Kidnapped (2024) s01e02 Episode Script

1
(Lukasz) You don't recognise me,
do you, Chloe?
(intense music playing)
(Lukasz) There was no studio.
No photoshoot.
You belong to Black Death now.
In five days,
you will be put up for auction.
But I talked to my boss,
and he offered you a chance
to pay for your freedom.
He wants 300,000 euros.
Do you have any friends
who could pay?
(inhales)
(poignant music playing)
(phone line ringing)
(operator over mobile phone)
Emergency. Which service?
Police, please.
(operator)
Putting you through now.
(birds chirping)
(footsteps approaching)
- (tense music builds)
- (Lukasz) Chloe?
I've thought of names
that can help get the money.
(Lukasz) Okay.
(pen scribbling)
(inhales shakily) I don't have
any of their numbers, 'cause
- if I had my phone
- (Lukasz) I'll email your agent.
He can contact them.
Are you sure
these are the best people to ask?
There's only four days
until you are sold at auction.
(music builds)
(mutters) Okay.

(exhales)
I don't have to put them back on
but you'll have to sleep
in my room,
so I can keep an eye on you.
(breathes sharply)
(brooding music playing)
- (handcuff clangs)
- (Lukasz) Okay. (sighs)
We'll take a side each.
I won't touch you.
But don't do anything stupid.
They are watching.
(sighing)
- (button clicking)
- (blanket rustling)
(Special Task Force Detective)
When was the last time
you spoke to Chloe?
The night she arrived in Milan.
(Special Task Force Detective)
And did she mention
if she'd met anyone
or had any problems?
(Phil) No. This is routine for her.
She flies all over the place.
She's a smart girl.
Did I say the right thing?
"Received"?
A specialised team
will take over the negotiation
and pose as you,
to convince the kidnappers
you haven't contacted the police.
They'll need full access
to all your emails.
And it's important
you don't discuss the investigation
with anyone.
Yeah, of course.

(Chloe) Can I?

- Yeah.
- (music concludes)
You look like you need a shower.
- Here.
- (bag swooshing)
Here. (inhales)
- And
- (tooth brush rattling)
that's for you.
- (poignant music playing)
- Thank you.
- (door shuts)
- (shower running)
(snuffles)
(tooth brush scrubbing)
(faucet running)
Much better?
(tense music builds)
Want to play a game?
(indistinct radio chatter)
(officer) Here you are, Mrs Ayling.
(phone line ringing)
(sighs)
- (breathes sharply)
- (phone line continues ringing)
(mobile phone rings, vibrates)
(mobile phone continues ringing)
(Special Task Force Detectives
chattering)
(Lukasz) Go on. Next guess.
(Chloe) Erm (sighs)
This is hard. (sighs)
B?
- (Lukasz) B?
- (color pencil scribbling)
For your mum?
That's part of our job
make research.
(smacks lips) Research the girls.
Know their family.
If you run
they can be punished.
(poignant music builds)
(sobs, stifled)
(insects chirping)
- (keys jingling)
- (beads clattering)
- (footsteps approaching)
- (lock turns)
(door creaks)
- Anything from Phil?
- (Lukasz) Nothing.
(breathes deeply)
And just three days
until the auction.
I don't have anyone else I can ask.
Me and Mum
don't have that kind of cash.
(Lukasz) I know.
That's what I keep telling my boss.
(inhales shakily, sighs)
But it's just business for him.
(sighs) He doesn't care
about girls
not like I do.
(sighs) I really appreciate
everything you're doing for me.
But I just wanna be back home
(inhales deeply)
with my mum. (exhales shakily)
(Lukasz) You're lucky.
I didn't knew my mum.
Sorry. That's sad.
That's why I try to help you.
(helicopter propellers whirring
in distance)
(dog whining, barking in distance)
- (Lukasz) Shh!
- (dog continues whining, barking)
(helicopter approaching)
- (gasps)
- (Lukasz) Quiet!
(shudders)
If anyone came here,
tell them that I'm your boyfriend,
and we are on vacation.
(breathes sharply) Remember,
Black Death is watching you.
(in hushed voice) Okay.
They will do anything
to keep you quiet.
(dog barking)
(helicopter departing)
(Lukasz) I'm risking my life
trying to save you!
(breathes sharply)
- (cupboard bangs)
- (Chloe shudders)
(Lukasz) I shouldn't be here!
It's not even my job
to look after the girls.
She'd be so proud of you.
Your mum.
Your mum would be so proud of you
for everything you're doing,
what you're willing to risk
to save me. (breathes shakily)
(Lukasz panting)
(hesitates) Yeah.
(continues panting)
(groans)
Just
(pants)
(sighs)
Are you scared of me?
I was (inhales)
on the first day,
before I knew you.
But I can see that you're not
the same as the others.
(chuckles softly)
(poignant music playing)
(Phil) Do they know
where she is yet?
Is is she okay?
Well, the negotiating team
are communicating
with the kidnapper, but I'm afraid
I can't divulge details.
Have any of your other models
worked with Andre before?
He's a new client. Is he
He's not involved in this?
Well, they've found
no trace of him or his work.
He doesn't exist.
And a different name was used
to book the studio space.
(scoffs) That's impossible.
I I spoke to him on the phone.
I've I've seen his portfolio
and and his website.
Can you provide the references
you got for him,
so we can cross-check him
I checked the address he provided,
on Google Maps.
I saw a photo of his studio.
Look, we don't request references.
It's not the done thing.
Ask too many questions,
and suddenly
you're annoying the client
and they go elsewhere.
(inhales, sighs)
I did everything I should.
(goat bleating)
(footsteps approaching)
(faucet dripping)
(Lukasz) Chloe?
Phil emailed.
(lock turns)
(sighs)
He can get 20 grand.
(sighs, hesitates)
- So, I can go home?
- (Lukasz) Oh, no
- Er, it's not that simple.
- (tense music playing)
My boss thinks
that you are worth
much more than this
(inhales shakily)
so he wants us to wait
and see if Phil can get more.
Right. (exhales)
But what Why would Phil lie?
'Cause if.. if he says that
that's all there is,
that's all he can get.
There's no more money. That's it.
But 20 grand is not enough.
We have to get more.
But I can't,
I can't stay here any longer.
- You have to let me go, please.
- I'm so sorry
Please, MD,
you've got to let me go.
- Listen to me.
- Let me go!
Call your boss!
- I'll pay the rest.
- (Lukasz) Fuck!
Just call him and tell him
that Phil wouldn't lie!
(sobbing) I promise!
I'll pay the rest.
I promise!
(poignant music builds)
(door opens)
(button clicking)
(music concludes)
(footsteps approaching)
(beads clattering)
I'm so sorry.
(sighs, hesitates)
I shouldn't have taken it
out on you like that.
(breathes sharply)
(sighs) I I know
that you're doing everything
that you can. (breathes deeply)
I shouldn't have spoken
to you like that. (sighs)
I'm just so scared. (sighs)
All right. It's okay.
It's okay. (sighs)
- Really?
- Yeah.
(chuckles, breathes shakily)
(Lukasz) I speak with my boss.
So, erm (smacks lips)
(inhales) erm (sighs)
(sighs deeply)
he will release you
if you agree to the conditions.
I I also offered
to pay the ransom,
but he won't allow me.
(breathes deeply)
You know,
I'll do anything to help you.
I'd like if maybe
we could be together
properly.
Yeah. Me too. (inhales deeply)
(exhales) There's one more thing.
If you agree, I will take you
to British Consulate.
(breathes sharply) But your shoes.
The guys who took you,
left all your stuff
in the studio
so tomorrow
I'll take you out
and buy a new pair.
(breathes shakily)
(stammers)
Are we allowed to do that?
As long as you stay close to me
everything will be fine.
Promise?
Yeah, I promise. Do you trust me?
(sighs)
Yeah. (inhales)
Good.
Good. (sighs)
(exhales shakily)
(birds chirping)
(breathes sharply)
(Lukasz breathing sharply)
(in hushed voice) Chloe?
- Are you awake?
- (intense music playing)
(Lukasz breathes sharply)
I feel so close to you.
Turn around.
(breathes sharply)
(smacks lips)
I want to be with you.
(button clicking)
(Chloe) We have to wait.
(breathes heavily)
(Lukasz) I can't wait.
(continues breathing heavily, sobs)
(Lukasz) Being so close to you
(sobs, stifled)
I'm not ready yet.
(shudders)
You wouldn't want
to make me do anything
I didn't want to do, right?
(continues shuddering)
- (handle clicks)
- (tap running)
(breathes deeply)
Er, yeah.
(smacks lips)
Er, just so hard to resist.
(shower running)
I think you should go
to take a shower.
(shudders)
(sniffles)
- (keys jingling)
- (lock turns)
(birds chirping)
(Lukasz) Remember,
Black Death will be watching.
Make sure you stay close to me.
(gloomy music builds)
(kids shouting)
- (bicycle bell trilling)
- (bell tolling)
(indistinct chatter)
(dog barking in distance)
Come.
(shop bell dinging)
(Lukasz, in Italian) Good morning.
(shopkeeper, in Italian)
Good morning.
If I can help you just let me know.
(speaks Italian) Si, grazie.
(speaks English) You can choose
whatever you want.
(inhales sharply)
- I'm a size five.
- (Lukasz, speaks Italian) Signora?
(shopkeeper, in Italian)
Yes, how can I help?
Size five,
so it should be number 38
(indistinct chatter)
(bike engine whirring)
(Lukasz, speaks English)
Would you like some of it?
(Chloe) Please.
(speaks Italian)
(speaks English) Stay there.
But don't move.
(bus air brake squealing)
- (music builds)
- (air brake hissing)
(bus revs)
- (Lukasz) Let's go.
- (music diminishes)
- (music concludes)
- (birds chirping)
(Chloe) I don't understand.
(Lukasz) You have to read
the conditions.
And then what?
Tomorrow morning, I'll take you
to the British Consulate
in Milan
(clicks tongue)
if you agree to the terms.
(swallows)
(dog barking in distance)
(Lukasz groans)
(Chloe) "Cease any investigation"?
What what happens
if the police ask where I've been?
You will explain them
that you have been released,
and you don't want
to press any charges
or discuss it further.
They can't force you.
(breathes sharply)
I've only got a month
(inhales shakily)
to find 50 grand?
(exhales shakily)
- If it's a problem
- No, erm
No, it's no problem at all.
(smacks lips) Listen, I
I already book the tickets
to the UK.
I'll be there. I can help you.
- (breathes sharply)
- (mellow music playing)
(Lukasz clearing throat)
It wasn't easy to negotiate this.
I assured my boss that
you can keep to this agreement.
(Chloe) Yeah, I'll work it out.
You know, erm (smacks lips)
if you don't pay
I wouldn't be able
to protect you
or your family.
I'll pay it all. (smacks lips)
I promise.
(Lukasz) You see there?
(gloomy music builds)
(Lukasz) That's where the girls
are usually kept.
Chained up.
That's where you would have been
if you would be a bitch.
- Do you want to see it?
- (sighs)
Thank you
for everything you've done.
You've saved my life.
(breathes shakily)
Are they out there?
It's fine.
I got you.
(music intensifies)
(music concludes)
