Rellik (2017–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript

- We shot a guy reaching for his phone.
- He killed seven people.

What if someone slipped through
the cracks on the way here?

What if we killed an innocent man?

You're still a suspect in this case.

I didn't kill those people and
I didn't do that to your face.

I don't know how I missed it.

Steven Mills was one of
Isaac Taylor's patients.

We're talking about leading the arrest

of the person who attacked you.

If you want me off the case, you're
going to have to make it an order.

I can't stay here.



- So where are you going to go?
- I don't know.

I still see you the way I did.

I don't see the scars.

I love you, Gabriel.

You should go.

You end your affair
with that woman today.

Don't speak to me like I'm
the only guilty person here.

You're not going to let me
live, are you? I'm sorry.

Being a schizophrenic
doesn't make you a murderer.

No answer's ever that simple.

Rellik 1x02 "Episode 02 "
Sep 18 , 2017

All this burned to shit for a laptop...

You think our killer did this?

Hm.

Things will get back to
normal soon enough, y'know?

Right.

Night, boss.

DOOR BUZZER

Hey!

Sorry for just turning up.

How are you feeling?

Are you checking up on me, or..?

No! I was worried about you.

No, you weren't.

I just wanted to see you, OK?

It's always OK.

- Can I get you a drink?
- No, no, I'm fine.

- I wasn't sure if...
- I just want to...

Sorry, you go.

No. You. Really.

I just wanted to ask...
what you said last night...

..did you mean it?

Course.

Why?

Why?

Because this... These
scars, they're not you.

Nice sentiment. But we
both know that's not true.

Isn't it? It's a fact.

What happened to you
shouldn't have to change us.

There's things that...

There's things that come into your life,

that become a part of it...

..unexpected, you know?

Takes a while to notice it, even,

cos sometimes you get caught up
looking forward at the road ahead

and...it's only when you stop and
you think that you even realise...

..these are things
you can't live without.

Turns out you're one of these things.

You don't have to pretend
that it's not hard to look at.

No. No, I-I don't.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

- I just...
- It's fine.

It's fine.

It's... It's OK.

It's OK. You just need to relax.

You need to not think.

SIREN WAILS

All right!

You lot aren't keen on
being invited in, are you?

It was you, wasn't it?

I don't know what you're on about.

You had the laptop destroyed.
The fire-that was you.

I've been here since my lawyer
was kind enough to get me

out of that shit-hole police station.

It smells of budget cuts.

What was on the laptop?

Do you want a cup of tea?

Just tell me. Stop giving me
this shit and say something real.

You're not ready, are you?

To be let out into the real world.

Me, I've looked this way so long,

I forget it's there most of the time.

Even when I get comments, you
know? Have you had them yet?

Never directly to you, of
course, unless they're kids,

or they're just that drunk.

Normally, you just overhear.

Overnight, it's like
you become a celebrity.

Everybody craning their necks,

people double-taking to see if they
really saw what they think they saw,

and a few of them go out
of their way to look at you

and force a smile.

Cos they're good people.

And then they go on their way...

..cos freaks like us don't matter.

What are you doing?

Can I get changed first?

Oi!

I'm talking to you.

Ow! Fuck you!

All right, all right!

I haven't got my phone.

Can I get some shoes on?

Boo-hoo.

All right! Ooh!

So, I guess you're all wondering
why I sent that e-mail round?

Could not care less!

Well, thanks for coming.

So, it's been a long, weird day,

but at least no-one
was hurt in the fire.

And I know we all just want to go to
the pub and join the IT department.

But before then, I have
an announcement to make.

Because-truth is-I have to make a scene.

It's what I do, so...

..me and our lovely
receptionist Alex here...

- we're engaged!
- Hey!

And you're all invited!

Apart from you, Mike.

HE MOUTHS

I didn't even know they were screwing.

You'll make a great detective
one day. Eye for detail.

It was fun last night, wasn't it?

All right, I know.

As if anyone would get
anything from that, anyway!

Has anyone got any leads
on who started the fire?

Boss was looking into
something, but no-one's sharing.

Wonder what was on that
laptop that was so important.

Asim?

It was a fun night, yeah.

What's the plan, then?

Keep driving around all night

until you bore me into
some kind of confession?

This is ridiculous!

No way could I have set a
fire in a police station.

Maybe you didn't.

Maybe somebody did it for you.

We'll find out.

Where are we going?

You're not asking me
questions. Not any more.

You're losing it. One of those days?

Shut up!

You're a mess! It's not
just me, is it? What else?

Girlfriend troubles?

Wife?

Wife.

Maybe your kids can't look at you

cos you got a face like a waffle.

Waffle face, they call you, don't they?

I bet you thought you had it all.

I remember watching you
on TV when this all started

and you had this look
about you, this confidence,

like nothing could touch you.

Out catching the bad
guys during the day,

wife and kids waiting for you at night.

Then this happened. And you
realised that underneath it all,

you're as rotten and
ugly on the outside now

as you are on the inside.

I've been there.

TYRES SQUEAL

Oh, my God!

HORNS BLARE

Stop the car!

Gabriel, stop the car!

Stop the car. Stop the fucking car!

Oh, my God!

What the fuck are you doing? Stop it!

Jesus Christ! Stop it!

What's wrong with you? You
could've fucking killed us!

Let's go again.

No! Christ! Please...
Just... Just leave it, no.

Tell me what was on the laptop.

You'll lose your job for this.

Assuming anyone believes you.

There's traffic
cameras, speed cameras...

Not on this stretch.
They've been out for months.

What was on the laptop?

You'll kill us both, just so I tell you?

What have I got left to lose?

Well, I know what that's like.

But then I realised there were things,

things I didn't know I had
that I couldn't live without.

It's not the end, is it?
You're alive, aren't you?

So stop feeling sorry for yourself.

Stop kamikaze-ing into oncoming traffic.

I can stop, when you tell me.

I didn't do this to
you. OK? It wasn't me.

And I didn't do the
other attacks, either.

When I did what I did to
that prick, it was once.

Because of how he hurt my mum.

I wanted him to suffer
the same way she did,

learn to be a fucking human.
Don't you sometimes wish that?

That the people that
just look at you like that

could be in your shoes?

Just for a moment?

No. I don't.

You know I'm not bluffing.

Don't make me do it again,
Christine. What was on the laptop?

What were you trying to hide?

It had the recordings.

My sessions with Isaac.

Bastard recorded everything and
he had it all stored on his laptop.

And not just mine, other
patients of his. Proper psychos.

Some sick stuff on there.

Some of it was old, like,
decades old... This one guy,

killed his whole family,
through the night, one by one,

and he talked it through like he
was going through a shopping list.

And there was another girl... There
was another girl...like, 12, maybe.

She watched her mother
die in front of her.

Her dad stabbed her in the
stomach and when Isaac asked her

how it made her feel, she
said, "What do you mean?"

And not because she didn't
understand, because she didn't feel.

I get it.

His patients talked about things
in their lives that messed them up.

So you were on these recordings?

Yeah, yeah. Yours truly. Made the cut.

So what did you say, in the session?

What was so important that you
had to have that laptop destroyed?

- What was on it?
- I didn't set that fire!

- What was on it?
- Oh, my God, does it matter?

It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.

It was mine. It was private. It was...

God, he had no right.
Isaac, he had no right...

Tell me.

You've got kids, right?

Are you a good dad?

Do you show up to their concerts?

Do you read 'em stories
when they go to sleep?

Yeah, I bet you did. My dad,
he put me to bed, but... Yeah.

A different way most nights.

He told me it was my fault,

and that I couldn't tell
anyone or they'd blame me,

and I believed him,
course I did-I was eight.

What did I know?
Anyway, my mum found out

and she ain't no pushover, my mum.

She's... She's the hard sort.

She grew up hard, and she knew people,

like, people on the estate
who could help her out.

And so one day, my
dad... My dad just, erm...

..disappeared.

The same way he would sometimes
when he went on one of his benders,

except...this time he didn't come back.

So, on that tape...

Oh, God...

Well, he's got a way of making
you talk about stuff, that doctor.

I love my mum and she don't deserve
to be punished for protecting me.

You have some imagination.

Why would I lie?

Because that's who you are.

The guy that drives down the
wrong side of the motorway

at 100 miles an hour is
telling me I've got problems?

That's like Josef Fritzl telling
you how to raise your kids!

You-you asked me, OK? I told you.

Go look into it all you want.

I'm sure it won't take
you long, Supercop.

Go lock my mum up for protecting
me, for looking out for me,

if that's what you want.

- Did you kill all those people?
- No.

No. And if you think I did, prove it.

Get out.

Here? I'm not wearing any shoes...

I said get out!

You're mental.

Properly mental.

You hardly ever see an E-type
in such amazing condition.

So I've heard.

It's a beauty.

How much do you want for it?

The ad didn't say.

How much do you think you should pay?

I've got 30k.

I know, I know, it's not...

Well, I mean, the ad said you'd
listen to any offers, but Christ,

we both know this is worth twice that.

I'm sorry, I really didn't
mean to waste your time...

How about you give me five for it?

- I don't understand.
- Five grand.

Yeah, but...it's worth more. A lot more.

Do you want it or not?

It's just... What's wrong with
it? I mean, it's not stolen, is it?

All the documents are there.

I can't drive it. I
don't want it any more.

I want it off my hands, so I
don't have to think about it.

Ever again.

So, last time, do we have a deal?

Yeah. Of course.

Any idea what's up with Elaine today?

Why should I know?

You're the boss.

I thought she may have called
you, that's all I meant.

She's ill.

You know as much as I do.

Christine Levison? We have a
warrant to search your premises

under the suspicion
of theft of a laptop.

What? Hold on, I...

You want to tell me
what this is all about?

We were thinking you
might be able to tell us.

You're that detective, aren't you?

The one who was attacked.

I saw you on the news.

I read about you in the paper.

Ma'am, if you wouldn't mind, can we...?

I feel like all I heard
about for a week was you,

and now here you are on my doorstep.

Isn't that strange?

- This matches the description.
- OK.

Well, if it wasn't strange
before... it's about to get that way.

We're going to need you
to come to the station

- to answer some questions.
- Questions?

About why you stole the laptop.

After you.

They rushed you back to work fast.

Aren't they worried about
how you can do your job?

Talking to people and...

Cos you're not like
everyone else any more.

Why are they trying to
pretend that you are?

Take her to interview
room three, Martin.

This way.

LATCH CLICKS, TOILET FLUSHES

Are you ready to order, Miss?

Oh. Sorry, er, the...

Hey...

Hi.

It has been a very
long time, has it not?

It has.

I'm surprised you recognise me.

Of course. You and your
father would always sit here.

You were a child but, yes,
you look just the same.

Oh, I don't. But thanks for saying so.

This very table, every
Tuesday lunch time.

You would have pasta with tomato sauce.

Not the good kind, though.

And cheddar cheese!

You've got a very good memory.

And how is he, your father?

He's...

He, er... He passed away, actually.

Oh. I'm so sorry...

It's fine. Really.

The lunch is on me.

No, that's OK.

Please. For your father. For you.

Thank you.

- Hi.
- ON PHONE: Hey.

I'm sorry to call. I
know you're not well...

It's fine.

I just thought you should
know we've got a suspect.

She stole the laptop from
Isaac Taylor's office.

Taylor?

Why, what's on it?

Not sure yet.

I just thought you should know.

If you want to call me,
Gabriel, and ask how I am...

..you are allowed to just call me.

I just wanted to update you on the case.

OK.

OK.

Get better.

Number one or number two?

You know why you're here, don't you?

I don't know how that
laptop ended up in my room.

I've had friends staying with me...

Save it. We know it
belongs to Isaac Taylor.

You're a patient of his, right?

- Right.
- Why'd you take it?

You know what happened to Isaac's
partner, hmm? At the centre?

- You can't have missed that.
- I didn't steal anything.

We're going to go through it, Christine.

Find out what you wanted on there.

You could save the poor bastard
a few hours who's got to comb

through the hard drive
by just telling us.

Co-operate.

You don't like looking at me, do you?

I'm a smart woman, Detective.

You think because I live
in a council block, I'm not?

- I never said that.
- So stop treating me like I'm an idiot.

You can't hold me in
here forever. I know that.

So, I'd like to call someone.

Someone who can represent
my interests in here.

Someone who can make sure
all this is above board.

And that you're not...you
know, persecuting me.

Targeting me because of how I look.

You're here because
you stole that laptop.

We've got enough evidence of the
theft to charge you right now.

So charge me.

You're also here because
you've got a history...

We all have a history.

I paid for mine.

Looks like you did too, maybe?

Karma's a mean old
frosty bitch, isn't she?

Do you sometimes think
that? That it's some...

That it's some kind of
punishment, what happened to you?

OK, look, you need to start
answering some questions

because this-this isn't
helping you or your case, OK?

- OK, OK.
- I can handle this, Martin.

Can you? Can you take your
mind off what happened to you?

What are you going to do, then?

I don't...

You've just got to do it. Don't you?

Get it done...

I'll go and talk to her now.

Right here? Isn't it a bit...

Can I have one of those as well, please?

Do you mind if I...?

- Cheers.
- Thanks.

So...

So.

It's not really how I
pictured doing this, and...

I don't really want
to make a scene, but...

Thanks.

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

So, do you want to, uh, get married?

Is that a yes, then?

What is it you want me to say? Hmm?

"You got me! I killed them all! I
wanted the world to look like me!"

Is that what you'd like me to say?

It's over, Christine.

What a shame.

What are you going to do, hmm?

You going to carry on?

Carry on killing? Mutilating?

You won't be able to move.

Not one step without someone in
this department knowing about it.

How flattering.

I'm not used to so much attention.

Although we both know that ain't true.

- What's that supposed to mean?
- I'm one person.

I'm sure this whole department has
other priorities, other than me.

You know, actual criminals.
With actual concrete evidence.

You think because I look the
way I do, you can harass me.

And you think that's why you're here?

Isaac Taylor's business
partner, Jonas Borner.

Does that mean anything to you?

I walk past his office every week.

Two months we've been on this case,

and nothing to link any of the bodies.

No connection. You're
the closest we've got.

Even if I did steal the laptop,

how does that make me a killer?

Except how I look?

You've got a record. Assault.

So?

- KNOCK ON DOOR
- Not now!

- DOOR OPENS
- Gabriel.

Her solicitor here?

She wants to talk. She's enjoying this.

It's a game to her.

Charge her or release her.

You know how it is.

We're onto something.

Her connection to Isaac Taylor...
We should charge her on the theft.

Taylor won't press charges.

He just wants his laptop
back, above all else.

- He doesn't want her punished, he says.
- He came to us.

I know. I know, I talked to
him, but that's his position.

Whatever's on that laptop, if
there's something, we'll find it.

All right, set up surveillance.
She's not going anywhere.

What if she's the one
who did this to me?

You shouldn't be on this.

We talked about this.

No. You talked about
this and twisted my arm.

I reminded you about a
few things, that's all.

Well, let me remind you of a few things.

We do things properly around here.

You got anything?

No?

Cut her loose.

Fuck!

See you around, Detective.

PHONE VIBRATES

Yeah?

Er... Can it wait?

All right, where?

Fine.

SIREN BLARES

What are you doing in here?

Afraid to be seen with me?

I don't want to be seen with these.

You promised me it was over.

These, um...

These were taken before the attack.

You can see your scorpion tattoo.

Where'd you get these?

Christ, does it matter?

Was it you? Did you follow me?

And wait till now to tell you?

They arrived in the post this morning.

Was there a postmark?

- Or did you keep the envelope?
- Stop.

Stop pretending this is
some case you need to fix.

Who cares who sent it?

This is you, screwing your
partner in the middle of a park.

- Like a bloody animal.
- Lisa...

Are you still sleeping with her?

Does it matter?

SHE SCOFFS

Christ, Gabriel, of course it
matters. Could you at least try?

Just try and pretend you're offended.

- Can you hear yourself?
- Or upset? Or embarrassed about this?

Commanding that I come to
you, to confess my crimes,

tell you what a terrible
person I am, after...

- ..after you lied to me the way you did?
- And I'm sorry.

How many times do I have
to tell you I'm sorry?

We both made mistakes.

Mistake? You're calling
what you did a mistake?

Is this what we are now?

Because if this is all
we'll ever be then...

..then what are we doing?

I stuck with you.

All the shit you went
through all those years ago.

After Helena Parides,
you were out of control.

Remember? Just spiralling
into self-destruction.

I could have given up on you.

But I didn't.

Hannah saved you. She saved both of us.

Don't... Don't use Hannah.

Don't use Hannah in this.

I came here to ask you a question.

Just answer it and I'll go.

Are you still with Elaine?

I don't know.

It's serious, isn't it?

You and her?

What, because she still wants
me? Because I look like this?

- That's not what I meant.
- Yeah. It is. Yeah, it is.

You may find it hard to
believe, Gabriel, but I love you.

So make up your mind.

I'll wait for you tonight.

So come home early for once.

We can talk properly.

ALARM BELLS RING

SIRENS WAIL

What's going on?

Bloody fire in the IT lab. The
whole place has been evacuated.

Can't leave you alone
for one minute, can we?

LARGE EXPLOSION, GLASS SHATTERS

ALARM BELLS RING

MAN COUGHS

INAUDIBLE

You said last time we spoke, you
were having thoughts about suicide.

Well, just thoughts, you know?

It's good to... It helps to imagine.

Imagine what it would be
like if it all went away.

If I didn't have to remember who I was.

It doesn't mean I'm...

I'm not out buying razor
blades. That's all I'm saying.

Have you talked to your
wife about these feelings?

I thought that's why the
department were paying you.

You think she wouldn't understand?

- I don't know how I'm...
- HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

I don't know how I'm ever
going to feel normal again.

Like myself, you know?

Er...

I hurt all the time.

My throat...

My skin. It feels like... It feels
like it isn't my own, you know?

And seeing myself isn't the worst of it.

I just look away.

But seeing other people...

How they react, when they see me.

Like I'm some kind of monster.

And I don't know what's worse.

The look of pity in their eyes or...

..the fear.

The disgust.

Doesn't matter, I suppose.

They all look away as quick as they can.

No-one expects you to be OK.

Not right away. Not for a long while.

You have to allow yourself
the time to adjust.

ELAINE:

Yeah. Well, that's
very kind of you to say.

Flowers can just be sent to my address.

We won't be having a
funeral. Yeah, I know.

Well, that's what Dad wanted so
we have to respect his wishes.

Thanks again.

More well-wishers?

It's taking everything I've got
not to just scream down the phone.

If they knew him, if any of
these people really knew him,

they wouldn't want
to pay their respects.

It's going to be pretty
bloody weird though, isn't it?

Just one person at a funeral?

Yeah, well, Dad cared
what people thought.

The way you acted, dressed.

It all mattered.

This way, it'll just me and him.

No pretence. No happy
illusion of mourning.

Just me watching that
bastard get burned.

If anyone deserves to
die alone, it's him.

That's heavy.

There's this song...

♪ The one that makes me say ♪

♪ Cos you're the best thing
that ever happened... ♪

THEY LAUGH

Oh, he hated this. God, he hated it.

"This is the day Paul Weller
broke my heart," he said,

the first time he heard it.

He was a massive fan of The
Jam and then this came out.

Just didn't get it.

Not one bit.

So I'm playing it at the crematorium!

There's something wrong
with you, you know that?

Blame Dad.

What about the car?

He loved that thing more than anything.

Selling it so cheap...

Oh, he'd be rolling his grave...

You're actually enjoying
this, aren't you?

Sad, isn't it?

Nothing can fix the kind
of man your father was.

So if any of this is making
you feel any better then...

..hey, more power to you.

Here's to you, Dad.

Rot in pieces.

You're really going to dump her tonight?

Mate, I can't take it any
more. She's doing my head in.

But dumping someone at work... I dunno.

- That's not ideal.
- No, it's perfect.

She can't make a scene here.

Well, if you don't want a
scene then just do it by text.

Text? What kind of
arsehole do you think I am?

What you on today?

Still trying to get an
ID on body number five.

This bloody case, Jesus.

Good luck.

Jenny! Hey.

- Hey.
- Listen, I need a word.

Me too.

Good. Cos I've been thinking...

I'm pregnant.

I'm bloody pregnant!

Oh! That's...

That's... Wow!

- Hey.
- Where is he?

The office.

Mr Taylor.

DCI Markham. I'm sorry
about what happened to you.

I saw the news.

Thanks for coming down.

Yeah, well, I thought
you might want to see me.

I'm sure it's nothing. It's
probably just a simple theft, but...

Well, Nothing else was taken.
That's what I don't understand.

This was from your office last night?

My colleague tells me the
laptop was the only item stolen.

Yeah. And I've got paintings...

..and other items,
plenty that's worth more.

And you think that maybe

this was connected to
what happened to Mr Borner?

Well, I mean, maybe.

Truth is, even if it's not,
I'd rather be safe than sorry.

With all these other bodies turning up.

We pulled CCTV from a
nearby traffic camera.

This car was parked near your
office the day of the break-in.

Do you recognise her?

It's Christine.

She's in your patient files.

You've got a good memory.

How could I forget?

We need to bring Elaine in
on this. Have you seen her?

I don't think she's in yet.

Mr Taylor, we need you to tell us
everything you know about Christine.

HE GASPS

DISTORTED VOICES:- I'm right here...
- He's there!

Can you wake up for me, please, Gabriel?

OVERLAPPING VOICES

You've had quite a shock to the body...

HE GASPS

PRESSES DOOR BUZZER

You don't have to hide.

I'm not.

How have you been?

You haven't come round
since it happened.

I keep wanting to call,
but... I don't know.

It's OK.

I understand.

Truth is, I don't know any more.

I'm sorry, I just...

Let's just both stop
apologising to each other, OK?

Let's just say how we feel.

I still want you.

You can't.

Don't tell me what I think.

We can't start this again, Elaine.

Not after Hannah.

Don't say that.

I'm sorry, but it's true.

It's time.

Because you don't want me any
more? Because of what happened?

I'll see you tomorrow.

I really am sorry.

But maybe this has been a wake-up call.

It has to end, I can't
keep hurting my family.

DOOR CLOSES

GLASS SHATTERS, ALARM BLARES

TAYLOR ON LAPTOP: Christine.

Tell me.

I killed them.

I killed them and then I burned them.

Every single part. So that no-one
would ever know who they are.

Just me.

I know who they are.

I know what's happened to them.

Their friends and their family,

they'll have to live with the
uncertainty the rest of their lives.

SHE EXHALES SHAKILY

Can you tell me why you killed them?

Because I like it.
