Killing Eve (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - I Don't Want to Be Free - full transcript

You go in, find the doctor,
kill Nadia and come out.

- We need to find who?
- Anna.

She is the wife of the man
Oksana murdered.

The British. They're helping me.

Konstantin?

He's working with them.

I need you to look into
any private correspondence

- between Konstantin...
- And?

Your mother.

- Are you going to kill me?
- Mm-hm.

Hello! Let me out. I did it.



Hey!

Let me out!

search Steam for PROJECT WARLOCK

- Oh.
- Oh. Good morning.

Have you just... been to breakfast?

Uh, no, but... um, I'm hungry.

- You?
- I'm heading there now.

Did you wear those clothes yesterday?

Listen, Vlad's had a change of heart.

They're giving us Nadia.

Oh, really? That's... great.

He's arranged for us
to take her out today.

Fantastic. And, you know, I'm so sorry...

Um, have you not...



Sorry.

Oh, good.

Hi. Yeah, I'm just with some...

Oh? How bad?

Oh, Christ.

Of course.

Where are you?

Alright, I'll, um, be right down.

Mm. Mm, well...

That's, at least, some good news.

Who was that?

Nadia has been murdered in prison.

The good news is the buffet's open.

Come on.

Did you have a late night, too?

Sorry?

What happened?

Nadia was attacked by another inmate.

- How?
- Just a fight.

Happens all the time in those places.

- Really?
- Mm.

Does it happen to valuable
government sources

who are about to be
removed from the prison?

Sometimes.

We were supposed
to take Nadia out today.

- This isn't a coincidence.
- You can see it is a blow.

For all of us.
But these sausages are so good.

But she was our only lead to the Twelve.

Who did it?

A little angry girl
called Natalie, I think.

Well, I want to meet her. Today.

- Now.
- Eve...

It's not possible.

If Nadia's death was linked
to your interest in her,

I can't risk that happening again.

- So you think there's a link?
- No. But I have to...

- Please don't bullshit me.
- Eve!

We would appreciate any information
you feel you can pass on to us.

We will wait and hear from you
about developments.

It's been good to see you again.

I advise you to have a sausage
and go home.

You're welcome to stay
but you haven't been invited.

- Kenny's here?
- I thought it was time

he got out of the office.

He can help with the Nadia business.

- We have to go to the prison.
- You can't.

We need permission and we've
prodded them too much already.

They're sensitive about something.

- What if it was Villanelle?
- It's not all about her, Eve.

Don't pull that face.

- What face?
- That determined face.

It's not gonna happen. Stop it.

I can't.

Oh, thank God.

Privet.

- Oh... a home away from home?
- Mm, good, isn't it?

Sorry about the smell.

How much money
do you make doing this?

Give me one phone call

and I will give you more money
than you earn in a year.

Just give it a second.

I can do it. Ooh,
my tits are about to drop off.

Listen, it sounds mad,
but what if the Twelve

put Villanelle back
in the prison to kill Nadia?

- Alright, listen...
- Or she broke in there.

She can get in and out of anywhere.

It must have been easy for them
to pay a random inmate

- to confess to the attack.
- Eve, there is a limit to...

Nadia must have had
something decent on the Twelve.

We can at least ask if she
contacted anyone while she was there.

I'll check CCTV for visitors.

No. If we're found probing,
it will make things worse.

We have to be above board now.

- We need to find Anna.
- Anna isn't relevant now.

Yes, she is.

Nadia said Anna was the reason
Villanelle went to prison.

She killed her husband.

- Yes, but why?
- Oh, Eve, please!

There's no record
of Villanelle's family on file.

Anna is our only lead to how
she ended up where she is.

If she is back in Russia,
she might go to Anna's.

Big "if". And I'm not interested in how.

Villanelle came to be a killer.

- Well, I am.
- Why? It doesn't help us.

You told me to find her.

That is the job that you gave me.

Yes.

And I can take it away.

Kenny, will you please organize Elena

to fly you both back to London?
There's nothing to investigate here.

- Wait? What?
- But I just got here.

Thank you.

I'll follow on.
I have a few things to tie up.

Just let me know
when you're on your way.

What things?

Go back to London.

Traveling makes you rude.

Are we leaving?

- Of course we're not leaving.
- Good.

You need to see these.

Uh, my understanding
of solitary confinement

is that it is solitary.

Hello, Inga.

It's not even worth
trying to speak to you, is it?

You smell of cabbage.

Dated '77 to '78,
all addressed to Mum.

- Oh, my God!
- I know.

- These are filthy.
- I know.

What's a butterfly bead?

I decided not to google that.

Where did you find these?

She has a safe behind her
bookcase in her study at home.

Are you okay about this?

About her being dodgy
or about her being filthy?

Both.

I'm not... entirely surprised
by either, to be honest.

Do you really have to give them to Vlad?

I have to give him something.

It might break his heart, though.

What? Why?

Uh... no reason.

Could they... be coded?

Maybe.

Go back over them with a fine-tooth comb.

- Sorry.
- Right.

I went through her old photos, too,

pulled out ones
with any sexy men in Russia.

Mm.

There. Oh, my God! There he is.

Younger, but him.
They certainly look close.

Yeah. And here's Anna, too.

She's a language teacher
in a school just outside Moscow.

Address. Number.

God, you're good.

Okay. I'm gonna head there now.

Listen.

If you want to go back
to London, I understand.

In fact, it may be best.

I'm going to get into
the prison security cameras.

I'll scan for anyone matching
Villanelle's description

and let you know if she comes up.

I won't tell Carolyn anything.

Okay. Are you sure?

It's fine. I'm a professional.

I know. Thank you.

- What?
- Excuse me.

Do you think I will be allowed
to make a phone call?

No.

You have a very pretty nose.

I don't like girls.

Well, you haven't tried this one.

Have you finished trying yet?

I'm assuming she isn't actually catatonic.

Inga will be not easily seduced, either.

A word of advice:

Don't fall asleep.

Rarh!

Is she... Is she a popular teacher?
I mean, is she good?

Yeah, she's best.

Um, her English is much
more good than in my mouth.

- Oh.
- Uh... Ah. She's there.

Thank you. Spasibo.

Okay, so for French and English,

- it's a little different...
- Anna, I'm sorry.

I'm not from a university.

I work with the UK authorities.

Okay.

I'm investigating Oksana Astankova.

I don't want to bring up old wounds.

She's dead.

Yes.

Yes, she is.

What do you need to know now?

We think she had connections
with a very dangerous organization

and we're trying to work out
why they would have chosen her,

to help get insight into them.

Well, she was a punctual student.

She was very good at languages.

She liked attention and she castrated
and murdered my husband.

Would they have liked that?

Possibly.

I just need to talk to someone
who knew her before.

Anything you can give me

could eventually protect
other people from getting hurt.

I may have a few letters from her at home.

You can have a look at those.

Thank you. That would be great.

Do you eat cake?

Uh... yeah.

I have a huge cake I made yesterday

and I don't know what to do with it.

Do you know where we're going?

To the court.

- What should I do?
- I don't know. Run. You're free.

I don't want to be free.

What?

- I don't want to be free.
- Really?

Jesus. Look at me.

Are you sure?

I would rather die...

You made it. Well done.

Clever girl.

Please... come in.

Ahh.

You were hoping for Konstantin?

- Is he okay?
- That's sweet.

Please. I have a lot to explain to you

and a lot for you
to have to try and understand.

Okay.

My name is Anton.

Would you mind taking a seat,
please, darling? Thank you.

Okay.

So... here is the big news...
for you, my dear.

I will be taking over from Konstantin
in this relationship. Hm?

They really do just...
send another one, don't they?

Well, I wouldn't put it quite like that.

- Please sit down.
- No.

- Sit down.
- No.

Hand delivery.

Your new target.

I'm afraid this one might be a little...

challenging.

There are clothes in there.

I asked for something... Mm...

trendy.

Konstantin said that's how
you like to spend your money.

We will keep your passport
and your credit cards

until you have completed the job
and returned to this place.

You have until tomorrow night.

And, after that,
you will speak Russian to me.

No more English.

And that way... we can build...

a special trust.

Now... do you have any questions?

- Are you always like this?
- Like what?

I don't know if there
will be anything useful but...

You want milk?

Uh, yes, please.

Anything useful?

Um...

She always wrote to you in French?

Oh, she loved the French lessons the most.

Then English.

This... isn't "a few" letters, Anna.

This is...

She had a...

fixation.

- Was it reciprocated?
- I was her teacher.

- I was married.
- But...

was it reciprocated?

I'm sorry. I'm not judging you. I just...

I just need to know
as much about her as I can.

We were told a new student was coming.

History of violence. Antisocial behavior.

Her mother was dead.
Her father was a drunk.

She arrived at the school and...

everyone stepped back.

Everyone.

So I stepped forward.
Extra time. Extra lessons.

Extra love.

- What was she like?
- Oh...

She was so intelligent and funny.

- And rude.
- Hm.

I liked her.

What happened?

Well, then she wanted
more lessons after school.

She was good at making you feel bad,
so she was here a lot.

And it was clear
that she didn't like Max,

but I thought it was because
she didn't trust men.

Well, how did he feel?

He thought she was cold.

I thought he was jealous.

No, but she sent me gifts.

Clothes, perfume.

She must have stolen them.
Expensive French designers.

Why do you think
she did what she did to him?

She was quite literal.

Days before, she said that
the only reason I loved him

was because he had a penis.

I told her that she might be right.

And then, that night, I came home
and she was in the apartment.

There were balloons everywhere
and a huge cake,

and she was jumping around and...

then she showed me what she had done.

And she said it like it was a good thing.

I went mad.

I told her she was evil and crazy and...

and then she was picked
up by the police...

and arrested.

And I lost my life.

I lost my Maxi.

Oh, and that's what you get...

for being a good person.

Did she write to you from prison?

She said she was going to get out

and come back to me.

Then I heard that she had died.

Anna, I need to tell you something.

Oksana isn't dead.

She escaped prison

and she's been working for an organization
who has protected her,

and I have been trying to find her.

She isn't dead?

No.

And I think she's in Moscow.

Maybe you should stay with a friend
for a little while,

just in case she makes contact.

How is she?

Uh, I don't know.

Ohh!

But if there's any sign of her -

I mean any -

if anything comes up at all,

will you call me?

Please.

Who told you she had died?

A man came to the apartment.

He said he was aware
of my relationship with Oksana -

she had been spinning lies again.

He told me he wanted
to break it to me personally.

Would... Would you remember
what this man looked like?

Is he in this photo?

Yes, that's him, with the beard.

Sexy man.

Papa! Papa!

Papa! Papa!

Papa! Papa!

Papa!

You've never called me sausage before.

Villanelle...

Mm-hm.

This arrived about a month
after he told me she'd died.

It's French.

Well... I thought that she'd
got someone else to send it.

But now...

This coat just...
showed up on your doorstep?

Yes.

You can have it if you want.

I'll never wear it.

No, I...

I think it should stay here.

Do you have a paper and a pen?

I can give you my number.

- Where's my family?
- You abandoned me.

I was protecting you.
They want you dead.

- No, they want you dead.
- Who told you that?

- Anton.
- Where is he?

He's dead.

He told you to kill me?

Yep.

Who else is dead, Villanelle?

Where are they?

They are screaming in a cupboard somewhere.

Thank you.

Thank you for keeping
my family in a cupboard.

I'm not stupid.

I said thank you.

Tell me what you want
and I will make sure...

Your wife is big.

Strong.

And your daughter is so loud.

They look so alike.

Their little freckles.

What do you want?

I want to do my job.

Really well.

If I make this easy for you,
will you release my wife and my girl?

How do you want to go?

I have pills.

And I love a proper whiskey
in a proper glass.

Go on, then.

Why do they want me to kill you?

They wanted me to leave you in prison.

I was trying to help the British
to get you out and they found out.

And why did they want me in there?
I'm amazing.

Do you know
how many times I had to argue

to get you another chance?

- More or less than five?
- More.

- More or less than ten?
- It doesn't matter.

- Where are your pills?
- In my drawer.

Get them.

Hm?

I want the names of the Twelve.

I'm not a keeper.

What's that?

There are a few people that
are trusted with the names.

I'm... I'm not one or them.

Then give me the name of a keeper.

I don't know them.

Mm.

Take the pills.

- I want to tell you...
- Take some more.

I want to tell you about you
for a second. Okay?

I am so proud of you.

I love you.

Yeah.

I love you more than... this house.

I love you more than my family.

You are the best thing
that ever happened to me...

to the organization...

and to the future.

You know, I try to be angry at you...

I try to discipline you.

I try to trick you into
do what I want you to do and I fail.

And I fail because I love you.

You are more powerful
than any other person

because of what you have in here.

You're so different.

You have something strong.
You should be proud.

Take the pills.

To dignity in death.

You hit me with a log!

You hit me with a log!

I am going to skin your family alive!

Why French designers?

I always wanted to live in Paris.

- Have the cake.
- Ohh...

Oh, I hate you for giving me this.

No, but thank you.
And thank you for your time.

Maybe you should stay
with a friend for a while just in case.

If you find her, will you inform me?

I'd like to see her again.

- Why?
- I'd like to...

forgive her.

It would really help me.

Now, be careful.

You're her type.

Good night, Anna.

Proschay.

Proschay.

Did you ever have sex with Oksana?

No!

Hey, it's Nico.
Leave me a message.

Then text me to tell me you have

because I always forget to listen to them.

Hi, darling. It's me again.

Please, will you... I just...
I just wanna talk to you.

You know,
I'm gonna come home tomorrow.

Can... Can I see you?

I just...

I want you to know, darling,

you are the most important
thing in the world to me. I just...

Can you call me back,
or send a message, or something?

Love you.

I don't know. Was it a crush?

A fixation? A... A relationship?

You know she sent her clothes,
and perfume too?

Yeah, you said.

Did I?

Oh, my God.

I'm getting delirious.

Or jealous.

You might want to keep
your husband's todger locked up.

Kenny!

What do you think they were?

They...

had um...

There was... They had... kissed...

Oh, my God! Who are you?

You can say "todger"
but you can't say "sex."

No. I know, but...

"todger" sounds sweet.

- Really?
- The other's, like, too real.

- Penis?
- Yeah.

I think I should call Niko again.

Do you think I should call Niko?

When can I go to bed?

Well... Oh, we checked
out of the hotel, so...

I don't know, when we get home.

I mean, there can't be much more of this.

Wait. What was that? That one?

The way she walks.

Can you replay it?

Are there any other angles?

Ah...

Can you go in?

It's her! Oh, my God.

- Really?
- Definitely! Yes!

- Oh, my God!
- I knew it!

They put her in there to get Nadia.

- Jesus! When was this?
- Uh... Today... 12:04.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Yes!

This feels great! We have her!

Where are they taking her?

Into one of the visitors' rooms?

Okay, you know what?

There are cameras in there, I remember.

Come on, get us in there. Come on.

Oh, yeah, that's right. That's right.

You come in, whoever you are.

You come in and show us
your dodgy little face.

- Villanelle is in the prison.
- Somebody broke her out.

She attacked Konstantin
and kidnapped his daughter.

- Why are you shouting?!
- I will kill you!

- I will kill you!
- Hey, don't look!

Don't turn around.
I don't want to see it.

She's been told to kill me.
She might contact you.

- Why?
- You had a connection.

Why does she want to kill you?

If I told you, I would really
have to kill you.

- We can't confront her.
- Frightened of your mother?

Isn't everyone?

Where is Carolyn?

Oksana! Tell me what you want.

Please.
