01x07 - Mari Says Hi

[bunniefuu]

I know who you are. Nina's friend
who ran away at her first night.

Ambulance and police. Where...
I just don't.

No prints, wiped. Three shots,
one hit. Soft tissue damage.

Is he dead yet?

Why am I getting a phone call
from you?

Don't lose the phone. Yalda.

-Bye sweeties.
-We can come back tomorrow.

Water.

-Suzie Hawkins?
-Let's get her story out there.

I see you Arthur Fried.

I'll have to sleep on it.

Now the country can too.

I'll be back at nine.

Suzie?

Aarne was very kind. They knew that.

The Gerber boys set their mission
to destroy him without touching him.

Mr. Latif's son, Amjad,
had his life truly cut short

by a single stone thrown in anger.

I offer Mr. Latif and his family
my prayers and my friendship.

Do you swear that you had no idea
about the man, paid to throw stones?

We blame the stone throwing Muslim.

-It must be spoken.
-What are we?

I swear.

British and proud.

-David's on the phone.
-Tell him I'm busy.

Say hello to Arthur Fried... MP.

How did you sleep?

-I made some breakfast.
-Thanks.

Paddy will pick up some stuff
from your place, so...

-tell him what you need.
-Stay as long as you want.

Make a list, yeah.

There's a bag at the door,
you can take that one.

He texted me.

Victory party.
A f*cking c*ck b*stard.

Yeah.

Win or lose.

He just offered me a new job.

Hmm?

Toni Gallagher's.

Oh really?

You know, you did well
with Fried and Vanags.

You're part of us now.

The Studio. For real.

I just need to know if Vanags
will go away for a long time.

Arthur Fried!

Friends, Romans, Fair Ruler's.

I think it was Pitbull The Younger
who first remarked

"History is just one bloody thing
after another."

Well, tomorrow we make history!

And one bloody thing is certain.

The silent majority
will no longer be ignored.

By the end of the day
they will have a voice, my voice!

So, go get the votes out and I will
see you all at the victory party!

Arthur, Arthur, Arthur...

Welcome Gents.
I hope you like the venue.

-Perfectly adequate.
-How's your wife, Arthur?

The broken arm is trending
on Twitter.

Yeah, it's just... The opposition's
getting desperate.

I'm about to issue a rebuttal
on social media,

with a letter from her doctor.

Real or fake?

-Not everything is a game, Jakob.
-Maybe. But everything is a gamble.

Investment is... just gambling

for rich people, Mr Fried.

Well I think I'm a pretty safe bet.
Don't you?

I may be a lone voice at first,
but with your investments

in the General Election...

I'll be able to field a candidate
in every constituency in the country.



say half a million
per constituency. 325 million.




We've bought one already. Didn't we?

Look, Arthur.

All the kingdoms of the world.
Just for you.

If you'll excuse me, gents.
I've got an election to win.

That place where we picked up Duffy.
There's something wrong there.

Six women and a kid taken out there
by border force, why?

The b*stards never clear anything
with us first.

You can't blame them.
This place is full of rats.

-Except it wasn't them. I checked.
-Who was it then? Elf's?

I don't know. Stolen uniforms.
Rival g*ng, maybe.

The fat guy did say the girls
were on the game.

Worth dressing up as cops

to steal some good earners
from the competition maybe.

f*cking Vanags. What a stupid name.
How's he doing?

Still in ICU. But he did have
some sort of meltdown.

Claimed someone poured acid on him.
Guilty conscience, plus morphine.

But he's still not talking, is he?
We don't know who shot him.

It wasn't Duffy anyway.

He had a broken arm and was zip-tied
to a chair four miles away.

But we do have a woman
on the 999 call.

Ambulance and police...

What? Where? I just don't...

Oh by the way, you do know
it's publication week, inspector?

It's fine, Sam.

-You want some tea inspector?
-Coffee. Black. No sugar.

Sure.

-How are you doing Lia?
-Fine.

Do you mind if I...

-You have to say yes.
-Yes... Fine. What is this?

Well I was just in the neighbourhood.
I thought I'd come in and say hello.

See if you could help me
with Nina's case.

Kazimir Vanags. Heard of him?

-No.
-No.

Well he's not a very nice man.
He's in intensive care at the moment,

-big hole in him.
-Who shot him?

Who said he was shot?

The big hole in him...

-He was stabbed then?
-No, he was shot.

Sorry inspector, like my boss said,
we do have a deadline week

and it's a bye-election coming up,
so what do you want?

Well, whoever shot him did the world
a favour if you ask me.

Guy's a piece of sh*t.

Yeah.

You know, I was a quiet kid
at school. Kept myself to myself.

I always used to beat the sh*t
out of bullies.

Couldn't stand them. And I never got
in trouble for it, you know why?

No.

Because I always told them
it was self-defence.

If you want my help, I'm here.

Think about it.

Where is she?
I'm Lia's fiancé, where is she?

If you ever try that again I'll break
your f*cking arm, you hear me.

Okay.

Now, you're going to walk away
from here and never come back.

You got that?

You, you go. Okay?

-My fiancé?
-That's what he said.

-And you let him go?
-What did you expect me to do?

f*cking sh**t him?
That's your style, not mine.

Anyway, I'm not going back to prison.

I reckoned your Asian mate
would've f*cked him

into the garden first anyway.

Big fan of yours.

Not as big of your fiancé obviously.

He's not my fiancé,
he's an evil sick b*stard.

-Speaks highly of you too.
-Hey.

Anyway, you're welcome.
There's your stuff.

I think he got the message.
I know I did.

Men don't understand anything.

Why would he?

My life doesn't even
make sense to me.

Every day a different way to work.

A different way home.

Every time you go out...

Is that him in the shadows?
Ready to run.

In a way, it's a relief
when he finds you...

because for a little time
you're free from the waiting.

You don't think he's watching.

You know he is.

You move on...

a friend's sofa...
a new phone, new name,

a new part of town.

A new town. A new country.

Until one day.

A knock at the door.

Last time I escaped, it wasn't him
I was frightened of anymore.

It was me.

So stop running.

You're with me now.

With us.

And if Matti comes back,
I'll put him in the ground. Okay?

You told Suzie about Matti,
didn't you?

That's why she agreed
to the interview.

She knew before I told her.

Tomorrow's election day.

I can't turn Suzie around.
But maybe you can.

I'll try to call her again.

Okay.

Are you sure
this is the right address?

Well, we're not
in Clapham anymore, Toto.

Suzie. We were worried.

I said you could come.

Not them. You got my lawyer's letter.
No video.

-Can we just come in and talk?
-No point.

Then it can't hurt either, can it?

-Nice place.
-I'm not changing my mind.

Must be, what? Three grand a month?

-So?
-Arthur.

-Arthur who?
-Oh Suzie, come on!

"Oh Suzie, come on." What?
Don't pretend you know me.

You want something.

It doesn't matter
if I get screwed along the way.

Are you going to pay for this place?

Take off the glasses.

I'd like you to leave.

Get a good gander? Still want to know
how much the rent is?

We can take him down. Trust us.

In your dreams!
He found me where you hid me.

Didn't even bother to do
his own dirty work this time.

-In return for what?
-In return for shutting up

like I've done for free
for the last twenty years,

until your lot turned up.

Maybe I should've found a way
to make him stay. Maybe I...

I should've just took it.

-At least by now I'd be...
-By now you'd be dead.

We can find you somewhere else.
Maybe not like this but...

somewhere safe.

Safe? Safe?

He said if I did not sign,
my niece would have an accident.

Look at her! He told me
her home address. Her school.

Her f*cking ballet class times.

Leave me alone and fight your own
bloody crusade. I'm done.

-Hey Mari!
-Get the f*ck out.

Get out! Go!

I'm sorry Aarne. I know your dad
always fixed it.

Maybe Mari can fix it for you.

-Aarne's Walkman is broken again.
-Let's buy a new one.

It has to be that one only.

Mikael ordered a new one once

but Aarne found out
that it wasn't the right one.

Take it ease, Aarne!
Mari will take care of the Walkman.

Aarne, I will take care of that.

I have a friend
who can fix everything.

Okay.

I have to go now.

Bye. Goodnight Aarne.

Mari will fix it!

-Sorry. I didn't mean to disturb.
-No problem.

It's been so long
since I wrote something in Swedish.

Do you need help?

Yeah, maybe...

-Is she yours?
-Yes.

-What's her name?
-Her name is Lena.

She's turning sixteen soon.

Your dad... what was he like?

My dad? He was good.

He was away a lot.

Always brought gifts.

Jewellery, candy, and such things,
when he came over.

Nice.

But he wasn't there at birthdays,
last day of school,

piano concerts.

And then he was gone more and more.

And then...

he was home less and less.

After a while
he didn't come home at all.

And if you could get a letter
from him today?

If he said he was sorry for...

all the days he missed, but that
he knows that he can't undo it.

What would you want him to say?

Nothing.

I would probably...

want him to...

come and hold me.

Mr. Fried. How are you feeling today?

Proud to be British. Like most days.

Any comment on the viral video
alleging domestic abuse?

Just another desperate
last-minute attempt

to derail the will of the public.

I believe my ex-wife
has already issued a statement,

confirming it to be a lie.

The video claiming my ex-husband
abused me is a fake.

I was duped into thinking
it was some kind of performance

to aid a charity
against violence to women.

There is no truth to the allegations

and those peddling lies
against a good man...

It's a clever b*stard.
He's using our Suzie video

to leverage his new one
with her denying it.

-What the f*ck.
-And every comment section

is pushed by an army of trolls.

-Oh, you mean just like our one.
-We gave her our word.

You gave your word. Not mine.

What do you think Fried
will do to her now?

Absolutely nothing. He got her
to deny her own video.

So she has zero credibility
at the moment.

For them and us: worthless.

For f*ck's sake Mari.

Is there nothing
that isn't a power game with you?

Bringing Fried down or the people
behind him isn't a game.

-Never was.
-Well not one you're winning anyway!

At least Fried's honest.
All he wants is power

and he'll say whatever to get it!

Excuse me Lia...

Shut up Rico. I'm talking to the
organ grinder, not the monkey.

-Okay, I'll just go.
-I'm going too.

You're okay with this?

No, I'm not okay. But I'm less okay
with Fried coming to power.

How about you, Berg?
What do you think?

-Too afraid of losing your sponsor?
-Yes Lia, I am.

But she's also my friend.
And yours, as you might know.

You know, Paddy was right.
You weren't ready.

Ready for what?
Running into the g*ns

of whoever you decide
is enemy of the day?

Nobody forces you to do anything.

You really believe your own bullshit.

The rest of them just tell you
what you want to hear.

You better go. I mean it.

I'll pick up my things
in the morning.

Arthur, Arthur, Arthur...

Arthur Alexander Fried,
Fair Rule party,



I hereby declare that Arthur Fried
is the duly elected member

of parliament for Beckton West.

Arthur, Arthur, Arthur...

I hereby declare that Arthur Fried

is the duly elected member
of parliament for Beckton West.

So I'd like to thanks you once again
for your trust

and for giving me the opportunity
to make Britain great again!

Friends, we told them,
but they didn't listen.

Well, they're listening now.

You did it again, you Devil.

Well done, congratulations sir.

You said you didn't know.
Did you k*ll my son, did you?

Tell me! Did you pay this man to
cast the first stone? You're a liar!

You k*lled my son!
You b*stard! You're a liar!

Did you k*ll my son? You liar,
did you k*ll my son? Let me go!

It's all there.

This is the end of this, now.
You'll be safe.

-Wow.
-How are you?

-Fine.
-Yeah?

-You?
-Well... It's...

Lia!

-Sorry excuse me. Finally!
-Hi.

I thought you missed
the celebrations.

No, of course not.

Have you considered my offer?

I have no political experience,
Arthur.

Apart from printing pages for the
lefty press. And for the far right.

Yeah but that's not the same
as running the country.

You know, people aren't always
what they seem.

What?

I'm not blind, Lia.
I know you didn't just wander in here

out of love for the cause.

Especially not from New Level.

But we're past all that,
and frankly I don't care.

Sometimes you have to
get your hands dirty.

And the trick is
to work with someone...

who has your back... at all times.

No matter what you did.
No matter what you do.

Honesty among thieves.

Yes. Okay.

Arthur! There's someone to see you.

Sorry. Excuse me.

Okay, my office.

-In his office.
-Excuse me, Lia.

At least you don't pretend
not to remember me.

Can I freshen that up for you?

Oh, no thanks.

Are you here for fun?
Sorry, no that came out wrong.

I mean, are you on holiday
or working?

Brussels isn't much
of a holiday town.

Let me guess: NATO?
No, the EU.

No. I'm a businesswoman.

Where are you from?

-From Finland.
-Ah, fascinating country.

Some very interesting thoughts
on education and protecting culture.

Yeah.

-May I?
-Sure.

Aha! The lonely life
of the executive businesswoman.

And how did you work that out?

Well, if you were with somebody
they would be right here

beside you now instead,
unless of course they were a fool.

I'm sorry, I'm not very good
at this am I?

No.

Okay, look. Have pity on a fellow
stranger in a strange town.

Can we start again?

But no names.

Stranger is better.

How about the name
of your favourite drink?

Ten minutes.
Bring me something that I like.

I have a party to get back to.
What do you want?

I want you to resign...

on your first day at work.

Or what?

Or, I go public with
what you did to me seven years ago.

Thank you.

Well... this was my lucky day.

-It certainly was.
-It certainly was.

So now, why don't you
tell me your name?

I will not tell you my name.

Why not?
Just tell me your first name.

I'm not going to tell you my name.

Well, I could make you tell me.

-No, you couldn't.
-I so could.

-I could.
-I don't think so.

Let me show you.

-Let me show you.
-Okay.

I'm going to show you.

-Tell me your name.
-I will not tell you my name.

-Tell me.
-I won't tell you my name.

-Tell me your name!
-You're hurting me.

Tell me your name.

-Tell me your name.
-f*cking get off.

-Get out!
-Tell me your f*cking name.

Get the f*ck out of here. You f*ck.

-Okay.
-f*ck off!

Okay. I'm going.

Remind me. Was it my room or yours?

Oh yes that's right. It was yours.
You invited me.

And then I invited you to leave.

Misunderstanding between
two consenting adults.

Many years ago.

Is that what you used to call it
when you hit Suzie?

Oh, that was you.

I thought that was the Tories.

My... You have been busy,
haven't you?

We'll maybe you've been too busy,

because you haven't
done your homework.

You see, it was Suzie
doing most of the hitting.

Bullshit.

You're not the only one
with tapes, you know.

I've got transcripts
from the mental hospital

from twenty years ago.

Oh, didn't she tell you
she was sectioned?

"Delusional and violent".
That's what the doctors said.

Why do people like you think
they'll never get caught?

No, I give up, why?

You look for victims,
the weak and powerless,

because you think they'll never
have the power to hurt you back.

The weak and the powerless.

Who does that remind me of?

So, why don't you tell me
your name now.

Tell me. What's that,
I can't quite hear.

I can't quite hear. f*ck.

I wasn't watching you in Brussels.
I was watching your bosses.

Your friends from Finland.
Tell the Gerbers, Mari says hi.

Mari Rautee, that's my name.

Wish I could've said goodbye.

They'll be in Sweden by now.
Paddy had a friend take care of it.

I want to go too. Far from Vanags.

Well, Vanags will never
touch you again.

Vanags didn't do this to me.

-Who then?
-I don't know his name.

He wore a mask.
All I remember is his voice.

I heard it again. Today...

On TV.
