TELEPHONE: Hello? Mum? Sonny?

You've gotta help me. Why? What's happened?

I don't know. I was... I was in this bar and...

Where are you?

Sofia. I didn't do anything, OK? You've gotta believe me.

# Hello, hello, we are the England boys! #

Holiday?

Visiting my son.

I'm at... I'm at a police station.

They just threw me in the back of a van,

and they're not telling me anything.

Listen, Sonny, you just have to tell them the truth.

Did they get you a solicitor? INTERMITTENT TONE

They're coming, Mum. They're fucking mad.

REPORTER SPEAKS BULGARIAN ON RADIO

RADIO: Britanskiyat tiineiidzhur Sonny Conran ubi...

Excuse me. Sonny Conran - what did they say?

The police have made their minds up. They'll twist anything Sonny says.

I've told him to stay quiet until we get to court.

Are you all right? Do you need a minute?

I don't recognise him.

We had a fight, so I hadn't seen him in three months.

DOOR SLAMS

I wasn't sure you'd come.

SHOUTING IN DISTANCE

You've grown your hair. I didn't recognise you.

For a second, I was relieved.

I thought this whole thing was a mistake.

This IS a mistake. I didn't do it.

Yeah, I know. Of course you didn't.

BUZZER

DOOR SLAMS

Why didn't you tell me you were in Sofia?

If I'd have known, I...

I thought you were at your dad's.

Oh, well, you were right about him. He...

Was too embarrassed to come home.

So you went travelling?

Mum, look, those lads in the fire, I...

I didn't even know them.

And-and-and that Bulgarian kid they're speaking about,

um, Kristian Georgiev...

..why would I...?

SHOUTING IN DISTANCE

Um...

Is it... Is it true...

..what they're saying?

Is he dead?

WHISPERS: Yeah.

SOFTLY: Oh, baby...

BUZZER SOUNDS

Conran. I'll be back tomorrow.

We're going to get you out of here - you trust me.

I love you.

SOFT PIANO MUSIC

Morning. Good morning, good morning.

Welcome.

Hello.

Hi, madam. Glass of champagne?

Welcome.

Good morning.

Morning.

Carl had to stay at the hospital. Oh, did he?

Mm. The fresher the sperm, the more accurate the reading.

Oh.

So, did they give him something to watch?

Like, get in the mood?

No. Not even a magazine.

Oh, my God. He had to knock one out in the toilet.

Ooh.

SHE CHUCKLES SOFTLY

Sorry.

It wasn't that funny.

The pressure's fucked up our sex life. Oh, no, babe.

Oh, no.

I'm just like, "Put it in and get it over with."

Oh, babe. I know.

And when do you get the results? Next week.

OK. Mm.

Obviously, I want it to be all right, but...

Yeah.

..if the problem's not him, then I'm f... Hey, hey.

It's all right.

How's Sonny holding up?

He's all right.

Yeah, he's all right. He's putting on a brave face.

Mm.

There's a new jury, and it's new evidence, so...

..they're gonna see sense this time.

I know it.

ENGINE HUMS

RECORDING: The truth - istinata. Is-ti-na-ta.

Istinata.

RECORDING: We were not chanting.

We were not aggressive.

We did not carry weapons.

We wanted to have fun.

The English hooligans started it.

It was Conran who attacked us.

NOTIFICATION TONE

TELEPHONE: Jo, it's me.

This is an intervention on behalf of your social life.

I'm picking you up in an hour. No excuses this time.

Just get up.

LIVELY DANCE MUSIC

Oh!

Ugh!

Oh! With the lime.

OK.

It's fine. Get over it. That's disgusting. Right, come on...

Jo. Uh-huh?

People get cards when they leave.

Do you know something I don't?

It's your P45.

Yeah, Zara's grassed you up for shagging celebrities in first class.

I wish.

Everyone's chipped in - the whole staff.

No. No, I'm not taking that.

We knew you'd say that.

Yeah, and you're going to say it's charity, and it's not.

Just put it in your bag.

Jo, we're all here for you, all right?

Hey. Hey.

You can use it for flights or lawyer's fees.

Or you could just pay someone to dig a tunnel out of the prison.

THEY CHUCKLE

We don't care what people say, OK?

We're here for you - whatever you need.

That is so kind. Thank you.

Love you. Thank you. OK, let's get you drunk.

I'm gonna pay. Break it up.

Vodka and tonic, please.

Uh, two Chardonnays - large - and a red wine and Coke.

LIVELY DANCE MUSIC

Classy.

Calimocho, they call that in Spain. Oh.

And Jesus juice in Argentina.

Well, I'd call that sacrilege.

JO CHUCKLES SOFTLY Yeah, it's for my friend.

I'm sure it is.

Ah...this keeps happening.

What does?

Men talking to you in bars? Well, I'm not surprised.

No.

No. The next thing you're going to say is that

you know me from somewhere.

But trust me, you don't.

You've just seen me on TV or the paper.

Oh, shit, are you famous, then?

JO CHUCKLES

No, I was... I was on the news.

And now people like you keep staring at me.

Wow.

Well, "staring" makes me sound like I'm some kind of stalker.

How would you describe it, then?

It's Friday night.

You know, we're in a bar.

You're a journalist, aren't you?

Look, I'm not a journalist, all right?

And I haven't seen you on the news.

I just wanted to buy you a drink.

Just tap there when you're ready. JO GASPS

Look, you've missed your chance.

Well, look, I had my work ready,

and then you said "red wine and coke"

and it threw me off my stride.

JO CHUCKLES

It's a calimocho, remember, if you want to sound classy. Ah, OK.

Oh, finally! Sorry!

Who was that? Ugh, I dunno. Some weirdo.

Yeah, he don't look like a weirdo.

I think he's just a journalist fishing around for another story.

Oh, my God, you sound paranoid. You're allowed to have some fun.

Don't be a martyr. Come on. Yeah, I want to boogie.

Come on. Are you coming? Yeah, course I am!

You.

What are you doing...?

JO GASPS

Fuck off me!

You...

..we need to talk about your son.

He doesn't look like a killer.

He's innocent.

That's a shame.

15 years is a long time.

It's better to be a killer in there.

Is... Is that live?

TELEPHONE RINGS

We've got her now. Show us the shiv.

What's that?

What's...

What's he doing?

Is this you?

Stop.

Jo, I work for an organisation who know all about you,

and they know all about Sonny.

As you can see, we have people in Sofia West Prison.

And unless you do exactly what we tell you to do,

then they'll kill your son.

In five days' time, you fly to Istanbul.

When you arrive, I'll meet you

at your hotel with three kilos of heroin.

You're gonna bring that back on your flight with you. No, I can't...

You're a senior member of cabin crew.

It's one of your usual routes,

so you won't be suspected and you won't be stopped.

Now, there are options that will inevitably

go through your mind - ways out of this.

Let me just dismantle those for you.

If you refuse our proposal, we'll kill your son.

If you go to the police, we'll kill your son.

If you talk to a lawyer, your boss, a friend, we'll kill your son.

If you run away, you flee the country,

you go into hiding, Jo -

if you do anything other than exactly what we tell you to do,

we'll kill your son.

Now, do you understand what you have to do?

JO SOBS

Please, can you tell him to get away from my son?

There are a number of ways that you can look at this, all right?

This is the one that I would recommend.

Right now, Sonny is on his own, surrounded by serial killers,

rapists, unholy scum.

WHISPERS: But if you do exactly what we tell you to do,

then Sonny will be protected.

TELEPHONE RINGS

Dom...

TELEPHONE: It's 3 o'clock in the morning. Dom, listen, I'm sorry.

There's someone... Keep it down. Melanie's sleeping.

Can you stay on the line, though?

Are you OK?

You don't have to hang up. You don't have to say anything.

Just, please, just stay with me. Jo?

Jo, are you still there?

What's going on, Jo?

WHISPERS: Just stay there.

I don't get this. Are you OK?

Jo! Um...

Yeah, I couldn't sleep, and, uh, I just thought I heard a noise,

but it's... I don't think it's anything.

Look, we said we wouldn't do this.

It's not fair on anyone. Yeah.

CALL DISCONNECTS

TELEPHONE: What are you talking about?

Mum, I've got one minute left.

I've... I've got to go. One minute?!

Well, what else are you doing?! There's a queue.

There's always a queue! Listen, I'm coming to visit. Today?

Yes. I just want to make sure you're being careful. Mum, I've got to...

Stop talking, Sonny, and listen to me.

You don't trust anyone in there, OK?

Stay close to the guards, and if anyone attacks you,

you need to scream.

You scream your lungs out.

And I love you. INTERMITTENT TONE

I love you, Sonny. Mum, I can't.

Yeah, I know.

Of course you can't say it back, but...

They're waiting. OK, but I'm coming now, Sonny.

And you just need to remember everything that I've said,

and I'm gonna see... CALL DISCONNECTS

JO GROANS

BELLS PEAL

What happened?

INAUDIBLE

If somebody attacks you, just scream,

act crazy, make them think you're a psycho.

I want to say I'm sorry.

I haven't said I'm sorry for leaving and for going to live with Dad.

Oh, no. No, no, no, that was my fault.

I... I did know he was back, and I didn't want him in your life,

but I should not have lied to you.

Yeah, well, I get why you did.

Does he even care that I'm in here?

I should have tried harder.

I should have persuaded you not to leave.

I'm a fucking nightmare.

You're probably ready to give up on me.

No, come on, you know that's not true.

I promise, OK?

It will be different once I'm out of here, I promise.

Yes, yes. And Rali says that we should have

an appeal hearing in four months.

Four months?

HE SPEAKS BULGARIAN

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm...

I'm trying... I'm trying to be positive.

It's... God, no, just tell me.

You just have to get me out of here, Mum, OK? Please.

Get them to get me out of here.

SONNY SOBS

700, 750...

..850.

Oh, thanks, Rali.

Look, the prosecution witnesses are definitely lying.

They say one thing to the police,

but then, here, they say another thing in the court.

The differences are really small, but...even so.

Have you ever thought of law school? You'd be a star.

We should swap jobs.

Free flights, five-star hotels - sounds good to me.

But I wouldn't have patience with all those arseholes in first class.

I'd poison their food.

Sonny's been threatened.

He told me that Sofia runs on bribes.

Um...

..can you get him moved to another wing in prison?

And it needs to be done by tomorrow.

RALI SCOFFS

The day after, at the very latest.

You want me to bribe the governor?

If the prosecution finds out, it won't look good.

QUIETLY: I know.

I know.

But you can speak to the right people, yeah?

I can try.

JO EXHALES

QUIETLY: Thank you.

And it's £5,000. Is that gonna be enough?

Double it.

Then we have a chance.

We told you not to see your lawyer.

But I didn't tell her anything.

And, you see, I already had an appointment,

so it would have looked strange if I'd cancelled.

And you went to visit Sonny.

Yeah, because you didn't say that I couldn't.

How is he?

He's all right.

A few bumps and bruises?

The people I work for will stop at nothing.

You need to prepare yourself, all right?

This isn't going to go away.

Tell me what I need to do.

Now you strike with your whole body, yeah?

Not just your hand, not just your arm, right?

You put your whole body into the strike, and you twist.

Got it? All right, pair up.

Now, remember, yeah, if you can run, leg it.

Three months of silence...

..and then you call in the middle of the night.

Yeah, I know. I'm sorry.

I get it if you're pissed off.

It's OK. I'm not.

I called you after the verdict.

I left messages.

Why didn't you reply?

Uh...

..just because we agreed.

What's changed?

Sonny's in trouble.

Some inmates...they've beaten him up.

Is he OK? Well, he's putting on a brave face, but,

no, he's terrified.

He's terrified. Yeah.

And I am too.

So I need some money to get him moved, right?

Well, you got the cheque from the staff?

Yeah.

Yeah, I need more than that.

I need five grand more.

For what?

A bribe?

I know this is a lot to ask of you.

Is that what you're doing?

Asking ME?

I've got no one else.

Me and Mel, it just...

..hasn't been easy since I went back.

If she found out I was even...

Yeah, no, I get it.

I do.

Hi, Rali.

He's corrupt, so I'm hopeful.

Check your messages when you land.

Jo, it's Rali. I've talked to the governor.

He's going to confirm with me tonight.

I'll call you as soon as I know.

Hiya. Hey.

The fucking little zoomers don't think we can last the pace.

Are you bailing?

I am. I've got to call Sonny.

If you can forget about Sonny for a night,

I won't mention sperm count, IVF, or blocked fallopian tubes.

Please.

Please, Jo, please. Come on a night out.

It'll do us good, even if it is just next door.

Please, please. I'm gonna see you there later.

All right.

But you'll be playing catch-up. Sure. All right?

Don't be long. Sure. And don't be boring.

You need a drink - settle your nerves.

Calimocho?

A vodka - straight.

Can I get two vodkas on the rocks, please? Of course.

What's the story, then, if someone's watching?

Story? I'm a stranger.

I offered to buy you a drink.

You're attracted to me, obviously.

I'm bored, you're lonely, I take pity on you.

And then I win you over. I leave after one drink.

Right, as long as we're on the same page. Thank you.

Cheers.

Look, you're terrified - I understand that.

Do you know what happens to me if I get caught?

If the Turkish police catch you,

you'll get 20 years in a medieval prison - maybe more.

But I work for some fucking scary people, Jo.

And they don't deal in maybes, all right?

You think that you're gonna get out of this, don't you?

My bosses are ruthless people.

They don't like being messed around.

I've done everything you asked.

You gave ten grand to your lawyer to bribe the governor.

Mm-hm.

Well, we gave her 15 to drop Sonny's case.

She wouldn't do that.

Oh, we didn't give her a choice, Jo.

And my bosses have given instructions

to kill your boy, Sonny.

I told them that you were scared...

..that you deserve one last chance.

I need you to understand, all right?

You're expendable.

Sonny is expendable.

I'm fucking expendable.

So no more mistakes, all right?

We have to get this right. Mm-hm.

All right? Mm-hm.

Do you remember what I told you?

You pack the bags tight.

Um...

..yes, so they don't show up on the X-ray. Yeah.

And what about the sniffer dogs?

Um, I'm going to cover the bags with hair conditioner

so that it disguises the scent.

Mm-hm. Good.

Dominic Delaney.

Yeah, he's a customs officer, and you've been meeting up with him.

Yeah, because he's a friend.

Well, now he's a fucking risk.

All I told him was that Sonny was being threatened.

And that's why he gave me that money to bribe the governor.

Well, that is some friend, isn't it?

He's more than that, Jo. No, he was.

He's married, isn't he?

He was separated when we were together.

She cheated on him.

And now?

Well, he went back to her. They've got kids.

Right. He left you?

He's a really, really good person. He did the right thing.

You don't need to worry about him.

People look at you and they don't see a drugs mule.

They see someone just doing their job.

Drug mules, they look a little desperate and they look guilty.

They travel too often and they travel too light.

That's why they get caught.

But you've just got to pretend that this is another day.

It's just another job.

You're the last person that anyone is gonna suspect.

That's why you're not going to get caught.
