Run!

Liam!

Did you like your room, sir?

Yes, it was very comfortable.

Thank you!

Liam, wake up.

What have I told you about going in the lobby?

Sorry.

It was so comfortable I fell asleep.

Tomorrow's my last early for a few days.

Then you can have a lovely lie-in.

Sound good?

Alright. One more room, then school.

Vietnam.

Hanoi.

Russia.

Moscow. Too easy.

Burma.

It's called Myanmar now.

Alright, what's the capitol of Myanmar, smart ass?

What's that, you don't know?

Liam.

I'm reenacting the Battle of Agincourt.

Yeah, well you'll be reenacting me

down the bloody job centre at this rate.

Help me put it back.

You put the queen on the wrong square!

...he thinks the share price is too high.

I'm gonna have to call you back.

Leave it with me.

Sorry, we didn't realise.

Evidently.

Liam.

We're done.

Nice necklace.

Are you trying to get me fired?

Sorry.

It's who you should be apologising to.

Come on.

Going down.

Treat for your lunch.

Not that you deserve it.

Oh, my --

Who the heck are you?

didn't mean to scare you.

Yeah, well this is private.

You shouldn't really be back here.

Mum.

He's so tiny.

He's a she.

You've been feeding her?

Found her the other day.

Think she's been abandoned.

Got an appetite on her.

What's her name?

Called her Ginger.

Wow, imaginative.

So is this a regular hall of yours, then?

I've done worse.

Can we take her home?

Yeah, right, 'cause we aren't already

looking after every creature under the sun.

Shit, the 23. Come on.

Liam!

Bye, Ginger.

Bye.

Hey, babe. Hey.

See you later.

Have a good day, darling.

You're late!

I rang the agency.

I didn't think you were coming.

Ugh, you do speak English, don't you?

I'm sorry.

My last job ran over.

If I'm paying for three hours,

I expect three hours graphed.

Otherwise, I may as well do it myself.

You can make up the time at the end.

Bye darling, take care.

Yo!

Hiya.

Wow, nice nails, babe.

Oh, Thank you.

I had a pedicure, too.

I thought Jasmine, you deserve it.

Do you know what? I was right.

Nice.

It's this new guy, Mateo.

I'll give you his number.

Gave me a foot massage, too.

Seriously, what that guy can do with his hands.

Well, I haven't got time for a mani pedi

or a massage, let alone a guy.

You do look knackered.

Thanks.

What time are we meeting tonight?

No, I can't. I'm skint.

Oh wait, you never come out anymore.

Please, just one. Just one little drink.

-Maybe. -Yes!

How's little fella?

Liam, driving me insane.

Tell him I'm still waiting for my ring.

Can't ask a girl to marry you

and not give her a ring.

-See ya. -See you later, babe.

-Bye girls. -Bye girls.

Bye love.

Yes sir, I appreciate you feel let down.

But uh, as I've said before.

Yes, if...

You here to bust my nuts and all?

I want nothing to do with your nuts.

I need more hours.

You're already doing more jobs than anyone else.

Yeah, well my bills are double.

I get half my food shop for the same money.

I can't make it stretch.

Oh, I'll tell you what.

I'm having lunch with the home secretary in half an hour.

-I'll get her to look into it. -Come on, I'm serious.

So am I.

Health and safety, you tell me.

I'm working like a dog as it is.

I'm gonna lose my home, Geoff.

For god's sake, my son goes to bed cold,

I go to bed hungry so that he can eat.

This rate doesn't cut it anymore.

You wanna leave?

Be my guest.

I've got women literally queuing up outside

to take your place, and believe you me,

they will give me half the aggro.

Look.

I would hate to lose you.

Really.

I cannot do anymore.

Bye guys!

Are you in on Wednesday?

What do you want?

I'll have the double cheeseburger, please.

But can you put the cheese on the side?

It can't touch the meat.

And no gherkin, and no lettuce.

And no mayo.

Nothing for me, thanks.

What, I had a massive lunch at work.

That'll be three pound nine, darling.

Thanks.

Reception said to come straight through.

I'm Simone Hale.

I left you a message.

Oh. Yes.

Simone. Simone, please.

No, thank you. This won't take long.

You manage the cleaning contract

for the Iveagh Garden Hotel?

We do.

I've been asked to contact you

regarding one of your employees.

Rachel Connor.

There's not a problem, is there?

The opposite.

The person I represent would like to engage her

on a private basis.

Private?

To do what?

To clean.

You come here,

all this way, in person,

to hire a cleaner?

He's very particular.

Requires the utmost discretion.

Well, the thing is, Simone, that, uh,

Rachel is a highly-valued member of our team,

and to replace her at this late notice,

well, whew...

that'd cost a fortune.

I see.

My employer will pay whatever it takes.

You need to go on some dating sites,

get yourself out there.

I don't.

Anyway, they're mostly just for people

hooking up for sex.

Uh, exactly.

I met this married couple, right, seemed dead boring,

I think the husband does something computers.

Anyway, next thing I know,

he asks me if I'd like to have a threesome

with him and his wife.

Oh my god, did you?

Course not! Semi-final of Bake Off was on.

Hey, you know Adeel in accounts fancies the pants off you?

-Yeah, alright. -His tongue practically

rolls across the room every time you walk past him.

He does have a cute ass.

-I'm texting him. -No, don't you dare.

-What, why not? -Because.

It's not just about me, is it?

I'm not gonna put Liam through all that again.

They won't all be like Kieron.

You deserve someone special.

We are fine as we are.

Oh, you dirty mare.

I thought you weren't interested.

I can window shop.

-He is fit . -oh, shut up.

Twit...

Uh, what are you still doing up?

Where's Edna?

The old biddy from next door?

I sent her back.

Off to bed now.

Ay.

Don't I get a hug?

Good lad, go on.

What do you want?

What, I'm not allowed to see my kid?

He's not your kid.

Anyway, why change the habit of a lifetime?

Don't even think about asking, okay?

I can barely feed him as it is,

and the bailiffs have already been round once this week.

But you can go out, getting off your face.

Jasmine paid!

But you need to go. I've gotta be up early.

What's that?

You want me to stay?

One more for old time's sake?

Careful.

You wouldn't wanna lose Liam, would you?

Mom?

It's alright, darling.

Kieron was just leaving.

No.

No! No!

Get off!

Kieron, that's for his school trip.

You can have it back next week, yeah?

I'm sorry about your war museum trip.

I'll make it up to you, I promise.

I'll tell you what.

I'll ask the chefs at work

to put something by for that little kitten.

-What was his name? -Ginger.

Oh yeah, Ginger. That's it.

I love you.

Love you, too.

Go on.

Morning, good morning.

Er, Ms. Connor?

I really need to get to work.

It won't take a second.

It's just we had a bit of an incident

yesterday in class.

Liam came in from the playground with a dead bird.

Dead bird?

Yeah, a fox must've got it.

A lot of the children were distressed.

I'm not surprised.

Those foxes can be right little thugs.

I mean about Liam bringing it in.

Oh.

It's just it's not the first time

this sort of thing has happened.

He brought a mouse in last time.

Well, he loves animals.

He wants to be a vet one day. He's just curious.

Well, the classroom really isn't the place

for that sort of thing.

Learning?

Autopsies.

A lot of the other children were frightened.

Look, I'm sorry to ask this,

but is there anything going on at home?

Excuse me?

Sometimes this sort of behaviour can be a sign

of underlying anxiety.

Liam's a clever boy, okay?

Don't ask me where he gets it from, but he is.

Maybe if he was more stimulated at school.

Well, we have to consider

the safety of the other children.

Safety?

Oh my, do you even know my son?

I'm sorry, but if this happens again,

we may need to consider referring it

to our safeguarding team.

You wanted to see me?

Yeah, come in. Come in.

I had an interesting visitor yesterday.

Exec type from a fancy company.

Says her boss has seen you work around the Ivy,

and you've made quite the impression.

-Me? -Yeah.

So much so, that he wants to hire you.

Double your normal rate, and maybe even more.

You're kidding. What for?

Well, that's what I'm wondering.

You sure there's nothing funny going on?

-What? -Well...

you said you were desperate for money.

Are you actually serious?

You know what? Stick your job up your ass.

What, wait. No, wait.

Wait, Rachel, please.

Look, I'm sorry.

Maybe I've got the wrong end of the stick.

Yeah, you did.

Look, if you really don't know

anything about this,

then maybe today's your lucky day.

By the sounds of it, you can basically name your price.

Yeah, and what does this guy want in return?

Well, a clean house, apparently.

Look, go and see him.

If there is anything dodgy,

just forget I even asked.

-When? -Tomorrow, 4:30.

What about my other jobs?

Oh, I'll deal with that.

Alright, well you'll have to drive me.

What?

I'm not going there on my own.

Fine.

But after that, you're on your own.

No. No way.

You never said anything about bringing the kid with you.

-Hello, Liam. -Fine, in that case, I can't go.

May I remind you I'm doing you a favour?

And I have an 11-year-old, Geoff,

and no one to look after him,

so either he comes, or I don't.

-Are you blackmailing me? -Yeah.

Alright, get in.

And don't spill anything on the upholstery.

Cor, blimey...

Fuck me.

Mom.

What you waiting for?

Are you not coming in?

No, I'll wait here.

Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere.

Right, come on, then.

Good luck.

Hello?

Hello?

The greatest angler on the river

-has got to be the kingfisher. -Liam!

They're just master fishermen.

-And they've got -- -Would you stop it?

Sit down until I find someone.

Don't touch anything.

Oh, god.

Sorry.

Nobody answered, but the door was open.

-I'm Rachel. -I know who you are.

That's my son, Liam.

Liam, say hello.

He's broken up for the holidays,

and childcare isn't really an option,

so I had to bring him.

But he's as good as gold.

Sorry, but do I know you? I feel like we've --

At the hotel.

You were cleaning my employer's suite.

Yes, knew we'd met.

Wait, sorry. Is that why I'm here?

-Is what why you're here? -Is that where you saw me?

It's just I'm wondering

why you picked me out of all the other cleaners.

Oh, I didn't pick you. That was my employer's decision.

I'm just here to show you around.

-Oh, right. -Normally you'd have been

fully vetted by now, but my employers decided

to relax some of our usual protocols.

Protocols? You've lost me.

Means I'm gonna go through your life

with a fine-toothed comb.

I hope for your sake I don't find anything.

Is that right?

Well what about your boss' background?

-Excuse me? -Maybe I should be vetting him.

I'm sorry, do you want this job, or not?

I'll let you know when you finish showing me about.

So what exactly is it your boss wants from me?

Like I said, to clean.

-That's all? -That's all.

Everyday?

Is there a problem with that?

Well, it's just the place is spotless.

Like I explained to your employer,

he is very particular.

His money.

As a general rule,

if the door is shut, it's off limits.

And you don't enter this section of the property

under any circumstances.

Is it your boss' pain room?

Are we on the same page here, Rachel?

We're on the same page.

Off limits, circle of trust.

So if I get the job,

when do you want me to start?

Now.

Now?

If you don't want it, I can find someone else.

No.

No, I'll take it.

Good.

We'll call it a two-week trial period.

I'll get you the codes for the alarm and the front gate.

Anything else,

my card is on the hallway table.

Simone?

If you see Geoff outside,

you better tell him he can go.

Jerry, hello. Thank you for calling me back.

When do I get to meet this boss of yours?

I know.

Does he have a name at least?

This never happens again, okay?

Last thing we need is that Simone

throwing us out on our ass.

Why's she so miserable?

She's not.

She's just not getting any.

I bumped into your teacher yesterday.

She said you brought a dead bird into class.

Darling, what have we said about this?

You can't go freaking out the other kids.

I know it was dead,

but I didn't want to leave it out there on its own.

I saw a purple emperor butterfly in the garden.

A what?

It's a really rare type of butterfly.

I looked it up.

It's the second largest butterfly in the country.

Wow.

Well, don't go getting any funny ideas

about taking it home.

In fact, don't touch a thing.

Liam, what did I tell you?

I won't break it.

I'm serious, I can't afford to lose this job.

Sorry.

Where did you learn that?

YouTube.

I borrowed your phone.

Cheeky bugger.

Go on.

Show me how it's done.

So you start on this one.

okay, on the middle one.

Pinky here, and then it's --

It looks exactly the same as it did before.

It does, doesn't it?

What is it?

Zero, three, two, nine --

Hang on. Zero, three, two, nine.

-Yeah? -Five, four.

Five, four.

Is that it?

That's it? Just cleaning?

Yeah.

No funny business, not even a cheeky hand job?

-Oh my god, shut up, will you! -I would.

What's five minutes if the guy's minted?

I haven't even met him yet.

Just his evil sidekick -- "Simone."

You can give her one, if you want.

Well, if it gets me a job.

Kieron was at the flat when I got back the other night.

Took Liam's school trip money.

Are you joking?

What a prick!

Ugh, little man.

Still, he'll be able to go on

all the school trips he wants now.

Right.

I better rescue the neighbour from him.

Hey, us three should go on holiday.

-You, me, and Liam. -Hold up!

I've only worked there one afternoon.

Get them to give you an advance, then.

Kieron doesn't know about this job, does he?

No, thank god.

You sure you're alright to come over tomorrow?

When have I ever let you down?

Anyway, you're gonna put in a word for me

for me with your new boss.

Oh, am I?

Big house like that,

bound to need another cleaner.

Oh, go on.

Let's look at some holidays.

Yes! Get in!

Teeth, then you can read 10 minutes.

Half an hour?

10. We've got an early start.

Liam, have you been tidying up in here again?

No.

I swear I left some clothes on the bed.

Alright, buddy. Let's do this.

How long do you think it'll take us to walk this drive?

Too long.

Mum!

Someone's here!

Shit!

You.

Hello again.

Wait, you own this?

Last time I checked.

You're not homeless?

Fortunately not.

Right, well I've made a complete tit of myself.

-I'm Rachel. -Elliott.

Where's Liam?

Simone told me his name.

Well, he's about somewhere.

I'm here.

Hi.

You don't mind I brought him?

I explained to Simone it's school holidays.

It's impossible to -- I'm glad he's here.

Oh.

I saw a purple emperor butterfly in your garden.

Well spotted. I'm impressed.

I have something else that might interest you.

Go on.

Mum, look.

Oh.

Now that makes two of us who aren't homeless.

How are you at driving?

I don't have a licence.

Let's leave Ginger here and follow me.

So I restore them.

This is a Citroen Traction Avant.

One of the first cars to ever use front wheel drive.

Wow!

This is a 1959 Borgward.

You know it.

He's a walking Wikipedia.

Hop in.

You can start it if you like.

Are you sure that's a good idea?

Oh, it's fine.

-Doesn't have a gearbox yet. -Okay.

Beautiful, isn't it?

I can take care of Liam

if you wanna finish up inside.

Oh no, really. You don't need to.

I'd like to show him around.

Please, Mum.

Okay.

Be good.

Thanks.

Hey.

Elliott gave me these overalls.

So he can help in the garage.

They should fit him.

I don't know what to say.

Don't say anything.

Liam, what do you say?

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

Go on then.

I have to say, it's nice having someone

young in the house again.

Again?

I was married before, a while back.

I had a stepson.

You probably saw his room upstairs.

Simone said that was strictly out of bounds.

Yeah, well Simone is a stickler for the rules.

I better let you go.

Yeah, back to reality.

Can I ask you something?

Why did you pick me?

I mean, you could've hired anyone from the hotel.

Instinct.

after bumping into me once by some bins?

Well, I have a bit of a confession.

That wasn't the first time I saw you.

I stay there a lot when I'm in town,

and I'd noticed you before.

You stalking me?

Mum!

Gotta catch our bus.

-Thank you. -Bye.

Bye, Liam!

Bye!

Are you sure about this?

'Cause I'm not.

Her ex is a junkie with a string of convictions,

and there's something else in her history.

Something she's hiding.

Then find it.

Oy!

-What the hell are you doing? -Sorry?

Who gave you the right to break into my flat?

No, no. You've got it all wrong.

You know what? No, save it for the police.

We're not the bailiffs, love.

Just dropping something off.

Your mate let us in.

What's going on?

Oh my.

Fuck me!

Li!

You said it.

You got that advance, then?

It's the same model as Elliott's!

Elliott?

He's the guy I'm cleaning for.

He bought you this?

It's got internet and everything!

I can even play games on it!

No. No.

Do you want this?

Ginger!
