Run (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Jump - full transcript

This is the final
call for the 0800

to Los Angeles.

Are you following me?

- Alice!
- Alice!

You're the very famous
Billy Johnson.

Yeah.

I'm really glad
that she doesn't know

about the real reason
you texted her.

My love and I

made a pact that one day,
one of us would text "run."

I can't wait to read the book.



I gave you a lot of money.

I'd quite like some more.

Give me that bag of cash,
because...

Billy!

I was in your hotel last night,

and now that I've got
Lawrence's number...

Fiona, Alice,
she isn't following you, okay?

- She's following me.
- I gave Alice
the money.

- Oh, you... No!
- Billy! We're on a train!

She literally
can't have gone far.

- Fiona!
- Fuck you!

Billy:
My love and I made
a pact that one day,

one of us would text "run,"

and if the other person texted
"run" back within 24 hours,



we would meet at Grand
Central Station in New York,

get on a train,

and voom.

One week across America.

At the end of the line,
we'd have to decide

to stay together

or never see each other again.

November 28th, 2005,

I texted her.
I heard nothing back.

January 12th, 2008,
she texted me,

but I was busy, so

we've never actually done it.

I woke up this morning with
a funny sort of a feeling.

I wondered,
what if today is the day?

What if she would
text back today? So...

I am about to text her,

and if, miraculously,
she texts back,

I'm gonna grab that bag
and leave here,

and I'm gonna meet her
on that platform.

And whatever happens next

will be the premise
of the new book deal

you're about to offer me.

So, you ready?

R... U... N...

Yes!

Mm-hmm.

- We can't.
- We have to.

- No, we can't! It's dangerous!
- Yes, we can! Look at me!

-Oh, no, fuck! All right.
No, I don't want to!
-Come on! Go! Go!

Billy: Ruby!

Oh! Yeah!

Baby! That was awesome!

Fuck off.
Fuck, I'm broken.

- No! Stand up.
- Oh, fuck! No, no, no.

- Shake it down.
- Right, yeah. Okay.

- Okay. Okay.
- Oh. Oh no!

My coat's on that train.

I love that coat.

Oh, come on.

- There she is!
- Oh no, wait, Ruby! Ruby!

Ruby. Ruby.

- Ruby...
- Come on.

See? She's an idiot.

- Let's get her.
- Yeah!

Okay. Easy does it.

I loved that fuckin' coat.

Ruby: We're comin' to get you!

Fiona:
I'm gonna call your husband!

Ruby:
That's our money!

You won't get away with it!

Wait, wait, wait. Ruby.
She's... she's saying
she'll call your husband.

Ruby and Billy:
No!

Fuck you!

- Billy: No!
- Ruby: No!

Fiona:
Oh, why don't you
just fuck off?

Billy:
Fiona, you total bitch!

- Ruby: Walk faster
or she'll be gone.
- Billy: She won't be gone.

- Fuck. She's gone.
- Shit.

Ruby:
How long have you
been working together?

Billy:
Nearly seven years.

She was only a temp at first,

but then she just
kept on doin' stuff.

She was answering the phones,

making me tea when
I didn't ask her.

Then she was
doing the schedules,
and pretty soon,

I couldn't scratch my arse
without her help.

She sounds exceptional.

She was. It was
a fuckin' nightmare.

Hey, um...

Have you slept with her?

What sort of a question is that?

- Of course I have.
- Oh.

We were working together
for seven years.

Oh...

It would've been rude not to.

Mmm.

Billy:
Where is she?

Hey!

Oh fuck.

You think she went in there?

I hope not.

- Let's go.
- Yeah.

Ruby: Hello?

Oh, this is so fucked up.

Hello?

I don't wanna...

Hello?

Someone's upstairs!
Did you hear that?

- No. No!
- Someone's upstairs!

Over here!

Hello?

Fiona:
Oh, why don't you fuck off?

You shouldn't break
into people's houses.

- I fell over.
- Fiona, just give me my money.

Jesus Christ.

I've got this.

Fiona.

Did you call Laurence?

When would I have the time
to call your husband?

You know, I've barely had
the chance to send him this.

Oh, come on! Turn it off!

What the fuck is that?!

- You're so dead! Gimme that!
- Don't!

Oh...

Don't come
one step closer, okay?

-Okay!
-Fucking traitor.
And you!

- If you're gonna put
all your eggs in his...
- Billy: Look!

I am sorry about
the meltdown with Jackie.

And I'm sorry about
calling everybody cunts.

And I know it's been sudden
and we've lost money,

and that's all been hard
on you, but Jesus Christ,

it's just money!
It isn't people!

You can't really care that much.

I mean,

maybe you're just
in love with me, okay?

If that's the case.

Then I know that
my being your boss

would have been
hard on you, too.
And I get that.

Okay, give it a rest, Billy.

- What? Don't you start!
- Just... you know.

I'm sure she's good without
the condescending speech,

Ruby:
Jesus Christ. And also,

money is important.
Maybe you don't know that

'cause you've never
gone without it, you know?

Fiona, did you call Laurence?

Just gimme the money!

Fiona:
I'm sorry...

- Ow!
- She cut your finger!

Hey! Hey!

Ruby: I got it, I got it!

- Did he tell you
about our plans?
- What plans?

- Shut the fuck up.
- Fiona: Yeah.

It's not the only secret
I've been keeping, now,
is it, Ruby?

- What? What?
- Nothing. Just forget it.

Yeah, just forget about
all those little people...

- wondering where you are.
- You know, I don't
know what she's...

I know she's got
fucking kids, Fiona.

You knew?

I saw the picture on your phone.

- Why didn't you say anything?
- Why didn't you say anything?

That's why I couldn't sleep
with you on the train.

Why?

'Cause you thought that
I would have a flappy vagina?

No! No, it was just...
It was just the thought

of doing it with a mom,
you know?

Of breaking up a family.
Of breaking up a family,
I meant.

What the fuck!

- No! Not like...
- Fiona: Billy. Billy!

People come to you for words,

and yet all that
seems to flow out of
your mouth is shit!

I... I've been spinning
your shit into gold

for the past
seven years, and now...

you don't want it anymore.

Well, you can take
my career away from me,

but you can't take this.

- No, what are you doing?
- No, no!

Billy: Get the bag,
get the bag!

Fiona: Get off me!

- Billy: What are you doing?
- Fiona: Get off!

- Hello?
- Laurence: Ruby.

Uh, are you okay?

- Laurence:
Where the fuck are you?
- I'm, uh...

Billy: No, shit! No!

Laurence:
Ruby! Are you listening?

I need to talk to you now!

Hey, Laurence,
I'm gonna have to call
you back in a few minutes.

Laurence: No, no, no,
do not hang up on me!

Don't hang up on me, Ruby!

I swear to God! You...

Where's Fiona?

Don't look out the window.

Why?

Billy...

I think she's dead.

She won't be.

- Oh...
- Oh.

Laurence?

Ruby, what is happening?

Laurence...

Baby, are you having an affair?

- What?
- Laurence: Just, are you...

Are you with him? Billy?

Uh...

Uh...

Uh, wait, wait, what?

If you tell me that you
are having an affair,

our marriage is over. Are you?

Our marriage will be over!

Um... ye...

No.

You are at a yoga retreat

in Malibu, right?

Fuck, just say yes.

Yes.

Laurence:
Okay. Good.

Um...

I miss you,

so I'm... I'm gonna come
and get you. Just...

text me the address
and I will see you there...

- 5:00 on Friday. Okay?
- Oh, but, um...

Five o'clock. I love you.

Yeah, you, too.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- We need to call an ambulance.
- No, no, no.

Yeah, we... or her Nan

because her Nan
shouldn't see this.

- Wait! No, no.
- I'm gonna get
her off the thing.

Yeah. Or we get someone
out here, you know.

-Where are we?
Where even are we?
-Wait. I-I don't know...

-Do we have Wi-Fi here?
-No, no, wait!
Who would we call?

-People.
People to get her off the...
-No.

- Thing.
- Billy, Billy, um...

I need you to leave with me.

And we'll do
the right thing, okay?

But I need you
to go with me now.

Okay.

- Billy: I got sick.
- Yeah.

- You okay?
- Yeah. I'm sorry.

Billy:
I got sick over there.

Ruby:
Hang on, hang on, hang on.

Wait!

Wait...

The money.

- I'll get it.
- Okay.

Billy: Which way?

Ruby:
Do you see that?

- Is that a person?
- Billy: Who's that?

Ruby:
Okay. Um, just let me
do the talking.

Ruby: Hello.

Ruby: Hi.

- Sorry, ma'am.
- Hello.

Hello. Um...

Oh.

Are you busy?

No, I was just checking
on this badger here.

- Do you think...
- Is the badger okay?

Well, no, I'd say
she's completely dead.

Um, we-we need to get
to a train station.

- How'd you get out here?
- Ruby: We hiked.

- Woman: You hiked? Oh.
- Yeah.

And we got lost.

Um...

could you take us
to the nearest station?

Oh, well, that'd be
Trinidad Central.

Ruby:
Could you take us there?

The station's that way...

and I was heading...

that way. Are you okay?

I left my coat on the train.

It was a really great coat.

Ruby:
Yeah, we need to get
to LA really soon

because his mother...

has cancer.

- Why my mother?
- Yeah, I know, exactly.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

My mom had cancer, too.

Oh no. I...

How long does she...?
Is it... I...

Tell me something nice
about her!

She used to put my
toothbrush in the toilet

when I forgot to brush my teeth.

Woman: Uh...

Is that nice?

- You put this on.
- Thanks.

You help me get this
badger in the van,

I'll give you guys a ride.

- Are you from here?
- No.

Uh, no, I've been
here about six years,

but I came here for the animals.

Which animals?

- Oh, just the dead ones.
- Billy: Dead ones?

Beavers, yeah, dead beavers,
dead prairie dogs.

Just anything dead, really.

There's a lot of
roadkill around here.

No one touches it.
It's such a waste.

People don't really
know what to do when
they see a dead thing.

I've just always felt
very comfortable with them.

Once they're stuffed,
they all but come back to life.

- Are you a taxidermist?
- Yeah, that's me.

Oh... Oh, thank God.

- Ruby: Thank you so much.
- Woman: Of course.

He can keep the coat.

- Oh.
- Ruby: Oh God, I'm so sorry.

- Oh, no!
- Billy. Billy!

Billy!

- Thank you.
- Sorry.

Can we...

- give you some money?
- Oh no, no.

Tell him to keep
talkin' about her.

- Who?
- His mom.

It's what helped me.

Ruby.

Ruby:
One second.

Ruby.

Have we made it?

Yeah.

The train's coming
in 20 minutes.

Do you get the feelin'
like we're walking away

from something...

that we can never
walk away from?

No.

Do you feel like
you've surprised yourself

with how you've reacted to this?

Yeah.

Have I surprised you?

I'm glad you're here with me.

Ruby:
I need the bathroom.

Ruby: Fuck.

Oh God!

Ruby:
Oh. No! Oh my God!

Oh my God!

Fuck!

Oh my God! Fuck!

What's wrong?

Hey. It's all right.

This is it,
this is just a moment.

Okay? It'll pass.
This won't be
all our moments.

It's okay, it'll pass.

I can't find my phone!

That's okay.
That's all right.

Where's the last place
that you remember having it?

Did you have it in the van?

Fuck! Fuck!

- Fuck!
- Okay! Okay, listen. It's okay.

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
Listen to me. Listen to me.

We have to go back for it.

- What?! Fuck!
- Yeah...

- I know, I know,
but that's okay.
- Fuck! Fuck!

Fuck!

Ah! Fu...

I think
we should call the police.

I'm actually, very happy
to talk to the police, thanks.

Someone should visit
the woman who reported this.

I'm uh, instigating
a, uh, possible murder case.

You wanna come in?

Did you see anyone?

A meaty blonde, and a guy
in a women's coat.

And I'm the violent one?

Run.

Don't say that unless
you mean it.
