Save Me (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 4 - Episode #2.4 - full transcript

Paul, Gideon's mate.
The first one he handed me to.

What about him?
He was there with Gideon.

I'm looking for Paul. I think
he works here. Scottish. Big fella.

Names, addresses, numbers.
Write them the best you know.

These places, they're all Gideon's.
Where else did you give them?

Well, here. Your brother's
in Hampstead.

(KNOCKS DOOR)

And the old place in Stepney.

You made me lie to the police
for you.

He put it on me, Daise.
Sat right there.

Hello, Daisy.



Richard's bar. I'm here because
this one says you're someone to know.

Where are they going?
He'll be back.

I just need a minute away from him.

Now that I know it'll be me, him,
and that we're having a girl,

I'm gonna stay at my sister's
for a while.

I didn't clock until I just now
remembered, but you drove past me.

She didn't hear you, but she did
hear the fella.What fella?Paul.

I didn't see anyone.

She killed that man, Nelly.

She killed him.

I know who it was.
Didn't have to see him.

(INDISTINCT ARGUING)

Something he does
to the air around me.

(DOOR SLAMS)



(CLATTERING)

You scared the hell out of me.

I'm leaving.

Last person I expected.

I just want to leave, Gid.

Making my puttanesca,
funnily enough.

Your favourite.

Don't want to be anywhere near you.

Well, the kitchen's probably
the quickest way out.

I think I'm burning.

I'm not angry with you,
if you think I am.

I'm not. Those fools.

What can I say? Furious.
Making you go through all that.

Plate, if you change your mind.

(SIGHS)
Can I have my money?

(SCOFFS)
Money you promised me.

Don't act like you didn't.

I'm not sure there any promises
left between us, Grace.

You said yeah to waiting there,
make out I was hurt.

He said that'd be me done.
Last thing he'd ever ask of me.

I never would have
if he hadn't promised.

He said the buyer wouldn't
give a shit once he got there.

Wouldn't care if I wasn't...

If you weren't Jody.

I waited in there for ages with
a fucking chain around my ankle.

Lower your voice, please.

Give me my grand.

(LAUGHS) I have that sort of money
just sitting in my pocket -

Your fuck-off bag.Let me have
a little look.Don't laugh at me!

I said, voice down.

You're running,
so you've either got it

or you're gonna get it.
Where is it?

That really is all I have.

You said that it would be enough
for me to get away for good.

A grand's nothing.
You're very welcome to stay. Sit.

Have a feed.

Or, Gracie, you're very welcome
to fuck off, quite frankly,

but that's it.

You need to stop being silly now.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

No more promises.

(MUSIC PLAYS IN THE BACKGROUND)

Oh!

(BREATHES RAPIDLY)

(BREATHES RAGGEDLY)

(BREATHES RAPIDLY)

(PHONE RINGING)

You have to help me.
You have to help me.

He's here. Gideon.

This has all tumbled on from being
carried around the caravan park.

I'm just not walking her
into the nearest pigpen

and be like, ta-da.
I ain't doing that just yet.

She stabbed him.
Yeah.

When she was out,
after she was out,

she came back from where
she didn't have to come back from

to stab the life out of him, Nelly.

It's done. Years he had hold of her.

Christ, wouldn't you?

I promised her I would see her good.
I know you did.

You know how you're gonna
keep that promise?

Help her to look this
in the eye, Nelly.

She has to.

Want to see her good?

Call O'Halloran.

Grace knows her.
She's a friendly face.

When I'm sure.

I have to be sure.
As soon as I'm that.

Then yeah.

I want you out today.

I want all this away
from this close to me and Samson.

(YAWNS)

(EXHALES)

What are you doing?

No use.You don't like that.
No use.

Do you want a bit of this?
Look, Ella. Ella.

Oh!Mwah!

(DOG BARKING)

(PHONE RINGS)

(RINGING CONTINUES)

Stace, it's me, yeah?
Bell me back when you get this.

I just need to...
Please, please.

What's this?I'm gonna go.Where?
You don't need to know where.

Hey, just -
Don't touch me like that!

Don't touch me like that!
Like what?

I wasn't... I-I didn't. I just...

I-I'm sorry. I'm...

I never asked for you to bust up
with your woman for me.

I never asked you to do that for me.

I heard her. She said,
'Out by today.'That ain't for you.

My...

My sell-by's up with Zeets.

Matter of time, so...

You heard it wrong.

You'd go, anyway.

Hey, wait. Wait.

You're 18, darling.

I can't believe you're a day over 15.

Ain't meant to.

They said so in court. 18 coming up.

Yeah. A couple of months.

It means where they put you
for Gideon,

they'll put you there
for proper time.

Whatever. Between now and then,

I'm just gonna brazen it out
for as long as I can.

What?

Why are you eyeballing me like that?

What?

Where's the knife, Grace?

Let me see.

Paul.

Why did you pick him?

Just...he's cruel.

Sick.

Dead in his soul.

Told you. He comes at you like...
like he wants to be your last.

Really don't know where to find him?

He never took you to his place?
No, I don't do that.

And what's Gideon's...?
You called it his...his what?

His, erm, fuck-off bag.
What is that?

Yeah. It's what he'd need
if he needed to get away quick.

Enough money, keys, erm, passport,

erm, thumb drive, keys to
a place abroad -What's that?

What? The thumb drive?Yeah.

He'd keep files, photos.
He had pictures of their faces.

Other grunters.

I think he wanted it
for security or something.

Pictures of them. Them with us.

He joked with them about it, but...

You at home?
Who are you calling?

Yeah. Do you mind if I pop by?

No. Let me tell you that
when I get there. Can I?

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Hello, Nelly?
(ENDS CALL)

Is that you?

Who's that? Shola?

Can I have a word, Nelly?

Getting some trousers on, can I?

I'm on...

I'm on Towers hours.

You...nearly woke me.

I'm on my way.

(DOOR CLOSES)

So, what have I not done now?

Can I come in?What's happened?
You've got your po-po face on.

So, what and what?
Best done inside.

Give me a minute.

Grace Mavella.

Have you seen her?

I haven't, no.
Spoken to her?

The best thing she can do right now,
Nelly, is come in and speak to us.

Speak to you about what?
We need to speak to everyone

who might have had reason
to cause Gideon Charles any harm.

What is it, Nelly?

I, erm...

I have spoken to her. Yeah.

I have, yes.

When? When did you speak to her?

The night Gideon got himself killed.

Do you know
where she was calling from?

Nelly.

I do want to tell you what I know.

I want it done official, though.

I want a brief sat next to me,
interview room around me.

I want it on tape, like you do.
On the record.

And as proper as can be.

What are you playing at?

You be ready for me
first thing tomorrow.

I will come in...

..and I'll give you
everything I know.

Don't try and be smarter
than you are, Nelly.

I couldn't do that
even if I wanted to, Shola.

Not on my life. I wouldn't know how.

He killed Gideon. Paul did.

So, tomorrow, yeah?

You heard me say.

I'm going into Shola's lot,
and that is what I'm gonna tell 'em.

Paul did it. Either for the money
or for the thumb thingy.

But from here on in,
you say as you said to me,

you were hiding out,
you heard voices,

by the time you came downstairs,
he was already brown on the floor.

The other voice,
you're damn near certain,

was Scottish Paul.
You're gonna need to put this up.

What for?
Who killed Gideon?

Who was it?

Like, I just say it
and that's it?No.

Cos we have to find him, still.

I've got to see him up close,
see if I can make him real.

Put this...this knife
in his hand, if I can.

Scope out all the places
Gideon took you to.

Starting at Richard's bar.
But meanwhile,

I'm going to put you somewhere.
A friend of mine.

I need you to promise that
you'll wait there for me. Will you?

You don't care...what I did to him?

I probably should, eh?

We probably both should.

We should feel away. I mean,
his life's lost, and all that.

But...I just don't.

I don't give a shit about him
as much as I do you.

The thought of you out there,
and all.

Not knowing where you are
or what's happening to you.

So, fuck it. There you go.

(SNIFFS)

Who killed Gideon, Grace?

(SNIFFS)

(EXHALES)

Paul did.

Fucking right.

What the fuck, Nelly?

(LIFT DOORS CREAK)

So, just how you walked with me
last time.

Keep me in sight but as much distance
as you can, like we ain't together.

Jesus Christ.
You don't ask much, do you?

I'm begging, mate.
Don't.

Then today. Word on it.

It's a bit steep being a mate
of yours these days, Nelly.

She had nothing to do with killing
that shit pig. She had nothing.

And you?

For fuck's sake, Tam.
How's this gonna be me?

Well, that's what it smells like.

It weren't me, and it weren't her.

That's why I want to sit her down
in your place for a minute

so I can fucking prove it
crystal to everyone.

Isn't it better if the Old Bill
do that?No, it's not.

You have to trust me,
because it ain't.

This kid needs me, Tam.

I'm near enough all she's got.

Dear God. Poor cow.
(CHUCKLES)

You ain't gonna leave me here?
I'm not.

You'll be back when?Soon.

Later. As soon as I can.
Whichever comes first.

And think where else I can go
in case Richard's place

turns out to be bollocks, please.

Need to hunt down that bag.
That thumb thingy.

Anything that gets me to Paul.
Do I look like a frog like this?

(THUDDING)

I feel like I do.
You what? (CHUCKLES)

Well, you do now, come to do that.
(CHUCKLES)

Yeah, nice one, Kermit, but...
number 52.

My mate Tam's.

Don't leave me here.

Not again, Nelly.

I thought you and Zita were darling.
We are.

(CLATTERING)

Samson's feeling a little bit
crowded, that's all.

You've buggered it some way, Nelly.
I ain't buggered it.

You might as well tell me how.

Zeets just wants a sec
for the little one to adjust.

That's it.What?
Adjust to you and her?

It is something like that, yeah.

Nothing to do with that Grace?

Why would it?

Shola's been in.

So, where is she?

Who? Shola?(CHUCKLES)

You were there in a dream of mine
the other night.

Dancing with my mum.

Up on her feet.

Stood on her feet for her
to dance you around the room.

You were tiny, Nells.

Like yourself here, now...

..but tiny. And you were
holding onto my mum...

..for dear life.

Stood on her feet.

What's that meant to mean?

I don't know.

Then what you going on about it for?

A measure of my worry, Nells.
Can't even escape it, sleeping.

You don't have to
worry about me, Stace.

Fuck off lying to me, Nells.

If you can't hear that from me,
then piss off out.

Grace is in trouble, and no-one else
will help her if I don't.

Did she kill him?

On my nuts, she did not.

Think I know who did.
And I just need...

..some place to stay
until I find out.

If you wouldn't mind.

If you don't want me to go, I won't.
You should.

Then tell me not to.
You're right. Better you're there.

Make sure nothing he's doing
don't come back at us again.

Me out there for what Nelly's doing.

I know you're worried.

I won't let it touch us.

I ain't risking it.

I would never.

What?

Actually, I'm gonna do
what you said I could.

I'm telling you not to go.

(KEYS JANGLING)

(SIGHS)

(DOOR OPENS)

Home early.

Hello. Good morning to you.

Where have you been?

Jumped out of a plane.

You did?
I did.

Just getting back now.
Where did this come from?

It's nothing to worry about.

What? Because obviously you did it
with a parachute?Yeah.

With...? Somebody showed you?
Tandem. Yeah.

You just woke up this morning
with that in mind

and then just went and did it?
Not exactly. But, well, yeah.

You didn't say.
Because I...didn't think I'd do it.

You're a bit giddy with it.
Yeah. I think I am.

A few days ago, someone
on the missing kids forum...

There's maybe six of us
left in the chat.

It was late, and someone asked
what scared us most at the minute.

I just decided to be honest.

There's no point in signing in
if you're not gonna be.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)
What did you say?

Everything.

Everything?

That's what I typed. Everything.

Is it still like that?

Is it not for you?

Not still like that?
In the pit of you?

Fists clenched, right there?

She's gone.I know she is.
Because it happened.

Something that happens
to almost no-one.

But it has happened to us.
Yeah, it has.So, yeah.

Everything scares me.

And one of those you chat to

said jumping out of the sky
might help with that?

(CHUCKLES) Yeah. One did.

Said it saved her.

Something you're absolutely
shit-scared of doing

that you would never do.
(CHUCKLES)

And how was it?
I hated every second of it.

(LAUGHS) Like, I was
on the edge of losing my mind

from top to bottom, like, from
start to finish until we landed.

And then I wanted
to do it all again.

I want to do it again.

Because?

I don't know. Because...

Because it totally took over.

(HORN HONKS)

What was it? Best out of three?

You mean, like, I lost the toss?
Or you won it.

Where are we going?
You don't have to do this, Daisy.

If Goz ain't allowed out, I'll beg
or borrow and do this on my tod.

Do I look like Teens to you, Nelly?

(LAUGHS)

Cambridge Heath. By the Overground.

As long as you're sure about yourself
out here with me, Daise.

(ENGINE STARTS)

Seatbelt.

It's only Goz being who he is,
loving his mates how he does.

That was me being clumsy.
Puts everyone in front of himself.

That's all it was.I hate
having the hump with him for that.

You know he loves you,
don't you, Nelly?

Feds at your door was because of me.

Should have given myself
time enough to think.

Should've.

Actually, can you pull over here,
please?What?

Can you?What's going on?
Just here. Yeah.

Can you stop?We haven't gone
anywhere, Nelly.

I'm gonna get out
and get going where I'm going.

What's going on?
You should head back.

I'm just gonna get clumsy
with you an' all, Daise.

And I've asked enough.
You don't have to get out, Nelly.

I'll take you where you're going.
I know you will. I know.

I'm gonna let you off the hook.
Tell Goz he's off it, too. In fact,

tell them all they are.

Let me drop you where you're going.
I'm not gonna stop, Daise.

I said I wouldn't, and I won't.
It don't matter who thinks I should

or wants to call time.
I fucking can't. I don't know how.

I didn't want to and have done.

You worry us so much, Nelly.

I know I do.

But, you know, the thing is,
I'm all right.

I am. I mean, really and truly.

It sounds mad, but I do have
a hold of myself somehow.

I don't know where I'm going.
I don't.

But I ain't lost, you know?

Nelly?
(DOOR CLOSES)

What are you doing here, Mel?

You can't...

You can't sit out here
like you're doing.

All right? You look like
they say you do.

Glowing and that.
You look lovely.

I asked you to leave me alone.

To let me think through what
I'm thinking.I'm not stopping you.

I just don't want you to have to
go too far for whenever when...

What are you on about?
Whenever when what?

You've got to ask me, Bern.

Ask you what?

I'll tell you the truth, I promise.

I'm going in.
No. Bernie, look. Wait.

Look. That kid, yeah?

Our little girl, she needs you
to be certain. I know that.

You're being bloody weird.

Stop talking shit like I know
what you're on about.

I won't lie.

I swear.

I'm gonna call Nelly.
Get him to make you stop.

No. Bernie, look.
I know it's upsetting...

..right now. I'm so sorry.

The thoughts you must be having.

But what are you saying?
You want me to leave you alone

so you can think about it?
That's not us, Bern.

I'm fighting for my life here, Bern.

I want you gone
by the time I get inside.

I'm not pissing about, Melon.
I'm not.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

(WATER DRIPPING)

How's she doing?

Feels like an old soul.

Been here a few times before.

And each soul more pissed off
than the last.

Well, I'm sorry about that.

She's doing well,
all things considered.

Can I have a word with her, please?
Yeah, sure.

It's Nelly.

How's it going, darling?
Got me in a bad mood.

You know, Tam's a giggle
if you give him a chance.

When are you coming back for me?

Someone's been through
Richard's place already.

They've gone at the walls.
So it ain't there?

Nah. Nothing like a fuck-off bag
anywhere.

No cameras, no nothing.

You had a think about anywhere else?

No.

You mean, nowhere?

I don't know anywhere. I told you.

I don't know, like,
addresses and that.

Every time they'd take us places,
we'd be smashed, so...

I know places from the inside,
but the place you're at

is the only place
I know from the outside.

OK. And you've proper
thought about it?

Gonna come for me now?
I am, yeah.

Yeah, I'm on my way.

Fuck.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

Christ. What now?

(CAR HORN HONKS)

(HORN BLARES)

For fuck's sake.

(CAR HORN HONKS)

Mayfield Lane.

Mayfield Lane.

Bethnal Green. Chasing my arse.

How's Bernie? Are you with her now?

I am, yeah. She's having a kip.
That's why I've come outside.

Everything sweet with you?

It is, yeah.

We'll just take ourselves away
for a few days.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)

Mel?

You're what it looks like for me.
You and Bern.

You know, when I'm trying
to work it out with Zita,

when I'm trying to do that.
You're the picture on the box.

So if I've caused anything
that's still bothering Bernie -

I've got to go now.
She's just woken up.

I've got to go, mate.
Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.Ta-ra.

(WOMAN TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

I come back, I want you finish,
dressed.

(KEYS JANGLING)

Can we go?

When I say, 'Go',
I mean, 'Ready. Now!'

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

(GROANS)

(GRUNTS)

(GASPS)

(GROANS)

(SHOUTS)

You fucking move... You budge
a fucking inch and I'll end you.

Don't move. You don't know who I am.
I swear to God -

Fuck you.
Sit down!

(SHOUTS)

Don't piss about.

(YELLS)

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

(CLEARS THROAT)

(EXHALES)

Oh, sweet Jesus.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

(SNIFFS)

Oh, dear God.

Please, please.

Please.

(EXHALES)

(INHALES SHARPLY)

I'm sorry, I don't know
what to do here.

This is not...

(BREATHES SHAKILY)
This is nuts.

(EXHALES)
I'm sorry.

You don't know who I am, do you?

I'm Nelly, and I'm your...

I'm...

You thought you were
chatting with me.

Thought you were coming to see me
at the library.

You thought that was gonna be me.

It's OK.

We probably shouldn't stay here.
We should...

Erm, will you let me
take you to your mum?

Will you, Jody?

She's really missed you.

And she'll be...so happy to see you.
She's been...

..worried sick every day since...

It's Oak Hill, yeah?

I can take you there.
I can take you there straightaway.

I promise.

Oh, this? This is, erm...

You made it for me,
your mum said.

You made...you made one of these
in yellow for Dylan.

And your mum gave it to me
for my birthday,

and I ain't taken it off since.

I can thank you now you're here.

Thank you, Jody,
for my bracelet you made.

I love it.

Claire?
