Post by bunniefuu »

Simon, if someone

was to hurt your little girl,

you'd want to know who it was,

wouldn't you?

I've got to find them. Me.

Hey, 32. I know what you did.

'Don't worry. I won't tell no-one.

'Because I own you now.'

Ask-Ask Ask him.

He-He'll tell you.

'Jordan's crew,

they hang around a shop,

'and apparently, there's often

a bit of bother there.'

If you tell your dad,

you'll get nothing.

Or you can just shut your mouth

and do as I tell you.

You will get £3,000 per month.

Come with me.

Simon's the one that hit me.

You need to come and get me

right now!

Was he moving?

I don't know.

Oh, God, what if I've k*lled him?

Oh, my God!

What are we gonna do?

Simon! What are we gonna do?!

We're gonna pick up Sophie,

then we're gonna go to the police!

Hi. Hi, Mr White.

How are you doing? You all right?

You haven't seen Simon about,

have you?

Mark!

Are you sure about this?

Well, what alternative do we have?

Enough's enough, and I'm going to

tell them that I was driving.

You want to lie again to the police?

Well if we both get arrested,

what's going to happen to Sophie?

No, please. Please, please, just

Just Just

Wait a second.

We can't just walk

into a police station

and start talking.

We need legal advice.

What do you want?

I don't want anything.

Just saying hello.

Doctors prescribed that, did they?

Yeah, whatever.

Actually,

I did want to ask you something.

It's about Simon Henderson.

Who?

Oh, you don't know who Simon is?

A lot of people save your life,

then, do they?

You said you didn't know who he was

on the night of the attack.

Are you sure about that?

Yeah. And?

So you didn't see him right here

a few weeks back?

Two of you got into an argument,

didn't you?

You can't interview me on my own.

I'm a minor.

It's not an interview.

We're just talking.

I'm feeling intimidated

and threatened by your questions.

I'd like an adult to be present.

Fair enough.

I'll speak to your dad,

ask him to bring you in.

Can I go now, miss?

Yeah, course. I'm not stopping you.

Sorry for scaring you.

No, I

Course I understand, yeah.

No, it's, er

Well, could you just please

give me a call if anything changes?

Yeah, thank you.

I can't get a solicitor anywhere.

At least, erm not one

that will be available today.

You sure we're doing

the right thing? Yes.

We need to know

what our options are.

What if we don't have any options?

What if?

It's him.

Sophie, love. Come here, love.

Come on, we need to go.

What's going on?

No, we've got to go.

Simon!

Simon.

He SIGHS

Well, er

It's OK, yeah. It's

What?

I think we should, erm

I think we should find

somewhere else to stay tonight.

We can't risk going home.

Sorry, sorry. Sorry, love.

Find him, call me.

Jordan?

Jordan, lad, you in?

What's going on?

What? Nothing?

Why?

What do you mean, "why"?

I'm your dad.

You heard from Uncle Mark?

Uncle Mark?

Mm.

Why?

He said he was gonna take me out

somewhere, that's all.

Where?

I don't know,

for a burger or whatever.

For a burger?

Yeah.

Why would Uncle Mark

be taking you for a burger?

I've just got out of hospital,

haven't I?

Are you on something, lad?

No.

Jordan

Look at me.

I said look at me!

Look, I've not took nothing.

Hello.

'We should talk.'

OK.

Where are you?

What have you heard?

Mark's in hospital.

He got hit by a car.

What car?

I don't know, but he's been nicked.

He had a g*n on him.

Where was this?

On the site, near the office.

And there's something else, too.

Kev saw him driving there

with Jordan.

And that fella, Simon.

Simon?

That's what he said.

Are we staying here tonight?

Yes, we certainly are.

Yeah.

There's a telly in the room,

and we'll be able

to get room service.

Anything you like.

213. Here we are.

There we go.

sh*t.

You brought that sh*t into my house?

Where'd you get the cash from,

Jordan?

A mate lent it me.

Oh, yeah? What mate's that?

You've been with Mark.

And that Simon.

What's that about?

Jordan.

I am gonna ask you one more time,

just once.

And if you lie to me

..I'm gonna put you through

that wall.

It was him.

It was Simon.

He's the one that hit me.

'How are you doing, 32?'

You've been shouting at my mates

in the park.

My daughter, she cut her leg

on a glass bottle Nah.

You're a paedo, innit?

Just get away.

You trying to touch me, 32?

Is that what you like, is it?

Cos you like 'em young, don't you?

Just like your little girl.

I just spoke to one of the nurses

in A&E.

That guy, Mark,

he's just got a few broken ribs.

That's all. Nothing serious.

But he's also been arrested.

I don't know what for,

but the police are with him now.

God. At least I'm not a m*rder*r.

Do you want a drink?

Yeah.

OK. Er

They've got sh*t, overpriced beer,

sh*t, overpriced white wine,

sh*t, overpriced red wine

sh*t, overpriced red wine, please.

Right.

I'd say we should let it breathe,

but

I imagine it's better just to

..knock it back.

I wish I could sleep like that.

Just, like, anywhere.

God!

Oh!

That's awful!

Isn't it?

Simon, whatever happens next

..this is not all on you.

None of this is your fault, is it?

- Is it?

- I don't want

I don't want to lose you.

I love you.

I should hope so!

- Yeah?

- 'Any sign of him?'

There's no lights on.

'That doesn't mean he's not inside.'

Just wait there.

I'll be there shortly. All right?

So

..what did you do

to make Simon hit you?

Well, I don't know.

He's mental or something.

What were you doing

outside his house? Nothing.

He just ran out,

he grabbed hold of

Stop f*cking lying to me!

Stop it!

I've not done nothing.

Just get off.

Please. Dad

Please.

You let us think that you had

some problem with your memory,

like you had f*cking brain damage.

And for what?

Do we not give you enough,

your mum and me, huh? No

Is this not enough?

Y-Yeah, but

Do you know what?

If this gets out, right

If people find out

what he did to you

I've got to go and I've got to deal

with that man now, Jordan.

Do you understand what that means?

I give up. I give up.

Are you happy?

Are you? Is this what you wanted?

Is THIS what you wanted?

He could be with the police

right now.

He could be telling them

that you're blackmailing him.

Now, you could do time

for this, lad,

and I'm talking proper time.

And what? And you haven't?

'Ey.

There's a f*cking reason

I did what I did.

It bought this house.

It put clothes on your back.

I mean what is the matter

with you?

I'm being serious, Jordan.

I want to know.

I want to know. There has

to be something wrong with you.

Because we have given you

everything you could possibly want

your whole entire life.

And you've just f*cked it

every time!

And don't you dare give me

that ADHD bollocks.

This is you. Right?

This is you.

Now get out of my sight!

Hello, Simon?

You left a few messages,

so, er

Sorry it's late.

No, not a problem.

I'm doing a night shift.

I wanted to arrange a time

for you to come in.

I've got a couple more questions.

Simon?

Simon?

I can't help you

if I don't know what's going on.

Look, I'm in the station.

Why don't you come in now?

Are you at home?

'No.'

Right, where are you, then?

No, sorry.

Simon, no, wait, hang on.

I shouldn't have called.

'Simon, don't hang'

Who are you?

What?

Who are you?

I've been watching you

sat here, and

I'm gonna call the police.

You do that, and you're a dead man.

Kelly?

We've just had a call

from your witness.

What, Simon?

No, the old guy.

It's all right, darling.

Stay nice and calm.

That's it, little breaths.

That's it.

What's brought this on?

I think she's allergic

to the pillows.

Can you get her inhaler, please?

In her school bag.

It's all right.

Daddy's getting your inhaler.

Really well. Good girl.

Now, nice, slow breaths.

It's not here.

Sophie, do you know

where your inhaler is?

When did you last have it?

Lunchtime.

And did a teacher help you?

Did she put it back in your bag?

There's an all-night pharmacy

round here somewhere.

I'm gonna run her a hot bath.

Steam should help her breathe.

Yeah. OK. All right.

It's all right now.

Anything?

No, no, it's closed.

We'll be lucky to find anywhere

round here open at this time

If this gets much worse,

then I'm taking her to A&E.

No, but No, that

That thug, Paul Franklin's mate,

if he's there,

he's bound to have someone

watching over him.

We can't leave her like this.

There's that spare inhaler

in her bedroom.

Simon, no.

Mr White, can I come in?

You told one of my colleagues

over the phone

that you'd seen someone outside,

but you didn't give a description.

He was parked outside next door.

Right, outside Simon's house?

I've lived here 20 years.

It-It is It is not right.

He wants trouble,

I'll give him trouble!

That's not why you've got

that knife out, is it?

Don't give me that look.

This is my house.

Do me a favour.

Put that away, please.

What do you expect?

You lot never come around.

Well, I'm here now.

Yeah, you're here now.

Took you long enough,

and now he's gone.

You said you'd seen this gentleman

outside Simon's house.

Have you seen him tonight?

Simon, I mean.

Bobbies on the beat.

Whatever happened to that?

Cost too much, did it?

Mr White, please

It's all money.

Isn't it?

That's all anyone cares about.

And you wonder why people

take the law into their own hands.

No wonder he hit that lad!

Who?

Simon.

It was him you saw, wasn't it?

He could be in a lot of trouble,

not just with the police.

I need you to tell me the truth.

Male, IC1, mid-50s, 5'7".

I haven't got a photo, no.

His name's Simon Henderson.

Can you circulate that ASAP? Yeah.

Thanks.

Argh.

Stay down here, all right?

Yeah, OK.

I know you're in there!

I've seen you!

What is it, boss?

Don't tell me to calm down.

Someone's breaking in.

Not here, next door! Are you deaf?

Won't be long.

Hi. I don't suppose you have

an asthma inhaler, by any chance?

No.

Oh, OK. Thanks. Thank you.

Great, thank you.

Thanks so much. Thanks.

OK, you ready?

Big breath when I say. Ready? And

Breathe.

One, two, three.

How's that feel? Better?

Oh. Good girl.

Shall we watch a bit of telly?

Mm-hm.

Yeah. Come on, then.

Can I help you, sir?

Hiya, mate. Yeah, erm

I think I might have lost

my key card. Try reception.

OK. All right. Cheers.

Was it you here earlier

when I checked in?

No. I've only just come on shift.

Ah.

My name's Simon Henderson.

I'm staying in room 213.

Yeah?

'They were here.

Done a runner.

'Get over here now, help me look.'

'Don't go to the hotel.

They know we were staying there.'

What?

'Soph and I

got out the back entrance,

'and we managed to flag down a cab.'

Are you all right? Is Sophie OK?

'She's fine. I found an inhaler.

Are you safe?'

Er, yes, they-they've gone now.

W-Where are you?

You've been there this whole time.

Just get out of my way, Jordan.

You think you're better than me.

Is that it?

Well, you owe me.

I want an apology.

What?

You almost k*lled me.

You never said sorry.

So you're gonna get down

on your knees right now,

and you're gonna apologise.

No. No, you're gonna beg me

to forgive you.

You're insane.

No, get off me.

Say sorry.

Say sorry!

Say f*cking sorry.

Sorry!

Say sorry!

Argh! Argh!

What have you done?

Hey, hey, hey!

What have you done?!

Go. Just Just go.

Argh Mm

Harry, I need you to go inside

and call an ambulance.

Can you do that for me?

Harry!

What the f*ck is he doing?

Harry, put down the knife!

Put the knife down.

Harry! Harry, it's me, it's me.

Put the knife down.

Put it down.

Let it go.

Argh!

Harry

Harry, go

go and call an ambulance.

Go on.

I need to see this wound.

Get off! Come on! Come on!

I need to see your wound.

I need to see it now!

Right, erm

..I need you to stay still,

but this is going to hurt,

all right?

Right, here we go.

What the f*ck are you doing?!

I'm just applying pressure

to the wound to stop the bleeding.

All right?

And if I don't do this,

you're going to die.

Do you understand?

Call my mum! Let me

Let me speak to her. No.

Let me speak to her.

No, you've got to stay calm.

Let me speak to her, please!

Jordan! Jordan! Listen!

Listen to me.

You've got to stay calm.

All right? The calmer you are,

the slower the heartbeat.

The slower the heartbeat, right,

less blood that you will lose.

You hear me?

Mm-hm. That's it.

Patrol to all units,

patrol to all units.

Stand by and await

further instruction. Over.

OK.

Is he alive?

He is. He's at the hospital now.

Are you OK to talk to me?

I just need to know

that my family are safe.

Safe from who?

From Paul Franklin?

Mr White tells me that

you were the one that hit Jordan.

Is that correct?

Yes.

I'll tell you everything when I

I know that my wife and my daughter

are OK, so

Where are they?

They're on the way to her mother's

in Birmingham.

They might even be there by now.

Right, OK.

You give me the address,

I'll make some calls. Thank you.

I'm afraid I'm going to

have to arrest you now, Simon.

You understand that, don't you?

Try to be still, Jordan.

I know it hurts.

You're doing really well.

Single puncture wound.

Let's get him to theatre

as quick as we can.

Yes, Dr Johnson

Right, you've been arrested

on suspicion of grievous bodily harm

and obstruction of justice.

We're going to keep you here

in custody until your interview.

Do you understand that?

Yes. All right.

This way, please.

Jordan's gonna be fine.

They've patched him up,

given him some blood.

He was lucky.

Did he make a statement?

Yeah, but not about tonight.

What do you mean?

Jordan is now claiming

that he's remembered

who attacked him four weeks ago,

on the night of October the 11th,

when he was found unconscious

outside your house.

He says that he was confronted

by a young male

who appeared to be

in his late teens or early 20s.

And he had never seen

this individual before.

Surprising, to say the least.

So, I have to ask

..why did you tell me earlier

that you'd hit Jordan?

No comment.

Why does his version of events

differ from yours?

No comment.

Did you as*ault Jordan

on the night of October the 11th?

No comment.

Simon

..you told me that you feared

for the safety of your family.

Why was that?

No comment.

Hi, it's me. Erm

Er, listen

They've, er They've let me out.

For now, at least.

Listen, I will tell you more

when you wake up, so

I'm just gonna go home

and get the car, so

I'll see you soon.

I love you.

Get in.

Out.

Walk.

I said walk.

Paul, let me explain.

Anything happens

Anything happens to me, then

they come looking for you first.

I've done this before.

And I'm still here. Get over there.

What do you want me to say?

Tell me. I-I

Stop!

That's far enough.

Do you know what? I

I liked you, Simon.

I trusted you.

He threatened my wife. My daughter.

You'd have done exactly the same.

Doesn't matter.

Not now.

You don't wanna do this.

It's too late.

You've given me no choice.

But we're leaving, Paul.

My wife, my daughter,

we're we're moving away.

You'll never see me again.

You wanted to scare me, Paul.

You've scared me.

You wanted to teach me a less

He is a nightmare.

That boy of mine.

I do love him, but

You could've walked away last night,

but you didn't.

Now, you can go wherever you want.

You can go as far away as you want.

But if I ever see you again

..I won't be sh**ting

above your head.

You understand?

Goodbye, Simon.

Goodbye, Paul.

'Danny, Danny,

come on, you're his big brother.

'You're the one who's supposed

to be showing him the way.'

'Come on, darling.'

'Here you go.

Pass it back to him, then, Jordan.

'Whoa!'

'What are you doing? There you go.'

'Hi, Daddy!'

'That's it.

'Good boys.'

'Good boys. Go on, lads.

'Yes!'

You all right?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Good lad.

That's everything, is it?

Yeah.

Cash, tickets, passport Sophie.

We're definitely taking Sophie,

are we?

Oh, I don't know.

What do you think (?)

Oh, all right, then.

Yeah.

OK.

OK?

Come on.
