They're representatives of the
wealthiest and most powerful people,

all here to meet your son.

I don't think we should tell Sean
about tonight.Agreed.

I want you to take this man's life.
What did he do?

He made a bargain.
That's it.

I wanted to help!If you want
to help, stay away from this.

My money will be washed
through the Wallace organisation.

Sean, get down!

Don't!

We will fix this.

(TEXT ALERT)

(GROANS)

f*ck!

(PHONE BUZZES)

(LIFT SLOWS, BELL DINGS)

It was you!

Come on, Ed.
This doesn't end by k*lling me.

Your son's life, huh?

You need to think about it.

(g*n CLICKS)

# THE PLATTERS: Only You

Making a cake?

Making a cake.

Doing well, Billy.

I need to get out of this house,
it's not home.

Soon.

(REPEATS SONG)

It's not working, you know...

..I'm not getting any answers.

(DOOR OPENS)

Morning.

I'm baking a cake.

Well,
you can't stay here all morning.

I'm an injured man!
(LAUGHS)

You think I'm going to wait on you
hand and foot?

Sounds good to me.
(BOTH LAUGH)

Stop!

So did I break you, then?

No!
What?

Just don't ask me to move.

What are you thinking about?

Danny.
Yeah?

If he got sh*t.

We will find out who's doing this.

As for Danny, he'll be fine.

He's tough.
Yeah.

He's watching
Marcus And His Magical Boots.

Yeah, that's that.

Samuel used to watch it.

I love that
you can talk about him with me.

Me too.

(CRASH DOWNSTAIRS)

sh*t!
BOTH: Danny?

Danny?

Danny? Danny!

You all right, yeah?

Good boy.

f*cking hell!

It's fine, it's fine!

Are you OK, kid? You sure, yeah?

You're supposed to be watching the
house, not on your f*cking phone!

f*cking do your job!

(MAKES CAR NOISE)

Excellent.

Yes, very good.

When does our money come in?
Tomorrow,

once Alex Dumani has overseen
the transfer of funds.

Zeus, come.

Ed? Please thank Sean
for honouring his father's deal,

particularly
in such confusing times.

Well, we can at least be certain
you didn't att*ck him.

This is everything I've been able to
find out from my Albanian contacts.

The family that Finn wanted to...

..to get rid of
made their money in oil and storage.

You did this favour for Finn,
we washed your money,

or should I say, Mosi's money?

What,
you thought we wouldn't find out?

You're building a tower for him.
This is your free pass, Luan.

You get to build one tower
in this city - one.

But do not think
you get to go against us.

And careful -
Mosi as a business partner,

he's a dangerous man
to be making promises to.

# THE PLATTERS: Only You

(PHONE BUZZES)

Hi.

I told Luan that Alexander would
oversee the transfer.

Alex will have this done by tonight.

Think he's telling the truth
about the family he k*lled?

Yes.

OK.
Then tell Alex to use the information

that Luan is going to supply
to find out the connection

my dad had with this family,
we need that.

Are you three OK?
We're good.

It's best that everyone stays away.
Whoever att*cked us won't stay away.

I know. I'll speak to you soon.

Take care, son.

We will get through this.

Dad's Big Bumper Book
Of Rules About k*lling.

You look at that and you still just
see a dead innocent kid, don't you?

(APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS)

Billy's right - this isn't working.

What else do you suggest?

We had a k*ller in our house,
and I want to know why.

You're the head of the family now,
Sean. Keep doing what it takes.

Elliot.

Where the f*ck have you been?

I have checked
every hospital in the city,

praying
I am not going to find a dead UC.

You tell me next time.
I'm sorry.

I've been holed up
with Shannon Dumani.

They got me the best doctors,
I'm good.

You need a full medical
and a full psych.

I can't, there's no time.
Sean summoned me.

He's spent the week hiding out with
his mum and Billy in a safe house.

He doesn't know who tried to k*ll
him or who to trust,

but he trusts me,
I took a b*llet for him.

A hired k*ller posing as a waitress
to get into their home -

this isn't
some ordinary g*ng takeover.

If the Wallaces want to survive,
they've got to figure it out,

and I'll be next to Sean
when they do.

I'll get you the names
and the connections.

This could be about so much more
than just taking down the Wallaces.

Whoever did this,
they'll do it again.

I wanted to talk this through
before going to Sean.

Sure.

I don't think it was a coincidence

Sean was att*cked when we were
meeting Jevan and those investors.

We need to go to Jevan.
No.

Why not?Pointing fingers at
random strangers will set Sean off.

It's not random.

I'll go to Jevan on my own.

No.

What are you not telling me?

The business that
you helped Finn build,

the people that invested in it,
they want you to keep running it.

We're agreed on that, Sean included.

They don't want Sean anywhere
near it, they want him gone -

he's too noisy and unpredictable.

So, what - they tried to k*ll him,
our investors?

They k*lled Finn.

They k*lled him
because he was trying to leave.

How... How long have you known?

After Sean was att*cked,
I got the truth out of Jevan.

A week?
I was thinking things through,

keeping us safe, especially you.

You do know Sean's going crazy,
not knowing who att*cked him -

Albanians, Pakistanis, Greeks,
Kurds, Chinese?

Telling him now will start a w*r
we can't win.I have to tell him.

We don't know who
we're dealing with.I've met them.

You've met faces who work for them.
You keep everything to yourself.

Alex,
I am trying to keep us all alive.

Sean deserves to know.
Listen!

Really, what are you going to do?

(CRUNCHING)

(CRUNCHING, CREAKING)

(MARIAN GRUNTS)

(CHAIN GRINDS, MARIAN GRUNTS)

You are going to tell me...

..who you work for.

(SCREAMS)

# THE PLATTERS: Only You

(TOVE SCREAMS)

(CONTINUES SCREAMING)

(DOORBELL)

Hey.
How's it going?

Hey!

(GRUNTS) Yeah (!)

You good?
Yeah, mm-hm.

Come in.
OK.

Please.
Yeah, cheers.

Whose place is this?
A guy I see sometimes -

happily married type.
Mm.

Suits me though -
I like the boundaries.

Come on, come on.

He's out of the country
for a few months,

and we needed a place to hide, so...

We've got a few boltholes like this
round the city,

for when the wind changes.
Come in.

Plastic?

You got rats?
Huh, rats?

Yeah, rats. Look!

Whoa! I didn't take you for a baker.
I need some kind of vice.

Do you want one, have you had lunch,
have you eaten?No.

Erm, looks lovely though.

That's for Baxter.

Who's Baxter?

Right (!)

Whose dog is that?

The waitress who sh*t at Sean.
We found him in the van.

He hasn't tried to k*ll us yet,
so, you know.

You find anything else in the van?
Nothing, not even a fingerprint.

You better?
Yeah, thank you, Mrs Wallace.

Thanks for coming.
My pleasure.

Good to see you.
You too. Good?

Yeah. Let's get a plate for Elliot.

You're not vegan, are you?
Am I f*ck!

Thank God for that.
I'll have anything.

# THE PLATTERS: Only You

(CLEARS THROAT)

Hey. It's really nice to see you
at the table, Elliot,

instead of on it.

Yeah, it feels good too.

This is lovely, mate, thank you.
Mm. Some wine?

Yeah, I'll have a little top-up.

Thank you.

Taking a b*llet for me -
why'd you do it?

If you're dead, I'm out of a job.

Or there's part of you that
doesn't want to live.

I can't work you out.
What do you want from me?

Protection. For Shannon and Danny -
more protection.

That's it?
Mm.

Done.

Shannon's been looking after you,
yeah?

Who do you think is doing this?

Doesn't point to any of the gangs
we know.

Sean, they got in your house.

You close to your dad, Elliot?

Mine would push and push,
show me how to go further,

make me go further,
do things I didn't think I could do.

You know what? And I mean this
with the utmost respect...

..your dad sounds like
a bit of a c**t.

And that waitress, she was clever.

Your mum said there wasn't
a fingerprint in the van.

Except dogs have got to
be microchipped,

linking them to their owners.

Now, you got me some good doctors.
You know any good vets?

No, look - I'm sorry, I can't.

Look, I just can't, OK?

Alexander?

He won't leave a message,

keeps saying he wants
to talk to Sean face to face.

Elliot is the exception.

No-one else can know where we are,
not even the Dumanis.

I know, I get it!

(TRIES DOOR)

She's m*llitary.

Danish Special Forces.

Jaeger Corps.

Let's change that dressing.

The baby is due soon.

(FLOORBOARDS CREAKS)

(DOOR OPENS)

What do you want?

The money.

It's tomorrow.

Yes?

I've told you -

you don't get to see a penny
until I know my baby is safe.

She has to live.

Leif!

She has to live.

I'll go upstairs,
you take the basement.

Felix.

(KICKS DOOR) sh*t!

f*ck.

f*ck!
sh*t!

# THE PLATTERS: Only You

(THUMPING UPSTAIRS)

(DOOR OPENS)

I loved my husband.

And I know he's a lying,
f*cking c**t,

and if he was here now,
I'd rip his f*cking eyes out,

but he's not, and you are.

(TOVE SCREAMS)

(SCREAMS)

Complete surveillance
on both families.

Who the f*ck are these people?

(FRONT DOOR OPENS AND SHUTS)
FELIX: Baxter!

Mum, I'm back!

Mum?

Hello?
Hey. How're you doing?

Who are you, where's my mum?
Don't worry about that.

We're police officers.
Your mum has been reported missing.

What's happened to her?We don't
know, that's why we're here.

You must be Felix, right?

Well, I'm Elliot.

Let me help you with your bag,
that looks really heavy.

You been on a trip?
I go to boarding school.

Oh, that's nice. And you have
a little sister, don't you?

She's coming back today.
Why, am I going to go with you?

No.

Have you got somebody you can call?

Yeah.
Good, good.

Just come with me a second.

You call that person,
your dad or your aunt, whatever.

I'm going back to Mum and Billy's.
I'll take you to Shannon's.

I should stay with you.

No, you shouldn't.

What happened to the body,
the waitress, that boy's mum?

Wherever they dumped her,
they're never going to find her.

How old do you think he was -
like, 11, 12?

She tried to k*ll me.
Yeah, I know, but...

Get in the car...DCI Finch.

(STARTS ENGINE)

No, no, no - relax.

Sean just sent some more men round.

Hey.

Keep this warm for us,
I'll be in in a second, yeah?Yeah.

So, what, are you official now?

And he gave me to you.

We good?

Yeah.

Yeah, we're good.

(GASPS)

Whatever it takes.

Mum?

Beautiful children.

What...

(FLEXES PLIERS)

Mum...
(CRIES)

No, no, no.

No, please! (SCREAMS)

Who is after us?

(DOORBELL)

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

(KNOCK CONTINUES, DOG BARKS)

(DOORBELL, KNOCKING)

Thank you.

What is this place?

(TOVE SCREAMS)

(SCREAMS)

How long
have you been watching my family?

(SCREAMS)

You obviously don't f*cking listen.

(SCREAMS)
The next one.

Give me the name
of who you work for.

You have ten f*cking fingernails,

I'll pull every f*cking one of them
out until you give me a name.

If you don't want your fingernails,

what about your children,
do they want them?

(SCREAMS)

Give me the name
of who you work for.Alex!

Sean!
Alex!

SEAN!

Alex, wait!

And I thought I'd k*lled her.

We need to find out
who we're fighting.

What have you got to tell me
that's so important?

Nothing.

Nothing. I just wanted to make sure
you were OK.

I didn't want...
Just shut up!

Alex?

Alex!

(BILLY IGNITES GAS-COOKER HOB)

# THE PLATTERS: Only You

You gave us away...

..for that?

Leave off, will you? Alex is family.

And I can't listen to that sh*t
any longer, I need this.

That woman knew the rules
when she came after this family.

What rules have you got down there?

Mum knows
that woman isn't going to talk.

f*cking look at yourself!

How f*cking dare you?

Look at me? Look at you,
look at what you're doing!

You're a k*ller too.

Yeah, but I did that for you,
didn't I?

Never did tell you about that,
did I,

Dad's big lesson with the bucket?

The execution of a criminal
who broke the rules, right?

Wrong.
Ask Mum what that man really did.

Go on.

Go down there and ask her.

(LIFT BELL)

Alexander.

Please, come sit.

We're very happy to have you
on board and running the ship.

Finally we can
move the Wallace business forward.

(CAMERA SHUTTER SNAPS)

Alex?

Thank you for seeing sense.

Give me a name.

Give me a name, you bitch,
don't do this.

Give me a f*cking name!
Stop, stop, stop!

Stop!

You've hurt us,
now we've hurt you...

..but this can end right now.

Tell us why you came to k*ll me,

why you k*lled my father.

Tell us that,
then I will let you go...

..and I will let your kids
have a mother.

I met your son Felix today.

Nice boy.

I could have brought him here...

..but he's not done anything to us
and he didn't choose his parents.

Talk to me...

..and I'll send you back to them.

You know I'm telling the truth.

Your mother,
she would never allow that.

My mother is not in charge.

# THE PLATTERS: Only You

If you don't send someone
for her children, I will.

Did you not hear me?
We're not k*lling children!

Why not? She tried to k*ll mine!

You never protected us before.
What the f*ck does that mean?

Jacqui's always saying it.
I always defended you, but it's true.

You never protected us from Dad.

Oh!

The first man Dad wanted me to k*ll,

his hands-on tutorial,
you didn't stop that.

Billy just let me in on
a little secret you kept from me.

I want to hear it from you.

Mum...

..who was he?

He was a no-one in a bar.

And you told Dad.
You knew what he would do.

I didn't know
he'd asked you to k*ll him.

You always act like
Dad was the one driving everything,

that you could never stop him,

and the truth is, you want this life,
don't you?

f*ck anyone who gets in your way -
no rules, no bargains,

they're just f*cking words,
words that you and Dad hid behind

to make what you do seem...

..noble.

Everything I do is
to protect this family, everything.

Well, stop.

We don't need you any more.

(MUSIC STOPS)

# THE PLATTERS: Only You

Don't let them hurt my children,
please.

(STOPS MUSIC)

k*ll me if you must...

..but please leave
my Sofia and Felix.

Please?

Ed and Alex Dumani.

My employers told me
to make sure that...

..that the hit had to take place
when they were out of the house.

(COUGHS)

Don't make a f*cking sound.

If you scream, I'll f*cking cut you.

OK, OK, there's the door.

Go, go, go!

It's locked, it's locked,
it's locked.

Where's the key, where's the key?

The kitchen.

Get the key.

Give me the g*n.

Put it on the counter, slide it.

They were told to hit us
when Ed and Alex weren't there.

What do you mean?

What does he mean?

I swear, I'll cut one son
and put a b*llet in the other.

Don't you f*cking move.

Put the g*n down, Mum.

Put the g*n down.

(GROANS)

I'm fine.

I'm fine, I'm fine.
Jesus!

It's OK.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Are you OK?
I'm fine, I'm fine.

Oi!

The night at the dinner,
you and Ed didn't show.

What are you not telling me
about the sh**ting?Nothing!

I told you, we were running late -

meeting some possible investors.
What is this?

(COMPUTER PINGS)

What, what is it?

It's Luan's money.

I was waiting for the transfer
to go through, but...

..the account has just emptied,
it's weird.

It looks like a transfer, but
it can't be, it must be a glitch.

Either that or...
Or what?

..someone's just stolen
Luan's money.

That's half a billion.

He'll think it was us.

Who would want to start a w*r
between us and Luan?

Enough.

Enough!
