01x08 - Know You Are Loved

[bunniefuu]

- f*ck. f*ck. f*ck.
- [men shouting indistinctly in distance]

[shuddering]

[groans]

- [panting]
- [whistles blowing in distance]

[straining]

Okay.

[suspenseful music playing]

[grunts] Okay.

[groans]

[whistles blowing]

[men shouting angrily]

[shouting grows louder]

[breathing heavily]

[intriguing string music plays]

[humming growing louder]

[humming stops]

[gentle music playing]

[sighs]

So, what now?

Did she make it?

I don't know.

But if it's worked,
then we shouldn't be here.

But we are.

[music continues]

God, I hate it here.

[music fades]

I feel like I'm walking over my own grave.

[thunder rumbling in distance]

Defoe.

[mysterious music playing]

She made it.

[chuckles softly]

[Hasan] Wait.

There's Hillinghead, but look.

[ominous music playing]

[dramatic string music playing]

Inspector, there's a cr*pple
in the cell saying your name.

- Tell him to wait.
- He's a she, sir.

[knock at door]

Inside is everything you need
to get your man, Inspector.

[Paxman] About time.

Leave it there.

The case is now closed.

So this cr*pple, sir,
she's q*eer sounding.

Keeps saying, "Get me Hillinghead."
Howling it, sir.

I think her name was May, Maypolewood.
Ring any bells?

Never heard of her. Deal with it yourself.

Tell her I'm a wanted man.

[music continues]

What's the matter?

Is it the journalist?

[loud knocking at door]

- [officer] Open up!
- [Polly] You didn't do this!

[Paxman] Your husband's a m*rder*r,
Mrs. Hillinghead.

- [Polly] He...
- See his signed confession for yourself.

Have it your own way, Hillinghead.

[camera flash whooshes]

[groans]

[yells]

[man muttering indistinctly]

[exhales]

- [cell door closes]
- [keys jingling]

[exhales]

[music fades]

[woman] Thirsty?

[cup clinking]

[Hillinghead] Thank you.

[woman groans softly]

[Hillinghead] Oh, you're the cr*pple.

You were calling my name.

[mysterious music playing]

[Maplewood grunts] Finally!

[shudders]

You've just handed yourself in
for m*rder, right?

The... The Longharvest m*rder?

How do you know that? Who are you?

I, uh...

[sputtering] I come from a far...

Mm.

No. No, um...

Do you read science fiction?

Science what?

[footsteps approaching]

This is going to sound crazy...

- Uh-huh.
- [door closes]

...but it's the truth.

You've just got to listen to me.

Okay?

- Uh-huh.
- [Maplewood chuckles dryly] Okay.

The m*rder you've confessed to...

he was found naked.

A b*llet hole in his left eye.

A weird marking on his wrist.

There was no exit wound.

And no b*llet.

How could you know that?

Because I'm the one who sh*t him.

The body you found,

your suspect, Sir Julian Harker,

and me,

we're all from the future.

[Hillinghead] Oh, right.

In that future, Harker's committed m*rder

on a scale you could never believe.

- [grunting softly]
- Hundreds of thou... What?

What are you doing?

[Hillinghead groans]
Just leave me in peace.

[Maplewood] Peace? But...

f*ck no, you... you've got to listen.

- You've got to...
- [man] You! Water.

- [clanks]
- [man grunts]

My daughter threw tantrums like you.

Till she was years old.

- I slept through those.
- [officer] Come on, with me.

And I shall sleep through these.

[cell door closes]

You carved your name
on the brick of Longharvest Lane

with the sign from the body.

Why did you?

[gentle music playing]

[softly] I...

left a message.

[Maplewood] For who?

The future.

Alfred.

You left a message for the future.

And here I am.

[dramatic synth music plays]

[grunts]

In the time I come from,

I'm a detective on this same case.

Just like you.

And I've traveled from there
to stop Julian Harker.

He's creating a loop that must be broken.

He's gonna marry your daughter.

She's going to have his child.

- [music fades]
- And so many people are going to die.

Stop!

Stop. Stop this masquerade.

[gentle music playing]

Did Harker send you here? Huh?

To tip me into lunacy?

What is your purpose?!

I just want you to listen to me.

Please.

Then you can choose to believe me or not.

- Okay.
- [Hillinghead gasps softly]

[Maplewood] Shh.

It's not like you have
anywhere better to be.

[both chuckling]

And if we can stop him,
everything would change.

Mannix wouldn't exist.

Defoe's body wouldn't arrive.

None of this would ever have happened.

You'd be whoever you were
before you found the body.

We all would.

Why did you join the police?

To belong.

[scoffs softly]

Why did you?

[exhales] To... To hide.

Why hide?

[Ladbroke] Hillinghead!

[ominous music playing]

[Maplewood] You... What... What is it?

I'm to be transferred tonight.

- What? Transferred?
- Mm-hmm.

Already? No. No.

No, no, no, it's too soon.

For what?

[Maplewood] sh*t. Okay.

Go on, tell me! Tell me!

You die on the way to prison.

It goes down as su1c1de.

- You can change this. Please.
- [Ladbroke] Hillinghead.

I'm to escort you to Pentonville.

Please! Please, you've got to talk to him.

Only you can change everything!

[Ladbroke] Ensure you're treated
with some dignity.

[Hillinghead grunts]

[frantic string music playing]

No.

- Please. Please.
- [officer] Come on, now.

[Hillinghead grunts]

[panting]

[door closes, locks]

[music continues]

Why are you really here, Ladbroke?

[music building]

[music swells]

[music stops]

[door opens]

You.

You're a fool.

You could have let
that journalist take the blame.

But instead, you chose
to sacrifice yourself.

For what?

For love?

Love for him?

There's not much between us, Alfred.

I know what it's like to live a lie.

Stop.

[ominous music playing]

Stop.

You're here to k*ll me.

I know who you really are.

I know...

everything about you.

I know... the truth about you.

[chuckles softly]

A river of blood
flows through these hands.

[chains rattle]

And you will k*ll me.

But if I could just see my daughter
one last time,

I would drag her away from you
like a child from a cliff edge

and tell her the truth about what you are.

Why her?

Tell me!

Love?

What could you possibly know of love

when your whole existence negates it?

You don't have a shred
of self-sacrifice in you, do you?

And so you will lie to her.

And, Elias, you will destroy her.

[mysterious music playing]

What did you call me?

Elias.

Elias Mannix.

How do you know that name?

The Morleys lied to you.

And you lied to you.

You won't die loved.

You will die alone, full of regret.

Too weak and afraid to change.

Who told you that?

Spirits, of course.

[Hillinghead laughing]

Don't you walk away from me.

[melancholy string music playing]

Coward!

Everything you ever believed in!

- Everything!
- [Ladbroke] Hillinghead, enough!

[Hillinghead] Elias! Elias!

It's not too late...

[grunting, choking]

[shudders]

Polly.

I have some bad news.

[music continues]

You said yourself this would be a w*r,

and wars demand sacrifice.

Know you are loved, sir.

[door opens, closes]

I heard my own voice

promise me I'd find love.

And I have.

I've found love.

I promised myself we'd be happy.

And we will be.

[mysterious music playing]

So why would I lie to myself?

I wouldn't.

I couldn't.

I do.

Know you are loved.

[music intensifies]

[music fades]

[gentle music playing]

Forgive me.

What's the matter?

Tell me.

Is it something that I've done?

No.

Then... tell me the truth, Julian. Please.

I can't.

[door opens]

[Polly] Julian? I'm sorry,
but it... it can't wait.

Come spring, you're to be a father.

That's wonderful.

[chuckles softly]

Are you... Are you not happy?

Of course I am.

Perhaps we should ask your mother

if it is to be a boy or a girl.

Or... do you already know?

It will be a boy.

[chuckles]

It'll be a new start for us, won't it?

A new family.

[suspenseful string music playing]

[music fades]

[woman gasps]

Baby was kicking, I couldn't...

I couldn't sleep.

I had to know what it was
that was troubling you so.

Whether it was my fault or something else.

The night that my father d*ed,
you changed.

I've always wondered why.

You did see him that night, didn't you?

I realize now I...

I recognize this man.

He's the man that my father
confessed to murdering. Am I right?

[tense music playing]

The man in your painting?

You will tell me the truth, Julian,
or you will never, ever see me again.

Don't come any closer.

On the life...

of your unborn child...

did you have a part in my...

in my father's death?

Yes.

[Polly stifles sob]

I k*lled him.

[ominous music playing]

- Leave me alone.
- You've no choice!

- [sobbing] You said...
- Listen to me.

- Listen to me! Listen to me!
- [screams, whimpers]

You can't change this.

I'm from the future.

The child you carry begets a son.

Then generations are born, then I am born.

If we don't do this, then I don't exist.

Neither does your child.

- [whimpers]
- Do you understand?

[Polly shudders]

[exhales]

You've no choice.

- [groaning]
- [church bell tolling]

[inhales deeply]

[doctor] The child is crowning.
Push, Lady Harker, push.

[groaning loudly]

[gasps]

- [panting]
- [baby crying]

Congratulations, Sir Julian.

You're the proud father
of a healthy baby boy.

He looks just like you.

Elias.

Polly.

Please, I beg you.

Let him know he is loved.

- No life should start with such...
- [baby coos]

...coldness,

such pain.

We're meant to be happy.

And I promise you, we will be.

[dramatic string music playing]

Know you are loved.

Know you are loved.

Know you are loved.

- [music fades]
- [air raid siren blaring]

Whiteman is hiding the girl in his flat.

I know what I must do.

I've always hated these earrings.

Why have you never told me how I must die?

How long do I have?

Years?

Or hours?

[Mannix] Polly, please stop.

Forgive me.

I never meant any of this for you.

[Polly] And how about you?

How do you die?

Must be soon.

Is it me? Do I k*ll you?

I hope it's me.

It's time.
No point putting it off any longer.

Last one, sir.

[sputtering] We could make
a different record.

We could tell myself not to do it.

- We could change everything.
- No.

Nothing can change.

Everything depends on it.

Your son, your grandchildren,
their children.

The world you create.

It's a lie.

Then lie as if your life depends on it.

Their lives, if not yours.

[Mannix] I have lived your life, Elias.

As you sit on that boat,

with your heart b*ating in your chest...

[door closes]

[tense music playing]

- [pleasant music playing]
- [birds chirping]

[crow cawing]

[footsteps approaching]

[ominous music playing]

Lady Harker requested
I take the equipment.

It attracts dust.

It's fine.

Leave it here.

I need to rest.

Very well, sir.

[door opens, closes]

I pray these truths find you, Elias.

[mysterious music playing]

Somehow, they have laid dormant in me

for far too long.

Every word you've ever heard from me
has been a lie.

[playing gentle melody]

[clock ticking]

- [g*nsh*t]
- [music stops]

[footsteps approaching]

[ominous music playing]

I need you to listen to me.

Her name was Esther.
She was eleven years old.

Please, I beg you. Don't k*ll me yet.

What are you stalling for? The cops?

Too late, they won't save you.

[cocks g*n] This is for her.

[Mannix] Karl.

[mysterious music playing]

Karl Weissman.

What would you give to atone?

To change what has happened?

To save the life of not just Esther,

but hundreds of thousands of people.

Help me make this right.

- The f*ck you on about?
- I need your help.

Only you can do it.

Please.

Get this out of my house.

If my son finds it, he'll destroy it.

What's that?

On this record is the truth.

A truth that will change everything.

That truth must be heard
by the right person.

A detective called Shahara Hasan.

Shahara what? Who?

You're not the only detective
to find that body in Longharvest Lane.

Hillinghead, Hasan, and Maplewood
are all the same as you.

On it... are words that will save everyone.

All those you've lost.

Those... people whose souls I've destroyed.

You can save them all.

Only you.

[Mannix coughing]

Wait.

Wait, old man, come on. Come on.

Get it somewhere safe.

Shahara Hasan.

Please.

For Esther.

For all our sakes.

I beg you.

Just do this one good thing.

[music fades]

[phone ringing]

[ominous music playing]

[Hayden] Whiteman didn't bite.
He's on the loose.

I'm sending armed patrols round
to keep you and Mother safe.

Can you hear me? Father?

It's good of you
to warn your folks, Hayden.

Bit late, mind.

What have you done to them?

My condolences.

You're a dead man.

The whole city's gonna hunt you down.
Do you hear me, Weissman?

Weissman!

[hangs up phone]

He's at Harker House.
I want him sh*t on sight. Understood?

[thunder rumbling]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Hayden] Sergeant Whiteman is a m*rder*r!

The order is to sh**t on sight.

[siren rattling, wailing]

[officer] Whiteman!

[groaning]

[g*nsh*t]

[panting]

[music fading]

[panting]

[ominous music playing]

We all came here.

Go on, kid.

Blow your whistle.

Nah, really. Give it hell.

I won't hurt you.

[thunder rumbling]

[blows weakly]

Go outside. Catch your breath.

- A legend. His last case.

Gunned down by fellow officers.

My memories.

No, wait.

The pub, near here. Our old copper's pub.

[police siren wails]

Whiteman wants me to go there.
There's something he wants me to find.

Ah, the Silk! I remembered.

The pub was called The Silk.

- Oh, f*ck.
- What?

The pub was destroyed
in the blast years ago.

Look... we've still got The Throat.

Let's go.

I want to know!

Elias!

[dramatic music playing]

[loud rumbling, whooshing]

[dramatic string music playing]

[groans]

[distorted whooshing]

[music swells, ends]

There was an unexploded World w*r II b*mb

that was discovered
during an ordnance survey.

It's being dismantled
and we are evacuating the bank for safety.

- [door opens]
- [ominous music playing]

[man on TV] Now,
these pictures have come in

during the last few minutes or so,

showing chaos, uh, in the streets,

as the area
around the private bank is secured...

[dramatic music playing]

[exhales]

[Whiteman] Don't believe everything
they say about me.

Here's one good thing.

[music fades]

[man on TV] ...Rail and London Transport
services have been badly affected,

and the traffic is still coming
to a standstill.

[gentle music playing]

As you can see by the pictures here,
it's self-evident...

[loud knock at door]

...the area is, uh, being closed off
by the police now.

[sniffles]

Yes, police are...

[knocking at door]

[Hasan] Sarah! I need to talk to you.

[knocking at door] Sarah,
please open the door.

- [knocking continues]
- [music fades]

[panting]

It's Detective Hasan.

Detective Hasan.

[Hasan] Sarah, don't freak out.

[phone ringing, vibrating]

Sarah? You okay?

[woman] Shahara, am I on speaker?

Sarah, is that you?

This isn't Sarah. Take me off speaker,
pull over, and I'll explain.

Please, Shaz, just do it.

- What's going on?
- I don't know.

[children shouting, laughing]

Where's Sarah?

Sarah's safe.

Take me off speaker.

You're off speaker. Who is this?

Shahara, when you see me,

you are going to want to freak out.

Don't.

If you don't recognize me immediately,
you'll hurt my feelings.

Who are you?

You know.

Who is that? What's going on?

There's another trigger.

And all Elias has to do is find a phone,
dial a number, and everybody dies.

Don't spook him.

Don't let him run off.

Nod if you understand.

Okay.

Now, wind down your window,
and those kids,

hovering on those bikes,
spook 'em with the siren.

Tell them to f*ck off, just do it.

Shahara, it's not like you don't know how.

Oi, you three. Get lost.

[children laughing]

- [siren wailing]
- Do you want to get arrested? Piss off.

What is going on?

Okay, Shaz.

Now put me on speaker.

Elias, can you hear me?

Who are you?

You figured that out already.

Elias.

I know what Barber gave you.

[gentle music playing]

I know what it is you're about to do.

Where I come from,
you did dial that number.

And hundreds of thousands of people d*ed.

Including my son.

Jawad.

No.

I know that you've been promised
that it will be a better place.

I know that you've been promised love,
that you'll know it.

Feel it.

But you've been lied to by everyone.

I don't expect you to take my word for it,

but maybe you'll take your own.

[Elias gasps softly]

[music fades]

[gentle music playing]

[Mannix] I pray
these truths find you, Elias.

Somehow, they have laid dormant
in me for far too long.

Every word you've ever heard from me
has been a lie.

This isn't fair on you. It never has been.

The sacrifice
I am about to ask you to make

will be the most unfair thing of all.

- No. Sarah, don't.
- Our heart has never healed, Elias.

- Let him finish it.
- The pain is always there.

It's never left.

It's unbearable.

I feel it now.

I still have that dream.

[gasps]

Me...

holding that sick, withered,
frightened boy in my arms.

I can't see his face,

but I know... I have to take his life.

I pray it will be quick,

and painless.

His eyes are filled
with fear and betrayal,

and all I can do is hold him.

[sobbing]

Hold him and let him know he is loved.

It's more than just a dream, Elias.

It's a message.

A message for now.

For us.

And now we know what we must do.

[dramatic music playing]

I'm sorry, my boy.

Please forgive me.

And know you are loved.

[sobbing]

f*ck.

She's nicked my apples.
