All language subtitles for Boon s07e04 Deadline

Sometimes I stood here feeling alone.

No one to talk to. I got no telephone.

I was late.

Late?

I overslept.

I don't believe this.

Look, I don't like this job, Harry.

Well, you never said anything to me.

I've been telling you for a week.

Yeah, and I've been telling you we need
the money.

This is bad, Ken.

We've messed this up good and proper,
you know that, don't you?

Look, I am not a babysitter.

I don't want to be here.

And what about the client, eh? What
about Christine Pryor? I mean, what does

want? And we're supposed to be
protecting her.

I know.

Do you know where she is?

Well, she's not here.

No, I know she's not.

She's in casualty.

I phoned the office half an hour ago.

It's not the mind of you, Hardcan.

Harry.

Harry!

Oh, thanks to you.

Well, I never knew that was going to
happen, did I? I'll tell you that.

Well, how is she?

Cuts and bruises.

You'd better think of something to tell
her.

Like what?

Well, Troy, don't sue for breach of
contract, because we're already going

bankrupt. Harry... This is serious, Ken.
We could go out to business because of

this, you know that, don't you? All
right, just leave it out, then. Yes!

You all right?

Yeah. Oh, bloody looks like it and all.

I'd ask if we could have a lie down if I
was you, come on.

Was it her husband? Yeah.

Yeah, her husband.

She opened the door to him herself.

Well, she must have thought it was you.

It should have been me.

It wasn't your fault, mate. Yes, it was.
I should have been there. I should have

been there at eight.

I don't expect her to be locked up in
that house all day and just waiting for

to turn up.

We never wanted the job in the first
place. I made you take it.

I'm going to go in and see her.

Hey, Ken.

There's something I've got to tell you.

I've had a break in at the office.

What? The police are there now.

Harry, what is going on?

I don't know, mate. I don't know.

Ken Boone.

Yeah?

Detective Sergeant Corrigan, Rachel
Street.

Well, there's nothing on the glass.

Carpet's clean. Nothing out there
either.

The invisible man.

Breaks the glass there.

Just kicks in this.

And out the same way without too much
mess.

Simple.

But they don't take anything.

Well, cash box is full.

All the office equipment's there.

Oh.

They didn't take this.

Must be music lovers.

So where were you this morning?

I was at my house trying to get some
sleep.

Yeah, you look a bit rough.

So are you.

You've been getting funny phone calls
all night.

Your husband?

They don't say.

They never say anything.

It's happened before?

Full -time this week.

You could have reported it.

We didn't know the husband was violent,
did we?

You didn't know he was violent? No.

What did she tell you?

She just said he was a bit of a
nuisance.

Oh, he is a nuisance.

He's just done five years for armed
robbery.

He's a villain?

He's a nutter.

In and out like a fiddler's elbow.

Mr Boone, it's Mrs Pryor. She's asking
for you.

A knight in shining armour you turned
out to be.

Why? Grow up, Ken.

Why did you lie to me?

Oh, my God.

You could have told me.

I tried.

You didn't. I did.

The bloke I'm hiding from is capable of
killing somebody.

You feel better now?

Because that's the truth.

So now you know. What are you going to
do about it?

Yeah, that's exactly what I did.

I'm sorry you were involved and I'm
sorry you were misled.

But you got involved and you were misled
and it's a bloody hard world out there,

so you'd better start getting used to
it.

So your husband's a violent criminal?

Yeah. I suppose that's just what he is.

Dear, oh, dear, aren't I a lousy judge
of character?

I misjudged you.

Oh, don't worry again.

I'm all right.

I never did much like this job.

Yeah, I know.

You and me never got on.

Well, you could say that.

But I could have helped you, you know,
if you'd told me the truth.

You were a Boy Scout, weren't you?

Yeah, you were, weren't you?

I can always tell. You've got Boy Scout
written all over you.

Well, while you're doing all your good
deeds, Ken, take a look at what's really

going on out there.

I have to tell you, I've spoken to the
police.

You're such a disappointment, Ken.

I've said I didn't want them involved.

Right, that's it. That's it, we're
finished.

Look, tell him what's his name. I'll pay
him what I owe him if he sends me an

invoice. Look... Just get out while you
can.

This isn't your problem, Ken.

Oh, and thanks.

Thanks for all the help.

You're fired.

All right?

She sacked me.

Sacked you?

No, I tell a lie. She sacked both of us.

Kevin? Kevin?

They should have nicked that.

Do you mind?

I'm not here.

He's not phone.

I'm not here.

You look terrible. Don't you, darling.

Who's not found? The bank.

Crawford Boonski.

I'm sorry, Mr Jackson, that Mr
Crawford's not here.

I can.

Don't you do anything useful.

There was no need for that.

I'll apologise.

If you can't stand the heat, Kenny...
Look, I've said I'm sorry. See what I

mean?

Look, Harry.

Ken.

I don't think you realise the situation
that's facing us.

There is a recession.

The Christine Pryor was practically the
only job we had on.

You're not the only one who's getting
threatening phone calls, mate.

Well, at least we know who's making
yours.

Yes, we know where yours are coming from
at all, don't we? And we know who broke

into the office.

Do you know how much she was paying?

I don't, actually.

Then that's another... Yes, well, I
mean, that's beside the point, then.

I mean, she can afford it. She's broke,
mate.

Broke? She'd only be broke to afford
what I was charging her.

I'm busy.

Harry. If that's Jackson... There's
something missing.

Names and addresses, including yours and
mine, all of us.

I'm sorry.

Right, that's it.

I want everybody in here.

What? I don't care what they're doing, I
want them in here.

Harry. No buts, Ken.

If Pryor's got that disc, he's got my
address.

Oh, I see. It's all right you knew where
I lived, eh?

You were sorry when I lost that job.

I'm not here.

I'm sorry, Ken. I usually keep them
locked away.

It's not your fault. It's... Rocky,
listen, I'm sorry.

Ken, it's all right.

I'm getting used to it.

Go home.

We have got to get this sorted out.

Jed Pryor.

Every picture tells a story.

Once upon a time.

Or in this case, more than once.

Malicious wounding.

That's just for starters.

A string of assaults, some ABH.

And armed robbery.

Released under license.

No trouble since.

Until now.

I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do.

What? She won't press charges. She
wouldn't even see me.

As a matter of fact, she got up and
discharged herself.

We can't leave it like that.

There's nothing else I can do.

There's no statements.

No statement, no crime.

What's happened?

Well, from what I can gather, after Mrs
Prada charged herself, she collapsed on

the way home, brought in by ambulance.

It's not serious, but she has this.

What do you want?

I want to help you.

Don't come to me with your problems.

I want to help.

You want to help?

Stay away from me. That'll help a lot.

Christine. You had your chance. You blew
it.

Look, you listen to me. You need my
help.

What? I know what it's like, you know,
going back to an empty flat.

What? Go on, admit it. I mean, you're
scared going back there in case he's

there.

Get out and stay away from me.

I don't need your help, all right?

I want you out of here.

Now.

Now! Fine.

We've both got that out of the way, eh?

You need therapy.

Look who's talking.

Morning. Still here, then?

Another day, another dollar.

Alex, how's it going?

Oh, great.

Haven't been a dollar worth these days,
anyway.

Not enough.

Alex, how bad are things, really?

Well, really, it's all down to Harry.

Bad as that, eh?

In there, the envelope.

Harry, you're not going to be sick, are
you?

Here you are.

It's all right.

It's dead.

A rat.

Yes, a rat.

In an envelope.

Together we'll see it.

Someone's trying to tell you something,
Harry.

It's not funny, Ken.

No, no, it's not funny.

Pryle. Well, who else would it be?

It's a good job we've dissolved that
association with his wife, isn't it?

Eh?

What?

Hello, Harry.

If you live in a cake shop, you help
yourself to the vanilla slices, don't

What about the other jobs?

What other jobs?

This is a security firm.

I want some security.

I've worked out a router.

A 24 -hour watch will be kept on this
office and on my flat.

Any questions?

When do we get paid?

Thank you, lads, very much. That'll be
all. I'll post it up.

I hate vanilla slices.

That's Mr.

Bundabeger.

Money. They need paying, Harry.

That's not the point, Ken.

Oh, isn't it?

No, it is. That's the thing.

I see.

Well, you were the one who said you
didn't like her.

That was before.

I've seen a different side of her.

She needs help. She's got nowhere to
live.

Well, it's got nothing to do with us.

Well, for a start.

Paying you's taking care of most of her
life savings.

We're the business, Ken.

We've got no time for charity.

I'm really getting sick and tired of
hearing that.

Needs must make when the devil drives.

So what happened to loyalty?

Yeah. You've seen Harry?

Yeah. What's all this?

How are they?

I'm too pleased.

Does that make a difference?

No. But you're not sure?

I am going through with this.

Look, I won't be a burden, Ken.

Listen, love.

I got you in this mess.

I shall sort it out. I owe it to you.

You don't owe me anything.

Thanks, anyway.

Some stuff I don't want him to get his
hands on if he breaks in again.

I hope there's room.

Room's about the only thing I've got
plenty of.

I wouldn't say that.

What have you come at?

What have you been?

Well, you said make yourself at home.

Come on.

Really needed doing.

Did you know you've got ten litres of
good paint in that shed?

Have I?

Oh, bless.

Come on, I want to show you something.

Dry rot.

Right. It's all right. I can fix it.

There's a fall in the floor and your
slates have flipped. I've been on the

You want to patch point the ridge tiles
and your flushings need attention.

Flash it.

I can fix it.

Your timbers need treating, your sills
need rethroating.

Oh, yeah, and your rear wall's moved.

Needs rebuilding.

It's all right. I can labour it.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I wasn't always a villain's wife, Ken.
Don't underestimate me.

I didn't.

So what's the problem?

Well, you don't look like a bricklayer.

I'm a great bricklayer.

Yeah, but you don't look like one.

Well, I should hope not.

Ken, what you said just now about seeing
this through... Yeah?

What?

Thanks.

I've never had anyone stick by me
before.

Now what?

I've never kissed a bricklayer before.

Yeah, you took.

Is that your bed?

Yeah.

It's got woodworm.

Got your diner, mate?

What? You won't get in without it.

It's all right.

It doesn't work.

Dracula. Ken, this is no time for
levity. This is serious.

Well, open the door.

This is ridiculous.

Morning, Ken. Morning.

You've not seen anything yet.

Just a minute.

Make sure you stay there.

Harry, you are being very silly.

Needs much Ken.

You won't get rid of her.

I want some protection.

And you're late.

Ken's right, Harry.

We can't carry on like this.

Out of my hands, Alex.

Ken isn't about to see.

He is definitely cracking up. Careful,
Ken. He's got the place bugged.

I know that.

I may only be the deck chair attendant,
but the ship hasn't gone down yet.

I'm going to phone for reinforcement.

Right, that's it. Eh? What?

This is pathetic, Harry. We're making
ourselves a target.

What else can we do?

Go and look for him.

What? Get out there and look for him.
Oh, no.

Well, why not?

Look, Pryor's a villain. He's got to
have connection.

So we start arcing around.

Pubs, clubs, I know a couple of
possibilities.

What if we find him?

She's right, Harry.

Oh, I thought you'd join in. You've got
a better idea.

Pubs. Villains' pubs.

I'm sorry, Alex.

Call me old -fashioned if you like, but
that's no job for a woman.

What? Rocky can go.

What? With Ken.

You can't go.

And they say that chivalry's dead.

Haven't you got a matching coat of
anything?

No.

I went for complex.

I'm sorry, I was just... No, no, no,
it's all right.

You can look.

Will the real Christine Pryor please
stand up?

Casterdale crime.

Different life, Ken.

And not a very good one.

How do you think we met, Ken?

Jed and me?

What, you want me to guess?

You'll guess wrong.

You're not going to like this.

Try me?

What, Jed and me?

Look,

I've not been entirely honest.

In fact, not being entirely honest is
what I got in trouble for.

With the police.

You've got a record.

I got caught passing stolen cheques.

17 similar offences taken into account.

Six months suspended.

It was a long time ago.

You could have told me, you know.

You can just tell me to go now, Ken.

No, it's fine, Ken. Look, it really
doesn't matter.

If you want to go, that's your decision.

I really don't care what you've done.

I want you to stay.

Do you mean that?

No, of course I don't mean it.

That's enough about me.

There's something I'd like to know about
you.

What are you doing?

I've got to go.

Ken?

I'm looking for a bloke.

No, what I mean is... A bloke called
Pryle.

Jed Pryle.

I'm Pryle.

Jed Pryle?

Yeah. What do you want?

No, he isn't.

I'm Pryle.

You just said he was.

Well, he is.

I've got a split personality.

Now he isn't.

I have.

I should go.

You can't go.

Why not?

It's your round.

Look, I don't behave like that with
everyone I meet, you know.

Look, I promise I'll come back as big as
I can.

But, Ken, don't just walk out on me.

Look, I should have been helping Rocky.

Ken?

He's been here.

He's mad, Ken.

He's gone completely insane.

I don't know.

Feel better?

A bit.

I can lock myself in the toilet and
climb out the window.

It hasn't gone on long enough.

This is a business job for a woman.

Have you been drinking?

Certainly not.

It's Alex.

I'd like to speak to Frank.

Urgently. Who's Frank?

Let's just say we were roommates.

Where's Ken?

I don't know.

No. You've got to do something. You
should go to the police. Make a

I told you I won't go to the police.

You've got a better idea.

I'll go.

No.

Don't go.

Christine. I don't want you to go, Ken.

One of us has got to go.

Don't go.

Look, I'm sorry.

Bastard!

Christine! You wanted to go, so bloody
go!

You're here more than I am.

You should join CID.

I don't want work.

What do you want? I want an arrest.

We found this in my kitchen.

You broke in?

Well, we must have left the door open.

You were there?

Yeah, we were upstairs.

Look, she's been threatened.

Is she going to make a statement about
the assault?

No. Then you're wasting my time.

Why can't you just keep away from her?

Christine Susanna Pryle.

Eyes down for a full house.

Shoplifting. Theft. Obtaining by
deception.

Obtaining with menaces.

Obtain... Do I have to spell it out?

She's a villain.

She used to be.

Oh, spare me.

She needs help.

Don't we all?

How long will she be staying with you?

Until one of us finds Pryor.

You don't need the CID. You need the
Salvation Army.

Someone will get hurt, you know.

Somebody already has got hurt. Thank you
for your time.

You've got a nerve.

I'm looking for the engine driver, not
the oily rag.

Remember what happened the last time we
did that?

Where's Frank?

Where'd you be?

You just can't get this off.

Hello, Frank?

Alex?

You've seen Jo?

I've seen her.

That's nice.

Just like old times, Alex.

Remind you of anywhere?

Yeah.

Somewhere I'd rather forget.

Britain's bad for people, Frank.

It was a mistake.

We got caught. That was a mistake.

You learn by your mistakes.

Only if you don't repeat them.

Those days are over. It's in the past
and I'm not going back there.

So don't ask me to.

So what can I do for you?

In the prison?

I need someone found.

Wait.

Well, why didn't you say so?

Who?

Are you sure it was him?

We'll start it.

The stuffening is up for tomorrow night.

I've seen Frank.

She's arranged a meet with Pryor. Where?

The back room with the feathers.

Oh, no.

When? She's there now.

Right, let's go.

You know, hold on. Are you sure about
this? I mean, think what they did to

Rocky. Yeah, I know. He sent me a threat
and I want to speak with him.

You don't have to come, Harry.

Well, I'll stay here on my own.

Sorry.

No dogs allowed.

Where is he?

He'll be here. Relax.

Relax?

You'll be an old teacher.

Buy us a drink, Ronnie.

Why don't you leave him alone?

You what?

I said leave him alone.

Who are you?

I'll show you who I am.

Ken, no trouble.

That goes double for you two.

What are they doing here?

They're looking for Pryle, all right?

Oh, yeah, why?

It's his wife.

She's in trouble.

His wife?

Pryle's wife?

You never tell me, B. Told you what?

Energy with trouble.

Christine Pryle?

He's talking to you? Okay, man, okay.

You try to help Christine Pryle.

Problem, Billy?

No.

You want one?

You'll wake up with a crowd around you.

He was going anyway.

What's a nice lad like you doing in a
place like this?

I've just saved your skin.

What do you want me to say? Thank you.

You're going back to her?

I won't be there next time.

What was the problem?

You mean you don't know?

She's a snout, Alex, an informer.

Christine Pryor's out Corrigan put most
of the people in there inside.

Are you sure about this?

I don't want to hear from you again.

All right?

It doesn't just need a woman's touch. It
needs completely rebuilding.

I could do it, given time.

No.

You'd make someone a great wife.

Great? Did you ever?

What? Make someone a great wife.

No. No, I didn't.

Isn't that what I am?

What?

I'm like a wife.

I'm a responsibility. You're not used to
that.

Sorry. Sorry, what a stupid thing to
say. No, it's all right.

No, it wasn't.

Look, what I meant to say was I'm really
sorry about earlier.

I just don't like being walked out on.

You were right as well.

I shouldn't have gone.

You know, I like...

We'll talk.

Yeah, but... Hello.

Hi.

Ken and I were just going to call it a
night, Alex.

Sorry, he's absolutely shattered.

Right.

Want you this?

Great. And this.

I thought you might need it.

Don't worry, Ken.

If we don't find him, he'll find us.

Bowling? Jed Pryle.

I believe you're looking for me.

I never hit her.

I never hit her. Ever.

We weren't a marriage made in heaven,
but I never use violence.

And I haven't seen her in over three
years.

Well, who sent this, then?

Not me.

I've not been near her since we split.

She knows that.

I haven't done officers like yours since
I was 12.

Well, the police seem to think you're
capable of it.

No.

Who'd you speak to? Corrigan.

Corrigan?

You don't want to listen to Corrigan.

He's the one who put me away.

Who's that with Ken?

It's Pryor.

Oh. What are you doing?

Oh, great.

No, Harry.

I told him that we could be trusted.

And he's not the problem.

Well, who is?

Hello?

Look, I want this sorted out as much as
you do.

I can't afford trouble.

And Corrigan's trouble.

I'm not the man you want.

But I can prove it.

Ken!

What do you want?

He wants me to help him. Christine.

Chris. Ken.

I've been trying to find you all
morning.

Listen, this is important.

I'm at the supermarket on the high road.

Listen, white or brown?

What? Red.

I didn't know which one you wanted and I
hate to make a mistake.

Listen, I'm with somebody.

I'm with Pryor.

Christine.

You've got this all wrong, you know.

Can't be the judge of that!

Dad?

Look, she just used the phone and left.

Have you got any idea where she went,
mate? Yeah, I'm a mind reader.

So, are we going to pay for this lot or
what?

Look, I know you won't believe me, but
Christine's a liar.

She lied to you and to him.

But why lie?

And why not?

It's what she does best.

She wouldn't know the truth if it jumped
up and bit her.

It's the reason we split up.

Also, I couldn't have hit her.

On the morning she was assaulted, I was
banged up.

Darby Nick.

You can phone me if you like.

For something else I didn't bloody do.

Who's going to tell, Ken?

What are you doing?

Sure, that's obvious, Rocky.

What happened?

Sir?

How many calls have you had since
Christine's been at the cottage?

None. You've got to face it, Ken. We've
been taken for a ride.

I mean, she was probably lying from the
start when you've only got to look at

her record.

Harry.

And Pryle's got a rock -solid alibi.

She can't have beaten herself up, can
she?

No, but there is something else I found
out from Frank.

Christine's worked at Corrigan's
Informer.

There could be several people with a
motive.

Probably dozens.

I'm sorry, Ken.

Chris?

Christine?

What about this deadline?

Anyone can paste letters out of a
newspaper, Ken. Why not Christine?

I don't know.

It doesn't make sense.

It makes perfect sense, Ken.

She needed protection.

Well, she already had that.

No.

No, Alex is right.

She was broke, Harry.

She couldn't keep on paying our fees.

So to make sure you stayed involved, she
created this threat against you.

The phone calls, torturing the car, the
deadline.

I think it was more complex than that.

I don't think she just wanted
protection.

She wanted you.

You'll feel better without her stuff
around.

You know where she lives.

Will you be all right?

Yes, Mum.

She's not here.

It's you.

Yeah, sorry.

She's not here.

Well, what are you doing here?

Do you know where she is?

I told you.

She's not at the cottage.

He's thrown her out.

She left.

If you need help not throwing out.

She left.

Ken couldn't stop her.

She left him as well.

Women.

How well do you... Know her?

You can never really know someone.

Not entirely.

Not ever.

Especially not Christine.

Alex!

I was going to bring you this.

I've cleaned up a bit.

I have a confession to make.

I'm afraid I've lied to you, Ken.

I know absolutely nothing about
bricklaying.

Sorry.

Why?

I wanted to impress you.

You impressed me, all right.

Jed didn't do this. I didn't do it
either.

All I want is the truth.

Well, you won't get the truth because he
won't believe me.

Then tell me a lie.

Go on.

You've lied about everything else.

I am not lying. I am telling the truth.

This is absolutely real. He means it.

Who? Who means it?

Villains' wives make the best
informants, Ken. Did you know that?

No. It's the truth.

The last time they put Jed away, I got
involved with a policeman.

Only he wasn't a very nice policeman,
and I wasn't just giving him

I don't think I want to know the
details.

Well, I think you do. You're involved.

I tried to end it, but he's a violent
man. He won't take no for an answer,

especially from women.

I had no -one to turn to, so I hired
someone.

I hired you.

And the first morning you were late,
Detective Sergeant Dave Corrigan arrived

and put me in hospital.

And now, because you and me are still
together, now he wants you.

So what do we do, Ken?

Call the police?

Or just the ambulance?

I trusted you.

Trusted me?

Yeah.

No, you never really trusted me.

What did you think was in it?

Cyanide.

Why?

What, why the phone calls, the burning
car, the dead rat?

Well, I had to make it real for you,
Ken.

Make you feel concerned for me.

Plus a bit of healthy concern for
yourself.

That's something I learned from
Corrigan.

People function better under threat.

But we were so close.

Yeah, I know.

We went to bed together.

Well, the stick works best if there's
also a carrot.

I don't believe you.

No, I know you don't.

You're a nice man, Ken.

You're the nicest man I've ever met.

You don't deserve this.

But you've been had.

It's a rotten world out there and you're
a lousy judge of character.

You know, you should stop wanting the
truth to be beautiful.

Because the truth is that the truth
hurts.

Why don't you go back to your friends,
Ken?

They both know that's where you belong.

Ruth. No.

Christine. It's all right.

I don't want to talk to her.

I trusted you.

Look at me. Look at the state of me.

I can't carry on like this.

I broke into an office.

Just to get information on him.

If they find out I'm finished... I'm
doing this for you, Christine.

Help me.

What do you want?

Come back.

It's over, Dave.

I'm with someone.

Yeah.

You're a little bit...

Oh,

Jane!

No one does that to me.

Ever.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm all right.

And what happened to him?

Too much whiskey.

Internal investigation?

They want to bring a case against
Corrigan.

You're a world's a part, you know.

Yeah, pretty that, aren't I?

Come on, Ken, let's get out of here.

No, you don't want to go down there.

Would never have worked out, you know.
