# 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 light

# For I toss and turn

# I can't sleep at night

# Once I ran to you

# Now I'll run from you

# The tainted love you've given

# I gave you all A boy could give you

# Now take my tears But that's not nearly enough

# Tainted love

# Tainted love... #

She loves it here.

So do I.

We're bringing you back.

I see.

This Thursday at noon. Be ready.

We have to go back.

Do you know why?

Things are moving again.

What do they want you to do?

I don't know.

Serve them Sean Carty's head on a plate.

God, Eamonn, I can't bear to lose you again.

This is our chance to be together...

..once and for all, Cathy.

New lives.

New identities, a safe house somewhere.

What about our old lives?

We'll leave them behind.

What do you want me to do?

Be ready to leave Soho at a moment's notice.

I can't go back to the States.

We're gonna need money.

And we should get married.

Really?

Yes.

SHE GIGGLES

SHE LAUGHS

Spell your name.

K-I...

T-T-Y.

Why didn't you tell me Eamonn came looking for me?

It was not a comfortable meeting between us.

What do you mean?

He hurt me. What did he do?

It was five years ago, what's the point?

What's the point?

The point is that I thought he'd abandoned me when he hadn't.

The point is that I would have gone with him,

had his child with him and not brought Tommy into it at all.

When will you grow up and take responsibility for yourself,

responsibility for your actions and the heartache you've caused?

I am not to blame for Tommy's death.

Well, what goes around comes around, darling.

What do you mean by that?

You both seem to think it's all right to take another person's life

and not pay any price for it.

Eamonn's asked me to marry him.

Oh, Christ, Cathy!

And I've said yes. Oh!

Our colleagues in the RUC

tell us Sean Carty is now part of the Army Council.

Frankly, it's a surprise to us that he's in the country at all.

Especially if he's involved in an active cell.

It suggests something big will happen.

We need to locate them, Mr Docherty,

find out why they're here and what they're planning.

We need to thwart them on the one hand

and incriminate them on the other.

Is that all?

You think this is funny?

Bombs in Guildford, in Birmingham,

in London at the Old Bailey, at King's Cross, Euston?

No, that's not funny.

It's just not gonna be easy.

Well, no one said it was.

I'm marrying him, and I'm selling up, Desrae, and I'm going.

What do you mean, selling up?

I have to raise as much money as I can.

Selling what, exactly?

The flat, the shops.

Everything Joey left to Tommy and Tommy left to me.

All the property?

Yes.

Including this building?

Kitty, come on, we're going.

I don't want to!

We're going!

I'm getting married.

Protective custody has to be for me, my wife-to-be and our child.

Well, that all depends on how useful you prove to be.

Murder is the highest crime on the statute books, Mr Docherty.

It's a devil of a job to get that to go away.

We need something very substantial in return.

How will you establish contact with Moore and Carty?

The small ads in the London evening paper.

I wish you luck.

You'll be staying there.

Your contact will be the night porter.

Here, take that.

It has all the appropriate wallet litter

to support your account

of what you've been doing for the last few weeks.

Put out a sign. The club is closed.

You'd better open that rag at the jobs page, my darling.

It's just a slowdown.

Pack up your false tits, you're out on the streets.

What do you mean?

The club is closed.

The Peppermint is no more. It's over, finished.

What happened? She's selling up.

Selling my house from under me

and running off with that psychotic bastard.

I can't do this any more. I can't run this place without her.

Sister, you need to calm down.

No, fuck it! I've made up my mind.

This place can crumble and fall for all I care.

Put a sign up on the door. This place is closed forever.

VENDOR YELLS

KNOCK AT DOOR

REPEATED KNOCKING

I need to talk to you.

Desrae's closed the club, for good, he says.

That's his decision. He's distraught.

Do we have to talk about this now? I've got things to do.

Like what? Sell Desrae's home from under him?

He's a sitting tenant, he'll be fine.

And what am I supposed to do, go back out on the streets?

I'm a little old for the meat rack, darling.

You'll think of something.

Why are you being like this? Like what?

Such a Cruella. It don't suit you.

I have a chance at happiness, Alfie.

I have to take it.

At what cost?

You think it's Vegas every minute for us? It's not.

Under these false eyelashes, we are thinking, feeling people.

You think I don't know that?

I've lived in Soho since I was 14.

KITTY: Mummy!

Kitty Cat, come here for a cuddle.

You owe that man your life.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Yeah?

MUFFLED: I've come about your ad in the paper.

That was quick.

It's good to have you back.

I've been worried about you.

So where have you been these past few weeks?

I told you.

Not to my face. To your face?

What's so special about your face?

So why are you staying here?

Are you broke?

Just keeping a low profile.

Very low.

You got any cash?

Help yourself.

So you've eaten at La Capellio?

Mm.

On your own?

Sadly.

Wild boar, very exotic. No, it's just pork, really.

Maybe you should take De Bootman there.

He ain't in England, is he? On his way, as is the merchandise.

He'll only deal with you, Eamonn.

He seems to like you for some reason.

Well, no accounting for taste, eh?

When's he getting here?

We'll let you know.

So, how do I look?

Like Myra Hindley.

And here was me thinking Jayne Mansfield.

You seem different.

Really?

Softer, somehow.

War in Rhodesia,

war in Angola,

war in Ethiopia,

war in Mozambique.

Business is thriving.

HE CHUCKLES

You are, without a doubt,

the fastest eater I've ever seen in my life.

You take your time, eh?

Yeah, I was taught to chew every mouthful 32 times.

Your mother was a wise woman.

I barely knew her. It was my dad.

Oh.

Then he was a very controlling man, huh?

That's a very different situation.

Sure, the merchandise will be here on Sunday.

Where's it coming in?

Just tell them Sunday.

That's all they need to know at the moment.

And here is to many more lucrative deals.

Hello, darling. Give Mummy a kiss.

How was she?

Everything was fine. Thank you.

So I'm now shut out of Kitty's life too, am I?

Not in front of her, please.

Just like I'm shut out of the club, shut out of the flat.

It was your decision to close the club.

That had nothing to do with me.

I hope he's worth it.

Put this on.

Why?

I don't want you to see where we're taking you.

Why?

Put it on, Eamonn.

It's just a precaution.

HE GRUNTS

HE GROANS

Why are you doing this?

Why are you doing this to me?

PANTING

We just want you to have some time to think,

time to consider your position.

MUFFLED: Fuck you.

MUFFLED: Caitlin.

MUFFLED: Please.

MUFFLED: Fuck you, then!

I was ten when I made my first bomb.

A little bit of weed killer, some icing sugar...

..made a fantastic explosive.

But it was extremely unstable.

This stuff, on the other hand, is very stable.

So you can just relax.

Where is he? I don't know.

I wanted you both to attend Mass.

I know.

Where is he?

Cut him down.

Wake up.

Wake the fuck up.

It's time we had a talk.

How long have we worked together, Eamonn?

It's over five years.

Right.

And yet you've never taken an oath of allegiance.

He's just a gangster. He doesn't have a political bone in his body.

Don't go forgetting that. What?

I'm just as capable of putting a bullet

in the back of your heads as you are in mine.

Not right now. That's the spirit, son.

That's exactly what we've been missing.

A bit of spunk.

A bit of the old swagger. Fuck you and all.

Oh, fucking... Ah!

Do you know what the first three orders are in the Green Book?

"Volunteers should not succumb to approaches or overtures,

"blackmail or bribery attempts made by the enemy.

"They should report such attempts as soon as possible."

Have you been approached, Eamonn?

No.

"Volunteers found guilty of treason face the death penalty."

Are you working for the Branch, Eamonn?

For the what?

Peelers.

Caitlin thinks that you've been acting

in a decidedly guilty manner of late.

CHUCKLES

This is not funny.

Yes, it is funny. And why's that?

I have been feeling guilty. Go on.

Because for the last month or so, I've been having an affair.

Who with?

I don't want you going anywhere near her.

Cathy.

The Army, as an organisation,

claims and expects your total allegiance without reservation.

Do you understand that?

What about Jan De Bootman?

Does he share your misgivings? No.

Then maybe you should listen to him,

especially if you wanna keep your supply lines open.

We had to test you.

You understand that?

You would have done the same thing yourself.

Next time, I think I'd rather sit the written exam.

HE CHUCKLES

Now fucking untie me.

Toilet's through there.

Get yourself cleaned up.

He must think I came up the Lagan in a bubble.

You don't believe him? Do you?

Can she stay here with you?

You are unbelievable. I don't think she's safe with me.

Why?

I was supposed to meet Eamonn today and he didn't turn up.

I think he's in trouble.

I don't want to know, I really don't.

What makes you think you can swan back in here

after all the things you've done?

It's not for me, it's for Kitty.

Oh, please, Cathy, it's just the same thing.

Why did you close the club?

Why do you think? You tell me.

The Peppermint was ours, not mine.

And I can't bear the thought of it without you.

If you love me, you'll support me in what I'm doing.

It's because I love you that I don't.

He's changed.

People don't change, Cathy. Don't you understand that?

It felt like we were heading south.

I don't know why, it just did.

Definitely crossed the bridge.

It took maybe an hour to get there.

A warehouse, factory. Disused, I think.

I clocked a name, Donald Charles and Sons.

That's excellent work. Who was there?

Sean Carty, Caitlin Moore,

Driscoll.

Well, if Driscoll's involved, it's serious.

He's one of their top explosives officers.

Yeah, the other cell members, I didn't recognise.

We'll get you in, show you some photographs.

When? In a day or two.

We'll put the place under observation.

Don't do anything until I'm out. Of course not.

They already suspect me.

Anything happens, they'll know I'm the grass.

Nothing will happen for a day or two.

I stuck to my side of the bargain. Now it's time you stick to yours.

We'll look after you.

Don't worry, we won't leave you flapping in the breeze.

The three of us, Cathy, the girl and me?

Of course. Just sit tight at the hotel, we'll be in touch.

They don't trust him.

He's useless to us.

Let's go.

It's over, Cathy.

I've given them what they wanted.

So we can leave?

I have to go and look at some photos, but basically, yes.

We are in the clear.

I've been so worried.

Do you have any idea where we'll be going?

Didn't give any details, did they?

Do you know what? I don't care.

They can put us anywhere they like

as long as the three of us are together.

I feel the same.

I, Eamonn,

take you, Cathy, to be my wife,

in the presence of God... DOOR SLAMS

And before these witnesses, I promise to be a loyal...

Auntie Desrae! ..loving, faithful husband to you,

for as long as we both shall live.

By the power that Christ brought from heaven may'st thou love me

As the sun follows its course, may'st thou follow me

As light to the eye, as bread to the hungry

As joy to the heart, may thy presence be with me

O, one that I love

Till death comes to part us asunder

Thank you.

Any excuse to get my glad rags on.

RADIO: We interrupt this broadcast

to bring you this special news bulletin.

The police have discovered a major Provisional IRA bomb factory.

A disused cement works in Kent

was found to contain enough bomb-making equipment

to manufacture dozens of high-explosive devices.

No arrests were made, and the police have urged members of the public

to be vigilant while the Provisional IRA members responsible

for smuggling large quantities of Semtex into Britain remain at large.

They represent a very severe threat to the public.

POLICE SIRENS

PHONE RINGS WOMAN: Hello?

It's Red Rover. Yes?

Is Hargreaves there? He's not available, I'm afraid.

What the fuck do you mean, he's not available?

Please, don't use that sort of language. He's not in the office.

Can't you get him at home?

I'll try him for you.

Hello?

DIALLING TONE

Hello?

Oh, shit!

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

Cathy, it's me. We need to run.

What?

I've been cut loose.

Bring an overnight bag, that's all...

A passport and any money you can get.

Be at the New Piccadilly at 11:00 with Kitty.

Cathy, please say you understand.

I understand.

OK.

We leave together at 11:00.

I love you both.

Where's Kitty?

I can't go, Eamonn.

What?

Why do we have to run? What happened to the deal you made?

They've fucked me over, Cathy.

They took what I gave them and acted on it,

made arrests, everything.

Why would they do that to you?

Because they are complete bastards.

They got what they needed, they don't need me any more.

We have to go, Cathy, you have to come with me.

You're my wife.

We've just been kidding ourselves, Eamonn.

Why do you say that?

Thinking we could ever...

That we would ever have the things other people have.

Cathy, please.

I can't.

I can't run away again.

I can't do that to Kitty.

If it was just me, I would.

I honestly would.

But I can't risk her again.

Not after what happened before.

I'm scared for you, Eamonn. Really scared.

I have to go.

Take this.

It will keep you safe.

Maybe when it's safe, you can come and join me, both of you.

Yeah. Maybe.

EXPLOSION

SIRENS BLARE

I could hear someone calling my name, but it wasn't Eamonn.

No-one could have survived being in that cafe.

I'd walked out.

I had survived.

I wanted to be with him, but I couldn't run any more.

I'd been running all my life.

NEWSREADER: Several bombs have exploded in the West End of London.

No warnings were given.

Reports suggest that at least five people

have been killed and many more injured.

The Provisional IRA has claimed responsibility.

They issued the following statement...

"Despite recent setbacks, the campaign against military

"and economic targets will be intensified.

"Great Britain needs to wake up and realise the bombing will only stop

"when she has removed her troops from Northern Ireland... "
