Hidden (2011–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript

After dumping his girlfriend solicitor Harry Venn is approached by high-powered advocate Gina Hawkes to find Joe Collins,who she claims can prove the innocence of her client,murder suspect Stevie Quirke. Venn is reluctant,especially since Gina and her firm do not appear to exist on paper but is intrigued when Quirke claims to have news of Venn's brother Mark,apparently killed in a police shoot-out years earlier. Leaving the prison Venn is surprised to see Paul Hillman,a policeman whom he also thought was dead. Next day he survives a bomb blast at his office. Meanwhile Opposition Leader Alexander Wentworth goes on television to attack PM Brian Worsley,whose supposed corruption and bribery have caused nation-wide riots.

DOORBELL RINGS

What are you doing?

I don't know
what to say. Erm, sorry.

When did you decide this?



Frances, er... When?

WHEN?!

I don't know.
It wasn't an instant thing.

Look, I've got back-to-back
appointments, er... Appointments?!

You're talking about appointments?!
This is my life, Harry!

I'm Gina Hawkes. I have an 11
o'clock appointment with Mr Venn.

HE SIGHS
Er, Mr Venn's 10:30 is running
a little over.

WOMAN NEXT DOOR: I'm not going to
let you ruin my life!

Why don't I see if I can find you
another appointment? I'll wait.

PHONE RINGS
Don't answer that.

HE SIGHS

Let go.

Do you think he'll pull it off?

Worsley? The coalition?

I really don't know.

Are you really
going to give this up?

Frances, look, you don't have
to do this.

Are you?

You'll catch cold.

Are you sure you don't want to make
another appointment?

It's essential
I see Mr Venn as soon as possible.

I've had enough of this!
You're pathetic, Harry!

HE SIGHS

This is Ms Hawkes, your 11 o'clock.
Please, come into my office.

Erm, I'd, I'd rather go out
if that's OK?

Sure, please.

RADIO: 'lt's 11 o'clock
on Tuesday, 5th July.

'The headlines this morning.
Sensational allegations

'linking Prime Minister
Brian Worsley

'to two secret offshore bank
accounts have been leaked
to a national newspaper.

'The claims come at a critical time
for the Prime Minister

'in his ongoing attempts
to form a new government,

'while rioting continues in the
capital as tens of thousands

'turn out daily to protest
at proposed austerity measures.

'Up to 70 protesters have been
injured... '

I should warn you.
The coffee's terrible.

I've drunk worse.

You're a brave woman. What can
I do for you? I have a client.

He's on a murder charge.
You're a lawyer? Interesting case?

It has a couple of unusual features,

the first being that my client
appears to be innocent.

What you mean, really innocent?
As in, he didn't do it.

Now that is unusual.
His name's Steven Quirke.

Stevie Quirke? What, Little Stevie?
What's this all about? I told you.

Hey, listen, I don't get it.

An expensive lawyer
acting for a career criminal

like Stevie Quirke? How did that
happen?

In the usual way... he called
my office.

He told me he was innocent,
I believe him.

I'm thinking of sending
the brief to Nigel Fountain.

You don't approve
of my choice of counsel?

Well, shouldn't that be SIR Nigel
Fountain? No, I approve very much.

I'm just wondering where all
the money's coming from?

Mr Quirke's innocence is not
the only unusual feature.

He also turned himself in.

So Stevie turned himself in,
he confessed, but he's innocent?

I was getting to that.

Well, if you could you get to it
a little bit faster, Gina,

because I'm getting
sort of confused here.

He confessed because he's terrified.

So terrified, in fact,
that he'd rather be in prison.

And what's he terrified of? He won't
tell me. He wants you to help him.

How? He wants you to find someone
for him.

Look. You're a smart woman.

I can tell you're smart because
you're not drinking the coffee.

But I'm just a high street
solicitor. You need an enquiry
agent.

I'd be more than happy to
recommend one.

Mr Quirke wants you to find Joseph
Francis Collins.
I believe you know him.

HE LAUGHS

Stevie Quirke and Joe Collins?

You're building a case on them?

Actually you don't need
an enquiry agent, Gina,

what you need is a bloody magician.

I disagree. You have the special
contacts my client needs.

What are you after?

I am a lawyer doing my best to get
justice for my client.

Do you know what gives you away,
Gina?

No lawyer uses the word justice

when they're
talking about their own client.

I don't know what game you've got
going on here, but, er,

I'm not playing with you.
Mr Quirke anticipated your reaction.

He has some information that he's
willing to pass on to you.

Information about what?

Your brother Mark.

LOUD GROANING
Mark?

Ah, Jesus.
Mark, are you OK?

What did he say exactly?

About Mark.

His exact words.

Exactly as I've told you.

I'm following the instructions
of my client. You have my card.

Thank you for the coffee.

Don't worry, Harry.

Don't worry, Harry.

PHONE RINGS

Venn & Co. I want you to find out
what you can about a firm called

Hodgkins Truss Wilson.

Where are they? London?

I don't know,
there's no address on the card.

They're not showing up on Google.
What about Gina Hawkes?

No. Nothing. Nothing? No.

Hang on, there's a number here.
07700 900484.

Give it a ring and find out who
they are. 484... OK.

Frank Hanna called. He wants you
there for when the jury get back.

How long have they been out?
About an hour.

Then they'll be out all day.

Mark.

Stevie?

What's all this shit
about my brother?

What is that how you say hello,
Harry? After all these years?

I want to know why you've been
handing out this crap.

What are you trying to sell, Stevie?

Are you going to tell me
who killed Mark? Is that it?

I'm offering a deal here, right?

You help me, you get what I know.

Now that's all I got to deal with,
Harry. You understand?

How did you find Gina Hawkes?
What do you mean?

Stevie, I couldn't find Gina Hawkes

and people might say I'm somewhat
better placed than you.

Yeah, erm, someone give me
her number. Who?

I don't remember.

What, she agrees to act for you -
why?

What, you ain't got the hump,
have you, Harry?

All cos I didn't come to you?

No, you're an old pal, Harry.

Hey, let me shake your hand, eh,
just for the warm feel of it, yeah.

I heard things wasn't going
too good for ya.

Oh, you know, they could be worse.

Yeah, I know that's true.

What do you know about Mark?

Who killed him? Tell me now.

Yeah you'll never guess who I bumped
into.

Paul Hillman.

Straight up.

Move it Harry, move! I'm doing my
fucking best, Hillman!

Yeah, I see him and, er, he's like
all bald now, but I recognise him.

I saw what I saw, Harry.
Paul Hillman.

Yeah, there's just one problem,
Stevie.

Paul Hillman's dead.
He has been for 20 years.

My dad ID'd his body, same time
he ID'd Mark's. I saw him. When?

Few days ago,
just before I come in here.

See, Harry, er, if Hillman's alive,
what does that say about Mark?

What the fuck are you playing at?
Harry, please! Please!

I seen him
and he's breathing like you and me.

You see, the dead don't
come back, Stevie. I saw him!

Where? Where did you see him?

CRIES OF PAIN

I don't really remember.
HE SNIGGERS

You saw a dead man and you don't
remember where? On the tube.

What tube? Which station, what line?

I saw him, all right,
I swear on my child's life.

Why do you need me
to find Joe Collins?

How can Joe help you?

He's got something that can
get me out of this. What?

You tell me or I'm out of here.
What?

A laptop. All right,
I'm not saying nothing more.

That's it. I can't.

You wouldn't be trying to set me up,
would you, Stevie?

Set you up for what? Something
that happened. A long time ago.

Something where there's
no statute of limitations.

If you don't find Joe for me,
I am dead.

You want to relax, Stevie.

They abolished the death penalty
years ago.

Now you've got my number.

Give me a call when you decide to
tell me what the fuck is going on!

GATE BUZZES

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

'Yeah?' Frank Hanna's called
three times. He wants to know

why you're not answering your phone
and why you're not there.

Mr Peters is here and Mrs Crawford.
What do you want me to tell them?

Clear the rest of the day.
I'm not coming back.

We represented a client,
Joe Collins,

Joseph Francis Collins,
about five years ago.

Yeah, possession of Class A drugs.
Snaresbrook Crown Court.

Yeah, dig out his file.
'I've got a million things to do.'

Call when you've got it.
Anything else(?)

Don't expect overtime.
Don't forget to call Frank Hanna.

'Thank you for calling
Hodgkins Truss Wilson... '

I'll get some coffees and see you
back here in about half an hour.

Get off me!

CRIES OF PAIN

It wasn't me!

I wasn't there, I wasn't there!

We both know that's a lie,
don't we? Hey?

CRIES OF PAIN ECHO

HE DIALS A NUMBER,
TELEPHONE RINGS

'Hi, Harry.'

I've just seen Fenton Russell.
I need to see you, Lauren.

Don't get any ideas.
It's not happening again.

Why was Russell at Belmarsh?

He's a cop.

Cops are like solicitors - they go
to prisons from time to time.

Not the same time, the same day
that I happen to be there.

Harry, it's a coincidence.

Unpleasant, but just a coincidence.

HE SIGHS

Lauren, the man
I went to see today...

told me that
he saw Paul Hillman alive.

What, who? Who said that?

A face from the past.
His name's Stevie Quirke.

He was insistent. Told me
he saw Hillman a few days ago.

Harry, Hillman is dead and gone.

Someone's messing with your head.
Why? I don't know why.

But let it go.

Harry, listen to me.

Listen...

Hillman is dead.

That whole thing is gone. Over.

You need to let it go
and move on.

Michael will be home soon and
I don't want him finding you here.

You're always saying I don't see
enough of him. I don't want our son,

who's already dealing with a lot of
issues, finding you here like this.

We're divorced. It'll confuse him.

Confuse HIM? What about me?

Come on, Harry, get up.

Are you seeing anyone? Yes.

It serious?

I don't know yet.

Where'd you meet him?

Internet dating.

Don't look at me like that.
That's how it's done now.

I broke up with Frances today.
What, again?

No, it's for good this time.

I'm sorry.

She seemed like a nice girl. I don't
know what she was doing with you.

What were YOU doing with me?

I'm not as nice as her.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Harry Venn.

Gina Hawkes, Mr Venn.

'You called.' Yeah,
I went to see your client today.

'And I'd like to talk to you more
about his case.'

I could see you for 20 minutes
tonight at 10 o'clock.

20 minutes?

Yes, I have a meeting at 10:30.

What, you do meetings late at night?

'When they're important, yes.'

All right, I'll be there at ten.
Where are you? The Strand Hotel.

'I'll meet you at the bar.'

'The protestors were not
one unified body. Different groups
with different agendas

'surged off in all directions,
some clearly prepared for violence.

'Shops in Pall Mall and Piccadilly
were attacked and set alight.

'In Whitehall, police vans were
smashed up and overturned by a mob

'of students and anarchists
said to number up to 5,000.'
Have you seen this?

'At the same time,
the main body of protestors... '
Feels different, doesn't it?

What's different about it? We don't
have a Government for one thing.

Have you noticed?
I haven't noticed.

'..protestors in the City of London,
with at least 80 arrests.

'There have been allegations
that police over-reacted...

' It was good to see you.
See you.

'..and claims that as
many as 180 people needed

hospital treatment as a
result of the clashes.

'There is an as yet
unconfirmed report... '

Hi, Mikey.
What are you doing here?

That's a nice way
to greet your father(!)

HE SIGHS

Michael... whatever else has happened
between me and your mother,

I'm still your father.

Are you listening to me?
MICHAEL BURPS

Did you see that?
I see it every day.

Lauren,
he needs to show some respect.

You need to spend
more time with him.

Jesus, internet dating?

Goodbye, Harry.

'..the Prime Minister
went on to say that

'those trying to whip up
an atmosphere of hysteria and panic

'must bear responsibility for the
chaos and disorder on our streets.

'But the violence has put further
pressure on the Prime Minister

'after this morning's allegations
about his financial affairs.

'And Alexander Wentworth, tipped as
a front runner to take over,

'was amongst a growing number
of voices describing the proposed
coalition as unworkable.

'Let's not kid ourselves.
The reason the police are out there

'having to deal with this disorder
is that Brian Worsley is bankrupt.

'His coalition is falling to pieces
and he continues to present
the same tired ideas.

'This is not a man who can
lead this country out of

our gravest crisis since
the Battle of Britain.'

SIRENS BLARE,
CAR HORNS HONK

Blimey. You always dress like that
for business meetings?

I didn't say it was business.

Can I get you a drink?
An old fashioned.

Er, one old fashioned
and a vodka tonic. Yes, sir.

You went to see Mr Quirke?

Do you do a lot of crime, Gina?

Not as much as you, I believe.

I only ask because your client,
Stevie Quirke,
hasn't got a hope in hell.

That's my advice -
you can have that for free.

I deal in lost hopes, Mr Venn.

Harry.

What kind of a criminal
lawyer are you, Gina?

In fact, are you any kind of
criminal lawyer at all?

Where did you do your articles?
When did you qualify?

You came here to talk about the
case. No, you're more interesting.

I can assure you I'm not.

Where's that accent from?

Ms Hawkes.

Thank you.

Who are you, Gina Hawkes?

My client asked me to contact you

in order to locate a witness
he believes is crucial to his case.

I carried out his instructions,
as I was obliged to.

This does not give you
the right to be insulting.

OK... Well, you name me
one lawyer in London

or anywhere in this country
that you've had dealings with.

Isn't Sir Nigel Fountain
good enough for you? No, no,
apart from this case. Just one.

If you'll excuse me.

One thing I forgot to mention.

Should you find Joe Collins,
there will be a fee, naturally.

Naturally.
And what if I don't find him?

Oh, I think you're the kind of man
who finds what he looks for.

Flattery's wasted on me. What
sort of fee are we talking about?

Shall we say 20,000?

Well, that should help find him.

Why is Joe Collins
worth £20,000 to you?

Thank you for the drink, Mr Venn.

Harry.

You're wearing the wrong nail
polish.

I quite like it.

No, it doesn't suit you.

And what would you suggest?

I suggest you cancel
your next meeting

and stay here
and have another drink with me.

You're smart.

Don't be too smart.

Harry.

Excuse me,
how do you know that lady?

She's a guest.
Can I leave her a note?

It's urgent.

Which floor, sir? Three, please.

LOUD YAWN >

Excuse me. Long hours?
Yeah, very long.

Mind you, I bet they pay you
a fortune. Hmm... yeah!

You English. Make funny jokes
that are not so funny. True.

LIFT BELL RINGS

After you, sir. Thank you.

Excuse me.

How would you like
to boost your pay?

I would like to.

How much would it cost me
to get five minutes in this room?

I'm not going to take anything
or do anything.

I just want a look around.

Nobody need know. Five minutes.

500.

500, OK. Tell you what,

why don't we split the difference

and call it thirty quid?

Terrific. Five minutes.

Harry!

LABOURED BREATHING

You said nobody was going
to get hurt!

It's what Styles wanted.
Who... Who's Styles?

'He has some information that he's
willing to pass on to you.

'Your brother, Mark.

'I'm following the instructions
of my client.

'I want you to find someone
for him.

'Joseph Francis Collins.
I believe you know him?'

RADIO: 'The news headlines this
hour. Prime Minister Brian Worsley

'has responded for the first time

'to allegations about his
financial involvement

'with Australian mining
company Goldseam.'

Your critics say that because of
the ongoing allegations

about your financial arrangements...
They're untrue.

A total fabrication...
Because of these allegations,

you do not have support
in your own party,

let alone the minority parties.
No, no, no, I completely refuse...

Why aren't they coming out for you?

I do have support in my own party.

What I'm trying to do
is build a coalition.

Harry? What?
What are we looking for?

Anything that will help us
find Mr Joseph Collins.

I've got some blow if you want it.

DANCE MUSIC

SOUND OF ROADWORKS

RADIO: extraordinary allegations

made in yesterday's papers
about the Prime Minister,

we have the man himself here.
Good morning, Prime Minister.
Good morning.

You were on TV last night
denying the allegations.

Yet this morning, RDO media
have published a document

which appear to show that Goldseam,
the Australian mining company

at the centre of this affair,

set up the accounts you say you knew
nothing of in April last year.

Look, I've got no way of knowing
what Goldseam did or didn't do.

But what I can say is, with
all the emphasis I can command,

neither I nor my family
have any control over access
to these accounts...

Thought you said it wouldn't happen
again. Michael's been arrested.

Want to go home to your mummy?

You're not going home with
a charge like this in front of you.

What happened?

He nicked a bloody car.

Have they charged him yet?

Yeah. They've given him bail,
so he should be out soon.

This way.

Are you OK?

If you could come this way, please.

I'll be back in a minute.

Listen, don't worry.

Worse case, you'll get five years.

I'm kidding. They'll give you a rap
on the knuckles.

Why did you do it?

Michael? Who are you?

I'm your father. No, my father left.

What were you thinking?
I'm sorry.

Go get in the car.

Thanks for coming.

You should go home and shower.

Change your clothes.
Listen, Lauren...

Thank you for telling me
about Michael.

It's OK.

You're late.
Yeah, I had a heavy night.

ANSWERPHONE BEEPS

'Harry, it's Frances.'

Should be interesting.

'I don't understand, Harry... '
Turn it off.

What did I do wrong?
I don't deserve this... Turn it off!

'You won't even talk to me,
you won't even... '

Matt!

ANSWERPHONE BEEPS

Call Barter Court Chambers.

See if you can get me ten minutes
with Nigel Fountain.

What do I tell him?
Tell him it's about the Quirke case.

You've got the hearing at Highbury.
I need to find Joe Collins.

Call Lisa, see if she'll cover.
You'll get struck off
if you're not careful.

Thanks for your concern(!)
The concern's me and my job.
Don't forget Frank Hanna!

I don't want to say anything that
could inflame

an already volatile situation.

Yeah, but you just have.
Haven't you?

Look, let's be clear.
We face grave challenges.

People have to put aside their
narrow, partisan interests

and pull together for the nation.

Because some people, backed by
certain media organisations

with their own agenda,

simply do not want to see
a second coalition

and will do everything they can
to derail us.

Well, that was the beleaguered
Prime Minister

talking to me earlier today.

And I'm joined now by the man
increasingly seen

as the front runner
to challenge Worsley.

That is, of course,
Alexander Wentworth.

Good afternoon. Good afternoon.

Are you going to challenge
the Prime Minister?

Listen, I haven't been saying that.

What I'm saying is this country
cannot continue to back

a morally bankrupt Prime Minister

when we are on the verge of crisis.
That's no exaggeration.

The Prime Minister says,
"There are people who do not want

"political stability, who would
prefer uncertainty and disorder".

Are you one of those people?
Listen,

I know the novels of Dan Brown too.
I'm afraid my right honourable
friend

is confusing fact with fiction.
It's a preposterous thing to say.
Paranoia.

That's fine.

I didn't know anyone still drank
Valpolicella.

I thought it was more or less plonk.

They've improved it.

It's very drinkable now.
Thank you.

You're right. Very tasty. Cheers.

Cheers.

Ah, here he is. The man
of the hour. Sorry I'm late.

Alex.

Protestors again. Impossible
to get through central London.

Who'd have thought rioting in London
would get to become

practically a daily occurrence?
Indeed.

You were marvellous on The Today
Programme. You were terrific.

They're always horribly snide,
but by the end, you'd won them over.

Thank you, James. You're principled
and have integrity.

Something friend Worsley
could do with.

I think it's a bit too late
for that, don't you?

Speak of the devil.

You'd think forming a government

might be more important
than having lunch.

Alexander. Brian.

Hello, Elspeth. Hello, Brian.
You know James Morpeth?

You've known me
since Cambridge, Elspeth.

Do you think I would take bribes?

If you want to give us
your side of the story,

I'm more than happy
to arrange an interview.

I've already said I know nothing

about these so-called
offshore accounts.

Enjoy your lunch.

Poor Brian.

Dead man walking.

What's this?

Just some facts to put Worsley
in his political grave.

All right? All right?

Is Dean in? Dean who? Dean Stubbs.

No. Sorry, mate.
Don't know any Dean Stubbs.

Do you mind if I have
a little look around?

I've been thinking of joining a gym.
Yeah, you should.

I'm looking for
a friend of Joseph Collins.

Joe's friend
comes in here quite a lot.

He's a boxer.

His name's Dean.

Dean Stubbs. You're Dean, aren't ya?

Oof!

Yeah?

Know how many times I called you?

Frank, how's it going?

You're the lawyer, you tell me.

Yeah, all right. Listen,
I'm on my way. 'Get here lively, H.'

The judge has already told the jury
he'll accept a majority. OK.

ENGINE STARTS

Cheers, appreciate it.

Thank you.

I shall see you later.

Sorry.

Thought for a bit there you
weren't going to show, H.

Hey, I got you a result, didn't I?
Hey! I'm an innocent man.

If you can't get an innocent man
off, what are you good for?

Well, the innocent ones
are the hardest, believe me.

You don't look too good, H.

Can I have a word?

I met a woman. Nice?

Yeah, she's beautiful. Intelligent.

Looks like she's got a few quid.

You should be a very happy man.
Well, on paper.

Trouble is, I think she's trying to
set me up. For what?

The Braddick murder.

What do you mean "set you up"?
Who is she?

She's a solicitor
acting for Stevie Quirke,

she wanted me to go and see him,
so I did.

What's Stevie got to do with
Braddick?

He said he saw Paul Hillman.

You got to be fucking kidding me.

That's what he said.

Frank, I want
to ask a little favour.

It might not be, er...

completely legal.

Harry. What? Hillman's dead.

I know. Mark's dead.

I know. You want my advice?

No.

HE SIGHS

Is your vision at all affected?
No, it's fine.

Headache? Yeah.

How often do you take cocaine?

Hmm?

Well, I had, er...
a little line or two last night.

Is it a regular thing? No.

We've taken an X-ray
but I'm going to recommend an MRI.

I don't think it's that bad.
Just to be on the safe side.

You were recommended by a friend
of mine. Gina Hawkes?

I'll make you an appointment.

There'll probably be
a bit of a wait.

She said the Zopiclone you gave her
is really helping with her insomnia.

She's a beautiful woman...

isn't she?

You'll need a tetanus shot.

As I said, it's not that bad,
it was just a punch.

There wasn't really any blood.

Take your jacket off
and roll up your sleeve.

Roll up your sleeve.

Some other time.

What do you think?

Doable. But doable for what?

What do you want?

Frank, I'm trying
to find out who Gina Hawkes is.

If she's on his books,
he'll have her medical records,
an address, something.

OK.

You know it's all computerized.
I got a guy.

Call me when you're done.
You'll answer this time? Here.

Here you go, expenses.

Kentish Town, please, mate.

H.

Listen to me.

Back when I was working...

some mornings, I'd be driving
to the job and I'd look out

and see all these people doing
ordinary things, you know?

Waiting at a bus-stop, buying
a coffee, buying a sandwich

and I'd, like, look at them
and I'd think,

"Why am I putting
myself through this?

"They're all relaxed, happy,
probably. Me?

"I'm on my way to pull a robbery...

"the blood's beating in my veins,

"my head feels light,
I'm feeling sick."

One time I turned to Wendell and
I said, "You know, we could stop.

"We could go to a caff, have
a coffee, read the paper, go home.

"We don't have to do this."

You understand what I'm telling you?

Yeah, and what did old Wendell say?

Long as you understand.

Cos actions have consequences...

that's just the law of nature.

I need to find out who killed Mark.

And why.

Yeah, even if it puts you
in prison for 20 years?

TAXI PULLS AWAY

MOBILE RINGS

Yeah?

'This is Gina Hawkes.'

Where are you? I can be with you
in 20 minutes. We can have lunch.

I'm on my way to Paris. 'I'll get
the train. We'll have dinner.'

Have you thought about
what we discussed?

I've thought about you, Gina.
Constantly. Day and night,

if you really want to know.

Will you take the job?

If I can have a down payment
of £10,000.

'Call the Hodgkins Truss Willson
number and leave your bank details.'

The money will be in your account
later today.

Blimey, you work fast. I like that.
So where are we having dinner?

'I like Paris.'

I expect an update, twice a day,
one at midnight, one at 7am.

'If at any time there is
anything significant,

'you are to call me at once.'

How do you define "significant"?
For instance, you've become

'a significant part of my life.
' You'll receive the

balance of your fee when
you locate Joe Collins.

Once you do, you are not to let him
out of your sight until I get there.

Know what? If I'm ever in trouble
I want you as my lawyer.

In fact, I'd get in trouble
to have you as my lawyer.

Call me if there's anything else
you need. I'm sure there will be.

Goodbye, Mr Venn.
Gina. One more thing.

Have you ever heard of a bloke
called Jason Styles?

No. Why? You know what, you'd be
smashing in the witness box.

If I didn't know better, I'd believe
you were telling the truth.

Just find Joe Collins, Mr Venn.
Harry.

TANNOY: 'The Eurostar service
to Paris Gare du Nord,

'calling at Lille Gare Europe,
is now ready for boarding.'

HE SIGHS

MOBILE RINGS

Hello?

DEEP VOICE: 'Get out of there.'

What? 'Get out of your office,
Harry. Now.'

Who is this?

Hello?

Matt. Come on.

Where are we going?

Come on!

So what's going on?
I don't know what's going on.

Someone phoned me
and said to get out the office.

What, is Frances coming with a gun?
Just shut up, Matt!

All right, calm down.

Look, you can stay out here
if you want. I've got work to do.

EXPLOSION

ALARMS AND SCREAMS

Based on 30 years as a copper, I'd
say someone's trying to kill you.

This woman's got a file on me.

The wrong type of person
could take advantage of that.

ANGRY SHOUTS

What do we want to achieve?
The end of Brian Worsley.

Don't come to Paris, Mr Venn.
Maybe she's in trouble?

If she is, take my advice, run.

If you find anything about Quirke
that helps, I'd be very grateful.

Something big is going on here.
Somebody tried to kill me! Sorry, H.

What you're mixed up in...

I don't want to be mixed up in.
