The Assassin (2025) s01e02 Episode Script

- [dramatic, tense music burst]
- [rain pouring]
[Ned] Welcome to Graphic Novel
and Comic book Art.
So yesterday with my colleague,
Lady Shithead,
you covered the basics.
- [light, easy-going music]
- Faces, frames, proportions anatomy.
Today, we're gonna focus on
getting a complete scene down.
- [light, easy going music continuing]
- Trying to get all
the core elements
H-hi, this is Graphic Novel
and Comic Book Art.
Are you sure you're in the right place?
Okay then
I was, uh, just
Doing a complete scene, yes,
I heard you from outside.
Okay, so, it can be
about anything that you want.
But I would urge you
to try and dig a little bit deeper,
and find something
that means something to you.
Write what you know.
- Sam.
- Hm?
With that in mind, what's yours about?
Er like I think
Ninjas?
And you
- Marie.
- Yes.
What is yours gonna be about?
Mine will be about Edward.
[intriguing music]
[theme music playing]
[Kayla] So here we all are,
Edward, your mum
It's so nice to meet you.
And you.
[Kayla] God, you guys are soaking
Sorry, erm, here Here
Sorry, just
showing up like this, I
I don't know where to start
There are gunmen on the island
and they're killing people.
They chased us to the shore,
so unless you'd like us to be next,
I suggest you move this boat
as far away as possible.
[suspenseful music]
Are you--
S-sorry, erm are you guys joking?
- Do I look like I'm fucking joking?
- We need to go now.
Please.
Alex! Can you tell the captain
to set course for Athens?
- Of course. Sure.
- Yeah. Right now. Thank you.
Er, come inside, I'll
I'll get you guys some dry clothes.
- [Kayla] Are you okay?
- Yeah.
My brother should have
something for you guys to wear.
Julie, just help yourself to anything
in my wardrobe. I'll be right back, okay?
So, how am I supposed to explain
any of this to her?
- Say what you saw, just nothing about me.
- Oh, right. More lies.
- What do you mean?
- My mum not tell you she's a hitwoman?
- Didn't come up?
- Keep your voice down.
- You may be comfortable lying, I'm not.
- The less people know, the better.
- Especially her.
- What does that mean?
Did he say hitwoman?
You said you were looking for answers
before we swam here.
What did you mean?
Look, my
my old boss called me,
or someone pretending to be him,
with a job.
Okay? And the target was
Who?
It was Kayla.
- Kayla?
- [Kayla] My brother's got expensive taste,
but he's also got no taste, so
- [Edward] Oh.
- apologies, guys.
Ezra, he's here
It'll be good to meet him.
Not sure you'll be saying that
after you meet him.
We're moving.
Julie, I'll show you
where the guest bathroom is.
Oh, did you, er did you not
find anything in my wardrobe?
Er ppfff.
It's all a bit over the top for me.
There must be a crew uniform
or something knocking around.
[Kayla] Er, okay.
[Vasyl] You fucked up, Dutchman
[Jasper pleading] Please, tell me
what I can do to make this right, again.
[pleading] No, no. Please.
You should know
that money brings goodwill here.
Enough goodwill for a guard to tell me
that you are filthy cunt snitch.
[agonised screams and shudders]
- [lingering suspenseful music]
- [shocked] Oh
[Vasyl] Mh.
Chichi must die.
[suspenseful music intensifies]
[water lapping]
[uplifting music]
[Julie] Oh, snazzy
Don't
- You look, er
- Don't.
Ah, you guys must be our guests.
Ezra, K's brother.
I cannot believe
what you guys have been through,
sounds full on.
- 'Full on'?
- Yeah. Like proper full on.
Well, thanks for
Oh, Christ. Least we could do,
what you guys have been through
Anyway
Would you guys like a tour of the yacht?
Come on.
Why would a bunch of armed men
turn up on some tiny island?
What did they want?
I
don't know.
[suspenseful music]
I'm just so glad that you're okay.
and here is where it gets sexy:
The wellness centre.
Yes, check this out
I got this modded,
so it gets to 180 Celsius
in just five minutes.
Do you know how hot that shit is?
- [Luka] Very hot.
- Yeah, you could cook a chicken
in that bad boy. Maximum sweattage.
[Julie] What's this then?
Ah. The Aaron Cross.
To me, he's just Dad.
Although I do mainly call him Aaron.
Seems a bit unfair that Aaron gets
the hard hat and the bald guy doesn't.
What's 'CGM'?
Cross Global Mining. The family biz.
Wahey! Here he is! Eddie!
Hey, great to have you here, man!
We need to talk stag!
And you work for them too, do you?
I do, yeah.
In the charity side of things though.
How long?
Er five years
And what kind of work
do you do exactly?
- Spare her the third degree, Mum.
- Oh, it's fine. I don't mind
Okay, on with the tour
Ez, they've been shot at.
They need a drink and something to eat,
not every exhaustive detail
of your penis extension.
Come on.
Erm, you think someone wants her dead
because she works for a mining company?
Is that what
your Spanish Inquisition was about?
[distant motor running]
Is that a jet ski out there?
- What? I don't know
- [Kayla] You coming?
[Edward] Yeah. Yeah, I am coming, darling.
[suspenseful music]
You liking the 30-year aged MacCaledon,
my brother?
It's better with ice,
kinda mitigates the peatiness
I watched people I love bleeding
into the dirt as they drew
their last breath on this Earth.
I give no fucks at all about ice.
Okay
Brother?
Wait where's your mum?
- [safety catch clicks]
- [suspenseful music]
[sniffing]
[sniffing]
[intriguing, suspenseful music]
Sean?
Sean? I know you're there.
[sarcastically]
Lynx deodorant. A man of your age.
I smell divine, and you know it.
- How'd you find me?
- By not being shit at my job.
The fat sum out for you,
there's a lot of people
gonna want a contract like that.
- I'm flattered.
- Wanna tell me why you're worth so much?
Our line of work, you
make a lot of enemies, don't you?
Is that why you retired?
I thought you had
a couple of good years left.
Hm, well, this has been fun.
You're not really gonna kill me, are you?
Oh, come on.
I'm here as a friend, Jules.
Well, why don't you lower that gun?
- Why don't we both lower our guns?
- You first.
I wouldn't shoot you, Jules.
Professional courtesy, if nothing else.
You might think you're in deep shit now,
but it is deeper and shittier
than you thought.
I think Damian's dead.
- Why would you say that?
- Zero communication for four days now.
- The fixers have started to notice.
- Well, Damian's a cockroach there.
Whatever rock he's hiding under,
he's not dead.
Oh Woah, woah, woah.
It's alright, easy.
Think I owe you this.
What?
Oh, come on,
I know we'd had a few ouzos,
but I didn't think you'd forget our bet.
First one to get a price
on their head wins ten pounds.
- Right.
- Mmm
I did forget.
So
we can have one last drink
before you drop off the face of the Earth.
For old-time's sake.
[Edward] Mum?
- Who's this?
- Oh, hello. I'm
- I'm Sean.
- This is Sean.
That doesn't go anywhere close
to answering my question.
I'm your father.
Oh, shut up, you twat!
- He's not.
- No, I'm not.
Sorry. No,
I'm in the same business as your mum.
- You know, waste control
- He knows.
Oh, okay, I, erm I kill people.
- Yeah, I got that. Why is he here?
- Just an old pal.
I owed her ten quid.
- Again, I have questions.
- Well, I find questions are best
over a cold beer, and I imagine
this place has got a hell of a bar
Yeah, no one is going to the bar.
How am I supposed to explain
how you got here or who you
[Kayla] Ed You've been gone for ages.
[surprised] Oh
[Julie] Hi
This is, er, Sean.
He's an old friend of mine.
He was well,
he was all ready to go windsurfing
when the shooting started and, er,
he followed us from the dock.
I hope that's alright.
Oh, my God, yeah, of course.
Are you alright?
Yeah, I'm okay.
Would you like a change of clothes?
That'd be great.
Okay
Hey, that's my son's fiancée,
- you dirty old bastard.
- Oh, a man can look.
You've not changed.
- [intriguing music]
- [chatter]
[fly buzzes]
[alarm sounds]
[suspenseful music continuing]
[music intensifies]
Why did you stop me?
Come.
- [flustered] Hey! Come on.
- I just got an interesting call.
A man called Aaron Cross.
He seemed cross as well!
[chuckles]
[chuckles nervously]
This is not funny, Dutchman.
- Okay
- Aaron did not even wait for me to speak.
Such a hurry he was in.
He said 'hold tight'.
He will get you out.
Why didn't you say,
you had a way out of this shithole?
I'm I didn't know how
it would work out,
I I mean I
he really said that he would get me out?
Us, Dutchman.
Get us out.
Oh. Okay, no, I, yeah
I can take you with me
And you, I mean,
we will all get out, of course
We looked up Aaron Cross.
Very rich. Very powerful.
Why would he break
a little man like you out of prison?
You are fucking him?
[amused] No! No, no, I'm not fucking him.
Okay, I I was, er
I was head of I
for the Cross Clover Mining company
and then I came across something
in his emails
So you would like to share this
information with the group, Dutchman?
From the No. I mean, that's
I mean I can't
- [traditional music]
- [struggling] Oh hey
Arrgh, what are you doing? Hey, guys!
- Ah
- [panicked] No! No, no, no
- Now you tell me everything
- No, no, please, please Argh!!
- [crunching, squelching]
- [blood-curdling screams]
[Ezra]
A yacht's more than a floating hotel,
it's a way of life, just you, the sea
The chef, mixologist, and crew, obvs.
Right, come on then, selfie time!
- A nice yacht selfie!
- [Kayla chuckles]
Lovely
Do you know what, I look fantastic.
Do you mind if I send this to myself?
- Yeah, go for it
- Okay, great.
Well, now you've got my number as well,
so, er everyone wins.
Tell you what, you have picked yourself
one hell of a mother-in-law.
Really? Ed doesn't really talk
about her much, to be honest.
- No?
- No.
Well. She's, er she's complicated.
How do you mean?
But she's in danger.
- Mum, she should know.
- We have no idea what's going on.
Going to her with a fraction of the story
isn't gonna help.
She's safe while I'm here, okay?
What do you know about the brother?
Ezra Why?
He's a shifty one.
Barely looked at his sister all night.
Stop trying to change the subject.
I'm not gonna lie to Kayla forever, okay?
I'm not you.
[Julie scoffs] Well, that's painful.
- Accurate, but painful.
- That should be on your business card.
Look, when we're out of danger,
you can tell her,
- what ever the hell you want, okay?
- We? It's you they're after.
You don't think
they'd use you to get to me?
Good to hear.
- Well it is what it is.
- I'll tell you what it is.
It's fucking karma.
I dunno what you mean.
I mean,
you kill human beings for a living, Mum.
And what kind of person can just take
a life? Dozens of lives
Doesn't it bother you?
A bullet in the head
or a knife in the back,
I felt exactly the same,
every time I killed someone
Absolutely nothing.
[phone dings]
[slow, intriguing music]
Excuse me.
[Ezra] Alright, everyone. Let's eat!
Why Greece?
Hm?
When you retired.
Why d'you choose Greece?
It was quiet.
Stylite.
They were Christians,
they would climb a pillar and live there.
And preach. Fast. Pray.
They suffer to save their souls.
And this is what we call Miss Julie
on the island.
And then she came down
from her pillar
and she saved us.
[Kayla] Saved you?
- What does that mean?
- [chef] Beef tartare
with soy, sesame, egg yolk, and scallions.
Wait, what what does he mean
by, er, saved you?
Pfff! I wouldn't say
running in terror for the marina,
while they all followed me
counts as "saving" anybody but
But you made it out alive, so
Luck.
Cheese fork?
Haven't seen one of those for ages.
Well, whoever came up with that
deserves no credit whatsoever, do they?
So what about your friend?
He just get lucky as well? Following you.
Yes, he did.
Where's he at anyway?
[fire alarm sounds]
Don't worry!
They test them every few days
- [whispers] Keep everyone here.
- Why, what's going on?
Oh, fuck.
[alarm continues]
[suspenseful music]
[alarm stops]
[suspenseful music]
[gunshots]
[suspenseful music continuing]
[music stops]
Julie?
I know you don't have your gun.
So just come on out
and we'll finish this nice and quick.
No one gets caught in the crossfire.
[upbeat suspenseful music]
- [jingling]
- [gunshot]
[Julie grunts]
- [thud lands]
- [Sean] Oh, fuck!
Now you've made everything
really fucking complicated.
- I thought we were friends.
- Yeah, we are.
The contract on you's gone wide.
Price has tripled. So
Highest bidder.
You always were
a spineless amoral little fuck.
Yeah, well, highest bidder.
- You know, they sent Pavel after me.
- Oh, yeah, how is he?
- He's dead.
- Yeah, well. No hard feelings, Jules.
I really do respect you
- Arrgh!
- [Ezra] Engineers saying
no heat sensors went off,
so looks like someone hit the alarm
- by accident
- By accident?
[Ezra] Who wants this miso broccoli?
Otherwise, it's got my name
written on its little green head.
[Kayla] No one in the crew would do that.
Your mum's friend was the only person
out of the room when it went off.
And then your mum disappears.
I mean, what the fuck is going on?
They're not just friends.
- What do you mean?
- They're banging, aren't they?
Prefer not to use that word
referring to my mum.
- Banging!
- Please stop.
- [body slam]
- [Julie groans, gasps]
[Julie panting]
[Sean grunts]
Motherfucker!
[soft suspenseful music]
You've been out the game too long, Jules.
Lost your edge.
[panting]
At least I had an edge, to begin with.
You were never any good without a gun
in your fat little hands.
No need to get personal.
- [Julies grunts]
- Oh, okay
They're very up and down,
relationship-wise,
it's very Affleck and J-Lo
er, and they had this big argument,
before the shooting,
and, er, haven't worked it through.
[blade slicing and clinking]
What, he set off the fire alarm
to get your mum's attention?
That would seem to be
what I'm saying, yeah.
- [grunting]
- [blade slicing and clinking continuing]
[cookware crashing]
Why would he set off the fire alarm?
Oh, he loves drama.
Yeah, I mean,
why just call someone's name in life
when you can set off a fire alarm
and make a real statement.
But it is actually pretty serious,
because his behaviour can be very erratic.
[grunting and groaning]
[banging]
Oh, my God. Like what?
Erm other
bells you know. Noises.
Like the other night on the island,
he just started ringing this bell
at three a.m. for attention.
He sounds fucking crazy.
Yeah, he does, doesn't he?
He sounds absolutely insane.
But my mum loves him.
And the heart wants what it wants.
- [Sean groans]
- [Julie] Cunt
I don't wanna kill you, Sean.
[goading] Oh, but you do
because that's who we are, isn't it?
- It's just a job
- No, no, no
There's a darkness in us.
But they just don't get it, do they?
Because it isn't just for the money
that we do it. Is it?
Shouldn't we go and see if she's okay?
If he's setting off fire alarms--
Oh, no, no, she's fine.
She can handle herself.
You gonna creme brûlée me?
Do you know why I never fucked you, Sean?
Fat little hands, was it?
[exasperated]
'Cause you never stop talking.
Now shut the fuck up and just die!
[Julie gasps] Shit.
[Sean screams]
- [suspenseful music]
- [groaning]
[Julie choking] Help me!
This used to be a proper line of work.
It was glamorous, even.
Now we're Uber Eats with a Glock.
You should've stayed retired.
[Julie choking]
[Sean screams]
[Sean screams]
[panting and groaning]
- [gurgles] What did you do that for?
- What?
[thud]
- [Sean thuds to the floor]
- [chef] Run! Run!
- [Kayla] What the fuck?
- Yuto? What what's going on?!
[breathlessly] Oh, you stupid bastard.
[Kayla gasps]
[Edward] Oh, shit
Probably some things I should tell you.
[groans]
- [Vasyl] Welcome back, Sleeping Beauty!
- [groaning]
Don't worry
Grigor had made a first aid course once.
- No?
- [groaning]
Maybe that was Yuri.
God rest his soul.
Anyway, perhaps now you'll tell us
what we want to know.
Chantaines.
- What?
- Chantaines.
That's what I read in the email.
That's what Aaron Cross--
- [guard] Jasper de Voogdt. Right?
- [Jasper] Yeah.
- [Vasyl] Where is Grigor?
- [gunshot]
- [groaning]
- [guard] Let's go!
[frightened gasps]
[Jasper] Are we going out?
[stuttering] Are we going outside?
[door buzzes]
- [Edward] I was gonna tell you
- [Kayla] When? Before or after
your hitwoman mother killed a man
while we ate fucking sushi next door?
Ex.
Ex. Hitwoman. I retired.
Except you didn't.
Otherwise, you would never have taken
- the job to kill me.
- Which I did not do.
Should probably get some credit for that.
You're welcome.
That's why those gunmen
were on the island. For her.
Why would they massacre an entire village?
Scorched earth.
Leave no witnesses.
I had no idea about any of this,
before today, I I literally hours ago.
I swear, I'd have told you.
- Any idea who might want you dead?
- No! No one wants me dead!
The sooner we find out,
the sooner we can get on with our lives.
So, think. Really fucking think.
I mean, you work
for a mining company, right?
You must get death threats from
those nutjobs who lie in front of buses.
Caring about the environment
doesn't make you a nutjob.
- Is that why you only eat mushrooms now?
- Look, I run a charitable department.
Okay?
I have never received a death threat!
Ever, in my life!
This is not about me, okay?
So please stop making it out like it is.
You're right. It can't be a coincidence
that they hire you
to kill your future daughter-in-law.
You brought her here, Edward.
To my doorstep.
When the contract went out,
who d'you think they'd call?
- Bullshit, everyone is collateral damage.
- We can stand here debating this
or try and work out who's behind it,
'cause the Pavels, and Seans of this world
are gonna keep on coming after us,
until we are dead.
We should go to Tirana.
What? Al Albania Why?
'Cause the last I heard,
that was where Damian was living.
Damian's her real boyfriend.
He's my handler. Keep up, Edward.
Fine, okay
[Julie] As to where in Tirana
Damian will be holed up
Sean might have known.
He always was a nosy bastard.
[Kayla]
Hi, can we please set a new destination?
Er, the closest port to Tirana, Albania.
Thank you.
Kayla, I'm, er I'm so, so sorry.
About all of this. My mum
and Sean and all that weird shit I said
about the bells
None of this has gone
how it's supposed to.
Yeah, I just, erm
I need a minute. This is just a lot.
Yes, it's
A fair amount.
[Ezra whispering] Yes
[indistinct whispered muttering]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[hushed] Yes, I want her gone.
That's what I'm saying to you
Okay. Done. Done.
[Jasper] Excuse me. Why did you kill them?
I'm wondering, was it Aaron Cross
that ordered you to?
[guard]
You know, you talk a lot. Talk less.
[Jasper] Yes.
Go.
Er
Ah, it's locked
[pistol clicks]
- [gunshot]
- [Jasper gasps]
Oh, my God.
- Aagh.
- Chill.
[gasping]
Yes, she has to go.
That's what I'm saying.
She's gone, but there is shit happening
I do not have the time to fill you in on,
and it's making it complicated,
so stand down, yeah?
Stand down and wait for my call.
[exhales]
You're not as quiet as you think.
[Edward] So
how do you like my mother?
[Kayla laughs]
Oh, my
[Kayla sighs]
- I thought my dad was a lot.
- Silver linings, then. When I meet him,
it cannot possibly go worse than this.
Do you think if I left you, she'd kill me?
Oh, I'm certain of it.
God Okay. So,
I'm either trapped in a loveless marriage
or I'm just, what, garrotted in my sleep?
Well, I feel like sniper rifle
seems to be more her thing.
- Or maybe a cheese fork.
- [both chuckle]
Now, I really miss
when all we had to worry about
was just telling people
we were engaged after six months.
Those were the good old days, huh?
We should go back.
In a bit.
I don't think we're missing much.
- Open the door, you crazy bitch!
- After you've answered some questions.
It's so hot in here!
Yeah, 180 in five minutes, wasn't it?
'Maximum sweattage'?
- That's way too hot!
- Isn't that's the idea?
- Who made a sauna this hot?!
- You tell me.
What do you want?
Did you send the order?
Send what order?
What do you mean?
The guy who modded the sauna said
you should never turn it up this high.
- Hm.
- It's really dangerous, man! Please!
I heard you talking.
I know that you're lying, Ezra
Mum What what are you doing?
- What are you
- I heard your brother on the phone.
What were your exact words?
'I want her gone'?
So, now you think
my brother's behind this?
No idea.
I just wanna find out what he meant.
So, you're roasting him?
Kayla, Kayla,
tell this crazy woman to let me out.
Look, I heard what I heard.
- Well, did you say that?
- You're gonna take her side?
- Are you sure?
- He's hiding something.
- I could actually die in here, guys!
- Why would he want me dead?
- Maybe someone's forcing him into it.
- I'm ringing Dad.
And he is going to be so pissed off.
- Fuck!
- Maybe that's enough, now.
You're torturing him.
- Don't you wanna find out?
- Mum, enough
Well, he hasn't denied it.
You haven't denied it, Ez.
'Cause it's true, right?
You said 'I want her gone'.
Okay Yes, I said it!
Who were you talking to?
- I said it to Michael.
- What, Dad's lawyer Michael?
The company lawyer. I've been
I was trying to get you out of CGM.
Just check my phone records
if you don't believe me.
My phone's overheated,
like my entire body,
so it won't work right now
but just take it,
look at whatever you want,
please just let me out
[desperately] I'm sorry.
[gasping]
Oh, fuck
[gasping]
[Julie] Shit!
[guard] It is done.
Of course, I have him.
Just some Russian and his little rat.
[insects chirping]
How long?
We'll be here.
Excuse me, sir, who
who was that on the phone?
They will be here soon.
Maybe you you know
who is paying you, right?
- Does it matter?
- Oh, yes, my friend, it matters very much.
His name is Aaron Cross.
And he's a very, very powerful man.
Say what you want to say.
So, this Aaron Cross, yeah
I mean, he's only paying you to free me
because I am blackmailing him.
And he doesn't want me free.
He only wishes to know who else I've told.
So, he can keep his secret safe.
And then, he will make me talk.
And then, yeah he will kill me.
So? This is not my business.
But it is your business.
I'm a loose end.
And because of my association with you,
that makes you a loose end too.
Wait, wait, hear me out
Because whoever you spoke to now
they they said you would come with me,
right? They offered you more money,
they maybe said that
they need your help am I right?
- [helicopter approaches]
- [dramatic, suspenseful music]
Okay, so look,
now we don't have much time.
Just listen to me when I tell you,
as soon as that helicopter lands,
- you and me, we're both dead men.
- No. No. No. You don't know that.
You don't know none of this.
I am paid to do a job, nothing more
Yeah, no, but listen, look up Aaron Cross.
Take your telephone
and look up Aaron Cross,
and tell me that a man
with that much money and power,
doesn't see himself above all law
and all reason.
Please, look him up, sir
Quickly!
See that? I mean, I have no doubt
that they offered you more money,
but take what they gave you,
if you value your life and run.
And what about you?
Well, I am no longer your problem.
Each man to himself.
- [helicopter nearing]
- [music intensifying]
I need to wash these down.
Sure. Come in.
What's that for?
Menopause.
Oh
How about you?
It's, er they're vitamins.
It's prostate.
Yeah, statins, thyroid, aspirin, ramipril.
You win.
I win nothing.
The village and your
your friends erm
I'm so sorry.
I know.
When we dock, you
well, you can go back home.
No-one's looking for you. You'll be safe.
Go back home to what?
Everything I had there is gone.
What are you thinking about?
Oh, just reframing my entire childhood.
Thinking about every single
'business trip' my mother took.
She took a lot of business trips.
- Fuck.
- Yeah.
What did you think
that she did for a living?
I, erm
She told me she was a headhunter.
- No, she didn't?
- Yeah. I know.
[laughing] Fucking outrageous.
What were you thinking about?
I was, er
I was making a list in my head
of all the reasons
someone might want me dead.
It's not the most fun I've ever had.
I thought you said this was
just about my mum, not you
Yeah, I know I did.
Oh, fuck no,
that was just wishful thinking.
I don't know.
I got this email out of the blue
a few weeks ago
from this guy called Jasper de Voogdt.
So, he is my dad's Head of IT.
And erm he said he had some information
about some very dark shit.
Er, I'm
I'm definitely paraphrasing,
but he basically said
it was the kind of shit
that could take down
my dad's entire company,
and he needed somebody brave
- to help him 'bring it to light'.
- Shit.
He kept saying
that it all came back to one word--
Chantaines.
I'll show you
There.
Then when I tried
to get back in touch with him,
I just heard nothing.
So, I thought, I dunno,
I just thought maybe it was bullshit,
but it stayed in my head.
Oh, and I asked Ezra about it
earlier today
- and he reacted in the most bizarre way.
- Does he know what it meant?
Well, he says he doesn't.
But I don't know.
So, you think this Chantaines thing
has something to do with this?
Maybe.
And maybe me asking questions
put someone's nose out of joint.
[Kayla sighs]
Maybe I'm just being paranoid,
to be honest.
Is it paranoid
when people are actually out to get you?
Oh, there's no way
I'm gonna be able to sleep.
I'm gonna hit the treadmill.
Me neither.
I'm going to hit the, uh
biscuits, if I'm honest.
[intriguing music continuing]
[music intensifies]
[in French] I take it
you've never met Mr Cross before?
No.
But you've heard plenty.
My boss has told me things.
He likes to look smart.
More than anything.
If he's wearing a tie,
he's in a good mood, and you're fine.
And if he's not wearing a tie?
[chuckles softly]
Jacques Girard,
I am with Blacknall Security
- You get de Voogdt or not?
- No.
Mr Blacknall couldn't pick up the phone?
Well, he said this was
a sensitive conversation and you would--
I'd prefer if you had better news for me.
Well, er, we have other
Humiliating, isn't it?
A grown man slaps you in the face,
and you have to stand there
and take it like a fucking pussy.
Because that's how
your company makes me feel.
There are other companies
that do what you do, yeah?
- Yes.
- So, unless Mr Blacknall wants
to spend the rest of his life
sleeping with one eye open
I suggest he finds Jasper de Voogdt.
- I understand. I--
- Why are you still here?
If you're gonna do something,
can you just do it?
Why are you trying to get rid of me?
Charitable giving is expensive.
And honestly, image-wise,
it doesn't do much these days.
Haters gonna hate, you know?
- I was just tryna watch the bottom line.
- You were brown-nosing Dad.
Like always.
I won't do it, okay?
You can keep giving our money
away to fucking hippies.
Is this because I was asking
too many questions about Chantaines?
C'mon, I told you.
I don't know what that is.
Then why all the shady behaviour?
Lying to my face?
You've been acting so weird
I thought, if I didn't just have
the board get rid of you
I'd change my mind.
Feel bad for you or something.
Dad always says I'm weak.
So thought if I can do this
You are weak.
And you're a coward.
[scoffing]
I just I already said sorry
And you don't need to push me out.
I quit.
[Edward] One, two, three
I'm gonna have nightmares about this
for the rest of my life.
[pants]
Drinking helps.
So, what now?
Albania.
- Have you ever been?
- Nope.
They do this pie called Byrek.
Really something.
- [chuckles]
- What?
Fucking pie?
Honestly.
There was an address on Sean's phone.
It's Damian's last known whereabouts.
We go there, find Damian
And you think he's gonna
have any idea what's going on?
What?
- Kayla seems nice.
- That's not what you wanna say.
She does.
Whatever it is you're hiding from her,
you should just say it.
You're really gonna give me advice
about keeping secrets?
Right, we're, er, were gonna
be docking in about an hour.
Then we're heading
to this Damian guy's place.
We?
Well, yeah,
Ed and I are safer with you, right?
Okay then.
Weirdest fucking family road trip ever,
here we come!
[man] So, how are we all getting on?
This looks finished.
It is.
That's great work, really.
And you dug deep.
You did what I asked.
Can I ask what it is about?
[Marie]
It's about shit hitting the fan
[intriguing music intensifies heavily]
