# Sometimes I feel I've got to run away

# I've got to get away

# From the pain you drive into the heart of me

# The love we share Seems to go nowhere

# But I lost my right

# For I toss and turn Can't sleep at night

# Once I ran to you

# Now, I run from you

# The tainted love you've given

# I gave you all a boy could give you

# Now, take that my tears And that's not nearly all

# Tainted love Tainted love. #

MUSIC: 'Disco Inferno' by The Trammps

Hiya.

'Sometimes it feels like I bankroll half of Soho.'

'Policemen on the take, dancers from the club.'

'And now my darling husband's making movies.'

That's it beautiful. That's it. Slower, slower.

She's too busy playing happy families

with my little Kitty.

Four years old and already Desrae's living doll.

And Eamonn? I've moved on.

Oh, all right?

Hi.

Thanks for the drink.

Any luck?

I'm having to tread a bit carefully.

Anti-corruption, they're... They're all over us now.

It's not like it was.

I've had bricks through three of my shop windows. I know.

I'm losing money. And I will deal with it.

I always have, haven't I?

Don't tell me, you'll need more money.

It's never been about the money.

There was something else.

Look, I'm really busy, Richard.

So when did London get so hot?

Tell me about it. I get through four shirts a day.

Hm.

It's getting harder to do business with you.

People are getting paranoid.

Would you rather not take our money, then?

Oh, I'm not sure what would happen to me

if I snubbed your Irish friends.

So the boat arrives tomorrow evening from Cape Town.

I've got men in the port ready to unload.

Transport's ready.

The goods will be in London next morning. OK.

So... how long since you were last here? Five years.

Has it changed much? I don't know.

I'm meant to be keeping a low profile. Ah, come on.

That's boring. I thought you'd want to take in the sights.

Well, maybe I might be able to squeeze in one or two.

I don't want to lose you again, Eamonn. You won't.

CHEERING All right, my lovelies.

Are you ready for me? CROWD: Yeah!

And are you ready for the night of your lives?

CROWD: Yeah!

Now, young Tony and I are gonna go up and down the queue

and just pick a few people to go to the front, all right?

So who'd like to go to the front? CHEERING

Let's see, let me have a look at you.

You, sir, are winning in every department,

go to the front of the queue. Oh, thank you!

Look at this cute, little couple, I'm gonna corrupt you later.

Get to the front of the queue.

MUSIC: 'I Feel Love' by Donna Summer

Hi.

Long time.

I'm working.

Cathy, I've travelled 3,500 miles to see you.

What did you do that for? You wouldn't answer my calls.

I thought you'd have got the hint.

Well then, now that I'm here, maybe you can make it more clear.

Cathy. Hey, hun, have you got a moment? There's...

Eamonn, Christ. Tommy, nice to see you.

Yeah.

So how's tricks? What are you up to?

Erm, movies. Yeah, I'm directing stuff.

Erotica. We're doing great and I'm busy.

So, Eamonn, I didn't expect... Cathy, I don't understand.

I don't have time for this. Talk to me.

No. All right, then, I'm sorry,

I shouldn't have turned up like this.

Can I see you where it's not so...? This is all a bit crazy.

This is my life. What, all the time?

Have a drink... on the house. Then, you should go.

Cathy. I know your stupid games, remember?

Coming in here with your dick swinging.

Leave me alone.

Eamonn!

Eamonn, wait.

What was that with you and Cathy?

Oh, don't just... You two, you looked kind of...

I thought you and I had a deal, Tommy.

I give you money, you launder it, I pay you a fee.

Yeah, understood. A fee, a fixed percentage.

You don't start then creaming extras off the top.

Do you know what the IRA do to people who steal from them, Tommy?

No. You need to get that money back now.

But I've spent it.

Well, then you're going to lose your legs, Tommy.

I just want to get it straight,

because I thought you two were like brother and sister.

I never said that.

We go back a long way, that's all. Yes, and what does that mean?

Nothing.

Anyway, you said you wanted something at the club,

what was it?

Yeah. I need to get my hands on some cash. What for?

A business opportunity. Go on.

Do I have to explain myself every single time? Yes.

My dad left me the business, OK? I don't think...

I think we both know what would happen

if we let YOU run the business.

And why are you always stuffing that shit up your nose, anyway?

Oh, because it keeps me nimble. Bollocks.

Where have you been?

I had the meeting with Jan.

That finished hours ago.

Are you checking up on me?

We're in the middle of a war. Yes, you might well be.

I'm doing business.

You should be here, not me.

It should have been you locked up for all these years.

There she is.

Hi, Kitty, hiya! Hi, Mummy.

Well, how do we look?

We look groovy, man.

I taught her that.

Keep on trucking.

10-4, good buddy. Now, have a seat.

SHE LAUGHS You're funny. Groovy Kitty.

Look, I'm, erm... I'm swamped.

I'm sorry, could you take her downstairs?

I don't have time.

Darling, erm, I've got company, if you know what I mean.

And I've got a business to run, if you know what I mean.

This place needs grown ups.

You asked me to bring Kitty back here by ten o'clock.

And now I'm asking you to just...

Just...

Do you want to deal with all this stuff? Do you?

Kitty, why don't you go down to the bar get a nice glass of juice.

Hm? All right?

OK. Come on, I'll be right here.

Oi, oi. Oi! SHE IMITATES GUN FIRING

HE BLOWS

Buy her something.

DOOR SLAMS

SHE SNIFFS

Busy?

What's happened, Cathy?

Your life is so perfect, is it?

I guess we all make our choices, don't we?

Come on, Cathy, it's me.

Why are you here?

Why are you so surprised I'd want to come and see you, Cathy?

Come on, Cathy, it's me.

My mum died.

Cos I changed my name,

they didn't know she had a next of kin, or anything.

So all there is is some paperwork.

A notice, "To whom it may concern."

That's it.

I'm sorry.

I always liked her, your mum.

When's the funeral? Do you want me to come with you?

I'm not going. She's your mum.

She was a whore.

And your dad was a drunk.

What they did to us, it...

SHE LAUGHS We're not normal.

And I don't know why you're pretending we are.

And if I did go, I'd go with my husband.

Yeah, right. Don't.

You mention his name, everybody laughs.

You don't know him.

And I'm not your little Cathy anymore.

So that's it? I just go?

That's it.

Bye, then.

DOOR SLAMS

All we've ever had is each other.

I can't love anyone, but you.

I don't know anything about this.

Inspector, this department's been accused of endemic corruption,

top to bottom. I don't know anything about this.

I have statements from officers. I don't know anything about this.

Officers of all ranks. Detective constables.

I don't know anything... Shut up!

I don't know anything about this.

Sir.

OK.

We all know the game.

We have to prove it.

And even bent coppers are innocent until proven guilty.

I hope in your dealings with Cathy Pasqualino

and the Peppermint Club

you've left nothing that might incriminate you.

Of course, if you had anything

that might help an investigation into them, who knows.

He called again.

Wanted to know if you were coming over this afternoon.

Apparently you're being coy.

You see, Kitty Kat,

some people might think your ageing auntie here...

Less of the ageing, thank you very much.

..is avoiding that man,

because he happens to be someone special,

not just one of her, you know... Alfie.

And one might think, little lollipop, that Grandma here

doesn't want to do anything that might make her genuinely happy.

She's a grieving widow. She has a thing for black.

So '60s.

You... are an idiot.

Yes, but I'm a young idiot.

SHE LAUGHS

All right, all right, we'll go out.

It will be a disaster. Of course it will.

That's why you can't stop smiling.

THEY CHUCKLE

It was a nice service.

Not surprised you didn't come.

I nearly didn't come at all.

Was anyone there?

I'm under investigation.

I heard.

You're not my only friend in the force.

At least I'm a friend.

A friend who's always been there for you,

always done everything he can for you.

I don't know what I'm gonna do now.

I've only got two things in my life. My job and...

HE SCOFFS

Do you feel guilty, Cathy? Cos I don't.

I look at you and see how well you've done.

What you've become.

I've been a part of that. I never asked you to.

I'd never have let you. I wanted to protect you.

I didn't want you to go to prison.

I didn't want you to end up like your mother.

You had no right. You were 14.

You had no right!

Look at you now.

Look at you.

You're so beautiful. I have to go.

I'm so sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm a bit of a mess.

Get off me. Richard! What the hell are you thinking?

For ten years, you've followed me around

like some stray dog. Why?

After everything I've done. Everything? What?

You think I should be grateful?

All you've done is control me, used my mum, used your job.

Well, I'm not going to let you control me any more.

I am free of you now. Cathy. Cathy!

Bye, Richard.

OK, Candy, that is lovely, darling. Now, Bruce...

Bruce, mate, slow it down a bit. HE GROANS

OK. Take the crucifix off. Erm, all right.

Yep. Lovely.

Now, Bruce. Yeah?

Bruce, move her hair, so I can see your...

Perfect! Now, that's what I call art.

No, don't stop, keep working.

You've got debts to clear, haven't you?

Do you know why they get you to roll up your trouser leg

before they shoot you?

It stops the knee getting infected.

Means they don't have to amputate.

But seeing as you're English,

they'll probably just pop you one in the back of the nut anyway.

Get the money, Tommy.

Here you are, in you go. Daddy!

Hello there, Kitty Kat. How's my best little girl?

Right, she's all yours.

No, I can't, you've got to keep her.

Daddy... But, darling, I'm going out.

And Cathy's already dropped out on me today.

I've got stuff I need to do. Well, tough.

And more importantly, how do I look? Oh, fine.

OK.

Right.

Got to go. See you.

Des.

What's going on with Cathy and Eamonn?

I dunno what you're talking about, Tom. Desrae!

Nothing.

It was all five years ago.

Don't worry about it. What was?

Just forget about it.

Have fun, you two. Yeah.

DOOR CLOSES

Smile, Daddy.

Listen, honey, I've got to go someplace, OK?

Who do you normally...?

Will you be OK if... I-if I leave you here?

No.

OK, sweetheart, you stay here.

I'll be five minutes. I want to come with you.

I know, b-baby, but t-this is work. OK? It's not...

Roll up your windows. Please, please, pretty please.

Please, please?

OK, you can come with me, but on two conditions. Yes!

One, you can't say a word.

OK, and, two, we never, never tell Mummy about this.

Deal?

Deal. OK.

Your main man, Briggs. He's a big guy, yeah?

Yeah, always happy to do business with the porno guys.

You sort out your cocaine, I'll give you that.

Sweetheart, come and sit down.

Like I said, this guy,

he's desperate for the stuff in bulk.

We stand to make a lot of money. Nice one.

Cool. So, I'll take the stuff for him.

Get the money and we'll split the profit nice and easy.

Whoa, whoa. I thought I was just selling my stuff to you.

No, I told you this on the phone. I haven't got the cash

and you haven't got the distribution.

This is why you need me.

I'm meant to just let you walk out here with all my stuff?

Come on, Jonas, you know me. I'm not going to do a runner, am I?

You can't just walk out without some sort of collateral, Tommy.

Well... Something. What about your car?

How am I supposed to get to the deal without a car. Be serious.

Erm...

We could take the girl. What?

We take the kid? Yeah.

I don't know.

But I guess you're gonna have to come back for her, then, aren't you?

Five o'clock. Got to be back by five.

It's all there.

Yes, I did tell you. You did, you did.

Can't see why everyone's worrying.

These will be in Liverpool tonight ready for the boat.

Great. So you haven't been messing about, after all.

What's with the sarcasm?

Who's your contact at the Peppermint Club?

My contact?

No, it's no-one. No-one you need to worry about.

But people are worried about you, wandering all over town.

Seeing people we don't know, saying things we can't hear.

Hey, look, listen, you can completely trust me.

Your problem, Eamonn, is that you've never really seemed

that dedicated to the cause.

It's always been about money and power for you.

That makes people nervous.

Hi.

It's hot, huh? Yeah.

WATER RUNS

What? Why have I been cut out?

What do you mean?

Before, you wouldn't tell me what you were up to.

Today, I get the third degree from Driscoll.

I'm doing my job.

I'm not betraying the IRA by seeing old family friends.

Yeah, but she's not just family, is she?

Caitlin, you can't start...

Bloody hell.

You can't start suggesting... You're here to work.

With me.

You're here to be with me.

Jesus, about bloody time.

What kind of outfit do you call this?

Right, so it's all there.

Shit!

HE WINCES

HE GRUNTS, MOANS

HE MOANS

Fuck!

Fuck!

HE BANGS ON DOOR

Jonas!

KITTY SCREAMS

Kitty! Kitty!

SHE SCREAMS

Let me in! Kitty!

What else? That's it, that's all I know.

Think, just think. Look, Jonas won't harm her, OK?

He's a regular guy, we've called the police,

they know where he lives.

We're gonna find her, I'm sure of it.

How could you do this?! How could he take our daughter?!

Our daughter?

What? You and Eamonn.

You know, I did the maths.

I always wondered why you got so wired whenever he turned up.

You and him, five years ago.

Are you saying you did this, because you thought...?

No! I don't know.

She's my little girl. She's my little girl, right?

You stupid, stupid...

Cathy, come on now, calm down. What were you thinking?

Leaving my daughter with him. It's my fault now, is it?

He's a drug addict! Hold on.

Who were you screwing

while he was selling my daughter for drugs? Don't.

You're both... You're both children!

I can't. I can't cope. I can't carry you.

I love Kitty and I've always treated her like she's my own.

No! You abandoned her as soon as a cheap screw minced past.

She's your daughter, Cathy.

Your child.

If it was just you and me in a room and Kitty came in

she always ran to me, didn't she?

You pushed us all away, Cathy.

You're not like your mother.

You're worse.

Oh, my God.

BANGS ON WINDOW

Do you know what the IRA

do to people who steal from them, Tommy? No.

Seeing as you're English, they'll probably just pop one

in the back of your nut, anyway.

How could you do this?! How could you take her daughter?!

Our daughter?

I can't. Yes, you can!

HEART MONITOR BEEPS

I'm not your little Cathy anymore.

So that's it? I just go?

That's it.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Hello, Eamonn.

Normally, we'd pick you up off the street.

But you're being watched, so we thought we'd come to you.

I'm DS Hargreaves, that's DC Chambers.

And you're Eamonn Docherty.

No, that's... Don't. Please.

We haven't got time.

Your IRA colleagues are planning

to maim and murder hundreds of people.

Your girlfriend's right at the heart of it.

If she wasn't, we'd just chuck you over to Bethnal Green CID

and get you locked up for the murder of Caroline Dixon.

But she is.

You want me to spy on the IRA? Yeah.

You need to stop messing around with Cathy.

You're making them all nervous.

You need to get back to the cause.

Show them what a dedicated soldier you are.

HE SIGHS

You're gonna find out when and where they're planning the next bomb.

You belong to us now.

They've got contacts.

People on your side.

If they find out I'm working for you,

which, in time, they will...

..I can't get away with that.

We'll pull you out if we think you're in trouble.

What do you mean, "Pull me out"? Witness protection.

You'll disappear, don't worry about it.

Look, I know you're not the brightest kid on the block.

But this isn't a discussion.

You can go to jail for murder,

or you can work for us and stop a terrorist atrocity.

Oh...

I-I'm...

SHE SOBS

You're not like your mother.

You're worse.

I heard the nurses talking in the corridor.

They think she'll be fine.

Really?

When she opens her eyes,

you want her seeing you doing this shit, do you?

Why are you on your own? I want to be on my own.

Why?

Cathy?

Look, I can't stay long.

Things have happened for me and... And... this... Well...

..this is it for me.

I just had to come and see you before I went.

Because we're...

I don't know, we're...

..you and me.

Wherever I've been,

you've always been there in my head.

OK.

Well, then... goodbye, Cathy Connor.

I need my stuff. What?

My stuff, my gear, if you're gonna go, go.

Whatever, go. Just give me my bloody stuff.

What's the matter with you?

What's the matter?

Everything's the matter.

Everything. Just everything.

I'm a terrible mum, I'm...

I'm a lousy wife.

I can't get through the day without coke.

SHE SOBS

I can't think of a thing in my life that isn't totally screwed up.

You'll be OK.

Tom is a wally...

..but he's a good guy.

Kitty will be fine.

It's just dehydration, she'll make a full recovery.

She's yours.

She's your child.

I wanted to call her Daisy. After Daisy Edwards,

that girl that lived next to the pub.

You know the one you used to tease.

I thought it could be a clue for you. But...

..Tommy wanted Kitty

and I needed him to believe she was his, so...

SHE SNIFFS

Things were supposed to get easier the longer you were away.

I can't pretend I'm coping.

I can't pretend I can live without you.

SHE SNIFFS

Don't you dare leave.

Not again.

I need you to stay.

Please.

Stay with me and your daughter.
