Run!

Liam!

Were you happy
with the room, sir?

Yes, it was very comfortable.
Thank you.

Liam, wake up.

What have I told you
about going in the lobby?

Sorry. It was so comfortable,
I fell asleep.

Tomorrow's my last early
for a few days.

Then you can have a lovely lie-in.
Sound good?

All right.
One more room, then school.

Vietnam.
Hanoi.

Russia.
Moscow. Too easy.

Burma.
It's called Myanmar now.

All right. What's the capital
of Myanmar, smart arse?

What's that? You don't know?

Liam. I'm re-enacting
the Battle of Agincourt.

Well, you'll be re-enacting me down
the bloody job centre at this rate.

Help me put it back.

You put the queen
on the wrong square.

..make the share prices too high.

I'm gonna have to call you back.
Leave it with me.

Sorry, we didn't realise.

Evidently.
Liam.

We're done.

Nice necklace.

Are you trying to get me fired?
Sorry.

It's her
you should be apologising to.

Come on.

'Going down.'

Treat for your lunch.
Not that you deserve it.

Oh, my... Who the heck are you?

Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
Yeah, well, this is private.

You shouldn't really be back here.

Mum.

He's so tiny.
He's a "she".

You been feeding her?
Found her the other day.

She's been abandoned.

Got an appetite on her.
What's her name?

Called her Ginger.

Wow. Imaginative (!)

So, is this a regular haunt
of yours, then?

Known worse.

Can we take her home?
Yeah, right,

cos we aren't already looking after
every creature under the sun (!)

Shit, the 23. Come on.

Liam!

Bye, Ginger. Bye.

Hey, we're here. Hey.

See you later.

Have a good day, darling.

I...
You're late.

I rang the agency.
I didn't think you were coming.

Oh, you do speak English, don't you?

I'm sorry. My last job run over.

If I'm paying for three hours,
I expect three hours' graft.

Otherwise,
I may as well do it myself.

You can make up the time at the end.

- My toy!
- That's my toy!

You in tomorrow?
Yeah, late, though.

Oh, all right.

Bye, darling. Take care.

Yo.
Hiya.

Wow! Nice nails, babe.
Ah, thank you.

I had a pedicure, too.

I thought,
"Jasmine, you deserve it."

And do you know what? I was right.

Nice.

It's this new guy, Matteo.
I'll give you his number.

Gave me a foot massage, too.

Seriously, what that guy can do
with his hands...

Well, I haven't got time
for a mani-pedi or a massage,

let alone a guy.

You do look knackered.

Thanks (!)

What time are we meeting tonight?
No. I can't. I'm skint.

You never come out any more.
Please, just one little drink.

Maybe.

Yes! How's the little fella?

Liam. Driving me insane.

Tell him I'm still waiting
for my ring.

Can't ask a girl to marry her
and not get her a ring. Idiot.

See you later, babe.
Bye, gorg.

Bye, girls.
Yeah, bye, love.

See you, Jas.
Yeah, see you later.

Yes, I appreciate you feel let down,
but as I've said before...

You here to bust my nuts and all?

I want nothing to do with your nuts.

I need more hours.

You're already doing more jobs
than anyone else.

Yeah, well, my bills are double.

I get half my food shop
for the same money.

I can't make it stretch.
Ooh! I'll tell you what.

I'm having lunch with the
Home Secretary in half an hour.

I'll get her to look into it.

Come on, I'm serious.
So am I.

Health and Safety'd tell me
I'm working you like a dog as it is.

I'm gonna lose my home, Geoff.

For God's sake!
My son goes to bed cold.

I go to bed hungry
so that he can eat.

This rate doesn't cut it any more.

You wanna leave? Be my guest.

I've got women literally queueing up
outside to take your place,

and believe you me,
they will give me half the aggro.

Look...

I would hate to lose you. Really.

But I cannot do any more.

Ugh. Well, anyway,
that's what I've said to him.

Bye, guys.

Are you in on Wednesday?

Right, I'll see you then.

What do you want? I'll have
the double cheeseburger, please.

But can you put the cheese on
the side? It can't touch the meat.

And no gherkin, and no lettuce.

And no mayo.

Nothing for me, thanks.

What? I had a massive lunch at work.

That will be £3.09, darling.

Reception said to come
straight through. I'm Simone Hale.

I left you a message.

Oh, yes.

Simone. Simone, please.
No, thank you, this won't take long.

You manage the cleaning contract
for the Iveagh Garden Hotel?

We do.

I've been asked to contact you
regarding one of your employees,

Rachel Connor.

There's not a problem, is there?
The opposite.

The person I represent would like
to engage her on a private basis.

Private? To do what?

To clean.

You come here, all this way,
in person, to hire a cleaner?

He's very particular.
Requires the utmost discretion.

Well...

the thing is, Simone,

that Rachel is a highly valued
member of our team.

And to replace her
at this late notice, well...

..that'd cost a fortune.

I see.

My employer will pay
whatever it takes.

You need to go on some dating sites,
get yourself out there.

I don't.

Anyway, they're mostly just
for people hooking up for sex.

Er, exactly.

I met this married couple, right?
Seemed dead boring,

I think the husband
does something with computers.

Anyway, next thing I know,
he asks me

if I'd like to have a threesome
with him and his wife.

Oh, my God. Did you?

Of course not.
Semi-final of Bake Off was on.

Hey, you know Adeel in accounts
fancies the pants off you?

All right. His tongue
practically rolls across the room

every time you walk past him.

He does have a cute arse.

I'm texting him.

No, don't you dare!
Why not?

Because...
it's not just about me, is it?

I'm not gonna put Liam through
all that again.

They won't all be like Kieron.

You deserve someone special.

We are fine as we are.

Oi, you dirty mare.
I thought you weren't interested?

I can window shop.

He is fit.
Oh, shut up. Twit.

Er, what are you still doing up?

Where's Edna?

That old biddy from next door?
Sent her back.

Off to bed now.

Hey. Don't I get a hug?

Good lad. Go on.

What do you want?

What? I'm not allowed to see my kid?
He's not your kid.

Anyway, it won't change
the habit of a lifetime.

Don't even think about asking, OK?

I can barely feed him as it is,

and the bailiffs have already
been round once this week.

But you can go out,
getting off your face?

Jasmine paid.

Look, you need to go.
I've got to be up early.

What's that? You want me to stay?

One more for old time's sake?

Careful.

You wouldn't want to lose Liam,
would you?

Mum.

It's all right, darling.

Kieron was just leaving.

No. No. No!
Get off.

Kieron, that's for his school trip.

You can have it back next week,
yeah?

I'm sorry about
your war museum trip.

I'll make it up to you, I promise.

I'll tell you what,
I'll ask the chefs at work

to put something by
for that little kitten.

What was his name?
Ginger.

Yeah, Ginger, that's it.

I love you.
Love you, too.

Go on.

Morning. Good morning.

Miss Connor.

I really need to get to work.
It will only take a second.

It's just... we had a bit
of an incident yesterday in class.

Liam came in from the playground
with a dead bird.

Dead bird?

Yeah, a fox must have got it. A lot
of the children were distressed.

I'm not surprised. Those foxes
can be right little thugs.

I mean about Liam bringing it in.

Oh.
It's just...

it's not the first time
this sort of thing has happened.

He brought a mouse in last time.

Well, he loves animals.

He wants to be a vet one day.
He's just curious.

The classroom isn't the place
for that sort of thing.

Learning?
Autopsies.

A lot of the other children
were frightened.

Look, I'm sorry to ask this, but
is there anything going on at home?

Excuse me?

Sometimes, this sort of behaviour
can be a sign of underlying anxiety.

Liam's a clever boy, OK?

Don't ask me where he gets it from,
but he is.

Maybe if he was more stimulated
at school.

Well, we have to consider the safety
of the other children.

Safety? Oh, my...
Do you even know my son?

I'm sorry,
but if this happens again,

we may need to consider referring it
to our safeguarding team.

You wanted to see me?
Yeah, come in, come in.

I had an interesting visitor
yesterday.

Exec-type from a fancy company.

Says her boss has seen you work
around the Iveagh,

and you've made
quite the impression.

Me?
Yeah.

So much so
that he wants to hire you.

Double your normal rate
and maybe even more.

You're kidding? What for?
Well, that's what I'm wondering.

You sure there's nothing funny
going on? What?

Well, you said you were
desperate for money.

Are you actually serious?

You know what?
Stick your job up your arse.

What? Wait, no. Wait, Rachel.
Please.

Look, I'm sorry.

Maybe I've got the wrong end
of the stick. Yeah, you did.

Look, if you really don't know
anything about this,

then maybe today's your lucky day.

And by the sounds of it,
you can basically name your price.

Yeah, and what does this guy
want in return?

A clean house, apparently.

Look... go and see him.

If there is anything dodgy,
just forget I even asked. When?

Tomorrow, four thirty.
What about my other jobs?

Oh, I'll deal with that.

Right, well,
you'll have to drive me.

What?
I'm not going there on my own.

Fine. But after that,
you're on your own.

No. No way.

You never said anything
about bringing the kid with you.

Hello, Liam.
Fine. In that case, I can't go.

May I remind you
I'm doing you a favour?

And I have an 11-year-old, Geoff,
and no-one to look after him.

So either he comes or I don't.

Are you blackmailing me?
Yeah.

All right, get in. You don't
spill anything on the upholstery.

Cor, blimey.

Fuck me.
Mum.

What are you waiting for?

You not coming in?
No, I'll wait here.

Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.

Right, come on, then.

Good luck.

Hello?

Hello-o?

'The greatest angler on the river
has got to be the Kingfisher.' Liam!

'They're just master fishermen,
and they've got...'

Would you stop it?
Sit down until I find someone.

Don't touch anything.

Oh, gosh! Sorry.

Nobody answered,
but the door was open.

I'm Rachel.
I know who you are.

That's my son, Liam.
Liam, say hello.

He's broken up for the holidays,

and childcare
isn't really an option,

so I had to bring him,
but he's as good as gold.

Sorry, but do I know you?

I feel like we've...
At the hotel.

You were cleaning
my employer's suite.

Yes. Knew we'd met.

Wait, sorry, is...
that why I'm here?

Is what why you're here?

Is that where you saw me?
It's just I'm wondering

why you picked me
out of all the other cleaners.

Oh, I didn't pick you.
That was my employer's decision.

I'm just here to show you around.
Oh, right.

Normally, you'd have been
fully vetted by now,

but my employer's decided to relax
some of our usual protocols.

"Protocols"? You've lost me.

Means I'm gonna go through your life
with a fine-tooth comb.

I hope for your sake
I don't find anything.

Is that right?

Well,
what about your boss's background?

Excuse me?
Maybe I should be vetting him.

I'm sorry.
Do you want this job or not?

I'll let you know
when you finish showing me about.

So, what exactly is it
your boss wants from me?

Like I said, to clean.

That's all?
That's all.

Every day?

Is there a problem with that?

Well,
it's just the place is spotless.

Like I explained to your employer...

..he is very particular.

His money.

As a general rule,

if the door is shut,
it's off limits,

and YOU don't enter
this section of the property

under any circumstances.

Is it your boss's pain room?

Are we on the same page here,
Rachel?

We're on the same page.
Off limits, circle of trust.

So, if I get the job,
when do you want me to start?

Now.
Now?

If you don't want it,
I can find someone else. No.

No, I'll take it.
Good.

We'll call it
a two-week trial period.

I'll get you the code
to the alarm and the front gate.

Anything else,
my card is on the hallway table.

Simone? If you see Geoff outside,
you'd better tell him he can go.

Jerry, hello.
Thank you for calling me back.

When do I get to meet
this boss of yours?

I know.

Does he have a name, at least?

This never happens again, OK?

The last thing we need

is that Simone throwing us out
on our ears.

Why's she so miserable?
She's not.

She's just not getting any.

I bumped into your teacher
yesterday.

She said you brought a dead bird
into class.

Darling,
what have we said about this?

You can't go freaking out
the other kids.

I know it was dead,

but I didn't wanna leave it
out there on its own.

I saw a purple emperor butterfly
in the garden.

A what?

It's a really rare type
of butterfly. I looked it up.

It's the second-largest butterfly
in the country. Wow!

Well, don't go getting any
funny ideas about taking it home.

In fact, don't touch a thing.

Liam, what did I tell you?

I won't break it.

I'm serious,
I can't afford to lose this job.

Sorry.

Where did you learn that?

YouTube.

I borrowed your phone.

Cheeky bugger!

Go on.

Show me how it's done.

All right, so you start on this one.

OK, I've never done...
With this pinky...

and then this.

It looks exactly the same
as it did before.

Does, doesn't it?

What is it?

Zero, three, two, nine...

Hang on. Zero, three,
two, nine. Yeah?

Five, four.

Five, four.

Is that it?

That's it, just cleaning?

Yeah.

No funny business,
not even a cheeky handjob?

Oh, my God! Shut up, will you?
I would.

What's five minutes
if a guy's minted?

I haven't even met him yet.
Just his evil sidekick, Simone.

You can give her one if you want.
Oh, if it gets me a job!

Kieron was at the flat
when I got back the other night.

Took Liam's school trip money.

Are you joking?

What a prick!

Oh, little man.

Still, he'll be able to go on
all the school trips he wants now.

Right, I'd better rescue
the neighbour from him.

Hey, us three should go on holiday
- you, me and Liam.

Hold up, I've only worked there
one afternoon.

Get them to give you an advance,
then.

Kieron doesn't know about this job,
does he?

No, thank God. Are you sure you're
all right to come over tomorrow?

When have I ever let you down?

Anyway, you're gonna put in a word
for me with your boss.

Oh, am I?!

Big house like that,
bound to need another cleaner.

Oh, go on,
let's look at some holidays.

Yes! Get in!

Teeth.
Then you can read, ten minutes.

Half an hour?

Ten. We've got an early start.

Liam, have you been
tidying up in here again?

No.

I swear I left some clothes
on the bed.

Right, buddy, let's do this.

How long do you think it'll take us
to walk up this drive?

Too long.

Oh!

Mum! Someone's here!

Shit!

You?

Hello again.

Wait, you own this?
Last time I checked.

You're not homeless.

Fortunately not.

Right, well,
I've made a complete tit of myself.

I'm Rachel.
Elliot.

Where's Liam?

Simone told me his name.

Well, he's about somewhere.

I'm here.
Hi.

You don't mind I brought him.

I explained to Simone
it's school holidays.

It's impossible to...
I'm glad he's here.

Oh.

I saw a purple emperor butterfly
in your garden.

Well spotted. I'm impressed.

I have something else
that might interest you.

Go on.

Mum! Look!

Now that makes two of us
who aren't homeless.

How are you at driving?
I don't have a licence.

Let's leave Ginger here
and follow me.

So, I restore them.

This... is a Citroen Traction Avant,

one of the first cars
to ever use front-wheel drive.

Wow!

This is a 1959 Borgward.

You know it?

He's a walking Wikipedia.

Hop in.

You can start it, if you like.
Are you sure that's a good idea?

Oh, it's fine.
Doesn't have a gearbox yet. OK.

Beautiful, isn't it?

I can take care of Liam
if you wanna finish up inside.

Oh, no, really, you don't need to.

I'd like to show him round.
Please, Mum.

OK. Be good. Thanks.

..plane or a helicopter...

..something else...

..and then we'd be there.

Hey.
Elliot gave me these overalls.

So he can help in the garage.

They should fit him.

I don't know what to say.
Don't say anything.

Liam, what do you say?

Thank you.
You're welcome.

Go on, then.

I have to say, it's nice having
someone young in the house again.

"Again"?
I was married before.

A while back. I had a stepson.

You probably saw his room upstairs.

Simone said
that was strictly out of bounds.

Yeah, well,
Simone is a stickler for the rules.

I'd better let you go.
Yeah. Back to reality.

Can I ask you something?
Why did you pick me?

I mean, you could've hired anyone
from the hotel.

Instinct.

After bumping into me once
by some bins.

Well, I have a bit of a confession.

That wasn't the first time
I saw you.

I stay there a lot
when I'm in town,

and I'd noticed you before.

You stalking me?

Mum.
Gotta catch our bus.

Thank you.
Bye.

Bye, Liam.
Bye.

Are you sure about this?
Because I'm not.

Her ex is a junkie
with a string of convictions,

and there's something else
in her history.

Something she's hiding.

Then find it.

Oi! What the hell are you doing?
Sorry?

Who gave you the right
to break into my flat?

Er, you've got it all wrong.

You know what? No.
Save it for the police.

We're not the bailiffs, love.
Just dropping something off.

Your mate let us in.

What's going on?

Oh, my...

Fuck me!
Li!

You said it.

You got that advance, then.

It's the same model as Elliot's.
"Elliot"?

He's the guy I'm cleaning for.
He bought you this?

It's got internet and everything.
I can even play games on it.

No. No. Oh...
Where do you want this?

Ginger!

I think my theory's right about him,
you know, though.

No fella just gives a woman
a great job, a telly and a puppy.

A kitten.

You need to get in there

and show him
just how grateful you are.

I have to host
this charity cocktail party tonight.

Yeah, Simone said.
Would you come?

It was my mother's.
It's beautiful.

Would you like to wear it?

Shit.

So, we make you feel good.
Like charity.

I like helping people like...
People like me?

Mum.

You can stay at mine.
No.

Just a few days...
till you get yourself sorted.

We can't stay here, babe.
It's not safe.
