Frauds

Shit!

Carl Deegan, we want to talk to you

about a shooting earlier this afternoon.

Guernica? You got a back-up plan?

'We just told a lunatic we have a plan.'

Yep. We need a plan, don't we?

With a restoration team in there, that rules out going in at night.

The security guard, I sort of kept in touch with him.

But now we've got a requirement for an inside man at the museum.

Hey, hey!

Roberta, are you mad with Mother?

Shouldn't Mother be mad with you?

Why, cos I went off to live my life?

What about what I was owed for having you being dumped on me?

I know you want a relationship with your mum,

but you can't get between them.

She doesn't need special treatment. I'll judge how I treat Caitlin.

I can't end up in prison like Bert did.

She took the rap because it was her rap to take.

Your decision to contact us has been key to our investigation.

GASPING

'You could have killed her, you prick.'

GRUNTING

SICKENING THUD, JACKIE GASPS

It was wild!

I am calling the police. No.

'He deserved that, yeah?'

I did the right thing.

Sam?

Yeah, you did.

I need to speak to Jackie.

No, Bert, not now. She's at the hospital.

Just need to get this back. Yeah?

And what if she blabs to the police? Just give her some space.

Look, take it home. Get some sleep.

Where are you going? To check on Caitlin.

'You've reached Jackie.' BERT GROANS

'Leave a message.'

RINGING TONE, SHE SIGHS

Come on, Jackie.

'You've reached Jackie. Leave a message.'

Fuck it.

Is he gonna be OK?

He has suffered a head trauma,

and we had to put him in an induced coma

to avoid the risk of bleeding on the brain.

He's recovering well,

but the next 12 hours are very important, OK?

You're a bloody idiot, Craig!

Jackie? No. Out!

You're rewriting what happened. Look, I was defending you.

What are you playing at? You cannot be here.

What do you want me to do? Do you want me to say sorry?

I'm sorry. Please, you can't be here.

Next of kin only. Yeah, I'm...

When you are ready, the police would like to speak with you.

Just remember why you left him, yeah?

SHE SIGHS

GLASS SHATTERS, CAR ALARM WAILS

KNOCK AT DOOR

MUFFLED SHOUTING

Hey. Hey.

He's really hurt, isn't he?

What the hell was that? Is she going to be a problem?

It was a lot, I know,

but this is what it's like with Bert.

It's exciting, but it always gets out of hand.

Sam, we don't have much time.

We can... We can keep it on track, can't we?

PHONE VIBRATES

Hey...

We can make this work.

Yeah, we can.

And if for some reason, it doesn't work,

we make sure our fingerprints are not on this job.

What if Jackie talks to the police? She won't.

She just needs to cool off.

I think she's out.

There is a version of this where we don't go through with the job.

No, there isn't.

Sam, think of the life we could have.

It's three days away.

I can manage this. I'll go see Jackie.

OK. What do you need from me?

Nothing for now. You relax.

Yeah?

Sam?

COCKEREL CROWS

All right?

Hello?

'It's Sam. Leave a message.'

Where are you?

SIGHS

Where is the controlling cow, eh?

SOFT CLUCKING

"I don't know, Bert, they've all fucked off."

Oh. Oh, have they now?

SIGHS

RINGING TONE

'It's Sam. Leave a message.'

FRUSTRATED HISS

CAITLIN, IN SPANISH:

Someone answer their fucking phone!

PHONE VIBRATES

Yeah?

'Bert. It's Blas.'

Where the hell have you been?

'There's a problem.'

THEY SPEAK SPANISH

SHE SIGHS

Jackie. Jackie.

Hey, Jackie!

You know, Bert was here, telling me she was defending me.

Didn't want to know. And then the police turned up.

And you told 'em it was Bert?

No.

I said I didn't want to talk right now.

Please don't talk to the police.

I haven't decided what I'm gonna do.

But one thing I do know - I'm out.

Without you, this whole thing falls apart.

We need you! I don't want to do it.

I can keep her on track.

No, you can't.

If you could, you'd have done it years ago.

SIGHS

Argh! Ah, fuck!

PHONE VIBRATES

Hello?

'She's out.'

She can't be.

'What the hell are we gonna do?'

Maybe I'll contact Selene, buy some more time.

And look weak? No. I'll...

'I'll finish the rig, I'll be the lookout,

'whatever it takes.'

I'm sorry, I just...

We need you on the inside.

'If anything, we need more of a distraction, not less.

'But don't worry, I'll work it out.'

Fine. Then let me handle Jackie.

'OK.' OK.

OK.

SIGHS

PHONE RINGS

HE SIGHS

Hiya, Mum.

'How long until you can come home, Bilal?'

Not long now. I'm nearly finished.

And I'll be on the first flight out of here.

'Can I see it?' Of course.

'Imagine being paid to copy a painting.

'Oh, Bilal, it is beautiful.'

HE CHUCKLES

Yeah, it's all in the glazing with Dali.

'Give over. Never mind Dali. You did that!

'Bilal, you can do anything you set your mind to.'

Thanks, Mum.

SIGHS

SHE CHUCKLES, HE SIGHS

All right?

The watch you gave me, the police chased me to question me about it.

Well, if you'd have given it to Maria like I asked,

then no-one would chase you anywhere.

If you hadn't given me a stolen watch,

then I wouldn't have been trying to sell...

You think I got it out of a Christmas cracker?

It's too risky for me at the museum right now.

What's wrong?

You. You're what's wrong? Hanging around here.

You're embarrassing yourself like a dog with its dick out.

Now get back to the Reina Sofia.

Don't talk to me like that. Or what?

Or I'll let Sam know that you're lying.

Yeah?

Or the authorities. Yeah?

Then I'll let the authorities know that you help me lie about cancer.

So you knock yourself out.

Maybe it's me that should give someone a call.

You do that, you'll end up back in prison.

LAUGHS

You think I give a shit about that?

I tell you someone who wouldn't fare well in prison.

You.

See, they love ex-screws inside.

You think about all that lovely attention you'd get.

Stop crying and get back to work.

Hey. You need to rein it in.

What? Well, Jackie's out,

we still don't have a distraction and Blas just called.

What did he want? The police are onto him.

Yeah. I spoke to him.

Well, we can't expect him to manage it.

Yeah, OK, well, you manage Jackie, and I'll manage Blas.

No, you need to let me deal with everyone.

How am I (?)

Cheers for asking (!)

I got into a fight defending our mate.

I wonder how I am (!)

You're right. How are you? I'm OK.
