The Curse (2022) s02e05 Episode Script

Ola.
That shouldn't be allowed.
It's cruel.
Gasolina?
Where's this?
You are here for holiday?
This. Where?
Here.
Grassy-arse.
The Mayor's prepared to proceed.
On the basis that the situation
with the press will not continue.
It won't, that is dealt with.
Good. And he wants his money as soon
as possible.
Sorting it as we speak.
I hope so,
actions speak louder than words,
but money speaks loudest of all.
You should get that on a t-shirt.
What do you mean?
Er, it was just a joke.
This is no time for jokes, Natasha.
Of course.
Have you seen Ronnie?
No. Why?
Well, he seems to have disappeared,
it's unlike him.
Really? That's that's weird.
Yeah.
I hope that you know what you're
doing, Natasha.
About what?
There's a lot to lose here,
for all of us.
Yeah. We'll get The Mayor his money
and it will all be fine.
Good.
Oi, Sid mate, what's that on your
swede?
You been scrapping, boy?
Pedalo fell on me.
What's this about anyway?
OK, look, we need someone to drive
the boat, Sid.
What for? We've got an exchange
with Pablo Escobar.
No. Count me firmly out.
I told you he didn't have
the minerals.
I don't want the minerals. I knew
this would happen,
he's good for nothing, all right, we
need to find Ronnie.
Albert, hold on, I shall find Ronnie,
if I've gotta go round this whole
town punching everyone in
the face I will. Good.
But I tell you this, I'm like a dog
with a bone, mate,
I will find Ronnie Gatlin.
Maybe I could do it actually.
You just said I'll drive the boat,
yeah because Ronnie's probably
away on
a business trip or,
in fact I think he said he was.
He didn't say anything to me about
No, it's one of those
business places,
you know Kiev I think he said or,
er, Switzerland, one of those.
OK that's very nice for him
and I'm sorry for my outburst, er, Sid.
Yeah, let's forget about Ronnie
and just.
All right, sweet, boat's sorted
then. Also, I've counted the gold.
Oh, yeah? We got three car loads. OK.
Oh, nice. And I've got you these.
Oh, presents.
They're all the rage,
that's your one.
Motorola. They're pagers,
so we can all stay in touch.
Oh, OK. We are all gonna be together
on a boat so I dunno if
Yeah, quite a small boat.
What if there's
an emergency or something?
You just call the number on
the back there,
you put in the code 505,
that means SOS all right
and we all meet back here.
That's, all sounds good but just,
because we're gonna be out at sea,
it's gonna be hard to find a phone
box. Won't be a phone box,
not at sea, there wouldn't be a phone.
Just wear the fucking pagers,
all right?
All the drug dealers are
wearing them.
These Columbians, we trust 'em?
Oh, yeah, yeah, great
firm, professional.
Sid, mate, Pablo is salt of the
earth, mate,
he's one of your own,
he even treated Albert here to
a roll about
with his favourite prostitute. Nice.
Oh, that's not strictly true,
I paid her to go into a room
with her.
I think I know how prostitutes
work, mate.
Albert.
Are you doing the deal at sea?
Look, we spoke about this,
and you agreed that you ain't gonna
micromanage me, OK?
Yeah, no, no, I know, I'm just
making conversation. Yeah.
Who's driving the boat?
Sidney's driving the boat.
Sidney? Yeah, Ronnie's gone missing
for some reason
so Sidney's driving the boat.
Yeah, er, I'm sure you know what
you're doing.
Yeah, I do thanks.
Look, I know this is hard for you to take,
not being involved
but just let me be sexy.
Let you be sexy?
Yeah, because you said it was sexy
last time when I was in control
so let me do that again, as your
husband, yeah?
Mhm. Yeah. OK, good.
I'm not sure you're using
the right sort of compass.
DISTORTED CRACKLING
Hey, where'd you go the other day?
You just disappeared.
Oh, yeah, no, sorry about that I,
I had to rush off, it was a
Oh, yeah? Bit of an emergency
you know what it's like with
the tap water out here.
Oh, yeah, tell me about it.
Yeah, no sorry I just, er, yeah,
I'm a bit funny about using other
people's toilets,
you know, I didn't wanna offend you.
Oh, that's hilarious. No, I thought you,
I thought you were scared off
because I got a bit heavy.
No, no, not at all,
no, I love that, I really love that,
the heavier the better,
give me all the gossip.
The gossip. I got you these.
Ah, muchas gracias.
De nada. Como estas? Muy bien.
Donde es Alberto? Alberto.., Albert,
oh, yeah, he's, er,
he's moving some, er, heavy
stuff today.
Ah. Boring, very boring.
Here, I've got that.
Careful, it's heavy.
That's a heavy one.
Oh. Get it, get it.
There you go. Cheers.
That's how they have it out here,
no milk,
different but I like it.
Sin leche. Yeah.
You know I feel like you were in
the middle of telling me something
last time. Oh, before you
dropped your guts.
Yeah. No, it was that thing about
you being in the paper.
Yeah, it's actually really annoying
all of that stuff,
erm, it's really fucking up my life.
Well, I don't believe what I read in
the papers.
Why don't you tell me what
really happened.
Oh, no you you really don't wanna
know about all that.
I do. I
Do you know what, erm
it means so much
to me that you came round,
popped in, love it,
so nice to have a friend
but, erm, I have to go.
You gotta go? Yeah.
Well, I just got here.
Yeah, I've just remembered that
Albert has sciatica.
Sciatica? Yeah.
Really struggles to lift things,
I've gotta help him a lot of
the time. Um, so, er, yeah.
Tash are you sure you're all
right?
You know you can talk to me.
Um, er, does that say anything
to you boys?
Hey, ask Sid. Sid. Because I've got
co-ordinates.
It's rocky, see if he can do
anything about the bumpiness.
There's nothing I can do about
the rocking, I've told you.
I've got a map here and these things
called co-ordinates,
does that say anything to you?
Yes, what we
need to do is go straight in
that direction.
What? Just straight? Yeah, just
straight as the crow flies.
How do you know it's going straight?
Crows fly straight famously.
It feels like we're just sort
of following a saying.
No, we're going in a south,
south westerly.
We need to go north,
that's what I mean.
North, no north westerly,
that's what I'm saying
north westerly direction,
leave it with me.
Sure? Yeah. You're having soup for
breakfast?
No, no, no, no.
There's something that
I simply must do,
these are the ashes of the man what I
accidentally killed, David Nelson.
Oh, what is that a lock of hair?
Sweet David Nelson,
from what I knew you were
a fairly likeable chap who
liked music
and talking in the front of
a car before being kidnapped
and this, my friend,
is where we lay your body,
well not actually his body,
some artefacts that I stole from his
naked torso.
Naked? Earth to earth,
water to sea and the ocean.
God bless you, my friend.
Urgh. Fucking hell Mick.
What was that? Mick. What?
Fucking hell. Covered in it.
Oi, Sidney mate,
you're driving over his ashes.
I didn't know you were gonna throw
them off the front of the boat.
A fine send-off that is, mate,
that's just selfish.
CLATTERING
Did you forget something, Av
Surprise.
I thought you was in prison.
Well, I'm not, I'm here.
I'm here for the gold.
I don't know where the gold is.
Don't you lie to me, Natasha.
You're lying to me.
Where is it?
I don't know.
Don't be brave. Where's the gold?
I don't know.
I'm gonna ask you again or
I will kill both of ya.
OK, I'm going back.
Wait. Wait, Thread.
He's gonna kill her.
Do you think I give a flying fuck
about the Fantonis?
She's gonna tell him where
the fucking gold is.
No, fuck that, I'm going.
Fuck it.
Fuck.
KNOCKING
Are you sure you know what
you're doing?
You've been staring at that map
for ages pulling a weird face.
Don't you blame this on me, Albert,
I never said I was
an expert map reader, did I?
You said if we pointed it
straight, we'll just get there.
Well, I don't know,
maybe we've been gradually knocked
off course by the waves.
Sidney, please tell me you haven't
led us
astray into the middle of the ocean?
I am figuring it out.
Do we have any supplies? Like a
fishing rod so we can catch fish?
We've got no way to cook it.
We could eat it raw, like bears do.
I'm not eating raw fish. Why are you
talking about fish anyway?
We're talking about survival, Albert,
has anyone here ever drunk their
own urine? Yes.
Oh, god no, we're not drinking our
own piss.
I'm happy to drink my own,
let you boys have
a little taste of mine
but I'll only drink Albert's as he's
my cousin.
No, sorry, I'm not comfortable with that.
I'm talking about
an extreme situation here,
it's a matter of survival out here,
you'll drink my piss, mate.
I'm not gonna drink your piss, Mick.
You're lying on the floor about
to die I will hold your mouth open,
and I will piss in it as you like.
Mick please, if I'm about to die
I don't wanna just go out
with you pissing in my mouth,
if I'm dying
I'm not letting you die out here, Albert.
Right shut up, I can see them,
shut up.
You see? I told you,
your captain knew exactly what he
was doing.
Never doubt the captain.
Ahoy there. Don't fucking say ahoy
there, Jesus Christ,
play it cool for once in your
life, Sid.
Do we look ridiculous on this boat?
I'm starting to feel
self-conscious about being on a
fishing boat.
Theirs has got go faster stripes
like The A Team.
Everything's gonna be fine,
all right? It's gonna be great.
Hello, boy, how you doing mate?
You all right?
Hello, er, buenos dias, como estas?
Pablo is here?
Phil, why have they all got machine
guns, mate?
I dunno, mate. Nice, welcome aboard guys,
nice to meet you all.
Cocaine? Where's
Yeah, where is the cocaine?
Cocaine first?
First, you give cocaine then we give
you the gold.
First cocaine then gold.
Or you take the gold and then we take
cocaine, no problem.
We board your vessel to get the
cocaine, we need the boof, mate.
I thought this was your mates.
Yeah, they was a lot friendlier back
in Medellin.
Have you brought cocaine in bags?
Anyone got any cocaine?
Captain? Captain. That's me, Phil Pocket.
He might mean me
because I'm the boat captain.
I know but I've been speaking to
Pablo that's what he calls me, the Captain.
Do you mean boat captain?
Si si, boat captain.
Boat captain? Just, just to say if
this is a, er, cocaine testing situation
Vamos, vamos, vamos. ..I don't really
have the palette for that.
Did you see any cocaine now,
Sid, mate?
OK, I go, OK.
Oh, woah woah woah,
there's no need for that, mate,
he didn't have a machine gun.
That's barking. What's going on?
Sidney, you go on I'll,
I'll stay here.
Boys, I've figured it out,
they've got a smaller rigger boat
with the cocaine on it,
that's why they've taken me as
the driver.
That makes sense. Yeah, I'm
comfortable with that, I'm happy
with that.
Albert? It makes sense,
they're putting it on
a rigger boat and they'll bring
it back.
If you're happy with that, I'm happy
with that. Is there a rigger boat?
I can't see any cocaine. What?
I can't see any cocaine.
Just calm down,
you're embarrassing us.
Very slick how they done this it's
sort of like how I would do it.
Yeah, yeah,
I can imagine you'd do something
like this.
Do you think we should follow them
or what are we supposed to do?
Well, we can't without Sid.
Where do you suppose they've parked
the rigger boat?
They probably anchored it up just
over the horizon,
yeah, er, everything's fine.
Yeah? You sure? Yeah. It's fine,
it's good, it's fine,
I'm happy, I'm happy if everyone
I mean
they've got all our gold
and we haven't got the cocaine
but that, that's fine, isn't it?
That's, yeah that's wait,
what are they doing now?
What they seem to be doing is
throwing Sidney overboard.
Oh, yeah. Sidney. Do you have eyes
on the rigger boat?
Come on, mate. What did they say?
Did you get the cocaine?
No, I didn't get the fucking
cocaine. They threw me overboard.
Yeah, we was wondering about that,
what happened mate?
Yeah, did you say something
to annoy them?
What? No, I didn't say something
to annoy them.
They threw me off the boat
because I'm the captain.
Yeah, but why though?
Look, so we couldn't follow
them obviously.
It's the equivalent of throwing
the car keys in the hedge,
except there aren't any fucking
hedges in the sea.
But you still have the keys
for the boat?
Do boats have keys? I'm the keys.
I'm the fucking keys.
You're missing the whole point,
they've fucking stolen all our gold.
Albert, what we gonna do?
I don't fucking know, Sid.
I know what we're gonna do,
we're gonna fucking chase 'em
Oh, great, the big man steps up, yeah?
Oh, and if we manage to catch them,
which we almost certainly won't,
I'm sure you're gonna let them all
have it with your big gun.
What, you think I don't know
how to shoot it?
You've never killed a man in your
life. I'll fucking shoot you.
Yeah? Do it. Stop it, Phil stop it, Phil.
You put that gun down now,
you're making Albert cry.
I'm not crying, all right,
there's just shock in my eyes
because we've lost the fucking gold.
This is a big misunderstanding,
do they not know who we are?
What are you talking about?
Don't you get it?
We're not cut out for this, none of
us are, we're nobodies.
Tash is gonna fucking kill me.
Ma McTavish was right,
she warned us,
the gold there is cursed,
since we come across it,
we've been showered
with shitty luck,
buggered with misfortune,
finding that gold,
that's the worst thing that's ever
happened to us.
Where's the gold?
It's just down here.
You are a bad man.
Aren't we all?
Stay where you are, Cornell.
Is that where the gold is, Fantoni?
There is no gold.
Have you set me up?
You'd better not be lying to me.
Well, she is a fucking liar, ain't
she Clive,
you can see there's no gold there.
Now the game's over,
put down your gun.
I ain't putting anything down.
Spanish plod's on their way as
we speak,
they've got a tendency to shoot
first, ask questions later, Clive.
Show me the gold. Clive, this ain't
your style, is it, shooting women.
Show me the fucking gold. Cornell.
Argh!
If you've set me up
and you're lying to me,
I'll put one right in your fucking
belly right now.
You're not getting the gold.
Yes, I am!
No, you're fucking not.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I should, I should kill you.
Why would you do that? Hey? Hm?
Because you're a fucking thief
and I can't let you get away
with it.
Yes, you can,
we're not the bad guys,
we're not the bad guys.
Yeah, we stole some gold
but what difference would that make
to whoever we stole it from? Eh?
We just wanted a little earner,
you know how we grew up,
you know where we've come from,
we just wanted a way out
for our kids.
We didn't know it would end up like
this. We're not killers.
Argh!
SHE SOBS
