01x04 - Episode 4

Post by bunniefuu »

He will k*ll you if he finds you.

If she gets to the police, who do

you think's going down for Annika?

Me?

My friend Elias

is closing a job today.

George is handing over the keys.

We can catch him in the act.

We're flying home now. Emma!

Can I help you?

Let's see, shall we?

It wasn't Claire and Elias

in the villa.

It was another couple.

You want proof, huh? There's,

like, hundreds of files there.

Like, contracts, letters.

That's my money.

Have you backed this up?

I copied it to this,

and I hid the memory stick.

I'll tether it to my phone.

Argh!

You've got no idea what's

really going on here, have you?

What have I done?

Emma?

Excuse me.

Yes, madam?

Um

I'm who you're looking for.

Did they explain to you

what will happen now?

When the detectives have completed

their investigations,

they will submit a file

to the Law Office of the Republic.

And they will decide

if you will go to trial

for the m*rder of George Beaufort.

He had just k*lled Niko.

He was about to k*ll me.

That's not m*rder, is it?

It's self-defence.

You accused both of these men

of taking your money.

A lot of money.

The Law Office may not be satisfied

that you acted solely

in fear of your life.

Emma

If there is something

you want to tell me

about what happened at that farm

that you may not have mentioned

so far,

you should do it now.

So, now you're ready

to listen to me.

I told you

that George was a m*rder*r.

Niko would be alive today

if you had listened to me.

You mourn a man

who stole all your money?

He didn't deserve to die.

You're quite something, Emma.

And you're right.

Maybe I didn't do my job.

Well, Annika is dead.

George k*lled her,

and her daughter deserves to know.

OK. Tell me everything you know

about Annika.

I think I know where she is.

This way.

Emma!

We have to go.

The Chief Superintendent's

given me one hour.

You don't wanna know what

I had to promise him to get that.

Just give me ten seconds.

What are you doing here?

Are you all right?

They wouldn't let me see you.

You were meant to get on the plane.

Like I'd do that

and leave you here to rot.

What were you thinking?

Handing yourself in like that.

All this is my fault.

What?

You'd go to jail for me?

If necessary, yeah.

Emma

I don't think it'll come to that.

Emma. We have to go now.

Please do what I say for once.

Keep your mouth shut, and

I've got this covered.

OK. Let's go.

Niko's house was the second time

that George pointed a g*n at me.

But I remember

what he said the first time.

"You and Annika

"can spend eternity together."

So?

Given the discovery

of Annika Larsson's remains,

the Law Office are satisfied

that you acted

in genuine fear of your life

when faced with a man

you knew to be a m*rder*r.

And the Attorney-General

has instructed

that your case

will not be brought to trial.

They've dropped the charges.

You're free to go home.

Still no sign of the money, though.

Looks like Beaufort

knew what he was doing

when it came to money laundering.

Have you found the memory stick?

Not yet, but I'll make sure

they keep looking.

I really am sorry, Emma,

for making you fight that man alone.

I hope you can move on from this.

Be happy.

Thank God!

Told you I had it covered.

Oh Oh, come on.

'I just wanted to say thank you

for finding my mother.'

Just, erm

arranging to come to Cyprus

to collect her body.

Freja, I am so sorry.

At least now I know

she didn't leave me.

Of course she didn't leave you.

She had your ultrasound in her bag.

'She loved you and baby Oscar.'

Thank you, Ms Walker.

Take care, love.

That could have been Susie

if it wasn't for you. Come here.

No, it's over.

What you did for me,

taking the blame like that

it made me realise a few things.

Yeah? Like what?

That I'm an idiot.

I think in the idiot competition,

I'm the clear winner.

Maybe. I'm a strong second.

I wanted to give the house away

on a business that was

already dead in the water.

No, let me.

I kept thinking

the next deal would come good.

And it's true.

I let Susie blame you.

I blamed you.

But losing everything

losing you

taught me a lesson.

So I've had to start again.

And I'm doing it right this time.

Proper business plan.

The right partners.

And now, finally,

it's coming good.

Because of you.

But I messed everything up.

I lost Susie's money.

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

No, no.

No, it's not that. It's just

How can you possibly

want to kiss me?

After everything I did?

You might be an idiot

but you're MY idiot.

And I'm yours.

I know there's a lot of water

under the bridge,

and who knows what Susie would say,

but

For you.

Thank you.

What's this?

Haven't a clue!

What the hell?

Why would somebody do that?

Niko said that George

has lots of dangerous mates.

I think this is a warning.

I'm getting you home. Right now.

I love you.

I love you too.

Niko!

225,000 euros.

I can't, I can't!

You piss-weak b*stard!

There's no way out!

Get out!

That's my money.

You've got no idea what's

really going on here, have you?

I love you, Emma.

Come here.

You're OK.

Yeah.

You're home.

You're safe, OK?

Yeah, I know.

I just keep thinking

that this whole thing isn't over.

You're still not quite yourself.

The doctor said

it would take a while

for them pills to kick in,

didn't he?

Yeah. Yeah.

Just give it time.

Hey Did we show you the pictures

from yesterday?

No, no.

Kitchen units going in today.

Another few weeks,

we'll be able to move in.

I can't wait.

You did tell Idi you need to finish

work early tomorrow night, right?

Yeah.

But please tell me

where we're going.

Absolutely not.

It's a surprise.

A taxi'll pick you up here

at half past five.

It's all paid for,

so you don't need any money.

I love you.

I love you too.

Listen

If anything was gonna happen,

it would have happened by now. OK?

They can't touch you

now you're here with me.

Yeah.

Hello?

'Taxi. I'm outside.'

Yeah, I'll be there in a sec.

Hiya.

'..in this day

and age, what's wrong with that?'

'Are you

trying to open the door for her?'

Can you, erm, tell me

where we're going, please?

'There was no agenda, I promise you.

I was just being a gent.

'I wanna get some calls on this.'

'You know, us women

can open the door for ourselves,

'thanks very much.'

'In that case, where do you feel

that the chivalry has gone?

'Can we not do anything for you?

Is this equality'

Pete. I'm in the taxi,

but the driver won't tell me

where we're going.

So could you call me back, please?

'..feminism is about equality.

'Do you not wanna be treated nice

by a man?'

'Course I wanna be treated nice.

'But it's the theory

that I can open the door myself

'and I can do jobs in the house

myself'

Can you tell me where we're going,

please?

Erm, I-I think I'd like to stop now.

Wherever you can.

There you are!

For God's sake, Pete,

what's going on? What's wrong?

Well, h-he wouldn't tell me

where we were going.

And then

you wouldn't answer your phone.

I told him not to say anything

to keep it a surprise!

To keep what a surprise?

Just tell me.

Come in and see.

Susie!

Dad! The canapes

are almost gone already.

There's loads! We'll be fine.

Hi.

Hi. Wh-What's happening?

Um Ta-da!

We open tomorrow!

But how on Earth did you?

Dad?

Well, the new business is flying.

I was able to be a guarantor

on a bigger loan.

Oh. How long have you been

cooking this up for?

Don't you like it?

Yeah, it's amazing.

But we said no more secrets.

It's not a secret.

It's a surprise!

What's the problem?

No, nothing. Nothing.

Dad, I told you she'd do this.

Susie, you should mingle.

It's your big night.

OK.

Why didn't you tell me?

We both thought

it might embarrass you.

After everything that happened.

Pete.

You can't just do things like that

to me.

You're overwrought,

overthinking things.

You act like

nothing has ever happened.

What good does it do?

Focus on the here and now.

On the future.

We're building this house together.

Look, I messed up, and I'm sorry.

But I have got another surprise.

I-It's not a surprise.

It's just dinner

at the new house after this.

You can see how much we've done.

Now, shall we just

enjoy Susie's big moment?

Yeah?

Go and tell her how great she is.

Susie.

This looks amazing, and I'm

..I'm so proud of you.

Well, I'm sorry

that we didn't tell you.

Well, I think I

lost the right to complain

about you two ganging up on me

when I, erm, did what I did.

Mum, you're not gonna

mess it up again with Dad, right?

He is really happy.

And I just

I don't wanna see him upset again.

Course not, love.

You don't worry about us.

OK.

Oh, wow!

It looks like a different place

than before.

Yeah. Still loads to do.

Oh

Just hang on.

What's all this?

It's our six-month anniversary.

You soppy git!

Yeah.

I've got posh picky bits

in the car for dinner.

You make yourself at home.

OK.

Christina?

Emma. I have news at last.

You know the USB we never found?

Yeah.

'It turned up on my desk.'

They got in Niko's place,

and they're turning it into

a holiday let.

And they found it

in a box in the roof space.

And? 'It makes for

some interesting reading.'

From what you told me,

Niko said they choose their victims

when they arrived in the resort.

Well, that's what he told me.

Ah.

With you, it was different.

They knew all about you

before you even came to Cyprus.

What do you mean?

'Someone gave George information.'

Where you were staying,

what you were bringing with you.

Even which book you'd be reading.

'Wuthering Heights.

They were hired, Emma.'

Someone hired them to target you,

to take your money.

'Well, that doesn't make any sense.'

We knew your money

left a separate bank account

a few days after it was paid in.

'We thought George had hidden it.

'Now I think

it went to whoever hired him.'

Yeah, but you've never

been able to trace it.

Until now.

'The names of George's

shell companies were on the USB.'

The money pinged around

various tax havens, but

we found where it ended up.

A company called

Pi Omega Building Supplies.

Say that again.

Pi Omega Building Supplies.

'We're working to trace

the beneficial owners, but'

Emma

I wondered, do you have any ideas?

'Emma?

'Emma?

'Emma, are you OK?

Do you know who that might be?'

Here we go, love. Ah.

Ooh, it's smelling nice.

Ah.

So, remind me,

this new business of yours.

How did you manage, you know,

to get all this?

I've told you this.

One of my contacts from before

in the construction company,

he imports cement from Cyprus.

He was going from strength

to strength,

so he decided to open his own plant.

One day, he asked me if I wanted

to come in on it with him.

It's all just snowballed from there.

Why?

Just curious.

Yeah.

Is there something wrong

with the food?

It's all a bit recent, isn't it?

Yeah, but it's all on the level,

I promise.

Nothing like before.

This is my fault.

The whole surprise thing tonight,

it spooked you.

I should have thought.

No, that doesn't matter.

I'm glad you made it happen for her.

It's no use.

I was gonna wait till after pudding.

But, uh,

I just can't think straight.

Emma Walters

will you do me the honour

of remarrying me?

What?

We both lost our way before,

and I thought being by myself

would be better, but I wasn't.

It was sh*t. I missed you.

I missed you all the time.

And what we did for each other

back there in Cyprus,

when our backs

were really up against the wall.

It proves we belong together.

I don't want to lose you again.

Wow.

Argh!

What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with me?!

I know! Pi Omega Building Supplies.

You! The whole thing was you!

You knew the dates.

You knew the hotel.

You even knew that I'd bought

bloody Wuthering Heights.

It couldn't have been anyone

but you!

I think we need to talk

to the doctor about your dosage.

Maybe this was all a bit too soon.

What is this, some sick joke?

You take my money,

and then you propose?

I thought we were over

all this kind of thing.

Oh, yeah. I'm crazy, aren't I? Yeah.

Crazy old Emma, crazy old mum.

Well, I'm not crazy.

Not this time.

Cos Christina has found

the memory stick. It's all there.

Exactly what you did!

She's got to be making it up.

You know the police out there

are all dodgy.

You think after all these years,

I don't know when you're lying

to my face?!

All this, this investment,

it was my money!

Except

..it wasn't your money, was it,

sweetheart?

It was mine.

I did all the work,

and you walked away with all of it.

You failed over and over again,

and I picked up the pieces.

I paid the mortgage.

I talked to the bank

when you'd spent the mortgage.

I paid off the bailiffs.

And I never let Susie see a thing

because I wanted you to be her hero.

And I stopped you losing money to

that bottomless pit of a disaster

of a business of yours.

I worked my fingers to the bone

to protect that money.

And you?

You stole it from our daughter!

She got her money from me!

From her dad!

Like she was supposed to!

Look

..it was a once-in-a-lifetime

opportunity to invest,

to buy a stake in a new plant.

Cement prices were going through

the roof. It was a no-brainer.

I just needed to seed money.

So you paid someone

to rip off your wife?

Ex-wife.

It was George's idea.

He was drinking buddies

with my business partner.

I didn't take him seriously,

but he said it was worth the shot.

I didn't actually think

you'd fall for it.

We've always loved a romance.

And look it worked.

It's rolling in.

We've done it.

Pete, people have died.

You k*lled a man.

Only cos you kept f*cking things up!

You nearly scuppered the whole deal!

This business part

this mate, whatever,

was he one of George's

dangerous friends?

Did he Did he send me the b*llet?

Oh.

Was that you, too?

To scare me into shutting up.

If only it had worked.

You led me to believe

that there was someone after me.

I've been terrified for months.

You must really hate me.

I mean deeply, deeply despise me.

So

So, what's going on here then, aye?

What's going on?

Why rescue me?

Why bloody propose?

Who else would go to prison for me?

I meant what I said.

You and me, it's fate or destiny,

or whatever bollocks

you wanna call it.

All of this was a test.

And we passed it. We're still here.

We can move on from this.

We can be together,

like we're meant to be.

You sad, stupid little man.

When Susie looked at me tonight,

it was like she couldn't stand me.

You did that? Not just tonight.

Not just about the money,

but every time I covered for you.

When I told her

..she couldn't have the doll

or the bloody trainers she wanted

cos, yeah, I was just being mean.

And it was nothing to do

with the fact that you'd spaffed

the housekeeping money

on some stupid pipe dream again!

Every time I cried, I just pretended

I was some stupid little woman.

But it was YOU.

You that made me cry over and over

and over again!

Well, I think it's time

that Susie knew the truth.

I think she needs to know

exactly who her father is.

You're not telling Susie anything.

Come 'ere!

Get off!

Aah.

Aah.

God.

Emma?

Sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Emma?

Emma?!

'Hello, emergency.

What service do you require?'

'Hello? Do you need help?'

'Hello. You are connected

to the emergency service.'

f*ck!

Wake up, Emma.

Please.

Just Just wake up.

Why did you have to make me do that?

What am I gonna do, love?

Jesus Christ.

sh*t.

Thank God, Em!

I thought you were a gonna!

It was an accident, love!

Just come out!

We can talk.

Please come out, sweetheart.

This isn't us is it?

Please. Hurry.

It's all gone wrong.

We can still find a way back.

Come on, love.

Just give me one last chance.

OK, then.

I'll give you one last chance.

I've called the police,

and they'll be here any minute.

I want you to tell them

what you've done,

and I want you to take

the consequences.

And then maybe one day,

you'll have some sort of life.

Do it for Susie.

Do it for yourself, Pete.

Please.

Please, just

just let me go.

There's nowhere to go.

This is the end.

For both of us.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Pete.

What have you done?

Oh, God.

It's OK.

It's OK.

It's over now.

It's over now.

Oh.

You stupid man.

Hm.

Hey.

Hi.

Hi.

What are you doing here

sat on your own, eh?

Oh. I'm dreaming.

This would be a great spot

for a bar.

Yeah?

Mm.

Are you sure it's a good idea

to come live 'ere?

You've seen how people look at me

at home, Susie.

With pity.

I just can't do that.

Here, I can

..I can be anything I want to be.

You'd just be so far away.

Well, at least you get

your spare room back.

Mum, we already lost

so much time.

I need to figure out how to be me,

Susie. Just me.

And then, we will have

all the time in the world.

Are you gonna get yourself

into trouble again?

Probably.

Come here.

Oh
