Then You Run (2023–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Episode #1.7 - full transcript

The following programme
contains strong language

and violent scenes.

She's just found out
her mum's still alive.

Do you know where she is?
The Nordmann Fir Beach Hotel.
Where's Stink? Go back.

She must still be there.
What's the story here?
Pretending to be pregnant.

Get to -
You killed Mirko, yeah?
Right back at ya.

You're expendable, Tara.

Tara's mum's dead.
She's not gonna drag us

halfway across Europe
to see a dead mum,

she'd have to be completely...

Hm, ja...



Ja, we'll trim back

to the distal interphalangeal joint,

leaving sufficient soft tissue

to stretch over the top and close.

You'll be out of here
by the end of the day.

What kind of dog?

What?
When she dropped you off,

your friend said your finger
was bitten off by a dog.

Friend...

Doesn't look like a dog bite.

Is there anything
you would like to tell me, Ruth?

Actually, yeah. There is.

It's the only ferry
to Norway today.
She's got to be on it.

The detective is here. She would
like to ask you some questions.



It is. Ja. Fertig.

I'm not, obviously.

But your little friends...

...they're fertig as fuck.

Your niece and I had come to
an agreement. She gave me you,
I gave her safe passage to Denmark.

Denmark?

The poliziewoman who was
escorting them to the border

has been found with a bullet
in her chest.

That wasn't
part of the arrangement.
Nothing's ever simple with you

and your family, is it? So now
I have to take care of her,
and the other loose ends.

Leave her.

She's mine to deal with.

I can manage this, thank you.

She shouldn't be that hard to find.
Last seen heading north
in a stolen German polizei car.

North...
Perhaps you have an idea

where she might be going?
'She mentioned at the station

she was on her way to visit family.

Who knows?' Luckily,
I have my own source of information

who will lead me to Tara.

I said to leave her.

'You don't understand.
I'm not consulting you.'

The Rotterdam route? No.
I mean, someday, perhaps.

'But no, not with you.

You are too much trouble.'

You're out, Reagan.

You're finished. Fertig as fuck.

Reagan! Jesus,
I've been sat here,

I've heard nothing from you,
- nothing from Turi.
- Turi's gone.

'He's what?'
And I'm in Denmark.

I have to catch a ferry to Norway.

'I need you to mind the place
for me.'

Wait, Reagan,
have you not heard?

They froze the accounts.
We're under investigation.

There's guys raiding the restaurant.

They're all over the port.
This isn't the local police,

it's Interpol,
and they fucking know stuff as well.

You can tell.
Someone's after tipping them off.

Fucking Dagmar.

Yeah, but listen.

You know our friend
at the coastguard office?

Well, he's turned up drowned.

It's like Dagmar found out
that we turned him.

Only way that's happened is
someone on our side
has fed her information.

I want to say something to you.
Not now.

Fuck it.

Stink. Stink. Listen.

You and me in that forest,
that was -

Hey!

Stink!
Stink.

Yeah, Stink.

No thanks to you.

What happened to you?
How did you get here?

What's he doing here?
I know, it's mad.

But we went through this -
Don't worry about him.

What the fuck, Tara?!

It was intense.
I nearly got killed back there!

I was that close to being dead.

In the forest, on my knees,
with a gun pressed to the...

Where's Ruth?

Where is she?

She's in hospital.

Tara shot her finger off.

Not on purpose.

She was trying to call the police.

And she killed a policewoman.

Did you kill a cop?!

If she killed a cop,
that's really serious.

They hate that.

Right, Nessi, come on,
you're getting rescued.
Don't move.

Really?!

Really?

What about that?

Guys, people are gonna see!

You gonna shoot me, Stink?
Highly possible.

You have no idea
what I'm capable of. Ness,

this side.

Guess where I got this gun from.
From a guy that was
supposed to kill me with it.

Guess where that guy is now?
- He's dead.
- Stink -

So dead.
You should have seen her.

Stink -
Yes, Nessi?!

I wanna go back.
- What?!
- We need to see if Ruth's OK.

Oh, she's fine!

She's not fine, Tara.
You shot her finger off!
It was the tip.

I'm sorry, Tara.
No, no, no, you're right.

No biggie.

...normal behaviour somehow!

Were you there
when the cop got shot?

Back's not be the best plan so...

Yeah, back's not gonna work, Ness.
OK, here's what we're gonna do.

We're gonna find a seat,
like nice ferry people,

and then he's gonna tell you
what you just told me.

Hello, lads. I'm looking for someone
to get me across to Norway.

Ah, well, the next ferry
is, er, tomorrow at eight.

I don't run
- a passenger service here.
- No?

How about for a Mercedes?

One careful owner. 20k on the clock.

OK. Welcome on board.

Tara's mam is dead.
I was at the funeral.

She's not dead.

We're going to her hotel.
There's nothing there.
The whole thing is bullshit.

She's not dead. I saw her.

She died in the car crash, Tara.

She didn't die in the car crash.

Your dad and Orin just said that.

I remember the church,
the whole thing.

I saw her dead.

What age, hmm? Six?

You never saw her.

You think you did,
cos that's what they told you.

This is your big proof?

Some shit they planted
in this dickhead's memory?

Why'd they do that?

What's that?

A picture.

The Nordmann Fir Beach Hotel.

It could've burnt to the ground
since they took that.
Where my mum is.

Could've fallen in the sea.
That's where I'm going.

Without you. Good.

Any of you. You can fuck off,
the lot of you.

Delighted.

'Tara's mam is dead.'

Mum?
'She died in the car crash, Tara.'

What's she doing now?
Is she looking over?

She's just staring into space.

Fucking psycho.

You'd feel a bit sorry for her
all the same. Being on her own
and all.

This is a private conversation.

Oh, right.

Why are you still here?

Cos, not being funny,
but you gave me a lift in the car,

and as far as that goes,
yeah, thanks for everything,
but that's kind of it.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, no, you're right.

I'll just, er...

Take me a bit further up the coast.
About 30 kilometres.

Yeah, well...
that's not what we agreed.

Not what we agreed.
- Not, it's not.
- Mmm.

No.

But we're gonna do it anyway.

Where do you think you're going?

Put it down.

I said put it down.

Drive the boat.

Could I borrow your phone
just to check on Ruth?

Sure. Yeah. Thanks.

Just not supposed to use ours.
No worries.

Sorry about Stink.
She can be a bit hardcore.

You're alright.

She's right, thinking about it.

I'm coming here acting like
I'm everyone's friend
and... she's not having it.

It's fair enough, like...

You shouldn't mess with friendship.

Cos it's precious. She knows that.

Stink does?

Anything fake,
and she's right on it.

I don't even know her number.

Numbers are bastards.

Mirko was really into you.

You know that? You were nice to him.

It's good he had that, cos...
not many people were.

I wasn't. I was shit to him.

Wouldn't have killed me
to ask him how he's getting on,

be his friend, you know what I mean?

But I didn't, did I?

Now it's too late.

The Nordmann Fir Beach Hotel.

The woman, is she always this happy?

I don't know.

I've never met her.

It's Norway, no? Terrible country.

Everywhere,
the awe-inspiring landscapes.

I like to be
the one inspiring awe.

I'm an artist, you see.

Yeah?

Like a painter?

Like a painter, yes.

What kind of stuff?

For many years, nothing.

But once...

...once I painted a line of cars
stranded in the snow.

Once, a motel
at the edge of a lonely city.

A train,
all the little people inside.

These pieces made me
really quite well known.

Not that that's why I did them.

Why did you?

So difficult to explain.

I was trying to find something.

Even from
when I was a small child,

I was aware of something missing.
Other people had it,
I didn't get it.

I knew somehow I must... find it.
So, never at rest,

always this drive,
drive, drive to get it,

because even if you have no idea
what it is, it's somewhere
waiting for you.

Now I sound
like a madman.

No, you don't.

No?

I know what you mean.

OK.

Then you know how, with this drive,

you can be driven
to do extraordinary things,

things you didn't even know
were inside of you,

that no-one understands.

My best work, I...
I didn't understand. It just...
..happened.

Why did you stop?

Because it worked.

I did it.

In the end, it was all worth it.

Those things I thought
I could never have,

a home, a family... one by one,
I was able to have them.

Until one day I'd done enough,
I felt it. I could stop.

I could begin my life.

And that life...

But then something...

...very sad happened.

And now
there's a new hole to be filled.

So my return to art...
begins here, on this boat.

How do you know it's gonna work?

It always works.

You don't know that.

How do you know?

Cos I'm scared
it won't work for me.

What you said...

Home,

family...

...that's what I want.

But...

...some of the things I've done...

It's like I'm infected.

What if I get there and she sees?

Oh.

You're going to see your mother.
This is... wonderful.

Maybe I shouldn't.
Maybe I should stay away.

No, no, no. You have to go there.
You must.

I promise, you'll start all over.
A new life.

It will be like it was someone else.

Please. You must go there.

Believe me, it will be... magnificent.

I'm not going to paint this boat.

I have a much better idea.

'(WOMAN SPEAKS GERMAN)'

I got you something.

Yeah?

How are you doing?

Me? Bangin'.

Kicking arse and taking names.

How's the whole...

That?

About to be taken care of.
Got some abortion pills. I'm just
gonna...

Well, when are you gonna do it?
When I get a quiet moment.

Probably not on a car ferry.
What did you get me?

That. You're eating it.

Oh, right. Cheers.

Think we should talk to her?

You can if you want. I don't
negotiate with psychopaths.
Well, I think we should, because...

...if we don't,
what's she gonna do next?
What's left?

She's already killed a cop.

Friendship's precious, Stink.

I mean, look at her.

She's not OK.

No shit.

Act tough all you want...

Not an act, actually.
I know you still care.

Ask the dead guy in the forest
if it's an act.

I mean, you've been watching her
- this entire journey.
- Wrong.

Actually, I've been watching
my bag of drugs.

She just happens to be
in the same place as it.

Where did she go?

She was right there.
Where did she go?

You don't think she...

Shut up, Nessi.

Dagmar's here!

Tara!

She's here. On this boat.
- Who is?
- Dagmar. The cop!

A real cop or a made-up cop?
Tara, me and Stink think that
you should give yourself up.

What?

No, this is Dagmar,

the one that got us
out of the police station.
- She sounds nice.
- She's not nice.

She's the biggest heroin dealer
- in Europe.
- So two jobs, then?

Does she drive an Uber
on the weekend as well?
She... is going... to kill us.

Or maybe just arrest the one
that killed a cop!

She's on her own. Yeah?

You think they'd send one person
for that?

A cop gets killed,
they send the entire police force.

Why is she on her own?

...please make
their way to the car deck.

Yes. Definitely.

Definitely, yes. OK.

Sorry. Sorry.

Is... is that...

Hey.

Hey. This is OK. This is good.

We're OK.

Go... go away
or Tara will shoot you!

Tara did a great deal of running

for someone who's going to shoot me.

Oh, she'll shoot you alright,
don't you worry about that!

Tara,
please get your gun out?
There's no reason for violence.

I don't have it.

What do you mean, don't have it?
- Why don't you have it?
- I threw it
- in the sea.
- Why would you do that?!

Tara...?

I'm prepared to make a deal.

Despite what happened last time.

All I want is to recoup my losses,
and you want your friend.

Ruth!
Ruth, yes.

How do you think
I was able to find you?

What have you done to Ruth?

Oh, don't worry,
she's somewhere safe.

Oh, don't listen to her.
She's lying!

Give me the sample
and I will take you to her.

She doesn't care about the sample.
All she wants, us to go with her

so she can kill us
somewhere private!

Or I come in firing.
Your choice. Hmm?

You have 30 seconds to decide.
30 seconds.

Bad news for you, actually, cos...
cos Stink has a gun,

and anybody coming through this door
is gonna get really shot!

20.

You can stop counting.

Come on, Stink.

You're not afraid.
You killed a man!

You said -
I said he's dead.

I didn't say it was me
that killed him.10.

Come on, Tara! I'm afraid,
and it's what you're good at.
Come on.

Tara, please.

Tara, please.

Five.

Four.

Three.

What the fuck?!

What are you looking for?

Car keys.

Why is she dead?
Help me.

I don't understand why she's dead.

Fucking hell.

This is fucked up! Fuck, fuck, fuck.

We need to get off this boat.

Where is it?

There.

Come on. Come on!

Stink!

Make him go away.

I didn't kill the German lad.
It wasn't me drove him off the road.

In case that's what it was.
- Alright. Good.
- No, wait, wait.

That thing I wanted to say to you,
you, back in them woods,

that was... I was like that.

It was like... it was like
I was feeling something,

but I didn't know
what it was because...
I never got that feeling before,

least of all off a girl.
And I was there,
and I was trying to work it out.

What was it? I...

Well, what was it?

I didn't know! That's the point.

That's what I'm saying to you.
But there was this other thing.

This... feeling. I -

Can you just...
say what the feeling was?

We need to go.

Respect. You know what it was like?

It was like... looking at something
behind reinforced glass.

That... that bit of someone
that you can't have.

Because it's them.
I'm there, looking at you, thinking,

"Fuck me, man. She is incredible!

No wonder she's all cool,

and people wanna hang out with her,
and she's got these friends..."

I don't have that.

I never really did.

You know why?
The hair?

No, because I don't respect myself.

Stink.

I don't really know what to do
about that. Should probably
work it out.

Darian, we have to go.

OK.

Can I have a fucking hug?

I hope you find what you need, Tara.

You could do worse.
You have done worse.

Why are we stopping?

Why are the police here?

Shit!
It's fine. It's fine.

It's fine. It's fine. It's fine.
Fine. Just... looking
for the police car.

Yeah, there's no way
they're gonna be looking

for the English girls who took it,
who just left a dead police officer
upstairs. They'll be like, "No,

thank you. Just cars. You go on..."
Shut up! Shut up.

Sorry.

Fuck! Fuck.

I need to fix the engine.

Wait.

I know this already is decided.

I could tell you you can trust me,

that I'll keep my mouth shut,
but it won't make any difference.

You don't leave witnesses.

OK.

But let me put Emil ashore.

There's no town for miles.

You'll be gone
before anyone finds him.

He's a child!

Just fix the boat.

Stop it. Stop it!

You can't do that.
He's a child!

I didn't know he was on the boat.

Give it up. Give it up.

You're just making it worse.

You know what? What are we doing?

Taking me to the hotel, please.

Why? We... we should be going back
for Ruth.

Ruth will be fine.

Please?

OK. Him first.

I don't want him to be frightened.

'It's me.
I'm sorry I disappointed you.

But you disappointed me too.'

It wasn't me who killed Turi.
He did it himself.

'I'm sick of pretending
I'm something I'm not.

Do what you want.
Hunt me down or whatever.

I'm done.'

No, you're alright.

I have to go.

Right so. I've things to take care
of meself.

I'll talk to you again.
Yeah. Probably not, Dad.

You didn't disappoint me.

Maybe it's a good thing
you weren't cut out for it.

Maybe of the two of you...

...you're the lucky one.
The two of us?

What are you talking about?
'You and Tara.'

'What are you taking care of?'

I'm telling you now,
you stay away from them girls.

'Listen to me, I'm warning you -'
You're not listening.

She's your...

Can we stop? Can we stop the car, please?

It's right round the corner.
It's just happening a bit fast.

Sorry, er...

I'm sorry.

If I can get there,

not bring...
...not bring any trouble with me...

How do I look?

Do I look like someone
you'd wanna see?

You look nice, Tara.

You look peng.

Wait. Wait a minute. I... I can't
show up in a stolen car. Seriously.

We can't leave it.

Someone could trace it.

It isn't very environmental.

Nobody tell Ruth.

So what do we do?

Take off the handbrake.
