I'm Emily's dad, and I killed her,
WOMAN: I understand you're still married,
JACK: 'Tasha,' - Mummy, look,
JACK: 'You know, I hope, wherever she is,
'she's managed to find some peace,'
HAYLEY: Jen?
That's not possible, You should've told me,
HAYLEY: 'It was three years ago, Jen,
'You're with Connor now,
'Everything that Jack put you through, it's in the past,'
SAM: 'He's a psychopath,
'He crashed a car with Emily in it to try and hurt Tash,
'He can never know,'
JACK: 'Dig deeper, Johnny,'
She can't have disappeared off the face of the Earth,
Sam, we didn't work before,
There's no reason that we'd work now,
I was as good as a dad to that girl for two years, all right?
I can't just forget that,
I am gonna do whatever I have to to keep you safe,
JEN: He wants to get to me, he will,
JACK: You must be Connor, - Leave her alone,
She dreams about me,
This has nothing to do with me,
You're in this, Jen,
I don't want to go!
TASHA: 'Lucy, we're gonna play the hiding game,'

And why did you have to see him to do that?
So he'd know I was serious,,,
about cutting him out of my life,
And, what, he's just gonna leave you alone now, is he?

And she's in trouble,
I can't do this,
Well,,, No, please, I,,,
I hate having to ask this, but I thought maybe you could,,,
you could lend me some money that I can give to them,
Are you being serious?

What do you want from us?
Why can't we just go?
I'm grateful you didn't rat me out to the police,
but honestly, I'm not in the mood for a talking to,
I'm exhausted, and I am empty,
- That's not true, - Yes, it is,
I have got nothing left,
Tasha, I didn't rat you out
because I don't think any kid deserves
to be separated from their mother,
And I've seen women like you before,
SHE SIGHS
Plenty of them who will fight, steal, break into places,
anything to keep their kid alive,
That's not empty,
Whatever it is you're running from, you're safe here,
Is it Lucy's dad?
It's more complicated than that,
I can't tell you,
I wish I could, I can't, I can't even tell her,
I have to tell her all these stories,
I mean, she's my princess, she deserves a castle, but,,,
I can't even give her a warm bed,
So I have to make up stories that we're on an adventure,
that we're playing the hiding game,
that we're playing the running game,
And she loves it now, but I know that, one day,
she'll turn around and ask me what really happened,,,
,,,or she'll call me a liar,
And,,,
,,,I cannot tell her, and I can't tell you,
Stay,
Stay a little bit longer,

I open the one addressed to you,
I hope you don't mind, but I had to,
HAYLEY WHIMPERS
I think he's gonna do something,
I don't know, something catastrophic,
He,,, He talks about how much he loves you,
how he'll always love you but it's time to go
and see Emily now,
I've been to Jack's old place, to our parents',
W-What's River Point? Your first place?
And he, erm,,,
he talks about the stars, but I don't understand it,
but maybe you do,
You do, don't you?
Jen, where is he? Oh! - I don't know, I don't know,
Have you called the police? - Of course I have!
No-one knows him like you do, Jen, please,,,
Ugh, it's you,
Well, I do live here, so,,,

Jen, you said you were cutting him out of your life,

How come you're in Cyprus?
I like the sunshine,

And the beaches,
You see much of them?
Tasha, if it's Lucy's dad you're hiding from,
there's a woman's refuge a few miles away,
No, it's not that, I don't need a refuge,
It doesn't have to be like this,
But you already know that, right?
Is there a way you can speak to your ex safely,
get what you're owed for you and your daughter?
Maria, it's not quite what you think,
If you want that castle, Tasha, you have to fight for it,
You want me to fight harder than this?
Yes,

Hey,
Hey, what's happened?
Hey, Hey, hey, Jen, Darling, tell me,
You're freezing, What's happened?
Did you find him? Jen, Jen!
He fucked me,
What? He what?
Really,
You're not making any sense, Jen, You're talking in riddles,
I don't understand, - You'll never understand,
- Then tell me, What can I do? - Nothing,
What does he have over you?
Jack's daughter didn't die in the crash,
She's been in hiding with her mother,
I don't understand,
Tasha took her from the car while we were unconscious,
What?
Jack was told that there was no sign of his daughter
because there wasn't,
- So where did they go? - Anywhere they could,
And what does any of this got to do with you?
Because Jack tricked me,
I told him where Tasha is, and he's going to kill her,
and that's before he finds out
that his daughter is still alive,
So I have to get to them before they do,
This is Tasha's problem, not yours,
I'm culpable! Can't you see that?
- For what? - I don't know, kidnap,
I don't know the fucking law,
All I know is I don't want to go to prison,
You won't, I won't let that happen, Jen,
I don't want her blood on my conscience,
It won't be on yours, It will be on Jack's,
I can't live with that,
Connor, you asked for the truth,
OK, and what are you even gonna do
when you get there, Jen?
Help them,,, Help them get away, I,,,
This is madness, Please do not do this, Jen,
I'm sorry, I am sorry,
I love you, - Do you?
You know, Jack will always win, Jen,
Not because he's smarter or any sort of master manipulator,
It's because you let him,
You were right about Jen,
Cyprus,
No, now, - What are you doing?
Where are you going? Jack?
Jack!
Tasha,
What? Look, you're not gonna do anything stupid, are you?
No, I'm going to do exactly what I need to do, all right?
And you, for once in your life,
are gonna keep your fucking mouth shut,
SHE EXHALES SHARPLY
I'm not stealing, I'm not,
He's coming for me,
You're right, I can't keep running,
I wanna get a job, and I want to get a home,
and I want to bring Lucy to the beach
and have her swim in the sea every day,
But I need to be able to protect myself,
I need to be ready,
So I need you to show me how to use this thing,
Please,
