[bunniefuu]

Hello? Mum? Sonny?

You've gotta help me.
Why? What's happened?

I don't know. I was...
I was in this bar and...

Where are you?

Sofia. I didn't do anything, OK?
You've gotta believe me.

♪ Hello, hello,
we are the England boys! ♪

Holiday?

Visiting my son.

I'm at... I'm at a police station.

They just threw me
in the back of a van,

and they're not telling me anything.

Listen, Sonny, you just have to
tell them the truth.

Did they get you a solicitor?

They're coming, Mum.
They're f*cking mad.

Mum, I need you, please.

Just tell... Mum, ple...

Britanskiyat tiineiidzhur
Sonny Conran ubi...

Excuse me. Sonny Conran -
what did they say?

The police have made their minds up.
They'll twist anything Sonny says.

I've told him to stay quiet
until we get to court.

Are you all right?
Do you need a minute?

I don't recognise him.

We had a fight, so I hadn't seen him
in three months.

I wasn't sure you'd come.

You've grown your hair.
I didn't recognise you.

For a second, I was relieved.

I thought this whole thing
was a mistake.

This IS a mistake. I didn't do it.

Yeah, I know. Of course you didn't.

Why didn't you tell me
you were in Sofia?

If I'd have known, I...

I thought you were at your dad's.

Oh, well,
you were right about him. He...

Was too embarrassed to come home.

So you went travelling?

Mum,
look, those lads in the fire, I...

I didn't even know them.

And-and-and that Bulgarian kid
they're speaking about,

um, Kristian Georgiev...

..why would I...?

Um...

Is it... Is it true...

..what they're saying?

Is he dead?

Yeah.

Oh, baby...

Conran. I'll be back tomorrow.

We're going to get you out of here -
you trust me.

I love you.

Morning. Good morning, good
morning.

Welcome.

Hello.

Hi, madam. Glass of champagne?

Welcome.

Good morning.

Morning.

Carl had to stay at the hospital.
Oh, did he?

Mm. The fresher the sperm,
the more accurate the reading.

Oh.

So, did they give him something
to watch?

Like, get in the mood?

No. Not even a magazine.

Oh, my God. He had to knock one out
in the toilet.

Ooh.

Sorry.

It wasn't that funny.

The pressure's f*cked up
our sex life. Oh, no, babe.

Oh, no.

I'm just like, "Put it in
and get it over with."

Oh, babe. I know.

And when do you get the results?
Next week.

OK. Mm.

Obviously, I want it to be
all right, but...

Yeah.

..if the problem's not
him, then I'm f... Hey, hey.

It's all right.

How's Sonny holding up?

He's all right.

Yeah, he's all right.
He's putting on a brave face.

Mm.

There's a new jury,
and it's new evidence, so...

..they're gonna see sense this time.

I know it.

The truth - istinata.
Is-ti-na-ta.

Istinata.

We were not chanting.

We were not aggressive.

We did not carry weapons.

We wanted to have fun.

The English hooligans started it.

It was Conran who attacked us.

Jo, it's me.

This is an intervention on
behalf of your social life.

I'm picking you up in an hour.
No excuses this time.

Just get up.

Oh!

Ugh!

Oh! With the lime.

OK.

It's fine. Get over it.
That's disgusting. Right, come on...

Jo. Uh-huh?

People get cards when they leave.

Do you know something I don't?

It's your P45.

Yeah, Zara's grassed you up for
shagging celebrities in first class.

I wish.

Everyone's chipped in -
the whole staff.

No. No, I'm not taking that.

We knew you'd say that.

Yeah, and you're going to
say it's charity, and it's not.

Just put it in your bag.

Jo, we're all here for you,
all right?

Hey. Hey.

You can use it for flights
or lawyer's fees.

Or you could just pay someone to
dig a tunnel out of the prison.

We don't care what people say, OK?

We're here for you -
whatever you need.

That is so kind. Thank you.

Love you. Thank you.
OK, let's get you drunk.

I'm gonna pay. Break it up.

Vodka and tonic, please.

Uh, two Chardonnays - large -
and a red wine and Coke.

Classy.

Calimocho, they call that in Spain.
Oh.

And Jesus juice in Argentina.

Well, I'd call that sacrilege.

Yeah, it's for my friend.

I'm sure it is.

Ah... this keeps happening.

What does?

Men talking to you in bars?
Well, I'm not surprised.

No.

No. The next thing
you're going to say is that

you know me from somewhere.

But trust me, you don't.

You've just seen me on TV
or the paper.

Oh, sh*t, are you famous, then?

No, I was... I was on the news.

And now people like you
keep staring at me.

Wow.

Well, "staring" makes me sound
like I'm some kind of stalker.

How would you describe it, then?

It's Friday night.

You know, we're in a bar.

You're a journalist, aren't you?

Look, I'm not a journalist,
all right?

And I haven't seen you on the news.

I just wanted to buy you a drink.

Just tap there when you're ready.

Look, you've missed your chance.

Well, look, I had my work ready,

and then you said
"red wine and coke"

and it threw me off my stride.

It's a calimocho, remember,
if you want to sound classy. Ah, OK.

Oh, finally! Sorry!

Who was that?
Ugh, I dunno. Some weirdo.

Yeah, he don't look like a weirdo.

I think he's just a journalist
fishing around for another story.

Oh, my God, you sound paranoid.
You're allowed to have some fun.

Don't be a martyr. Come on.
Yeah, I want to boogie.

Come on. Are you coming?
Yeah, course I am!

You.

What are you doing...?

f*ck off me!

You...

..we need to talk about your son.

He doesn't look like a k*ller.

He's innocent.

That's a shame.



It's better to be a k*ller in there.

Is... Is that live?

We've got her now. Show us the shiv.

What's that?

What's...

What's he doing?

Is this you?

Stop.

Jo, I work for an organisation
who know all about you,

and they know all about Sonny.

As you can see, we have people
in Sofia West Prison.

And unless you do exactly
what we tell you to do,

then they'll k*ll your son.

In five days' time,
you fly to Istanbul.

When you arrive, I'll meet you

at your hotel with three kilos
of heroin.

You're gonna bring that back on
your flight with you. No, I can't...

You're a senior member
of cabin crew.

It's one of your usual routes,

so you won't be suspected
and you won't be stopped.

Now, there are options
that will inevitably

go through your mind -
ways out of this.

Let me just dismantle those for you.

If you refuse our proposal,
we'll k*ll your son.

If you go to the police,
we'll k*ll your son.

If you talk to a lawyer, your boss,
a friend, we'll k*ll your son.

If you run away,
you flee the country,

you go into hiding, Jo -

if you do anything other
than exactly what we tell you to do,

we'll k*ll your son.

Now, do you understand
what you have to do?

Please, can you tell him to get away
from my son?

There are a number of ways that
you can look at this, all right?

This is the one
that I would recommend.

Right now, Sonny is on his own,
surrounded by serial K*llers,

rapists, unholy scum.

But if you do exactly
what we tell you to do,

then Sonny will be protected.

Dom...

It's 3 o'clock in
the morning. Dom, listen, I'm sorry.

There's someone... Keep it down.
Melanie's sleeping.

Can you stay on the line, though?

Are you OK?

You don't have to hang up.
You don't have to say anything.

Just, please, just stay with me. Jo?

Jo, are you still there?

What's going on, Jo?

Just stay there.

I don't get this. Are you OK?

Jo! Um...

Yeah, I couldn't sleep, and, uh,
I just thought I heard a noise,

but it's...
I don't think it's anything.

Look, we said we wouldn't do this.

It's not fair on anyone. Yeah.

What are you talking about?

Mum, I've got one minute left.

I've... I've got to go. One minute?!

Well, what else are you doing?!
There's a queue.

There's always a queue!
Listen, I'm coming to visit. Today?

Yes. I just want to make sure you're
being careful. Mum, I've got to...

Stop talking, Sonny,
and listen to me.

You don't trust anyone in there, OK?

Stay close to the guards,
and if anyone attacks you,

you need to scream.

You scream your lungs out.

And I love you.

I love you, Sonny. Mum, I can't.

Yeah, I know.

Of course you can't say it back,
but...

They're waiting.
OK, but I'm coming now, Sonny.

And you just need to remember
everything that I've said,

and I'm gonna see...

What happened?

If somebody attacks you, just scream,

act crazy, make them think
you're a psycho.

I want to say I'm sorry.

I haven't said I'm sorry for leaving
and for going to live with Dad.

Oh, no. No, no, no,
that was my fault.

I... I did know he was back,
and I didn't want him in your life,

but I should not have lied to you.

Yeah, well, I get why you did.

Does he even care that I'm in here?

I should have tried harder.

I should have persuaded you
not to leave.

I'm a f*cking nightmare.

You're probably ready
to give up on me.

No, come on,
you know that's not true.

I promise, OK?

It will be different once
I'm out of here, I promise.

Yes, yes. And Rali says
that we should have

an appeal hearing in four months.

Four months?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm...

I'm trying...
I'm trying to be positive.

It's... God, no, just tell me.

You just have to get me out of here,
Mum, OK? Please.

Get them to get me out of here.



..850.

Oh, thanks, Rali.

Look, the prosecution
witnesses are definitely lying.

They say one thing to the police,

but then, here,
they say another thing in the court.

The differences are really small,
but... even so.

Have you ever thought of law school?
You'd be a star.

We should swap jobs.

Free flights, five-star hotels -
sounds good to me.

But I wouldn't have patience with
all those arseholes in first class.

I'd poison their food.

Sonny's been threatened.

He told me that Sofia runs on bribes.

Um...

..can you get him moved to
another wing in prison?

And it needs to be done by tomorrow.

The day after, at the very latest.

You want me to bribe the governor?

If the prosecution finds out,
it won't look good.

I know.

I know.

But you can speak
to the right people, yeah?

I can try.

Thank you.

And it's £5,000.
Is that gonna be enough?

Double it.

Then we have a chance.

We told you not to see your lawyer.

But I didn't tell her anything.

And, you see,
I already had an appointment,

so it would have looked strange
if I'd cancelled.

And you went to visit Sonny.

Yeah, because you didn't say
that I couldn't.

How is he?

He's all right.

A few bumps and bruises?

The people I work for
will stop at nothing.

You need to prepare yourself,
all right?

This isn't going to go away.

Tell me what I need to do.

Now you strike with your whole body,
yeah?

Not just your hand,
not just your arm, right?

You put your whole body into
the strike, and you twist.

Got it? All right, pair up.

Now, remember, yeah,
if you can run, leg it.

Three months of silence...

..and then you call
in the middle of the night.

Yeah, I know. I'm sorry.

I get it if you're pissed off.

It's OK. I'm not.

I called you after the verdict.

I left messages.

Why didn't you reply?

Uh...

..just because we agreed.

What's changed?

Sonny's in trouble.

Some inmates... they've beaten him up.

Is he OK? Well, he's putting on
a brave face, but,

no, he's terrified.

He's terrified. Yeah.

And I am too.

So I need some money
to get him moved, right?

Well, you got the cheque
from the staff?

Yeah.

Yeah, I need more than that.

I need five grand more.

For what?

A bribe?

I know this is a lot to ask of you.

Is that what you're doing?

Asking ME?

I've got no one else.

Me and Mel, it just...

..hasn't been easy
since I went back.

If she found out I was even...

Yeah, no, I get it.

I do.

Hey.

It's all right, I've got it.

Go back to sleep.

Hey, hey.

It's OK.

It was just a bad dream.

Shh.

Hi, Rali.

Hi. I've arranged
a meeting with the prison governor.

He's corrupt, so I'm hopeful.

Check your messages when you land.

You have one new message.

Jo, it's Rali.
I've talked to the governor.

He's going to confirm
with me tonight.

I'll call you as soon as I know.

Hiya. Hey.

The f*cking little zoomers
don't think we can last the pace.

Are you bailing?

I am. I've got to call Sonny.

If you can forget about Sonny
for a night,

I won't mention sperm count,
IVF, or blocked fallopian tubes.

Please.

Please, Jo, please.
Come on a night out.

It'll do us good,
even if it is just next door.

Please, please.
I'm gonna see you there later.

All right.

But you'll be playing catch-up.
Sure. All right?

Don't be long. Sure.
And don't be boring.

Is anyone sitting here?

You need a drink -
settle your nerves.

Calimocho?

A vodka - straight.

Can I get two vodkas on the rocks,
please? Of course.

What's the story, then,
if someone's watching?

Story? I'm a stranger.

I offered to buy you a drink.

You're attracted to me, obviously.

I'm bored, you're lonely,
I take pity on you.

And then I win you over.
I leave after one drink.

Right, as long as we're on
the same page. Thank you.

Cheers.

Look, you're terrified -
I understand that.

Do you know what happens to me
if I get caught?

If the Turkish police catch you,

you'll get 20 years
in a medieval prison - maybe more.

But I work
for some f*cking scary people, Jo.

And they don't deal in maybes,
all right?

You think that you're gonna get out
of this, don't you?

My bosses are ruthless people.

They don't like being messed
around.

I've done everything you asked.

You gave ten grand to your lawyer
to bribe the governor.

Mm-hm.

Well, we gave her


She wouldn't do that.

Oh, we didn't give her a choice,
Jo.

And my bosses have given
instructions

to k*ll your boy, Sonny.

I told them that you were scared...

..that you deserve one last chance.

I need you to understand, all right?

You're expendable.

Sonny is expendable.

I'm f*cking expendable.

So no more mistakes, all right?

We have to get this right. Mm-hm.

All right? Mm-hm.

Do you remember what I told you?

You pack the bags tight.

Um...

..yes, so they don't show up on
the X-ray. Yeah.

And what about the sniffer dogs?

Um, I'm going to cover
the bags with hair conditioner

so that it disguises the scent.

Mm-hm. Good.

Dominic Delaney.

Yeah, he's a customs officer, and
you've been meeting up with him.

Yeah, because he's a friend.

Well, now he's a f*cking risk.

All I told him was
that Sonny was being threatened.

And that's why he gave me
that money to bribe the governor.

Well, that is some friend, isn't
it?

He's more than that, Jo. No, he was.

He's married, isn't he?

He was separated
when we were together.

She cheated on him.

And now?

Well, he went back to her.
They've got kids.

Right. He left you?

He's a really, really good person.
He did the right thing.

You don't need to worry about him.

People look at you
and they don't see a drugs mule.

They see someone
just doing their job.

Drug mules, they look a little
desperate and they look guilty.

They travel too often
and they travel too light.

That's why they get caught.

But you've just got to pretend
that this is another day.

It's just another job.

You're the last person
that anyone is gonna suspect.

That's why you're not going
to get caught.

Jo.

Jo.

First class has been called.

You'll be demoted to coach roach.

I'll just tuck that in.

Did you get dressed in the dark?

Come here.

Lovely. I've got your back.

Thank you.

Excuse me, madam.

Thank you.

Dom, we've had a tip-off.

Someone in cabin crew.
Yeah? Which flight?

Istanbul - gets in at 6:00.

Ladies and gentlemen,
this is your captain speaking.

We'll shortly be starting
our descent to London.

Thank you for choosing to fly
with us, and have a safe journey.

Passport, please.

Thank you.

Next, please.

I'm f*cking hanging.

I'm requesting Utah
for my next flight.

Dry state, mountain air,
f*ck all to do.

You know I was drinking
sophisticated c*ck, as well?

If you've nicked any miniatures,
then ditch them.

Customs are doing
random spot checks.

Please go through there.

Put your bag on the table.

Oh, f*ck, I've got too many f*gs
with me.

Just watch my bag.

I'm gonna stash them in the toilet.

I just need to go this way, please.

We're checking bags.

Go this way, please.

It's all right, I've got this one.

Jo.

Can you step this way, please?

I'm just going to check
your bags. Step through this way.

Check your bags, please.

Thank you.

Zara... just wait.

Hey.

That's my bag.

We took each other's bags.

What?! Yeah, your sunnies
are in the front.

Look. Oh, f*ck, what are we like?

I know!

I know. So, um...

..about last night.

What you saw.

Me and Rajeev. Oh!

No? No.

Girls on tour.

Yeah, exactly.

I owe you one.

Zara...
I know, I'm a terrible person.

Don't call me.
I'm going to sleep for days.

Love you!

Pour me one of those, would you?

I knew you'd do it.

They checked cabin crew.

They never check cabin crew.

Do you think someone knew?

Dominic, maybe? No.

He let me through.

You haven't told anyone,
have you, Jo?

No.

Have you, Jo? No.

Well, you didn't let it phase you.

You've got guts.

You fly to Bangkok next week.

Same deal.

Yeah, no, I can't...
I can't explain it.

Just this past week or so,
things really haven't been as bad.

I've been, um...

I've been playing cards with

a few inmates who want to
practice their English, so...

Oh, good. That's great, darling.

Yeah.

They've, um... They've been
looking out for me, so...

Good.

I'm so pleased.

And, listen, has Rali
been in touch with you?

No, they... They got a new lawyer.

I guess they must have
had their reasons.

Yeah.

It's a shame.
I actually quite liked her.

Yeah, me too.

What's happened? Is Sonny OK?

I, um...

Whatever is...

..you can talk to me.

I need your help.
