Original subtitles

This programme contains strong language and scenes of violence.

Is it true what they're saying? Is he dead?

QUIETLY: Yeah.

Jo, we need to talk about your son.

We have people in Sofia West Prison.

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

we'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 going to bring that back on your flight.

Three months of silence,

and then you call in the middle of the night.

What changed?

My son is in trouble.

So I need some money to get him moved.

You gave ten grand to your lawyer

to bribe the governor?

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

You fly to Bangkok next week. It's the same deal.

What happened? Sonny OK?

You can talk to me.

PHONE BUZZES

HE SIGHS

I need your help.

Call the police.

I've still got contacts on the force.

I'll call someone I trust.

They've got procedures for cases like this.

They'll put you in a safe house,

somewhere no-one can find you.

And what about Sonny?

Spy with my little eye something beginning with...

THEY SHOUT PLAYFULLY Pass!Ah!

Ah!Ah!Thank you. Yes. HE LAUGHS

Why were the cabin crew checked?

We heard a rumour that a flight attendant was smuggling cigarettes.

OK, so no-one tipped you off about me.

You're not going to keep doing this.

Dom, I don't have a choice.

WHISPERING: So why are you telling me?

Give me a kiss. Yes.

Bye.

What about the lawyer?

Cormac got to her first and now she's not...

She won't pick up her phone.

And the money?

Why did you change your mind about that?

Lucy had a nightmare.

She was scared.

She needed me.

You couldn't imagine not being there for her.

What exactly are you asking me?

DISTANT POLICE SIRENS

Can you be on shift when my flight gets in

and then look the other way when I walk through customs?

INDISTINCT SPEAKING OVER PA

BEEPING

Thank you. Don't thank me. I haven't agreed to anything.

It was random.

I didn't know you were working.

Right.

You looked scared.

Cos I looked scared? Yeah, it's a red flag.

I should have stopped you.

You were coming from Bangkok. Uh-huh.

If drug mules get caught there... Yes, the death penalty.

I can't let you do this.

I must be out of my mind.

Listen, between me and you...

..there are things we're trained to look out for.

You're walking too fast.

We look for people in a hurry.

Slow down.

OK. And don't look at anyone from customs.

That's another red flag. OK.

Use your training.

You guys always look so confident.

Throughout the last three months, I've watched you walk

through customs with a smile on your face.

No-one would think you had a son in prison.

So you know how to put on a front.

Forget about what's in the bag.

Wheel it behind you. Don't look at it. Don't hold it too tight.

BEEPING

Smile.

Passport, please.

Next. Passport. STAMPING

Don't walk too fast or too slow.

Stay close to cabin crew. Blend in with the crew.

Tell me what I need to do better.

No, that was perfect. You're smashing it.

But look, it's still a matter of time.

Till I get caught, you mean.

Yeah.

I have earned the right to say this.

You're risking so much.

What if...

What if Sonny's lying?

What if he did kill that kid?

Would it make any difference?

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

11, 12, 13, 14, 15,

16, 17, 18, 19, 20,

21, 22, 23, 24, 25,

26, 27, 28, 29, 30.

Can you get rid of this? Sure.

Can you keep a secret? Oh, go on. Which pilot this time?

Oh, hang on. You've been holding out on me, too.

That weirdo from the pub? Saw you both

in the hotel bar in Istanbul.

Go on, give me all the details.

WHISPERING: Spoilsport.

LOUD BEEPING, PHONE BUZZES

SHOUTING: Security check!

This is a security announcement.

Could all passengers please have their bags ready for inspection?

Come around this way, please.

This is a security announcement.

Could all passengers please have their bags ready for inspection?

Get your bag checked.

HIGH-PITCHED BEEPING

Airport staff, IDs ready.

This is a security announcement.

Could all passengers please have their bags ready for inspection?

HIGH-PITCHED BEEPING CONTINUES

Ooh! Oh! Sorry. What are you doing?

Oh, the queue was massive so I just thought I'd pop to the loo.

Come on.

Look, I'm sorry I didn't search your bag.

I was outranked, standard procedure for a bomb scare.

No, no. Uh... No, you warned me.

PLANE LANDS OVERHEAD

So?

Where did you hide it?

In the baggage claim toilets, in the tampon machine.

I know, I'll go back later.

I'll say I lost my purse in the chaos, eh? Yeah.

Wait till the police have gone, yeah?

Yeah, of course.

Oh. Getting good at this.

Well...

..the police could be there all night. Just go home.

Come back first thing.

No, I'm staying. But you don't have to wait.

You've done enough, Dom. Thank you.

Thanks for being here for me.

Jo...

..maybe I could... No.

No, it's OK.

Count this.

PLANE LANDS

WATER RUNNING

Oof.

You look great.

No.

Did you find it?

Your purse?

Oh, no.

I know what's going on.

With Sonny, your boy.

There's all these theories online.

I reckon it's a stitch up.

Blame the English kid.

I hear you.

Sonny...Don't you laugh this off.

You need to get put in solitary.

What are you talking about?

No, there's no time to explain.

I don't get it.

Darling, you need to hide.

Why?

Because there's some, um...

There's rumours in the press.

I can't tell you any more than that.

Mum, I told you, I'm OK now.

I've got...I've got mates.

Do you trust me?

Yeah, but...

No, do you trust me?

Yeah. Right, then you start an argument,

you insult a guard.

You don't think about this.

You just do exactly what I'm telling you.

What if I can't?

I'm gonna get cut off, you need to figure this out, Sonny.

You need to start a fight, I don't know you just...

Why don't you hit someone?

Because you can do that, Sonny, I know it.

PHONE BLEEPS

Shit!

DIAL TONE

You hid it in the toilets?

There were armed police everywhere, customs searched every single bag.

You didn't have a choice.

You're smart, You were thinking on your feet.

Does anyone else know?

Dom?

There's no way he stole it.

No way, he's, um...

He's helping me.

For fuck's sake.

He's risking everything, his family, his career, why?

Because he loves you?

Or he's playing you?

No.

No.

He's ex-police, you can't trust him.

I say the word...

..and you know what happens...

..to Dom, to Sonny.

And me?

You've got 24 hours.

PRISON ALARM SOUNDS

See you next week, Yeah?

Oh.

All right, bye.

Bye. Take care, bye-bye.

Jo...

Mel comes to this class. Did you take it?

What?

The heroin.

Are you for real?

Did you? No.

Why would you think that?

What would I do with it?

Jo, I used to be police.

Yeah, that's what Cormac said.

SHE SOBS #S

WHISPERS: F...fuck

Oh, it's going to my head. I'm a fucking mess.

Course you didn't take it.

You told him about me?

No. He followed me for months.

So the heroin's gone? Yeah.

Yeah. I went by this morning, like we planned,

and it wasn't there.

You're in danger? Yeah.

SHE BREATHES SHAKILY

But so are you.

Me? Cormac suspects you.

Wh...why?

You're the only one who knew.

Nah, nah.

Thousands of people go through that terminal every day, right?

Anyone could have seen you.

So you need to go away.

Just don't...don't tell anyone where you're going, not even me.

Call in sick. Just...take a holiday.

And...you need to take Mel and the kids.

WHISPERS: The kids?

No, this needs to stop.

OK? You've put my family in danger.

Yeah, you need to go.

And don't come back until I tell you it's safe, OK?

Jo... Jo!

No-one else knew.

No.

But, like you said, anyone could have seen me.

Look at it another way, yeah?

Security at the airport was airtight yesterday.

Every passenger who came through Customs was searched.

Yeah, so was every member of cabin crew.

Right. So who was in a position to find the heroin?

What, just walk through Customs unchecked?

SCRAPING

INDISTINCT CONVERSATION

HE BREATHES HEAVILY

ECHOING: You need to go away.

STEAM HISSES

HE TUTS

LINE RINGS

You work fast.

He didn't give me much choice.

Sonny's in solitary.

Bravo.

He's full of surprises.

Tougher than you let on.

You say that he's innocent? Yeah, he is.

He's found your drugs - what are you waiting for?

You know that we can get Sonny in solitary.

There's nowhere that he's safe.

And if I told my bosses about the missing heroin,

then Sonny would be dead.

You and Dom, too.

So I'm doing you a favour. Do you understand?

Good.

INDISTINCT CONVERSATION

OK.

Here's your chance.

What are you going to do?

Nothing.

Take this and go get our fucking drugs.

Is it loaded?

You'd shoot me if it was.

I can't do this. I...

The cleaner's name is Marta da Silva.

She's Portuguese.

How do you know that?

She's been here for 13 years. Her brothers, too.

They work hard.

Day jobs, but they're not connected to a gang.

They've got no criminal record.

Please...

..don't make me do this.

They're opportunists. They're nobodies.

They're out of their depth. God...

They've put Sonny's life at risk.

Now, that heroin, it means more to you than it means to them,

and that is why you can do this.

Give me your car keys.

Why?

I'll park right outside.

You go knock on the door. You point the gun at Marta.

You scare the shit out of her.

I'll be waiting outside with the engine running.

SHE EXHALES HEAVILY

TRAIN RUMBLES PAST

SIREN WAILS

WHISPERS: Stay back. Please, don't hurt me.

Please, don't hurt me.

Where is it?

Marta!

Come on, please.

It's here...

It's here.

Yeah.

It is here.

It...it's here.

Aqui...

Aqui.

Show me. There.

It's here. OK, I'll... No, leave it.

Go back.

Cos this saves my son's life, this.

It saves him. Do you understand?

SMOKE ALARM BEEPS

Fuck.

THEY GRUNT AND MOAN

What the...?!

Stay back!

SHE GROWLS

Stay where you are.

Get down on the ground!

SHOUTS: Down on the fucking ground!

Hands on your head!

Where is it?

GASPING: Sink.

Under the sink.

Go on, then.

BEEPING CONTINUES

Come on. Yeah.

Stay where you are. Don't fucking move!

Go, go, go! Run, right there.

SHE SHRIEKS

Argh!

A holiday?

Where?

It's a surprise.

Do we need our passports?

No! It's just a short break to the seaside.

Have you booked somewhere?

Kind of, all right?

It's a mate from work.

He's got a holiday home he rents out.

He had a last-minute cancellation. He asked me if I wanted it.

Well, you know, why not? Could be nice.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's a bit sudden.

Which mate?

What? Which mate?

Er... Whose house is it?

Dom...

CORMAC: I'm gonna need that back.

My keys.

KEYS JINGLE

You did well.

This time.

Get some sleep, yeah?

Babe...

..did something happen at work?

Where are the girls? I told them to get ready. Hey, stop.

Dom, what's going on?

Is this a panic attack? No.

Just talk to me. Tell me what's going on.

How can I help? No, we gotta go.

All right, now you're scaring me.

And the girls, too.

I don't understand what's going on. None of this makes any sense.

I've got work tomorrow. The girls have got school.

We are staying here.

OK? I know there is a problem but, whatever it is,

we can talk about it.

Running away from it is not going to help.

HE BREATHES HEAVILY

I wasn't there for you before, but I am here now, all right?

Let's go back inside.

Yeah?

OK.

KEYS JANGLE

LOCK CLUNKS

DOOR CREAKS

Let's go.

BOY'S VOICE ON PHONE: Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...

VOICE ECHOING: ..nine, ten, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18...

COUNTING CONTINUES

..35, 36...

Oh! Unlucky love.

Fuck off, Mum!

Turn the camera off!

SCRATCHING AND GRABBING

METAL CLUNKS

You don't think she'll call the police?

Well, what would she say?

Yeah, yeah, you're right.

Cormac?

He didn't call for backup?

He's on his own.

SHE SCOFFS

Why take that risk?

But you're OK.

Well...

HE LAUGHS

HE GROANS

I keep thinking, if I hadn't left...

..none of this would have happened.

If you hadn't have left, I would have kicked you out.

HE LAUGHS

No, you were right. I did shut down when Sonny got arrested.

I just...

I just didn't want any distractions.

But...

..maybe we were too quick.

To end it?

WHISPERS: Yeah

I did need you.

I just didn't...

I'm not very good at saying it.

And I've thought about what you asked...

..if Sonny did it.

And would that make a difference?

When he was little,

he used to juggle his football in the garden, right? Just...

Oh, the focus.

Dead quiet, eyes on the ball, count every kick in his head.

I used to love watching him do it.

But then, one day, it just...just started to bother me a bit,

and I realised...

..it was because, for the very first time,

I didn't know what he was thinking.

He wouldn't tell me, and if I pushed it...

..oh, my God, he would...

He would lose his shit.

And I mean red mist, full meltdown.

So, whatever that was, whatever made him angry...

..I think that's my fault.

No, no.

It isn't your fault.

He's a good kid.

And I would...

I would swap places with him in a heartbeat.

Cormac sent one of his men to watch my house.

Oh, my God. He tried to intimidate me.

I'm so sorry.

Just, it made me think how terrified you must be.

When Mel left me, I was at rock-bottom.

You were there for me.

Now it's my turn.

I've been on the back foot for too long.

No more running, right?

I've got contacts. I'm gonna do some digging.

Well, we can't go to the police.

I'll be discreet. No, no. Look, who the fuck is Cormac?

Where's he from? Who does he work for?

Oh, Dom...

The more we find out, the quicker we can start to fight back.

Is that what you want to do?

We fight back.

Starting now.
