Hard Sun (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Episode #1.5 - full transcript

Bring me the flash drive.

I haven't got it. Renko took it.
It's gone.

We cut her a deal. If she can
bring you down,

then her child stays out of prison.

- Did my dad rape you?
- Yes.

But if you go to prison,

then your family will have to face
what's coming without you.

So what's taking so long?

There's nothing to suggest that
Hicks killed Butler.

He's sleeping with the man's wife.

- Do you think he killed your husband?
- Of course he didn't! Jesus!



For what it's worth, I don't think
so, either.

She told someone where it is and
what to do with it,

someone she can trust, but I don't
know who that is.

When she was 14,

Renko's parents brought in a
complaint of rape against a teacher.

Noah Underhill.

Do you want to buy some dope?

Hey! Oi!

Stop! Please!

Hello, Dad.

Morning.

You fancy a cooked breakfast? Come
on, I'm starving here.

No, I couldn't, babe. Just woke up.

Come on, have a proper breakfast.



I'll do the full works, how's that?

Have you found your son?

No, sir.

And he's been missing how long?

Just over a week.

- And you've been looking for him?
- Very hard, yeah.

Your son is the sword that I've
got dangling over your head,

and then suddenly he's gone -
bazinga! Penn and Teller,

disappeared into a puff of magic.

There was nothing magic about it,
I can tell you that much.

So you didn't suggest to him that
he slice himself up

- and get himself sent to hospital?
- Why would I do that?

Cos it's a lot easier for your boy to

escape from a hospital than a secure
unit.

And once he's free, so are you,

of me, of Hicks.

- That's not what happened.
- Then what did?

I don't know.

I'll tell you when I find him.

Choose a side, Elaine.

All right, I'll choose a side when
you tell me what this is all about.

Because we both know that Hicks
didn't kill Alex Butler.

So, come on. Why do you want him so
badly?

What, you still think this is about me?

That I'm set on revenge because
Charlie Hicks shtupped my wife

at the Christmas party?

Well, I don't have a wife. I have a
husband.

And none of this has got anything to
do with me and what I want.

This comes from above my head.

Someone on high wants Charlie Hicks
defenestrated.

Who on high?

- Sorry, guv. Got a call.
- That's fine.

I think DI Renko and I have gone
through this morning's agenda.

Yeah. Thank you, sir.

- What have we got?
- Victim's a Noah Underhill.

- OK?
- Yeah.

- I'm out the door. Send details.
- On their way.

- Morning, sir.
- Morning.

What, that bad?

- Morning, Keith.
- Boss.

He's divorced, lives alone.

We think the killer broke into the
house while he was out running.

He liked to run at night. Which is
a thing people do, apparently...

for reasons.

The...

The killer took an ice pick to...

His genitals, Keith. You can say it.

The killer took an ice pick to the
victim's penis and testicles.

Well, someone was miffed.

I mean, why cant we all just get
along and stop icepicking

each other's wingwangs?

Have we got a name?

Underhill. First name, Noah.

- Where's Elaine?
- She's on her way.

The guvnor called her in for a talk.

Listen, just... Just give me a tick.

- DCI Hicks.
- He's a tinker, isn't he?

Who is?

Elaine's boy, Daniel,
who do you think?

- What have you done?
- I mean, an ice pick to the privates.

That's got to be a "ten from Len".

Wait a minute. Are you here? Are
you watching this?

Listen to me, Charlie. Stop
looking for me and listen.

We turned the place over before the
first responders got to the scene,

but we couldn't find the flash drive.

Here comes trouble.

Elaine's about to do all she can to
save her child.

She will dig her own grave in the
process.

All you have to do is get that flash
drive

and she is out of our lives, safely,
with no more blood shed.

Fuck, I can't just go blundering
about into a crime scene.

Well, if it were me, I would
follow Elaine.

She must know where it's hidden.

Just let her find it and take it
from her.

And then what? What happens to Elaine?

She's trying to hang you, Charlie.

Just let her hang herself instead.

Anyway, I've got to go.

- Hey.
- So, what are we looking at?

- Morning.
- How's it going?

Yeah, tiptop.

- Do we know what he did for a living?
- He was a personal tutor.

For?

- Rich people with dense kids.
- Any funny business?

You know, with his... pupils?

- Nothing that we know of.
- But that doesn't mean no.

And revenge for sexual assault would
explain the winkle.

Any forensics?

Nice trainer print outside, size 8,

but other than that, he was pretty
cautious.

He? We like someone for it?

- Not yet, no.
- So it's not necessarily a he.

Well, she'd have to be a strong woman.

- What, and women can't be strong?
- Yeah, Keith, check your privilege.

- My wife won't let me.
- And nothing was taken?

Well, the place has been turned
over, but his computer's still

here, the TV, the DVD player.

Haven't found the victim's phone
yet, though.

So the killer took it?

If he did, he had the presence of
mind to power it down.

So it won't be much use without
the password, then?

Fingerprint detection's capacitive.

Even if the victim's bleeding out,
the killer could have

used his fingerprint, unlocked the
phone, and reset the password.

Either way, the second he powers
up that phone, we'll have him.

OK, good.

Well, hello there. George.

MOBILE PHONE VIBRATES George.

Boss, the victim's phone's been
powered up.

Nice one. Listen, patch it
through, all right?

He's turned on the phone.

We've got him.

- How long is this going to take?
- Herbie?

Not long. We know the phone's
still in London.

We're triangulating the signal now.

And... boom. Got him.

He's in here somewhere.

Sending you the feeds now.

What about this scabby little nutsack?

Herbie, can you zoom into the
blonde kid playing on his phone?

- There.
- Moving in.

What's he doing?

Herbie, has he seen something?
Have you got uniforms on the scene?

Not yet. Officers are en route.

Phone's off. We can still keep eyes
on him.

Lost him. Sorry.

Boss, can I have a word?

Yeah, of course.

- What, now?
- Yeah, outside.

I just got a text. It's about my
son, Daniel.

Sorry, I'll have to sit this one out.

- Is he OK?
- Not really, no.

- Well, I need you here.
- Yeah, I know.

But he comes first.

Yeah, yeah, sure.

- Listen, you do what you've got to do.
- Right, cheers, boss.

I'll make up the time.

You can relax now, Charlie. I
think we can take it from here.

She hasn't got it. Her son's got
it. Daniel.

Listen, Elaine's trying to get to
him before the police can.

She is on her last nerves here, so
let me handle this.

Because she trusts you?

I wouldn't call it that.

You should be working for us.

All right, there's no need to get nasty.

It's a genuine offer.

We'll need people like you in the
days to come.

And what is to come?

What is it?

Do you ever read the Bible?

Only the rude bits.

"And I looked and behold a pale
horse, and his name that sat on him"

"was Death."

"And Hell followed with him."

Then why does it even matter?

The file and Elaine?

Cos whatever you do, people are
going to know eventually.

I made a promise.

What, to the Government?

- Sod the Government.
- It's not about the Government.

I just want to hang on to this for
as long as I can, Charlie.

Normality.

I just want to treasure what we've
got, while we've got it.

You just keep your people out of my way.

I'll get you your flash drive. And
then we're done.

Simone! Hi!

Hi. Sorry, have you got five minutes?

Yeah, yeah, of course. Come on in.

My God! Congratulations!

Thanks.

I mean, come in! Put your feet up.

Hey, I've brought cake.

I'm sorry I haven't been round.

You give someone space because you
think they probably need it.

Then, before you know it, months
have gone past

and you feel like you've abandoned them.

Nobody abandoned anyone.

Life moves on. Takes you with it.

But you still see 'em? The others?

Sometimes, yeah. Erm...

Keith makes the effort, drops round
the odd shepherd's pie.

Erm, Herbie, sometimes.

It's hard for them, you know.

They see me and then they see this
absence, next to me.

And Charlie? When's the last time
you saw him?

I don't know, really.

But you do still see him?

Yeah. Sometimes. I mean - yeah.

The reason I ask is cos every time
I mention your name...

ask how you're doing or whatever,
he... he clams up.

He won't talk about you.

But I know he cares about you.

Yeah, I know he does.

I know he cares about us.

- It's just, the thing about Charlie.
- He likes to look after people.

It's like a nervous compulsion.

And you mean so much to him.

And he loves you.

But he thinks he let you down.

You, Alex and Owen.

But that's not true.

He didn't.

Could you just...

look him in the eye and tell him
it wasn't his fault?

Alex...

He died and it... it was horrible.

But it wasn't his fault.

Fran? Hi, I'm Gretchen Ross from
Social Services.

We spoke on the phone.

About Daniel Renko?

Of course, yes. Come in.

- You'll have to excuse the mess.
- Not at all.

So what can you tell me about Daniel?

You were his last foster family?

- That's right.
- How was he? How did he fit in?

Look, there's usually a honeymoon period

where a child is sizing you up.

It can be a very anxious time.

Rejection or abuse by the birth
mother has proved

that they're not worth loving. Not
worth trusting.

Not worth much of anything, really.

So they act out, trying to

end a placement before someone else
takes it away from them.

They're disruptive and violent.

They set fires. Start fights.
Selfmedicate.

And Daniel acted out like that?

He was a very damaged boy.

We tried our best.

But he needed more than we could give.

You are aware that Daniel recently
got placed in a secure unit?

Apparently. I think he attacked
his birth mother?

- That's right.
- How is she?

She's fine. She'll be OK.

I'm glad to hear she's all right.

Just over a week ago, Daniel absconded.

Is there anything you can tell us
that might help find him?

A place he'd go? A friend he'd rely on?

Not really. Sorry.

He was very private. He barely spoke.

Actually, there was a place.

Somewhere he'd run to, basically,

back when he was with his previous
family.

And... And where was that? Do
you... Do you remember?

I know why you did it.

It wasn't right, but I get it.

How'd you find me?

It's my job to find people.

Is that why you're here, then? For
your job?

No.

He was a rapist. He deserved it.

I know, but that's not how it works.

It should be.

Some people think so, yeah.

But not you.

No. Not me.

He gave me something.

He was lying on the floor. He was
bleeding.

He said, "I know why you're here."
And he sent me to get this.

Have you looked at it?

Why?

Have you? Have you looked at it?

No.

What is it?

Look, it doesn't matter.

So, are you here for me? Or you
here for this?

I'm here for you, Daniel. I'm here
to help you.

- Come on!
- No!

Daniel, run!

Charlie! Let him go.

I get the flash drive

and we forget I ever clapped eyes on
Jack the Ripper here.

Everyone's laughing.

You're doing this for them?

No, Elaine. My kids.

You think you're putting your
family first but you're not.

Tell him to give me the flash drive!

Or I'll break his arm.

Tell him!

I saw the file you gave him.

How else did he get it?

You do what you've got to.

But you were wrong.

Noah wasn't Daniel's father.

Bullshit.

My parents thought he was.

But he wasn't. He was a good man.

He was a really good man.

But he looked like me.

And now he's dead, not because of
Daniel, because of YOU, Charlie!

- But he looked like me!
- No, it's all right, mate.

No, she's lying.

Yeah. Yeah, we both know she's a liar.

I don't think she can help it.

Run!

Daniel! Stop!

Daniel! Stop!

She was lying.

He was my dad.

I know. I know, mate.

- You catch him?
- Not yet. But I will.

No, you won't.

What, is that supposed be some
sort of a threat?

- You've got no cards to play here, mate.
- You think?

- If you had anything on Alex Butler.
- Anything at all -

- I'd know about it by now.
- But what about his wife?

What, you think Mari's going to
believe any of your paranoid

- bullshit?
- What I mean is,

how's everyone going to react to
know that you're screwing her?

I mean, Charlie Hicks, right?

He's not perfect but, Christ
almighty, he's loyal.

So what will they think? Mishal,
Herbie, George, Keith.

I mean, that's bad enough...

but what about Simone and Hailey?

You get away from my house.

I can take it all away.

All the people you love.

I can make them detest you,

and you'll have no one.

What, so I get a taste of what
it's like to be you?

Don't pretend you're not terrified.

See, the funny thing is, Elaine,

that you think you understand me so
well.

But you don't even understand yourself.

See, the thing about loving someone

and I mean really loving someone -

is that it's not about them liking you.

It's about doing what's best for them,

no matter the cost.

I mean, look at yourself.

Look at what you're doing right now.

- I mean, that's love, that is.
- Stay away from my son.

He's a murderer!

There's a lot of them
around, and in a few months

it's not going to matter who's a
killer and who's not.

You say one word to Simone...

one word...

- and I will end you.
- That's big words, Charlie.

No, no, no, no.

We're in a whole other level now.

You've just taken this to a new place.

I mean, they send you after me,

what do I care? You're no threat to me.

It's not even like I don't like you,
because basically I do,

but if you take this to Simone and

Hailey, I will kill you, stone dead.

I will finish you!

Five years, Charlie.

Leave my son alone.

Is Stef here?

Who?

Stefan?

Stef.

Stef.

- You know him?
- Yeah.

Just wanted to stay for a bit.

So stay for a bit.

Hey! Listen, I can't talk right now.

I'm having a bit of a day here.

She's pregnant!

Well, who told you?

Was it Elaine?

No one told me anything, that's
the point!

- Well, how'd you find out?
- Like that's what matters?!

Look, I just...

Sorry, look, I'm trying to follow
you here, all right?

I'm... I'm not following.

Simone came round.

- What for?
- She wanted me to talk to you.

- About?
- Alex.

Look, I don't get it. What did she
want you to say?

She knows something's wrong!

She's scared for you.

Listen...

I know we've never spoken about it,
because we can't...

but I do know what you did for us...

and I know what it cost you.

I know it every second of every day.

But Simone asked me to talk to you,
your wife...

so now I'm talking to you.

This has got to end, me and you.

It's not good, it's not healthy.

You need to be a husband to your wife

and a father to your kids.

And I need...

What? What do you need?

I need to be clear of it.

I need to stop looking back and
start looking towards the future.

Yeah, well, what future?

What, I can't have a future without you?

No, sorry, listen, Mari, that's
not what I meant! It's not...

Mari, listen! Mari!

Herbie.

All right, good news or I hang up.

Victim's phone is back on the
grid. We are in business.

Right, that's great news.

All right, kick bollocks, scramble
everything we've got.

I'll see you there.

I'm having that manky little plum
for my dinner.

OK, let's go!

Whisky three, currently en
root to apprehend. Murder suspect,

potentially armed and dangerous.

Armed response unit requested.

Proceeding to 13 Lombard Close.

Echo, one, three, Romeo, Charlie.

Which unit's closest?

All right, tell her to get there as
soon as possible.

We're en route.

Hey. I'm looking for Daniel.

I don't know any Daniels. Sorry.

Do you mind if I pop in,

have a look around, see if he's here?

Hey, Daniel.

How are you?

Can you tell me where it is, Daniel?

Can you help me find a flash drive?

Did you hide it somewhere?

Give it to someone?

Did you give it to Elaine?

Is that what you did? You gave it to
your mum?

That was good, Daniel.

Very clever thinking.

Can I get some more of what he's having?

How much more?

A lot.

Sshhh. It's OK.

Sshhh.

Renko's here for the boy. She's
got the flash drive.

Control the situation. We'll be
there shortly.

Roger that.

Herbie, how long before armed
response are on the scene?

ETA seven minutes. Where are you?

I'm en route.

I'll be there in ten, they'll have
to start without me.

Where's Daniel?

- What did you give him?
- Enough.

But he can still live.

There's still time, if you can keep
him awake,

get him to Accident and Emergency
and give him a shot of naloxone.

You know what I want.

Give me that flash drive and he's
all yours.

- So you'll just let me take him?
- Absolutely.

- And I believe that?
- Why not?

I'll have forgotten you both by
teatime.

OK.

- How do we do it?
- Have you got it on you?

In my pocket.

Reach into your pocket.

Move slowly.

Throw it to me.

Underarm.

Daniel, Daniel, you stay awake, OK?

I'm getting you out of here but we
need that phone.

Daniel, it's got your fingerprints
on it. Your DNA.

Wake up! Where's the phone?

30 seconds, we're leaving. Stay awake!

Phone.

What phone?

That's all I've got. So take it
and give me the phone.

And your cards.

Take it and give me the phone

and I'll let you leave this shitbox
with the use of your limbs.

Mishal? He's powered off his phone.

- He may be moving on.
- We're five minutes out.

What's this?

Hey, I said that I would take care
of it.

And so you did. Now it's time for
us to take over.

There's no time for this!

Look, Armed Response are on their way!

Then follow procedure and wait for
them to arrive.

This will all be over in a moment,
Charlie.

What happens to Elaine?

We retrieve the flash drive, after
which she's no threat

and therefore of no interest.

In a minute or two, the
police will arrive to

find that Elaine has
been protecting her son.

She'll be arrested and charged with
I don't know

withholding evidence?

Perverting the course of justice?

You've set her up pretty nicely.

And what about Daniel?

Just let her dig her own grave, Charlie.

It's not here.

Tell me where it is, or I'll have
to let Daniel pass away.

His breathing's very shallow. It
won't be long now.

Well, that's your plan anyway, isn't it?

Get what you want. Kill us, cover
your tracks.

It doesn't have to be that way.

Your time is up.

I think we both know that.

But I don't see any reason

why Daniel can't live.

If you hurt me, or my son,

your dirty secret's all over the
newspapers tonight.

I've been doing this a long time,
Elaine.

I know a bluff when I see one.

You've had no time to do anything
clever with the file.

So it's no longer in play, is it?

I think we're probably done here.

Take her back for interrogation.

Leave the boy here. His story is over.

No, no, no, no, no!

Daniel!

Just don't!

No!

Daniel! No!

No! Look!

There's no way out!

Except that noise you're hearing is
a specialist firearms unit,

tooled up with semiautomatics.

Now, you see, if that lot see you lot

with a gun to a police officer's skull,

they will shoot you dead ten times over.

Now, I don't care who you are.

I don't care who you work for.

You don't get to kill children.

Not even mad ones.

So go on, hop in your wanker tanker
and piss off!

Here they come.

Ready or not.

Armed police!

Armed police!

Armed police! Armed police! Do not move!

Daniel! Stay with us, mate!

All right, you hear me? You stay
with us!

Stay with me, OK? Stay with me!

Do not fall asleep, you understand me?!

Stay with us, Daniel!

- Hey.
- Hi.

Any news?

He's going to be all right.

Well, let's be fair -

I don't know what "all right"
actually means in this context.

Hey, listen, it's not his fault.

You know, the kid's...

Well, he's ill.

We'll take him back to the Secure
Unit. We'll tell them...

I don't know, we found him sleeping
rough at Victoria Station or something.

OK.

And what about his dad?

Noah?

Yeah, well, we'll think of something.

And us?

You do know she's going to come for
us twice as hard.

Yeah, well, not if we've still got
that flash drive.

No!

No, no.

I keep my spare keys in that.

I know.

That is cheeky.

But good.

Very good.

Charlie...

You told me once...

You said you'd protect Daniel if I
wasn't about.

Yeah, I know.

I thought you were threatening me.

I know.

I'm so sorry.

Hey, come on, don't be.

Look, you and me...

It doesn't mean you're not a problem.

You're just a problem I have to deal
with in my own way. OK?

But I got you so wrong from day one.

Well, I don't know about that.

I honestly thought they were right.

Before I got to know you.

I thought you killed Butler.

Elaine, I... I thought you knew.

Knew what, Charlie?

It was me.

I killed him.

Are you ready for what comes next?

I think someone's out there

killing people who believe they want
to die.

No one trusts you, Charlie. Why
should I be the first?

Did they arrest someone for
killing Alex?

Someone else?

What kind of man are you?

A sad man?

A lonely man?

A police man?

What happens to a dirty spy who
can't be trusted to keep a secret?

And that's what you want, really,
isn't it?

Hicks on a plate!
