01x04 - Episode 4

Post by bunniefuu »

No you'll not take her.

- Emily is not here, okay.

- He has her.

Legally, you can't be here.

You can't change the way things

are through sheer will-power.

- What's Winsford?

- He never told you about the second home.

I swear to God, if this is a trick.

You forced me when you

said that you'd take Emily.

Dr. Morgan, please

come to the front desk.

Dr. Morgan to the front desk please.

Three miscarriages,

three failed attempts at IVF,

countless clinics and

all the medication.

And I did that.

And no, no, no, I know

what you're gonna say,

it's not my fault, but,

come on, you know what I mean.

So we thought about adoption.

It wouldn't be your child.

Exactly.

A lot of men feel that way.

I mean, women too.

Well, Jen would be fine with adoption.

We did try a surrogate.

- Right.

- In America.

A hundred grand

they disappeared.

I know we need to stop, but

You can't let this go?

I don't know what to do, I

don't know where we go from here.

Jack, can I offer you a solution?

Yes, please.

So, from what you've told me,

Jen is at the end of

her fertility journey,

you can't have a family with her.

But you do have choices.

You can choose to let this go,

this idea of what a family should be.

It sounds as if you have a

wife who loves you very much.

She could be your family.

Or

Do you want to start over

with someone else?

Because if you need to do

that, then I want you to.

Okay?

It costs me saying that.

But we've been to hell

and back enough times now

to know that the truth

has to be faced eventually.

It's your life too, Jack,

you deserve to be happy.

You can't stay with me just

because you promised to.

I don't want that.

That's not love.

Love has to be selfish.

And if it's not, then

it's something else entirely.

All I ever wanted

was just a family with you.

That's all.

Oh sh*t.

Are you okay?

Can you hear me?

Yeah.

It sounds as if you have a

wife who loves you very much.

She could be your family.

Or

Or I start again, with someone else.

Jack.

Jack.

Jack. Jack.

What the hell are you doing?

- You can't go in there.

- Is she's bleeding?

- Does she need an ambulance?

- She'll hurt you.

- She hates you, Jen.

- She doesn't.

Do you really think I'd

do something like that

unless I absolutely had to.

Do you, Jen?

Why did you bring her here?

She wanted to see her daughter.

- See her, to just see her?

- Yeah.

Is that what she told you?

No, okay, she was gonna take her Jack,

- but she promised, she promised me.

- She lied to you. She lied!

It's what she does,

she lies all the time.

If she takes Emily now,

I'll never see my daughter

again, do you understand?

Now I need you to take Emily

somewhere safe, all right,

somewhere she can't get to her.

Jack.

What are you gonna do?

Make her an offer.

Money?

She's not gonna take money.

She already has, Jen.

I paid off her debt, I

moved her into the house, I married her.

- And now she's weaponizing Emily and

- So,

what, you've been giving her money?

And now what, you're

just gonna pay her off?

And what if she won't go?

She'll go.

What the hell happened, Jack?

Where is she?

Jack, where's Tasha?

I don't know, I don't know where she is.

She hit me and she ran, all right.

What did you do?

What did I do?

What exactly do you think I did, huh?

She hit me and she ran

and pushed me in a six foot

f*cking concrete hole, Jen.

And you're asking if she's okay.

Jesus f

I don't think you

understand what happened.

She did this and she left

me for dead, all right.

Well then, you have to call the police.

You have to call them.

No, no.

Fine, then I will.

No, Jen she'll twist this.

She'll twist it and then

it'll be her word against mine.

All right? And even

even you don't believe me.

So we have to leave first

thing in the morning, all right.

I'm sorry, but I have

got myself involved

with someone very very very dangerous.

Yeah. This is your wife

you're talking about.

I'm well aware of that and

that's why we have to go.

What are you talking about?

You and me, go where?

It's always been about you and me.

I don't understand.

It's simple, Jen. This

This is what I want.

I want you.

Tell me you want me too.

I want you.

New contract's in Toronto, so,

legally I can take Emily with me.

What if Tasha goes to the police?

She left me for dead, Jen,

she's not going to the police.

So if we go to Toronto,

custody stays with me,

at least until the divorce goes through.

Okay, you get us on a

flight tomorrow night.

Right?

And then once we're there, the

new company will sort everything:

the accommodation, everything,

until we get on our feet.

Our feet?

Yeah.

I mean, you've had time

to think about this, but

I just can't help but

think that this is

Reactive.

Yes.

It is.

Look,

I don't want to stay

here and fight this out.

I don't want to put Emily through that.

Tasha's made it perfectly clear

that she will stop at nothing

until she gets what she wants.

I need you with me.

I do, I need you.

You kept my name.

So tomorrow night,

three Warrington get on a flight

to their new life.

We pretend she's mine.

- And Tasha?

- Tasha is young

and she's reckless

and she throws herself

from one thing to the next.

So you never even loved her?

- Your marriage, it was all just

- Jen, listen.

I mean, how could you have been so sure

that I would still be here

at the end of all of ?

Why do you think I kept you so close?

I love you so much.

Right.

I'll be back tonight.

I need to get everything sorted.

Oh hi.

- Tasha, what the f*ck, are you all right?

- I'm fine.

- No, no, we need to get you to a hospital.

- God no, it's just a cut.

- I'm fine, I'm not in pain.

- Okay well, we need to at least go back to mine.

I need to go back to Winsford.

- I left.

- No, no.

Listen, we're not

going back to Winsford.

This is f*cked up, man,

- look what he's done to your neck.

- No, it doesn't matter.

If he's alive, I'm never

gonna see my daughter again.

He'll find a way, and if he's dead

Just just get in the car.

We need to find Emily.

So he's not at home or at Jen's.

Have you had any luck finding anything?

I've called all the hospitals.

- Yeah, and ?

- Nothing.

So now what?

If he hasn't reported me,

he's up to something else.

We have to find her soon, or

Or what?

What can we do?

Jen

you told me we can't

change the way things are

through sheer willpower

but it's not true.

I don't know where Emily and Jack are,

but you do

and you can change all of this.

You have that choice.

He was manipulating everything.

I hope you can see that.

So please do the right thing

and bring her back to me.

I need my baby.

And I promise you, when

you do, I'll be gone.

I'll be packed and ready to

disappear from your life, forever.

Oh my God.

So please do the right thing

and bring her back to me.

I need my baby.

And I promise you, when

you do, I'll be gone.

I'll be packed and ready to

disappear from your life, forever.

So when were you gonna tell me?

- Never?

- Oh.

Oh, f*ck.

You're a piece of sh*t, I trusted you.

- And out of everyone, you do this.

- It wasn't like that.

You showed up after two years

because you had this idea.

- You pretended to help me.

- No, no, I came back for you.

- not for her.

- Bullshit, you came back for her.

You snuck into my house,

you followed my husband.

You spent time with my

daughter and then you stood back

and watched the whole thing fall apart.

What do you want from me?

You wanted to be a dad?

Is that all I am to all of you,

- a f*cking uterus?

- What?

No.

No, I just, I needed to know.

I told you, Sam.

I told you she was Jack's.

The dates don't line up.

You thought I'd lied?

You know what?

I've had enough of this sh*t.

No, no, no, look, look,

look, look, look, look

Look, I made a mistake all right.

I'm here for you.

Look, you know how I feel about you

and you never say anything about it

because if you acknowledged

it, you'd have to do something.

- Sam, you have a pick up.

- Oh, f*ck

All right, look, I've got

I'm on a night shift.

I'm gonna be back at

7:00 a.m. in the morning

and we're gonna sort

this out, all right.

I promise.

I f*cked up.

f*ck.

Why do you think I kept you so close?

It's always been about you and me.

Hey you.

Hi, just returning your call.

Look, I know it's late.

I'm pretty concerned about

this christening situation.

Why don't you come over

tomorrow? We'll talk more.

Bring wine.

Oh, I haven't had this in ages.

So fancy, thank you. Thank you so much.

This is what I want.

I want you.

Hi, it's me. Look, I'm

outside the house right now.

Sorry, I know you're at

work. I just need to get

those old tax boxes down from the loft.

Oh, well Tasha should be in, is she not?

She's not answering.

Well, you've got your

old keys, just go in.

Don't worry about it.

Are you sure?

Agh! What the hell are

doing in my kitchen?

- I think I'm gonna leave.

- Yeah, I think you should.

Tell me you want me too.

I want you.

If you could just pick

her up and have her for

an hour, no more than

two, I promise, no more.

I've just got a couple of

things that we need to do.

Jack, I don't think I

should be the one to

Two hours, I promise.

Nursey knows you'll collect.

They've got your picture

in their desk thing.

I love you.

What does she look like,

the woman who took my child?

Oh f*ck.

f*ck.

Hey, sorry, I know this

is crazy but someone has

taken my car and I just need to

can I use yours for a few hours?

- Oh okay.

- Yeah?

Yeah, yeah.

Agh! How do you turn your

f*cking Bluetooth off?

I know where you're going.

Don't do it Tash, don't meet them.

You don't know anything.

I'm 15 minutes away.

Heathrow Terminal 2, right?

Yeah, look I'm on my way.

I need you to wait for me.

- No, you don't get to do this, Sam.

- No, no, no.

This isn't about, I don't

want you to forgive me or

for what I did.

You cannot go back to him again.

Not after what he did. It's not safe.

I gotta go. I gotta

go. I think I see them.

No.

Jack.

Jack, Jack, Jack.

- Jack.

- Oh sh*t.

Grab his leg.

Emergency Responders

have been working tonight

at the scene of a crash on the A4,

two miles east of Heathrow Airport.

Eyewitness reports suggest a lorry

carrying flammable

liquids burst into flames

when an SUV traveling West,

drove across the central

reservation into incoming traffic,

colliding with the vehicle.

At least one man has lost his life

and five other people are in a

serious condition in hospital,

with at least two people

still unaccounted for.

They're setting her now.

Oh please, please. I'm looking for my

child, baby.

Brown hair, brown eyes, Emily.

Okay, whereabout did you lose her?

She was in the car, she

was in the car with me.

She was in the car with you, your child?

Yes, she was in the car.

Did somebody pull her out?

I can't even see the

car anymore, it's gone.

- They're all the same.

- Okay, well, which car?

The SUV, it's black.

Okay. This is Sierra 47.

Anyone got eyes on an

SUV, color black, on site?

Okay madam, let's find

you somewhere to sit down.

No, no, no, no, no.

Mrs. Warrington.

No!

Mrs. Warrington.

We know you're in shock

and I understand this

is incredibly painful.

But as you know, we are looking into

how this could have

happened to your daughter.

The oversights.

We also need to know

how the incident began.

Your husband and Mrs.

Warrington were unconscious

when they were pulled from the vehicle,

before the fire took hold and

No one knew to look for a car seat.

The chemical fire burnt

at a thousand degrees.

As with the poor lorry driver who died,

there was very little

anyone could have done.

Due to the severity of the fire,

the site was heavily disturbed.

However, enough evidence of Emily's DNA

was found on the car seat

and within the vehicle

to confirm that Emily

unfortunately lost her life.

So we have Natasha Warrington

driving without a license.

Dangerous driving.

Paramedics found contusions on her neck,

bruising on her head they say

wasn't caused by the incident.

Your ex-husband, Jack

Warrington was driving, not you,

as you previously suggested. You see,

we have a written statement

from one of the motorists

who pulled him from the vehicle.

But our records show that Jack

shouldn't have been driving.

Natasha Warrington wasn't responsible

for what happened, was she?

We've been gradually lifting

the medication since surgery

in order to give the swelling

a chance to dissipate.

But at this stage, we'd hoped for that

to have begun to resolve itself.

We really are at the mercy of

the natural healing process here.

He could regain consciousness

within the next few days,

which we have every hope of happening.

But if not, then we'll

have to start considering

a more long-term plan.

Almighty God, the Father,

the Son and the Holy Spirit,

come down on you and

remain with you forever.

Amen.

You're here.

Of course you are, of

course she'd bring you.

He might not wake up.

Do you know that? Did they did

they tell you what you did to him?

You might have got to her somehow to,

to get her to pin this all on him, but,

- we all know you did it. You did this.

- Hayley, come on.

You k*lled her and if he

wakes up, this will break him.

But that's what you

wanted all along, isn't it?

- You f*cking b*tch.

- Okay, Hayley,

that's enough all right.

Tasha.

- Come on, you gotta leave it.

- I just wanna talk to her.

I just need to speak to her.

If I hadn't have texted her

if I hadn't have gotten involved

She won't accept my calls,

- i just I just don't know what else to do.

- You gotta give her some time.

Okay.

Sam, something's happened,

I need you to listen to me.

Tasha, what are you doing?

- Come on.

- This never happened.

I'm trusting you.

Don't go too far.

Thank you for trusting me.

Seeing past what you thought I was.

Look, I'm sorry that you got

dragged into all of this

our mess.

Something good came out of it though.

You have Emily.

It did.

It's not your fault, Jen.

You know that, right?

You weren't responsible for him.

And everything I've done,

the lies I've told,

it's not okay.

But I had to be sure.

He would've found a way to blame me.

I just

I wish I'd seen the truth sooner.

We're sold a lie from birth,

the idea that there are

good people and bad people,

but there aren't.

We all think we're good people.

We all

have the best of intentions.

You know, I have no

doubt that in his mind,

he did it for love.

He did it for us, for me.

Some misplaced sense of

what that might look like.

Love can justify almost anything

if you believe in it hard enough.

It makes us all do terrible things.

Oh there she is.
