You're going to die, you know? Whatever this is, you won't come out of it.
Thank God.
You made a believer Out of me I'm moving on up now Yeah, I'm out of the darkness My light shines on My light shines on My light shines on.
Have I ever told you you sound like an angel? Only "sound like"? Oi.
Little Miss Perfect, cat's been sick on the carpet next door again.
I'll deal with it.
It's chunky.
I said I'll deal with it.
Don't know how you do it.
Just sprinkle a highly absorbent powder on top.
I meant I don't know how you can be so good all the time.
I don't have any other choice.
Rhian Bevan.
I brought you a protein shake.
Are you stereotyping me? Oh, God, you're right.
I'm so sorry.
I'll get rid of it.
No, I I'd like Ooh.
I don't want to waste it 'cause it was leg day today.
- Leg day.
- Yes, leg day.
- Are you looking at my ass? - Yes.
God, your life is boring.
Who are we protecting today? You know, I'm going to give it an hour and then I'm gonna follow up on the Helene lead.
Uh, before I forget, I have some admin for you.
This is a written warning from work about your continued absence.
Don't worry, I got one as well.
You're supposed to be covering for me.
Where were you? I got invited to a threesome in the Cotswolds.
Well, Cotswolds is supposed to be lovely.
Next, please.
Another invitation.
This one looks a little anthrax-y.
She's not giving up.
I don't think so.
What? You shot someone.
In the hand.
How did it feel? Like you said it would feel.
- Wanna have sex? - Yes.
You gotta buy me dinner afterwards.
Yeah, if you're any good.
- - At 2:00, you're judging a sand-sculpting competition.
At 3:30, you're explaining British culture to some local schoolchildren.
And this evening, you're going to see a play about the horrors of the Spanish Civil War.
'Humankind cannot bear very much reality.
' Do you know who wrote that? Gandhi.
There's a Mr.
Smith downstairs for you.
Gracias.
Tell him I'll be right down.
Ah.
I can't promise I'll do any of it.
But if I do, I shan't be sober.
Classic, ketchup, mustard, cheese - Pickles.
Onions.
- Pickles.
Yes, of course, pickles.
Mustard, mayo - No.
Mayonnaise? - Mustard Yes, mayo.
- Top and bottom.
- You're a psychopath.
- That's good beef.
- It's vegan.
The bacon too.
What? - I knew that would piss you off.
- Hmm.
It's the funeral home Rhian Bevan's body was taken to.
How did you get this? I've got an old mate from the Foreign Legion.
I saw him do some pretty terrible things to some civilians and I never said anything.
Now he works for TfL, so it all paid off.
Mmm - Oh! - Ah.
See? Let your guard down.
Ohh! See, that's good.
I - Is it good? How about this? - Oh! Oh okay.
Uh.
Ohh.
Ahh.
Any Anyone else want to try me? - Listen don't get cocky now - No? 'cause I'll come back.
I'll do the arm bar and take you down! Thanks, David.
You can have a break.
What do you have for me? Jakub Novotny.
He was found two weeks ago in a disused warehouse on the outskirts of Prague.
You said he was tortured? Flayed alive.
Whoever did this, literally tore strips off him.
- There are pictures.
- Mmm.
This reminds me of something.
- String cheese.
- Oh, yeah.
Just that.
Is this all you have? I told you it's not my investigation.
The BIs don't get involved in murder cases unless they are of national security concern.
Cultural attaché.
We both know that it's code for 'kicked out on your ass'.
I could say the same about you.
You were my most promising student.
You know my daughter died just like Yes, I remember.
Grief makes us strangers.
Even to ourselves.
Carolyn! Just excuse me a moment, Milos.
- Shoo, shoo, shoo.
- Easy.
Easy.
Aren't you going to congratulate me? - On what? - Did you not get the fax? I got promoted.
Apparently, there was an unexpected vacancy on the Russia desk.
It's actually amazing the kind of leverage you get from being shot at work.
Wait! Wait, where are you going? You can't ignore this, Carolyn.
This is your final warning.
This is your final warning.
The Twelve are far more lethal than any of the hostile states or terrorist organisations that you care so much about.
And I am your best hope in understanding them.
If you choose to ignore my expertise, then either they've got to you before me or you're even more dimwitted than I thought you were.
Or you're just desperate.
Stop meddling.
'Cause if you don't, you know what'll happen.
You'll be arrested, tried in a secret court and put in prison for a long, long, long time.
- We will make sure of it.
- Is that so? Nice little jobs in the sun are for those of us that behave nicely, not those of us who still invite Czech intelligence on a beach holiday when they've just be fired.
What exactly are you going to arrest me for? If you hang on, I can show you.
That was you, wasn't it? Paul Bradwell.
You need some cream for that sunburn.
You look inflamed.
Look, I'm going.
I'm going.
- I'm going.
- Muchas gracias.
Wow.
More fish and loaves.
You know, you don't have to live exactly as they did in the Bible.
You can be guided by your own instincts.
It's better for me to have a road map.
Dad? For what we are about to receive, may the Lord make you thank me.
- Amen.
- Amen.
Lucifer, no.
Leave her, May, she's okay.
Lucifer, we talked about this.
I'm sorry.
She needs to realise this is your home too now.
Mmm.
May, Nelle has to find her own place at some point.
She won't want to stay here forever.
It's fine by me.
Well, even if she doesn't live with us anymore, she's being baptised tomorrow.
And once she's baptised, she's part of the family.
I've always wanted a family.
Fish? I thought we agreed we were going to widen your horizons.
Find some interests away from the church.
Well, you wanted me to have a friend my own age.
Now I have one.
Nelle isn't exactly what I had in mind.
Why? Because she's too perfect? Abide with me Wow.
Fast falls the eventide So holy.
The darkness deepens Lord, with me abide When other helpers Let me have a new life.
Fail and comforts flee Please.
Help of the helpless Oh.
- Abide - Come on.
- With me.
- Come here.
Come on.
- That's it.
See? Hmm? - Swift to its close Ebbs out life's little There's nothing to be scared of.
We're all friends here.
Ahh! Ohh.
Can you stroke my hair? Now tell me why you like me so much.
You're kind.
You're funny.
You're generous clever.
You're understanding.
Loyal.
The best person I've ever met.
Oh.
- Hey, what's up? - Don't be pissed off.
She made me drive her here.
Whatever it is, no.
Hmm.
I was about to give you a compliment.
You look purposeful.
Less untethered.
It suits you.
Thank you.
There's been a spate of murders.
All of them tortured, none of them solved.
The first victim was someone in Paul's phone book.
The second was linked to the first, and the third, I suspect, is something similar.
Someone has been hunting down and killing members of the Twelve.
That means they know a damn sight more than we do about who they are, which, in turn, makes me want to know them.
Unfortunately, my avenues of investigation have been recently cut off, so I need you to take up my good work and continue the investigation.
Carolyn.
We've been here before.
I'm hardly asking for a kidney, Eve.
But if I am, I'm offering a slice of lung in return.
You're clearly still looking into them.
Why else would you be working for a private security firm? The people are nice.
I'll pay.
For access.
I mean Money's not a problem.
I have an unfashionable amount of inherited wealth and absolutely nothing to spend it on.
You're still playing the same old game of chess.
So what game are you playing? See, this is what I'm talking about.
I want to sweep the chessboard off the table and set it on fire.
I want to watch those little wooden critters burn.
Keep the file.
You might find you need to know the critters before you incinerate them.
You're kidding me.
You want the file, don't you? - You want the file? - Of course I want the file.
You stink.
You love it.
So, after the sermon, I'll lead you over to the font and present you to the congregation.
'Our Lord Jesus Christ has told us that to enter the kingdom of Heaven We must be born again of water and the Spirit.
And has given us baptism as the sign and seal of this new birth.
- Here we are washed ' - 'Here we are washed - by the Holy Spirit.
' - Of course, you know it already.
Clearly I'm surplus to requirements.
Let's jump to after you've baptised me.
May God, who has received you by baptism into his church, pour upon you the riches of his grace.
May, come here.
Here.
Here.
My guest needs to sit here.
- What guest? - May, does it matter? Nelle, we don't reserve seats here.
Well, I I can't reserve a seat at my own party? Vicar.
Vicar.
Barbara, I'm just running Nelle through the baptism service.
Can I really not reserve a seat at my own party? - Vicar, you're gonna wanna see this.
- In a minute, Barbara.
Lucifer.
Please, Nelle, explain why you were in the graveyard with a shovel.
The cat was dead when I found it.
I I went out late last night to hand out some blankets to the homeless and I I saw it lying on the side of the road, uh, squashed.
Why didn't you tell us? Because you loved it.
Nelle, are you sure you're ready for baptism? I saved you a pretty gory burial.
One of the eyes was not where it should have been.
It's not just Lucifer, it's the fact that you've been here for months and we hardly know anything about you.
I I was, uh born in Russia, abandoned in an orphanage, then sold into slavery Yeah, and you seem more interested in someone seeing you be baptised rather than the baptism itself.
What if you're baptised in a forest and nobody sees you getting baptised? Are you really baptised? Do you believe in God? I believe that people who believe in God are good people for me to be around.
No, I can't baptise someone who doesn't have faith.
I have faith.
- But - No, I have faith I'm not as shitty inside as some people think I am and that I can prove them wrong.
Mmm.
But only if you baptise me.
How can I help? Well, I wanted to ask a couple of questions about I totally understand.
Please, take a seat.
Oh.
Oh, oh.
Okay.
There you are, a throne for a princess.
Look, we have plans suitable Actually, I'm not looking to arrange a funeral.
I wanted to ask a question about one you did a while ago.
Rhian Bevan.
- I'm an old teacher of hers - Pam.
- and wan - Pam! Oh, can't you just maybe look into I'm business, okay? She's other.
- Hi there.
Are you - Hi.
Welcome to J.
Palmeira & Son.
Please, this way.
So It wasn't something that he said to me Come on, come on - What he said was so old - Come on, come on It wasn't something that he did to me Come on, come on - The more he played it so cool - Come on, come on It wasn't something that he said to me Come on, come on - What he said was so old - Come on, come on It wasn't something that he said to me Come on, come on - What he said was so old - Come on, come on It wasn't something that he Uh Your colleague let me in.
I was hoping to ask about one of the people you had in here.
Rhian Bevan.
She was hit by a train.
I taught her when she was a teenager.
Do you remember who was here to send her off? You must have had a point of contact for her.
No? Mmm I suppose.
Could you maybe go and check? Thank you so much.
Without your love Life is dull Without your love There is only Nothing.
Never mind.
I'll get in touch another way.
Do you know Helene? Sorry about that.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
And also with you.
Baptism marks the beginning of a journey with God, our saviour, whi which continues for the rest of our lives.
It is a joyous occasion.
The beginning of a new life.
A life where Jesus walks by your side always.
Do it now.
Therefore I ask, do you turn away from sin? I do.
- Do you reject evil? - I do.
- Do you turn to Christ - I do.
as your saviour? - Do you trust - Just dunk me! There are some decent leads in here.
She's just the kind of girl they would recruit.
Disempowered, disenfranchised, disposable.
- Another 'D' word - Disadvantaged.
Yes.
Good.
Plus, she likes dead people.
Have you ever thought she might just be unusual? Sorry, 'dis-usual'.
Uh-uh.
No, this was different.
The look in her eye.
It was I've I've seen it before.
I can't I can't explain it.
Well, that's an expert analysis.
- Can you put your shirt on? - Oh! Just because I'm not, what, jumping to all your conclusions? Yes, actually.
I don't want to see your nipples unless they're fully in agreement with me.
Okay, well, how about now? Well, now I just want nuts.
Well, they're all gone.
Mmm.
Wait.
Wait, I'm sorry I can't fulfil your insatiable need for nuts.
No, I really want nuts actually.
Hello.
I forgive you.
What? I said I forgive you.
You forgive me? For not attending my rebirth.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
I understand it might be painful for you to see me blossoming.
Oh.
Oh, is that what you're doing? I'm trying to show you I've changed.
You are the same person.
- You are exactly the same.
- I'm not here to argue, Eve.
Maybe I've changed.
Have you thought of that? Maybe I don't need any - What are you doing? - Praying for you.
Oh.
Dear Jesus, please let Eve find faith I don't need your help.
I need you to leave to be who she really is inside.
Give her courage.
Don't you understand Save her like you saved me.
If you'd really changed, you wouldn't have come here.
If you'd really changed, you wouldn't have let me.
Different person.
Ahh! Found her.
Hello.
I said hello.
Is anybody there? You know it would be much, much easier if you just showed me you're real.
Huh, a little wave? Hmm.
Maybe you don't know.
Yeah.
But it's very much in your interest for me to believe in you.
I knew you weren't real.
I'm sorry your guest didn't come.
She doesn't believe I'm a Christian.
- Well - She thinks I'm pretending.
No-one could pretend as well as that.
Not even the best actress in the world.
Depends on the audience.
Well, this audience knows you.
She knows you'd never hurt anyone.
Jesus, Jesus You don't know me.
Help me find my - Ahh! - Proper place Nelle! Help me in my weakness 'Cause I'm falling out of grace Jesus - No! - Jesus No! No! Oh, no, no, no! Oh, my God, are you okay? Huh? Huh? Shh.
Shh Oh.
Shh.
Oh, I didn't kill you.
Oh.
Shh.
Shh.
'Cause I'm falling out of grace Jesus Vlad.
- Hello, traitor.
- Jesus.
Uh, are you who I think you are? What can I say? I'm as surprised as you.
Uh So, uh, what happens now? Oh, easy.
I'll lead you to salvation.
Hmm? - - How is Villanelle? Oh, you know, she's a Christian now.
How do you know she won't kill you? I mean, the Twelve, they've probably got your mugshot on the wall.
What's the matter? Did someone get murdered? Don't try and outsmart me.
You haven't got the neurons.
How many toilet breaks? - I might not come out of this.
- I'm gonna give you four in case of nervous poos.
Your goodness is really starting to pop.
Yes.
