02x07 - This Mad Circus

[bunniefuu]

[operatic aria plays]

Bravo!

[music fades]

Welcome home, Your Ladyship.
How was the wedding?

[Sabrina] Oh, fantabuloso.

The lake, the church,
the bride, bellissima.

And now the happy couple
is off on honeymoon.

[Mr. Lawrence] I'm very glad to hear it.

I hope your journey home
wasn't too difficult.

Master Tarquin didn't like the aeroplanes.

Screamed his lungs out the whole way home.

-Well, he's literally just nodded off.
-[Geoff] Great.

We're going to have to extract him
from the vehicle.

A delicate procedure
that requires total silence.

Ah, the joy and bliss
of being a grandparent.

[Mr. Lawrence] I took the liberty
of preparing you a light dinner.

Just some vichyssoise and cold cuts,

as the chef and the rest of the staff
are off until tomorrow.

Vichyssoise. What a homecoming.

[lightly tense music plays]

Okay. Sh, sh, sh, sh, sh.

Sh, sh, sh, sh, sh.

[Sabrina] Geoff, join me
for some cold cuts.

[music fades]

[Geoff] I presume His Grace
and the new Lady Halstead

will base themselves here
when they get back from the honeymoon?

That's the plan.

And of course, it'll mean I'll have
to find alternative arrangements.

Why? There's 40 rooms here.
It's not exactly crowded.

No new bride wants
her mother-in-law rattling about

like the Ghost of Christmas Past.
[chuckles]

Where will you go?

The dower house.

I mean, of course,
it does need a lick of paint,

but I've always found it rather cozy.

Yeah, I've always been fond of that place.

Yes. I remember.

It's not very far from you.

Yeah, it's about a five-minute walk.

There's a family of badgers
moved in there. In the back garden.

[Sabrina] Mm.

[Geoff] Lively bunch.

They do like a party
on a warm summer's evening.

[Sabrina chuckles]

[Sabrina] Well…

[gentle classical music plays]

…I think that we could
live together very harmoniously.

Me and the badgers.

[Sabrina exhales]

[music fades]

Hello, darling.

[Nanny] Mission partially accomplished.
Left the little fellow in his car seat.

[Charly] We should be able
to move him in an hour.

With any luck,
he'll sleep till tomorrow lunchtime.

[Sabrina] Oh my God,
that sounds like heaven.

I'm going to follow suit.
I'm completely cream-crackered.

[Charly] Mm.

You must be as well, Geoffrey.
Don't let us keep you.

Unless there was something else?

No. No, all good. I'll be on my way.

No, Geoff. You don't have to leave
right this minute.

It's getting late.

Ladies.

-[Nanny] Thank you for your help, Geoff.
-[Charly] Night, Geoff.

Did I say something wrong?

[somber music plays]

[sheep bleat]

Come on, Betsy.

What are you doing out?

Who's left the gate open, eh?

Come on, let's get you back in.

[music stops]

-[dog whines]
-[door closes]

-[piglet squeals]
-Come on.

-[dog barks]
-All right, calm down.

[dog whines]

Decided to come back, then?

[Geoff] Looks like it.

-[bird squawks]
-[dog barks]

All right, you lot, quieten down.

Hope they weren't too much trouble.

Relatively good-natured most of the time,
apart from your man over there.

Gave me a right old growl when I made
the mistake of sitting in your chair.

[Geoff] He's a big old softie
at heart, really.

Until you give him the command,
and then it's good night Vienna.

-[man chuckles]
-[Geoff] Come, Winston. Give us a cuddle.

Right old sulk.

Give him a couple of days,
he'll be all right.

[exhales]

Seen half a dozen sheep
walking down the lane.

Thought you was looking after the animals.

I was.

The gate was wide open, George.

[George] I hope you don't think
it was me who left it open.

Be one of His Lordship's servants.

[George] No.

They had the week off.

-You mind how you go, George.
-[George] Oh, don't you worry about me.

I'll have another look
for that vixen for you on my way home,

and I'll keep my eye out for any other
gates that might've been left open.

[ominous music plays]

[music fades]

[Nanny] Are you cross?

-Is it because of Geoff?
-[Charly huffs] Maybe, yes.

I just think
you were a bit brusque with him.

Brusque?

[Charly] Yeah, you know,

curt, dismissive.

He's a member of staff, darling.
I was dismissing him.

Geoff is more than a member of staff.

Is he a part of the criminal conspiracy?

-No.
-[Nanny] Well… what, then?

Well,

he is primarily employed
as the gamekeeper,

but he does… help my brother out
from time to time.

Ah, look at this.

Damn thing's on the blink again.

Let me see.

[Nanny] Well, I am going to scuttle off
to do my exercises.

I might try
to transfer Mr. T into his cot.

No. Just leave it. I'll do it later.

Oh my goodness. Come on, come on.

[door creaks]

Oh, Nanny.

Do you know, we have
absolutely no reception whatsoever.

[Nanny] Checked the billiard room?

I even checked the rose garden,

which can be relied on
when all else fails.

-Not a sausage.
-[Nanny] Anything urgent?

Oh, I just wanted
to get hold of Eddie and Bella

to see that they'd arrived at the villa.

-Maybe they turned their phones off.
-[Sabrina] Can you have a look?

I mean, I don't know about these things,
but I think that it's us, not them.

[tense music plays]

[labored breathing]

-[leaves rustle]
-[bird chirps]

[fox shrieks]

[fox shrieks]

There you are, my beauty.

[fox howls]

[fox shrieks]

[car door closes]

-[walkie-talkie static crackles]
-[George] George to Geoff.

Geoff, come in.

[music fades]

Did you bag that bushy tail
for me already, then, George?

[George] Well, I had it in my sights
when it scarpered.

Scared off by a couple of vehicles
parked down by the boundary stone.

I reckon they're responsible
for the mystery of the open gate.

[Geoff] How many of 'em?

Well, I only see one at the minute,
but there's a couple of vehicles,

so his mates might have
wandered off somewhere.

What do you reckon? Poachers, or…

[Geoff] No.

Wrong time of the year.

Not much meat on them partridges.

Maybe travellers?

[George] No, I don't think so.
They're pretty geared up for travellers.

Keep an eye on them for me, will you?

[George] Right you are, Geoff.

Gonna come down
and take a look with me or what?

No, I'm gonna head up to the house.

[Geoff] Right you are.

[suspenseful music plays]

[music fades]

[Nanny] Back again so soon, Geoffrey?

Yeah, just checking everyone's okay.

Everyone is fine as far as I'm aware.

Good heavens, Geoff.
What on earth is going on?

We spotted a couple of vehicles
by the woods,

and the mobile network's gone out.

It just all seems a bit odd.

Where are you going?

Upstairs.

[Nanny] It's the middle of the night.

Yeah, I'm aware of that.

You can speak to me frankly, Geoff.
I'm aware of what goes on in this house.

I'm not a total fool, and Eddie is not
as discreet as he presumes.

Are you sure you're not overreacting?

There are no drugs on these premises,
and Eddie's on honeymoon.

You wanna follow me?

[tense music plays]

[man 1] Clear your areas. No noise.
Anyone steps up, drop 'em.

As soon as we acquire the basket,

we are out.

[Nanny] Geoff, you need to tell me
what's happening.

Are you properly trained?

Before working for His Majesty,

I completed two operational deployments
with the chaps from Hereford.

Okay. Take this.

Go and get Charlotte and Tarquin.
I'll get Lady Sabrina.

Take them through the staff wing.
We'll get out in the Land Rover.

I've modified it for Eddie.
It's bulletproof. It's like a tank.

-Copy.
-[Geoff] Don't stop to fight. Just run.

Let's do it.

[man 2] Bronsky breaching now.

[music fades]

[gasps]

Sh.

We have armed gunmen in the house.
Dressing gown, slippers, let's go.

[tense music plays]

Who are they though?

We don't know, darling.
We just need to leave.

Go!

Turn on the shower.

[shower runs]

[tense music builds]

[man 2 grunts]

[music fades]

[Sabrina breathes heavily]

[knife slices]

[tense music plays]

[body thuds]

[earpiece squeaks]

[man 1] Sound off
once the top floor's clean.

When you have the basket,
give me two clicks.

-[Geoff] Are you okay?
-Yes.

[man 3] East wing is cleared.
Pushing south to the ground floor.

[man 1] Copy that, Zammo.
Bronsky, what is your sitrep?

We gotta go.

[music fades]

-Sh.
-[Tarquin murmurs]

-[Charly] Sh, sh. Sh, sh, sh, sh, sh.
-[footsteps approach]

[man 1] Come in, Yuri. Copy?

Go for Yuri.

[man 1] Bronsky's gone dark. Loop back
and see if you can get eyes on him.

[Yuri] Moving.

Bronsky's gone dark. We're looping back.
Everybody, eyes open.

[exhales]

[tense music plays]

[Charly whispers] They must be here
for Eddie, not us.

What if we just made a run for it?

[Nanny] We need to choose our moment.

What if we created the moment ourselves?

[keys jangle]

Wait.

-[man] Psst!
-[gasps]

[gasps] Mr. Lawrence!

[Zammo] Run another sweep
of the first floor.

[Geoff] Get down!

[man 4] First floor's clear.

It's a ghost town.

[man 1] Target may be spooked
and doing a back door shuffle.

And somebody get eyes on Bronsky,
for f*ck's sake!

-[man 4] Yes, boss.
-This is Tin Tin.

There's nothing out here.
It's all clear. Over.

[car beeps]

[music fades]

[body thuds]

[tense music plays]

[man 1] Who went loud?
All leaders, report now.

Zammo, negative.

Jay, negative.

[man 1] Be aware. We're rumbled.

Bunny, take the boys' left flank
from the side entrance

and smash any hostiles
in the direction of fire.

[Sabrina] Are you all right?

Oh, I'm so sorry. I… I'm so scared.

-[speaks French]
-No, no, no.

-[speaks French]
-Sh, sh, sh.

[car door opens]

-[man 1] Contact in foyer!
-This way!

Follow me!

[Mr. Lawrence yelps]

[g*nf*re continues]

sh*t!

We can't just leave Mummy and Geoff.

Get behind the wheel.
Keep the doors locked.

The car's armored,
but do not take chances.

-If anyone comes, drive.
-Okay!

[g*nf*re continues]

[dramatic music plays]

[Mr. Lawrence speaks French]

[music stops]

-[man 4] Get down. Down on the floor.
-The Duke of Halstead, he's not here.

-He's on his honeymoon.
-[man 4] I said get down!

-The Duke is not here.
-[man 4] Get down now!

[man 5] Clip him!

[Mr. Lawrence screams]

[dramatic music plays]

[Mr. Lawrence groans]

[g*nf*re continues]

Mummy! Mummy!

-Help! We need to get him in the car.
-Let's go! Move now! Move!

[Sabrina] Come on!

[engine roars]

[music fades]

Stop! Stop! Stop the car! Stop the car!

Where's Tarquin?

He was there. I left him right there.

I checked. I checked him
before I went out. Oh my God.

Oh my God. Oh my God, they've taken him.

They've taken him. They've taken him.

[somber music plays]

Mark's in the bag. Let's go.

Boss to John boy.
Returning to extract point.

ETA zero one three five.

[Charly] Oh my God.

[Charly hyperventilates]

George.

I need those vehicles taken out.
And the driver.

Are we talking six feet deep on that one?

We are, and I need it done swiftly, mate.

I'll remember this, George,
and I'll owe ya.

Right you are, Geoff.

Good man.

[Charly sobs]

[Geoff] Okay, this is what we're gonna do.

Charlotte, you're gonna
get in that Land Rover and drive.

Get as far away as possible.

-No, I can't leave.
-[Geoff] Listen to me!

The best thing you can do right now
is stay alive.

That's what you need to do
for Tarquin, okay?

[Nanny] Darling.

Geoff's right.

-We'll get him back safely.
-[Charly cries]

-[Geoff] Now!
-Come on, darling.

Let's go. Let's go, okay?

-[door opens]
-Do you know where they're going?

-[car door closes]
-They're going nowhere. Let's go.

[tense music plays]

[man 1] Let's get out of here.

All right, John?

John?

[music fades]

Get out of the vehicle.

[car door opens]

Go dark. Spread out.
Eyes up. Watch the tree line.

[Zammo] What the f*ck is this?

Come on, darling.
We… We really can't just sit here.

Let's go. Come on.

[exhales]

I can't.

I can't move. I can't leave him. I don't…

I don't know what to do.

Who would do this, Mummy? Who…

Who would steal my baby?

[Sabrina] I don't know, my darling.
It's beyond comprehension.

Listen to me.

Geoff is a very kind-hearted man,
isn't he, Charlotte?

But he also has a bit of history.

Geoff has spent the last 30 years
learning how to get rid of vermin.

Nobody wants to be in this situation,

but if anyone
can get us out of it, it's him.

He'll stop at nothing to make sure

that child is in your arms
as soon as is practically possible.

He constructs his own g*ns, Charlotte.
He even makes his own b*ll*ts.

This is his land,
his territory, his environment.

He is the man for the job.

So we can sit here, if you like,

but that's only because
we'll be that much closer

when Geoff brings Tarquin back to you.

-[engine revs]
-[Zammo] f*ck! f*ck!

[engine stalls]

That house was supposed to be cold.

Whoever ordered this job
sent us into a f*cking ambush!

And why are we taking a f*cking baby
in the first place?

Who the f*ck are we working for, huh?
Who would steal a baby?

You're getting paid well.

And your cut will be substantially bigger
given the situation we're in.

So I suggest you focus

and keep your eyes open to whoever it is
that's out there, understand?

[man 4] Boss, fuel pump's been disabled,
and injector coils are screwed.

This car's going nowhere.

[man 1] Check the other vehicle.

[man 4] Yes, boss.

I counted three of 'em,

and I think
there's one other out there somewhere.

Nanny, this is George.
He's next door's keeper.

That your boy they got in there, then?

Don't you worry about him.
He's gonna be just fine.

Can you see him?

No. It's too risky to take a shot
until we know where he is.

Go round the back, George.
See if you can get eyes on the boy.

Right you are, Geoff.

[man 4] They're both f*cked.

Which means we are.

-[door slams]
-[man 1] We're not f*cked.

Take point and recce the area
while I sort this out.

Jay, we need extract ASAP.
Find some wheels and collect us.

Boss, this is Jay. Copy that.

Oh my God.

[Sabrina] Oh God.

[Sabrina sighs]

[tense music plays]

[Jay] Boss. Found a car on the tree line.
Looks like it's got two in the front.

[man 1] You know what to do.
Anything to get those wheels.

[Jay] Understood, boss. Give me five.

What is it, Geoff?

[Geoff] George, head to the lane
south of the house.

Quick as you can, please, mate.

-[George] I'm two minutes away, Geoff.
-[Nanny] What's the matter?

What's wrong?

[Geoff] Nothing's wrong, Nanny.
We're getting on top of this.

Darling, quickly, reverse. He's got a g*n.

[Charly] This is an armored car, Mummy.

-I am not reversing.
-[engine revs]

[dramatic music plays]

f*ck.

No, no! [groans]

[tense music plays]

Do you think I got him?

You definitely got him.

-I mean, do you think I k*lled him?
-Very possibly.

Oh my God. I think he just moved.

What do you think?

Better to be sure?

Yeah.

[dramatic music plays]

[thudding]

[tense music plays]

Um… Once more?

Might as well.

-[engine revs]
-[dramatic music plays]

[thudding]

Ooh.

[music fades]

[George] Is your Land Rover
still friendly?

-[Geoff] It's ours.
-[George] Good.

In that case, don't reckon you need
to worry about their other man.

I'll head back your way.

Good man.

[man 1] Where are you, Jay?

[Geoff] Give me five minutes, boss.

I'm on it.

When they figure out no-one's coming
for 'em, they'll get agitated.

As soon as George gets back,
we need to move on 'em.

It's all gonna be okay, Nanny.

They're not taking your little boy.

You mean our little boy?

I know you're his grandfather.

What I am struggling to comprehend
is the reason for… for the big secret.

[sniffs]

Yeah.

It's not that simple.

I have been waiting
for you to tell me for weeks.

Offering you plentiful opportunities
for you to… come clean,

but you… you can't do it.

It's just that some things
are better left unsaid.

[Zammo] Where the f*ck is he?

[man 1] Jay?

Where did we meet?

I said

where did we meet?

[Geoff] How are we doing, George?

[George] I'm back in position.

I've got eyes on Tarquin. They've put him
in the back of the van. He's safe.

[Geoff] Okay, it's time.

I'll peel off to the left.
Nanny will take the right.

The one on your side is yours.

[George] Right you are, Geoff.

[tense music plays]

You ready?

[b*llet whizzes]

[man 1] Do you have eyes on?

[Zammo] I've got f*ck all!

[b*llet ricochets]

[Zammo groans]

[groans]

[groans]

Can you stand?

[Nanny] Nothing serious.

All call signs, come in.

Zammo, you there? Zammo? Jay? Anyone?

[exhales]

[strains]

-[Nanny] No, I can't…
-[George] Geoff!

There's one left.
He's down, but he's not out.

He's got Tarquin. He's gone west side.

Heading towards Bagley's Path.

[man 1 breathes heavily]

[man 1] f*ck. f*ck.

[music fades]

Where are the keys to the car?

Put the baby down, and I'll tell you.

Put the g*n down first.

Or the baby stays with me.

Okay.

[Tarquin murmurs]

[man 1] Keys?

They're in the Sago tin
in between the sugar and the coffee.

[Tarquin whines]

We use it to make soups,
cakes, and puddings.

Get 'em for me.

[Tarquin cries quietly]

-[Geoff whistles]
-[dog snarls]

[dog snarls]

[tense music plays]

[music stops]

[Tarquin cries]

[somber music plays]

[dog barks]

[dog barks]

[dog barks]

[dog barks]

[dog barks]

[dog barks]

[wheezes]

[music fades]

[Susie] I've just been made aware
of some extremely sad news, Dad.

It appears that the contessa is dead.

What do you mean, dead?

Details are a little sketchy at present,

but according to the bridesmaid
Jack copped off with,

someone put an expl*sive device
on her seaplane.

Detonated it at altitude.

That's f*cking terrible.

I'm devastated.
I'm f*cking devastated here.

-What about the box?
-What box?

The box thingy. The black box.
The black box with all the information.

You find the black box,
and you find out what happened.

[Susie] It's not a f*cking jumbo jet, Dad.
It's a Mickey Mouse puddle jumper.

It ain't got no black box.

What I'd like to know

is whether or not
you had anything to do with it.

You think I k*lled her?

[Susie] Obviously,
no one was trying to k*ll her.

The question is,
who was trying to k*ll him?

And Eddie may not have
an actual list of suspects,

but if he did,
I'm pretty sure you'd be on it.

And not near the bottom.

I'm very fond of the Duke.

-That hasn't stopped you before.
-Oh, well, that's a little bit unfair.

I was never trying to k*ll him.
I was just teaching him a lesson.

[somber music plays]

So where is he now?

[Susie] We don't know. He f*cked off
from police custody in Gstaad.

He's disappeared.

No trace.

I tried to call him.

No result.

He'll know that b*mb was meant for him.

He's not a f*cking idiot.

And he'll know if they didn't succeed
the first time around,

they'll try and try again.

[Bobby] Edward is not who he was before.

[knife clatters]

He's now a dangerous man.

He'll want vengeance.

And he now has the bollocks and the skills

to exercise that vengeance.

He's gonna be
a volatile Tasmanian m*therf*cking Devil.

[groans]

[Bobby] The question is,

how much destruction will he unfurl

before he gets the answer he needs?

I'll tell you this, babe.

If he thinks it's me
behind this mad circus,

that might be a big f*cking problem.

Level with me.

Did you do it or didn't you?

Well, the truth is, um…

I'm not really surprised.

I… I knew something like this
was gonna happen.

It's not the end of the nastiness.

Now I've got something
I need to tell you, babe.

Something I… I should have shared
with you before.

What is it, Dad?

You might not like it.
