Indeed. I’m not really sure. I just figured I can’t hide forever. We all have to face our demons at some point.
Some of us more literally than others. My demon is... Safely locked away for the time being. If you need help with yours... Lemme know.
Exciting? Hmm, I don’t know, being punched in the face isn’t my idea of fun. Call me strange, but I think avoiding violence is a pretty good policy!
I work for the Yard, miss. Violence is sort of in my business. Putting a stop to it anyway, but it always seems to pop back up.
If the difference between excitement and non-excitement for you is to have someone punch you in the face instead of mingling with your colleagues, I’m glad I don’t have your job, brother dear.
There's far too much paperwork in my job for your liking anyway, sister mine. My colleagues can prove incredibly dry sometimes, to be honest.
How've you been? It feels like forever since I've actually talked to you.
Tim. Darling, it’s been ages.
It's been far, far too long. Back in our chaotic city, I see. What called you home?
You know, you'd think I'd rather sitting in my office than being punched by a suspect, but it makes life more exciting doesn't it?
Well…here we go again.
Well. Look who's back in London.
I just need you. I love you too, Tim. Thank you…thank you for being here. I know you’re a busy guy what with being commissioner…god, I’m sorry…we…we never celebrated that properly.
Don't worry. Another time, okay? This is much more important. You're more important. Work can wait. Everything can wait. I'm here, for you, always.
If you say you think that I can do it then I believe you. I…good…if you’re here I think I can keep it together…I…I think I’ve gotten all of my emotional tantrums out of the way…now it’s mostly…bouts of quiet crying at random intervals. Like…when I eat a sandwich…and think about how he’s in too much pain for anything like that. Or when I think of…everything. Everything hurts. Everything thought every action. But you being here helps…it does. Can you…come over tomorrow?
Yes. I'll come over tomorrow, I promise. Take a bit of time off, I'm the big boss commissioner now, I suppose I can do what I like, hah. If you cry, I'll hold you. I.. I'll be here. For whatever you need. Because I love you, okay? I'll always love you, no matter what.
Oh, I see. Well it’s none of my interest. You need to stop fretting so much, it’ll kill you soon enough and I can’t have that happening. Curious to who is chasing me about? Like I’ve said before Mortimer; don’t worry about it. It’s my game to play and I would hate for you to be involved. I’ll be fine and you’ll still meet me. I have a bit of time to kill. How was your day Mr. Todd?
It's what I do, okay? I'll be fine. I have too much to do before I die so. I'm quite curious, honestly. Sort of my job to be watching the streets of London. It was... Um. Stressful, I suppose? My... Daughter, surrogate daughter... Her... The man she loves is dying. So. Yeah.
I don’t feel strong. I…I love him so much, Tim. A world without him just doesn’t make sense. And I have to say goodbye…and just…how the hell do you say goodbye to someone who is a part of you. It doesn’t make sense. I don’t know how…how people do this.
They... They do this by staying strong, focusing on who they still have left... I just.. I don't... I'm sorry, I wish I had all the answers for you, baby, really I do. I... I've lost people, but never like this... I'm so sorry. I love you. For what it's worth - I won't leave your side, alright?
It’s not even about me deserving anything…it’s…Derrick deserves better. He deserves to have a long and happy life, to reach his dreams, to grow as a person. It’s…it’s cruel…that people who do horrible things get to make it to a ripe old age and he…he’s such a good man and this is what he gets. He gets to die. And he…he wants me to be myself…he wants me to smile and be the Evie he knows…that’s the image of me that he wants to leave this world with…and I’m trying so hard to give him that…but it…it hurts.
He does. And so do you. I... I know it's hard. Oh god, it must be so... I... You're so strong, my love, so strong, and you don't even know it. I'm right here, holding your hand... Just... I... Fucking hell, this isn't fair by any stretch of the imagination. I'm... So sorry. You will and can get through this because you're the strongest girl I know, okay? Just... I... I'm sorry.
Family? You have children? I wasn’t aware of that. They must be small still, when did you start your family? Are you worried about me? You don’t know my identity. Such a caring man. Someone is chasing me out of the city sadly, but I will be back to collect those that belong to me. You don’t need to fret, love. I can take care of myself.
No children, no, no, um, not just yet. Not... No. My family. The ones I love and care about. They are my family. Some blood, most not. I... I suppose I am. I'm a worrier, it's in my blood, I suppose. Who's chasing you? Collect... Hm. I'm... Sure you can.
I don’t…me and movies probably won’t be getting along for a while.
The reason I took off work is that…I’ve been at the hospital a lot.
Don’t…don’t freak out, I’m fine. I’m okay.
It’s Derrick. He…he has a brain tumor. It’s stage four. He’s not going to make it, Tim. And I didn’t tell you…because…you’ve been so happy and I didn’t want to spoil that for you…and because saying it out loud to you…especially to you…makes it real. And I don’t want it to be real.
Oh, God, Evie... Fuck, I... Fuck. You should've told me, no matter how happy I was. I'm... I'm your dad, Evie and... That's the most important thing to me right about now. I wouldn't... Want it to be real... I'm here. No matter what. I'm going to be by your side for as long as life lets me, okay? I... I love you, Evelyn. And... That's... Fuck. I'm so sorry. You deserve... So much... Better.. Not.. I...
I’m wondering what caught your attention. Is it the excitement of not knowing who you’re communicating with? That could be dangerous, love. Still I would never hurt you. I can’t be in London for too long. I will be back for you. If you do refuse everything I can go on knowing I tried. You may be able to find me before I leave. You know all my hiding places or you should by now.
No... It couldn't be... No. I... I won't be able to look for you. I"m afraid that my family needs me right now... Why are you leaving? Is there something you're afraid of here? I.. Now you've piqued my interest fully, honestly.
...just.. Save it for someone else I really don't want to go into this. At all. You have to ask me what you can do? Do something, Tim. Jesus. You aren't working right now, are you? I don't think so.. Use your fucking phone and ... I have Evie at a hotel by the hospital. The room is under my name and my card is on file until she is out of there. Work. No work. Busy or not busy. Figure out how you are doing it because I have a million a one things to do and I already got shit from Riley for being stressed.
I'll take care of my daughter, like I always do. I may have been gone for a week, but I know how to take care of Evie, okay? I'll take care of Evie and I'll take care of you. I'm sorry that matters of our nation came between me and helping out, but I'm here now and I'm not going anywhere. Okay?
Well, not exactly the same. But I wouldn’t know much about that, I’m afraid. Far too new to be able to say what has changed and what has remained untouched. I know there is a load of paperwork and a lot of unfamiliar faces in my case. I haven’t seen you yet around the Yard, I must have missed you—oh, right. You said you were away.
I’m Detective Xander Colt, I transferred here from New York. Westchester, to be more specific.
Colt. Got your file here, I see. From the States, still new, but a pretty high rank. It's a pleasure, Colt. I'm Commissioner Todd, you seem to be doing well so far.
Paperwork can be a bitch, I'll give you that. Dunno if it's more or less than you've had in the past, but we sure have a lot. Interesting cases too, we tend to have at least three or four serial killers at a time, hah.
Welcome to London.
I haven’t found the wrong person. It’s not only Mortimer I’m interested in. It’s always been the full package. I would never be selfish enough to pick “Mortimer” or “Tim” as a personal gain. I love you both just as. I can’t tell you who I am; not yet. Can I ask for a bit of time? Soon you’ll understand everything. You may guess all you like, but please understand. I’m only doing what’s best for you.
A bit of time? I... Sure. I suppose. I... I just don't understand. You sound so familiar and yet... I can't seem to place you. I... All I know is that you've certainly gotten to me.
