(Liv stares at Adam cradling his son so gently. The way a proper father would. She's explained what she knows, watched his face fill with fear and now she's huddled as far back from them as she can manage. Not wanting to intrude) ADAM: (whispers) I've got to find your Mum (Liv can feel something slip away inside her. She starts to cry) LIV: I'm so sorry (he stares at her) ADAM: What are you talking about? Come 'ere (his arm circles round and he pulls her in close) Don't apologise. Thank you kid.

COLIN: I've been waiting to make your acquaintance.. Some might say, between you and him (he gestures at Dave™ who is intently focused on the long grass between Robert and them) this whole mess is your doing ROB: Take it up with me then! Leave her out of it. COLIN: Maybe before you got the police involved. She'd have been stitched up and on her way. But now.. the bust? No can do I'm afraid (Rob grinds his teeth and stares Dave™ down) DAVE™: It was my job! He's right, you should have stayed away!

ROB: What's he doing? Why does he need pliers? AARON: (shudders physically. Remembering overheard conversations in prison, he whispers) Identification. Teeth. ROB: (jumps up, his jaw set and eyes full of fury) We need- AARON: Need to not rush this! (his hand goes gently to Rob's back) He's wearing a bullet proof vest Robert. We need to plan DAVE™: (in the distance) You're hurting her! COLIN: Like that matters (they hear Vic cry out in pain) ROB: Fuck planning! (He pulls away from Aaron's grip)

AARON: We can't leave her! ROB: Well we can't take her with us AARON: (Robert struggles to get up from the side of the car where he's crouched. Aaron clocks his front. Burgundy with blood. An ever-spreading stain. He always thought of Robert as untouchable. But now...) Maybe you should stay here with her? ROB: I promised Liv, I'm bringing you AND Vic back (he pulls a gun from his waistband) AARON: Where did you..? ROB: We're doing this together. We'll be back for her... Together yeah? AARON: Ok

[inloveamateursatbest]

ROB: Can you see anything? (Aaron climbs to the highest vantage point they can find) AARON: I think that's them (on the opposite side of the quarry he can see two figures stood by a dark jeep. They seem to be arguing) We'll have to go round (he turns to Robert checking the bullets in the guns cylinder). Robert? ROB: Yeah? AARON: We're not going to do anything stupid are we? (Rob's eyes flash between Aaron's crumpled hand and bloodied face. He frowns) That depends... AARON: On what? ROB: Come on!

(Colin's has the gun trained on Dave™'s head but clutches a phone to his ear. He's trying to keep his composure with the person on the other end) We're going to get rid of her. Choudri didn't touch any of the others. New stock... Most of them don't speak English. And they won't speak... No! All they've got is the drugs... They have no idea how far this thing goes, I promise... Yeah, ok... Straight away. DAVE™: Who's that? COLIN: Think I'm stupid!? (he cocks the gun) Now get the fuck out the car!

(The sound of gunfire dissipated, sirens came and went. Now blue lights bounce off the orange of the burning fire. Liv takes it all in from the back of an ambulance. Foil wrapped round her shoulders, the baby is still on her lap. She can't cry. They want her to answer endless questions. And she doesn't want to go. Not until...) ADAM: Help! Victoria Barton? (Liv bristles, he's here?! She gave the EMTs his details, but thought Rob or Aaron would be back. She wouldn't have to tell him) LIV: Adam?
