Witness No. 3 (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Episode #1.3 - full transcript

They know it's over now. You're
going to court. They can't stop you.

Enough, OK, I am out.

It's not as simple as that.

THUD

WHIMPER

You hear anything you don't
like, you press the button.

You're not hearing me. These
guys are gonna kill you.

We select a room in your
flat, most likely upstairs.

DRILL RATTLES

And we turn it into what's
called a strong room.



Last line of defence.

It'll have a reinforced steel
door, sealed, unbreakable windows,

and a phone.

If the light's flashing
red, you've got a problem.

You want solid green, and
then you're in business.

The nurse says I
can stay the night

cos it's a private
room or something.

Only way anyone gets in here...

is if someone lets 'em in.

Don't worry, right,

I've got time to train
him up, he won't bite.

So?

Yeah...

Yeah, it's great.

I'm gonna do it this time, Jo.

All right?

Once the baby
comes, it's just...

Well, that's the focus
that I need, yeah?

I can feel it.

I'm going to stay clean.

Look, I promise.

Good.

Because you know, love,
there is nothing I want more.

What's happening?

Why aren't you
answering your phone?

Oh, erm, I left it downstairs.

I was asleep.

Dave needs money for the cab.

I told him he didn't
need to walk me up.

No.

No, still, probably a
good idea though, eh.

Mum? The money?

Er...

Yeah.

Yeah, one second.

Yeah?

There you go darling.

There you go. Why
you being so weird?

Yeah, erm...

Listen, can you, erm...

Would you mind going to the hospital
and staying with Nan tonight?

She's asleep. Yeah,
yeah, I know, I just...

I'd just feel a lot better.

Would you mind? I've got
school tomorrow. I know.

I wouldn't ask if
it wasn't important.

I'm tired. Kyle, please.

Can't I just go in? Kyle.

Look...

the thought of Nan alone.

After what happened, I just...

Please.

Just go back to the
hospital with Dave.

Now.

Fine.

Good boy. You're
so weird, man.

I love you!

STRAINED WHIMPER

LOCKS CLUNKING

Get in there!

Got you right where I
want you now, don't I?

PANTING

No...

Don't even talk, yeah?

Keep your fucking mouth shut.

Are you scared?

Yeah?

You should be.

You're fitter up
close, you know that?

We were joking about it, but...

Troops is right, you
are quite fit, you know?

I mean, I was saying, nah,
man, she's miles past it.

But I didn't notice
those nice legs.

These nice lips.

How old are you?

Did I say you could speak?!

You know what? Sit down!

Sit down!

See the other guy, yeah...

He just broke.

We burnt up his van,

climbed in his garden...

The guy was terrified.

Practically knocked down
the police station door,

to get his name taken
off the witness list.

But you...

We messed with your son!

We trashed your shop.

We put your mum...

We put your mum in hospital.

You could've walked away,

and all this, yeah,
would've gone.

What's it even
matter to you anyway?

Some guy you ain't even met killed
some junkie you ain't even met.

Just let it go, for fuck's sake!

Yeah?

And now...

now you're gonna die for it.

It's dumb, man.

Where's your boy's dad?

Cos like I said...

..you're quite fit.

You know, for an old woman.

OK...

SOFT CHUCKLE

I mean not like
old, old, you know,

just like, quite old.

Like a mum.

Yeah.

Yeah, like a mum.

How long have you had
him in your pocket?

Him?

The police?

What's it matter to you?

What was it?

Was it money?

It was fucking anything.

Police pay is shit.

Oh, don't take it personal.

All police are scum
like that, trust me.

You know, I know kids like you.

Yeah?

Yeah? What do you know?

What do you know
about kids like me?!

I know that you think
you've got no other choice.

I know that deep down,
you're just scared.

QUIET LAUGHTER

Scared?

Scared!

I've never been
scared in my life.

I walk down the
street and I've got...

I've got grown fucking men crossing
the road to get out of me way.

I go in a shop where
I'm from, yeah...

..and they know me, do you
understand what I'm saying?

They're handing out freebies.

Scared.

Scared...

People get scared when
they've got stuff to lose.

What have I got to be scared of?

Everyone has something.

You don't know.
You! You don't know.

I did it because of you. OK?

What? You. What?

I did it because of you.

Your mates. Your boss.

I wanted to hurt the
people that hurt me.

You want to know where
my husband is? Well...

..he died when my son was five.

He was an addict.

He was trying not to be.

But you guys just
wouldn't let go.

Freebies, deals,
coming to his work...

Coming to our house.

Every time he got clean,
you were just there again,

getting your fingers in him,
and dragging him back in.

The night he died, he was
trying to break into a house.

He fell off a
garage roof, and...

smashed his head
on the pavement.

When they gave his
phone back to me...

the last message
was from you lot.

It said, "Two for one deals,
all weekend. While stocks last."

"While stocks last."

Like it's fucking
B&Q or something.

What's this guy to you? What's
it matter if he goes to prison?

You still want to
push drugs? There's...

plenty of other dickheads
around you can do it for.

Well...

You see, Jodie...

..I enjoy it.

Right.

Cos it seems to me
like you hate it.

You know you're gonna spend

the best part of your life
in a prison cell after this.

While other kids your
age are out having fun.

Oh, I'll be having fun, Jodie.

Don't you worry about
me! You're joking, right?

You'll be the first
up against the wall.

You mean nothing to them.

You know, why didn't
you leave, huh?

What? If you... If
you hate us SO much,

why didn't you just take
your husband and leave,

yeah?

Cos you know what I see
when I see someone like him?

I see a cashpoint.

And I'm not being cold,
yeah, that's just the truth.

Why am I gonna let that go?

I am never gonna let that go.

So why didn't you just take
your husband and leave?

Yeah? You should have stood by him,
instead of letting us get to him!

You should have protected him!

You know, it's your
fucking family, isn't it?

You have no fucking idea!

I had a son...

coming home from school seeing
his dad passed out on the sofa.

Riding in the back of ambulances

like it was a normal
thing on a Tuesday night.

No, I was protecting my son.

Something your piece of shit
mother would know nothing about.

QUIET, SHAKY BREATH

WHISPERS: Fuck you.

Right.

Fuck you.

FUCK YOU!

You know nothing of my mother.

YOU KNOW NOTHING OF
MY FUCKING FAMILY!

Don't you ever fucking
bring up my mother again!

I could kill you right now,
right here. So easy it is!

So, thanks for coming
to meet me, Phillip.

Your teacher, Mr Lookman,
we go all the way back.

He says you're quite
smart when you want to be.

Which most of the
time you don't.

Help yourself.

Thanks.

So listen.

Mr Lookman thought you
might be looking for a job.

Might help with the
situation at home,

bit of money in your pocket,

take it back to your
mum and whatnot.

Right. It's just the
two of you, yeah?

No, I've got a little brother,
too, but... he's young.

OK.

I got all these flyers for the
restaurant that need delivering.

Couple of hours at the weekend,
couple of hours after school.

Easy, right?

And, erm... how
much do you pay?

Look, there's no
minimum for under 16s,

so bear in mind I could
pay a lot less than this.

But I pay minimum wage,

£4.62 an hour, fair's fair.

PHONE RINGING

£4.62?

Oi, Gabi, can you
come here a sec?

Wait here.

Nah, but, for
real... DOOR DINGS

Handing out flyers.

Slave labour, Phil.

Trust me.

All right.

You wanna make some real money,

just give me a call.

See you later, yeah?

Yeah.

OK, OK, I'm back, I'm back.

I'm telling you, Phillip, this
is the thing about business,

you're always on call. Always.

So...

What do you think,
Mr Dragons' Den?

You ready to jump on
the career ladder?

Think about it.

But remember, when I was your
age, if you see an opportunity...

AIRY SYNTHS FADE IN

Where are you from?

Not round here, that's for sure.

Seems like you're a
long way from home.

From what?

You know, when I first had...

..Kyle, I was
practically a teenager.

I couldn't do it.

I didn't know what to
do with myself, I...

didn't know what to
do with him. I just...

I just wanted to be out
with my mates, having fun.

What I didn't want was a kid.

I was too proud to
ask for help, and...

..too selfish to look after him.

What I'm trying to say is...

I could have gone...
another way, you know?

Yeah, but it didn't.

Cos you're a fighter, innit?

Like me.

I...

Well, I guess I just got lucky.

It was Kyle, you said, yeah?

Is he good to you,
your son, yeah?

He is, yeah, s-sometimes.

You keep tabs on him, don't you?

Proper strict mum.

Jodie's son, Kyle.

Hm.

What's your name?

They call me Po.

Yeah, well, wha-
what's your real name?

Phil.

Phil.

Well, you were right, Phil.

About what?

I should've left.

I should've taken my husband,

and got him as far away
from here as possible.

I should've taken him
somewhere he could recover,

somewhere he could be
safe, but instead, the...

SHE SIGHS

All right, the... the
truth is I threw him out.

I threw him out, and told
him to cope by himself.

I mean what kind of
wife does that, huh?

What kind of person does that?

You know, they told me...

..when he hit his head, it took
him four and a half hours to die.

Four and a half hours, just...

..just lying there in the rain.

SHE SNIFFS

I...

I can help you.

No.

I can help you.

It doesn't have to be like this.

You can walk away.

You have other choices now.

Phil...

Phil, listen to me.

I can make things better.

Phil, look at me.

Phil.

It doesn't have to
end like this. OK?

I have friends that
I can take you to.

And they can get you
out of this gang.

How can your friends
get me out of this?

Look at me. You...

You don't know anything.
No, I do. No, you don't!

You can't fucking
help me, Jodie!

Get up.

Get up! Get the fuck up!

Get up!

You can't fucking help me!

There's no escape
for me now, Jodie!

There's no fucking escape!

FUCK! FUUUUCK!

SHE SHRIEKS THWACK

Me and Kyle, we need
to get somewhere safe.

What time did you
leave here last night?

And you didn't see
anything suspicious?

Patience. Nearly there now.
